CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
DATE: OCTOBER 5, 2026
SECTION: PUBLIC HEARINGS
ITEM NO.: A
FILE I.D.: CFD050
DEPT.: ECONOMIC DEV.
PREPARER: M. FUENTES
SUBJECT: SECOND READING – CONSIDER ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 26–1019
AUTHORIZING THE LEVY OF A SPECIAL TAX FOR COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2026–2 (MONTCLAIR STATION)
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The amended North Montclair Downtown Specific Plan (NMDSP) encompasses a diverse array of public enhancements, including parks, public open spaces, median islands, parkways, and specialized street lighting. The City holds the responsibility for ensuring the construction and ongoing maintenance of these public enhancements. However, the financial capacity of the City’s General Fund is insufficient to support both the initial development and the subsequent maintenance of these improvements. The City Council has directed staff to finance maintenance of public improvements and a portion of the costs for public safety services related to development projects within the boundaries of the NMDSP area through the establishment of Community Facilities Districts (CFD).
The City Council is requested to conduct the second reading, by number and title only, and consider adoption of Ordinance No. 26–1019. A copy is attached for City Council review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: On September 8, 2026, the City Council conducted a public hearing related to the formation of CFD No. 2026–2 (Montclair Station) and took the following actions:
• Adopted Resolution No. 26–3536 establishing CFD No. 2026–2 (Montclair Station), and the boundaries thereof;
• Adopted Resolution No. 26–3537 calling a Special Election and submitting to the voters of CFD No. 2026–2 (Montclair Station) a proposition for the annual levy of special taxes within said CFD to pay the costs of certain services to be provided by the CFD and establishing an appropriations limit for said CFD; • Adopted Resolution No. 26–3538 declaring the results of the Special Election for CFD No. 2026–2 (Montclair Station) for the propositions concerning (I) the annual levy of special taxes to pay the costs of certain services to be provided by the CFD and (II) establishing an appropriations limit; and
• Conducted the first reading of Ordinance No. 26–1019 levying special taxes to be collected during Fiscal Year 2026–27 to pay the annual costs of the maintenance and lighting of parks, parkways, streets, roads, and open space, the operation and maintenance of bio–retention basins and storm drainage systems, and public safety services including fire protection and suppression services, police protection services, and emergency vehicle apparatus maintenance with respect to CFD No. 2026–2 (Montclair Station).
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 10/05/2026 Page 5 of 234 Conducting a second reading and adopting Ordinance No. 26–1019 is the final step in completing the formation of CFD No. 2026–2 (Montclair Station). Adoption of Ordinance No. 26–1019 would authorize the City Council to levy special taxes within the newly formed CFD to pay for the identified maintenance costs and public safety costs as included as Exhibit “A” to Ordinance No. 26–1019.
FISCAL IMPACT: Formation of CFD No. 2026–2 has been proposed to mitigate the financial impacts of public works maintenance and public safety services on General Fund revenues.
CFD No. 2026–2 would finance the maintenance and lighting of parks, parkways, streets, roads, and open space and the operation and maintenance of bio–retention basins and storm drain systems serving the CFD. In addition, the CFD would finance fire protection and suppression services, police protection services, and emergency vehicle apparatus maintenance. The estimated cost of these services is approximately $127,910 annually, inclusive of a $10,000 annual cost to administer the CFD. An appropriations limit of $3,000,000 has been established for the CFD. Administrative costs related to the formation of CFD No. 2026–2 are the responsibility of the developer and are paid for directly by the developer through a reimbursement agreement between the City of Montclair and the developer.
The special tax imposed by the CFD shall be increased by the greater of (i) the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index or (ii) the actual costs of Authorized Maintenance Services and Authorized Public Safety Services with a maximum annual increase of six percent (6%) and a minimum annual increase of two percent (2%) per Fiscal Year, all as set forth in the Rate and Method of Apportionment.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the second reading, by number and title only, and adopt Ordinance No. 26–1019 authorizing the levy of a special tax for CFD No. 2026–2 (Montclair Station).

D. APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
1. SPECIAL TAX A
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2026-2027 and for each following Fiscal Year, the Council shall levy the Special Tax A so that the amount of the Special Tax A equals the lesser of the Special Tax A Requirement or the Maximum Annual Special Tax A. The Special Tax A shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property at up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Annual Special Tax A.
To the extent that the Special Tax A Requirement is greater than the aggregate Maximum Annual Special Tax A, the Special Tax A collected shall first be allocated to pay Administrative Expenses not funded through the Special Tax B Requirement and then to pay for Authorized Maintenance Services.
2. SPECIAL TAX B
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2026-2027 and for each following Fiscal Year, the Council shall levy the Special Tax B so that the amount of the Special Tax B equals the lesser of the Special Tax B Requirement or the Maximum Annual Special Tax B. The Special Tax B shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property at up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Annual Special Tax B.
To the extent that the Special Tax B Requirement is greater than the aggregate Maximum Annual Special Tax B, the Special Tax B collected shall first be allocated to pay Administrative Expenses not funded through the Special Tax A Requirement and then to pay for Authorized Public Safety Services.
Notwithstanding the above, pursuant to Section 53321(d) of the California Government Code, under no circumstances shall the Special Tax levied in any Fiscal Year against any Assessor’s Parcel in CFD No. 2026-2 for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued shall be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner or owners of any other Assessor’s Parcel(s) within CFD No. 2026-2 by more than 10% above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. To the extent that the levy of the Special Tax on Assessor’s Parcels of residential property is limited by the provision in the previous sentence, the levy of the Special Tax on all of the Assessor’s Parcels of non-residential property within CFD No. 2026-2 shall continue to increase in equal percentages at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax.

E. EXEMPTIONS
Neither the Special Tax A nor the Special Tax B shall be levied on Assessor’s Parcels of Property Owner Association Property, Public Property, Exempt Welfare Exemption Property, or Parking Property.
Should an Assessor’s Parcel no longer be classified as Property Owner Association Property, Public Property, Exempt Welfare Exemption Property, or Parking Property, its tax-exempt status will be revoked.
F. APPEALS AND INTERPRETATIONS
Any landowner or resident may file a written appeal of the Special Tax on his/her property with the CFD Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes. During the pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes must be paid on or before the payment date established when the levy was made. The appeal must specify the reasons why the appellant claims the Special Tax is in error. The CFD Administrator shall review the appeal, meet with the appellant if the CFD Administrator deems necessary, and advise the appellant of its determination. If the CFD Administrator agrees with the appellant, the CFD Administrator shall eliminate or reduce the Special Tax on the appellant’s property and/or provide a refund to the appellant. If the CFD Administrator disagrees with the appellant and the appellant is dissatisfied with the determination, the appellant then has 30 days in which to appeal to the Council by filing a written notice of appeal with the City Clerk, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes. The second appeal must specify the reasons for its disagreement with the CFD Administrator’s determination.
Interpretations may be made by the Council by ordinance or resolution for purposes of clarifying any vagueness or ambiguity in this Rate and Method of Apportionment.
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax will be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that CFD No. 2026-2 may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect the Special Tax at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose on delinquent Assessor’s Parcels as permitted by the Act.
H. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Tax A shall be levied as long as necessary to meet the Special Tax A Requirement. The Special Tax B shall be levied as long as necessary to meet the Special Tax B Requirement.

SUBJECT: CONSIDER AUTHORIZING A $165,000 APPROPRIATION FROM THE EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT FUND FOR THE PURCHASE OF THREE 2027 FORD POLICE
INTERCEPTORS FROM FRITTS FORD FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT CONSIDER DECLARING THREE FORD POLICE INTERCEPTORS (UNITS 410, 412, AND 415) AS SURPLUS AND AVAILABLE FOR PARTS OR FOR SALE AT AUCTION REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider authorizing the purchase of three 2027 Ford Police Interceptors to replace two vehicles currently being used by Police Department patrol personnel and one vehicle that was totaled in a not–at–fault on–duty traffic collision. The City Council is also requested to consider declaring three Ford Police Interceptors as surplus or for sale at auction.
BACKGROUND: The City Council approved the purchase of three 2026 Ford Police Interceptors for patrol use in the Police Department Fiscal Year 2026–27 Budget. The Department would like to purchase 2027 Ford Police Interceptors that would replace two Ford Police Interceptors (Units 410 and 415) currently in the Police Department’s fleet and Unit 412 that was totaled in a not–at–fault on–duty traffic collision.
Unit 410 is a 2018 Ford Police Interceptor with high mileage and is one of the oldest units in the fleet. This vehicle has a worn interior with a ripped seat, and the exterior has several small dents and scratches along with sun–damaged headlights. This vehicle has a history of cooling, transmission, and suspension issues and is out of warranty, which would result in significant costs for future mechanical repairs.
Unit 412 is a 2023 Ford Police Interceptor that was involved in a not–at–fault on–duty traffic collision (Crime Report 25–5183) and has been declared a total loss.
Unit 415 is a 2018 Ford Police Interceptor with high mileage and is also one of the oldest units in the fleet. The interior has rips and tears near the driver’s seat and door panel, and there are several small dents and scratches along the exterior of the vehicle along with tears in the exterior graphics. Throughout its service life, this vehicle has had several mechanical issues, including transmission and exhaust repairs, along with cooling and heating issues. This unit is currently out of warranty, and any new issues could result in substantial costs in repairs. In speaking with the City’s mechanic, both Units 410 and 415 will likely require continued and costly maintenance in order to keep them running properly for patrol operations.
Fritts Ford has been the chosen vendor for Police Department vehicles for the past several fiscal years, and its pricing has been consistently the lowest for patrol black– and–white Police Interceptors. Fritts Ford confirmed they have 2027 Ford Police Interceptors available at $54,545.41 each and advised that the window to place orders is currently open. The total estimated cost for three 2027 Ford Police Interceptors is $163,636.23.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 10/05/2026 Page 24 of 234 Additionally, Units 410 and 415 are proposed to be declared as surplus and made available for parts to support vehicles currently in service in the Police Department’s fleet or for sale at auction; Unit 412 would be auctioned. The vehicles’ identification information is as follows:
Year and Model Unit No. VIN Mileage Estimated Value
2018 Ford Police Interceptor 410 1FM5K8AR1JGC74789 110,814 $5,500 2023 Ford Police Interceptor 412 1FM5K8ABXPGB66747 32,444 $3,000 2018 Ford Police Interceptor 415 1FM5K8AROJGA83591 121,712 $5,500 FISCAL IMPACT: If authorized by the City Council, funding for the purchase of three black–and–white 2027 Ford Police Interceptors for patrol use would result in an expenditure of $165,000 from the Police Department Fiscal Year 2026–27 Budget from Equipment Replacement Fund Account No. 1750–4426–62020–400–00000.
No fiscal impact to the City would result from declaring existing vehicles in the patrol fleet as surplus and making them available for parts or for sale at auction. However, the City could receive up to $14,000 from the auction of said vehicles. Proceeds from the sale would be credited to the Equipment Replacement Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
1. Authorize a $165,000 appropriation from the Equipment Replacement Fund for the purchase of three 2027 Ford Police Interceptors from Fritts Ford for the Police Department; and
2. Declare three Ford Police Interceptors (Units 410, 412, and 415) as surplus and available for parts or for sale at auction.

PREPARER: M. BUTLER
SUBJECT: CONSIDER AUTHORIZING THE RECEIPT OF A $16,201 GRANT FROM THE FISCAL YEAR 2025 EDWARD BYRNE MEMORIAL JUSTICE ASSISTANCE GRANT PROGRAM TO
PURCHASE RADAR SPEED SIGNS
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider authorizing the receipt of a $16,201 grant from the Fiscal Year 2025 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program to purchase radar speed signs.
BACKGROUND: In October 2024, the Police Department submitted a grant application for funding opportunity Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Fiscal Year 2024 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program, requesting to use its allocation of $16,201 toward the purchase of radar speed signs. Due to a delay in grant funding, the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) approved the grant application in July 2026 for an award under the funding opportunity BJA FY 25 JAG Program.
The U.S. Department of Justice, OJP, BJA seeks to award funds to eligible units of local government to provide additional personnel, equipment, supplies, contractual support, training, technical assistance, and information systems for criminal justice to support a range of program areas under the JAG Program — one of which is law enforcement programs. To address traffic safety related issues in the City, the Department is requesting to use its approved FY 25 JAG grant funds toward the purchase of radar speed signs. The signs would be posted in areas of concern known to have a high percentage of injury traffic collisions and speed violations. Having additional radar speed signs would enhance the Department’s Traffic Safety Program’s goal of reducing vehicle speeds and slowing speeding drivers, thereby reducing the number of persons killed and injured from motor vehicle collisions caused by unsafe speeds. By increasing driver awareness of their speed, the Department hopes to create safer roadways for everyone who lives, works, or visits the Montclair community.
Along with an increase in population and newly desired destinations that promote living, working, shopping, and entertainment experiences comes an increase in motorists traveling the City’s streets and, unfortunately, an increase in traffic safety related problems. According to the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Crash Rankings for 2020, the City of Montclair ranked the sixth worst city out of 91 other cities with similar-sized populations in the State of California for total fatal and injury collisions. From 2020 through 2022, the primary collision factors (PCFs) in the City of Montclair that resulted in injury or death were improper turning, unsafe speed, and driving under the influence.
Unsafe speed caused 205 collisions with 100 injury collisions. According to OTS Crash Rankings for 2020, Montclair ranked 11 out of 91 other cities for speed-related collisions.
Radar speed signs act as a traffic-calming device, encouraging voluntary compliance with speed limits. They would have a full-matrix display and would be posted in areas of concern known to have a high percentage of injury traffic collisions and speed violations.
They would include a sign for the posted speed limit and a variable speed-triggered sign MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 10/05/2026 Page 26 of 234 capable of cycling between the motorist’s speed and a warning message, such as “slow down” or “too fast.” The radar sign has the capability to collect traffic data and store it by location for later analysis. This feature would enable staff to quickly determine where resources should be deployed to affect positive change. Radar speed signs have the potential to reduce vehicle speeds and slow speeding drivers, reducing the risk of collisions and increasing awareness about and compliance with speed limits. Slowing down speeding drivers not only protects motorists but protects pedestrians and bicyclists as well. Solar battery kits would also be purchased with each radar sign, providing year-round operation. The radar speed signs are easy to both mount and remove and are capable of being quickly transferred to any desired location or they can be permanently mounted.
Bid quotations for the purchase of four radar speed signs were received from the following vendors:
Vendor Bid Amount
Barco Products, LLC $16,200.00
JTB Supply $17,596.96
Hi-Way Safety $20,063.28
Barco Products, LLC is the selected vendor for the purchase of radar speed signs offering the lowest bid. Each vendor recommended a slightly different amp-hour (Ah) for the battery on the radar speed sign. The higher amp-hour does add to the total cost, but Barco Products has assured staff that a 20-Ah battery would be sufficient. Also, as a condition of the award, recipients must perform a System for Award Management (SAM) review of vendors and verify that the vendor is not debarred or suspended from doing business with the U.S. Government. Barco Products, LLC is currently registered in SAM and does not have any active exclusions records.
FISCAL IMPACT: If approved by the City Council, the City would receive $16,201 to purchase radar speed signs from the FY 25 JAG Program. The City is already enrolled in the Automated Standard Application for Payments (ASAP) for Department of Justice award payments, which is a completely electronic system for requesting payment of award funds. Police staff members would draw down funds from the FY 25 JAG grant award in ASAP to pay the vendor.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council authorize the receipt of a $16,201 grant from the Fiscal Year 2025 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program to purchase radar speed signs.

The Montclair Police Department proposes to utilize 2024 Justice Assistance Grant funds to procure radar speed signs to address ongoing traffic safety related problems in the City of Montclair. The signs would be posted in areas of concern known to have a high percentage of injury traffic collisions and speed violations. Having additional radar speed signs would enhance the Department’s Traffic Safety Program’s goal of reducing vehicle speeds and slowing speeding drivers, thereby reducing the number of persons killed and injured from motor vehicle collisions caused by unsafe speeds. By increasing driver awareness of their speed, the Department hopes to create safer roadways for everyone who lives, works, or visits the Montclair community.

Office for Civil Rights Notice for All Recipients
The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) enforces federal civil rights laws and other provisions that prohibit discrimination by recipients of federal financial assistance from OJP, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW).
Several civil rights laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, require recipients of federal financial assistance (recipients) to give assurances that they will comply with those laws. Taken together, these and other civil rights laws prohibit recipients from discriminating in the provision of services and employment because of race, color, national origin, religion, disability, and sex or from discriminating in the provision of services on the bases of age.
Some recipients of DOJ financial assistance have additional obligations to comply with other applicable nondiscrimination provisions like the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of religion in addition to race, color, national origin, and sex. Recipients may also have related requirements regarding the development and implementation of equal employment opportunity programs.
OCR provides technical assistance, training, and other resources to help recipients comply with civil rights obligations.
Further, OCR administratively enforces civil rights laws and nondiscrimination provisions by investigating DOJ recipients that are the subject of discrimination complaints. In addition, OCR conducts compliance reviews of DOJ recipients based on regulatory criteria.

MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 10/05/2026 Page 42 of 234 Memorandum Regarding NEPA
NEPA Letter Type
OJP - Ongoing NEPA Compliance Incorporated into Further Developmental Stages NEPA Letter
All BJA awards are subject to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and other related federal laws (including the National Historic Preservation Act), if applicable. Award recipients (and subrecipients, as applicable) must support BJA’s compliance with NEPA by providing details about their project, its location, and any resources that might be affected. BJA complies with NEPA (and other related federal laws) for an award-funded activity by evaluating the environmental impacts of the activity in one of three levels of analysis: a Categorical Exclusion (CATEX), an Environmental Assessment (EA), or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). See https://bja.ojp.gov/funding/nepa-guidance for additional information regarding NEPA implementation.
Carefully review the conditions on this award for information about any requirements specific to NEPA compliance for this award.
After completion of any required environmental analysis, throughout the term of this award the recipient must inform BJA of (1) any change(s) that it is considering making to the previously assessed activity that may be relevant to environmental impact; or (2) any proposed new activities or changed circumstances that may require assessment as to environmental impact, such as new activities that involve the use of chemicals or involve construction or major renovation. The recipient may not implement a proposed change or new activity until BJA, with the assistance of the recipient, has determined whether the proposed change or new activity (or changed circumstances) will require additional review under NEPA. Approval for implementation will not be unreasonably withheld as long as any requested modification(s) is consistent with eligible program purposes and found acceptable under an approved environmental impact review process.
Questions about NEPA compliance may be directed to your grant manager.

Project Description
The Montclair Police Department proposes to utilize 2024 Justice Assistance Grant funds to procure radar speed signs to address ongoing traffic safety related problems in the City of Montclair. The signs would be posted in areas of concern known to have a high percentage of injury traffic collisions and speed violations. Having additional radar speed signs would enhance the Department’s Traffic Safety Program’s goal of reducing vehicle speeds and slowing speeding drivers, thereby reducing the number of persons killed and injured from motor vehicle collisions caused by unsafe speeds. By increasing driver awareness of their speed, the Department hopes to create safer roadways for everyone who lives, works, or visits the Montclair community.

Award Conditions
This award is offered subject to the conditions or limitations set forth in the Award Information, Project Information, Financial Information, and Award Conditions.
Condition 1
Compliance with general appropriations-law restrictions on the use of federal funds (FY 2025) The recipient, and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, must comply with all applicable restrictions on the use of federal funds set out in federal appropriations statutes. Pertinent restrictions that may be set out in applicable appropriations acts are indicated at https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/FY25AppropriationsRestrictions.htm, and are incorporated by reference here.
Should a question arise as to whether a particular use of federal funds by a recipient (or a subrecipient) would or might fall within the scope of an appropriations-law restriction, the recipient is to contact OJP for guidance, and may not proceed without the express prior written approval of OJP.
Condition 2
Compliance with DOJ regulations pertaining to civil rights and nondiscrimination - 28 C.F.R. Part 38 The recipient, and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, must comply with all applicable requirements of 28 C.F.R. Part 38.
Among other things, 28 C.F.R. Part 38 states that recipients may not use direct Federal financial assistance from the Department of Justice to support or engage in any explicitly religious activities except when consistent with the Page: 5 of 24
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 10/05/2026 Page 45 of 234 Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and any other applicable requirements. An organization receiving Federal financial assistance also may not, in providing services funded by the Department of Justice or in outreach activities related to such services, discriminate against a program beneficiary or prospective program beneficiary on the basis of religion, a religious belief, a refusal to hold a religious belief, or refusal to attend or participate in a religious practice. Part 38 also sets out rules and requirements that pertain to recipient and subrecipient ("subgrantee") organizations that engage in or conduct explicitly religious activities, as well as rules and requirements that pertain to recipients and subrecipients that are faith-based or religious organizations. In addition, Part 38 states that a faith-based organization that participates in a Department of Justice funded program retains its independence from the Government and may continue to carry out its mission consistent with religious freedom and conscience protections in Federal law.
Recipients and subrecipients that provide social services under this award must give written notice to beneficiaries and prospective beneficiaries prior to the provision of services (if practicable) which shall include language substantially similar to the language in 28 CFR Part 38, Appendix C, sections (1) through (4). A sample written notice may be found at https://www.ojp.gov/program/civil-rights-office/partnerships-faith-based-and-other-neighborhood-organizations.
In certain instances, a faith-based or religious organization may be able to take religion into account when making hiring decisions, provided it satisfies certain requirements. For more information, see “Nondiscrimination provisions and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act,” accessible at https://www.ojp.gov/funding/explore/legaloverview2025/ civilrightsrequirements.
Condition 3
Requirements pertaining to prohibited conduct related to trafficking in persons (including reporting requirements and OJP authority to terminate award)
The recipient, and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, must comply with all applicable requirements (including requirements to report allegations) pertaining to prohibited conduct related to the trafficking of persons, whether on the part of recipients, subrecipients ("subgrantees"), or individuals defined (for purposes of this condition) as "employees" of the recipient or of any subrecipient.
The details of the recipient's obligations related to prohibited conduct related to trafficking in persons are posted on the OJP web site at https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/ProhibitedConduct-Trafficking.htm (Award condition: Prohibited conduct by recipients and subrecipients related to trafficking in persons (including reporting requirements and OJP authority to terminate award)), and are incorporated by reference here.
Condition 4
All subawards ("subgrants") must have specific federal authorization The recipient, and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, must comply with all applicable requirements for authorization of any subaward. This condition applies to agreements that -- for purposes of federal grants administrative requirements -- OJP considers a "subaward" (and therefore does not consider a procurement "contract").
The details of the requirement for authorization of any subaward are posted on the OJP website at https://ojp.gov/ funding/Explore/SubawardAuthorization.htm (Award condition: All subawards ("subgrants") must have specific federal authorization), and are incorporated by reference here.
Condition 5
Specific post-award approval required to use a noncompetitive approach in any procurement contract that would exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold
The recipient, and any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier, must comply with all applicable requirements to obtain specific advance approval to use a noncompetitive approach in any procurement contract that would exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, as set forth in the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). See the definition of simplified acquisition threshold in the FAR at 48 CFR part 2, subpart 2.1. This condition applies to agreements that -- for purposes of federal grants administrative requirements -- OJP considers a procurement "contract" (and therefore does not consider a subaward).
Page: 6 of 24
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 10/05/2026 Page 46 of 234 The details of the requirement for advance approval to use a noncompetitive approach in a procurement contract under an OJP award are posted on the OJP website at https://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/NoncompetitiveProcurement.htm (Award condition: Specific post-award approval required to use a noncompetitive approach in a procurement contract (if contract would exceed Simplified Acquisition Threshold)), and are incorporated by reference here.
Condition 6
Federal Civil Rights and Nondiscrimination Laws (certification) The recipient agrees that its compliance with all applicable Federal civil rights and nondiscrimination laws is material to the government's decision to make this award and any payment thereunder, including for purposes of the False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. 3729-3730 and 3801-3812), and, by accepting this award, certifies that it does not operate any programs (including any such programs having components relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion) that violate any applicable Federal civil rights or nondiscrimination laws.
Condition 7
Requirements of the award; remedies for non-compliance or for materially false statements The conditions of this award are material requirements of the award. Compliance with any assurances or certifications submitted by or on behalf of the recipient that relate to conduct during the period of performance also is a material requirement of this award.
Limited Exceptions. In certain special circumstances, the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") may determine that a legal notice regarding award requirements is necessary or that it will not enforce, or enforce only in part, one or more requirements otherwise applicable to the award. Any such notice or exception regarding enforcement, including any such notice or exception made during the period of performance, is (or will be during the period of performance) set out through the Office of Justice Programs ("OJP") webpage entitled "Legal Notices: Special circumstances as to particular award conditions" (ojp.gov/funding/Explore/LegalNotices-AwardReqts.htm), and incorporated by reference into the award.
By signing and accepting this award on behalf of the recipient, the authorized recipient official accepts all material requirements of the award, and specifically adopts, as if personally executed by the authorized recipient official, all assurances or certifications submitted by or on behalf of the recipient that relate to conduct during the period of performance.
Failure to comply with one or more award requirements -- whether a condition set out in full below, a condition incorporated by reference below, or an assurance or certification related to conduct during the award period -- may result in OJP taking appropriate action with respect to the recipient and the award. Among other things, the OJP may withhold award funds, disallow costs, or suspend or terminate the award. DOJ, including OJP, also may take other legal action as appropriate.
Any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement to the federal government related to this award (or concealment or omission of a material fact) may be the subject of criminal prosecution (including under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or 1621, and/or 34 U.S.C. 10271-10273), and also may lead to imposition of civil penalties and administrative remedies for false claims or otherwise (including under 31 U.S.C. 3729-3730 and 3801-3812).
Should any provision of a requirement of this award be held to be invalid or unenforceable by its terms, that provision shall first be applied with a limited construction so as to give it the maximum effect permitted by law. Should it be held, instead, that the provision is utterly invalid or -unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed severable from this award.
Condition 8
Effect of failure to address audit issues
The recipient understands and agrees that the DOJ awarding agency (OJP or OVW, as appropriate) may withhold award funds, or may impose other related requirements, if (as determined by the DOJ awarding agency) the recipient does not satisfactorily and promptly address outstanding issues from audits required by the Part 200 Uniform Requirements (or by the terms of this award), or other outstanding issues that arise in connection with audits, investigations, or reviews of DOJ awards.

Condition 19
Encouragement of policies to ban text messaging while driving Pursuant to Executive Order 13513, "Federal Leadership on Reducing Text Messaging While Driving," 74 Fed. Reg. 51225 (October 1, 2009), DOJ encourages recipients and subrecipients ("subgrantees") to adopt and enforce policies banning employees from text messaging while driving any vehicle during the course of performing work funded by this award, and to establish workplace safety policies and conduct education, awareness, and other outreach to decrease crashes caused by distracted drivers.
Condition 20
Reclassification of various statutory provisions to a new Title 34 of the United States Code On September 1, 2017, various statutory provisions previously codified elsewhere in the U.S. Code were editorially reclassified (that is, moved and renumbered) to a new Title 34, entitled "Crime Control and Law Enforcement." The reclassification encompassed a number of statutory provisions pertinent to OJP awards (that is, OJP grants and cooperative agreements), including many provisions previously codified in Title 42 of the U.S. Code.
Effective as of September 1, 2017, any reference in this award document to a statutory provision that has been reclassified to the new Title 34 of the U.S. Code is to be read as a reference to that statutory provision as reclassified to Title 34. This rule of construction specifically includes references set out in award conditions, references set out in material incorporated by reference through award conditions, and references set out in other award requirements.
Condition 21
Restrictions and certifications regarding non-disclosure agreements and related matters No recipient or subrecipient ("subgrantee") under this award, or entity that receives a procurement contract or subcontract with any funds under this award, may require any employee or contractor to sign an internal confidentiality agreement or statement that prohibits or otherwise restricts, or purports to prohibit or restrict, the reporting (in accordance with law) of waste, fraud, or abuse to an investigative or law enforcement representative of a federal department or agency authorized to receive such information.
The foregoing is not intended, and shall not be understood by the agency making this award, to contravene requirements applicable to Standard Form 312 (which relates to classified information), Form 4414 (which relates to sensitive compartmented information), or any other form issued by a federal department or agency governing the nondisclosure of classified information.
1. In accepting this award, the recipient--
a. represents that it neither requires nor has required internal confidentiality agreements or statements from employees or contractors that currently prohibit or otherwise currently restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict) employees or contractors from reporting waste, fraud, or abuse as described above; and b. certifies that, if it learns or is notified that it is or has been requiring its employees or contractors to execute agreements or statements that prohibit or otherwise restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict), reporting of waste, fraud, or abuse as described above, it will immediately stop any further obligations of award funds, will provide prompt written notification to the federal agency making this award, and will resume (or permit resumption of) such obligations only if expressly authorized to do so by that agency.
2. If the recipient does or is authorized under this award to make subawards ("subgrants"), procurement contracts, or both--
a. it represents that--
(1) it has determined that no other entity that the recipient's application proposes may or will receive award funds (whether through a subaward ("subgrant"), procurement contract, or subcontract under a procurement contract) either Page: 11 of 24
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 10/05/2026 Page 51 of 234 requires or has required internal confidentiality agreements or statements from employees or contractors that currently prohibit or otherwise currently restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict) employees or contractors from reporting waste, fraud, or abuse as described above; and
(2) it has made appropriate inquiry, or otherwise has an adequate factual basis, to support this representation; and b. it certifies that, if it learns or is notified that any subrecipient, contractor, or subcontractor entity that receives funds under this award is or has been requiring its employees or contractors to execute agreements or statements that prohibit or otherwise restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict), reporting of waste, fraud, or abuse as described above, it will immediately stop any further obligations of award funds to or by that entity, will provide prompt written notification to the federal agency making this award, and will resume (or permit resumption of) such obligations only if expressly authorized to do so by that agency.
Condition 22
OJP Training Guiding Principles
Any training or training materials that the recipient -- or any subrecipient ("subgrantee") at any tier -- develops or delivers with OJP award funds must adhere to the OJP Training Guiding Principles for Grantees and Subgrantees, available at https://www.ojp.gov/funding/implement/training-guiding-principles-grantees-and-subgrantees.
Condition 23
Requirement to report potentially duplicative funding
If the recipient currently has other active awards of federal funds, or if the recipient receives any other award of federal funds during the period of performance for this award, the recipient promptly must determine whether funds from any of those other federal awards have been, are being, or are to be used (in whole or in part) for one or more of the identical cost items for which funds are provided under this award. If so, the recipient must promptly notify the DOJ awarding agency (OJP or OVW, as appropriate) in writing of the potential duplication, and, if so requested by the DOJ awarding agency, must seek a budget-modification or change-of-project-scope Grant Award Modification (GAM) to eliminate any inappropriate duplication of funding.
Condition 24
Required training for Grant Award Administrator and Financial Manager The Grant Award Administrator and all Financial Managers for this award must have successfully completed an "OJP financial management and grant administration training" by 120 days after the date of the recipient's acceptance of the award. Successful completion of such a training on or after January 1, 2022, will satisfy this condition.
In the event that either the Grant Award Administrator or a Financial Manager for this award changes during the period of performance, the new Grant Award Administrator or Financial Manager must have successfully completed an "OJP financial management and grant administration training" by 120 calendar days after the date the Entity Administrator enters updated Grant Award Administrator or Financial Manager information in JustGrants. Successful completion of such a training on or after January 1, 2022, will satisfy this condition.
A list of OJP trainings that OJP will consider "OJP financial management and grant administration training" for purposes of this condition is available at https://onlinegfmt.training.ojp.gov/. All trainings that satisfy this condition include a session on grant fraud prevention and detection.
The recipient should anticipate that OJP will immediately withhold ("freeze") award funds if the recipient fails to comply with this condition. The recipient's failure to comply also may lead OJP to impose additional appropriate conditions on this award.

Condition 26
Potential imposition of additional requirements
The recipient agrees to comply with any additional requirements that may be imposed by the DOJ awarding agency (OJP or OVW, as appropriate) during the period of performance for this award, if the recipient is designated as "highrisk" for purposes of the DOJ high-risk grantee list.
Condition 27
Requirement to report actual or imminent breach of personally identifiable information (PII) The recipient (and any "subrecipient" at any tier) must have written procedures in place to respond in the event of an actual or imminent "breach" (OMB M-17-12) if it (or a subrecipient) -- (1) creates, collects, uses, processes, stores, maintains, disseminates, discloses, or disposes of "Personally Identifiable Information (PII)" (2 CFR 200.1) within the scope of an OJP grant-funded program or activity, or (2) uses or operates a "Federal information system" (OMB Circular A-130).

Condition 45
Recipients utilizing award funds for forensic genealogy testing must adhere to the United States Department of Justice Interim Policy Forensic Genealogical DNA Analysis and Searching (https://www.justice.gov/olp/page/file/1204386/ download), and must collect and report the metrics identified in Section IX of that document to BJA.
Condition 46
Establishment of trust fund
If award funds are being drawn down in advance, the recipient (or a subrecipient, with respect to a subaward) is required to establish a trust fund account. Recipients (and subrecipients) must maintain advance payments of federal awards in interest-bearing accounts, unless regulatory exclusions apply (2 C.F.R. 200.305(b)(11)). The trust fund, including any interest, may not be used to pay debts or expenses incurred by other activities beyond the scope of the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program. The recipient also agrees to obligate the award funds in the trust fund (including any interest earned) during the period of performance for the award and expend within 90 days thereafter. Any unobligated or unexpended funds, including interest earned, must be returned to OJP at the time of closeout.
Condition 47
As of the first day of the period of performance for the award, the recipient may choose to incur project costs using non-federal funds, but any such project costs are incurred at the recipient's risk until, at a minimum-- (1) the recipient makes a valid acceptance of the award, and (2) all applicable withholding conditions are removed by OJP (via an Award Condition Modification (ACM)). (A withholding condition is a condition in the award document that precludes the recipient from expending or drawing down all or a portion of the award funds until the condition is removed.) Except to the extent (if any) that an award condition expressly precludes reimbursement of project costs incurred "atrisk," if and when the recipient makes a valid acceptance of this award and OJP removes each applicable withholding Page: 17 of 24
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 10/05/2026 Page 57 of 234 condition through an Award Condition Modification (ACM), the recipient is authorized to obligate (federal) award funds to reimburse itself for project costs incurred "at-risk" earlier during the period of performance (such as project costs incurred prior to award acceptance or prior to removal of an applicable withholding condition), provided that those project costs otherwise are allowable costs under the award.
Condition 48
Submission of eligible records relevant to the National Instant Background Check System Consonant with federal statutes that pertain to firearms and background checks -- including 18 U.S.C. 922 and 34 U.S.C. ch. 409 -- if the recipient (or any subrecipient at any tier) uses this award to fund (in whole or in part) a specific project or program (such as a law enforcement, prosecution, or court program) that results in any court dispositions, information, or other records that are "eligible records" (under federal or State law) relevant to the National Instant Background Check System (NICS), or that has as one of its purposes the establishment or improvement of records systems that contain any court dispositions, information, or other records that are "eligible records" (under federal or State law) relevant to the NICS, the recipient (or subrecipient, if applicable) must ensure that all such court dispositions, information, or other records that are "eligible records" (under federal or State law) relevant to the NICS are promptly made available to the NICS or to the "State" repository/database that is electronically available to (and accessed by) the NICS, and -- when appropriate -- promptly must update, correct, modify, or remove such NICSrelevant "eligible records".
In the event of minor and transitory non-compliance, the recipient may submit evidence to demonstrate diligent monitoring of compliance with this condition (including subrecipient compliance). DOJ will give great weight to any such evidence in any express written determination regarding this condition.
Condition 49

Any request for an extension of the period of performance beyond a four-year award period will require approval, and the approval (if any) will be at the discretion of OJP.
Condition 51

MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 10/05/2026 Page 58 of 234 within the funded “program or activity.”
With respect to the "program or activity" funded in whole or part under this award (including any such program or activity of any subrecipient at any tier), and consistent with federal law as cited in para. 1 of this condition, no State or local government entity, agency, or official (including a government-contracted correctional facility) within the funded program or activity may make any public disclosure of any federal law-enforcement information in a direct or indirect attempt to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection any fugitive from justice under 18 U.S.C. ch. 49, or any alien who has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of 8 U.S.C. ch. 12—without regard to whether such disclosure would constitute (or could form a predicate for) a violation of 18 U.S.C. 1071 or 1072 or of 8 U.S.C. 1324(a).
3. Monitoring. The recipient's monitoring responsibilities include monitoring of subrecipient compliance with this condition.
4. Allowable costs. To the extent that such costs are not reimbursed under any other federal program, award funds may be obligated for the reasonable, necessary, and allocable costs (if any) of actions (e.g., training) designed to ensure compliance with this condition.
5. Rules of construction.
A. For purposes of this condition—

(4) “DHS” means the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
B. Nothing in this condition shall be understood to authorize or require any recipient, any subrecipient at any tier, any State or local government, or any other entity (or individual) to violate any federal law, including any applicable civil rights or nondiscrimination law.
C. This condition shall be enforceable to the extent that it does not otherwise contravene any express requirement of any federal law, or of any judicial ruling, governing or applicable to the award.
Condition 53
Noninterference (with award funds and within the funded "program or activity") with federal law enforcement: Notice of scheduled release
SCOPE. This condition applies throughout the entire award period of performance. Its provisions must be among those included in any subaward at any tier.
1. No use of funds to interfere with "removal" process: Notice of scheduled release date and time.
Consonant with federal law enforcement statutes—including 8 U.S.C. 1231 (for an alien incarcerated by a State or local government, a 90-day "removal period" during which the federal government "shall" detain and then "shall" remove an alien from the U.S. "begins" no later than "the date the alien is released from ... confinement"; also, the federal government is expressly authorized to make payments to a "State or a political subdivision of the State ... with respect to the incarceration of [an] undocumented criminal alien"); 8 U.S.C. 1226 (the federal government "shall take into custody" certain criminal aliens "when the alien is released"); and 8 U.S.C. 1366 (requiring an annual report to Congress on "the number of illegal alien[ felons] in Federal and State prisons" and programs underway "to ensure the prompt removal" from the U.S. of removable "criminal aliens")—no State or local government entity, agency, or official (including a government-contracted correctional facility) may use funds under this award to interfere with the "removal" process by failing to provide (as early as practicable (see para. 5.B. below)) advance notice to DHS of the scheduled release date and time for a particular alien, if a State or local government (or government-contracted) correctional facility receives from DHS a formal written request pursuant to the INA that seeks such advance notice.
2. Noninterference with "removal" process: Notice of scheduled release date and time within the funded “program or activity.”
With respect to the "program or activity" funded in whole or part under this award (including any such program or activity of any subrecipient at any tier), and consonant with federal law enforcement statutes as cited in para. 1 of this condition, no State or local government entity, agency, or official (including a government-contracted correctional facility) within the funded program or activity may interfere with the "removal" process by failing to provide (as early as practicable (see para. 4.B. below)) advance notice to DHS of the scheduled release date and time for a particular alien, if a State or local government (or government-contracted) correctional facility receives from DHS a formal written request pursuant to the INA that seeks such advance notice.
3. Monitoring. The recipient's monitoring responsibilities include monitoring of subrecipient compliance with this condition.
4. Allowable costs. To the extent that such costs are not reimbursed under any other federal program, award funds may be obligated for the reasonable, necessary, and allocable costs (if any) of actions (e.g., training) designed to ensure compliance with this condition.
5. Rules of construction
A. Nothing in this condition shall be understood to authorize or require any recipient, any subrecipient at any tier, any State or local government, or any other entity or individual to maintain (or detain) any individual in custody beyond the date and time the individual otherwise would have been released.
B. Applicability.
(1) Current DHS practice is ordinarily to request advance notice of scheduled release "as early as practicable (at least 48 hours, if possible)." (See DHS Form I-247A (3/17)). If (e.g., in light of the date DHS made such request) the scheduled release date and time for an alien are such as not to allow for the advance notice that DHS has requested, it shall NOT be a violation of this condition to provide only as much advance notice as, in fact, practicable. (2) Current DHS practice is to use the same form for a second, distinct purpose—to request that an individual be detained for up to 48 hours AFTER the scheduled release. This condition does NOT encompass such DHS requests for detention.

Condition 54
Noninterference (with award funds and within the funded "program or activity") with federal law enforcement:
Interrogation of certain aliens
SCOPE. This condition applies throughout the entire award period of performance. Its provisions must be among those included in any subaward (at any tier).
1. No use of funds to interfere with statutory law enforcement access to correctional facilities.
Consonant with federal law enforcement statutes and regulations—including 8 U.S.C. 1357(a) (under which certain federal officers and employees "have power without warrant ... to interrogate any alien or person believed to be an alien as to his right to be or to remain” in the United States), and 8 C.F.R. 287.5(a) (under which that power may be exercised "anywhere in or outside” the United States)—no State or local government entity, agency, or official within the funded program or activity may use funds under this award to interfere with the exercise of that power to interrogate "without warrant" (by agents of the United States acting under color of federal law) by impeding access to any State or local government (or government-contracted) correctional facility by such agents for the purpose of "interrogat[ing] any alien or person believed to be an alien as to his [or her] right to be or to remain in the United States."
2. Noninterference with statutory law enforcement access to correctional facilities within the funded “program or activity.”
With respect to the "program or activity" funded in whole or part under this award (including any such program or activity of any subrecipient at any tier), and consonant with federal law enforcement statutes and regulations as cited in para. 1 of this condition, no State or local government entity, agency, or official within the funded program or activity may interfere with the exercise of that power to interrogate "without warrant" (by agents of the United States acting under color of federal law) by impeding access to any State or local government (or government-contracted) correctional facility by such agents for the purpose of "interrogat[ing] any alien or person believed to be an alien as to his [or her] right to be or to remain in the United States."
3. Monitoring. The recipient's monitoring responsibilities include monitoring of subrecipient compliance with this condition.
4. Allowable costs. To the extent that such costs are not reimbursed under any other federal program, award funds may be obligated for the reasonable, necessary, and allocable costs (if any) of actions (e.g., training) designed to ensure compliance with this condition.
5. Rules of construction
A. For purposes of this condition:
(1) The term "alien" means what it means under sec. 101 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(3)), except that, with respect to a juvenile offender, it means “criminal alien.” (2) The term “juvenile offender” means what it means under 28 C.F.R. 31.304(f) (as in effect on Jan. 1, 2026.) (3) The term "criminal alien" means, with respect to a juvenile offender, an alien who is deportable on the basis of— (a) conviction described in 8 U.S.C. 1227(a)(2), or
(b) conduct described in 8 U.S.C. 1227(a)(4).
(4) The term "conviction" means what it means under 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(48). (Adjudication of a juvenile as having committed an offense does not constitute "conviction" for purposes of this condition.) (5) The term "correctional facility" means what it means under 34 U.S.C. 10251(a)(7)) as of Jan. 1, 2026. (6) The term "impede" includes taking or continuing any action, or implementing or maintaining any law, policy, rule, or practice, that—
(a) is designed to prevent or to significantly delay or complicate, or (b) has the effect of preventing or of significantly delaying or complicating. (7) "State" and "local government" include any agency or other entity thereof, but not any public institution of higher education or Indian tribe.
(8) "Program or activity" means what it means under title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (see 42 U.S.C. 2000d-4a).

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: OCTOBER 5, 2026
SECTION: CONSENT - ADMIN. REPORTS
ITEM NO.: 11
FILE I.D.: MCF100
DEPT.: HUMAN SVCS./MCF
PREPARER: A. COLUNGA
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVING THE PURCHASE OF WHOLE TURKEYS AND ASSORTED ITEMS
FOR THE MONTCLAIR HOLIDAY FOOD AND TOY BASKET PROGRAM
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The Montclair Community Foundation (MCF) Board of Directors is requested to consider approving the use of funds donated to MCF to purchase whole turkeys and assorted items for the Holiday Food and Toy Basket Program.
BACKGROUND: The Montclair City Council also serves in its capacity as the MCF Board of Directors. The vision of MCF is to work collectively and collaboratively to strengthen services and enhance the quality of life for residents by promoting health, wellness, and economic stability for all including the most vulnerable in our community. The mission of MCF is to guarantee a quality community for all, by working together as diverse, committed individuals and organizations to make an impact that improves the overall well–being of the community.
For 41 years, the City has coordinated the Holiday Food and Toy Basket Program to serve families in Montclair who have low-income with a basket of food to prepare a holiday meal and toys for children. Since 2015, MCF has partnered with the City to provide turkeys and assorted food items that are given to each of the qualified food basket recipients. Funded entirely through the generous food, toy, and monetary donations to MCF from businesses, organizations and individuals throughout the community, the Holiday Food and Toy Basket Program was able to supply over 550 disadvantaged Montclair children, their family members, and senior citizens with a holiday meal last year.
To ensure those in need in our community receive the provisions they need during the holiday season, staff recommends the purchase of whole turkeys and assorted food items to provide each Holiday Food and Toy Basket recipient with ingredients for a complete holiday meal. The costs of the program will be paid for with donations to MCF.
Staff recommends using $25,000 of funds donated to MCF to purchase whole turkeys, and assorted food and toys for the Holiday Food & Toy Basket Program.
FISCAL IMPACT: Should the MCF Board approve the purchase of turkeys and assorted items, the City will make the purchase for the Holiday Food and Toy Basket Program, and MCF will reimburse the City through funds donated.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Montclair Community Foundation Board of Directors approve the purchase of whole turkeys and assorted items for the Holiday Food and Toy Basket Program.

SECTION: CONSENT - AGREEMENTS
ITEM NO.: 1
FILE I.D.: PDT175
DEPT.: POLICE
PREPARER: B. KUMANSKI
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 26–63 WITH PRECISION SURVEY SUPPLY FOR THE FOUR–YEAR LEASE OF A LEICA LASER SCANNER AND ASSOCIATED
SOFTWARE, TRAINING, AND MAINTENANCE
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider approval of Agreement No. 26–63 with Precision Survey Supply for the four–year lease of a Leica laser scanner and associated software, training, and maintenance.
A copy of proposed Agreement No. 26–63 is attached for the City Council’s review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: The Police Department’s Major Accident Investigation Team (MAIT) responds to significant incident collisions, including fatalities and other crime scenes.
A component of these responses is to thoroughly document the scene by means of a laser scanner to record the scene in three dimensions with accurate representation of distances and elevation of various scene elements, including all roadways, buildings, foliage, vehicles, and other evidence. The Department’s current Leica laser scanner and associated scene software, which was purchased in 2018, has reached the end of its support life and is no longer serviceable. As the Department already uses a Leica product, all of the Department’s existing recorded scenes are in this format. Replacing it with a compatible system ensures continuity in operation, training, and evidence documentation along with maintenance procedures.
Replacement options have increased in price since the last purchase in 2018. As a result, Precision Survey Supply, the only vendor available to purchase Leica scanners in the western United States, offers both purchase and lease options. The lease option is facilitated by Precision Survey Supply as the approved vendor for Leica products, and is financed through Great America. The proposed Finance Agreement was reviewed by staff and found to be a preferable option as not only are the yearly payments more manageable, but all of the ancillary add–ons, such as software licensing updates, repairs, and annual service and training, are included with the lease option. Many of these existing annual costs would be rolled into the proposed Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of proposed Agreement No. 26–63 with Precision Survey Supply for the four–year lease of a Leica laser scanner and associated software, training, and maintenance would be $91,958.96, which includes $90,627.60 plus the lease fee of
0.929 percent, or $1,331.36. The cost for Fiscal Year 2026–27 would be $22,989.74.
This would be a recurring cost through Fiscal Year 2029–30. Included in the Police Department’s Fiscal Year 2026–27 Budget in Investigations Special Contract Services is $25,000 from the General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council approve Agreement No. 26–63 with Precision Survey Supply for the four–year lease of Leica laser scanner and associated software, training, and maintenance.

SECTION: CONSENT - AGREEMENTS
ITEM NO.: 2
FILE I.D.: FWY250
DEPT.: PUBLIC WORKS
PREPARER: R. HOERNING
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 26–65, AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO AGREEMENT NO. 15–80 WITH SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY FOR A TIME EXTENSION FOR THE MONTE VISTA AVENUE/I–10 INTERCHANGE
PROJECT, SUBJECT TO ANY REVISIONS DEEMED NECESSARY BY THE CITY ATTORNEY REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider approval of Agreement No. 26–65, Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 15–80 with San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) to provide a contract time extension for the widening project on Interstate 10 from Montclair to Redlands.
A copy of Agreement No. 26–65, Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 15–80, is attached for City Council review and consideration. Also attached are Agreement Nos. 15–80 and 17–40 (Amendment No. 1).
BACKGROUND: On September 8, 2015, the City entered into Agreement No. 15–80 with SBCTA for environmental and design work associated with widening Interstate 10 from Montclair to Redlands. The City's interests primarily relate to improvements necessary at the Interstate 10/Monte Vista and Central Avenue Interchanges.
On June 5, 2017, the City approved Agreement No. 17–40, Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 15–80. Caltrans and SBCTA completed the construction of the capacity enhancement/widening Interstate 10 Freeway between the Los Angeles County line and Redlands. The improvements included adding Express Lanes (High Occupancy Vehicle lanes) in each direction from Interstate 15 to Redlands. The project required the widening of the Monte Vista Avenue at the interchange. The project also included landscaping, which was deferred to a Phase 2 project now under construction.
Agreement No. 26–65, Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 15–80, provided a contract time extension to December 31, 2031, to provide additional time to construct the landscape and hardscape improvements and fully complete the project.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to the City related to approving Agreement No. 26–65, Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 15–80
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council approve Agreement No. 26–65, Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 15–80 with San Bernardino County Transportation Authority for a time extension for the Monte Vista Avenue/I–10 Interchange Project, subject to any changes deemed necessary by the City Attorney.

DATE: OCTOBER 5, 2026
SECTION: CONSENT - AGREEMENTS
ITEM NO.: 3
FILE I.D.: FLC600/STD200
DEPT.: PUBLIC WORKS
PREPARER: R HOERNING
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 26–66 WITH SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT AND CO–PERMITTEE CITIES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM STORMWATER
PERMIT, SANTA ANA REGION, SUBJECT TO ANY REVISIONS DEEMED NECESSARY BY
THE CITY ATTORNEY
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider approval of Agreement No. 26–66 with San Bernardino County Flood Control District and co– permittee cities for implementation of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Permit, Santa Ana Region, subject to any revisions deemed necessary by the City Attorney.
A copy of proposed Agreement No. 26–66 is attached for City Council review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: The current Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (“MS4”) Permit is issued jointly to the County of San Bernardino, the San Bernardino County Flood Control District (collectively referred to as “County”), and the sixteen incorporated cities (“co– permittees”) in the Santa Ana River Watershed portion of San Bernardino County. The San Bernardino County Flood Control District is the Principal Permittee. Its primary responsibilities are to administer the overall stormwater program in conjunction with the cities, lead in the development of programs, act as the liaison with water board staff and prepare the consolidated required reports. As part of the requirements of the Permit, all co–permittees are required to enter into an “Implementation Agreement” which specifies the responsibilities of the co–permittees and establishes a cost–sharing formula for the program costs to be borne by each co–permittee.
On April 20,1992 the City Council approved Agreement No. 92–38, the original NPDES Stormwater Implementation Agreement. Subsequently on November 20, 1995, the first amendment, Agreement No. 95–69, was approved, and on September 7, 2010, the second amendment, Agreement No. 10–103, was approved. Proposed Agreement No. 26–66 is considered a new agreement superseding the prior agreement and all amendments thereto.
In 2010, it was determined that the cost–share formula contained ambiguities that prevented the County from annually calculating land use conditions as required under the agreement. As a result, a new Implementation Agreement was developed to establish a revised cost share formula for allocating area–wide NPDES permit program costs among the co–permittees. The updated formula provided a more equitable method for determining each co–permittee’s cost–share percentage by balancing the impacts of population, land area, and equal participation, resulting in a more fair distribution of costs among both large and small jurisdictions.
The proposed new subject Implementation Agreement does not modify the existing cost share formula established in 2010. The current methodology for calculating each co– permittee's share of program costs will remain unchanged.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 10/05/2026 Page 100 of 234 The most significant revision in the proposed agreement is the elimination of the County overhead rate applied to County staff time spent on area–wide program activities. At one point, this overhead rate reached 117 percent of direct labor costs. Removing the overhead charge will result in substantial savings to the Area–Wide Program budget. For example, in FY 2024/25, the total program budget was $3,944,093, of which approximately $527,000 was attributable to overhead costs.
Additional revisions to the agreement include:
• Modifying meeting requirements to align with the MS4 Permit requirements, or at a minimum, require quarterly meetings.
• Revising the agreement term so that it remains in effect until a new agreement is executed or a party provides a one–year notice of withdrawal. • Establishing a deadline for co–permittees to pay their annual cost share contributions to ensure timely funding of Area–Wide Program activities. • Removing obsolete provisions related to grants received under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
These revisions are intended to streamline the agreement, improve administrative efficiency, reduce program costs, and ensure consistency with current regulatory requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost share for the member agencies of the Area–Wide San Bernardino County Stormwater Program is calculated using a formula based on an equal share allocation, population, and land area. The resulting cost share percentage is then applied to four program budget categories: Monitoring, Public Education, Program Management, and Training.
The City of Montclair’s percentage share (FY 2026–27) is 1.98 percent of the NPDES Program Budget. For FY 2026/27, the City's cost share percentage is projected to slightly decrease from 2025/26, resulting in an estimated contribution of $52,458.
However, based on the recently released draft Santa Ana Regional Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit, implementation costs for the Area–Wide Program are anticipated to increase significantly, which may substantially impact future program costs for all member agencies.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council approve Agreement No. 26–66 with San Bernardino County Flood Control District and co–permittee cities for implementation of the National Pollutant Elimination Discharge System Stormwater Permit, Santa Ana Region, subject to any revisions deemed necessary by the City Attorney.

13 476 APPENDIX A
477
478 A. The DISTRICT shall pay five percent (5%) of the total annual cost, and the COUNTY 479 and the remaining Co-permittees, collectively, shall pay the remaining ninety-five percent 480 (95%) of the total annual cost pursuant to the formula set forth in Paragraph C, below. 481
482 B. The Permittees total annual cost share is the sum of the individual cost-shares calculated 483 for each Program Cost Area.
484
485 C. The Permittees annual cost share for each Program Cost Area (PCAi) shall be calculated 486 using three cost factors:
487
488 1. Base, which represents the percentage of the program costs equally applied to all 489 Permittees. The base (B) fraction is calculated as follows:
490
491 B = 1/N, where N = number of Permittees
492
493 2. Relative Population, which represents the percentage of the program costs based 494 on the relative population of each Permittee. Relative population (RP) of each 495 Permittee shall be calculated annually from annual population estimates issued by 496 the California Department of Finance (E-1 Table).
497
498 RPi = (Pi/Ptotal), where
499
500 RPi = relative population of Permittee (i)
501 Pi = population of Permittee (i)
502 Ptotal = total population for area covered by the area-wide permit 503
504 3. Relative Land Area, which represents the percentage of the program costs based 505 on the relative land area of each Permittee. Relative Land Area (RLA) shall be 506 calculated as follows:
507
508 a. The calculation of relative land area within each Permittee’s jurisdiction 509 shall exclude land under tribal, state or federal jurisdiction, or any land 510 excluded by the State Water Resources Control Board. Any Permittee 511 seeking to exclude lands under this Section shall specifically request that 512 exclusion from the Principal Permittee by providing the request in writing 513 along with necessary documentation no later than October 1 to be 514 considered for inclusion in the next year’s annual budget. The requesting 515 Permittee has the burden of proving entitlement to any exemption so 516 requested.
517
518 b. The method for calculating relative land area shall be determined from the 519 Assessor’s Parcel data provided by the COUNTY Information Services 520 Department.
521
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 10/05/2026 Page 114 of 234 AGREEMENT NO. 26-66
14 522 RLAi = (Li/Ltotal), where
523 RLAi =relative land area of Co-permittee (i)
524 Li = land area of Co-permittee (i), less excluded lands 525 Ltotal = total land area under permit jurisdiction
526
527 D. The Permittee’s cost share for each individual Program Cost Area is based on the relative 528 importance of the cost factors to the Program Cost Area. The cost share calculation for 529 each Program Cost Area is as follows:
530
531 PCAi = [(B * Xi * ABi) + (RPi * Yi * ABi) + (RLAi * Zi * ABi)] 532
533 Where,
534
535 PCAi = Permittee’s cost share for PCAi
536 ABi = Annual budget for PCAi
537
538 B = Base fraction for each Permittee
539 Xi = Percentage apportioned to the base for PCAi
540
541 RPi = Relative population of Permittee(i)
542 Yi = Percentage apportioned to relative population for PCAi 543
544 RLAi = Relative land area of the Permittee(i)
545 Zi = Percentage apportioned to relative land are for PCAi 546
547 E. The Permittee’s total annual cost share shall be calculated by summing the cost shares 548 calculated for each individual Program Cost Area:
549
550 Permittee’s annual cost share = PCA1 + PCA2 + PCA3 + PCA4 551

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: OCTOBER 5, 2026
SECTION: CONSENT - AGREEMENTS
ITEM NO.: 4
FILE I.D.: PDT175/PDT260
DEPT.: POLICE
PREPARER: M. ZERR
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NO. 26–67 WITH HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION OF
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FOR REDDINET ACCESS TO PROVIDE COMPUTERIZED
COMMUNICATION THROUGH THE HASC NETWORK
CONSIDER AUTHORIZING POLICE CHIEF JASON REED TO SIGN SAID AGREEMENT REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider approval of Agreement No. 26–67 with Hospital Association of Southern California (HASC) for ReddiNet access to provide computerized communication through its network. The City Council is also requested to consider authorizing Chief Reed to sign said agreement.
Proposed Agreement No. 26–67 has been reviewed by the City Attorney and is attached for the City Council’s review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: ReddiNet is a computerized communication software which enables immediate messaging to all hospitals on the HASC network. The system is utilized by dispatch to make notifications during active criminal or missing person investigations to medical facilities regarding potentially injured suspects or victims. The system allows for mass messaging to be sent out to the facilities rather than a dispatcher calling the medical facilities individually, which improves efficiency by allowing the dispatcher to perform other essential duties. For many years, the Police Department has obtained these services through the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) as part of CAL FIRE’S contract with HASC. CAL FIRE is no longer offering to include the Montclair Police Department in its contract with HASC; thus, the Department must contract directly with HASC for ReddiNet access.
FISCAL IMPACT: HASC’s rate for 2026 is $869 for ReddiNet access. If authorized by the City Council, funding for Agreement No. 26–67 would result in an expenditure of $869 from Communications Special Contract Services Account No. 1001–4427–52450– 400–00000 for Fiscal Year 2026–27. Additional years of service would then be included in the Police Department’s future annual budgets.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
1. Approve Agreement No. 26–67 with Hospital Association of Southern California for access to ReddiNet services to provide computerized communication through the HASC network; and
2. Authorize Police Chief Jason Reed to sign said agreement.

ReddiNet Software License and Support Agreement
3.6 Exclusive Remedy. In the event that data to be transmitted through the use of the Software or by or through the System is interrupted, inaccurately transmitted, or not transmitted directly as a result of HASC’s failure to perform its obligations under the Agreement (collectively, “Transmittal Error(s)”), Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be that HASC will: (1) use commercially reasonable efforts to retransmit the data; or (2) if HASC is unable to retransmit the data, in HASC’s judgment, HASC will give Customer a pro rata refund of the fees paid by Customer to HASC under this Agreement for the remainder of the term and the Agreement will terminate; or (3) if the Transmittal Error(s) results in substantial damage to Customer and HASC does not terminate the Agreement, then HASC’s only obligation and sole liability to Customer shall be limited to granting Customer credits equal to Customer’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, as reasonably mitigated by Customer, which Customer can demonstrate are directly attributable to the Transmittal Error(s) by HASC or HASC’s vendors, but in no event shall such credits during any one calendar year in the aggregate exceed the lesser of: (i) three times the average monthly revenue received by HASC from Customer for the Deliverables which contained the Transmittal Error(s) over the preceding 12 months (or such lesser time if this Agreement has been in effect for less than 12 months); or (ii) Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000).

APPENDIX B-1 - HIPAA Requirements
To the extent that Customer is a covered entity or business associate under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended, and its implementing regulations (collectively, “HIPAA”), HASC provides services to the Customer that may involve Protected Health Information (PHI), as the term is defined at 45 CFR § 160.103, and therefore HASC may qualify as the Customer’s business associate under HIPAA.
For the purpose of both parties complying with HIPAA, HASC and Customer agree that:
1. Permitted Uses and Disclosures of Protected Health Information (PHI).
HASC may use and disclose PHI for the purposes contemplated by the Agreement, as the same is amended or supplemented from time to time, and to the extent that such use or disclosure would not violate HIPAA if done by Customer. HASC also may use and disclose PHI for the proper management and administration of its business and to carry out its own legal responsibilities, as long as, in the case of any such disclosure, either:
(a) The disclosure is required by law; or
(b) HASC obtains reasonable assurances from the person to whom the information is disclosed that it will be held confidentially and used or further disclosed only as required by law or for the purposes for which it was disclosed to such person, and that the person will notify HASC of any instances of which it is aware in which the confidentiality of the information has been breached.
2. HASC’s Obligations. HASC shall:
2.1. Not use or further disclose Protected Health Information except as permitted or required by this appendix, or required by law.
2.2. Use appropriate safeguards to prevent use or disclosure of PHI otherwise than as permitted by this Appendix, including administrative, physical and technical safeguards for e-PHI that reasonably and appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of Customer’s electronic Protected Health Information.
2.3. Comply with the applicable requirements of the Security Standards for Protection of Electronic Protected Health Information at 45 CFR Part 164 Subpart C.
2.4. Report to Customer as soon as possible any use or disclosure of PHI not provided for by this Appendix of which HASC becomes aware.
2.5. Report to Customer as soon as possible any security incident involving PHI, except that this section shall hereby serve as notice, and no further reporting shall be required, of the regular occurrence of unsuccessful attempted security incidents.
2.6. Report to Customer a breach of unsecured PHI as required by 45 CFR § 164.410.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 10/05/2026 Page 133 of 234 B-10
ReddiNet Software License and Support Agreement
2.7. Ensure that its agents, including any subcontractor, to whom it provides PHI agree to the restrictions and conditions that apply to HASC with respect to such information and implement the safeguards required above with respect to electronic Protected Health Information.
2.8. Upon Customer’s request, make available PHI in accordance with 45 CFR § 164.524 to the extent that HASC maintains PHI in a designated record set.
2.9. Upon Customer’s request, make available PHI for amendment and incorporate any amendments to PHI in accordance with 45 CFR § 164.526 to the extent that HASC maintains PHI in a designated record set.
2.10. Upon Customer’s request, make available the information necessary for the Customer to provide an accounting of disclosures in accordance with 45 CFR § 164.528.
2.11. Make its internal practices, books, and records relating to the use and disclosure of Protected Health Information available to the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, for purposes of determining the Customer’s and HASC’s compliance with their legal obligations.
2.12. Upon termination of the Agreement, return or destroy all PHI to the extent feasible, and, to the extent infeasible, extend the protections of this appendix to such information that cannot be returned or destroyed, and limit further use and disclosure of such information to those purposes that make the return or destruction of the information infeasible.
3. Customer’s Obligations.
3.1. Customer warrants that its notice of privacy practices under 45 CFR § 164.520 authorizes HASC’s uses and disclosures of PHI as contemplated by the Agreement.
Customer shall notify HASC of any limitation(s) in the notice of privacy practices of Customer under 45 CFR § 164.520, to the extent that such limitation may affect HASC’s use or disclosure of PHI.
3.2. Customer shall notify HASC of any changes in, or revocation of, the permission by an individual to use or disclose his or her PHI, to the extent that such changes may affect HASC’s use or disclosure of PHI.
3.3. Customer shall notify HASC of any restriction on the use or disclosure of PHI that Customer has agreed to or is required to abide by under 45 CFR § 164.522, to the extent that such restriction may affect HASC’s use or disclosure of PHI.
3.4. Customer shall not request or cause HASC to use or disclose PHI in any manner that would not be permissible under the Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information, 45 CFR Part 164 Subpart E.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
DATE: OCTOBER 5, 2026
SECTION: CONSENT - AGREEMENTS
ITEM NO.: 5
FILE I.D.: PDT175/PDT362
DEPT.: POLICE
PREPARER: M. BUTLER
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT NOS. 26–68 AND 26–69 WITH THE COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO RELATED TO DISTRIBUTION OF 2025 JUSTICE ASSISTANCE
GRANT PROGRAM AWARD FUNDS
CONSIDER AUTHORIZING CITY MANAGER EDWARD C. STARR TO SIGN SAID
AGREEMENTS
REASON FOR CONSIDERATION: The City Council is requested to consider approval of Agreement Nos. 26–68 and 26–69 with the County of San Bernardino related to distribution of 2025 Justice Assistance Grant Program award funds and authorizing City Manager Edward C. Starr to sign said Agreements.
Copies of proposed Agreement Nos. 26–68 and 26–69 are attached for City Council review and consideration.
BACKGROUND: The Board of Supervisors of San Bernardino County (County) accepted a grant award from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) under the FY 2025 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program. The County submitted a joint application for local jurisdictions, including the City of Montclair. As a subrecipient, the City has been allocated $18,026 from JAG 2025. The County, acting in its capacity as JAG Program Administrator, shall disburse appropriate grant allocations, less a five percent administrative fee, as allowable under JAG guidelines.
OJP provides federal leadership, funding, and other critical resources to directly support law enforcement, combat violent crime, protect children, provide services to crime victims, and address public safety challenges. Through OJP, the JAG Program provides funding to local governments to hire additional personnel and/or purchase equipment, supplies, contractual support, training, technical assistance, and information systems for criminal justice. These funds shall supplement existing services and shall not be used to supplant any existing funding for law enforcement services.
The JAG Program requires participating jurisdictions receiving grant funds to execute sub–award grant agreements in order to acknowledge receipt of the federal award information and applicable compliance requirements, including special conditions for each federal sub–award. By entering into proposed sub–award grant Agreement No. 26– 68, the City agrees to undertake and carry out activities delineated by the grant award and to the conditions or limitations set forth in the grant award.
Pursuant to JAG Program requirements, the State’s allocation for municipal agencies in the region shall be distributed and administered directly through the County.
Each participating jurisdiction must enter into an Interlocal Agreement (Agreement No. 26–69), identifying the County as the fiscal agent and JAG Program Administrator for these joint funds. Agreement No. 26–69 allows the County to release pass–through funds to the participating towns and cities in accordance with the grant agreement.
MONTCLAIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING – 10/05/2026 Page 136 of 234 In March 2026, Police Department staff submitted a project proposal to the County for JAG 2025 to use grant funds to purchase gas masks and filters for sworn personnel.
This project has been approved by the County and is included in the grant award. The County has requested to have these two proposed Agreements signed by October 9, 2026. Due to the short time constraint, staff will submit a separate agenda report to City Council at a future date requesting authorization to purchase gas masks with JAG 2025 grant funds, as staff needs additional time to research vendors and gas masks, ensuring they meet current industry standards and Department needs.
FISCAL IMPACT: The City of Montclair’s 2025 JAG allocation is $18,975; of that, the San Bernardino County of Board Supervisors would retain a five percent administrative fee of $949. Approval of proposed Agreement Nos. 26–68 and 26–69 would result in an $18,026 JAG Program fund allocation to the Police Department’s budget. The City would be reimbursed for eligible expenditures incurred in accordance with the sub–award agreement.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
1. Approve Agreement Nos. 26–68 and 26–69 with the County of San Bernardino related to distribution of 2025 Justice Assistance Grant Program award funds; and,
2. Authorize City Manager Edward C. Starr to sign said Agreements.
