This Service Agreement may be cancelled by the Employer at any time upon written notice to MidAmerica. In the event of such termination, MidAmerica shall complete claims that are in process, but shall otherwise follow the instructions of the Employer with respect to the transition of claims processing.

Hold Harmless Agreement and Indemnity. MidAmerica and the Employer agree that they will each be responsible for the prompt and complete performance of the services each has agreed to provide under this Agreement, as set forth above. In addition to these undertakings, the parties assume the following responsibilities:
(a) Hold Harmless Agreement of MidAmerica: MidAmerica shall indemnify and hold harmless the Employer, any member of the governing board, and Employees from every claim, demand or suit which may arise out of, be connected with, or be made due to the negligence of MidAmerica or failure of MidAmerica to meet the requirements of this Agreement. However, this indemnification shall not cover any claim, demand, or suit based on erroneous information provided by the Employer or Employees or their willful misconduct or negligence. MidAmerica’s liability hereunder shall be limited to actual damages and out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses only. (b) Other Providers: If the services provided by MidAmerica under this Agreement were previously provided by the Employer or a third party, the Employer agrees that MidAmerica shall not be responsible for any failure of the prior Plan document or administrative services to comply with the requirements for employer-provided medical reimbursement Plan under Code Sections 105 and 106 and regulations issued thereunder, and as a health reimbursement arrangement as described in IRS Notice 2002-45 and Revenue Ruling 2002-41, other applicable law, or the prior Plan. This does not exempt or diminish MidAmerica’s responsibility as the active administrator and other responsibilities as described herein and required under IRS regulations. MidAmerica is also not responsible for the accuracy and completeness of participant and payroll data provided by the Employer or any third party provider. Employer agrees that MidAmerica and its affiliates and employees will be indemnified by any responsible third parties from any claim asserted against any of them for any of these reasons, and will further be indemnified from any cost and expense they incur, including reasonable attorney’s fees, due to the assertion of such a claim, or by the Employer if not adequately indemnified by third parties.

Nothing herein will prevent the assertion of any claim directly against any third party by MidAmerica or the Employer.

However, MidAmerica will not be liable for such payment, unless MidAmerica would otherwise be liable under another provision of this Agreement.

Compliance; non-waiver. Failure by the Employer or MidAmerica to insist upon strict performance of any provision of this Agreement will not modify such provision, render it unenforceable, or waive any subsequent breach.

Data & Contributions
Plan Sponsor Portal
You will receive a secure login for our Plan Sponsor portal at www.myMidAmerica.com, which can be accessed at any time to generate reports and review transactions. If you do not have a secure login, please contact your dedicated Account Manager. If you are unaware of your appropriate contact, please call (855) 329-0095. At plan year end, you will receive statements which will recur annually thereafter and also be available at the Plan Sponsor portal. Please note that you do not have to log in to upload your contribution, forfeiture, or census data.

Data Requirements
Why am I asked to provide my participants’ personal email addresses? Personal email addresses are critical so that communications with the participant are uninterrupted in the event of retirement or separation from service. We want to provide valuable account information, important plan details and periodic updates to your participants as efficiently as possible, and in the way they prefer to receive them.

How can I upload data?

1. Go to www.myMidAmerica.com

2. Select Upload File from the top right-hand corner, then select For Employers/Partners

3. From the Employer Upload Site landing page, select your form type (Contributions, Forfeiture or Census)

4. Complete the series of identifying questions. Please note if you have selected the Contributions form, you must enter a funding amount.

5. Upload the appropriate Data Requirements Template (Contributions, Forfeiture or Census) using the blue upload button located below the comments section.

Tips for Filling out the Data Requirements Spreadsheet
• Populate all fields, including preferred fields.
• Participant Eligibility Date is the date that the participant enters the plan. This date can be different from the contribution date.

HRA Type Eligibility Date
Retiree-Only HRA Date of retirement or separation from
service
Integrated HRA
An HRA that’s integrated with your group health plan. First day of the medical plan year.

Defined Contribution HRA

Quick Tip
You must use the Data
Requirements Spreadsheet
U.S. BENCOR/MidAmerica
provides. Data is not
accepted in any other
format.

DIIBENCOR
ISi MidAmerica

Page 151 of 186 ends

If the participant is currently an active employee, simply select “active” from the dropdown on your template. If they were previously retired and have been rehired, simply state “rehired” along with the rehire date. If you are unsure how to determine the eligibility data, please contact your Account Management team at [email protected].
• Date of Separation applies to those employees who have retired or separated employment. If the individual is still currently employed with you, simply indicate “active.” • Date of Coverage Termination applies to integrated plans that may have participants who are still active, or retirees who stay on the group’s plan in retirement, who have terminated their group coverage. Report the date that the participant (active employee or retiree) is no longer enrolled in your employer sponsored group health coverage. This date is required to properly administer the participant’s account as the plan’s reimbursements may change once group coverage is terminated. • Percent Vested applies to plans that have a vesting schedule in place. Simply use this dropdown to indicate what percent the employee is vested. If no vesting schedule applies, leave the field blank. If you are unsure of your plan’s vesting schedule, please refer to your Adoption Agreement, beginning on page 3. • Class assignment can be found in your Adoption Agreement beginning on page 3. The document will provide the eligible class and what defines it, as well as the employment status. In the below example, any employee meeting the criteria in the “Defined As” section would be labeled as “RetA” on the Data Requirements Spreadsheet.

To access your Adoption Agreement, locate your plan documents by logging into your account at www.myMidAmerica.com and selecting Forms & Reports from the choices at the top. Next, select Forms. If you still have questions about the eligible class, please email us at [email protected].

Census and Employment Status Change Updates
If there are changes to your census information, you can use your Data Requirements Spreadsheet to make updates.

This includes participant census changes such as last name, address, phone number and email, as well as employment status changes such as when a participant retires or separates. You can also use the spreadsheet to update any participants who have separated from employment without reaching 100% vesting. Once that information is received, U.S. BENCOR/MidAmerica is then able to forfeit their balance back to the employer.

To accurately process these requested changes, we can only accept the information in the format provided on the Data Requirements Spreadsheet. You may upload the completed spreadsheet with your contributions online at www.myMidAmerica.com. Be sure to check the box on the contribution upload site indicating that census changes are Vesting Schedule Parti cipants shall own their accmmt balance in accordance with the following vesting schedule:

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution of the City Council of the City of Livingston (1) Approving the Revised Measure V Regional Project Application Changes, (2) Authorizing the City to apply 10% leveraging funds to the North Main Street Rehabilitation and Main & Davis St Traffic Signal Reconfiguration funding applications, and (3) Authorizing Staff to submit the revised applications to MCAG for programming.

MEETING DATE: January 20, 2026
PREPARED BY: Jose A. Ramirez, City Manager
REVIEWED BY: Jose A. Ramirez, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026- , (1) Approving the Revised Measure V Regional Project Application Changes, (2) Authorizing the City to apply 10% leveraging funds to the North Main Street Rehabilitation and Main & Davis St Traffic Signal Reconfiguration funding applications, and (3) Authorizing Staff to submit the revised applications to MCAG for programming.

BACKGROUND
On January 12, 2026, the Measure V East Side Regional Projects Committee met to review the Programming Capacity for FY28/29 and FY 29/30, the submitted funding requests were discussed, and to provide a recommendation for programming to the MCAG Governing Board.

During the meeting, the funding requests submitted by the City of Livingston were discussed. The regionality and the timing for programming of the North Main Street Rehabilitation Project and the Main & Davis St Traffic Signal Reconfiguration Project Study Report (PSR) were discussed by the committee. While not the entire committee agreed on the regional nexus that was presented by City Staff and Mayor Pro Tem Samra. The committee came to a consensus that, if programming was moved to programming window and leveraging funds were applied by the City to the funding requests, then the North Main Street Projects could be included in the committee’s recommendation to the MCAG Governing Board.

DISCUSSION AND RECCOMENDATION
At the January 6, 2026, City Council Meeting, MCAG and City staff presented a discussion and direction item which resulted in City Council directing the programming adjustment for the Transit Center funding to a later programming year (FY 29/30) and reprioritizing the Candidate Project funding requests.

At the January 12, 2026, Measure V East Side Regional Projects Committee Meeting, the committee discussed the need for the North Main Street corridor projects to include City leveraging funds in the request to move forward as part of the committee recommendation. After some discussion Mayor Pro Tem told the committee that a resolution would be prepared and presented at the next City Council Meeting proposing to add 10% City leveraging funds to the

Page 157 of 186 ends

revised funding requests as well as proposing the programming in the FY 28/29 and FY 29/30 fiscal years.

The following is a summary of the project and the funding revisions:

Project Merits
Describe how the project meets the following criteria. You may expand on the sample questions in each category to include applicable information for your project:

Fundability
How do you expect to fully fund the project? Are you leveraging other fund types? Improvements to the Main Street corridor have been phased into segments. The proposed project is the northern segment of those improvements spanning from Campbell Blvd to Olive Avenue. The City is requesting $3,409,200 from Regional Measure V to fund the design and construction of the proposed improvements. The City will be providing a 10% match in the amount of $378,800 for purposes of leveraging.

Connectivity
Does your project have Complete Streets/Active Transportation components, or does it create regional connections?
This project will maintain the existing regional connectivity of Main Street/Livingston Cressey Way.

This corridor connects the City to the unincorporated community of Cressey and connects to the Santa Fe corridor.

Reduce Emissions
Will the project result in a reduction in Vehicle Miles Traveled or Single-Occupancy Vehicle use? This project is a pavement rehabilitation project and will not have a reduction of VMT or Single Occupancy Vehicle use. There may be minor emissions reductions that would occur from providing a smooth travel surface which provides a more consistent traffic movement pattern through the project area.

Safety
How does the project improve safety?
By providing a rebuilt structural section for the roadway the undulation that currently exists will be replaced with a smooth surface reducing the potential for vehicular conflicts with other motorists, bicyclists, or pedestrians. Additionally, safety will be increased by enhancements to the crosswalk striping utilizing high visibility markings in place of just limit lines.

Asset Management
Describe how the project protects, maintains, or improves existing transportation assets.

The construction of this project will extend the roadway’s useful life preserving the existing facilities.

Economic Development
How will your project support the local (or larger-scale) economy? This project supports the movement of goods through the region as it is a key access point for trucking to and from Foster Farms. Deliveries and shipping use this corridor to access SR-99 and the facility.

Community Support
Describe community engagement involved in the development of this project or project selection.

The community continually vocalizes its support for projects that improve the transportation facilities within the City’s existing infrastructure.

Project Merits
Describe how the project meets the following criteria. You may expand on the sample questions in each category to include applicable information for your project:

Fundability
How do you expect to fully fund the project? Are you leveraging other fund types? The City is actively seeking $ 202,500 in measure v funds for evaluating this intersection for improvement. The City will be providing leveraging funds for this phase of 10%, amounting to $22,500. Completing this PSR will allow the City to identify other funding mechanisms (Measure V, CMAQ, HSIP, etc.) to fund the selected project alternative if possible.

Connectivity
Does your project have Complete Streets/Active Transportation components, or does it create regional connections?
Improvements that would be identified for implementation into this intersection will improve community accessibility to commercial activity centers adjacent to the intersection. Active Transportation Improvements identified in the MLRSP would be incorporated into the selected project alternative.

Reduce Emissions
Will the project result in a reduction in Vehicle Miles Traveled or Single-Occupancy Vehicle use? Increasing the efficiency of the intersection will result in emissions reductions. These reductions would be in the form of less idle time while waiting for the signal to change. These reductions can be accounted for once improvements for the intersection are identified.

Safety
How does the project improve safety?
Examining the SWITRS database for the past 10 years this intersection has seen a number of accidents including at least 2 that involved pedestrians. One of the pedestrian accidents resulted in a pedestrian fatality. The MLRSP identified this intersection for curb ramp improvements to increase safety and accessibility. As part of the examination of the intersection and the selection of possible improvements, intersection crossing safety will be one of the main factors that is evaluated.

Asset Management
Describe how the project protects, maintains, or improves existing transportation assets.

The PSR will identify improvements that will expand the intersections useful life and allow continued efficient operation.

Economic Development
How will your project support the local (or larger-scale) economy? This project supports the movement of goods through the region as it is a part of a key access corridor for trucking to and from Foster Farms.

Community Support
Describe community engagement involved in the development of this project or project selection.

The community continually vocalizes its support for projects that improve the safety of transportation facilities within the City’s existing infrastructure.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution To Provide Direction For The Type Of 4th Of July Festival The City Council Wants Held In 2026
MEETING DATE: January 20, 2026
PREPARED BY: Jacquie Benoit, Recreation Superintendent
REVIEWED BY: Jose A. Ramirez, City Manager

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION
Provide directions to staff regarding the 2026 4th of July Festival in Livingston.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
For the past several decades, the City of Livingston funds and hosts the 4th of July Festival (“Festival”). The size of the event varies depending on funding available and whether fireworks can be obtained. In 2023, Recreation Superintendent Benoit secured a 3-year commitment with Pyro Spectacular for a lower-level but impactful show. The contract expired in 2025. However, Pyro Spectacular is available for the 2026 July Festival. The show's costs have increased by 10% due to the tariffs. Staff seeks direction to pursue a contract with Pyro Spectacular. As a reminder, 2026 is the United States of America’s 250th Anniversary.

The Festival is a 3-day event featuring a carnival, food and merchandise vendors, a beer garden, live entertainment, and a fireworks show on the 4th of July. City Council has the discretion to set the size and amenities of the Festival.

For many years, Julio Valadez and a group of volunteers would direct and manage the Festival because Mr. Valadez’s team can devote more time to organizing the Festival than the Recreation Department. Currently, the Recreation Department consists of two full time employees. Given the small size of the Department and large undertaking of the Festival, Mr.

Valadez and his team are necessary for hosting the Festival. In 2025, the expense for a 1-day event was $39,500.00. This did not include Police Department or Public Works overtime.

Staff would like to list three (3) options for consideration and are open to the Council's recommendations.

1. A one-day event on the 4th of July includes a fireworks show, a beer garden, 2 bands, and a DJ. Organized and run by a volunteer group or recreation department.

2. A three-day event was held in the past, either with volunteer coordination or with a paid event coordinator.

3. No event.

FISCAL IMPACT
Budget for this event will be brought to council for approval in the 26/27 budget.

RESOLUTION 2026-

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVINGSTON TO PROVIDE DIRECTION FOR THE TYPE OF 4th OF JULY FESTIVAL THE CITY COUNCIL WANTS HELD IN JULY 2026
WHEREAS, the 4th of July Festival has been an event held and paid for by the city for several decades. The size of the event has varied depending on funding available and if fireworks could be obtained; and
WHEREAS, in 2023, Recreation Superintendent Benoit was able to get a 3-year commitment for a lower-level but impactful show. 2025 was the last year of the contract.

A new contract will be brought to council in the near future should this be the direction council provides; and
WHEREAS, for many years, the festival has been directed and managed by a group of volunteers led by Julio Valadez. He has been able to provide an event level that, given the workload, the Recreation Department cannot; and
WHEREAS, The festival hosted a 3-day event featuring a carnival, food and merchandise vendors, a beer garden, and live entertainment; and WHEREAS, City Council has the discretion to set the size and impact of this event. Staff would like the council to understand that as Recreation Programs grow, the responsibilities of a 2-person full-time department are beyond capacity; and WHEREAS, staff has listed three (3) options for consideration and are open to the council's recommendations:

1. A one-day event on the 4th of July includes a fireworks show, a beer garden, 2 bands, and a DJ. Organized and run by a volunteer group or recreation department.

2. A three-day event was held in the past, either with volunteer coordination or with a paid event coordinator.

3. No event.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Livingston does hereby recommend
______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________.

I hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution No. 2026- is a full, true and correct copy of a resolution duly passed and adopted by City Council of the City of Livingston at a regular meeting thereof duly held on 20th day of January 2026, by the vote recorded as follows:

MERCED COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS (MCAG)

GOVERNING BOARD

Board meetings are held the third Thursday of every month at 3:00 p.m. at varied locations throughout Merced County.

ABOUT MCAG
Merced County Association of Governments (MCAG) is an association of city and county governments, with members who meet to solve regional problems such as transportation, solid waste, and air quality.

This Association of Governments is where the cities and the county come together as equal partners to solve problems that can only be accomplished by working together.

As a regional collaborative agency, MCAG serves in a number of transportation planning roles in Merced County based on local, state, and federal designations. These designations offer increased funding for MCAG activities, primarily in transportation planning for the unincorporated areas of Merced County.

Contact Kim Zinke at LAFCo’s Office at (209) 385-7671 if you have any questions. ABOUT LAFCO
The Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) is an independent commission created by the State to promote the wise use of land resources while providing for the present and future needs of a community.

LAFCo Commissioners have a responsibility to exercise their independent judgement while making decisions concerning appropriate local governmental boundaries and service providers.

To guide their decisions, the Merced LAFCo Commission has adopted the following four goals:

1. Planned, well-ordered, and efficient development patterns.

2. Governmental services are delivered efficiently and effectively.

3. The need to provide for urban development is balanced with the conservation of open space and prime agricultural lands.

4. Urban land use patterns maximize the opportunity for local jurisdictions to provide their fair share of regional housing needs for all income levels.

These goals were created to carry out the State's legislative intent codified within the Cortese-KnoxHertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act (CA Govt Code § 56001) of 2000: “The Legislature recognizes that the logical formation and determination of local agency boundaries is an important factor in promoting orderly development and in balancing such development with sometimes competing state interests of discouraging urban sprawl, preserving open space and prime agricultural lands, and efficiently extending government services. The Legislature also recognizes that providing housing for persons and families of all incomes is an important factor in promoting orderly development."
