CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
September 15, 2026
Community and Economic Development
TITLE: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ISSUANCE BY THE CALIFORNIA
STATEWIDE COMMUNITIES DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF EXEMPT
FACILITY BONDS FOR ANTON HACIENDA APARTMENTS
SUMMARY
Hacienda Pleasanton, L.P. (Borrower) has requested that the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) serve as the municipal issuer of tax-exempt multi-family housing revenue bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $36,900,000 (Bonds), for Anton Hacienda Apartments (the Property), a 168-unit mixed-income multifamily rental housing community located at 5729 West Las Positas Boulevard in Pleasanton. The Bond proceeds will enable the Borrower to refinance the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Property.
BACKGROUND
CSCDA is a joint powers authority sponsored by the League of California Cities (League) and the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) to enable local government and eligible private entities access to low-cost, tax-exempt financing for projects that provide a tangible public benefit, contribute to social and economic growth, and improve the overall quality of life in local communities throughout California. CSCDA comprises more than 530 members, including the City of Pleasanton, which has been a member since 1995.
The Property was constructed in 2015, and under the Affordable Housing Agreement (AHA) between Hacienda Pleasanton, L.P. and the City, 35 units (21 percent) are restricted to households earning 50 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). To finance the development of the Property, CSCDA issued $40,000,000 tax-exempt multi-family housing revenue bonds in October 2013 after the City held a Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) hearing, pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, to receive public comment and request the Pleasanton City Council, as the "applicable elected representatives" of the jurisdiction in which the project is located, approve the project's Bond financing.
DISCUSSION
Hacienda Pleasanton, L.P., is now requesting issuance of new tax-exempt facility and refunding bonds for the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Property, which requires a similar TEFRA hearing for the City Council to authorize issuance of the bonds. Pursuant to the requirements of Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, a virtual public hearing was held by CSCDA on August 27, 2026. No comments were received from the public at the hearing.
The proposed refunding Bonds will be fixed-rate, credit-enhanced for 10 years by Fannie Mae.
The refunding and reissuance of the Bonds provides the Borrower an interest rate that is approximately 1% lower than with taxable financing. The affordability restrictions on Anton Hacienda will remain in perpetuity.
Adoption of the resolution is solely for the purposes of satisfying the requirements of TEFRA, the Internal Revenue Code and the California Government Code Section 6500 (et. seq.).
OUTREACH
A Notice of Public Hearing for the TEFRA Hearing conducted by CSCDA on August 27, 2026 was published in the locally circulated newspaper Tri-Valley Herald on August 13, 2026. There were no comments from the public at that virtual hearing.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City from this action. The Bonds will be issued as limited obligations of CSCDA, payable solely from revenues and receipts derived from a loan to be made by CSCDA to the Borrower with Bond proceeds. The City bears no liability with respect to the issuance of the Bonds. The City is not a party to any financing documents related to the Bond issuance and is not named in any disclosure documents describing the Bonds or the proposed financing.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the resolution approving the issuance of exempt facility Bonds by the California Statewide Communities Development Authority not to exceed $36,900,000, for the benefit of Hacienda Pleasanton, L.P., to refinance the acquisition, rehabilitation, improvement, and equipping of Anton Hacienda Apartments.

WHEREAS, Hacienda Pleasanton L.P., a California limited partnership or a partnership of which St. Anton Capital, LLC (the “Developer”) or a related person to the Developer is the general partner, has requested that the Authority adopt a plan of financing providing for the issuance of exempt facility bonds for a qualified residential rental project pursuant to Section 142(a)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) in one or more series issued from time to time, including bonds issued to refund such exempt facility bonds in one or more series from time to time, and at no time to exceed $36,900,000 in outstanding aggregate principal amount (the “Bonds”), to finance or refinance the acquisition, construction and development of a multifamily rental housing project located at 5729 West Las Positas Boulevard, Pleasanton, California (the “Project”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Code, prior to their issuance, the Bonds are required to be approved by the “applicable elected representative” of the governmental units on whose behalf such bonds are expected to be issued and by a governmental unit having jurisdiction over the entire area in which any facility financed by such bonds is to be located, after a public hearing held following reasonable public notice; and

WHEREAS, the Authority is also requesting that the City Council approve the issuance of any refunding bonds hereafter issued by the Authority for the purpose of refinancing the Bonds which financed the Project (the “Refunding Bonds”), but only in such cases where federal tax laws would not require additional consideration or approval by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, it is intended that this resolution shall constitute the approval of the issuance of the Bonds required by Section 147(f) of the Code and Section 9 of the Agreement.

TITLE: RECEIVE INFORMATION REGARDING THE SUBMITTAL OF AN APPLICATION TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR A TOTAL OF $2,652,016 IN FUNDING FROM THE ADVANCED TRANSPORTATION
TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION (ATTAIN) COMPETITIVE GRANT FOR THE
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE BERNAL AVENUE ADVANCED
TRANSPORTATION AND TECHNOLOGY PROJECT
SUMMARY
The U.S. Department of Transportation (US DOT) issued a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Advanced Transportation Technology and Innovation (ATTAIN) competitive grant on June 26, 2026, with applications due on August 11, 2026. To meet the application deadline, on August 10, 2026, staff submitted a grant application on behalf of the City, requesting $2,652,016 for design and construction of the Bernal Avenue Advanced Transportation and Technology Project. Staff requests the City Council formally authorize the grant application, in accordance with City procedures.
BACKGROUND
The ATTAIN grant program was created to fund the deployment and operation of advanced- technology transportation projects, and exists to:
• Boost Safety: Cut down on traffic crashes, injuries, and deaths using smart tech. • Reduce Congestion: Improve travel times and traffic flow through real-time data. • Advance Innovation: Help local and State agencies maximize efficiency of the surface transportation system.
The program, administered by the Federal Highway Administration, has a maximum funding allocation of $120 million. Grant recipients are required to contribute a minimum non-Federal local match of 20 percent. The US DOT anticipates announcing award selections the week of September 30, 2026.
Due to the summer recess and short timeline between issuance of the NOFO and grant submittal deadline, staff was unable to bring the request to authorize grant submittal to City Council before the August 11 deadline. Details of the application and the authorization request are being provided here in accordance with City procedures.
DISCUSSION
The ATTAIN grant program aligns with the current administration’s transportation priorities, mainly:
• Rebuilding national infrastructure
• Achieving passenger safety
• Supporting economic competitiveness
• Reducing congestion
• Promoting innovation and reinvesting in the American family
The grant program identifies 14 project types eligible for funding, including new technologies, smart congestion-management hardware, and vehicle-to-everything technology. Of these, the City's proposed project meets four project types identified in the ATTAIN Grant:
• Advanced transportation management technologies
• Infrastructure maintenance, monitoring, and condition assessment • Transportation system performance data collection, analysis, and dissemination systems
• Integrated corridor management systems
Proposed Grant-Funded Project
The Bernal Avenue Advanced Transportation and Technology Project meets the above project types by adding the following technologies at 10 intersections between Foothill Road and First Street/Sunol Boulevard/Bernal Avenue, and at Valley Avenue at Fairgrounds Gate 12:
• AI-enabled adaptive traffic signal technology
• New fiber optic communications
• New advanced traffic controllers
Bernal Avenue experiences frequent, variable travel demand driven by regional congestion, school traffic, and Alameda County Fairgrounds events. The proposed improvements will support more responsive signal operations by upgrading communications infrastructure and by replacing aging traffic signal controllers, closing existing gaps and providing reliable, continuous connectivity between field equipment and the City's Traffic Operations Center for real-time signal timing adjustments. AI-enabled processing at individual intersections and within the central signal management system will also let signal timing respond dynamically to prevailing conditions.
OUTREACH
The Citywide Signal Upgrades Project is identified in the recently-adopted Pleasanton Transportation Safety Action Plan (PTSAP) and includes fiber installation, modernization of aging traffic signal technology, and implementation of adaptive signal timing technology – all components of the proposed project.
A total of 16 outreach meetings were conducted for the PTSAP prior to its adoption by City Council on May 19, 2026 including stakeholder, community, and citywide meetings with civic organizations.
FISCAL IMPACT
As outlined below, the submitted application was for $2,652,016, with a 20 percent local match
($530,403) required

Finance
TITLE: ACCEPT THE MONTHLY DISBURSEMENTS AND INVESTMENTS REPORT FOR JULY 2026
SUMMARY
The City of Pleasanton monthly disbursements and investment report for July 2026 is presented for acceptance by the City Council.
BACKGROUND
The City's Investment Policy requires the Director of Finance to submit a monthly transaction report to the City Council within 60 days of the end of the reporting period in accordance with California Government Code Section 53607.
The Policy also requires the Director of Finance to submit a quarterly report to the City Council on the status of the City's investment portfolio no later than 45 days after the end of each month. This report shall include the types of investments, the amount of money invested with various institutions, purchase and maturity dates, and yield on investments. The Director of Finance affirms that the investment portfolio complies with the investment policy and will meet cash flow needs for the next six months.
This report also includes check and electronic payment information for July 2026.
DISCUSSION
The monthly disbursements and investment report provides transparency of the City’s financial transactions and payments for review by the City Council.
The City has transitioned to a new reporting format that incorporates Chandler Asset Management's Investment Report, beginning with the report for the quarter ended March 2026. The average purchase yield (also known as book yield) indicates the annual rate at which the City is currently earning income. The average market yield indicates the average rate at which new and maturing funds are reinvested. The City uses total return to demonstrate how the portfolio has grown over time. Total return includes growth from income (including accrual), realized gains and losses as a result of a sale before maturity, and unrealized gains and losses (gains and losses on paper) as a result of changes in market value. Total return is compared to the City’s risk and performance measuring benchmark that is similar in duration to the City’s portfolio duration: ICE BofA 1-5 Year Unsubordinated US Treasury & Agency Index.
The total investment portfolio (market value) consists of $202,643,140 managed by Chandler Asset Management, and $54,422,471 invested by the City in Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and Certificates of Deposit. The average market yield of the Chandler portfolio and the City Managed Investments were 4.42% and 3.83% respectively. These figures reflect the rate
at which new and maturing funds are being reinvested.
The City’s investment portfolio for this period totaled $257,065,611 (market value) with a weighted average market yield of 4.30%. The total investment portfolio balance fluctuates throughout the year due to normal cash flow needs and includes both discretionary and restricted funds.

OUTREACH

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
September 15, 2026
Library and Recreation
TITLE: ADOPT A RESOLUTION UPDATING THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE,
APPROVING AND UPDATING VARIOUS CITY FEES AND CHARGES
SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution approving and updating various City fees and charges. Fees and charges updated through this action include:
• Section I. A. General and Administrative Fees
• Section I. D. Pleasanton Public Library Fine and Fee Schedule • Section V.B. Police Special Permits
• Section VII. Finance Department
• Section VIII. Recreation
• Section IX.A. Water Rates and Charges
BACKGROUND
California cities impose fees for providing services and activities through provisions of the State Constitution. Agencies are allowed to set fees at rates providing fair and reasonable recovery of costs incurred in providing the services, minimizing or eliminating use of general tax revenues. The City regularly reviews the Master Fee Schedule (MFS) to ensure that it is both transparent and up to date. The latest review identified several fees not listed in the MFS that need to be listed or clarified, fees that need to be adjusted to better reflect current costs and market rates, and fees that should be added.
DISCUSSION
The Resolution/Attachment 1 includes an update to fees across multiple departments.
Section I. D. Pleasanton Public Library Fine and Fee Schedule Miscellaneous fees related to rental agreement provisions and hourly fees are currently incorporated into library rentals but are not fully reflected in the MFS. As library meeting room rentals have commenced, staff have identified the need to formalize and update these miscellaneous fees to better align with current practices, improve transparency, and support responsible cost recovery.
Staff recommends revising the MFS to display the actual hourly rental rates rather than subsidy percentages for each renter group category. The previous MFS expressed these fees as a percentage subsidy scaled to the renter group category; this revision shows the corresponding hourly rates instead, providing greater transparency to renters without changing the underlying fee amounts. Staff also recommends reducing the security deposit from $200 to $100 to be consistent with other meeting room rentals in the City, and clarifying the language regarding cancellation fees. These changes apply to MFS Section I, D. Pleasanton Public
Library Fine and Fee Schedule, and are outlined in Tables 1, 2, and 3 below.

BOARD/COMMITTEE/COMMISSION ACTION
At the August 6, 2026 Library Commission meeting, the commission voted unanimously to recommend City Council adopt a resolution updating the Master Fee Schedule, Section I, D.
Pleasanton Public Library Fine and Fee Schedule as described above and included in Attachment 1.
Meeting Room Rental Cancellation Fees30 days or more prior to the scheduled date50% of the total hourly rental feesLess than 30 days prior to the scheduled date100% of the total hourly rental fees
Meeting Room Rental Cancellation Fees
30 days or more prior to the scheduled date 50% of the total hourly rental fees Less than 30 days prior to the scheduled date 100% of the total hourly rental fees
Section V.B. Police Special Permits
Lions Wayside and Delucchi parks are in the heart of Downtown Pleasanton. With the recent renovations, staff has received an increase in requests to use these parks and the bandstand for special events. Use of these parks for organized events currently requires a special event permit, but no fees have been established. To develop fees for the rental of these parks for special events, staff reviewed hourly staff rates for facility monitors (Recreation Leader III), general maintenance costs for the City's parks (based on the 2024 fee study conducted by NBS), and comparable rental fees for outdoor spaces throughout the City, such as picnic and field rentals. Comparable data was challenging to obtain for this particular space due to its unique layout and amenities.
The currently approved General Fund (GF) subsidy categories were also mirrored in this recommendation. Category I includes PUSD and co-sponsored user groups and provides a 40 percent GF subsidy; Category II includes non-profit organizations and provides a 30 percent GF subsidy; Category III includes Pleasanton residents for private use and includes a 20 percent GF subsidy; and Category IV includes non-residents and businesses, and provides no GF subsidy. No GF subsidy is recommended for the bandstand.
A security deposit is recommended in case of damage. The deposit is refundable after the event if no damage occurs.

These rates are for the park and facility rental only. Special event fees are calculated through the special event permit process, based on the adopted MFS - "Actual Cost Basis (actual costs, including direct costs)." The GF subsidy categories also apply to special event fees.
Casual, everyday use of the parks will continue to require no permit or fee.
BOARD/COMMITTEE/COMMISSION ACTION
At the August 13, 2026, Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, the commission voted
unanimously to recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution updating the MSF to include rental fees for Lions Wayside and Delucchi parks as outlined above and included in Attachment 1.
Section VIII. Recreation
The recommendations for Recreation fees fall into two categories. The first is administrative housekeeping: fees residents are already paying that were never formally captured in the MFS. The second category involves genuine changes — new fees, fee restructuring, or rate increases — most of which are grounded in benchmark surveys of comparable agencies or a need to clarify existing refund and cancellation practices. Details are included in Attachment 2.
Existing Fees Not Currently Listed in the MFS
This section covers fees the Library and Recreation Department already charges — most adopted informally by past practice or by standalone Council resolution — that were simply never incorporated into the MFS document itself. No rate changes are proposed for the large majority of these; the recommendation is to formalize the current fees. Because these are administrative corrections rather than fee increases, the resident-facing and fiscal impacts are minimal, though they do close a compliance gap by aligning the official fee document with actual billing practices.
Fee areas included:
• Community Garden Fees
• Augustin Bernal Non-Resident Pass
• Park/Picnic Rental Security Deposit
• Meeting Room Rental Security Deposit
• Event Venue Rental Security Deposits
• Athletic Facility Fees
• Facility Add-On Fees
Staff fees are recommended to be charged on an actual-cost basis across all program areas to reflect the current practice.
New and Updated Fees
This section reflects new fees, restructured fee categories, and rate increases.
Areas included:
• Main Street Banner Reservations
• Refund Processing Fee
• Meeting Room and Event Venue Cancellation Fees
• Outdoor Volleyball Courts
• Bocce Courts and Outdoor Skating Rink
• Dolores Bengston Aquatic Center Rentals
• Muirwood Pickleball Court Reservation Fees (described in more detail in agenda report item #10)
Additionally, the Recreation Section has been reformatted for improved transparency and readability.
BOARD/COMMITTEE/COMMISSION ACTION
At the August 3, 2026 Civic Arts Commission meeting, the commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution updating the MFS, Section VIII.
Recreation to include an add-on fee for a Drumkit Mic Set, and update the security deposit language for the Firehouse Arts Center and the Firehouse Arts Center classrooms, as included in Attachment 1.
At the August 13, 2026 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, the commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution updating the MFS, Section VIII. Recreation, as included in Attachment 1.
Section I. A. General and Administrative Fees and Section IX.A. Water Rates and Charges Under California Civil Code Section 1719, payees may charge $25 for a returned check on the first occurrence and $35 for each subsequent occurrence. The City's master fee schedule includes only the $25 returned check fee. While additional occurrences are infrequent, staff recommend adding the $35 fee to the master fee schedule to recover costs if they occur.
Public agencies may recover the administrative or bank processing fees incurred when a vendor requests a stop payment on a paper check or an electronic funds transfer. Staff recommend adding a stop payment service charge to the master fee schedule based on the actual cost of the bank charge. These proposed fees will be added to Sections I.A. and IX.A. of the master fee schedule once approved by the Council.
Table 5. Returned Check and Stop Payment Fees
Section VII. Finance Department
The current initial set-up fee for an assessment district is $1,500 per district. Staff recommend changing the fee to actual costs, with an initial deposit of $5,000. The fee description is also updated to include annexation-related assessment districts. The title of the fee section will be changed from "Arbitrage Calculation Fees" to "Assessment District Administration and Arbitrage Calculation Fees" for improved transparency. The current foreclosure action fee, which covers staffing costs and the costs of obtaining the title report/insurance policy as part of the legal enforcement process, is $2,000. Staff recommend changing the fee to actual costs. While these transactions are infrequent, the proposed fees will allow the City to recover the full cost and better manage cash flow.

TITLE: APPROVE THE CIVIC ARTS COMMISSION'S WORKPLAN PRIORITIES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026/27
SUMMARY
The Civic Arts Commission's duties include developing a commission work plan to be presented to the City Council for consideration. The recommendation from the Commission for Fiscal Year 2026/27 is presented in this report.
BACKGROUND
At their April and June 2026 meetings, the Civic Arts Commission discussed their workplan for Fiscal Year 2026/27, based on the ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan goals within the purview of the Commission and the specific duties of the Commission, including:

3. Building a Community Where Everyone Belongs Strategies 1 and 3 — increasing equitable access to City programs and implementing high-priority items from the Library and Recreation Strategic Plan
4. Optimizing Our Organization Strategy 4 — evaluating the organization's structure of community engagement opportunities, such as commissions and committees, to improve information sharing and provide greater service to the community.
The Civic Arts Commission workplan items should focus attention on those areas stated in PMC Section 2.39.020 to be within the duties of the Commission. The duties of the Pleasanton Civic Arts Commission shall include the following:

Efforts will focus on research, planning, and development of tools and recommendations to support future implementation.
3. Public Art Stewardship
(Commission Duty 7 / ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan Goals: Building a Community Where Everyone Belongs, Strategy 3, Funding Our Future, Strategy 1, Investing in Our Environment, Strategy 7, and Optimizing Our Organization, Strategy 4)
This item will include support for a volunteer-based program focused on basic cleaning and maintenance of public art, including implementing a pilot program, developing guidelines and protocols, identifying priority artworks, and providing training for commissioners.
4. Civic Arts Outreach and Community Engagement

TITLE: APPROVE A RESERVATION SYSTEM FOR MUIRWOOD COMMUNITY PARK
PICKLEBALL COURTS
SUMMARY
At the June 11th Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, the commission voted to agendize a reservation process for the pickleball courts at Muirwood and Stoneridge Creek parks. Staff researched and brought back two options for the commission's consideration on August 13, 2026. The commission recommended moving forward with a paid reservation system for three of the six pickleball courts at Muirwood Community Park, prioritizing residents.
BACKGROUND
Staff reviewed the following cities and captured their information regarding pickleball court reservations and fees:

These models were used to develop two options for Parks and Recreation Commission review.
One option included fees for both residents and non-residents. The other included fees only for non-residents. Both options allowed residents to book a reservation seven days in advance, and non-residents five days in advance. Both included reservations for only three of the six Muirwood pickleball courts, with the other three remaining free and first-come, first-served.
DISCUSSION
BOARD/COMMITTEE/COMMISSION ACTION
At their August 13, 2026 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Commission unanimously recommended implementing a reservation system for three of the six pickleball courts at Muirwood Community Park, with a fee for residents at $6.00 and non-residents at $7.50 per hour.*
*Note, the fee approval for the pickleball courts is included in Agenda Item #8. This item reflects only the reservation process.
Reservation Process:
• Residents can reserve seven days in advance
• Non-residents can reserve five days in advance
• Reservations are non-refundable
• Reservations can be made via a computer, a mobile device, or by calling the recreation office
• Each account can reserve one court for one hour per day • Standard pickleball court rules would continue to apply, including players self- regulating and adhering to the reservation system.
Available Reservation Slots:
• Three courts at Muirwood would move into a reservation system, and three would remain available for free play on a first-come, first-served basis. Staff anticipate approximately 700 reserved spots per month, averaging for seasonal daylight changes.
OUTREACH
This item was heard at the August 13, 2026, Parks and Recreation Commission meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with implementing a reservation system. Adoption of the updated Master Fee Schedule related to this item is expected to generate approximately $30,000 annually.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve a reservation system for Muirwood Community Park Pickleball Courts.

TITLE: ADOPT A MEMORIAL BENCH POLICY
SUMMARY
Staff receives regular inquiries from the community about the opportunity for memorial benches in our parks and trails. The proposed Memorial Bench Donation Policy establishes guidelines, standards, and procedures for the installation and care of memorial benches donated to the City of Pleasanton to manage aesthetic impacts, mitigate ongoing maintenance costs, and identify available locations within City parks and trails.
BACKGROUND
Currently, the City does not have a standard process for the purchase and installation of Memorial Benches. This is done one by one. The draft policy (Attachment 1), was reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Commission on August 13, 2026.

At the August 13, 2026 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, the commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council adopt the proposed Memorial Bench Policy (Attachment 1).
DISCUSSION
Adopting a policy allows for a more efficient and customer-friendly approach to memorial benches within the City. By identifying locations, benches, and costs, the process is streamlined and more user-friendly.
The proposed fee of $5,000 covers all costs associated with the purchase, installation, and maintenance of the bench for 15 years.
OUTREACH
No outreach was conducted for this item.
FISCAL IMPACT
It is anticipated that the revenue generated by the $5,000 fee will offset the expenses associated with this program.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Memorial Bench Policy.

Notification: These criteria apply to both existing and new donations. It is the responsibility of the donor to provide the Library and Recreation Department with a current mailing address for notification purposes. The City will attempt to send a certified letter to the donor notifying them of changes related to the status of their donation, including any need to remove, relocate, or comply with conditions of this policy.

7. CONDITIONS
Installation: Installation of donated memorial benches, including donor acknowledgement plaques, will be completed by the City at a time and date determined by the City staff so as not to unnecessarily interfere with routine park maintenance activities.

Item #12
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
September 15, 2026
Library and Recreation
TITLE: ADOPT A COMMUNITY SPECIAL EVENT SUPPORT POLICY
SUMMARY
The proposed Community Special Event Support Policy (Attachment 1) establishes a transparent and equitable framework for how the City of Pleasanton evaluates and provides support to community organizations presenting special events that benefit Pleasanton residents. The Policy formalizes existing practices, introduces tiered support categories, and strengthens accountability through application requirements, written agreements, and post- event reporting.
BACKGROUND
The City currently coordinates 22 special events annually that require street closures or parking restrictions. The total number of special events held in the city last year was 59.
Attachment 2 describes each of these events and includes the relevant Category each event would fall under within the proposed policy.
While City support for community events has been provided consistently, there has not been a comprehensive policy governing how that support is requested, evaluated, or awarded.
Existing practices have developed organically over time through various organizational agreements, facility use agreements, and annual budget deliberations. As demand for City support has grown and the nature of requests has expanded to include marketing, social media promotion, brand use, and staffing, staff has identified the need for a clear Council- adopted policy.
Staff undertook a review of peer agency policies and conducted an internal review of current practices. The resulting draft policy was presented to the City Council at the September 1, 2026 City Council meeting. Sections 7 and 9 were updated based on City Council feedback to make the application window more flexible and to specify reporting windows for events within a series.
Original Language for Section 7A:
"All Event Organizers must submit a Special Event Application annually between October 1 and 31 of each year for events in the following calendar year. Category 2 (City-Partnered) support applications received after the deadline must wait for the following year’s approval cycle. Category 3 (City-Assisted) applications may be considered outside the application window, subject to the discretion of the Special Events Committee. Applications are available at: https://www.cityofpleasantonca.gov/your-community/community-support/#special-event."
Updated Language for Section 7A:
"Special Event Applications submitted annually between October 1 and 31 of each year for events in the following calendar year will receive special priority. Applications received outside this window may be considered. Applications are available at:
https://www.cityofpleasantonca.gov/your-community/community-support/#special-event."
Original Language for Section 9:
"Event Organizers receiving City support in Category 2 shall submit a Post-Event Report to the Special Events Team within 30 days of the event."
Updated Language for Section 9:
"Event Organizers receiving City support in Category 2 shall submit a Post-Event Report to the Special Events Team within 30 days of the event or the final event in a series."
DISCUSSION
Policy Purpose
The Community Special Events Support Policy establishes a consistent, equitable, and transparent process for City support of special events presented by community organizations.
The Policy applies to support requests submitted through the Community Special Event application process. It governs City support in the form of in-kind services, facility access, staff assistance, and marketing support. It does not supersede existing adopted City policies or individual facility use agreements.
Tiered Support Structure
The Policy organizes City events and support into three categories, modeled on best practices from peer agencies:
Table 1. Special Event Categories
Category Description Support Available Approval
Category 1:
City Events
Organized, funded,
and managed solely
by the City. Not
governed by this
Policy. Example:
Hometown Holiday.
All City resources City Manager/City
Council (funded
through the budget
process)
Category 2:
City-
Partnered
Events
Hosted by outside
organizations with a
substantial City
contribution. It
includes events
requiring street
closures, significant in-
kind or financial
support, or revenue
sharing. Example.
Annual Veteran's Day
Parade.
In-Kind support City Council (annual)
Category 3:
City-Assisted
Events
Hosted by outside
organizations with
limited City assistance,
which may include
General Fund subsidy
based on the approved
Master Fee Schedule
Special Events
Committee
minimal financial
support, promotional
support, or facility use.
Example. Rotary
Halloween Spirit Run.
Eligibility and Application
Organizations eligible for support include local nonprofits (IRS 501(c)(3), (c)(4), or (c)(6)), registered civic and community organizations, neighborhood associations, service clubs, educational institutions, and veterans' organizations. For-profit organizations may apply only when an event is demonstrably charitable in nature.
Applications are accepted annually from October 1–31 for the following calendar year through the Community Special Event Support Application. Events that do not meet the minimum eligibility requirements — including private events, politically affiliated events, events primarily serving non-residents, or events in conflict with City policies — are ineligible.
Accountability and Reporting
All approved support arrangements will be documented through a written agreement. Event organizers receiving City support must submit a post-event report within 30 days, including attendance data, a description of how the support was utilized, a community benefit summary, and documentation of any incidents. Organizations that fail to submit required reports will be ineligible for future support.
Existing Events and Transition
Adoption of this Policy is intended to formalize and provide clarity for applicants and a consistent framework for the events the City already supports. It is not intended to significantly alter existing partnerships. Staff will work with current event organizers to bring existing agreements into alignment with the Policy. The special event application process will continue to operate in conjunction with this Policy.
OUTREACH
This item was discussed in an open meeting at the September 1, 2026 City Council meeting and staff made adjustments to the policy based on Council feedback.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impacts of the annual support requests will vary and will be presented to the City Council for review.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Community Special Event Support Policy.

Policy: City Support of Community Special Events
1. PURPOSE
Community Special Events and programs enhance residents' quality of life, promote civic engagement, celebrate local culture, and further the City's core values.
This Policy applies to support requests submitted through the Special Event application process. The Event Organizer (special event applicant) is typically responsible for fees associated with a Community Special Event, which could include application and permit fees as well as the actual cost of any required City service (Police, Fire, Public Works, etc.). In certain cases, the City may provide resources in the form of in-kind services, including: facility access, staff assistance, and/or marketing support.
This Policy establishes a transparent and equitable framework for the City's support of special events, ensuring that Event Organizers have clarity on process and public resources are directed toward events that provide meaningful community benefit and align with City goals.
This Policy does not supersede existing adopted City policies or agreements.
Community events and/or support approved by the City are not intended to create public forums for general speech and/or public expression.
2. GUIDING PRINCIPLES
All City support decisions shall be guided by the following principles:
• Community Benefit: Events must provide a clear, direct benefit to Pleasanton residents. • Equity & Access: Priority is given to events that are open and accessible to the broader community, including underserved populations.
• Alignment with City Values and Goals: Events should reflect the City's commitment to inclusion, cultural enrichment, and economic vitality.

CONTRACT AMENDMENTS OR ONE-YEAR CONTRACTS WITH BIGGS
CARDOSA ASSOCIATES FOR CIP 18437, VALLEY AVENUE SOUNDWALL REPAIR; WOODARD & CURRAN, INC.

FOR CIP 25504, ANNUAL SLURRY SEALING OF VARIOUS STREETS; AND WOOD RODGERS, INC. FOR ON-CALL LAND SURVEYING SERVICES; AND APPROVE
BUDGET AMENDMENTS
SUMMARY
The City relies on professional civil engineering consultants to supplement staff resources within the Public Works Department. Implementation of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and processing of subdivision maps often requires specialized skills, expertise, and availability that are not always available in-house. Historically, the City has used on-call consultants because agreements were already established and funding was available. The City has also used project-specific consultants depending on the size and scope of each task.
All professional service agreements were authorized by the City Council with established terms and maximum contract amounts. Six professional service agreements now require contract amendments or new one-year contracts to allow consultants to continue providing uninterrupted services.
BACKGROUND
A brief description of each consultant contract and .the need for a new contract or extension is provided below. Contract terms are described in more detail in the Discussion section below.
Biggs Cardosa Associates, Inc., Contract 2021348
The City Council authorized an on-call professional services agreement for structural engineering design services on January 19, 2021, through February 1, 2025. The agreement was administratively amended on January 1, 2025, to extend the term through December 31, 2025. A new one-year contract with Biggs Cardosa Associates, Inc. through December 31, 2026,, is required to complete remaining structural engineering services for the Valley Avenue Soundwall Repair Project, CIP No. 18437. The contract term will cover eligible project-related services performed and provide continued consultant support through project completion. The Valley Avenue Soundwall Repair project is currently under construction and is expected to be completed in September 2026.
Woodard & Curran, Inc., Contract 2024335
The City Council authorized a project-specific professional services agreement for the Near-
Term Water Improvements project on August 15, 2023 with a term through June 30, 2024. The City Council authorized a First Amendment on March 19, 2024, increasing the authorized contract amount and extending the term through December 31, 2025. The City Council authorized a Second Amendment on February 4, 2025, further increasing the authorized contract amount and extending the term through June 30, 2026. Staff recommends a one-year term extension through June 30, 2027, to complete the Near-Term Water Improvements project, CIPs 24171 and 24173, is currently under construction and is expected to be completed by the end of 2026. The remaining work includes installation of the booster pump station at the southwest corner of Hopyard Road and Stoneridge Drive.
Ruggeri-Jensen-Azar, Contract 2022012
The City Council authorized an on-call professional services agreement for general civil engineering design services on June 1, 2021. The maximum agreement term extended through June 30, 2026. The consultant has been providing services for the Sunol Boulevard Sewer Improvements project, CIP 26295; however, design work is ongoing. Sufficient budget is available to pay future invoices. Staff recommends a new one-year contract with Ruggeri- Jenssen-Azar to complete remaining design services for the Sunol Boulevard Sewer Improvements project, CIP 2629,, through June 30, 2027. The Sunol Boulevard Sewer Improvements project is expected to be advertised for bids in winter 2026/27, with construction expected in spring 2027.
Mark Thomas & Company, Inc., Contract 2023416
The City Council authorized a project-specific professional services agreement for design of the West Las Positas Boulevard Multimodal Reconstruction project on December 6, 2022. The original term extended through September 30, 2023. A First Amendment was approved administratively extending the term through August 1, 2024. A Second Amendment was presented to the City Council as Item 18 on July 16, 2024, increasing the authorized contract amount and extending the term through December 31, 2025. A Third Amendment was presented to the City Council as Item 12 on October 21, 2025, again increasing the authorized contract amount and extending the term through December 1, 2026. A Fourth Amendment was presented to the City Council as Item 5 on November 4, 2025, increasing the authorized contract amount but not extending the term. The project is still in design, and additional changes are needed before bids can be solicited from contractors. Therefore, an additional term extension and budget increase are needed.
Staff recommends a two-year term extension through December 1, 2028, and an increase of $556,651 to the authorized contract amount, for a total authorized contract amount of $4,552,295. The extension and budget increase are needed to value-engineer the design, and address input from adjoining property owners and utility purveyors, including Zone 7 and PG&E. The additional scope also includes the removal of the asphalt millings pile from the City’s Bernal property and placement of any suitable milling material within the reconstructed road section. Bids are expected to be solicited in winter 2026/27, with construction to begin in spring 2027.
Geocon Consultants, Inc., Contract 2024175
The City Council originally authorized an on-call professional services agreement for geotechnical engineering and materials testing services on June 20, 2023. The agreement term extended through June 30, 2026, and was administratively extended through June 30, 2027. Therefore, no term extension is needed.The authorized contract amount needs to be
increased by $9,275 to provide continued services for the Annual Slurry Sealing of Various Streets project, CIP 25504. Although the City Council accepted the project as complete on February 3, 2026, staff has identified warranty issues that require additional materials testing.
If the warranty issues are determined to be the contractor's responsibility, the City will consider seeking reimbursement of the testing costs.
Wood Rodgers, Inc., Contract 2022029
The City Council originally authorized an on-call professional services agreement for general civil engineering and land surveying services as part of Agenda Item 8 on June 1, 2021. The maximum agreement term extended through June 30, 2026. The consultant has been providing land surveying services for subdivision map review. Sufficient budget is available to pay pending invoices. No further tasks will be assigned under this contract. Staff recommends a new one-year contract with Wood Rogers, Inc. to complete outstanding on-call land surveying services and process pending invoices. The contract term will be from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, for an amount not-to-exceed $2,734.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
September 15, 2026
Public Works - Operations Division
TITLE: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR ONE VAC-CON VXPD4214LHE/1100 HYDRO- EXCAVATOR TRUCK FROM VAC-CON, INC., THROUGH THE SOURCEWELL
COOPERATIVE PURCHASING PROGRAM, FOR A TOTAL NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT OF $856,491
SUMMARY
The City's 20-Year Vehicle Replacement Plan includes the replacement of Water Division Unit No. 300, a 2016 Vac-Con Hydro-Excavator Truck. This vehicle has exceeded its anticipated service life and remains one of the Division's most critical pieces of equipment. The truck is used to support emergency water main repairs, utility locating, valve replacements, fire hydrant maintenance, leak investigations, and safe excavation around existing underground infrastructure. Replacing the vehicle will improve reliability, reduce maintenance costs, enhance operator safety, and help ensure the City can continue providing timely emergency response and maintenance for its water distribution system.
BACKGROUND
The City maintains approximately 280 miles of potable water distribution pipelines, thousands of water service connections, fire hydrants, isolation valves, pressure reducing stations, and related underground infrastructure throughout the City.
Hydro excavation has become the industry standard for safely exposing underground utilities because it significantly reduces the potential for damaging buried infrastructure while improving employee safety. Unlike conventional excavation methods, hydro excavation uses pressurized water and vacuum technology to safely remove soil without striking existing gas, electrical, communications, sewer, or water facilities.
The City's existing Unit No. 300, a 2016 Vac-Con Hydro-Excavator Truck, was purchased in 2016 and has been in service for approximately 10 years. The unit has 4,831 engine hours and 13,668 miles, with lifetime maintenance costs of $108,345, and has exceeded its anticipated replacement cycle. As Unit No. 300 has aged with frequent breakdowns and expensive repair costs, replacement parts have become more difficult to obtain, and the closest vendor-certified equipment repair center is located in Los Angeles. The new vehicle has a local service center in Hayward, CA, improving convenience and timeliness of repairs.
DISCUSSION
The new vehicle includes modern safety features, improved vacuum performance, increased reliability, enhanced fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions. These improvements will reduce maintenance costs, improve operational efficiency, and ensure dependable service for years to come.
Because hydro-excavation equipment is highly specialized, replacement units are not readily available to rent. Equipment downtime can delay emergency repairs and routine maintenance, affecting the City's ability to respond quickly to water system emergencies. Due to the size and specialized nature of the equipment, the market does not currently offer a compatible electrical option.
Replacing this vehicle is consistent with the City's approved 20-Year Vehicle Replacement Plan. The proposed purchase will be made through the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program, Contract No. 021726-VAC. Sourcewell is a nationally recognized government cooperative purchasing agency that competitively solicits and awards contracts on behalf of participating public agencies. This purchasing method complies with the City's purchasing policies while providing the City with the best overall value and an efficient procurement process.
EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
Replacing Unit No. 300 supports the City's Climate Action Plan 2.0 by investing in modern heavy-duty equipment that incorporates cleaner engine technology, reduced emissions, improved fuel efficiency, and enhanced operational performance. Hydro excavation also promotes environmental stewardship by reducing unnecessary roadway excavation, minimizing restoration impacts, decreasing construction waste, and protecting existing underground infrastructure.
OUTREACH
No additional public outreach was conducted for this purchase. Replacement of Unit No. 300 is included in the City's approved Vehicle Replacement Plan and represents the routine replacement of critical operational equipment necessary to maintain essential public services.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total not to exceed cost of $856,491 includes $744,775 to purchase the new Vac-Con Hydro-Excavator Truck plus a 15 percent contingency of $111,716. Funding for this purchase is budgeted in the Water Enterprise Fund (Account No. 42442101-440107) as part of the FY 2026/27 Vehicle Replacement Program.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to execute a purchase agreement for one Vac-Con VXPD4214LHE/1100 Hydro-Excavator Truck from Vac-Con, Inc., through the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program, for a total not-to-exceed purchase amount of $856,491.

REPRESENTATIVE SERVICES FOR THE REGIONAL GROUNDWATER
DEVELOPMENT PROJECT WITH ZONE 7
SUMMARY
On September 1, 2026, the City Council approved an agreement with Zone 7 Water Agency (Zone 7) for the design, construction, and operation of a joint Regional Groundwater Development Project. Under the agreement, Zone 7 will serve as the lead agency for Project delivery, with a target operational date of December 2029. The Project will be delivered using the Progressive Design Build (PDB) method, which allows the design team and contractor to collaborate during design development and establish a guaranteed maximum price before construction.
Zone 7 has selected Luhdorff & Scalmanini, Consulting Engineers (LSCE) for preliminary design and owner's representative services to support procurement of a PDB contractor for a cost not to exceed $2.25 million,The City’s share of these services is $810,000 and requires funding authorization by Council per the Zone 7 and City agreement.
BACKGROUND
Historically, approximately 20 to 25 percent of Pleasanton's water was provided by groundwater wells. However, in 2022, the City took these wells offline after detecting PFAS.
In 2024, the City Council approved an agreement with Zone 7 to evaluate the feasibility of a Joint Groundwater Wells Project. The feasibility study (Phase I) was completed in 2025 and identified Pleasanton Tennis and Community Park and Hansen Park as feasible locations for new groundwater wells. On April 21, 2026, the City Council directed staff to proceed with a joint project with Zone 7, and draft an agreement for Phase II (Design and Construction), and Phase III (Operations) of the new facilities. On September 1, 2026, the City Council approved an agreement with Zone 7 Water Agency (Zone 7) for the design, construction, and operation of a joint Regional Groundwater Development Project. The agreement establishes cost- sharing terms under which the City will fund 36 percent of the wells and raw groundwater pipelines and 23 percent of the Hopyard Chloramination Facility upgrades. Zone 7 will fund the remaining costs.
On August 19, 2026, the Zone 7 Board of Directors authorized its General Manager to negotiate, execute a contract with Luhdorff & Scalmanini, Consulting Engineers (LSCE), not to exceed $2.25 million, for preliminary design and owner's representative services to support procurement of a Progressive Design Build (PDB) contractor. The City’s share of these services is $810,000 and requires funding authorization by Council per the Zone 7 and City agreement.
The City’s estimated Project cost is $29.0 million, including City-funded distribution system
improvements, consistent with the Water Rate Study allowance of approximately $29 million in 2026 dollars.

Notes:
1. The City received a $1 million State Water Board grant for feasibility studies.
3. Represents the City’s cost share per the City-Zone 7 agreement.
4. Represents improvements funded solely by the City.
DISCUSSION
The Project includes new groundwater production wells at Tennis Park and Hansen Park, raw groundwater pipelines connecting the wells to Zone 7's Hopyard Chloramination Facility, and improvements to the Hopyard Chloramination Facility.
As the lead agency, Zone 7 is responsible for environmental review, permitting, procurement, design and construction, and contract administration. The Project will be delivered using the PDB method, which allows the design team and contractor to collaborate during design development and establish a guaranteed maximum price before construction.
The Zone 7 Board authorized negotiation and execution of a contract with LSCE for Phase II preliminary design and owner's representative services to support PDB procurement. Staff reviewed Zone 7’s not-to exceed estimate and determined that the City’s share of $810,000, is appropriate.
While Zone 7, as the lead agency, retains authority over technical and operational decisions affecting the groundwater system, the agreement requires coordination with the City on Project features affecting City property, including facility aesthetics, location, and noise.
This is the first funding authorization under the Zone 7 and City agreement. A subsequent funding authorization for the City’s share of the PDB contract is anticipated to return to the City Council near the end of calendar year 2027.
EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
This project will strengthen the community’s water resources in response to a changing climate, resulting in cost savings, enhanced water quality and availability, improved infrastructure, and increased resiliency.
OUTREACH
The Project has included City-led community engagement efforts, including a project website, community engagement events, and notifications regarding exploratory drilling activities.
These efforts will continue throughout design and construction.
FISCAL IMPACT
The requested authorization will be funded by the Water Enterprise Fund, CIP No. 24174 – City Groundwater Supply Project. Under the latest approved five-year CIP, CIP No. 24174 has a total budget of $31.5 million. This budget includes prior-year expenditures, a $1 million grant from the State Water Board, and escalation estimates for future years.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize funding for the City’s cost share of preliminary design and owner’s representative services for the Regional Groundwater Development Project in an amount not-to-exceed $810,000.

1. Zone 7 Board of Directors Meeting Agenda Report
ITEM NO. 10
ORIGINATING SECTION: Water Supply Engineering
CONTACT: Elliott Levitsky/Brandon Woods
AGENDA DATE: August 19, 2026
SUBJECT: Award a Contract for Preliminary Design and Owner's Representative Services for the Regional Groundwater Development Project
SUMMARY:
• The proposed action supports Strategic Plan Goal B – Reliable Water Supply and Infrastructure; Goal C – Safe Water; and Goal D – Groundwater Management; and supports Initiative 5 – Develop a diversified water supply plan and implement supported projects and programs; Initiative 6 – Continue to Effectively Implement Infrastructure Projects in the Water System Capital Improvement Plan; and Initiative 11 – Manage the Groundwater Sustainability Agency and implement the Groundwater Sustainability Plan.
• Zone 7 identified exploring the Bernal subbasin as an opportunity to increase groundwater production capacity to meet projected future demands. The City of Pleasanton (City) selected installation of new wells in the Bernal subbasin as the preferred option to replace the Groundwater Pumping Quota it lost when its three wells were removed from service due to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). A joint feasibility study and the basis of design report were completed to evaluate synergies of a joint project to meet these objectives.
• The study confirmed that a joint project enables both agencies to achieve significant cost savings through economies of scale, minimize impacts to the community and environment, and gain long-term operational efficiencies. On May 20, 2026, the Zone 7 Board authorized an agreement with the City for Zone 7 to implement the project, further described below.
The City Council plans to consider approval of the agreement on September 1, 2026.
• As the lead agency, Zone 7 plans to deliver the Project using the Progressive Design-Build (PDB) contracting, a collaborative delivery approach that combines design and construction under a single contract. PDB was selected to reduce the overall project schedule and reduce project risks. In particular, early electrical design and equipment procurement are intended to accelerate critical-path activities, including PG&E coordination, to meet the Project's target operational date of December 2029.
Attachment 1
• In September 2024, Zone 7 selected Luhdorff & Scalmanini, Consulting Engineers (LSCE) through a competitive process to complete Phase I of the project, including the Feasibility Study, with the option to continue with an LSCE-led team to complete Phase II of the project, which includes design and implementation.
• Staff recommends that the Board authorize the General Manager to negotiate, execute, and amend, as needed, a new contract with LSCE for Phase II services, including Preliminary Design and Owner's Representative services (described below), to support procurement of a PDB contractor, in a not-to-exceed amount of $2,250,000, which includes a 10% contingency.
FUNDING:
Funding for Zone 7’s share of the project is included in the Adopted Two-Year Budget for FY 2026-28 for Fund 130 – Water System Expansion.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt the attached Resolution.

Summary of Project Implementation:
Project Background
The City historically met its water demand through a combination of treated water purchased from Zone 7 and production from its own municipal wells. In 2022, the City detected PFAS in City Wells 5, 6, and 8 and removed them from service. The City evaluated options for restoring its lost production capacity, and Zone 7 and the City determined that partnering on the Project would best serve the interests of both agencies. The Project will add production from the Bernal Subbasin, diversifying Zone 7's groundwater supply and supporting regional reliability.
The Feasibility Study (LSCE, December 2025), completed jointly by Zone 7 and the City, evaluated three candidate well sites and identified the recommended Project, consisting of two new groundwater production wells at Tennis and Community Park and Hansen Park in Pleasanton, with a combined capacity of approximately 9 million gallons per day (MGD), a 4,000 foot transmission main in Hopyard Road and Hansen Drive, and improvements to the Zone 7 Hopyard Chloramination Facility to accommodate the additional water supply. The total estimated project cost is approximately $42.3 million, which would be shared with the City according to the proposed Groundwater Supply Facility Construction and Operation Agreement (the Agreement).
Agreement and Cost Share
On May 20, 2026, the Board authorized the General Manager to negotiate and execute the Agreement, which establishes each agency's roles, including Zone 7’s role in the design and construction of the facilities, the cost-share framework, and the Project's target operational date of December 28, 2029. The Agreement also identifies Zone 7 as the lead agency responsible for completion of the environmental documentation to satisfy California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Project costs are shared based on the City's Groundwater Pumping Quota (3,500 acre-feet per year) relative to the Project's anticipated average-year production capacity (9,700 acre-feet per year), resulting in a Zone 7 cost share of 64 percent for the wells and raw groundwater pipelines and 77 percent for the Hopyard Chloramination Facility upgrades. The City is responsible for funding the remaining costs.
Project Delivery: Progressive Design-Build
Progressive Design-Build (PDB) is a collaborative project delivery approach in which a team performs both design and construction under one contract, working with Zone 7 and its Owner's Representative through all phases of the Project. PDB was selected to accelerate completion and to mitigate project risks by competitively selecting contractors based on qualifications and early contractor involvement in constructability reviews and value engineering, while enabling competitive pricing and cost certainty through a Guaranteed Maximum Price contract. PDB will also enable an accelerated schedule by completing electrical
design early to enable procurement of long lead-time items, such as electrical switchgear and transformers, which allows PG&E service applications to be submitted well in advance of construction. Both measures are critical to meeting the Project’s December 28, 2029 target operational date.
Owner's Representative Support Services
The Owner's Representative provides specialty technical expertise and independent review on Zone 7's behalf through all phases of the Project, including supporting the PDB procurement, reviewing design and procurement deliverables, verifying cost transparency through the PDB team's open-book pricing, assisting with evaluation and negotiation of the Guaranteed Maximum Price, and providing construction management.
Under this contract, LSCE, teamed with Carollo Engineers and ESA, will provide the Owner's Representative services for preliminary design, procurement of the PDB team, and CEQA documentation. Authorization of the remaining Owner's Representative services to support subsequent phases of the Project will be brought to the Board for consideration.
Owner’s Representative Services Selection
The consulting services for the Project were competitively procured under a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued in 2024, consistent with Zone 7's Procurement Policy. The RFP encompassed both the Feasibility Study (Phase I) and the subsequent design and implementation of the recommended Project (Phase II), and reserved Zone 7's right to select the same firm to perform Phase II services if the Project was determined to be feasible and both agencies elected to proceed.
Proposals were evaluated in 2024 by a selection committee comprising Zone 7 and City of Pleasanton staff, which selected LSCE as the best-qualified firm, with Carollo Engineers as its subconsultant for conceptual engineering. Consistent with the RFP, Zone 7 requested a proposal from LSCE to advance the Project through preliminary design and procurement of the PDB team.
LSCE's performance to date has been to Zone 7's satisfaction, and its established understanding of the Project provides continuity through preliminary design and PDB procurement. Staff recommends the Board authorize a new contract with LSCE for Phase II.
External Funding
Zone 7 continues to evaluate grant and other external funding opportunities that may help offset project costs. The Agreement provides for Zone 7 and the City to cooperate so that the Project's design, permitting, procurement, and construction support eligibility for applicable funding programs. Staff will return to the Board for any authorization required to pursue such funding.

Public Works - Operations Division
TITLE: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO
AN AGREEMENT WITH GACHINA LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT FOR
MISCELLANEOUS LANDSCAPE SERVICES AT VARIOUS CITY LOCATIONS IN AN AMOUNT NOT-TO-EXCEED $1,848,051
SUMMARY
The recommended agreement is for citywide landscape services, including maintenance of City-owned medians, Main Street planters and sidewalk debris blowing, fire stations, the park- and-ride facility, the transportation corridor, and a portion of the Iron Horse Trail. The agreement would be for three years, with an option to extend the term for up to two additional one-year periods, for a maximum term of five years. The current landscape maintenance agreement expires September 30, 2026.
BACKGROUND
City staff performs a wide variety of landscape maintenance services that are necessary to keep the City in good order. In certain instances where it is cost-effective to do so, landscape maintenance contractors are used to augment City services. Contract services are utilized for specific City-owned landscape areas, including approximately 85 acres of medians and landscaped roadsides, five fire stations, the park-and-ride facility, transportation corridor landscaping, a portion of the Iron Horse Trail, and 62 Main Street planters. This allows City staff to focus on high-use, high-visibility park areas that require specialized maintenance. For the past 25 years, the City has used landscaping firms for median maintenance.
DISCUSSION
A Request for Proposals (RFP) for miscellaneous landscape services at various City-owned locations was issued on July 31, 2026. On August 19, 2026, the City received proposals from the following eight contractors:

Public Works - Operations Division
TITLE: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR ONE PIERCE ENFORCER 1500 GPM TYPE I PUMPER FIRE ENGINE FROM GOLDEN STATE FIRE APPARATUS, INC.,
THROUGH THE SOURCEWELL COOPERATIVE PURCHASING PROGRAM, FOR A TOTAL AMOUNT NOT-TO-EXCEED $1,439,073
SUMMARY
The City's Fire Apparatus Replacement Plan identifies Engine E92 for replacement. Engine E92 is a frontline Type I pumper fire engine used by the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department for emergency response. As fire apparatus age, maintenance costs increase, parts become more difficult to obtain, and reliability declines. Engine 92 has now reached the end of its useful life. Replacing Engine E92 will improve emergency response reliability, firefighter safety, and operational readiness.
BACKGROUND
The Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department provides fire protection, emergency medical response, rescue, hazardous materials response, and disaster response services to the Cities of Pleasanton and Livermore.
Engine E92 is a frontline apparatus which is scheduled for replacement under the City’s Fire Apparatus Replacement Plan. Replacing the engine will help maintain reliable emergency response services and reduce the risk of increased downtime associated with aging equipment. Engine E92 was purchased in 2014, and has 10,669 engine hours, mileage of 124,537, and total lifetime maintenance costs of $383,082.
DISCUSSION
Engine E92 has reached the end of its useful service life. As it continues to age, the City can expect higher maintenance costs, reduced parts availability, and increased risk of downtime.
The proposed replacement is a Pierce Enforcer 1500 GPM Type I pumper fire engine. The new engine will meet current National Fire Protection Association safety standards and current emissions requirements, while improving reliability and firefighter safety.
Fire apparatus manufacturing lead times are currently estimated at approximately 47 to 50 months. Approving this purchase now will allow the City to secure a production slot and support the planned replacement schedule.
The purchase will be made through the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program.
Sourcewell competitively solicits contracts for public agencies, allowing the City to use pre- competed pricing without conducting a separate formal solicitation.
EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
Replacing Engine E92 supports reliable emergency response services throughout the community. The new apparatus will include cleaner engine technology and improved fuel efficiency.
OUTREACH
No outreach was conducted, as this item is a routine replacement of emergency response equipment included in the City's Fire Apparatus Replacement Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total not to exceed cost of $1,439,073 includes the purchase of one Pierce Enforcer 1500 GPM Type I pumper fire engine for $1,251,368, plus a 15 percent contingency of $187,705.
The contingency may be used for manufacturer pricing adjustments, approved change orders, equipment modifications, or other procurement-related expenses before final acceptance.
Funding is available in the Fire Apparatus Replacement Fund, Internal Service Fund 513 (Account No. 51320113-440107).
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to execute a purchase order with Golden State Fire Apparatus, Inc., through the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program for the purchase of one Pierce Enforcer 1500 GPM Type I Pumper Fire Engine for a total not-to-exceed amount of $1,439,073.

TITLE: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING, AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING
EXECUTION OF CERTAIN FINANCING DOCUMENTS AND ACTIONS IN CONNECTION WITH ISSUING UP TO $16,500,000 IN WATER REVENUE BONDS FOR FINANCING IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CITY’S WATER SYSTEM
SUMMARY
The proposed Water Revenue Bonds (Bonds) to be issued by the Pleasanton Joint Powers Financing Authority (Authority) for an amount not to exceed $16.50 million will fund improvements to the City’s water systems infrastructure and pay costs of bond issuance. The Bonds will (1) be sold via negotiated sale to Siebert Williams Shank & Co., LLC, as underwriter, (2) mature in 25 years, (3) have an interest rate not to exceed 5.5 percent, and (4) include a call provision allowing the City to redeem, at the City’s option, some or all of the Bonds prior to their scheduled maturity.
This is a companion report to the action being considered by the Authority. This is a separate, but related, action from the authorization to issue bonds, which will be handled through the Authority.
BACKGROUND
The Authority is a joint exercise of powers agency formed between the City and the City’s Housing Authority to assist the City with municipal financing transactions. The City Council sits as the governing body of the Authority, and City staff serve as staff of the Authority.
On May 7, 2024, the City Council approved a resolution to issue 2024 Water Revenue Bonds in a par amount of $17,275,000. The bonds were sold via negotiated sale on May 20, 2024.
The bond proceeds amounted to $19,000,000, including premiums. The 2024 Water Revenue Bonds were allocated to fund the Near-Term Water Improvements Project, the feasibility and design phase of the Groundwater Supply Project, the design and initial construction of the Emergency Power Improvements Project, and other water system infrastructure improvements. As of the end of June 2026, the Near-Term Water Improvements Project was approximately 92 percent complete and is expected to be fully complete by the end of 2026.
The feasibility phase of the Groundwater Supply Project is complete, the design of the Emergency Power Improvements Project is complete with construction anticipated to start by the end of 2026.
Following completion of the City’s Water System Management Plan (WSMP) in 2024, the City completed a comprehensive water rate study in 2025. The study identified the need to issue approximately $35 million in additional debt financing through 2030 to implement the City's water capital improvements. The anticipated financing schedule includes approximately $15 million in FY 2026/27, $10 million in FY 2027/28, and $10 million in FY 2028/29.
The City Council adopted new water rates on October 7, 2025, for the next four years, beginning in January 2026. The adopted rates were based on revenue adjustments of 15 percent increases in each of Calendar Year 2026 and 2027, and 8 percent increases in each of Calendar Year 2028 and 2029. The water rate increases were adopted to ensure the long- term financial sustainability of the City's water utility by providing sufficient funding for daily operations, debt service, infrastructure rehabilitation and replacement, regulatory compliance, and future capital improvements identified in the Water System Management Plan. The updated rates also support appropriate reserve levels while balancing affordability, revenue stability, and water conservation objectives. The proposed issuance of debt was incorporated into the new rate increases.
On August 11, 2026, the City Council receive a presentation on debt financing regarding water improvement projects and adopted a resolution that declared its intent to reimburse itself with proceeds from the bond sale.

The Authority plans to issue water revenue bonds to help the City finance the acquisition, construction, and improvements to the City’s water systems. The City will purchase those projects from the Authority pursuant to the Installment Sale Agreement. The proceeds will be used to finance all or a portion of the following improvements:
• Water Meter and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) System Replacement; • Design and construction of City Groundwater Supply Project; • Completion of construction of Water System Emergency Power Improvements; • Annual Water Distribution System Improvements; and
• Other water system capital improvements.
As some of the projects are in active implementation using a portion of the unspent proceeds from the 2024 Water Revenue Bonds, certain costs related to the Water System capital improvement projects will be incurred before the 2026 Bonds are issued, which are expected to be reimbursed from the bond proceeds.
Because of delays in the start of the design and construction of the Groundwater Supply Project, a portion of the remaining 2024 Water Revenue Bond proceeds will instead be used to advance Phase 1 of the Water Meter and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) System Replacement Program, including proof-of-concept testing and replacement of failed water meters. Phase 1 is expected to replace approximately 20 percent of the City's meter inventory by the end of 2026. With the current project delivery schedule, staff expect to expend or encumber the 2024 Water Revenue Bond in 2027.
Financial Statement
PFM Financial Advisors LLC (PFM), the City's Municipal Advisor, has provided estimates
regarding certain financial aspects of the proposed financing based on market conditions as of August 21, 2026.
The current estimates indicate that the principal amount of the Bonds will be approximately $14.15 million (below the not-to-exceed amount of $16.5 million). The principal and interest payments, together, on the Bonds will be approximately $1.00 million each fiscal year until final maturity. The term of the Bonds will be 25 years. The Bonds are expected to sell at a premium, with proceeds expected to total about $15.2 million, including principal.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 5852.1, the following good faith estimates (obtained from the Underwriter and the Municipal Advisor) are being disclosed at a public meeting in connection with the authorization of the Bonds.
Bond Documents
The financing team has prepared a set of documents for the issuance, including the documents referred to in the attached resolution and has submitted the documents, including the Preliminary Official Statement, and other related economic and financial information to S&P Global Ratings, a nationally recognized rating agency, to obtain a credit rating on the Bonds.
Credit Rating
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'AA' rating with a Stable outlook to the 2026 Bonds, affirming the same rating on the City's existing water revenue debt. The 'AA' rating reflects S&P's view of the water system's very strong financial profile, underpinned by strong debt service
coverage and the City's multi-year approved rate increase program, which S&P characterized as a credit strength. The rating also benefits from Pleasanton's exceptionally strong economic and demographic characteristics and the City's disciplined financial management policies.
Notwithstanding the strength of the rating, the City's liquidity position is below the median for 'AA'-rated water utilities nationally. According to S&P's most recent medians data, 'AA'-rated systems carry approximately 649 days' cash on hand, while the City ended Fiscal Year 2024/25 with approximately 200 days' cash on hand and $20.9 million in unrestricted cash reserves. This difference was a key factor in S&P's September 2025 revision of the outlook from Positive to Stable, reflecting the City's cash position relative to higher-rated peers. S&P noted that the rating could be raised in the longer term should the City surpass reserve projections and achieve a liquidity position more commensurate with higher-rated peers.
Repayment Term
At the August 11, 2026, meeting, the Council directed staff to evaluate a shorter repayment schedule than 30 years to save interest costs. Staff conducted additional analysis, including 20-, 25-, and 30-year repayment terms, and concluded that a 25-year repayment term would reduce interest costs while reflecting the need for annual debt service to be balanced against three competing priorities:
• Preserving sufficient annual cash flow to fund ongoing capital projects • Maintaining strong days' cash on hand
• Retaining capacity for planned future debt issuances
As shown in Table 1 below, the total debt service payment for a 25-year repayment term is $24.65 million, $2.84 million lower than the $27.49 million for a 30-year repayment term.
Table 1. Repayment Term Comparison
The Authority is obligated to pay the debt service on the Bonds using amounts received from the City as installment payments payable by the City under the Installment Sale Agreement.
The City is obligated to pay the installment payments from the “Net Revenues” of the City’s water system. Net Revenues are defined in the legal documents to mean the gross revenues received by the City from the water system, less operations and maintenance costs of the system. The use of Net Revenues to pay the installment payments will be on parity with the City’s obligation to make payments with respect to the State Revolving Fund (SRF) Agreement executed in 2015 and 2024 Water Revenue Bonds.
The maximum amount authorized to be borrowed would be $16.5 million, including an amount necessary to cover issuance costs. The attached resolution authorizes the sale of the Bonds at a public sale and approves the form of the Preliminary Official Statement and other documents. Further, the Resolution authorizes the City Manager and the Finance Director to
take any and all actions necessary to consummate the issuance of the Bonds.
Legal Structure and Financing Documents
The proposed resolution will approve the following documents. Each of the documents is presented in substantial final form and will be completed after the Bonds are priced (i.e., when the principal amount of the Bonds, the interest rates and the original issue premium or discount is determined).
• Indenture of Trust – The Indenture is a contract between the Authority and U.S. Bank National Association, acting as trustee for the holders of the Bonds. The Indenture specifies the trustee, dated date, maturity date or dates, interest rate or rates, interest payment dates, denominations, forms, registration privileges, manner of execution, place or places of payment, terms of redemption and other terms of the Bonds. • Installment Sale Agreement – The Installment Sale Agreement is a contract between the Authority and the City, under which the Authority agrees to provide financing for the water projects and to sell the completed water projects to the City in consideration of the payment by the City of semiannual installment payments which are sufficient to provide revenues with which to pay principal of, and interest on, the Bonds when due. • Bond Purchase Agreement – The Bond Purchase Agreement is a contract among the Authority, the City and Siebert Williams Shank & Co., LLC., as underwriter, whereby the Authority agrees to sell the Bonds to the Underwriter and the Underwriter agrees to buy the Bonds from the Authority for resale to the public.
• Preliminary Official Statement – The Preliminary Official Statement is the offering statement used by the Underwriter to inform the marketplace of the terms of the Bonds, material information regarding the City’s water system and related matters. It contains all relevant information for the investors to decide whether to purchase the Bonds. • Continuing Disclosure Certificate – Contained in the Preliminary Official Statement is the form of Continuing Disclosure Certificate, which requires the City to submit annual continuing disclosure reports and notice of certain listed events to the marketplace as long as the Bonds are outstanding.
Financing Team Participants
The complex legal and financial structure of municipal debt requires issuing agencies to rely heavily upon experienced professional consultants to assist with the process. City staff assembled a team of professionals to assist the City in this transaction. All fees associated with the financing will be paid by the Bonds.
Municipal Advisor - PFM. Ensures that the issuing entity’s interests are protected when the transaction is being structured and when interest rates are established on the Bonds.
Bond Counsel/Disclosure Counsel - Jones Hall. Drafts the documents required to complete the sale of bonds as well as ensures compliance with all of the legal requirements surrounding municipal debt.
Underwriter - Siebert Williams Shank & Co. Securities dealer who helps government entities bring bond issues to market by purchasing the bonds from the issuer and then
reselling the bonds to investors.
Trustee - U.S. Bank: Financial institution with trust powers that is given fiduciary powers by a bond issuer to enforce the terms of a bond indenture.

The Installment Sale Agreement is hereby approved in substantially the form on file with the City Clerk together with any changes therein or additions thereto deemed advisable by the City Manager or the Director of Finance (each, an “Authorized Officer”), or a designee of either of them, and the execution thereof by an Authorized Officer shall be conclusive evidence of the approval of any such changes or additions. An Authorized Officer is hereby authorized and directed for and in the name and on behalf of the City to execute, and the City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to attest to, if necessary, the final form of the Installment Sale Agreement.

The City Council authorizes the distribution of the final Official Statement by the Underwriter, which will include final pricing information related to the Bonds.
Section 6. Official Actions. The Mayor, the City Manager, the Director of Finance, the City Clerk and all other officers of the City are each authorized and directed in the name and on behalf of the City to make any and all assignments, certificates, requisitions, agreements, notices, consents, instruments of conveyance, warrants and other documents, including but not limited to a Continuing Disclosure Certificate in substantially the form attached as Appendix C to the Official Statement which is approved under Section 4, which they or any of them might deem necessary or appropriate in order to consummate any of the transactions contemplated by the agreements and documents approved under this Resolution.

The Authority hereby appoints the City as its agent to carry out all phases of the acquisition, construction and installation of the Project under and in accordance with the provisions hereof.

in the Project Fund in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Indenture. SECTION 3.5. Plans and Specifications. The City has the right to specify the exact scope, nature and identification of the Project and the respective components thereof. Before any payment is made for the Project or any component thereof from amounts on deposit in the Project Fund, the City must prepare detailed plans and specifications relating thereto. The City may from time to time amend any such plans and specifications, and thereby change or modify the description of the Project or any component thereof. SECTION 3.6. Certificate of Completion. Upon the completion of the Project, but in any event not later than 30 days following such completion, an Authorized Representative of the City shall execute and deliver to the Authority and the Trustee a Written Certificate of the City which (a) states that the construction of the Project has been substantially completed, (b) identifies the total Project Costs thereof, and (c) identifies the amounts, if any, to be reserved in the Project Fund for payment of future Project Costs. ARTICLE IV SALE OF PROJECTS; INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS SECTION 4.1. Sale of Project. The Authority hereby sells, bargains and conveys the Project to the City, and the City hereby purchases the Project from the Authority, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. SECTION 4.2. Term. The Term of this Agreement commences on the Closing Date, and ends on April 1, 2057, or such later or earlier date on which the Bonds cease to be Outstanding under and within the meaning of the Indenture. SECTION 4.3. Title. Title to the Project, and each component thereof, shall be deemed conveyed by the Authority to and vested in the City upon the completion of the acquisition, construction and installation thereof. The Authority and the City will execute, deliver and cause to be recorded any and all documents reasonably required by the City to consummate the transfer of title to the Water System and the Project.

The City shall deposit the Installment Payment coming due and payable on any Interest Payment Date with the Trustee, as assignee of the Authority under the Indenture, on the related Installment Payment Date (as set forth in Appendix A hereto) in an amount which, together with amounts then held by the Trustee in the Bond Fund, is equal to the full amount of such
-7-
Installment Payment. The Installment Payments are secured by and payable solely from the sources specified in Section 4.5. (b) Effect of Prepayment. If the City prepays all remaining Installment Payments in full under Section 7.2 or Section 7.3, or under the relevant provisions of any Supplemental Agreement, the City’s obligations under this Agreement shall thereupon cease and terminate, including but not limited to the City’s obligation to pay Installment Payments therefor under this Section 4.4; provided, however, that the City’s obligations to compensate and indemnify the Trustee under Sections 4.7 and 5.2 will survive such prepayment. If the City prepays the Installment Payments in part but not in whole under Section 7.2 or Section 7.3, or under the relevant provisions of any Supplemental Agreement, the principal component of each succeeding Installment Payment will be reduced as provided in such Sections or in such Supplemental Agreement, and the interest component of each remaining Installment Payment will be reduced by the aggregate corresponding amount of interest which would otherwise be payable with respect to the Bonds thereby redeemed under the applicable provisions of the Indenture. (c) Rate on Overdue Payments. If the City fails to make any of the payments required in this Section 4.4 and Section 4.8, the payment in default will continue as an obligation of the City until fully paid, and the City agrees to pay the same with interest thereon, from the date of default to the date of payment, at the Overdue Rate. (d) Assignment. The City understands and agrees that certain rights of the Authority, including but not limited to the right of the Authority to receive payment of the Installment Payments, have been assigned by the Authority to the Trustee in trust under the Indenture, for the benefit of the Owners of the Bonds, and the City hereby consents to such assignment. The Authority hereby directs the City, and the City hereby agrees, to pay to the Trustee at its Principal Corporate Trust Office, all payments payable by the City under this Section 4.4 and all amounts payable by the City under Article VII. SECTION 4.5. Pledge and Application of Net Revenues. (a) Pledge of Net Revenues. All of the Net Revenues and all moneys on deposit in the Water Fund and the funds and accounts established and held by the Trustee under the Indenture (other than the Project Fund and Cost of Issuance Fund) are hereby irrevocably pledged, charged and assigned to the punctual payment of the Installment Payments. Such pledge, charge and assignment constitute a lien on the Net Revenues and such other moneys for the payment of the Installment Payments in accordance with the terms hereof, on a parity with the pledge and lien which secures any Parity Debt. (b) Deposit of Net Revenues Into Water Fund; Transfers to Make Payments. The City will establish and hold in trust the Water Fund, for the purposes and uses set forth herein. The City shall deposit all of the Gross Revenues in the Water Fund immediately upon receipt. The City shall apply amounts in the Water Fund as set forth in this Agreement and any Parity Debt Instruments. Amounts on deposit in the Water Fund shall be applied by the City to pay when due the following amounts in the following order of priority: (i) all Operations and Maintenance Costs (including amounts reasonably required to be set aside in contingency reserves for Operations and Maintenance Costs) as such Operations and Maintenance Costs become due and payable;
-8-
(ii) to the Trustee (or other recipient set forth in a Parity Debt Instrument) the amount needed to pay the Installment Payments and principal of, and interest on, any Parity Debt; (iii) to the Trustee (or other recipient set forth in a Parity Debt Instrument) the amount of any deficiency in any reserve fund established for any Bonds or Parity Debt, the notice of which deficiency has been given to the City in accordance with the Indenture and the related Parity Debt Instruments, on a pro rata basis; and (iv) as long as all of the foregoing payments, allocations and transfers are made at the times and in the manner set forth above, any moneys remaining in the Water Fund may at any time be treated as surplus and applied for any lawful purpose. (c) No Preference or Priority. Payment of the Installment Payments and the principal of and interest on any Parity Debt shall be made without preference or priority among the Installment Payments and such Parity Debt. If the amount of Net Revenues on deposit in the Water Fund is at any time insufficient to enable the City to pay when due the Installment Payments and the principal of and interest on any Parity Debt, such payments shall be made on a pro rata basis. SECTION 4.6. Special Obligation of the City; Obligations Absolute. The City’s obligation to pay the Installment Payments and any other amounts coming due and payable hereunder is a special obligation of the City limited solely to the Net Revenues. Under no circumstances is the City required to advance moneys derived from any source of income other than the Net Revenues and other sources specifically identified herein for the payment of the Installment Payments and such other amounts. No other funds or property of the City are liable for the payment of the Installment Payments and any other amounts coming due and payable hereunder. The obligations of the City to pay the Installment Payments from the Net Revenues and to perform and observe the other agreements contained herein are absolute and unconditional and are not subject to any defense or any right of set-off, counterclaim or recoupment arising out of any breach by the Authority or the Trustee of any obligation to the City or otherwise with respect to the Water System, whether hereunder or otherwise, or out of indebtedness or liability at any time owing to the City by the Authority or the Trustee. Until all of the Installment Payments, all of the Additional Payments and all other amounts coming due and payable hereunder are fully paid or prepaid, the City (a) will not suspend or discontinue payment of any Installment Payments, Additional Payments or such other amounts, (b) will perform and observe all other agreements contained in this Agreement, and (c) will not terminate this Agreement for any cause, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the occurrence of any acts or circumstances that may constitute failure of consideration, eviction or constructive eviction, destruction of or damage to the Water System, failure to complete the acquisition and construction of the Project by the estimated completion date thereof, sale of the Water System, the taking by eminent domain of title to or temporary use of any component of the Water System, commercial frustration of purpose, any change in the tax law or other laws of the United States of America or the State of California or any political subdivision of either thereof, or any failure of the Authority or the Trustee to perform and observe any agreement, whether express
-9-
or implied, or any duty, liability or obligation arising out of or connected with the Indenture or this Agreement. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.6 do not release the Authority from the performance of any of the agreements on its part contained herein or in the Indenture, and if the Authority fails to perform any such agreements, the City may institute such action against the Authority as the City deems necessary to compel performance, so long as such action does not abrogate the obligations of the City contained in the preceding paragraph. The City may, however, at its cost and expense and in its name or in the name of the Authority, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding or take any other action involving third persons which the City deems reasonably necessary in order to secure or protect the City’s rights hereunder, and in such event the Authority shall cooperate fully with the City and shall take such action necessary to effect the substitution of the City for the Authority in such action or proceeding as the City may request. SECTION 4.7. Additional Payments. In addition to the Installment Payments, the City shall pay when due the following amounts to the following parties: (a) to the Authority, all costs and expenses incurred by the Authority to comply with the provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture; (b) to the Trustee upon request therefor, all of its fees, costs and expenses payable as a result of the performance of and compliance with its duties hereunder or under the Indenture or any related documents; (c) to the Authority and the Trustee, all amounts required to indemnify the Authority and the Trustee under Section 5.2 hereof and Section 8.07 of the Indenture; and (d) all costs and expenses of auditors, engineers and accountants for professional services relating to the Water System or the Bonds. The Additional Payments shall be payable from, but shall not be secured by a pledge or lien upon, the Net Revenues. The rights of the Trustee and the Authority under this Section 4.7, and the obligations of the City under this Section 4.7, shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(a) The Trustee makes no warranty or representation, either express or implied, as to the value, design, condition, merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose or fitness for the use contemplated by the City of the Project or any component thereof, or any other representation or warranty with respect to any of the Project or any component thereof. In no event is the Authority liable for incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages, in connection with or arising out of this Agreement or the Indenture for the existence, furnishing, functioning or use of the Project. (b) Throughout the Term of this Agreement, all improvement, repair and maintenance of the Water System shall be the responsibility of the City, and the City shall pay for or otherwise arrange for the payment of all utility services supplied to the Water System, which may include, without limitation, janitor service, security, power, gas, telephone, light, heating, Water and all other utility services, and shall pay for or otherwise arrange for the payment of the cost of the repair and replacement of the Water System resulting from ordinary wear and tear. The City shall also pay or cause to be paid all taxes and assessments of any type or nature, if any, charged to the Authority or the City affecting the Water System or the respective interests or estates therein; provided, however, that with respect to special assessments or other governmental charges that may lawfully be paid in installments over a period of years, the City shall be obligated to pay only such installments as are required to be paid during the Term of this Agreement as and when the same become due. SECTION 5.2. Release and Indemnification Covenants. The City agrees to indemnify the Authority and the Trustee and their respective officers, agents, successors and assigns, against all claims, losses and damages, including legal fees and expenses, arising out of (a) the use, maintenance, condition or management of, or from any work or thing done on or about the Water System by the City, (b) any breach or default on the part of the City in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Indenture, (c) any act or omission of the City or of any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees or licensees with respect to the Water System, and (d) any act or omission of any lessee of the City with respect to the Water System.

The provisions of this Section 5.2 shall survive the expiration of the Term of this Agreement. SECTION 5.3. Sale or Eminent Domain of Water System. (a) The City will not sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Water System or any part thereof essential to the proper operation of the Water System or to the maintenance of the Net Revenues except as herein expressly permitted. The City will not enter into any lease or agreement which impairs the operation of the Water System or any part thereof necessary to secure adequate Net Revenues for the payment of the interest on and principal or redemption price, if any, on the Bonds, or which would otherwise impair the rights of the holders of the Bonds with respect to the Net Revenues or the operation of the Water System. Any real or personal property which has become non-operative or which is not needed for the efficient and
-11-
proper operation of the Water System, or any material or equipment which has worn out, may be sold at not less than the market value thereof without the consent of the holders of the Bonds if such sale will not reduce Net Revenues and if all of the Net Proceeds of such sale are deposited in the Water Fund. (b) If all or any part of the Water System shall be taken by eminent domain proceedings, the Net Proceeds realized by the City therefrom shall be applied by the City (a) to the cost of acquiring or constructing or financing Improvements to the Water System, or (b) to redeem Bonds or any Parity Debt in accordance with the Indenture or the applicable Parity Debt Instruments. SECTION 5.4. Insurance. The City covenants that it shall at all times maintain such insurance (which may be in the form of self-insurance pooling) on the Water System as is customarily maintained with respect to works and properties of like character against accident to, loss of or damage to such works or properties. Any such insurance shall be in the form of policies or contracts for insurance with insurers of good standing and shall be payable to the City, or may be in the form of self-insurance by the City. The City shall establish such fund or funds or reserves as it determines, in its sole judgment, are necessary to provide for its share of any such self-insurance. All amounts collected from insurance against accident to or destruction of any portion of the Water System shall be used to repair or rebuild such damaged or destroyed portion of the Water System, and to the extent not so applied, shall be applied to redeem Bonds or any Parity Debt in accordance with the Indenture or the applicable Parity Debt Instruments. SECTION 5.5. Records and Accounts. The City covenants that it shall keep proper books of record and accounts of the Water System, separate from all other records and accounts, in which complete and correct entries shall be made of all transactions relating to the Water System. Said books shall, upon reasonable request, be subject to the inspection of the Owners of not less than 10% of the Outstanding Bonds or their representatives authorized in writing. The City covenants that it will cause the books and accounts of the Water System to be audited annually by an Independent Certified Public Accountant and will make available for inspection by the Bond Owners, upon reasonable request, a copy of the report of such Independent Certified Public Accountant. The City covenants that it will cause to be prepared annually, not more than 180 days after the close of each Fiscal Year, as a part of its regular annual financial report, a summary statement showing the amount of Gross Revenues and the amount of all other funds collected which are required to be pledged or otherwise made available as security for payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds, the disbursements from the Gross Revenues and other funds in reasonable detail. The City shall furnish a copy of the statement to the Trustee, and upon written request, to any Bond Owner. SECTION 5.6. Rates and Charges. (a) The City shall fix, prescribe, revise and collect rates and charges for the Water System during each Fiscal Year which are at least sufficient, after making allowances for
-12-
contingencies and error in the estimates, to produce Gross Revenues which will be sufficient to pay the following amounts: (i) all Operations and Maintenance Costs of the Water System estimated by the City to become due and payable in such Fiscal Year; (ii) the Installment Payments and debt service on any Parity Debt; (iii) all other payments required for compliance with this Agreement, the Indenture and the Parity Debt Instruments; and (iv) all payments required to meet any other obligations of the City that are charges, liens, encumbrances upon or payable from the Gross Revenues of the Water System or the Net Revenues of the Water System. (b) In addition, the City shall fix, prescribe, revise and collect charges for the Water System during each Fiscal Year which are sufficient to yield Net Revenues at least equal to 120% of the amounts payable under the preceding clause (a)(ii) in such Fiscal Year. For purposes of this paragraph, the amount of Net Revenues for a Fiscal Year will be computed on the basis that any transfers into the Water Fund in such Fiscal Year from the Rate Stabilization Fund are included in the calculation of Net Revenues (except to the extent of amounts transferred into the Rate Stabilization Fund from Gross Revenues received by the City in such Fiscal Year, so as to avoid double-counting), as provided in this Agreement. SECTION 5.7. Superior and Subordinate Obligations. The City may not issue or incur any additional bonds or other obligations during the Term of this Agreement having any priority in payment of principal or interest out of the Net Revenues over the Installment Payments. Nothing herein is intended or shall be construed to limit or affect the ability of the City to issue, enter into or incur (a) Parity Debt under Section 5.8, or (b) obligations which are either unsecured or which are secured by an interest in the Net Revenues which is junior and subordinate to the pledge of and lien upon the Net Revenues established hereunder. SECTION 5.8. Issuance of Parity Debt. In addition to the Installment Payments, the City may, by a Parity Debt Instrument, issue or incur other loans, advances or indebtedness payable from Net Revenues to be derived from the Water System, to provide financing for the Water System, in such principal amount as shall be determined by the City. The City may issue or incur any such Parity Debt subject to the following specific conditions that are hereby made conditions precedent to the issuance and delivery of such Parity Debt: (a) The City shall be in compliance with all covenants set forth in this Agreement and in the Indenture. (b) The Net Revenues of the Water System, calculated on generally accepted accounting principles, as shown by the books of the City for the latest Fiscal Year or any more recent 12-month period selected by the City ending not more than 60 days prior to the adoption of the Parity Debt Instrument pursuant to which such Parity Debt are issued, as shown by the books of the City, plus, at the option of the City, any or all of the items hereinafter in this paragraph designated (i) and (ii), shall at least equal 120% of Maximum Annual Debt Service, with Maximum Annual Debt Service calculated on all bonds and other obligations to be outstanding immediately subsequent to the issuance of such Parity Debt which have a lien on Net Revenues of the Water System.
-13-
The items any or all of which may be added to such Net Revenues for the purpose of issuing or incurring Parity Debt hereunder are the following: (i) An allowance for Net Revenues from any additions to or improvements or extensions of the Water System to be made with the proceeds of such Parity Debt, and also for Net Revenues from any such additions, improvements or extensions which have been made from moneys from any source but in any case which, during all or any part of such Fiscal Year or such 12-month period, were not in service, all in an amount equal to 90% of the estimated additional average annual Net Revenues to be derived from such additions, improvements and extensions for the first 36-month period in which each addition, improvement or extension is respectively to be in operation, all as shown in the written report of an Independent Consultant engaged by the City; and (ii) An allowance for revenues projected to arise from any increase in the water rates and charges which has been approved by the City Council prior to the incurring of such additional indebtedness but which, during all or any part of such Fiscal Year or such 12-month period, was not in effect, in an amount equal to the amount by which the Net Revenues would have been increased if such increase in water rates and charges had been in effect during the whole of such Fiscal Year or such 12-month period, all as shown in the written report of an Independent Consultant engaged by the City. For the avoidance of doubt, a charge shall be considered to have been approved by the City Council and may be considered in the calculation of the allowance described in the previous sentence if the water rate and charge is part of a rate increase that has been approved by the City Council, even if the specific water rate and charge will not take effect until a subsequent Fiscal Year. (c) The Parity Debt Instrument providing for the issuance of such Parity Debt under this Section 5.8 shall: (i) Provide that the proceeds of such Parity Debt shall be applied to the acquisition, construction, improvement, financing or refinancing of additional facilities, improvements or extensions of existing facilities within the Water System, or otherwise for facilities, improvements or property which the City determines are of benefit to the Water System, or for the purpose of refunding any Parity Debt in whole or in part, including all costs (including costs of issuing such Parity Debt and including capitalized interest on such Parity Debt during any period which the City deems necessary or advisable) relating thereto; (ii) specify the date on which interest on such Parity Debt will be payable; and (iii) specify the date on which principal on such Parity Debt will be payable. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parity Debt proposed to be issued for the purpose of refunding any Parity Debt may be issued without compliance with subsection (b) and (c)(i), so long as such refunding results in the same or lower Debt Service in each Fiscal Year after such refunding.

SECTION 5.9. Maintenance and Operation of Water System in Efficient and Economical Manner. The City covenants and agrees to maintain and operate the Water System in an efficient and economical manner and to operate, maintain and preserve the Water System in good repair and working order. SECTION 5.10. Assignment and Amendment. The Authority and the City may at any time amend or modify any of the provisions of this Agreement, but only: (a) with the prior written consents of the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds; or (b) without the consent of the Trustee or any of the Bond Owners, but only if such amendment or modification is for any one or more of the following purposes: (i) to add to the covenants and agreements of the City contained in this Agreement, other covenants and agreements thereafter to be observed, or to limit or surrender any rights or power herein reserved to or conferred upon the City; (ii) to make such provisions for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or of curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained herein, to conform to the original intention of the City and the Authority; (iii) to modify, amend or supplement this Agreement in such manner as to assure that the interest on the Bonds remains excluded from gross income under the Tax Code (provided that this provision shall not apply to bonds the interest on which is intended to be included in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation); (iv) in any other respect whatsoever as the Authority and the City deem necessary or desirable, if in the opinion of Bond Counsel such modifications or amendments do not materially adversely affect the interests of the Owners of the Bonds; and (v) to provide for the issuance of Parity Debt pursuant to Section 5.8 hereof, including the addition of any provisions required with respect to Parity Debt relating to Variable Rate Bonds, and to Swap Agreements. No such modification or amendment may extend or have the effect of extending any Installment Payment Date or reducing any Installment Payment or any premium payable upon the prepayment thereof, without the express consent of the Owners of the affected Bonds, or modify any of the rights or obligations of the Trustee without its written assent thereto. SECTION 5.11. Continuing Disclosure. The City hereby covenants and agrees to comply with and carry out all of the provisions of each Continuing Disclosure Certificate, as originally executed as of the date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds, and as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, failure by the City to comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall not constitute a default hereunder or under the Indenture of Trust; provided, however, that any Participating Underwriter or any Owner or beneficial owner of the Bonds may take such action as may be necessary and appropriate to compel performance by the City of its obligations under this Section, including seeking mandamus or specific performance by court order. All
