REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by: Shannon Buckley, Assistant City Manager
Date: August 11, 2026
Subject: Amendment No. 1 to the Short Form Purchase of Service Contract with Principal Interest for Security Services at the New City Hall Construction Site (CIP Project No. Z20006)
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Short Form Purchase of Service Contract with Principal Interest for Security Services at the new City Hall construction site (CIP Project No. Z20006) for an additional amount not to exceed $50,544.00 in such final form as approved by the City Attorney.

Background
The City Hall construction project is a significant undertaking that requires security protocols to address potential vulnerabilities. Construction sites are often targets for theft, vandalism, and unauthorized access, which can lead to delays, financial losses, and safety hazards.

Implementing a security agreement will help to ensure that the project progresses smoothly and securely while upholding the City’s responsibility to its workers, assets, and citizens.

Discussion
This contract 1st Amendment will extend the security services through the complete transition from the old City Hall into the new facility at the current monthly amount of $16,848.00. All fees and hourly rates will remain consistent with the original contractor proposal dated 3/17/2026.

Fiscal Impact
Funding costs are included in the Fiscal Year 25/26 – 29/30 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) budget, CIP Project No. Z20006.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by: Shannon Buckley, Assistant City Manager
Date: August 11, 2026
Subject: Amendment No. 1 to the Law Enforcement Agreement with the County of Riverside Sheriff’s Department for Law Enforcement Services Recommendation
Approve and authorize the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Law Enforcement Agreement with the County of Riverside Sheriff's Department for Law Enforcement Service to amend the Level of Service in such final form as approved by the City Attorney.

Background
For many years, the County of Riverside Sheriff's Department has provided the City of Lake Elsinore with law enforcement services. The existing five-year contract is from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2030.

In October 2017, the City Council authorized an Amendment to the City's law enforcement agreement with the County of Riverside to expand our levels of services to include an additional Deputy Sheriff Community Patrol Officer to address a variety of issues related to improving safety and the overall quality of life in Lake Elsinore.

Lake Elsinore voters approved Measure Z in November 2020, effective April 1, 2021. Hiring additional law enforcement officers in the City is the direct result of Measure Z and our City's commitment to preserving the highest levels of public safety.

Discussion
As commercial growth and development continue to expand, so too has the demand for consistent enforcement of parking regulations, loading zone compliance, oversized vehicle restrictions, and commercial carrier safety standards. Currently, these responsibilities are distributed among patrol personnel and the existing traffic team, limiting proactive enforcement efforts and diverting sworn officers from higher-priority calls for service.

Amendment No. 1 Agreement for Law Enforcement Services

Page 2 of 2 ends

A dedicated Commercial Enforcement Officer that will provide focused oversight of commercial corridors, improve traffic flow and public safety, and enhance compliance with the City’s municipal codes.

By dedicating a trained deputy to commercial enforcement, the Department can increase efficiency, generate appropriate fine revenue through consistent enforcement, reduce citizen complaints related to commercial vehicle impacts, and allow sworn officers to remain focused on core public safety functions.

The estimated cost of the Commercial Enforcement Officer is $630,000 and is factored into the FY2026-27 budget.

The Commercial Enforcement Officer position has been added to the Level of Service attachment to the Law Enforcement Agreement (See Exhibit “A”). The amendment will replace the existing Level of Service attachment with the updated attachment.

Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact is approximately $630,000. This cost of this position is already accounted for in the existing $23.6 million law enforcement budget.

Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Public Works Construction Agreement with Precision Works, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $198,000.00 for the demolition of the building located at 164 S. Main St., in such final form as approved by the City Attorney, authorize the City Manager to execute change orders not to exceed the 10% contingency amount of $19,800.00, and authorize the City Clerk to record the Notice of Completion once work is completed.

Background
The Ambassador Hotel has long been identified as a blighted property within the City. Over the years, it has become a focal point for community complaints and safety concerns. The building poses significant hazards due to its deteriorated structural integrity.

In its current state, the building represents potential for many risks and specifically could lead to injury or other public safety issues. The City sought judicial authorization for demolition in order to response to these ongoing concerns and to mitigate risks to the public. On July 21, 2026, the City of Lake Elsinore received a court order authorizing the demolition of the Ambassador Hotel due to its severely deteriorated condition.

Discussion
In preparation for the City’s court order request, on June 22, 2026, the City posted on PlanetBids the notice inviting bids for the Demolition of the Ambassador Hotel project. On Wednesday, July 1, 2026, a site visit and job walk was conducted at the project site. All questions and responses to the notice inviting bids were posted on PlanetBids.

Ten bids were received before the deadline of 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 16, 2026. The bids were reviewed in PlanetBids, examined, and declared. The bid results were posted in PlanetBids shortly after staff’s review.

All of the provisions of the above-listed documents are made a part of this Agreement as though fully set forth herein.

2. Compensation.
a. For and in consideration of the payments and agreements to be made and performed by City, Contractor agrees to construct the Project, including furnishing all materials and performing all work required for the Project, and to fulfill all other obligations as set forth in the Bidder’s Proposal, such contract price being one hundred ninety eight thousand dollars and no cents ($198,000.00).
2 b. City hereby promises and agrees to employ, and does hereby employ, Contractor to provide the materials, do the work, and fulfill the obligations according to the terms and conditions herein contained and referred to, for the prices set forth, and hereby contracts to pay the same at the time, in the manner, and upon the conditions set forth in the Project Documents.
c. Contractor agrees to receive and accept the prices set forth in the Bidder’s Proposal as full compensation for furnishing all materials, performing all work, and fulfilling all obligations hereunder. Such compensation shall cover all expenses, losses, damages, and consequences arising out of the nature of work during its progress or prior to its acceptance including those for well and faithfully completing the work and the whole thereof in the manner and time specified in the Project Documents; and also including those arising from actions of the elements, unforeseen difficulties or obstructions encountered in the prosecution of the work, suspension or discontinuance of the work, and all other unknowns or risks of any description connected with the work.

3. Completion of Work.
a. Contractor shall perform and complete all work within 45 working days from the date of commencement specified in the Notice to Proceed, and shall provide, furnish and pay for all the labor, materials, necessary tools, expendable equipment, and all taxes, utility and transportation services required for construction of the Project. b. All work shall be performed and completed in a good workmanlike manner in strict accordance with the drawings, specifications and all provisions of this Agreement as hereinabove defined and in accordance with applicable laws, codes, regulations, ordinances and any other legal requirements governing the Project.
c. Contractor shall not be excused with respect to the failure to so comply by any act or omission of the City, the City Engineer, a City inspector, or a representative of any of them, unless such act or omission actually prevents the Contractor from fully complying with the requirements of the Project Documents, and unless the Contractor protests at the time of such alleged prevention that the act or omission is preventing the Contractor from fully complying with the Project Documents. Such protest shall not be effective unless reduced to writing and filed with the City within three (3) working days of the date of occurrence of the act or omission preventing the Contractor from fully complying with the Project Documents. d. City and Contractor recognize that time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement and further agree that if the work called for under the Agreement is not completed within the time hereinabove specified, damages will be sustained by the City and that, it is and will be impracticable or extremely difficult to ascertain and determine the actual amount of damages the City will sustain in the event of, and by reason of, such delay. It is, therefore, agreed that such damages shall be presumed to be in the amount of $1,000 per calendar day, and that the Contractor will pay to the City, or City may retain from amounts otherwise payable to Contractor, such amount for each calendar day by which the Contractor fails to complete the work, including corrective items of work, under this Agreement within the time hereinabove specified and as adjusted by any changes to the work. 3 4. Changes to Work. City and Contractor agree that the City may make changes to the work, or suspend the work, and no matter how many changes, such changes or suspensions are within the contemplation of the Contractor and City and will not be a basis for a compensable delay claim against the City nor be the basis for a liquidated damage claim against the Contractor.

Any change to the work shall be by way of a written instrument (“change order”) signed by the City and the Contractor, stating their agreement to the following:
a. The scope of the change in the work;
b. The amount of the adjustment to the contract price; and c. The extent of the adjustment to the Schedule of Performance.

The City Engineer is authorized to sign any change order provided that sufficient contingency funds are available in the City’s approved budget for the Project. All change in the work authorized by the change order shall be performed under the applicable conditions of the Project Documents. City and Contractor shall negotiate in good faith and as expeditiously as possible the appropriate adjustments for such changes.

5. Bonds. Contractor shall provide, before commencing work, a Faithful Performance Bond and a Labor and Material Bond, each for one-hundred percent (100%) of the contract price in the form that complies with the Project Documents and is satisfactory to the City Attorney.

6. Non-Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any rights, title, interest, duties or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of by Contractor without the prior written consent of City.

7. Licenses. Contractor represents and warrants to City that it holds the contractor’s license or licenses set forth in the Project Documents, is registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5, and holds such other licenses, permits, qualifications, insurance and approvals of whatsoever nature which are legally required of Contractor.

4 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.

Further, Contractor warrants that it has not paid nor has it agreed to pay any company or person, other than a bona fide employee working solely for Contractor, any fee, commission, percentage, brokerage fee, gift or other consideration contingent upon or resulting from the award or making of this Agreement. For breach or violation of this warranty, City shall have the right to rescind this Agreement without liability. For the term of this Agreement, no member, officer or employee of City, during the term of his or her service with City, shall have any direct interest in this Agreement, or obtain any present or anticipated material benefit arising therefrom.

21. Equal Opportunity Employment. Contractor represents that it is an equal opportunity employer and it shall not discriminate against any subcontractor, employee or applicant for employment because of race, religion, color, national origin, handicap, ancestry, sex or age. Such non-discrimination shall include, but not be limited to, all activities related to initial employment, upgrading, demotion, transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising, layoff or termination.

22. Prevailing Wages.
a. Contractor and all subcontractors shall adhere to the general prevailing rate of per diem wages as determined and as published by the State Director of the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1770, 1773, and 1773.2. Copies of these rates and the latest revisions thereto are on file in the office of the City Clerk of the City of Lake Elsinore and are available for review upon request. 8 b. Contractor's attention is directed to the provisions of Labor Code Sections 1774, 1775, 1776, 1777.5 and 1777.6. Contractor shall comply with the provisions of these Sections. The statutory provisions for penalties for failure to comply with the State's wage and the hours laws will be enforced.
c. Labor Code Sections 1774 and 1775 require the Contractor and all subcontractors to pay not less than the prevailing wage rates to all workmen employed in the execution of the contract and specify forfeitures and penalties for failure to do so. The minimum wages to be paid are those determined by the State Director of the Department of Industrial Relations. Labor Code Section 1776 requires the Contractor and all subcontractors to keep accurate payroll records, specifies the contents thereof, their inspection and duplication procedures and certain notices required of the Contractor pertaining to their location. The statutory penalties for failure to pay prevailing wages will be enforced. If the Project has been awarded to Contractor on or after April 1, 2015, Contractor and its subcontractors must furnish electronic certified payroll records to the Labor Commissioner. Beginning January 1, 2016, Contractor and its subcontractors must furnish electronic certified payroll records to the Labor Commissioner without regard to when the Project was awarded to Contractor. d. Labor Code Section 1777.5 requires Contractor or subcontractor employing tradesmen in any apprenticeable occupation to apply to the Joint Apprenticeship Committee nearest the site of the public works project, which administers the apprenticeship program in that trade for a certificate of approval. The certificate will also fix the ratio of apprentices to journeymen to be used in the performance of the Agreement. The Contractor is required to make contributions to funds established for the administration of apprenticeship programs if the Contractor employs registered apprentices or journeymen in any apprenticeable trade and if other contractors on the public works site are making such contributions.

Information relative to apprenticeship standards, contributions, wage schedules and other requirements may be obtained from the State Director of Industrial Relations or from the Division of Apprenticeship Standards. Labor Code Section 1777.6 provides that it shall be unlawful to refuse to accept otherwise qualified employees as registered apprentices solely on the grounds of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, or age. e. Eight hours labor constitutes a legal day's work, as set forth in Labor Code Section 1810.

23. Execution. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall constitute one and the same instrument and shall become binding upon the parties when at least one copy hereof shall have been signed by both parties hereto. In approving this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. [Signatures on next page]

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by: Shannon Buckley, Assistant City Manager
Date: August 11, 2026
Subject: Frontier Foodservice Purchase for the Design, Purchase, and Installation of Kitchen Appliances for the New City Hall Rooftop (CIP Project No. Z20006) Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Manager to purchase from Frontier Foodservice services and equipment for the Design, Purchase and Installation of the Kitchen Appliances for the New City Hall Roof Top in an amount not to exceed $147,375.96; authorize the City Manager to execute Change Orders not to exceed a 10% contingency amount of $14,737.00 for uncertainties and adjustments.

Background
On the fourth floor of the new City Hall, roof top, a complete catering kitchen has been designed to support community events and official functions. The design and purchase of the new appliances are essential to ensure the space is fully operational and meets the City’s eventhosting needs.

Frontier Foodservice Purchase

Page 2 of 3 ends

Discussion
The proposed design, purchase and installation agreement includes the commercial-grade kitchen appliances and related equipment necessary to make the fourth-floor rooftop catering kitchen functional, reliable, and suitable for City-sponsored events, community gatherings, receptions, and official functions. The equipment package is intended to support food preparation, cooking, holding, cleaning, and cold storage needs within the rooftop kitchen service area.

The appliance scope includes cooking equipment such as commercial ranges and related components designed to provide adequate cooking capacity for catered events and on-site food preparation. Also included are ventilation hoods and associated exhaust components necessary to support safe kitchen operations, help manage heat, smoke, steam, and odors, and ensure the cooking area functions appropriately for the intended use.

The proposed equipment also includes sinks and related fixtures to support food preparation, handwashing, utensil cleaning, and general kitchen sanitation. These fixtures are an important part of the overall kitchen layout and will help ensure the rooftop kitchen can be used efficiently while maintaining appropriate cleanliness and operational standards during events.

Cold storage equipment, including refrigerators and freezers, is also included in the project scope.

These appliances will provide the necessary temperature-controlled storage for food, beverages, and event supplies before and during functions. The inclusion of both refrigeration and freezer capacity will allow the City to better accommodate a variety of event types and service needs.

In addition, the equipment package includes warming and holding equipment, such as food warmers and related appliances, to assist with maintaining prepared food at proper serving temperatures. This equipment is particularly important for catered functions where food may need to be staged, held, and served over an extended period.

By procuring the equipment and installation services through a single qualified food service contractor, the City will benefit from coordinated kitchen design, procurement, delivery, installation, and final setup of the equipment. This approach reduces the risk of conflicts between equipment specifications, utility connections, ventilation requirements, and installation sequencing, and helps ensure that the rooftop kitchen is completed in a manner that supports long-term use and efficient event operations.

Wavier of Competitive Bidding Procedures
Pursuant to Section 3.08.070(G) of the Municipal Code, the City Council has the discretion to waive the competitive bidding requirement that would otherwise be utilized for this purchase.

Given the availability of products and custom design services, Frontier Foodservice is in the City’s best interest to exercise the exception to the standard bidding process as permitted by Section

3.08.070(G) of the Municipal Code. This approach ensures that a single contractor is responsible for the design, procurement, and installation phases of the kitchen. And the contractor has Frontier Foodservice Purchase

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by: Barbara Leibold, City Attorney
Date: August 11, 2026
Subject: Purchase of Real Property Located at the Northeast Corner of Main Street and Prospect Street for Downtown Parking (APN 373-151-014) Recommendation
Approve the purchase of a vacant parcel of real property located at the northeast corner of Main Street and Prospect Street for downtown parking purposes for a purchase price of $135,000, plus closing costs, and authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement For Purchase and Sale and Joint Escrow Instructions and such other ancillary documents as may be necessary to complete the purchase, in such final form as approved by the City Attorney.

Background
The property consists of approximately 0.16 acre and offers a strategic opportunity for the City to provide essential parking to serve the new City Hall and historic downtown. The City extended a written offer to acquire this property in August 2025. On February 10, 2026, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2026-13, a Resolution of Necessity authorizing the commencement of eminent domain proceedings to acquire the property.

Discussion
Following the adoption of Resolution No. 2026-13, the City and the property owner continued good faith negotiations and have agreed to a purchase price of $135,000, plus closing costs.

Acquisition of the property will terminate eminent domain proceedings and avoid the cost and delay of litigation.

Fiscal Impact
The purchase price of $135,000, plus closing costs, will be paid from available CIP funds.

VACANT LAND, LAKE
ELSINORE, CA APN 373-151-014
This AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE AND JOINT ESCROW
INSTRUCTIONS ("Agreement") is made and entered into by and between City of Lake Elsinore ("Buyer"), and Leticia Cervantes ("Seller"), with reference and respect to the "Recitals" set forth in paragraphs A through E below. Buyer and Seller are sometimes individually referred to herein as "Party" and collectively as "Parties". The Parties hereto have executed this Agreement on the dates set forth below next to their respective signatures.

This Agreement is effective when it is fully executed by the Parties ("Effective Date"). Buyer may, but need not, confirm the Effective Date to Seller as the later of the date indicated on the signature page below that (i) this Agreement has been approved as to form, executed and dated by Buyer and (ii) Seller has executed and dated this Agreement. Seller hereby agrees that if Seller has not dated this Agreement at the time Seller delivers the same to Buyer or Escrow Agent, then Buyer or Escrow Agent may date the same as of the date of delivery, and/or receipt.

RECITALS
A. Seller is the owner in fee simple of vacant land located at the northeast corner of Main Street and Prospect Street within the City of Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, California, designated as Assessor Parcel Number(s) APN 373-151-014 and more particularly described in EXHIBIT 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference ("Property").

B. Buyer desires to acquire the Property for the City of Lake Elsinore City Center Parking Project ("Project"). This Agreement is executed with the understanding that Buyer possesses the power of eminent domain. The real property interests Buyer seeks to acquire from the Property are a full fee acquisition of the Property for the Project (“Full Fee Acquisition”), as described more particularly in the Grant Deed attached as EXHIBIT 2 (“Grante Deed”).

C. Buyer extended to Seller a written offer dated August 6, 2025 pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2 to purchase the Property in fee for the Project.

D. The Parties negotiated Buyer's purchase of the Full fee Acquisition and have reached an agreement regarding the terms of buyer’s purchase of the Property. 2 E. Seller is willing to sell to Buyer the Property, subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement. Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that Buyer is acquiring the Property for public use in connection with the Project, and that the Property is necessary for the construction, operation, and/or maintenance of the Project. The Parties further agree and acknowledge that if the Parties had not reached an agreement for Buyer's purchase of the Property, Buyer’s staff would have recommended that Buyer's governing body consider the adoption of a resolution of necessity authorizing the initiation of an eminent domain proceeding to acquire the Property in accordance with the Eminent Domain Law. Buyer's governing body has the sole and exclusive discretion to make the findings required by Code of Civil Procedure section 1240.030 for the adoption of a resolution of necessity pursuant to the Eminent Domain Law. (Code of Civil Procedure section 1245.220). This Agreement is not a commitment or an announcement of intent to acquire any other real property interests that Buyer may seek to acquire for the Project. Seller is solely responsible for consulting its tax advisors or seeking a letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the applicability of 26 U.S.C. Section 1033 to Seller's sale of the Property to Buyer in connection with the Project. Buyer makes no express or implied representation regarding the applicability of 26 U.S.C. Section 1033 to this transaction.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing facts and circumstances, the covenants, agreements, representations and/or warranties contained herein, as well as other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by each of the Parties, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

TERMS/AGREEMENT

1. PURCHASE AND SALE.

1.1 Property. Seller agrees to sell to Buyer the Property, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

1.2 Purchase Price. The total purchase price for the Property is ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS AND NO CENTS ($135,000.00) ("Purchase Price"). It is understood and agreed between the Parties that payment of the Purchase Price includes, without limitation, payment for all improvements, if any, in or on the Property, which improvements the Parties acknowledge and agree are considered to be part of the realty or real property and are being acquired by Buyer in this transaction and, therefore, may be removed and disposed of, without the obligation to replace or pay any consideration in addition to that set forth in this Section 1.2.

1.3 Payment of Purchase Price. At the Closing (defined in Section 2.3 below), Buyer shall pay to Seller through Escrow (defined in Section 2 below) the Purchase Price, payable in cash, by cashier's or certified check, or by wire transfer.

2. ESCROW.
3 2.1 Opening of Escrow. Within ten (10) business days following the Effective Date, Seller and Buyer shall open an escrow ("Escrow") for the conveyance of the Property with Commonwealth ("Escrow Holder"). For purposes of this Agreement, the Escrow shall be deemed open on the first date after the Effective Date that Escrow Holder shall have received a fully-executed copy of this Agreement from Buyer ("Opening of Escrow"). Escrow Holder shall notify Buyer and Seller, in writing, of the date Escrow is opened ("Opening Date").

2.2 Escrow Instructions. This Agreement constitutes the joint basic escrow instructions of Buyer and Seller for conveyance of the Property. Buyer and Seller shall execute, deliver and be bound by any reasonable and customary supplemental or additional escrow instructions ("Additional Instructions") of Escrow Holder or other instruments as may be reasonably required by Escrow Holder in order to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. However, any such Additional Instructions shall not conflict with, amend or supersede any portions of this Agreement unless expressly consented or agreed to in writing by both Seller and Buyer. In the event of any conflict or any inconsistency between this Agreement and such Additional Instructions, this Agreement shall govern unless otherwise specifically agreed to in writing by the Parties.

2.3 Close of Escrow. For purposes of this Agreement, "Closing" means the closing or close of Escrow by the recordation in the Official Records of Riverside County, California, of (i) a Grant Deed in the form attached as EXHIBIT 2 hereto, including, without limitation, EXHIBIT B1 and EXHIBIT B2 thereto, which describe and depict the Property, as well as the disbursement of funds and distribution of any other documents by Escrow Holder, all as described in this Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent below, Closing is to occur sixty (60) days following the Opening Date ("Closing Date"); provided, however, that Closing and, therefore, the Closing Date shall be extended as provided in Section 8.6 below; and provided, further, that Closing may occur upon such earlier or later date as the Seller and Buyer mutually agree to in writing or as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Buyer and Seller may mutually agree to change the Closing Date by joint written notice to Escrow Holder. The Closing shall be conditioned upon satisfaction, or written waiver by the Party for whose benefit the condition exists, of all conditions precedent thereto. In the event the Escrow is not in a condition for the Closing to occur by the Closing Date for any reason other than the uncured breach of either Buyer or Seller, then any Party who is not then in default of the terms of this Agreement may terminate this Agreement as provided in Article

6. If no (and until a) notice of termination as provided in Article 6 is received by Escrow Holder, Escrow Holder is instructed to proceed with Closing as soon as possible.

2.4 Costs of Escrow.

4. SUITABILITY AND CONDITION OF PROPERTY.

4.1 Determination of Suitability and Approval of Environmental and Other Conditions. It is a condition precedent to the Closing for Buyer's benefit that Buyer has determined that the Property is suitable for Buyer's intended use, as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion. Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall determine whether the Property is suitable and shall provide to Seller and Escrow Holder its written notice of such determination; provided, however, that any failure of Buyer to provide notice shall be deemed approval; and, in connection with any disapproval, Buyer may, but need not, include its election to extend the Closing Date as provided in Section 8.6 below. In the event Buyer determines that the Property is suitable, such determination by Buyer shall not alter or diminish Seller's covenants, agreements, representations and/or warranties made herein or under law, unless a representation or warranty is expressly and specifically waived in writing in whole or in part by Buyer. In the event Buyer determines that the Property is not suitable, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 6.1 below.

4.2 Inspections, Testing and Right of Entry. Prior to Closing, Buyer may conduct Phases I and II environmental testing and inspection(s) as Buyer deems necessary or appropriate to determine the existence, nature and extent of any hazardous substances or environmental conditions on or under the Property. Buyer may conduct such inspections and testing of the Property, including, without limitation, any improvements thereon, as Buyer 8 may desire or deem appropriate, in Buyer's sole discretion, to determine the suitability of the Property for Buyer's intended use. In conducting such inspections and testing, Buyer shall endeavor to minimize damage to the Property, as well as any improvements thereon, and shall, in the event the Closing fails to occur as the result of a condition outside of Buyer's control, return the Property, including any improvements thereon, to their condition prior to the inspections and testing, except that Buyer shall have no responsibility or liability for returning the Property to their prior condition to the extent that any change or modification resulted from (i) reasonable wear and tear, (ii) force majeure or (iii) any other cause not within the reasonable control of Buyer, including, without limitation, the acts or omissions of any person or entity other than Buyer and/or its Representatives. Seller hereby grants to Buyer and its Representatives permission and a license to enter upon the Property at all reasonable times prior to the Closing Date for the purpose of conducting such inspections and testing. In the event the Property is occupied by any person(s) other than Seller, Seller shall make arrangements with such person(s) to ensure access by Buyer, including, without limitation, Buyer's Representatives, in order to conduct the inspections and testing pursuant to this Section 4.2.

5. SELLER'S ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE.

5.1 Full Satisfaction. Seller acknowledges that, absent the applicable waivers and releases such as those in this Agreement and in accordance with applicable provisions of California law, Seller may be entitled to the payment of relocation expenses, payments for loss of goodwill, inverse condemnation, unlawful pre-condemnation conduct, severance damages, temporary losses, permanent damages and other benefits and reimbursements other than and/or in addition to those expressly provided for in this Agreement (collectively, "Benefits") in connection with Buyer's acquisition of the Property as well as the other matters covered herein. Seller acknowledges and agrees that payment and receipt of the Purchase Price includes, without limitation, full payment of, for and with respect to the Benefits, including, without limitation, just compensation, lease bonus value, business goodwill, lost profits, furniture, fixtures and equipment, relocation expenses, precondemnation damages, severance damages, damages from claims of inverse condemnation, attorney fees, appraisal and other expert fees and costs, loss of rents, lost profits, interest, and any and all other damages that can or could be brought against the Buyer in connection with the Project or Buyer's acquisition of the Property. The Parties expressly agree that the Purchase Price is for a complete settlement of all claims (known and unknown), causes of action and demands of Seller against Buyer because of Buyer's purchase of the Property and for any and all claims (known and unknown) arising from or relating to the purchase and sale which is the subject of this Agreement. Consistent with the foregoing as well as Section 9.2 below, Seller, on behalf of itself and its heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, acknowledges that Buyer's performance under this Agreement constitutes full and complete satisfaction of Buyer's obligations to provide the Benefits to Seller and to compensate Seller not only for the purchase of the Property in connection with the Project, but also for construction and/or operation of the Project. 9 5.2 Waivers and Releases. Seller hereby waives, to the maximum legal extent, any and all claims, demands, remedies and causes of action for damages, liabilities, losses, injuries, costs and/or expenses, including attorney fees, arising out of, resulting from or related to Buyer's acquisition of the Property in connection with the Project, whether known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, including, without limitation, construction and/or operation of the Project. The Parties hereto agree that this Agreement is a settlement of claims in order to avoid litigation and shall not, in any manner, be construed as an admission of the fair market value of the Property, or of any liability by any Party. Seller on behalf of Seller as well as Seller's heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, hereby fully releases Buyer, its successors, assigns and Representatives, and all other persons and entities, known and unknown, from any and all claims and causes of action by reason of any damage which has been sustained, or may be sustained, as a result of (i) Buyer's purchase of the Property or any preliminary steps thereto or (ii) the construction and/or operation of the Project, including, without limitation, its construction, reconstruction, development, redevelopment, operation, maintenance, repair, existence and use.

5.3 California Civil Code Section 1542. Seller hereby acknowledges that it has consulted or had an opportunity to consult with legal counsel regarding, and represents and warrants that it is familiar with, California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as follows:
“A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party."
Seller acknowledges that, with respect to the sale of the Property to Buyer or the construction and/or operation of the Project, Seller may have sustained damages, losses, costs and/or expenses which are presently unknown and unsuspected, and such damages, losses, costs and/or expenses which may have been sustained may give rise to additional damages, losses, costs and/or expenses in the future. Nevertheless, Seller hereby represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement has been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that situation, and hereby waives, to the maximum legal extent, any rights accruing to it under said Section 1542 or any other statute or judicial decision of similar effect. _____ / _____
Seller's Initials
The foregoing acknowledgment and release shall survive the Closing as well as the recording of the Grant Deed.

Neither Buyer nor any other person or entity shall have any obligation, liability or duty to compensate any purchaser, successor, assignee or other transferee for the interests, rights and remedies granted to or obtained by Buyer under or pursuant to this Agreement or justifying the Full Fee Acquisition.

5.5 Waiver of Any Rights Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.245. Seller has reviewed Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.245. Seller expressly waives any rights that it may have pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.245 to re-purchase the Property from Buyer if Buyer has not used the Property in connection with the Project within ten (10) years of the sale of the Property to Buyer. _____ / _____

6.1 Exercise of Rights to Terminate. In the event Buyer elects to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement and the Escrow as provided in Section 2.3, 6.3 or 8.5, then Buyer may so terminate by giving notice, in writing, of such termination to Seller and Escrow Holder. In the event Seller elects to exercise its rights to terminate this Agreement and the Escrow as provided in Section 2.3 or 6.2, then Seller may so terminate by giving notice, in writing, of such termination to Buyer and Escrow Holder. In either such event, the Party so terminating shall, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 6.2 or 6.3 below, pay all Escrow Holder and Title Company termination fees and charges (collectively, "Termination Costs").

6.2 Buyer's Breach. In the event Buyer breaches any obligation under this Agreement which Buyer is to perform prior to the Closing, and fails to cure such breach within five (5) business days of receipt of written notice of such breach from Seller, then Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may terminate this Agreement and the Escrow by giving notice, in writing, of such termination to Buyer and Escrow Holder. In such event, Buyer shall pay all Termination Costs. Upon such termination, all obligations and liabilities of the Parties under this Agreement, excepting for Buyer's obligation to pay Termination Costs as provided in this Agreement and any other obligations which expressly survive termination, shall cease and terminate.

6.3 Seller's Breach. In the event Seller breaches any obligation under this Agreement which Seller is to perform prior to the Closing, and fails to cure such breach within five (5) business days of receipt of written notice of such breach from Buyer, then, (a) in addition to pursuing any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have at law or in equity, 11 including, without limitation, any and all damages resulting from such breach, (b) Buyer may, at Buyer's option, (i) terminate this Agreement and the Escrow by giving notice, in writing, of such termination to Seller and Escrow Holder, or (ii) initiate and prosecute an action for specific performance of this Agreement. Should Buyer elect to terminate this Agreement and the Escrow as provided herein, then Seller shall pay all Termination Costs and, upon such termination, all obligations and liabilities of the Parties under this Agreement, excepting (1) Seller's obligations and liabilities resulting or accruing as a result of or pursuant clause (a) above in this Section 6.3, (2) Seller's obligation to pay Termination Costs as provided in this Agreement and (3) any other obligations that expressly survive termination, shall cease and terminate.

6.4 Return of Funds and Documents; Release of Liability as to Escrow Holder. In the event Escrow Holder terminates this Escrow as a result of having received notice, in writing, from Buyer or Seller of its election to terminate the Escrow as provided herein, then Escrow Holder shall terminate the Escrow and return all funds, less Termination Costs, as appropriate, and documents to the Party depositing the same. Further, the Parties hereby release Escrow Holder, and shall hold Escrow Holder free and harmless, from all liabilities associated with such termination excepting for Escrow Holder's obligations to return funds and documents as provided herein.

7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

7.1 Seller's Representations and Warranties. Seller hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees to and for the benefit of Buyer that the following statements are true and correct as of the Effective Date, and shall be true and correct as of Closing, and Seller acknowledges and agrees that the truth and accuracy of such statements shall constitute a condition precedent to all of Buyer's obligations under this Agreement:

7.1.1 Authority. Seller owns the Property in fee simple and has full power and authority to sell, transfer and/or otherwise convey to Buyer the Property to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. This Agreement and all other documents delivered by Seller to Buyer under or pursuant to this Agreement, at or prior to the Closing, have been, or will be, duly executed and delivered by Seller and are, or will be, legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller, sufficient to convey the Property to Buyer and are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

7.1.2 No Unrecorded Possessory Interests; No Agreements or Undertakings. Other than as is disclosed or covered by Subsections 7.1.4 and 7.1.5 below, there are no agreements for occupancy in effect for the Property and no unrecorded possessory interests or unrecorded agreements that would adversely affect Buyer's use of the Property.

Seller will not enter into any agreements or undertake any obligations prior to Closing that will in any way burden, encumber or otherwise affect the Property without the prior written consent of Buyer, including, without limitation, any agreements for occupancy or use of the Property.
12 7.1.3 No Liens or Encumbrances. Other than as is disclosed or covered by Subsections 7.1.4 and 7.1.5 below, the Property is free and clear of and from liens or encumbrances that could interfere with the intended use by Buyer; and, therefore, Buyer shall quietly enjoy its rights in and to the Property without disturbance or inference by Seller or anyone claiming by, through or under Seller.

7.1.4 No Leases and/or Disclaimers of Interest and Consents. Seller warrants that the Property is not subject to a written or oral lease or any other contract or agreement pursuant to which a tenant or any other person has any rights of possession or use that conflict with this Agreement.

7.1.5 Mortgage or Deed of Trust. If the Property is encumbered by a mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust and/or other security instrument(s), Seller shall be responsible and liable for payment of any demand under any authority of such security instrument(s) out of Seller's proceeds or otherwise. Such amounts may include, but are not be limited to, payments of unpaid principal and interest. If the Property is encumbered by a mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust or other security instrument(s), Seller understands that Buyer shall seek and may require the partial release by the holder(s) of the security instrument(s) to the Property, including the subordination of the encumbrance(s) to the Property to preserve the permanence and/or survival of the Full Fee Acquisition. Seller agrees and consents to the subordination of the security instrument(s) and will cooperate with Buyer in seeking the subordination(s); and Seller acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer's payment of the consideration set forth herein is subject to Buyer receiving or waiving in writing the requirement of receiving said subordination(s).

7.1.6 Hazardous Materials. Seller is aware of and shall comply with its obligation under California Health and Safety Code Section 25359.7 to disclose information to Buyer regarding the environmental status of the Property. To Seller's knowledge, the Property is not in violation of any federal, state or local statute, regulation or ordinance relating to industrial hygiene or to environmental conditions on, under or about the Property including, without limitation, soil and groundwater conditions underlying the Property that could affect the Property or its use. Neither Seller, nor, to Seller's knowledge, any other person or predecessor in interest, has used, generated, manufactured, stored or disposed of on, under or about the Property, or transported to or from the Property, any "Hazardous Materials" as defined in any state, federal or local statute, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to the Property, including, without limitation, any flammable materials, explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous or contaminated materials or substances, toxic or noxious materials, substances or related materials or substances, as well as any substance whose nature and/or quantity of existence, use, manufacture, disposal or effect render it subject to Federal, state or local regulation, investigation, remediation or removal as potentially injurious to public health or welfare.

7.1.7 Litigation. There are no claims, actions, suits or proceedings continuing, pending or, to Seller's knowledge, threatened (i) against or affecting Seller or the Property, or (ii) involving the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or of any other documents or instruments to be delivered by Seller at Closing, in either case, whether at law 13 or in equity, or before or by any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, board, commission, bureau, Buyer or instrumentality. Seller is not subject to, or in default under, any notice, order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court or any governmental department, board, commission, bureau, Buyer or instrumentality.

7.1.8 No Breach. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transaction(s) contemplated by this Agreement will not violate or result in any breach of or constitute a default under or conflict with, or cause any acceleration of any obligation with respect to any provision or restriction of any lien, lease, agreement, contract, instrument, or, to Seller's knowledge, any order, judgment, award, decree, statute, regulation or ordinance, or any other restriction of any kind or character to which Seller is a party or by which Seller or the Property are bound.

7.1.9 No Condemnation or Other Proceedings. Exclusive of any action proposed or contemplated by Buyer, Seller is not aware of any contemplated condemnation of the Property, or any portion thereof by any public agency, authority or entity.

Buyer has negotiated in good faith to acquire the Property and to pay just compensation for its acquisition. Seller understands that, if the transaction(s), including, without limitation, the acquisition(s), set forth in and/or contemplated by this Agreement had not been (or are not) successful, then staff for Buyer may have recommended (or may recommend) initiation of eminent domain proceedings to acquire the Property and/or interests therein and/or portions thereof.

7.2 Survival of Representations and Warranties. Seller acknowledges and agrees that the covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct on and as of the Effective Date as well as the Closing, and Seller's liability for any breach, default or failure of the same, including, without limitation, any misrepresentation, shall survive not only the recordation of the Grant Deed, but also the Closing. Seller shall protect, indemnify, defend, and hold Buyer free and harmless of, from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and litigation expenses, which Buyer may incur, suffer or sustain by reason of or in connection with any misrepresentation made by Seller pursuant to this Article 7.

The adopted Code requires designated employees to file an annual Statement of Economic Interests pursuant to the Fair Political Practices Commission’s (FPPC’s) regulations 18720 and 18730.

The City last updated its Code by adopting Resolution No. 2024-47 on September 24, 2024.

Disclosure Categories
Financial interests of employees holding positions designated in Exhibit "A" are to be reported in Statements of Economic Interest (Form 700) as follows:

Category 1:

Schedule A-1 - Investments – Stocks, Bonds and Other Interests (>$2000) For this category, “investment” means any financial interest in any business entity which is located in, doing business in, planning to do business in or which has done business during the previous two years in Lake Elsinore and in which the employee/spouse or registered domestic partner/dependent children had a direct, indirect or beneficial interest totaling $2,000 or more at any time during a reporting period. “Doing business in Lake Elsinore” means the entity has business contacts on a regular or substantial basis with a person who maintains a physical presence in Lake Elsinore (e.g., manufacturing, distributing, selling, purchasing, or providing services or goods.)
Category 2:

Schedule A-2 - Investments, Income, Assets of Business Entities/Trusts This category requires reporting investments in and income derived from a business entity or trust in which employee/spouse or registered domestic partner/dependent children have a 10% or greater interest valued at $2,000 or more during the reporting period, and, which is located in, doing business in, planning to do business in or which has done business during the previous two years in Lake Elsinore. This category includes commission income in excess of $10,000 and real property interests held by the business entity or trust.

Category 3:

Schedule B - Interests in Real Property
This category requires disclosure of interests in real property located in Lake Elsinore (in whole or in part), or not more than two miles outside the boundaries of the City, other than a residence, including an ownership interest, deed of trust, easement, option, leasehold interest, or interest in real property held by a business entity in which the employee has 10% or more ownership interest.

Note that this category also requires disclosure of a spouse’s or registered domestic partner’s separate interest in real property as well.

Category 4:

Schedule C – Income, Loans and Business Positions
This category would require disclosure if the employee/member receives a gross income exceeding $500.00 from any source located in, doing business in, planning to do business in or which has done business in Lake Elsinore within the previous two years. It would include salary, wages, per diem, expense reimbursement, the employee’s community property interest in a spouse’s or registered domestic partner’s income from such a business, commission income, gross income from the sale of a house or car not otherwise reported on another schedule, honoraria, payments received on loans made to others, etc.

Category 5:

Schedules D and E – Loans, Gifts, Honoraria, Travel Payments, etc.

These categories relate to reporting requirements for any income received from non-government sources located in or doing business in Lake Elsinore whether it be in the form of loans, gifts, honoraria, or travel payments, advances and reimbursements. We believe that absent some extraordinary circumstance, these categories should still be applicable to all designated employees, and board and commission members and all should disclose in these categories. A gift is reportable if its fair market value is $50 or more. In addition, multiple gifts totaling $50 or more received during the reporting period from a single source must be reported. Gifts are reportable regardless of where the donor is located. Travel payments reportable on Schedule E include advances and reimbursements for travel and related expenses, including lodging and meals. Gifts of travel may be subject to the gift limit. In addition, certain travel payments are reportable gifts, but are not subject to the gift limit. To avoid possible misinterpretation or the perception that you have received a gift in excess of the gift limit, you may wish to provide a specific description of the purpose of your travel.
1 (Regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission, Title 2, Division 6, California Code of Regulations)
§ 18730. Provisions of Conflict of Interest Codes.
(a) Incorporation by reference of the terms of this regulation along with the designation of employees and the formulation of disclosure categories in the Appendix referred to below constitute the adoption and promulgation of a conflict of interest code within the meaning of Section 87300 or the amendment of a conflict of interest code within the meaning of Section 87306 if the terms of this regulation are substituted for terms of a conflict of interest code already in effect. A code so amended or adopted and promulgated requires the reporting of reportable items in a manner substantially equivalent to the requirements of article 2 of chapter 7 of the Political Reform Act, Sections 81000, et seq. The requirements of a conflict of interest code are in addition to other requirements of the Political Reform Act, such as the general prohibition against conflicts of interest contained in Section 87100, and to other state or local laws pertaining to conflicts of interest.
(b) The terms of a conflict of interest code amended or adopted and promulgated pursuant to this regulation are as follows:
(1) Section 1. Definitions.

The definitions contained in the Political Reform Act of 1974, regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission (Regulations 18110, et seq.), and any amendments to the Act or regulations, are incorporated by reference into this conflict of interest code. (2) Section 2. Designated Employees.
2 The persons holding positions listed in the Appendix are designated employees. It has been determined that these persons make or participate in the making of decisions which may foreseeably have a material effect on economic interests. (3) Section 3. Disclosure Categories.

This code does not establish any disclosure obligation for those designated employees who are also specified in Section 87200 if they are designated in this code in that same capacity or if the geographical jurisdiction of this agency is the same as or is wholly included within the jurisdiction in which those persons must report their economic interests pursuant to article 2 of chapter 7 of the Political Reform Act, Sections 87200, et seq.

In addition, this code does not establish any disclosure obligation for any designated employees who are designated in a conflict of interest code for another agency, if all of the following apply:
(A) The geographical jurisdiction of this agency is the same as or is wholly included within the jurisdiction of the other agency;
(B) The disclosure assigned in the code of the other agency is the same as that required under article 2 of chapter 7 of the Political Reform Act, Section 87200; and (C) The filing officer is the same for both agencies. [FN1] Such persons are covered by this code for disqualification purposes only. With respect to all other designated employees, the disclosure categories set forth in the Appendix specify which kinds of economic interests are reportable. Such a designated employee shall disclose in the employee's statement of economic interests those economic interests the employee has which are of the kind described in the disclosure categories to which the employee is assigned in the Appendix. It has been determined that the economic interests set forth in a designated employee's 3 disclosure categories are the kinds of economic interests which the employee foreseeably can affect materially through the conduct of the employee's office. (4) Section 4. Statements of Economic Interests: Place of Filing.

The code reviewing body shall instruct all designated employees within its code to file statements of economic interests with the agency or with the code reviewing body, as provided by the code reviewing body in the agency's conflict of interest code or with the Fair Political Practices Commission using the Commission's electronic filing system as required under Section 87500. [FN2]
(5) Section 5. Statements of Economic Interests: Time of Filing. (A) Initial Statements. All designated employees employed by the agency on the effective date of this code, as originally adopted, promulgated and approved by the code reviewing body, shall file statements within 30 days after the effective date of this code. Thereafter, each person already in a position when it is designated by an amendment to this code shall file an initial statement within 30 days after the effective date of the amendment. (B) Assuming Office Statements. All persons assuming designated positions after the effective date of this code shall file statements within 30 days after assuming the designated positions, or if subject to State Senate confirmation, 30 days after being nominated or appointed. (C) Annual Statements. All designated employees shall file statements no later than April

1. If a person reports for military service as defined in the Servicemember's Civil Relief Act, the deadline for the annual statement of economic interests is 30 days following the person's return to office, provided the person, or someone authorized to represent the person's interests, notifies the filing officer in writing prior to the applicable filing deadline that the person is subject to that 4 federal statute and is unable to meet the applicable deadline, and provides the filing officer verification of the person's military status.
(D) Leaving Office Statements. All persons who leave designated positions shall file statements within 30 days after leaving office.
(5.5) Section 5.5. Statements for Persons Who Resign Prior to Assuming Office.

Any person who resigns within 12 months of initial appointment, or within 30 days of the date of notice provided by the filing officer to file an assuming office statement, is not deemed to have assumed office or left office, provided the person did not make or participate in the making of, or use the person's position to influence any decision and did not receive or become entitled to receive any form of payment as a result of the person's appointment. Such persons shall not file either an assuming or leaving office statement.
(A) Any person who resigns a position within 30 days of the date of a notice from the filing officer shall do both of the following:
(1) File a written resignation with the appointing power; and (2) File a written statement with the filing officer declaring under penalty of perjury that during the period between appointment and resignation the person did not make, participate in the making, or use the position to influence any decision of the agency or receive, or become entitled to receive, any form of payment by virtue of being appointed to the position. (6) Section 6. Contents of and Period Covered by Statements of Economic Interests. (A) Contents of Initial Statements.

Initial statements shall disclose any reportable investments, interests in real property and business positions held on the effective date of the code and income received during the 12 months prior to the effective date of the code.
5 (B) Contents of Assuming Office Statements.

Assuming office statements shall disclose any reportable investments, interests in real property and business positions held on the date of assuming office or, if subject to State Senate confirmation or appointment, on the date of nomination, and income received during the 12 months prior to the date of assuming office or the date of being appointed or nominated, respectively.
(C) Contents of Annual Statements. Annual statements shall disclose any reportable investments, interests in real property, income and business positions held or received during the previous calendar year provided, however, that the period covered by an employee's first annual statement shall begin on the effective date of the code or the date of assuming office whichever is later, or for a board or commission member subject to Section 87302.6, the day after the closing date of the most recent statement filed by the member pursuant to Regulation 18754. (D) Contents of Leaving Office Statements.

Leaving office statements shall disclose reportable investments, interests in real property, income and business positions held or received during the period between the closing date of the last statement filed and the date of leaving office.

(A) No member of a state board or commission, and no designated employee of a state or local government agency, shall accept any honorarium from any source, if the member or employee would be required to report the receipt of income or gifts from that source on the member's or employee's statement of economic interests. (B) This section shall not apply to any parttime member of the governing board of any public institution of higher education, unless the member is also an elected official.

(B) No public official who is exempt from the state civil service system pursuant to subdivisions (c), (d), (e), (f), and (g) of Section 4 of Article VII of the Constitution shall, while he or she holds office, receive a personal loan from any officer, employee, member, or consultant of the state or local government agency in which the public official holds office or over which the public official's agency has direction and control.

This subdivision shall not apply to loans made by banks or other financial institutions or to any indebtedness created as part of a retail installment or credit card transaction, if the loan is made or the indebtedness created in the lender's regular course of business on terms available to members of the public without regard to the elected officer's official status. (D) No public official who is exempt from the state civil service system pursuant to subdivisions (c), (d), (e), (f), and (g) of Section 4 of Article VII of the Constitution shall, while the official holds office, receive a personal loan from any person who has a contract with the state or local government agency to which that elected officer has been elected or over which that elected officer's agency has direction and control. This subdivision shall not apply to loans made by banks or other financial institutions or to any indebtedness created as part of a retail installment or credit card transaction, if the loan is made or the indebtedness created in the lender's regular course of business on terms available to members of the public without regard to the elected officer's official status.

3. Loans from a person which, in the aggregate, do not exceed $500 at any given time. 10 4. Loans made, or offered in writing, before January 1, 1998. (8.3) Section 8.3. Loan Terms.

2. Loans made to the elected officer by his or her spouse, child, parent, grandparent, grandchild, brother, sister, parentinlaw, brotherinlaw, sisterinlaw, nephew, niece, aunt, uncle, or first cousin, or the spouse of any such person, provided that the person making the loan is not acting as an agent or intermediary for any person not otherwise exempted under this section.

3. Loans made, or offered in writing, before January 1, 1998. (C) Nothing in this section shall exempt any person from any other provision of Title 9 of the Government Code.
(8.4) Section 8.4. Personal Loans.
(A) Except as set forth in subdivision (B), a personal loan received by any designated employee shall become a gift to the designated employee for the purposes of this section in the following circumstances:

1. If the loan has a defined date or dates for repayment, when the statute of limitations for filing an action for default has expired.
11 2. If the loan has no defined date or dates for repayment, when one year has elapsed from the later of the following:
a. The date the loan was made.
b. The date the last payment of $100 or more was made on the loan. c. The date upon which the debtor has made payments on the loan aggregating to less than $250 during the previous 12 months.
(B) This section shall not apply to the following types of loans:

1. A loan made to the campaign committee of an elected officer or a candidate for elective office.

2. A loan that would otherwise not be a gift as defined in this title.

3. A loan that would otherwise be a gift as set forth under subdivision (A), but on which the creditor has taken reasonable action to collect the balance due.

4. A loan that would otherwise be a gift as set forth under subdivision (A), but on which the creditor, based on reasonable business considerations, has not undertaken collection action.

Except in a criminal action, a creditor who claims that a loan is not a gift on the basis of this paragraph has the burden of proving that the decision for not taking collection action was based on reasonable business considerations.

5. A loan made to a debtor who has filed for bankruptcy and the loan is ultimately discharged in bankruptcy.
(C) Nothing in this section shall exempt any person from any other provisions of Title 9 of the Government Code.
(9) Section 9. Disqualification.
12 No designated employee shall make, participate in making, or in any way attempt to use the employee's official position to influence the making of any governmental decision which the employee knows or has reason to know will have a reasonably foreseeable material financial effect, distinguishable from its effect on the public generally, on the official or a member of the official's immediate family or on:
(A) Any business entity in which the designated employee has a direct or indirect investment worth $2,000 or more;
(B) Any real property in which the designated employee has a direct or indirect interest worth $2,000 or more;
(C) Any source of income, other than gifts and other than loans by a commercial lending institution in the regular course of business on terms available to the public without regard to official status, aggregating $500 or more in value provided to, received by or promised to the designated employee within 12 months prior to the time when the decision is made; (D) Any business entity in which the designated employee is a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or holds any position of management; or (E) Any donor of, or any intermediary or agent for a donor of, a gift or gifts aggregating $630 or more provided to, received by, or promised to the designated employee within 12 months prior to the time when the decision is made.
(9.3) Section 9.3. Legally Required Participation.

No designated employee shall be prevented from making or participating in the making of any decision to the extent the employee's participation is legally required for the decision to be made. The fact that the vote of a designated employee who is on a voting body is needed to break a tie does not make the employees' participation legally required for purposes of this section. 13 (9.5) Section 9.5. Disqualification of State Officers and Employees.

In addition to the general disqualification provisions of section 9, no state administrative official shall make, participate in making, or use the official's position to influence any governmental decision directly relating to any contract where the state administrative official knows or has reason to know that any party to the contract is a person with whom the state administrative official, or any member of the official's immediate family has, within 12 months prior to the time when the official action is to be taken:
(A) Engaged in a business transaction or transactions on terms not available to members of the public, regarding any investment or interest in real property; or (B) Engaged in a business transaction or transactions on terms not available to members of the public regarding the rendering of goods or services totaling in value $1,000 or more. (10) Section 10. Disclosure of Disqualifying Interest.

When a designated employee determines that the employee should not make a governmental decision because the employee has a disqualifying interest in it, the determination not to act may be accompanied by disclosure of the disqualifying interest. (11) Section 11. Assistance of the Commission and Counsel.

Any designated employee who is unsure of the duties under this code may request assistance from the Fair Political Practices Commission pursuant to Section 83114 and Regulations 18329 and 18329.5 or from the attorney for the employee's agency, provided that nothing in this section requires the attorney for the agency to issue any formal or informal opinion. (12) Section 12. Violations.

This code has the force and effect of law. Designated employees violating any provision of this code are subject to the administrative, criminal and civil sanctions provided in the 14 Political Reform Act, Sections 8100091014. In addition, a decision in relation to which a violation of the disqualification provisions of this code or of Section 87100 or 87450 has occurred may be set aside as void pursuant to Section 91003. [FN1]
Designated employees who are required to file statements of economic interests under any other agency's conflict of interest code, or under article 2 for a different jurisdiction, may expand their statement of economic interests to cover reportable interests in both jurisdictions, and file copies of this expanded statement with both entities in lieu of filing separate and distinct statements, provided that each copy of such expanded statement filed in place of an original is signed and verified by the designated employee as if it were an original. See Section 81004. [FN2]
See Section 81010 and Regulation 18115 for the duties of filing officers and persons in agencies who make and retain copies of statements and forward the originals to the filing officer. [FN3]
For the purpose of disclosure only (not disqualification), an interest in real property does not include the principal residence of the filer.
[FN4]
Investments and interests in real property which have a fair market value of less than $2,000 are not investments and interests in real property within the meaning of the Political Reform Act.

However, investments or interests in real property of an individual include those held by the individual's spouse and dependent children as well as a pro rata share of any investment or interest in real property of any business entity or trust in which the individual, spouse and 15 dependent children own, in the aggregate, a direct, indirect or beneficial interest of 10 percent or greater.
[FN5]
A designated employee's income includes the employee's community property interest in the income of the employee's spouse but does not include salary or reimbursement for expenses received from a state, local or federal government agency. [FN6]
Income of a business entity is reportable if the direct, indirect or beneficial interest of the filer and the filer's spouse in the business entity aggregates a 10 percent or greater interest. In addition, the disclosure of persons who are clients or customers of a business entity is required only if the clients or customers are within one of the disclosure categories of the filer.

TO: Mayors, Council Members, City Clerks, and City Managers RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Sept. 23-25, 2026 Anaheim 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 Friday, Sept. 25, 2026 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 Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026. 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 opens June 2.

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 Council Action Advised by September 1, 2026
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 Anaheim Convention Center, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Sept. 23, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Sept. 24, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Sept. 25, 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 Tuesday, Sept. 1. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.

2. Designating a City Voting Representative. Prior to the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, each city council may designate a voting delegate and up to two alternates; these individuals are identified on the voting delegate form provided to the Cal Cities Credentials Committee.

3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.

4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city’s voting card by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution.

5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.

6. Voting Area at 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.

7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of a city official to vote at the General Assembly.

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.

For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
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).

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by: Adam Gufarotti, Assistant Director of Lake & Community Operations Date: August 11, 2026
Subject: Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement with GEI Consultants, Inc. for Lake Water Quality Testing & Reporting
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with GEI Consultants, Inc. for lake water quality testing and reporting for an additional amount of $50,000 for a new not to exceed amount of $200,000 in such final form as approved by the City Attorney.

Background
Lake Elsinore is a vital resource for wildlife and recreation, but its location at the bottom of the San Jacinto Watershed makes it vulnerable to recurring algae blooms and water quality issues caused by nutrient-laden runoff. To address these challenges, the City Council approved a comprehensive Lake Management Plan in August 2023. Since then, the City has installed three nanobubble barges to improve oxygen levels and reduce algae, supported by an ongoing maintenance program that includes targeted algaecide treatments and shoreline upkeep. GEI Consultants provides ongoing lake water quality testing and conducts additional technical studies to help guide and inform these management efforts.

GEI Contract Amendment No. 2

Page 2 of 2 ends

Discussion
The City has expanded the scope of work under its contract with GEI to include the additional environmental testing, monitoring, documentation, and reporting required for the federally funded Phase III Project. This expanded scope will help ensure compliance with all applicable federal funding requirements and provide the technical data necessary to support project implementation and ongoing performance evaluation.

Fiscal Impact
The costs associated with these services will be funded through the federal appropriations secured by the City for the project.

Consultant shall require that all subcontractors agree in writing that City is granted a nonexclusive and perpetual license for any Documents & Data the subcontractor prepares under this Agreement.

Access to such records and documents shall be granted to any party authorized by Consultant, Consultant’s representatives, or Consultant’s successor-in-interest.

9. Independent Contractor.
a. Consultant is and shall at all times remain as to the City a wholly independent contractor pursuant to California Labor Code Section 3353. The personnel performing the services under this Agreement on behalf of Consultant shall at all times be under Consultant’s exclusive direction and control. Neither City nor any of its officers, employees, or agents shall have control over the conduct of Consultant or any of Consultant’s officers, employees, or agents, except as set forth in this Agreement. Consultant shall not at any time or in any manner represent that it or any of its officers, employees, or agents are in any manner officers, employees, or agents of the City. Consultant shall not incur or have the power to incur any debt, obligation, or liability whatsoever against City, or bind City in any manner. b. Notwithstanding any other federal, state and local laws, codes, ordinances and regulations to the contrary and except for the fees paid to Consultant as provided in the Agreement, Consultant and any of its employees, agents, and subcontractors providing service under this Agreement shall not qualify for or become entitled to, and hereby agree to waive any claims to, any compensation, benefit, or any incident of employment by City, including but not limited to eligibility to enroll in PERS as an employee of City and entitlement to any contribution to be paid by City for employer contribution and/or employee contributions for PERS benefits.

10. PERS Eligibility Indemnification. In the event that Consultant or any employee, agent, or subcontractor of Consultant 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, Consultant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Consultant 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.

11. Interests of Consultant. Consultant (including principals, associates and professional employees) covenants and represents that it does not now have any investment or interest in real property and shall not acquire any interest, direct or indirect, in the area covered Docusign Envelope ID: A40B02DD-8A71-4F5F-B9D0-DF4196EA4F8D

Page 5 ends

by this Agreement or any other source of income, interest in real property or investment which would be affected in any manner or degree by the performance of Consultant’s services hereunder. Consultant further covenants and represents that in the performance of its duties hereunder no person having any such interest shall perform any services under this Agreement.

Consultant is not a designated employee within the meaning of the Political Reform Act because Consultant:
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. Professional Ability of Consultant. City has relied upon the professional training and ability of Consultant to perform the services hereunder as a material inducement to enter into this Agreement. Consultant shall therefore provide properly skilled professional and technical personnel to perform all services under this Agreement. All work performed by Consultant under this Agreement shall be in accordance with applicable legal requirements and shall meet the standard of quality ordinarily to be expected of competent professionals in Consultant’s field of expertise.

13. Compliance with Laws.
a. Consultant 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 Consultant and/or its employees, officers, or board members.
b. Consultant 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. Consultant represents and warrants to City that it has the licenses, permits, qualifications, insurance and approvals of whatsoever nature which are legally required of Consultant to practice its profession. Consultant represents and warrants to City that Consultant shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep in effect or obtain at all times during the term of this Agreement, any licenses, permits, insurance and approvals which are legally required of Consultant to practice its profession. Consultant shall maintain a City of Lake Elsinore business license.

15. Indemnity. Consultant 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 Consultant 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 Consultant shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of Docusign Envelope ID: A40B02DD-8A71-4F5F-B9D0-DF4196EA4F8D

Page 6 ends

law arises from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Consultant 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 Consultant 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 Consultant 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, Consultant acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.

16. Insurance Requirements.
a. Insurance. Consultant, at Consultant’s own cost and expense, shall procure and maintain, for the duration of the contract, unless modified by the City’s Risk Manager, the following insurance policies.
i. Workers’ Compensation Coverage. Consultant shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance for his/her employees in accordance with the laws of the State of California. In addition, Consultant shall require each subcontractor to similarly maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance in accordance with the laws of the State of California for all of the subcontractor’s employees. Any notice of cancellation or non-renewal of all Workers’ Compensation policies must be received by the City at least thirty (30) days prior to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by Consultant for City. In the event that Consultant is exempt from Worker’s Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance for his/her employees in accordance with the laws of the State of California, Consultant shall submit to the City a Certificate of Exemption from Workers Compensation Insurance in a form approved by the City Attorney.
ii. General Liability Coverage. Consultant shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. If a commercial general liability insurance form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit. Required commercial general liability coverage shall be at least as broad as Insurance Services Office Commercial General Liability occurrence form CG 0001 (ed. 11/88) or Insurance Services Office form number GL 0002 (ed. 1/73) covering comprehensive General Liability and Insurance Services Office form number GL 0404 covering Broad Form Comprehensive General Liability.

Each general liability and automobile liability insurance policy shall be with insurers possessing a Best’s rating of no less than A:VII and shall be endorsed with the following specific language:
i. Notwithstanding any inconsistent statement in any required insurance policies or any subsequent endorsements attached thereto, the protection offered by all policies, except for Workers’ Compensation, shall bear an endorsement whereby it is provided that, the City and its officers, employees, servants, volunteers and agents and independent contractors, including without limitation, the City Manager and City Attorney, are named as additional insureds. Additional insureds shall be entitled to the full benefit of all insurance policies in the same manner and to the same extent as any other insureds and there shall be no limitation to the benefits conferred upon them other than policy limits to coverages.
ii. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects the City, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers.

Any insurance maintained by the City, including any self-insured retention the City may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with it. iii.

iv. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against the City, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees or agents. v. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents or volunteers.

Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with the City on or before commencement of performance of this Agreement. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with the City at all times during the term of this Agreement.

17. Notices. Any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and either served personally or sent prepaid, first class mail. Any such notice shall be addressed to the other party at the address set forth below.

23. Equal Opportunity Employment.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by: Damaris Abraham, Community Development Director Date: August 11, 2026
Subject: Notice of Decision – Planning Commission Approval of Planning Application No. 2026-04 for a Conditional Use Permit to Legalize an Existing Cattery Located in a Residential Accessory Structure at 131 Via De La Valle Applicant: Beth Kohler, Purrfect Fit Cat Rescue
Recommendation
Receive and file the Notice of Decision for Planning Application No. 2026-04 approved by the Planning Commission on July 21, 2026.

Background
Planning Application No. 2026-04 is a request for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP No. 2026-01) to legalize an existing cattery (or cat rescue), Purrfect Fit Cat Rescue, which is currently operating within an existing permitted 967 sq. ft. detached accessory structure on a 2.5-acre site with an existing single-family residence. The cattery houses and provides veterinary care (including spaying and neutering) for 38 resident cats and 13 visiting cats but would not exceed a maximum of 51 cats at any given time. At the time of drafting this staff report, the number of cats has since decreased to less than 40 cats, and the operator does not intend to accept any additional cats.

PA 2026-04 (Via De La Valle Cattery)

Page 2 of 2 ends

The cattery is closed to the public and does not provide private boarding services or adoption services and is only a non-profit cat rescue with no plans to add any additional cats. Foot traffic is limited to the property owner and occasionally veterinary personnel.

The project site is a 2.5-acre fully developed property located on the northeastern corner of the Via De la Valle and Via De La Luna intersection within the Tuscany Hills Specific Plan at 131 Via De La Valle and encompasses Assessor’s Parcel Number: 363-350-014.

On July 21, 2026, the Planning Commission by a 5-0 vote took the following actions:

1. Found that the proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities); and

2. Adopted A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2026-01 TO

LEGALIZE AN EXISTING CATTERY LOCATED WITHIN A RESIDENTIAL ACCESSORY STRUCTURE AT 131 VIA DE LA VALLE (APN: 363-350-014).

Discussion
The Planning Commission voted 5-0 to approve the project at its regular meeting on July 21, 2026. No written oral comments were received. The applicant was in attendance at the meeting.

The Planning Commission’s decision is final, and no action by the City Council is required unless the City Council, by majority vote, elects to review and reconsider the Planning Commission’s decision by ordering the matter set for a future noticed public hearing according to Section

17.410.110.F of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC), or the applicant or an interested person files a complete appeal application within 15 days of this notice appearing on the City Council’s Agenda.

Fiscal Impact
The time and cost related to processing this application have been covered by fees paid by the applicant. No General Fund budgets have been allocated or used in the processing of this application. Project approval does not fiscally impact the City’s General Fund. Mitigation measures to protect the City fiscally have been included in the Conditions of Approval.

Project Description
Planning Application No. 2026-04 is a request for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP No. 2026-01) to legalize an existing cattery (or cat rescue), Purrfect Fit Cat Rescue, which is currently operating within a 967 sq. ft. detached accessory structure on a 2.5-acre site with an existing single-family residence. 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 cats were previously brought in from private citizens to the cattery where the cats would be neutered or spayed and vaccinated before being taken to a local pet shop for adoption. However, the cattery is currently closed to the public and does not provide private boarding services or adoption services and is only a non-profit cat rescue with no plans to add any additional cats.

Foot traffic is limited to the property owner and occasionally veterinary personnel.

Analysis
The following analysis provides a discussion of the proposed project’s consistency with the commercial development standards and requirements pursuant to the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC) as well as the General Plan. In addition, the Design Review Committee, including Staff from Planning, Building and Safety, Fire, and Engineering Departments, and the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, has reviewed the project and has included recommended conditions of approval to ensure compliance with adopted plans, policies, and regulations.

Specific Plan Consistency
The proposed project is located in the Tuscany Hills Specific Plan (THSP) and has a land use designation of Single-Family Residential. This designation is intended to accommodate residential projects comprised of quality single-family residences developed in an urban environment with available public services and infrastructure. According to Chapter 8 of the THSP, the keeping of exotic animals or birds, or more than three (3) dogs and/or cats on the same lot as a permitted dwelling for pets only and not for commercial purposes requires a CUP in the Single-Family Residential district. The project proposes to legalize an existing cat rescue and does not involve any interior or exterior improvements. The structure housing the cats is located to the rear of the property and is tucked between two (2) hills (see Figure 1) which shows that the structure is not readily visible from adjacent residential properties or the public right-of-way (see PA 2026-04 (Via De La Valle Cattery)

Figure 2). As depicted in Figure 1 and the project’s aerial map (Attachment 3), the cattery is not directly adjacent to any neighboring residential structures aside from the property owner’s home.

The nearest residential neighbor is approximately 270 feet west and uphill of the cattery and the property to the rear is occupied by a water treatment facility. During a site inspection conducted by both the Planning and the Building and Safety Divisions, 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.
