the loss shall be borne by each Party in proportion to its negligence. For the purposes of this article (i) “Third party” shall not include Buyer or any subsequent owner of the Equipment, their subsidiaries, parents, affiliates, agents, successors or assigns including any operation or maintenance contractor, or their insurer; and (ii) no portion of the Equipment is “third party property”.
8. Compliance with Laws and Permits. All permits, authorizations, and licenses which are required to construct, install and/or operate Buyer’s facility or equipment, to use the Equipment, or to manage and dispose of any wastes, discharges, and residues resulting from Buyer ’s use of the Equipment, shall be obtained and maintained by Buyer at Buyer’s sole expense. Buyer is responsible for compliance with all laws and regulations applicable to the storage, use, handling, installation, maintenance, removal, registration, and labeling of all Equipment after delivery of the Equipment, as well as for the proper management and disposal of all wastes, discharges, and residues.
9. Buyer ’s Site Conditions. Buyer warrants that any data furnished to the Seller concerning conditions at Buyer’s site (including but not limited to any existing Buyer facility, equipment or processes, influent water or other substances to be treated or measured with the Equipment) is accurate and complete, and the Seller reserves the right to utilize the most appropriate design compatible with generally accepted engineering practices, and to make changes in details of design, manufacture and arrangement of Equipment unless precluded by any limitations specified in this Agreement. Seller shall notify Buyer of (1) any conditions at Buyer ’s site which materially differ from those indicated in the data furnished by Buyer, (2) any previously unknown physical conditions at Buyer’s site of an unusual nature, not revealed by previous investigations and differing from those ordinarily encountered in the type of work provided for in this Agreement, and (3) the presence of any Hazardous Materials (as defined below), the existence of a contaminated soil, unexploded ordinance, or archaeological remains. If such conditions cause an increase in Seller's cost or in the time required for the performance of Seller ’s obligations, Seller shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in the Agreement price and an extension in the time for performance.
10. Hazardous Materials and Wastes. In the event that Seller encounters any Hazardous Materials (meaning toxic substances, hazardous substances, pollutants, contaminants, regulated wastes, or hazardous wastes as such terms may be defined or classified in any law, statute, directive, ordinance or regulations promulgated by any applicable governmental entity) at Buyer ’s site, other than Hazardous Materials introduced by Seller or that are otherwise the express responsibility of Seller under this Agreement, Buyer shall immediately take whatever precautions are required to legally eliminate such Hazardous Materials so that the Seller’s work under this Agreement may safely proceed. At no time shall Seller be deemed to have taken title to or the responsibility for the management or disposal of any wastes, Hazardous Materials, influent water, any resultant product streams, wastewater streams, discharges, cleaning materials, or any other materials or substances processed by the Equipment or otherwise located at Buyer ’s site. Seller does not take responsibility for and hereby expressly disclaims responsibility for the characterization or disposal of wastes, Hazardous Materials, or for the identification, selection, or management of disposal facilities for any wastes.
11. Excusable Delays. Seller shall not be liable nor in breach or default of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent performance of such obligations is delayed or prevented, directly or indirectly, due to causes beyond the reasonable control of Seller, including, but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, unusually severe weather, fire, terrorism, war (declared or undeclared) epidemics, material shortages, insurrection, act (or omissions) of Buyer or Buyer’s contractors/suppliers or agents, any act (or omission) by any governmental authority, strikes, labor disputes, transportation shortages, or vendor non-performance. The delivery or performance date shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of delay or non-performance, plus such additional time as may be necessary to overcome the effect of the delay or non-performance. If delivery or performance is delayed for a period exceeding 180 (one hundred and eighty) days, either Party may terminate this Agreement without further liability provided that Seller shall be paid an amount equal to that which would be payable to Seller under the article entitled “Termination”. If Seller is delayed by any acts (or omissions) of Buyer, or by the prerequisite work of Buyer ’s other contractors or suppliers, Seller shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in schedule, price and/or performance, as applicable.
12. Emergencies. If the safety of Seller’s personnel is threatened or likely to be threatened by circumstances outside the reasonable control of Seller, including but not limited to war, armed conflict, civil unrest, riots, terrorism, kidnapping, presence of or exposure to hazardous materials, unsafe working conditions, or by the threat of such circumstances or a lack of adequate protections against such circumstances, Seller shall be entitled to take all necessary steps to ensure the security and safety of its personnel including the evacuation of personnel until such Veolia Confidential and Proprietary Information

circumstances no longer apply. Any such occurrence shall be considered an excusable delay event. Buyer shall reasonably assist in the event of any such evacuation.
13. Confidentiality, Intellectual Property. Both Parties agree to keep confidential the other Party’s proprietary non-public information, if any, which may be acquired in connection with this Agreement. Buyer will not, without Seller’s advance written consent, subject Equipment to testing, analysis, or any type of reverse engineering. Seller retains all intellectual property rights including copyright which it has in all drawings and data or other deliverables (including the Equipment) supplied or developed under this Agreement. Buyer agrees that it will not file patent applications on the Equipment or any development or enhancement of the Equipment, or of processes and methods of using the Equipment, without Seller ’s express prior written permission. Buyer further agrees that in any event any such patents will not be asserted against Seller or its other buyers based upon purchase and use of such Equipment. Seller grants to Buyer a non-exclusive, non-terminable, royalty free license to use the intellectual property embedded in Equipment delivered to and paid for by the Buyer, as well as any drawings, design or data delivered to and paid for by the Buyer, for the purposes of owning, financing, using, operating and maintaining the relevant Equipment at Buyer’s site. Such license may only be assigned to a subsequent owner of the Equipment or to an operations and maintenance subcontractor. Such license does not extend to the re-creation of the Equipment or the manufacture of spares or consumables by Buyer or third parties.
Any software Seller owns and provides pursuant to this Agreement shall remain Seller’s property. Seller provides to Buyer a limited, non-exclusive and terminable royalty free project-specific license to such software for the use, operation or maintenance at Buyer’s site of any Equipment purchased hereunder to which the software is a necessary component. Buyer agrees not to copy, sub-license, translate, transfer, reverse engineer, or decode the software.
Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from any rightful claim of any third party that any Equipment or Service infringe a patent in effect in the USA, or country of delivery (provided there is a corresponding patent issued by the USA), or USA copyright or copyright registered in the country of delivery. If the Buyer notifies the Seller promptly of the receipt of any such claim, does not take any position adverse to the Seller regarding such claim and gives the Seller information, assistance and exclusive authority to settle and defend the claim, the Seller shall, at its own expense and choice, either (i) settle or defend the claim and pay all damages and costs awarded in it against the Buyer, or (ii) procure for the Buyer the right to continue using the Equipment or Service, or (iii) modify or replace the Equipment or Service so that it becomes non-infringing, or (iv) remove the infringing Equipment and refund the price. The above paragraph shall not apply to any misuse of Equipment or Equipment which is manufactured to the Buyer’s design, or to alleged infringement arising from the combination, operation, or use of any Equipment or Services with other equipment or services when such combination is part of any allegedly infringing subject matter. The foregoing list of sub-sections (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) and related terms state the entire liability of the Seller for intellectual property infringement by any Equipment or Service.
14. Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, to the maximum extent permitted by law, and regardless of whether a claim is based in contract (including warranty or indemnity), extra-contractual liability, tort (including negligence or strict liability), statute, equity or any other legal theory:

Alternatively, if any schedule of termination payments has been agreed between the Parties, Buyer shall pay to Seller within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice the amounts set out in that schedule.
Seller shall have the right to suspend performance upon written notice to Buyer in any case where Seller would have the right to terminate the Agreement under this article, without prejudice to Seller ’s right to terminate this Agreement for cause. Any cost incurred by Seller in accordance with any such suspension (including storage costs) shall be payable by Buyer upon submission of the Seller ’s invoice(s). Performance of the Seller ’s obligations shall be extended for a period of time reasonably necessary to overcome the effects of such suspension.

STAFF REPORT
HOLLISTER CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: April 6, 2026
REPORT # Public Works-2026-16
AGENDA ITEM: A RESOLUTION RATIFYING ADDITIONAL SEWER WORK,
APPROVING A FUND TRANSFERS, AND RELATED BUDGET ADJUSTMENT, FOR
THE WEST GATEWAY ROUNDABOUT PROJECT, AND AUTHORIZING AN
AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT WITH GRANITE ROCK COMPANY
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
DEPARTMENT HEAD: Javier Hernandez, Public Works Director
COUNCIL NEXT STEPS: Adopt a resolution:
1. Ratifying additional sewer work performed within the project limits in the amount of $103,480, which was not included in the prior resolution approved by Council; and
2. Approving a transfer, and related budget adjustment, of an additional $103,480 from the Sewer Enterprise Fund (Fund 660) to Fund 275 to cover the cost of this additional sewer work; and
3. Authorizing the City Manager to amend the contract with Granite Rock Company to reflect this additional sewer work and adjust the total contract amount from $4,547,134 to $4,650,614.
DISCUSSION: The City of Hollister is currently finishing the West Gateway Roundabout Project, which is partially funded through a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). During construction, the City identified several deteriorated sewer utility holes located within the project limits. These utility holes serve the main trunk line that carries all City sewer flows to the wastewater treatment plant.
A prior resolution approved a fund transfer of $405,244 from the Sewer Enterprise Fund (Fund 660) to address unanticipated sewer-related work. After that approval, additional sewer work totaling $103,480 was performed within the project limits that were not included in the previously approved resolution. This work was necessary to address field conditions encountered during construction. Because this additional sewer work was not included in the prior Council action, staff is requesting that the City Council ratify the additional $103,480 expenditure, approve the associated transfer from the Sewer Enterprise Fund (Fund 660), and authorize an amendment to the Granite Rock Company contract to reflect this change.
In the future, we will allocate projects to specific funds during the budget process, and we will ensure that construction projects include contingencies.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Prior approved sewer-related transfer: $405,244 from Fund 660. Additional sewer-related transfer requested: $103,480 from Fund 660. Amendment to the Granite Rock Company contract to increase the total contract amount from $4,547,134 to $4,650,614.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL OR COMMISSION ACTION: Approval of Resolution 2025-16, 2025-149
CEQA: This action is exempt from CEQA, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, as it has no potential to result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

STAFF REPORT
HOLLISTER CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: April 6, 2026
REPORT # City Manager-2026-17
AGENDA ITEM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT REORGANIZATION
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
DEPARTMENT HEAD: Ana Cortez, City Manager
COUNCIL NEXT STEPS: Approve the consolidation of the Community Development Department into Public Works, Police, Finance, and Parks Departments leading to the elimination of three non-represented positions.
DISCUSSION: Section 10 of Personnel Policies indicates that when it becomes necessary to reduce the workforce, the City Manager shall designate the position(s) or classification(s), and division(s), department(s), or other organizational unit(s) in which positions are to be eliminated.
The City faces a crisis of public opinion directed at the Community Development Department; immediate action is necessary. The Community Development Department has specific functions that can and should be integrated into the Public Works, Police, Finance, and Parks Departments to make greater impact while achieving savings. The Public Works Department currently oversees infrastructure inspectors; this team will be expanded to include building inspectors. The Police Department oversees cannabis monitoring activities and will absorb additional activities. The Finance Department currently oversees the Utility Counter and integration of the Permitting Desk will be strategic, logical and will lead to better customer service outcomes. Finally, the Parks Department will significantly increase its capacity to better plan for beautification of Hollister while improving outcomes from his team.
Alas, the elimination of the Department leads to layoffs of non-represented positions that are fully funded with General Fund dollars. The Community Development Director/Assistant City Manager, the Building Official and the Cannabis Affairs Manager positions will be eliminated. There are no contract, provisional or temporary employees in the same classification as these positions that could be laid off first per Rule, § 10, subd. B(2)(d).
All three Permanent employees shall be placed on a re -employment list. (Rules, § 10, subd. B(5).) These employees will be served their 30-day notice in writing by personal delivery or Certified Mail. (Rules, § 10, subd. B(7), emphasis added.) SEIU
There are three SEIU members in the Community Development Department; their positions will be integrated into other departments, their tasks will remain consistent with
their job descriptions, and we are meeting and conferring with SEIU to discuss changes in conditions of employment (location and supervisor). At this point, we have not finished staffing level analysis for represented positions.
FISCAL IMPACT: The restructuring produces $936,868 in yearly savings.

HOLLISTER CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: April 6, 2026
REPORT # Parks & Recreation-2026-06
AGENDA ITEM: A RESOLUTION RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 2021-106 AND
ADOPTING THE REVISED POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR NAMING AND
RENAMING OF CITY ASSETS
DEPARTMENT: Parks & Recreation
DEPARTMENT HEAD: Charles Wall, Parks and Recreation Director
COUNCIL NEXT STEPS: Adopt a resolution rescinding Resolution 2021-106 and adopting a revised naming policy for City of Hollister Assets.
DISCUSSION: Staff wishes to provide a framework to guide naming City assets.
Furthermore, we will document, outline, and describe criteria for naming City assets.
The suggested Naming Protocols seek consistency and transparency and reflect a desire to avoid using names of individuals. This framework does not include developments and subdivision-related assets.
PURPOSE:
To establish a uniform policy regarding requests for the naming or renaming of City assets to emphasize the values and heritage of the City of Hollister. This framework will be used to evaluate public, private, staff, and Council requests for specific naming of assets.
SUGGESTED FRAMEWORK:
1. Naming Policy shall establish guidelines, criteria, and process for naming or renaming City assets and should be reviewed in 2030 and every five years thereafter.
2. Under extraordinary circumstances that would cast a negative image upon the City, any naming of city-owned assets may be revoked at the discretion of the City Manager or their designee for items valued under $220,000, and the City Council for items valued $220,000 or more.
3. The names of groups involved in controversial enterprises or activities, such as those that would be detrimental to the mission or image of the City of Hollister, shall be avoided.
4. It is the City of Hollister’s policy to keep the name of any asset, particularly one whose name has City or regional significance, unless there are compelling reasons to consider such a change.
5. All costs, including staff time, labor, and materials associated with the installation of any donation, including signs and/or replacement of signs resulting from this policy, will be borne by the individual, group, or organization sponsoring the request if applicable.
6. Developments and subdivision-related assets will follow established procedures set by the Planning Team.
NAMING CRITERIA
1. Names which reflect the City’s demographics are encouraged.
2. Naming shall begin early in the development and/or acquisition as possible.
3. Names should be appropriate to the asset by reflecting the native wildlife, history, flora, geographic area, culture, or natural geologic features related to the Community of Hollister.
4. Donated assets will be allowed to recognize private entities if the naming is consistent with this policy.
NAMING PROCEDURE
1. This procedure will apply to all activities related to naming of assets, regardless of the initiating party’s affiliation.
2. A request shall be submitted in writing on the standard application form.
3. The public will be informed of an applicant’s intent to name or rename an asset through social media, at recreation facilities, and public announcements.
a) Notice of Intent (NOI) to name or rename an asset shall be posted in public places such as social media, recreation facilities, and public announcements and published in the City’s paper of record during the review period of the City’s Commissions.
