CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Award Construction Contract for the Wastewater Shop Space Optimization Project

2. Resolution of appropriation to appropriate funds for the Wastewater Shop Space Optimization Project.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent
Approved for September 22, 2026 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Following a formal competitive bidding process, Waisman Construction, Inc. (Waisman) was determined to be the lowest responsive bidder for the Wastewater Shop Space Optimization Project. The project aims to modernize and optimize the existing Public Works Wastewater Shop office space to better support current operational needs. The scope includes reconfiguring the existing layout to provide a functional conference room and additional private offices, improving overall space utilization, and enhancing collaboration and productivity within the workspace.

The purpose of this item is to seek City Council’s approval to award a construction contract to Waisman for their base bid amount of $445,500, plus a 10% construction reserve of $44,550. A resolution of appropriation will be required to appropriate the additional funds necessary for the project.

RECOMMENDATION
Approve a motion authorizing the City Manager to execute a construction contract with Waisman Construction, Inc. for the Wastewater Shop Space Optimization Project, in the amount of $445,500, plus a 10% construction reserve of $44,550, and a resolution of appropriation providing adequate funding for this project. 29 of 410

ANALYSIS
The Public Works Corporation Yard, located at 541 W. Chevy Chase Drive, was built in 1960 and serves as the primary office and shop space for the Public Works Maintenance Services Division, including the wastewater shop. The Wastewater Maintenance team is responsible for operating, inspecting, maintaining, and repairing the city’s sewer and storm drain systems, including routine cleaning, preventative maintenance, and emergency response to blockages, overflows, and other system issues. The shop supports a staff of 13 employees and serves multiple operational functions, including daily crew meetings, work assignments, supervisor offices, locker and changing facilities, staff break and lunch space, tool and equipment storage, minor equipment maintenance, training and meetings. Due to the number of critical functions housed within a limited space, improvements are needed to better support staff operations, improve efficiency, and enhance the overall working environment.

The proposed partial tenant improvement will reconfigure and renovate the existing wastewater shop space to better meet the team’s operational needs. The project includes demolishing and renovating two existing offices to create a new conference room, constructing three new private offices within the existing tenant space, and making necessary upgrades to partitions, doors, finishes, lighting, mechanical, electrical, and low- voltage systems.

The HVAC improvements will utilize the shop’s existing all-electric heating and air- conditioning system, which does not use natural gas. The existing HVAC unit will remain in place and will be reconnected and made fully operational to provide both heating and cooling to the renovated areas. The project will also install new ductwork, supply diffusers, return-air grilles, dampers, thermostatic controls, and associated testing and balancing to serve the revised floor plan.

Overall, the project will enhance the functionality, safety, energy performance, and efficiency of the wastewater shop for daily operations, staff coordination, and long-term maintenance needs.

On May 12, 2026, The City Council adopted the specifications and directed the City Clerk to advertise for bids.

On June 3, 2026, the Public Works Department hosted a pre-bid job walk and fourteen contractors attended.

On June 24, 2026, the city received five bids as follows:

1. MODAA, Inc. $ 440,650.00
2 Waisman Construction, Inc. $ 445,500.00
3 Spiridon Group, Inc. $ 459,198.00

4. ARC Construction, Inc. $ 510,907.00

5. Ian Thomas Group $1,045,000.00

On July 2, 2026, the city received a bid protest concerning MODAA Inc., the apparent low bidder. The protest was reviewed and evaluated in accordance with the specifications, contract documents, and applicable law. Based on this review, the city determined that MODAA Inc.’s bid was non-responsive and ineligible for award due to a material deficiency in its bid bond. As a result of this determination, staff evaluated the next lowest bid received from Waisman. Staff subsequently reviewed and evaluated Waisman’s bid and confirmed that Waisman submitted the lowest responsive bid and is a responsible bidder, therefore, staff recommend awarding the contract to Waisman.

Waisman holds active State of California General Building (B), Insulation and Acoustical (C-2), and Electrical (C-10) contractor licenses, all of which are in good standing.

The Wastewater Shop Space Optimization Project is anticipated to be completed within a three-month timeframe.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The work will be coordinated with Waisman and Public Works Department staff to minimize disruptions to daily operations and public services. The wastewater shop is a unique facility where maintenance personnel are directly responsible for the day-to-day upkeep of the city’s sewer system. Accordingly, the project has been planned to incorporate improvements that support operational needs, maintain functionality during construction, and enhance the overall work environment for staff.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Wastewater Shop Space Optimization Project will cost $445,500, plus a 10% construction reserve of $44,550, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $490,050, of which $427,100 was included as a part of the FY 2026-27 budget. Therefore, staff requests an appropriation of $62,950 from the Sewer Fund balance, as outlined below:

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Authorization to accept grant from the State of California Office of Traffic Safety for the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved for September 22, 2026 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
OTS has awarded the Police Department grant funding in the amount of $352,000 for the 2026-2027 STEP. These funds will be used to address primary collision factors, distracted driving, and impaired driving, as well as supporting traffic education and community engagement efforts.

RECOMMENDATION
Accept $352,000 in grant funding from OTS for STEP and authorize the City Manager, or a designee, to execute the necessary agreements, certification, and other documents required to accept the grant.

ANALYSIS
STEP uses best practice strategies to reduce the number of persons killed and injured in crashes involving alcohol and other primary crash factors. The funded strategies may include enforcement operations focused on primary collision factors, distracted driving, and impaired driving, as well as traffic education efforts and community engagement opportunities. These strategies are designed to earn media attention, thus enhancing the overall deterrent effect.

In January 2026, staff submitted a grant request to OTS to continue funding STEP in the City of Glendale. After reviewing the proposal through a competitive process, the Office of Traffic Safety advised that the City of Glendale is eligible for $352,000 in STEP funding for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. The city will utilize the majority of the grant funding to pay overtime for police officers, police services officers, support staff, and supervisors when engaged in field-based education and enforcement activities. The grant period is between October 1, 2026, and September 30, 2027, and the funds will be used for the following operations:
• Four DUI/Driver’s License checkpoints;
• Fourteen saturation patrols focused on impaired driving; • Ten traffic enforcement operations focused on primary collision factor violations and other Vehicle Code violations;
• Six enforcement operations focused on distracted driving (cell phone use/texting) violations;
• Three “Know Your Limits” alcohol consumption education operations; • Two DUI collaborative enforcement operations;
• Four Community Collaboration Engagement objectives; and • Two traffic safety educational presentations to the community.

Of the grant total, $25,000 is earmarked to reimburse the City for expenses related to capturing stop data pursuant to the Racial Identity and Profiling Act of 2015. The remaining funds will be used for training, travel, collaborative OTS meetings, operational supplies, and contract services.

RECOMMENDATION
That City Council adopt the proposed mural ordinance.

ANALYSIS
On August 25, 2026, Council introduced an ordinance proposing a new chapter to Title 30, Chapter 30.38 to the Glendale Zoning Code (Title 30), entitled “Murals”, repealing section 30.33.230, and amending sections 2.12.030, 30.33.020, 30.40.010, 30.40.020,

The proposed Zoning Code amendments update the existing mural design review standards and establish a clear set of procedures for mural installation, maintenance and de-installation.

After reviewing the staff report and proposed ordinance, hearing the detailed staff presentation, and receiving public testimony at the August 25, 2026 public hearing, Council requested staff to research other municipalities’ permit fees associated with murals. Staff prepared a memorandum which was sent to City Council that included background on the assessment and development of the City’s adopted mural permit, mural design review, and mural renewal fees, as well as the requested information regarding other municipalities’ fees related to murals for reference (EXHIBIT 2).

Councilmember Asatryan introduced the proposed ordinance. The introduced ordinance is now being presented to City Council for adoption. The Council Resolution includes adoption of an additional permit extension fee that is 25% of the mural permit fee, if the extension includes no design changes or alterations to the mural as recommended by the Planning Commission. Pursuant to the City’s Charter, adoption of Zoning Code amendments requires a four-fifths vote of the City Council.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The Zoning Code requires public notice when Council considers adoption of amendments to the Zoning Code and/or the General Plan. Staff has published all required notices for this hearing, as well as for the Planning Commission hearing held on July 15, 2026.

In addition, an email blast was sent to the 4,000+ subscribers on the arts & culture email list, including artists, arts organizations and interested parties, prior to the City Council meeting. The notices informed recipients of the proposed amendments and invited public participation and comment.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Comprehensive Citywide Fee Schedule will be amended to establish a mural permit extension fee that is 25% of the mural permit fee, if the extension includes no design changes or alterations to the mural, effective on the 30th day following adoption of the resolution.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), staff has determined, and will recommend that the Planning Commission and the City Council find, that these proposed amendments to Title 30 of the Glendale Municipal Code (the Zoning Code) are exempt from further review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15301 and 15305.

CEQA Guidelines section 15301 entitled “Existing Facilities” exempts from CEQA the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing licensing, or minor alteration to existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features involving negligible or no expansion of the existing or former use.

This Ordinance provides a permitting procedure pursuant to which Murals may be installed on existing public and or private structures and does not involve the expansion of the use. CEQA Guidelines section 15305 entitled “Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations” exempts from CEQA minor alterations in land use limitations in areas with an average slope of less than 20%, which do not result in any changes in land use or density.

This Ordinance may result in minor alterations in land use limitations, specifically Mural installations, and does not result in any changes in land use or density.

CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE
This item is exempt from campaign disclosure requirements.

ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Alternative 1: Do not adopt proposed ordinance, in which case the existing standards will remain in effect.

Alternative 2: Propose revisions to the ordinance, which would require review by Planning Commission and the return of the amended ordinance to City Council at a later date.

Alternative 3: City Council may consider any other alternative not proposed by staff.

Projects requesting waivers from development standards or objective design standards shall not be eligible for streamlined or ministerial processing and shall be subject to the requirements of this Chapter for design review approval.

SECTION 10. Section 30.47.030 of the Glendale Municipal Code, 1995 is hereby amended to read as follows:

30.47.030 Authority.

A. For the purposes of this chapter, the term "review authority" shall mean the design review board, the city council, the director of community development, the historic preservation commission, or the arts and culture commission, as applicable.

B. For buildings and structures in the DSP zone over 10,000 square feet, or any addition over 10,000 square feet to an existing building, the city council shall be the review authority instead of the design review board.

C. For building and structures in the DSP zone, outside of a redevelopment project area, 10,000 square feet or less, or any addition 10,000 square feet or less to an existing building, the director of community development shall be the review authority.

D. For creative signs in the DSP zone outside a redevelopment project area, the city council shall be the review authority instead of the design review board, when the creative sign is proposed in conjunction with a new building greater than 10,000 square feet or an addition greater than 10,000 square feet to an existing building. In all other cases in the DSP zone the review authority shall be the director of community development.

E. For buildings, structures, and creative signs in a Historic District Overlay Zone, plans and proposals shall be reviewed by the historic preservation commission.

F. Except for properties located in the SR zone or PPD overlay zone, the director of community development shall be the review authority for:

1. Additions and remodels of single-family dwellings, including decks with a maximum overall height greater than eight feet, and an 80 of 410

35 increase in the number of stories where the addition is located at the rear 50 percent of the building and is architecturally compatible with the existing dwelling through the use of colors and materials, roof style and general architectural style and treatment; provided that a proposed addition or remodel of a single-family dwelling that does not meet the limitations of Section 30.60.040(B)(2) shall be considered new construction; and

2. New multi-family buildings of six or fewer units and additions of six or fewer units to existing multi-family buildings; and

3. Nonresidential or mixed-use projects of 10,000 square feet or less or any addition of 10,000 square feet or less to an existing nonresidential or mixed-use building.

4. The design review board may review final design review projects listed in this subsection when, in the opinion of the director of community development, a new building or structure, or alteration or addition to an existing building or structure is determined by staff to be incompatible with the surrounding neighborhood character or with existing buildings or structures on the lot. In making their determination of incompatibility, staff shall consider evidence such as neighborhood predominance of street front setback, roof styles, use of eaves and overhangs, variation in plane (both horizontal and vertical), building location on the site, massing, scale, use of colors and materials and other architectural treatments which, if otherwise ignored, could be injurious to surrounding properties.

G. For sign programs, the director of community development shall be the review authority.

H. In all other cases, plans and proposals shall be reviewed by the design review board.

I. The review and approval of plans and proposals by the review authority is intended to ensure that buildings and structures are designed and located in a manner that will satisfy the purpose and intent of design review and the standards herein set forth.

36 reasonably related to the public health, safety or welfare. The review authority shall approve, approve with conditions or deny the design of the project. The review authority shall not have the authority to require full working drawings. In the event of denial, the review authority shall specify those areas in which the project fails to comply with the provisions of this title.

Notwithstanding any provision of Title 30, the review authority shall have the authority to impose conditions in order to ensure compatibility with surrounding development in terms of size, scale, bulk/mass, roofline orientation, setbacks, and site layout. Regarding privacy, access to natural light, and placement of windows, the review authority shall consider alternative arrangement of windows or building massing or site layout to avoid conflicting relationships to adjacent buildings, structures, improvements and uses; for these reasons alone, however, the review authority shall not reduce the size or scale of a project or shall not prohibit construction with a reasonable number or size of windows in a new or remodeled building, or an addition thereto. The review authority is not required to review plans that are not in reasonable conformance with the provisions of this title unless applications for appropriate discretionary permits are pending. The director of community development is authorized to withhold plans from the review authority when such plans are in violation of the provisions of this title and the required redesign would have a substantial effect on the appearance of the project, or are otherwise not in substantial conformance with relevant adopted design guidelines.

Notwithstanding the above, the review authority shall have authority to impose conditions for sign programs in the DSP zone or for vehicle sales, leasing and rental agencies in the CA zoning district, as applicable, according to Section 30.33.220 in order to ensure compatibility with surrounding development, size, scale, bulk/mass, setbacks and site layout. The review authority is not required to review plans that are not in reasonable conformance with provisions of this title. The review authority shall approve, approve with conditions or deny sign programs as applicable.

2.Changes to projects/plans. Upon request of the applicant, the review authority shall have the authority to modify its previous actions. The review authority, as applicable, may delegate authority to the director of community development for review and approval of minor changes, and to approve resubmitted plans with modifications or changes provided such modifications or changes are in substantial conformance with plans and conditions approved by the review authority, in keeping with the architectural style of the building or structure, and consistent 82 of 410

37 with the objectives of this code, any applicable design guidelines, and conditions of approval.

When changes to projects approved by the review authority occur at project sites during the course of construction, the director of community development has the authority for review and approval of minor design changes that are in substantial conformance with plans and conditions approved by the review authority, in keeping with the architectural style of the building or structure, and consistent with the objectives of this code, any applicable design guidelines, and conditions of approval. Other design changes shall be presented to the review authority for their consideration. The review authority may then approve or deny any changes. The poster-size sign on the property in question that is normally required for design review cases by Section

30.61.010 shall not be a requirement for public notice purposes in these cases.

Projects that do not conform to designs approved by a review authority and/or the planning division of the community development department shall be deemed to be in violation of this code.

The director of community development shall have the authority to modify approved landscape plans when modifications are consistent with California-friendly plantings or California-friendly landscaping as defined in Section 13.36.040 of this code.

3.Building permit plan check and conformance with design review.

Except as provided herein or authorized by the director of community development, no building permit plan check application shall be accepted for a project which requires design review unless said plans are in conformance with plans approved and any conditions imposed by the review authority. Plans are in conformance with plans approved and any conditions imposed by the review authority if they comply in all material respects with all plans submitted and approved as part of the design review including, but not limited to, the site plan and all elevations as to all matters regulated by this chapter, including, without limitation, site layout and planning (which shall include location of primary and accessory structures), design, architectural style and treatments, appearance, size, scale, bulk/mass, roofline orientation, and setbacks.

SECTION 11. Section 30.47.040 of the Glendale Municipal Code, 1995 is hereby amended to read as follows:

30.47.040 Standards.
83 of 410

38 In consideration of applications for design review, the review authority shall be guided by the intent and purpose of Section 30.47.010 and the standards set forth in this section. The design review board shall adopt written guidelines consistent with such intent, purposes, and standards, as it may deem necessary to properly exercise its powers and duties. Such guidelines shall be approved by the city council and shall be kept on file in the office of the director of community development, and a copy thereof shall be furnished to any person upon request. Within the DSP zone, all design review shall be subject to the guidelines and standards established by the downtown specific plan.

For the purposes of this section, the term "review authority" shall mean the design review board, the city council, the director of community development, or the historic preservation commission, as applicable.

A. The review authority shall ensure that all projects are consistent with adopted community plans.

B. The following standards and criteria may be utilized by the review authority which may require changes in materials, color, general design and layout, projections in the vertical or horizontal plan or such other design changes as may be necessary.

1. In addition to the height and minimum setback requirements set forth for the zone in which the property is located, changes in material, height, projections in the vertical or horizontal plane of similar façade changes should be encouraged on visible exterior building walls. Primary attention shall be given to those sides visible from the public right-of-way.

2. The appropriateness of a new or remodeled building to the zoning and area within which it is located, surrounding architectural design, scale and streetscape appearance should be considered provided they are in keeping with the intent and purpose of this chapter. Integrated and harmonious design themes are encouraged, including the use of consistent materials, colors, textures and signs on exposed building walls. New development or remodeling should be designed in such a way as to upgrade the appearance and quality of the area and be harmonious with existing improvements.

39 (greater than 25 square feet) of the new development into the buildings and backyard outdoor space of existing buildings. For new development and remodeling in the R1, R1R and ROS zones, consideration shall be given to the placement of windows in the new development vis-a-vis the placement of windows in adjacent residential buildings.

4. Boundary and other walls should generally be of decorative masonry and/or wrought iron which is complementary in color, texture and material to the development as a whole, although it is recognized that these materials may not be appropriate in all situations (i.e., wood fencing in residential zones and chain link fencing in industrial zones).

5. Landscaping shall be integrated into the architectural scheme so as to accent and enhance the appearance of the development. Existing trees (including those regulated in Chapter 12.44 of this code pertaining to preservation and protection of indigenous trees) over six inches in diameter on the site and any tree within the parkway (as regulated in Chapter 12.40 of this code) as well as trees on adjacent property within 20 feet of the common property line shall be considered for preservation in the site planning.

6. Subject to any applicable height limits, rooftop equipment shall be incorporated into the design of the project in such a manner that it is completely enclosed on all sides or concealed from view by screening, roofing or parapets at least six inches higher than the height of the uppermost part of such equipment.

7. Any dish antenna that is ground-mounted but attached to a building or structure, and any roof-mounted dish antenna, shall be designed in accord with the criteria in Section 30.34.050.

In evaluating any proposed ground-mounted dish antenna that is attached to a building or structure, any roof-mounted dish antenna, or any ground- mounted dish antenna not qualifying for exemption under the criteria of Section 30.47.020 of this chapter, the review authority shall determine whether the color would be unobtrusive, whether the dish antenna can be installed in a location and in a manner which would minimize visual intrusion while maintaining practical operation, and whether the dish can be screened so that it is suitably concealed from view, in order to promote aesthetic objectives, including, but not limited to, compatibility of neighborhood properties, the preservation of views and vistas, and the overall harmonious development of property. The criteria set forth herein shall apply only insofar as such criteria do not prevent the reception of satellite delivered signals or do not impose costs on the users of such antennas that are excessive in light of the purchase and installation costs and intended use of the dish antenna. 85 of 410

40 8. Any wireless telecommunications facility shall be designed in accord with the criteria specified in Chapter 30.48 of this title. The standards outlined elsewhere in this Section 30.47.040 notwithstanding, all wireless telecommunications facilities shall be designed in accordance with Chapter

30.48 of this title.

9. In addition to paragraphs 1 through 8 of this subsection, within designated "HD" historic district overlay zones, design review standards shall be as adopted by the city council in the citywide historic district design guidelines, as may be supplemented by the city council for each district, or any guidelines for non-residential buildings for each district as adopted by the city council at the time of designation of that district. In the event of a conflict between paragraphs 1 through 8 of this subsection and the citywide historic district design guidelines, and as may be supplemented by the city council for each district at the time of designation of that district, or any guidelines for non-residential buildings for each district, as adopted by the city council at the time of designation of that district, the citywide historic district design guidelines and applicable supplements thereto, and any guidelines for non- residential buildings as may be adopted by the city council for that district, shall take precedence, with the final determination of whether there is a conflict to be made by the director of community development.

C. The review authority shall ensure the compatible design of all multi-unit projects that abut a single-family zone. To accomplish this goal, the review authority shall have the authority to impose more restrictive development standards than the provisions of the zone in which the project is located. The review authority shall review each multi-unit project in terms of its impact on the single-family residential neighborhood, including but not limited to, such design elements as window location, balconies, location of recreational facilities, entryways, and garage location. Although street setbacks are not required in the IMU, IMU-R and SFMU zones, the review authority may add conditions to ensure pedestrian activity at the street edge including the location of building entrances and surface parking lots and the use of setback areas as plazas, open space, or other active uses. In the IMU, IMU-R and SFMU zones, facades on the corner cutoff areas at intersections should incorporate significant architectural design features (e.g., a tower). The review authority may require transitional height increases in order to promote a visual transition between the single-family neighborhood and multiple- family zone and to ensure that adequate landscape buffering is provided and permanently maintained. The review authority shall also consider the multiple dwelling building facades, roof designs, and use of materials and colors to ensure compatibility with the architectural design elements generally found in the neighboring single-family zone.

41 development pattern within 300 feet of the subject property. Special attention should also be placed on ensuring a positive design relationship with the adjacent developments and developments on the block on which the proposed project is located. The director of community development shall have the discretion to consider an alternate area to be the neighborhood of primary emphasis. To accomplish compatibility, the review authority shall review each single-family residential project in terms of its specific impact on the surrounding single-family neighborhood, including, but not limited to, such design elements as massing, scale, height, setback, landscaping, impacts from average current slopes exceeding 50% and grading of more than 1,500 cubic yards and window location. The review authority shall consider the setbacks of buildings and structures on adjacent properties and ensure that a project's proposed height and setback promote a visual transition between the project and neighboring buildings. The review authority shall also consider garage location and design to promote compatibility with neighborhood patterns. The review authority shall also consider the single-family building facades, roof designs, and use of material and colors to ensure compatibility with the architectural design elements generally found in the surrounding single-family zone.

E. Decisions related to development in the ROS and R1R zones shall consider the hillside development review policy contained in Section 30.11.040(A).

F. The review authority shall ensure that sign programs are consistent with the following standards:

1. Signs shall be compatible with the project architecture and the surroundings including significant landscape features.

2. Signs shall not unduly compete with or obstruct other business signs, obstruct traffic signals, detract from the architectural features of the neighborhood, or create visual clutter.

3. The sign program shall exhibit a harmonious design, mounting and illumination theme for the entire lot or site.

4. The sign program shall be consistent with any applicable plans or guidelines.

G. The review authority shall ensure that creative signs are consistent with the following design criteria:

1.Design quality. The sign shall:
a. Constitute a substantial aesthetic improvement to the site and shall have a positive visual impact on the surrounding area;

42 b. Be of unique design, and exhibit a high degree of creativity, thoughtfulness, imagination, inventiveness, and spirit; and c. Provide strong graphic and artistic character through the imaginative use of graphics, color, texture, quality materials, scale, and proportion; d. Include inventive representation of the use, name, or logo of the structure or business.

2.Contextual criteria. The sign shall contain at least one of the following elements:
a. Symbols or imagery relating to the entertainment, creative, or design industries;
b. Creative image reflecting current or historic character of the city or neighborhood;
c. Classic historic design style.

3.Architectural criteria. The sign shall:
a. Utilize or enhance the architectural elements of the building; and b. Be placed in a logical and proportional location in relation to the overall composition of the building’s façade and not cover any key architectural features and details.

SECTION 12. Section 30.47.050 of the Glendale Municipal Code, 1995 is hereby amended to read as follows:

30.47.050 Maintenance of approved building colors, building materials and landscaping.

The building colors, building materials and landscaping approved by the review authority shall be maintained substantially as shown in the approved plans for a period of five years after the building permit is finaled in the ROS, R1R and R1 zones. In all other zones, building colors and materials approved by the review authority shall be maintained substantially as shown in the approved plans for a period of two years after the building permit is finaled.

RECOMMENDATION
That City Council review and adopt the proposed Ordinance with the Planning Commission’s recommended amendments.

ANALYSIS
On November 3, 2020, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 5955, which amended various sections of Title 30 of the Glendale Municipal Code (“GMC”), and transferred design review authority of murals from the Design Review Board to the Arts & Culture Commission. Currently, regulations regarding murals exist under various sections in the Glendale Zoning Code (Title 30). Further, the current mural regulations are minimal and do not provide a thorough procedure for mural installation, maintenance, and removal.

Consequently, Staff is proposing a new GMC chapter dedicated to mural regulations that establishes clear standards and addresses installation, maintenance and removal procedures. Additionally, other GMC sections referencing murals are recommended for amendment/deletion so that the mural regulations are consolidated into one chapter.

To establish a mural ordinance that will address these issues, Library, Arts & Culture (LAC) staff consulted the prominent public art ordinance expert, Sarah Odenkirk, Esq., and Planning staff to ensure legality, accuracy and consistency. After a delay due to a 2024 movement to require muralists to obtain state contractor licenses – similar to painters – on January 1, 2026, a new law took effect (SB 456) which exempts muralists from California State contractor’s license requirements.

Following passage of SB 456, Planning and LAC staff completed review of the proposed Ordinance and the related Mural Policies and Procedures and Required Documents and presented same to the Arts & Culture Commission on June 18, 2026. The Arts & Culture Commission unanimously approved a motion recommending that the Planning Commission review and recommend the City Council adopt the proposed Code amendments (EXHIBIT 2). The Arts & Culture Commission did not receive any public comment in opposition to the proposed Mural Ordinance.

On July 15, 2026, the Planning Commission review ed the proposed ordinance and unanimously approved a motion to recommend adoption of these amendments to the City Council, with the following comments: 1) The draft ordinance shall be revised for City Council consideration to include language stating that if the applicant seeks to extend the term of the mural permit and the extension includes no design changes or alterations to the mural, the mural permit fee shall be 25% of the original mural permit fee amount; and 2) The draft ordinance shall be revised for City Council consideration to include the new language in GMC Section 30.47.020 from Ordinance No. 6052 (EXHIBIT 3).

Proposed Addition of Chapter 30.38:

Current Zoning Code standards regulates murals through various sections, including Chapters 30.33 “SIGNS”, 30.40 “APPLICATION FILING AND PROCEDURES”, 30.47 “DESIGN REVIEW”, and 30.61 “HEARING AND PUBLIC NOTICES”. The proposed Chapter 30.38 establishes one GMC chapter dedicated to mural regulation. It provides appropriate time, place, and manner requirements for murals and a thorough procedure 100 of 410

9a 3
26-90476
for how murals should be installed, maintained, and removed, which are standards that do not currently exist in the Zoning Code. Additionally, the proposed Ordinance expands the locations where murals can be located from only Commercial and Industrial Zones to Commercial, Mixed Use, Industrial, and Transit Oriented Development Zones.

The following is a summary of the proposed Chapter 30.38 Sections:

Section 30.38.010 (Purpose and Intent):

Sets forth the purpose and intent of Chapter 30.38. It is important to encourage original murals on public and private buildings in the City because they are an essential element of the City’s quality of life and they prevent vandalism and eradicate blight . While the City has a desire to encourage artistic expression throughout the City, the proposed Chapter 30.38 also regulates murals on a content-neutral basis and establishes reasonable time, place, and manner requirements.

Section 30.38.020 (Definitions):

Provides definitions of words and phrases that are relevant to the Chapter.

Section 30.38.030 (Applicability):

Establishes the locations where murals can be located, which include Commercial, Mixed Use, Industrial, and Transit Oriented Development Zones, and provides the processes for installing murals on private and public property.

Section 30.38.040 (Mural Permit Required):

Requires a person to first obtain a Mural Permit and a recordation of a Mural Maintenance Agreement before installing a mural on private property.

Section 30.38.050 (General Regulations):

Requires property owners to first obtain an executed Artist Waiver and Agreement from the Artist who designed the Mural sought to be placed upon the property prior to the issuance of any Mural Permit and prior to the execution of any Mural Maintenance Agreement.

Section 30.38.100 (Mural Maintenance Agreement):

Completion of a Mural Maintenance Agreement is a prerequisite to the issuance of a Mural Permit. The Director of Library, Arts & Culture, or a designee, is authorized to record the Mural Maintenance after the 15- day appeal period has lapsed.

Section 30.38.110 (Mural Alterations):

Prohibits alterations to any permitted mural without first obtaining a Mural Permit approving the proposed alteration.

Section 30.38.120 (Permit Termination, Extension and Duration):

Governs duration, extension and termination of a Mural Permit. A Mural Permit terminates 6 months after the granting of the permit unless the right or privilege has commenced in good faith prior to such time. Applicants may request and be granted a one- time extension of an additional 6 months by submitting a written request for extension and demonstrating that a reasonable effort to act on such right or privilege has commenced within 6 months of the approval date. The Director of Library, Arts & Culture may grant a Mural Permit for a period of time not to exceed 5 years and the term may be extended at the discretion of the Director of Library, Arts & Culture.

Section 30.38.130 (Appeal Process):

Establishes the appeal process for Mural Permits.

been made by the Arts & Culture Commission, the applicant may submit a modified mural design and maintenance plan to be considered by the City Council on appeal, or withdraw the Mural Permit application.

Section 30.38.140 (Mural Removal):

Section 30.38.150 (Prohibition and Enforcement):

Violations of the Chapter may result in administrative fines, penalties, costs, and revocation of the Mural Permit. A violation of the Chapter is also a misdemeanor.

Section 30.38.160 (Promulgation of Policies and Guidelines):

Authorizes the Library, Arts & Culture Department to adopt rules of procedure it deems necessary to properly exercise its powers and duties regarding murals.

The following is a summary of the proposed amendments to the GMC related to Murals:

Proposed Amendments to GMC Section 2.12.030:

Provide the Library, Arts & Culture Department the authority to promulgate and implement mural program guidelines, policies, and procedures.

Proposed Amendments to GMC Sections 30.33.020, 30.33.230, 30.40.010,

30.40.020, 30.41.050, 30.47.020, 30.47.030, 30.47.040, 30.47.050, 30.47.070,

30.47.075, 30.47.090, and 30.61.010:

These “clean up” amendments to various Zoning Code sections remove mention of murals and their review body as murals will be governed under the proposed Chapter 30.38.

The proposed amendments also include a correction to GMC Section 30.47.020 pertaining to Design Review exemptions that was inadvertently changed when the Zoning Code was amended to add Objective Design Standards (ODS) earlier this year. In 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 6027 as part of the Community Development Department’s process streamlining efforts. In May of 2026, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 6052 establishing ODS for multi-family and mixed- use development in commercial and residential zones which included revisions to GMC Section 30.47.020, but the ODS ordinance unintentionally included old language that had been modified in the 2024 ordinance change. The proposed Mural Ordinance makes that correction.

The Mural Policies and Procedures and Required Documents (“Policies and Procedures”) was presented as an exhibit to the Arts & Culture Commission on June 18, 2026 and to the Planning Commission on July 15, 2026. The Policies and Procedures attached hereto as Exhibit 1 have subsequently been revised to include additional documents to the Original Mural Art Application, specifically a Conflict of Interest Statement and an 103 of 410

9a 6
26-90476
Owner/Applicant Affidavit , and to include an Information Sheet – Campaign Finance Ordinance for Applicants Seeking Entitlement.

At the time of adoption of the proposed Mural Ordinance, staff will include a resolution seeking to amend the Citywide Fee Schedule to include a Mural Renewal Fee of $25, which is 25% of the Mural Permit Fee, if the applicant seeks to extend the term of th e mural permit and the extension incudes no design changes or alterations to the mural.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
On November 17, 2021, LAC staff hosted an online Mural Ordinance Community Input meeting and invited constituents to share feedback on a proposed mural ordinance for the City of Glendale.

The Zoning Code requires public notice when the Council considers adoption of amendments to the Zoning Code. Staff has published all required notices for this hearing.

Public notice was also provided for the Planning Commission hearing on July 15, 2026.

On August 17, 2026, staff sent an email to the 4,000+ subscribers of the Arts & Culture email list, including artists, arts organizations, and interested parties prior to the City Council meeting. The email informed recipients of the proposed Mural Ordinance and invited public participation and comment.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.

This Ordinance may result in minor alterations in land use limitations, specifi cally Mural installations, and does not result in any changes in land use or density.

CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE
This item is exempt from campaign disclosure requirements.

2 CITY OF GLENDALE

MURAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

The Arts and Culture Commission, the Library, Arts and Culture Department, and the City of Glendale all desire to encourage artistic expression throughout the City of Glendale.

Together, they acknowledge that art in public places is an essential element of the quality of life within the City and that art in public places contributes to what makes the City of Glendale a special place to live, work, and shop.

The City wishes to encourage original murals on public and private buildings as an investment in cultural capital to serve the public interest by eradicating visual blight created by large uninteresting, blank walls that are sometimes the target of vandals, to create tourist interest points, and to develop community identity.

Anyone wanting to put a mural on public or private property must obtain a permit from the City pursuant to the process set forth in Glendale Municipal Code Section

30.38. This process is intended to support efforts to place murals on public and private buildings in a content-neutral manner while ensuring compliance with time, manner, and place requirements.

Further, the City wants to make sure that there is strict adherence to safety rules to ensure structural integrity, and that there is an opportunity to obtain advisory community input to enhance the relevance of a proposed mural to its proposed location. Maintenance obligations must be thoughtfully addressed so that no unnecessary or unexpected financial burdens are placed on the City and the community.

Finally, consideration must be given to placing murals where they will be most impactful in creating identity and sense of place.

Murals installed without adhering to the Glendale Municipal Code Chapter 30.38 may be subject to removal if the property owner fails to legalize the mural by obtaining a validly issued mural permit.

1. Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to guide the Library, Arts and Culture Department in:

a. Supporting community-driven mural projects.

b. Including artwork from local, regional, national, and international artists of diverse backgrounds in the City of Glendale’s murals program.

158 of 410

3 c. Providing ongoing opportunities for artists to engage in the community through temporary artworks.

d. Supporting the economic development and cultural tourism interests in the City of Glendale.

e. Encourage public dialogue and artistic expression.

3. Acceptable Mural Locations

a. Private property. Subject to the zoning restrictions set forth in Glendale Municipal Code (“GMC”) sections 30.38.030, 30.38.040, 30.38.060, and

30.38.090, murals are allowed on private property with permission of the private property owner, as long as the private property owner adheres to this Mural Policies and Procedures and Required Documents, obtains a mural permit from the City, enters into a Mural Maintenance Agreement with the City, and enters into an Artist Waiver and Agreement with the artist of the mural.

i. Applicants shall obtain the written permission of the private property owner prior to submitting an application for a mural permit.

ii. Prior to the issuance of a mural permit and the installation of any mural on private property, the property owner must submit a Mural Maintenance Agreement (the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”). The City requires the recordation of the Mural Maintenance Agreement in the Los Angeles County Recorder’s Office so that all future property owners, and any other person or entity with an interest in the property, will be put on notice of the property owner’s mural maintenance responsibilities.

iii. Prior to the issuance of a mural permit and the installation of any mural on private property, the property owner must submit an Artist Waiver and Agreement for Mural Placed on Private Property (the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “B”).

b. Mural Installation on Public Property. The City Council shall be the final review authority for any mural proposed to be installed on public property.

Following the public review process set forth in GMC Chapter 30.38, the Arts and Culture Commission may recommend the City Council authorize the Director of Library, Arts and Culture, subject to approval “as to form” by the City Attorney, to enter into all appropriate agreements for the installation of a mural public property.

4. Mural Installation Parameters

159 of 410

4 All murals must conform to the following parameters as applicable to the site:

a. Except as provided herein in Section D, no part of a mural shall exceed the height of the structure to which it is tiled, painted, or affixed unless permitted to do so with an approved Mural Maintenance Agreement, and with approval of a City issued encroachment permit where any part of the mural extends into the public right of way.

b. All mural and mural structures shall have a smooth surface, and no nails, tacks, rivets, wires or other fastening devices shall be permitted to protrude therefrom except external lamps, neon tubing or artificial illumination (“Illumination”) on walls or any buildings or structures which are necessary to illuminate the mural and such external Illumination shall not in any manner exceed the height or width of the structure upon which the mural is in any manner attached, tiled, painted, or affixed.

c. Artist(s) signature(s) and sponsorship recognition shall be confined to the signature area

d. No part of a mural shall extend more than six (6) inches from the vertical plane of the surface upon which the mural is in any manner attached, tiled, painted, or affixed. However, murals approved for installation on any horizontal plane must be flush with that horizontal plane.

e. No mural may consist of, or contain, electrical, or mechanical components, or changing images (moving structural elements, flashing or sequential lights, lighting elements, or other automated methods that result in movement, the appearance of movement, or change of mural image or message, not including static illumination turned off and back on not more than once every twenty-four (24) hours).

f. No mural shall be placed on a lot that is zoned solely for single family or multifamily residential development. Murals may only be located in Commercial Zones (C1 Neighborhood Commercial Zone, C2 Community Commercial Zone, C3 Commercial Service Zone, CR Commercial Retail Zone, CPD Commercial Planned Development Zone, CH Commercial Hillside Zone, and CA Commercial Auto Zone), Mixed Use Zones (IMU Industrial/Commercial Mixed Use Zone, IMU-R Industrial/Commercial- Residential Mixed Use Zone, SFMU Commercial/Residential Mixed Use Zone, and DSP Downtown Specific Plan Zone), Industrial Zones (IND Industrial Zone and T Transportation Zone), or TOD zones.

Any mural that contains a business name, logo, slogan, trademark, website address, social media identifier, or other business identification, including business sponsorship shall be considered to contain a Commercial Message and be treated as a Sign as defined in Chapter 30.33.020. Provided, however, the mural may contain a single continuous perimeter, which shall not exceed four (4) square feet at the bottom edge of the mural where the mural artist signs their name, where one mural sponsor may affix their name or logo, and where the mural date and copyright information may be provided ("Signature Area").

If the four square feet area is greater than 10% of the overall size of the mural, then the Signature Area shall not exceed 10% of the mural area. Such acknowledgement panel shall not be classified as a commercial message, and is therefore exempt from zoning regulation as provided in Municipal Code of Glendale Chapter 30.33 pertaining so signs.

j. The signature area may contain one Acknowledgment of the mural sponsor(s) per mural.

An application for a mural permit for the installation of a mural on private property shall include all the information, and materials and a mural maintenance plan that will be incorporated into a Mural Maintenance Agreement (the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”), all as specified in Chapter 30.38.

6. Mural Permit Process

There are four steps required in order for the Permit to be Granted:

a. Submit a mural permit application to the Library, Arts and Culture Department.

b. The mural permit application must include the mural permit fee, a maintenance plan which maintenance plan will be incorporated into a Mural Maintenance Agreement that shall be executed and recorded prior to the issuance of a mural permit. The mural permit application must also include an Artist Waiver and Agreement for Mural Placed on Private Property.

c. The mural permit applicant is responsible for providing public notice of the proposed mural permit on site, which public noticing includes, but is not limited to posting the mural site and sending notices to surrounding property owners.

162 of 410

7 8. Appealing the Denial of a Mural Permit
Appeals of any decision by the Arts and Culture Commission to approve issuance of a mural permits on private property shall be to the City Council and such appeals shall be heard de novo, meaning that the City Council will independently reexamine the mural permit application submitted by applicant to the City for review and decision by the Arts and Culture Commission.

9. Site Preparation

Proper preparation of the location where the mural is to be installed will enhance the community for years. For this reason, the following guidelines should be respected:

a. Brick, plaster and concrete walls offer the best surface for murals. Wood and aluminum are not recommended for murals with a Mural Maintenance Agreement term over five (5) years. Murals may be painted directly on the prepared final surface, or on panels which are to be fixed to the wall either before or after painting.

b. Ideally the mural surface should be smooth. The quality of the surface preparation will determine the quality of the finished product. The mural artist should be sure to follow appropriate preparation steps and consult with a qualified paint professional to determine the best filler, primer, and paint products.

c. If there are any questions about the appropriateness or suitability of the surface upon which the mural is proposed to be installed or affixed in any way, it is recommended that a building contractor, professional artist or painter be consulted.

d. The mural installation area may need to be pressure washed to remove any dirt and existing paint prior to the commencement of work. Applicants 163 of 410

8 may need to obtain a City permit in order to pressure wash surfaces. The surface should be completely dry before proceeding.
e. Spackle or another filler should be used to fill cracks, holes, and to level uneven surfaces.
f. The wall where a mural is to be installed may need to be primed with a latex primer to provide an even surface for the mural.

10. Mural Maintenance and Repair

All mural maintenance and repair activities shall be specified in the mural maintenance plan to be incorporated into a Mural Maintenance Agreement.

Consideration shall be given to the impacts from pollution and water on murals. It is recommended that the mural maintenance plan include annual washing of the mural surface with a gentle soap to minimize water and damage from abrasive or harsh cleansers. It is also recommended that mural plans include effective surface preparation and if a mural is painted, the installation of a protective topcoat to keep the mural in good condition.

a. Mural Maintenance and Repairs on City Property. All painted murals installed on City Property will be required to include the installation of a protective topcoat to protect the mural from damage. The City will be responsible for regular cleaning and repair as is deemed necessary and appropriate by the staff of the Library, Arts and Culture Department in cooperation with the mural artist.

b. Mural Maintenance and Repairs on Private Property. The City does not assume any obligation, financial or otherwise, for the creation, upkeep, or repair of murals for which the City has issued permits for installation on private property. Maintenance and repair of murals permitted on private property shall be the sole responsibility of the property owner on whose property the mural is installed. Prior to the issuance of a mural permit the property owner, must enter into Mural Maintenance Agreement which includes a maintenance plan. The mural maintenance plan shall include a schedule for regular cleaning, maintenance in order to maintain the mural in good condition.

c. Complaints Regarding Murals on Private Property. In the event of complaints to the City regarding lack of maintenance impacting the mural’s appearance, the City will conduct an inspection. If the City determines the mural is in disrepair and that the property owner is not abiding by their maintenance and repair obligations set forth in the GMC Chapter 30.38 and the Mural Maintenance Agreement, the City may, in its sole discretion, issue a citation to the property owner pursuant to GMC section 30.38.130 and or pursue other legal or equitable remedies. 164 of 410

9 If, in the City’s reasonable determination, the property owner’s failure to maintain and or repair the mural creates a serious public health and or safety hazard, the City may, in its sole discretion following twenty-four (24) hours’ written notice to Owner (“City Entry Notice”), enter onto Owner’s Property to perform mural maintenance and or repair, or removal, in order to cure the serious public health and or safety hazard (“Emergency Repair”). “Serious public health and or safety hazard” includes, but is not limited to, any part of the Mural entering into the public right of way or public property so as to create a physical hazard to the public.

d. Vandalism and Graffiti. If a mural is vandalized (including from graffiti) it is the property owner’s responsibility to repair the mural and remove such graffiti in compliance with GMC Chapter 9.16, entitled “Graffiti”.

11. Removal of Murals – Renewal of Mural Permit.

The term of the Mural is subject to negotiation between the property owner and the City. Murals that are issued a City permit may remain in place for the duration of the Mural Permit and Mural Maintenance Agreement. Murals located on public property may remain in place pursuant to the terms of the City’s agreement with the mural artist. A Mural may be removed prior to its planned removal date at the request of the applicant or current private property owner pursuant to the process set forth in Chapter 30.38.

A. Self-initiated removal. Subject to GMC section 30.38.140, and Section 8 of the Mural Maintenance Agreement, the applicant and or private property owner must provide 30 days’ prior written notice to the Library, Arts and Culture Department of the request to remove any mural not scheduled for removal pursuant to the Mural Maintenance Agreement. Following notice of proposed mural removal provided to the Library, Arts and Culture Department, and after obtaining any permits for traffic management or public right of way encroachment that may be required to remove a mural from private property, the mural be removed by the private property owner. The mural site shall be restored to its condition prior to the installation of the mural, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and shall be completed at the sole cost and expense of either the mural permit applicant or the then current property owner at the time of the removal. Applicants should be aware of any terms in their agreement with the mural artists that could impact their ability to remove the mural.

B. Site improvements. In some instances, such as streetscape repaving or building maintenance, the City may require the applicant remove the mural for public health and safety purposes and will provide all required noticing to the applicant and property owner prior to undertaking activities that may require removal of all or part of a mural. The applicant may be able to reinstall the mural after the 165 of 410

10 public improvement or repair has been completed. The applicant shall be responsible for the costs of re-installing the mural.

C. Public safety emergencies. As a condition of permitting murals located on, at, above or near public utilities, applicants and property owners have been apprised that such murals may be required to be removed with little or no notice to the applicant or private property owner so that the utility may be repaired. The applicant will be responsible for restoring any damage to the mural caused by emergency utility repairs.

D. Renewal of Mural Permit. Mural permit applicants seeking to renew their Mural Permit shall provide the City with sixty (60) days’ advance written notice of their renewal request prior to the expiration of the Mural Permit. Renewal of a Mural Permit shall be within the sole discretion of the City.

21 In August 2011, the Glendale City Council adopted Ordinance No. 5744, which became effective on September 9, 2011 (“Ordinance”). The Ordinance prohibits campaign contributions from “applicants seeking entitlement,” certain of their contractors and subcontractors (including their architects, engineers, and design professionals) while the application is “pending” and for 12 months thereafter. An application is deemed pending when: an application or letter is filed and the City Council, Redevelopment Agency, or Housing Authority has original jurisdiction over approval of the entitlement, or when the application is formally appealed to the City Council.

The Ordinance also prohibits any member of the City Council, Redevelopment Agency, or Housing Authority from voting on any matter pertaining to an entitlement if that member has received a campaign contribution from the applicant seeking the entitlement, or certain contractors or subcontractors of the applicant, within the 12-month period preceding the consideration of the matter.

I. What acts does the Ordinance prohibit?
With respect to an “applicant seeking entitlement” before the Glendale City Council (“Council”), the Glendale Redevelopment Agency (“GRA”), or the Housing Authority of the City of Glendale (“HA”), the Ordinance does the following:

1. Prohibition No. 1 – Ban on contributions while application is pending and for 12 months thereafter. The Ordinance prohibits (a) an “applicant seeking entitlement”, (b) a “contractor of an applicant seeking an entitlement,” or (c) a “subcontractor of an applicant seeking an entitlement” from making a contribution to a member of City Council while an application is “pending” before the Council, GRA, or HA and for a period of 12 months after the last and final approval of the Council, GRA or HA.

2. Prohibition No. 2 – Ban on voting if contribution received during 12-month period preceding consideration of the matter. Prohibits any Council Member, Redevelopment Agency Member, or Housing Authority Member who has received a contribution from an applicant seeking entitlement, a contractor of an applicant seeking entitlement, or a subcontractor seeking entitlement within a period of 12 months prior to consideration of an entitlement from voting on the matter.

II. Who is an applicant seeking entitlement?

• Person who files an application or letter with the City, GRA, or HA, or • Person who is an owner or lessee of property on whose behalf an application or letter is filed

177 of 410

22 III. What is an entitlement?
An entitlement is any land use or similar entitlement including:

Permit License Conditional Use
Permit
Variance Architectural/Design
Review (any stage)
Franchise Administrative
Exception
Parking
Reduction
Permit
Review of Plans Development
Agreement
Disposition and
Development
Agreement
Exclusive
Negotiation
Agreement
Owner
Participation
Agreement
Affordable
Housing
Agreement
Financial
Assistance to a
Project

IV. When is an entitlement “pending?”

• For items that require approval of the Council, Redevelopment Agency or Housing Authority and thus must be set for review or hearing before that body, the application is deemed “pending” at the time the application or letter is filed. • For items where the Council, GRA, or HA is the appellate body, the application is “pending” when the notice of appeal has been filed.
• The three examples set forth below are intended to provide interpretive guidance:
(1) An application for a zone change is filed. Since a zone change can only be effectuated by the City Council, upon filing the application it would be pending before the City Council.

INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMUNICATION
To: Mayor Kassakhian and Members of the City Council
From: Lessa Kanani’opua Pelayo-Lozada, Director of Library, Arts & Culture By: Jennifer Fukutomi-Jones, Assistant Director of Library, Arts & Culture Date: September 3, 2026
Subject: Mural Ordinance – Mural Permit Fees
Background:

On August 25, 2026, Council introduced an ordinance proposing a new chapter to Title 30, Chapter

30.38 to the Glendale Zoning Code (Title 30), entitled “Murals”, repealing section 30.33.230, and amending sections 2.12.030, 30.33.020, 30.40.010, 30.40.020, 30.41.050, 30.47.030, 30.47.040,

30.47.040, 30.47.050, 30.47.070, 30.47.075, 30.47.090 and 30.61.010 of the Glendale Municipal Code (GMC), 1995 (Case NO. PZC-0018-2026). The proposed Zoning Code amendments update the existing mural design review standards and establish a clear set of procedures for mural installation, maintenance and de-installation.

After reviewing the staff report and proposed ordinance, hearing the detailed staff presentation, and receiving public testimony at the August 25, 2026, public hearing, the Council requested staff to provide additional information regarding the timeline for implementation, the determination of the mural permit and mural design review fees in the adopted FY 26/27 City-Wide Fee Schedule, and comparable city’s mural fees.

Estimated Mural Permit timeline and process for an applicant:

Staff anticipates that the overall mural permit application process (from the applicant starting the application to the City issuing the permit) will take approximately 3 to 6 months to complete.

Below is an overview of the 4 steps for the mural design review process:

Step #1 (1-2 months):

The applicant completes an online Mural Permit Application (including required documentation) in the Glendale Permits Portal. The length of this step is determined by the Applicant and how timely they can submit all required documents. This step also includes Staff assistance to the Applicant in preparing the mural permit application.

Step #2 (1 month):

The applicant pays the Mural Permit Application and Mural Design Review Fees.

Step #3 (1 month):

The Arts & Culture Commission will hold a Public Hearing to review the mural permit application which will take place during one of the Commission’s regularly scheduled meetings.

Step #4 (1 month):

If approved, Library, Arts & Culture staff will issue a Mural Permit.

EXHIBIT 2
184 of 410

The necessity of fees as funding support for services:

Taxes and fees are the two primary funding sources for local governments to provide essential public services. At the City of Glendale, the total FY 2026-27 General Fund tax revenues (property tax, sales tax, utility users tax, and transient occupancy tax) are estimated to be $226 million, while the total General Fund budget is $378 million with a funding gap of $152 million. Fees assessed for various General Fund services provided makes up the majority of the funding gap. Assessing fees to support essential public services is a necessity for Glendale as well as any other local government in the State and across the Country.

Proposition 26 defines all fees as taxes unless they fall in any one of the following 7 exceptions:
o Specific Benefit/Privilege (permits, franchises)
o Specific Service/Product (utility charges, park & rec. fees) o Reasonable Regulatory Fees for licenses & permits (permits, inspections) o Fee for entry, use or purchase of government property (parks & rec. entrance fees, equipment rental, some franchises)
o Fines & penalties
o Fees imposed as a condition of property development (limited to cost by other law) o Assessments & property-related fees subject to Prop.218 (limited to cost by 218)

In accordance with Proposition 26, the City began regularly conducting a fee study in 2011 to determine the actual cost of maintaining oversight of specific activities or for providing a private benefit to specific individuals or groups. The fee study is conducted by a professional services firm specializing in this field and follows best practices applied by public agencies across the country.

At its most basic core, the comprehensive fee study’s calculation methodology is distilled down to a reasonable estimate that takes into consideration fully burdened personnel hourly rates, time estimates for performing a task, and other overhead cost, which are then added to arrive at the full cost recovery calculation as illustrated below:

It is the City’s current practice to conduct fee studies of a few selected departments each year, on a rotational basis, with the goal of maintaining a current fee study for every department that is not older than 5 years since the previous study was performed. The Library, Arts & Culture fees were included in the FY 2025-26 fee study and the cost estimates for all Library, Arts & Culture fees are current.

185 of 410

Breakdown of staff costs used by Fee Study Consultant:

In Winter 2026, the Finance Department engaged Matrix Consulting Group to conduct a Fee Study of Library, Arts & Culture’s fees as part of its regular review cycle. Fees such as the ones outlined below are part of the City’s General Fund Revenue and are typical to a City government. Typical fees include signage permit fees and construction permit fees, which often take significant amount of staff time to conduct. The purpose of these fees is to recover the costs the City incurs to provide the service.

The introduction of murals as a quality of life and tourism draw for a City is above and beyond the basic services a City is typically expected to provide, and, if successful, is an increase to the Arts & Culture Division’s current public art offerings.

The below fees were estimated based upon the limited mural approvals by the Arts & Culture Commission since November 2020, as well as the processes and practices from the Community Development Department’s Planning Division and Design Review Board, which oversaw mural approvals prior to November 2020, when design review authority was transferred to the Arts & Culture Commission.

The below fees are charged AFTER the applicant has submitted their application.

Mural Permit Fee
The Mural Permit Fee is based on 1 hour of work from an Exhibition Coordinator at a fully burdened hourly rate of $146.86 (including salaries, benefits and overhead costs) to complete tasks such as:
download application and review submission details. The full cost recovery for the Mural Permit Fee is $146.86. The adopted Mural Permit Fee is $100, at 68% cost recovery, subsidized at 32%.

Renewal Mural Permit Fee
To be more accessible and to encourage the longevity of murals in the community, the Planning Commission recommended a Mural Renewal Fee of 25% of the adopted Mural Permit Fee which would amount to $25. This Mural Renewal Fee would be applied every 5 years to existing Mural Permit holders wishing to maintain their mural.

Mural Design Review Fees
The Mural Design Review Fees (small, medium and large) are based on the Principal Administrator of Library, Arts & Culture’s fully burdened hourly rate of $214.31 (including salaries, benefits and overhead costs) and an average of 30 hours of staff time associated with the design review for each mural permit application. The full cost recovery for the Mural Design Review Fee is $6,429.30.

The 30 hours of staff time includes tasks such as:
• 5 hours: reviewing application, scheduling meeting with applicant, meet with applicant to discuss mural approval process
• 20 hours: assisting applicant through the process and coordinating required documents with applicant, meeting with City Attorney's office to discuss public hearing, preparing staff report and exhibits for the public hearing, attending public hearing. Much of the work to assist the applicant occurs prior to the charging of the fee. The applicant is only charged after all documents are successfully submitted. Some individuals may require a significant amount of assistance but decide not to apply. This time estimate takes into account the average of multiple scenarios.
• 5 hours: prepare Record of Decision, finalize mural maintenance plan with applicant, close out project
186 of 410

Staff recommended an equitable sliding scale tiered fee structure (small, medium, and large) for the Mural Design Review fees to make the fees more accessible to small and medium-size businesses as well as non-profit organizations and property owners who do not fall into a commercial business or non- profit category and are labeled as “Standard”. The logic behind the equitable sliding scale is that larger businesses are able to absorb the full recovery cost as they will have a larger operation and net worth than smaller businesses, non-profit organizations, and organizations which do not fit into the category of being a commercial business.

It should be noted that the applicant is the determinant of the tiered rate. If the applicant is not the property owner, the property owner must agree to the mural before approval. Below are examples of how rates might be applied:
• If a non-profit leases space in a building and applies to add a mural to the building with the property owners permission, the “Small Commercial Business / Non-Profit / Standard Fee” would apply.
• If the building is owned by one individual who leases space to a business that has 30 employees, but the property owner is the applicant, the “Small Commercial Business / Non-Profit / Standard Fee” would apply.
• If the building is owned by a corporation with over 100 employees, and the corporation’s business occupies the space, and the corporation is the applicant, the “Large Commercial Business fee” would apply.

It is also important to note that all of the proposed and adopted murals since November 2020 have fallen into the “Small Commercial Business / Non-Profit / Standard Fee” category, which is the most subsidized fee. LAC anticipates that based on this data, the majority of mural applications will fall under this fee category.

The adopted Mural Design Review fees are:
• Small Commercial Business (up to 10 employees) / Non-Profit / Standard Fee is $400.00 which is a 6% cost recovery of staff time and the Mural Design Review. *This category is the anticipated majority of applicants.
• Medium Commercial Business (11-50 employees) is $3,215.00 which is a 50% cost recovery of staff time.
• Large Commercial Business (<50 employees) fee of $6,429.00 accounts for a 100% cost recovery of staff time

Mural Appeals Fee
The adopted Mural Appeals Fee is based on 21 hours of staff time between two staff members:
• Exhibition Coordinator, 1 hour: download application, review submission details. • Principal Administrator, 20 hours: coordinating required documents with applicant, meeting with City Attorney's office to discuss public hearing, preparing staff report and exhibits for the public hearing, attending public hearing
The adopted Mural Appeals Fee is $4,433, which is 100% of the cost recovery.

187 of 410

Comparable Cities:

City Council requested information on what neighboring cities charge. Below is a list of neighboring cities that have mural-related fees. Our neighboring city’s fees are not a part of a mural specific permit but rather fall under “sign” permitting fees.

Mural ordinance versus a sign ordinance
If adopted, Glendale will be one of the few cities in the state with a specific Mural Ordinance, making Glendale a regional leader for developing formalized mural regulation on private property. Glendale’s mural ordinance would become a model for other cities moving forward.

The mural ordinance is focused on the governance of non-commercial public art compared to a sign ordinance that is focused on the governance of commercial branding, advertising and displays. The benefit of a mural ordinance is to provide clear guidelines on what is permitted and transparency on the mural approval process. The current Glendale Municipal Code regarding murals primarily focuses on design review standards. The mural ordinance would provide clear guidelines on mural installation, maintenance and removal.

City of Los Angeles
• $60 mural registration fee (any commercial business). Based on the ordinance, t his fee is based on the administrative cost for mural registration program implementation. The fee has not been adjusted since its establishment in 2013.

City of Burbank
• A sign permit assumes two hours of staff time because it is typically just a single sign for a project site. Assistant Planner is responsible for this work. Fee is $169.52. • A sign permit program is more involved because applicants need assistance with creating sign standards for a project site. This assumes eight hours of staff time. Assistant Planner is responsible for this work. Fee is $678.10.
• A sign program with a Planned Development is creating sign standards for the entire Planned Development. These are typically the largest developments in the City, so the sign programs are usually more complex than a sign program for non-Planned Development sites. They assume 16 hours of staff time. Senior Planner is responsible for this work. Fee is $1,356.18.

City of Pasadena
• Murals are under "sign" permitting with fees; applicants pay one "Creative Sign" permit fee which is $992.00. The City has not yet responded to our request for further detailed information or cost breakdown.

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Lease Agreement for City Owned Property 250 North Orange Street

2. Motion Authorizing City Manager to execute a lease with Tenant at a base rent of $2,927 per month, following adoption of the Ordinance authorizing said lease, as subject to the review and approval as to form by the City Attorney.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action
Approved for September 1, 2026 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Economic Development Division is committed to supporting a robust downtown environment which includes a focus on arts, cultural amenities, and entertainment. A City-owned forefront located at 250 N. Orange Street has been leased to The Center for Armenian Arts (“Tenant”) since September 2023. That lease expired on January 31, 2026, and shifted to a month-to-month holdover. The lessee is seeking to extend their tenancy by an additional five years and continue programming the space for various arts exhibits, workshops, speaker series, and related activations.

Glendale City Charter Article VI, Section 15, requires the Council to adopt an ordinance for the lease of City-owned property for a period of longer than five (5) years. The City originally entered into a three-year lease with the Tenant in September 2023. This lease will extend the original and hold over term to total of eight (8) years. 191 of 410

9 RECOMMENDATION
That the Council introduce the Ordinance authorizing the City to enter into the proposed lease and adopt a motion authorizing the City Manager to execute said lease following adoption of the Ordinance.

ANALYSIS
The City of Glendale owns the Orange Street Garage, a public parking structure in downtown Glendale. Within the structure are two ground floor office suites, and the tenant space at 250 N. Orange has been leased to Knowledge Truck, Inc., (DBA The Center for Armenian Arts), since September 23, 2023. That lease expired on January 31, 2026, and shifted to a month-to-month holdover until this proposed lease which extends the term by an additional five years is executed, or other direction is provided by the City Council.

The site is 2,770 square feet, and the original rental amount was based on $1/square foot, which is lower than market rate, in order to help tenant activate the space within the City’s arts and culture corridor and support other economic development activities in the downtown area. The original lease included a base rent escalator linked to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) not to exceed 10% for any adjustment period. Based on the nature of the non-profit, and the desire to encourage and further develop the arts, entertainment, and cultural opportunities in the downtown, staff recommends continuing to offer this space at the cost of $1.00/square foot for an additional five-year term, with a new base rent of $2,927 a month based on the CPI adjustment. “Armenian Arts” DBA Knowledge Truck, Inc. is a Nonprofit California public benefit Corporation established January 22, 2015, as an “Educational & Cultural Endeavor with a Mission Statement” focused on increasing public awareness about Armenian culture and history through social activities and publications designed to promote and preserve the heritage and cultural identity of the Armenians. Armenian Arts links artists and audiences by presenting art exhibitions, acoustic performances, screenings, discussions, readings, workshops, and other unique gatherings. Since 2000 Armenian Arts has showcased exceptional Armenian talent in the fields of visual and musical arts.

Over the years, the organization has presented numerous prestigious events, including concerts at venues like the Hollywood Bowl, the J. Paul Getty Museum, Barnsdall Gallery Theatre, and the Ford Amphitheater. Armenian Arts published the “Armenian Arts” magazine, and the “Yes, We Have” series, which highlights Armenian contributions to humanity.

This tenant’s activity is in line with the City’s and community’s interests of supporting and contributing to a vibrant and vital downtown area which has been long-established as a arts and culture corridor in Glendale; this opportunity offers an appropriate utilization of the City’s property to support arts, culture and economic development in line with the City’s Economic Development Program set forth in Glendale Municipal Code Chapter 2.30.

If a non-compliance with such warranty exists as of the Start Date, or if one of such systems or elements should malfunction or fail within the appropriate warranty period, Lessor shall as Lessor's sole obligation with respect to such matter, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, promptly after receipt of written notice from Lessee setting forth with specificity the nature and extent of such noncompliance, malfunction or failure, rectify same at Lessor's expense. The warranty periods shall be as follows: (i) 6 months as to the HVAC systems, and (ii) 30 days as to the remaining systems and other elements of the Premises ("Warranty Period"). If Lessee does not give Lessor the required notice within the appropriate Warranty Period, correction of any such non-compliance, malfunction or failure shall be the obligation of Lessee at Lessee's sole cost and expense (except for the repairs to the fire sprinkler systems, roof, foundations, and/or bearing walls - see Paragraph 7).

2.3Compliance. Lessee is responsible for complying with all federal, state and local laws, statutes, regulations, ordinances including but not limited to environmental, hazardous materials, and toxic waste laws and zoning and land use requirements ("Applicable Requirements").

Upon obtaining a BRC, a copy of same shall be forwarded to Lessor for its files. Lessee acknowledges that past uses of the Premises may no longer be allowed. If any Applicable Requirements are hereafter changed, modified, or amended so as to require during the term of this Lease the construction of an addition to or an alteration of the Premises or Building, the remediation of any Hazardous Substance, or the reinforcement or other physical modification of the Premises or Building ('Capital Expenditure"), Lessor and Lessee shall allocate the cost of such work as follows:
(a) Subject to Paragraph 2.3(c), if such Capital Expenditure is required as a result of the specific and unique use of the Premises by Lessee as compared with uses by tenants in general, Lessee shall be fully responsible for the cost thereof, provided, however that if such Capital Expenditure is required during the last two (2) years of this Lease and the cost 196 of 410

4 1
7 9

thereof exceeds six (6) months' Base Rent, Lessee may instead terminate this Lease. In such event, Lessor shall notify Lessee, in writing, within ten (10) days after receipt of Lessee's termination notice that Lessor has elected to pay the difference between the actual cost thereof and the amount equal to six (6) months' Base Rent. If Lessee elects termination and Lessor does not pay the difference in the actual cost thereof and six (6) month's Base Rent, Lessee shall immediately cease the use of the Premises which requires such Capital Expenditure and deliver to Lessor a written notice specifying a termination date at least ninety (90) days thereafter. Such termination date shall, however, in no event be earlier than the last day that Lessee could legally utilize the Premises without incurring such Capital Expenditure. (b) If such Capital Expenditure is not the result of the specific and unique use of the Premises by Lessee (such as, governmentally mandated seismic modifications), then Lessor and Lessee shall allocate the obligation to pay for the portion of such costs reasonably attributable to the Premises pursuant to the formula set out in Paragraph 7.1 (d); provided, however, that if such Capital Expenditure is required during the last two (2) years of this Lease or if Lessor reasonably determines that it is not economically feasible to pay its share thereof, Lessor shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to Lessee unless Lessee notifies Lessor, in writing, within ten (10) days after receipt of Lessor's termination notice that Lessee will pay for such Capital Expenditure. If Lessor does not elect to terminate and fails to tender its share of any such Capital Expenditure, Lessee may advance such funds and deduct same, with Interest, as defined in Paragraph 13.5/from Rent until Lessor's share of such costs have been fully paid. If Lessee is unable to finance Lessor's share, or if the balance of the Rent due and payable for the remainder of this Lease is not sufficient to fully reimburse Lessee on an offset basis, Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days' written notice to Lessor.
(c) Notwithstanding the above, the provisions concerning Capital Expenditures are intended to apply only to non-voluntary, unexpected, and new Applicable Requirements. If the Capital Expenditures are instead triggered by Lessee as a result of an actual or proposed change in use, change in intensity of use, or modification to the Premises, Lessee shall be fully responsible for the cost thereof, and Lessee shall not have any right to terminate this Lease.

2.4Acknowledgements. Lessee acknowledges that: (a) it has been advised by Lessor to satisfy itself with respect to the condition of the Premises (including but not limited to the electrical, HVAC and fire sprinkler systems, security, environmental aspects, and compliance with Applicable Requirements and the Americans with Disabilities Act), and their suitability for Lessee's intended use, (b) Lessee has made such investigation as it deems necessary with reference to such matters and assumes all responsibility therefor as the same relate to its occupancy of the Premises, and (c) neither Lessor, nor Lessor's agents have made any oral or written representations or warranties with respect to said matters other than as set forth in this Lease.

Consent shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee's: (i) acquiring alt applicable governmental permits, (ii) furnishing Lessor with copies of both the permits and the plans and specifications prior to commencement of the work, and (iii) compliance with all conditions of said permits and other Applicable Requirements in a prompt and expeditious manner.

be performed in a workmanlike manner with good and sufficient materials. Lessee shall promptly upon completion furnish Lessor with as-built plans and specifications. (c)Indemnification. Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at or for use on the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanic's or materialman's lien against the Premises or any interest therein. Lessee shall give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior to the commencement of any work in, on or about the Premises, and Lessor shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility. If Lessee shall contest the validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee shall, at its sole expense defend and protect itself, Lessor and the Premises against the same and shall pay and satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before the enforcement thereof. If Lessor shalt require, Lessee shall furnish a surety bond in an amount equal to 150% of the amount of such contested lien, claim or demand, indemnifying Lessor against liability for the same. If Lessor elects to participate in any such action, Lessee shall pay Lessor's attorneys' fees and costs.

7.4 Ownership; Removal; Surrender; and Restoration.
(a)Ownership. Subject to Lessors right to require removal or elect ownership as hereinafter provided, all Alterations and Utility Installations made by Lessee shall be the property of Lessee, but considered a part of the Premises. Lessor may, at any time, elect in writing to be the owner of all or any specified part of the Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Unless otherwise instructed per Paragraph 7.4(b), all Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations shall, at the expiration or termination of this Lease, become the property of Lessor and be surrendered by Lessee with the Premises. (b)Removal. By delivery to Lessee of written notice from Lessor not earlier than 90 and not later than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the term of this Lease, Lessor may require that any or all Lessee Owned Alterations or Utility Installations be removed by the expiration or termination of this Lease. Lessor may require the removal at any time of all or any part of any Lessee's Owned Alterations or Utility installations made without the required consent.
(c)Surrender; Restoration. Lessee shall surrender the Premises by the Expiration Date or any earlier termination date, with all of the improvements, parts and surfaces thereof broom clean and free of debris, and in good operating order, condition and state of repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Lease is for twelve (12) months or less, then Lessee shall surrender the Premises in the same condition as delivered to Lessee on the Commencement Date with no allowance for ordinary wear and tear. Lessee shall repair any damage occasioned by the installation, maintenance or removal of Trade Fixtures, Lessee owned Alterations and/or Utility Installations, furnishings, and equipment as well as the removal of any storage tank installed by or for Lessee. Lessee shall also completely remove from the Premises any and all Hazardous Substances brought onto the Premises by or for Lessee, or any third party (except Hazardous Substances which were deposited via underground migration from areas outside of the Premises) even if such removal would require Lessee to perform or pay for work that exceeds statutory requirements. Trade Fixtures shall remain the property of Lessee and shall be removed by Lessee. The failure by Lessee to timely vacate the Premises pursuant to this Paragraph 7.4(c) without the express written consent of Lessor shall constitute a holdover under the provisions of Paragraph 26.

"The City of Glendale, its officers, agents and employees are added as additional insureds under this policy. This insurance is primary to the coverage of the City of Glendale. The City of Glendale and any of their insurers shall not be required to contribute to any loss. The insurance shall apply separately to each insured. The issuing company shall mail thirty (30) days advance notice to the City of Glendale of any policy cancellation, termination or reduction of the stated limits." Additionally, the certificate of insurance shall state if any claim has been paid or is currently pending under the policy, and if so, the amount of the claim(s) and the amount of liability limits as lowered by the paid or pending claim(s). Any deductibles or self-insured retentions shall be set forth on the certificate and shall be subject to Lessor's review and approval. 207 of 410

Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, and Lessee's personal property shall be insured by Lessee under Paragraph 8.4. If the coverage is available and commercially appropriate, such policy or policies shall insure against all risks of direct physical loss or damage (except the perils of flood and/or earthquake unless required by a Lender), including coverage for debris removal and the enforcement of any Applicable Requirements requiring the upgrading, demolition, reconstruction or replacement of any portion of the Premises as the result of a covered loss.

The effect of such releases and waivers is not limited by the amount of insurance carried or required, or by any deductibles applicable hereto.

The Parties agree to have their respective property damage insurance carriers waive any right to subrogation that such companies may have against Lessor or Lessee, as the case may be, so long as the insurance is not invalidated thereby.

8.7Indemnity. Except for Lessor's gross negligence or willful misconduct, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Lessor and its agents, officers, and employees, and representatives, from and against any and all suits, actions, causes of action, proceedings, decrees, settlements, losses, injuries, claims, loss of rents and/or damages, liens, judgments, penalties, attorneys' and consultants' fees, expenses and/or liabilities, actual or alleged, in contract or in ton; or for bodily injury (including accidental death) personal injury or property damage arising out of, involving, or in connection with, Lessee's use and/or occupancy of the Premises by Lessee. Lessee's obligation to indemnify, defend, and hold Lessor harmless will remain in effect and will be binding upon Lessee whether the liability, or the expense, or both, accrues—or is discovered—before or after this Lease's expiration, cancellation, or termination. This Paragraph 8.7 is separate and independent from the insurance provisions in Paragraphs 8.2 — 8.6, are neither limited to nor capped at the coverage amounts specified under said insurance provisions, and do not limit, in any way, the applicability, scope, or obligations of said insurance provisions.

Lessor need not have first paid any such claim in order to be defended or indemnified.

8.8Exemption of Lessor from Liability. Lessor shall not be liable for injury or damage to the person or goods, wares, merchandise or other property of Lessee, Lessee's employees, contractors, invitees, customers, or any other person in or about the Premises, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, HVAC or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause whatsoever, whether said injury or damage results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the Building, or from other sources or places. Lessor shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or negligence of any other tenant of Lessor nor from the failure of Lessor to enforce the provisions of any other lease in the Building. Notwithstanding Lessors negligence or 209 of 410

17 1

breach of this Lease, Lessor shall under no circumstances be liable for injury to Lessee's business or for any loss of income or profit therefrom.

9.Damage or Destruction.

9.1Definitions.
(a) "Premises Partial Damage" shall mean damage or destruction to the improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, which can reasonably be repaired in three (3) months or less from the date of the damage or destruction, and the cost thereof does not exceed a sum equal to six (6) month's Base Rent.

Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing within thirty (30) days from the date of the damage or destruction as to whether or not the damage is Partial or Total. (b) "Premises Total Destruction" shall mean damage or destruction to the improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures, which cannot reasonably be repaired in three (3) months or less from the date of the damage or destruction and/or the cost thereof exceeds a sum equal to six (6) month's Base Rent. Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing within thirty (30) days from the date of the damage or destruction as to whether or not the damage is Partial or Total. (c) "Insured Loss" shall mean damage or destruction to improvements on the Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures, which was caused by an event required to be covered by the insurance described in Paragraph

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the required insurance was not in force or the insurance process are not sufficient to effect such repair, the Insuring Party shall promptly contribute the shortage in proceeds as and when required to complete said repairs. In the event, however such shortage was due to the fact that, by reason of the unique nature of the improvements, full replacement cost Insurance coverage was not commercially reasonable and available Lessor shall have no obligation to pay for the shortage in insurance proceeds or to fully restore the unique aspects of the Premises unless Lessee provides Lessor with the funds to cover same, or adequate assurance thereof, within ten (10) days, following receipt of written notice of such shortage and request therefore. If Lessor receives said funds or adequate assurance thereof within said ten 210 of 410

18 1

(10) day period, the party responsible for making the repairs shall complete them as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If such funds or assurance are not received, Lessor may nevertheless elect by written notice to Lessee within ten (10) days thereafter to: (i) make such restoration and repair as is commercially reasonable with Lessor paying any shortage in proceeds, in which case this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, or (ii) have this Lease shall terminate three (3) days thereafter.

Such termination shall be effective sixty (60) days following the date of such notice. In the event Lessor elects to terminate this Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days after receipt of the termination notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's commitment to pay for the repair of such damage without reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall provide Lessor with said funds or satisfactory assurance thereof within thirty (30) days after making such commitment. In such event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such repairs as soon as reasonably possible after the required funds are available.

9.6 Abatement of Rent; Lessee's Remedies.
(a)Abatement. In the event of Premises Partial Damage or Premises Total Destruction or a Hazardous Substance Condition for which Lessee is not responsible under this Lease, the Rent payable by Lessee for the period required for the repair, remediation or restoration of such damage shall be abated in proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is impaired, but not to exceed the proceeds received from the Rental Value insurance. All other obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be performed by Lessee, and Lessor shall have no liability for any such damage, destruction, remediation, repair or restoration except as provided herein.

(b)Remedies. If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises and does not commence, in a substantial and meaningful way, such repair or restoration within ninety (90) days after such obligation shall accrue, Lessee may, at any time prior to the commencement of such repair or restoration, give written notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has actual notice, of Lessee's election to terminate this Lease on a date not less than sixty (60) days following the giving of such notice. If Lessee gives such notice and such repair or restoration is not commenced within thirty (30) days thereafter, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in said notice.

12.Assignment and Subletting.

12.1Lessor's Consent Required.
(a) Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage or encumber (collectively, "assign or assignment") or sublet all or any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent.

(b) Lessor may accept Rent or performance of Lessee's obligations from any person other than Lessee pending approval or disapproval of an assignment. Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment nor the acceptance of Rent or performance shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies against Lessee for Default or Breach of this Lease.
(c) Lessor's consent to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting.

(d) In the event of any Default or Breach by Lessee, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee, any Guarantors or anyone else responsible for the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, including any assignee or sublessee, without first exhausting Lessors remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor to Lessor, or any security held by Lessor.
(e) Each request for consent to an assignment or subletting shall be in writing, accompanied by information relevant to Lessor's determination as to the legal, financial and operational responsibility and appropriateness of the proposed assignee or sublessee, including but not limited to the intended use and/or required modification of the Premises, if any, together with a fee of $1,000 or ten percent (10%) of the current monthly Base Rent applicable to the portion of the Premises which is the subject of the proposed assignment or sublease, whichever is greater, as consideration for Lessor's considering and processing said request.

Lessee agrees to provide Lessor with such other or additional information and/or documentation as may be reasonably requested.
(f) Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall, by reason of accepting such assignment or entering into such sublease, be deemed to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and every term, covenant, condition and obligation herein to be observed or performed by Lessee during the term of said assignment or Sublease, other than such obligations as are contrary to or inconsistent with provisions of an assignment or sublease to which Lessor has specifically consented to in writing. (g) Lessors consent to any assignment or subletting shall not transfer to the assignee or sublessee any option that Lessor may grant in its sole and absolute discretion to extend this Lease unless Lessor consents in writing to such transfer in advance of such assignment or subletting (see Paragraph 39.2), and Lessor has approved assignee's or sublessee's proof of insurance and endorsement thereof, submitted for assignee in conformance with Paragraph 8.

12.3Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting. The following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Lessee of all or any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in all subleases under this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein:
(a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of Lessee's interest in all Rent payable on any sublease, and Lessor may collect such Rent and apply same toward Lessee's obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until a Breach shall occur in the performance of Lessee's obligations, Lessee may collect said Rent. Lessor shall neither, by reason of the foregoing or any assignment of such sublease, nor by reason of the collection of Rent, be deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of Lessee to perform and comply with any of Lessee's obligations to such sublessee. Lessee hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor stating that a Breach exists in the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, to pay to Lessor all Rent due and to become due under the sublease. Sublessee shall rely upon any such notice from Lessor and shall pay all Rents to Lessor without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such Breach exists, notwithstanding any claim from Lessee to the contrary. (b) In the event of a Breach by Lessee, Lessor may, at its option, require sublessee to attorn to Lessor, in which event Lessor shall undertake the obligations of the 214 of 410

(d) A Default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease, or of the rules adopted under Paragraph 2.9 hereof, other than those described in subparagraphs 13.1 (a), (b) or (c), above, where such Default continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice; provided, however, if the nature of Lessee's Default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then it shall not be deemed to be a Breach if Lessee commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.

(e) The occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the making of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) becoming a "debtor" as defined in 11 U.S.C. S 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee within three (3) days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days; provided, however, in the event that any provision of this subparagraph (e) is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect, and not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. (f) The discovery that any financial statement of Lessee or of any Guarantor given to Lessor was materially false.
(g) If the performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease is guaranteed: (i) the death of a Guarantor, (ii) the termination of a Guarantors liability with respect to this Lease other than in accordance with the terms of such guaranty, (iii) a Guarantor's becoming insolvent or the subject of a bankruptcy filing, (iv) a Guarantor's refusal to honor the guaranty, or (v) a Guarantor's breach of its guaranty obligation on an anticipatory basis, and Lessee's failure, within sixty (60) days following written notice of any such event, to provide written alternative assurance or security, which, when coupled with the then existing resources of Lessee, equals or exceeds the combined financial resources of Lessee and the Guarantors that existed at the time of execution of this Lease.

13.2Remedies. If Lessee fails to perform any of its affirmative duties or obligations, within ten (10) days after written notice (or in case of an emergency, without notice), Lessor may, at its option, perform such duty or obligation on Lessee's behalf, including but not limited to the obtaining of reasonably required bonds, insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or approvals. The costs and expenses of any such performance by Lessor shall be due and payable by Lessee upon receipt of invoice therefor. If any check given to Lessor by Lessee shall not be honored by the bank upon which it is drawn, Lessor, at its option, may require all future payments to be made by Lessee to be by cashier's check. In the event of a Breach, Lessor may, with or without further notice or demand, and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such Breach:
(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall immediately surrender possession to Lessor. In such event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination: (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by the Lessee's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including but not limited to the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorney's fees, and that portion of any leasing commission paid by Lessor in connection with this Lease applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease. The worth at the time 216 of 410

24 1
7 9
4 0
of award of the amount referred to in provision (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of the District within which the Premises are located at the time of award plus one percent. Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages caused by Lessee's Breach of this Lease shall not waive Lessor's right to recover damages under Paragraph 12. If termination of this Lease is obtained through the provisional remedy of unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have the right to recover in such proceeding any unpaid Rent and damages as are recoverable therein, or Lessor may reserve the right to recover all or any part thereof in a separate suit. If a notice and grace period required under Paragraph 13.1 was not previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit given to Lessee under the unlawful detainer statute shall also constitute the notice required by Paragraph 13.1. In such case, the applicable grace period required by Paragraph 13.1 and the unlawful detainer statute shall run concurrently, and the failure of Lessee to cure the Default within the greater of the two such grace periods shall constitute both an unlawful detainer and a Breach of this Lease entitling Lessor to the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or by said statute.
(b) Continue the Lease and Lessee's right to possession and recover the Rent as it becomes due, in which event Lessee may sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet, and/or the appointment of a receiver to protect the Lessor's interests, shall not constitute a termination of the Lessee's right to possession. (c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available under-the-laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises is located. The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the termination of Lessee's right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from liability under any indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing during the term hereof or by reason of Lessee's occupancy of the Premises.

13.3Inducement Recapture. Any agreement for free or abated rent or other charges, or for the giving or paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of any cash or other bonus, inducement or consideration for Lessee's entering into this Lease, all of which concessions are hereinafter referred to as "Inducement Provisions", shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee's full and faithful performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Upon Breach of this Lease by Lessee, any such Inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted from this Lease and of no further force or effect, and any rent, other charge, bonus, inducement or consideration theretofore abated, given or paid by Lessor under such an Inducement Provision shall be immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor, notwithstanding any subsequent cure of said Breach by Lessee. The acceptance by Lessor of rent or the cure of the Breach which initiated the operation of this paragraph shall not be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the provisions of this paragraph unless specifically so stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such acceptance.

13.4Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee of Rent will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Lessor by any Lender.

Accordingly, if any Rent shall not be received by Lessor within five (5) days after such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement of notice to Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a one-time late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of each such overdue amount or $100, whichever is greater.

The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of such late payment. Acceptance of such late 217 of 410

25 1
7 9
4 0
charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's Default or Breach with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent the exercise of any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three consecutive installments of Base Rent, then notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor's option, become due and payable quarterly in advance.

13.5Interest. Any monetary payment due Lessor hereunder, other than late charges, not received by Lessor, when due as to scheduled payments (such as Base Rent) or within thirty (30) days following the date on which it was due for non-scheduled payment, shall bear interest from the date when due, as to scheduled payments, or the 31 st day after it was due as to non-scheduled payments. The interest ("Interest") charged shall be equal to the prime rate reported in the Wall Street Journal as published closest prior to the date when due plus four percent (4%) but shall not exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. Interest is payable in addition to the potential late charge provided for in Paragraph 13.4.

13.6Breach by Lessor.
(a)Notice of Breach. Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of this Lease unless Lessor fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation required to be performed by Lessor. For purposes of this Paragraph, a reasonable time shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessor, of written notice specifying wherein such obligation of Lessor has not been performed; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its performance, then Lessor shall not be in breach if performance is commenced within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion.
(b)Performance by Lessee on Behalf of Lessor. In the event that neither Lessor cures said breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of said notice, or if having commenced said cure they do not diligently pursue it to completion, then Lessee may elect to cure said breach at Lessee's expense and offset from Rent an amount equal to the greater of one month's Base Rent or the Security Deposit, and to pay an excess of such expense under protest, reserving Lessee's right to reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee shall document the cost of said cure and supply said documentation to Lessor.

14.Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power (collectively "Condemnation"), this Lease shall terminate as to the part taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs. If more than ten percent (10%) of the floor area of the Premises, is taken by Condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing within ten (10) days after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the Base Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in utility of the Premises caused by such Condemnation. Condemnation awards and/or payments shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold, the value of the part taken, or for severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any compensation for Lessee's relocation expenses, loss of business goodwill and/or Trade Fixtures, without regard to whether or not this Lease is 218 of 410

26 1
7 9
4 0
terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 14. All Alterations and Utility Installations made to the Premises by Lessee, for purposes of Condemnation only, shall be considered the property of the Lessee and Lessee shall be entitled to any and all compensation which is payable therefor. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of the Condemnation, Lessor shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by such Condemnation.

15.Brokerage Fees. The Parties agree that there are no brokerage fees involved in this transaction.

16.Estoppel Certificates.
(a) Each Party (as "Responding Party") shall within ten (10) days after written notice from the other Party (the "Requesting Party") execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Requesting Party an estoppel statement in recordable form certifying that the Lease is unmodified and is in full force and effect (if such is the case), certifying the commencement and termination dates of the Lease Term, certifying that there has been no assignment or sublease of this Lease, certifying that there are no uncured defaults in the Requesting Party's performance, and that there are no defenses or offsets hereto (or stating those claim), and containing such other information as may be reasonably requested by the Requesting Party (the "Estoppel Certificate").
(b) If the Responding Party shall fail to execute or deliver the EstoppelCertificate within such ten (10) day period, the Requesting Party may execute an Estoppel Certificate stating that: (i) the Lease is in full force and effect without modification except as may be represented by the Requesting Party, (ii) there are no uncured defaults in the Requesting Party's performance, and (iii) if Lessor is the Requesting Party, not more than one month's rent has been paid in advance. Prospective purchasers and encumbrances may rely upon the Requesting Party's Estoppel Certificate, and the Responding Party shall be estopped from denying the truth of the facts contained in said Certificate. (c) If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Premises, or any part thereof, Lessee and ail Guarantors shall offer to any potential lender or purchaser designated by Lessor such financial statements as may be reasonably required by such lender or purchaser, including but not limited to Lessee's financial statements for the past three (3) years. All such financial statements shall be received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth.

17.Definition of Lessor. The term "Lessor" as used herein means the owner or owners at the time in question of the fee title to the Premises, or, if this is a sublease, of the Lessee's interest in the prior lease. In the event of a transfer of Lessor's title or interest in the Premises or this Lease, Lessor shall deliver to the transferee or assignee (in cash or by credit) any unused Security Deposit held by Lessor. upon such transfer or assignment and delivery of the Security Deposit, as aforesaid, the prior Lessor shall be relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations and/or covenants under this Lease thereafter to be performed by the Lessor.

Notwithstanding the above, and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 20 herein below, the original Lessor under this Lease and all subsequent holders of the Lessor's interest in this Lease shall remain liable and responsible with regard to the potential duties and liabilities of Lessor pertaining to Hazardous Substances as outlined in Paragraph 6.2 herein above.

30.Subordination; Attornment; Non-Disturbance.

30.1Subordination. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or other hypothecation or security device (collectively, "Security Device"), now or hereafter placed upon the Premises, to any and all advances made on the security thereof, any all the renewals, modifications, and extensions thereof. Lessee agrees that the holders that any such Security Devices (in this Lease together referred to as "Lender") shall have no liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Lessor under the Lease. Any Lender may elect to have this Lease superior to the lien of its Security Device by giving written notice thereof to Lessee, whereupon this Lease shall be deemed prior to such Security Device, notwithstanding the relative dates of the documentation or recordation thereof.

30.2Attornment. In the event that Lessor transfers title to the Premises, or the Premises are acquired by another upon the foreclosure or termination of a Security Device to which the Lease is subordinated (i) Lessee shall, subject to the nondisturbance provisions of Paragraph 30.3, attorn to such new owner, and upon the request, enter into a new lease, containing all of the terms and provisions of this Lease, with such new owner for the remainder of the term hereof, or, at the election of such new owner, this Lease shall automatically become a new Lease between Lessee and such new owner, upon all of the terms and conditions hereof, for the remainder of the term hereof, and (ii) Lessor shall thereafter be relieved of any further obligations hereunder and such new owner shall assume all of Lessor's obligations hereunder, except that such new owner shall not: (a) be liable of any act of omission of any prior Lessor or with respect to events occurring prior to acquisition of ownership; (b) be subject to any offsets or defenses which Lessee might have against any prior Lessor, (c) be bound by prepayment of more than one month's rent, or (d) be liable for the return of any security deposit paid to any prior Lessor.

30.3Non-disturbance. With respect to Security Devices entered into by Lessor after the execution of this Lease, Lessee's subordination of this Lease shall be subject to receiving a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement ("NonDisturbance Agreement") from the Lender which Non-Disturbance Agreement provides that Lessee's possession of the premises, and this Lease, including any options to extend the term hereof, if granted by Lessor, will not be disturbed so long as the Lessee is not in Breach hereof and attorns to the record owner of the Premises. Further, within sixty (60) days after the execution of this Lease, Lessor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Non-Disturbance Agreement from the holder of any preexisting Security Device which is secured by the Premises. In the event that Lessor is unable to provide the Non-Disturbance Agreement within said sixty (60) days, then Lessee may, at Lessee's option, directly contact Lender at attempt to negotiate for the execution and delivery of a Non-Disturbance Agreement.

30.4Self-Executing. The agreements contained in Paragraph 30 shall be effective without the execution of any further documents; provided, however, that, upon written request from Lessor or Lender in connection of the sale, financing or refinancing of the Premises, Lessee and Lessor shall execute such further writings as maybe reasonably required to separately document any subordination, attornment and/or NonDisturbance Agreement provided for herein.

The term, "Prevailing Party" means, without limitation, a Party who substantially obtains or defeats the relief sought, as the case maybe, whether by compromise, settlement, judgment, or the abandonment of the other Party of its claim or defense. The attorneys' fees award shall not be computed in accordance with any court fee schedule but shall be such as to fully reimburse all attorneys' fees reasonably incurred. Lessor shall be entitled to attorneys' fees, cost and expenses incurred in the preparation and service of notices of Default and consultation in connection therewith, whether or not legal action is subsequently commenced in connection with such Default or resulting Breach.

32.Lessor's Access; Showing Premises; Repairs.

35.Termination; Merger. Unless specifically stated otherwise in writing by Lessor, the voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, the mutual termination or cancellation hereof, or a termination hereof by Lessor for Breach by Lessee, shall automatically terminate any sublease or lesser estate in the Premises; provided, however, that Lessor may elect to continue anyone or all existing subtenancies. Lessor's failure within ten (10) days following any such event to elect to the contrary by written notice to the holder of any such lesser interest, shall constitute Lessor's election to have such event constitute the termination of such interest.

36.Consents.

Lessor's consent to any act, assignment or subletting shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no Default or Breach by Lessee of this Lease exists, nor shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing Default or Breach, except as may be otherwise specifically stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such consent. The failure to specify herein any particular condition to Lessor's consent shall not preclude the imposition by Lessor at the time of consent of such further or other conditions as are then reasonable with reference to the particular matter for which consent 223 of 410

31 1
7 9
4 0
is being given. In the event that either Party disagrees with any determination made by the other hereunder and reasonably requests the reasons for such determination, the determining party shall furnish its reasons in writing and in reasonable detail within ten (10) days following such request.

(b) current financial statements;
(c) an Estoppel Certificate; or
(d) written confirmation that the Guaranty is still in effect.

Lessee agrees to sign any documents reasonably requested by lessor to effectuate such rights.

42.Performance under Protest. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to any amount or sum of money to be paid by one Party to the other under the provisions hereof, the Party against whom the obligation to pay the money is assented shall have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment shall not be regarded as voluntary payment and there shall survive the right on the part of said Party to institute suit for recovery of such sum.

32 1

The investment objective is as follows:

a. Objective - The primary investment objectives of this portfolio are preservation of principal and liquidity; income or yield is a SECONDARY objective.
b. Risk tolerance - Because most of the principal of the fund will be paid out over the course of the fiscal year, volatility of principal is not permitted.

c. Rate of return - The annual time-weighted rate of return of this portfolio should at least meet the annual total return on three-month Treasury bills.
d. ESG Responsibilities - In addition to and subordinate to the Safety, Liquidity, and Yield investment objectives, investments that support sound environmental, social and governance (ESG) objectives are also considered.

• Social Considerations such as Community Relations, Diversity, Labor Standards and specifically Human Rights.
• Governance considerations such as Board Composition, Corruption and Lobbying that does not align with the city’s ESG policy.

There is no one specific and exhaustive list of ESG issues that should be considered, the specifics above are a baseline, and additional is sues should be considered from a moral and ethical perspective. Specific issues that will be considered include refraining from investments in entities that engage in direct production and/or drilling of fossil fuels, entities that lobby and deny the Holocaust and Genocide and entities that discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation) national origin, age or disability.
