STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Adopt A Resolution Of The City Council Of The City Of Livingston, Adopting A Comprehensive Pay Schedule Effective July 1, 2026
MEETING DATE: June 16, 2026
PREPARED BY: Arcelia Cruz, Human Resources Coordinator
REVIEWED BY: Jose Antonio Ramirez, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution Adopting a Comprehensive Pay Schedule Effective July 1, 2026.

BACKGROUND:

The wages, benefits, and other terms and working conditions of employment for all classifications in the City workforce are established through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for represented classifications, or via salary resolution for unrepresented classifications.

Each MOU and salary resolution contains a salary schedule reflecting the pay rates and their effective dates for all classifications within that bargaining unit or unrepresented employee group. The California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) utilizes these pay rates to establish compensation earnable for purposes of determining retirement benefits. CalPERS requires that pay rates be paid pursuant to a publicly available salary schedule approved by a member agency's governing body in order to qualify as compensation earnable for purposes of retirement. Compensation reported to CalPERS may not exceed the maximum pay rate established in the publicly available salary schedule approved by the governing body.

The Comprehensive Pay Schedule attached, marked as Exhibit A, has been amended to reflect the approved cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) as stated by each respective MOU or for unrepresented classifications per approved resolution.

The California Code of Regulations requires that the City Council adopt the City’s salary schedules at a public meeting (2 CCR § 570.5). This obligation arises whenever salary ranges are changed.

DISCUSSION
The City of Livingston Comprehensive Pay Schedule will now reflect the proposed salary adjustments as previously approved MOUs for the following:
• Management and Confidential Employees Association – 3% Effective July 1, 2026 • Public Works and Parks Employees Unit - 3% Effective July 1, 2026 • Unrepresented Classifications - 3% Effective July 1, 2026, as per Resolution for the Director of Public Works and Finance Director/Assistant City Manager 41 of 534

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this item as all pay rates included on the City-wide Comprehensive Pay Schedule have previously been approved by the City Council via approval of individual MOUs and salary resolutions.

ATTACHMENTS:

1. Resolution 2026-___, of the City of Livingston adopting a Citywide Comprehensive Pay Schedule with an effective date of July 1, 2026

AGENDA ITEM: Resolution to Approve a Reimbursement Agreement by and between the City of Livingston and JEG Livingston Ranches L.P. for Reimbursement of the City’s Costs Associated with Consideration of Additional Amendments to the City’s Adopted 2040 General Plan Preferred Land Use Alternative Study Area.

MEETING DATE: June 16, 2026
PREPARED BY: Miguel Galvez, Contract City Planner
REVIEWED BY: Jose Antonio Ramirez, City Manager
____________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution to Approve a Reimbursement Agreement by and between the City of Livingston and JEG Livingston Ranches L.P., for reimbursement of the City’s costs associated with consideration of additional amendments to the City’s Adopted 2040 General Plan Preferred Land Use Alternative Study Area.

PROJECT:

On February 13, 2026, City staff received a letter, see Attachment 2.a., requesting amendments as follows:

1. Change the 2040 General Plan Study Area Land Use Designation from Business Park with Specific Plan Overlay to a mix of uses as shown on the attached Land Use Exhibit of Attachment 2.b. These parcels are located west of Robin Ave, north of Vinewood Ave, east of Gallo Rd, and south of the Merced River.

2. Change the 2040 General Plan Study Area Land Use Designation from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Community Commercial (CC) for APN 047-160-012. This parcel is located at the southwest corner of Vinewood Ave and Robin Ave.

3. Add APNs 047-160-003, 047-160-004, 047-160-009 to the 2040 General Plan Update Study Area with General Plan Land Use Designation as shown on the attached Land Use Exhibit. These parcels are west of the previously approved study area, south of Vinewood Ave, and east of Washington Blvd.

4. A request that the parcels south of Vinewood Ave, east of Washington Blvd, north of Flint Ave, and west of Robin Ave be included in the proposed SOI. 49 of 534
2 BACKGROUND:

On November 18, 2025, the City Council adopted a Resolution Selecting a Preferred Land Use Alternative for use in the update of the City of Livingston 2040 General Plan and General Plan Land Use Diagram.

On February 13, 2026, City staff received a letter from Micah Gallo requesting amendments as described above.

On March 3, 2026, City staff presented the request from Micah Gallo to the City Council. The Council directed staff to work with general plan consultants and Mr. Gallo to incorporate the proposals identified.

ANALYSIS:

An amendment to the Preferred Land Use Alternative and Study Area is possible, but this would require formal City Council consideration and action at a noticed meeting and Public Hearing.

Briefly, some of the considerations include:

1. Discussion to solicit Planning Commission consideration and recommendation.

2. Amendments to baseline assumptions in the build-out model used for the study area.

3. Amendments to the scope, budget, and schedule.

4. Placing a hold on the General Plan update effort resulting in a minor restart as the General Plan Consultant team is currently evaluating the adopted study area which will be used to prepare a Program Environmental Impact Report.

5. An evaluation of a Specific Plan and a Development Agreement land use policy document. It could be a combination of both, namely preparation of a Specific Plan with a Development Agreement prepared for the development of specific parcels within the Specific Plan.

6. Discussion on passing some or all of the cost increases to the applicant to accommodate their request.

Mintier Harnish prepared a scope of work to perform this request, and this Agreement will serve to memorialize a Reimbursement Agreement to cover the cost of the services requested by JEG Livingston Ranches.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
Authorize the Finance Department to make a supplemental appropriation to the General Plan Update Fund – 2007-000-3954 for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 for $30,000.

Dear Honorable Mayor and Council Members,

Please accept our respectful request to amend the 2040 General Plan Update Study Area preferred land use alternative, which was previously adopted with amendments on November 18, 2025, as follows:

1. Change the 2040 General Plan Study Area Land Use Designation from Business Park with Specific Plan Overlay to a mix of uses as shown on the attached Land Use Exhibit for Merced County Assessor's Parcel Numbers (APNs) 047-080-006, 047-080-008, 047-080-011, 047-160-002, 047-160-005, 047- 160-006. These parcels are located west of Robin Ave, north of Vinewood Ave, east of Gallo Rd, and south of the Merced River.

4. We understand that the City plans to apply for a Sphere of Influence (SOI) amendment after completing the 2040 General Plan Update, associated infrastructure master plan updates, and Municipal Service Review update. All parcels affected by this request north of Vinewood Ave are already within the City's SOI. We would request that the parcels south of Vinewood Ave, east of Washington Blvd, north of Flint Ave, and west of Robin Ave be included in the proposed SOI.

These proposed amendments provide for a balanced mix of land uses that support community housing needs, jobs growth, commerce, and an expanded tax revenue base. Given current and foreseeable market conditions and regional competition, these proposed land use designations are much more likely to attract 53 of 534

development for the City than a ±350-acre business park specific plan area that requires substantial additional entitlement and analysis. The vast majority of the parcels listed above, including all the lands north of Vinewood Ave, have been included in the City's Sphere of Influence for decades. Being located at the edge of the existing city, between adjacent freeway access and the City's Water Reclamation Facility, it seems to be a matter of when, not if, these lands will be developed as part of the City of Livingston. Furthermore, Vinewood Ave is currently programmed in the Circulation Element as an Arterial roadway, and as such, it makes sense for the City to reap the benefits from development on both sides of a roadway that is costly both to construct and to maintain.

We have taken care in presenting these proposed land use designations to concentrate commercial and business park areas surrounding the intersection of Vinewood Ave / B St and Robin Ave as a logical extension of easterly land uses. Commercial uses at this intersection are within a one-mile walkable radius to proposed residential land uses shown in the attached Land Use Exhibit, as well as numerous existing neighborhoods. Four (4) densities of residential uses are proposed. Estate Residential is proposed in the northern portion, near the riverfront. Low-Density Residential is proposed to serve as a buffer to neighboring agricultural uses. A central core of Mixed Use, Medium-Density Residential and High-Density Residential is proposed and maintains an eastern edge that's adjacent to proposed commercial uses.

Parkland and Neighborhood Commercial are proposed on the western side, in close proximity to Low, Medium, and High Density Residential as well as Mixed Use. Additional Business Park is proposed just east of the Water Reclamation Facility. This contiguous core of mixed uses and higher densities neighboring adjacent commercial uses provides an ideal opportunity for developing bicycle and pedestrian connectivity that would mutually benefit Livingston's residents and its business community. Future development would also look for opportunities for agribusiness and educational partnerships, in addition to providing park areas at appropriate locations.

By amending the 2040 General Plan Update Study Area to include our proposed land use designations, the City includes these in the Land Use Element that will be prepared as part of the General Plan Update.

This means that these more likely land uses can be adequately evaluated for potential significant impacts to the environment during preparation of the 2040 General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report, the utility demands thereof considered in the subsequent infrastructure master plan updates, and the findings reported in the Municipal Service Review to be provided to Merced LAFCo. This paves the way for a SOI expansion and eventual annexation into the City of Livingston.

When the time comes for this area to annex into the City, we propose an Annexation and Development Agreement instead of a Specific Plan. Like similar Development Agreements, this document would provide appropriate development standards, establish financial responsibilities, and ensure timely and orderly development benefiting the Livingston community. This is the best way to handle a large area with multiple land uses, significant infrastructure needs, phased build-out, and high entitlement risk. A Development Agreement is a binding contract that locks in development rules, permitted uses, phasing, and entitlements over time, and runs with the land so as to be binding on future developers. This provides for the type of certainty that Livingston needs to attract new homes and businesses. While a Specific Plan sets standards, a Development Agreement is focused on a tailored outcome. Updates to a Specific Plan, not unlike a General Plan, are costly and time-consuming, and so can limit the City's flexibility to respond to any changes in community needs and markets over time. A Specific Plan might make sense if the whole area would become a business park, but we can't see that happening. 54 of 534

A reasonable and responsible approach would be taken with regard to phasing, with development to occur first on those parcels of land adjacent to or in close proximity to City utilities and existing development. From there, growth would be expected to occur naturally in response to market demand in a westerly and northwesterly direction from the intersection of Vinewood Ave/ B St and Robin Ave.

The Gallo family has a long and proud history in local agriculture and intends to continue farming our lands that are within the study area. Where our properties are located in the path of progress, the Gallo family has proven a reliable partner for the City of Livingston in delivering projects that meet the needs of the community. We look forward to continuing in this way.

Thank you for your time and consideration, as well as your continued service to the residents and business community of Livingston.

Respectfully,

SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH MINTIER HARNISH PLANNING

CONSULTANTS TO CONTINUE WORK ON THE LIVINGSTON GENERAL

PLAN UPDATE AND ACCOMPANYING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT AND AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 25-26 BUDGET BY

INCREASING THE APPROPRIATION LIMIT EXPENDITURES FOR THE

UPDATE EFFORT AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO

EXECUTE THE AMENDMENT
MEETING DATE: June 16, 2026
PREPARED BY: Miguel Galvez, Contract City Planner
REVIEWED BY: Jose Antonio Ramirez, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt City Council Resolution No. 2026-___, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Livingston approving an amendment to the professional services agreement with Mintier Harnish Planning Consultants to amend the term, budget, and scope to continue work on the Livingston General Plan Update and accompanying Environmental Impact Report and amending the fiscal year budget by increasing the appropriation limit expenditures for the update effort and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:

On October 9, 2019, the City issued a Request for Proposals from qualified firms for the preparation of a General Plan Update and accompanying Environmental Impact Report (EIR).

On January 21, 2020, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2020-07 authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional service agreement with Mintier Harnish Planning Consultants for the preparation of a general plan update and accompanying Environmental Impact Report (EIR).

The First Agreement expired.

The Parties entered into a Second Professional Services Agreement dated January 6, 2026, for the purpose of continuing to prepare the Livingston General Plan Update 2035 for a term of Two (2) years (anticipated end date on December 31, 2027) as approved by Council via Resolution No. 2026-07; and
On March 3, 2026, the City Council considered a request from Micah Gallo of Joseph E Gallo Livingston Ranches LP (JEG) to Amend the City’s Adopted 2040 General Plan Study Area Preferred Land Use Alternative Study Area and Provide Direction to Staff. Staff was directed to obtain a cost estimate from Mintier Harnish Planning Consultants to accommodate the request from 62 of 534
JEG.

An amendment to the Professional Services Agreement (Amendment #4) is now required to incorporate changes request by JEG and to continue the term of the Agreement to December 31, 2028, and to continue the scope of work from the previous agreement.

On November 24, 2025, Mintier Harnish submitted an updated Scope of Services and Work Plan for the City of Livingston General Plan Update to continue work on the Livingston General Plan update, See Attachment 2. The scope includes the following tasks:

A. JEG Request and associated budget of $24,600 consists of the following tasks:

Task 1: City Council Meeting Attendance - $2,300.00
Mintier Harnish will attend the June 16, 2026, City Council meeting to support City staff in presenting information and receiving direction regarding whether to incorporate the Gallo property into the General Plan Update and modify the preferred land use alternative and expand the General Plan study area. Two team members will participate virtually. Cost:
$2,300.

Task 2: Staff Working Sessions – $3,000.00
We will facilitate multiple working sessions with City staff to refine the vision for the Gallo property and establish a land use concept to be carried forward into modeling. These sessions will focus on developing a land use map and assumptions to support the build-out analysis. Cost: $3,000.

Task 3: Land Use Modeling and Build-Out Analysis Update - $8,000.00 Mintier Harnish will update and rerun the preferred land use alternative using Urban Footprint. This includes reconstruction of the base model to incorporate areas outside City limits, Sphere of Influence, and General Plan study area, as well as refinement of land use assumptions for the Gallo property based on City Council direction. We will revise the land use build-out memorandum summarizing assumptions and results for review by City staff, Planning Commission, and City Council. Cost: $8,000.

Task 4: Planning Commission Meeting Attendance - $3,600.00 Mintier Harnish will attend and facilitate a Planning Commission meeting to present the updated land use alternative and build-out findings. This includes preparation, travel, inperson facilitation, and presentation materials. Cost: $3,600 Task 5: City Council Meeting Attendance (Preferred Alternative) - $3,600.00 Mintier Harnish will attend and facilitate a City Council meeting to present the updated land use alternative and support Council direction on selection of a preferred alternative. This includes preparation, travel, and in-person facilitation. Cost: $3,600.

Task 6: Project Management - $2,600.00
Mintier Harnish is requesting additional project management budget to support contract amendments, invoicing, coordination with subconsultants, and ongoing administrative tasks associated with the expanded scope of work. Cost: $2,600.

Task 7: Direct Expenses - $1,500.00
Additional direct expenses are requested to cover travel, meeting attendance, and production of physical materials such as posters and presentation boards for public meetings. Cost: $1,500.

B. Additional Contingency Request - $17,000
63 of 534
The current contract has a contingency budget of $18,000, which was previously approved by City Council. Staff is proposing the addition of a $17,000 contingency for a total contingency budget of $35,000 to support the evolving nature of the General Plan Update. Throughout the project, additional topics and scope elements have emerged that were not defined at project initiation. We anticipate this will continue as the planning process advances and as new priorities are identified by City staff and City Council. These may include additional work related to topics such as health, infrastructure, and community services, among others.

To avoid repeated budget amendment requests and to allow the project to proceed efficiently, we recommend establishing a contingency budget that may be used for clearly scoped additional work as it arises. Use of these funds would require City Manager authorization prior to release. This approach provides the City with the flexibility to respond to unforeseen project needs while maintaining appropriate oversight and cost control. Proposed Contingency: $35,000.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:

Consideration of the amendment to the second Agreement is an administrative activity, which is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it does not involve a physical change in the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Authorize the Finance Department to make a supplemental appropriation not to exceed $41,600 to the General Plan Update Account 2007-108-4554.

NEXT STEPS:

Once approved, staff will execute an Amendment to the 2nd Professional Services Agreement.

ATTACHMENTS:

Exhibit A – An amendment to the Professional Services Agreement.

2. Budget Amendment Request – Livingston General Plan Update dated June 3, 2026, from Mintier Harnish.

Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City. 73 of 534
6 (i) Notice of cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.
(j) Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that City and its officers, officials, employees, and agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.
(k) Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing. (l) Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions. (m) Pass through clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review. (n) Agency’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation.
(o) Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by City.
(p) Timely notice of claims. Consultant shall give City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Consultant shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et. seq. and 910 et. seq., in order to pursue any legal action under this Agreement.

Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or 76 of 534
9 different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.

7.4 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term. This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Consultant, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Consultant, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Consultant reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to City, except that where termination is due to the fault of the City, the period of notice may be such shorter time as the Consultant may determine. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer.

In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.

7.5 Termination for Default of Consultant. If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.

A party’s consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the party’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the other party’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

To avoid repeated budget amendment requests a nd to a llow the project to proceed efficiently, we recommend establishing a contingency budget that may be used for clearly scoped additional work a s it arises.

1 STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Adopt Resolution Approving An Agreement With Unified Fleet Services For The Leasing, Upfitting, Graphics, And Installation Of Police Vehicles
MEETING DATE: June 16, 2026
PREPARED BY: John Ramirez, Interim Chief of Police
REVIEWED BY: José A. Ramírez, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing:

1. Approval of a three-year agreement with Unified Fleet Services for the leasing, upfitting, graphics, and installation of four police vehicles at an annual cost of $88,032.

BACKGROUND:

The Livingston Police Department continually evaluates its fleet to ensure officers are equipped with reliable, safe, and properly upfitted vehicles. Due to increasing maintenance costs and vehicle downtime associated with aging units, transitioning to a leased fleet model provides operational efficiency and cost predictability.

A lease program promises efficiency in the purchasing process, including the complete build-out of vehicles for emergency use, as well as minimizing the city’s involvement in the procurement and upfitting process for each new unit. Unified Fleet Services is uniquely positioned to negotiate high-volume purchases, including the ability to secure Ford Police interceptors, which is the preferred patrol police vehicle resulting in greater accessibility and efficiency for the city.

Each new vehicle will be ready for service upon delivery to the city, eliminating significant delays between taking delivery of a new stock vehicle and completing the upfitting required for service.

The city will continue to be required to provide radios, computers, and Axon Fleet patrol cameras for each patrol unit; however, the placement of this equipment will be expedited as all wiring and mounting requirements will be completed prior to delivery.

Throughout the lease program, Unified Fleet Services will monitor mileage on each unit and work with the city to proactively replace vehicles prior to exceeding the useful life, thereby ensuring optimal resale values. Sales proceeds from these vehicles will go back into the city lease program with Unified Fleet Services to offset costs of the program.

Unified Fleet Services is a participating vendor through National Purchasing Partners (NPPGov), a national cooperative procurement organization that provides publicly solicited and competitively awarded contracts to government agencies. The Livingston Police Department is an active member of NPPGov (Organization ID#M-5837470), allowing the city to utilize these cooperative purchasing agreements in compliance with procurement requirements. 96 of 534
2 DISCUSSION:

Based on departmental needs a quote was obtained from Unified Fleet Services for the following;
• Three (3) 2026 Ford Police Interceptor utility vehicles • One (1) 2026 Chevrolet Equinox LT (Detective vehicle) • Full upfitting with emergency lighting, communications equipment, and accessories • Professional Installation services
• Vehicle graphics and markings
The proposed agreement is structured as a three-year lease at a cost of $88,032 annually, which includes all vehicle equipment, installation, upfitting, and graphics.

Utilizing the NPPGov cooperative purchasing program eliminates the need for a separate formal bid process, as contracts have already been competitively solicited and awarded through lead public procurement standards.

This leasing model provides the following benefits;
• Reduced long-term maintenance costs
• Improved fleet liability and officer safety
• Standardization of police vehicles and equipment
• Predictable annual budgeting
• Regular fleet replacement cycle
FISCAL IMPACT:

The total cost of the agreement is $264,096 over three years, billed at $88,032 annually. The first year was budgeted for in the police department FY 26/27 operating budget and will come from account # 1100-102-4440 (Rents and Leases) for the amount not to exceed $90,000.

6 Additional Terms
• This is a proposal only and is not a commitment to finance. This proposal is subject to credit review and approval and proper execution of mutually acceptable documentation. • OBLIGOR'S TOTAL AMOUNT OF TAX-EXEMPT DEBT TO BE ISSUED IN THIS CALENDAR YEAR WILL NOT EXCEED THE $10,000,000 LIMIT, OR THE INTEREST RATE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
• Client-Owned Equity: UFS leases are structured so that the client retains 100% ownership from the start and retains 100% of the equity proceeds from sale. Vehicles are sold through high-efficiency channels to maximize value.
• Profit Return: All net proceeds from vehicle sales, after applicable closing costs, are returned to the client. This differs from traditional fleet services that retain resale profits.

Proceeds may be returned as a check to the client, credit on account or applied to existing lease principal balance.
• Early Termination: Clients may exit early simply by paying the stated payoff amount on the lease. No additional administrative fees apply. Traditional rule of 78s does not apply. • Liquidation Fees: The greater of $500 or 10% of the vehicle's sales value — will apply to cover resale costs. Liquidation fees apply if Unified liquidates the equipment and it is NOT replaced with new leased vehicles or equipment or if existing surplus equipment is liquidated by Unified. There is no obligation to use Unified to liquidate vehicles. • Renewal Options: Clients may renew, purchase the vehicle, or initiate a replacement lease. UFS can advise on the best timing based on projected equity and market trends. • Failure to consummate this transaction once credit approval is granted and the documents are drafted and delivered to Obligor may result in a documentation fee being assessed to the Obligor.
• This transaction must be credit approved, all documents properly executed and returned to Unified Fleet Services, LLC and their assignees, financial partners and related and the transaction funded on ALL proposals within 30 days of this proposal. If funding does not occur within that time-frame, or there is a change of circumstance which adversely affects the expectations, rights, or security of Obligee or its assignees, then Obligee or its assignees reserve the right to adjust and determine a new interest rate factor and payment amount, or withdraw this proposal in its entirety. Should there be a significant change in market rates at any time prior to funding of the transaction, Unified Fleet Services, LLC and their assignees and partners reserves the right to adjust the Interest Rate quoted above.
• This transaction must be designated as tax-exempt under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended.
