CITY OF BANNING

STAFF REPORT
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Douglas Schulze, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Art Vela, Public Works Director
MEETING DATE: October 22, 2024
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution 2024-169, Approving Electric Rate Increases and Revisions to Certain Electric Rates and Tariffs
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution 2024-169.

BACKGROUND:

On June 25, 2024, staff reported on the lowering of the Banning Finance Authority's Outstanding Electric System Revenue Bond rating, see staff report attached hereto. In summary, the City’s outstanding Electric System 2015 Refunding Revenue Bonds (current outstanding balance: $20,880,000) underlying rating was downgraded from A- to BB due to two primary factors:

1. Lack of proactive rate setting: while the electric rates underwent various restructures, the rates have not been increased for the purpose of generating additional revenue since 2013.

2. The use of interfund borrowing to meet financial obligations: due to increases in power purchase costs, operating expenses and accelerated investments in capital improvements, the Banning Electric Utility’s cash balance fell below reserve policy and has been supplemented by other City funds.

During the June 25, 2024 discussion, City Council provided direction for staff to prepare different rate increase options. On August 27, 2024, staff returned (see attached staff report) with four options:

1. Option 1: No rate increase; do nothing.

2. Option 2: A 13% rate increase in FY 2025 to cover the annual deficit only.

3. Option 3: A 64% rate increase in FY 2025 (Option 3A) or a 22% rate increase in FY 2025 and FY 2026 (Option 3B) to cover the annual deficit, brings cash balance to positive and avoids debt coverage covenant default.

4. Option 4: A 13% rate increase in FY 2025 to cover the annual deficit, bring cash balance to positive and avoids debt coverage covenant default. This option replenishes cash with $10M bond revenue.

Although the majority of City Council supported Option 3B, two City Councilmembers (Flynn and Minjares) requested to see a modified Option 3B, that would include increases spread over three years rather than two years.

On September 24, 2024, staff presented three electric rate increase options for City Council’s consideration:
794

1. Option 3B: Same as described above, although updated to reflect an increase of 22.7% each year in FY 2025 and FY 2026.

2. Option 3C: 14.7% rate increase each year in FY 2025, FY 2026 and FY 2027 to cover the annual deficit, bring cash balance to positive and avoids debt coverage covenant default.

3. Option 4B: 13.9% rate increase per year in FY 2025 and FY 2026 to cover the annual deficit, bring cash balance to positive and avoids debt coverage covenant default. This options is similar to Option 4 described above, although revised to rely on $6M in bond revenue made up of $3.8M in taxable financing and $2.2m in tax exempt financing.

In concluding the discussion, Council majority supported Option 4B.

If approved, the following rates and tariffs will be adjusted as follows (see Exhibit “A” for revised rate and tariff pages in their entirety; all others remain unchanged):

JUSTIFICATION:

Banning Electric Utility’s (“BEU”) cash balance has decreased significantly in recent years due to a combination of capital spending and inflationary pressures. Over Fiscal Years 2020-21 through 2022-23, BEU spent $10 million per year on average toward capital projects. Additionally, while BEU has historically been able to generate sufficient operating revenues to cover operating expenses, in each of the last three fiscal years – 2022, 2023 and 2024 – operating expenses have been greater than operating revenues. One driver behind the increase in operating expenses is power purchase costs, which increased 31% from 2019 to 2023.

As a result, BEU’s unrestricted cash and investment balance decreased significantly from over $18 million in FY 2019 to negative $9.5 million in FY 2024. Because operating expenses have been greater than revenues in the last three years and cash balances are negative, BEU has needed to borrow from 796
other City funds.

BEU’s capital improvement plan has been drastically reduced with the intent of reducing expenditures and impacts the required electric rate increase, evident that the rate increases are not in excess of the revenue requirements reasonably necessary to operate the City’s electric utility.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If approved, the first rate increase of 13.9% would become effective on November 1, 2024 and the second rate increase of 13.9% would become effective on November 1, 2025. The rate increase will generate sufficient revenue to cover all of Banning Electric Utility expenses including: general administrative services; services rendered by other city departments in support of the Banning Electric Utility; additions and betterments to the electric utility system; the amortization or depreciation of obsolete facilities within the electric utility system; any and all bonded indebtedness incurred in the construction or extension of the electrical utility system, including principal and interest thereof; and a reasonable reserve fund to provide for unforeseen contingencies.

The proposed electric rate increases will result in approximately $2.5M in additional revenue in FY 2025 and $4.1M in additional revenue in FY 2026.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. City Council could elect to reject staff’s recommendation and no pursue an electric rate increase.

This alternative would result in further degradation of BEUs cash balance as well as impact the City overall cash position. This alternative may also lead to further lowering of BEU’s bond rating.

2. City Council could elect to reconsider the previous electric rate increase options or request another be explored. This alternative will result in further degradation of BEU’s cash balance until rate increases are approved. This alternative may also lead to further lowering of BEU’s bond rating.

CITY OF BANNING

STAFF REPORT
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Douglas Schulze, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Art Vela, Public Works Director
Art Vela, Public Works Director
MEETING DATE: June 25, 2024
SUBJECT: Discussion Regarding the Lowering of the Banning Financing Authority’s Outstanding Electric System Revenue Bond Rating and Consideration of an Interim Electric Rate Adjustment
RECOMMENDATION:

Discussion and direction regarding an interim electric rate adjustment.

BACKGROUND:

Electric System Revenue Bonds
In 2007 the Banning Finance Authority, through the City of Banning, issued a series of electric system revenue bonds (“Electric System Series 2007 Bonds”) to assist in the financing of improvements including new substations, circuit breakers, underground feeders, land and other improvements. The amount of the Electric System Series 2007 Bonds was $45,790,000.

In 2015, City Council (acting as the Banning Finance Authority) adopted Resolution 2015-02FA authorizing the refunding of the revenue bonds (“Electric System 2015 Refunding Revenue Bonds”) with the intent to take advantage of historic low interest rates which were to save the City approximately $1,050,000. At the time of the refunding, the Electric System Series 2007 Bonds had an outstanding aggregate principal amount of $40,045,000. The Electric System 2015 Refunding Revenue Bonds were authorized in an amount of not-to-exceed $45,000,000.

For clarity purpose, a revenue bond is a type of municipal bond. Municipal bonds act like loans, with bondholders becoming creditors. In exchange for borrowed funds (i.e. funds invested by bondholders) the bondholders/investors are promised interest on their invested amount. Revenue bonds are secured by revenues generated by the issuer which, in the City’s case, is the City’s Electric Utility.

Electric System 2015 Refunding Revenue Bonds Ratings
Credit ratings are provided by credit rating agencies, such as S&P Global, that specialize in evaluating credit risk. Credit ratings are forward looking and provide investors with independent opinions about an issuer’s, such as a corporation or state/city government, to meet its financial obligation. Typically, ratings are expressed as letter grades that range from ‘AAA’ to ‘D’ to communicate the agency’s opinion of relative level of credit risk.

From the S&P Global’s website: “Our studies have shown that the higher the ratings, the lower the default rates, and vice versa. For example, our historical statistics show a 3-year cumulative default rate for a ‘BBB’ rated company of 0.91%, vs. 4.17% for a ‘BB’ rated one, 12.41% for a ‘B’ rate one and

45.67% for a ‘CCC/CC’ rate one.”
1 814
On March 20, 2024 the City of Banning received notice from S&P Global that they had lowered the underlying rating from ‘A-’ to ‘BBB’ and put on Credit Watch, see attached correspondence and back up analysis.

On May 2, 2024, the City of Banning received notice from S&P Global that they had again lowered the underlying rating from ‘BBB’ to ‘BB’ with an “outlook for this rating as negative”, see attached correspondence and back up analysis (“May 2024 S&P Analysis”).

In summary, according to the May 2024 S&P Analysis the recent downgrading of the Electric System 2015 Refunding Revenue Bonds was a result of the following:

The use of interfund borrowings to meet financial obligations.

Lack of proactive rate setting.

May 2024 S&P Analysis also describes that the outlook is negative which “reflects our view that rates are not anticipated to be raised before fiscal-year end 2025.

Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Budget
In an effort to improve the Banning Electric Utility's financial position the City has taken to following approach reflective in the planned Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/2025 budget:

Continued implementation of the Power Cost Adjustment Factor (PCAF; Estimated at $1.1M). The PCAF began on January 1, 2022.

Continued to sell Renewable Energy Credits (RECs; Estimated at $2.48M) Reduced the utility’s Capital Improvement Plan from $16.4M to $1.1M Collection of delinquencies ($1.9M). Shutoff notices resumed in April, 2024.

With the above changes the Electric Utility is projected to have a FY 2024/2025 budget shortfall of $1,200,130.

It is also projected that the Electric Utility will have a FY 2025/2026 budget shortfall of $1,135,060.

For reference, the Electric Utility will have a budget shortfall of approximately $4.7M at the end of FY 2023/2024. Although the utility is expecting a $2.5 million Aid In Construction payment to be recorded before June 30, 2024, which will reduce that expected net loss to approximately $2.2 million.

One option for City Council’s consideration would be an interim rate adjustment in order to avoid further deterioration of the Banning Electric Utility’s cash position, which is projected to be negative $8.8M at the end of FY 2023/2024. If City Council provides direction to staff to proceed with this option, staff will present an analysis and recommendation to City Council at the August 27, 2024 City Council meeting.

The rate adjustment would be considered “interim” while staff hires a consultant to develop a complete Cost of Service (COS)/Rate Study, which would likely be completed during the fourth quarter of FY 2024/2025.

JUSTIFICATION:

According to the May 2, 2024 S&P Analysis, the Electric System 2015 Refunding Revenue Bonds rating could be further downgraded if the Banning Electric Utility is not able to rebuild and maintain a sustained track level of positive reserves and improve its structural balance.

The May 2024 S&P Analysis indicates that the “negative outlook” is a result of rates likely not being raised prior to fiscal year end 2025.
2 815
FISCAL IMPACT:

The projected budgetary shortfalls for FY 2024/2025 and FY 2025/2026 will continue to negatively impact the utility’s cash balance, which may result in a higher rate increase in the future.

ALTERNATIVES:

Do not proceed with Interim Electric Rate Adjustment.

BANNING ELECTRIC UTILITY

EMERGENCY RATE INCREASE SCENARIOS

PRESENTATION TO CITY COUNCIL
August 27, 2024
820
2 Background & Objective
Electric Utility’s most recent utility‐wide rate increase occurred in 2013 •Most recent rate adjustment occurred in 2022 when some customer categories’ rates increased while others decreased, but there was no net increase in the overall rates During the last 10 years, the Electric Utility has seen increasing pressure from operating expense inflation, power purchase costs, and capital expenditures •Pressures have resulted in a negative ~$9 million fund balance and have required the Electric Utility to borrow from other funds to make required debt service payments on outstanding debt Electric Utility’s negative cash balance and declining debt service coverage causedS&P to lower the rating from “A‐ to “BB” – (i.e., “junk” bonds rating)Electric Utility is evaluating a one‐time emergency rate remedy the negativeElectric Utility cash balance and improve debt service coverage •Planned 2025 cost of service study will provide additional background and context and a multi‐year rate recommendations

Acquisition & Construction of Capital Assets
Financial Pressures on the Electric Utility Historically (2015‐2021), the Electric utility has been able to generate sufficient operating
revenues to cover operating expenses
 However, the last three years (2022, 2023, and
2024) there were not sufficient operating
revenues to cover operating expenses
 From 2019 to 2023, power purchase costs increased
31%
 At the same time, the Electric utility accelerated
its capital improvement program in FYEs 2021,
2022, and 2023
 Average during that 3‐year period was $10 million
per year
 Average during the prior 6‐year period was $3.5M
per year
 Net Result: Electric utility cash balances have
decreased quickly and significantly; the Electricutility is not generating sufficient revenues to cover operations, so cash balance is expected tokeep decreasing $3.5M Annual Avg $10M Annual Avg
Source: City’s AuditedFinancials & OpenGov (2024)
$11M Cash
Reserve Policy
Negative ~$9.6M balance
822
4 Financial Pressures on Other City Funds Cash in other City funds allow the Electric Utility to continue operations  Current situation with a negative cash balance is only possible because of inter‐fund loans to pay Electric Utility operating costs
 General Fund’s capacity to support the Electric Utility is limited and General Fund Balances have been decreasing
 For FYE 2023 General Fund cash was $4.5M
 $1.1M pooled cash & investments $3.5M due from other funds  Marked decrease from FYE 2018 when General Fund pooled cash was >$13 million General Fund cannot / should not continue to support the Electric Utility  Unlike the Electric Utility, Banning Utility Authority’s Water and Wastewater Funds are subject to California Proposition 218
 Utility funds cannot send cash to the Electric Utility without exposing the City to risk of legal challenge
823
5 Credit Rating Agency Actions and Concerns Rating Analysts focus on several things including cash
balances and debt service
coverage
 Negative outlook means they
intend to further downgrade
the credit rating if correctiveactions are not taken
 While S&P credit rating will
not impact the interest rates
on the outstanding 2015Bonds, a “junk” bond creditrating limits future access to capital markets and increasesthe cost of issuing debt in the future
S&P Credit Rating Actions on 2015 Bonds
September 2015 (Issuance) “A‐”/Stable
June 2022 (Rating Review) “A‐”/Stable
March 2024 (Rating Review) “BBB”/Negative
May 2024 (Rating Review) “BB”/Negative (“Junk” bonds)
Concerns Cited by S&P in May 2024 Report:• Failure to implement proper financial controls • Lack of effective risk management and oversight• Use of interfund borrowings to meet obligations • Drastic decreases in liquidity and coverage
Lack of action to raise electric rates could result in
further rating reduction
824
6 Electric Rates within Context of Other California Utilities 2023 Energy Institute at Haas study compared cost per kWh paid by non‐CARE resident households in California, assuming 500 kWh/month Average cost statewide was $0.192 per kWh; median was $0.178 per kWh Study calculated Banning’s rate at $0.1844 per kWh, to be below average Banning

customers pay
~$111/month for
the same amount of
energy
825
7 Debt Service Coverage
 Electric Utility made a covenant with bond investors in 2015 that it would raise electric rates as needed to generate net revenues at least 120% of annual debt service  Net Revenues = gross revenues ‐ operating expenses (and does not include depreciation or non‐ cash expenses)
 Failure to maintain that 120% minimum debt service coverage (DSC) ratio is considered an event of default by bond investors and will result in further reductions in the rating  Except for FY 2018, Electric Utility has historically complied with DSC requirements, but preliminary calculations for FY 2024 indicate that a DSC covenant default is likely  Promise to bond investors is that in the event of a rate covenant default, the Electric Utility will take action to remedy that default
 Failure to remedy gives the bond trustee and bond owners certain rights, including the right to make the 2015 Bonds due and payable immediately (though in practice that is uncommon for aDSC covenant default) 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024* FYE

*FYE 2024 calculation is preliminary, final calculation will be provided to bond investors once the 2024 Audit is completed 826
8 Option 1: No Emergency Rate Increase & Complete a COSS in 2025 City is in the process of engaging a rate consultant for a full‐scale electric utility cost
of service study in FYE 2025
 City is also in process of updating the Electric
Master Plan
 Doing nothing now will not “stop the
bleeding” and will result in greater stress to
other City Funds (including the General Fund)
 Other City funds would need to continue to
subsidize the Electric Utility in FY 2025
 Electric Utility cash balance go further into the
negatives (estimated ‐$9.95M by FYE 2025)
 Bond covenant default is likely, which would
likely trigger a further credit rating downgrade
NHA is not a rate consultant; these required rate increases are estimates, subject to a cost of service study
Likely Outcomes Area of Concern

Option 1: Likely Impact on Key
Areas of Concern
827
9 Option 2: Raise Rates to Cover Operations and Essential Expenditures Only 13% FY 2025 rate increase is projected to cover operations, only essential CIP, and pay existing debtservice for the next two years Assumes rate increase is effective 10/1/24 Key assumption is that expenses are equal to or less than the FY 2025 operating budget
 Electric Utility’s cash balance remains negative at FYE 2025
 Keeps the Electric Utility Fund cash balance from
decreasing further
 But no reimbursement to other funds Credit concern remains in this area  Coverage projected to comply with 120% minimum
covenant in FYEs 2025 and 2026
 Partial mitigation of credit concern in this area
 While this option “stops the bleeding” it is only a
temporary solution until the Electric Utility adopts
long‐term rate increases
NHA is not a rate consultant; these required rate increases are estimates, subject to a cost of service study

10 Option 3: Raise Rates & Revenues to Bring Fund Levels Up Over 1‐2 Years Electric Utility can raise rates to increase revenues and bring cash balances into the positive over the next two years Amount of rate increase will depend on the target balance and the length of time
 Credit Rating agency gave City a 2‐year window to improve cash  Benefits
 Electric Utility can repay other City funds Demonstrate action to rating agencies and bond investors City remains compliant with debt service coverage requirements  Downsides
 Negative cash balance condition continues to persist until balances recover slowly over next 2 years
 “Shock” rate increases may lead to higher delinquent accounts NHA is not a rate consultant; these required rate increases are estimates, subject to a cost of service study

829
11 Option 4: Raise Rates to Support a Bond which Replenishes Cash Balances Similar to Option 2, a 13% FY 2025 rate increase is projected to cover operations, essential CIP, and pay
existing debt service for the next two years
 Assumes rate increase is effective 10/1/24
 Key difference from Option 2: ~$10 million from a
bond financing would allow immediate repayment toother City funds and would bring Electric Utility cash balances into the black
 Trade off would be long‐term debt service repayments Repayments would be structured to have no debt service payments to next two years, but long‐term electric rate planning will need to account for future debt service
 Bond financing would likely be unrated due to the
Electric Utility’s current credit rating
 Would also likely would need to be taxable given IRS
limitations on using tax exempt debt to reimburse an
issuer
 Taxable debt has higher interest rates than tax exempt debt

CITY OF BANNING

STAFF REPORT
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Douglas Schulze, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Art Vela, Public Works Director
Lincoln Bogard, Administrative Services Director
MEETING DATE: September 24, 2024
SUBJECT: Discussion of the Banning Electric Utility Emergency Rate Increase Scenarios
RECOMMENDATION:

Discussion of the Banning Electric Utility Emergency Rate Increase Scenarios and provide staff with direction with which scenario to move forward with.

BACKGROUND:

On August 27, 2024, City Council received a report from staff and discussed four options for a potential Banning Electric Utility Emergency Rate In Increase, staff report attached hereto. The four options were are follows:

Option 1 Option 2 Option 3A/3B Option 4
Description No Action Maintains Services
Maintains Services
and Replenishes
Cash with Rate
Revenues
Maintains Services
and Replenishes
Cash $10M Bond
Rate Increase None 13% in FY 2025
64% in FY 2025 or
22% in FY 2025 and
22% in FY 2026
13% in FY 2025
After discussing the options above, Councilmembers selected their preferred option as follows:
- Mayor Sanchez: Option 4
- Mayor Pro Tem Minjares: Option 3B
- Councilmember Wallace: Option 3B
- Councilmember Flynn: Option 3B
- Councilmember Happe: Option 3B
As part of the discussion, Mayor Pro Tem Minjares and Councilmember Flynn requested that staff also provide a revised Option 3 to spread the increases over three years rather than two years.

Staff has evaluated and prepared the following scenarios for Council's consideration:
1 839
Scenario 3B
This scenario is very similar to the scenario shown to City Council in August and models what kind of rate increase would be required to bring the Electric Utility’s cash from negative to positive by the end of fiscal year 2026. This modeling assumes two rate increases – one in November 2024 and one in November 2025. Each of these rate increases is 22.7%. This is slightly higher than the 22% increases shown to Council in August because the analysis in August assumed that the first rate increase would be effective October 1 compared to the November 1 assumption in this update. This analysis assumes that rate increases apply equally to both the energy charge (per kWh) and the Basic Service Charge.

Of the scenarios evaluated for this report, this scenario has the greatest near-term increases.

Scenario 3C
Based on a request at the August 27th City Council meeting, this scenario evaluates the annual rate increases needed to bring the Electric Utility’s cash from negative to positive by the end of fiscal year 2027. Because this scenario assumes a longer recovery, it requires approximately 14.7% annual rate increases – one in November 2024, one in November 2025, and one in November 2026. Under this scenario, the cash balance stays negative until FY 2027. Similar to scenario 3B above, the modeling for this scenario assumes the energy charge (per kWh) and the Basic Service Charge increase with the rate increases.

Because this scenario has the slowest recovery of the Electric Utility’s cash, there is greater risk that unforeseen expenses or cost increases prevent that recovery. Additionally, there is greater risk of further downgrades in the Electric Utility’s credit rating because of this slower recovery.

Finally, due to the anticipated timing of a Cost of Service Study, it is likely that the November 2026 rate increase under this scenario will be changed to something other than 14% based on the findings of that study.

Scenario 4B
This scenario explores the strategic use of bond funding to facilitate the recovery of Electric Utility’s cash position by the end of fiscal year 2026. Unlike the bonds scenario presented to the Council in August (Scenario 4), this Scenario 4B assumes a significantly smaller amount of bond funding raised: $6 million total. That amount is split into $2.2 million raised from a tax-exempt financing and $3.8 million raised from a taxable financing. While the taxable portion is used to replenish fund balance, the tax-exempt portion of the financing is used to address the budgeted capital expenditures in FYE 2025 and 2026. While the entire financing will likely be unrated given the current “BB” credit rating, unlike a taxable interest rate (assumed to be 7%) this analysis assumes a tax-exempt interest rate of 5.5% for a 20-year financing.

Under this scenario, two 13.9% annual rate increases are needed in FY 2025 and FY 2026, followed by additional rate increases in future years to support the debt service. Preliminary modeling suggests that those rate increases beyond FY 2026 are in the 4-6% range.

Unlike Scenarios 3B and 3C above, this Scenario 4B spreads the costs of the capital expenditures and fund balance recovery over a longer period of time. However, because this scenario uses bond financing, there is the cost of long-term bond repayments – though those costs are spread out over 18- 20 years.

The table below summarizes of the key comparisons of the three scenarios for the Residential Service Rate. Please note that the projections for FY 2027 will likely change based the findings of the Cost of Service Study:
2 840

Basic Service Charge $34 $39 $41
Avg SFR Monthly Bill* $126 $143 $150
JUSTIFICATION:

The Electric Utility’s cash balance has decreased significantly in recent years due to a combination of capital spending and inflationary pressures. Over Fiscal Years 2020-21 through 2022-23, the Electric Utility spent $10 million per year on average toward capital projects. Additionally, while the Electric Utility has historically been able to generate sufficient operating revenues to cover operating expenses, in each of the last three fiscal years – 2022, 2023 and 2024 – operating expenses have been greater than operating revenues. One driver behind this is power purchase costs, which increased 31% from 2019 to 2023.

As a result, the Electric Utility’s unrestricted cash and investments balance decreased significantly from over $18 million in FY 2019 to negative $9.5 million in FY 2024. Because operating expenses have been greater than revenues in the last three years and cash balances are negative, Electric Utility has needed to borrow from other City funds, which has put significant strain on those funds.

The General Fund’s cash balance in FYE 2023 was $4.5 million after including a $3.5M amount due from other funds. This is a marked decrease from the General Fund’s pooled cash balances over $13 million in fiscal year 2018. Continued borrowing from the General Fund is not an option to support the Electric Utility. Additionally, the Banning Utility Authority’s Water and Wastewater Funds are subject to California’s Proposition 218 related to utility rates and charges and having those funds’ send cash to the Electric Utility could expose the City to the risk of a legal challenge.

The options listed above would provide relief to the current fiscal challenges faced by BEU.

CITY OF BANNING

STAFF REPORT
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Douglas Schulze, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Nate Smith, Deputy Director of Public Works/City Engineer Art Vela, Director of Public Works
MEETING DATE: October 22, 2024
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution 2024-170, Approving a Reimbursement Agreement with SFPP, L.P., a Delaware Limited Partnership, for Costs Associated with the Design and Relocation of Pipeline Facilities Owned and Operated by SFPP in Relation to the Sun Lakes Boulevard Extension Project
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution 2024-170.

BACKGROUND:

The action requested with this item is an implementing action for the continued progress of the Sun Lakes Boulevard Extension Project within the adopted City Council Capital Improvement Program.

SFPP, LP is a limited partnership that operates an oil pipeline owned by Kinder Morgan in the Project area. The pipeline is within an easement over the land the pipeline lays within, and was recorded on August 4, 1955 in book 1776, page 565 in favor of Southern Pacific Pipe Lines, and its future assignees.

This easement was granted prior to the annexation of these parcels into the City of Banning's municipal boundaries, and as such, the pipeline is not within the franchise agreement that exists between the City of Banning and Kinder Morgan for facilities throughout the rest of the City. The easement also existed prior to the dedication of right of way to the City of Banning for the roadway with Parcel Map 25541 on the 17th of September, 1990 in Map Book 166/Page 27, and then accepted by the City Council with Resolution 2020-21 on the 11th of February, 2020; meaning that Kinder Morgan holds senior easement rights over the City of Banning for this facility.

Through development of the Sun Lakes Boulevard Extension Project, the Project team has been in contact with Kinder Morgan regarding impacts and encroachment into their easement area. Those discussion resulted in the re-design of portions of the Project to minimize impacts to the facility, and understanding that the roadway design would be in conflict with Kinder Morgan design standards for their pipelines necessitating a design for the relocation of Kinder Morgan pipeline facilities. Kinder Morgan's internal policy requires that encroaching parties enter into an agreement with Kinder Morgan, where Kinder Morgan will perform the design, permitting, construction, and inspection of the work related to the pipeline relocation, where the encroaching party is responsible to pay Kinder Morgan for 100% of their incurred costs for the relocation.

The agreement has been structured to allow the City of Banning to make payments to Kinder Morgan prior to each Project phase (Phase 1 = Design, Phase 2 = Permitting, Phase 3 = Construction, Phase 4 = Inspection and Closeout). Kinder Morgan will provide an estimate at each Project phase for the anticipated complete Project cost. The estimate provided in Exhibit B of the agreement includes the 846
Phase 1 costs, and then estimates for the remaining phases prepared without the benefit of a design.

Prior to the City's payment for Phase 2 work, Kinder Morgan will provide an updated estimate with the required Phase 2 payment and estimates for Phases 3 and 4. The same would occur at Phase 3, and at Phase 4. Kinder Morgan will also provide a detail invoice of actual costs incurred to the City of Banning for review and audit throughout the Project and at the issuance of a final invoice post construction.

JUSTIFICATION:

To comply with the $13,500,000 RCTC MARA Grant received by the City of Banning, the entire Project will need to be construction ready with an initial invoice paid by June 30, 2025. Encroachment rights from the utility holders is a required item for this project. Additionally, as Kinder Morgan holds senior easement rights to the City of Banning, the City is obligated to perform work as required by Kinder Morgan and their Encroachments Divisions policies and procedures. This action is a necessary step to advance the roadway project to the construction phase.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The initial payment per Exhibit B of the Reimbursement Agreement for Phase 1 work for Engineering Design and Company Labor is $128,938, paid from the City's Street DIF Account (420-4900-431.90-10).

Expenditures from this account totaling $2,500,000 were allocated for this Project in FY26 and FY28.

Estimated Project costs, to be revised by Kinder Morgan prior to subsequent Project phases, is currently estimated at $3,711,119.

These expenses are eligible for reimbursement through the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) overseen by the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG).

ALTERNATIVES:

Do not adopt Resolution 2024-170 and provide direction to staff on how to proceed with the Sun Lakes Boulevard Extension Project.

2 budgetary estimate only, and shall not in any way constitute a limit upon the amount of the total actual cost of the Work, including overheads and taxes, incurred by SFPP, for which City shall be liable to pay hereunder. Such cost estimate is based on the costs of labor and expenses current at the time of preparation of the estimate, and is subject to revision by and at the discretion of SFPP to reflect any changes in such cost that may occur prior to the completion of the Work. Such cost estimate makes no provision of encountering unforeseen rock, water, bad weather, or any other unforeseen contingencies in connection with the Work and such contingencies will be included and accounted for in the total actual cost of the Work, for which City agrees to reimburse SFPP in full.

CITY OF BANNING

STAFF REPORT
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Douglas Schulze, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Lincoln Bogard, Administrative Services Director MEETING DATE: October 22, 2024
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution 2024-171, Approving Replacement of NeoGov Human Resources Information System (HRIS) and Related Modules with Paylocity Human Capital Management (HCM) Including Payroll, Time & Labor, Benefits, Human Resources, Talent, Employee Experience, Insights & Reporting, and Customer Service
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution 2024-171.

BACKGROUND:

On July 12, 2022, the City of Banning adopted Resolution 2022-100, approving the implementation of NeoGov for HR employee recruitment, hiring , and onboarding, in the amount of $25,000.00. On March 28, 2023, the City of Banning adopted Resolution 2023-54, approving the implementation of NeoGov HRIS, Human Resources and Payroll for Governments. On August 22, 2023, the City of Banning adopted Resolution 2023-145, approving the implementation of the NeoGov HRIS software platform and the HR employee recruitment, hiring, and onboarding modules (eForms, Governmentjobs com, Insight, and Onboard).

To date, NeoGov has had three project managers and there has been several times when the implementations have stalled. Management has had to schedule meetings with senior leaders at NeoGov on multiple occasions to have resources reassigned to our project. Staff began looking at competitors a few months ago and Paylocity was chosen as the best option for replacement of NeoGov.

JUSTIFICATION:

Paylocity is a worldwide company and guarantees compliance with laws and regulations for payroll. They have other CalPERS customers and are able to provide required quarterly reporting to CalPERS and have a prebuilt automation for that reporting. Staff was pleased with the multiple demonstrations, with the exception of recruitment, due to the fact that Governementjobs.com is a proprietary NeoGov site that many governments use for posting jobs. Management has not decided whether to cancel all NeoGov modules, or to keep just the recruitment module that offers publication on Governmentjobs.com.

Paylocity offered to provide the City with a free implementation, plus a free month of service after management shared that we have sunk costs in the NeoGov implementation. The overall cost of monthly service is about the same as NeoGov. Therefore, the existing budget is sufficient for this fiscal year.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost for the full Paylocity Human Capital Management (HCM) suite is $6,672.67 per month (after the initial free month) with a $2,500.00 one-time fee for importing historical data into the system. The first 866

Client agrees to immediately notify Paylocity of any unauthorized uses of any Client passwords or accounts or any other breach of security with respect to the Services of which it becomes aware. Paylocity will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from Client’s failure to comply with Client’s account security obligations and this Section 1.3, including as it relates to fraudulent activity occurring under the Service Credentials.

If Client wishes to add additional Affiliates per the foregoing, Client may request a new Order identifying the applicable Affiliates to be added. b.

CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PAYLOCITY IS NOT AN ACCOUNTING OR LAW FIRM AND NO SERVICES WILL BE CONSTRUED BY CLIENT AS TAX, ACCOUNTING OR LEGAL ADVICE, NOR WILL PAYLOCITY BE DEEMED A FIDUCIARY OF CLIENT. ACCORDINGLY, CLIENT UNDERSTANDS THAT IT IS CLIENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY ANY FEE OR PENALTY ASSESSED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE OR OTHER STATE OR FEDERAL REGULATORY AGENCY.

6.4 Warranty Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 6:

a. PAYLOCITY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE

IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT AS WELL AS ALL WARRANTIES ARISING BY USAGE OF TRADE, COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE; AND b. PAYLOCITY MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET THE CLIENT’S REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR FREE; NOR DOES PAYLOCITY MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICES, THE DELIVERABLES, OR THE DOCUMENTATION.

SECTION 7: INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Client Indemnification. Client will defend Paylocity and its licensors from and against any claim, action, demand, or proceeding by a third party (each a “Claim”) and will hold harmless and indemnify Paylocity against any resulting Losses, as defined below, that arise from or relate to:
(a) the actions or omissions of Client in connection with its use of the Services, including any Claims brought by any Client personnel or Authorized Users, or dependents or heirs of such Client personnel or Authorized Users, arising out of Client’s use of the Services; (b) Client’s negligence, willful misconduct, or failure to comply with applicable laws in connection with the subject matter of the Agreement, (c) a Claim alleging that the Client Data, Client Materials or Client Marks infringe or otherwise misappropriate the Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights of a third party; or (d) Client’s use of a Third-Party Service, as defined in Section 9.1 (Third-Party Services), through any integration with a Service. “Losses” means damages that are awarded by a court or fines and penalties that are assessed by a governmental entity, or amounts agreed to in settlement by the indemnifying party and associated reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

7.2 Paylocity Indemnification. Paylocity will defend and indemnify Client against a Claim alleging that the Subscription Services infringe or misappropriate such third party’s United States patent or copyright rights or misappropriate such third party’s trade secret (each an “IP Claim”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Paylocity shall have no liability under this section to the extent that an IP Claim arises from: (a) use of the Subscription Services in combination with other equipment or software or services; (b) any modification to the Subscription Services made by or on behalf of Client or any other third party; (c) Client’s failure to install any updates to or new versions of the Subscription Service provided by Paylocity; (d) use of the Subscription Services other than in the manner expressly authorized under this SA; or (e) Client Data, Client Materials or other Client content processed by the Services. If Client’s right to continue using the Subscription Services is likely to be enjoined, at Paylocity’s sole discretion, Paylocity may (i) attempt to obtain the right for Client to continue to use the infringing Subscription Service; or (ii) replace or modify the infringing Subscription Service so that it no longer infringes but functions substantially equivalently or (iii) if neither (i) or (ii) is commercially practicable, Paylocity shall have the right to terminate this SA and the rights and licenses granted hereunder upon written notice to Client and shall refund to Client any pre-paid amounts for the Subscription Service for the period following the effective date of termination.

7.3 Indemnification Procedure. The Party seeking indemnification under this Section 7 will: (a) give the indemnifying Party prompt written notice of the Claim, (b) tender to the indemnifying Party control of the defense and settlement of the Claim (provided that a settlement may not impose on the indemnified Party any costs or obligation to admit liability without its prior, written consent), and (c) cooperate with the indemnifying Party in defending or settling the Claim. The indemnified Party will have the right to participate at its own expense in any indemnification action or related settlement negotiations using counsel of its own choice at its own expense.

7.4 Sole remedy. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 7 STATE THE SOLE, EXCLUSIVE, AND ENTIRE LIABILITY OF PAYLOCITY AND CLIENT’S SOLE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY IP CLAIM.

9.1 Third-Party Services. Paylocity may provide the capability for Client to link or integrate a Service with certain third-party products or services (“Third-Party Services”) in accordance with Section 9.2 (Integration Services) or Section 9.3 (API).

SECTION 10: FUNDING FOR CERTAIN SERVICES

10.1 Obligation to Remit Funds. Client is responsible for remitting timely funds to Paylocity for the performance of certain Services, including but not limited to payroll and tax services, in accordance with the timelines set forth in 10.2 (Debited Funds) and 10.3 (Wire Transfer Funds). In connection with the use of such Services, Client acknowledges and agrees to the following:
a. For any Service including an electronic funds transfer to be made across the Automated Clearing House network (each an “ACH Transaction”), Client will be designated as the “Originator,” as defined in the National Automating Clearing House Association (“Nacha”) Operating Rules as may be amended from time to time by Nacha (the “Operating Rules”); b. Client authorizes Paylocity to initiate ACH Transactions on its behalf as directed by Client; c. Client shall comply with the Operating Rules as applicable to Originators with regard to any and all fund transfers hereunder; d. Client will not initiate an ACH Transaction that is in violation of the laws of the United States; e. Client will indemnify, defend, and hold Paylocity and each Originating Depository Financial Institution, as defined in the Operating Rules, harmless from and against any Claim arising from an act or omission of Client pursuant to this Section 10; and f. Paylocity reserves the right to conduct an annual audit to confirm Client’s compliance with the terms of this Section 10 (or more frequently based on Paylocity’s reasonable suspicion of noncompliance).

10.2 Debited Funds. For any payroll processed with total liabilities of less than $1 million, Paylocity will debit Client’s bank account for all ACH Transactions one banking day prior to the applicable payroll check date and, as a result, requires all amounts to be available for withdrawal from Client’s account at least two business days prior to the applicable payroll check date. In the event the total amount of funds is not available one banking day prior to the applicable check date: (a) Paylocity will charge Client a $100.00 fee; (b) Client must wire all outstanding funds to Paylocity’s specified bank account by 2 PM CT on the same business day of the date of notification by Paylocity of the insufficient funds; and (c) if such funds are not wired to Paylocity in accordance with the foregoing, Paylocity reserves the right to terminate the Agreement effective immediately as set forth in Section 2.2 (Termination), or suspend the Services as set forth in Section 2.4 (Suspension).

The foregoing is in addition to any other rights Paylocity may have under this Agreement or under applicable law.

10.3 Wire Transfer Funds. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.2 (Debited Funds), Client must initiate a wire transfer of funds one banking day prior to the payroll check date for any payroll processed when: (a) total payroll liabilities exceed $1 million; (b) Paylocity is not performing tax services for Client; (c) Client does not meet (or no longer meets) Paylocity’s credit standards; or (d) Client has failed to meet its funding 878

Paylocity SA, v 29, Feb 2024
obligations due to the return or rejection of an ACH Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Client processes payroll and the majority of its workforce is set up as Form 1099 contractors, Client will be required to pre-fund all payroll liabilities by wire transfer one banking day prior to the payroll check date. In the event all funds are not received by Paylocity in accordance with this Section 10.3, all payroll and tax liabilities (including, without limitation, direct deposit, and bank checks) will remain on hold and will not be processed by Paylocity until all funds have been received via a successful wire transfer.

10.4 Right to Hold Funds, Setoff. Paylocity reserves the right to hold funds resulting from a void (reversal) for six banking days to mitigate the risk of returned ACH Transactions for payroll liabilities or employee reversals. Client grants Paylocity the right to set off with any funds retained by Paylocity for purposes of remitting payments or making payments to Client employees, taxing authorities, or other third-party agencies.

Paylocity may allocate funds remitted or otherwise made available to it by Client to any amounts owed to Paylocity hereunder as Paylocity deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

10.5 Sufficient Funds. In connection with the Services subject to this Section 10, Client agrees as follows:
a. All Client-designated bank accounts will have sufficient funds to pay Client’s third-party obligationsin relation to the Services(i.e., employee payroll payments, taxes, agency, or other obligations) within the time periods set forth in this Section 10 in order to satisfy Client’s thirdparty obligations in their entirety. b. If Client fails to have sufficient funds to pay such third-party obligations including, without limitation, penalties, or other fees, then Client shall be responsible for all of Paylocity’s cost of collection of amounts due hereunder, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, and costs.
c. In the event Client fails to comply with all its funding requirements under this Section 10, Paylocity reserves the right to terminate the SA effective immediately as set forth in Section 2.2 (Termination) or suspend the Services as set forth in Section 2.4 (Suspension). This is in addition to any other rights Paylocity may have under this SA or under applicable law. Paylocity also reserves the right to reverse employee transactions and/or tax payments for which funds have not been received from Client.

SECTION 11: GOVERNING LAW; VENUE
This SA and all matters arising out of or related to the Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule of any other jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to the Agreement shall be initiated in a United States federal, or state court located in the state of Illinois, and each Party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to the Agreement.

Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section will be null and void.

12.2 Force Majeure. Neither Party will be deemed in breach hereunder for any interruption or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder (not including any payment obligations) if the interruption or delay is due to unforeseen events which are beyond the reasonable control of such Party, such as strikes, blockade, war, terrorism, riots, pandemics, or natural disasters, insofar as such an event prevents or delays the affected Party from fulfilling its obligations and such Party is not able to prevent or avoid it at a reasonable cost.

12.3 Publicity. During the Subscription Term and at all times after its termination or expiration, Client must not make any media release or other public announcement relating to or referring to the Agreement without Paylocity’s prior written consent. Client acquires no right to use, without Paylocity’s prior written consent, the terms or existence of the Agreement, the names, trademarks, service marks, or copyrighted materials of Paylocity in any advertising, publicity, press release, presentation, or promotion.

12.4 Limitation of Actions. No action arising under or in connection with this SA may be brought by Client or Paylocity more than two (2) years after such Party becomes or should reasonably have become aware of the occurrence of events giving rise to the cause of action.

12.5 Notices. Any notice or communication required or permitted under the Agreement will be in writing and sent to Client at the address set forth in the Order or to the email address set forth in the Client’s account within the Subscription Services and sent to Paylocity at Paylocity Corporation, Attn; Legal Department, 1400 American Ln, Schaumburg, IL 60173 or to [email protected].

CITY OF BANNING

STAFF REPORT
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Douglas Schulze, City Manager
PREPARED BY: David Newell, Community Development Director MEETING DATE: October 22, 2024
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution 2024-172, Denying an Appeal Filed by Two Brothers 14 Corporation of the Denial of a Business License to Operate a Tobacco Sales Retailer Located at 300 South Highland Drive #8A; and Making Findings in Support Thereof
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution 2024-172.

BACKGROUND:

The subject appeal was submitted by Artemis Law Group on behalf of the business license applicant, Two Brothers & 14 Corporations, Inc. ("Applicant"), in response to the City's denial of a business license application ("Application") seeking approval to operate a tobacco retail store, Heavy Clouds Vapes and More, within the Sun Lakes Village Shopping Center. The Application was submitted online through the City's business license portal on July 8, 2024. The Applicant was notified of an invoice on July 9, 2024.

After paying the invoice, a business license certificate ("Certificate") was issued by a City vendor administering licenses in the online portal on July 15, 2024; however, prior to this issuance, the Community Development Department ("Department") hadn't completed its review of the Application. A business license does not allow businesses to operate that are not compliant with the Municipal Code, General Plan, or any Specific Plan.

The tobacco retailer is proposed within a tenant space at 300 S. Highland Drive, which is part of the Sun Lakes Specific Plan. This Specific Plan designates this shopping center as Commercial/Office, and pursuant to the list of permissible uses in Section VI of the Specific Plan, a tobacco retailer is not identified as a permitted use in this zone. A copy of the use table is included as an attachment.

On September 19, 2024, the Applicant was notified by the Department that this business is not identified as a permitted use in the Sun Lakes Specific Plan and the Application was denied. On September 30, 2024, the appeal was filed within fifteen days of the Department's decision, pursuant to Section 5.04.170 of the Banning Municipal Code ("BMC").

JUSTIFICATION:

The City processes business license applications under Title 5 of the Municipal Code. Section 5.04.170 of this Title states, "any person aggrieved by any decision of the license collector or of any other officer of the city made pursuant to the provisions of this chapter may appeal therefrom to the Council within fifteen days...[and] the clerk shall cause the matter to be set for hearing before the council within thirty days...." In response to the Department's denial, the Applicant filed a timely appeal and the City has complied with scheduling the matter for Council consideration. In the attached letter, the Applicant lists five reasons for overturning this decision. Staff has provided a summary of these points and response 885
below.

1. Inconsistent Issuance. The applicant states that, after applying for the business license, an email was received stating a balance was due and that "any additional requirements needed for your business type must be completed prior to the issuance of your business license certificate." A subsequent email was received requesting a fire inspection and a copy of the tobacco retail license with no indication of any zoning issues. After paying the balance due, a business license certificate was issued and the issuance of this certificate, per BMC Section 5.04.110(B), indicates that the business was in the proper zone.

Staff's Response: Section 5.04.030 states that "any persons required to pay a business tax for transacting and carrying on any business under this chapter shall...remain subject to the regulatory provisions of other ordinances." Furthermore, Section 5.04.010 defines a business license certificate:
"'Certificate' means the business tax payment certificate issued to the taxpayer upon the payment of the business tax. It is not a permit to engage in business. It is the document issued upon the payment of the business tax." In this case, the Applicant is required to comply with zoning provisions, which do not allow a tobacco retailer at the proposed location. A zoning clearance was not provided at any time and the collection of a business tax does not constitute a right to forego zoning compliance and engage in business.

2.Compliance with Local Ordinances. The Applicant believes the proposed business is fully compliant with all local, state and federal regulations, and there has been no communication that would impact the Applicant's ability to operate at the proposed location. The alleged zoning issue clearly existed when the certificate was originally issued.

Staff's Response: As stated above, a zoning clearance was not provided at any time and the collection of a business tax does not constitute a right to forego zoning compliance and engage in business.

3. Financial and Operational Impact. The Applicant states that the rejection of the business license has caused significant financial strain, due to the reliance on the certificate issued by the city.

4. Improper Internal Procedure to Issue Business Certificate. The Applicant contends that even if a zoning restriction exists, the City should have verified compliance before issuing the certificate.

5. Request for Clarification. The Applicant seeks clarification of any specific concerns, requirements, documentation or adjustment to comply with City regulations, that have arisen since the certificate issuance and notes a willingness to cooperate.

Staff's Response, Items 3, 4 and 5: While understanding of the Applicant's frustration, the City is obligated to uphold the current law and ensure all businesses are property located based on municipal and zoning requirements. The proposed tobacco retail store is not identified as a permitted use at 300 S Highland Drive, based on Section VI (Permitted Land Uses) of the Sun Lakes Specific Plan. Should they wish to pursue the proposed use in the proposed location, the Applicant may seek and obtain Council's approval of an amendment to the Specific Plan to permit or conditionally permit the use in the Plan area, as provided in BMC Chapter 17.116.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None. The Applicant has paid the appeal filing fee, which cover costs associated with the appeal process.

ALTERNATIVES:

Accept the appeal and direct staff to return with a Resolution approving the business license.

BUDGETED?:

No

CONTRACT/AGREEMENT:

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BANNING, CALIFORNIA DENYING AN APPEAL FILED BY TWO BROTHERS 14 CORPORATION OF THE DENIAL OF A BUSINESS LICENSE TO OPERATE A TOBACCO SALES RETAILER LOCATED AT 300 SOUTH HIGHLAND DRIVE #8A AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF WHEREAS, the City of Banning (“Banning”) has enacted a business license requirement to raise revenue for municipal purposes under Title 5 (“Business licenses and Regulations”) of the Banning Municipal Code (“Municipal Code” or “BMC”); and WHEREAS, Section 5.04.040 of the Municipal Code makes it unlawful for any person to transact and carry on any business, trade, profession, calling or occupation in the City without first having procured a business tax certificate from the City; and WHEREAS, under Section 5.04.030 of the Municipal Code, persons required to pay the City’s business tax remain subject to the regulatory provisions of other City ordinances; and WHEREAS, under Section 5.04.110 of the Municipal Code provides that no business tax certificate shall be issued on any application if the location of the business, trade, profession or occupation is not located in the proper zone as set forth in the City’s Zoning Ordinance; and WHEREAS, the City’s Zoning Ordinance (BMC § 17.04.030), provides that no land shall be developed for any purpose which is not in conformity with any applicable Specific Plan; and WHEREAS, on July 8, 2024, Two Brothers 14 Corporations, Inc., dba Heavy Clouds Vapes and More (“Appellant”), applied for a City business tax certificate for a tobacco retail store at 300 South Highland Avenue, #8A, (“Site”) which is located within the Sun Lakes Specific Plan (“Specific Plan”); and
WHEREAS, the Specific Plan designates the Site as Commercial/Office, and Section VI(B)(1) of the Specific Plan does not identify tobacco retail as a permitted use in the Commercial/Office designation; and
WHEREAS, on July 14, 2024, a business tax certificate was issued to the Appellant in error because their application had not yet been reviewed by the City’s Community Development Department to ensure the proposed use complied with the City’s Zoning Ordinance; and WHEREAS, on September 19, 2024, the City denied the Appellant’s application for a business tax certificate because the proposed use was not allowed on the Site under the Specific Plan and therefore did not comply with the City’s Zoning Ordinance; and WHEREAS, on September 30, 2024, the Appellant filed a timely appeal of the denial of their application to the City Council in accordance with Section 5.04.170 of the Municipal Code, along with their proposed grounds for granting the appeal; and WHEREAS, on October 22, 2024, the City Council held a duly noticed hearing on the Appellant’s appeal, at which the Appellant and all other persons wishing to address the City Council on the matter were permitted to do so; and

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Banning does hereby resolve, determine, find, and order as follows:

SECTION 1. Adoption and Incorporation of Recitals. Based on the entirety of the administrative record in this matter, including all testimony and evidence presented during the public hearing referenced above, the City Council hereby finds that all facts set forth in the Recitals of this Resolution are true and correct and hereby incorporated herein.

SECTION 2. Findings on Appeal. Based on the entirety of the administrative record in this matter, including all testimony and evidence presented during the public hearing referenced above and the facts set forth in the Recitals of this Resolution, the City Council hereby finds as follows: (i) a business tax certificate cannot be issued unless the proposed business complies with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and, in this case, the Specific Plan does not permit the operation of tobacco retail store on the Site; and (ii) even if a business tax certificate was initially issued to the Appellant in error, the Appellant remains subject to all other regulatory provisions of the Municipal Code and such error does not relieve the Appellant from compliance with the Zoning Ordinance.

SECTION 3. Decision on Appeal.

The findings and decision of the City Council shall be final and conclusive.

SECTION 4. CEQA Findings. The decision to reject the appeal application is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15270, which states CEQA doesn’t apply to projects which a public agency rejects or disapproves. The City Council has reviewed the administrative record concerning the proposed actions and the proposed CEQA determination, and based on its own independent judgment, finds that the proposed actions set forth in this Resolution are not subject to, or exempt from, the requirements of CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15270.

SECTION 5. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Resolution or any part hereof is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this Resolution or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
