Recycled Poured Rubber Surfacing
Warranty
GameTime shall determine the validity of all claims after sufficient evidence has been gathered. GameTime shall then replace, repair or make a refund for any claims validated by it. Any refund, credit or allowance provided to the Owner on a warranty claim is exercisable only if said allowance is used to accommodate replacement with a GT Impax recycled poured rubber surface.
Any dispute as to whether and to what extent there is a GT Impax recycled poured rubber surfacing failure and a subsequent valid warranty claim within the meaning of this warranty shall be initially dealt with by joint investigation and discussion between GameTime and owner in order to achieve a mutually agreeable solution. If such a solution cannot be reached within thirty (30) days, then either the Owner of GameTime shall submit the matter to an arbitrator who is a member of the American Arbitration Association and who shall make a determination in accordance with the rules and regulation of said American Arbitration Association. The decision of said arbitrator shall be binding on both parties.
This limited warranty is exclusive of the underlying material (e.g. existing surface, existing or new asphalt, concrete, base, sub -base or sub -grade). If the underlying material fails for any reason whatsoever (including hydrostatic pressure, cracking, shifting, heaving), then GameTime warranty shall be rendered invalid. If the underlying material is concrete, a "curing agent" is NOT allowed, as it will probably cause delamination of the GT Impax recycled poured rubber.
Additionally, there is no warranty against surface cracking along expansion joints and underlying cracks, or separating from an adjacent border, curb or walkway. This limited warranty does not include discoloration as a result of ultraviolet rays, unapproved cleaning materials or vandalism. WARNING: Surface temperatures can prove dangerous under warm weather conditions. Shoes and/or socks must be worn during warm weather conditions.
Owner agrees that it will not, under any circumstances, make alterations to the GT Impax recycled poured rubber surface without the written authorization of GameTime. Any unauthorized alteration by the Owner shall result in the immediate termination of all warranties for the GT Impax recycled poured rubber surfacing and shall also give rise to the duty of the Owner to hold harmless, defend and indemnify GameTime from any claim, suit or cause of action, personal injury, death, or property damage arising out of or related to said alteration.
This limited warranty is expressly made in lieu of any other warranties and is exclusive to the original Owner. Owner acknowledges that the limited warranty will be voided if the Owner fails to follow the GameTime Maintenance Guidelines provided by GameTime. Owner agrees that in no event shall GameTime have any liability to Owner for loss of use or loss of profits or any form of consequential damages. NOTE: The following chemicals can cause potential damage to the GT Impax recycled poured rubber and should be avoided: disinfectants, concentrated bleach, gasoline, diesel, hydraulic and lubricating oils, weak acids and organic solvents.
If the contract price is not paid in a timely manner as per the terms and conditions of the agreed contract, the limited warranty is automatically voided. Any damages to the surface during the curing period will be repaired or paid for at the Owner's expense. This limited warranty does not lessen or eliminate any other contractual obligation of Owner to GameTime.

PLACENTIA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: October 15, 2024
Submitted by: Jennifer Lampman
From: Finance
Subject:
Update to Policy No. 344 Governing Travel and Meeting Allowances Financial Impact:
Fiscal Impact: None
Summary:
It is necessary for the City's elected, appointed officials and employees to be well informed regarding current developments in local government. Relevant training, conferences, meetings sponsored by local government associations, professional societies, training specialists, universities and colleges, provide such information. City Officials are encouraged to attend and participate in conferences, meetings, etc., dealing with subject matter appropriate to their respective functions in the City government. Funding for staff development is included in the annual budget for this purpose.
Policy No. 344 was last updated in 2023 and needs minor updating to incorporate requirements of AB1234 that were not included in the last update. Staff presented a draft version of the policy at a study session on October 1, 2024 and was directed by City Council to the bring the policy back for approval without changes.
Recommendation:
Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the proposed updates to Policy No. 344 governing Travel and Meeting Allowances for city staff and elected officials.
Strategic Plan Statement:
This item is consistent with the City Council approved 5 -Year Strategic Goal # 7: Enhance Employee Development, specifically Objective 7.2, Enhance Training and Development Opportunities for Staff.
Discussion:
The City's elected and appointed officials and employees must remain informed and up to date on legislation and industry trends potentially impacting the City as well as advocate for the economic interests of the City whenever possible. To do so, it is often necessary to attend training and conferences at too great a distance from the City of Placentia for an individual to travel to/ from within their regular workday.
349
The current travel policy, No. 344 was last updated in 2023 and outlines the guidelines city staff and elected officials should follow when traveling on behalf of the City including:
• Who is covered by the policy (Elected and Appointed Officials and all city staff) • What travel or training related expenses will be reimbursed by the City • What expenses are unauthorized
• Process for acquiring advanced approval for travel
• Use of U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) per diem and mileage reimbursement rates for the specific travel destination
• Preferred method of payment for travel expenses
Staff is recommending small changes to the existing policy to clarify the process for per diem reimbursement, specifically requirements of AB1234 requiring receipts for all expenses, including meals, for elected officials even when they fall within the per diem.
The City Council reviewed and discussed the proposed changes at a study session on October 1, 2024 and directed staff to bring the final policy back to the City Council for approval without changes.
Fiscal Impact Summary:
There is no fiscal impact for the recommended action.

Hotel and motel charges shall be based on single occupancy rates. The City will not pay for or reimburse employees for lodging expenses incurred for additional guests. In instances where conference hotels are filled, the employee should attempt to secure comparable rates at the nearest hotel.
Pre -conference lodging will be allowed for travel requiring extensive travel time and must be identified in the travel request, supported by a copy of the conference schedule and approved by the department head and/or City Administrator. Note: the starting time used for determining the need for pre -conference lodging refers to the starting time for the actual conference, not registration or optional tours or conference sponsored events unless related to professional development and approved by the department head and/or City Administrator in advance.
Lodging will be allowed for travel if the following conditions are met:
• The length of the conference is more than one day, extensive travel time is required, or the distance is more than 100 miles from City Hall or the employee's residence, whichever is more; or
• If the employee's presence is required for activities before or after the regular conference hours.
Lodging will be paid at actual cost but may not exceed the maximum group rate published by the conference or activity sponsor provided that rooms at the group rate are available at the time of booking. If a group rate is not available at a conference hotel, employees shall book lodging at comparable accommodations (similar hotel star rating). When making lodging reservations, employees shall inquire about government/ group rates and local exemptions for transient occupancy taxes (TOT) as some cities exempt travelers from the local tax when traveling on City government business.
3. REGISTRATION
Registration fees for a conference or seminar will be paid directly by the City at actual cost. Early registration is encouraged whenever possible to take advantage of early registration discounts. Official literature indicating the cost of registration and conference/ seminar dates must accompany the travel and meeting request form requesting approval and/or payment as well as the City credit card statement containing the expense.
4. TRANSPORTATION
Transportation will be paid at actual cost, with use of air, train, private car or bus selected on the basis of the most reasonable and appropriate method, taking into consideration distance, time and total costs to the City. Government or group rates shall be used whenever possible. When traveling by air, all flights shall be booked at coach class or an equivalent level. Upon a showing of great need or lack of other airline jet service, the City Administrator may authorize a more expensive fare. Elected Officials and the City

Administrator may book flexible fare flights that allow for flight changes without additional costs, even when flexible fares are more expensive.
Airline tickets shall be paid directly by the City, either by check or City credit card. In some circumstances, an employee may use their personal credit card and submit a reimbursement request. If an employee has been issued a City credit card but chooses to use his or her personal credit card, reimbursement will be made with proper documentation after attendance at the conference, seminar or meeting. If an employee does not have a City issued credit card and uses their personal credit card for the purchase of airline tickets, they may receive payment with proper documentation prior to attendance of the conference. If the airline tickets are not used, it is the employee's responsibility to reimburse the City within five (5) calendar days of notification of cancellation.
When rental vehicles or ride -sharing services are used, the least expensive vehicle practical will be used. In cases where more than one employee is attending the same event, employees will normally be expected to travel together when feasible and share the rental vehicle.
5. PER DIEM
The per diem is a daily allowance that covers the cost of all meals and incidental living expenses after arriving at the destination. Itemization of individual expenses covered by the per diem is not required for City staff. Elected officials must collect and submit receipts for all expenses, including meals covered by the per diem, in compliance with AB1234.
The per diem amount shall be the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) per diem rate for the travel destination and is the same for all employees and elected officials regardless of payment method.
Meal Allowance: For City staff, receipts are not required if you stay within current GSA per diem regulations. Elected officials must collect and submit receipts for all meals, even when covered by per diem, in compliance with AB1234. Receipts are required to substantiate expenses over the current GSA per diem regulation. While discouraged, under special circumstances employees may receive a meal allowance in excess of GSA per diem regulations and will be reimbursed upon recommendation of their department head and approval of the City Administrator. Nothing shall prevent the City Administrator from hosting meals for dignitaries or other parties when it serves a legitimate governmental purpose, provided it is approved in advance by the Mayor or a majority of the City Council. In unusual circumstances where the Mayor's pre -approval cannot be obtained, the City Administrator may still host the event but shall be required to notify the Mayor in writing within twenty-four (24) hours of the meal, its purpose, and its benefits to the City.
In calculating the meal allowance for partial days, the following guidelines should be used:

6. MILEAGE — USE OF PERSONAL AUTO
Within a radius of fifty (50) air miles, personal automobile or City vehicle may be used.
If personal automobile is used, mileage reimbursement will be made at the current rate set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for actual business mileage traveled. Beyond the fifty (50) air mile radius, personal automobile or City vehicle may be used only with the advance written permission of the City Administrator upon a showing that the interests of the City are best served thereby. Employees may be reimbursed for parking costs and incidental toll charges if it's determined the toll road is the most advantageous route in either cost (mileage) or time -savings. Receipts for parking and toll charges are required for reimbursement. The City will reimburse employees for base toll fare only.
Any fines or penalties charged by a toll road agency due to late payments will be the responsibility of the employee.
In cases where more than one employee is attending the same event, employees will normally be expected to travel together when feasible and mileage reimbursement will be for one vehicle only.
This mileage allowance applies to authorized use of an employee's personal vehicle while on duty. Employees receiving monthly auto allowances may not receive mileage reimbursement in addition to the monthly allowance. The City will not reimburse employees for damage to a personal vehicle or maintenance costs resulting from the use of a personal vehicle for City related travel.
If the travel occurs on a workday, and an employee travels directly from their residence to the conference site, an employee shall only be reimbursed up to the total miles between the employee's residence and the conference site, or the employee's work site and the

Optional tours, banquets or other activities not related towards professional development offered through the conference, but as an additional cost to registration, are solely at the discretion of the employee and will be considered as a personal expense. The department head and/or City Administrator shall determine what constitutes professional development. • Political or charitable contributions or events unless it is to a 501(c)(6) Business League, Chamber of Commerce are unauthorized expenses.
• A local elected official purchasing meals for third parties, such as constituents, legislators, and private business owners at meetings held to conduct City related business is an unauthorized expense.

8.3 Disputes. In the event either party fails to perform its obligations hereunder, the nondefaulting party shall provide the defaulting party written notice of such default. The defaulting party shall have ten (10) days to cure the default; provided that, if the default is not reasonably susceptible to being cured within said ten (10) day period, the defaulting party shall have a reasonable time to cure the default, not to exceed a maximum of thirty (30) days, so long as the defaulting party commences to cure such default within ten (10) days of service of such notice and diligently prosecutes the cure to completion; provided further that if the default is an immediate danger to the health, safety and general welfare, the defaulting party shall take such immediate action as may be necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the nondefaulting party may, in its sole and absolute discretion, grant a longer cure period. Should the defaulting party fail to cure the default within the time period provided in this Section, the nondefaulting party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights the nondefaulting party may have at law or in equity, to terminate this Agreement.
Compliance with the provisions of this Section 8.3 shall be a condition precedent to bringing any legal action, and such compliance shall not be a waiver of any party's right to take legal action in the event that the dispute is not cured.
8.4 Retention of Funds. Progress payments shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2 of this Agreement. In accordance with said section, City shall pay Contractor a sum based upon ninety-five percent (95%) of the contract price apportionment of the labor and materials incorporated into the work under the contract during the month covered by said statement.

A party's consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the party's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the other party's consent to or approval of any 11 371
Project No. 7210 and 7504
subsequent act. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement.
8.8 Liquidated Damages.
