loop system and does not require the applicators to triple rinse and discard the containers into the trash. This reduces the City’s environmental footprint.
Modesto Municipal Code Section 8-3.204 generally requires all purchases, in excess of fifty thousand dollars $50,000 to follow formal bid procedures. However, MMC 8-3.204(b) provides that a purchase may be exempted from the City’s formal bidding requirement where the Purchasing Agency’s requirements can be met solely by a single article or process.
Additionally, the purchase of the weed abatement chemical premix from Nutrien Ag Solutions should be exempt from the formal bidding procedure in accordance with Modesto Municipal Code 8-3.204(b) because Nutrien Ag Solutions is the sole proprietor vendor that is able to provide the weed abatement chemical premix. Therefore, this purchase qualifies for exemption from the formal bidding procedures.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:
October 25, 2022

THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: DeAnna Christensen, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: May and June 2022 Grant Application and Awards CONTACT: Maria Garnica, Accounting Manager, [email protected] 209-577-5249
DESCRIPTION:
Consider accepting an informational report on the May and June 2022 grant applications and awards. (Funding Source: Not Applicable)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
This item supports the City of Modesto 2020-2025 Strategic Plan focus of Governance and Service Delivery under Goal H: Achieve Financial Sustainability.
BACKGROUND:
The Finance Department coordinated with California Consulting to update the Administrative Directive 7.2, “Grant Management.” The revised directive was updated on July 1, 2021 to streamline the grant management process and to establish better controls on local match requirements, including potential future costs which could be required as part of a grant agreement. Additionally, the Finance Department coordinated several training sessions to highlight key changes to the new directive.
This directive has eliminated the requirement to go to Council for the application and acceptance of grant awards if the amount of the grant is less than $1,000,000 and does not require any local match funding. The Director of Finance is authorized to approve grant applications and awards under $25,000 with no local funding requirements. The City Manager has the authority for approving grant applications and awards between $25,000 and under $1,000,000 with no local match funding requirements. Due to the need for quick turnaround on grant application and award acceptance required by the granting agencies, this directive allows for City departments to apply for more grants within the grant application periods and provide quick response to award acceptance deadlines.

no longer in service or does not meet current standards. The deadline to accept the grant is December 1, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is a 50% required local match for the Cal Fire RFC Program Grant. The awarded amount is $19,900, which requires a $19,900 local match. The department would fund the match within its adopted budget. Due to the critical need of replacing critical firefighting equipment, the department would prioritize funding within existing budget for the match. The equipment identified in the grant application has been identified as needing replacement; without this grant the Fire Department will bear the cost of the full $39,800.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This item was presented to the Safety and Communities Committee at the October 10, 2022 meeting and was recommended to forward to Council for approval.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:
October 25, 2022
Date: September 5, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Scott Conn, Chief Information Officer
SUBJECT: CivicPlus Modesto Website Hosting Renewal
CONTACT: Scott Conn, Chief Information Officer
[email protected], 209-577-5229
DESCRIPTION:
Consider approval of a Sole Source Renewal Agreement with CivicPlus for continued, uninterrupted hosting and maintenance of the City’s website for a four-year term for a total amount not to exceed $164,285. (Funding Source: Information Technology Fund) STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
This item is consistent with the City’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan to promote trust and engagement with the community and directly supports the Smart City Strategy adopted in 2021.
BACKGROUND:
The City’s website is available to employees and the public 24-hours per day, 7-days per week, 365-days per year and is utilized as the major information dissemination vehicle for residents and non-residents alike. That agreement is nearing completion and as the City has been satisfied with the hosting services supplied by CivicPlus, desires to renew the agreement for an additional four-year term.
DISCUSSION:
As part of this renewal agreement, CivicPlus has agreed to work with our IT and Community & Media Relations team to continue re-designing our website over time to make it easier to find topics of greatest interest and to navigate using a single button click to logical places where desired information should be located.
The renewal includes the addition of two new website editing modules, Design Center Pro and CivicOptimize. Design Center Pro will help facilitate the redesign of the existing site and allow staff to directly control and make desired design updates throughout the 4-year term of the agreement. CivicOptimize will allow staff to create and implement new electronic routable and #12..

City Council, October 25, 2022
CivicPlus Modesto Website Hosting Renewal
signable forms within the website designed to replace the current paper-based forms which must be downloaded and manually processed by residents and City staff alike.
The contingency of 10%, in the amount of $14,935, is recommended as a safeguard to cover unanticipated website-related costs such as new security requirements, additional update implementation work, training, and consulting.
Modesto Municipal Code Section 8-3.203 generally requires all purchases, which meet or exceed $50,000 for material, equipment, or contractual services to be formally bid. However, Staff believes the renewal of this agreement with CivicPlus should be exempt from the formal bidding process in accordance with Modesto Municipal Code 8-3.204(b) since they are the sole provider of this already implemented and ongoing service. MMC 8-3.204(b) provides that a purchase may be exempted from the City’s formal bidding requirement where the Purchasing Agency’s requirements can be met solely by a single article or process.
The alternative to renewing with CivicPlus involves creation of a new external website Request For Proposal (RFP) to essentially obtain the identical services currently provided by CivicPlus.
Such an effort would engage significant City staff time and negate the approximately $34,500 in price reductions negotiated between the City and CivicPlus for this staff recommended renewal.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Under the renewal agreement, the financial impact for hosting, maintenance, security protection, implementation and training, and ongoing website optimization services will be as follows:
Annual Fee One-time Cost Total Comments
Year 1 $ 33,687 $ 8,101 $ 41,788
One-time charges for implementation and training on Design Center Pro and CivicOptimize
Year 2 $ 34,697 $ 158 $ 34,855 One-time charges for biennial security certification Year 3 $ 35,739 $ - $ 35,739 No one-time charges - regular hosting fees and maintenance Year 4 $ 36,810 $ 158 $ 36,968 One-time charges for biennial security certification 10% Contingency $ 14,093 $ 842 $ 14,935 Safeguard to cover unanticipated costs throughout term Totals = $ 155,026 $ 9,259 $ 164,285
This will not impact the current 2022-23 fiscal year nor subsequent years as this is sourced through the existing Information Technology Internal Service Fund (ISF) balance and will be included in the annual Information Technology ISF allocation.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This item was considered by the Finance Committee on September 26, 2022 and was recommended to forward to Council for approval.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff Recommendations:
Resolution approving the Sole Source Agreement with CivicPlus for the continued, uninterrupted hosting and maintenance of the City of Modesto’s website (www.modestogov.com) for a four-year term at an amount of $149,350 plus a 10% contingency in the amount of $14,935 for a total amount not to exceed $164,285; and authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the Agreement.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:
October 25, 2022
Date: October 5, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: William Wong, Director of Utilities
SUBJECT: Accept Del Rio Tank No. 14, Well No. 68, and Pump Station Project CONTACT: Pete Kambel, Senior Civil Engineer, [email protected] 209-577-5444 DESCRIPTION:
Consider accepting the Del Rio Tank No. 14, Well No. 68, and Pump Station Project as complete, authorizing all necessary steps to file with the County Recorder, releasing securities, and releasing payments totaling $10,203,691 to Mountain Cascade, Inc., of Livermore, CA. (Funding Source: Water Fund-CIP)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the 2020-2025 City of Modesto Strategic Plan Initiatives, Goal D: Provide safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance, and sustainability efforts.
BACKGROUND:
This project constructed a 0.25 million-gallon steel water tank, a 1,000 gallon-per-minute well production pump, a 2.45 million gallon-per-day booster pump station, a 1.4-acre-foot retention basin, and a 16-inch transmission main installation from the intersection of St. John Road and Country Club Drive, south to Ladd Road, where it ties into the tank site. The project increased service reliability, corrected existing supply and pressure deficiencies of the City’s Del Rio water system, located northwest of the Modesto city limits. The project site is located at 718 Ladd Road on approximately 4 acres just southeast of the intersection of Ladd Road and St. Johns Road.
The City was obligated to provide this improvement by January 31, 2014, in accordance with the amended terms of a Settlement Agreement between the City and the Del Rio Community Association. Project delays occurred due to litigation, while staff continued to work with the Del Rio Community Association to extend the deadline.
In consideration of the Settlement Agreement with the Del Rio Community Association and the City’s obligation to complete the recommended improvements to meet the existing Del Rio water #13..

system needs, staff moved forward with final design of the Del Rio Tank 14, Well 68 and Pump Station Project in the summer of 2017.
On October 3, 2017, by Resolution No. 2017-390, Council approved a first amendment with North Star Engineering Group for final design services for the Del Rio Tank 14, Well 68 and Pump Station Project. At that same meeting, by Resolution No. 2017-391, Council accepted the Preliminary Design Report that generated the design.
DISCUSSION:
The project was advertised for bids on April 3, 2018. Bids were publicly opened on May 15, 2018, pursuant to Modesto Municipal Code section 8-3.403 and City Charter Section 1307. Three bids were received, and Mountain Cascade, Inc., of Livermore, CA, was the apparent lowest bidder at
7.31% below the engineer’s estimate.
On October 2, 2018, by Resolution No. 2018-432, Council awarded a contract to Mountain Cascade, Inc., of Livermore, CA, for the construction of the Del Rio Tank No. 14, Well No. 68, and Pump Station project in the amount of $8,111,702. The contractor received the Notice to Proceed with a first working day of November 13, 2018. All contract work was completed by November 5, 2020.
By accepting this project as complete, the City officially accepts the improvements made and authorizes the Notice of Completion to be filed. The City Clerk is authorized to complete all necessary steps to file the appropriate notices and documents with the County Recorder, release securities, and authorize payments totaling $10,203,691. The work is covered by a one-year warranty for any issues that may arise.
Staff recommends the project for acceptance as the contractor has complied with all contract requirements for the project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total project costs were $13,962,107 which included design, construction, and construction administration costs. The total project amount originally budgeted was $14,403,213 which included $8,111,702 or the construction contract and contingency with Mountain Cascade, Inc. of Livermore, CA.
The City’s “Change Order Approval Policy” enacted by Council Resolution No. 94-443 on July 19, 1994, and updated by Resolution No. 2019-326 on July 9, 2019, states that a contract of at least $1,000,000 but less than $10,000,000 allows Directors Authority not to exceed eight percent (8%) of the contract amount.
On May 05, 2020, by Resolution No. 2020-214, council authorized the Director of Utilities approval of change orders up to 38% of the original contract price for the Del Rio Tank No. 14, Well No. 68, and Pump Station Project. Therefore, the approved contingency amount for the project was $2,854,117.
There were thirty-six change orders resulting in an overall increase of $2,692,855 for change order work as listed on the attached change order log. A summary of the expenditures for the overall project is listed below:

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Del Rio Tank No. 14, Well No. 68, and Pump Station project was presented to the Special Finance Committee Workshop on April 30, 2018, as a highlighted high-profile project. This presentation was part of the draft Operating Budget Workshop, which was recommended to forward to Council for approval.
CEQA/NEPA REQUIREMENTS:
On September 5, 2017, Council certified the Final EIR for the Del Rio Tank and Wells Project by Resolution No. 2017-347. The EIR identified significant and unavoidable environmental impacts of the Project. Certification of the Final EIR required the adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations explaining the specific benefits of the Proposed Project that outweigh its significant and unavoidable impacts. Council determined that any remaining unmitigated environmental impacts attributable to the Del Rio Tank and Wells Project are outweighed by specific benefits outlined in the Final EIR.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

CITY OF MODESTO
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:
October 25, 2022
Date: October 5, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: William Wong, Director of Utilities
SUBJECT: Accept Rebid Fire Station 5 Kitchen Remodel Project CONTACT: Pete Kambel, Senior Civil Engineer, [email protected], 209-577-5444 DESCRIPTION:
Consider approving an increase in the Director’s authority to issue Change Orders from 21% ($25,000) to 27% ($32,823) of the original construction contract price of $121,750; accepting the Rebid Fire Station 5 Kitchen Remodel Project as complete, authorizing all necessary steps to file with the County Recorder, releasing securities, and releasing payments totaling $154,573 to O.K.
Construction, of Antelope, CA. (Funding Source: General Fund) STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the 2020-2025 City of Modesto Strategic Plan Initiatives, Goal D: Provide safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance, and sustainability efforts.
BACKGROUND:
Fire Station 5 is a 55-year-old masonry building located at 200 W Briggsmore Ave. The scope of this project included renovations to the existing kitchen and office areas including new cabinets, countertops, appliances, flooring, and paint.
The project was advertised for bids on January 26, 2021. The bids were publicly opened on March 9, 2021, Modesto Municipal Code section 8-3.403 and City Charter Section 1307. Four bids were received and O.K. Construction of Antelope, CA was the apparent lowest bidder at
28.16% below the engineers estimate. The first two lowest bidders were deemed nonresponsive and the remaining two bids were above the engineer’s estimate by more than 15%.
For these reasons, staff recommended the rejection of all bids and the re-advertising of the project at a future date. This allowed staff time to re-evaluate the construction costs and scope of work to identify any clarifications to the bid package and adjustments to the engineer’s estimate and project budget.

City Council October 25, 2022
Accept Rebid Fire Station 5 Kitchen Remodel
On April 13, 2021, by Resolution 2021-142, Council rejected all bids for the Fire Station 5 Kitchen Remodel Project, and authorized staff to re-advertise the project for bids at a future date with an amended scope of work.
DISCUSSION:
The Project was re-advertised for bids on April 27, 2021. Bids were publicly opened on May 25, 2021, pursuant to Modesto Municipal Code section 8-3.403 and City Charter Section 1307, and O.K. Construction, of Antelope, CA, was the responsible bidder at 28.16% above engineers estimate.
Only one bid was received from O.K. Construction, of Antelope, CA, which was 28.16% above the engineer’s estimate. Recent market volatility caused costs of lumber and metals to experience substantial increases and fluctuations. While the bid was above the engineer’s estimate, rebidding would likely have not resulted in lower bids.
On August 10, 2021, by Resolution No. 2021-326 Council awarded a contract to O.K.
Construction of Antelope, CA for the construction of the Rebid Fire Station 5 Kitchen Remodel project for the amount of $121,750. The contractor received the Notice to Proceed on October 25, 2021. All contract work was completed on April 4, 2022.
By accepting this project as complete, the City officially accepts the improvements made and authorizes the Notice of Completion to be filed. The City Clerk is authorized to complete all necessary steps to file the appropriate notices and documents with the County Recorder, release securities, and authorize payments totaling $154,573. The work is covered by a one-year warranty for any issues that may arise.
Staff recommends the project for acceptance as the contractor has complied with all contract requirements for the project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total project costs were $198,850 which included design, construction, and construction administration costs. The total project amount originally budgeted was $207,080 which included $146,750 for the construction contract and contingency with O.K. Construction of Antelope, CA.
The City’s “Change Order Approval Policy” enacted by Council Resolution No. 94-443 on July 19, 1994, and updated by Resolution No. 2019-326 on July 9, 2019, states that a contract of less than $250,000 allows Directors Authority not to exceed $25,000 of the contract amount.
The project had a total of 7 change orders resulting in an overall increase of $32,823. The change orders were executed for additional work and field adjustments listed on the attached change order log. Of that amount, $25,000 is approved for the original Directors Authority for change orders. The additional change order costs for the Fire Station 5 Kitchen Remodel project work are $7,823 greater than the original authorized change order authority. Additional costs were negotiated with the Contractor, due to cost escalation for work on the cabinetry, and are based on field-measured quantities of the work installed. These costs were funded by the Fire Department and no additional funding is requested at this time. This request is based on the need to document the additional Directors Authority needed to complete this project. #14..

Consider approving a First Amendment to the Agreement with Bartle Wells Associates, Berkeley, CA, for the Wastewater Rate Study & Proposition 218 Assistance in the amount of $29,900, for an amended total amount not to exceed $149,175. (Funding Source: Wastewater Fund)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the 2020-2025 City of Modesto Strategic Plan Initiatives, Goal D: Provide safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance, and sustainability efforts.
BACKGROUND:
On September 2, 2014, by Resolution 2014-334, Council approved an agreement with Carollo Engineers (Carollo), for consultant services to update the City’s Wastewater Master Plan which also included the preparation of a Wastewater System Engineer’s Report in an amount not to exceed $1,955,697.
On January 26, 2016, by Resolutions 2016-26 and 2016-27, Council approved the Wastewater System Engineer’s Report prepared by Carollo and the Wastewater Rate Study prepared by Bartle Wells Associates (BWA), respectively. In addition, by Resolution 2016-28, Council authorized staff to initiate the Proposition 218 process to increase wastewater rates.
On April 26, 2016, Council held a wastewater rate increase hearing for fiscal years 2016-17 through 2020-21; by Resolution 2016-181, Council adopted wastewater service rates effective July 1, 2016 in accordance with Proposition 218 and amended Resolutions 2007-463 and 2014- 129. Resolution 2016-181 also required that an annual review of the proposed maximum rate be conducted each year, and that the rate be acted upon by the Council prior to implementation. #15..

Council Meeting, October 25, 2022
First Amendment to Agreement with Bartle Wells Associates Wastewater Rate Study and Proposition 218 Assistance
On June 6, 2017, staff conducted a review of the rates for FY 2017-18 adopted as part of the five-year schedule; by Resolution 2017-218 the FY 2017-18 adopted rate increase of 6% became effective September 1, 2017.
On March 13, 2018, staff conducted a review of the rates for FY 2018-19 adopted as part of the five-year schedule; by Resolution 2018-129 the FY 2018-19 adopted rate increase of 6% became effective July 1, 2018.
On October 22, 2019, staff conducted a review of the rates for FY 2019-20 adopted as part of the five-year schedule; by Resolution 2019-481 the FY 2019-20 adopted rate increase of 6% became effective January 1, 2020.
On September 22, 2020, staff conducted a review of the rates for FY 2020-21 adopted as part of the five-year schedule; by Resolution 2020-406 the FY 2020-21 approved rate increase of 4% will become effective January 1, 2021.
On December 8, 2020, by Resolution 2020-522, Council approved an agreement with Bartle Wells Associates for the preparation of the Wastewater Rate Study & Proposition 218 Assistance.
On April 12, 2022, by Resolution 2022-196 Council adopted wastewater service rates effective Fiscal Year 2022-23 through Fiscal Year 2026-27 which became effective July 1, 2022.
DISCUSSION:
The Wastewater Rate Study was initially scheduled to be completed by the end of 2021; Unfortunately, the project experienced delays due to additional analysis requirements and COVID related impacts.
The additional effort associated with the development, review and analysis of multiple operating and capital spending scenarios, information presentations to City staff, elected representatives and industry stakeholders resulted in an expansion of the original agreement’s scope and additional consultant charges. Therefore, staff is recommending a first amendment to the agreement with Bartle Wells Associates, Berkeley, CA, in the amount of $29,900.
FISCAL IMPACT:
To fully fund this effort an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Operating Budget in the amount of $29,900 will be necessary in the following cost center:
4210-43110 Wastewater Rate Analysis

Re: Contract Amendment for Wastewater Rate Study
Bartle Wells Associates (BWA) is requesting an authorization additional budget authorization of $29,900 to complete the wastewater rate study. Through April 2022, BWA worked 336 hours beyond the project budget. The cost of this overage is $77,973. Per our discussion, BWA is requesting $29,900.
The work for the sewer study is complete and there will be no additional billing. While we regret that the cost has exceeded the initial budget, we believe the additional time and work invested has helped make the study a greater success.
The following are factors that contributed to BWA going over budget. The project lasted five months longer than anticipated. Due to the project starting later than the proposed start date, Covid issues with staffing and workload, and additional analysis, the project lasted about five months longer than anticipated. During this time, the project team had about two to six meetings per month. These meetings required preparation, attendance, and follow-up.
Additional work including:
o Reviewing, developing, and analyzing numerous capital spending scenarios o Updating all budget inputs when the next fiscal year budget completed o Informational presentations to the Finance Comittee and CanSeg representatives o Working with the City to ensure the billing data was used correctly in the rate models as the format of the billing reports had changed from the previous study Sincerely,
BARTLE WELLS ASSOCIATES

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:
October 25, 2022
Date: September 30, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Jaylen French, Director of Community and Economic Development SUBJECT: Commercial Storefront Retailer Type 10 Business Permit Relocation Request Doctor’s Choice Dispensary (From 2039 Yosemite Avenue to 121 Phoenix Avenue, Modesto, CA 95350)
CONTACT: Sean M. Rando, Business Analyst, [email protected], 209-577-5473 DESCRIPTION:
Hearing to consider the relocation request of retail dispensary Doctor’s Choice from 2039 Yosemite Boulevard to 121 Phoenix Ave and granting a residential proximity waiver. (Funding Source: Cannabis Permit Application and Annual Permit Fees) STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
Allowing an established cannabis business to relocate and reinitiate operations will directly promote the goal of economic vitality which is consistent with the City Council 2020-2025 Strategic Plan Goal E, Drive Economy Vitality.
BACKGROUND:
Commercial Cannabis Businesses
In December 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance 3684-C.S. legalizing certain commercial cannabis business operations, allowing up to ten (10) cannabis dispensaries with no limit on the number of non-dispensary businesses. Since that time, the City has approved eight (8) cannabis dispensary businesses, seven (7) of which are operational, as well as six (6) nondispensary cannabis businesses, three (3) of which are operational. In 2021 the Council formed a Cannabis Permit Review Committee (Committee) and delegated the authority to approve nondispensary and non-delivery cannabis businesses to said Committee.
Earlier this year, the Council expanded the role of the Committee to advise the Council on all cannabis-related issues and renamed the Committee, the Cannabis Program and Permit Review Committee.
Doctor’s Choice is one of the eight (8) currently licensed and permitted dispensaries approved within the City. Their original location, approved by council with a permit issued on December 19, 2018, is located at 2039 Yosemite Boulevard. The original lease term for this property #16..

City Council, October 25, 2022
Commercial Storefront Retailer Type 10 Business
Permit Relocation Request Doctor’s Choice
Dispensary (From 2039 Yosemite Avenue to 121
Phoenix Avenue, Modesto, CA 95350)
commenced on December 1, 2018 and ended on November 30, 2021. When presented with new lease terms by the property owner, Doctor’s Choice opted to not renew the lease and pursue a new location that would be close in proximity to the area of their prior, approved location.
DISCUSSION:
Proposed Cannabis Retail location
The City’s Cannabis Ordinance, codified in part in Modesto Municipal Code (MMC) section 10-
3.703(a), requires retailer type 10 businesses to operate in commercial zone C-2, C-3, C-M, as well as industrial zone M-1 and M-2. The proposed location of 121 Phoenix Avenue is in a C-2 zone intended for general commercial purposes. MMC section 10-3.704(d) allows a commercial cannabis business to change physical locations if approved by the City. City staff has interpreted this to require approval by the Committee or Council; whichever body approved the original permit. The City Council is the approval authority for dispensaries and therefore must approve Doctors Choice’s relocation request. MMC section 10-3.703(b) levies further requirements that no commercial cannabis land use shall be located within one hundred (100) feet of any residential use. The proposed relocation site is approximately eighty-nine (89) feet from a residential area located to the west of the property based on a proximity study.
The Cannabis Ordinance allows for the waiver of proximity requirements by the City Council, if an impassible physical barrier exists between the commercial cannabis businesses and the land use that is causing a proximity issue. In December of 2018, during the original approval process for the eight (8) currently operating dispensaries, six (6) proposals requested waivers. Modesto City Council Resolution No. 2018-566 approved the waivers for the six requestees with the requirement that the dispensaries construct an impassable physical barrier.
Doctor’s Choice submitted revised security and site plans for the proposed site at 121 Phoenix Avenue to the City for review. These plans call for an 8-foot-high wrought iron fence with a locking gate to the rear of the business, which will provide the impassible physical barrier required in order for the Council to consider the proximity waiver. These plans were reviewed by the City’s consultant HdL as well as various City departments and they were found to be compliant with all state and local regulations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The applicant has remitted the $6,380 cannabis permit application fee for the relocation, which covers staff and HdL costs for processing the application. The applicant will also remit the annual permit fee to cover on-going costs, which is currently set at $18,732. The business, upon resuming operations, will remit the cannabis excise tax, which is 8% of gross revenue for a retail commercial cannabis business.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This relocation request was presented to the Cannabis Program and Permit Review Committee on October 13, 2022 and was recommended to forward to Council for approval of the relocation and the granting of a residential proximity waiver.

FROM: Jaylen French, Community and Economic Development Director SUBJECT: Award Stanislaus Regional Housing Authority Loans and Grants for the Development of Vine Street Affordable Housing Project
CONTACT: Jessica Hill, Community Development Manager
[email protected], 209-577-5321
DESCRIPTION:
Consider awarding Stanislaus Regional Housing Authority Loans and Grants in the total amount not to exceed $3,226,604 for the development of the Vine Street Affordable Housing Project including Vine Street Improvements and $100,000 for staff activity delivery costs. (Funding Source: Permanent Local Housing Allocation, HOME Investment Partnership, HOME Investment Partnership CHDO Set-Aside, and Community Development Block Grant Funds) STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
This item supports the City of Modesto’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan Goal C - Develop Homelessness and Housing Plan.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Modesto (City), Stanislaus Regional Housing Authority (Housing Authority), and Stanislaus Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) have collaborated on the development of two complexes of affordable housing located on Vine Street.
On November 6, 2018, by Resolution number 2018-489, the City of Modesto awarded $280,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) to the Housing Authority for the acquisition of property located on Vine Street (APN: 030-010-042), between the Helen White Trail to the west, and S. Martin Luther King Dr to the east, for the future development of 34 affordable housing units.
Since the acquisition of the property in 2019, the Housing Authority has been developing the scope of the project and securing funding. This project is in partnership with BHRS – No Place Like Home funds and Mental Health Services Act (MSHA), and F&M Bank loan. It was determined that for this project to capitalize on the funding opportunities, the Housing Authority will utilize their non-profit arm Great Valley Development Corporation (GVDC), which is one of the City’s approved Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO) as the developer for the project.

Award Stanislaus Regional Housing Authority Loans and Grants for the Development of Vine Street Affordable Housing Project Page 2 of 5
The City is the direct recipient of several funding sources that are dedicated to the development of affordable housing within the City of Modesto. The City will use its HOME Investment Partnership (HOME), HOME CHDO Set-Aside, Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA), and the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to complete development of the project.
DISCUSSION:
The Housing Authority as property owner, with GVDC as the developer, will construct 34 units of affordable housing in two separate housing complexes as well as Vine Street infrastructure and road improvements. The following describes the proposed project components:
King Kennedy Veterans Cottages
This gated development will consist of twenty-three (23) 580 square foot one-bedroom detached units with air conditioning, refrigerator, range, disposal, and laundry hookups or appliances in units. This development will be a permanent supportive housing complex serving Behavioral Health clients and veterans with incomes restrictions for designated units at or below 30% of the area median income (AMI). In partnership with BHRS, the development will offer these veterans, a permanent solution to their housing challenges and provide services as well as meeting room on site.
Helen White Court
This gated development will consist of twelve (12) units available to low-income seniors. These proposed one-bedroom and one-bath approximately 650 to 700 square foot attached units with air conditioning, refrigerator, range, disposal, and laundry hookups or appliances in units.

Off-site amenities, located within two (2) miles of the project locations include Public Transportation, Shopping, Medical Services, recreation, Schools, and Employment Center.

To ensure that the project’s cost estimate was reasonable, the Housing Authority utilized a formal procurement process.

Before approaching the City, the Housing Authority secured funding commitments totaling $7,565,044 or 70% of the total project cost. Staff is proposing that the City funds the project gap totaling $3,226,604. This funding commitment is 30% of the total project cost. One of the funding commitments in the amount of $1,884,671 in State of California No Place Like Home Program that was committed to this project in 2019 is in jeopardy if this project cannot secure this funding and begin construction as soon as possible.
If funded, the Housing Authority and GVHD is prepared to start construction immediately, and the project will be completed by December 2024.

4. Security Agreement. The parties intend for this Deed of Trust to create a lien on the Property, and an assignment of the Rents and Leases, all in favor of Beneficiary, subject to the rights of any beneficiaries under deeds of trust senior in priority to this Deed of Trust (“Senior Deeds of Trust”). The parties acknowledge that some of the Property may be determined under applicable law to be personal property or fixtures.

Pursuant to the UCC, Trustor, as debtor, hereby authorizes Beneficiary, as secured party, to file such financing statements and amendments thereof and such continuation statements with respect thereto as Beneficiary may deem appropriate to perfect and preserve Beneficiary's security interest in the Property and Rents, without requiring any signature or further authorization by Trustor. If requested by Beneficiary, Trustor shall pay all fees and costs that Beneficiary may incur in filing such documents in public offices and in obtaining such record searches as Beneficiary may reasonably require. If any financing statement or other document is filed in the records normally pertaining to personal property, that filing shall not be construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this Deed of Trust or the rights or obligations of the parties under it.
Everything used in connection with the Property and/or adapted for use therein and/or which is described or reflected in this Deed of Trust is, and at all times and for all purposes and in all proceedings both legal or equitable shall be regarded as part of the estate encumbered by this Deed of Trust irrespective of whether (i) any such item is physically attached to the Improvements, (ii) serial numbers are used for the better identification of certain equipment items capable of being thus identified in a recital contained herein or in any list filed with Beneficiary, or (iii) any such item is referred to or reflected in any such financing statement so filed at any time.

Such mention in any financing statement is declared to be solely for the protection of Beneficiary in the event any court or judge shall at any time hold, with respect to the matters set forth in the foregoing clauses (1), (2), and (3), that notice of Beneficiary's priority of interest is required in order to be effective against a particular class of persons, including but not limited to the federal government and any subdivisions or entity of the federal government.

Trustor covenants and agrees that this Deed of Trust is to be filed in the real estate records of Stanislaus County and shall also operate from the date of such filing as a fixture filing in accordance with Section 9502 and other applicable provisions of the UCC. This Deed of Trust shall also be effective as a financing statement covering minerals or the like (including oil and gas) and accounts subject to the UCC, as amended.

Trustor shall not use, generate, manufacture, store or dispose of on, under, or about the Property or transport to or from the Property any flammable explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous wastes, toxic substances or related materials, including without limitation, any substances defined as or included in the definition of "hazardous substances," hazardous wastes," "hazardous materials," or "toxic substances" under any applicable federal or state laws or regulations (collectively referred to hereinafter as "Hazardous Materials") except such of the foregoing as are used in construction of projects of the improvements on the Property or as may be customarily kept and used in and about residential property.
(b) Trustor shall immediately advise Beneficiary in writing if at any time it receives written notice of: (1) any and all enforcement, cleanup, removal or other governmental or regulatory actions instituted, completed or threatened against Trustor or the Property pursuant to any applicable federal, state or local laws, ordinances, or regulations relating to any Hazardous Materials, ("Hazardous Materials Law"); (2) all claims made or threatened by any third party against Trustor or the Property relating to damage, contribution, cost recovery compensation, loss or injury resulting from any Hazardous Materials (the matters set forth in clauses (1) and (2) above are hereinafter referred to as "Hazardous Materials Claims"); and (3) Trustor's discovery of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Property that could cause the Property or any part thereof to be classified as "border-zone property" (as defined in California Health and Safety Code Section 25117.4) under the provision of California Health and Safety Code, Sections 25220 et seq., or any regulation adopted in accordance therewith, or to be otherwise subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use of the Property under any Hazardous Materials Law.

marketing of any rental space on the Property; and (iv) penalties and fines levied by, and remedial or enforcement actions of any kind issued by any regulatory agency (including but not limited to the costs of any required testing, remediation, repair, removal, cleanup or detoxification of the property and surrounding properties). (d) Without Beneficiary's prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, Trustor may not take any remedial action in response to the presence of any Hazardous Materials on, under, or about the Property, nor enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree, or other compromise in respect to any Hazardous Material Claims, which remedial action, settlement, consent decree or compromise might, in Beneficiary's reasonable judgment, impairs the value of the Beneficiary's security hereunder; provided, however, that Beneficiary's prior consent is not necessary in the event that the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under, or about the Property either poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any individual or is of such a nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary and it is not reasonably possible to obtain Beneficiary's consent before taking such action, provided that in such event Trustor notifies Beneficiary as soon as practicable of any action so taken. Beneficiary agrees not to withhold its consent, where such consent is required hereunder, if either: (1) a particular remedial action is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction; (2) Trustor will or may be subjected to civil or criminal sanctions or penalties if it fails to take a required action; (3) Trustor establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of Beneficiary that there is no reasonable alternative to such remedial action which would result in less impairment of Beneficiary's security hereunder; or (4) the action has been agreed to by Beneficiary. (e) The Trustor hereby acknowledges and agrees that: (1) this Article is intended as the Beneficiary's written request for information (and the Trustor's response) concerning the environmental condition of the Property as required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5; and (2) each representation and warranty in this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents (together with any indemnity applicable to a breach of any such representation and warranty) with respect to the environmental condition of the property is intended by the Beneficiary and the Trustor to be an "environmental provision" for purposes of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736.
(f) In the event that any portion of the Property is determined to be "environmentally impaired" (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(3)) or to be an "affected parcel" (as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(e)(1)), then, without otherwise limiting or in any way affecting the Beneficiary's or the Trustee's rights and remedies under this Deed of Trust, the Beneficiary may elect to exercise its rights under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a) to: (1) waive its lien on such environmentally impaired or affected portion of the Property; and (2) exercise (i) the rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor, including reduction of its claim against the Trustor to judgment, and (ii) any other rights and remedies permitted by law. For purposes of determining the Beneficiary's right to proceed as an unsecured creditor under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(a), the Trustor will be deemed to have willfully permitted or acquiesced in a release or threatened release of hazardous materials, within the meaning of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5(d)(1), if the release or threatened release of hazardous materials was knowingly or negligently caused or contributed to by any lessee, occupant, or user of any portion of the Property and the Trustor knew or in the exercise of reasonable diligence should #17..

5028657.1 10
have known of the activity by such lessee, occupant, or user which caused or contributed to the release or threatened release.

Subject to the rights of any senior lienholders, and notwithstanding anything contained in any of the Loan Documents, unless Beneficiary and Trustor otherwise agree in writing, any award of damages in connection with any condemnation for public use of, or injury to the Property or any part thereof shall be applied to restoration or repair of the Property, provided Trustor determines that such restoration or repair is economically feasible and there is no default under any City Document that is continuing beyond the expiration of all applicable cure periods. If Trustor determines that such restoration or repair is not economically feasible or if a default exists after expiration of all applicable cure periods, the insurance proceeds shall be applied to the sums secured by this Deed of Trust, with the excess, if any, paid to Trustor. In the event funds for such work are insufficient, Beneficiary may, in its sole discretion and subject to the approval of Beneficiary’s governing board, advance such additional funds as may be necessary to allow the Property to be repaired or restored, and may add the amount thereof to the principal balance of the Note. If the Property is abandoned by Trustor, or if Trustor fails to respond to Beneficiary within 30 days from the date notice is mailed by Beneficiary to Trustor that the insurance carrier offers to settle a claim for insurance benefits, Beneficiary is authorized to collect and apply the insurance proceeds at Beneficiary's option either to restoration or repair of the Property or to the sums #17..

Trustor shall pay all fees of Trustee and all recordation fees related to such reconveyance.
7.17 Cure; Protection of Security.

8.2 Remedies. Subject to the applicable notice and cure provisions set forth herein, at any time after an Event of Default, Beneficiary and Trustee shall be entitled to invoke any and all of the rights and remedies described below, and may exercise any one or more or all, of the remedies set forth in any City Document, and any other remedy existing at law or in equity or by statute, subject to the nonrecourse provisions set forth in the Note. All of Beneficiary’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any one or more of them shall not constitute an election of remedies. Beneficiary shall be entitled to collect all expenses incurred in pursuing the remedies provided hereunder, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
a. Acceleration. Beneficiary may declare any or all of the Secured Obligations, including without limitation all sums payable under the Note and this Deed of Trust, to be due and payable immediately.
b. Receiver. Beneficiary may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain appointment of, a receiver for the Property. c. Entry. Beneficiary, in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver, may enter, take possession of, manage and operate all or any part of the Property, and may also do any and all other things in connection with those actions that Beneficiary may in its sole discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Deed of Trust. Such other things may include: taking and possessing copies of all of Trustor’s or the then owner's books and records concerning the Property; entering into, enforcing, modifying, or canceling Leases on such terms and conditions as Beneficiary may consider proper; obtaining and evicting tenants; fixing or modifying Rents; collecting and receiving any payment of money owing to Trustor; completing any unfinished construction; and/or contracting for and making repairs and alterations. If Beneficiary so requests, Trustor shall assemble all of the Property that has been removed from the Land and make all of it available to Beneficiary at the site of the Land. Trustor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Beneficiary as Trustor's attorney-in-fact to perform such acts and execute such documents as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may consider to be appropriate in connection with taking these measures, including endorsement of Trustor's name on any instruments.
d. UCC Remedies. Beneficiary may exercise any or all of the remedies granted to a secured party under the UCC.
e. Judicial Action. Beneficiary may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to foreclose this Deed of Trust in the manner provided by law for foreclosure of mortgages on real property and/or to obtain specific enforcement of any of the covenants or agreements of this Deed of Trust.

- 518 -
5028657.1 15
have the discretionary right to cause some or all of the Property, including any Property which constitutes personal property, to be sold or otherwise disposed of in any combination and in any manner permitted by applicable law.
Trustor’s limited partners (the “Limited Partners”) shall have the right to cure any default of Trustor hereunder upon the same terms and conditions afforded to Trustor. Provided that Beneficiary has been given written notice of the address for delivery of notices to the Limited Partners, Beneficiary shall provide any notice of default hereunder to the Limited Partners concurrently with the provision of such notice to Trustor, and as to the Limited Partners, the cure periods specified herein shall commence upon the date of delivery of such notice in accordance with Section 10.2.
8.3 Power of Sale. If Beneficiary elects to invoke the power of sale hereby granted, Beneficiary shall execute or cause the Trustee to execute a written notice of such default and of its election to cause the Property to be sold to satisfy the obligations hereof, and shall cause such notice to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of each County wherein the Property or some part thereof is situated as required by law and this Deed of Trust.
Prior to publication of the notice of sale, Beneficiary shall deliver to Trustee this Deed of Trust and the Note or other evidence of indebtedness which is secured hereby, together with a written request for the Trustee to proceed with a sale of the Property, pursuant to the provisions of law and this Deed of Trust.
Notice of sale having been given as then required by law, and not less than the time then required by law having elapsed after recordation of such notice of default, Trustee, without demand on Trustor, shall sell the Property at the time and place fixed by it in the notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale. Trustee may, and at Beneficiary’s request shall, postpone sale of all or any portion of the Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time and place fixed by the preceding postponement. Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser its deed conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Trustor, Trustee, or Beneficiary, may purchase at such sale.
After deducting all costs, fees, and expenses of Trustee and of the trust hereby created, including reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection with sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of all sums advanced or expended by Beneficiary or Trustee under the terms hereof and all outstanding sums then secured hereby, and the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Trustor acknowledges and agrees that regardless of whether or not a default has occurred hereunder, if an Event of Default has occurred under the Loan Documents, and if in connection with such Event of Default Beneficiary exercises its right to foreclose on the Property, then: (i) Beneficiary shall be entitled to declare all amounts due under the Note immediately due and payable, and (ii) the proceeds of #17..
- 519 -
5028657.1 16
any sale of the Property in connection with such foreclosure shall be used to pay all Secured Obligations, including without limitation, the outstanding principal balance and all other amounts due under the Note.
At any foreclosure sale, any person, including Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary, may bid for and acquire the Property or any part of it to the extent permitted by then applicable law.
Instead of paying cash for such property, Beneficiary may settle for the purchase price by crediting the sales price of the property against the following obligations:
a. First, the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the expenses of sale, costs of any action and any other sums for which Trustor is obligated to pay or reimburse Beneficiary or Trustee under Section 7.11(c); and
b. Second, the remaining balance of all other Secured Obligations in any order and proportions as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may choose.
8.4 Trustor’s Right to Reinstate. Notwithstanding Beneficiary’s acceleration of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust, Trustor shall have the right to have any proceedings begun by Beneficiary to enforce this Deed of Trust discontinued at any time prior to five days before sale of the Property pursuant to the power of sale contained in this Deed of Trust or at any time prior to entry of a judgment enforcing this Deed of Trust if: (a) Trustor pays Beneficiary all sums which would be then due under the Loan Documents if the Secured Obligations had no acceleration provision; (b) Trustor cures all breaches of any other covenants or agreements of Trustor contained in this Deed of Trust; (c) Trustor pays all reasonable expenses incurred by Beneficiary and Trustee in enforcing the covenants and agreements of Trustor contained in this Deed of Trust, and in enforcing Beneficiary’s and Trustee’s remedies as provided herein, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees; and (d) Trustor takes such action as Beneficiary may reasonably require to assure that the lien of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary’s interest in the Property and Trustor’s obligation to pay the sums secured by this Deed of Trust shall continue unimpaired. Upon such payment and cure by Trustor, this Deed of Trust and the obligations secured hereby shall remain in full force and effect as if no acceleration had occurred.
Nothing contained in Sections 8.3 and 8.4 is intended to expand upon or limit the rights of Trustor and Beneficiary under California law regarding Beneficiary’s exercise of the power of sale or Trustor’s reinstatement rights.
9. Trustor's Waivers. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Trustor waives: (a) all statutes of limitations as a defense to any action or proceeding brought against Trustor by Beneficiary; (b) the benefit of all laws now existing or which may hereafter be enacted providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, redemption or moratorium; (c) all rights of marshalling in the event of foreclosure; and (d) all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Deed of Trust and of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional indebtedness, and demands and notices of every kind.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Stanislaus Regional Housing Authority, a public body corporate and politic (“Borrower”), promises to pay to the City of Modesto, a California charter city (“City”), in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum Nine Hundred and Fifty-Eight Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty Three Dollars ($953,723), or so much thereof as may be advanced by City pursuant to the Agreement referred to below, with three percent (1%) interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance, and in accordance with the terms and conditions described herein.
This Secured Promissory Note (this “Note”) has been executed and delivered pursuant to and in accordance with that certain Affordable Housing Loan Agreement executed by and between the City and Borrower dated ____________ (the “Agreement”), and is subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, which is by this reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.
This Note is secured by a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (“Deed of Trust”) dated as of the date hereof, executed by Borrower for the benefit of City and encumbering the property described therein. City shall be entitled to the benefits of the security provided by the Deed of Trust and shall have the right to enforce the covenants and agreements contained herein, in the Deed of Trust, the Regulatory Agreement and the other City Documents. The Regulatory Agreement shall remain effective for the full term thereof and shall survive the repayment of this Note.
I. INTEREST. Interest shall accrue at the rate of one percent (1%) interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note; provided however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and continuing until such time as the Loan is repaid in full or the default is cured, interest shall automatically be charged without notice to the lesser of (i) ten percent (10%), compounded annually, or (ii) the highest rate permitted by law (the “Default Rate"). The imposition or acceptance of the Default Rate shall in no event constitute a waiver of a default under this Note or prevent City from exercising any of its other rights or remedies. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days, and charged for the actual number of days elapsed.
II. TERM. The entire outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with any interest accrued thereon and any other sums accrued hereunder shall be payable in full on the fifty-fifth (55th) anniversary of the date the Loan Proceeds are disbursed, but in no case later than the fiftyseventh (57th) anniversary of the date the Regulatory Agreement is recorded against the Property (“Term”).
#17..

5028665.1 2
III. DUE ON SALE. The entire unpaid principal balance and all interest and other sums accrued hereunder shall, at the option of the City, be due and payable upon the earliest of: (1) a Transfer other than a Transfer permitted or approved by the City as provided in the Agreement; (2) the occurrence of an uncured Event of Default by the Borrower for which the City exercises its right to cause the Loan indebtedness to become immediately due and payable; or (3) the expiration of the Term.
IV. PREPAYMENT. Borrower may, without premium or penalty, at any time and from time to time, prepay all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance due under this Note, provided that each such prepayment is accompanied by accrued interest (if any) on the amount of principal prepaid calculated to the date of such prepayment. Prepayments shall be applied first to any unpaid late charges and other costs and fees then due, then to accrued but unpaid interest, and then to principal. The Regulatory Agreement shall remain in full force for the entire term thereof regardless of any prepayment of this Note.
V. TERMS OF PAYMENT.
(a) Borrower shall make all payments due under this Note in currency of the United States of America to Holder at City of Modesto, 1010 Tenth Street, Suite 3300, Attn:
Community Development Manager, or to such other place as Holder may from time to time designate.
(b) All payments due under this Note shall be paid in currency of the United State of America, which at the time of payment is lawful for the payment of public and private debts. (c) All payments on this Note shall be without expense to the City, and the Borrower agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including re-conveyance fees and reasonable attorney’s fees of the City, incurred in connection with the payment of this Note and the release of any security hereof.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, or any instrument securing the obligations of the Borrower under this Note, if, for any reason whatsoever, the payment of any sums by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Note would result in the payment of interest which would exceed the amount that the City may legally charge under the laws of the State of California, then the amount by which payments exceeds the lawful interest rate shall automatically be deducted from the principal balance owing on this Note, so that in no event shall the Borrower be obligated under the terms of this Note to pay any interest which would exceed the lawful rate.
VI. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.
(a) The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an event of default hereunder ("Event of Default"):
(i) Any failure to pay, in full, any payment required under this Note when due and such failure continues for ten (10) days after City notifies Borrower thereof in writing; #17..
- 527 -
5028665.1 3
(ii) Any failure in the performance by the Borrower of any other terms, condition, provision or covenant set forth in this Note and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after City notifies Borrower thereof in writing; and (iii) The occurrence of an Event of Default under the Agreement, the Deed of Trust, the Regulatory Agreement, or any other instrument securing the obligations of the Borrower under this Note or under any other promissory notes hereafter issued by the Borrower to the City pursuant to the Agreement or the Deed of Trust, subject to any applicable cure periods set forth therein.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, City may, at its option (i) by written notice to Borrower, declare the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued interest thereon and all sums due hereunder, immediately due and payable regardless of any prior forbearance, (ii) exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it under applicable law, and (iii) exercise any and all rights and remedies available to City under this Note and the other City Documents, including without limitation the right to pursue foreclosure under the Deed of Trust. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of City including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with City's enforcement of this Note, regardless of whether suit is filed to seek enforcement, and the exercise of any or all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all such sums shall be a part of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust. The rights and remedies of City under this Note shall be cumulative and not alternative. (c) The failure to exercise the remedy set forth in above or any other remedy provided by law upon the occurrence of one or more of the Events of Default shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise any remedy at any subsequent time with respect to the same or any other default. The acceptance by the City hereof of any payment which is less than the total of all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise any of the foregoing remedies or options at that time or any subsequent time, or nullify any prior exercise of any such remedy or option, without the express consent of the City, except as and to the extent otherwise provided by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, City agrees that any cure made or tendered by Borrower’s limited partner hereunder shall be accepted or rejected by the City on the same basis as if made or tendered by Borrower.
VII. WAIVERS.
(a) No waiver by City of any right or remedy under this Note shall be effective unless in writing signed by City. Neither the failure nor any delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Note will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege by City will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
No waiver that may be given by City will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given. No notice to or demand on Borrower will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of Borrower or of the right of City to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Note
#17..
- 528 -
5028665.1 4
(b) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, protest, notices of dishonor and of protest and all defenses and pleas on the grounds of any extension or extensions of the time of payment or of any due date under this Note, in whole or in part, whether before or after maturity and with or without notice. Borrower expressly agrees that City may accept further security or release any security for this Note, all without in any way affecting the liability of the Borrower. (c) No extension of time for payment of this Note or any installment hereof made by agreement by the City with any person now or hereafter liable for payment of this Note shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of the Borrower under this Note, either in whole or in part, except as otherwise approved in writing. (d) The obligations of the Borrower under this Note shall be absolute and the Borrower waives any and all rights to offset, deduct or withhold any payments or charges due under this Note for any reason whatsoever.

Any agreement by the City to subordinate the Deed of Trust and/or Regulatory Agreement to the lien of Approved Financing (in each case, a “Senior Loan”), will be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

Recipient is not in default under any law or regulation or under any order of any court, board, commission or agency whatsoever, and there are no claims, actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Recipient, threatened against or affecting Recipient or the Property, at law or in equity, before or by any court, board, commission or agency whatsoever which might, if determined adversely to Recipient, materially affect Recipient's ability to repay the Grant or impair the security to be given to the City pursuant hereto.
Title to Land. At the time of recordation of the Deed of Trust, Recipient will have good and marketable fee title to the Project and there will exist thereon or with respect thereto no mortgage, lien, pledge or other encumbrance of any character whatsoever other than liens for current real property taxes and liens in favor of the City or approved in writing by the City, including documents associated with the Approved Financing further described in Section
1.1(c) above.
Financial Statements. The financial statements of Recipient and other financial data and information furnished by Recipient to the City fairly and accurately present the information contained therein. As of the date of this Agreement, there has not been any adverse, material change in the financial condition of Recipient from that shown by such financial statements and other data and information.
Sufficient Funds. Recipient holds sufficient funds, binding commitments for sufficient funds, and/or access to borrow sufficient funds to complete the acquisition of the Property and the construction of the Project in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Taxes. Recipient and its subsidiaries have filed all federal and other material tax returns and reports required to be filed, and have paid all federal and other material taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges levied or imposed upon them or their income or the Property otherwise due and payable, except those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. There is no proposed tax assessment against Recipient or any of its subsidiaries that could, if made, be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the Property, liabilities (actual or contingent), operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Recipient and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, which would be expected to result in a material impairment of the ability of Recipient to perform under any Loan Document to which it is a party, or a material adverse effect upon the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability against Recipient of any Loan Document. #17..

Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of the City to exercise any such rights and remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the City of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of such right or remedy, or any other right or remedy.

PROJECT SUMMARY
Center for Human Services (CHS) will acquire 14,297 square feet of property located at 2000 W.
Briggsmore Ave., Modesto CA 95351. With the support of public/private youth serving organizations, CHS proposes the acquisition and rehabilitation of property to develop a Youth Navigation Center, a one stop service hub providing a continuum of services for young people (13-24 years old) who are experiencing crisis, housing instability, and/or homelessness.
Currently, there is no coordinated system of care for youth experiencing crisis, housing instability, and/or homelessness in Stanislaus County. There are also no dedicated shelter beds for 18-24 year olds. Services are fragmented or nonexistent. The proposed Youth Navigation Center will create a space where existing services can be relocated and new services developed, creating a clear pathway for youth/young adults.
CHS currently owns half of the building and will leverage the administrative and behavioral health programs already operating in this facility to support the young people accessing the Youth Navigation Center to be operated on the other half of the building. The property to be acquired consists of three parcels with Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs): 060-36-028, 060-36- 029, and 060-36-30.
Once renovated, the center will provide the following services and facilitate a coordinated community response to youth homelessness as follows:
Street outreach and engagement services
Homeless prevention & diversion services
Coordinated entry and assessment
Crisis/Drop-in and Shelter for 13-17 year olds (8 beds) Crisis/Drop-in and Low-Barrier Shelter for 18-24 year olds (24 beds) Transitional Housing for 18-24 year olds (15 beds)
Access to housing services including permanent housing slots designed for youth with diverse circumstances
On-site education and employment services
Besides the relocation of Pathways and Hutton House services to the new Youth Navigation Center, the project will include a new Low Barrier Emergency Shelter to provide 24 beds for young adults who are homeless. Services will include intake and assessment (VI-SPDAT), engagement, meeting basic needs, elimination of barriers to housing (assistance with documents, applications, etc), system navigation, linkage to services (including mental health and substance use services), and development of a housing plan. The length of stay will be up to 60 days. The shelter will be open from 7pm - 8am and will serve continental breakfast and dinner. Showers and laundry will also be available as well as access to computers. #17..
