REF: Professional Services Agreement 23PO47- Indian Canyon Drive Widening & UPRR Bridge ReplacementFederal-Aid Project No. BRLO-5282(07); City Project NO. 01-11 Dear Mr. Montalvo:

Harris & Associates (Harris) is providing Construction Management and Environmental Support Services for the Indian Canyon Drive Widening & UPRR Bridge Replacement Project (City Project No. 01-11). Because this is a federally funded Local Assistance project, these services must be maintained through the extended duration of construction to preserve FHWA reimbursement eligibility and compliance with Caltrans Local Assistance oversight requirements. Due to project delays and the resulting extension of services beyond the originally anticipated scope and schedule, we respectfully request an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) for the referenced project. Specifically, we are requesting an increase to both the Maximum Contract Amount and the Fixed Fee outlined in Exhibit “C” – Schedule of Compensation – to reflect the additional effort, resources, and duration required to fulfill the construction management and environmental support obligations under the revised timeline. This amendment is necessary not to expand the scope of services, but to ensure the City maintains continuous federal-aid eligibility through construction and closeout; without continuation of services, previously reimbursed costs could be subject to review at closeout. Harris has also made some organizational changes and is requesting the City approve a new Project Director to oversee the completion of this project. This request is submitted in accordance with Section 1.8, “Additional Services,” and Section 2.3, “Changes in Scope,” of the PSA.

The requested amendment reflects the extended duration of services necessary to administer the project through completion under the applicable federal-aid requirements. As the administering agency, the City must maintain continuous construction oversight, environmental compliance documentation, and third-party coordination in accordance with Caltrans Local Assistance procedures in order to preserve federal reimbursement eligibility. These obligations continue regardless of fluctuations in the Contractor’s production rate or work sequencing, and cannot be reduced or deferred without affecting the City’s ability to demonstrate compliance during Caltrans’ final oversight review. These extended CM services are not discretionary, but are required to maintain federal participation through the full duration of construction and through LPA closeout.

As of the date of this letter, Harris has billed the City $4,009,718.15 of the approved $4,598,117.50 (including prior amendments), resulting in 87.2% of the contract budget being expended. The total billed-to-date consists of $3,583484.21 in prime billings and $426,233.94 in subconsultant billings, leaving a remaining balance of $588,399.35 ($392,590.79 prime / $200,608.54 subs). Based on the Contractor’s current schedule and Harris’ historical average monthly expenditure of approximately $148,500, the current PSA budget will be exhausted in approximately four months, or by January 2026, which is well before construction completion. Because construction administration and compliance obligations extend beyond this point, an amendment is required to ensure uninterrupted oversight and preserve eligibility for federal reimbursement through final acceptance and LPA closeout.

Drive Widening & UPRR Bridge Replacement
2 Project Delay and Extended Services Justification
The project has experienced a series of delay events that have extended the construction duration well beyond the originally anticipated timeline and have required continued Construction Management and Environmental Support services. Amendment 1 funded CM coverage only through December 2025, based on the then-current forecast that construction would conclude in mid-2026. Since that time, continued weather suspensions, extended third-party utility coordination, and railroad access constraints have shifted controlling work activities for Stage 2 into 2026 and 2027. These conditions have extended the overall project duration past the coverage horizon contemplated under Amendment 1, resulting in the current March 2027 completion forecast.

Accordingly, this amendment addresses CM services for the additional duration beyond December 2025, including both the active construction period and the required federal oversight window that extends through closeout.

1. Tropical Storm Hilary (26 Working Days – CCO-6)
Severe weather conditions associated with Tropical Storm Hilary resulted in flooding, site inaccessibility, and suspension of construction activities south of Palm Springs Station Road. Although this delay was addressed in CCO-6 as a non-compensable time extension for the Contractor, it nevertheless extended the overall duration of the project and prolonged the required presence of construction management and environmental staff.

2. Railroad Preconstruction / Kinder Morgan Notification Delays (32 Working Days – CCO-8) Additional railroad coordination requirements, timing of preconstruction meetings, and Kinder Morgan notification and concurrence processes delayed authorization to enter and work in key portions of the project corridor. This resulted in thirty-two (32) working days of delay recognized in CCO-8. While treated as a non-compensable time extension for the Contractor, it extended the timeline during which CM staffing and third-party interface responsibilities were required.

3. Shoring Claim Settlement – Temporary Access Delay (19 Working Days – CCO-12) A claim related to temporary shoring configuration and access limitations resulted in a negotiated settlement that included a nineteen (19) working day non-compensable time extension for the Contractor. While the claim has been contractually resolved through CCO-12, the extension still required CM oversight, documentation, and coordination throughout the restricted work period.

4. Weather-Related Suspensions – High Wind and Blowsand Conditions (75 Non-Working Days to Date)
Per the project’s Weekly Statement of Working Days, seventy-five (75) non-working days have been recorded to date due to high wind and blowsand conditions. These suspensions recur annually during the February–June seasonal wind cycle typical of the Coachella Valley. Because the first construction year only experienced partial exposure (beginning mid-2023) and full exposure in 2024 confirmed the recurring pattern, additional seasonal suspensions are reasonably foreseeable as the project passes through two more wind seasons before the planned March 2027 completion. Although these suspensions are excusable but non-compensable to the Contractor, CM and environmental staffing must remain active during each suspension period to maintain Local Assistance procedural compliance, preserve FHWA eligibility, and ensure continuity of the federal-aid project record.

5. Kinder Morgan Pipeline Conflict and Utility-Imposed Work Stoppage (July 2024 – March 2025; entitlement pending)
Work at Abutment No. 1 was suspended when Kinder Morgan restricted construction within its easement due to the proximity of their active high-pressure transmission line located approximately six (6) feet from the face of the new footing. Pile driving could not be performed under the original design, Item 1Q - Page 16
B I Harris & Associates
October 24, 2025
Professional Services Agreement 23PO47- Indian Canyon
Drive Widening & UPRR Bridge Replacement
3 necessitating a full redesign and subsequent approval by both Kinder Morgan and UPRR. This stoppage prevented advancement of a controlling structural operation and extended the period in which CM involvement was required for utility coordination, schedule mitigation, and Stage 2 readiness activities.

6. Environmental Suspension – CDFW Species Protection Measures (59 Working Days; Compensable) In August 2024, CDFW requested temporary suspension of work in a defined portion of the project following identification of a federally protected species within the active work zone. Construction was resequenced and ground disturbance restricted while permits and biological documentation were updated to conform with current agency guidance. CM and environmental staffing were required throughout the suspension to maintain coordination and compliance. Because these services remained necessary, this suspension is treated as compensable from a professional services standpoint.

Consultant Impact Summary
The cumulative effect of these events has materially extended the duration of construction, which proportionally extends the duration of CM and environmental services. Unlike the construction contract, which is production-based, professional services are duration-based; therefore, each extension of time necessarily extends staffing, coordination, regulatory support, and documentation obligations required to maintain project continuity.

Forward-Looking Risk Exposure
The project remains subject to future schedule risk due to both seasonal wind events and third-party access restrictions. Two additional February–June wind seasons are forecast to occur before the March 2027 completion date, during which further weather-related suspensions remain likely. In addition, Stage 2 work remains dependent on railroad-issued Absolute Work Windows for both (1) demolition of the existing bridge and (2) later falsework removal following Stage 2 construction. Although the redesign has been fully approved, access to the work remains controlled by UPRR curfew availability. The CM team continues to facilitate coordination with UPRR regarding curfew availability; however, evaluation or development of alternate demolition methods remains the responsibility of the Contractor under the means-and-methods provisions of the construction contract. These unresolved access constraints require ongoing CM involvement to coordinate with the railroad, maintain schedule visibility, and manage staging readiness should windows become available on short notice.

Federal Funding and Eligibility Preservation
Because this is a federally funded Local Assistance project, continued CM staffing is required to preserve reimbursement eligibility and ensure compliance with federal documentation standards through construction completion and closeout. Federal-aid participation is not secured until Caltrans Local Assistance completes its oversight review, and federal closeout responsibilities cannot be delegated to the Contractor. An interruption or reduction in CM services during the remaining construction or closeout period would create a risk to documentation sufficiency and eligibility. Accordingly, the requested amendment is necessary not only to cover the extended duration of staffing, but also to maintain federal participation through project acceptance, submittal of the final reimbursement package, and LPA closeout under Caltrans oversight.

Construction Management and Environmental Support
To support this extended schedule, we forecast an additional 8,809 hours of Construction Management and Environmental Support Services will be required. These hours are necessary to manage unanticipated delays, weather impacts, extended contractor durations, and expanded coordination requirements associated with railroad access and environmental compliance. The following forecast reflects the staffing necessary to maintain continuous federal-aid oversight and documentation through the extended construction duration and into LPA closeout, consistent with FHWA and Caltrans Local Assistance requirements:

4 • Project Director (4h/mo)-------------------------------------------72 Hours • Resident Engineer (full time) ------------------------------------- 2701 Hours • Asst RE / Construction Inspector (full time) ------------------ 2250 Hours • Structures Rep/Claims Support (part time)-------------------- 1080 Hours • Document Control/CP review (part time) --------------------- 1073 Hours • Environmental monitor (full to part time) --------------------- 1368 Hours • Environmental support (part time) ------------------------------ 265 Hours Additionally KKCS, ZTC, and MTGL will require additional budget to maintain railroad coordination services, source inspections* and on-site material testing respectively. The subconsultants provided estimates to complete for the remaining work. KKCS based their requests on average burn rates, while MTGL and ZTC forecasted their costs for actual work to compete based on tests remaining (i.e cubic yards of concrete and soils for field testing and remaining source inspections).
*Some travel costs may be reimbursable by the Contractor to the city for source inspections per the Standard Specifications.

Adjustment to the Fixed Fee stipulated in the Contract
Harris is also requesting a proportional increase in the Fixed Fee component of our compensation. The original Fixed Fee of $309,879.10 was negotiated based on the originally anticipated contract duration and level of effort. The previously executed amendment number 1 (A1) for added scope included a fixed fee adjustment of $38,054.55 in the price, however, the PSA requires that an adjustment to the fixed fee be granted explicitly, so this request addresses the fee in A1 and now A2. The total fixed fee adjustment requested is $212,222.41, for a total of $520,474.23. Given the significant increase in hours (approximately 8,809 additional hours) and duration (18-month extension), and significant change in scope, a proportional increase in Fixed Fee is appropriate to reflect the increased management, risk, and administrative oversight required to support the project through its extended timeline. This increase is consistent with standard professional services practices and recognizes the added responsibility borne by Harris & Associates under the extended scope of work.

Respectfully, we request the City to recognize these additional hours could not be anticipated at the time of our final negotiated scope of work and the City initiate a Change in Scope pursuant to Section 2.3 “Changes in Scope” of the referenced PSA to provide for additional services as referenced herein not included in the PSA.

Accordingly, we request an increase of $2,179,678.18 to cover these additional services through the anticipated extended construction schedule (June 2027), and request an extension of time through July 2027 for the term of the Contract, currently March 2027, pursuant to the planned completion date. The attached Form 10H provides a breakdown of the proposed budget utilized to develop the requested budget increase.

Change of Project Director
In accordance with Section 4.1 “Representative of Consultant” Harris is requesting the City allow a change in the Project Director position from Ehab Gerges to Enrique “Hank” Alonso. Ehab Gerges’ role within Harris has been expanded, and Hank is the current Vice President of Transportation within Harris’ PMCM division, reporting Directly to Ehab. Hank brings a wealth of experience to the team with many years of contract and project management experience. His knowledge, experience, and reputation will provide the City with a tangible benefit as he personally oversees the completion of the project and closure of this contract.

We appreciate the opportunity to continue our partnership with the City on this regionally significant, federally funded infrastructure project and look forward to supporting its successful completion. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly with any questions or to discuss this request further.

6 Response to City Comments
Comment Consultant Response Action / Notes
Reduce closeout
duration to one
month.

Closeout under Local Assistance is a federally
audited phase, not an administrative wrap-up. One
month is not sufficient to ensure eligibility
preservation if Caltrans Local Assistance issues
comments or requires supplemental
documentation during its review. The additional
two months reflect the federal oversight response
window necessary to finalize materials
certification, environmental documentation, DBE
reconciliation, and third-party compliance (LAPM
§17.4). This duration protects reimbursement
eligibility rather than expanding scope.

No change – three months
required to preserve federal
participation through final
oversight.

Staffing levels should
reflect average
utilization rather than
full-time CM presence.

CM staffing for federal-aid projects is durationbased rather than production-based. Continuous oversight by the administering agency is required
throughout construction (LAPM §3.8), and
compliance responsibilities cannot be reduced to
“average utilization” tied to contractor pacing.

Reducing staffing below continuous oversight
levels would diminish federal compliance coverage.

Harris agrees to 150 hours per
month as a planning baseline for
forecasting purposes; actual hours
may increase as needed to
maintain continuous federal-aid
oversight during railroad
coordination, environmental
compliance, or weather-related
suspensions in accordance with
Local Assistance requirements.
(RE/Inspector)
Reduce biological
monitoring hours due
to completion of
majority of habitatrelated work.

Environmental monitoring is tied to risk exposure,
not remaining work quantity. Once a protected
species has been documented onsite, continued
monitoring is required for compliance throughout
the exposure period (LAPM §§6.9–6.10). Reducing
coverage would create renewed compliance risk if
conditions recur.

Environmental monitoring must
remain full-time for the duration
of the habitat exposure window to
comply with Local Assistance
environmental oversight
requirements; actual deployment
may fluctuate but cannot be
reduced below continuous
coverage while federally protected
species risk remains.

Consider reducing or
eliminating ODCs on
the amendment and
covering them
through the fixed fee
instead.

Because this is a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF)
agreement, ODCs are treated as direct
reimbursable costs under federal cost principles
and cannot be absorbed into the fixed fee without
altering the contract type. The fixed fee
compensates risk and performance (FAR 16.306)
and is separate from actual allowable costs (FAR

31.201-2). Reclassifying ODCs into fee would create
a cost allocation inconsistency (CAS 401/402) and is
not compliant with Local Assistance treatment of
field deployment costs. For these reasons, project
ODCs must remain reimbursable direct costs.

No change – ODCs remain direct
costs under CPFF contract
structure.

7 Negotiation note
Harris is open to refinement of quantities where appropriate, but reductions cannot compromise Local Assistance or FHWA compliance. CM staffing, environmental monitoring, field deployment resources, and final documentation support are continuous requirements under LAPM §§3.8, 6.9–6.10, 16.4, and 17.4. Because federal eligibility is not secured until Caltrans Local Assistance completes its final oversight review, these services must remain in place through the full duration of construction and into closeout. Both field deployment costs and closeout coverage are compliance-based obligations tied to duration of federal oversight, not discretionary consultant effort.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: DECEMBER 10, 2025 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF PLAZA THEATRE, CITY PROJECT 18-04 FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Engineering
SUMMARY:

Construction of the Plaza Theatre, City Project No. 18-04 (the “Project”) has been completed. Formal City Council acceptance of the subject Project is required to document the completion of the public works improvements, and to allow the City’s filing of a Notice of Completion with the Riverside County Recorder in accordance with Section 9200 of the California Civil Code.

RECOMMENDATION:

1. Accept the Plaza Theatre, City Project No. 18-04, as completed in accordance with the plans and specifications; and

2. Authorize the City Engineer to execute and file a Notice of Completion with the Riverside County Recorder for Plaza Theatre, City Project No. 18-04.

BACKGROUND:

Located at 128 South Palm Canyon Drive, the Plaza Theatre opened in 1936. The Theatre was commissioned by heiress Julia Carnell and designed by lead architect Harry Williams. Its atmospheric design hearkens to grand movie palaces, while its Spanish Colonial Revival exterior was typical of many buildings of the era in Palm Springs. In 1991, the Theatre was designated City of Palm Springs Class 1 historic site #22. While the Palm Springs Follies operated for 23 years from the building, the Theatre has sat primarily empty since 2014. The City of Palm Springs owns the Theatre and worked with the Palm Springs Plaza Theatre Foundation, a 501(c)(3), to restore the Theatre.

On July 28, 2022, the City Council approved Professional Service Agreement No. A9173 with Architectural Resources Group (ARG) for the Plaza Theatre Design Services in an amount of $1,047,994. There were four contract amendments totaling $401,354 – two during design and two during construction. On June 15, 2023, ARG completed the preparation of plans and specifications for the Project.

Item 1R - Page 2

Accept City Project 18-04 Plaza Theatre
On December 14, 2023, City Council awarded a construction contract in the amount of $26,322,000 to Woodcliff Corporation (the “Contractor”), for the construction of the Project.

On March 27, 2025, City Council approved increases to the Project funding for additional Construction Contingency, Professional Services with ARG and a task order with Dudek for additional Construction Management & Inspection services for a total of $2,838,261.

The grand re-opening of the historic Plaza Theatre was celebrated recently with a ribboncutting on November 21st, a community open-house and block-party on November 22nd ,
a Gratitude Concert on November 25th, and a grand-opening gala starring Cynthia Erivo on December 1st.

STAFF ANALYSIS:

Construction of the Project began on January 29, 2024, and was substantially completed by November 6, 2025. As construction progressed, there were a number of unforeseen issues encountered, design changes, and additional scope of work added, such as the front courtyard improvements. During construction, there were a total of nine (9) Construction Change Orders approved totaling $4,591,123.35, two amendments with ARG totaling $360,074 and one Task Order with Dudek in the amount of $397,500.

Construction Change Order No.9 used the contingency for the aforementioned additional work items. Any remaining change order items were agreed to be deferred and addressed as a final balancing change order to close out the project. Construction Change Order No.10 addresses the remaining items that were above the contingency amount of $2,838,261 approved during the March 27, 2025, City Council meeting. Construction Change Order No.10 (CCO No.10) consisted of 40 items, ranging from a Project credit to the removal and replacement of the front courtyard, for a total of $1,366,462.13. A copy of CCO No.10 is included as Attachment B. After application of a $70,000 credit from Dudek, the final appropriation for CCO No. 10 is $536,832.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:

Pursuant to CEQA by the City’s Historic Site Preservation Board (“HSPB”) on March 7, 2023, via Case #3.1149 – HSPB #22A as required under the City’s Historic Preservation Ordinance, (Chapter 8.05 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code), HSPB evaluated and determined the Project to be Categorically Exempt from further analysis under CEQA as a Class 31 exemption because the project proposed a restoration, rehabilitation, maintenance, and preservation of the building in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior Standards for the Treatment of Historic Resources.

ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:

This action aligns with City Council’s Strategic Plan Broad Goals of Infrastructure and Facilities, and Economic Development.

FISCAL IMPACT:

At the beginning of the project, the initial contingency was 12.5%. After talking with Dudek, Woodcliff, and ARG, it was found that a 20% contingency is more common for historic rehabilitation projects. With this final balancing change order for construction, this brings the total contingency for the project to 23%. The following Table 1 below shows the breakdown from the total approved contingency, total change orders, and credits.

Table 1
Contingency Usage Summary
Total Contingency approved $6,108,327
Total Construction Contingency used ($5,957,585)
Total Amendments and Task Orders taken from Contingency ($757,574) Credit from Dudek for hours not used $70,000
Final Appropriation for CCO No.10 ($536,832)
There is sufficient funding in the Deferred Maintenance Internal Service Fund to cover the appropriation of $536,832 for this Project. The City is holding retention funds in the amount of $1,545,656.17 for the Contractor pending acceptance of improvements and filing the Notice of Completion with the County Recorder’s Office. This action will close out contracts with Woodcliff, The Solis Group and Dudek.

The work consisted of installing new frames, covers, and grade adjusting rings as needed. Additionally, two manholes were lined to restore their structural integrity. These repairs protect the City’s sewer collection infrastructure and provide an improved driving surface following the Caltrans paving of the route.

On July 21, 2025, the City Council awarded a construction contract in the amount of $312,982 to Tri-Star Contracting II, Inc. for the State Highway Manhole Repairs, City Project 24-04 (the “Project”). After award of the contract, submittals were reviewed and approved. A notice to proceed (NTP) to start construction was given on August 12, 2025, Item 1S - Page 2

December 10, 2025 -- Page 2
Acceptance of State Highway Manhole Repairs, City Project 24-04 with a project duration of 60 working days to complete construction with an end date of November 3, 2025.

STAFF ANALYSIS:

The Project was substantially completed as of October 9, 2025, pending final inspection.

On October 22, 2025, the Project was accepted as complete. The pictures shown in Figure 1 on the following page provide an example of before and after conditions.

Staff recommends that City Council accept the Project as required by Section 9200 of the California Civil Code and authorize the City Engineer to file and record a Notice of Completion to be submitted to the County. A copy of the Notice of Completion is included as Attachment A.

Figure 1 – Existing conditions and after repairs
During the construction process, there was one (1) contract change order approved in the amount of $795.56. The change order was needed due to damaged grade adjustment rings needing replacement, additional work of five manholes, and expanded inspections.

Item 1S - Page 3
City Council Staff Report
December 10, 2025 -- Page 3
Acceptance of State Highway Manhole Repairs, City Project 24-04 The Project scope also increased to 60 total manholes from the original 58. Additionally, the contractor provided credit for two bid items that were deemed unnecessary and were not performed.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:

In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines Section 15302 “Replacement or Reconstruction”, Class 2 projects consist of replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. Therefore, Staff has determined that the State Highway Manhole Repairs, City Project No. 24-04, is considered categorically exempt from CEQA.

ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:

Infrastructure and Facilities: This Project aligns with the broad goal of providing for quality, well-maintained infrastructure and facilities.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The original contract amount was $312,982, with a contingency of $62,600. Final project cost is $313,777.56 including all change orders. The City is holding retention in the amount of $15,688.88 for Tri-Star Contracting II, Inc., pending the acceptance of improvements and filing the Notice of Completion with the County Recorder's Office. The Project account will be closed out upon final payment to the Contractor.

DATE: DECEMBER 10, 2025 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE ALLOCATED POSITIONS AND COMPENSATION PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Department of Human Resources
SUMMARY:

The City Council will consider an amendment to the 2025/26 Fiscal Year Allocated Positions and Compensation Plan, which includes the reorganization of leadership positions within the Police Department and Department of the City Manager. These changes reflect a strategic alignment of executive-level staffing to support Citywide priorities, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure appropriate levels of management oversight. The proposed adjustments result in no increase to the overall full-time equivalent (FTE) staffing levels or payroll budget.

RECOMMENDATION:

1. Adopt a Resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE

ALLOCATED POSITIONS AND COMPENSATION PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026, ADOPTED BY RESOLUTION NO. 25325.”

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all documents necessary to effectuate this action.

BACKGROUND:

Under California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5, CalPERS requires that every employer maintain a publicly available salary schedule that has been “duly approved and adopted by the employer’s governing body in accordance with requirements of applicable public meeting laws,” identifying each position title and salary range.

Item 1T - Page 2
City Council Staff Report
December 10, 2025 -- Page 2
Approval Of Amendment No. 2 to Allocated Positions and Compensation Plan for Fiscal Year 2025-26 In addition to the publicly posted salary schedules, the City maintains the Allocated Positions and Compensation Plan (“Plan”), which includes all authorized positions by department and is adopted with the annual budget.

The City Manager has authority to temporarily add, overfill, underfill, or remove positions from the list of funded positions as long as the actions do not increase overall staffing levels or payroll cost, and do not create a new classification or alter a classification’s salary range. When staffing changes become permanent, involve a new classification, or new salary range, Council approval is required.

Staffing needs are consistently evaluated and realigned to meet operational requirements.

The proposed adjustments have been reviewed by departmental leadership, evaluated against market salary data by Human Resources, and all meet-and-confer requirements have been completed with the impacted bargaining units.

STAFF ANALYSIS:

Police
The Palm Springs Police Department continues to respond to evolving public safety expectations, including increased demand for neighborhood-based policing, real-time data coordination, and timely on-scene command decisions. Currently, the command structure does not include an executive-level, at-will position that directly supports the Chief of Police, creating challenges for 24/7 coverage, succession planning, and operational oversight.

Given the City’s unique position as a major tourism destination hosting internationally recognized events and large-scale gatherings, real-time executive decision-making is critical. At present, the Chief of Police responds personally to all major incidents and events.

To ensure continuity of leadership and operational accountability, staff recommend the creation of a Deputy Chief of Police position. This position will:
 Provide direct executive-level support to the Chief
 Oversee large-scale events and critical incidents
 Enforce strategic crime-control measures
 Enhance community engagement initiatives
 Improve real-time command capacity citywide
Additionally, the Real Time Intelligence Center (RTIC) supports incident response, investigations, and operational readiness through real-time data collection and analysis.

A dedicated RTIC Manager is recommended to oversee staffing, performance metrics, technology integration, and resource allocation.

Item 1T - Page 3
City Council Staff Report
December 10, 2025 -- Page 3
Approval Of Amendment No. 2 to Allocated Positions and Compensation Plan for Fiscal Year 2025-26 Staff recommend adding one (1) Deputy Chief of Police position at the range of EX4-84, adding one (1) Real Time Intelligence Center Manager at the range of MX55, removing one (1) Police Lieutenant at the range of PMX66, and removing one (1) Police Officer at the range of PS46. Approving these changes will result in an estimated savings of $84,200 to the current general fund budget.

Adding the two (2) recommended positions by removing a Police Officer and Police Lieutenant position will not negatively impact police operations. Rather, it will strategically re-prioritize existing resources to where they can most effectively support the Department’s needs, improve efficiency, and enhance leadership capacity. These adjustments reflect industry best practices for comparable agencies and allow the Department to better meet community expectations without increasing staffing levels or payroll costs. Current staff will not be negatively impacted by this change.

City Manager
Prior to the strategic realignment occurring in the Police Department, the City Manager’s Department underwent a similar review of executive leadership roles to ensure proper support of citywide initiatives, interdepartmental coordination, community engagement, and implementation of Council priorities.

As the City's operations and service delivery become increasingly complex, additional executive-level support is needed to maintain continuity, drive strategic initiatives, and provide consistent oversight across multiple departments.

Staff recommend the reclassification of one (1) Deputy City Manager at the range of EX4- 84 to Assistant City Manager at the range of EX4-88, reclassification of one (1) Special Assistant to the City Manager at the range of EX2-66 to a Deputy City Manager at the range of EX4-84, and the removal of one (1) Real Estate Coordinator at the range of MX51 from the Department of Housing and Community Development. Approval of these changes will result in savings of $88,900 to the current general fund budget, some of which will be allocated to the Finance Department for one-time auditing services in the current fiscal year while a vacant position is filled.

The removal of the Real Estate Coordinator position will not affect service delivery or City operations. This position has remained vacant since being funded, and its responsibilities have successfully been managed by the City Manager’s Office and the PSP Airport as needs have arisen. This adjustment streamlines redundant classifications, enhances organizational alignment, and strengthens the City Management team’s ability to oversee City-wide initiatives and priorities.

The recommended changes mirror both departments’ approach to supporting executive leadership while also clarifying executive roles, aligning titles with duties, expanding oversight, and supporting succession planning.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: DECEMBER 10, 2025 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: STAY OF RESIDENT GOLF RATES AT TAHQUITZ CREEK GOLF RESORT
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Department of Parks & Recreation
SUMMARY:

This action will authorize the City to maintain the existing resident golf rates at the Cityowned Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort and stay implementation of the resident golf rate increases approved by the City Council on September 25, 2025. The stay will be effective retroactive to December 1, 2025, allowing time for the Department of Parks & Recreation to reassess the resident golf rate structure and return with alternative rate adjustments at a future City Council meeting.

RECOMMENDATION:
1) Authorize the City to maintain the current resident golf rates at the City-owned Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort and to stay implementation of the resident golf rate increases retroactive to December 1, 2025.
2) Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute any necessary documents.

BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:

N/A.

BACKGROUND:

On September 25, 2025, the City Council approved adjustments to the citywide Comprehensive Fee Schedule, which included resident rates of the golf fee schedule at the Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort. The approved comprehensive fee schedule had an implementation date of December 1, 2025.

Following approval of the new resident golf rate schedule, the Department of Parks & Recreation and the Parks & Recreation Commission received numerous complaints and Item 1U - Page 2
City Council Staff Report
December 10, 2025 -- Page 2
Stay of Resident Golf Rates
concerns from resident golfers regarding the large increase in the approved fees.

Residents expressed that the increase could significantly affect their ability to continue playing at Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort and was not in line with the rates of other municipal golf courses in the Coachella Valley.

In response, the Department of Parks & Recreation met with local golfers and the operator at Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort and determined that it would be in the public’s best interest to develop alternative rate increases that would not be as large as the fees adopted on September 25, 2025.

To preserve the public interest during this reassessment period, a City Manager Administrative Regulation was prepared to stay the resident golf rate increases and direct the operator to continue charging the current rates at Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort until a new rate structure could be considered by the City Council.

STAFF ANALYSIS:

Municipal golf courses, such as Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort, are an important recreational amenity for local residents who rely on affordable access to golf as part of their quality of life. The proposed rate increases, adopted on September 25, 2025, would place a disproportionate burden on resident golfers and could reduce resident play at Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort. Staying the resident golf rate increases and continuing the prior resident rates on an interim basis will preserve access to Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort for resident golfers while the rate structure is reevaluated.

The table below shows the current fee structure as well as the proposed fees that were approved on September 25, 2025. This action brings forward formal City Council direction to maintain the existing resident golf rates, effective December 1, 2025, and provides direction to staff to develop a new rate structure for City Council consideration at a future meeting.

FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Department of Finance & Treasury
SUMMARY:

The City entered into a Development Agreement for the Serena Park development, located at the site of the former Palm Springs Country Club east of Sunrise Way and north of Verona Road. The Development Agreement provides for the City to cooperate with the property owner in the formation of a Community Facilities District (CFD) to finance any necessary public improvements for the Project as well as the fee required for purchase of open space. A CFD is a special financing district that will sell bonds to generate funds for the financing of the development fees and public facilities. Special taxes will be levied only on property within the CFD to repay the bonds.

These actions will conclude the process to form CFD 2025-1 that was initiated on October 22, 2025.

RECOMMENDATION:

1. Open the public hearing on the formation of Community Facilities District No. 2025- 1 (Serena Park), take public testimony, close the public hearing;

Conclude Formation Proceedings For Community Facilities District No. 2025-1 (Serena Park) BACKGROUND:

The City entered into a Development Agreement for the Serena Park development, located at the site of the former Palm Springs Country Club east of Sunrise Way and north of Verona Road. The Development Agreement provides for the property owner to pay $3.2 million to the City for the future purchase of open space. Serena Park contains 386 units, and the Planning Commission approved a tentative tract map subdividing the Serena Park project into seven large parcels and a remainder lot. The approval allows the property owner to sell portions of the project to individual “merchant builders” who will construct their respective sections of the development.

The property is currently being developed by Serena Park 386, LLC (Developer). The Developer is expecting to acquire 2 parcels adjacent to the property it currently owns.

The Developer anticipates developing the first 386 units as “Serena Park I” shown on the map below, and the future acquisition will be developed with 91 units as “Serena Park II”.

Conclude Formation Proceedings For Community Facilities District No. 2025-1 (Serena Park) STAFF ANALYSIS:

Background and Purpose of Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (“Mello-Roos Act”) allows cities and other local governments in California to create special tax districts known as Community Facilities Districts, or CFDs to finance public infrastructure and services. This financing tool is especially useful in where new development creates demand for roads, parks, sewer systems, and other public facilities.

Before forming any CFDs, local agencies must adopt policies outlining how they will use the Mello-Roos Act. The Palm Springs City Council adopted Policies and Procedures for Special Assessment and Mello-Roos Community Facilities Districts on January 22, 1992, for financing public improvements (Goals and Policies). These policies were amended in April 2002 to comply with updates of the Mello-Roos Act and to allow CFD use for residential development. In September 2005, the City adopted a separate Statement of Goals and Policies for the Use of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 for the purpose of establishing a CFD to provide for public safety services and for CFDs for which debt would not be issued.

The CFD proposed under this action CFD No. 2025-1 (Serena Park) aligns with the City’s current Goals and Policies.

Proposed CFD No. 2025-1 Formation – Serena Park Project The Serena Park project is comprised of two areas. Serena Park I proposes 386 marketrate detached homes on 63.2 acres. Serena Park II proposes 91 market-rate detached homes on 12.1 acres. The Developer currently owns 100% of the land within Serena Park I and is in the process of acquiring the property in Serena Park II, which will be included in CFD No. 2025-1.

The Development Agreement provides that the City would cooperate with the property owner in the formation of a CFD to finance any necessary public improvements for the Project. The property owner/Developer has requested the formation of a CFD by the City to finance the Development Agreement fee, certain City development impact fees (DIFs) and infrastructure, including street and transportation improvements, rights of way, curbs and gutter, street paving, sidewalks, striping and signage, and other improvements relating thereto, park improvements, storm drainage improvements, and sewer improvements.

The Development Agreement fee, infrastructure and the number of units are of sufficient size for the City to take the lead in the formation of the CFD for Serena Park. This will allow the City more control over the financed project and input into the tax rates. The amounts proposed to be financed are shown in Table 1.

The CFD is subdivided into 4 Improvement Areas. Each Improvement Area will have a separate (but similar) tax rate structure, based on the expected product type and size of the units to be built. Having separate Improvement Areas will also facilitate separate merchant builders to purchase and develop portions of the property without being tied to the development of the other areas by other builders.

The special tax rates to be levied against property in each Improvement Area are based on the size of the homes and delineated in each Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax (RMA) for each Improvement Area. The maximum special tax rates are established in Fiscal Year 2025-26, when the CFD is created, and escalate at 2% of the prior year amount for a period of 18 years. After this, the maximum special tax rate will not increase. This limitation on the escalation is for the protection of the homeowners, since allowing a special tax to escalate for the expected 30 years while bonds are outstanding would increase the tax by nearly 80% over that period, and would increase Item 2A - Page 5
City Council Staff Report
December 10, 2025 -- Page 5
Conclude Formation Proceedings For Community Facilities District No. 2025-1 (Serena Park) even more if the bonds are not issued for several years. With an 18-Year limit on the escalation, the special tax would increase by 40% by year 18 and then remain at that level as long as the bonds were outstanding, irrespective of when the bonds were issued.

A 2% escalation for an unlimited period is typical for CFDs formed throughout the State and is allowed by the City’s current Goals and Policies, so this was negotiated with the property owner as part of the City’s formation of the CFD.

The Fiscal Year 2025-26 special tax rates for CFD No. 2025-1 range from $3,470 to $5,400, depending on the size of the homes, which are expected to range from 1,750 square feet to over 2,799 square feet. The expected overall tax rate based on the sales price of the homes, including the ad valorem tax, the City’s CFD No. 2005-1 public safety services tax, and other assessments is projected to be between 1.75% and 1.80% of the sales price of the home.

The sales price of the homes used in the expected overall tax rate calculation are based on the Developer’s current estimates. Each RMA also contains a provision for a reduction in the special tax rates if, when the bonds for an Improvement Area are to be issued in the future, the approved tax rates under the RMA would cause the expected overall tax rate based on the updated sales price of the homes to exceed 2% of the sales price of the home. This will protect against a change in housing market conditions before bonds are to be issued.

The special taxes will only be levied on homes within the CFD to pay debt service on Special Tax Bonds issued in each Improvement Area, even if the RMAs allow special taxes to be levied for a longer period. The additional period is authorized to take into account the timing of when bonds might be issued in each Improvement Area. However, the special taxes will no longer be levied in an Improvement Area once any bonds issued for such Improvement Area have matured or been paid in full, expected to be 30 years from the date of issuance. The first issuance is not expected until 2027, after significant development has occurred.

Previous Actions
City Council previously declared its intention to establish CFD 2025-1, set the public hearing date on the formation of CFD 2025-1 to be December 10, 2025, directed the preparation of a CFD Report and approved the boundaries of CFD 2025-1 at its Council Meeting on October 22, 2025, by adopting Resolution No. 25347. Additionally, the Council adopted Resolution No. 25348 declaring its necessity to incur bonded indebtedness in CFD No. 2025-1.

The CFD Report (“Report”) is a separate document that includes a description of the facilities and fees, an estimate of the cost of financing the facilities and fees, and the incidental expenses. Webb Municipal Finance, the City’s special tax consultant, prepared the CFD Report for CFD 2025-1 in accordance with Government Code section 53321.5 Item 2A - Page 6

Conclude Formation Proceedings For Community Facilities District No. 2025-1 (Serena Park) (Attachment G). The Report is attached hereto, and by such action is deemed filed with the City Council.

Formation Proceedings
The City Council is required to hold a public hearing regarding the proposed CFD No. 2025-1. The resolution of intention to form CFD No. 2025-1 adopted by the City on October 22, 2025, called for such public hearing to be held on December 10, 2025. The public hearing allows all interested persons desiring to be heard on all matters pertaining to the formation of CFD No. 2025-1, and the fees and Facilities eligible to be financed by CFD No. 2025-1, the issuance of bonds by the City for CFD No. 2025-1, and the levy of the special tax, to be heard. The notice of the public hearing was published in the Desert Sun and mailed to each property owner as required by the Mello-Roos Act.

As noted above, the Report as to the costs of the Facilities to be financed by CFD No. 2025-1 is presented at this meeting.

After the public hearing, if less than a majority of owners of the land proposed to be included in CFD No. 2025-1 have filed written protests against the establishment of CFD No. 2025-1, the City Council may proceed with the actions to form CFD No. 2025-1 and authorize the levy of the special tax. If the owners of one-half or more of the area of the land in the territory proposed to be included in CFD No. 2025-1, and not exempt from the special tax, file written protests against the establishment of CFD No. 2025-1, and protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the value of the protests to less than a majority, no further proceedings to create CFD No. 2025-1 will be conducted at this meeting. There are 3 owners of land in CFD No. 2025-1, and there are no persons registered to vote residing in CFD No. 2025-1.

Resolution of Formation – The first action required if the City Council determines to proceed with the formation is the adoption of a resolution establishing CFD No. 2025-1 (“Resolution of Formation”). The Resolution of Formation:
• determines that all prior actions taken in connection with the formation of CFD No. 2025-1 and the levy of the special tax on property within CFD No. 2025-1 have been duly considered and determined to be valid and in conformity with the Mello-Roos Act;
• establishes CFD No. 2025-1;
• approves the boundaries of CFD No. 2025-1 (Attachment H) • confirms the types of Facilities and fees to be financed by CFD No. 2025-1; • provides for the levy of the special taxes in accordance with the RMAs; • provides for an initial annual appropriations limit for CFD No. 2025-1; and • requires the proposition of the levy of special tax and the proposition of the establishment of the appropriations limit to be submitted to the qualified electors of CFD No. 2025-1.

Conclude Formation Proceedings For Community Facilities District No. 2025-1 (Serena Park) Resolution of Necessity - The City will next consider adoption of a resolution determining the necessity to incur bonded indebtedness for CFD No. 2025-1 (“Resolution of Necessity”). The Resolution of Necessity provides the maximum principal amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred for the Improvement Areas within CFD No. 2025-1 as follows:

Improvement Area No. 1 $12,500,000
Improvement Area No. 2 10,600,000
Improvement Area No. 3 15,000,000
Improvement Area No. 4 7,500,000
The Resolution of Necessity requires the proposition of incurring the bonded indebtedness authorized by the resolution to be submitted to the qualified electors of CFD No. 2025-1 and consolidated with the election on the propositions required by the Resolution of Formation.

Special Election – Following the adoption of the Resolution of Formation and Resolution of Necessity, the City Council will consider the adoption of a resolution calling for a special election. A written waiver executed by the 3 owners of the property to be included in CFD No. 2025-1 allowing for a shortening of time for the special election to expedite the CFD No. 2025-1 formation process and waiving any requirement for notice, analyses and arguments in connection with the special election is on file with the City Clerk. As a result, the special election for CFD No. 2025-1 is being held at this meeting.

Once the special election has been held and the City Clerk has canvassed the election, the City Clerk will execute a Canvass and Statement of Result of Special Election, and the City Council will consider adoption of the resolution declaring the results of special election (Attachment D). Following the adoption of this resolution, the City Clerk will cause a notice of special tax lien to be recorded in the Riverside County Recorder’s Office.

Special Tax Levy; First Reading of Ordinance– Following the public hearing on the formation, election and adoption of the foregoing resolutions, the City Council will be asked to introduce an Ordinance Levying Special Taxes within CFD No. 2025-1 for first reading by title only.

Resolution Approving Funding, Construction and Acquisition Agreement - The City will consider adoption of a resolution approving the Funding, Construction and Acquisition Agreement (Attachment J) between the City and the Developer relating to the Facilities and DIFs that will be financed by Improvement Area Nos. 1, 2 and 3 of CFD No. 2025-1.

Once the Developer acquires the property in Improvement Area No. 4, Improvement Area No. 4 will be subject to the Funding, Construction and Acquisition Agreement with no further action required by the City Council.

The City will be reimbursed for any costs to form the CFD through a deposit made by the Developer to pay for the formation costs of the Special Tax Consultant, Bond Counsel and Municipal Advisor, as well as staff costs.

special taxes levied in any Fiscal Year against any Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property in an Improvement Area as a result of a delinquency or default in the payment of the Special Tax applicable to any other Assessor’s Parcel in such Improvement Area by more than ten percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquency or default.

The conditions under which the obligation to pay the special taxes may be prepaid and permanently satisfied are as set forth in the respective RMAs attached hereto.

Pursuant to Section 53340 of the California Government Code, said special taxes shall be collected in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem property taxes are collected and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure, sale, and lien priority in case of delinquency as is provided for ad valorem taxes.

Upon recordation of a notice of special tax lien for each Improvement Area pursuant to Section 3114.5 of the California Streets and Highways Code, a continuing lien to secure each levy of the special taxes shall attach to all non-exempt real property within the applicable Improvement Area of the District, and that lien shall continue in force and effect until the special tax obligation is prepaid and permanently satisfied and the lien canceled in accordance with law or until collection of the special taxes ceases pursuant to the respective RMA. The Finance Department of the City, 3200 Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs, CA 92262, telephone number (760) 323-8229, is designated as the office responsible for preparing annually a current roll of special tax levy obligations by assessor's parcel numbers, and for estimating future special tax levies pursuant to Section 53340.2 of the California Government Code.

SECTION 5. Exempt Properties. Pursuant to Section 53340 of the California Government Code, and except as provided in Section 53317.3 of said Code, properties of entities of the state, federal, and local governments shall be exempt from the levy of special taxes pursuant to the applicable RMA.

SECTION 6. Necessity. The City Council finds that the Authorized Facilities described in Section 3 hereof are necessary to meet increased demands placed upon the City as a result of new development occurring within the boundaries of the District.

SECTION 7. Report. The Report is hereby approved and is made a part of the record of the public hearing regarding the formation of the District, and is ordered to be kept on file with the City Clerk as part of the transcript of these proceedings.

SECTION 8. Repayment of Funds Advanced or Work-in-Kind. Pursuant to Section 53314.9 of the California Government Code, the City Council proposes to accept advances of funds or work-in-kind from private persons or private entities and to provide, by resolution, for the use of those funds or that work-in-kind for any authorized purpose, including but not limited to, paying any costs incurred by the City in creating the District, and to enter into an agreement, by resolution, with the person or entity advancing the funds or work-in-kind to repay funds advanced, or to reimburse the Item 2A - Page 15
Resolution No. ______

Page 6 ends

person or entity for the value, or cost, whichever is less, of the work-in-kind, as determined by the City Council.

SECTION 10. Prohibition of Owner Contracts. Pursuant to Section 53329.5 of the California Government Code, the City Council finds that the public interest will not be served by allowing the Owners of property within the District to enter into a contract in accordance with subdivision (a) of that section, and that such Owners shall not be permitted to elect to perform the work and enter into a written contract with the City for the construction of the public facilities pursuant to said Section 53329.5.

SECTION 11. Description of Voting Procedures. The voting procedures to be followed within each Improvement Area shall be pursuant to Section 53326 of the California Government Code and pursuant to the applicable provisions of the California Election Code governing mail ballot elections of cities, insofar as they may be applicable.

The procedures set forth in this section for conducting the consolidated special elections, if they are held, may be modified as the City Council may determine to be necessary or desirable by a resolution subsequently adopted by the City Council.

SECTION 12. CEQA. The City Council finds this Resolution is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) in that the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty, as in this case, that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

SECTION 13. Severability. If any provision of this Resolution or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications, and to this end the provisions of this Resolution are declared to be severable.

SECTION 14. Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its adoption.

When a Final Map is recorded, the Backup Special Tax for a Parcel classified or to be classified as Single Family Property within such Final Map shall be determined by multiplying the Undeveloped Property Maximum Special Tax per Acre by the total Acreage of Taxable Property within such Final Map, excluding the Acreage associated with (i) Public Property and/or Property Owners’ Association Property that is not Exempt Property pursuant to Section E and (ii) Other Property, , and dividing such amount by the number of Parcels within such Final Map classified as either (i) Single Family Property or (ii) Approved Property for which a Building Permit is expected to be issued for Single Family Property (i.e., the number of residential lots).

A Parcel that does not have any changes made to it after the initial assignment of the Backup Special Tax shall not be increased if other Parcels in a Final Map are changed. Prior to the issuance of Bonds, if Parcels classified or to be classified as Single Family Property are subsequently changed or modified by recordation of a lot line adjustment or similar instrument, then the Backup Special Tax shall be recalculated for the area that has been changed or modified using the methodology described in the preceding paragraph. Following the issuance of Bonds, no adjustments shall be made to the Backup Special Tax for any Parcel which would result in the reduction of debt service coverage, as projected at the time of Bond issuance.

The Backup Special Tax shall not apply to Other Property, Public Property, or Property Owners’ Association Property.

On each July 1, commencing July 1, 2026, the Backup Special Tax shall be increased by an amount equal to two percent (2.0%) of the amount in effect for the previous Fiscal Year. July 1, 2043 shall be the final year the Backup Special Tax increases.

$33,834

4. Public Property and/or Property Owners’ Association Property that is not Exempt Property pursuant to the provisions of Section E.

The Maximum Special Tax for each Parcel of Public Property and/or Property Owners Association Property that is not Exempt Property shall be equal to the product of the applicable Undeveloped Property Maximum Special Tax rate per Acre in Table 2 multiplied by the Acreage of such Parcel.

5. Special Tax Reduction Prior to Issuance of First Series of Bonds.

Prior to the issuance of the first series of Bonds, the CFD shall do one of the following 1) select and engage a Price Point Consultant, where the Price Point Consultant shall prepare a Price Point Study setting forth the Minimum Sale Price of Dwelling Units within each Land Use Category of Residential Property or 2) select and engage a MAI Certified Appraiser, where the MAI Certified Appraiser shall prepare an appraisal setting forth at least the minimum market value of Dwelling Units within each Land Use Category of Residential Property. If, based upon such Price Point Study or appraisal, the Administrator calculates that the Total Tax Burden applicable to Dwelling Units within one or more Land Use Category of Residential Property to be constructed within the CFD exceeds 2.00% of the Minimum Sale Price of such Taxable Units, the Special Tax within such Land Use Category of Residential Property shall be reduced to the extent necessary to cause the Total Tax Burden applicable to Dwelling Units within such Land Use Category(ies) not to exceed 2.00% of the Minimum Sale Price of such Taxable Units. Each Special Tax reduction for a Land Use Category shall be calculated by the Administrator separately, and it shall not be required that such reduction be proportionate among Land Use Categories.

If the Special Tax for any Land Use Category is reduced pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Administrator shall calculate a reduced Maximum Special Tax for Other Property and Undeveloped Property, as well as a reduced Backup Special Tax for Developed Property. The revised Backup Special Tax shall be equal to the Maximum Special Tax as set forth in Table 1, reduced by a percentage equal to the weighted average percentage reduction in the Special Tax for all Land Use Categories of Residential Property. The weighted average percentage will be calculated by taking the sum of the products of the number of Taxable Units constructed or expected to be constructed in each Land Use Category multiplied by the percentage change in the Special Tax for each Land Use Category (or 0 for Land Use Categories that are not changing). This amount is then divided by the total number of Dwelling Units constructed or expected to be constructed and converted to a percentage. The reduced Maximum Special Tax shall be used to compute the reduced Backup Special Tax. Following the issuance of Bonds, no adjustments shall be made to the Backup Special Tax for any Parcel which would result in the reduction of debt service coverage, as projected at the time of Bond issuance.

The Special Tax reductions, if required pursuant to this section, shall be reflected in an amended notice of Special Tax lien, which the CFD shall cause to be recorded by executing a certificate in substantially the form attached herein as Exhibit B.

Item 2A - Page 25
A-1
D. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2026-2027 and for each following Fiscal Year, the City Council shall levy the Special Tax on all Taxable Property until the amount of Special Taxes equals the applicable Special Tax Requirement in accordance with the following steps:

First: The Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of Developed Property at up to 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax rate as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement; Second: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first step has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of Approved Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for Approved Property; Third: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first two steps have been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of Undeveloped Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for Undeveloped Property; Fourth: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first three steps have been completed, the Special Tax to be levied on each Parcel of Developed Property for which the Maximum Special Tax is derived by the application of the Backup Special Tax shall be increased in equal percentages from the Assigned Special Tax up to the Maximum Special Tax for such Parcel;
Fifth: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first four steps have been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of Taxable Property that is Public Property or Property Owners’ Association Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for such Parcel.

Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Taxes levied in any Fiscal Year against any Parcel of Residential Property as a result of a delinquency in the payment of the Special Tax applicable to any other Parcel be increased by more than ten percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquency or default.

E. EXEMPTIONS
The Administrator shall classify as Exempt Property all Parcels of (i) Public Property or (ii) Property Owners’ Association Property; provided that such classification shall not reduce the Acreage of all Taxable Property of the CFD to fewer than 16.07 Acres. The Administrator shall not classify a Parcel of Public Property or Property Owners’ Association Property as Exempt Property if such classification would reduce the Acreage of all Parcels of Taxable Property to fewer than 16.07 Acres. Such Parcels that cannot be classified as Exempt Property because such classification would reduce the Acreage of all Parcels of Taxable Property to fewer than 16.07 Acres will be classified as Property Owners’ Association Property or Public Property and will continue to be subject to Special Taxes. The Administrator shall classify such Parcels as Exempt Property in the chronological order in which property becomes Public Property or Property Owners’ Association Property.

F. MANNER OF COLLECTION
Item 2A - Page 26
A-1
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes and shall be subject to the same penalties, the same procedure, sale and lien priority in the case of delinquency; provided, however, that the Administrator may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet the financial obligations of Improvement Area No. 1, and provided further that the CFD may covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose on Parcels having delinquent Special Taxes as permitted by the Act.

G. APPEALS
Any taxpayer may file a written appeal of the Special Tax on his/her Parcel(s) with the Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes. During pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes previously levied 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 Administrator shall review the appeal, meet with the appellant if the Administrator deems necessary, and advise the appellant of its determination. If the Administrator agrees with the appellant, the Administrator shall grant a credit to eliminate or reduce future Special Taxes on the appellant’s Parcel(s). No refunds of previously paid Special Taxes shall be made.

The Administrator shall interpret this Rate and Method and make determinations relative to the annual levy and administration of the Special Tax and any taxpayer who appeals, as herein specified.

The City Council may interpret this Rate and Method for purposes of clarifying any ambiguity and make determinations relative to the amount of Administrative Expenses.

H. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following definitions apply to this Section H:
“CFD Public Facilities” means $9,690,276, expressed in 2025 dollars, which shall increase by the Construction Inflation Index on July 1, 2026, and on each July 1 thereafter, or such lower number as (i) shall be determined by the Administrator as sufficient to provide the public facilities under the authorized bonding program, or (ii) shall be determined by the City Council concurrently with a covenant that the CFD will not issue any more Bonds.
“Construction Fund” means, collectively, an account specifically identified in the Indenture to hold funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or construct public facilities eligible under the Act and any account established prior to the issuance of Bonds for such purpose. “Construction Inflation Index” means the annual percentage change in the Engineering NewsRecord Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles, measured as of the calendar year which ends in the previous Fiscal Year.

A-1
allocated to Construction Funds and accounts that were available to fund such CFD Public Facilities prior to the date of prepayment, but not less than $0.
“Outstanding Bonds” means all previously issued Bonds, which will remain outstanding after the payment of principal from the amount of Special Taxes that have been levied, excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with the proceeds of prior prepayments of Maximum Special Taxes.

1. Prepayment in Full
The Maximum Special Tax obligation may be prepaid and permanently satisfied for (i) Parcels of Developed Property, (ii) Parcels of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, (iii) Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued, and (iv) Parcels of Public Property or Property Owners’ Association Property that are not Exempt Property pursuant to Section E. The Maximum Special Tax obligation applicable to a Parcel may be fully prepaid and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Parcel permanently satisfied as described herein; provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of a Parcel intending to prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation for such Parcel shall provide the Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay, and within 5 business days of receipt of such notice, the Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the Prepayment Amount (as defined below) for the Parcel. Within 15 days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the Administrator shall notify such owner of the Prepayment Amount for the Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for any Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes.

The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as follows (capitalized terms are defined below):

Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
Equals: Prepayment Amount
The Prepayment Amount shall be determined as of the proposed prepayment date as follows:

1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Parcel.

2. For a Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Parcel. For a Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the Building Permit which has been issued for the Parcel. For a Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued, Public Property or Property Owners’ Association Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Parcel.

Item 2A - Page 28
A-1

3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total amount of Special Taxes that could be levied at the Maximum Special Tax at build out of all Parcels of Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Developed Property not including any Parcels for which the Special Tax obligation has been previously prepaid.

4. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds to determine the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).

5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).

6. Determine the Future Facilities Costs.

7. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 6 to determine the amount of Future Facilities Costs for the Parcel (the “Future Facilities Amount”).

8. Determine the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds on which Bonds can be redeemed from Special Tax prepayments.

9. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which have not yet been paid.

10. Determine the amount the Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the investment of the Bond Redemption Amount and the Redemption Premium from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount.

11. Add the amounts derived pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount derived pursuant to paragraph 10 (the “Defeasance Amount”).

12. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of the CFD, including the cost of computation of the Prepayment Amount, the cost to invest the Prepayment Amount, the cost of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the cost of recording notices to evidence the prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation for the Parcel and the redemption of Outstanding Bonds (the “Administrative Fees and Expenses”).

13. The reserve fund credit (the “Reserve Fund Credit”) shall equal the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.

Item 2A - Page 29
A-1

14. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance Amount and the Administrative Fees and Expenses, less the Reserve Fund Credit.

15. From the Prepayment Amount, the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, and Defeasance Amount shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments. The Future Facilities Amount shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The Administrative Fees and Expenses shall be retained by the CFD.

The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of Bonds. In such event, the increment above $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next redemption from other Special Tax prepayments of Outstanding Bonds or to make debt service payments.

As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy as determined pursuant to paragraph 9 above, the Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy for the Parcel from the County tax roll. With respect to any Parcel for which the Maximum Special Tax obligation is prepaid, the City Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Maximum Special Tax obligation and the release of the Special Tax lien for the Parcel, and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Parcel shall cease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the amount of Maximum Special Taxes that may be levied on all Parcels of Taxable Property after the proposed prepayment will be at least 1.1 times maximum annual debt service on the Bonds that will remain outstanding after the prepayment plus the estimated annual Administrative Expenses.

Tenders of Bonds in prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation may be accepted upon the terms and conditions established by the City Council pursuant to the Act. However, the use of Bond tenders shall only be allowed on a case-by-case basis as specifically approved by the City Council.

2. Prepayment in Part
The Maximum Special Tax obligation for a Parcel of Developed Property, Approved Property or Undeveloped Property may be partially prepaid. For purposes of determining the partial prepayment amount, the provisions of Section H.1 shall be modified as provided by the following formula:

PP = ((PE –A) x F) +A
These terms have the following meaning:

PP = Partial Prepayment
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section H.1 F = the percent by which the owner of the Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the Maximum Special Tax obligation
A = the Administrative Fees and Expenses determined pursuant to Section H.1 Item 2A - Page 30
A-1
The owner of a Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation for the Parcel shall notify the Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation, (ii) the percentage of the Maximum Special Tax obligation such owner wishes to prepay, and (iii) the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. Within 5 days of receipt of such notice, the Administrator shall notify such property owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the amount of a partial prepayment. Within 15 business days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the Partial Prepayment for the Parcel. A Partial Prepayment must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Partial Prepayment.

With respect to any Parcel for which the Maximum Special Tax obligation is partially prepaid, the Administrator shall (i) distribute the Partial Prepayment as provided in Paragraph 15 of Section H.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of the CFD that there has been a Partial Prepayment for the Parcel and that a portion of the Special Tax obligation equal to the remaining percentage (1.00 - F) of Special Tax obligation will continue on the Parcel pursuant to Section D.

I. TERM OF THE SPECIAL TAX
The Special Tax shall not be levied after the 2065-2066 Fiscal Year.

The Administrator shall not classify a Parcel of Public Property or Property Owners’ Association Property as Exempt Property if such classification would reduce the Acreage of all Parcels of Taxable Property to fewer than 16.57 Acres. Such Parcels that cannot be classified as Exempt Property because such classification would reduce the Acreage of all Parcels of Taxable Property to fewer than 16.57 Acres will be classified as Property Owners’ Association Property or Public Property and will continue to be subject to Special Taxes. The Item 2A - Page 41

Administrator shall classify such Parcels as Exempt Property in the chronological order in which property becomes Public Property or Property Owners’ Association Property.

F. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes and shall be subject to the same penalties, the same procedure, sale and lien priority in the case of delinquency; provided, however, that the Administrator may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet the financial obligations of Improvement Area No. 2, and provided further that the CFD may covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose on Parcels having delinquent Special Taxes as permitted by the Act.

The Administrator shall interpret this Rate and Method and make determinations relative to the annual levy and administration of the Special Tax and any taxpayer who appeals, as herein specified.

The City Council may interpret this Rate and Method for purposes of clarifying any ambiguity and make determinations relative to the amount of Administrative Expenses.

H. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX

B-1
Index shall be another index as determined by the Administrator that is reasonably comparable to the Engineering News-Record Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles. “Future Facilities Costs” means the CFD Public Facilities minus (i) Bond proceeds deposited in Construction Funds and accounts and (ii) other amounts (special taxes, interest earnings, etc.) allocated to Construction Funds and accounts that were available to fund such CFD Public Facilities prior to the date of prepayment, but not less than $0.

The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as follows (capitalized terms are defined below):

1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Parcel.

2. For a Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Parcel. For a Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, Item 2A - Page 43
55575.70015\44351268.1
B-1

For a Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued, Public Property or Property Owners’ Association Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Parcel.

5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).

9. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which have not yet been paid.

11. Add the amounts derived pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount derived pursuant to paragraph 10 (the “Defeasance Amount”).

13. The reserve fund credit (the “Reserve Fund Credit”) shall equal the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by Item 2A - Page 44
55575.70015\44351268.1
B-1
subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.

These terms have the following meaning:

PP = Partial Prepayment
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section H.1 Item 2A - Page 45
55575.70015\44351268.1
B-1
F = the percent by which the owner of the Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the Maximum Special Tax obligation

Within 5 days of receipt of such notice, the Administrator shall notify such property owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the amount of a partial prepayment. Within 15 business days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the Partial Prepayment for the Parcel. A Partial Prepayment must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Partial Prepayment.
