Consultant agrees to suspend and cease all operations hereunder during such period of time as the required insurance coverage is not in effect and evidence of insurance has not been furnished to the Town. The Town shall have the right to withhold any payment due Consultant until Consultant has fully complied with the insurance provisions of this Agreement. In the event that the Consultant's operations are suspended for failure to maintain required insurance coverage, the Consultant shall not be entitled to an extension of time for completion of the Services because of production lost during suspension.

Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to the Town for review.

3.2.10.11 Requirements Not Limiting.

Re: Scope of Work for Lease to Locals Program
The Lease to Locals Program was created to assist local jurisdictions and housing organizations in achieving the goal of increasing the inventory of rental homes available for moderate-income households working in their region. The program primarily uses an incentive of a one-time cash grant to encourage property owners to convert their underutilized vacation homes and short-term rentals into longer-term rentals for locally employed households.

Scope of Work
The following outlines the tasks that Placemate will complete to help administer the Lease to Locals Program for the Town of Mammoth Lakes.

Task 1: Program Qualification for Property Owners
Services provided to Property Owners:
(1) Placemate will assist Property Owners with qualification requirements for the Lease to Locals program and be their point of contact through the process of securing the incentive.
(2) For Property Owners who want to work with a Property Manager or find their own Tenants, Placemate will make reasonable efforts to ensure the Property Owner will qualify for the incentive by helping them or the Property Manager follow all of the requirements of the program
Task 2: Property Listing and Tenant Matching
Placemate will allow Property Owners and Property Managers to self-list their properties for free on Placemate’s website, which includes a unique URL with photos, property attributes, property description, and a way for interested and qualified local Tenants to

Page 146 of 229 ends

contact the Property Owner. Placemate will allow local Tenants to complete and update a renter profile that includes attributes such as gross income, employer name and location, and desired rental type(s).

Task 3: Program Marketing
Placemate will market the program to make sure the messaging is clear and understood, and reaches the target audience of Property Owners. These marketing activities will include a dedicated program phone number, building a custom webpage to entice and educate Property Owners about the incentive program and how they can qualify, and to provide an easy way for them to get in contact with a Placemate representative. Placemate will also purchase and manage print advertisements to reach the target Property Owner audience including but not limited to postcard mailers, advertisements in local media outlets, and other channels.

Task 4: Customer Service and Outreach
Placemate will respond to all inbound inquiries (from Property Owners, Property managers, and Tenants) via web, email, and phone, and compile feedback to use for modifications of the Program.

Task 5: Program Payments, Reporting, and Compliance
(a) Program Compliance: To process the grants, Placemate will provide the Town of Mammoth Lakes with:
● Signed copy of the lease agreement, signed by Property Owner/manager and Tenant(s)
● Signed application between the Property Owner and the Town of Mammoth Lakes
● W9 from the Property Owner
● Employment and Income documentation from Qualified Tenant(s) (b) Property Owner Payments
The Town of Mammoth Lakes will pay Property Owners half of the grant amount following lease start date (after Program application verification by Mammoth Lakes staff) and the other half of the grant upon completion of the lease, or one year, whichever occurs first.
(c) Compliance:

Mammoth Lakes Town Council
Agenda Action Sheet
Title: Conduct a public hearing to consider an amendment to the State CDBG grant for the Access Apartments project and an amendment to the Subrecipient Agreement with Mammoth Lakes Housing to administer the grant.

Council Meeting Date: 7/3/2024
Prepared by: Nolan Bobroff, Community and Economic Development Director Recommended Motion: Conduct the public hearing, receive public comment and input, and approve the resolution authorizing the amendments to the CDBG grant for the Access Apartments project and approve the amendments to the Subrecipient Agreement with Mammoth Lakes Housing to administer the grant.

Summary: The Town was awarded a $3,000,701 CDBG grant in April 2022 for the MLH Access Apartments project located at 238 Sierra Manor Road.1 Aside from the CDBG funding, MLH had secured a $4.2M HOME grant, a $2.2M commitment from the Town, a $600K commitment from Mono County, and various other funding commitments. The total budget for the project is approximately $10.7M. This project was originally envisioned as an 11-unit project (1-br units) with the units being affordable to households earning between 30% - 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) but was later reconfigured to be a 13-unit project (studio and 1-br units) with the units being affordable to households earning between 30% - 120% of the AMI.

Staff and MLH have been working with the State to close the CDBG and HOME financing loans for the project and through those conversations with the State, the State has proposed to shift the source of funding so that all State funding will come solely from the CDBG program through the Town, rather than through the separate CDBG and HOME grants. This will increase the Town’s CDBG award to approximately $7.2M, of which $7.1M will be new funding and $93K will be CDBG Program Income.
2 This shift of funding sources does not change the overall budget of the project or require any additional funding from the Town. The benefit of this shift is that there will only be one set of program requirements to comply with and this will allow for a higher number of the units to be restricted at the Moderate-Income (120%) AMI level, which will help the Town satisfy our State RHNA goals. This is significant since the Town has struggled to satisfy the Moderate Income (120% AMI) RHNA target due to funding source restrictions. The proposed AMI breakdown for the units will be (7) units restricted to 80% AMI and (6) units restricted to 120% AMI.

Summary of Proposed Amendments
The amendments being proposed to the Town’s CDBG grant include:
 Increase in CDBG funding from $3,000,701 to approximately $7,200,000, of which $92,832 is CDBG Program Income.
 Change in the unit count from 11 to 13 units
 Change in the beneficiaries to allow for a higher number of 120% AMI units (50% of the units are required to be provided to households below 80% AMI)  An extension for the expenditure deadline from December 6, 2025 to September 30, 2026

1 The project and grant are associated with Mammoth Lakes Housing (MLH), and not Eastern Sierra Community Housing (ESCH), since the name change occurred after all of the agreements for the project were executed.
2 CDBG Program Income are CDBG funds that are held locally by a jurisdiction that originate from the repayment of a CDBG loan. The funds can only be used for future CDBG projects and programs.

Page 163 of 229 ends

Proposed Amendments to the Subrecipient Agreement
In addition to the proposed grant amendments, the changes in the funding require amendments to the Subrecipient Agreement that the Town has with MLH to administer the grant. In the original agreement, the CDBG project funds were to be loaned to MLH and the Town and MLH were eligible to receive compensation for the general administration of the grant. The project funds were to be repaid over a 55-year period, but only in years where there was sufficient cash flow after all other expenses were paid (i.e., residual receipts). These repayment terms are typical in affordable housing projects and result in little to no payments being made over the life of the loan. This is especially true with smaller projects, such as this project, since there are fewer units paying rent. To streamline the future oversight of the project, it is being proposed that the CDBG funds will be granted to MLH for the project, rather than loaned to them. There will still be a regulatory agreement and covenant in place to ensure the units remain as affordable units for a 55-year term. The other amendments to the agreement include shifting all remaining general administration funds to the project and changing the unit count and beneficiaries throughout the agreement. The shift in the general administration funds was agreed to by MLH in exchange for the Town committing additional funding to the project in December 2023.

Purpose of the CDBG Public Hearing
This public hearing is intended to provide an opportunity for the Town Council and the public to discuss the proposed amendments to the CDBG grant for the project.

1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Title: Appeal of Enforcement Charges and Administrative Citations for TOT Enforcement at 246 Canyon Blvd Mammoth Lakes California 93546.

Meeting Date: July 3, 2024
Prepared by: Rob Patterson – Town Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

Make a finding of noncompliance with the Town of Mammoth Lakes Municipal Code and uphold the Notice of Determination amount due of $3,614.88 for TOT, tax fraud, penalties, interest, and enforcement charges. Judgement from the hearing officer for administrative citations is included in this amount.

BACKGROUND:

Chapter 3.12 of the Municipal Code established the Uniform Transient Occupancy Tax ordinance for the Town of Mammoth Lakes. This enforcement case is a zoning violation, meaning the operator is conducting business in an area not zoned for transient rental but is subject to the Municipal Code regarding the remittance of transient occupancy tax.

Enforcement of the Municipal Code is a primary function of the Revenue team to preserve a transparent and equitable business environment.

Section 5.04.110 - Evidence of conducting business.

When any person shall by use of any promotional media—including but not limited to print, audio, visual, or electronic media including websites, web marketing, advertising or promotional websites, social media, or traditional promotional methods, including but not limited to signs, circulars, bills, cards, telephone books, or newspapers—promote, market, advertise, hold out or represent that they or an entity they own, operate, manage, or control are in business in the town, or when any person holds an active license or permit issued by a governmental agency indicating that they are in business in the town, and such person fails to deny by a sworn statement given to the collector that they are not conducting a business in the town, after being requested to do so by the collector, then these facts shall be considered prima facie evidence that they are conducting a business in the town.

Additionally, the Town Municipal Code includes the Quality-of-Life Ordinance found in section 5.40 which regulates transient rentals and states:

5.40.020 - Permitted use.

Transient use of residential property shall be permitted as allowed by Title 17, Zoning.

Transient uses shall comply with all applicable codes including the California Building Code and the California Residential Code and local amendments.

Page 187 of 229 ends

2 3.12.310 – Violation-Penalty.

A. Any person, including any transient, who violates any of the provisions of this chapter shall be guilty of an infraction. Each such person shall be guilty of a separate offense for each and every day during any portion of which any violation of any provision of this chapter is committed, continued or permitted by such person, and may be punished accordingly. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the discretion of the district attorney or the town attorney, upon a showing of gravity of offense, any violation of any provision of this chapter may be prosecuted as a misdemeanor.

ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION:

March 2023, an online advertisement was identified by Town staff soliciting for transient rental in the Residential Single Family (RSF) zone. The advertisement had 3 reviews in the months of November 2022, December 2022, and January 2023.

April 2023, Town staff conducted a sting booking of the unit that was confirmed for a single night. The total paid for the booking was $488.25 and included line items for 13% tax, $59.00 in Property Damage Protection, and a $125.00 cleaning fee.

April 7, 2023, an initial administrative citation totaling $1,500.00 was sent both first class and certified mail to the address on file with the Mono County Assessor’s office. The administrative citation was also posted on the property. Instructions on the administrative citation clearly state to correct the violation the operator must, immediately cease advertising for transient rentals as well as renting the property on a transient basis. Cancel all future transient rentals. Pay in full past due transient occupancy tax, TBID, all fines, penalties, interest, and enforcement charges.

April 26, 2023, due to being unable to collect the online rental platform records and revenue statements for the time-period requested, an additional administrative citation for $3,000.00 was sent both first class and certified mail as well as posted on the property.

With the absence of actual rentals revenues available to Town staff, an assessment of owed transient occupancy tax, tax fraud, penalties, interest, administrative citations, and enforcement charges was conducted. The second citation and assessment were posted on the property.

October 2023, after continuing to work with the operator for over 5 months, Town staff was able to collect the online rental platform booking records and revenue statement.

Illegal transient rental activity was confirmed at the property for the months of November 2022, December 2022, and January 2023, totaling $3,902.00. A Notice of Determination (NOD) was issued totaling $5,864.88.

January 10, 2024, an appeal of the administrative citations was requested by the operator and conducted by Hearing Officer Haislip Hayes. The Hearing Officer found it prudent to reduce the administrative citations from $4,500.00 to $2,250.00.

January 18, 2024, a Notice of Determination was issued reflecting the Hearing Officers findings. The details of the final NOD issued are below.

Page 188 of 229 ends

3 OPTIONS ANALYSIS
Option 1: Make a finding of noncompliance with the Town of Mammoth Lakes Municipal Code and uphold the Notice of Determination and judgement of the administrative citation hearing officer in the amount of $3,614.88.

Option 2: Make alternate findings and direct Town staff accordingly.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

The Town of Mammoth Lakes relies on transient occupancy tax for more than 60% of its General Fund, without which it would not be able to provide services such as snow removal, recreation programming, and road maintenance. Operators of illegal transient rental properties are not only failing to contribute funds necessary for the Mammoth Lakes community to thrive but are taking away potential business from operators who are following the Town laws. To waive penalties, interest, enforcement charges, and/or administrative citations routinely would result in a significant loss of revenue and likely increase tax collection efforts and enforcement difficulties.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS:

The Town’s Municipal Code does not authorize the Tax Collector to waive or reduce tax, penalties, interest, enforcement charges, or administrative citations that is due to the Town.

The Town Council is acting in a semi-judiciary capacity and may reduce, increase or amend the recommendation of the Tax Collector.

1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Title: Authorize Purchase and Sale Agreement with Mammoth Lakes Foundation to purchase real property located at 100 College Parkway.

Meeting Date: July 3, 2024
Prepared by: Rob Patterson – Town Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the Town Council authorize the Town Manager to execute a purchase and sale agreement with Mammoth Lakes Foundation (MLF) for the acquisition of real property located at 100 College Parkway.

BACKGROUND:

For the past several years the Mammoth Lakes Foundation, Town of Mammoth Lakes, Mammoth Lakes Recreation and numerous other individuals and non-profits have worked to bring forward the Mammoth Arts and Cultural Center (MACC). This project envisioned several elements including the ongoing use of Edison Hall, a new Performing Arts Theater, an outdoor amphitheater, and potential for artists in residence space. The project has been scaled back over time to meet the financial realities of construction and operational costs.

The Town and the Foundation have continued to work together to bring a viable facility to completion. The work has been supported by Mammoth Lakes Recreation (MLR) using Measure U funding, and commitment of funding for the future project. The efforts of the Foundation and Town over the last two years have moved the project forward and we are moving towards a planned groundbreaking for the project this summer (2024).

The performing arts component of the project was re-envisioned to construct a new performing arts auditorium connected to Edison Hall. The use of Edison Hall reduced the need for additional ‘back of house’ space in the new facility. The layout provides for a 242+/- seat performing arts auditorium (or the theater). The concept does not include the full “fly” space for a full theater concept but is designed to accommodate a mix of users and types of performances. MLF is proceeding with the necessary remodel of Edison Hall, scheduled for completion in late September 2024. The final design and construction drawings for the new space are completed with construction estimates matching the identified funding. The Town will be managing the construction of the new facility. The layout of the facility will require additional coordination with other project work and partners to accommodate traffic flow and parking.

To achieve the planned project the Town and MLF have been in negotiations for the Town to acquire approximately 8 acres of land. The site includes the planned Theater project, a childcare facility, the amphitheater, a dog park, a 40-space parking lot, and a new restroom.

With the exception of the amphitheater, all other projects are under way as Town capital

Page 196 of 229 ends

2 improvement projects on this space. The acquisition of the land is crucial for the success of these existing projects as well as the construction and operations of the MACC under Town ownership.

ANALYSIS:

The negotiation for the purchase of the property, 7.94 acres located at 100 College Parkway, has a number of important elements that will provide additional funding for the MACC construction as well as provide for ongoing operations of MLF in their primary role of education and student scholarships. The attached Purchase and Sale Agreement with related exhibits, contains a detailed description of each of these elements, the process for any conflict resolution, and legal remedies for each party. There are elements of the agreement that have significant risk to the Town, like the requirement to build the MACC, no matter the construction cost, or longer-term elements, up to 50 years for MLF’s use of space in Edison Hall. The Town staff and representatives from MLF have been negotiating to work through differences and ensure their respective party’s position as well as agreeable remedies are clearly defined. There are no aspects of the agreement that remain unresolved to the satisfaction of each party.

The summary below is not intended to contain the legal language around each element but intended to highlight key deal points of the purchase and sale agreement for ease of understanding.

1. The purchase price for the land is $4,500,000.

2. MLF will contribute $3,500,000 to the Town to be used to offset MACC construction costs.

3. The Town shall assume the agreement with Kern Community College District (KCCD). KCCD has agreed to contribute $7,500,000 to the construction of the MACC.

4. MLF will continue the Edison Hall improvements until completion. This project is expected to be completed by September 30, 2024. In the event the project is not completed by this date, the Town has the right to waive the completion of the improvements and work with MLF to determine the value of the incomplete work on the improvements and deduct that value from the purchase price.

5. In the event that Item 4 is executed, the Town shall have the obligation to complete the improvements to the Edison Hall.

6. The closing date of the purchase will be not later than 30 days after the completion of the Edison Hall Improvements or after a mutual agreement has been reached on the value of incomplete work, reducing the purchase price.

7. The Town shall assume MLF’s contract with HMC Architects for the design of the MACC.

8. The Town is required to construct the MACC as a conventionally constructed structure, not a tensile fabric structure as part of this agreement.

Page 197 of 229 ends

3 9. MLF shall have specific use rights to Edison Hall for continued operations of their core activities. These use rights are in consideration for the value the Town receives from the transaction, both land value and contribution to MACC construction costs.

The specifics of these use rights will be outlined in a separate lease agreement between the Town and MLF. A brief summary is listed below:
a. Exclusive access to two office spaces and non-exclusive use of one additional office for the term of 50 years.
b. MLF shall have non-exclusive access to all common areas located on the property.
c. MLF shall have exclusive access to the MACC for up to six weekend days or evenings, and six weekday or evenings, to accommodate activities which support education and arts.

10. The name of the facility shall be “Dave and Roma Arts and Cultural Center” and a “donor wall” to commemorate significant contributions made for the construction or ongoing operations of the facility, will be included on an interior wall.

11. The Town shall maintain the current zoning of the property or grant a similar option to MLF on adjoining property remaining in its possession, any zoning adjustments that increase the use and value of the property.

CONCLUSION:

This transaction represents a great benefit for our community with the construction of these vital assets. The Town considers this site to be a community hub that will greatly enhance the experience of both residents and visitors. For those benefits, the Town will be entering into financial obligations to operate the facility in the future. MLF will no longer be involved in the operation of the facility and will continue its core mission of education in our community. The mission and activities of MLF have demonstrated their commitment to the success of these endeavors and their generous contributions in this agreement have made this a reality.

R E C I T A L S
A. MLF owns the real property located at 100 College Parkway, in Mammoth Lakes, California, consisting of APN 035-010-049-000 ("Property").

Subject to Town’s rights pursuant to Section 4(a), MLF shall complete the Improvements to Edison Hall no later than September 30, 2024 (the “Improvements Completion Deadline”).

(a) Completion of Edison Hall Improvements. MLF shall have completed the Improvements to Edison Hall. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Improvements have not been completed by the Improvements Completion Deadline, Town may, in its sole discretion, waive the completion of the Improvements as a condition precedent to Closing on behalf of both Parties (“Town’s Waiver Right”). Town shall notify MLF in writing of its exercise of Town’s Waiver Right. In that event, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the value of the incomplete work on the Improvements, and the Closing shall occur following mutual agreement by the Parties regarding the amount of such reduction. MLF hereby grants to Town and its employees, agents, and contractors a license to enter Edison Hall and adjacent portions of the Property commencing on September 23, 2024 and continuing until the completion of the Improvements, for purposes of inspecting the progress of the Improvements. (b) Performance by MLF.

Page 200 of 229 ends

3 Improvements to Edison Hall, or (ii) the Parties have reached mutual agreement regarding the reduced Purchase Price following Town’s exercise of Town’s Waiver Right. (b) Funds to be Delivered by Town. On or before the Closing Date, Town shall deliver to MLF immediately available funds in the amount equal to the sum of: (i) the Purchase Price, plus (ii) any costs or prorations chargeable to Town under this Agreement.

(e) Events Subsequent to Closing. Upon delivery of the funds and documents pursuant to Section 5(b) and Section 5(c), Town shall record the Grant Deed.

Section 6. MLF Capital Contribution. MLF shall contribute $3,500,000 to Town, to be used to offset MACC construction costs, upon Town’s issuance of a solicitation of bids for construction of the MACC, or on the Closing Date, whichever occurs later. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude MLF from undertaking additional fundraising efforts or contributing a greater amount to Town for construction or operation of the MACC at any time.

Section 7. Assignment and Assumption of Kern Community College District Agreement.

To the extent legally permissible and mutually beneficial, MLF shall assign to Town, and Town shall assume, MLF's agreement with Kern Community College District ("KCCD"), by which KCCD has agreed to transfer $7,500,000.00 to MLF toward the construction of the MACC. If the assignment is not legally permissible and mutually beneficial, then MLF shall obtain the funds from KCCD pursuant to the agreement and transfer the funds to Town as soon as is practicable, but in no event later than Town’s award of a contract for construction of the MACC (which the Parties acknowledge may occur subsequent to the Closing Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that KCCD’s participation and consent will be required for the assignment by MLF and assumption by Town of the KCCD agreement and the disbursement of funds, and no delay in MLF’s performance of its obligations under this paragraph shall constitute a breach of this Agreement by MLF if MLF is attempting to comply in good faith but KCCD has not yet consented or disbursed funds.

Section 8. Assignment of HMC Architects Contract for MACC. To the extent legally permissible and mutually beneficial, MLF shall assign, and Town shall assume, MLF's contract with HMC Architects for design services related to the MACC, including without limitation the rights to all architectural plans and specifications produced for the MACC. If the assignment is not legally permissible and mutually beneficial, then MLF shall authorize Town to manage the

Page 201 of 229 ends

4 HMC contract on MLF's behalf and, upon completion of the MACC, shall transfer to Town the rights to all architectural plans and specifications produced for the MACC. Town shall provide regular project updates to MLF regarding the MACC.

Section 9. Construction of the MAAC. After the Closing and as soon as practical after its solicitation of bids, Town shall secure all entitlements and permits required to construct the MACC as a conventionally constructed structure (i.e. not a tensile fabric structure) attached to Edison Hall, in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Town as they may be amended, shall commence construction of the MACC reasonably promptly thereafter, and shall proceed with the construction with its best efforts and due diligence until completion, subject to delays due to weather and other causes outside Town’s control.

Section 10. MLF's Use of Edison Hall. As additional consideration for the sale of the Property to Town and MLF’s satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, until either (i) MLF ceases to remain in good standing with the California Secretary of State as a non-profit public benefit corporation or as a comparable non-profit successor entity; or (ii) 50 years have elapsed from the Closing Date, MLF shall have the right to use the Property, Edison Hall, and the MACC as follows:
(a) MLF shall have exclusive access and use rights to two office spaces in Edison Hall, and non-exclusive access and use rights to one office space in Edison Hall, to accommodate no more than three people who are employees of or volunteers for MLF while actually engaged in volunteering for MLF, as identified in Exhibit D or as the parties may agree upon in writing, and shall own and maintain the FF&E within those offices as the FF&E exist as of the Effective Date.

Nothing herein shall obligate Town to replace the FF&E. For avoidance of doubt, “exclusive access and use rights” shall mean the sole right to access and use the designated office spaces and store and secure documents and materials therein. “Non-exclusive access” shall mean the right to access and use the designated office space and store and secure documents and materials therein, subject to Town’s right to allow others to use such spaces at any time of day (or on any day) when the spaces are not actually being occupied by employees or contractors of MLF. MLF shall arrange and pay for its own telephone and Internet access. In addition, if MLF consumes other utility services, including without limitation water, propane, and electricity, at a rate that is excessive and unreasonable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith for MLF to reimburse Town for the cost of such services.
(b) MLF shall have non-exclusive access and use rights, including the keys commonly provided to Town employees, to all common areas located on the Property and within Edison Hall, including the parking lot(s), external pathways, internal hallways, meeting rooms, restrooms, storage areas, the kitchen, the common area FF&E, and all public WIFI services, provided that Town shall have no obligation to clean or maintain the offices used by MLF, and Town’s snow removal activities on the Property shall be as determined by Town; (c) MLF shall have exclusive access to the MACC for up to six weekend days and/or evenings per year and for up to six weekdays and/or weekday evenings per year, to accommodate fundraising events, live performances, student orientation, graduation and scholarship ceremonies, and other activities which support education and the arts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MLF shall not have access to the MACC on any federally recognized or state-recognized holiday or the

Page 202 of 229 ends

5 day after any such holiday. MLF shall request each such date of access as far in advance as is practicable, and in no event fewer than 60 days prior to the requested date of access. Town may reject a request for any specific date based on conflicts with other events and activities scheduled for the MACC by Town, but shall endeavor to work with MLF to find mutually acceptable substitute dates.
(d) MLF’s rights pursuant to this Section 9 are personal to MLF, and may not be delegated, assigned, or sublet. All such rights shall be exercised as authorized or directed by the MLF board of directors as a whole. MLF may not sublet any space in Edison Hall or allow any third party to make use of MLF’s rights to use the MACC, except as part of an event organized by MLF and for which MLF is primarily responsible.
(e) In the event that Edison Hall is no longer habitable, including without limitation due to damage, deterioration, or destruction, Town shall provide comparable replacement space to MLF for the remainder of the term set forth in this Section 9. (f) The Parties shall memorialize the rights and obligations set forth in this Section 10 in a lease agreement, which shall be executed prior to the Closing and take effect upon the Closing.

Section 11. Naming Rights and Donor Wall. Town agrees that upon completion of construction, the MACC shall be named the "Dave and Roma McCoy Arts and Cultural Center." The Town and MLF shall also agree upon the location, design, and content of a "donor wall" within the MACC, which lists the names of individuals and entities that have made (or will make) significant financial contributions to the construction and/or operation of the MACC, including but not limited to the Town, KCCD, MLF, and the Tambour Foundation. MLF shall be solely responsible for the cost of the donor wall, including any information or displays attached thereto.

For purposes of this paragraph, “donor wall” refers only to a decorative and informational fixture attached to an interior wall of the MACC, not to the interior wall itself or any other structural component of the MACC.

Section 12. Display of McCoy Memorabilia. As long as MLF grants its permission, the MACC and/or Edison Hall shall house for public display items from the McCoy family's collection of art, photographs, artifacts, writings, and other memorabilia. The items to be displayed, and the location(s) in which they will be displayed, shall be agreed upon by and between the Parties, and may be changed from time to time upon agreement of the Parties. MLF shall be responsible to maintain the McCoy Memorabilia in cooperation with the Town. The Parties agree that the Town may also display rotating collections of works by local artists within Edison Hall and the MACC.

Town shall not be liable or otherwise responsible for loss or damage to any item of McCoy Memorabilia, shall not be obligated to insure against such loss or damage, and no claim shall be made against any policy of insurance or self-insurance maintained by Town in the event of loss or damage.

Section 13. Restrictive Covenant Regarding Rezoning of the Property. MLF acknowledges that Town possesses the authority, pursuant to Title 7 of the California Government Code, to determine the permissible uses of the Property. Town acknowledges that the Purchase Price and

Page 203 of 229 ends

6 other consideration for the Property have been determined with respect to the zoning and permitted uses of the Property as of the Effective Date, rather than with respect to any hypothetical zoning or permitted uses that could increase the value of the Property. Accordingly, the Parties agree that the Grant Deed for the Property shall contain a restrictive covenant prohibiting the Town from rezoning the Property unless Town concurrently and identically or similarly rezones MLF's neighboring property located at 10 Wagon Wheel Drive and bearing Mono County APN 035-010- 052-000, unless MLF notifies Town that it does not wish some or all of its remaining property to be rezoned. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, MLF shall have the ongoing right to independently apply to change the zoning of 10 Wagon Wheel Drive at any time.

Section 14. Condition of Property. Town and its representatives, prior to the date of Closing, will have been afforded the opportunity to make such inspections of the Property and related matters as Town and its representatives may desire. Town acknowledges and agrees that the Property is to be accepted by Town in an "as is" condition with all faults. MLF makes no representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever, either express or implied, with respect to the Property; in particular, but without limitation, MLF makes no representations or warranties with respect to the use, condition, title, occupation or management of the Property, or compliance with applicable statutes, laws, codes, ordinances, regulations, requirements, covenants, conditions and restrictions (whether or not of record), or the physical, environmental, and/or geotechnical condition of the Property. Town acknowledges that it is entering into this Agreement on the basis of Town's own investigation of the physical and environmental conditions of the Property, including the subsurface conditions, and Town assumes the risk that adverse physical and environmental conditions may not have been revealed by its investigation. Town acknowledges that notwithstanding any prior or contemporaneous oral or written representations, statements, documents or understandings, this Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to its subject matter and the purchase and sale of the Property and supersedes any such prior or contemporaneous oral or written representations, statements, documents or understandings.

Section 15. Default and Remedies.
(a) MLF’s Remedies. If Town fails to complete the Closing as contemplated by this Agreement, or if Town defaults under the terms of this Agreement, and such default continues for more than 30 days following MLF’s notice to Town of such default, then MLF shall have the right to exercise one of the following remedies (such decision to be in MLF’s sole discretion): (i) MLF shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of such termination to Town, in which case, Town shall promptly return to MLF (and/or KCCD, as appropriate) the full amount of any contributions that MLF has made or assigned to Town, as referred to in Sections 6 and 7 above, MLF may require Town to remove all improvements that it has installed on the Property and restore the Property as close as reasonably feasible to its condition prior to the Effective Date, and neither Party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, except for any that expressly survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement; or (ii) MLF shall have the right to institute and prosecute an action to compel specific performance of this Agreement against Town.

Page 204 of 229 ends

7 (b) Town’s Remedies. If the Closing fails to occur due to a default by MLF under this Agreement, and such default continues for more than 30 days following Town’s notice to MLF of such default, then Town shall have the right to exercise one of the following remedies (such decision to be in Town’s sole discretion): (i) Town shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of such termination to MLF, in which case, neither Party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, except for any that expressly survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement; or (ii) Town shall have the right to institute and prosecute an action to compel specific performance of this Agreement against MLF. (c) No Other Remedies. MLF and Town acknowledge that their respective rights and remedies resulting from a default under this Agreement by the other Party shall be limited to those set forth in Section 15(a) and Section 15(b) above and Section 15(d) below, and all other rights and remedies that may be available to MLF or Town at law or in equity are hereby waived; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit a Party’s remedies with respect to any obligations or liabilities of the other Party that survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, neither Party shall be liable for any other remedies, including any claims for any other damages, including, without limitation, additional compensatory damages, special damages, consequential damages (including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, delay, changes in market conditions, etc.) or punitive damages, based upon any breach or default under this Agreement or any other act, error or omission by a Party. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon an exercise by MLF of its right to terminate this Agreement as described above, MLF and Town shall negotiate in good faith for a sale, lease, license, or other form of right allowing Town to occupy and use the Property or a portion thereof for purposes including without limitation the construction and maintenance of improvements thereon generally consisting of a dog park and childcare center.

EXHIBIT "A"
The Property is situated in the Town of Mammoth Lakes, County of Mono, and State of California and is described as follows:

Page 218 of 229 ends

Exhibit C
EXHIBIT "B"
The conveyance of the Property is made subject to the following Restrictive Covenant:

A. WHEREAS, Grantee has the authority, pursuant to Title 7 of the California Government Code, to determine the permissible uses of the Property.

B. WHEREAS, Grantor and Grantee have agreed upon the purchase price and other consideration for the Property based upon the zoning and permitted uses of the Property as of the date of Grantor's execution of this Grant Deed, rather than with respect to any hypothetical zoning or permitted uses that could increase the value of the Property.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and covenants in this Grant Deed, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which Grantor and Grantee acknowledge, Grantor declares as follows:

1. LIMITATION ON THE REZONING OF THE PROPERTY. Grantee shall be prohibited from rezoning the Property unless Grantee concurrently and identically or similarly rezones Grantor's neighboring property located at 10 Wagon Wheel Drive and bearing Mono County APN 035- 010-052-000 (the MLF Property"). The terms of this Restrictive Covenant shall not apply, however, if at any time, Grantor notifies Town in writing that it does not wish to rezone any or all of the MLF Property.

2. COVENANT TO RUN WITH THE LAND. Grantor declares its express intent that the terms of this Restrictive Covenant shall run with the Property and shall bind all successors and assigns.

Each and every contract, deed, or other instrument hereafter executed covering or conveying the Property or any portion thereof shall be held conclusively to have been executed, delivered, and accepted subject to such covenants, conditions, and restrictions, regardless of whether such covenants, conditions or restrictions are set forth in such contract, deed or instrument. All of the provisions of this Restrictive Covenant shall be enforceable as equitable servitudes and shall constitute covenants running with the land pursuant to applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 1468 of the California Civil Code. Each covenant of these Deed Restrictions to do, or refrain from doing, some act on the Property hereunder: (a) is a burden on and is for the benefit of the Property; (b) runs with the Property; (c) is binding on Grantee and each successive owner of the Property during its or their ownership thereof; and (d) shall be a benefit to and burden on each of Grantor and Grantee and each successive owner of the Property, and each other person or entity succeeding in or to an interest in or to the Property.

3. TERM; AMENDMENT. This Restrictive Covenant shall be effective upon the recordation of this Grant Deed in the Official Records of Mono County, and shall run with the Property for the maximum period permitted under the laws of the State of California, unless sooner terminated or amended pursuant to the terms of any subsequent written instrument executed by Grantor and Grantee which is recorded in the chain of title to the Property in the Official Records of Mono County, California.

Mammoth Lakes Town Council
Agenda Action Sheet
Title: Update of draft Official Ballot Language – 2% Transient Occupancy Tax Increase
Council Meeting Date: 7/3/2024
Prepared by: Rob Patterson, Town Manager
Recommended Motion: Town Council will receive a presentation of the updated draft official ballot language for the 2% Transient Occupancy Tax increase and provide direction to staff in developing the final language for adoption in July.

Summary: Staff continues to work with our Consultant, Team CivX, on the development of the official ballot question. This initiative is a general tax which requires our comments to remain general, in support of a general tax initiative. The proceeds of the tax cannot be designated for anything but general fund obligations and therefore must remain consistent in that messaging. The Town Council provided input on concerns with the existing language and each of those items were addressed. The largest change was the inclusion of the incremental tax expected rather than the total tax which serves to remove confusion inherent in the previous language. The Town also made edits that would reduce conflict with the Mammoth Lakes Fire Protection District (MLFPD) initiative which is also expected to be on the fall ballot. Language around wildfire mitigation was removed, in spite of the fact the Town provides some support to Whitebark on the ESCCRP project which also fits into that category. The language was switched to disaster preparedness which has direct ties to the impacts of last winter’s storms on our community. The Town also finished the After-Action Review of our response to that emergency, which outlined a number of steps the Town will need to take. This all fits nicely while coordinating with the MLFPD and removing conflicts. The new draft language is listed below:

To support general town services — without increasing taxes on Mammoth Lakes residents — such as providing affordable workforce housing to sustain the local economy, supporting public safety, enhancing disaster preparedness, repairing roads, improving recreation amenities and supporting snow removal, shall the Town of Mammoth Lakes' measure increasing the transient occupancy tax by 2% be adopted, generating approximately $4,000,000 annually until ended by voters, paid only by hotel and short- term rental guests, with annual audits and all funds staying local?
In addition to the ballot question, the Town is working on a mailer / survey that will be mailed prior to the July 3
rd meeting. This mailer draft, attached for your review, provides more specific examples of how the revenues will support the community.

The Town does not need to have a first and second reading of the ordinance adopted in July. The approval to move forward with this ballot measure only requires a resolution from the Town Council which will be provided at the July 17th meeting. The Ordinance component is required once the initiative passes by voters, so we have time to get that completed.

Para obtener más información en español sobre los planes de Page 222 of 229 Mammoth Lakes para nuestro pueblo, mire en la parte posterior Mammoth Lakes is renowned for its stunning natural beauty, vibrant community, and high quality of life. Our town offers unparalleled access to year‑round recreational activities, a thriving arts scene, and diverse local services, making it a wonderful place to live, work, and play.

Lack of Housing Access Is Putting a Strain on Our Local Economy While Mammoth Lakes thrives as a premier destination, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, the town and its residents face growing challenges, particularly around affordability for working families. The rising cost of housing has made it difficult for many residents and workers to live in the town where they work. Initiatives like “Housing Now!” and The Parcel Project have made great strides toward housing solutions that support our local workforce and community, but neither have a reliable funding source.

Disaster Preparedness and Public Infrastructure
Are Also Local Priorities
Roads, sidewalks, public trails, parks, and open
spaces require regular repair for residents and
visitors to safely enjoy the various recreational
opportunities available in our community. The
longer that road and public infrastructure repairs
go unaddressed, the more expensive they are
to complete, causing both financial and safety
concerns. Finally, with the growing threat of
extreme weather, wildfires and unpredictable
climate as our new normal, resources are needed
to ensure we are prepared when disaster strikes.

Potential Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) Measure Could Fund Town Services Without Increasing Taxes on Mammoth Lakes Residents To address these challenges and continue dedicated, local funding for essential town services, the Town of Mammoth Lakes is considering placing a measure on the ballot this fall that would increase the existing TOT — paid only by hotel and shortterm rental guests — by 2%. A 2% TOT increase would generate an additional $4 million annually, contributing to a total amount of $30 million per year, which could be used to support essential town services, including:

Providing affordable housing for our local workforce, allowing teachers, nurses, and hospitality workers to live in the community they serve Maintaining public trails, parks, and open spaces to ensure these areas remain safe, beautiful, and accessible for recreational activities Enhancing public safety by ensuring our
emergency services are well funded and
have the resources they need
Improving disaster preparedness and
response by equipping our town with
the necessary resources to prevent
and address increasingly destructive
disaster threats such as winter storms
leading to structural damage and
propane line explosions
Repairing roads, maintaining sidewalks,
and continuing to fund high-quality
snow removal equipment to promote
safe and efficient movement throughout
the community of Mammoth Lakes
Key Features & Accountability Provisions of the Potential Measure The potential measure would include fiscal accountability protections to ensure funds are spent as intended, such as:

Local Control: By law, all funds must be spent only here in Mammoth Lakes supporting essential town services — nothing could be taken by the State or other communities.

Visitor Funded: Local residents would not bear the cost. The TOT is paid only by visitors staying in hotels and short-term rentals.

Transparency: All funds raised from the TOT would be subject to independent annual audits and public disclosure to ensure they are used effectively and as intended.

Please rate the importance of the following priorities for our town: HIGH MEDIUM LOW Providing affordable housing for our local workforce, allowing teachers, nurses, and hospitality workers to live in the community they serve 


Maintaining public trails, parks, and open spaces to ensure these areas remain safe, beautiful, and accessible for recreational activities 

In 2002, as I recall, we had a general tax measure on TOT, & it passed, partly because Kirk Stapp stood outside the PO each day & stressed the need for "tourism, housing, & transportation". I think it passed as it was widely advised as an "advisory tax", & that helped it to pass! Thanks, Sandy
