Not applicable
6.03- Applicable Law
“Applicable Law” shall mean the existing rules, regulations, official policies, standards and specifications governing permitted uses of the project site; governing density; and governing design, improvements, and construction standards and specifications applicable to the Project and Project site as set forth in this Agreement and the Project Approvals, and in force and effect on the Effective Date of this Agreement. However, this Agreement and this Section shall not be construed to prevent the City, in any subsequent actions applicable to the Project Site, from applying any new rules, regulations, official policies, standards, and specifications that do not conflict with those rules, regulations, official policies, standards, and specifications existing as of the Effective Date of the Agreement.
Not applicable
6.04-Uniform Codes
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, City may apply to the Project Site, at any time during the Term, the then current Uniform Building Code and other uniform construction codes as properly modified by City and uniformly applied on a citywide basis, and City’s then current design and construction standards for road and storm drain facilities. In no event shall any such uniform code or standard be adopted for the purpose of preventing or otherwise limiting construction of all or any part of the Project.
Not applicable
6.05-Moratorium and Conflicting
Enactments
To the extent consistent with State Law, if any ordinance, resolution or other measure is enacted, whether by action of City, by initiative, referendum, or otherwise, that imposes a building moratorium, a limit on the rate of development, or a voter-approval requirement which would otherwise affect the timely development of the Project on all or any part of the Project Site, City agrees that such ordinance, resolution or other measure shall not apply to the Project, the Project Site, this Agreement, the Project Approvals, or the Subsequent Approvals, if any, during the term of this Agreement, unless the building moratorium is imposed as part of a declaration of a local emergency or state of emergency as defined in Government Code Section 8558. Developer reserves the right to challenge in court any City action or inaction which Developer believes is in conflict with Applicable Law or this Agreement.
Not applicable

6.07-State and Federal Law
As provided in California Government Code § 65869.5, if any state or federal laws or regulations, enacted after this Agreement’s Effective Date prevent or preclude compliance with one or more provisions of this Agreement (“Changes in the Law”), such provision of the Agreement shall be modified or suspended as may be necessary to comply with such state or federal laws or regulations as may be necessary to comply with Changes in the Law, and City and Developer shall take such action as may be required pursuant to this Agreement including, without limitation, Article V and Section 10.05. Not in limitation of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude City from imposing on Developer any fee specifically required by State or Federal laws and regulations.
Not applicable
6.08-Timing of Project Construction and
Completion
(a) Project Phasing. The Project may be built in phases in response to then-existing market conditions over the Term of the Agreement. Except as otherwise specifically provided by this Agreement with respect to Project infrastructure timing, City and Developer expressly agree that there is no requirement that Developer initiate or complete development of the Project or any particular phase of the Project within any particular period of time, and City shall not impose such a requirement on any Project Approval. The parties acknowledge that Developer cannot at this time predict when or the rate at which or the order in which phases will be developed. Such decisions depend upon numerous factors which are not within the control of Developer, such as market demand, interest rates, competition and other similar factors. (b) Project Time Schedule. The parties agree that Developer shall be able to develop in accordance with Developer’s own time schedule as such schedule may exist from time to time, and Developer shall determine which part of the Project Site to develop first, and at Developer’s chosen schedule. In particular, and not in limitation of any of the foregoing, since the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo, 37 Cal.3d 465 (1984), that the failure of the parties therein to consider and expressly provide for the timing of development resulted in a later-adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to prevail over such parties’ agreement, it is the parties’ desire to avoid that result by acknowledging that Developer shall have the right to develop the Project in such order and at such rate and at such times as Developer deems appropriate within the exercise of its subjective business judgment. Developer’s rights under this Section 6.08(b) shall be subject to the requirement that adequate infrastructure to serve each phase of the Project is constructed concurrently with such phase. The City Manager shall reasonably determine what infrastructure will be required to serve each phase of the Project, which determination shall be consistent with Applicable Law. (c) Developer Agreements. Nothing in this Agreement shall exempt Developer from completing work required by a subdivision agreement, road improvement agreement, or similar agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.
Not applicable
6.09-Exempting Fees, Mitigation
Measures,...
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the City agrees to exclude Developer from any and all discretionary collection agreements regarding fees, mitigation measures and similar requirements including, but not limited to, development impact fees, which other public agencies request the City to impose at City’s discretion on the Project or on the Project Site after the Effective Date through the Term of this Agreement. This Section 6.09 shall not prohibit the City from imposing on Developer any fee, mitigation measure or similar requirement or obligation that is required by a local or regional agency in accordance with local, regional, State or Federal obligations and implemented by the City in cooperation with such local, regional, state or federal agency, provided such fee, mitigation measure or similar requirement or obligation is imposed in a similar manner on similarly situated properties within the City as, for example, stormwater-related C.3 requirements and increases thereto.

7.02- Amendment of this Agreement
To the extent permitted by State and Federal law, any Project Approval or Subsequent Approval may, from time to time, be amended or modified in the following manner:
(a) Administrative Project Amendments. Upon the written request of Developer for an amendment or modification to a Project Approval or Subsequent Approval, the City Manager or his/her designee shall determine: (i) whether the requested amendment or modification is minor when considered in light of the Project as a whole; and (ii) whether the requested amendment or modification is consistent with this Agreement, Applicable Law, applicable uniform codes and State or Federal law. If the City Manager or his/her designee finds that the proposed amendment or modification is minor in the context of the entire Project, consistent with this Agreement and Applicable Law, and will result in no new significant environmental impacts, the amendment shall be determined to be an “Administrative Project Amendment” and the City Manager or his/her designee may, except to the extent otherwise required by law, approve the Administrative Project Amendment without notice and public hearing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, lot line adjustments, reductions in the density, intensity, scale or scope of the Project, minor alterations in vehicle circulation patterns or vehicle access points, changes in trail alignments, minor variations in lot layouts, substitutions of comparable landscaping for any landscaping shown on any final development plan or landscape plan, variations in the location of structures that do not substantially alter the design concepts of the Project, variations in the location or installation of utilities and other infrastructure connections or facilities that do not substantially alter the design concepts of the Project, and minor adjustments to the Project Site diagram or Project Site legal description shall be treated as Administrative Project Amendments. (b) Non-Administrative Project Amendments. Any request of Developer for an amendment or modification to a Project Approval or Subsequent Approval which is determined not to be an Administrative Project Amendment as set forth above shall be subject to review, consideration and action pursuant to the Applicable Law and this Agreement.
Not applicable

Such Transfer Agreement may (i) release Developer from obligations under the Agreement, the Project Approvals, or the Subsequent Approvals that pertain to that portion of the Project being transferred or assigned, as described in the Transfer Agreement, provided that the transferee expressly assumes such obligations, (ii) transfer to the transferee vested rights to improve that portion of the Project being transferred and (iii) address any other matter deemed by Developer to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the transfer or assignment.
(b) Any Transfer Agreement shall be binding on Developer, City and the transferee and, unless otherwise provided for in Section 8.03 of this Agreement, shall require the City’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Failure by City to respond within thirty (30) days of a written request by Developer for City’s consent shall be deemed City’s approval of the Transfer Agreement in question. City may refuse to give its consent only if, in light of the proposed transferee’s reputation and financial resources, such transferee would not in City’s reasonable determination be able to perform the obligations proposed to be assumed by such transferee. Such determination shall be made by the City Manager and is appealable to the City Council. In no event, however, shall City refuse to give its consent to a proposed transferee pursuant to this Section 8.02(b) if such transferee has a net worth of at least Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) documented in a manner reasonably acceptable to City. Upon recordation of any Transfer Agreement in the Official Records of Contra Costa County, Developer shall automatically be released from those obligations assumed by the transferee therein. (c) Developer shall be free from any and all liabilities accruing on or after the date of any assignment or transfer with respect to those obligations assumed by a transferee pursuant to a Transfer Agreement. No breach or default hereunder by any person succeeding to any portion of Developer’s obligations under this Agreement shall be attributed to Developer, nor may Developer’s rights hereunder be canceled or diminished in any way by any breach or default by any such person.

The transferee in such a transaction and its successors (“Non-Assuming Transferees”) shall be deemed to have no obligations under this Agreement but shall continue to benefit from the vested rights provided by this Agreement for the duration of the Term. Nothing in this Section 8.03 shall exempt any property transferred to a Non-Assuming Transferee from payment of applicable fees and assessments or compliance with applicable conditions of approval.
Not applicable

City’s failure to deliver such notice within such time period shall constitute a conclusive presumption against City that this Agreement is in full force and effect without modification except as may be represented by the Developer and that there are no uncured defaults in the performance of the Developer, except as may be represented by the Developer.

Exhibit -1- Edgewater DA - 2025 Annual Review Summary Table
10.01-Defaults
Any failure by either party to perform any term or provision of this Agreement, which failure continues uncured for a period of thirty (30) days following written notice of such failure from the other party (the “Complaining Party”) (unless such period is extended by mutual written consent), shall constitute a default under this Agreement. The Complaining Party’s notice (“Default Notice”) shall specify the nature of the alleged failure and, may specify the manner in which the failure satisfactorily may be cured by the other party (the “Defaulting Party”). Any failures or delays by a Complaining Party in asserting any of its rights and remedies as to any default shall not operate as a waiver of a default or of any such rights or remedies. Delays by a Complaining Party in asserting any of its rights and remedies shall not deprive the Complaining Party of its right to institute and maintain any actions or proceedings, which it may deem necessary to protect, assert, or enforce any such rights or remedies. If the nature of the alleged failure is such that it cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period, then no fault shall be deemed to have occurred if: (a) the cure shall be commenced at the earliest practicable date following receipt of the Default Notice; (b) the cure is diligently prosecuted to completion at all times thereafter; (c) at the earliest practicable date (if no event later than thirty (30) days after the Defaulting Party’s receipt of the Default Notice), the Defaulting Party provides written notice to the Complaining Party that the cure cannot practicably be completed within such 30-day period; and (d) the cure is completed at the earliest practicable date. In no event shall Complaining Party be precluded from exercising remedies if a default is not cured within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Notice of Default is given. Complaining Party shall not send notice to any third party, including, but not limited to, bonding and surety companies, until such time as the cure opportunities set forth above have expired unless otherwise required by applicable law. Upon the occurrence of a default under this Agreement, the Complaining Party may institute legal proceedings to enforce the terms of this Agreement or, in the event of a material default, terminate this Agreement.
If the default is cured consistent with this Section, then no default shall exist, and the Complaining Party shall take no further action.
Not applicable
10.02-Termination
If City elects to consider terminating this Agreement due to a material default of Developer, then City shall give a notice of intent to terminate this Agreement and the matter shall be scheduled for consideration and review by the City Council at a duly noticed and conducted public hearing. As used herein, a finding of materiality shall be based on the effect of the default in relation to the size and scope of the Project. Developer shall have the right to offer written and oral evidence prior to or at the time of said public hearings. If the City Council determines that a material default has occurred and is continuing, and elects to terminate this Agreement, City shall give written notice of termination of this Agreement to Developer by certified mail and this Agreement shall thereby be terminated sixty (60) days thereafter; provided, however, that if Developer files an action to challenge City’s termination of this Agreement within such 60-day period, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until a trial court has affirmed City’s termination of this Agreement and all appeals have been exhausted (or the time for requesting any and all appellate review has expired).

10.03-Periodic Review
(a) Conducting the Periodic Review. Throughout the Term of this Agreement, at least once every twelve (12) months following the execution of this Agreement, City shall review the extent of good-faith compliance by Developer with the terms of this Agreement. This review (the “Periodic Review”) shall be conducted by the City Manager or his/her designee and shall be limited in scope to compliance with the terms of this Agreement pursuant to California Government Code § 65865.1. Developer also agrees to pay City annually the greater of Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500) or the actual cost of Periodic Review Fee (not to exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000)) for the first annual review and, for subsequent reviews, the Developer’s obligation to pay annually shall be the greater of Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500) or the actual cost of Periodic Review Fee (not to exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000)). The Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500) shall be increased annually thereafter by the CPI for the San Francisco Oakland Area, with the first increase implemented in January 2019 reflecting 2018 increases. Such Periodic Review Fee shall only be paid in the years in which a Periodic Review is actually conducted.
(b) Notice. At least ten (10) days prior to the Periodic Review, and in the manner prescribed in Article XII of this Agreement, City shall deposit in the mail to Developer a copy of any staff reports and documents to be used or relied upon in conducting the review and, to the extent practical, related exhibits concerning Developer’s performance hereunder. Developer shall be permitted an opportunity to respond to City’s evaluation of Developer’s performance, either orally at a public hearing or in a written statement, at Developer’s election. Such response shall be made to the City Manager. (c) Good Faith Compliance. During the Periodic Review, the City Manager shall review Developer’s good-faith compliance with the terms of this Agreement. At the conclusion of the Periodic Review, the City Manager shall make written findings and determinations, on the basis of substantial evidence, as to whether or not Developer has complied in good faith with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The decision of the City Manager shall be appealable to the City Council. If the City Manager finds and determines that Developer has not complied with such terms and conditions, the City Manager may recommend to the City Council that it terminate or modify this Agreement by giving notice of its intention to do so, in the manner set forth in California Government Code §§ 65867 and 65868. The costs incurred by City in connection with the Periodic Review process described herein shall be shared equally by Developer and City.
(d) Failure to Properly Conduct Periodic Review. If, after thirty (30) days following Developer’s notice requesting a Periodic Review, City fails to initiate the Periodic Review, such failure shall be conclusively deemed an approval by City of Developer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement. (e) Written Notice of Compliance. With respect to any year for which Developer has been determined or deemed to have complied with this Agreement, City shall, within thirty (30) days following a written request by Developer, provide Developer with a written notice of compliance, in recordable form, duly executed and acknowledged by City. Developer shall have the right, in Developer’s sole discretion, to record such notice of compliance.
Compliant
10.04-Extension of Time of Performance
In addition to specific provisions of this Agreement, neither party shall be deemed to be in default where delays in performance or failures to perform are due to, and a necessary outcome of, war, insurrection, terrorism, strikes or other labor disturbances, walk-outs, riots, floods, earthquakes, fires, casualties, acts of God, restrictions imposed or mandated by other governmental entities (including new or supplemental environmental regulations), enactment of conflicting State or Federal laws or regulations, or judicial decisions. Neither party shall be deemed to be in default where delays in performance or failure to perform are due to a court order arising out of or related to litigation attacking the validity of this Agreement, the Project Approvals, the Subsequent Approvals, or any permit, ordinance, entitlement or other action of a governmental agency other than City necessary for the development of the Project.
Developer shall not be deemed to be in default where delays in performance or failure to perform are due to Developer’s inability to obtain materials, power or public facilities (such as water or sewer service) to the Project and unrelated to Developer’s actions or inactions and beyond Developer’s control. Upon the properly noticed request of either party hereto, as required by Section 12.09, an extension of time for the performance of any obligation whose performance has been so prevented or delayed will be set forth in writing. The term of any such extension shall be equal to the period of the excusable delay, or longer, as may be mutually agreed upon in writing.

With regard to any dispute involving development of the Project, the resolution of which is not provided for by this Agreement or Applicable Law, Developer shall, at City’s request, meet with City. The parties to any such meetings shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such disputes. If the parties are then unable to resolve their dispute, either party may commence mediation by providing to JAMS, or its successor, and the other party a written request for mediation, setting forth the subject of the dispute and the relief requested. The parties will cooperate with JAMS and with one another in selecting a mediator from JAMS’ panel of neutrals, and in scheduling the mediation proceedings. The parties covenant that they will participate in the mediation in good faith, and that they will share equally in its costs.

Except for such an action to obtain equitable relief, neither party may commence a civil action with respect to the matters submitted to mediation until after the completion of the initial mediation session, or ninety (90) days after the date of filing the written request for mediation, whichever occurs first. Mediation may continue after the commencement of a civil action, if the parties both agree in writing.

MEETING DATE: February 17, 2026
TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Darin E. Gale‚ City Manager

William Hatcher, Lieutenant
SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution Authorizing the Acceptance and Appropriation of State of California Tobacco Law Enforcement Grant Funds
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Police Department is seeking City Council authorization to accept and appropriate grant funds from the State of California Tobacco Law Enforcement Program; made available through the California Healthcare, Research and Prevention Tobacco Tax Act of 2016 (Prop. 56) and administered by the California Department of Justice (DOJ) to support local efforts to reduce the illegal sale of tobacco products to minors.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no fiscal impact to the General Fund as the funds from the grant will reimburse the City for costs of implementing enforcement, compliant and educational operations directed at tobacco sales and retailers within the city. This is a 36-month grant covering Fiscal Year (FY) 2026/27, FY 2027/28, and FY 2028/29 and during this time the Pittsburg Police Department will receive a total reimbursement of $342,675.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends City Council approval of the attached resolution authorizing the appropriation of the State of California Tobacco Law Enforcement grant funds and authorizing the City Manager or his designee to act on the City’s behalf relative to this grant, including the establishment of necessary fiscal accounting.
BACKGROUND
The grant funds will cover a five-part program related to the compliance and education of tobacco sales and retailers within the City of Pittsburg. The program goals are listed as follows:
Retail Inspections
• Per year, 36 retailers will be inspected.
• Additional details regarding these inspections:
1. The tobacco officer has a list of businesses which have a tobacco license and, every month, will randomly select 4–5 businesses to conduct a compliance inspection. If the officer receives information that a business is selling flavored tobacco, illicit narcotics, or is a problem retailer, then the officer will focus his/her attention to that business and determine whether a minor decoy/shoulder tap operation is needed. The tobacco officer commonly partners with another police detective and our code enforcement division. They will jointly conduct the compliance check for criminal and municipal code violations. If a violation is discovered, then the proper citation is issued, and a follow-up inspection is made at a later date.
Minor Decoy Operations
• Per year, 6 minor decoy operations will be conducted. • Per year, 36 retailers will be targeted through these operations. • Additional details regarding these operations:
1. The tobacco officer will conduct a retail inspection to provide education to the business. At a later date, the tobacco officer will then conduct a minor decoy operation to determine if the retailer is compliant. The minor decoy enters the business and attempts to purchase a tobacco product from behind the counter by asking the clerk. If the clerk asks the minor decoy for his/her identification or their age, the decoy will provide a true age or their true identification. If an illegal sale is made, enforcement action is taken.
Shoulder Tap Operations
• Per year, 6 shoulder tap operations will be conducted. • Per year, 36 retailers will be targeted through these operations. • Additional details regarding these operations:
1. Our agency primarily conducts shoulder tap operations in conjunction with minor decoy operations. The minor decoy enters the business and attempts to purchase a tobacco product from behind the counter by asking the clerk. If the clerk denies the decoy the sale, the decoy will walk outside the business and ask a nearby patron to buy tobacco for him/her.
If the patron agrees and is successful, they are given a citation for a violation of the penal code.
Undercover Buys
• Per year, 6 undercover buy operations will be conducted (other than minor decoy or shoulder tap).
• Per year, 36 retailers will be targeted through these operations. • Additional details regarding these undercover operations:
1. Our agency primarily conducts these operations when information is gathered that a particular business is selling flavored tobacco or illicit narcotics. Our tobacco officer will also randomly select retailers for these operations to make sure they are acting in compliance. The undercover officer enters the business and attempts to purchase a tobacco product from behind the counter by asking the clerk. If the clerk denies the officer the sale, the officer immediately leaves the business. If the sale is successful, the clerk is issued a citation for a violation of the penal code.
Retailer Education
• Per year, 36 retailers will receive educational materials. • Per year, 36 retailers will receive on-site education. • Additional details regarding these retailer education activities:
1. During each period of evaluation, our tobacco grant officer will conduct retailer education throughout all established retailers in our jurisdiction.
This education is usually conducted in conjunction with minor decoy and/or undercover buys of prohibited products. The tobacco grant officer will ensure each retailer has updated case law information regarding changes of law as well as ensure compliance with STAKE act. Retail education is typically conducted prior to any enforcement acts. Any new retailer that is found out of compliance (signage, stickers, etc.) are brought up to compliance without punitive repercussions. If a retailer is found out of compliance or intentionally/unintentionally causes a violation, retail enforcement is usually conducted (Citation).
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was presented and supported by the Public Safety Subcommittee on February 4th, 2026.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The Police Department has applied for and been awarded $342,675 from the State of California Tobacco Law Enforcement Grant Program to form business partnerships, educate, and design outreach programs related to tobacco danger awareness. To be considered eligible to receive grant funding, the City must submit a completed Grant Award Memorandum of Understanding to the State of California DOJ. The Department
requests authorization to accept and appropriate the grant funds and execute the Memorandum of Understanding between the City and the Department of Justice.
