SUBJECT: Resolution concerning Local Transportation Purposes Funds (Measure C) (JA) RECOMMENDATION: Council by motion adopt resolution approving submittal of Local Transportation Purposes Certification and Claim for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 (Measure C).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Each year, the Fresno County Transportation Authority (FCTA) provides the City of Kerman with information regarding Measure C funding allocations that will be made available to the City throughout the new fiscal year. The City is required to approve and claim these allocation amounts by way of resolution before such funds can be disbursed to the City.
DISCUSSION:
In November of 2006, the voters of Fresno County approved an extension of the one-half cent sales tax increase known as Measure C to fund regional and local transportation projects. The Fresno County Transportation Authority (FCTA) is the administering agency for these funds. The FCTA, on an annual basis, determines the allocation of Measure “C” funds to all cities and the County of Fresno based on population and road miles.
For Fiscal Year 2025/2026 the FCTA is projecting $38,362,528 in Measure C funds. The FCTA allocates these funds in the following categories:
Category Amount
Street Maintenance $16,963,777
ADA Compliance $593,732
Flexible Funding $16,950,102
Ped/Trails Urban $2,383,799
Ped/Trails Rural $587,213
Bicycle Facilities $883,905
Total $38,362,528
11 Section 5, Item C.
The allocations for the City of Kerman are:
Category Amount
Street Maintenance $283,838
ADA Compliance $9,934
Flexible Funding $347,972
Total $641,744
These allocations are based on Kerman’s 2025 population of 17,535 and 46.8 road miles. These revenues are a critical funding source to help the City maintain streets, sidewalks and infrastructure.
The City Council must adopt a resolution claiming Fiscal Year 2025/2026 Measure C funds and agreeing to spend the funds for local transportation related purposes, to separately account for the funds and to report prior fiscal years funding claims by August 15, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City of Kerman will receive a total of $641,744 in Measure C funds in Fiscal Year 2025/2026, according to the Fresno County Transportation Authority.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 13, 2025
PRESENTER: Steve Wilkins, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: California for All Animals UC Davis Shelter Services Grant (SW) RECOMMENDATION: Council by motion adopt resolution accepting grant funds and approving Shelter Services Agreement with Regents of the University of California relating to statewide animal assistance program.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Kerman continues to address the growing challenge of free-roaming and feral cat populations, which pose risks to public health, animal welfare, and the local ecosystem. In support of the State of California’s policy goal that no adoptable or treatable dog or cat should be euthanized, the City is committed to reducing the number of dogs and cats that are euthanized through progressive, humane strategies. Traditional methods such as euthanasia are being replaced with sustainable alternatives like Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) and Shelter-Neuter-Return (SNR) programs. These initiatives are currently being implemented with support from local volunteers and funding from previous grants. The UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program team of veterinary shelter medicine experts supports this work through a holistic approach to animal shelter assessments—evaluating community capacity, partnerships, local ordinances, and organizational culture, while identifying operational bottlenecks that, if resolved, can rapidly improve efficiency and lifesaving outcomes.
To further these efforts, Kerman Animal Control Services has been awarded a $40,000 grant from the California for All Animals program, administered by the UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program. These funds will support spay/neuter services, vaccinations, essential supplies, and equipment, while also expanding community-based solutions to reduce pet surrenders, prevent abandonment, and improve access to veterinary care for both owned and impounded animals. The funding will also help create a fee-waiver program for impounded animals when owners agree to spay or neuter their pets upon reclaim, further enhancing the care provided to animals in custody and contributing to the State’s goal of reducing euthanasia of adoptable or treatable pets.
As part of the grant conditions, Kerman Animal Control Services will provide historical data from 2020 to 2024, and annual data through 2026 to UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program in support of the California for All Animals program. The department is already collecting historical data for quarterly reports and will not require additional staffing to fulfill these reporting requirements. This grant reinforces the City’s commitment to innovative, humane, and effective animal services while advancing California’s broader policy goals in animal welfare.

RECOMMENDATION: Council by motion adopt resolution approving amendment to Joint Powers Agreement of the Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On July 1, 1994, the City of Kerman entered into a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) with the Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority (CSJVRMA).
CSJVRMA notified the City that they are in the process of updating its Governing Documents and the JPA is the first document that needs to be updated. The Executive Committee now requires approval by the member cities’ City Councils.
The agreement has updated the following:
Definitional terms have been defined more clearly.
Language has been broadened to give leeway in the event the CSJVRMA wants to consider creating or participating in a captive agency. An addition was made pursuant to Government Code Section 6509 that was not part of the law in 1994 when CSJVRMA last amended the Agreement. The change requires JPAs to designate a member whose restrictions would apply to the operations of the JPA.
CSJVRMA provided a redline version of the JPA to identify the changes.

TO: Mayors, Council Members, City Clerks, and City Managers RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 8-10, 2025 Long Beach Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.
Taking place on Oct. 10, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.
To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.
Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Wed., Sept. 24. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.
Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.
Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.
Council Action Advised by September 24, 2025
Attachment 'A'
51 Section 5, Item G.
For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.
Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.
Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.
Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Oct. 16, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 17, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 18, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.
The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.
Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.
Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Wednesday, Sept. 24. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

53 Section 5, Item G.
Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.
How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.
The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.
The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.
Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.
Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.
Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.
Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.
The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.
Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.
Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.
During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.
Cal Cities policy
development is a memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.
General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f). 54 Section 5, Item G.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 13, 2025
PRESENTER: Josefina Alvarez, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Reimbursement of Capital Expenditures from Proceeds of Tax-Exempt Obligations (JA)
RECOMMENDATION: Council by motion adopt resolution declaring intention to reimburse expenditures from proceeds of tax-exempt obligations.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Kerman (the City) is planning to finance public capital improvements, anticipated to consist of a new multi-generational community resiliency center and improvements to the City’s new police station. The financing will be undertaken via the issuance of long-term taxexempt bonds via a public offering.
For the bonds to be issued tax-exempt, the City needs to comply with certain Internal Revenue Code (Code) requirements. The Code allows a bond issuer to use the proceeds of its bond issuance to reimburse expenditures made prior to the time bonds are issued, but only so long as the issuer expresses an intent to do so prior to the actual issuance of the bonds.
A reimbursement resolution is the required expression of intent and is needed if the City wants to potentially reimburse itself for costs it actually pays prior to the issuance of bonds. More specifically, the City can use tax-exempt bond proceeds to reimburse itself for certain capital costs subject to certain limitations, the main one being: reimbursement (bond issuance) must occur not later than 18 months after the later of (i) the date on which the expenditure is paid, or (ii) the date on which the project is placed in service, but in no event more than 3 years after the expenditure was paid. It is acceptable for the City to adopt a reimbursement resolution notwithstanding the fact that eventually it is determined one was not needed.
To reimburse from proceeds of the proposed tax-exempt bonds, the City has been advised by its bond counsel that the Council should adopt a resolution indicating the City’s intent to so reimburse.
The resolution recommended for approval meets the requirement of the Code enabling the reimbursement for certain prior expenditures. The reimbursement will be only from proceeds of the bonds and is not a general obligation of the City. 73 Section 5, Item I.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adopting the resolution will allow the City flexibility to reimburse itself from the proceeds of future tax-exempt bonds. The amount of this reimbursement has not been quantified, but preserving this flexibility will only benefit the City. There is no cost to adopt the resolution.
Approval of the amount, timing and costs of any future bond financing will be presented to the Council at a future meeting.

SUBJECT: Amendment to Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the Kerman Public Financing Authority (JA)
RECOMMENDATION: Council by motion authorize execution and delivery of first amendment to joint exercise of powers agreement.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Kerman (the City) is planning to finance public capital improvements, anticipated to consist of a new multi-generational community resiliency center and improvements to the City’s new police station. The financing will be undertaken via the issuance of long-term taxexempt bonds via a public offering.
It is anticipated that the bonds will be issued by the Kerman Public Financing Authority (Financing Authority) pursuant to Article 4 of the Joint Exercise of Powers Act (Government Code Section 6500 et seq.), which Act authorizes two or more public agencies to create a joint exercise of powers entity which has the power to exercise any powers common to its members and to exercise additional powers granted under the Act.
Pursuant to the Act, the City and the Kerman Redevelopment Agency previously entered into a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, dated as of August 15, 2007 (2007 Agreement), to establish the Financing Authority. In accordance with State law, the Kerman Redevelopment Agency was succeeded by the Successor Agency to the former Kerman Redevelopment Agency, which has now been completely dissolved.
A number of California cities, counties and special districts have entered into a joint exercise of powers agreement pursuant to which the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) was organized and CSCDA may, among other things, enter into a joint exercise of powers agreement with one or more public agencies pursuant to which such contracting parties may jointly exercise any power common to them and to exercise additional powers granted under the Act.
The City desires to amend the 2007 Agreement to add CSCDA as a member, in place of the Kerman Redevelopment Agency, and CSCDA has agreed to do so. It is anticipated that the governing body of CSCDA will adopt the amendment to become a member of the Financing Authority on August 7, 2025.
77 Section 5, Item J.
FISCAL IMPACT:
CSCDA charges a one-time fee of $10,000 to serve as a member of a joint exercise of powers agency. This fee is anticipated to be financed as part of the long-term tax-exempt bonds described above.

PRESENTER: Jesus A. Gonzalez, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Resolution Confirming and Ordering Tract 6430 Annexation into Kerman Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1, Area 16, and Establishing a Levy of Assessments for the Annexed Territory (JG)
RECOMMENDATION: Council by motion adopt resolution confirming and ordering Tract 6430 annexation into Kerman Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1, Area 16, and establishing a Levy of Assessments for the annexed territory.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Kerman’s (the City) Landscaping and Lighting District (LLD) No. 1 maintains public landscaping in median islands and landscape strips along major streets. All new developments are annexed into the LLD and charged an annual assessment that is collected with property taxes. There are currently 15 sub-areas within the LLD.
The City Council initiated the process for annexation of Tract 6430 into LLD No. 1 on July 9, 2025. Approval of the proposed Resolution will conclude the process by annexing the lots of a new residential subdivision into LLD No. 1 being developed by WFK Holdings, LLC, a California limited liability company and The Boyd Trust dated December 23, 1999 (“Applicant”) and setting a levy at $187.14 for single-family lots 1 to 118 and $5,729.39 multi-family lot 119 .
The Applicant has undergone the final map review process for Tract 6430 which seeks to develop a 119-lot subdivision located at the southeast corner of the California and Modoc Avenues alignments intersection. Final map approval by the City Council will be considered as a separate Agenda item at today’s meeting. A condition of approval for Tract 6430 requires that Applicant request annexation to the City‘s LLD. Consistent with that requirement, the Applicant has submitted a petition and waiver to the City, requesting annexation into LLD No. 1 and agreeing to the initial assessment of $187.14 for single-family lots 1 to 118 and $5,729.39 for multi-family lot 119 for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2026 and ending June 30, 2027.
Thereafter, the property would be subject to the annual levy amounts approved by Council for LLD No. 1 for each fiscal year.
The Applicant has also (i) waived certain resolutions, report, notices of hearing, and right of majority protest, and consented to a public hearing and adoption of a Resolution by the City Council ordering annexation and levy of the Property; and (ii) expressly waived any requirement to have a ballot and majority protest proceeding per Government Code Section 53753 or as 83 Section 6, Item A.
may be permitted by the Act. As a result of this waiver, the annexation process can be expedited as no report by the City Engineer is required to be prepared, nor is a ballot and majority protest required.
The attached resolution finds that there is no majority protest by the Applicant, annexes the property into Area 16, of LLD No. 1, and sets the levy at $187.14 for single-family lots 1 to 118 and $5,729.39 for multi-family lot 119 for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2026 and ending June 30, 2027. Going forward, the annexed property will be subject to the annual levy approved by the City Council every year for all property within LLD No. 1, Area 16.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Each of the single-family lots 1 to 118 that is annexed will pay the assessment rate of $187.14 per lot and multi-family lot 119 will pay the assessment rate of $5,729.39.
Thereafter, the City Council will approve assessment amounts for Area 16 of the LLD No. 1, which may be adjusted to reflect increases based on the consumer price index.

MEETING DATE: August 13, 2025
PRESENTER: Josefina Alvarez, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Establishing Regular Meetings of the Kerman Public Financing Authority (JA) RECOMMENDATION: Board of directors of the Financing Authority by motion adopt resolution establishing regular meetings and approving related actions.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Kerman (the City) is planning to finance public capital improvements, anticipated to consist of a new multi-generational community resiliency center and improvements to the City’s new police station. The financing will be undertaken via the issuance of long-term taxexempt bonds via a public offering.
It is anticipated that the bonds will be issued by the Kerman Public Financing Authority (Financing Authority) pursuant to Article 4 of the Joint Exercise of Powers Act (Government Code Section 6500 et seq.), which Act authorizes two or more public agencies to create a joint exercise of powers entity which has the power to exercise any powers common to its members and to exercise additional powers granted under the Act.
Pursuant to Article 4 of the Act, approval of bonds by the Financing Authority must be done at a regular meeting of the Board of Directors. Accordingly, it is important to clarify the regular meeting schedule of the Financing Authority.
The Board of Directors will conduct regular meetings on the same date and at the same time as the meetings of the City Council of the City, in the same location as the City Council meetings are held, or such other date, time and/or location as notified to the public in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act (Government Code Section 54950 et seq.). No regular meetings need be held and such meetings shall be deemed automatically cancelled should the Chair of the Financing Authority determine that no business is required to be conducted by the Board at such meeting and therefore no items of the Financing Authority appear on an agenda otherwise notified to the public in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act.

PRESENTER: Jesus A. Gonzalez, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Resolution Approving Final Map, Subdivision Agreement, Right-to-Farm Covenant, Landscape and Lighting District Covenant, Temporary Storm Drainage Basin Covenant and Acccepting Dedication of Right-of-Way for Public Street and Utility Purposes for Tract No. 6430 (JG)
RECOMMENDATION: Council by motion adopt resolution pertaining to Tract No. 6430 as follows:
1. Approving Final Map and Subdivision Agreement
2. Approving Covenant Acknowledging Right To Farm Law
3. Approving Covenant Accepting Annexation into Landscape and Lighting District No. 1
4. Approving Covenant and Agreement for Temporary Storm Drainage Basin Use
5. Accepting Dedication of Right-of-Way for Public Street and Utility Purposes over a portion of APN 020-160-18S
6. Authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to sign the Subdivision Agreement and Covenants as appropriate.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
WFK Holdings, LLC (WFK), submitted Tentative Subdivision Map No. 2023-01 (TSM 2023-01), proposing to subdivide approximately 21.89 acres located at the southeast corner of the California and Modoc Avenues alignments intersection. TSM 2023-01 consists of one hundred and eighteen (118) single-family residential lots and one (1) lot for future development of fiftyfour multi-family residential units. TSM 2023-01 was approved by the Planning Commission on July 15, 2024, and City Council on September 25, 2024.
In the time since approval of TSM 2023-01, WFK has submitted Final Map No. 6430 (FM 6430) improvement plans, and required supplemental technical documents for the subdivision as well as undergone the Fresno Local Agency Formation Commission’s annexation process for expanding the City of Kerman’s (the City) limits to encompass the subdivision. The final map and plans have been reviewed and deemed technically correct by City Staff. Staff recommends Council approve the final map and accept its dedications for public use.
In order for the FM 6430 to be approved and subsequently recorded, WFK is required to enter into a subdivision agreement with the City. The subdivision agreement requires WFK to post improvement and warranty securities in favor of the City, as required by Government Code Section 66462, to ensure completion of the improvements. The basis for these securities is the 118
Section 7, Item C.
total estimated cost for all public improvements required to be completed by the developer to satisfy the conditions of approval for TSM 2023-01. In addition, the subdivision agreement specifies the development impact fees to be paid by WFK and the timing of collection by the City. Substantial completion (i.e. all utilities completed and tested, streets paved, street lighting installed, and any other improvements necessary to protect public health, safety, and welfare) of the improvements is required by December 31, 2026. No certificates of occupancy for homes within the subdivision will be granted until the improvements are deemed substantially complete by the City Engineer.
A policy of the City of Kerman is to preserve, protect and encourage development of its agricultural land and industries. Consistent with its policy, FM 6430 is subject to a condition of approval for recordation of a Right-to-Farm covenant. The covenant ensures FM 6430 is not developed, used, or maintained in such a way as to adversely affect adjoining properties.
Additionally, it serves as disclosure to future buyers of inconveniences and discomforts resulting from normal farming activities affecting properties adjoining FM 6430. Approval of the covenant will result in its recordation for running parallel with FM 6430.
FM 6430 is subject to conditions of approval for installation of streetlights, landscaping and irrigation (improvements) in the California Avenue landscape strip and street median islands right-of-way. The City’s Landscaping and Lighting District (LLD) No. 1 maintains said improvements and pays for electrical costs related to their operations. As such, the conditions of approval also require WFK to annex the subdivision into LLD No. 1. The LLD annexation underwent an initiation process, approved by Council on July 9, 2025, for establishing improvements maintenance costs to each lot within FM 6430. The next LLD annexation step is for Council, by way of a separate agenda item, to confirm the costs and order FM 6430 annexation into LLD No. 1. FM 6430 is subject to a condition of approval for recordation of a LLD covenant. The covenant ensures FM 6430 is annexed into LLD No. 1 per the LLD annexation process, and serves as disclosure to future buyers of said requirements. Approval of the covenant will result in its recordation for running parallel with FM 6430.
Currently, there is no master-planned storm drainage basin or pipeline (drainage facilities) to serve FM 6430. As such, the conditions of approval require WFK to construct a temporary storm drainage basin (temporary basin) for storage of its run-off. When future development constructs drainage facilities, FM 6430 storm drain pipelines will connect to said facilities.
When this occurs, the temporary basin will no longer be necessary. To ensure that the temporary basin is backfilled at that time, and maintained in the interim, WFK is required to enter into a basin covenant and agreement with the City. Lum Family Enterprises (Lum) is an additional party to the basin covenant and agreement as the owner of the APN 020-160-18S portion of land over which the temporary basin will be situated. Approval of the covenant will result in its recordation for running parallel with FM 6430.
The subdivision’s location at the southwest corner of the city limits requires it be solely served from the east by California Avenue until future development of Modoc Avenue. As such, the conditions of approval require WFK to construct California Avenue to city collector street standards. The improvements will exclude sidewalk, ADA ramps, landscape, irrigation, and block wall behind the California Avenue northside curb alignment. The required improvements 119
Section 7, Item C.
extend beyond the limits of FM 6430 and therefore necessitate additional right-of-way dedication. WFK has coordinated with Lum and obtained agreement on dedication of a 33.28 foot-wide portion of APN 020-160-18S, adjacent to and spanning the northern limits of FM 6430. Acceptance of the right-of-way dedication will allow for construction of necessary California Avenue improvements and future maintenance by the City upon taking ownership once final acceptance is issued to WFK.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Permit fees will be collected prior to issuance of grading permit. Development impact fees due for each residential unit constructed will be collected at the date of certificate of occupancy issuance for each unit. TSM 2023-01 was approved as a Tentative Subdivision Map, not a Vesting Map. For that reason FM 6430 development impact fees may be adjusted and will be paid at the rate in effect at the time of collection. All other fees will be paid prior to recordation of the Final Map.

If said fees are not paid in full at the time of the issuance of a building permit, OWNER shall enter into a covenant consistent with Government Code section 66007(c), and in a form acceptable to the CITY, to pay said fees. Such covenant shall be recorded against the property for which the building permit is being issued, and shall constitute a lien on the property for the unpaid fee. Owner shall be 138
Section 7, Item C.
7 responsible for the costs of the same, including reimbursing CITY for its actual costs of processing, and subsequently releasing, the covenant. If OWNER instead elects to pay said fees at the time of issuance of a building permit, then no covenant will be required.
OWNER agrees that the fee amounts set forth in Exhibit "B" are based upon the best information available upon the Effective Date of this Agreement, and that the final fee amounts may be greater or less than the amounts set forth in Exhibit "B" due to adjustments in construction costs, testing and inspection, or other unforeseen events. Final fee amounts, regarding each residential unit, will be determined by CITY prior to issuance of an occupancy permit for each residential unit.
2. Impact Fee Adjustments. CITY agrees to the fee adjustments set forth in Exhibit "B," Part II, provided that OWNER constructs and installs the Improvements described in Exhibit "B," Part II. In the event OWNER fails to construct any of the Improvements described in Exhibit "B," Part II, on or before the "Completion of all Improvements" date, as set forth in Article II, Section D, of this Agreement, or any agreed extension of such date, CITY, in its sole discretion, and in addition to any other remedy provided in this Agreement or by law, may enter the Subdivision and construct or complete construction of the Improvements. In such event, CITY shall determine whether OWNER shall pay the construction cost or fee prevailing at the time of construction, and CITY will pursue reimbursement from OWNER, or from securities held to secure the performance of this Agreement. In addition, OWNER hereby consents to the recordation of a lien or liens against the Subdivision in an amount to secure reimbursement to CITY for amounts expended to enforce this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the costs incurred to construct the Improvements designated in this Agreement.
3. Impact Fee Reimbursements. Where OWNER has constructed facilities, or paid CITY for the construction of facilities that are over-sized, or that are constructed as masterplanned facilities that are not primarily for the benefit of OWNER or the Subdivision, OWNER shall be eligible to receive reimbursement as indicated in Exhibit "B," Part II, from development impact fee funds, subject to availability of such funds. The source of the reimbursement shall be selected by CITY, but in no event shall CITY be responsible for reimbursement from any source or sources other than the source or sources identified in this paragraph.
D. INDEMNIFICATION
To the greatest extent permitted by law, OWNER shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend CITY and its officers, officials, agents, employees, consultants and volunteers from any and all claims, demands, costs, losses, damages, or liability whether in contract, tort, or strict liability, including but not limited to personal injury, death at any time, and property damage incurred by CITY, OWNER, or any other person, and from any and all claims, demands and actions in law or equity (including attorneys' fees, litigation, and legal expenses incurred by CITY or held to be the liability of CITY, including plaintiff's or petitioner's attorneys' fees if awarded in connection with CITY'S defense of its actions in any proceeding) arising or alleged to have arisen directly or indirectly from (a) the performance of, or in any way connected with, this Agreement; (b) the performance or installation of the work or Improvements by OWNER and its principals, officers, employees, agents, contractors and subcontractors; (c) the design, installation, operation, removal or maintenance of the work and Improvements; or (d) CITY'S approval of the design, 139

The above described policies of insurance shall be endorsed to provide an unrestricted 30 calendar day written notice in favor of CITY of policy cancellation of coverage, except for the Workers' Compensation policy which shall provide a 10 calendar day written notice of such cancellation of coverage. In the event any policies are due to expire during the term of this Agreement, OWNER shall provide a new certificate evidencing renewal of such policy(ies) not less than 15 calendar days prior to the expiration date of the expiring policy(ies). Upon issuance by the insurer, broker, or agent of a notice of cancellation in coverage, OWNER shall file with CITY a new certificate and all applicable endorsements for such policy(ies).
The General Liability and Automobile Liability insurance policies shall be written on an occurrence form and shall name CITY, its officers, officials, agents, employees and volunteers as an additional insured.

The duty to indemnify CITY, its officers, officials, agents, employees and volunteers, shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by OWNER or his/her/its subcontractors. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of OWNER, its principals, officers, agents, employees, persons under the supervision of OWNER, vendors, suppliers, invitees, subcontractors, consultants or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.
If at any time during the life of the Agreement or any extension, OWNER fails to maintain the required insurance in full force and effect, the CITY may order that OWNER, or its contractors or subcontractors, immediately discontinue any further work under this Agreement and take all necessary actions to secure the work site to insure that public health and safety is protected. All payments due or that become due to OWNER shall be withheld until notice is received by CITY 141
Section 7, Item C.
10 that the required insurance has been restored to full force and effect and that the premiums therefore have been paid for a period satisfactory to CITY. Any failure to maintain the required insurance shall be sufficient cause for CITY to terminate this Agreement.

Until Final Acceptance of Improvements, and acceptance of any lands, rights of way, and easements, OWNER shall be responsible to maintain the Improvements in a safe condition and good repair. OWNER agrees that the use of any or all Improvements specified in this Agreement shall be, at all times prior to Final Acceptance of Improvements, at the sole and exclusive risk of OWNER, and the issuance of any occupancy permit by CITY for any dwelling unit completed on a Subdivision lot shall not be construed in any manner to constitute Final Acceptance of Improvements.

CITY may, at its sole option, perform such repair or replacement if OWNER has failed to commence such repair within twenty (20) days after CITY has mailed to OWNER and OWNER'S surety written notice of the need for repairs or replacement. In such event, OWNER agrees to pay the cost of such repair and replacement by CITY, and CITY may recover such cost as a lien against the Subdivision. If CITY determines that public safety requires repairs or replacements to be made 150
Section 7, Item C.
19 before OWNER or surety can be notified, CITY may complete such repairs or replacements and recover the costs thereof as provided above.
J. DUST CONTROL
Adequate dust and mud control shall be maintained by OWNER on all streets within and without the Subdivision until the paving of the streets is completed. "Adequate dust control" as used herein shall mean the sprinkling of the streets with water with sufficient frequency to prevent the scattering of dust by wind or the activity of vehicles and equipment onto any street area or private property adjacent to the Subdivision. Whenever, in the opinion of the City Engineer, adequate dust control is not being maintained on any street or streets as required by this paragraph, the City Engineer shall forthwith give notice to OWNER to comply with the provision of this paragraph. Such notice may be personally served upon OWNER or, if OWNER is not an individual, upon any person who has signed this Agreement on behalf of OWNER or a superintendent or foreman of OWNER'S or OWNER'S contractor or subcontractor at the Subdivision, or, at the election of the City Engineer, such notice may be mailed to OWNER at OWNER'S address on file with the City Engineer. If, within twenty-four (24) hours after such personal service of such notice, or within forty-eight (48) hours after the mailing thereof as herein provided, OWNER shall not have commenced work to maintain adequate dust control or shall at any time thereafter fail to maintain adequate dust control, the City Engineer may, without further notice of any kind, cause any such street or streets to be sprinkled, as he may deem advisable, to eliminate the scattering of dust, by equipment and personnel of CITY or by contract as the City Engineer shall determine, and CITY may deduct the cost thereof from any deposits which OWNER has placed with CITY. When the surfacing on any existing street is disturbed, this surfacing shall be replaced with temporary or permanent surfacing within fourteen (14) calendar days, and the roadway shall be maintained in a safe and passable condition at all times between the commencement and final completion of work, and adequate dust control shall be maintained during these operations.
K. UNDERGROUNDING OF UTILITIES; STREET SURFACING
OWNER agrees that all existing overhead utilities within the boundaries of the Subdivision, and on adjacent streets to the centerlines thereof, shall be replaced or relocated in underground installations. All new utilities shall be underground and all work shall be completed before installation of street surfacing.
L. STREET SWEEPING
OWNER shall pay for sweeping of streets within the Subdivision following installation of street paving, and all boundary streets throughout the course of construction of Improvements, prior to Final Acceptance of Improvements. CITY may provide such street sweeping services at its sole discretion and convenience. OWNER shall keep streets and gutters free of any mud, debris or materials. If OWNER fails to maintain streets in such condition which allows sweeping, CITY may remove any debris and deduct the cost thereof from any deposits which OWNER has placed with CITY.
151
Section 7, Item C.
20 M. PRECONSTRUCTION MEETING
OWNER agrees to meet with CITY at a preconstruction meeting. OWNER'S contractors and subcontractors for public improvements shall be required to attend the preconstruction meeting. Failure to do so shall draw a penalty of $150.00 per contractor and sub-contractor, and stoppage of work until a preconstruction meeting is held.
N. BUILDING MATERIALS RECYCLING
OWNER agrees to participate in any building materials recycling program as directed by CITY. Participation shall also be required by all of OWNER'S contractors and sub-contractors for both public improvements and home construction, to fullest extent possible. (Signatures on Next Page)
