Meritage Homes Housing Project - 3150 Bear St - Letter of Support To: Costa Mesa Planning Commissioners and City Council Members My name is Adam Scotchler and I am a resident of the city of Costa Mesa, as well as a small business owner. My wife and three children rent in Eastside Costa Mesa and we have been eager to purchase a home in Costa Mesa. The Meritage project at 3150 Bear Street offers my family the opportunity to become a home owner and to invest in this community.
I understand that this project has spent more than a year and a half being designed and vetted by your city staff. It meets all parking requirements and the improvements they are bringing to the area, including the park across the street, make this a great location to raise my children. I am hopeful you will approve this project and help facilitate its future build out.

Meritage Homes Housing Project - 3150 Bear St
'PH S
To whom it may concern,
My name is Erin Gonzalez, and I"m a millennial young professional renter living in Costa Mesa. I am writing to express my strong support for the new homes that Meritage Homes is proposing at the former Trinity Broadcast site on Bear Street.
For me and many of my peers, homes in this category represent more than just new housing units, they offer a pathway to achieving the American dream of homeownership. With housing costs continuing to rise, affordable homes like those Meritage plans to construct are crucial for young people to establish a stable and affordable foothold in Orange County.
I respectfully urge the Commission to approve this project and provide more young residents the opportunity to thrive and build futures as homeowners in the Costa Mesa community. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Erin Gonzalez

RE: Support for Proposed Bear Street Residential Community (3150 Bear Street) Dear Members of the Planning Commission,
On behalf of the Costa Mesa Chamber of Commerce, I am writing to express our strong support for the proposed residential community by Meritage Homes at 3150 Bear Street, the site of the former Trinity Broadcasting Center.
Costa Mesa continues to face a critical need for high-quality, for-sale housing. This project brings 142 thoughtfully designed homes, both detached condos and stacked flats, all for purchase. This opportunity supports long-term community investment and housing stability.
Key benefits include:
Smart Growth: Transforms an inactive commercial site into a vibrant residential community, expanding homeownership opportunities through diverse floor plans and price points.
Sustainability: Homes will feature solar, efficient HVAC, and EPA-certified green building practices, aligning with Costa Mesa's environmental goals.
Community Design: Includes shared amenities, a tot lot, BBQ areas, two-car garages per unit, 37 guest spaces, and an HOA to ensure ongoing maintenance. Access points are carefully planned to support emergency access and neighborhood compatibility.
Economic Impact: Adds 142 new households, supports local businesses, creates jobs, and increases city revenue-all while strengthening Costa Mesa's housing pipeline.
This project reflects the kind of smart, sustainable, and community-minded growth our city needs. We respectfully urge your support and look forward to seeing this exciting development come to life.
Sincerely,
David Haithcock

Costa Mesa City Council
Subject: OpposiUon to Application PGPA-24-0002 3150 Bear Street We are writing to formally oppose the proposed 142-unit ownership residential development on the 6.12-acre site, which includes 93,500 square feet of on-site open space including private balconies and seven units designated for very low-income housing.
While the need for housing, especially affordable options, is undeniable in other cities in California, this project raises significant concerns for our community:
* Overdevelopment of a Limited Space
Packing 142 ownership units-regardless of unit size-onto just over 6 acres represents an extremely high density for the area. This intensity is out of character with the surrounding neighborhoods, which have historically maintained more open space, lower housing density, and a quieter residential atmosphere.
* Pressure on Services:
Local schools, water, sewer systems, and emergency services are already operating near the capacity for our city. Adding hundreds of new residents will place additional strain on public resources that the development does not adequately address.
@ Environmental and Community Character Concerns:
This development would dramatically transform a relatively modest, low-density neighborhood into a high-density enclave, disrupting the established character, visual landscape, and close-knit sense of community that residents have spent years cultivating. It threatens to permanently alter both the natural environment and the social fabric of the area. We strongly urge the city to prioritize development that aligns with the community's values-focusing on thoughtful planning, environmental responsibility, and long-term sustainability.
735
* Pressure on Infrastructure:
Increased traffic from this project will worsen congestion at several already overburdened intersections, particularly at Bear Street and Yukon, as well as the Bear Street on- and off-ramps to the 73 freeway. The intersection at Yukon and Bear regularly backs up starting around 3:30 PM and continues through the evening rush hour, often until 6:00 PM. During this time, vehicles routinely block the intersection, preventing residents from exiting the neighborhood via Yukon-whether attempting to go straight onto Paularino or turn right onto Bear to access the freeway.
Additionally, the short stretch of Paularino Avenue between Bear and Bristol is heavily congested as drivers use it as a cut-through to reach the freeways or the shopping center at Bristol and Paularino. This section of road is frequently backed up and often blocked by traffic, and the city is already filling potholes on Paularino nearly every month due to the volume and weight of vehicles.
Adding more vehicles from this proposed 142-unit development-along with traffic from the upcoming 1,583-unit Village Santa Ana at South Coast Plaza-will make Bear Street, particularly the segment from Sunflower to Baker, virtually impassable during peak times and the Christmas holiday. This corridor already experiences gridlock during the holiday season, and this level of development threatens to turn seasonal congestion into a year-round issue.
In light of these issues, I respectfully request that the Planning Commission deny or significantly revise this proposal to better reflect the cornrnunity's needs and values.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Justin and Regina Smith

Lifestyles Community
Dear Costa Mesa Planning Commission,
I am writing in regards to the public hearing associated to the "Meritage Homes Development" and the neighborhood of the Lifestyles Community which will directly be impacted by the project.
I am a homeowner in the Lifestyles Community and have lived there for 20 years. I am so very concerned about the upcoming development that Meritage Homes is proposing. I know this project is happening whether we like it or not because the property itself has been purchased for such project but only hoping for some more consideration of the neighbors and neighborhood that surround the new development. I am so concerned about the traffic on Bear Street, especially in the front of our gated complex. The traffic on Bear Street has significantly increased! We have had residents literally ran over and injured in cars and bicycles trying to get across or leave our development. It would be ideal for it to be controlled by a traffic light to help with safety and accessibility. Entering and departing our complex is now much more problematic and I fear once the density of the new development, we will get stuck trying! Please consider this, please help us! Another thought or opinion is that there be a crosswalk potentially or foot bridge? Currently, there have been no pedestrian improvements :(
I write this letter as the homeowner of the Lifestyles Community but also speaking up for several elderly neighbors that are also concerned that can not attend a meeting or use email, but are also very concerned about the same topics I have discussed.
Thank you for your time,
Adele Molica
Costa Mesa Resident

Bear Street Housing Project Agenda Item July 14,2025 'PH-l
Hello Planning Commission,
I"m reaching out before the meeting on July 14th regarding the Bear Street Housing Project. Ilive next door in the Lifestyles community. I understand that the developers have agreed to place a traffic signal to be triggered when we leave our gated community. I know our community really appreciates this provision. I am asking that the placement of the traffic signal be placed before the opening of our complex heading towards South Coast Plaza. If the signal is placed after our entrance/exit gate. Traffic will block our community even worse than what we endure during the holiday shopping season. Traffic should stop right before our entrance so we have an easy time exiting. I know traffic studies have been done and a "do not block" painted in front of our entrance/exit gate. Cars still block it and we have to dodge our cars between others, only to be honked at and risk our lives. This is where the traffic signal should be placed.
I am also requesting a foot bridge be placed going over from the new development to shiffer park. For safety sake, pedestrians should be able to feel comfortable going to the park. According to the developer's plan, the housing track behind TBN building will now have a walkable access to the park. With the new development going in on Sunflower, we are only going to see more and more cars. People speed over the overpass leaving South Coast Plaza. Leaving a blind area for cars to see a crosswalk if created. Walking to the park, will be frightening. I have lived at my house for 20 years and not once, have I walked over to the park from fear of speeding cars. A footbridge would allow all of our neighbors to enjoy the park.
I thank you for taking the time to read my email. Please consider our neighborhood while making this decision that will affect us all.
Best,
Kimberly Bertrand

Subject: Community Concerns Regarding Proposed Development at 3150 Bear Street Dear Members of the Costa Mesa Planning Commission, As residents of the neighborhoods adjacent to the proposed development at 3150 Bear Street, we respectfully submit the following concerns in advance of the July 14th Planning Commission hearing.
Traffic Safety and Congestion
Bear Street already experiences significant congestion, particularly during peak hours, holidays, and summer weekends. The trip generation comparison in the current traffic analysis is based on prior estimated use when the building was occupied, not the current vacant condition. This results in an inaccurate baseline and may obscure the true traffic impacts. A Level of Service (LOS) analysis should be required.
The proposed addition of a signal-controlled driveway raises serious concerns. With two closely spaced signals already in place near the 73 freeway ramps, a third signal nearby could worsen backups and cause driver confusion. Cars often block intersections or run red lights in this area due to visual alignment and signal timing. Additional delays will affect not only local residents but also the city's economic engine-South Coast Plaza-by creating greater congestion at key access points.
Speeding and Unsafe Crosswalk Placement
The proposed crosswalk just beyond the downhill slope on Bear Street presents a major safety issue. Drivers frequently speed down this stretch, and Costa Mesa Police often monitor it from Shiffer Park because of how common speeding violations are. Even with a signal, a crosswalk located just past a blind hill risks being overlooked by fast-moving traffic, posing a hazard for pedestrians.
Overflow Parking into Residential Streets
We are also very concerned about the project's potential to create parking overflow in our surrounding neighborhoods. With limited on-site parking and the likelihood of multi-car 741
households or visitors, spillover parking will impact Mackenzie Place, Tanana Street, and Klondike Avenue-especially since two of these streets are cul-de-sacs with limited capacity. We already face tight parking conditions, and increased 'usage of Shiffer Park for overflow only exacerbates this. Residents and their guests are likely to use the park and nearby streets for both daytime and overnight parking, further straining the laimited availability.
Additional Concerns
While we understand and appreciate the city's interest in investing in park improvements, we are concerned that the proposed budget may not be sufficient to support the increased use this development will generate. We urge a more thorough review of the funding allocation to ensure it can meet the long-term needs of the community. Additionally, the current design proposed in the plans with only having one entrance and exit will not be adequate for the park. As the number of residents and park visitors grows, expanded access and increased parking capacity will be essential.
In Condusion
Safety and overflow parking are our community's top concerns. We ask the Planning Commission to carefully reconsider this project's design, traffic impact analysis, and neighborhood consequences. We respectfully request that these issues be thoroughly studied and addressed before any approval is granted.
Thank you for considering the voice of the community. justin and Regina Smith

Subject: Cell Phone Tower Placentia and Federal
Dear Members of the City Planning Department,
I am writing as a homeowner and resident of Costa Mesa to formally express my strong opposition to the proposed installation of a cell phone tower near my property on Placentia Ave./Federal Ave.
I have serious concerns about the impact this would have on pur community.
Specifically:
- Numerous studies have shown that proximity to cell towers can negatively affect home values. As a homeowner who has invested significantly in my property, this is extremely concerning.
* A cell tower would be visually intrusive and detract from the character and beauty of our residential neighborhood.
1 743
While the scientific community continues to evaluate the long-term health impacts of living near such towers, many residents are understandably wary of any possible risks
- There has been no meaningful community engagement or outreach to gather feedback from affected residents, which I believe should be a requirement before moving forward with any installation in a residential area.
I respectfully urge the City to reject this proposal or consider alternative locations away from homes, schools, and community spaces. Our neighborhood should not bear the burden of infrastructure that benefits broader service areas at the expense of our local environment, home values, and peace of mind.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and for considering the concerns of the residents you serve.
Sincerely,
Dana Kalionzes

proposed 142 new units at 3150 Bear Street, Costa Mesa rv=;-\
This project is laughably ridiculous. It's a parking lot of cars already during rush hour in this area.
Do you really think its a good idea to squeeze in 142 homes in an ALREADY crowded and thoroughly traffic congested area?
A traffic light will do nothing to relieve traffic. Absolutely ludicrous.
The bridge on Bear Street that travels over the 405 frwy to South Coast Plaza/Metro merges down from 3 lanes to 2 lanes each way,
and already causes a traffic jam backing up both ways from Paularino all the way past Shiffer Park to the South Coast Plaza/Metro shopping malls.
This site is NOT zoned for housing for a reason.
The city elected officials are supposed to make life better in Costa Mesa for its citizens. This is clearly, quite obviously doing the opposite.
thanks for your time.
Do the right thing.
Sincerely,
your Costa Mesa neighbor,

Subject: Community Concerns Regarding Proposed Development at 3150 Bear Street Dear Members of the Costa Mesa Planning Commission As residents of the neighborhoods adjacent to the proposed development at 3150 Bear Street, we respectfully submit the following concerns in advance of the July 14th Planning Commission hearing.
Traffic Safety and Congestion
Bear Street already experiences significant congestion, particularly during peak hours, holidays, and summer weekends. The trip generation comparison in the current traffic analysis is based on prior estimated use when the building was occupied, not the current vacant condition. This results in an inaccurate baseline and may obscure the true traffic impacts. A Level of Service (LOS) analysis should be required.
The proposed addition of a signal-controlled driveway raises serious concerns. With two closely spaced signals already in place near the 73 freeway ramps, a third signal nearby could worsen backups and cause driver confusion. Cars often block intersections or run red lights in this area due to visual alignment and signal timing. Additional delays will affect not only local residents but also the city's economic engine-South Coast Plaza-by creating greater congestion at key access points.
Speeding and Unsafe Crosswalk Placement
The proposed crosswalk just beyond the downhill slope on Bear Street presents a ma3or safety issue. Drivers frequently speed down this stretch, and Costa Mesa Police offen monitor it from Shiffer Park because of how common speeding violations are. Even with a signal, a crosswalk located just past a blind hill risks being overlooked by fast-moving traffic, posing a hazard for pedestrians

p-H-l
Overflow Parking into Flesidential Streets
We are also very concerned about the project's potential to create parking overflow in our surrounding neighborhoods. With limited on-site parking and the likelihood of multi-car households or visitors, spillover parking will impact Mackenzie Place, Tanana Street, and Klondike Avenue-especially since two of these streets are cul-de-sacs with limited capacity. We already face tight parking conditions, and increased usage of Shiffer Park for overflow only exacerbates this.
Additional Concerns
While we understand the city's interest in park investment, we believe the proposed budget for park improvements may fall short of what's needed to support the increased use that this development will bring. We encourage a more detailed review of that allocation to ensure it meets long-term community needs.
In Conclusion
Safety and overflow parking are our community's top concerns. We ask the Planning Commission to carefully reconsider this project's design, traffic impact analysis, and neighborhood consequences.
We respectfully request that these issues be thoroughly studied and addressed before any approval is granted.
Thank you for considering the voice of the community.

RESOLUTIONS AFFIRMING THE CITY’S CORE VALUES AND SUPPORT FOR SENATE BILL 805, NO VIGILANTES ACT
DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER’S OFFICE
PRESENTED BY: ALMA REYES, DEPUTY CITY MANAGER
JAY BARKMAN, GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS MANAGER
CONTACT INFORMATION: SERGIO ESCOBAR, MANAGEMENT ANALYST (714) 754-5156 RECOMMENDATION:
City Council consideration of the following:
1. Adoption of Proposed Resolution No. 2025-XX affirming the City’s Core Values.
2. Adoption of Proposed Resolution No. 2025-XX supporting California Senate Bill 805 (Perez), “No Vigilantes Act.”
3. Approval of the proposed Letter of Support for SB 805, the “No Vigilantes Act.” BACKGROUND:
At the July 15 City Council Meeting, during public comment, speakers made remarks on ongoing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity in the region. They shared the impacts that have resulted locally. Subsequently, Councilmembers Marr and Reynolds, and Mayor Pro Tem Chavez, requested that staff bring to the August 5th Council Meeting the following items for discussion:
· Resolution affirming the City’s Core Values in response to the Federal immigration enforcement activity.
· Letter of Support for SB 805
· Direct staff to explore partnerships with community-based organizations (CBOs), including faith-based organizations (FBOs), and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to provide support services to impacted residents.
Additionally, Mayor Pro Tem Chavez requested that the proposed resolution reference State Senator Suzette Martinez Valladeres's letter urging the United States President to focus deportation efforts on criminals, a call on modernization of the immigration process for non-criminal undocumented immigrants and visa policies that will help build a stronger economy, secure the borders, and protect

immigrants and visa policies that will help build a stronger economy, secure the borders, and protect communities. The letter was signed onto by Orange County State Legislators, Assemblywoman Laurie Davies and Assemblywoman Diane Dixon.
Other cities throughout the Southern California region have taken action in response to ICE activity in the area. The cities below have taken formal action by either adopting resolutions denouncing Federal immigration enforcement and/or developing assistance programs, or a combination thereof.

ANALYSIS:
Current City Efforts
In response to recent ICE operations in the region and across the Country, the City has affirmed its commitment to its Core Values of inclusivity and compassion for all members of the community it serves, regardless of immigration status. Further, efforts have been made to provide the community with information about resources and support services available to those impacted by Federal immigration enforcement.
Since January, staff have attended several community meetings and maintained an open dialogue with community-based organizations, non-governmental organizations, and community members to better understand the concerns, needs, and impacts on the community.
As part of the City’soutreach and engagement efforts, staff developed and launched the Community Resources webpage on the City’swebsite, a dedicated community webpage with information and resources. The webpage includes the following support service(s) areas:
· Emergency & Crisis Support · School Resources
· Legal Services & Representation · Workplace & Employer Guidance · Know Your Rights & Legal Education · Support Services & Advocacy · Immigration Services · Help With A Federal Agency
More recently, staff prepared Costa Mesa Cares Family Preparedness packets, which are tailored to support residents impacted by the current immigration enforcement operations. The packets contain information and preparedness resources for any emergency, and have been made available to community members and community organizations assisting those in need.
Potential Impact on Tenants
During the July 15 Council Meeting, Councilmembers raised concerns about the unintended consequences of Federal immigration enforcement on tenants. Approximately 60% of the City’s households are renter-occupied. Currently, the City receives eviction-related inquiries by email, phone, and in person and tracks “no fault” evictions, pursuant to the City’s Ordinance. Support services and assistance are voluntary to those who received lawful evictions, and the level of need is
792
File #: 25-396 Meeting Date: 8/5/2025
services and assistance are voluntary to those who received lawful evictions, and the level of need is on a case-by-case basis. At this time, information on at-fault evictions resulting from current ICE enforcement is unknown. The City does not have a mechanism in place or the capability to track at- fault evictions. Per the City’sTenant Protection Ordinance, staff tracks no-fault evictions through TESSA on a case-by-case basis only. Staff continues to explore and engage in conversations with City partners about potential opportunities to access at-fault eviction data, if available.
Exploring Partnership with Community-Based Organizations & Non-Governmental Organizations City Staff has maintained strong relationships with community-based organizations, non- governmental organizations, faith-based organizations, and community members. Through ongoing dialogue and collaboration, staff has been able to understand the concerns of immigrant communities better and assess the evolving needs of those impacted by federal immigration enforcement activities. These partnerships have proven vital in identifying service gaps, building trust, and informing the City's approach to the community.
In addition to these efforts, staff will continue working with CBOs, NGOs, and FBOs to explore and identify potential partnerships that can provide direct support services, such as legal assistance, rental assistance, case management, and emergency aid to individuals and families affected by immigration enforcement. Once formed, these partnerships will help ensure that those affected by the federal enforcement activity have access to support services and that the City can proactively respond to community needs.
Proposed Resolutions
The first proposed Resolution highlights ICE's recent federal enforcement activity within the City and surrounding areas. It expresses concern over the disruptive nature of these operations and the fear they instill in residents. It highlights reports of ICE agents using aggressive tactics such as unnecessary force, face coverings, plain clothes, unmarked vehicles, and targeting of areas previously deemed inappropriate, particularly in sensitive areas like homes, schools, workplaces, and places of worship. While acknowledging that immigration enforcement is under the sole jurisdiction of the Federal government and that the City and its Police Department do not participate in or assist with such operations, the City Council affirms its responsibility to speak out against actions that undermine public safety and community trust.
Additionally, the Resolution calls on Federal representatives to ensure that ICE agents conduct enforcement with due process, refrain from using concealed identities and force where unwarranted, and focus efforts only on individuals with criminal records. Furthermore, the resolution encourages local nonprofits, community groups, faith-based organizations, and businesses to offer time, resources, and financial support to individuals and families impacted by Federal immigration enforcement activity. The City affirms its commitment to public safety, inclusivity, and civil rights for all residents, and expresses its intent to explore and implement programs and partnerships that support the well-being of those most at risk due to Federal immigration enforcement.
The second proposed resolution focuses exclusively on support for Senate Bill 805 (SB 805), “No Vigilantes Act,” which is discussed in depth below.
793
File #: 25-396 Meeting Date: 8/5/2025
Council Policy on Legislative Positions
City Council Policy 000-8 authorizes the Mayor to execute legislative position letters on behalf of the City Council when the City’slegislative partners have acted. Those partners are identified in the policy as the National League of Cities, League of California Cities, Association of California Cities - Orange County, or the Orange County Council of Governments. Formal Council approval is required when none of the City’slegislative partners have taken a support or oppose position or when the legislative partners have taken a contradictory position. Currently, Cal Cities has taken a Watch Position on SB 805 (Perez). In accordance with City Council Policy 000-8, a Support Letter has been brought forth for the Council’s consideration.
SB 805 (Perez) Background
Senator Perez amended SB 805 on June 23, 2025, to create the “NoVigilantes Act”and address the use of face coverings and the absence of identifying information by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when conducting enforcement activities. The bill states that recent immigration enforcement operations by ICE contribute to fear and questions for individuals to “distinguish between authorized personnel and bad actors.”
The bill expands and builds upon existing law, including SB 54 “The California Values Act”, which prohibits California law enforcement agencies from aiding in immigration enforcement. Existing law prohibits impersonating a peace officer and requires local uniformed peace officers to be clearly identified. Lastly, existing law establishes the Bail Fugitive Recovery Act, defining who is authorized to apprehend a bail fugitive.
The Senate Public Safety Committee analysis points out that federal law currently prohibits “conscripting”the states to enforce federal regulatory programs. Federal, state, or local government entities are also prohibited from restricting ICE from obtaining information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual. Lastly, federal law currently requires immigration officers to identify themselves at the time of arrest, and as soon as it is practical and safe to do so.
In discussing SB 805 (Perez) with the Costa Mesa Police Department, it was noted that the bill partly duplicates existing law but is also seeking to have local law enforcement engage with ICE in a manner that may conflict with federal law. Costa Mesa Police Department continues to monitor and respond to calls for service, including reports of a possible kidnappings or impersonations of law enforcement officers, and takes appropriate action within the authority of the law.
SB 805 (Perez) Effects
During the Senate Public Safety Committee hearing on July 14, 2025, the bill author stated that the “lack of transparency fosters confusion, fear, and mistrust in communities across the state.” To address these concerns, SB 805 (Perez) expands the scope of existing crimes dealing with impersonation. Specifically, the bill addresses four areas:
· Expands police impersonation laws to include the use “of any other means” to defraud. · Prohibits a bail agent from using their position for the purposes of immigration enforcement. · Requires all law enforcement agency personnel operating in California to visibly display
794
File #: 25-396 Meeting Date: 8/5/2025
identification.
· Local police will be allowed to request an “alleged”law enforcement employee to present identification when there is probable cause or reasonable suspicion of a crime, or a legitimate safety concern.
The Senate Public Safety Committee analyzed the bill and raised concerns about the “likelihood of this bill surviving legal scrutiny” if challenged by the federal government. Specifically, the two provisions imposing an obligation on federal law enforcement to follow specific identification requirements and making failure to do so a misdemeanor may be construed as a violation of the Supremacy Clause.
As of July 24, 2025, the bill is supported by Orange County Supervisor Vicente Sarmiento, the cities of Culver, Los Angeles, Lynwood, Monterey Park, Paramount, Pasadena, and Santa Ana. The bill is also supported by various labor unions and community groups.
The California Police Chief Association secured amendments to exclude undercover officers from the identification requirements and remove penalties against local agencies and personnel. Since then, the California Police Chiefs Association has taken a neutral position on SB 805.
Potential Challenges with Implementation of SB 805
Based on the input received from the Costa Mesa Police Department, should SB 805 be enacted into law, it will conflict with federal law, creating expectations by the community that the Costa Mesa Police Department intervene and possibly arrest federal agents. Currently, California peace officers have the authority to arrest individuals who commit state crimes. This includes federal agents, but only in rare cases where the agent is clearly acting outside the scope of lawful federal duties and violating state law. Federal agents are protected under the Supremacy Clause of the U.S.
Constitution when acting within their official capacity.
As such, local law enforcement cannot generally arrest or interfere with a federal agent performing lawful duties, even if those actions are controversial. As discussed above, federal law requires ICE or other immigration enforcement agents to identify themselves as soon as it is practical and safe to do so. However, federal law does not specify “visible identification” requirements to the levels required by the bill. As a result, local police may not apply these standards to federal agents.
Should the City Council desire to take a position on the bill, a Letter of Support for SB 805 has been drafted for review and consideration.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may:
1. Direct changes to be made to the proposed resolutions and/or letter.
2. Choose not to approve the resolutions and/or letter.
3. Adopt a “Support if Amended” position on SB 805 (Perez) to request that portions of the bill in conflict with federal law be removed to protect local law enforcement agencies and their
795

personnel.
FISCAL REVIEW:
There are no fiscal impacts to the City for the approval of the recommended actions.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed this agenda report and resolutions and approves them as to form.
CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:
This item supports the following City Council Goal:
· Strengthen the Public’s Safety and Improve the Quality of Life CONCLUSION:
Through its continuous efforts, the City stands firmly by its Core Values of inclusivity and compassion for its diverse community and reaffirms its commitment to ensuring the delivery of essential services and public safety for all residents.

R
e: Senate Bill 805 (Pérez): Crimes. (Amended – 7/18/2025) City of Costa Mesa – Notice of Support
D
ear Senator Pérez,
O
n behalf of the City of Costa Mesa, I am writing to express our support for Senate Bill 805, the No Vigilantes Act. This important legislation encourages community -conscious public safety by protecting communities against the impersonation of law enforcement officers and other public safety personnel.
A
s detailed in the Senate Public Safety Committee’s analysis of the bill, recent incidents across California and other states include incidents of impersonators engaging in behavior ranging from harassment to serious criminal acts such as kidnapping and sexual assault. These actions sow distrust in public institutions and threaten the safety of our residents, particularly those in vulnerable communities. The bill’s prohibition against impersonation, especially through deceptive means or with intent to defraud, is a critical and necessary step forward.
T
he City of Costa Mesa strongly supports SB 805’s intent to address the alarming rise in law enforcement impersonation, which puts vulnerable populations at heightened risk. City of Costa Mesa residents have expressed their concerns and fears of being subject to false imprisonment when attending public events, parks, or community facilities. This has become evident over the recent months in the declining numbers of attendees at some of our most popular community events. City residents and business have expressed their desire that the focus of immigration enforcement should be on serious and violent criminals and not legitimate workers or employment sites.
W
hile the City acknowledges the bill’s provision requiring on- duty law enforcement officers to display identification, we note that this requirement is already a standard practice under most existing law enforcement agency protocols.

805
MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBER COUNCIL MEMBER COUNCIL MEMBER MAYOR PRO TEM COUNCIL MEMBER COUNCIL MEMBER John Stephens Mike Buley Loren Gameros Andrea Marr Manuel Chavez Arlis Reynolds Jeff Pettis District 1 District 2 District 3 District 4 District 5 District 6 SB 805 also wisely places limitations on bail fugitive recovery agents, ensuring they are not misused for immigration enforcement purposes, and protects defendants’ immigration status confidentiality.
The City of Costa Mesa stands firmly by its core values of inclusivity and compassion for its diverse population while ensuring the public’s safety. For these reasons, the City of Costa Mesa is pleased to support SB 805.
Sincerely,
John Stephens

A core objective of the City Council’sStrategic Plan is to achieve long-term fiscal sustainability while preserving and improving the condition of city-owned facilities, equipment, and technology systems.
To advance this goal, the City adopted an Information Technology Strategic Plan (ITSP), which outlines key priorities to modernize operations, improve service delivery, and foster innovation across departments. The ITSP includes targeted initiatives that address immediate business needs and replace aging software and infrastructure. Among these, the implementation of a modern Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system stands out as a critical project. The City’scurrent financial, human resources, and payroll systems are antiquated, resulting in administrative manual processes.

resources, and payroll systems are antiquated, resulting in administrative manual processes.
Migrating to a unified ERP will enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve fiscal transparency, all while aligning with broader modernization goals and ensuring long-term operational viability.
The City’scurrent Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), PeopleSoft, version 7.51 (for Financials) and
8.8 (for Human Resources/Payroll) software system is a hosted, on-premise legacy software solution that, unfortunately, is no longer supported by PeopleSoft due to its age. The software system was implemented 28 years ago and manages a wide variety of day-to-day operational tasks for the Finance Department and Human Resources Division. An ERP is an integrated software system that helps the organization automate and manage core business processes for optimal performance. An ERP solution is the pillar financial information system used to record and manage all financial transactions and minimize risk by automating financial controls and ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal requirements, government accounting, audit-related standards and reporting, and best financial practices and controls. An integrated ERP system provides a comprehensive solution used across multiple City functions, including but not limited to the general ledger, budget, payroll, accounts receivable, accounts payable, cash management, procurement, contract management, project and grant accounting, financial reporting, and human resources management.
PeopleSoft has provided the basic functionality for the past 28 years for both Finance and Human Resources; however, City staff must supplement the lack of key features, functions, and reporting capabilities with standalone applications and custom programming. City staff has adopted customized and complex reports throughout the years that staff has had to create offline and manually update. This has been a challenge, especially with the implementation of constant new reporting requirements. As technology advances and new legal requirements, such as new General Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) updates, etc., staff has had to create manual processes to ensure compliance. The City’s third-party-software integrations with the current ERP system have been limited, difficult and at times unavailable.
The City has identified the critical need for a new ERP system and has developed key objectives for the project:
· Implementation of an Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) solution to replace functionality provided by current legacy information systems.
· Enhance operational effectiveness by providing timely, accurate and complete information available to residents, the City Council, City Manager and staff. · Increase productivity by eliminating redundancy and unnecessary tasks. · Improve management and public policy decision making by increasing the ability to analyze data.
· Utilize and manage technology in a cost-effective manner. · Reduction of the use of multiple platforms, spreadsheets through the implementation of a single, comprehensive, and integrated solution
· Enhance cross-departmental collaboration through the use of information technology and
808
File #: 25-354 Meeting Date: 8/5/2025
enhanced business processes.
· Implementation of best business practices to include the streamlining and automation of standard business transactions, enhanced processing, and online capabilities. · Implementation of enhanced features and functionality to support increased automation and operational efficiencies (i.e., workflow, self-service, document-imaging, accounts receivable, cashiering, refunds, grant management, etc.)
· Improve the availability of financial, human resources and payroll data. · Reduce the extent of custom modifications to the City’s application portfolio.
Furthermore, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with ThirdWave Corporation to conduct an analysis of the City’s business process to identify the functional requirements for a new ERP system and ensure a streamlined implementation process. This analysis laid the foundation for the development of a Request for Proposal (RFP), (Attachment 1).
ANALYSIS:
The selection of an ERP system required an extended timeline due to the complexity and significance of this critical infrastructure investment. City staff engaged in a thorough evaluation of functional requirements, obtained key stakeholder input, reviewed integration needs, and ensured long-term sustainability. Multiple systems were carefully reviewed to ensure alignment with Departmental workflows and financial oversight objectives. Given the scale and impact of the system, staff undertook a detailed review to ensure the chosen platform could meet operational needs across all City departments. Coordinating input from potential vendors to ensure value, integration capabilities, and contract terms added further complexity. These steps were essential in order to secure a long-term solution tailored to the City’s strategic goals. This deliberate approach was essential to selecting a solution that will serve the City’sfinancial management and reporting needs for years to come.
Procurement Approach
The City’sevaluation and selection process was handled in accordance with Chapter V, Article 2 of the City’sMunicipal Code. On February 14, 2024, the City issued Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 24 -07, for a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) & Professional Implementation Services via the PlanetBids platform.
The City created a cross-departmental evaluation team, which consisted of staff from all departments. The ERP system was spearheaded by the Finance Department with strong support from the Information Technology Department. The proposals were evaluated based on detailed RFP specifications, software solution functionality and architecture, qualifications of the firm, implementation methodology, project team experience and cost proposal. The top three vendors were invited for software demonstrations.
Each vendor presented their systems’functionality in the following areas: accounts payable, accounts receivable, cash receipts, project accounting, grant management, budget, financial reporting, fixed assets, purchasing, requisition, contract management, human resources (HR) and personnel management, benefit administration, time and attendance timesheets, payroll, technical
809

requirements, and approach to implementation application interface and data conversion.
The City received four bids to its request for proposal. The table below is the top three vendors that provided an extensive well-qualified ERP solution.
Denovo Ventures, LLC
Denovo Ventures, LLC, submitted their proposal in a timely manner and met all compliance requirements of the RFP specifications. The Company submitted all required documentation that was listed in the RFP. Denovo is a Certified Authorized Reseller and Certified Implementation Partner for Oracle ERP Solutions. They are also a Certified Managed Services Provider, a status that is only achieved by a select few.
The submitted proposal by Denovo demonstrated a thorough understanding of the project, including Denovo’s outstanding customer service that they have demonstrated over 20 years. Their compelling response to the RFP exhibited the team’sexperience when working with public sector communities. Denovo successfully completed over 850 projects; extensive references of municipal government customers, public agencies customers, and County Government customers. Some of Denovo’s experience includes over 60 cities (United States and Canada), 75+ Public Agency costumers, and 60+ County Government Customers. Moreover, the Denovo-proposed Oracle solution is being leveraged by local agencies that include the City of Bakersfield, County of Orange, and most recently by the City of Santa Ana.
Denovo has proposed the Oracle Cloud ERP Oracle Software Solution for the City of Costa Mesa and will be the project implementers of the Oracle solution. The Oracle Fusion Applications are hosted, managed, and secured by Oracle’s own Infrastructure and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution, and is configurable by customers. The Oracle Cloud (SaaS) delivers a second-generation, modern cloud for today’s modern local government - personalized, connected, and secure. The software application is expected to meet over 90% of the City’s 500+ functional and technical requirements. The software solution will allow the City to implement key efficiencies and enhancements in general accounting, accounts payable, accounts receivable, purchasing, budget and human resources. Additionally, it will eliminate redundancies and manual tasks and introduce best practices in key financial and human resources processes.
The selected ERP system is designed to integrate with the City’sexisting 22 business applications to enhance data sharing, operational efficiency, and cross-platform functionality. The ERP system represents a shift toward a fully integrated, enterprise-wide platform that decentralizes operational functions while maintaining centralized oversight and governance. By equipping individual departments with direct access to core business processes - such as procurement, budgeting, reporting, and asset management - the system promotes autonomy, accountability, and real-time decision-making. This architecture ensures that all departments operate within a unified framework, streamlining workflows while enhancing cross-functional collaboration. This system will expand to all departments and across all City locations.
810
File #: 25-354 Meeting Date: 8/5/2025
Additionally, cybersecurity was a critical consideration in the ERP selection and implementation process. The selected system incorporates multi-layered security features, including role-based access controls, data encryption, user authentication protocols, and audit logging to safeguard sensitive municipal data. Finance staff worked closely with the City’s Information Technology Department and the vendor to ensure compliance with cybersecurity best practices and regulatory standards. Ongoing monitoring and period security assessments will be conducted to proactively manage risks and protect against evolving cyber threats.
Denovo will follow a methodology that will allow the City to leverage the application to its full potential. At each stage, the project will be evaluated against the required criteria before progressing to the next stage. This will provide the City the ability to manage risk, and improve decision-making to increase the successful project completion as the project progresses.
Denovo will provide a project team with Public Sector expertise that the City will be able to leverage in implementation of the new system as well as the improvement of business processes to modernize and leverage the new system to its maximum potential. The Denovo Project Management team will consist of a Project Manager, Enterprise solution architect, and consultant leads on the various implemented modules in both the financial and human resources areas. The Denovo Project Manager will work along-side the City’sFinance Manager and Information Technology Manager to ensure the project stays on schedule and implements the City’sbusiness models and interfaces with the multitude of other technological systems efficiently. The City’stechnical leads will collaboratively work with Denovo’s technical team to ensure the City’s technical requirements are successfully implemented.
Cost Overview
The cost of the proposal includes project implementation services, subscription software fees and managed services post go-live. The cost of the project implementation services is estimated at $2.9 million. This includes both phase I and II for the project.
The cost of the annual subscription is $285,000 for years 1 through 5, for a total of $1.4 million. This annual subscription is available for an additional two years (Years 6 and 7) and will be subject to a 4% annual increase. The annual subscription of the SaaS allows the City to access and leverage the application and underlying infrastructure throughout the implementation, provides the on-going support and maintenance for the system to include application updates on a quarterly basis, at a minimum. The on-going support is provided from Oracle on a 24/7 basis. A managed services contract in the amount of $195,000 to provide direct support from Denovo following the Go-Live of Phase I of the project. The City has the option to add a second term of managed services for the same flat amount, if needed.
After careful review and evaluation of the proposals, interviews, as well as confirming references, staff find Denovo the most qualified to complete the City’sERP implementation for a single integrated solution. Denovo has a thorough understanding of the scope of work and the prioritizing of the City’s efforts to obtain an enterprise system that has the flexibility, reliability, redundancy, and capability to meet current and future business functions into a single computing environment.

Implementation Approach
The ERP project is scheduled to kick off August/September 2025 upon City Council adoption. Due to the complexity of data migration, required Financial and Human Resources processes with other technical systems in this project will be managed in two phases: Finance modules followed by Human Resources/Payroll modules. This will serve to prioritize the application software most needed and reduce the risk of failure, e.g., budget change orders, schedule of overruns, or lack of end user acceptance. Deployment will include software installation and configuration, testing, staff training, report development, at least ten years of data migration, systems interface development and technical support after system cutover.
Overall, the project will consist of implementing the following Oracle Fusion products:
· Financials and Project Management: Financials, Project Financials, Financial Report Center, Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI), Applications Extensibility Framework · ERP Self Service: Reporting Access, Transactions and Workflows · Procurement Service: Purchasing, Supplier Portal, Procurement Contracts · Procurement Self Service: Catalog Superstore, Catalog Management, Configurable approvals · Supply Chain Execution Cloud Service: Inventory Management, Cost Accounting · Document Recognition Service: Automated Invoice Processing · Human Capital Management: Core HR, Onboarding, Benefits, Absence Management, Workforce Directory Management
· Human Resources Help Desk: HR Inquiries
· Human Capital Management Human Resources (HCM HR) Platform for benefits · Payroll Process: Payroll Processing, Compliance and Reporting, Automated Tax Filing · Time and Labor: Time Reporting and Management, Rule-Based Time Recording · Budget: Position and Capital Budgeting
The implementation of the ERP system requires a significant investment of time, resources, and dedicated focus to ensure its successful deployment. The City will have a core project team dedicated to the project to include the Finance Manager and Information Technology Manager as leads to this project. The core team will also be staffed by functional leads from each key department (Finance, Human Resources, Information Technology). As the project progresses, end users from all other departments will participate as business processes are evaluated and as best practices are implemented. The project scope will also include data conversion of the City’scurrent ERP system and multiple application interface developments.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may choose not to approve the agreements with Denovo and Oracle. However, it could result in an unsupported financial system that will compromise the City of Costa Mesa’s
812
File #: 25-354 Meeting Date: 8/5/2025
financial ability to operate efficiently.
FISCAL REVIEW:

861
Denovo Consulting Services SOW_v2_92721 Page 4 of 28
© Copyright Denovo Confidential Trade Secret
• Project Management & Governance
o Establish, in coordination with Customer, the necessary plan for governance, tools, resources, and risk mitigation to create and maintain a project management structure, including coordination and collaboration with Customer’s assigned team.
o See following “Project Governance” section.
• Organizational Change Management
o Establish and implement an Organizational Change Management Strategy and Plan to help maximize employee adoption, usage of Oracle tools, and assist in minimizing resistance to the system and related Oracle Modern best practices/business processes.
• Design
o Evaluate available Oracle Cloud business process flows against the functional requirements for application modules in scope to develop an enterprise solution approach. T he process shall include a review of built-in best practices within the Oracle Cloud HCM applications using the “Fit -to-Standard” approach – this approach’s intent is to streamline the business process flows with standard functionality in the Oracle applications to accomplish the intended objectives. • System Configuration, Development, and Data Conversion o Configure, develop, and implement standard Oracle business process flows, scoped conversion objects, and scoped application interfaces. Conduct System configuration sprints to validate the business flow requirements.
• Testing and Validation
o Plan and develop test plans, execution of testing and system, and final go -live preparation activities.
This includes system integration and user acceptance testing, training, and production cutover plan finalization.
o Manage quarterly updates throughout implementation.
• Production Go-Live and Support
o Move project users, application managers, systems operation managers, and business functions, interfaces, and converted data from the pre -production environment to the live production environment.
Configuration/Customization Management
The Customer plans to leverage out of box business processes – as such, no customizations are included in Scope - any such request would need approval by the Steering Committee. However, Oracle Cloud comes standard with built-in best practices that are configurable, and Denovo’s objective is to help the Customer streamline the business processes and implement the standard process flows built into Oracle Cloud . The Customer acknowledges this may require changes in certain business processes and operating procedures. To ensure alignment with City priorities, the City will retain final authority over any proposed system changes or process reconfigurations. This governance role will be exercised through the Steering Committee, allow City to evaluate the operational impact of changes before they are adopted.
Oracle Cloud offers configuration options, enabling you to make the service unique to your business, including:
• Flex fields - allows for easy definition of additional fields and logic, so City can create custom attributes without programming. The se fi elds capture data that is related to a specific purpose and corresponds to a pre -reserved column in the application database.
• Workflow - leverages a standards -based workflow service to deliver a robust Workflow and Approvals engine, enabling complex rules and routings. We deliver workflows out of the box which can be further configured as needed. Multi -level approvals may be defined based on supervisor or position hierarchies, and tasks may be accessed by emails or worklists.
• Reporting and Analysis - allows for the creation of dashboards and reports on both historical and transactional data by leveraging the Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI) tool.

While customization is not available within the Oracle Cloud applications, supported extensions may selectively be considered. Through the use of composers in Oracle Cloud, authorized end users can perform configurations to the application that automatically save as XML files and preserved in the Metadata Services (MDS) Repository. Here are a few of the extension options:
• Page Composer - allows users to personalize their pages by, for example, adding, deleting or re- arranging portlets or changing headings and labels.
• Page Integrator- allows users to integrate and launch the third applications from SaaS application which allows to add icon and client groups.
However, Extensions using composer or any other methods are out of scope for this SOW and would require the Parties follow the Change Control Process.
Data Loads
General Assumptions & Guiding Principles:
• Manual data loads will occur where data volumes are low and there is no time or cost benefit in automating the data loads. The exception would be high volume from going live. • Data conversion method will be tested prior to the production conversion, based upon established Denovo load methodology. This is to forecast precise conversion timeframes and to validate/test programs during the Plan Phase • Business freeze in multiple areas will be a critical and required component of the conversion effort and must be established and reviewed with business data owners, management and auditors. Business freeze requirements will be addressed in detail in the Conversion document and timelines will be established in the cutover plan. • Specific data conversion requirements will be refined early during the Plan phase. • Legacy data must undergo data cleansing by the Customer to reduce data volume and extract-program run time, to improve quality, and to minimize data integrity issues. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure data cleansing occurs in a timely manner to meet the accepted schedule. • Conversion Lead and Conversion Developers will provide the input data to be loaded in the format expected by the load programs. This responsibility will include the gathering and cleansing of source data by the Customer. • Converted data will be used during the CRPs and different testing events which will help identify data conversion and integrity issues.
Data Conversions
The data conversion process is the foundation for documenting the scope, effort, and steps required to successfully perform each conversion. Each conversion identified during planning and design stages will go through the process of documentation, that involves development and creation of:
• Data conversion timeline
• Functional and possible technical specifications
• Data cleansing
• Legacy extract program(s)
• Oracle load program(s)
• Data staging requirements/sequence
• Error handling/audit requirements/procedures
• Execution of data conversions
• Reconciliation process
• Business Post Load Data Validation and Approval for use process
The following data conversions are targeted to be in-scope:

Data Cleansing
The data cleansing process results in relevant and accurate data being converted from the legacy systems into Oracle .
Data cleansing analyzes legacy application data to verify that data are correct, complete, consistent and convertible.
Data cleansing includes:
• Eliminating unnecessary data records
• Identifying and correcting inaccurate data
• Merging duplicated data, e.g., multiple vendor master files which will need to be consolidated for a single vendor.
864
Denovo Consulting Services SOW_v2_92721 Page 7 of 28
© Copyright Denovo Confidential Trade Secret
• Reformatting and standardizing data so that it can be converted. • Gathering information that does not exist in any legacy system but is required in the solution .
Refer to page 100 and 101 in the Denovo proposal where roles and responsibilities are further identified.
Integrations
Oracle offers multiple ways to integrate Oracle Cloud Applications with your existing infrastructure and information technology assets, whether integrations call for real- time or batch interaction. These toolsets support real -time integration via web services, and bulk data styles of integration via flat-files and spreadsheets. Denovo and Customer will collaborate on the technologies and methods leveraged for the targeted integrations, leveraging Oracle Integration Cloud Service (OIC) and available REST and SOAP Services, as well as file-based methods.
Oracle Integration Cloud Service (OIC)
Oracle Integration Cloud Service ( OIC) will be utilized , as needed, to develop the scoped interfaces including the provisioning and configuring all scoped OIC services, establishing baseline network rules and security configurations, and establishing error handling, tracking, and scheduling setups. If needed, t he OCI agent connectivity agent allows on - premises applications to interact with your SaaS applications in the cloud. Specifically, agent allows PaaS platform to connect to the on-premises applications, database and file servers to read/write data.
REST and SOAP Services
Oracle Applications Cloud provides public REST APIs and SOAP web services you can use to support integration requirements and provide a standardized way of integrating Cloud services with other disparate application systems. In addition, ATOM feeds provide notifications of Oracle HCM events and are tightly integrated with REST services.
Detailed REST API documentation may be found at:
• HCM Cloud: https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/human-resources/25a/index.html • ERP Cloud: https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/financials/25a/index.html • SCM Cloud: https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/supply -chain-and-manufacturing/25a/index.html
File-Based
• Inbound file-based integration - You can use File -based Loader or Spreadsheet Loader as a powerful and efficient method of importing bulk data into Oracle Cloud Applications. The upload process can be scheduled to reduce manual intervention in the integra tion process. In addition, File -based Loader and Spreadsheet Loader leverage the core business objects that serve as the foundation for the Cloud solution— meaning that all edits, business rules and validation logic that an online user would be subject to also govern all data being loaded into the Cloud Applications as well. Spreadsheet Loader allows business users to work with data within a familiar Excel format and upload bulk data into the system.
• Outbound file -based integration - Oracle Cloud provides data extraction tools that can be scheduled to run to automate the data extraction and delivery process.
o The HCM Extract tool is ideal for complex extraction needs on a defined set of HCM data objects. The data can be extracted into a number of different formats, including HR -XML, and delivered to destination systems through a number of different methods.
o Oracle Payroll Flow is the tool to automate the sequence of activities in HCM which will help to import the data from external applications with multiple steps and Boomerang integrations where integration is needed to extract and update/process the information to SaaS.
o Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI) - Oracle Cloud Applications support data export by leveraging OTBI and Business Intelligence Publisher (BIP) for HCM to export any data of their Oracle Cloud. Users create export data sets based on queries. BIP offers the ability to export data into a var iety of different formats, multiple delivery methods, data encryption, and scheduling capabilities to automate the entire process.
The following integrations are targeted to be in-scope:

Journeys
The Oracle HCM Applications provide the capability for customer defined journeys which is a collection of tasks to facilitate a business process. Journeys are configured based on business need and can have multiple tasks and/or task performers. The following Journey categories are available via the Oracle software and are used for specific purposes as follows:
• Contextual Journeys to configure tasks that need to be performed by different performers before a HR transaction. For example, tasks that a manager needs to do before a transfer action. • Guided Journeys to support users by providing guidance, such as tutorials, company policies, and best practices in the context of an HCM flow. For example, tasks to help a line manager transfer an employee. • Survey Journeys to create a survey and assign it to people in your organization. For example, regular pulse surveys to seek feedback on workplace satisfaction or a general survey to provide feedback on the onboarding process.
Denovo has included the following base journeys:
• Onboarding Journey to include two (2) participants (new hire, and reporting manager), and up to six ( 6) tasks (including W4, I9).
• Offboarding Journey to include three (3) participants (Employee, Reporting Manager, HR) and up to ( 4) tasks 866
Denovo Consulting Services SOW_v2_92721 Page 9 of 28

(including exit interview/survey, return of asset declaration). • Additional Contextual Journeys typically for HR data entry needs – two (2) included. o Additional Journeys may be configured should it be determined by Denovo and Customer that a Journey provides the most appropriate solution to any of the requirements outlined within the RFP. The additional Journeys shall be added through a change order to this SOW.
Approval Workflows
Denovo shall configure a select number of approval workflows . Denovo will explain and advise the Customer on typical usage of approval workflows via knowledge sharing. The City/Customer will have discretion on the number of approval workflows selected. Denovo has allocated 480 hours which are available at Customer’s discretion to apply towards the development of selected and prioritized approval workflows.
Fast Formulas
Denovo shall configure a select number of fast formulas for eligibility, payroll and time entry rules . Denovo will explain and advise the Customer via knowledge sharing. The City/Customer will have discretion on the number of approval workflows selected. Denovo has allocated 640 hours which are available at Customer’s discretion to apply towards the development of selected and prioritized fast formulas. Fast formulas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Various payroll rules
• Leave accrual calculations
• Leave accrual balances compared to allowed carryover maximums Reporting
Denovo shall enable and/or make available standard Oracle reports for the Oracle Applications being deployed. Denovo will explain and advise the Customer users on typical usage and applicability of the Oracle reporting tools namely, Smart View, Oracle Tran saction Business Intelligence (OTBI), Financial Reporting studio, and OTBI power user access via knowledge sharing. Denovo has allocated 1,600 hours which are available at Customer’s discretion to apply towards the development of selected and prioritized c ustom reports. The City/Customer will have the discretion on the selected custom reports being developed.
Testing & Validation
The bulk of user testing occurs during our Test phase. Customer stakeholders will be required to work with our consultants to develop system integration testing (SIT), which is end -to-end process testing, and user acceptance (full system testing with roles and documentation) test scripts and your stakeholders will implement these tests under the guidance of Denovo consultants.
Issues are identified in each test cycle and resolved/retested until acceptable prior to accepting the results of that test cycle, the following test cycles will support the project:
• During System Integrated Testing (SIT), the Customer’s stakeholders (with assistance from Denovo consultants) use the test scripts to validate the end-to-end processes function correctly (including connectivity to outside systems). Denovo consultants again resolve issues or retesting by your stakeholders. The Customer will assist with any coordinated initial testing with 3rd party systems. • User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is the final opportunity to validate that the system is ready to roll out to production. The stakeholders (with Denovo assistance) validate all aspects of the system and approve results.
The Customer will assist with any coordinated end- to-end testing with 3 rd party systems – a formal Payroll Parallel is not anticipated.
• Data Conversion Validation is a repetitive process to ensure that conversion routines function properly and that both the automatic and manually converted data results are expected. This validation is the responsibility of the Customer stakeholders.
The project will follow a structured testing methodology that includes:
• Create a Test Plan that is reviewed and agreed to by the key project team members and the Steering Committee. 867
Denovo Consulting Services SOW_v2_92721 Page 10 of 28
© Copyright Denovo Confidential Trade Secret
• Create the test cases and scripts based on the best practice business flows. • Determine the input data and expected results for each test. • Execute the tests in a controlled environment.
• Address prioritized issues, and retest.
• Monitor and report the results of each test.
• Plan for, and regression test, where needed.
• Track and report the progress of the testing effort in the Project Status Reports and the Project Plan. • Obtain formal approval from the testers and the Customer management that the test was successful and demonstrated that the system will support their business requirements.
During the Project Management Activities at the beginning of the project, Denovo and the Customer will create several deliverables together including a Test Management Plan inclusive of managing plans around quarterly updates . It contains the overall scope of what will be tested, the testing methodology that will be used, the types of tests that will be executed and the dependencies, assumptions and responsibilities for each test cycle.
Organizational Change Management
Denovo concentrates highly on activities that harness employees’ knowledge to create organizational knowledge. As such, the primary purpose of the Organizational Change Management (OCM) strategy is to facilitate a smooth transition to Customer’s new Oracle Cloud HCM system. Denovo’s Change Management lead, in consultation with Customer, shall develop an Organizational Change Management strategy based on a standard methodology, best practices from previous Denovo project implementations, and consideration of Customer’s culture and bandwidth.
Once the change management strategy is created, Denovo and Customer’ s Change Management Lead will jointly be responsible for executing the plan. Guidance, coaching, and Denovo tools/templates shall be provided to support Customer’ change management personnel for the execution of the OCM activities throughout the project lif ecycle.
Throughout the project the Customer will lead COM-related communications.
Training
Denovo will collaborate with Customer to establish a training strategy, in concert with OCM activities. Throughout the project the Customer’s core team (i.e., Super Users) will receive exposure to the solution, and informal training through knowledge sharing, participation in design, and hands on activities. This prepares the core team to be the lead trainers and the sole audience for Denovo’s “Train-the-Trainer” model.
Denovo shall provide Customer role-based training using the Train-the-Trainer model whereby Denovo will conduct the first session of each topic to be leveraged for Customer’s expanded training to end users. Denovo shall be responsible for creating training materials based on the standard base Oracle transactions, as well normal variations/use cases that have been solutioned for the customer. Exceptions, unique variations, manual tasks, policy related and other processes/transactions that go beyond the base transactions will be created by the customer’s training team, re -using the Denovo provide base training material where possible. Denovo training documents will be provided in an MS Office format (or other agreed to formats where applicable), complimenting Oracle’s online tutorials, training materials and videos. Customer may also enhance the training material by adding above mentioned exceptions and variations, non - system related policies, user procedures, and other examples or comments to enhance the mater ials.
End-User training is done by the core team (i.e., Super Users). At a point when Oracle Learning is in production and users enabled, Customer may add to catalog and assign to end users . If needed, Denovo can provide both Train -the-Trainer programs and End- User training if requested as additional services. Additionally, should the Custom desire to use members of a Learning and Development team instead of customer core team members, Denovo will analyze schedule 868
Denovo Consulting Services SOW_v2_92721 Page 11 of 28
© Copyright Denovo Confidential Trade Secret
and effort impact, as typically adding non -core team members to perform training requires extensive activities to bring them “up to speed” on how to use Oracle and the related solution.
Documentation
Following our methodology templates, Denovo will prepare the following system documentation/artifacts in addition to the project deliverables:
• Enterprise Structure design
• Requirements Questionnaires and RTM
• Pre-Planning, Strategy and Design documents
o Change Management, Training, Data Conversion, Integration, Reporting • Configuration Worksheets
• Test Scripts
• Training Materials
• Cutover Plan
• Technical Reference Manual (including System Architecture)
Production Cutover Activities
Denovo will develop a deployment plan by compiling the cutover activities to migrate from their current application to the new solution. The deployment plan will be executed during the cutover period and Customer will be required to validate the application before taking over and commencing operations on the new solution.
Post-Production Support
Denovo will provide four (4) weeks of “Hypercare” for each deployment . This Hypercare period focuses on managing critical issues that affect the production system and its operational use. In addition to critical issues, Hypercare provide s the opportunity to address non -critical issues prioritized by the Customer . These non-critical issues are typically items end users identify as they start to use the system; often, it can be a business process that doesn’t work as they expected, requiring a work-around or items that they would like to change to provide a better user experience and/or transaction process. Hypercare does not include new development.
The logging and management of post-production support issues is based on the use of Denovo’s standardized Smartsheet based issue tracker (repurposed from prior testing/issue tracking events) . Should the customer desire to use something different than Denovo’s standard Smartsheet tool Denovo will analyze schedule and effort impact, as Denovo’s methodology and timeline is build on leveraging our internal project best practices, process, tools and artifacts.
Hypercare generally includes:
• On-Demand Production Systems support
• Issue troubleshooting and resolution (excluding Oracle product defects) • Coordination with Oracle Support
• Testing/Retesting Support
• Applicable Quarterly Release uptake in DEV, TEST & PROD environments during the four-week period

873
Denovo Consulting Services SOW_v2_92721 Page 16 of 28
© Copyright Denovo Confidential Trade Secret
Unless otherwise agreed as part of the to be established governance process, the City Executive Sponsors and the City Project Manager will have overall responsibility and authority for timely driving all project decisions, reviewing and approving all deliverables, facilitating discussion and communication among stakeholders as needed, and securing any required City or third-party resources not under Denovo’s control. The City Executive Sponsors and City Project Manager shall coordinate all activities related to this effort.
Schedule Management
In relation to Schedule Management Denovo leverages a Smartsheet project plan/WBS that includes listing of activities, deliverables, and milestones and is available for all project team members to view in support of meeting schedule commitments. The Smartsheet project plan includes a planned start and finish date, duration, task dependencies, and resources assigned to each activity.
Risk Management
Risk management is the process of identifying, assessing and controlling threats that may impact the successful implementation of this project. These risks stem from a variety of sources technology issues, resourcing estimation, and communication breakdown.
As risk is a shared exercise among business leaders and teams across the enterprise, the Parties share responsibility for identifying, mitigating and communicating potential risks and disruptions. One of the simplest ways to improve collaboration between project teams and business units is to improve communication between the two. Denovo will bring, as part of the Project Governance process and tools, a Smartsheet based Risk, Action Item, Issue, and Decision (RAID) log.
Contract Management – Change Control
A Project’s scope clarifies and defines the construct, depth, and breadth of project, as well as sets the foundation for the resources/effort, schedule and ultimately the expected realization of the project’s benefit to the Customer . The Change control process works to support scope management to ensure the execution of the project is in alignment to the budget, effort, and schedule. Additionally, when one or more of these facets require an adjustment, the change control process provides clear direction to both Parties for managing adjustments/exceptions. Change control achieves this by providing a managed process to document, assess, review, and facilitate approval/rejection of a potential impacts to a project’s progress, schedule, scope, and/or costs.
The Customer’s Project Manager, in collaboration with Denovo’s Project Manager, is responsible for managing changes to the project. Leveraging Denovo’s Change Control Process and its artifacts both Parties’ Project Managers will ensure changes are documented, reviewed, and agreed upon as part of the formal approval process.
The following steps describe change control process needed for any material change:
# Step Description
1 Identify a Change Any team member can identify a change to scope, schedule and/or budget/effort. The team member communicates the identified change to the Project Manager(s).
2 Generate Initial Change
Request
The Denovo Project Manager creates and logs an initial Project Change Request (PCR) form to formalize the request using Denovo’s standardized PCR form.
The PCR is assigned to a Denovo analyst to progress Research and Impact analysis of the potential change.
3 Research Change Request Research and Impact Analysis is performed by a Denovo analyst(s), and a n internal Denovo review cycle is initiated. The PCR is updated accordingly based on the results of the internal Denovo review.
The following items are considered as part of research into a specific Change Request.
874
Denovo Consulting Services SOW_v2_92721 Page 17 of 28
© Copyright Denovo Confidential Trade Secret
# Step Description
• Business Need/Impact – What is the impact on the business if this change is implemented? What are the benefits to be achieved with this change? • Cost — What are the financial aspects of the change? How is the budget affected?
• Timeline — What happens to commitments that the program team has already made?
• Deliverables — What modifications must be made to existing deliverables?
• Effort and Resources — What resources are required? What is the expected effort to make the change?
• External Impacts — Impacts to other related programs and/or teams. • Other Implications — Risks or quality considerations? Implications of no change?
4 Recommend Resolution to
Customer
The PCR is provided to customer’s Project Manager, as well as presented to key stakeholders to confirm understanding, share the impact and support customer’s evaluation of the recommendation in the PCR
5 Customer Review and
Guidance
Customer’s Stakeholders review the PCR and recommendations, providing clarity and guidance as required prior to the formal submission of the PCR by Denovo.
6 Formal Approval/Rejection The Change is formally submitted, with details regarding the change and impact.
The customer reviews the change and either approves it or rejects it. 7 Finalize the Change If the change is rejected, the overall change log is updated to reflect the change status. If the change is approved, it is incorporated into the project as documented in the change request and progressed as approved.
In addition to the process steps above, the following applies to the Change Order process:
• Either Party may request changes to the Services and/or Deliverables, the Project Schedule, the parties’ respective responsibilities, the inclusion of additional Services, as well as other aspects of the SOW (each represents a “Change Request”). Denovo wil l prepare a Change Request describing any applicable change, the effect that the change will have on the Services, Deliverables, parties’ respective responsibilities, schedule, or other aspect of the SOW.
• The Customer Project Manager will evaluate proposed Change Requests to determine whether such proposed Change Request will be (i) mutually approved, (ii) rejected, (iii) sent for further analysis or identified as requiring additional detail (“Impact Analysis”), or (iv) deferre d. The proposed Change Request will be assigned to a team comprised of representatives of both Parties to complete this analysis. • To the extent the changes to be implemented in accordance with a Change Order impact the fees, Denovo shall promptly submit materials and information showing the anticipated impact of such Change Order. No Change Request or Change Order shall be implemented unless and until Denovo and Customer have approved such Change Order in writing. These types of Change Orders will have to be escalated by Customer Program Manager to the Executive Steering Committee and Sponsor Team for final approval and acceptance. • Approved Change Requests will be subject to amendment to the Contract.
Escalation Procedures
It is the intent of Customer and Denovo to resolve disputes and other issues in a constructive manner that reflects the concerns and commercial interests of each party. Each team, committee or board shall work in good faith to promptly and fully resolve all disputes or issues submitted for their review. Where possible, disputes or issues will be resolved by the appropriate levels of authority without the need for escalation. From time to time, however, disputes may arise that cannot be resolved despite the best efforts of the members of the applicable team, committee, or board. In such cases, the following steps are to be followed in escalating disputes or issues between the parties.
1. Customer and/or Denovo may decide that escalation is appropriate when resolution of an issue appears unachievable at the work stream, Denovo cloud transformation program manager or City Project Manager levels of the project organization.
875
Denovo Consulting Services SOW_v2_92721 Page 18 of 28
© Copyright Denovo Confidential Trade Secret
2. Escalation: If a resolution is not reached in the levels described above, the issue will be escalated. If an issue is escalated:
o Documentation: The relevant team will consult with the City Project Manager to develop a short briefing document called ‘Statement of Issue for Escalation’ that describes the dispute, relevant impact of the dispute, and the position of each party. Denovo Project Manager may assist the City Project Manager in the creation of this briefing document.
o Executive Sponsor Authority and Executive Steering Committee: City Executive Sponsors will be assisted by Denovo Sponsors to resolve a dispute or an issue. If the Executive Sponsors are not able to resolve the matter, a meeting will be scheduled with the Executive Steering Committee as promptly as possible. Such a meeting may be carried out by telephone or video conference. The Statement of Issue for Escalation will be sent in advance to the committee.
3. Final Resolution: If, for any reason the members of the Executive Steering Committee are unable to resolve a dispute after the dispute is first escalated, either party may proceed to pursue any rights and remedies not prohibited by the SOW.
Communications Management
The communications management aspect of project management is, by definition, the media component of the project.
Through a communications management plan , system the data is managed and transferred from origin to the various action centers. Denovo recognizes communications management is the key to getting things done.
The basic components in the process are the human resources utilizing their respective skills and knowledge; the hardware and software systems; the decision-making procedures; and the language interpretation processes.
Denovo shall not engage in any communication with the media or the public related to the Work without the prior written consent of the City.
Project Documentation Repository
A Project Repository (Smartsheet and SharePoint) will be used for document collaboration. This includes all documents and logs including, but not limited to, deliverables, supporting documents for deliverables, RAID logs, status reports, minutes of meetings, design documents, and configurati on data. The project repository tool will be used as the central repository for the project. Customer and Denovo Project Managers will create the structure for the repository, and in partnership with Customer , will determine the access levels of the project team members for the artifacts. A separate communication will be sent to the project team members to inform them on the location, structure, accessibility, process for creating, uploading, modifying, and viewing the artifacts within the repository.
The project repository will be hosted by Denovo with access being provided to key team members of the Project. All Customer-specific collateral will be available for download for sixty calendar days at the end of the project.
6 Team Roles and Expectations
Denovo will work cooperatively with City staff and, if applicable, the staff of other City contractors to ensure the completion of the Work. City may, in its sole discretion, use other contractors to perform activities related to the Work that are not contained in the Contract or to perform any of the City ’s responsibilities.

7 Assumptions
The scope, timeline and estimated cost are based on the following assumptions. A change in these assumptions may impact the project.
Scope and Solution Assumptions
1. Denovo’s scope and estimates are based on our current understanding of the and various important assumptions we made about the project, including assumptions about how your organization will share in the project work. Any change to the project assumptions could impact the overall pro ject cost and may require the Contract Change Request process to be followed.
2. Onsite travel assumed as 20-25% for onshore resources per the typical model. Denovo will work with Customer to align expectations for onsite delivery.
3. Oracle Cloud provides good documentation and videos for training. Customer will take a leadership role in pulling together and organizing the training collateral to ensure it aligns with their business processes. Denovo will provide working examples and assist with this process.
4. No additional third- party solutions (e.g., t ime clock s, etc.) are required . The cost of any such solution , configuration and related activities is not included in the SOW price.
5. Oracle Cloud does not support any direct database access . All integrations must be supported by direct file integrations (HDL, etc.) or supported Oracle APIs.
Project Execution Assumptions
6. Standard Processes – Customer will accept standard Oracle business flows and ‘Modern Best Practices’ .
City/Customer will have final authority on acceptance to ensure ‘Modern Best Practices’ align with the City/customer needs.
7. Standard Functionality – The Oracle software is designed to provide configurable capabilities to Enable commonly used modern best practices. The Customer agrees they will leverage standard functionality without customization and adopt Oracle modern best practices where feasible and practical for their business.
Where necessary, the Customer agrees to modify their current business processes or practices to leverage the capabilities of the Oracle software as it was designed. The City/Customer will have final authority in identify the business processes to be modified. In situations where the software does not support a requirement of the business, Denovo will work with the Customer to find a suitable work around, including a manual process, if necessary, to avoid customizations of, or extensions to, the application.
8. Personalizations – The Oracle software provides capabilities for user defined personalization s, including but not limited to hiding and moving fields, adding additional validation or navigation logic, customizing the look and feel of a page, etc. Personalization’s have not been identified at this stage (as they are dependent on personal/organizational preference) but may be included in the project via Change Request.
9. Environments/Instances: Where this document refers to environments/instances, it is referring to one of the following environments to be established for this project: DEV, TEST, PROD.
10. Data Conversion - Customer will be responsible for all data extraction, mapping and data cleansing activities to support the data conversion effort. Data conversions will be limited to active data and whatever data is needed to properly utilize the functionality within Oracle. Denovo will supply Customer with a data format for all information to be converted. Data quality i ssues resulting from incorrect or duplicate data are the Customer’s responsibility and may result in additional effort and cost for Denovo.
11. “Train-the-Trainer” Model - Our methodology assumes a “train-the-trainer” model, which means we train the core project team, who will be responsible for training end users. Denovo will mentor the customer’s team through this process.
879
Denovo Consulting Services SOW_v2_92721 Page 22 of 28

12. Data Cleansing - Customer will take a leadership role in cleansing their legacy data and organizing the information to be imported into Oracle HCM Cloud. Data cleansing includes:
• Eliminating unnecessary data records,
• Identifying and correcting inaccurate data,
• Merging duplicate data, e.g., multiple vendor master files, which will need to be consolidated for a single vendor,
• Reformatting and standardizing data so that it can be converted, • Gathering information that does not exist in any legacy system but is required in the Denovo solution, Learn the Oracle Cloud import process.
13. Journeys – journeys required to complete the proposed solution are described in this SOW based on the information provided by Customer. Additional journeys may be included in the project via Change Request and estimated individually.
14. Approval Workflows – approval workflows required to complete the proposed solution are described in this SOW based on the information provided by Customer. Additional workflows may be included in the project via Change Request. The following assumptions can be used as guidelines to understand how the complexity affects the underlying work effort and associated estimates that have been presented for the workflows envisioned for this project. The City/Customer will be at the discretion in the identification of workflows that are selected.
• Low complexity means a workflow with one (1) level of approval, no FYI notifications to system users, and any workflow triggers a re aligned to standard available fields in Oracle (excluding any custom DFF, values, and/or other data unique to the customer). Development, testing and related full lifecycle implementation effort required for LOW complexity items is generally 20 – 40 person hours. • Medium complexity means a workflow with one or more of the following attributes; two (2) levels of approval, fewer than two FYI notifications to system users . Additionally, any workflow triggers are aligned to standard available fields in Oracle (excluding any custom DFF, values, and/or other data unique to the customer). Development, testing and related implementation effort required for MEDIUM complexity items is generally 40 – 80-person hours. • High complexity means a workflow with one or more of the following attribute s; three (3) or more levels of approval, three or more FYI notifications to system users , workflow triggers extend beyond the standard available fields in Oracle and utilize custom DFF, values, and/or other data unique to the customer. Development, testing and related implementation effort required for HIGH is generally 80 – 120-person hours.
15. Fast Formulas – required to complete the proposed solution are described in this SOW based on the information provided by Customer. Additional Fast formulas may be included in the project via Change Request. The following assumptions can be used as guidelines to understand how co mplexity affects the underlying work effort and associated estimates that have been presented for the Fast Formulas envisioned for this project.
• Low complexity means fast formula requires means does not require custom set ups with complexity of calculation logic is easy (no conditions, few inputs). Development, testing and related full lifecycle implementation effort required for LOW complexity items is generally 30 -50 person hours. • Medium complexity means a fast formula requires means it requires additional custom set ups with complexity of calculation logic is moderate (some logic and conditions). Development, testing and related implementation effort required for medium complexity items is generally 50 – 100 person hours.
• High complexity means a means fast formula requires means it requires additional custom set ups with complexity of calculation logic is complex (advanced logic and multiple rules). Development, testing and related implementation effort required for High is generally 120- 160 person hours.
16. Interfaces, Reports, Conversions – the technical components required to complete the proposed solution are described in this SOW based on the information provided by Customer. Additional technical components may be included in the project via Change Request. The following assumptions can be used as guidelines to understand how the complexity affects the underlying work effort and associated estimates that have been presented for the technical work envisioned for this project. 880
Denovo Consulting Services SOW_v2_92721 Page 23 of 28
© Copyright Denovo Confidential Trade Secret
• Low complexity means a report or integration (BI, RDF or other) which references only one object (table, view, package) to return or load required data. Effort required for LOW complexity items is generally 20 – 40-person hours.
• Medium complexity means a report or integration (BI, RDF or other) which references two to three objects (table, view, package) to return or load required data. Effort required for MEDIUM complexity items is generally 40 – 80-person hours.
• High complexity means a report or integration (BI, RDF or other) which references four or more objects (table, view, package) to return or load required data. Effort required for HIGH complexity items is generally 100 – 160-person hours.
17. Decisions - T he customer’s management and key project participants will make timely decisions concerning issues raised by the project team. Expectations of decision making are:
• Critical/Urgent decisions, defined as impacting forward progress or schedule, must be made in 2-3 business days.
• Standard decisions, based on the project calendar, must be made in 5 business days . • Note: If decisions are delayed and dates are missed, a change order for those days may result.
18. Material Changes to Design – After the completion of the final conference room pilot in the configure stage, including the resolution of any issues that represent major gaps (would not go live without the gaps resolved) in the design that came out of testing, the design of the software including the application modules as configured, the interfaces and reports as developed and tested is to be deemed complete. Any material changes to that design requested beyond this point in the project are considered out of scope and the effort and time to redesign the solution will require a change request.
19. Standard Methodology – Denovo’s implementation methodology including the project management process has been developed over years of implementing Oracle software and adherence to a proven methodology is required for the project to be successful. Any material changes to the methodology must be approved in writing as evidenced by a change request.
20. Work Location – Denovo resources will perform work both onsite and remotely; offshore resources will also be engaged. Onsite schedules will be established within the Initiate (Planning) stage of each phase and maintained by Denovo Project Manager.
21. Remote Working - All parties are expected to have adequate equipment to conduct work in a remote manner, as needed.
Customer Participation
22. The timely and successful execution of this project requires active participation and engagement from the Customer. In addition to fulfilling the responsibilities described in this SOW, the following requirements must be met to ensure the effective execution of this project:
• With appropriate notice, Customer must make decisions or provide input on as agreed to by the parties, typically within two to five business days. Denovo will endeavor to provide ample time for requests requiring significant effort, but even in absence of specific timelines set forth for completion, Customer agrees to put forth the effort to respond to requests in a timely manner and not unduly withhold decisions or input so as to not hinder the progress of the pr oject. • If there is time lost to the project due to the inability of the Customer to fulfill their obligations in a timely manner or time lost to the project due to the Denovo team being asked to provide an inordinate amount of assistance to facilitate the Customer’s progress, Denovo may request a change order and additional budget or time.
• Customer agrees to assign employees in the business process owner roles that are competent, capable and empowered with the authority to make decisions on the Customer’s behalf. • The Steering Committee exists to provide executive support for the project and decision - making authority when issues or decisions have been escalated to their level.

Customers shall ensure that the assignment and adjustment of any severity level designation is accurate based on the current impact and urgency to business processing on the production systems. Customer acknowledges that Denovo is not responsible for any failure to meet performance standards caused by Customer’s intentional misuse or misassignment of severity level designations. v. D enovo personnel receiving the support case will communicate with Customer promptly upon receipt that they have been assigned the Service ticket and are engaged to respond to and resolve the issue. This may result in the exchange of dialog / emails to further understand the issue. The support case will be worked according to Customer support tiers described below.

PRODUCTS OR SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
If a third party makes a claim against either You or Oracle (“Recipient ,” which may refer to You or us, depending upon which party received the Material), that any information, design, specification, instruction, software, service, data, hardware, or material (collectively, “Material”) furnished by either You or us (“Provide r,” which may refer to You or us depending on which party provided the Material) infringes the third party’s intellectual property rights, the Provider, at the Provider’s sole cost and expense, will, to the extent not prohibited by law, defend the Recipient against the claim and indemnify the Recipient from the damages, liabilities, costs and expenses awarded by the court to the third party claiming infringement or the settlement agreed to by the Provider, if the Recipient does the following:
a. notifies the Provider promptly in writing, not later than 30 days after the Recipient receives notice of the claim (or sooner if required by applicable law);
b. gives the Provider sole control of the defense and any settlement negotiations to the extent permitted by law; and
c. gives the Provider the information, authority and assistance the Provider needs to defend against or settle the claim.
8.1. If the Provider believes or it is determined that any of the Material may have violated a third party’s intellectual property rights, the Provider may choose to either modify the Material to be non -infringing (while substantially preserving its utility or functionality) or obtain a license to allow for continued use, or if these a lternatives are not commercially reasonable, the Provider may end the license for, and require return of, the applicable Material and refund any unused, prepaid fees the Recipient may have paid to the other party for such Material. If such return materially affects our ability to meet obligations under the relevant order, then we may, upon 30 days’ prior written notice, terminate the order and refund any unused, prepaid fees for the Services under the terminated order . If such Material is third party tech nology and the terms of the third party license do not allow us to terminate the license, then we may, upon 30 days’ prior written notice, end the Services associated with such Material and refund any unused, prepaid fees for such Services.
8.2. The Provider will not indemnify the Recipient if the Recipient (a) alters the Material or uses it outside the scope of use identified in the Provider’s user or program documentation or Service Specifications, or (b) uses a version of the Material which has bee n superseded (and the Recipient has been notified in writing of the new version), if the infringement claim could have been avoided by using an unaltered current version of the Material which was made available to the Recipient. The Provider will not inde mnify the Recipient to the extent that an infringement claim is based upon any material not furnished by the Provider. We will not indemnify You to the extent that an infringement claim is based on Third Party Content or any material from a third party portal or other external source that is accessible or made available to You within or by the Services (e.g., a social media post from a third part y blog or forum, a third party w eb page accessed via a hyperlink, marketing data from third party data providers , etc.).

9.4. If either of us breaches a material term of this Agreement or any order and fails to correct the breach within 30 days of written specification of the breach (provided in accordance with Section 16.1 below), then the breaching party is in default and the non -breaching party may terminate (a) in the case of breach of any order, the order under which the breach occurred; or (b) in the case of breach of this Agreement, this Agreement and any orders that have been placed under this Agreement.
