The cat rescue is closed to the public and has not taken in any new resident cats. The operator has also indicated that the rescue’s overall operations have continually scaled down since 2023 with the ultimate plan to close the rescue after the last residents have passed away from old age or natural causes. In effect, the rescue cats are treated as family pets and not as commercial commodities. Furthermore, the project is also consistent with the General Plan because the THSP was found to be consistent with the General Plan at its adoption.
Environmental Determination
The proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res.
Code §§21000 et seq.: “CEQA”) and the CEQA Guidelines (14 C.C.R. §§ 15000 et seq.) pursuant to Section 15301 (Class 1, Existing Facilities). Class 1 consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination. The proposed project is an existing cattery that is operating in a fully developed site and building. The project would not result in new construction, additional square-footage or an expansion of the existing use.
PA 2026-04 (Via De La Valle Cattery)
MSHCP Consistency
The project is consistent with the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). The project site is completely disturbed and is developed with an existing single-family residence and residential accessory structures. While the project site is located in Criteria Cell No. 4556, it is not within an Amphibian, Burrowing Owl, Mammal, Narrow Endemic Plant, Criteria, or Invertebrate Species additional survey areas. Furthermore, the project was not required to be processed through the Lake Elsinore Acquisition Process (LEAP) and Joint Project Review (JPR) processes as existing single-family residences and residential accessory structures are exempted from the Habitat Evaluation and Acquisition Negotiation Strategy (HANS) process under MSHCP Section 6.1.1.B. The project complies with all other applicable requirements of the MSHCP.
Public Notice
Notice of the public hearing has been published in the Press-Enterprise newspaper and mailed to property owners within 1,075 feet of the subject properties. As of the writing of this report, no written comments concerning these applications have been received by staff.

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2026-04
TO LEGALIZE AN EXISTING CATTERY LOCATED WITHIN A RESIDENTIAL ACCESSORY STRUCTURE AT 131 VIA DE LA VALLE (APN: 363-350-014) Whereas, Beth Kohler has filed an application with the City of Lake Elsinore, requesting approval of Planning Application No. 2026-04 for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP No. 2026-01) to legalize an existing cattery within a 967 sq. ft. detached accessory structure on a 2.5-acre site with an existing single-family residence in the Single-Family Residential Zone (R-SF) of the Tuscany Hills Specific Plan. The cattery houses and provides veterinary care for 38 resident cats and 13 visiting cats but would not exceed a maximum of 51 cats at any given time. The cattery does not provide private boarding services or adoption services and is only a non-profit cat rescue that is not open to the public. The project site is located at 131 Via De La Valle (APN: 3363-350- 014);
Whereas, Section 6.0 of the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) requires that all discretionary projects within a MSHCP Criteria Cell undergo the Lake Elsinore Acquisition Process (LEAP) and Joint Project Review (JPR) process to analyze the scope of the proposed development and establish a building envelope that is consistent with the MSHCP criteria;
Whereas, Section 6.0 of the MSHCP further requires that the City adopt consistency findings demonstrating that the proposed discretionary entitlement complies with the MSHCP Criteria Cell, and the MSHCP goals and objectives;
Whereas, Chapter 17.415.070.A of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC) provides that certain uses have operational characteristics that, depending on the location and design of the use, may have the potential to negatively impact adjoining properties, businesses or residents and therefore are permitted subject to the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit, which allows the City to comprehensively review and approve the use;
Whereas, pursuant to Chapter 17.415.070.B of the LEMC, the Planning Commission (Commission) has been delegated with the responsibility of reviewing and approving, conditionally approving, or denying Conditional Use Permits; and,
Whereas, on July 21, 2026, at a duly noticed Public Hearing, the Commission has considered evidence presented by the Community Development Department and other interested parties with respect to this item.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The Commission has considered the project and has found it acceptable.
Section 2: That in accordance with the MSHCP, the Commission makes the following findings for MSHCP consistency:
1. The project is not subject to the City’s LEAP and the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority’s (RCA) JPR processes despite being located within Criteria Cell PC Reso. No. 2026-____
No. 4556 because existing single-family residences and residential accessory structures are exempted under MSHCP Section 6.1.1.B.
2. The project site is fully developed with an existing residential use. No interior or exterior development is proposed for the existing accessory structure. As such, the Riparian/Riverine Areas and Vernal Pool Guidelines as set forth in Section 6.1.2 of the MSHCP are not applicable.
3. The project is consistent with the Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant Species Guidelines as set forth in MSHCP Section 6.1.3 and the Additional Survey Needs and Procedures as set forth in MSHCP Section 6.3.2 because the project is not located within any Narrow Endemic Plant Species Survey Areas or Critical Species Survey Areas.
4. The project is consistent with the Fuels Management Guidelines because the project site is fully developed and does not involve any interior or exterior modifications.
5. The project is exempt from MSHCP local development mitigation fees pursuant to LEMC Section 16.85.090.B because the project does not involve any interior or exterior modifications.
Section 3: The Commission has reviewed and analyzed the proposed project pursuant to the California Planning and Zoning Laws (Cal. Gov. Code §§ 59000 et seq.), the Lake Elsinore General Plan (GP), and the LEMC and finds and determines that the proposed project is consistent with the requirements of California Planning and Zoning Law and with the goals and policies of the GP and the LEMC.
Section 4: The Commission hereby finds and determines that the project is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Publ. Res. Code §§21000 et seq. “CEQA”) and CEQA Guidelines (14. Cal. Code Regs. §§15000 et seq.), specifically pursuant to Section 15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities) because the proposed project is an existing cattery that is operating in a fully developed site and building. No modifications are proposed to the interior or the exterior of the building.
Section 5: That in accordance with California Planning and Zoning Law and the LEMC Section 17.415.070 (Findings), the Commission makes the following findings regarding the project:
1. That the proposed use, on its own merits and within the context of its setting, is in accord with the objectives of the General Plan and the purpose of the planning district in which the site is located.
The project site is located in the Tuscany Hills Specific Plan and has a land use designation of Single-Family Residential (R-SF). The R-SF land use designation allows for residential projects comprised of quality single-family residences and certain ancillary uses subject to a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), including the keeping of animals on the same lot as a permitted dwelling for noncommercial purposes.
The project proposes to legalize an existing cattery located within a detached accessory structure and does not involve any interior or exterior improvements. The structure housing the cats is located to the rear of the existing residential property and is tucked between two (2) hills, as such the structure is not readily visible from adjacent residential PC Reso. No. 2026-____
properties or the public right-of-way so as to not diminish the quality of the existing residence or the existing neighborhood. Furthermore, the cattery is closed to the public and is not accepting any additional cats. The cats are cared for by the residents of the existing home and are in effect, treated as personal pets and not as commercial commodities; therefore, the proposed cattery is consistent with the intent and standards of the R-SF designation, as it aligns with the allowable land uses and development regulations established by the Tuscany Hills Specific Plan.
2. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the general health, safety, comfort or general welfare of persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed use or the City, or injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood or the City.
The proposed use is located within an existing building. Furthermore, the cattery is an existing use that has been in operation since 2020, and to date, the City has not received complaints from neighboring residences or the surrounding neighborhood. In addition, the cattery is not proposing any interior or exterior site improvements. During a site inspection conducted by both the Planning Division and the Building and Safety Division, on April 28th, 2026, staff did not note any obtrusive odors or noise that would impact the surrounding neighborhood including the immediately adjacent neighbors. During the inspection, staff did note that the cattery is well maintained, clean, and organized. The project has also been conditioned as such to avoid any possible negative impacts associated with the operation of the proposed use.
3. The site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, and for all the yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping, buffers and other features required by this title.
The project site is an existing single-family residence that is fully developed and surrounded by other developed single-family residences. The cattery structure was previously reviewed and approved by the Planning Division and the Building and Safety Division. As such, the project site was previously reviewed, analyzed, and determined to be consistent with all applicable development standards and requirements of the LEMC and Tuscany Hills Specific Plan.
4. The site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways with proper design both as to width and type of pavement to carry the type and quantity of traffic generated by the subject use.
The proposed use is located within an existing built environment, inclusive of streets. The existing streets are of adequate size to facilitate safe and convenient transportation to and from the site.
5. In approving the subject use at the specific location, there will be no adverse effect on abutting properties or the permitted and normal use thereof.
The project has been thoroughly reviewed and conditioned by all applicable City departments thereby eliminating the potential for any adverse effects. Furthermore, the cattery is located within a neighborhood with larger lots than traditional single-family neighborhoods. The larger lots encouraged larger setbacks and expanses of open space between residences. The cattery is also located within an existing residential structure PC Reso. No. 2026-____
that has been operating since 2020, and to date, the City has not received any animal related complaints from neighboring residences or the surrounding neighborhood.
6. Adequate conditions and safeguards pursuant to Section 17.415.070.B of the LEMC, including guarantees and evidence of compliance with conditions, have been incorporated into the approval of the subject project to ensure development of the property in accordance with the objectives of this chapter and the planning district in which the site is located.
Pursuant to Section 17.415.070.B of the LEMC, the project was considered by the Commission at a duly noticed Public Hearing on July 21, 2026, appropriate and applicable conditions of approval have been included to protect and promote the public health, safety, and general welfare.
Section 6: Based upon the evidence presented, the above findings, and the Conditions of Approval imposed upon the project, the Commission hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. 2026-01.
Section 7: This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
Passed and Adopted on this 21st day of July, 2026.

Dear Planning Department:
I am writing to formally describe and request consideration regarding an existing building on my property that is used to house rescued cats through my nonprofit organization, Purrfect Fit Cat Rescue, a registered 501(c)(3) charity.
In 2020, I constructed a 967 square foot building with an attached 345 square foot covered patio on my 2.5acre property, located in the area behind my garage. This structure is used solely as a safe and sanitary housing facility for cats under my care. The property is well maintained and the cat housing area is contained and separated by a least two acres from neighboring properties.
I have worked with the same veterinarian for over fifteen years, who provides ongoing care and oversight for the cats. Currently, there are 38 resident cats housed on the property. In addition, there are 13 visiting cats whose owners will be relocating this year and taking their cats with them. I do not plan to accept any additional cats in the future.
I am 84 years old, and my intent is to maintain the current number of cats only, with gradual reduction over time. This facility is not for commercial use, generated no income, and involves no public access or foot traffic. The are no adoptions or visits conducted on-site.
Animal Control has visited the property and has expressed approval of the care, cleanliness, and conditions in which the cats are housed. Their feedback has been positive and supportive of the work being done.
My goal has always been to provide a humane, quiet and responsible environment for rescued cats while being a respectful and compliant neighbor. I appreciate your time and consideration of this matter and am happy to provide any additional documentation or answer any questions you may have.
Thank you for your attention and understanding.
Sincerely,
Beth Kohler

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by: Yu Tagai, City Engineer
Date: August 11, 2026
Subject: Amendment No. 2 to Contractor Services Agreements for On-Call Geotechnical Services
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 2 to the Contractor Services Agreements with LOR Geotechnical Group, Inc. and ALTA California Geotechnical, Inc. for oncall geotechnical testing services to extend the terms for an additional 12 months in the amounts not to exceed $80,000 per fiscal year in such final form as approved by the City Attorney.
Background
The Land Development Division, as part of the construction activities related to CIP Pavement Rehabilitation Projects, requires specific expertise related to geotechnical and material testing.
Because the need for these services is dependent on the activity level of CIP projects, the City uses contract geotechnical engineering firms that have the flexibility to provide staff to accommodate the fluctuation in workload.
On-Call Geotechnical Services
Discussion
Distribution of total funds is based on prior year activity. Each firm will have a contract amount not-to-exceed per fiscal year as listed below.
• LOR Geotechnical Group, Inc. (LOR) - $80,000
• ALTA California Geotechnical, Inc. (ALTA) - $80,000
The length of each contract will be extended 12 months expiring June 30, 2027.
Fiscal Impact
Agreements will be funded through the City’s adopted CIP program.

LOR GEOTECHNICAL GROUP, INC. REFERENCE NO. 8577.P
UNDERSTANDING
LOR understands that the City of Lake
Elsinore is seeking an on-call geotechnical
testing consultant to support public works
projects involving sewer improvements,
grading, and roadway paving operations on
an as-needed basis. The RFQ makes clear
that the selected consultant must be
prepared to provide responsive
construction-phase support, including
trench excavation evaluation, backfill
material assessment, review of compaction
procedures, field density and moisture
testing, concrete and asphalt inspection,
laboratory testing, technical coordination,
attendance at pre-grade and construction
meetings, daily reporting, and final report
preparation.
We understand that these services are intended to help the City confirm that construction is proceeding in accordance with the approved plans, project specifications, and applicable standards. This includes verifying that trench bottoms expose competent material, recommending remediation where saturated or unsuitable soils are encountered, evaluating backfill placement and compaction procedures, and performing sufficient testing within trench backfill, pavement subgrade, aggregate base, asphalt concrete, slurry, and Portland cement concrete to document compliance. The RFQ also emphasizes the importance of monitoring active construction conditions, maintaining close coordination with the City’s inspector and contractor, and documenting any failing tests requiring rework or retesting.
LOR also understands that the City needs a consultant that can respond promptly and work efficiently under active field conditions. The RFQ recognizes that testing duration and cost are strongly influenced by contractor sequencing, field efficiency, and coordination among the contractor, City inspector, and the consultant’s engineers and technicians. In our view, this means the City is not simply seeking a testing firm, but a responsive project partner that can help keep work moving while still providing accurate testing, practical recommendations, and dependable documentation.
LOR is well aligned with those needs. Our on-call services program is built around the same service model the City is seeking: rapid response, support for overlapping assignments, self-performed field and laboratory services, qualified professional oversight, and clear communication with City staff and contractors.

Program (QAP). Our laboratory tested soils,
aggregate base, asphalt concrete, and readymix Portland cement concrete at the specified frequencies, ensuring compliance with state
and project standards.
The trail alignment was underlain by finegrained silt and clay soils, which initially made achieving compaction difficult. Drawing on
prior experience with similar conditions, LOR’s
geotechnical staff worked closely with the
contractor to ensure proper moisture
conditioning before compaction of the
subgrade layer. By helping the contractor
establish a repeatable process for handling the
soils, our team helped maximize daily production while minimizing delays and unnecessary costs.
LOR’s proactive field support and close coordination with the contractor ensured compliance with Caltrans and City requirements, while also resolving site-specific soil challenges. This allowed the project to progress efficiently, control costs, and achieve the quality necessary for long-term performance of the pedestrian trail and bridge.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 7A9159E3-CD4D-40C0-9440-5516A6C8D767
Contractor is not a designated employee within the meaning of the Political Reform Act because Contractor:
a. will conduct research and arrive at conclusions with respect to his/her rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel independent of the control and direction of the City or of any City official, other than normal agreement monitoring; and b. possesses no authority with respect to any City decision beyond rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel. (FPPC Reg. 18700(a) (2).)
12. Ability of Contractor. City has relied upon the training and ability of Contractor to perform the services hereunder as a material inducement to enter into this Agreement. Contractor shall therefore provide properly skilled personnel to perform all services under this Agreement. All work performed by Contractor under this Agreement shall be in accordance with applicable legal requirements and shall meet the standard of quality ordinarily to be expected of competent contractors in Contractor's field of expertise.
13. Compliance with Laws.
a. Contractor shall comply with all local, state and federal laws and regulations applicable to the services required hereunder, including any rule, regulation or bylaw governing the conduct or performance of Contractor and/or its employees, officers, or board members. b.

15. Indemnity. Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City and its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability, claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Contractor or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation of Contractor shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law arises from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Contractor or its employees, subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Contractor to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Contractor from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Contractor acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.

c. Method Of Sharing
If all of the other insurance permits contribution
by equal shares, we will follow this method also.
Under this approach each insurer contributes
equal amounts until it has paid its applicable
limit of insurance or none of the loss remains,
whichever comes first.
If any of the other insurance does not permit
contribution by equal shares, we will contribute
by limits. Under this methoo, each insurer's
share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit
of insurance to the total applicable limits of
insurance of all insurers.

agreement that the insurance afforded to an
insured under this Coverage Part must apply on
a primary basis, or a primary and noncontributory basis. this insurance is primary to other insurance that is available to such insured
which covers such insured as a named insured,
and we will not share with that other insurance,
provided that:
(1) The "bodily injury'' or "property damage" for
which coverage is sought occurs; and
(2) The "personal and advertising injury" for
which coverage is sought is caused by an
offense that is committed;
subsequent to the signing of that contract or
agreement by you.
5. Premium Audit
a. We will compute all premiums for this Coverage
Part in accordance with our rules and rates.
b. Premium shown in this Coverage Part as

the advance and audit premiums paid for the
policy period is greater than the earned
premium, we will return the excess to the first
Named Insured.
c. The first Named Insured must keep records of
the information we need for premium
computation, and send us copies at such times
as we may request.

UNDERSTANDING OF PROJECT
LOR has been in business for over 34 years and has provided services similar to those presented in the RFQ for dozens of municipalities located throughout southern California, on hundreds of different projects. Our team is familiar with the many considerations that are involved with different types of public improvements projects. All staff members that will be assigned to provide the proposed services have been employed with LOR for a minimum of 15 years. Our very low turn over rate allows us to leverage our experience in planning, design, and field operations in order to achieve the City’s project objectives.
We understand that although these types of projects might be similar to projects that we have served on in the past, each project has its own distinct requirements. Prior to the start of construction we begin to familiarize ourselves with the project by conducting a thorough review of the project documentation. If requested by the City, we can provide a proposal for each project that we are called to service during the on-call services agreement. Our proposals typically include a detailed scope of services that’s based on our review and understanding of the project documentation. Our proposals also include a cost estimate that typically reflects the services that we have anticipated over the project duration.
Prior to the start of construction our engineering staff is available to attend pre-construction meetings to discuss the geotechnical and materials testing aspects of the project. Our engineering staff often provides materials submittal review to help verify that the materials that have been proposed for use on the project meet the requirements specified by the project documentation. These pre-construction processes help ensure that project expectations are ultimately delivered.
Each member of our team understands the many considerations that are involved during construction of a public improvements project, including the budget considerations. Our project management team will work closely with our field technicians and your construction management team to ensure that our services are being provided as needed, and that the relevant laboratory testing is being assigned and completed. Every step of the way, we will work closely with the city of Lake Elsinore to ensure that the project quality goals are being met, within the allocated budget.
APPROACH TO SCOPE OF WORK
When our office is contacted to serve under the terms of an on-call services agreement, our dispatch personnel will assign a qualified representative to perform the requested 2 LOR GEOTECHNICAL GROUP, INC.
Docusign Envelope ID: 7DB06276-B5A4-417C-BBF2-6B8CEEA7C847 City of Lake Elsinore, Engineering Division Reference No. 7079.P December 15, 2022
services. If additional technical support is required, our geologists and technicians have a direct line of communication to our principal engineer to discuss the details related to our projects. Additionally, our project managers maintain direct lines of communication with our field staff and our clients to help ensure projects run smoothly.
Prior to the start of construction our project management team will have reviewed the construction drawings, technical provisions, and contract information to have a full understanding of the project, as well as our firm’s role as a consultant and provider of geotechnical engineering services. Our engineering staff is available prior to, and during construction, to attend construction meetings and to provide material submittal review if requested by the city of Lake Elsinore.
Prior to arriving onsite to the project, our technician’s will have a thorough understanding of their role in the proposed construction. This includes the compaction testing frequency, minimum relative compaction specifications, sampling frequency, and materials specifications.

c. Method Of Sharing
If all of the other insurance permits contribution
by equal shares, we will follow this method also.
Under this approach each insurer contributes
equal amounts until it has paid its applicable
limit of insurance or none of the loss remains,
whichever comes first.
If any of the other insurance does not permit
contribution by equal shares, we will contribute
by limits. Under this methoo, each insurer's
share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit
of insurance to the total applicable limits of
insurance of all insurers.
d. Primary And Non-Contributory Insurance If
Required By Written Contract
If you specifically agree in a written contract or
agreement that the insurance afforded to an
insured under this Coverage Part must apply on
a primary basis, or a primary and noncontributory basis. this insurance is primary to other insurance that is available to such insured
which covers such insured as a named insured,
and we will not share with that other insurance,
provided that:
(1) The "bodily injury'' or "property damage" for
which coverage is sought occurs; and
(2) The "personal and advertising injury" for
which coverage is sought is caused by an
offense that is committed;
subsequent to the signing of that contract or
agreement by you.
5. Premium Audit
a. We will compute all premiums for this Coverage
Part in accordance with our rules and rates.
b. Premium shown in this Coverage Part as
advance premium is a deposit premium only. At
the close of each audit perioo we will compute
the earned premium for that period and send
notice to the first Named Insured. The due date
for audit and retrospective premiums is the date
shown as the due date on the bill. If the sum of
the advance and audit premiums paid for the
policy period is greater than the earned
premium, we will return the excess to the first
Named Insured.
c. The first Named Insured must keep records of
the information we need for premium
computation, and send us copies at such times
as we may request.
6. Representations
By accepting this policy, you agree:
a. The statements in the Declarations are
accurate and complete;
b. Those statements are based upon
representations you made to us; and
c. We have issued this policy in reliance upon
your representations.
The unintentional omission of, or unintentional error
in, any information provided by you which we relied
upon in issuing this policy will not prejudice your
rights under this insurance. However, this provision
does not affect our right to collect additional
premium or to exercise our rights of cancellation or
nonrenewal in accordance with applicable insurance
laws or regulations.
7. Separation Of Insureds
Except with respect to the Limits of Insurance, and
any rights or duties specifically assigned in this
Coverage Part to the first Named Insured, this
insurance applies:
a. As if each Named Insured were the only
Named Insured; and
b. Separately to each insured against whom claim
is made or "suit" is brought.
8. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against Others
To Us
If the insured has rights to recover all or part of any payment we have made under this Coverage Part,
those rights are transferred to us. The insured must
do nothing after loss to impair them. At our request,
the insured will bring "suit" or transfer those rights
to us and help us enforce them.
9. When We Do Not Renew
If we decide not to renew this Coverage Part, we will
mail or deliver to the first Named Insured shown in
the Declarations written notice of the nonrenewal
not less than 30 days before the expiration date.
If notice is mailed, proof of mailing will be sufficient proof of notice.

In the event that Contractor or any employee, agent, or subcontractor of Contractor providing services under this Agreement claims or is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of the City, Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Contractor or its employees, agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of City.

Contractor is not a designated employee within the meaning of the Political Reform Act because Contractor:
a. will conduct research and arrive at conclusions with respect to his/her rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel independent of the control and direction of the City or of any City official, other than normal agreement monitoring; and b. possesses no authority with respect to any City decision beyond rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel. (FPPC Reg. 18700(a) (2).)
12. Ability of Contractor. City has relied upon the training and ability of Contractor to perform the services hereunder as a material inducement to enter into this Agreement. Contractor shall therefore provide properly skilled personnel to perform all services under this Agreement. All work performed by Contractor under this Agreement shall be in accordance with applicable legal requirements and shall meet the standard of quality ordinarily to be expected of competent contractors in Contractor's field of expertise.
13. Compliance with Laws.
a. Contractor shall comply with all local, state and federal laws and regulations applicable to the services required hereunder, including any rule, regulation or bylaw governing the conduct or performance of Contractor and/or its employees, officers, or board members. b. Contractor represents that it has obtained and will maintain at all times during the term of this Agreement all professional and/or business licenses, certifications and/or permits necessary for performing the services described in this Agreement, including a City business license.
14. Licenses. Contractor represents and warrants to City that it has the licenses, permits, qualifications, insurance and approvals of whatsoever nature, which are legally required of Contractor to practice its profession.

15. Indemnity. Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City and its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability, claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Contractor or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation of Contractor shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law arises from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Contractor or its employees, subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Contractor to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Contractor from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Contractor acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.
