REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:
BROKER AGREEMENT FOR LEASING SERVICES AT THE HUB. WITH GROUND
REVIEW BROKERAGE CORPORATION, A CALIFORNIA CORPORATION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This staff report asks the City Council to authorize staff to enter into a contract with Ground Review Brokerage Corporation for leasing services at The Hub.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council:
a. Approve the Broker Agreement for Leasing of Commercial Property at The Hub. with Ground Review Brokerage Corporation, a California corporation, for professional commercial retail brokerage services.
b. Find that competitive bidding has been satisfied and pursuant to Corona Municipal Code 3.08.140(D), Purpose of Bidding is Otherwise Accomplished. Authorize the City Manager, or their designee, to execute the Agreement and any related documents necessary to implement the Agreement, in a form approved by the City Attorney.
c. Authorize the City Manager, or their designee, to issue a purchase order to Ground Review Brokerage Corporation, in the amount of $200,000. d. Authorize an appropriation in the amount of $200,000 from the Corona Mall Property Fund (FD_1130) to the Economic Development Department’s Operating Budget for estimated broker compensation in FY 2027.
e. Authorize the City Manager, or their designee, to prepare and process any budgetary adjustments, purchase orders, and change orders resulting in additional brokerage fees due to an increase in lease revenues.
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
The Hub. is a key City-owned commercial property intended to support downtown revitalization, business attraction, and community-serving retail activity. As tenant interest and leasing activity continue, the City requires specialized commercial retail brokerage support to market available spaces and assist with lease negotiations.
Ground Review Brokerage Corporation has demonstrated that it is experienced in providing commercial brokerage services, is licensed in the State of California, and is familiar with the City’s plans for The Hub. Under the Broker Agreement (Agreement), Ground Review Brokerage Corporation would provide services for designated City-owned properties listed in the Agreement (Exhibit 1), including properties located along East Sixth Street and South Main Street.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed Agreement establishes Ground Review Brokerage Corporation as the City’s broker for specified leasing services at The Hub., for a two-year term, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the Agreement.
Ground Review Brokerage Corporation’s services include maintaining market knowledge, promoting the property to prospective tenants, responding to tenant inquiries, drafting lease documents in coordination with the City Attorney, negotiating and finalizing lease agreements, and recommending rental rates based on market data. Any lease negotiated by Ground Review Brokerage Corporation must be approved by the City before it is presented to, or executed by, a prospective tenant.
Unless otherwise approved by the City, leases must include a minimum base rent of $2.50 per square foot per month and a minimum term of 60 months. The Agreement also requires use of the City’s lease template, with any deviations or additions subject to prior approval by the City’s Economic Development Director.
The Agreement protects the City’s interests by requiring Ground Review Brokerage Corporation to identify each prospective tenant in writing, and by excluding compensation for tenants already in negotiations with the City unless the City determines broker services are needed to continue and conclude the transaction. The Agreement also includes
standard municipal provisions regarding insurance, indemnification, conflicts of interest, confidentiality, licensing, termination, and Government Code claims procedures.
The Agreement may be terminated by the City without cause upon seven business days’ written notice. Following termination, Ground Review Brokerage Corporation may be entitled to compensation only for certain registered prospective tenants who have executed a City-approved letter of intent and entered into a lease within 180 days after the expiration or termination of the Agreement.
Ground Review Brokerage Corporation has been a part of the development of the concept and design for The Hub. since its acquisition by the City. The firm brings a unique set of qualifications and extensive experience in creative leasing and tenant curation.
Basis for Determination of Competitive Bidding
The Corona Municipal Code 3.08.140(D), Purpose of Bidding is Otherwise Accomplished, states, “When the purchasing agent and the authorized contracting party, with the approval of the City Manager, determine that it is in the best interest of the City and it's administrative operations to dispense with public bidding for non-public projects…” Ground Review Brokerage Corporation’s established knowledge of the project allows the City to move efficiently into active leasing without the delays that would occur if the City initiated a new solicitation process. Promptly beginning the leasing program is critical to activating The Hub., generating rental revenue, and supporting the City’s broader economic development strategy. A competitive bid process would extend the project timeline, delay tenant acquisition efforts, and risk misalignment with the City's curated leasing approach, as developed over the past several years.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Broker compensation is performance-based and applies only to leases tied to the Agreement and executed by the tenant and the City.
The commission structure is calculated based on annual base rent as follows:
6% of annual base rent for years one through five;
4% of annual base rent for years six through ten; and 2% of annual base rent for the balance of the lease term.
For the initial lease term, broker compensation is paid in installments: fifty percent within thirty days of mutual lease execution, and the remaining fifty percent when the tenant opens for business. If a lease is terminated early, the Agreement requires Ground Review Brokerage Corporation to provide the City with a credit for unearned compensation for the remaining portion of the lease term, subject to the terms of the Agreement.
The suites associated with this Agreement total 62,321 square feet. Based on a minimum lease rate of $2.50 per square foot, projected annual lease revenue is approximately $1,869,630, once all suites are fully occupied. Broker compensation, calculated at 6%, is estimated at $112,178 for this base rental rate. However, to date, negotiated rents are
substantially higher than the minimum, therefore, the initial requested appropriation is $200,000 to cover current and future tenants. Approval of the recommended actions will authorize an appropriation of $200,000 from the Corona Mall Property Fund (FD_1130) to the Economic Development Department’s Operating Budget to fund estimated broker compensation in FY 2027.
There is no upfront payment due upon approval of the Agreement. Compensation will be tied to successful leasing activity and funded through property-generated lease revenues.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which state that project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.
Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action is to approve a Broker Agreement with Ground Review Brokerage Corporation, and there is no possibility that approval of the recommended actions will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

Sales; (d) sales of fixtures, machinery and equipment, which are not stock in trade, after use thereof in the conduct of Tenant's business; and (e) amounts which are separately stated and collected from customers and which are paid by Tenant to any government for any sales or excise tax.

D. Monthly Statements and Payments. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord all of the following within twenty (20) calendar days after the end of each calendar month during the Term: (a) a complete statement, certified by Tenant (or an authorized officer thereof if Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company or other business entity), of the amount of Gross Sales made from the Leased Premises during said month, which statement shall be in such form and style and contain such details and breakdown as Landlord may reasonably require; (b) a copy of any sales tax reports filed with any taxing authority; and (c) a payment for Percentage Rent in the amount specified in this Section.

If any installment of Rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within five (5) calendar days after it becomes due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum of five percent (5%) of the overdue Rent as a late charge. The Parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant.

Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, as additional rent, Tenant’ Share of one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses each month of the subject calendar year based upon the total amount set forth in the Estimated Statement, until such time as Landlord issues either a revised Estimated Statement or the Estimated Statement for the succeeding calendar year. If at any time during the Term of this Agreement, but not more often than quarterly, Landlord reasonably determines that the Operating Expenses for the current calendar year will be greater than the amount set forth in the then current Estimated Statement, Landlord may issue a revised Estimated Statement and Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the revised Estimated Statement, the difference between the amount owed by Tenant under such revised Estimated Statement and the amount owed by Tenant under the original Estimated Statement for the portion of the then current calendar year which has expired.

Any delay or failure by Landlord in delivering any Estimated Statement or Reconciliation Statement pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to receive Tenant’s payment of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses nor will it relieve Tenant of its obligations pursuant to this Section 3.5, except that Tenant will not be obligated to make any payments based on such Estimated Statement or Reconciliation Statement until thirty (30) days after receipt of such Estimated Statement or Reconciliation Statement. If the Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Leased Premises when the Reconciliation Statement is prepared and delivered, Tenant and Landlord shall fulfill their obligations under Section 3.5.3 of this Agreement and such obligations will be a continuing one which will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Operating Expenses included in a particular Expense Pool shall be charged only to those tenants benefiting from the areas, services, amenities, or facilities covered by that Expense Pool and shall not be included in the Operating Expenses charged to tenants that do not benefit from the areas, services, amenities, or facilities covered by that Expense Pool. Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses with respect to any Expense Pool in which Tenant is included shall reflect Tenant’s proportionate use of, or benefit from, the areas, services, amenities, or facilities allocated to that Expense Pool, as reasonably determined by Landlord.

This is a requirement for a full and complete opening, by which Tenant provides all of its goods and services authorized under Section 3.8.1 for all of the days and hours required by Section 3.8.3, as opposed to a limited or “soft” opening.

Premises shall be damaged by fire or other catastrophic cause, so as to render such portion of the Leased Premises untenable, the obligations under this Agreement may be suspended while such portion of the Leased Premises remains untenable. In the event of such damage, Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such untenable conditions and the Landlord shall elect in its sole discretion, whether to repair the Leased Premises or to cancel this Agreement with respect thereto.

Act or under any other insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization act and, in the event any such proceedings are involuntary, Tenant is not discharged from the same within thirty (30) days thereafter.

3.20.2 Landlord Remedies. If any default by Tenant shall occur, and following notice of default as required by this Agreement (for the period applicable to the default under the applicable provision of this Agreement), Landlord shall have the following remedies in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law or equity, to which Landlord may resort cumulatively or in the alternative:
A. Termination. Terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Agreement shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession to Landlord. In such event, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant: (i) the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under Agreement or which the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including but not limited to the cost of recovering possession of the Leased Premises, expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation and alternation of the Leased Premises, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and that portion of any leasing commission paid by Landlord in connection with this Agreement applicable to the unexpired term of this Agreement. The worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in provision (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of the District within which the Leased Premises are located at the time of award plus one percent. Efforts by Landlord to mitigate damages caused by Tenant’s Breach of this Agreement shall not waive Landlord’s right to recover damages under any other Section of this Agreement.
B. Re-entry. In the event of the vacation or abandonment of the Leased Premises by Tenant, or in the event that Landlord shall elect to reenter as provided herein or shall take possession of the Leased Premises pursuant to legal proceeding or pursuant to any notice provided by law, then Landlord shall have the remedy specified by Civil Code Section 1951.4, in which Landlord may from time to time recover all rental as it becomes due or relet the Leased Premises or any part thereof for the account of Tenant on such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem Docusign Envelope ID: 321282E5-FAF8-891C-81CD-5CC8DA3528E0
45 of 76
JAMIER\02000.50211\10319430.16
advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises. In the event that Landlord shall elect so to relet, then rent received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied first, to the payment of any indebtedness, other than Rent due hereunder, owed by Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any cost (including commissions) of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Leased Premises; fourth, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. 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 the Rent payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord upon demand. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as ascertained, any and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the rent received from such reletting. No reentry or taking possession of the Leased Premises by Landlord pursuant to this section shall be construed as an election to terminate this Agreement unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction C. All Other Remedies. Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available under the law or judicial decisions of the State of California. The expiration or termination of this Agreement and/or the termination of the Tenant’s right to possession shall not relieve Tenant from liability under any indemnity provisions of this Agreement as to matters occurring or accruing during the term hereof or by reason of Tenant’s occupancy of the Leased Premises.
3.20.2 Breach by Landlord. Tenant may terminate this Agreement upon Landlord's breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement and Landlord's failure to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the Tenant or, if such cure cannot be completed within thirty (30) days, Landlord's failure to commence such cure within thirty (30) days after its receipt of written notice and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion.
3.21 Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflicts of laws principles. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in the County of Riverside, California, regardless of the order of the signatures of the Parties affixed hereto.

Tenant consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue in federal or state court located within or for the County of Riverside, California and hereby waives any defenses or objections thereto including defenses based on the doctrine of forum non conveniens.
3.22 Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of a nondefaulting Party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.
Landlord's consent or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord's consent to or approval of any subsequent act of Tenant. Any waiver by any 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.

A. Exhaust System. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, prior to the commencement of the Term and at all times thereafter during the Term, provide the necessary exhaust fans and systems, ductwork and venting to ensure that all smoke, odors, vapors and steam are exhausted from the Leased Premises. Such systems shall be, installed so as to prevent the discharge of smoke, odors, vapors and steam into the common areas of the Property or into spaces leased to others and to avoid the likelihood that such smoke, odors, vapors and steam will be directed to or carried to the common areas of the Property or into spaces leased by others. No exhaust vents, flues, pipes or other outlets shall be installed through the walls, floor or ceiling of the Leased Premises or through any portion of the Property without the written consent of Landlord as to the location, construction and appearance thereof. Landlord may require that Tenant's exhaust system(s) be connected to pipes, stacks, flues, vents or other facilities located outside the Leased Premises and intended for use by Tenant and other food preparation facilities in the Property. In such event, Tenant shall provide the necessary pipes, vents, ductwork and other facilities to connect Tenant's exhaust system thereto. Landlord shall not, by its approval of the location, construction or appearance of any of Tenant's exhaust system or facilities in the Leased Premises or elsewhere in the Property, be deemed to have represented that such systems are adequate or that the same comply with any applicable law, ordinance or regulation, nor shall such approval be deemed a waiver by Landlord of the right to require that Tenant modify such systems or facilities or add other or additional such systems or facilities in order to prevent the discharge of smoke, odors, vapors and steam into the common areas of the Property or into spaces leased to others or to avoid the likelihood that such smoke, odors, vapors and steam will be directed to or carried to the common areas of the Property or into spaces leased to others. Tenant's exhaust or venting systems shall include fire prevention and/or extinguishment facilities or systems as may be reasonably required from time to time in view of Tenant's methods and volume of cooking and other food and beverage preparation. This shall be in addition to any sprinkler or other fire protection facilities installed in the Leased Premises. Tenant shall maintain in good working order and condition and in accordance with the rules and regulations of all appropriate insurers, all fire extinguishing systems in the Leased Premises. Tenant shall regularly and adequately clean or provide for the cleaning of all exhaust and venting systems serving the Leased Premises (whether located in or outside of the Leased Premises). This cleaning shall include degreasing of all hoods, fans, vents, pipes, flues, grease traps and other areas of such systems subject to grease buildup. Tenant shall provide to Landlord, upon demand, reasonable proof that Tenant is doing such cleaning and degreasing or causing such cleaning and degreasing to be done, and all contractors used by Tenant for such cleaning must be approved by Landlord. In the event that Tenant shall refuse or fail to clean and degrease such systems or to arrange for the cleaning and degreasing of such systems, then Landlord may arrange for the cleaning and degreasing thereof, and Tenant shall pay the entire cost thereof plus an administrative charge equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the cost thereof. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage that may accrue to Tenant's stock in trade or business by reason thereof, including but not limited to any loss of revenues resulting from any required limitation or cessation of Tenant's business while such cleaning is performed or as a result thereof. Landlord's performance of such cleaning and Docusign Envelope ID: 321282E5-FAF8-891C-81CD-5CC8DA3528E0

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, engage professional reputable exterminators to service the Leased Premises, including but not limited to all food preparation and food storage areas, on a monthly basis (or at such greater frequency as Landlord may reasonably require) and to the extent necessary to safely keep the Leased Premises free of insects, rodents, vermin and other pests and to prevent insects, rodents, vermin and other pests from the Leased Premises infesting spaces leased to others or the common areas of the Property. Tenant shall provide to Landlord, upon demand, reasonable proof that Tenant is causing such exterminating to be regularly performed. In the event that Tenant shall refuse or fail to have such exterminating regularly performed, then Landlord may arrange for such work to be done and Tenant shall pay the entire cost thereof plus an administrative charge equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the cost thereof. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage that may accrue to Tenant's stock in trade or business by reason thereof, including but not limited to any loss of revenues resulting from any required limitation or cessation of Tenant's business while such extermination is performed or as a result thereof. Landlord's arranging for such extermination shall not release Tenant from Tenant's obligations hereunder nor shall the same be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of Tenant's default for the failure to have such extermination performed.
C. Waste Liquids. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, provide the necessary piping, connections, grease traps, catch basins and other facilities for the removal of all waste liquids from the Leased Premises in compliance with all applicable codes and ordinances of the City of Corona and other governmental authorities having jurisdiction. Landlord may require that Tenant's waste liquid removal equipment, including, but not limited to, ejector pumps. Such facilities shall be connected to the sewers and mains provided by Landlord, and they shall be constructed so as to prevent the backing up or discharge of any such waste liquids into the Leased Premises or into spaces leased to others or into the Common Areas of the Property. No pipes, connections, grease traps, catch basins or other facilities shall be installed through the walls, floor or ceiling of the Leased Premises or through any portion of the Property without the written consent of Landlord as to the location and construction thereof.

In such event, Tenant shall provide the necessary pipes, connections and other facilities to connect Tenant's facilities thereto. Landlord shall not, by its approval of the location or construction of any Tenant's waste liquid disposal facilities in the Leased Premises or elsewhere on the Property, be deemed to have represented that such facilities are adequate or that the same comply with any applicable law, ordinance or regulation, nor shall such approval be deemed a waiver by Landlord of the right to require that Tenant modify such facilities or add other or additional facilities to provide adequate waste liquid removal capacity for Tenant's use of the Leased Premises or in order to prevent the discharge of such waste liquids or odors therefrom into the Leased Premises or into spaces leased to others or into the Common Areas of the Property. Tenant shall not dispose of waste grease, oil or other materials which tend to cause clogging or blockage of pipes and drains (hereinafter collectively referred to as "grease") by pouring or permitting the same to flow into any drains or pipes. In the event that Tenant shall do so, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the entire Docusign Envelope ID: 321282E5-FAF8-891C-81CD-5CC8DA3528E0

cost of cleaning of all drains, pipes, sewers or other waste liquid disposal facilities damaged thereby plus an administrative charge equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the cost thereof. For this purpose, the term "cleaning" shall be deemed to include the replacement of all or any portion of the waste liquid disposal facilities necessitated by Tenant's improper disposal of grease. Tenant shall regularly and adequately clean or provide for the cleaning of all grease traps, catch basins and similar facilities serving the Leased Premises (whether located in or outside of the Leased Premises). Tenant shall not use any chemicals or other cleaning methods which could damage the drainpipes or other portions of the drainage and/or sewer system in the Leased Premises or the Property or serving the Property. Tenant shall provide to Landlord, upon demand, reasonable proof that Tenant is regularly doing such cleaning or causing it to be done. In the event that Tenant shall refuse or fail to regularly clean or arrange for the regular cleaning of such facilities, then Landlord may arrange for the cleaning thereof, and Tenant shall pay the entire cost thereof plus an administrative charge equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the cost thereof. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage that may accrue to Tenant's stock in trade or business by reason thereof, including but not limited to any loss of revenues resulting from any required limitation or cessation of Tenant's business while such cleaning is performed or as a result thereof. Landlord's performance of such cleaning work shall not release Tenant from Tenant's obligations hereunder nor shall the same be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of Tenant's default for the failure to perform such cleaning. In the event the pipes, grease traps, catch basins or other facilities used by Tenant are located outside the Leased Premises and are also used by other food preparation facilities in the Property, the cost for the cleaning thereof shall be shared between Tenant and such other users, and, in the event Landlord arranges for such cleaning, Tenant shall pay Tenant's pro rata portion of the cost thereof plus the administrative charge as set forth above.
D. Wet Garbage. Tenant shall be responsible for wrapping, covering and otherwise securing wet garbage and transporting such garbage to any wet garbage holding area designated by Landlord either before or after normal business hours of the Property (except that small quantities of garbage may be hand-carried to the garbage area in "non-rush" business hours, as reasonably determined by Landlord). Tenant shall be responsible for repairing and paying for any damage to walls or other parts of the Property caused in transporting garbage and shall promptly clean up any spilled refuse.
E. Security. Landlord may impose upon Tenant, and Tenant will observe, any necessary and reasonable additional or special security requirements established by Landlord with regard to ingress and egress to and from the Leased Premises and Property by customers and employees.

G. Deliveries. Because of the unique nature of Tenant's business, Tenant further agrees that:
1. It will not permit any deliveries of goods or merchandise at any time when Tenant's employees are not available to receive them:
2. It will not permit any goods or merchandise to remain in, on or near any doorways, loading docks, receiving areas or other portions of the Property (including, but not limited to, the retail concourse); any goods or merchandise remaining in such areas shall be deemed to be trash and may be disposed of by Landlord in such manner as Landlord may deem advisable and without liability to Tenant thereof;

I. Removal of Garbage. Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, for daily removal from the Leased Premises and Property of all garbage and refuse generated by operation of Tenant's business, which removal shall be conducted in a clean and sanitary manner. In no event at any time shall Tenant leave or store any such refuse in the corridors of the Property or outside the Property or Leased Premises. Landlord shall have the right to specify the times and manner in which Tenant removes such garbage. If, in Landlord's sole judgment, Tenant is not adequately complying with this subsection, Landlord shall have the right, but, not the obligation, to remove such garbage and charge Tenant for any and all expenses incurred in so doing, plus an administrative charge equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the cost of the charge thereof for so doing. All contractors hired by Tenant to remove such garbage must be approved by Landlord.

REQUIREMENTS FOR

If Landlord shall permit Tenant to construct any Alterations in the Leased Premises or to have any work performed in the Leased Premises at any time prior to or during the Agreement Term by a contractor retained by Tenant, then Tenant shall comply with the requirements set forth herein.
All Alterations to the Leased Premises, excepting movable furniture and trade fixtures, shall, at Landlord's option, become a part of the realty and belong to Landlord.
1. Delivery of Base Building, Building Systems and Leased Premises. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant the Leased Premises in the condition specified in Section 3.9.1 of the Agreement. Landlord’s delivery of the Leased Premises to Tenant, and Tenant’s acceptance of the Leased Premises from Landlord, shall be in the Leased Premises’ then existing, “as-is” condition. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the Leased Premises or its suitability for the conduct of Tenant’s business.
2. Alterations. All of the Alterations shall be constructed by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement and the requirements set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all Alterations shall be completed by no later than the Opening Deadline specified in Section 3.8.2 of the Agreement. Except as may otherwise be specified in the Agreement, Landlord shall not be required to construct any further improvements in the Leased Premises or contribute any funds for the improvement of the Leased Premises.
3. Plans and Specifications.
A. Construction Drawings. As soon as possible after Agreement execution, Tenant shall prepare and deliver to Landlord a rough sketch of the Leased Premises showing the proposed tenant improvements; the sketch need not be professionally prepared, but shall contain sufficient detail to allow Landlord to know where to install utility hook-up points for the Leased Premises. Thereafter, Tenant shall retain an architect (“Architect”) selected by Tenant but reasonably acceptable to Landlord to prepare the initial plans and working drawings relative to the Alterations. Tenant shall retain the engineering consultants designated by Landlord (“Engineers”) to prepare all engineering plans and working drawings relating to those aspects of the Alterations which will affect the structural components of any building on the Property. The plans and drawings to be prepared by Architect and the Engineers hereunder shall be known collectively as the “Construction Drawings.” All Construction Drawings shall comply with the drawing format and specifications determined by Landlord, and shall be subject to Landlord’s approval. Tenant and Architect shall verify, in the field, the dimensions and condition of the Leased Premises; Tenant and Architect shall be solely responsible for the same, and Landlord shall have no responsibility in connection therewith. Landlord’s review of the Construction Drawings as set forth in this Section 3 shall be for its sole purpose and shall not imply that Landlord, in its proprietary Docusign Envelope ID: 321282E5-FAF8-891C-81CD-5CC8DA3528E0

capacity, will or is obligated to review the Construction Drawings for quality, design, compliance with the City of Corona Building Code and/or other like matters. Accordingly, notwithstanding that any Construction Drawings are reviewed by Landlord or its space planner, architect, engineers and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord’s space planner, architect, engineers, and consultants, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained in the Construction Drawings. Any waivers by Tenant of Landlord’s liability which may be set forth in the Agreement shall specifically apply to the Construction Drawings.
B. Final Space Plan. Tenant shall supply Landlord with four (4) copies signed by Tenant of its final space plan (“Final Space Plan”) for the Leased Premises before any architectural working drawings or engineering drawings have been commenced. The Final Space Plan shall be based on the floor plan depicting the Leased Premises attached provided by Landlord, and shall include a layout and designation of all rooms and other partitioning, their intended use, and equipment to be contained therein. Landlord may request clarification or more specific drawings for special use items not included in the Final Space Plan. Landlord shall advise Tenant within five (5) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Final Space Plan for the Leased Premises if the same is unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect. If Tenant is so advised, Tenant shall promptly cause the Final Space Plan to be revised to correct any deficiencies or other matters Landlord may reasonably require.
C. Final Working Drawings. After the Final Space Plan has been approved by Landlord, Tenant shall supply the Engineers with a complete listing of standard and nonstandard equipment and specifications, including, without limitation, B.T.U. calculations, electrical requirements and special electrical receptacle requirements for the Leased Premises, to enable the Engineers and the Architect to complete the Final Working Drawings (as that term is defined below) in the manner as set forth below. Upon the approval of the Final Space Plan by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall promptly cause the Architect and the Engineers to complete the architectural and engineering drawings for the Leased Premises, and Architect shall compile a fully coordinated set of architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing working drawings in a form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work and to obtain all applicable permits (collectively, “Final Working Drawings”) and shall submit the same to Landlord for Landlord’s approval. Tenant shall supply Landlord with four (4) copies signed by Tenant of such Final Working Drawings. Landlord shall advise Tenant within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Final Working Drawings for the Leased Premises if the same is unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect. If Tenant is so advised, Tenant shall immediately revise the Final Working Drawings in accordance with such review and any disapproval of Landlord in connection therewith.
D. Approved Working Drawings. The Final Working Drawings shall be approved by Landlord (“Approved Working Drawings”) prior to the commencement of construction of the Leased Premises by Tenant. After approval by Landlord of the Final Working Drawings, Tenant may submit the same to the City of Corona, in its regulatory capacity for all applicable building permits. Tenant hereby agrees that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s consultants shall be responsible for obtaining any building permit or certificate of occupancy for the Leased Premises and that obtaining the same shall be Tenant’s responsibility; provided, however, that Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in executing permit applications and performing other Docusign Envelope ID: 321282E5-FAF8-891C-81CD-5CC8DA3528E0

Any Contractor proposed by Tenant must be bondable, must contain the appropriate Class A (general engineering contractor), Class B (general building contractor) or Class C (specialty contractor) license needed to perform the work in question, and in Landlords’ opinion must be capable of performing quality workmanship.

B. Selection of Subcontractors (Tenant’s Agents). All subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers used by Tenant (who, together with the Contractor, are collectively referred to herein as “Tenant’s Agents”) must be approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Landlord does not approve any of Tenant’s proposed subcontractors, laborers, materialmen or suppliers, Tenant shall submit other proposed subcontractors, laborers, materialmen or suppliers for Landlord’s written approval.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall retain subcontractors designated by Landlord in connection with any structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing or heating, air–conditioning or ventilation work to be performed in the Leased Premises.
C. Construction Contract. Prior to Tenant’s execution of the construction contract and general conditions with Contractor (“Contract”), Tenant shall submit the Contract to Landlord for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
D. Cost Budget. Prior to the commencement of the construction of the Alterations, and after Tenant has accepted all bids for the Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a detailed breakdown, by trade, of the final costs to be incurred or which have been incurred in connection with the design and construction of the Alterations to be performed by or at the direction of Tenant or the Contractor, which costs form a basis for the amount of the Contract ( “Final Costs”).

S. Inspection by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to inspect the Alterations at all times, provided however, that Landlord’s failure to inspect the Alterations shall in no event constitute a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights hereunder nor shall Landlord’s inspection of the Alterations constitute Landlord’s approval of the same.

Any defects or deviations in, and/or disapproval by Landlord of, the Alterations shall be rectified by Tenant at no expense to Landlord.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:
ESTABLISH PUBLIC SAFETY TECHNOLOGY OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE PROJECT USING REMAINING FUNDS FROM EMERGENCY 911 PHONE SYSTEM
REPLACEMENT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This staff report asks the City Council to approve the reallocation of $494,372 from the Emergency 911 Phone System Replacement, Capital Improvement Project No.
TC‑ 2016‑ 01 to a newly established Public Safety Technology Operating and Maintenance Project, while retaining $166,560 within TC‑ 2016‑ 01 to cover ongoing contractual obligations.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council approve the reallocation of $494,372 from the Emergency 911 Phone System Replacement, Capital Improvement Project No. TC-2016-01 to a newly created Operating and Maintenance Project, titled Public Safety Technology within the General Fund (FD_1110) and Measure X Fund (FD_1120).
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
The City of Corona has a longstanding commitment to maintaining robust public safety communications and technology infrastructure to support emergency response, law enforcement, and community services. Historically, the City has utilized a dedicated
Emergency 911 Phone System Replacement Capital Improvement Project (CIP) to supplement the replacement and maintenance of its 911 phone system and related dispatch technology. The original intent of the 911 Phone System Replacement CIP was to supplement state funding so the City’s Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) could reliably receive and process emergency calls, in compliance with state and federal requirements for emergency communications systems. Over time, this project has supported the acquisition of new equipment, system upgrades, and ongoing maintenance to keep pace with evolving technology standards and operational needs within the Police Department and other public safety agencies.
Over the past several years, the funding and management framework of California’s 911 system has undergone notable changes. The California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) has led a statewide effort to transition from legacy analog systems to Next Generation 911 (NG-911), adopting digital, IP-based platforms. This initiative aims to improve interoperability, optimize call routing, and introduce advanced features such as text-to-911 and multimedia communication capabilities. Within this program, CalOES and its contracted vendors oversee the funding, maintenance, and modernization of local 911 systems, using revenues from the State Emergency Telephone Number Account (SETNA) along with other state resources. Their responsibilities include reimbursing vendors for eligible maintenance expenses and establishing extended maintenance agreements throughout the transition phase.
CalOES has temporarily suspended the NG‑ 911 transition process to facilitate the selection of a single vendor. Upon resumption, the chosen vendor will be funded by state resources and tasked with providing all necessary equipment and labor for the NG-911 project. Local PSAPs will remain responsible for maintaining local infrastructure, including cabling and equipment rooms.
ANALYSIS:
Because of the changes by CalOES to NG911, Capital Improvement Project No.
TC‑ 2016‑ 01 is no longer be required. Reallocating the project’s remaining balance is to a new Public Safety Technology Operating and Maintenance Project will help the Corona Police Department enhance responsiveness and efficiency. Investing in updated technology for dispatch, records management, and AI tools aims to boost officer response times, data accuracy, and public safety.
These funds will be used to modernize law enforcement and communication infrastructure and improve services for residents. The project will support technology enhancements— including expanded community access, improved workflows, reduced administrative burden, and better data management. Projects may involve new digital platforms, the integration of AI solutions for reporting, and upgraded communication systems, further strengthening efficiency and promoting accountable public safety. This project allows for flexible adoption of innovative technologies and strategic resource utilization as operational needs change.
This action directly supports the City of Corona's Strategic Plan 2021–2026, Goal 4: Safe Community, which carries the overarching mission to "protect our quality of life by ensuring the community is safe and clean." Under this goal, the City identified improving public safety services and emergency response, specifically, improving response times as a primary objective. One key approach to reaching this goal is using technology to support dependable emergency response services. This project demonstrates the City’s commitment to advancing its technology infrastructure for public safety and municipal efficiency. This strategy aligns with evolving state-level support for emergency communications and enables the City to address new challenges and opportunities in the technology sector while ensuring compliance with all applicable legal and policy requirements.
The proposed reallocation of the remaining Emergency 911 Phone System Replacement, Capital Improvement Project funds to the Public Safety Technology, Operating and Maintenance
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
With CalOES funding and the maintenance of the City's 911 system and the NG-911 transition, the majority of the remaining balance in the Emergency 911 Phone System Replacement, Capital Improvement Project No. TC-2016-01 is available for reallocation.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL FISCAL YEAR 2027 CANNABIS TAX FUND GRANT
PROGRAM
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This staff report asks the City Council to accept and appropriate the State of California Department of California Highway Patrol Fiscal Year 2027 Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program funds in the amount of $75,614.40. This program was established through the passage of Proposition 64 in 2016, which mandated that the state set aside funding for the California Highway Patrol to provide grants to local government and qualified nonprofit organizations for the education, prevention, and enforcement of laws related to driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs, including cannabis.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council:
a. Adopt Resolution No. 2026-086 to accept and appropriate $75,614.40 from the State of California and approve the application for Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program grant funds.
b. Authorize an appropriation in the amount of $75,614.40 from the Grants General Fund (FD_1111) and an estimated revenue increase by the same amount to be
reimbursed from the State of California Department of California Highway Patrol Cannabis Tax Fund Law Enforcement Grant Fiscal Year 2027. c. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the grant documents and any related documents, amendments, and agreements that are consistent with or in furtherance of the City Council’s actions hereunder.
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
The Department of California Highway Patrol established the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program (CTFGP) through the passage of Proposition 64 in 2016, also known as the Control, Regulate, and Tax Adult Use Marijuana Act. California voters mandated the State set aside funding for the California Highway Patrol to provide grants to local government and qualified non-profit organizations for the education, prevention, and enforcement of laws related to driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs, including cannabis.
CTFGP intends to educate the public regarding the dangers of impaired driving, enforce impaired driving laws on the roadway, and improve the agency’s effectiveness through training and developing new strategies.
For the Fiscal Year 2027, approximately $13 million in grant funding was available to California law enforcement agencies to address impaired driving within their communities.
The Corona Police Department applied for the grant opportunity in February 2026 for Fiscal Year 2027 and received notification from the Department of California Highway Patrol on June 30, 2026, that the grant had been awarded, with a start date of July 1, 2026.
ANALYSIS:
The Corona Police Department will utilize the funding to reduce impaired driving and injuries from crashes resulting from driving under the influence (DUI) through education and direct enforcement. The enforcement will include conducting 60 saturation patrols strategically deployed based on data analysis and during peak risk times. These patrols will consist of one or two officers per vehicle, operating for shifts lasting between four to seven hours (with a target of six hours per shift). The goal of these DUI saturation patrols is to reduce DUI accidents and related injuries from DUI accidents by 10% over the fiscal year.
The grant project performance period will be from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027.
The one-time award will reimburse the City of Corona for designated personnel expenditures. All program operations will be conducted using staff overtime and supplement police crime prevention activities.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of the recommended actions will result in an appropriation and estimated revenue increase of $75,614.40 in the Grants General Fund (FD_1111) in Fiscal Year 2027. This grant has no cost share matching requirements.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action authorizes the acceptance and appropriation of a grant, and there is no possibility this will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBJECT:
UPDATE ON DECLARATION OF EMERGENCY AND AUTHORIZATION FOR
CONTRACTED EMERGENCY WATER LINE AND REMEDIATION REPAIRS AT
CORONA POLICE DEPARTMENT HEADQUARTERS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This staff report provides the City Council with the first required update on the emergency water line and remediation repairs at the Corona Police Department Headquarters.
Restoration work continues to progress on schedule, with the majority of drywall, painting, and interior finish work complete. Remaining work includes flooring installation, cabinet installation, final finish work, and restoration of affected workspaces. Staff anticipates all emergency repair work will be completed by August 7, 2026.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council:
a. Receive and file the update regarding the emergency water line and remediation repairs at the Corona Police Department Headquarters.
b. Make a determination that there remains a need to continue the emergency work without the benefit of competitive bidding pursuant to California Public Contract Code Section 22050 and Corona Municipal Code Section 3.08.130(A).
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
On April 28, 2026, a failed steel-braided water supply line serving the upstairs kitchenette caused significant flooding within the Corona Police Department Headquarters. The incident resulted in water damage to multiple areas of the facility and required immediate emergency response to protect City assets and maintain operations within the City's primary public safety facility.
Emergency mitigation efforts included water extraction, deployment of drying equipment, environmental testing, mold remediation, demolition of damaged materials, and development of a comprehensive restoration plan. On July 1, 2026, the City Council declared a public emergency to address the full extent of the damage and prevent further deterioration of the facility. Belfor Property Restoration was retained to perform the remediation and reconstruction work necessary to return the facility to its pre-loss condition.
ANALYSIS:
Restoration efforts at the Corona Police Department Headquarters continue to progress on schedule and are nearing completion. Drywall installation and painting were completed on both levels of the building, and the upstairs carpeting was professionally cleaned.
Belfor completed the remaining flooring installation in six phases to minimize disruptions to Police Department operations and installed cabinets on both the first and second floors.
Following completion of the flooring and cabinetry work, Belfor began installing the remaining rubber base, performing final paint and finish touch-ups, and returning furniture, equipment, and other contents to their original locations.
The Community Services Department is actively working with the Purchasing Department to finalize and execute the agreement and issue the associated purchase order for the restoration work. Staff also continues to coordinate closely with Belfor and the City's insurance carrier to ensure all project documentation is complete, eligible costs are captured for reimbursement, and the remaining work is completed in accordance with the approved scope. Based on the current progress, staff anticipates that all emergency remediation and restoration work will be completed by August 7, 2026, allowing the Police Department Headquarters to be fully restored to its pre-loss condition.
BASIS FOR CONTINUINING EMERGENCY ACTION:
An exception to competitive bidding was warranted for this action pursuant to Corona Municipal Code (CMC) Section 3.08.130(A) which states as follows:
(A) Emergencies. In situations determined by the City Manager to constitute an emergency for a public project pursuant to § 22035 of the Act and Cal. Public Contract Code § 22050. The City Council hereby delegates to the City Manager the power to declare a public emergency and take any directly related and immediate action required by the emergency, up to a total of $500,000, pursuant to § 22035 of the Act and Cal. Public Contract Code § 22050. Emergency expenditures of more than $500,000 shall first be approved by the City Council.
Work shall be performed without the benefit of competitive bidding, either formal
or informal, only so long as necessary under those sections.
For projects of more than the amount provided for in § 22032(a) of the Act (currently $75,000), a report on the emergency and work performed shall be provided at the next regular meeting of the City Council, and then at every meeting thereafter required by § 22050. At such meetings, the City Council shall determine, by a four-fifths vote, that there is a need to continue the action without the benefit of informal or formal competitive bidding in accordance with § 22035 of the Act and Cal. Public Contract Code § 22050. The City Council shall terminate the emergency action at the earliest possible date that conditions warrant, so that the remainder of the emergency action may be completed pursuant to a formal bidding procedure.
The emergency repairs remain necessary to fully restore the Police Department Headquarters following the water intrusion and mold remediation. While substantial progress has been achieved, the remaining flooring, cabinetry, and finish work are integral components of the restoration effort and are necessary before affected areas can be safely returned to normal operation.
Accordingly, staff recommends that the City Council determine there remains a need to continue the emergency action without competitive bidding pursuant to California Public Contract Code Section 22050 until all emergency work has been completed.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for the recommended action in an amount not to exceed $700,000 is available in the Emergency Water Line and Remediation Repairs at Police Department Headquarters Project (PJ_00000531) within the General Fund (FD_1110).
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This action declares an emergency at the Police Department and authorizes needed repairs and there is no possibility that approving this project will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.
