AGENDA REPORT
DATE:August 20, 2024
TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT:Resolution 2024212 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Authorizing the Fire Department to Enter a Memorandum of Understanding to Provide Duty Chief Coverage for the City of Suisun City
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City of Suisun City Fire Department is having difficulty hiring and retaining staff at the battalion chief level in the current job market. As such, they have identified an Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City of Fairfield as a possible alternative to provide adequate duty chief coverage.
DISCUSSION
The Suisun City Fire Department currently has fulltime duty coverage for only one of their three shifts.
As they navigated unsuccessful recruitment efforts, their chiefs split the remaining coverage, which they have determined is unsustainable in the longterm.
Suisun City has requested an MOU with the City of Fairfield for duty chief coverage of their remaining two shifts as an alternative to hiring their own fulltime staff. If executed, the City of Fairfield agrees to provide two 48hour shifts of duty chief coverage to Suisun City for a fixed monthly cost. Fairfield's duty chief will respond to incidents in Suisun City from Fairfield, including preparation of any fire reports if required. Fairfield will respond to incidents in Suisun City using the same response criteria used in its own jurisdiction.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The fixed monthly cost to Suisun City is $8,000 per month for the City of Fairfield to provide the desired duty chief coverage. The agreement would be through June 30, 2025, at which time, the city managers and fire chiefs of each agency would evaluate an extension.
The MOU is expected to add an average of 1.2 calls per day to the Fairfield duty chief response volume. Based on 2023 and 2024 data provided by the Suisun City Fire Department, the average time Packet Page 386 of 634

The MOU is expected to add an average of 1.2 calls per day to the Fairfield duty chief response volume. Based on 2023 and 2024 data provided by the Suisun City Fire Department, the average time a duty chief spends on an incident in Suisun City is 29 minutes, with over 92% of those incidents being cleared within one hour. Monday through Friday, Fairfield has shift battalion chief coverage as well as at least one chief at the battalion chief rank or higher working business hours. With existing builtin redundancy, Fairfield is not adding staffing, apparatus, or equipment to take on the service described in the MOU. The fixed monthly fees received from Suisun City would augment Fairfield’s current staffing model.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The City Council has the option not to approve the resolution. However, should the council not approve the resolution, the City would be foregoing a mutually beneficial agreement with a neighboring jurisdiction.

This Memorandum of Understanding (hereinafter referred to as "MOU" and/or "Agreement'') is entered into and is effectfve _______________, 2024 (the "Effectfve Date") by and between the CITY OF FAIRFIELD ("Fairfield") and the CITY OF SUISUN CITY ("Suisun") (collectfvely, the "Partfes") for fire department duty chief coverage provided by FAIRFIELD to SUISUN as set forth herein.

4. This agreement is limited exclusively to duty coverage and Fairfield will not provide services for preventfon, administratfon, training, or any additfonal suppression functfons outside of our existfng mutual aid agreement.
5.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE:August 20, 2024
TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT:Discussion and Direction on Fairfield Municipal Code Chapter 10E, also known as Commercial Cannabis Business on Program Amendments and Program Operations RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive report, open discussion, and provide direction to staff.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
With the adoption of Ordinance 202007, creating Chapter 10E (also known as Commercial Cannabis Businesses) in the Fairfield Municipal Code (FMC), the City has allowed businesses in retail sales and the manufacturing of cannabis products within City limits. At the request of staff and businesses engaged in the cannabis industry, City Council is being asked to provide direction to staff on possible changes to Chapter 10E and other City policies, programs, and/or procedures.
DISCUSSION
In the past several months, City staff have met with three businesses (two operational retail cannabis dispensaries and a cannabis manufacturing entity interested in relocating to Fairfield via a previous Preliminary Approval) and received feedback on FMC 10E. Additionally, at the April 2, 2024, City Council meeting, Councilmember Vaccaro made a request to agendize a discussion of the parameters for the Preliminary Approval of a Cannabis Business Permit. Lastly, staff reached out to the currently licensed cannabis retailers in July 2024, and they received a preliminary proposal from the manufacturing entity looking to relocate to Fairfield during the same month.
In consideration of both the above as well as staff experience in administering the Commercial Cannabis Program application, permitting, and oversight process, the Community Development Department (CDD) requests direction from council on the following items:
1. Under FMC 10E.30(a), the council may authorize the city manager (CM) to promulgate regulations for the Commercial Cannabis Program; does the council give direction to allow the CM to have said authority under these specific circumstances? The creation and administration of procedures for transferring possession of a Preliminary Approval for a Cannabis Business Permit.

The creation and administration of procedures for the revocation of a Preliminary Approval for a Cannabis Business Permit.
The creation and administration of process to allow for the modification of the specific conditions identified as part of each Preliminary Approval for a Cannabis Business Permit.
2. Would the council like to amend the city’s “Policy for Naming City Facilities, Donations, Sponsorships, and Capital Campaigns” to allow businesses with a Cannabis Business Permit to provide financial sponsorships at City events? If so, does the council direct that any specific considerations or restrictions still apply (e.g., no events that are familyfocused)?
3. Would the council like to amend and/or eliminate regulations in FMC 10E.24(f) on cannabis business signage?
4. Would the council like to amend the license review/renewal process for the Commercial Cannabis Program so the frequency of renewal is no longer annual after a number of successful prior renewals?
Additionally, staff will continue to work with the city attorney to identify any changes to state and/or federal law that may impact the current application of FMC 10E. For each of the above items, should the council give direction to staff to prepare changes to the FMC 10E, CDD staff will coordinate with the CM and city attorney on crafting the appropriate verbiage and taking the necessary steps to bring each item back to the council for further consideration. The additional context for council (Attachment A) has been provided with this agenda report, which will be integrated into the presentation during the council discussion.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There are no immediate financial impacts. Should the council direct staff to bring specific issues back for further consideration, there may be financial impacts dependent on changes to FMC 10E, policies, procedures, and other matters related to the operation of cannabis businesses.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
As noted, staff have met with two operational retail cannabis dispensaries and a manufacturing entity interested in relocating to Fairfield. Should the council direct staff to engage in further steps for code and/or program changes, CDD staff will seek additional input from impacted parties (internal and external to the City government).
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Council may direct staff not to change any of the items presented pursuant to FMC 10E and/or program amendments for cannabis business approvals and operations.

Council Direction on Potential Fairfield Municipal Code and Program Amendments for Commercial Cannabis Program Operations – Supplemental Information for August 20, 2024 City Council Meeting
Prepared by:
- Dave Zellers – Director of Community and Economic Development - Dave Feinstein – Planning Manager
Date: August 20, 2024
Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide additional information to the Mayor and City Council in preparation for the upcoming discussion of Fairfield Municipal Code (FMC) 10E, also known as Commercial Cannabis Business, and the administration of the Commercial Cannabis Program. At the direction of the City Manager (CM), Community Development Department staff will present at the meeting a series of questions seeking direction from the Council; depending on the specific direction received, one or more of these items may come back to the Council for further consideration and/or legislative action in the future.
Council Discussion Items
The items to be presented at the meeting for Council discussion and direction are as follows:
Question 1 – Under FMC 10E.30(a), the City Circumstances. The CM further authorizes promulgating regulations for the Commercial Cannabis Program; does the council give direction to allow the CM to have said authority under these specific circumstances?
Background: FMC 10E.30(a) states:
“In addition to any regulations adopted by the City Council, the City Manager is authorized, with the approval of the City Council, to establish any additional rules, regulations and standards governing the issuance, denial or renewal of commercial cannabis business permits, the ongoing operation of commercial cannabis businesses, the City’s oversight of commercial cannabis businesses, or any other subject determined to be necessary to carry out the purposes of this Chapter.”
The cannabis industry is in a state of change as the economics of the sector are changing in California and other states where legalization already exists; additionally, the federal government is preparing administrative action to delist Marijuana (cannabis) as a Schedule I substance, which could fundamentally alter the current operations of every aspect of legal cannabis research, manufacturing, and consumption. The City may find itself needing to make decisions about cannabis businesses and economic opportunities thereof with more alacrity than the City Manager and staff are currently authorized under FMC 10E to do.
Direction Sought: Should language be prepared to permit the City Manager (or designee) to have additional administrative powers for the Commerce Cannabis Program as allowed by FMC 10E.30(a) under the specific instances outlined in Questions 1a, 1b, 1c, and/or 1d?

ATTACHMENT A
Supplemental Information – Commercial Cannabis Program – August 20, 2024 Council Meeting
DZ & DF
Question 1a – Creation and administration of procedures for transferring possession of a Preliminary Approval for a Cannabis Business Permit?
Background: Preliminary Approval (PA) is the entitlement granted by the City Council that establishes conditions of approval for a potential cannabis business. Once the holder(s) of a PA satisfies all conditions of the PA, they receive a Cannabis Business Permit (CBP) in a specific operational category (Retail, Manufacturing, etc.). Chapter 10E.15 of the Fairfield Municipal Code (FMC) contains provisions for the transfer of a Cannabis Business Permit, but no provisions for transfer of a Preliminary Appro val. This creates a situation where the recipient(s) of a PA can lose their interest in or ability to satisfy the PA ’s conditions of approval, but have no ability to find a viable alternate owner. Thus, the PA can remain in a permanent state of limbo.
Bringing this matter to the forefront, an entity engaged in the manufacturing of cannabis-infused candy is interested in relocating to Fairfield. They are working with a local party previously involved with the 3Bros application for a Manufacturing Commercial Cannabis Permit; the local party has subsequently negotiated the purchase of 3Bros. The successor entity (the cannabis-infused candy manufacturer) is now interested in purchasing the controlling interest in 3Bros (or coming to a similar arrangement through a partnership) and utilizing the Preliminary Approval (PA) granted to 3Bros to allow them to expedite a relocation to Fairfield. The successor entity is looking to use the same location as 3Bros was approved to use; they have indicated that as part of relocation there is an interest in amending some of the conditions of approval that 3Bros had previously agreed to as well.
Staff Recommendation: Council allows for the authority under FMC 10E.30(a) and directs staff to prepare the appropriate documentation for its review and approval at a future Council meeting. Furthermore, such language should be prepared for further discussion with City Council in coordination with the City Manager, City Attorney, and impacted City departments (ex. Police).
Question 1b – Creation and administration of procedures for if and how an expiration timeline is to be applied to a Preliminary Approval for a Cannabis Business Permit?
Background: Currently, Chapter 10E of FMC does not contain any time limits for the recipient of a Preliminary Approval (PA) to satisfy the conditions of approval and successfully obtain a Cannabis Business Permit (CBP). As such, none of the five PAs issued in 2021 for prospective CBP holders expire. Three of the four PA’s issued for Retail Cannabis Business Permit have successfully received CBPs. One retail PA and the one manufacturing PA have not become CBPs. As neither has a time limit to do so, each remains valid indefinitely. This creates uncertainty regarding the future of those permits and the tax revenues they could generate.
Staff Recommendation: Council allows for the authority under FMC 10E.30(a) and directs staff to prepare the appropriate documentation for its review and approval at a future Council meeting. Furthermore, such language should be prepared for further discussion with City Council in coordination with the City Manager, City Attorney, and impacted City departments (ex. Police).
Question 1c – Creation and administration of procedures for the revocation of a Preliminary Approval for a Cannabis Business Permit?
Packet Page 403 of 634Attachment 1 Page 2 of 4
ATTACHMENT A
Supplemental Information – Commercial Cannabis Program – August 20, 2024 Council Meeting
DZ & DF
Background: Similar in nature to Question 1b, FMC 10E.11 contains provisions for revoking an issued CBP. It does not, however, contain any provisions for rescinding a PA that has not become a CBP. Given that there are two outstanding PAs with no expiration date, and no provisions to rescind them, they can remain permanently in limbo.
Staff Recommendation: Council allows for the authority under FMC 10E.30(a) and directs staff to prepare the appropriate documentation for its review and approval at a future Council meeting. Furthermore, such language should be prepared for further discussion with City Council in coordination with the City Manager, City Attorney, and impacted City departments (ex. Police).
Question 1d – Creation and administration of procedures to allow for the modification of the specific conditions identified as part of each Preliminary Approval for a Cannabis Business Permit? Background: While almost all PAs contain a common set of approval conditions, each contains a small set of conditions that are unique to the recipient. In nearly all cases, the unique conditions implement the recipient ’s offer package of community benefits from their original application. At that time, each applicant was asked to document the ways that they would conduct a public outreach and educational programs for youth and other community groups regarding cannabis risks. They were also asked to document their commitments to local employment and the compensation and benefits their employees would receive. The PA approved for each cannabis business mandated that they implement the commitments in their application. The PA requires that each recipient enter into an agreement with the City regarding those commitments. From discussion with at least one of the retail cannabis businesses there is an interest in amendment to the unique conditions.
Furthermore, the manufacturing entity interested in relocation to Fairfield has also flagged the unique conditions in a PA for manufacturing as meriting further discussion.
Staff Recommendation: Council allows for the authority under FMC 10E.30(a) and directs staff to prepare the appropriate documentation for its review and approval at a future Council meeting. Furthermore, such language should be prepared for further discussion with City Council in coordination with the City Manager, City Attorney, and impacted City departments (ex. Police).
Question 2 – Would Council like to amend the City’s “Policy for Naming City Facilities, Donations, Sponsorships, and Capital Campaigns” to allow for businesses with a Cannabis Business Permit to provide financial sponsorships at City events? If so, does Council direct that any specific considerations or restrictions still apply (ex. no events that are family focused)?
Background: Fairfield has a policy (last updated in 2019) which bars companies that substantially derive their income from several activities, including cannabis products, from participating in naming rights, donations, and sponsorships as related to City activities, facilities, etc.
Staff Recommendation: Council direction to staff is to prepare appropriate documentation to amend the policy to allow for businesses that have a permit under the Commercial Cannabis Program to be allowed to provide financial sponsorships at City events. Furthermore, staff recommends that Council reduce restrictions on businesses engaged in the brewing, distilling, or cultivation of alcoholic beverages (ex. beer, vodka, wine).
Question 3 – Would Council like to amend and/or eliminate regulations in FMC 10E.24(f) on cannabis business signage?

Supplemental Information – Commercial Cannabis Program – August 20, 2024 Council Meeting
DZ & DF
Background: Currently, code section 10E.24(f) places stricter sign requirements on cannabis businesses than other types of business in Fairfield. Additional restrictions include prohibitions on logos, mention of the services or products offered, and temporary signs and banners. Feedback from operating retail cannabis businesses has indicated that these restrictions are impeding their marketing efforts.
Staff recommendation: Staff recommends the additional restrictions on signage for businesses in the Commercial Cannabis Program be eliminated such that these businesses would operate in future with the same signage restrictions as all other businesses in Fairfield.
Question 4 – Would Council like to amend the license review/renewal process for the Commercial Cannabis Program so the frequency of renewal is no longer annual after a number of successful prior renewals? Background: FMC 10E.10 mandates that a Cannabis Business Permit (CBP) is only good for one year and must be renewed annually. The permitting process, on an annual basis, becomes onerous for both the applicant (now an operating business) and for City staff. As the businesses receiving renewals are in operation longer and the nature of the cannabis business evolves, an extended period of licensing would benefit both the permit holder and the City.
Staff recommendation: Council direct staff to prepare language to amend the FMC such that permits will be valid for one year for the first year of operation, one year for the initial renewal, and then two or three years (per Council direction) for all future successful renewals; nothing in a revised renewal procedure would limit the city from requiring annual audits, inspections with 24 hour notices, or revocation for violating state laws or permit conditions.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE:August 20, 2024
TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT:Public Hearing; and
Resolution 2024213 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Power Purchase Agreement with Onyx Development Group LLC. for the Provision and Operation of a Solar Field at the Waterman Water Treatment Plant RECOMMENDED ACTION
Hold public hearing and adopt resolution.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
City staff is seeking approval to enter into a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Onyx Development Group LLC. (Onyx), which also operates under Onyx Renewable Partners L.P., for the provision and operation of a solar field at the Waterman Water Treatment Plant (Waterman WTP).
DISCUSSION
Fairfield Municipal Utilities staff routinely seek ways to reduce operational costs for the utility and its customers. The production of drinking water is an energy intensive process that has led staff to investigate solar energy as a means to reduce this cost. Staff conducted a study to determine the feasibility of investing in solar infrastructure at the Waterman WTP. The focus of the study involved the operation of a 1.25megawatt solar field with a corresponding 450kilowatt storage battery. The intent of the solar field and battery is to reduce the general electrical demand of the Waterman WTP from Pacific Gas & Electric’s (PG&E) grid and minimize the number of electrical demand spikes, as these spikes increase the overall cost per kilowatt hour charged by PG&E. The study yielded positive results and an application was filed to be grandfathered into the PG&E Net Energy Metering (NEM) 2.0 program before its sunset date to receive maximum savings. Staff must meet regulatory deadlines to complete the project in order to maintain the NEM 2.0 status.
Based on the results of the study, staff is seeking to move forward with a designbuild, PPA process and model for the solar infrastructure. Under the PPA model, the project soft costs and the cost of the equipment and construction are folded into the PPA. Once the solar equipment is in operation, the City pays the solar contractor/operator a monthly fee arranged in the PPA, and the City benefits through the Packet Page 441 of 634

Under the PPA model, the project soft costs and the cost of the equipment and construction are folded into the PPA. Once the solar equipment is in operation, the City pays the solar contractor/operator a monthly fee arranged in the PPA, and the City benefits through the cost savings to its electrical energy over the term of the PPA. The term of the PPA is an anticipated 25 years, after which the City assumes full ownership and operation of the solar equipment. This model does not require the same cash flow burden as the traditional capital purchase model.
In September 2023, City staff worked in conjunction with TerraVerde Energy, an expert in the solar industry, to release a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the solar project at the Waterman WTP. Seven firms submitted proposals in response to the RFP. After the initial proposal review, four of the responding firms were invited to submit their best and final offers (BAFO). All four firms responded to the BAFO request. Staff determined that Onyx presented an offer that is the most advantageous to the City.
Staff presented an initial solar array layout for consideration at the May 7, 2024, council meeting. After working with local residents, the solar array layout was revised and situated further south on the property.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The PPA will result in a net positive for the City. The City would pay a proposed fixed rate of $0.121 per kilowatt hour to operate the solar field, which generates a savings in energy costs by reducing the amount of energy that is supplied by PG&E at a higher cost. Exactly how much will be saved over the term depends on a number of assumptions, but the City is expected to save an approximate $9.9 million over the life of the PPA.
PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
Staff published a notice of public hearing for the power purchase agreement in accordance with California Government Code 4217.12, sent letters to neighborhood residents indicating the revised solar plan and the public hearing, and filed the standard California Environmental Quality Act notice of exemption with the County.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The council may choose not to authorize the execution of the PPA; however, the City will no longer maintain the ability to meet regulatory deadlines and maintain its NEM 2.0 status for the project.

Scenario”.
D. Provider’s Solar Facility Output Guarantee. Commencing with the second (2nd) Contract Year after the Commercial Operation Date of the System, and for each Contract Year thereafter during the Initial Term, the aggregate metered Solar Facility Output for the previous Contract Year (the “Measurement Period”) shall be at least ninety percent (90%) of the Annual Production Estimate for such Measurement Period for the Solar Facility as defined in Exhibit B (“Output Guarantee”); provided, the Annual Production Estimate is adjusted for actual weather conditions experienced at the Site, and the Output Guarantee for any Measurement Period will be reduced by the estimated generation of the Solar Facility that would have been generated during such Measurement Period, but was not generated, due to one or more of the following causes: (i) Outage; (ii) the actions or omissions of the Distribution Utility or the request or direction of the Distribution Utility; (iii) a Force Majeure event; (iv) buildings or structures constructed after the Commercial Operation Date overshadowing or otherwise blocking access or sunlight to the Solar Facility on or at the Site; (v) a breach of this Agreement by City; (vi) any action or inaction by City that directly causes such reduction in generation (including but not limited to, pursuant to Sections 5.F, 11.C and 11.D below); or (v) a temporary outage pursuant to Section 11.E below.
If the Solar Facility Output during any Measurement Period does not equal or exceed the Output Guarantee for such Measurement Period, Provider shall include in its next invoice to City (and in the final invoice for any credit owed for the final Contract Year) a credit for the Energy Shortfall Amount. Alternatively, City has the option to request that the Energy Shortfall Amount be paid by check independently of an invoice.
E. Provider’s Battery Systems Guarantee. Commencing with the first (1st) Contract Year after the Commercial Operation Date of the System, and for each Contract Year until the end of the tenth (10th) Contract Year of the Initial Term (the “Battery Guarantee Term”), the percentage of real time, measured and reported cumulatively by the supervisory control and data acquisition system, that one hundred percent (100%) of the nameplate power capacity of the Battery Systems (the “Battery Availability”) is available for the previous Contract Year (the Packet Page 452 of 634Attachment 2 Page 7 of 160
5 Measurement Period) shall be equivalent to at least ninety percent (90%) of the total real time for such Measurement Period (8760 hours) (“Battery Systems Guarantee”); provided that, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Battery Availability shall be reduced each Contract Year to account for the normal and expected degradation of the Battery System in accordance with manufacturer specifications; and provided further that the Battery Systems Guarantee for any Measurement Period will be reduced by the estimated real time that the Battery Systems would have been available during such Measurement Period, but was not available, due to one or more of the following causes: (i) an Outage; (ii) the actions or omissions of the Distribution Utility or the request or direction of the Distribution Utility; (iii) a Force Majeure event; (iv) a breach of this Agreement by City, (v) any action or inaction by City that directly causes such reduction in generation (including but not limited to, pursuant to Sections 5.F, 11.C and 11.D below); or (vi) a temporary outage pursuant to Section 11.E below. Real time shall be measured in increments of hours. Provider additionally guarantees that during the Battery Guarantee Term, the Battery Systems will be available to provide at least the number of cycles per Contract Year (“Guaranteed Cycles”) indicated in Exhibit C when using the full Battery Systems kWh Rating. The Battery Systems shall be cycled in accordance with standard industry practices to maximize electricity cost savings to the City. For the absence of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Battery Guarantee Term shall terminate at the end of the tenth (10th) Contract Year, and that beginning on the eleventh (11th) Contract Year neither the Battery Systems Guarantee nor the Guaranteed Cycles shall apply. Provider shall either replace or augment the Battery Systems at the end of the tenth (10th) Contract Year to mitigate the degradation of the Battery Systems. At least thirty (30) days prior to the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Commercial Operation Date, the Parties shall meet and endeavor in good faith to negotiate a Battery Systems Guarantee for the remaining fifteen (15) Contract Years of the Agreement to preserve the economic value of the Agreement to both Parties.
During the Battery Guarantee Term, if the percentage of real time, measured and reported cumulatively by the supervisory control and data acquisition system, that one hundred percent (100%) of the nameplate power capacity of the Battery Systems is available during any Measurement Period does not equal or exceed the Battery Systems Guarantee for such Measurement Period (each of the Battery Availability and the Battery Systems Guarantee as shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 4.E above), Provider shall include in its next invoice to City a credit for the Battery Systems Energy Shortfall Amount. Alternatively, City has the option to request that the Battery Systems Energy Shortfall Amount be paid by check independently of an invoice.
F. Resale of Output. If at any time during the term of this Agreement, the City reduces its consumption requirements for Solar Facility Output or Battery Systems Output and the Parties determine that the Distribution Utility is willing to purchase Solar Facility Output or Battery Systems Output pursuant to any current or future program of the Distribution Utility for net metering, energy credit, offsets or revenue, City, at its option, may sell Solar Facility Output or Battery Systems Output to the Distribution Utility pursuant to such program and in accordance with Section 4(G) below. If applicable and required by law, City may also request that Provider use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the City and the Distribution Utility, provided that nothing in the foregoing shall permit the City to sell Solar Facility Output or Battery Systems Output to the Distribution Utility if such sale would limit Provider’s rights and interests in and to this Agreement.
Packet Page 453 of 634Attachment 2 Page 8 of 160
6 G. Net Metering, Credits and Storage of Output. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit City’s ability during the term of this Agreement to participate in or otherwise take advantage of any current or future program which may enable City to store Output or Battery Systems Output at any Site or to export Solar Facility Output or Battery Systems Output to any other site or to the Distribution Utility for any available energy credits, offsets, or revenue. City will give reasonable notice to Provider of its intention to undertake any such project or program and will coordinate with the Provider to ensure that the System, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all associated warranties and guarantees are preserved, provided that City shall reimburse Provider for any documented and reasonable costs and expenses associated with such project or program (including, if applicable, reimbursement of: lost revenue at City Suspension Rate, loss of any Environmental Financial Incentives, and/or costs associated with any modification, removal, relocation, or temporary or permanent deactivation of the System or any portion thereof).
H. Grid Services Programs. From time to time, Provider or City may identify demand response or similar grid services programs, whereby the Battery Systems can help meet demands of the electrical grid, or improve its reliability, by charging or discharging the Battery Systems (or agreeing to make the Battery Systems available for charging or discharging) for which the Provider is eligible to participate (collectively, a “Grid Services Program”). Provider shall only enroll the Battery Systems in any Grid Services Program upon written agreement from City. Nothing in this paragraph shall prohibit City from undertaking participation in Grid Services Programs directly when eligible and Provider shall cooperate with City in ensuring that the Battery Systems operates to maximize revenue in relation to any Grid Services Program participation in accordance with Section 11(B), provided that City shall reimburse Provider for any documented and reasonable costs and expenses associated with such project or program (including, if applicable, reimbursement of: lost revenue at City Suspension Rate, loss of any Environmental Financial Incentives, and/or costs associated with any modification, removal, relocation, or temporary or permanent deactivation of the System or any portion thereof.
I. Outages. Provider may suspend delivery of Solar Facility Output or Battery Systems Output as reasonably necessary for testing, maintaining, replacing and repairing the System, or in response to any Distribution Utility directive or dispatch order (an “Outage”).
Provider shall take all steps necessary to minimize the duration and scope of any such Outage. In the event that an Outage is caused or prolonged by Provider’s negligent act or omission, Provider shall compensate City for the difference between the total electricity cost to the City for the applicable period of outage caused or prolonged by Provider’s negligent act or omission and the Power Price for each 15 minute interval that the Power Price is less than the electricity cost to the City. In such event, City shall provide Provider with evidence of the pricing for such applicable periods in the form of Distribution Utility bills during the outage period, and Provider shall provide the calculation and supporting documentation for determining these amounts, to the reasonable satisfaction of City. Except as set forth herein, City waives claims related to City’s costs of purchasing energy to replace what would have been produced by the System but for such Outages, along within any associated net metering, or similar, benefits.
If an Outage occurs under this Section and a payment is due from Provider to City, Provider shall include in its next invoice(s) to City (and in the final invoice for any credit owed for the final Packet Page 454 of 634Attachment 2 Page 9 of 160

Packet Page 465 of 634Attachment 2 Page 20 of 160
18 D. Construction; Commercial Operation. Promptly upon receipt of the Notice to Proceed to construction from City, Provider shall commence construction of the System, and shall cause the submission of final electrical clearance to the Distribution Utility prior to the net energy metering (NEM) deadline which is set for April 15, 2026 (the “NEM Submission Deadline”).
Provider shall cause complete installation and start-up of Commercial Operation thereof on or before the date as indicated in Attachment C in Exhibit F (the “Commercial Operation Deadline”). The Commercial Operation Deadline shall be on or prior to June 15, 2026. Prior to declaring Commercial Operation, Provider shall achieve the following:
1) Effect the execution, in coordination with City, of all agreements required for interconnection of the System with the Distribution Utility, including, without limitation, the Interconnection Agreement and net metering agreement if applicable; and
2) Ensure that all necessary connections and equipment are installed in compliance with all applicable codes and standards, and that Provider has procured or caused the complete installation of all necessary equipment and protection devices to enable delivery of Solar Facility Output and the Battery Systems Output from the Delivery Point to City’s facilities.
3) Obtain or cause to be obtained all necessary Permits, entitlements, contracts and agreements required for the operation and maintenance of the System and the sale and delivery of Solar Facility Output and the Battery Systems Output to City.
4) Provide written confirmation that (i) all required commissioning has been completed; (ii) City and its agents have been provided access to the monitoring data for the System at the level required by this Agreement; and (iii) all closeout activities outlined in Section 7 of Exhibit F have been completed.
E. Commercial Operation. The “Commercial Operation Date” shall be the date on which Provider accurately notifies City of the fact that the System is mechanically and electrically complete and operational and providing Solar Facility Output and Battery Systems Output through the Meter(s) to the Delivery Point under approved and executed Distribution Utility Interconnection Agreement and that Provider has met all of the requirements in Section 6(D) above. Provider shall cause the Commercial Operation Date to occur on or before the Commercial Operation Deadline.
The City shall be solely liable for any delays caused by the City or the City’s contractor(s).
Any delay caused by the City or the City’s contractor(s) shall result in a day-for-day push of the Project Schedule. The City shall be solely liable for any demobilization and remobilization costs incurred due to any delay caused by the City or the City’s contractor(s). For the absence of doubt, if the City has not completed the High Lift upgrade project (PM#35228024) on or before March 29, 2026, both the NEM Submission Deadline and the Commercial Operation Deadline shall be automatically extended to provide for the delays to Provider and Provider’s contractor(s) in completing the work. Provider shall deliver to City a revised Project Schedule, and any Delay Liquidated Damages shall be assessed solely based on such revised Project Schedule.
Packet Page 466 of 634Attachment 2 Page 21 of 160
19 Provider shall be solely liable to City for any delay by Provider or Provider’s contractor(s) in completing the work, including any costs of City associated with impacts to the Site or a delay in the Commercial Operation Date.
If Commercial Operation has not commenced on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the Commercial Operation Deadline (as may be extended as provided herein), City may, but shall not be required to, assess Delay Liquidated Damages against Provider in an amount equal to $300 per Day. If Commercial Operation has not commenced on or before the ninetieth (90th) day following the Commercial Operation Deadline, City may, but shall not be required to, terminate this Agreement without triggering the default provisions of this Agreement as to City or any other City liability, including any default provision which would otherwise require payment of the Termination Value, provided that the City shall not terminate this Agreement if the City determines, in its reasonable discretion, that Provider continues to diligently pursue, using commercially reasonable efforts, the achievement of Commercial Operation. If submission of final electrical clearance to the Distribution Utility has not occurred on or before the NEM Submission Deadline, City may, but shall not be required to, assess Delay Liquidated Damages against Provider in an amount equal to $300 per Day.
The cost to City for administration, inspection, mileage, and other similar items would be extremely difficult to determine. For that reason, additional liquidated damages, known as Administrative Delay Liquidated Damages may also be applied to compensate City for undue delays in the completion of punch list items, Final Binder (as defined in the General Conditions and Technical Specifications attached hereto as Exhibit F), site clean-up, and demobilization, after Commercial Operation has been achieved. Provider shall complete site clean-up and demobilization within thirty (30) days of Commercial Operation Date. At any time after the expiration of such 30-day period, the City shall provide written notice to Provider of any outstanding work the City reasonably determines Provider must complete. If Provider has not cured such issues within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice (as shall be extended by an additional fifteen (15) days if Provider is diligently pursuing such cure), Administrative Delay Liquidated Damages shall be imposed in the amount of $250 per day. Charges will be assessed until City reasonably agrees that all outstanding work has been completed.
F. Extension of Commercial Operation Deadline. Provider may request in writing an extension of the Commercial Operation Deadline. At the time of the request, Provider shall present City in writing with the reason for delay, confirmation that Commercial Operation shall commence within the requested extension time as well as evidence demonstrating that the delay in achieving the Commercial Operation Deadline could not have been reasonably avoided by Provider.
Provider’s written request must also state the date on which Provider reasonably believes Commercial Operation will be achieved following such extension. The approval of the request will be at the sole discretion of City and if approved by City, Provider shall pay to City a non-refundable extension fee of $350 for each request, provided that no extension fee shall be payable and the Commercial Operation Deadline shall automatically be extended by one day for each day of delay caused by: (i) a Force Majeure event, (ii) any action of the City that directly caused such delay (including but not limited to pursuant to Sections 5.F and 5.I above), or (iii) any delay by City in Packet Page 467 of 634Attachment 2 Page 22 of 160
20 obtaining the City Permits before September 30, 2024. To the extent that Provider fails to meet the Commercial Operation Deadline as automatically extended or extended by City pursuant to this Section, City shall have the options to terminate or assess liquidated damages as set forth in subsection E above.
7. Ownership of System, Output, Green Attributes and Environmental Financial Incentives.
A. Ownership of System. Title to the System shall remain with Provider during the Term unless and until City exercises its option to purchase the System as set forth herein. None of the System, including, but not limited to any components thereof may be sold, leased, assigned, mortgaged, pledged or otherwise alienated or encumbered by City. City shall not cause or permit the System or any part thereof to become subject to any lien, encumbrance, pledge, levy or attachment arising by, under or through City. If there is any mortgage or fixture filing against the Site which could reasonably be construed as attaching to the System as a fixture of the Site, City shall provide or procure, at Provider’s request, a disclaimer, release or subordination and non- disturbance agreement from such lien holder. City shall not unreasonably withhold consents to the filing by Provider, on behalf of City, of a disclaimer of the System as a fixture of the Site in the office where real estate records are customarily filed in the jurisdiction of the Site. Provider shall bear all risk of loss with respect to the System, except for losses arising from the negligence or willful acts or omissions by City, or their agents or employees. Provider shall be solely responsible for the System operation and maintenance in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and Permits. Provider shall not be responsible for the cost or expense of any maintenance required as a direct result of City’s negligence or willful misconduct.
B. Ownership of Output, Green Attributes and Environmental Financial Incentives.
Provider is the exclusive owner of any Environmental Financial Incentives associated with the construction, ownership and operation of the System. City will assign its interest (if any) in all such credits and other financial incentives to Provider. City is the exclusive owner of, and may assign or sell in its sole discretion, all Green Attributes, including, but not limited to, Renewable Energy Certificates (“REC”), and REC Reporting Rights, attributable to the System and the Solar Facility Output or Battery Systems Output therefrom. Without additional charge to City, Provider shall take and bear the costs of all steps necessary to secure and perfect City’s interest in the Green Attributes, including, but not limited to, registering the RECs with WREGIS. The Parties agree to subsequently negotiate in good faith the ownership of any additional benefit or incentive associated with this Agreement which did not exist at the time this Agreement was entered into.
8. Payment.

The Power Price set forth in Exhibit B(1) and (2) includes consideration for reimbursement of Development Costs in the amount of $385,000.
The City shall, at the City’s sole cost and expense, install a new service transformer in connection with the Distribution Utility Upgrades as per the Supplemental Review of the Interconnection Agreement for the High Lift upgrade project (PM#35228024) with an estimated cost to be paid to the Distribution Utility of $213,528 (the “Transformer Cost”). The City shall reimburse Provider, at cost, for any amounts paid by Provider to the Distribution Utility for the Transformer Cost.
Provider assumed that the total cost to be paid to the Distribution Utility in connection with the Distribution Utility Upgrades would be $4,000. If the actual cost reasonably incurred by Provider for Distribution Utility Upgrades exceeds $4,000, then Provider shall be entitled to a proportionate increase of the Power Price in an amount of $0.0005/kWh for each additional $10,000 increase in cost. If the actual cost reasonably incurred by Provider for Distribution Utility Upgrades is less than $4,000, City shall be entitled to a proportionate decrease of the Power Price in an amount of $0.0005/kWh per $10,000 decrease in cost. Provider shall work diligently with City to minimize the costs for Distribution Utility Upgrades at all points of the Project.
The Power Price set forth in this Exhibit B is based on certain assumptions set forth in Section 4(C) of the Agreement, and the Parties acknowledge that the Power Price may, if (and only if) the assumptions provided in Section 4(C) are inaccurate, require an adjustment. Provider Packet Page 495 of 634Attachment 2 Page 50 of 160
48 shall deliver to City reasonable evidence of any increases in cost incurred by Provider to re-design, construct, install or maintain the System as a result of such assumptions being inaccurate, provided that City and Provider acknowledge and agree that an executed change order delivered by Provider to a contractor or subcontractor shall constitute reasonable evidence of such cost increase. The Power Price shall be adjusted as follows:
1. If such cost increase is due to unforeseen conditions or groundwork at the Site (including but not limited to excavation/circumvention of underground obstacles), and such cost increases were not mitigated by the City, then Provider shall be entitled to a proportionate increase of the Power Price in an amount of $0.0005/kWh for each additional $10,000 increase in cost.
2. If Hazardous Substances are discovered at the Site, and such cost increases were not mitigated by the City, then Provider shall be entitled to a proportionate increase of the Power Price in an amount of $0.0005/kWh for each additional $10,000 increase in cost to Provider to re-design, construct, install or maintain the System.
3. If such cost increase is due to the failure by City to obtain the City Permits by September 30, 2024, assuming timely delivery of documents needed from the Provider to the City as agreed upon in the project schedule, then Provider shall be entitled to a proportionate increase of the Power Price in an amount of $0.0005/kWh for each additional $10,000 increase in cost to Provider to redesign, construct, install or maintain the System.
4. If such cost increase is due to the inaccuracy of any information provided by City and relied upon by Provider, then Provider shall be entitled to a proportionate increase of the Power Price in an amount of $0.0005/kWh for each additional $10,000 increase in cost to Provider to re-design, construct, install or maintain the System.

SUNSYS HES L©
Modular outdoor Energy Storage System
from 50 kVA / 186 kWh to 550 kVA / 1116 kWh systems
Safety certified
The system combines 2 top quality
components to deliver a winning formula.
CATL EnerOne Liquid-Cooled Battery:
the SUNSYS B-Cab L uses stable Lithium
Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery chemistry. The
battery has passed the large-scale fire test
UL9540A.
Socomec Power Conversion System (PCS):
the SUNSYS C-Cab L uses a safe conversion
technology to limit the common mode noise effect.
SUNSYS HES L is compliant with UL9540-2020:
the latest and most stringent safety standard
for Energy Storage Systems, in both Canada
and the USA.
Extreme flexibility
The SUNSYS HES L system is based on
2 standard cabinets – C-Cab and B-Cab –
that can be combined to make dozens of
certified combinations.
In addition, the installation can be upgraded with:
- increased power with the addition of one or
more 50 kVA power modules in the C-Cab
or even additional C-Cabs,
- increased energy with the addition of B-Cabs.
Fast and error-free installation
Battery cabinets are shipped completely
assembled with internal modules mounted –
for maximum quality with the minimum
transportation costs and installation time.
Also, for an error-free installation:
- drilling plates are provided to prepare the
locations of the drillings,
- the intelligence (PMS, BMS & EMS) is
integrated inside the C-Cab to reduce
complexity,
- DC connecting kits are available to
simplify the connection between the
converters and batteries.
Easy maintenance
Reduced maintenance with HVAC replaced
by air filters that can easily be maintained by
the customer.
Seamless service during maintenance
as one C-Cab L module can be changed
without interruption whilst keeping the others
operational.
Furthermore, one battery rack can be
disconnected for module replacement
keeping the others operational.
SUNSYS HES L is an outdoor system that merges proven individual technologies to create a more efficient all-in-one solution. Partnering with CATL, Socomec has selected the EnerOne liquid cooled LFP battery system as the optimum battery for SUNSYS Hybrid Energy Storage.
SUNSYS HES L meets the most stringent safety standards.

FROM:David Gassaway, City Manager
SUBJECT:Public Hearing; and
First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance 202406 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Approving the Fifth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Development Agreement Between the City of Fairfield and Canon Station LLC Regarding Land in the Train Station Specific Plan Area
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Hold public hearing; waive full reading, read by title only and introduce ordinance for first reading.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
A public hearing on the request of Canon Station, LLC for a 5th Amendment to the existing Amended and Restated Development Agreement between the City and Canon Station, LLC. The Amended and Restated Development Agreement covers approximately 1,570 acres of land located approximately onehalf mile east of Peabody Road on Vanden Road's west and east sides. The Amendment proposes to increase the combined total of the 1% ad valorem property tax and all Community Facility District (CFD) special taxes from a maximum of 1.65% to 1.75%. The proposed tax rate maximum would be applicable to future homes built within Planning Area 5 of the Train Station Specific Plan (TSSP), the eastern expansion of the One Lake neighborhood.
DISCUSSION
Background Information:On August 16, 2011, the City Council entered into a Development Agreement (DA) with Canon Station LLC regarding approximately 1,570 acres within the TSSP Area.
Canon Station LLC is the master developer of the One Lake neighborhood, known as Planning Area 4 and Planning Area 5 in the TSSP. The DA was subsequently amended in 2012. Key provisions of the DA, with amendments, include the following:
1. Guarantees for the right to develop up to 3,101 dwelling units and 4.6 million square feet of office and industrial building floor area; and
2. Transfer of approximately 100 acres of Cityowned land to Canon Station LLC in exchange for the Packet Page 606 of 634

The DA was subsequently amended in 2012. Key provisions of theDA, with amendments, include the following:1. Guarantees for the right to develop up to 3,101 dwelling units and 4.6 million square feet of office and industrial building floor area; and
2. Transfer of approximately 100 acres of Cityowned land to Canon Station LLC in exchange for the 204acre Kelley Property for public park and open space uses, monetary compensation, and other considerations; and
3. Construction of various public improvements by Canon Station LLC, including a new fire station, park improvements, and road improvements; and
4. Establishment of various Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) to pay for infrastructure and municipal services, including public safety (police and fire), park maintenance, and open space maintenance; and
5. The requirement that Canon Station LLC preserve more than 1,000 acres in open spaces within and in the vicinity of the TSSP Area. Preservation is to be achieved by establishing a conservation easement on these lands.
On December 16, 2014, the City and Canon Station LLC amended and restated the DA. The key provisions above, however, were not modified. Since then, the council has approved four amendments to the 2015 Amended and Restated DA. The amendments modified a collection of topics in the DA, including conservation easement recordation timing, CFD language, a biological mitigation exhibit, infrastructure improvement timing, and procedural components. Canon Station LLC is now seeking a Fifth Amendment.
Proposed Amendment:Canon Station LLC seeks to amend one section of the DA addressing Infrastructure CFDs. An Infrastructure CFD is a special taxing district created to finance public infrastructure and community facilities to benefit the residents within a specific area. Improvements may include roads, utilities, parks, fire stations, etc. CFDs finance such projects through the issuance of municipal bonds, which are repaid over time through the special taxes levied on properties within the district. These taxes are in addition to regular property taxes and are used exclusively for the purposes outlined in the CFD’s formation documents. Property owners may petition and vote to form or adjust a CFD. In this instance, Canon Station LLC is seeking a DA amendment to raise the maximum combined tax rate, which includes the State's 1% property tax base and all CFD special taxes. Canon Station LLC seeks to raise the combined tax rate from 1.65% to 1.75%.
Canon Station LLC is requesting the amendment to ensure enough funding sources to support the infrastructure required for the One Lake neighborhoods. The actual costs of construction for the required infrastructure have significantly increased since the DA was established, and the current
1.65% total tax maximum is no longer sufficient. Canon Station LLC, working with their bond counsel, the City’s bond counsel, and the City’s finance director, has determined that an increase of 0.1% to a maximum tax of 1.75% will provide both the funding capabilities to support the required infrastructure and preserve capacity for future potential elective taxes. Striking this balance is key to ensuring that future residents of the One Lake neighborhoods are not overburdened by taxes. An example illustration of how much a resident can expect to pay is as follows: For every $100,000 of assessed property value, the homeowner currently pays $1,650 (1.65%). With the increase, the homeowner would pay $1,750 (1.75%). For comparison purposes, it should be noted that there are other areas within the City of Fairfield that have total tax percentages approved by the council of over 2%.
General Plan and Specific Plan Consistency:Government Code Section 65868.5 requires that a DA be consistent with the General Plan and any Specific Plan. The General Plan designates land within the TSSP as the Train Station Specific Plan “Special Study Area.” The Specific Plan identifies the land subject to the DA as Planning Areas 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Of the Planning Areas listed, 4 and 5 are slated for residential development and are subject to the proposed 1.75% tax maximum. The council previously found the existing DA to be consistent with the General Plan and Specific Plan. The General Plan includes policies that require new residential development to fund the cost of its infrastructure needs. Policy 1445 of the TSSP authorizes the use of CFDs to fund infrastructure that is not otherwise funded by a Development Impact Fee. The amendment increases the maximum assessment to 1.75% Packet Page 607 of 634

Ensuring that the new development within the district will be able to pay the anticipated infrastructure costs.
Environmental Review:An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was previously prepared and certified by the City for the TSSP in 2011. The City previously found that the impacts of development under the existing DA are within the scope of the EIR certified by the Council in 2011 for the TSSP. The proposed changes are consistent with the TSSP and do not pose environmental impacts greater than those found to be within the scope of the TSSP’s EIR.
