SUBJECT: Merced Multijurisdictional Local Roadway Safety Plan Prepared by Merced County Association of Governments
Recommendation:
That the City Council adopt a Resolution adopting the Merced Multijurisdictional Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP).
Background:
In 2024, the Merced County Association of Governments (MCAG) commissioned a study to review road safety in six Merced County cities. The City of Los Banos selected to be part of the study. The study looked at the transportation systems within the City with the goal of identifying areas of safety concern and methods to reduce accidents and injuries.
The end product of the study was the final Merced Multijurisdictional Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP). The link to view the entire LRSP report can be found here:
https://www.mcagov.org/397 /Multijurisdictional-Local-Roadway-Safety Discussion:
The preparation of the LRSP was a collaborative effort between the participating cities, a diverse stakeholder working group, and input from the public. The LRSP outlines targeted strategies to reduce traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries for all road users (vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians) through a proactive, data-driven approach.
An important outcome of the LRSP is a guideline of safety enhancement projects for the City to consider during budget development, and its adoption is a critical component for ITEM 6F
53 the City to be eligible for funding opportunities under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Program and the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP).
The report identified improvements in the downtown area along the 6th St and K St corridors, consideration of a roundabout at Overland and Stonewood, and two projects on Mercey Springs Rd at the intersections of Dove St and Willmott Ave. City staff is reviewing the identified downtown safety measures and is currently in discussions with Caltrans on the improvements identified on Mercey Springs Rd.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no Fiscal Impact associated with the adoption of the recommended Resolution.
By adopting the LRSP, the City becomes eligible to apply for grant funding under various State funding opportunities.

57 Chapter 2 of Caltrans' Local Roadway Safety
Manual (LRSM) instructs safety practitioners to
"consider a wide range of data sources to get
an overall picture of the safety needs." To this
end, this Local Roadway Safety Plan is datadriven and synthesizes findings from collison records alongside input from key stakeholders, a
technical advisory group, and staff.
Collision records on roadways in Los Banos from
2015 to 2022 were investigated to describe
historic collision trends and identify high-risk
locations. This information acts as a primary
resource for this Plan, providing the underlying
data to support key analyses.
The data-driven process for the creation of
this Plan includes:
• Examination of Collision Trends
Review of collision statistics to evaluate
when, where, and why collisions occur and
who is involved .
• Development of a High-Injury Network
Identification of roadways where most
injury collisions are concentrated for
targeted intervention.
• Development of Collision Profiles of
Emphasis
Identification of the most prevalent
collision types and contexts based on a
combination of collision factors.
• Creation of a Countermeasure Toolbox
Identification of effective, nationally
proven countermeasures applicable to
different collision profiles.
• Identification of Priority Project Locations
Identification of locations suitable for
project implementation based on collision
density and community verification.
The following section presents findings from
the first of these stages of data analysis,
identifying collision patterns and trends.
58 59
Collisions by Year and by Mode
The table below provides a summary
of the number of collisions in Los
Banos by mode and severity within the
dataset, which includes all collisions that
resulted in injury or fatality. From 2015
to 2022, there were a total of 1,143
injury collisions, of which 128 were KSI
collisions: collisions where someone was
killed or ~everely injured.
Collision Summary Total KSI
Total 1,143 128
Bicycle 73 10
Pedestrian 105 35
Figures 5.1 and 5.2 show the temporal
trends of collisions in Los Banos. As
shown, the annual number of injury
collisions in Los Banos has been on
a general upward trajectory through
the study period. The number of KSI
collisions per year over the study period
saw a significant increase in 2018, and
has plateaued in the years since.
People walking or biking are particularly
vulnerable in the event of a collision,
as they lack the protection afforded to
them by being inside a motor vehicle.
As a result, collisions involving people
walking or biking are more likely to
result in injury and fatality. As shown in
Figure 5.3, people walking and biking are
involved in 16% of all injury collisions,
but 36% of KSI collisions.
243
60 244
Collisions by Collision Type
Figure 5.4 illustrates the share of collisions in
the study period that fall into each collision
type. As shown, the most common collision
types across all injury collisions in Los Banos
are broadside collisions and rear-end collisions
at 32% each. However, KSI collisions show
a different breakdown. Vehicle-pedestrian
collisions are the most common, at 26%,
followed by broadside collisions at 23%, and
rear-end collisions at 14%.
This illustrates the disproportionate impact
in severity that collision type can play. For
example, while rear-ends account for a large
share of overall collisions, they are generally
less likely to result in fatalities and severe
injuries. By contrast, broadsides are more
represented amongst KSI collisions, as they
typically involve more kinetic energy and result
in more serious collision outcomes.
This also further illustrates the significantly
disproportionate impact people walking
face in the event of a collision, as vehiclepedestrian collisions are significantly overrepresented in the KSI collision record.
Collisions by Primary Collision Factor
Figure 5.5 illustrates the share of collisions in
the study period that are classified under each
Primary Collision Factor (PCF). PCFs are cited
by the responding officer and are based on
that person's judgment of what contributed to
the collision. It is important to note that PCFs
do not include contextual information about
the design aspects of the collision location
that could have been primary or secondary
contributors to a collision.
In Los Banos, the most common PCFs are
Unsafe Speed at 28% of collisions, Vehicle
Right of Way Violations at 25%, and Improper
Turning at 15%.
The most common PCFs for KSI collisions are
Pedestrian-Related at 24%, Improper Turning
and Unsafe Speed at 16% each, and Vehicle
61 62
246
Collisions by Lighting Conditions
Figure 5.6 illustrates the share of collisions
in the study period that occur at night*.
As shown, nighttime collisions are
overrepresented among KSI collisions. While
26% of all injury collisions occurred at night
where streetlights were present and a further
4% occurred where streetlights were not
present or present but not functioning, those
percentages jump to 39% and 10% for KSI
collisions, respectively.
Collisions that occur during nighttime also
disproportionately affect people walking. 39%
of pedestrian injury collisions occurred at
night where streetlights were present and a
further 10% occurred where streetlights were
not present or present but not functioning,
the same proportions as overall KSI collisions.
The percentages for pedestrian KSI collisions
are higher still, at 60% and 20%, respectively.
The concern around lighting is especially
relevant given Los Banos' small-town context
and rural surroundings. There continues to
be locations without functional street lighting
in the City, and collisions at those locations
are well-represented in the KSI collision
record. Even where streetlights were present,
the quality of the lighting can vary widely.
Factors that may contribute to the quality of
streetlights include lights being insufficiently
bright, placed too widely apart, or poor quality
of lighting for people walking on the sidewalk,
as streetlights are often designed primarily for
vehicles in travel lanes.
* Nighttime collisions are defined as those collisions
whose lighting information is not reported as "daylight".
Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
Figure 5.7 illustrates the share of collisions of
various types in the study period that involved
at least one party driving under the influence
(DUI). Drugs or alcohol increase the likelihood
of increased crash severity. As shown, the
number of DUI collisions are overrepresented
amongst KSI collisions. While 8% of all injury
collisions involve drugs or alcohol in Los Banos,
19% of KSI collisions do.
These percentages reflect the portion of
collisions involving one or more parties
determined to be under the influence of drugs
or alcohol. Driving under the influence may
not always be listed as the primary collision
factor even if a driver is found to be under the
influence.
63 64
Collisions by Pedestrian Location
Figure 5.8 illustrates for pedestrian-involved
collisions the location of the pedestrian(s)
at the time of collision. The most common
location for pedestrians at the time of collision
is crossing the street, whether at a marked
crosswalk (41%) or not (30%). This is followed
by walking in or along the shoulder of the
roadway, at 18%. These percentages are
mirrored for pedestrian KSI collisions, with
crossing not at a crosswalk being the most
common location at 43%, followed by walking
in or along the shoulder of the roadway at
26%, and crossing at crosswalks at 23%.
Furthermore, 8% of pedestrian-involved
collisions and 6% of pedestrian-involved KSI
collisions occurred with the pedestrian(s) not
on the roadway at all.
This data points to the importance of ensuring
that existing crosswalks are safe and properly
protect users, and that pedestrian desire lines
currently unserved by sidewalks and existing
crosswalks are properly served.
High Injury Network
From the collision data, a High Injury Network
was developed to identify the roadways in Los
Banos with the highest levels of injury collisions,
as shown on Figure 5.9.
The High Injury Network consists of just 8% of
the roadway network in Los Banos, but is the
site of the vast majority of injury collisions.
1,143 collisions occurred during the study
period. Of these, 763, or 67%, were located
along the network. 128 of these study period
collisions were KS ls, of which 85, or 66%, were
located along the network.

Equity Considerations
Both Merced County and the larger Central
Valley region have historically been subject
to underinvestment and marginalization. As
a result, most of the region, including most
areas within the six cities covered by this
Plan, are identified as disadvantaged by the
various criteria used by the state and Federal
governments.
The federal government has introduced
a number of tools used to identify
disadvantaged communities. In particular, two
of these, the Climate and Economic Justice
Screening Tool (CEJST) and the Equitable
Transportation Communities (ETC) Explorer,
are of particular note, as they see extensive
use by the United States Department of
Transportation (USDOT) in delineating
disadvantaged areas, especially as part of
grant funding opportunities.
Climate and Economic Justice
Screening Tool (CEJST)
The Climate and Economic Justice Screening
Tool (CEJST) is maintained by the Federal
Council on Environmental Quality and used
by many Federal programs as a means of
identifying disadvantaged communities.
Census tracts are screened based on a variety
of factors, including climate, energy, health,
housing, transportation, legacy pollution,
waste, and workforce development.
Equitable Transportation
Communities (ETC) Explorer
USDOT created Equitable Transportation
Communities (ETC) Explorer as part of its
Justice40 initiative to complement the
CEJST by providing additional insight into
transportation factors specifically. The ETC
Explorer is meant to capture the cumulative
burden of underinvestment in transportation
in a community.
Figure 5.10 shows areas in Los Banos
identified as disadvantaged under these
two criterion. As shown, almost the entirety
of Los Banos, as well as all surrounding
unincorporated areas, is identified as
disadvantaged by the CEJST, with the singular
exception of an area in the southwest of
the city, situated west of Mercey Springs
Road, between Pacheco Boulevard and
Pioneer Road. In addition, almost all of the
built-up areas of Los Banos outside of the
aforementioned area between Pacheco
Boulevard and Pioneer Road are identified as
disadvantaged by the ETC Explorer as well.
The vast majority of collisions in Los Banos
occur within these disadvantaged areas,
including 96% of all injury collisions and 98%
of all KSI collisions.

Through a systemic analysis of collision
records, collision profiles were identified
to represent the most significant patterns
behind injury collisions - and especially KSI
collisions - in the region. Seven such profiles,
identified with the letters "A" through "G"
were identified across the region, with each
one applicable to one, several, or all of the
communities covered by this LRSP.
Los Banos is covered by six of these profiles:
A. Driving Under The Influence
B. Dark Conditions
C. Side Street Stop-Controlled Intersections
D. Excessive Roadway and Lane
Widths Leading To Speeding
E. Driveway Clusters on Arterials
F. Non-Standard Intersection Geometry
The following pages contain cutsheets that
present each collision profile, along with the
following information:
• Description and associated information
about each profile
• Number of collisions associated, including
number of KSI collisions among those
(note that profiles are not mutually
exclusive; collisions can fall under multiple
profiles, and totals will exceed 100%)
• A map of collision locations
Engineering countermeasures that can
potentially address these collisions are also
presented with each profile. The full suite of
engineering countermeasures can be found in
Chapter 3 of Volume I.
70 PROFILE A II Driving Under The Influence
Driving under the influence is a significant
contributor to injury collisions, especially and
disproportionately to collisions that cause
someone to be killed or severely injured (KSI).
DUls are clustered around the weekend and
around nighttime. Across the region, 54% of
all DUI collisions occurred on Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday, and 65% occurred in the dark.
Injury KSls ~ 't,

{9%) (20%) (3%) (14%)
However, it is important to note that a
substantial number of DUI collisions occurred
outside these time periods as well.
Non-engineering interventions will need to
be the primary means of addressing these
challenges, but may be supplemented with
the listed engineering countermeasures that
aim to make roadway designs more forgiving
in general.

Dark Conditions
A substantial number of collisions are
occurring in the nighttime across the region.
Based on the percentage of nighttime
collisions, meaningful progress toward
reducing collisions will require improvements
that enhance nighttime visibility such as
lighting, retroreflective signage, and sightline
improvements.

II Side Stre~t Stop-Controlled Intersections
Similar to permissive left-turn operations,
the question of who has right-of-way can
be confusing for drivers in side street
stop-controlled intersections. Accurately
judging and using a gap in traffic can also be
challenging. Similar to permissive left-turn
operations, high traffic volumes, high speeds,
and limited visibility due to roadway width
on the major crossing are factors that also
contribute to risk at these locations.
Side street stop-controlled intersections often
are accompanied by either an uncontrolled
crossing of the major roadway or no crossing
altogether. A long series of side street stopcontrolled intersections will thus likely create Injury KSls ~ j:,
338 37 28 30
{30%} {50%} {8%} {9%}
long stretches of the major roadway without
protected crossings for people walking, biking
or otherwise needing to cross the major street.
Los Banos saw a total of 338 collisions at sidestreet stop-controlled intersections, accounting for nearly 30% of all injury crashes within the
city. Concentrations of such incidents were at
major arteries such as I Street and Pacheco
Boulevard, but also many of the smaller
crosstown collector routes in the city. Of the
collisions, 37 were KSls and 58 involved bicycles
or pedestrians. The top PCFs were vehicle rightof-way violations, accounting for 39% of all such collisions, followed by speeding at 21% and
improper turning at 12%.

The region's agricultural heritage has resulted
in many roadways that are designed to be
wide enough to accommodate larger vehicles,
such as trucks and farm equipment. However,
many of these design features are no longer
necessary as many areas become more
residential or retail-oriented in character.
Many roadways around the region feature
more vehicle travel lanes than their demand
necessitates, which can influence driver
behavior towards higher speeds. Moreover,
many of the region's roadways feature travel
lanes that are wider (often significantly so)
than the maximum of 11ft recommended by

Caltrans, which is another major contributor to
speeding behavior. High speeds on roadways
not only pose risks for vehicles, but also make
them less comfortable to walk or ride along and
to cross for bicyclists and pedestrians.
Speeding is a major contributor to injury
collisions in the region. It is cited as the primary
collision factor for nearly a quarter of all injury
collisions in the study area, as well as 14% of all
KSI collisions. It is also important to note that
speeding can also be a factor in other collisions
where it is not cited as the primary collision
factor, and that the number of speeding-related
collisions in the region is likely higher.

Los Banos features many instances of the land
use typology of suburban, parking-fronted
shopping centers along high-speed, multilane arterials that feature frequent driveway ingresses and egresses. Frequent interactions
between fast-moving arterial traffic with
slow traffic turning from or to driveways is a
significant risk factor, with left turns to or from
such driveways being particularly conflictprone. Higher densities of these driveways add additional complexity and risk.
These contexts are particularly problematic
for people walking and biking, who must also
interact with frequent driveway crossings
while traveling on sidewalks or bike facilities
in such areas. These areas are also likely to
feature higher volumes of walking and biking,

Intersection Geometry
Los Banos features a number of intersections
with more than four legs and/or roadways
intersecting at non-right angles, which
contributes to limited visibility, especially for
turning traffic. Moreover, these intersections
tend to be large by virtue of their geometry,
which lengthens crossing distances and makes
them especially difficult to navigate for people
biking and walking. They also can feature slip
lanes for certain turning movements that allow
free flow turning traffic to proceed at higher
speeds, which poses additional risk for people
walking and biking as well conflicting traffic.

In Los Banos, prominent examples of such
intersections include, among others, that of
6th Street and Pacheco Boulevard; as well as
intersections along I Street between Illinois
Street and K Street, where it curves. There
are a total of 48 collisions in Los Banos at
intersections with non-standard geometries, of
which 4 are KSI collisions and 14 involve bikes
and pedestrians. Vehicle right-of-way violations
are the top PCF, followed by speeding and
improper turning.

Priority .Locations
an s
A set of locations to prioritize safety
improvements were identified based on
collision history and alignment with collision
profiles. Of the locations meeting these criteria
in Los Banos that saw the highest number of
injury and KSI collisions, the lion's share are
along Pacheco Boulevard, a Caltrans facility
that carries SR 33 and SR 152. Nine of the top
ten and sixteen of the top twenty locations
were located along Pacheco Boulevard. Due
to the length of the corridor; the magnitude
of the collision numbers, complexities arising
from the corridor's dual role as both one of
Los Banos' main commercial corridors and
a major state highway, and the necessity for
extensive coordination with Caltrans to deliver
safety improvements on a Caltrans facility, it is
recommended that safety improvements along
Pacheco Boulevard be implemented in the longterm, pending further corridor-specific study.
The table below lists additional locations
around Los Banos not along Pacheco Boulevard
that meet these criteria. One such location, the
intersection of SR 165 with Dove Street, has
safety improvements under design ,as of the
writing of this LRSP. The remaining locations
can be addressed in the medium- to longterm, within the next 5-15 years, subject to further study, the availability of funding, and
coordination with Caltrans. The following pages
present two project concepts that demonstrate
how the principles outlined in this LRSP can be
implemented to address identified safety risk
factors: one for the intersection of K Street and
6th Street, and another for the intersection of
Stonewood Drive and Overland Avenue. Both
concepts extend beyond these intersections
to proactively address additional safety risks at
surrounding locations.

.,...~~.II
87 The intersection serves as the southern gateway
for downtown Los Banos' main commercial
corridor along 6th Street; the east leg of K Street
also serves Westside Union Elementary School.
The intersection has a large footprint - both of
the intersecting roadways are over 50ft wide
despite the two roadways only having one lane
in each direction. 6th Street is wide enough to
support angled parking on both sides of the
street, and K Street, despite not having angled
parking, is of similar width. These roadway cross~
sections lead to impaired visibility of pedestrians
on sidewalks and long crossing distances - these
characteristics can increase the likelihood of
collisions particularly for people walking and
biking. The wide roadways are also conducive
to high vehicle speeds - also a consideration
for this particular location, as 6th Street is the
main route traffic from Pacheco Boulevard, the
arterial state highway that carries both local and
long-distance traffic through the city, uses to
reach downtown. This intersection lies less than a
quarter-mile north of Pacheco Boulevard, where
the posted speed limit is 35 MPH. Currently, 6th
Street has few characteristics that would cue
motorists to the need to slow their speeds to the
posted speed of 25 MPH as they transition from
a highway context to a downtown main street.
Finally, there are numerous driveway ingresses
and egresses within close proximity of this
intersection, including one on the west leg of K
Street just 20 feet from the intersection.
Curb extensions at the intersections that limits
the cross-sections to two lanes on both roadways
can improve visibility, reduce pedestrian
crossing distances, and help slow traffic
coming from Pacheco Boulevard by providing
a visual cue of the transition to a downtown
context. Implementing a mini roundabout or
neighborhood traffic circle is an alternative
option to curb extensions. Those would also help
manage vehicle speeds and would eliminate
severe turning conflicts. The driveway along the
west leg of K Street closest to the intersection can
be targeted for closure, as it is currently too close
to the intersection, and there is another driveway
further west providing the same access.
If the intersection is maintained as a signal
control, the signal at the intersection could
be mounted on a mast arm and be fitted with
retroflective plates to improve visibility. Review
of the pedestrian walk times to confirm they
are consistent with CA MUTCD requirements
and provide adequate crossing times. A leading
pedestrian interval could be implemented
to increase pedestrian visibility, especially
to turning vehicles. Advanced stop bars and
upgrading the crosswalk to a high-visibility or
stamped design can further increase visibility.
Improvements can be made to roadways
around the intersection and downtown more
broadly as well. K Street from 5th Street to 7th
Street can be improved by adding centerline
and edgeline pavement markings throughout
(as opposed to only at intersections) to
delineate the travel lanes and visually narrow
the roadway. Bike lanes could be added using
the excess lane width as well. The section
between 6th and 7th Streets can also be wide
enough to be restriped to create an additional,
separated eastbound lane to serve pick-up and
drop-off traffic for Westside Union Elementary
School, pending study and support from school
officials. At intersections, crosswalks can be
upgraded with high-visibility markings and
advanced stop bars to improve visibility, as well
as by adding pedestrian refuge islands that
reduce crossing distances for pedestrians, and
also slow vehicle speeds.
Similar treatments, including painted
centerlines and edgelines, high-visibility
crosswalks, advanced stop bars, and pedestrian
refuge islands, can also be applied to 5th
Street between M Street and H Street, and
to 6th Street between Pacheco Boulevard
and H Street. Additionally, upgrading the two
crosswalks across 6th Street between Pacheco
Boulevard and K Street (at M Street and an
alleyway, respectively) to raised crosswalks and
adding accompanying curb extensions that
are as deep as the angled on-street parking
can further slow vehicles on 6th Street as they
approach downtown.

89 This intersection between Overland Avenue
and Stonewood Drive serves two well-used
crosstown routes. Both roadways carry
one through lane, one parking lane, and a
Class II bike lane in each direction; Overland
Avenue also features left-turn pockets at the
intersection, while Stonewood Drive features
a planted center median. The intersection,
which features all-way stop-control, has a large
cross-section disproportionate with the number
of lanes it serves, which reduces visibility for
vehicles and lengthens crossing distances.
The intersection itself is sufficiently large to
convert to roundabout operations, which will
also be operationally more efficient than the
current all-way stop-controlled operations. This
will also create median pedestrian refuges at
the entrances to the roundabout, which will
reduce the crossing distance exposure.
While this intersection was chosen due to
its high number of collision records, these
recommendations can be applied systemically
to the entire Stonewood Drive corridor, which
features the same design issues surrounding
lanes wider than the recommended 12 ft and
intersections with long crossing distances. The
corridor can be improved by restriping to widen
the existing bike lanes, while also upgrade them
to Class 11B buffered bike lanes by providing a
painted buffer. These improvements can be
made by simply narrowing the existing travel
lane and without removing the parking lane.
Doing so would create a brand-new Class 11B
buffered bike lane corridor without changing
parking or vehicular throughput. Narrowing
the vehicular lanes can also reduce vehicular
speeds through the corridor. Furthermore, for
the segment of the corridor north of Overland
Avenue where the median is present, crossing
distances can be shortened for crosswalk legs
across Stonewood Drive by creating median
pedestrian refuges by extending the nose of the
medians. In addition, curb extensions at the
corners of the intersections that are as deep
as the parking lane can also reduce crossing
distances and improve visibility.

Agenda Staff Report
Mayor and Council Members
Lucy Mallonee, City Clerk ~ William A Vaughn, City Attorney February 19, 2025
SUBJECT: Options for Calling a Special Election to Fill the Vacancy Created by Councilmember Lambert's Resignation
TYPE OF REPORT: Regular Agenda
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Adopt a resolution calling a special election to fill the vacancy left by Councilmember Lambert's resignation on January 15, 2025, be conducted either on August 26, 2025, solely by mail or on November 4, 2025, with mail and in-person options.
Background:
On January 15, 2025, Councilmember Lambert resigned from the Council, effective immediately. Under the Government Code, the Council has sixty days to direct the manner by which the vacancy is to be filled. The deadline for the Council to take action to fill the vacancy in District 1 is March 16, 2025. The Council discussed options for filling the vacancy at its meeting on February 5, 2025, and directed staff to present alternative resolutions for calling a special election on either August 26 or November 4 for further discussion and decision at this meeting.
Discussion:
In most circumstances, the Council has the option of appointing a new councilmember to fill the vacancy or calling a special election. Cal. Govt. Code § 36512(b). However, the Government Code provides, "an appointment shall not be made to fill a vacancy on 1 ITEM 8
93 a city council if the appointment would result in a majority of the members serving on the council having been appointed." Id. at subd. (d)(1). In such a circumstance, the Council must call a special election "to be held on the next regularly established election date not less than 114 days after the call." Id. at subd. (d)(2).
Currently, the two councilmembers representing Districts 2 and 3 hold their seats by means of appointment to fill vacancies resulting from the recall elections in November.
Appointment to fill Mr. Lambert's vacancy would result in a majority of the Councilmembers being appointed, so a special election is required. However, there are options regarding the timing and conduct of such elections, and staff seeks direction from the Council.
The next "regularly established election date" not less than 114 days from today is November 4, 2025. Cal. Elec. Code § 1 000(e). However, because Los Banos has a population of less than 100,000, it also has the option of calling an all-mail ballot special election on August 26, 2025, pursuant to Elections Code§§ 1500(b) and 4004.
An election conducted at the November date would be a traditional combination of mail and in-person voting.
Staff therefore recommends that the Council adopt a resolution ordering the special election to be held in August by mail or in November. A draft resolution for each date is attached hereto·as Exhibits A (August 26) and B (November 5).
Fiscal Impact:
There will be a cost associated with the conduct of the special election, as the City is required to reimburse the County for the costs of conducting the election. Based on the cost estimates provided by Merced County, the estimated costs of conducting a mail ballot election in August would be $45,545.00, and the estimated costs of conducting an election in November would be $76,315.00.

SUBJECT: Central California Alliance for Health (CCAH) Award Agreement and Budget Amendment
Recommendation:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the Central California Alliance for Health Agreement and approve a budget amendment both subject further to such minor, conforming and clarifying changes consistent with the terms thereof and as may be approved by the City Manager, or Designee in consultation with the City Attorney prior to execution.
Background:
On July 31, 2024, the Central California Alliance for Health awarded the City of Los Banos funds in the amount of $2,500,00.00 in support of the Encampment Resolution Fund (ERF) Permanent Supportive Housing Project consisting of fifty (50) units of affordable housing, supportive services, operating subsidies, and administrative costs.
The CCAH 'funds will expand the project by adding four (4) units of two (2) bedrooms with one (1) bathroom. And, four (4) units of three (3) bedrooms with one (1) bathroom for households/families, taking the total project to at least fifty-eight (58) units. 1 ITEM 9
102
This grant represents a significant opportunity to expand our ongoing efforts and will allow the City to increase Permanent Supportive Housing while enhancing services provided to vulnerable populations.
The CCAH is a nonprofit, public, Medi-Cal managed care health plan that serves residents in several counties in Central California, including Santa Cruz, Monterey, and Merced. The Alliance operates as a regional, locally governed health plan with the mission of improving access to quality health care for its members, who are primarily low-income individuals and families eligible for Medi-Cal.
Through grants and partnerships, CCAH collaborates on projects aimed at improving public health outcomes in underserved communities, such as housing initiatives for homeless or at-risk populations.

The City of Los Banos Housing Division is responsible for developing a City-Wide system response to homelessness. The Housing Division offers Outreach and Engagement, Case Management, Housing Navigation, and connection to services, income, benefits, and health care. The Housing Division also identifies opportunities for grant funds supportive of the City's commitment to solve homelessness by developing Affordable Permanent Supportive Housing designated for People Experiencing Homelessness.
According to the Merced City and County Continuum of Care Point in Time Count, as of January 2024, there were one-hundred and forty-nine (149) People Experiencing Homelessness in the City of Los Banos. Twenty-Eight (28) of those individuals were recorded as sheltered in the City's emergency shelter system ("Bridge Homes") and other shelter beds in local area motels.
The reason it is vital to develop Affordable Housing in addition to offering services to Unhoused Community Members is there has been great difficulty in placing Unhoused Community Members in the very few rental units available in Merced County even when they have employment income, retirement benefits or other financial means. Due to lack of affordable housing and the competition with community members who have favorable rental and income history, our Unhoused Community Member's rental applications are usually denied. Without rental units available to our Unhoused Community Members, the people will remain in encampments, in cars, and on the streets.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no General Fund fiscal impact.
The fiscal impact would be an increase to a revenue account dedicated to the CCAH grant dollars in fiscal years 2024/2025 and potentially 2025/2026 for a total of 2 103
104
$2,500,00.00. An associated expenditure account would be designated for years 2024/2025 and potentially 2025/2026 for a total of $2,500,000.00.

Whereas, the Alliance may award Alliance Housing Fund funds to Alliance contracted providers and non-contracted organizations;
Whereas, the Alliance has agreed to award Partner Alliance Housing Fund funds, contingent upon Partner's performance as set forth herein, to be used by Partner for the purpose of performing the project described in the Statement of Work attached as Exhibit 1 (the "Project") and Partner desires to receive Alliance Housing Fund funds from the Alliance for performing the Project; Now Therefore, the Alliance and Partner agree that all funds awarded to Partner under the Alliance Housing Fund shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
1. Alliance Housing Fund Background. The Alliance established the Alliance Housing Fund to fund projects in the areas of permanent housing, recuperative care, and short-term post-hospitalization housing. The Alliance earned funds from the Housing and Homelessness Incentive Payment Program ("HHIP"), a voluntary incentive program that enabled Medi-Cal managed care plans ("MCPs") to earn incentive funds for making progress in addressing homelessness and housing insecurity as social determinants of health. The Alliance shall utilize HHIP funds earned by the Alliance to fund the Alliance Housing Fund in a manner consistent with the terms of HHIP, any terms imposed as a condition of federal approval of HHIP, and any Department of Health Care Services ("DHCS") guidance related to HHIP. The Alliance may also utilize funds from the Alliance's Medi-Cal Capacity Grant Program ("MCGP") to fund the Alliance Housing Fund as the Alliance deems appropriate. The Partner submitted a letter of intent to the Alliance containing Partner's gaps and needs information ("Letter of Intent"), which the Alliance relied upon in determining the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to the terms of the Statement of Work attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 1 and hereby Letter of Agreement: Alliance Housing Fund
Last revised O 1/21/25 Page 1 of28
109
incorporated by reference ("SOW"). The actual amount of the funds awarded to Partner ("Award") shall be determined by and contingent upon Partner's completion of the Project as outlined in the SOW.
2. Statement of Work. Subject to the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement, the Alliance agrees to provide the Award to Partner for completing the Project described in the SOW. Partner represents and warrants to the Alliance that: (i) Partner's performance under this Agreement shall be conducted with due diligence and in a competent, efficient, timely manner, and in full compliance with the highest professional standards of practice in the industry; (ii) if Partner's work requires any licenses, Partner has, or will have prior to commencement, obtained all such licenses and all such licenses shall be in full force and effect during the Funding Term; (iii) the Project, when completed, will be in conformity with all of the requirements set forth in this Agreement and will be free of material errors or defects.
3. Liaisons. The Alliance and Partner will each designate a liaison(s) to serve as a point of contact for activities performed related to this Agreement ( each, a "Liaison") as set forth in the applicable SOW.
4. Utilization and Amount of Award. The amount of the Maximum Award shall be set forth in the SOW reflects the Project funding needs described in Partner's Letter of Intent. Partner acknowledges and agrees that the actual Award shall be granted in consideration of and on condition that Partner expends Award funds only for the purpose of performing its obligations as set forth in this Agreement. To the extent that Partner anticipates it will be unable to utilize or does not actually utilize any portion of the Award funds to perform the Project in conformance with the terms of this Agreement, the SOW, and the Project Plan, Partner shall notify the Alliance and return any such Award funds.
Partner agrees to assume any obligation to furnish any additional funds that may be necessary to complete and maintain the Project described in this Agreement and the SOW.
All costs accrued prior to the Effective Date are not eligible for reimbursement unless specifically provided for in the terms of the SOW.
5. Payment Schedule. The schedule for the payment of the Award is set forth in the sow.
6. Payment Documentation. The timing, scope, and format of the documentation that Partner shall provide to the Alliance to request funds is set forth in the SOW. The Alliance reserves the right to request additional documentation as it deems necessary to validate the use of Award funds, either before or after use by Partner, and shall have the right at its sole discretion to withhold any payment pending any questions that it may have regarding the use of funds. The Alliance reserves the right to enter into a separate agreement with a third party to ensure that the covenants of this Agreement are met by the Partner, including but not limited to those of the SOW.
7. Recoupment. Should Partner only partially achieve certain Milestones despite Partner's good faith attempt to complete the Milestones in their entirety, the Alliance may assess whether and to what extent partial payment is appropriate. If the Alliance detennines Letter of Agreement: Alliance Housing Fund
Last revised O 1/21/25 Page 2 of28
110
that the Partner's partial Milestone achievement effectively supports Project goals, then the Alliance may, at its sole discretion, award partial payment in an amount the Alliance deems appropriate for the Partner's contribution to the Project goals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Alliance shall be under no obligation to award partial payments for incomplete Milestones. It is at the Alliance's sole discretion to determine if Partner must return part or all of any Award payment for partially-completed Project Milestones. Partner agrees to return any Award payments that Partner already received under this Agreement for incomplete Milestones as the Alliance may direct, even if such funds were properly used.
8. Disputed Amounts. The Alliance shall be permitted to withhold payment of any amounts for which the Alliance, in good faith, disputes or contests, including reducing such payment amounts by a recoupment consistent with the above terms. In the event of a good faith dispute pursuant to which the Alliance believes it is entitled to withhold or recoup payments, the Alliance may withhold payment of the disputed amount provided that, within thirty (30) calendar days following the Alliance's receipt of the progress or final report which initiates the interim or final payment and which the Alliance in good faith deems to be in dispute, the Alliance shall notify Partner in writing with a detailed explanation stating the factual basis for the Alliance's withholding or recoupment of payment. To contest such withheld amounts, Partner must, within ten (10) calendar days following receipt of the Alliance's notice of disputed amounts, respond to the Alliance in writing with a detailed explanation stating the factual basis, if any, for Partner, in good faith, demanding payment on any amount in dispute. Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute before pursuing other available legal remedies.
9. Permissible Use of Funds. Award funds may only be used for the purpose of paying expenses that are actually incurred by Partner in carrying out the SOW and Project Plan during the 39-month period for which the Award has been provided, or during such other period of time as the Alliance may explicitly agree to in this Agreement or the final approved Project Plan. Expenses that may be funded by Alliance Housing Fund funds are those described in the final approved Project Plan. Partner is responsible for ensuring that actual expenditures are for eligible Project costs.
a. Funds may be used for capital expenditures only, which can include equipment and furnishings that are necessary for the delivery of care or equipment essential to the operation of the facility. However, funds cannot be used for the following purposes, and any amounts budgeted for such unapproved uses will be deducted from payment amounts awarded hereunder:
1. The A ward cannot be used for rental subsidies, operating costs, or services.
11. No part of the Award may be used to fund administrative services or other operating expenses of the Partner, regardless of whether such administrative services or other operating expenses would be utilized to support the completion of the Project.

Last revised O 1/21/25 Page 3 of28
111
111. No part of the Award may be used to fund expenses related to religious activities, lobbying, or political action by the Partner. 1v. Unless specifically provided for in the terms of the approved Project Plan or SOW, in the event that the Award provides funding for a project that was already in progress on the Effective Date, no part of the Award maybe used to fund costs accrued for activities completed or costs incurred prior to the Effective Date.
v. Partner may not use Award funds to cover expenditures that have already been funded through other sources.
v1. All Project-related costs are site-specific, and must relate to, occur, or be used at the single proposed site that is contained in the Agreement.
10. Reporting. Partner shall provide the Alliance with two progress reports due upon completion of each Milestone phase as indicated in the Payment Schedule set forth in the SOW. Partner shall also provide a final report due one (1) calendar year from the Phase Three Completion Date, but in any event no later than the end of the Funding Term. The reporting templates will be provided by the Alliance and available on the Alliance's online incentives portal. Partner will submit the progress and final reports through the Alliance's online incentives portal. Failure to submit these report(s) will be considered a material breach of this Agreement, may delay interim or final payments of the Award and may disqualify Partner from receiving future funding from the Alliance.
11. Evaluation and Monitoring. The Alliance may monitor and conduct evaluation of operations under this Agreement. This may include a visit from Alliance staff to observe the Partner's operations related to the Project and the Award, discuss the Project and program activities with the Partner's personnel, and review financial or other records and materials connected with the Project activities financed by the Award.
12. Corrective Action. While uncommon, there may be extraordinary and rare circumstances in which the Alliance deems it necessary or desirable to utilize a corrective action plan for modifying the Agreement terms to facilitate the Partner's compliance with its terms, including adjustment of Milestones, the amount of the Award, completion documentation, and/or extension of completion dates. Partner shall promptly notify the Alliance if Partner anticipates it will not timely achieve any Milestones outlined in the SOW in their entirety, along with a written explanation and any documentation supporting the reasons for Partner's delay. Circumstances within Partner's control shall not in themselves be considered sufficient justification for granting a corrective action. Partner noncompliance with modified terms under a corrective action plan shall result in termination of this Agreement consistent with Sections 12 and 18, except to the extent that the Alliance elects to further modify the terms of the Agreement in accordance with the foregoing.
13. Bad Faith Recoupment. The Alliance reserves the right to request additional documentation as it deems necessary to validate Partner's use of the Award, either before Letter of Agreement: Alliance Housing Fund
Last revised O 1/21 /25 Page 4 of28
112
or after Partner's use. If the Alliance reasonably determines that Partner is in breach of Partner's implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing by failing to take reasonable steps to achieve Milestones or deliver the deliverables, then the Alliance may, in its sole discretion, recoup, withhold, or reduce all or part of any Award payment, as applicable.
14. Compliance with Other Obligations. Partner shall comply with laws and regulations and any regulatory agreements, commitments or undertakings that are imposed on Partner as a result of its receipt of funding from other sources pursuant to Sections 17, 21, 24, and the SOW.

Partner also agrees to retain such financial accounts, documents and records for three (3) calendar years following termination of this Agreement. Partner agrees to maintain and make available for inspection by the Alliance accurate records of all of its costs, disbursements, and receipts with respect to its activities under this Agreement.

Funded organizations who receive funding for the purpose of constructing or renovating a building must memorialize Alliance financial support with a plaque. Funded organizations must refer to the Alliance's Promotion Toolkit for Funded Partners for instruction on the required promotional verbiage, use of Alliance name and Alliance logo in promotional activities.

At its option, the Alliance may offset all or any portion of the disallowed amount against any other payment due to Partner hereunder or under any other agreement.

laws or regulations in existence on the Effective Date that may have been clarified or subject to new or changed interpretation, or (ii) in the event of a natural disaster or other event that causes the Alliance to be unable to fulfill its commitment hereunder.

Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect Partner's obligations under Sections 6-8 and Sections 13-43 of this Agreement, Useful Life obligations in the SOW, or any other obligation that, by its nature, is intended to survive termination or expiration of this Agreement. Upon any termination by the Alliance for cause, Partner shall return any unexpended Award funds to the Alliance within thirty (30) calendar days of the Alliance's written notice of termination, unless the Alliance has approved an alternate arrangement in advance and in writing, as provided below. Such termination will not limit any other remedies that may be available to the Alliance under this Agreement, at law, or in equity.

c. On-Site Services for Transitional/Permanent Supportive Housing. If Partner has received an Alliance Housing Fund Award for a permanent supportive housing project, Partner represents that medical and/or social supportive services will be available to medically fragile Medi-Cal residents with complex needs at the proposed site, which shall be funded by sources other than the Alliance Housing Fund or other Alliance grant programs.

Partner represents that the completed Project facility will serve MediCal eligible individuals as set forth in this Agreement, including meeting the Minimum Medi-Cal Occupancy requirements defined in the SOW, for a period of not less than ten (10) years from the Phase Three Completion Date ("Useful Life").
If the facility ceases to service Medi-Cal eligible individuals in accordance with this Agreement prior to the end of the Useful Life, Partner shall provide the Alliance with at least ninety (90) days advance notice prior to the date upon which the facility ceases to service Medi-Cal eligible individuals. In the event that the Partner ceases using the facility to serve Medi-Cal eligible individuals as required under this Agreement or reduces the availability of units for Medi-Cal eligible individuals below the required Minimum Medi-Cal Occupancy, Partner shall pay to the Alliance a prorated portion of the Award amount, as follows:
1. Less than Three Years. If Partner maintains the Minimum Medi-Cal Occupancy standard for less than three years after receipt of the final payment, Partner shall pay the Alliance an amount equal to 80% of the Award amount.

Last revised O 1/21/25 Page 9 of28
117
if the Alliance determines, in its sole discretion, that such failure 1s attributable to circumstances that are beyond Partner's control. v1. Serving Medi-Cal Eligible Individuals at a Different Facility. The Alliance may waive Partner's repayment obligation if Partner ceases to occupy the facility but continues to make the same number of Minimum Medi-Cal Occupancy units available to Medi-Cal eligible individuals without interruption at a different facility that has at least the capacity as the facility for which Partner has received an Award hereunder, and that is within the service area of the Alliance (i.e., the Counties of Mariposa, Merced, Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Cruz).
v11. Operation of Facility by Third Party. If Partner sells the facility or leases or subleases the facility to a third party or enters into any transaction through which Partner no longer owns or leases or has responsibility for and control of the operation of the facility as contemplated herein, Partner shall pay to the Alliance the applicable prorated amounts set forth in this Section 21 unless such third party agrees in writing to, and is deemed by the Alliance, in its sole discretion, to be qualified to continue serving Medi-Cal eligible individuals at Minimum Medi-Cal Occupancy levels under the same terms and conditions that Partner has agreed to as set forth herein. Partner shall provide the Alliance with at least ninety (90) days advance notice of a transaction described herein.

All notices required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and may be delivered in person or may be sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or U.S. Postal Service Express Mail, with postage prepaid, or by Federal Express or other overnight courier that guarantees next day delivery. Unless otherwise stated in the SOW, notices shall be sent to the address of the receiving party's principal place of business. Either party may change the address for notice by giving written notice to the other party. Changes to either party's notice address or Liaison shall not require an amendment to this Agreement.
23. Taxes. Partner shall pay to the appropriate governmental authority, as and when due, any and all taxes, fees, assessments or other governmental charges, including possessory interest taxes and California sales and use taxes, levied upon or in connection with this Agreement, the Project, the Award, or any of the activities contemplated by this Agreement.
24. Compliance with Services Agreement. If Partner is a party to any other agreement(s) with the Alliance, Partner shall comply with all of the requirements in such agreement(s), including any nondiscrimination provisions.
25. Use of Subcontractors. As between Alliance and Partner, Partner shall be responsible for the acts, defaults and omissions of any subcontractor or its agents or employees as fully as if they were the acts, defaults or omissions of Partner. Partner shall ensure that its subcontractors comply with all of the terms of this Agreement, insofar as Letter of Agreement: Alliance Housing Fund
Last revised O 1/21/25 Page 10 of28

they apply to the subcontracted portion of the Project. All references herein to duties and obligations of Partner shall be deemed to pertain also to all subcontractors to the extent applicable. A breach by any subcontractor shall be deemed to be a breach hereunder.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create any contractual relationship between any subcontractor and Alliance. Each subcontract shall incorporate all of the terms of this Agreement to the extent they apply to the subcontracted portion of the Project. Without limiting the scope of the foregoing, Partner shall ensure that each subcontract shall provide the Alliance, the audit and inspection rights set forth herein.

GRANT
LETTER OF INTENT
Central California Alliance For Health
530 West 16th St. Suite B
Merced, CA 95340
[email protected]
To Whom it May Concern,
The City of Los Banos is grateful for the opportunity to submit this Letter of Intent under the Housing Fund Grant
The following letter describes the project with all required elements as found on the CCAH website:
https://thealliance.health/ for-communities/ funding-opportunities/ alliance-housing-fund/ and listed and detailed below:
I. The project proposal:
The City of Los Banos intends to expand the current Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) Project funded through the California Encampment Resolution Fund through the use of CCAH Housing Fund dollars. The City of Los Banos can satisfy the fifty (50%) percent match of funds and has the executive, operational, logistical, and fiscal capacity to expend the CCAH Housing Fund dollars effectively, with fiscal accountability, in alignment with evidence-based practices, with data integrity, and in compliance with all grant and other regulatory requirements.
The current project consists of fifty (50) one (1) bedroom, one (1) bathroom permanent supportive affordable rental housing units designated for People Experiencing 1 139
Homelessness. Services to Residents include case management, links to vital services, health care, employment, and other benefits.
The expansion intended through the use of CCAH Housing Funds consists of the development of additional PSH units in the Encampment Resolution Fund project. It is estimated the project could expand to include an additional six (6) to eight (8) larger (two (2) to three (3) bedroom) permanent supportive units These (or all) units would then be made available through the County-Wide Coordinated Entry System to identify supportive services providers such as the County Housing Support Program which serves CalWORKs/MediCal eligible households with dependent aged children and can provide credit repair, move-in assistance, rental assistance, case management, housing stability services, and connection to supportive services such as CalAIM ECM/CS.
This Permanent Supportive Housing project will offer an environment informed by PEH using Person-Centered, Trauma-Informed, Harm Reduction, and Housing First Practices
Using the Merced City and County Continuum of Care's (CoC's) Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), HUD Universal Data Elements will be collected as well as project-specific data. The Project will be entered as an HMIS permanent supportive housing project. Measurements will include: Clients housed, housing retention, clients engaged in outreach, demographics to track racial, ethnic, and social equity and disproportionalities, age, assessments performed, vital documents collected, Clients connected and approved for Medi-Cal, CalFresh, and CalAIM, Clients connected to income/revenue sources, Clients connected to Medication-Assisted Treatment and other health care treatment.
A project manager has been assigned to the project to schedule, track/monitor, and report all construction activities in project management software.
This project will fully leverage CalAIM benefits including Enhanced Care Management (ECM) and Community Supports (CS). The City of Los Banos has begun negotiations with two CalAIM providers who have agreed to staff ECM providers at the PSH site.

Ill. A description of your organization
The City of Los Banos is a California Municipal Corporation ("City"). The division responsible for project implementation is the Housing Division of the Community and Economic Development Department of the City. The Housing Division is devoted to the City's response system to homelessness and for the development of affordable housing. the Housing Program Manager works full time to develop, administer, and monitor programs for unhoused community members and for those at risk of becoming unhoused. The Housing Program Manager's Outreach Coordinator is devoted to the City's outreach and engagement efforts and also serves in Case Management, and Harm Reductionist consultation. Both the Housing Program Manager and the Outreach Coordinator have been involved in the development and operation of Navigation Centers, Homekey projects, and numerous emergency shelter and homeless response systems in Portland Oregon and Merced California. These two staff members have over a decade of experience each in Response Systems to Homelessness involving all aspects including Harm Reduction. In addition, the Finance Director and Finance Manager are ready to accept the grant and maintain all financial tracking, monitoring, auditing, and reporting
IV. A statement of need
The focus of the project is the one hundred and forty-nine ( 149) unhoused community members in the City of Los Banos as reported in the 2024 Point in Time Count. The community includes adult women age range 25-65, adult men age range 25-65, and approximately three non-binary community members age range 25-50. Racial and ethnic demographics include: 38% Hispanic/Latino, 14% African American/Black, 2% American Indian, 1 % Asian, 20% White, 8% multiple races, 5% reported "unknown" Race or Ethnicity. Some clients have declined to reply to regarding racial and/or ethnicity. Approximately 30% of encampment residents, who report, suffer physical disabilities and approximately 75%, who report, are suffering mental illness. The City acknowledges the numbers of Community Members suffering mental illness and/or physical disabilities may be higher. Household compositions include couples, shared encampment sites of non-biological members with 3 or more people. Other compositions include siblings, adult children with parents, and single tent sites.
Projected services needed include mental and behavioral health care, MedicationAssisted Treatment, Substance Use Disorder education and treatment, connection to income/revenue sources, human services benefits such as Cal-Fresh, Medi-Cal, and General Aid, Rapid Rehousing, and Housing Navigation. Housing needs include connections to section 8 vouchers, housing search, application assistance, assistance with rental application fees, rental deposits, and post-housing case management for housing retention. Currently there are only approximately twenty (20) beds of 3 141
emergency shelter within the City limits. Rental Application approvals have been extremely challenging due to the lack of available rental units and rental application denials associated with Participant's low credit scores, past rental history, and income requirements.
V. Your methodology and/or an achievable solution to the need Affordable, permanent, and supportive housing is the key to addressing homelessness.
The number one factor contributing to the crisis of homelessness is the lack of affordable housing units (Homelessness, 2023). i The Funds being spent to deliver services to clients in encampments can be more efficiently and efficaciously spent when People are housed permanently with services. A study conducted by UC Irvine shows the annual cost of services for a chronically homeless person on the street in Orange County is $100,759 per year. It's approximately fifty percent (50%) less expensive to permanently house a person with supportive services. The partner developer will sustain the project beyond the grant periods with rental revenues and Section 8 housing vouchers.
VI. A project budget and brief discussion of other funding sources The funds would be used to expand an existing, fund-awarded project. The full and detailed budget is attached as Exhibit A.
Funding sources include: $11,842,621.00-Encampment Resolution Fund, $1,336,424.00-Leveraged funds-City of Los Banos, General Fund The requested award amount is $2.5 million dollars. The full budget of the existing project is $11.8 million dollars of Encampment Resolution Fund grant dollars and $1.3 million dollars of leveraged funds. Using the current budget average per one (1) bedroom, one (1) bathroom unit, we estimate six (6) to eight (8) larger units (two (2) and three (3) bedrooms) could be added to the project at a cost of $2.1 million dollars and the remaining $400,000.00 dedicated to project change order/contingency funds and administrative costs. This budget includes all associated costs including construction, development, and services.
VII. A final summary
Affordable Permanent Supportive Housing is the key to addressing homelessness.
When people are stable in a safe environment, wraparound services can be offered and health can be restored and improved. Healthy communities benefit society and create success for all. The combination of the Encampment Resolution Fund award and the Central California Alliance for Health funds is an incredible opportunity to create a 4 142
groundbreaking project that combines housing, health, and other services which are vital to life change. The enhancement of CCAH funds will allow the City of Los Banos and the County of Merced to create homes for households and families. With the addition of the CCAH funds, the existing project goes above and beyond the project's initial mission and will allow the project to include children and youth which has been an underserved focus/target group in Merced County. Bringing health care services to Children and Youth will allow Merced County to offer preventative services to the next generation and will create a foundation these families might not otherwise have. We have a unique chance to curate and nurture an environment focused on health care, education, nutrition, and community-building. The City of Los Banos fully embraces the Mission and Vision of CCAH, Healthy People, Healthy Communities, and Accessible, Quality Health Care guided by local innovation. With this award, we would literally be building a Healthy Community. By placing Cal AIM providers onsite, we would create access to quality health care. We would be honored to receive these funds and be an extension and force multiplier for Central California Alliance for Health Care In addition, Project Requirements found on the CCAH website are addressed in this Letter of Intent as detailed below:
1. Medi-Cal purpose: Funded projects must designate at minimum 80% of units developed to Medi-Cal beneficiaries.
The City of Los Banos attests that the project will designate, at a minimum, 80% of units to Medi-Cal beneficiaries. Our Team connects each Participant with Medi-Cal, as a basic Case Management service.
2. Service area: Applicants must implement site-specific projects within at least one county in the Alliance service area, which includes Mariposa, Merced, Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz counties.
The City of Los Banos is located within Merced County. The project site is located within the City limits of Los Banos.
3. Project funding: The Alliance will award no more than 50% of total project costs. At the time of award, applicants must have secured the remaining 50% of funding necessary to complete the project from other sources.
Other funding sources can include donations, in-kind products and/or services, cash or documented loans or lines of credit and/or other state, local or grant funding. Project requests must be for non-renewable funding that can be sustained through earned revenue or other sources without dependence on further Alliance investment or grant contributions. 5 143
The Encampment Resolution Fund (ERF) award letter is attached. These funds have been promised by the State to be received in Late July 2024. Once ERF dollars have been expended, the project will be sustained by Developer's ownership of the rental units and rental revenue including a mix of renter-paid units and Section 8 Housing Choice, Project-based, and HUD-VASH vouchers. The project is regulated by a 55-year deed restriction for Affordable Housing. In addition, Cal AIM will be leveraged.
4. Eligible for Federal/State program participation: Applicant organizations must be free from any debarment and/or suspension, declared ineligibility or voluntarily excluded by any federal department or agency.
The city of Los Banos is free from any debarment and/or suspension, declared ineligibility or voluntarily excluded by any federal department or agency.
5. Compliance with current grant agreement(s): Applicant organizations that have been awarded a grant by the Alliance's Medi-Cal Capacity Grant Program must be in compliance with the terms of the grant agreement in order to be eligible for additional investment or grant funding. Past noncompliance may disqualify grantees from receiving future funding.
The City of Los Banos does not hold any other award from CCAH, but is in compliance with all other grants it holds and would be in full compliance of any grant awarded.
6. Enhanced Care Management service provision: Projects that allow for incorporation of Enhanced Care Management (ECM) and Community Support (CS) service provision directly on-site will be prioritized.
The City of Los Banos fully intends to incorporate ECM and CS services in this project.
The City currently incorporates four (4) ECM providers and two (2) CS providers with plans to add more.
7. Funding Term: Project timelines should be no more than 39 months.
Project timelines are defined as the date the project scope of work begins (after award date) to the date of project completion. Funding will be considered for the expansion of projects already in progress. However, costs incurred prior to the Alliance approving the award will not be considered. Funding is not intended for physical infrastructure projects such as building new playgrounds or parks.
The project is due to be completed no later than 6-30-2027 which is compliance with the CCAH Housing Fund project deadline of 39 months. No past costs will be addressed with these funds. Ground is due to break as soon as the State of California issues the ERF dollars which is estimated by the State to be late July 2024. No playgrounds or parks will be constructed with CCAH funds.

On April 18, 2024, the California lnteragency Council on Homelessness awarded the City of Los Banos Encampment Resolution Funding Round 3 (ERF-3-R) funds in the amount of $11,842,621.00 for a Permanent Supportive Housing for People Experiencing Homelessness. On October 2nd, 2024, the City Council authorized entering into a Standard Agreement with the State of California for the ERF-3-R award.
On July 31, 2024, The Central California Alliance for Health (CCAH) awarded the City of Los Banos Housing Funds in the amount of $2,500,000 for Permanent Supportive Housing for People Experiencing Homelessness.
Discussion:
The City of Los Banos Housing Division is responsible for developing a City-Wide system response to homelessness. The Housing Division offers Outreach and Engagement, Case Management, Housing Navigation, and connection to services, income, benefits, and health care. The Housing Division also identifies opportunities for grant funds supportive of the City's commitment to solve homelessness by developing Affordable Permanent Supportive Housing designated for People Experiencing Homelessness.
According to the Merced City and County Continuum of Care Point in Time Count, as of January 2024, there were one-hundred and forty-nine (149) People Experiencing Homelessness in the City of Los Banos. Twenty-Eight (28) of those individuals were recorded as sheltered in the City's emergency shelter system ("Bridge Homes") and other shelter beds in local area motels.
Staff hosted competitive bid processes to identify Developer/Contractor partners for the development of Affordable Permanent Supportive Housing for People Experiencing Homelessness and People at Risk of Experiencing Homelessness (Request for Qualifications, dated January 25, 2024 and Request for Proposals, dated April 12, 2024 ). A Developer, Ana basis, LLC, has been identified through these procurement processes.
Anabasis, LLC is a Merced County, local developer led by two Army Veterans with extensive experience in real estate and advocacy for supportive housing and is a fully registered and certified Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB).
They are dedicated to addressing the pressing need for affordable housing solutions.
Anabasis specializes in Affordable Housing Development particularly for Veterans and underserved communities with projects influenced by the State's housing programs administered through HCD. This organization works closely with local governments and community groups aiming to provide essential housing solutions in areas like Merced County and beyond. The founder, Adam Conour, has emphasized long term involvement in the community served rather than simply completing projects and moving on.

In addition to the construction aspect of the project, Anabasis will provide supportive services to residents of the PSH development for a period of no less than 55 years.

• City Involvement: The City owns the land and will convey it to Anabasis LLC under specific terms.
Financial Provisions:
• City Loan: Low-interest deferred loan to the developer, funded by Encampment Resolution Funding Round 3 (ERF-3-R) and CCAH Housing Funds.

The proposed project to develop 58 residential units, including 1 unrestricted manager's unit and 57 permanent supportive housing (PSH) units for individuals experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness represents a critical public benefit by addressing one of the most pressing challenges facing our community: housing instability and homelessness. This initiative aligns with our shared values of equity, compassion, and opportunity while advancing broader public policy goals of reducing homelessness and its associated societal costs.
The PSH project will provide safe, stable, and dignified housing for 57 households, directly supporting individuals and families who face significant barriers to accessing traditional housing. Permanent supportive housing has been proven to reduce homelessness, improve health outcomes, and foster long-term stability for vulnerable populations.
By reducing homelessness, the project contributes to healthier neighborhoods, safer streets, and a stronger sense of community well-being. It will create opportunities for residents to rebuild their lives and engage productively in the community. 5 177
The sale of four ( 4) acres of public land for five dollars ($5) to the developer is a strategic and necessary investment in achieving public benefits. The land sale directly facilitates a project that serves a critical public need. Leveraging public assets to address homelessness is an effective and ethical use of resources to promote the wellbeing of the broader community.
The benefits generated by the PSH project far outweigh the monetary value of the land.
Reduced homelessness, decreased public system costs, improved public health outcomes, and enhanced community stability translate to significant economic and social returns over time.
The project aligns with local and regional policy priorities to expand affordable housing, reduce homelessness, and promote inclusive growth. By supporting this initiative, the city demonstrates its commitment to addressing these urgent challenges through effective partnerships with the private sector.
Fiscal Impact:
The City of Los Banos was awarded . $11,842,621.00 of ERF-3-R funds for the development of Permanent Supportive Housing. The Amount of the forgivable loan issued to Anabasis is planned to be a portion of the ERF grant and the entirety of the CCAH grant for a total of $12,174,020.00. The remaining amount of the ERF grant, $1,952,601.00 will be used to pay expenses and general administration directly from the City of Los Banos to any vendors owed for the specific and sole use of the ERF PSH project.
The City of Los Banos was awarded $2,500,00.00 of CCAH Housing Funds for the development of Permanent Supportive Housing. The entire amount of $2,500,00.00 is included in the forgivable loan as structured in the DDLA.
Environmental Analysis:
The requested City Council action is not a "Project" as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to Section 15378(a), a "Project" means the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. However, the requested action is not approval of a Project and constitutes a "preliminary contract" within the meaning of Section 15004 because the Project is subject to compliance with CEQA, and the DDLA does not bind any party or commit to any definitive course of action prior to CEQA compliance, does not restrict the City from considering any feasible mitigation measures or alternatives, does not restrict the City from disapproving entitlements for the Project, and does not create any vested rights to proceed with the Project. The close of escrow under the DDLA is specifically conditioned on future compliance with CEQA.

WHEREAS, the City of Los Banos was awarded $11,842,621 in Encampment Resolution Funds (ERF), to develop Permanent Supportive Housing for People Experiencing Homelessness who reside, or who had recently resided in a designated city encampment;
WHEREAS, the Central California Alliance for Health awarded the City of Los Banos $2,500,00.00 in Housing Funds for the construction of eight (8) units of Permanent Supportive housing;

WHEREAS, the disposition of the Property to the developer is authorized by and compliant with California Government Code section 37364 and is a strategic and necessary investment in achieving public benefits, and the City has a public purpose in disposing of the Property for less than fair market value for the following reasons:
1. Public Land Serving Public Good
The land sale directly facilitates a project that serves a critical public need.
Leveraging public assets to address homelessness is an effective and ethical use of resources to promote the well-being of the broader community.
2. Affordable Housing Development Challenges
Developing PSH projects requires significant financial investment, often constrained by limited funding sources. Reducing the upfront cost of land acquisition enables the developer to allocate more resources toward construction, services, and sustainability, ensuring the project's long-term success.
3. Economic and Social Returns
The benefits generated by the PSH project far outweigh the monetary value of the land. Reduced homelessness, decreased public system costs, improved public health outcomes, and enhanced community stability translate to significant economic and social returns over time.
2 182
4. Alignment with Public Policy Goals
The project aligns with local and regional policy priorities to expand affordable housing, reduce homelessness, and promote inclusive growth. By supporting this initiative, the city demonstrates its commitment to addressing these urgent challenges through effective partnerships with the private sector.
The sale of the Property, which is four (4) acres of a larger parcel, for nominal consideration five dollars ($5) is a strategic investment that enables the development of a transformative project, delivering meaningful and lasting benefits to both the individuals served and the broader community. This initiative reflects the community's shared commitment to addressing homelessness with urgency, compassion, and pragmatism.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF LOS BANOS DECLARING PURSUANT
TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54221 THAT
REAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE CITY IS
EXEMPT SURPLUS LAND FOR PURPOSES
STATED HEREIN, AND FINDING THAT SUCH
DECLARATION IS EXEMPT FROM
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW UNDER THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
WHEREAS, the City of Los Banos (the "Agency" or the "City") recognizes the critical need for affordable housing within the City to address the housing needs of persons and families of low or moderate income; and
WHEREAS, the City is the owner in fee simple of that certain real property located near Gilbert Gonzales, Jr. Drive, Los Banos, California, commonly referred to as Assessor's Parcel Number 083-100-084, and depicted in Exhibit "A," attached hereto and incorporated herein, and the City desires to dispose of a portion of the Property (hereafter, the "Property") for development of a permanent supportive housing development project with one hundred percent (100%) of the residential units restricted for households with income that does not exceed the limits for low income households, as defined in California Health and Safety Code Section 50079.5; WHEREAS, the Property is not necessary for the City's use and may be disposed of as "surplus land" pursuant to the Surplus Land Act, Government Code sections 54220 et seq. (the "Act"); and
WHEREAS, the Property may also be declared exempt surplus land pursuant to California Government Code Section 54221, subdivision (f)(1 )(F) if one hundred percent (100%) of the residential units are restricted as affordable housing for persons and families of low or moderate income, with at least 75 percent of the residential units restricted to lower income households, as defined in California Health and Safety Code Section 50079.5, at an affordable rent, as defined in California Health and Safety Code Section 50053, for a minimum of 55 years; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 50093, persons and families of low or moderate income includes very low-income households, as defined in California Health and Safety Code Section 50105, and the City desires to restrict a number of the affordable units to households that qualify as very low income households; and
WHEREAS, the Property may be declared as exempt surplus land consistent with Government Code Section 54221 (f)(2) of the Act because the Property is not: within a 191
coastal zone; adjacent to a historical unit of the State Parks System; listed on, or determined by the State Office of Historic Preservation to be eligible for, the National Register of Historic Places; or, within the Lake Tahoe region as defined in Government Code Section 66905.5.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Los Banos, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein as a substantive part of this Resolution.
SECTION 2. The City Council hereby declares that the Property is surplus land under Government Code Section 54221 and not necessary for the City's use.
SECTION 3. The City Council hereby declares that the Property is exempt surplus land that may be disposed pursuant to California Government Code Section 54221, subdivision (f)(1 )(F), subject to a recorded covenant as described in Section 3 of this Resolution that requires one hundred percent (100%) of the residential units shall be provided as affordable rental units to households with income that does not exceed the limits for low income households, as defined in California Health and Safety Code section 50079.5, for a minimum of 55 years. If the Property is disposed pursuant to this exemption, the recorded covenant shall comply with the requirements of Government Code Section 54221, subdivision (f)(1 )(F), and implementing Guidelines from the California Department of Housing and Community Development, which require that the affordable rent shall not be higher than twenty percent (20%) below the median market rents for the neighborhood in which the Property is located, based upon the most recent median market rents for the zip code where the Property is located.
SECTION 4. The City Council further finds that the Property may be declared exempt surplus land consistent with Section 54221 (f)(2) of the Act because the Property is not: within a coastal zone; adjacent to a historical unit of the State Parks System; listed on, or determined by the State Office of Historic Preservation to be eligible for, the National Register of Historic Places; or, within the Lake Tahoe region as defined in Government Code Section 66905.5.
SECTION 5. Any disposition of the Property pursuant to the exemptions set forth herein shall be subject to a covenant recorded against the Property that shall run with the land and be enforceable against any owner who violates the covenant or restriction and each successor in interest who continues the violation.
SECTION 6. This Resolution has been reviewed with respect to the applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) ("CEQA"). Agency staff has determined that the designation of this property as exempt surplus does not have the potential for creating a significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3), because it is not a project as defined by the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15378. Adoption of the Resolution does not have the 192
potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
SECTION 7. A copy of this Resolution shall be sent to the California Department of Housing and Community Development in accordance with the requirements of Section 400( e) of the SLA Guidelines.
SECTION 8. If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Resolution is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Resolution.
SECTION 9. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Los Banos does hereby declare pursuant to Government Code Section 54221 that real property owned by the City of Los Banos, specifically identified as Assessor's Parcel Number 083- 100-084, is exempt surplus land for purposes stated herein, and finding that such declaration is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act.
The foregoing Resolution was introduced at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Los Banos held on the __ day of ____ 20_, by Council Member _ __ who moved its adoption, which motion was duly seconded by Council Member ___ and the Resolution adopted by the following vote:

If the City elects in City's Title Notice Response to cause the removal of any matter objected to in Developer's Title Notice from the Preliminary Report, the City shall cause the removal of each such objectionable matter from the Preliminary Report within sixty (60) days following receipt by the Developer of City's Title Notice Response or such other period of time that may be agreed to -12-

in writing by both the City and the Developer. If the City is unwilling or unable to cause the removal of any matter objected to in Developer's Title Notice from the Preliminary Report, then, within ten (10) days following the Developer's receipt of City's Title Notice Response stating that the City is unwilling to remove or cause the removal of any matter objected to in Developer's Title Notice or upon the expiration of the above sixty (60) day time period during which the City elected to remove such objectionable matters from the Preliminary Report and was unable to do so, the Developer may either (1) refuse to accept the title to and conveyance of the Property, in which case the Parties shall have the right, subject to Section 2.4.2, to cancel the Escrow and terminate this Agreement without liability to either Party or any other person, by delivery of a written notice of termination to the Escrow Holder, or (2) waive its objection to any items set forth in Developer's Title Notice by delivering Developer's Title Notice Waiver to the City. Failure by the Developer to deliver Developer's Title Notice Waiver, where City's Title Notice Response or the City's failure to serve City's Title Notice Response indicates the City's election not to cause the removal of any matter objected to in Developer's Title Notice from the Preliminary Report, for the City to deliver City's Title Notice Response under this Agreement, will be deemed the Developer's continued refusal to accept the title to and conveyance of the Property, in which case the City shall have the right, subject to Section 2.4.2, to cancel the Escrow and terminate this Agreement, in the City's sole discretion, without liability to the Developer or any other person, by delivery of a written notice of termination to the Developer and Escrow Holder.
2.4.1 If at any time prior to the Close of Escrow the Title Company issues an updated Preliminary Report containing any previously undisclosed matter affecting title to the Property, or the City becomes aware of any previously undisclosed matter affecting title to the Property, following the delivery of the Developer's Title Notice, the City shall provide written notice to the Developer of such matter, together with any updated Preliminary Report related to such matter. The City and the Developer shall have such rights and obligations with respect to such previously undisclosed title matters as they did with respect to any title matters set forth in the original Preliminary Report as set forth in Section 2.4.
2.4.2 Before exercising any right a Party may have under this Section 2.4 to cancel the Escrow and terminate this Agreement, such Party shall notify the non-terminating Parties in writing of its election to terminate and shall, upon a non-terminating Party's request, which must be delivered, if at all, within three (3) days following its receipt of the terminating Party's notice of election to terminate, meet and confer with the non-terminating Parties for a period of thirty (30) days. During such time, the Parties shall meet as often as reasonably requested by any Party to negotiate, in good faith, methods and means by which the objectionable title matter may be eliminated or mitigated. Nothing herein shall constitute an agreement, representation, or warranty by any Party that an acceptable resolution of the objectionable title matter will be achieved, nor shall any Party be obligated to expend any funds or undertake any other action whatsoever with respect to such title matter unless such agreement is reduced to a writing which is approved by all Parties, in their sole and absolute discretion. If, at the end of such thirty (30) day period, the Parties have not been able to agree on a mutually acceptable method of resolving such title matter, or if any proposed agreement is disapproved by the City Council, the Escrow shall be cancelled, this Agreement shall be terminated without liability to any Party, and the Parties shall proceed pursuant to Section 5.9.

If the Developer does not unconditionally accept the condition of the Property by delivery of its Due Diligence Investigation Conclusion Notice indicating such acceptance prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, the Developer shall be deemed to have rejected the condition of the Property and refused to accept conveyance of title to the Property. If the condition of the Property is rejected or deemed rejected by the Developer, then the City shall have the right, subject to Section 2.4.2, to cancel the Escrow and terminate this Agreement, in the City's sole discretion, without liability to the Developer or any other person, by delivery of a written notice of termination to the Developer and Escrow Holder.

Requirements, then the City and the Developer shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to reach agreement as to the allocation of responsibility and cost of remediation thereof.
2.5.2 Any Due Diligence Investigations of the Property by the Developer shall not unreasonably disrupt any then existing use or occupancy of the Property or the operations of the City. The Developer shall be liable for any damage or injury to any person or property arising from the acts of the Developer, its employees, agents or representatives during the course of any Due Diligence Investigations on the Property and the Developer shall indemnify, defend with counsel reasonably acceptable to the City and hold harmless the City and its elected officials, officers, directors, attorneys, contractors, agents and employees from any and all actual or alleged liens, claims, demands or liability arising from any Due Diligence Investigations by the Developer on the Property. Prior to commencing any Due Diligence Investigations on the Property, the Developer shall deliver copies of policies or certificates of insurance to the City evidencing compliance by the Developer with the insurance requirements of Section 6.10.

If, at the end of such thirty (30) day period, the Parties have not been able to agree on a mutually acceptable method of resolving the objectionable Due Diligence matter, or if any proposed agreement is disapproved by the City Council, the Escrow shall be cancelled, this Agreement shall be terminated without liability to any Party, and the Parties shall proceed pursuant to Section 4.10.

240
Agreement, this obligation shall continue until the Maturity Date of the City Promissory Note.

7.3 Rights of Lenders and City Regarding Permitted Loans and Liens.
7.3.1 The City shall have the sole and absolute right to review and approve any Lender from which the Developer proposes to obtain any Loan, whether or not such Loan is secured by a Lien against the Property or any portion thereof. Without limitation, in deciding whether to give, condition or withhold such approval, the City may consider, among other matters, whether or not the proposed Lender is a state or federally chartered bank, savings and loan, or other financial institution which routinely provides construction financing to development projects such as the Project, whether the terms of the Loan are reasonable and customary when compared to the financing terms of similar development projects in the County, the size and financial strength of the proposed Lender, and what effect, if any, any changes requested by the Lender to either this Agreement or any of the exhibits to this Agreement may have upon the City's rights and remedies hereunder. In connection therewith, in any notice requesting approval of a proposed Lender and Loan, the Developer shall include a statement identifying any amendments, modifications, or other changes to this Agreement or its exhibits which the proposed Lender will request in connection with the Developer's obtaining of the Loan. The City agrees to reasonably consider, but shall not be obligated to accept, any amendment, modification, or other change to this Agreement or any of the exhibits to this Agreement which materially restricts, diminishes, or burdens the City's rights and remedies. In no event shall any Loan result in a Lien against any City-owned property, and this Agreement shall not be construed or interpreted to allow any such Lien. 7 .3.2 Whenever the City delivers any notice or demand to the Developer regarding any breach or default by the Developer under this Agreement that, if not timely cured by the Developer, would entitle the City to terminate this Agreement, the City shall send a copy of such notice to each affected Lender of which the City has received notice and a contact address for transmittal of such notices. Whenever the City delivers any notice or demand to the Developer regarding any breach or default by the Developer under this Agreement that, if not timely cured by the Developer, would entitle the City to exercise its power of termination of the fee estate of all or any portion of the Property pursuant to Section 8.6, the City shall at the same time send a copy of such notice or demand to each affected Lender of which the City has received notice and a contact address for transmittal of such notice. Each affected Lender receiving a copy of any such notice shall have the right, at its option, to commence the cure or remedy of any such default of the Developer and to diligently and continuously proceed with such cure or remedy, within one hundred eighty ( 180) calendar days following its receipt of notice of the default. If a default of the Developer under this Agreement cannot, with diligence, be remedied or cured, or the remedy or cure of such default cannot be commenced, within such one hundred eighty ( 180) calendar day period, the Lender shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to remedy or cure -44-
83727.00003\43242936.J
241
such default of the Developer, but in no event beyond three hundred sixty five (365) calendar days following its receipt of notice of the default. If such default of the Developer can only be remedied or cured by the Lender upon obtaining possession of the Property, the Lender shall seek to obtain possession of the Property with diligence and continuity through a receiver or otherwise, and shall remedy or cure such default of the Developer within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after obtaining possession of the Property. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to permit or authorize any Lender to undertake or continue the construction of any portion of the Project (beyond the extent necessary to conserve or protect improvements or construction already made), without expressly assuming the Developer's obligations under this Agreement by written agreement approved by the City, in which the Lender agrees to complete, in the manner provided in this Agreement, the improvements to which the Lien or title of the Lender relates, which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld, delayed, or conditioned by the City.
7.3.3 In any case where, one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after delivery of notice of a default of the Developer under Section 7 .3 .3, an affected Lender has not exercised the option provided in Section 7.3.2 to construct the applicable portions of the Project, or has exercised the option, but has not proceeded diligently and continuously with construction, the City shall have the option, in the City's sole and absolute discretion, to purchase the Loan of such Lender and any security interest of such Lender under its Loan Documents by payment to the Lender of the amount of the unpaid Loan, including principal, accrued and unpaid interest, late charges, costs, expenses and other amounts payable to the Lender by the Developer under its Loan Documents and, if the ownership of the Property or any portion of the Property has previously vested in such Lender, the City, at its option but not as its obligation, shall be entitled to a conveyance of any title or interest in the Property vested in such Lender from such Lender.
7.3.4 After expiration of the one hundred eighty (180) calendar day period provided for in Section 7.3.3, any affected Lender may demand, in writing, that the City act to exercise or forego the option granted in Section 7 .3 .3. If the City fails to exercise the right granted in Section 7.3.3 within sixty (60) calendar days from the date of the City's receipt of such written demand from a Lender, the City shall be conclusively deemed to have waived its right of purchase of that Lender's interest pursuant to Section 7.3.3.
7 .3.5 In the event of a default or breach by the Developer under any Loan Documents, where the Lender has not exercised its option to complete the Project under Section 7 .3 .2, the City may cure the default of the Developer under the applicable Loan Documents, but is under no obligation to do so, prior to completion of any sale or foreclosure of the Property or any portion thereof under the applicable Loan Documents.

The City shall have the option, but not the obligation, to purchase the Property and/or Project on substantially the same terms as described in the Lender's notice, which -45-

option, if ever, shall be exercised by written notice from the City to the Lender within twenty (20) days following the City's receipt of the Lender's notice. If the City elects not to exercise its option, then, subject to Section 9.2.2, the Lender may complete the transaction described in its notice, provided that such transaction is closed on materially identical terms and conditions as those described in the Lender's notice to the City. If the Lender and third party transferee desire to materially amend the terms of their proposed transaction, the Lender shall give the City written notice of the proposed modifications and the City shall once again have the right to elect to acquire the Property and the Project (or portion thereof) on terms and conditions substantially similar to those modified terms. If, for any reason, the proposed transaction between the Lender and third party transferee fails to close within two hundred forty (240) days following the date on which the City first receives notice of the proposed transaction ( or notice of the proposed modified transaction, whichever is later), then the City once again have the right to elect to acquire the Property and/or Project pursuant to this Section 7.3.6.

As set forth in the Regulatory Agreement, the primary objective of the Project is to provide permanent supportive housing for People Experiencing Homelessness who are living, or have recently lived in the encampment specified in the City's ERF standard agreement with the State of California. Developer shall comply with this primary objective, provided that the City, in its sole and absolute discretion may authorize Developer to lease the Affordable Units to:
• People Experiencing Homelessness as defined above, who are not dwelling or have not recently dwelled in the specified encampment.
• If Affordable Units are available, and there are no eligible households who qualify as homeless, the City may approve use of the Affordable Units for those "at risk of homelessness" as defined under 24 Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) § 576.2 relating to the Emergency Solutions Grants Program and 24 C.F.R. § 578.3.
Another primary object of the Project is to provide supportive services to the residents.

There is no requirement to enter emergency, interim, or any other kind of shelter or housing in order to be eligible for the Affordable Units. Residents will not be required to participate in treatment or engage in services. Credit, financial history, rental history, and most criminal history will not affect application approval. Engagement will be promoted and nurtured but not "forced" upon residents. Drug and/or substance use will not be grounds for eviction or punishment. Motivational interviewing and client-centered counseling will be used in the Project. Non-judgmental and non-stigmatizing language will be used with all people involved in the Project.
The Developer will participate and comply with all Merced City and County Continuum of Care (CoC) written standards including those related to the Coordinated Entry System (CES) and the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) serving the Merced City and County CoC.
Project will be pet friendly. Both service animals and pets are welcome. The Project will be built with dog wash stations. Each unit will be secured so pets can be safely housed with the client.
Pet policies will be developed for the health and safety of all clients and animals. Dog relief area with supplies will be available.
