FROM: Peter Grant, City Manager
DATE: 01/27/2025
SUBJECT: Adopt the 2025 Federal and State Legislative Platform

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the 2025 Federal and State Legislative Platform.

DISCUSSION
The legislative platform is a tool to protect and promote the City's interests on priority issues, legislative, and regulatory matters that may impact Cypress. Maintaining and annually updating such a platform allows for timely responses to legislative and regulatory issues important to the City and region. As an example, the legislative platform includes language supporting measures that provide increased funding for disaster preparedness, prevention, recovery and responses to all hazardous threats such as the local fires which continue to affect our region.

The platform is a useful tool to monitor pending legislation and determine if action is warranted. Action may include letters from the Mayor consistent with the adopted platform, as well as conversations with legislators and their staff. Before taking any action or recommending a letter for the Mayor's signature, legislative proposals are evaluated with department input, legislative advocate analysis, legal input, and City Manager guidance. New or complex policy proposals may lead to additional City Council direction as appropriate.

The platform provides broad guidance when evaluating legislation that may impact local control, fiscal stability, and the City's opportunity to compete for grants and funding.

Additionally, the platform establishes Cypress' legislative priorities to provide the foundation for advocacy efforts at the federal, state, and local levels. The legislative priorities articulate City Council policy direction and are presented in alignment with the League of California Cities.

2025 Legislative Platform

CITY OF CYPRESS
2025 STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM
The Legislative Platform is a tool to protect and promote the City’s interests on priority issues, legislative and regulatory matters that may impact Cypress. The Legislative Platform defines the City Council’s policy guidelines and legislative priorities to provide the foundation for advocacy efforts at the federal, state, and local levels. Maintaining a legislative platform allows for timely response to legislative and regulatory issues important to the City, including letters from the Mayor or City Manager to the Legislature and/or Congress consistent with the Platform. The Legislative Platform also summarizes the City Council’s positions on priority issues without precluding the consideration of additional legislative and budget issues that arise during the year.

POLICY GUIDELINES
I. PRESERVE LOCAL CONTROL
Preserve and protect the City’s charter powers, duties and the ability to enact legislation and policy direction concerning local affairs, and oppose legislation that preempts local authority. Local agencies should preserve and enhance authority and accountability for revenues raised and services provided.

II. PROMOTE FISCAL STABILITY
Support measures that promote fiscal stability, predictability, and financial independence. Support measures that preserve the City’s revenue base and local control over local government budgeting, recognizing that economic cost is a factor in considering the merits and/or impacts of proposed legislation or regulation. Oppose measures that make cities more dependent on the County, State or Federal governments for financial stability, such as mandated costs with no guarantee of local reimbursement or offsetting benefits. Oppose measures that shift local funds to the County, State or Federal governments, without offsetting benefits.

III. SUPPORT FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
Support opportunities that allow the City to compete for its fair share of regional, state and federal funding, and that maintain funding streams. Opportunities may include competitive grant and funding programs. Opportunities could also include dedicated funding streams at the regional, state and federal levels that allow the City to maximize local revenues, offset and leverage capital expenditures, and maintain City standards and goals.

CITY OF CYPRESS
2025 STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM
2 LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES
Community Services
• Support funding, measures, and legislation that provide for constructing, rehabilitating and maintaining public facilities, parks and open space. • Oppose state legislation that might limit local government’s ability to collect or allocate park in-lieu fees.
• Support legislation and grants that facilitate the provision of recreational activities for all segments of the population.

Environmental Quality
• Oppose legislation that imposes undue hardship on local agencies to implement environmental regulations.
• Support measures that expand markets for recyclable materials and maintain local authority and flexibility to regulate solid waste and recyclables. • Oppose waste and resource recovery measures imposing State-mandated costs when there is no guarantee of local cost recovery or offsetting benefit. • Support legislation that establishes funding opportunities that provide for compliance with environmental regulations.

Governance, Transparency and Labor Relations
• Monitor mandates in connection with proposed administrative or legislative action that would modify the governing responsibilities and authority of city councils. • Support legislation that modernizes requirements for publication of legal notices to allow for electronic posting.
• Support measures to achieve and maintain fair and proportionate representation on county-wide and regional boards.
• Support measures to clarify the California Voting Rights Act or permit alternative voting systems (e.g. ranked choice or cumulative voting).

CITY OF CYPRESS
2025 STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM
3 • Oppose measures that reduce local control or create additional financial burden related to employee relations and collective bargaining issues that can be negotiated at the bargaining table.
• Support reform measures that provide sustainable and secure public pensions and other post-retirement benefits to ensure responsive and affordable public services.

Housing, Community and Economic Development
• Support legislation that strengthens local control and decision making on land use and zoning matters.
• Oppose legislation that erodes the ability of cities to condition and deny projects that inadequately mitigate impacts to the community.
• Support reforms and improvements to housing element law to provide clear processes and flexibility to allow regional cooperation and establish realistic housing goals and performance standards.
• Support economic development initiatives that preserve and enhance a positive business climate and maintains and grows the business tax base. • Support legislation that provides tangible and productive tools and investment to support job creation, job retention and local business. • Support legislation that provides funding, resources, and flexibility to provide affordable, transitional, supported, and emergency housing to prevent homelessness and assist individuals experiencing homelessness.

Public Safety
• Support legislative efforts to improve local law enforcement, fire suppression and prevention, hazardous materials mitigation, rescue, emergency medical services and disaster preparedness.
• Support legislation and seek funding to assist local law enforcement to reduce crimes related to illicit drugs, burglary, assault, and domestic violence. • Support measures that protect children and youth from tobacco, alcohol and drug use and related products, and that support related prevention and intervention programs.

CITY OF CYPRESS
2025 STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM
4 • Support legislation to deter drivers from operating motor vehicles while under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
• Support measures that provide frontline funding for law enforcement services associated with the “early release” of prisoners resulting from State-mandated criminal justice realignment provisions.
• Support increased funding for disaster preparedness, prevention, recovery and responses for all hazard threats.
• Support legislation that strengthens cities’ authority to regulate business that serve as fronts for illegal conduct such as human trafficking, prostitution, etc.

Revenue and Taxation
• Oppose legislation that would increase the City’s dependence on the State for financial stability and policy direction.
• Support the preservation and enhancement of the City’s ability to generate and retain sales and use tax revenue, and local point-of-sale revenue allocations. • Oppose legislation to alter the manner by which transient occupancy taxes are calculated and collected.

Transportation, Communications and Public Works
• Support and pursue funding that specifically benefits Cypress’ transportation and public works projects.
• Support protection of dedicated transportation-related tax revenues and enhance the ability of local agencies to finance local transportation programs and facilities. • Support efforts to maintain cities ability to retain existing fees on telecommunications services for public, educational and governmental channels. • Oppose efforts to restrict cities’ authority to zone and plan for the deployment of telecommunications infrastructure.
• Support cities’ ability to maintain and manage the public right-of-way and receive compensation for its use.

CITY OF CYPRESS
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 4.

FROM: Alicia Velasco, Planning Director
DATE: 01/27/2025
SUBJECT: Approve an Affordable Housing and Density Bonus Agreement with 8561 Belmont, LLC

RECOMMENDATION

1. Approve an Affordable Housing and Density Bonus Agreement with 8561 Belmont, LLC; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to make minor modifications to the Agreement as needed.

DISCUSSION
On April 24, 2023, the City Council approved eight apartments at 8561 Belmont Street, including two affordable rental units and six market rate rental units. The affordable units are restricted to very low-income households, as defined by the State.

The project's Conditional Use Permit requires the property owner to enter into an Affordable Housing and Density Bonus Agreement with the City. This agreement legally binds the property owner to keep two of the rental units affordable for very low-income households for 55 years. The agreement ensures the long-term affordability of these units by setting requirements for ongoing monitoring and compliance with the specific income conditions (in this case very low-income) and rental standards. Such agreements are common practice, as they are the City's tool for enforcing rental rates, maintaining unit quality, and ensuring ongoing compliance. Currently, the City manages 14 similar agreements covering 397 affordable housing units.

BUDGET IMPACT
None.

LEGAL REVIEW
The Affordable Housing and Density Bonus Agreement was reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.

3.1 Use of Affordable Units During Project Rental Period. The Affordable Units shall not at any time be utilized on a transient basis or rented for a period of less than thirty (30) consecutive days, nor shall they be used as a hotel, motel, dormitory, fraternity house, sorority house, rooming house, nursing home, hospital, sanitarium, rest home day care facilities, or non-residential uses; provided that the use of the Affordable Units for guests on an intermittent basis shall not be considered transient use for purposes of this Agreement.

A vacated Affordable Unit shall 11 be held vacant until re-leased to a Very Low Income Household. Owner shall exercise diligent efforts to lease any such vacated Affordable Unit to a Very Low Income Household in an expeditious manner.

3.2 Income Eligibility: Certification. The Affordable Units are to be rented to and occupied only by Very Low Income Households. Immediately prior to any occupancy of an Affordable Unit, Owner shall obtain from each applicant for the Affordable Unit and maintain on file an Income Computation and Certification Form, certifying the income of the applicant based upon the current income of each member of the Household. The Income Computation and Certification Form shall be dated immediately prior to the date of initial occupancy of the Affordable Unit by the applicant. Owner shall use diligent efforts to verify that the income provided by an applicant is reasonably complete by obtaining the following as a part of the verification process: (a) two (2) pay stubs for the most recent pay periods; (b) copies of the federal and state income tax returns if filed by the applicant for the prior two (2) calendar years; (c) a written verification of income and employment from the applicant's current employer if the applicant is employed; (d) an income verification form from the Social Security Administration and/or California Department of Social Services if the applicant receives assistance from either agency; (e) a certification as to the income and household size of the applicant; (f) if an applicant is unemployed or did not file an income tax return for the previous calendar year, such other information as reasonably necessary to verify the applicant's income; and (g) any other information that City may reasonable require to verify the income of the proposed tenant. Owner shall maintain on file a copy of each Income Computation and Certification Form along with the information obtained to verify the applicant's income for a period of five (5) years. Owner shall provide such information to City upon request by City. An Affordable Unit occupied by a tenant who qualifies as a Very Low Income Household at the commencement of the occupancy shall be treated as occupied by a Very Low Income Household until a recertification of such Very Low Income Household's income demonstrates that such tenant no longer qualifies as a Very Low Income Household, as further set forth in Section

3.3 below.

3.3 Recertification. Annually, during the Project Rental Period, on or before the anniversary of the move-in date for each Very Low Income Household with respect to an Affordable Unit, Owner shall recertify the income of each Very Low Income Household by obtaining a completed Income Recertification Form (Exhibit D and E) based upon the current income of each member of the Household of the Affordable Unit. Upon annual recertification, if an Eligible Tenant has become ineligible, Owner shall allow such ineligible tenant to occupy the Affordable Unit for a period of six (6) months (“Grace Period”). During the Grace Period, the rent shall not increase. If the ineligible tenant becomes an eligible Very Low Income Household upon recertification during the Grace Period, Owner shall continue to rent the Affordable Unit to the eligible Very Low Income Household. If after the Grace Period the tenant remains ineligible, the ineligible tenant’s lease shall not be renewed, and such tenant shall be required to vacate the Affordable Unit. In such event, Owner shall notify the City in writing of such occurrence, and shall inform City of its plans for removing the tenant to vacate the Affordable Unit. 12 3.4 Selection of Tenants. The Affordable Units shall be available for rental on a continuous basis and Owner shall not give preference to any particular class or group in renting Affordable Units, except to the extent that Affordable Units are required to be rented to Very Low Income Households. Owner shall maintain a list of persons who have applied for an Affordable Unit and, should multiple tenants be equally eligible (as to income, credit history, and other nondiscriminatory criteria) and qualified to rent an Affordable Unit, Owner shall rent available Affordable Units to Very Low Income Households on a first-come, first-served basis or pursuant to a lottery system. Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to lease Affordable Units that become available as quickly as possible. Owner shall market the Affordable Units to the citizens of the City of Cypress on a nonexclusive basis.

3.5 Affordable Rent. The rent for the Affordable Units shall not exceed Affordable Rent.

3.6 Occupancy Levels. The number of persons permitted to occupy each Affordable Unit shall not exceed the occupancy permitted pursuant to the requirements of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development which, as of the Effective Date, is two persons per bedroom, plus one person (e.g., for a studio unit the maximum number of persons residing in the unit can be three persons). The lease for each Affordable Unit shall include a provision limiting the number of persons permitted to occupy each Affordable Unit in accordance with the preceding sentence and Owner shall enforce such occupancy restrictions.

3.7 Principal Residence. The lease for each Affordable Unit shall provide that the Affordable Unit shall be used as the principal residence of the Affordable Unit's Very Low Income Household and for no other purpose. The lease shall further provide that the Very Low Income Household shall not lease or sublease its Affordable Unit or its right of occupancy. Owner shall enforce such restrictions.

3.8 Rental Agreement. The form of the lease used by Owner for the rental of the Affordable Units shall be approved in advance by City. Once approved, no material changes shall be made to the form of the lease to the total rent to be paid by a Very Low Income Household, subject to periodic adjustments in Affordable Rent as authorized pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 50053, the qualification of Very Low Income Households, usage of the Affordable Unit, or any other provision that is required to be included in the form lease pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, without City's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The form lease shall obligate the Very Low Income Households to comply with the provisions set forth in this Agreement that are applicable to Very Low Income Households, and a Very Low Income Household who violates such requirements shall be in default under the lease and, if requested by City, Owner shall take necessary action to evict the tenant. Each lease entered into with a Very Low Income Household shall include a provision to the effect that the Owner has relied on the information provided by the Very Low Income Household on the Income Computation and Certification Form and all other supporting information supplied by the Very Low Income Household in determining qualification for occupancy of the applicable Affordable Unit, and that any material misstatement in such certification (whether or not 13 intentional) will be cause for immediate termination of such lease. Each lease for an Affordable Unit (or addendum thereto) also shall contain a provision that failure to cooperate with the annual recertification process may disqualify the Very Low Income Household as such and will be cause for immediate termination of such lease. In addition, each lease for an Affordable Unit (or addendum thereto) shall contain a provision requiring the Very Low Income Household to waive any right to relocation assistance from City. Any termination shall be subject to fair housing laws and other laws designed to protect the rights of tenants.

3.9 Records and Reports: Inspection. Owner shall maintain complete and accurate records pertaining to the Affordable Units and the matters pertaining to this Agreement for a period of no less than five (5) years (unless a longer period of time is expressly set forth herein), and shall permit any duly authorized representative of City to inspect the books and records of Owner pertaining to the tenants and rents of the Affordable Units.

3.10 Leasing Forms and Marketing Plan. Prior to the commencement of leasing activities for the Project, the Owner shall submit leasing forms and a marketing plan for the advertising and selection of tenants of the Affordable Units to the City's Planning Director, or designee, for review and approval.

3.11 Repair and Maintenance of Property. Owner shall maintain or cause to be maintained the Property and all improvements on the Property, including the Affordable Units, in good serviceable condition and repair (and, as to landscaping, in a healthy condition) and in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances, orders, and regulations of all federal, state, county, municipal, and other governmental agencies and bodies having jurisdiction. City places prime importance on quality maintenance to ensure that affordable housing projects within the City of Cypress are not allowed to deteriorate due to substandard maintenance. Owner shall make all repairs and replacements necessary to keep the improvements in good serviceable condition and repair and shall promptly eliminate all graffiti and any accumulation of debris or waste material and replace dead and diseased plants and landscaping with comparable approved materials.

In the event that Owner breaches any of the covenants contained in this Section 3.11, and such default continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice from City (with respect to landscaping, graffiti, debris, waste material, and general maintenance) or thirty (30) days after written notice from City (with respect to building improvements) (provided, that if such building improvement default cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, such period shall be extended for the time reasonably necessary to cure the default if Owner commences to cure within said thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecutes such cure to completion) then City in addition to whatever other remedy it may have at law or in equity, shall have the right to enter upon the Property and perform or cause to be performed all such acts and work necessary to cure the default. Pursuant to such right of entry, City shall be permitted (but is not required) to enter upon the Property and perform all acts and work necessary to protect, maintain, and preserve the improvements and landscaped areas on the Property, and to attach a lien on the Property, or to assess the Property, in the amount of the expenditures arising from such acts and work of protection, maintenance, and preservation by City and/or costs of such cure, 14 including a ten percent (10%) administrative charge, which amount shall be promptly paid by Owner to City upon demand.

3.12 Management. Owner shall manage or cause to be managed the Project in accordance with this Agreement and the standards and practices of prudent and qualified managers that manage properties similar to the Property. Owner may contract with a management company or manager to operate the Project and maintain the Property ("Property Manager"); provided, however, that in the event of "Gross Mismanagement" (as that term is defined below), City shall have the authority to require that such Gross Mismanagement cease immediately, and further to require the immediate replacement of the Property Manager, whether that Property Manager is Owner or a third party. The replacement Property Manager shall be required to operate and maintain the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the standards and practices of prudent and qualified managers that manage properties similar to the Property. In the event of such a replacement, the costs to retain the replacement Property Manager shall be the responsibility of Owner. For purposes of this Agreement the term "Gross Mismanagement" shall mean management of the Project in a manner which materially violates the terms of this Agreement and shall include, but is not limited to, the following:
a) knowingly allowing an Affordable Unit to be occupied by a person who does not qualify as a Very Low Income Household or renting an Affordable Unit for more than the Affordable Rent;
b) knowingly allowing the prescribed occupancy levels to be exceeded without taking immediate action to stop such overcrowding;
c) failure to maintain the Property in the manner prescribed in Section 3.11 after notice and an opportunity to cure, as set forth in said Section 4.1; d) failure to timely submit reports required under this Agreement after notice, and an opportunity to cure, as set forth in Section 4.1; and

Owner shall have the obligation to conduct a reasonable investigation of the Affordable Units to ensure the 15 information in the Certification of Continuing Program Compliance, to the best of Owner's knowledge, is true and correct.

3.14 Compliance with Laws: Right to Inspect. Owner shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and rules of any governmental agencies having jurisdiction with regard to any activities conducted on the Property and the Project. City, with written notice at least ten (10) days in advance shall have the right at no cost, to enter the Property and the Affordable Units for purposes of assuring compliance with this Agreement during normal business hours.

4. DEFAULT AND TERMINATION: INDEMNIFICATION

4.1 Default. Failure or delay by any Party to perform any term or provision of this Agreement which is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from the other Party specifying the default (or such other period specifically provided herein) constitutes a default under this Agreement; provided, however, if such default is of the nature requiring more than thirty (30) days to cure, the defaulting Party shall avoid default hereunder by commencing to cure within such thirty (30) day period, and thereafter diligently pursuing such cure to completion within an additional ninety (90) days following the conclusion of such thirty (30) day period (for a total of one hundred twenty (120) days).

Except as required to protect against further damages, the injured Party may not institute proceedings against the Party in default until the time for cure has expired. Failure or delay in giving such notice shall not constitute a waiver of any default, nor shall it change the time of default.

4.2 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative, and the exercise by either Party of one or more of its rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other Party.

4.3 Indemnification. In addition to any other indemnity specifically provided in this Agreement, Owner shall defend (with counsel of City's choosing),indemnify and hold harmless City and its respective officers, officials, agents, members, employees, representatives, and volunteers (collectively, "lndemnitees") from and against any loss, liability, claim, or judgment relating in any manner to this Agreement, except to the extent caused by the active negligence or willful misconduct of lndemnitees.

In considering whether to grant its approval of any 16 proposed transfer or assignment by Owner of its interest in the Property, Project, or this Agreement, City shall consider factors such as the financial strength and capacity of the proposed transferee or assignee to perform Owner's obligations in this Agreement, and the proposed transferee's or assignee's experience and expertise in the planning, financing, development, and operation of similar projects.

5.1.2 Permitted Assignment and Transfer by Owner. Notwithstanding the provisions in Section 5.1.1 above, Owner shall have the right to sell, transfer or assign the Property and Project in whole or in part (provided that no such partial transfer shall violate the Subdivision Map Act, Government Code Section 66410, et seq.), and transfer or assign Owner's rights and obligations in this Agreement, without prior City approval to any person, partnership, joint venture, firm or corporation that, at the time of said sale, transfer, or assignment: (a) has the financial capability to develop (if development has not yet been completed) and operate the Project; and (b) has experience and expertise in the financing and operation of projects that include affordable housing restrictions; and (c) has experience and expertise in the planning,development, or management of projects similar to the Project (provided this requirement in clause (c) shall not be considered if at the time of said sale, transfer, or assignment, construction for the Project has been completed); and (d) has not filed for bankruptcy or protection from creditors, is not in bankruptcy (either voluntary or involuntary), is not subject to receivership, is not insolvent, and/or is not subject to liquidation or dissolution, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Reform Act or any other federal or state law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or relief from creditors. Owner shall have the obligation to perform such acts necessary to verify that a proposed sale, transfer, or assignment by Owner will comply with clauses (a)-(d) above, and City shall have the right to independently verify said compliance. Additionally, and notwithstanding the provisions in Section 5.1.1 above, Owner shall not be required to obtain City's prior written approval for each individual lease entered into between Owner and a tenant of a Unit during the Project Rental Period (so long as Owner complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and City has approved the form of the lease for Affordable Units). Except for any rental lease entered into between Owner and a tenant of a Unit during the Project Rental Period pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Owner shall: (i) notify City in writing of the sale, transfer, or assignment of all or any portion of the Property, and (ii) deliver to City an assignment and assumption agreement (or other agreement) executed by Owner and its transferee/assignee pursuant to which Owner's transferee/assignee assumes all of Owner's covenants and obligations set forth herein with respect to the Property or the portion thereof so transferred.

5.1.3 Release of Assigning Owner. Upon any sale, transfer or assignment that complies with the provisions of Section 5.1.1 or 5.1.2 above, City shall deliver to Owner upon request a release in writing by City, which release shall be provided by City upon the full satisfaction by Owner of the following conditions:
a) Owner no longer has a legal or equitable interest in all or any part of the Property or Project assigned.
17 b) Owner is not then in default under this Agreement. c) Owner has provided City with written evidence of the assignment and assumption of the rights, duties and obligations arising under or from this Agreement.

5.1.4 Subsequent Assignment. As used in this Agreement, the term "Owner'' shall be deemed to include any such transferee or assignee after the date such transfer or assignment occurs in compliance with this Agreement.

5.1.5 Unpermitted Assignments Void. Any sale, transfer, or assignment made in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void, and City shall have the right to pursue any right or remedy at law or in equity to enforce the provisions of the restriction against unpermitted sales, transfers, or assignments.

5.2 Assignment by City. City shall have the right to assign in its sole and absolute discretion all or any part of its interests in this Agreement without Owner's approval. City shall provide notice to Owner of any such assignment.

5.3 Covenants Run with the Land. The Property shall be held, sold, conveyed, hypothecated, encumbered, used, occupied and improved subject to the covenants, conditions, and restrictions set forth herein. The covenants, conditions, restrictions, reservations, equitable servitudes, liens and charges set forth in this Agreement shall run with the Property and shall be binding upon Owner and all persons having any right, title or interest in the Property, or any part thereof, their heirs, and successive owners and assigns, shall inure to the benefit of City and its successors and assigns, and may be enforced by City and its successors and assigns. The covenants established in this Agreement shall, without regard to technical classification and designation, be binding for the benefit and in favor of City and its successors and assigns, and the parties hereto expressly agree that this Agreement and the covenants herein shall run in favor of City, without regard to whether City is or remains an owner of any land or interest therein to which such covenants relate. However, all such covenants and restrictions shall be deemed to run in favor of all real property owned by City which real property shall be deemed the benefited property of such covenants and this Agreement shall create equitable servitudes and covenants appurtenant to all real property owned by City and running with the Property in accordance with the provisions of Civil Code Section 1468.

Furthermore, all of the covenants, conditions, and restrictions contained herein shall also constitute easements in gross running in favor of City. City is deemed the beneficiary of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and of the covenants running with the land, for and in its own right and for the purposes of protecting the interests of the community and other parties, public or private, in whose favor and for whose benefit this Agreement and the covenants running with the land have been provided. Owner hereby declares its understanding and intent that the burden of the covenants set forth herein touch and concern the land and that the Owner's interest in the Property is rendered less valuable thereby. Owner hereby further declares its understanding and intent that the benefit of such covenants touch and concern the land by enhancing and increasing the enjoyment and use of the Property by the citizens of City and by furthering the health, safety, and 18 welfare of the residents of City. Owner hereby further declares its understanding that the covenants set forth in this Agreement are required by the State Density Bonus Law to run with the land and the Property and Project for the duration of the term.

FROM: Nick Mangkalakiri, Acting Director of Public Works DATE: 01/27/2025
SUBJECT: Approve Contract Services Agreements and Task Order for On-Call Pavement Management Support and Design Services

RECOMMENDATION

1. Approve contract services agreements for on-call pavement management support and design services with Bucknam Infrastructure Group, Inc. and GMU Geotechnical, Inc.; and

2. Approve a Task Order to Bucknam Infrastructure Group, Inc. to prepare a Pavement Management Plan for $36,985, and authorize a contingency of $5,500.

DISCUSSION
On-Call Contract
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) requires all Orange County cities to evaluate the condition of its streets and adopt a biennial Pavement Management Plan (PMP) to remain eligible for Measure M2 funding.

In order to update and maintain the City’s PMP, Public Works solicited qualifications and proposals for on-call “as needed” pavement management support and design services.

A Request for Qualifications was sent to 10 consultants and three firms responded and were interviewed by Public Works. Based on the interviews, both Bucknam Infrastructure Group and GMU Geotechnical were ranked as the most qualified using a qualifications-based procedure. Public Works recommends awarding two on-call contracts to allow better flexibility when selecting PMP consultants.

On-call contracts provide the City with the knowledge and flexibility to implement and deliver projects as necessary. The City currently has on-call contracts for a variety of professional services including sewer, storm drain, traffic engineering, architectural design, construction management and inspection, and environmental services.

Both firms come highly recommended by other public agencies throughout Southern California, and have provided similar services to Cypress and several nearby cities including Anaheim, Irvine, Newport Beach, and Tustin.

The initial contract terms expire on June 30, 2027, with an option for three one-year extensions. Prior to starting any new service for a particular project, the selected firm will provide a scope of work, project schedule, and fee proposal for review and approval. For projects beyond the approval authority of the City Manager, a task order will be brought forward to the City Council for consideration and approval.

Task Order
The task order to prepare the updated PMP for 2025 is recommended to be awarded to Bucknam Infrastructure Group based on the firm's availability and project schedule. The updated PMP will ensure Public Works adequately manages the preservation, rehabilitation, and maintenance of roads and Cypress remains eligible for Measure M2 funding. The task order includes a survey and assessment of the City’s pavement network, an update to the City’s Pavement Condition Index (PCI), a seven-year maintenance plan, and associated maps. For future PMP updates, either on-call firm may be selected based on availability.

BUDGET IMPACT
The approval of any work associated with on-call contracts requires sufficient amounts be available in the budget. Sufficient amounts are budgeted in the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) Gas Tax Fund under the arterial street rehabilitation program to complete the required biennial update to the Pavement Management Plan.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the contracts as to form.

The insurer is deemed hereof to waive all rights of subrogation and contribution it may have against the City, its officers, employees and agents and their respective insurers. Moreover, the insurance policy must specify that where the primary insured does not satisfy the self-insured retention, any additional insured may satisfy the self-insured retention.

All of said policies of insurance shall provide that said insurance may not be amended or cancelled by the insurer or any party hereto without providing thirty (30) days prior written notice by certified mail return receipt requested to the City.

[to be initialed] ______________
Contractor Initials
City, its respective elected and appointed officers, directors, officials, employees, agents and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds as respects: liability arising out of activities Contractor performs; products and completed operations of Contractor; premises owned, occupied or used by Contractor; or any automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by Contractor. The coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to City, and their respective elected and appointed officers, officials, employees or volunteers. Contractor’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the limits of the insurer’s liability.

Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. At the option of City, either the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions as respects City or its respective elected or appointed officers, officials, employees and volunteers or the Contractor shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration, defense expenses and claims. The Contractor agrees that the requirement to provide insurance shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which the Contractor may be held responsible for the payment of damages to any persons or property resulting from the Contractor’s activities or the activities of any person or persons for which the Contractor is otherwise responsible nor shall it limit the Contractor’s indemnification liabilities as provided in Section 5.3.

In the event the Contractor subcontracts any portion of the work in compliance with Section

4.5 of this Agreement, the contract between the Contractor and such subcontractor shall require the subcontractor to maintain the same policies of insurance that the Contractor is required to maintain pursuant to Section 5.1, and such certificates and endorsements shall be provided to City.

5.3 Indemnification.

To the full extent permitted by law, Contractor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City, its officers, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) against, and will hold and save them and each of them harmless from, any and all actions, either judicial, administrative, arbitration or regulatory claims, damages to persons or property, losses, costs, penalties, obligations, errors, omissions or liabilities whether actual or threatened (herein “claims or liabilities”) that may be asserted or claimed by any person, firm or entity arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of the work, operations or activities provided herein of Contractor, its officers, employees, agents, subcontractors, or invitees, or any individual or entity for which Contractor is legally liable (“indemnitors”), or arising from Contractor’s or indemnitors’ 01004.0006/389802.1
-10-
reckless or willful misconduct, or arising from Contractor’s or indemnitors’ negligent performance of or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, and in connection therewith:
(a) Contractor will defend any action or actions filed in connection with any of said claims or liabilities and will pay all costs and expenses, including legal costs and attorney’s fees incurred in connection therewith;
(b) Contractor will promptly pay any judgment rendered against the City, its officers, agents or employees for any such claims or liabilities arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of or failure to perform such work, operations or activities of Contractor hereunder; and Contractor agrees to save and hold the City, its officers, agents, and employees harmless therefrom;
(c) In the event the City, its officers, agents or employees is made a party to any action or proceeding filed or prosecuted against Contractor for such damages or other claims arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of or failure to perform the work, operation or activities of Contractor hereunder, Contractor agrees to pay to the City, its officers, agents or employees, any and all costs and expenses incurred by the City, its officers, agents or employees in such action or proceeding, including but not limited to, legal costs and attorney’s fees.

Contractor shall incorporate similar indemnity agreements with its subcontractors and if it fails to do so Contractor shall be fully responsible to indemnify City hereunder therefore, and failure of City to monitor compliance with these provisions shall not be a waiver hereof. This indemnification includes claims or liabilities arising from any negligent or wrongful act, error or omission, or reckless or willful misconduct of Contractor in the performance of professional services hereunder. The provisions of this Section do not apply to claims or liabilities occurring as a result of City’s sole negligence or willful acts or omissions, but, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall apply to claims and liabilities resulting in part from City’s negligence, except that design professionals’ indemnity hereunder shall be limited to claims and liabilities arising out of the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the design professional. The indemnity obligation shall be binding on successors and assigns of Contractor and shall survive termination of this Agreement.

5.4 Sufficiency of Insurer.

Insurance required by this Agreement shall be satisfactory only if issued by companies qualified to do business in California, rated “A” or better in the most recent edition of Best Rating Guide, The Key Rating Guide or in the Federal Register, and only if they are of a financial category Class VII or better, unless such requirements are waived by the Risk Manager of the City (“Risk Manager”) due to unique circumstances. If this Agreement continues for more than 3 years duration, or in the event the risk manager determines that the work or services to be performed under this Agreement creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to the City, the Contractor agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the Risk Manager.

6.2 Reports.

Contractor shall periodically prepare and submit to the Contract Officer such reports concerning the performance of the services required by this Agreement as the Contract Officer shall require. Contractor hereby acknowledges that the City is greatly concerned about the cost of work and services to be performed pursuant to this Agreement. For this reason, Contractor agrees that if Contractor becomes aware of any facts, circumstances, techniques, or events that may or will materially increase or decrease the cost of the work or services contemplated herein or, if Contractor is providing design services, the cost of the project being designed, Contractor shall promptly notify the Contract Officer of said fact, circumstance, technique or event and the estimated increased or decreased cost related thereto and, if Contractor is providing design services, the estimated increased or decreased cost estimate for the project being designed.

6.3 Ownership of Documents.

All drawings, specifications, maps, designs, photographs, studies, surveys, data, notes, computer files, reports, records, documents and other materials (the “documents and materials”), including any electronic documents and materials, prepared by Contractor, its employees, subcontractors and agents in the performance of this Agreement shall be the property of City and shall be delivered to City in a format of the City’s choice upon request of the Contract Officer or upon the termination of this Agreement, and Contractor shall have no claim for further employment or additional compensation as a result of the exercise by City of its full rights of ownership use, reuse, or assignment of the documents and materials hereunder. Any use, reuse or assignment of such completed documents for other projects and/or use of uncompleted documents without specific written authorization by the Contractor will be at the City’s sole risk and without liability to Contractor, and Contractor’s guarantee and warranties shall not extend to such use, reuse or assignment. Contractor may retain copies of such documents for its own use. Contractor 01004.0006/389802.1
-12-

6.4 Confidentiality and Release of Information.
(a) All information gained or work product produced by Contractor in performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential, unless such information is in the public domain or already known to Contractor. Contractor shall not release or disclose any such information or work product to persons or entities other than City without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer.
(b) Contractor, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors, shall not, without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer or unless requested by the City Attorney, voluntarily provide documents, declarations, letters of support, testimony at depositions, response to interrogatories or other information concerning the work performed under this Agreement. Response to a subpoena or court order shall not be considered “voluntary” provided Contractor gives City notice of such court order or subpoena. (c) If Contractor, or any officer, employee, agent or subcontractor of Contractor, provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City shall have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Contractor for any damages, costs and fees, including attorney’s fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Contractor’s conduct.

City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Contractor or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Contractor agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Contractor. However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response.

ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION

7.1 California Law.

This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Contractor covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District 01004.0006/389802.1
-13-
Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Orange, State of California.

7.2 Disputes; Default.

In the event that Contractor is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Contractor for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Contractor of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Contractor may cure the default.

This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Contractor is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Contractor does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Contractor’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.

7.3 Retention of Funds.

Contractor hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Contractor (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Contractor’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Contractor’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Contractor, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Contractor to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.

7.4 Waiver.

Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.

Acceptance by City of any work or services by Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.

Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.

Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party 01004.0006/389802.1
-14-
of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.

7.6 Legal Action.

In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Contractor shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et. seq. and 910 et. seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement.

7.7 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.

This Section shall govern any termination of this Agreement except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon written notice to Contractor. In addition, the Contractor may terminate this Agreement for cause, upon sixty (60) days’ advance written notice to City.

All of the above policies of insurance shall be primary insurance and shall name the City, its elected and appointed officers, employees and agents as additional insureds and any insurance maintained by City or its officers, employees or agents may apply in excess of, and not contribute with Contractor’s insurance. The insurer is deemed hereof to waive all rights of subrogation and contribution it may have against the City, its officers, employees and agents and their respective insurers. Moreover, the insurance policy must specify that where the primary insured does not satisfy the self-insured retention, any additional insured may satisfy the self-insured retention.

All of said policies of insurance shall provide that said insurance may not be amended or cancelled by the insurer or any party hereto without providing thirty (30) days prior written notice by certified mail return receipt requested to the City.

[to be initialed] ______________
Contractor Initials
City, its respective elected and appointed officers, directors, officials, employees, agents and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds as respects: liability arising out of activities Contractor performs; products and completed operations of Contractor; premises owned, occupied or used by Contractor; or any automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by Contractor. The coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to City, and their respective elected and appointed officers, officials, employees or volunteers. Contractor’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the limits of the insurer’s liability.

Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. At the option of City, either the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions as respects City or its respective elected or appointed officers, officials, employees and volunteers or the Contractor shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration, defense expenses and claims. The Contractor agrees that the requirement to provide insurance shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which the Contractor may be held responsible for the payment of damages to any persons or property resulting from the Contractor’s activities or the activities of any person or persons for which the Contractor is otherwise responsible nor shall it limit the Contractor’s indemnification liabilities as provided in Section 5.3.

In the event the Contractor subcontracts any portion of the work in compliance with Section

4.5 of this Agreement, the contract between the Contractor and such subcontractor shall require the subcontractor to maintain the same policies of insurance that the Contractor is required to maintain pursuant to Section 5.1, and such certificates and endorsements shall be provided to City.

5.3 Indemnification.

To the full extent permitted by law, Contractor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City, its officers, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) against, and will hold and save them and each of them harmless from, any and all actions, either judicial, administrative, arbitration or regulatory claims, damages to persons or property, losses, costs, penalties, obligations, errors, omissions or liabilities whether actual or threatened (herein “claims or liabilities”) that may be asserted or claimed by any person, firm or entity arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of the work, operations or activities provided herein of Contractor, its officers, employees, agents, subcontractors, or invitees, or any individual or entity for which Contractor is legally liable (“indemnitors”), or arising from Contractor’s or indemnitors’ 01004.0006/389802.1
-10-
reckless or willful misconduct, or arising from Contractor’s or indemnitors’ negligent performance of or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, and in connection therewith:
(a) Contractor will defend any action or actions filed in connection with any of said claims or liabilities and will pay all costs and expenses, including legal costs and attorney’s fees incurred in connection therewith;
(b) Contractor will promptly pay any judgment rendered against the City, its officers, agents or employees for any such claims or liabilities arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of or failure to perform such work, operations or activities of Contractor hereunder; and Contractor agrees to save and hold the City, its officers, agents, and employees harmless therefrom;
(c) In the event the City, its officers, agents or employees is made a party to any action or proceeding filed or prosecuted against Contractor for such damages or other claims arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of or failure to perform the work, operation or activities of Contractor hereunder, Contractor agrees to pay to the City, its officers, agents or employees, any and all costs and expenses incurred by the City, its officers, agents or employees in such action or proceeding, including but not limited to, legal costs and attorney’s fees.

Contractor shall incorporate similar indemnity agreements with its subcontractors and if it fails to do so Contractor shall be fully responsible to indemnify City hereunder therefore, and failure of City to monitor compliance with these provisions shall not be a waiver hereof. This indemnification includes claims or liabilities arising from any negligent or wrongful act, error or omission, or reckless or willful misconduct of Contractor in the performance of professional services hereunder. The provisions of this Section do not apply to claims or liabilities occurring as a result of City’s sole negligence or willful acts or omissions, but, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall apply to claims and liabilities resulting in part from City’s negligence, except that design professionals’ indemnity hereunder shall be limited to claims and liabilities arising out of the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the design professional. The indemnity obligation shall be binding on successors and assigns of Contractor and shall survive termination of this Agreement.

To the extent that the claims for defense and indemnity are for Contractor’s professional negligence, Contractor’s liability shall be construed according to the provisions of California Civil Code section 2782.8.

5.4 Sufficiency of Insurer.

Insurance required by this Agreement shall be satisfactory only if issued by companies qualified to do business in California, rated “A” or better in the most recent edition of Best Rating Guide, The Key Rating Guide or in the Federal Register, and only if they are of a financial category Class VII or better, unless such requirements are waived by the Risk Manager of the City (“Risk Manager”) due to unique circumstances. If this Agreement continues for more than 3 years duration, or in the event the risk manager determines that the work or services to be performed 01004.0006/389802.1
-11-
under this Agreement creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to the City, the Contractor agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the Risk Manager.

ARTICLE 6. RECORDS, REPORTS, AND RELEASE OF INFORMATION

6.1 Records.

Contractor shall keep, and require subcontractors to keep, such ledgers, books of accounts, invoices, vouchers, canceled checks, reports, studies or other documents relating to the disbursements charged to City and services performed hereunder (the “books and records”), as shall be necessary to perform the services required by this Agreement and enable the Contract Officer to evaluate the performance of such services. Any and all such documents shall be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall be complete and detailed.

Notwithstanding the above, the Contractor shall fully cooperate with the City in providing access to the books and records if a public records request is made and disclosure is required by law including but not limited to the California Public Records Act.

6.2 Reports.

Contractor shall periodically prepare and submit to the Contract Officer such reports concerning the performance of the services required by this Agreement as the Contract Officer shall require. Contractor hereby acknowledges that the City is greatly concerned about the cost of work and services to be performed pursuant to this Agreement. For this reason, Contractor agrees that if Contractor becomes aware of any facts, circumstances, techniques, or events that may or will materially increase or decrease the cost of the work or services contemplated herein or, if Contractor is providing design services, the cost of the project being designed, Contractor shall promptly notify the Contract Officer of said fact, circumstance, technique or event and the estimated increased or decreased cost related thereto and, if Contractor is providing design services, the estimated increased or decreased cost estimate for the project being designed.

6.3 Ownership of Documents.

All drawings, specifications, maps, designs, photographs, studies, surveys, data, notes, computer files, reports, records, documents and other materials (the “documents and materials”), including any electronic documents and materials, prepared by Contractor, its employees, subcontractors and agents in the performance of this Agreement shall be the property of City and shall be delivered to City in a format of the City’s choice upon request of the Contract Officer or upon the termination of this Agreement, and Contractor shall have no claim for further employment or additional compensation as a result of the exercise by City of its full rights of ownership use, reuse, or assignment of the documents and materials hereunder. Any use, reuse or 01004.0006/389802.1
-12-
assignment of such completed documents for other projects and/or use of uncompleted documents without specific written authorization by the Contractor will be at the City’s sole risk and without liability to Contractor, and Contractor’s guarantee and warranties shall not extend to such use, reuse or assignment. Contractor may retain copies of such documents for its own use. Contractor shall have the right to use the concepts embodied therein. All subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any documents or materials prepared by them, and in the event Contractor fails to secure such assignment, Contractor shall indemnify City for all damages resulting therefrom. Moreover, Contractor with respect to any documents and materials that may qualify as “works made for hire” as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, such documents and materials are hereby deemed “works made for hire” for the City.

6.4 Confidentiality and Release of Information.
(a) All information gained or work product produced by Contractor in performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential, unless such information is in the public domain or already known to Contractor. Contractor shall not release or disclose any such information or work product to persons or entities other than City without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer.
(b) Contractor, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors, shall not, without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer or unless requested by the City Attorney, voluntarily provide documents, declarations, letters of support, testimony at depositions, response to interrogatories or other information concerning the work performed under this Agreement. Response to a subpoena or court order shall not be considered “voluntary” provided Contractor gives City notice of such court order or subpoena. (c) If Contractor, or any officer, employee, agent or subcontractor of Contractor, provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City shall have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Contractor for any damages, costs and fees, including attorney’s fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Contractor’s conduct. (d) Contractor shall promptly notify City should Contractor, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors be served with any summons, complaint, subpoena, notice of deposition, request for documents, interrogatories, request for admissions or other discovery request, court order or subpoena from any party regarding this Agreement and the work performed there under. City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Contractor or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Contractor agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Contractor. However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response.

ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION

7.1 California Law.

This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be 01004.0006/389802.1
-13-
instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Contractor covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Orange, State of California.

7.2 Disputes; Default.

In the event that Contractor is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Contractor for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Contractor of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Contractor may cure the default.

This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Contractor is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Contractor does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Contractor’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.

7.3 Retention of Funds.

Contractor hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Contractor (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Contractor’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Contractor’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Contractor, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Contractor to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.

7.4 Waiver.

Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.

Acceptance by City of any work or services by Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.

Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement. 01004.0006/389802.1
-14-

7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.

Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.

7.6 Legal Action.

In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Contractor shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et. seq. and 910 et. seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement.

7.7 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.

This Section shall govern any termination of this Agreement except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon written notice to Contractor.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 7.

FROM: Matt Burton, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 01/27/2025
SUBJECT: Receive and File the Investment Reports for the Months Ended October 31, 2024, November 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024

RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the attached investment reports.

DISCUSSION
California Government Code Section 53607 and Cypress Municipal Code Section 2-18(f) requires the submission of a monthly investment report to the City Council. Due to the cancellation of City Council meetings in November and December, three reports are being presented for the months ending October 31, 2024, November 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024.

Total cash and investments and the investment yields for the three months were as follows:

October 31, 2024 November 30, 2024 December 31, 2024
Total Cash and Investments $182.7 million $181.6 million $181.5 million Yield on Investments 4.45% 4.33% 4.30%
As required by the Government Code, all investments are in conformity with the City's investment policy and sufficient cash flows are available to meet the next six months of estimated expenditures.

The attached Summaries of Cash and Investments present the investments held by the City of Cypress as of October 31, 2024, November 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024. The Investment Reports consist of the following five summaries:

1.Summary of Cash and Investments - Provides the total portfolio of the City.

Changes in Cash and Investments - Provides a two-month cash flow analysis by fund type. These separate fund types allow for restricted monies to be segregated and tracked separately. The total ending amount agrees to the current market value shown in the Summary of Cash and Investments.

2. Investments at Market Value by Maturity Date - Provides a list of investments by maturity date, and an indication of the liquidity (ability to turn into cash) of the investments. The California Government Code restricts the type of investments eligible for public funds. The City’s Investment Policy further defines permitted investments. These restrictions in investment types and the terms of allowable investments result in limited yields on City investments.

3. Interfund Investments - Indicates outstanding loans between City funds. There are currently two loans due to the City's Infrastructure Reserve Fund from the Cypress Recreation and Park District General Fund related to the construction of Lexington Park and the rehabilitation of Arnold Cypress Park.

4. Summary of Cash and Investments Held In Trust - Presents investments held in trust by the Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) for offsetting unfunded pension liabilities. The pension trust assets can only be used to pay future pension obligations. The legal restrictions on the allowable investment types are less restrictive than those in the City's portfolio, which provides the potential for higher yields to be earned over

5. restrictive than those in the City's portfolio, which provides the potential for higher yields to be earned over the long-term on investments held in the pension trust.

For each of the three months, the City's portfolio consisted of the following:

October 31, 2024 November 30, 2024 December 31, 2024
Federal Agency Securities $104.0 million $116.1 million $126.0 million Investment Pools $77.1 million $64.1 million $54.1 million Bank Accounts $1.6 million $1.4 million $1.4 million
Total $182.7 million $181.6 million $181.5 million
A portion of the investment portfolio is invested in the State Investment Pool (Local Agency Investment Fund or LAIF) which is managed by investment professionals and provides a diversified investment pool for local agencies to invest. By using the combined size of the participating cities and agencies, the State Pool can provide a competitive yield, liquidity and investment knowledge that otherwise would not be available to a single entity.

The amount of cash in the City’s checking accounts fluctuates based on the maturity of investments, daily cash receipts, and when vendors and employees are paid. The daily balances maintained in the checking accounts provide credits which offset monthly bank charges. In addition to the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) which insures the first $250,000, excess checking deposits are secured by banks, government, or mortgage securities valued between 110% and 150% of the deposits.

SUBJECT: Receive and File Register of Warrants, Transfers, and Wires Issued for the Period of October 12, 2024 through January 10, 2025

DISCUSSION
Payments to vendors for goods and services received and/or rendered are initiated and approved by the requesting department in accordance with proper purchasing guidelines.

Processing of these payments occurs centrally in the City's Finance Department with payments issued bi-weekly. A register listing of these payments is typically presented each month at the second regularly scheduled meeting of the City Council. This register also includes any Electronic Funds Transfers (EFT), outgoing payroll transfers or wires issued since the previous register was presented to the City Council. Voided payments (if any) are also identified.

All payments are processed on the City's financial management software system. This system generates a payment batch register, sorted by warrant number (or EFT/Wire number), and presents the invoice amount and a description of the payment issued.

BUDGET IMPACT
Total warrants, transfers, and wires issued (net of any voided payments) during the period of October 12, 2024 through January 10, 2025 are $19,627,526.59.

LEGAL REVIEW
None required.
