CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – FEBRUARY 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Authorization to Purchase Water Utility Data Management Software SOURCE: Public Works
COMMENT: The Water Utility Division currently relies on multiple spreadsheets to track operational data for thirty-one active production wells and storage reservoirs.
This approach is inefficient, increases the risk of inconsistent data, and limits the City’s ability to analyze long-term trends.
The City’s Wastewater Treatment Facility already uses AllMax Software for operational and regulatory compliance tracking, and the system has proven reliable and effective. Public Works staff recommends extending the use of AllMax Software to the Water Utility Division to standardize data collection, improve reporting accuracy, and align water system monitoring with existing wastewater operations.
AllMax Software has provided a quote for software licenses, mobile access, SCADA integration, and custom report configuration services tailored to the City’s needs. The proposed solution will automate data entry, improve consistency, and support monthly monitoring of well production and system performance.
The total cost for the software and custom report development is $23,683.50.
Including a 10% contingency, the total authorization requested is $26,051.
Funding is available in the Water Operating Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council authorize the purchase of AllMax Software licenses and custom reporting services for the Water Utility Division in an amount not to exceed $26,051, including a 10% contingency.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – FEBRUARY 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Authorization to Purchase Playground Shade for Fallen Heroes Park SOURCE: Parks and Leisure Services
COMMENT: The Parks and Leisure Services Department utilizes Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Park Improvement Funds to purchase park amenities on an annual basis, as funding permits. This funding source requires that projects be located within an eligible census tract. Eligible City parks include Murry Park, Zalud Park, and Fallen Heroes Park.
Installation of new shade sails at Fallen Heroes Park is a recommended project for this year's funding. The proposed shade system would replace existing sails that have experienced wear and damage since the park opened in 2014. The new sails would provide coverage over the existing playground equipment and splash pad areas. A robust shade system will help extend the lifespan of playground equipment and increase park usability during peak temperature periods. This improvement represents a proactive investment in maintaining park infrastructure and maximizing the community benefit of existing park amenities.
The proposed project scope includes installation of nine (9) custom fabric sails to existing shade columns, replacement of cables and hardware, and removal and disposal of existing sails. Four vendors previously utilized by the City for playground equipment purchases were contacted to provide quotes. All vendors are members of a government discount purchasing cooperative, which streamlines procurement and provides cost-effective purchasing options for public agencies. Three vendors responded to the request for quotes, and of the three, only the following two provided proposals that included the full project scope:
Ross Recreation Equipment $56,174.09
Superior Recreational Products $109,503.48
At its February 5, 2026 meeting, the Parks and Leisure Services Commission voted unanimously to recommend proceeding with the Fallen Heroes Park shade sails replacement project utilizing available CDBG Park Improvement Funds. Implementation of this project is contingent upon current and future Item No. 6.
funding allocations available through the CDBG Park Improvement Funds.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council authorize the purchase and installation of playground shade structures for Fallen Heroes Park from Ross Recreation Equipment in an amount not to exceed $61,792, subject to the availability of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Park Improvement Funds.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – FEBRUARY 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Acceptance of Grant Deed for Lombardi Subdivision Lift Station SOURCE: Engineering and Project Management
COMMENT: The subdivider, Presidio JJR Brookside 110, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, is nearing completion of the required public improvements for the Lombardi Subdivision. These improvements include the installation of a sewer lift station and the parcel of land upon which the lift station was constructed.

Acceptance of the Grant Deed is necessary to allow the City to assume responsibility for future operation, maintenance, and upkeep of the facility and to allow the remaining subdivision property to be sold.
The Grant Deed includes the legal description and plat of the property and has been properly executed and notarized.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:
1. Accept the Grant Deed of Dedication from Presidio JJR Brookside 110, LLC for the Lombardi Subdivision lift station parcel;

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – FEBRUARY 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Letter Opposing California Assembly Bill 1421 (MileageBased User Fee Study) SOURCE: City Manager's Office
COMMENT: Assembly Bill 1421 authorizes the continuation of a state-funded program to study and evaluate a mileage-based road usage charge as a potential alternative to the State’s existing fuel tax structure. The legislation continues the work of advisory bodies and requires additional research, coordination, and reporting to the Legislature related to a vehicle miles traveled (VMT) fee model.
The bill does not establish or impose a mileage-based tax. Instead, it extends the duration and scope of the State’s study and analysis efforts, including evaluation of administrative feasibility, privacy considerations, equity impacts, and potential revenue implications. Any implementation of a mileage-based user fee would require future legislative action.
The Mayor has requested that the City Council consider a formal letter expressing opposition to AB 1421. Approval of this item would authorize the transmittal of a Council position to the State Legislature regarding the continued funding of the mileage-based user fee study.
There is no direct fiscal impact to the City associated with approval of the proposed letter.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:
1. Approve a letter of opposition to Assembly Bill 1421 and authorize the Mayor to execute the letter on behalf of the City Council; and
2. Direct the City Manager to transmit the letter to
Assemblymembers who voted in favor of the bill.
ATTACHMENTS: 1. Draft Letter
Item No. 9.
Appropriated/Funded:
Review By:
Department Director:
Richard Tree, City Manager
Final Approver: Fernando Gabriel-Moraga, Chief Deputy City Clerk Subject: Opposition to AB 1421 – Continued Funding of Mileage-Based Tax Study Dear Assemblymember,
On behalf of the City Council and residents of the City of Porterville, I am writing to express strong opposition to Assembly Bill 1421, which continues state funding for a mileage-based road usage charge study.
At a time when California is facing a significant budget deficit, the continuation of this program represents a clear example of misplaced priorities and continued waste of taxpayer dollars. Californians already pay some of the highest fuel taxes, vehicle fees, and transportation-related charges in the nation. Rather than demonstrating accountability for how those funds have been managed, the State is choosing to spend additional resources studying a new tax concept that would further burden working residents.
The proposed mileage-based tax framework does not address the core issue facing California’s transportation system: decades of deferred road and highway maintenance driven by poor fiscal discipline and ineffective leadership. Instead of repairing existing infrastructure and responsibly managing current revenues, the State is advancing a policy that shifts the financial consequences of these failures onto hardworking Californians.
Communities like Porterville would be disproportionately impacted by a mileage-based tax. Residents in rural and semi-rural areas must travel longer distances for work, education, medical care, and basic services. A per-mile charge penalizes distance traveled rather than fuel consumption and would effectively raise taxes on families who already face rising costs of living and limited transportation alternatives.
The City of Porterville strongly rejects the notion that continued study of a mileage-based tax is a responsible or necessary use of public funds. This approach disguises long-standing policy failures under the banner of climate action while avoiding meaningful accountability for how existing transportation revenues have been spent.
For these reasons, I respectfully urge you to reconsider your support for AB 1421 and oppose any further efforts to continue or expand this program. California’s residents deserve leadership focused on fiscal responsibility, infrastructure maintenance, and real solutions, not additional studies that pave the way for higher taxes.
Sincerely,
Greg Meister
Mayor, City of Porterville
Item No. 10.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – FEBRUARY 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Authorization to Repair Fire Department Command Vehicle #2214 SOURCE: Fire
COMMENT: Fire Department Command Vehicle #2214 sustained damage in a traffic accident and required repair. An initial inspection resulted in a repair estimate of $4,758.04, and the vehicle was released to Golden State Paint and Body for service.
During the repair process, additional damage was discovered that was not visible during the initial inspection. As a result, a supplemental repair estimate was prepared, increasing the total repair cost to $6,526.08.
Due to the extent of disassembly already completed and the operational need to return the vehicle to service, obtaining additional repair estimates was not practical. Continuing repairs with the current vendor is the most efficient and cost-effective option. Because of limited command vehicle availability, the supplemental repairs were authorized by the City Manager and Mayor to minimize service impacts.
Funding for the repair is available in the Fire Department’s Vehicle Equipment Replacement Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council authorize Golden State Paint and Body to complete the repairs to the Fire Department command vehicle #2214 for a total cost of $6,526.08.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – FEBRUARY 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Authorization to Purchase Additional Lighted Bus Stop Sign Poles SOURCE: Transportation
COMMENT: On May 20, 2025, the City Council authorized the Bus Stop Sign Replacement Project, including the purchase of one hundred (100) lighted bus stop sign poles from Smart Era Lighting Systems (SELS). Since that approval, recent transit route adjustments and service changes have resulted in the establishment of additional bus stop locations that were not included in the original project scope.
To ensure consistent signage, visibility, and customer information at these new locations, staff has identified the need to purchase an additional twenty-four (24) lighted bus stop sign poles. The additional poles will match the original design and specifications to maintain uniformity across the transit system.
SELS has provided pricing for the additional poles in the amount of $53,988.00, which does not include sales tax. Sales tax will be paid directly by the City at the time of invoicing. Including estimated sales tax, freight, and a 10% contingency, the total authorization requested is $64,880.08. Funding for this purchase will be provided through Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funds (80%) and Local Transporation Funds (LTF) for the required 20% local match.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council authorize the purchase of twenty-four (24) additional lighted bus stop sign poles from Smart Era Lighting Systems (SELS) for the Bus Stop Sign Replacement Project in an amount not to exceed $64,880.08.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – FEBRUARY 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Authorization for Access to State and Federal Summary Criminal History Information
SOURCE: Administrative Services
COMMENT: California Penal Code Sections 11105(b)(11) and 13300(b)(11) authorize cities, counties, districts, and joint powers authorities to access state and local summary criminal history information for employment purposes. These statutes also authorize access to federal criminal history information by submitting fingerprint images and related information to the California Department of Justice (DOJ), which then transmits the information to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
State law requires that a city’s governing body specifically authorize such access by resolution. In addition, the statutes require that there be a requirement or exclusion from employment based on specific criminal conduct in order to obtain access to state and federal summary criminal history information.
The City of Porterville currently conducts background checks for certain positions; however, the Police Department is presently the only department authorized to directly receive state and federal criminal history information. As a result, the Human Resources Division must rely on indirect coordination, which can create inefficiencies and delays during the recruitment and onboarding process.
Formal City Council authorization is required to allow the Human Resources Division within the Administration Department to directly access state and federal summary criminal history information for employment purposes, including for volunteers and contract employees, as applicable. Granting this authority will streamline hiring processes, improve operational efficiency, and ensure compliance with statutory requirements.
The attached draft resolution includes language establishing the required employment-related use and exclusion criteria necessary under state law to authorize such access.
Item No. 12.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the Human Resources Division of the Administration Department to access state and federal level summary criminal history information for employment purposes, including volunteers and contract
employees.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – FEBRUARY 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Authorization to Execute the First Amendment to the Land Lease Agreement with American Tower
SOURCE: Finance
COMMENT: On April 30, 2008, the City of Porterville entered into a Land Lease Agreement for the installation and operation of a wireless communications facility located at 500 Newcomb Street. The lease allows for the placement and operation of a cellular communications tower and related equipment on City-owned property and has provided a consistent revenue source to the City for more than fifteen years.
American Tower, the current lessee and operator of the facility, has requested an amendment to the existing lease to extend the term and secure the longterm viability of the site. The proposed First Amendment to the Land Lease Agreement provides for additional renewal options, modifies rent escalation provisions, and includes a one-time lease consideration payment to the City.
Under the existing lease, the agreement includes multiple renewal options.
The proposed amendment adds seven (7) additional five-year renewal terms, which will automatically renew unless either party provides timely notice of non-renewal, extending the potential lease term through April 30, 2068. This amendment provides long-term certainty for both the City and the lessee while preserving the City’s ability to terminate the lease in the event of an uncured material default.
The initial base rent amount remains unchanged under the amended lease.
However, the amendment modifies the rent escalation structure. Specifically, the First Amendment:
• Supersedes and nullifies all prior rent escalation provisions contained in the original lease; and
• Establishes rent increases of ten percent (10%) every five (5) years, beginning May 1, 2028, and continuing for the duration of the lease term.
Item No. 14.
This change provides a predictable and structured escalation schedule while maintaining the existing base rent at the outset of the amended term.
As part of the amendment, American Tower will provide the City with a onetime lease consideration payment in the amount of $100,000. This payment is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the amended lease and is not contractually restricted to a specific use. Staff proposes that these funds be allocated to support upcoming America 250 community celebrations and related civic initiatives, subject to City Council direction.
The amended lease maintains the City’s ability to terminate the agreement in the event of a material default by the lessee that is not cured within the timeframes specified in the agreement. While cure periods are provided where the lessee is actively and diligently pursuing correction, the City retains enforcement authority consistent with the terms of the amended lease.
Approval of the First Amendment provides the City with long-term lease stability, continued wireless service coverage, predictable future rent increases, and an immediate one-time revenue benefit. The lease does not require City operational expenditures, does not impact the General Fund, and continues to place responsibility for facility operation, maintenance, insurance, and compliance on the lessee.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute the First Amendment to the Land Lease Agreement with American Tower to extend the lease term through April 30, 2068, modify rent escalation provisions to provide for ten percent (10%) increases every five (5) years, and accept a onetime lease consideration payment in the amount of $100,000.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO LAND LEASE AGREEMENT
This First Amendment to Land Lease Agreement (this “Amendment”) is made effective as of the latter signature date hereof (the “Effective Date”) by and between City of Porterville, a municipal corporation (“Landlord”) and Fresno MSA Limited Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless (“Tenant”) (Landlord and Tenant being collectively referred to herein as the “Parties”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Landlord owns the real property described on Exhibit A attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof (the “Parent Parcel”); and
WHEREAS, Landlord (or its predecessor-in-interest) and Tenant (or its predecessor-in-interest) entered into that certain Land Lease Agreement dated March 27, 2008 (as the same may have been amended, collectively, the “Lease”), pursuant to which the Tenant leases a portion of the Parent Parcel and is the beneficiary of certain easements for access and public utilities, all as more particularly described in the Lease (such portion of the Parent Parcel so leased along with such portion of the Parent Parcel so affected, collectively, the “Leased Premises”), which Leased Premises are also described on Exhibit A; and WHEREAS, Tenant, Verizon Communications Inc., a Delaware corporation, and other parties identified therein, entered into a Management Agreement and a Master Prepaid Lease, both with an effective date of March 27, 2015 and both with ATC Sequoia LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“American Tower”), pursuant to which American Tower subleases, manages, operates and maintains, as applicable, the Leased Premises, all as more particularly described therein; and WHEREAS, Tenant has granted American Tower a limited power of attorney (the “POA”) to, among other things, prepare, negotiate, execute, deliver, record and/or file certain documents on behalf of Tenant, all as more particularly set forth in the POA; and
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the terms of the Lease to extend the term thereof and to otherwise modify the Lease as expressly provided herein.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy, and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. One-Time Payment. Tenant shall pay to Landlord a one-time payment in the amount of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), payable within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date and subject to the following conditions precedent: (a) Tenant’s receipt of this Amendment executed by Landlord, on or before March 31, 2026; (b) Tenant’s confirmation that Landlord’s statements as further set forth in this Amendment are true, accurate, and complete, including verification of Landlord’s ownership; (c) Tenant’s receipt of any documents and other items reasonably requested by Tenant in order to effectuate the transaction and payment contemplated herein; and (d) receipt by Tenant of an original Memorandum (as defined herein) executed by Landlord.
2. Lease Term Extended. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease or this Amendment, the Parties agree the Lease originally commenced on May 1, 2008 and, without giving effect to the terms of this Amendment but assuming the exercise by Tenant of all remaining renewal options contained in the Lease (each an “Existing Renewal Term” and, collectively, the “Existing Renewal Terms”), the Lease is otherwise scheduled to expire on April 30, 2033. In addition to any Existing Renewal Term(s), the Lease is hereby amended to provide Tenant with the option to extend the Lease for each of seven (7) additional five (5) year renewal terms (each a “New Renewal Term” and, collectively, the “New Renewal Terms”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, as modified by this Amendment, (a) all Existing Renewal Terms and New Renewal Terms shall ATC Site No: 410981
VZW Site No: 115319
Site Name: West Porterville CA
automatically renew unless Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant elects not to renew the Lease at least sixty (60) days prior to the commencement of the next Renewal Term (as defined below) and (b) Landlord shall be able to terminate the Lease only in the event of a material default by Tenant, which default is not cured within sixty (60) days of Tenant’s receipt of written notice thereof, provided, however, in the event that Tenant has diligently commenced to cure a material default within sixty (60) days of Tenant’s actual receipt of notice thereof and reasonably requires additional time beyond the sixty (60) day cure period described herein to effect such cure, Tenant shall have such additional time as is necessary (beyond the sixty [60] day cure period) to effect the cure. References in this Amendment to “Renewal Term” shall refer, collectively, to the Existing Renewal Term(s) and the New Renewal Term(s).
The Landlord hereby agrees to execute and return to Tenant an original Memorandum of Lease in the form and of the substance attached hereto as Exhibit B and by this reference made a part hereof (the “Memorandum”) executed by Landlord, together with any applicable forms needed to record the Memorandum, which forms shall be supplied by Tenant to Landlord.
3. Rent and Escalation. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that current rent payable from Tenant to Landlord under the Lease is equal to Two Thousand Three Hundred Ninety-Five and 80/100 Dollars ($2,395.80) per month (the “Rent”). Commencing on May 1, 2028 and on the beginning of each Renewal Term thereafter, Rent due under the Lease, as modified by this Amendment, shall increase by an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the then current Rent. In the event of any overpayment of Rent prior to or after the Effective Date, Tenant shall have the right to deduct from any future Rent payments an amount equal to the overpayment amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, all Rent and any other payments expressly required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord under the Lease and this Amendment shall be paid to City of Porterville CA. The escalations in this Section shall be the only escalations to the Rent and any/all rental escalations otherwise contained in the Lease are hereby null and void and are of no further force and effect.
4. Landlord and Tenant Acknowledgments. Except as modified herein, the Lease and all provisions contained therein remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and affirmed. In the event there is a conflict between the Lease and this Amendment, this Amendment shall control. The Parties hereby agree that no defaults exist under the Lease. To the extent Tenant needed consent and/or approval from Landlord for any of Tenant’s activities at and uses of the site prior to the Effective Date, including subleasing to American Tower, Landlord’s execution of this Amendment is and shall be considered consent to and approval of all such activities and uses and confirmation that no additional consideration is owed to Landlord for such activities and uses. Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall not need consent or approval from, or to provide notice to, Landlord for installing, modifying, repairing, or replacing improvements within the Leased Premises, and/or assigning all or any portion of Tenant’s interest in the Lease, as modified by this Amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not need consent or approval from, but shall provide notice to, Landlord for subleasing and licensing to additional customers. Upon request by Tenant and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and for no additional consideration to Landlord, Landlord hereby agrees to promptly execute and return to Tenant building permits, zoning applications and other forms and documents, including a memorandum of lease, as required for the use of the Leased Premises by Tenant and/or Tenant’s customers, licensees, and sublessees.

Item No. 15.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – FEBRUARY 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Authorization to Purchase Synthetic Grass for the Murry Park Pool Deck and Authorization to Issue Request for Qualifications
SOURCE: Parks and Leisure Services
COMMENT: The synthetic grass surrounding the Murry Park pool deck was originally installed in 2004 and has exceeded its typical useful life. Over time, the material has significantly deteriorated, with visible seam failures, holes, uneven surfaces, and instability. These conditions have been further impacted by the installation of shade structure footings, resulting in additional wear and safety concerns. Replacement of the existing synthetic grass is necessary to maintain a safe, functional, and visually appropriate pool deck area.
Staff solicited quotes from qualified vendors for the removal and replacement of the existing synthetic grass. Three (3) responsive quotes were received as follows:
Guzman Creative Turf — $29,462.19
Synthetic Grass Expert — $47,500
Ross Recreation Equipment — $118,324.35
While Guzman Creative Turf submitted the lowest-priced quote, the product proposed is designed primarily for athletic or landscape applications and is not suitable for a pool deck environment due to differences in surface temperature, texture, drainage, and overall performance characteristics.
Synthetic Grass Expert (SGE), the original installer of the existing material, submitted the lowest responsive quote that meets the City’s performance and application requirements for a pool deck environment and proposes a replacement product compatible with the existing installation. Tax for the SGE quote is embedded in the total cost.
To account for unforeseen conditions that may be encountered during removal and installation, staff recommends authorizing the purchase in an amount not to exceed $52,250, which includes a ten percent (10%) contingency.
Separately, staff have identified the need to improve ADA accessibility at the Item No. 15.
Murry Park pool deck. Because this work involves specialized design and construction considerations, staff recommends issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to solicit qualified firms to evaluate and design ADAcompliant improvements. The RFQ process will allow staff to identify the most qualified firm and return to the City Council at a later date with a recommended consultant and cost proposal for consideration.
The proposed synthetic grass replacement project was reviewed and recommended by the Parks and Leisure Services Commission and is eligible for funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Park Improvement Funds, subject to applicable census tract eligibility requirements.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:
1. Authorize the purchase and installation of synthetic grass for the Murry Park pool deck from Synthetic Grass Expert in an amount not to exceed $52,500, which includes a ten percent (10%) contingency; and
2. Authorize staff to issue a Request for Qualifications for ADA accessibility improvements at the Murry Park pool deck.

16. Defaults and Remedies
Remedies in general. It is acknowledged by the parties that City would not have entered into this Agreement if it were to be liable in damages under this Agreement, or with respect to this Agreement or the application thereof, except as hereinafter expressly provided. Subject to extensions of time by mutual consent in writing, failure to delay by either party to perform any term or provision of this Agreement beyond a reasonable notice and cure period shall constitute a default. In the event of alleged default or breach of any terms or conditions of this Agreement, the party alleging such default or breach shall give the other party not less than thirty (30) day notice in writing specifying the nature of the alleged default and the manner in which said default may be satisfactorily cured during any such thirty (30) day period, the party charged shall not be considered in default for purposes of termination or institution of legal proceedings.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if the alleged default is of such a nature that it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, the alleged defaulting party 17 shall not be deemed in default as long as such party commences to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
After notice and expiration of the thirty (30) day period, the other party to this Agreement, at its option, may institute legal proceedings pursuant to this Agreement.
In general, each of the parties hereto may pursue any remedy at law or equity available for the breach of any provision of this Agreement, except that City shall not be liable in monetary damages, unless expressly provided for this Agreement, to Owner, to any mortgagee or lender, or to any successors in interest of Owner or mortgagee or lender, or to any other person, and Owner covenants on behalf of itself and all successors in interest to the Property or any portion thereof, not to sue for damages or claim any damages;.
1) For any breach of this Agreement or for any cause of action which arises out of this Agreement; or
2) For the impairment or restriction of any right or interest conveyed or provided under, with, or pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any impairment or restriction which Owner characterizes as a regulatory taking or inverse condemnation; or
3) Arising out of or connected with any dispute, controversy or issue regarding the application or interpretation or effect of the provisions of this Agreement.
Nothing contained herein shall modify or abridge Owner’s rights or remedies (including its rights for damages, if any) resulting from the exercise by City of its power of eminent domain. Nothing contained herein shall modify or abridge Owner’s rights or remedies (including its rights for damages, if any) resulting from bad faith intentional acts, the grossly negligent or malicious acts of City and its officials, officers, agents and employees. Nothing herein shall modify or abridge any defenses or immunities available to City and its employees pursuant to the Government Liability Act and all other applicable statutes and decisional law.
Except as set forth in the preceding paragraph relating to eminent domain, Owner’s remedies shall be limited to those set forth in this Section.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, City covenants as provided in Civil Code Section 3300 not to sue for or claim any consequential damages or, in the event all or a portion of the Property is not developed, for lost profits or revenues which would have accrued to City as a result of the development of the Property.
18 Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge that money damages and remedies at law are inadequate, and specific performance and other nonmonetary relief are particularly appropriate remedies for the enforcement of this Agreement and should be available to all parties for the following reasons:
1) Except as provided in this Agreement, money damages are unavailable against City.
2) Due to the size, nature and scope of the Project, it may not be practical or possible to restore the Property to its natural condition once implementation of this Agreement has begun. After such implementation, Owner may be foreclosed from other choices it may have had to use the Property or portions thereof. Owner has invested significant time and resources and performed extensive planning and processing of the Project in agreeing to the terms of this Agreement and will be investing even more significant time and resources in implementing the Project in reliance upon the terms of this Agreement, and it is not possible to determine the sum of money which would adequately compensate Owner for such efforts; the parties acknowledge and agree that any injunctive relief may be ordered on an expedited, priority basis.
Release. Except for those remedies set forth in this Agreement, Owner, for itself, its successors and assignees, hereby releases City, its officers, agents and employees from any and all claims, demands, actions, or suits of any kind or nature arising out of any liability, known or unknown, present or future, based or asserted, pursuant to Article 1, Section 19 of the California Constitution, the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, or any other law or ordinance which seeks to impose any other liability or damage, whatsoever, upon City because it entered into this Agreement or because of the terms of this Agreement.
Owner acknowledges that it may have suffered, or may suffer, damages and other injuries that are unknown to it, or unknowable to it, at the time of its execution of this Agreement. Such fact notwithstanding, Owner agrees that the release provided in this Section shall apply to such unknown or unknowable claims and damages. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Owner acknowledges the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provide:
“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” Owner hereby waives, to the maximum legal extent, the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 and all other statutes and judicial decisions of similar effect.
19 Owners’ Initials
Termination of Agreement for Default of City. Owner may terminate this Agreement in the event of a default by City in the performance of a material term of this Agreement and only after providing written notice to City of default setting forth the nature of the default and the actions, if any, required by City to cure such default and, where the default can be cured, City has failed to take such actions and cure such default within sixty (60) days after the effective date of such notice or, in the event that such default cannot be cured within such sixty (60) day period but can be cured within a longer time, has failed to commence the actions necessary to cure such default within such sixty (60) day period and to diligently proceed to complete such actions and cure such default.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Owner hereby agrees to, and shall hold City, its elective and appointive boards, commissions, officers, agents, attorney's, contractors, consultants and employees harmless from any liability for damage or claims for damage for personal injury, including death, as well as from claims for property damage which may arise from Owner or Owner’s contractors, subcontractors, agents, or employees’ operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by Owner, or by any of Owner’s contractors, subcontractors, agents, or employees operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by Owner, or by any of Owner’s contractors, subcontractors, or by any one or more persons directly or indirectly employed by, or acting as agent for Owner or any of Owner’s contractors or subcontractors.

In the event of any legal or equitable action or other proceeding instituted by any third party (including a governmental entity or official) challenging the validity of any provision of this Agreement or any portion thereof as set forth herein, the parties shall mutually cooperate with each other in defense of said action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the above, City, at is sole option, may tender the complete defense of any third-party challenge as described herein.

This Indemnification is provided in addition to that set forth in Section 7. 21 Environmental Contamination.

With respect to this Section, City reserves the right to approve the attorney(s) which Owner selects, hires or otherwise engages to defend City hereunder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Accept Reasonable Good Faith Settlement. With respect to this Section, City shall not reject any reasonable good faith settlement. If City does reject a reasonable, good faith settlement that is acceptable to Owner, Owner may enter into a settlement of the action, as it relates to Owner, and City shall thereafter defend such action (including appeals) at its own cost and be solely responsible for any judgment rendered in connection with such action. This Section applies exclusively to settlements pertaining to monetary damages or damages which are remedial by the payment of monetary compensation. Owner and City expressly agree that this Section does not apply to any settlement that requires an exercise of City’s police powers, limits City’s exercise of its police powers, or affects the conduct of City’s municipal operations.

However, this Agreement is subject to the City's "Reserved Powers." For purposes of this Agreement, "Reserved Powers" means the rights and authority excepted from this Agreement's restrictions on the City's police powers and which are instead reserved to the City. The Reserved Powers include the powers to enact regulations or take future discretionary actions after the Effective Date of this Agreement that: (1) are necessary to protect the public health and safety, and are generally applicable on a City-wide basis (except in the event of natural disasters as found by the City Council such as floods, earthquakes and similar acts of God); (2) are amendments to California Marijuana Laws or California Uniform Codes, as adopted by the City of Porterville, and/or the Porterville Municipal Code, as applicable, regarding the construction, engineering and design standards for private and public improvements to be constructed on the Site; (3) are necessary to comply with state or federal laws and regulations; or (4) involve sign and parking ordinances and guidelines, changes to the City’s zoning laws, Specific Plan or the City's General Plan, whether adopted previous or subsequent to the Effective Date of this Agreement).

The parties shall cooperate with each other and undertake such reasonable actions as may be appropriate to ensure this Agreement remains in full force and effect and is implemented in accordance with its terms and to the fullest extent permitted by state or federal law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, site improvements contemplated by this Agreement shall be completed pursuant to the City’s development standards and design guidelines.

The execution of this Agreement may be by actual, facsimile, or electronic signature.

The Federal Controlled Substances Act, 21 USC § 801, prohibits the manufacture, distribution, and possession of cannabis without any exemptions for medical use. Force Majeure.

Changes to Project. The parties acknowledge that changes to the Project or Development Plans and related approvals may be appropriate and mutually desirable to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement.

16. Defaults and Remedies
a. Remedies in general. It is acknowledged by the parties that City would not have entered into this Agreement if it were to be liable in damages under this Agreement, or with respect to this Agreement or the application thereof, except as hereinafter expressly provided. Subject to extensions of time by mutual consent in writing, failure to delay by either party to perform any term or provision of this Agreement beyond a reasonable notice and cure period shall constitute a default. In the event of alleged default or breach of any terms or conditions of this Agreement, the party alleging such default or breach shall give the other party not less than thirty (30) day notice in writing specifying the nature of the alleged default and the manner in which said default may be satisfactorily cured during any such thirty (30) day period, the party charged shall not be considered in default for purposes of termination or institution of legal proceedings.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if the alleged default is of such a nature that it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, the alleged defaulting party 17 shall not be deemed in default as long as such party commences to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
After notice and expiration of the thirty (30) day period, the other party to this Agreement, at its option, may institute legal proceedings pursuant to this Agreement.
In general, each of the parties hereto may pursue any remedy at law or equity available for the breach of any provision of this Agreement, except that City shall not be liable in monetary damages, unless expressly provided for this Agreement, to Owner, to any mortgagee or lender, or to any successors in interest of Owner or mortgagee or lender, or to any other person, and Owner covenants on behalf of itself and all successors in interest to the Property or any portion thereof, not to sue for damages or claim any damages;.
1) For any breach of this Agreement or for any cause of action which arises out of this Agreement; or
2) For the impairment or restriction of any right or interest conveyed or provided under, with, or pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any impairment or restriction which Owner characterizes as a regulatory taking or inverse condemnation; or
3) Arising out of or connected with any dispute, controversy or issue regarding the application or interpretation or effect of the provisions of this Agreement.
Nothing contained herein shall modify or abridge Owner’s rights or remedies (including its rights for damages, if any) resulting from the exercise by City of its power of eminent domain. Nothing contained herein shall modify or abridge Owner’s rights or remedies (including its rights for damages, if any) resulting from bad faith intentional acts, the grossly negligent or malicious acts of City and its officials, officers, agents and employees. Nothing herein shall modify or abridge any defenses or immunities available to City and its employees pursuant to the Government Liability Act and all other applicable statutes and decisional law.
Except as set forth in the preceding paragraph relating to eminent domain, Owner’s remedies shall be limited to those set forth in this Section.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, City covenants as provided in Civil Code Section 3300 not to sue for or claim any consequential damages or, in the event all or a portion of the Property is not developed, for lost profits or revenues which would have accrued to City as a result of the development of the Property.
18 b. Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge that money damages and remedies at law are inadequate, and specific performance and other nonmonetary relief are particularly appropriate remedies for the enforcement of this Agreement and should be available to all parties for the following reasons:
1) Except as provided in this Agreement, money damages are unavailable against City.
2) Due to the size, nature and scope of the Project, it may not be practical or possible to restore the Property to its natural condition once implementation of this Agreement has begun. After such implementation, Owner may be foreclosed from other choices it may have had to use the Property or portions thereof. Owner has invested significant time and resources and performed extensive planning and processing of the Project in agreeing to the terms of this Agreement and will be investing even more significant time and resources in implementing the Project in reliance upon the terms of this Agreement, and it is not possible to determine the sum of money which would adequately compensate Owner for such efforts; the parties acknowledge and agree that any injunctive relief may be ordered on an expedited, priority basis.
c. Release. Except for those remedies set forth in this Agreement, Owner, for itself, its successors and assignees, hereby releases City, its officers, agents and employees from any and all claims, demands, actions, or suits of any kind or nature arising out of any liability, known or unknown, present or future, based or asserted, pursuant to Article 1, Section 19 of the California Constitution, the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, or any other law or ordinance which seeks to impose any other liability or damage, whatsoever, upon City because it entered into this Agreement or because of the terms of this Agreement.
Owner acknowledges that it may have suffered, or may suffer, damages and other injuries that are unknown to it, or unknowable to it, at the time of its execution of this Agreement. Such fact notwithstanding, Owner agrees that the release provided in this Section shall apply to such unknown or unknowable claims and damages. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Owner acknowledges the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provide:
“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” Owner hereby waives, to the maximum legal extent, the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 and all other statutes and judicial decisions of similar effect.
19 Owners’ Initials
d. Termination of Agreement for Default of City. Owner may terminate this Agreement in the event of a default by City in the performance of a material term of this Agreement and only after providing written notice to City of default setting forth the nature of the default and the actions, if any, required by City to cure such default and, where the default can be cured, City has failed to take such actions and cure such default within sixty (60) days after the effective date of such notice or, in the event that such default cannot be cured within such sixty (60) day period but can be cured within a longer time, has failed to commence the actions necessary to cure such default within such sixty (60) day period and to diligently proceed to complete such actions and cure such default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that Owner deem it is necessary and/or advisable to cease operations in Porterville, then Owner may terminate this Agreement, and such termination shall be effective upon the date of written notice to the City.
e. Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. In any action or proceeding between City and Owner brought to interpret or enforce this Agreement, or which in any way arises out of the existence of this Agreement or is based upon any term or provision contained herein, the “prevailing party” in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party, in addition to all other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled pursuant to this Agreement, the prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation costs, in an amount to be determined by the court. The prevailing party shall be determined by the court in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1032. Fees and costs recoverable pursuant to this Section include those incurred during any appeal from an underlying judgment and in the enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action or proceeding.
f. Owner Default. No building permit shall be issued or building permit application accepted for any structure on the Property after Owner is determined by City to be in default of the terms and conditions of this Agreement until such default thereafter is cured by Owner or is waived by City. If City terminates this Agreement because of Owner’s default, then City shall retain any and all benefits, including money or land received by City hereunder.
17. Third Party Litigation
a. General Plan Litigation. City has determined that this Agreement is consistent with its General Plan. Owner has reviewed the General Plan and concurs with City’s determination.
City shall have no liability under this Agreement or otherwise for any failure of City to perform under this Agreement, or for the inability of Owner to develop the Property as contemplated by the Agreement, which failure to perform or inability to develop is as the result of a judicial determination that the General Plan, or 20 portions thereof, are invalid or inadequate or not in compliance with law, or that this Agreement or any of City’s actions in adopting it were invalid, inadequate, or not in compliance with the law.
b. Hold Harmless Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Owner hereby agrees to, and shall hold City, its elective and appointive boards, commissions, officers, agents, attorney's, contractors, consultants and employees harmless from any liability for damage or claims for damage for personal injury, including death, as well as from claims for property damage which may arise from Owner or Owner’s contractors, subcontractors, agents, or employees’ operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by Owner, or by any of Owner’s contractors, subcontractors, agents, or employees operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by Owner, or by any of Owner’s contractors, subcontractors, or by any one or more persons directly or indirectly employed by, or acting as agent for Owner or any of Owner’s contractors or subcontractors. Owner agrees to and shall defend City and its elective and appointive boards, commissions, officers, agents and employees from any suits or actions at law or in equity for damage caused, or alleged to have been caused, by reason of any of the aforesaid operations. c. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Owner shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless City and its elective and appointive boards, commissions, officers, agents, attorney's, contractors, consultants and employees against and from any and all liabilities, demands, claims, actions or proceedings and costs and expenses incidental thereto (including costs of defense, settlement and reasonable attorneys’ fees), which any or all of them may suffer, incur, be responsible for or pay out as a result of or in connection with any challenge to the legality, validity or adequacy of any of the following: (i) this Agreement and the concurrent and subsequent permits, licenses and entitlements approved for the Project or Property; (ii) the environmental impact report, mitigated negative declaration or negative declaration, as the case may be, prepared in connection with the development of the Property; (iii) any claims based on or alleging inverse condemnation by any person or entity with an interest in the Property; and (iv) the proceedings undertaken in connection with the adoption or approval of any of the above. In the event of any legal or equitable action or other proceeding instituted by any third party (including a governmental entity or official) challenging the validity of any provision of this Agreement or any portion thereof as set forth herein, the parties shall mutually cooperate with each other in defense of said action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the above, City, at is sole option, may tender the complete defense of any third-party challenge as described herein. In the event City elects to contract with special counsel to provide for such a defense, City shall meet and confer with Owner regarding the selection of counsel, and Owner shall pay all costs related to retention of such counsel. This Indemnification is provided in addition to that set forth in Section 7. d. Environmental Contamination. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Owner shall indemnify and hold City, its elective and appointive boards, commissions, officers, agents, attorney's, contractors, consultants and employees free and harmless from any liability, based or asserted, upon any act 21 or omission of Owner, its officers, agents, employees, subcontractors, predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and independent contractors, excepting and acts or omissions of City as successor to any portions of the Property dedicated or transferred to City by Owner, for any violation of any federal, state or local law, ordinance or regulation relating to industrial hygiene or to environmental conditions on, under or about the Property, including, but not limited to, soil and groundwater conditions, and Owner shall defend, at its expense, including attorneys’ fees, City, its officers, agents and employees in any action based or asserted upon any such alleged act or omission. City may in its discretion participate in the defense of any such claim, action or proceeding. This Indemnification is provided in addition to that set forth in Section 7.
The provisions of this Section do not apply to environmental conditions that predate Owner’s ownership or control of the Property or applicable portion; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not operate to bar, limit or modify any of Owner’s statutory or equitable obligations as an owner or seller of the Property.
e. City to Approve Counsel. With respect to this Section, City reserves the right to approve the attorney(s) which Owner selects, hires or otherwise engages to defend City hereunder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. f. Accept Reasonable Good Faith Settlement. With respect to this Section, City shall not reject any reasonable good faith settlement. If City does reject a reasonable, good faith settlement that is acceptable to Owner, Owner may enter into a settlement of the action, as it relates to Owner, and City shall thereafter defend such action (including appeals) at its own cost and be solely responsible for any judgment rendered in connection with such action. This Section applies exclusively to settlements pertaining to monetary damages or damages which are remedial by the payment of monetary compensation. Owner and City expressly agree that this Section does not apply to any settlement that requires an exercise of City’s police powers, limits City’s exercise of its police powers, or affects the conduct of City’s municipal operations.
g. Survival. The provisions of this Section inclusive, shall survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement.
18. California Environmental Quality Act
Owner shall pay all fees and reimburse City for any and all costs incurred by City related to project review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources Code, §§21000-21189.3, and the Guidelines for California Environmental Quality Act, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, §§15000-15387. If reasonably requested by City, Owner shall conduct and pay for any required CEQA reviews and analyses. The City has found that the proposed Project is Categorically Exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements under provisions of CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 – Existing Facilities. This exemption applies to projects 22 characterized as alterations to existing facilities meeting the conditions described in Section 15301.
19. Rules, Regulations, and Official Policies
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the rules, regulations, and official policies of City governing permitted uses of the land, governing density, and governing the design, improvements, and construction standards and specifications applicable to the development of the Project subject of this Agreement, shall be those rules, regulations, and official policies of City in force at the time of the execution of this Agreement. This Agreement does not prevent City, in subsequent actions applicable to the property, from applying new rules, regulations, and policies which do not conflict with those rules, regulations, and policies applicable to the property as set forth herein, nor does this Agreement prevent City from denying or conditionally approving any subsequent development project application based on such existing or new rules, regulations, or policies.

a. Periodic Review. City Council shall review this Agreement annually, on or before each anniversary of the Effective Date, in order to ascertain Owner’s good faith compliance with this Agreement. During the periodic review Owner shall be required to demonstrate good faith compliance with the terms of the Agreement, through submitting an annual monitoring report, records, or equivalent written materials to the Community Development Department. The Department will schedule a hearing on the periodic review of the Development Agreement on or following the anniversary of the Effective Date, but Owner has no obligation to compel such hearing, and no implication will be made to Owner’s detriment if a hearing is not in fact held. Owner shall document any request for an extension of the term due to delays beyond the control of Owner (see Section 25.i., “Force Majeure”).
23 b. Conditional Use Permit. For all intents and purposes, the Commercial Cannabis Permit to be issued under this Agreement shall be treated as if it were a Conditional Use Permit issued to Owner for the establishment and operation of its business. The operation of the business at all times shall be required to comply with the terms of this Agreement.
c. Special Review. City Council may order a special review of compliance with this Agreement at any time. The Community Development Director or his or her designee shall conduct such special review. During a special review, Owner shall be required to demonstrate good faith compliance with the terms of the Agreement. The burden of proof on this issue shall be on Owner. d. Review Hearing. At the time and place set for the review hearing, Owner shall be given an opportunity to be heard.

City shall not be bound by a Certificate if a default existed at the time of the periodic or special review, but was concealed from or otherwise not known to the Planning Director and City Council, regardless of whether the Certificate is relied upon by assignees or other transferees or Owner.
f. Failure to Conduct Review. City’s failure to conduct a periodic review of this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

a. Amendment or Cancellation. This Agreement may be amended, or canceled in whole or in part, only by the written mutual consent of the parties to this Agreement or their successors in interest.
b. Waiver. Waiver by City of any one or more of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall not be construed as waiver of any other term or condition under this Agreement.
c. Enforcement/Reserved Powers. Unless amended or canceled pursuant hereto, this Agreement shall be enforceable by any party hereto, or successor in interest thereto, notwithstanding any subsequent change in any applicable general or specific plan, zoning, subdivision or building regulation, or municipal code amendment adopted by City that conflicts with the terms of this Agreement.
However, this Agreement is subject to the City's "Reserved Powers." For purposes of this Agreement, "Reserved Powers" means the rights and authority excepted from this Agreement's restrictions on the City's police powers and which are instead reserved to the City. The Reserved Powers include the powers to enact regulations or take future discretionary actions after the Effective Date of this Agreement that: (1) are necessary to protect the public health and safety, and are generally applicable on a City-wide basis (except in the event of natural disasters as found by the City Council such as floods, earthquakes and similar acts of God); (2) are amendments to California Marijuana Laws or California Uniform Codes, as adopted by the City of Porterville, and/or the Porterville Municipal Code, as applicable, regarding the construction, engineering and design standards for private and public improvements to be constructed on the Site; (3) are necessary to comply with state or federal laws and regulations; or (4) involve sign and parking ordinances and guidelines, changes to the City’s zoning laws, Specific Plan or the City's General Plan, whether adopted previous or subsequent to the Effective Date of this Agreement).
If any City ordinance, rule or regulation or addition to the Porterville Municipal Code is enacted or imposed by a citizen-sponsored initiative or referendum after the Effective Date that would conflict with this Agreement or an associated Commercial Cannabis Permit, business license or other authorizations and City approvals, or reduce development rights or assurances provided to the Owner in this Agreement, then such changes, additions or deletions to the Porterville Municipal Code shall not be applied to the Site or 26 Project; provided, however, the parties acknowledge that the City's approval of this Agreement is a legislative action subject to referendum. The parties shall cooperate with each other and undertake such reasonable actions as may be appropriate to ensure this Agreement remains in full force and effect and is implemented in accordance with its terms and to the fullest extent permitted by state or federal law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, site improvements contemplated by this Agreement shall be completed pursuant to the City’s development standards and design guidelines. d. Joint and Several Liability. Owner shall be jointly and severally liable for any amount due under this Agreement, and any breach of this Agreement or failure to pay by one Party shall also constitute a breach of this Agreement by the other Party.
e. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is found to conflict with applicable state laws or regulations, such part shall be inoperative, null, and void insofar as it conflicts with said laws or regulations, or modified or suspended as may be necessary to comply with such state laws or regulations, but the remainder of this Agreement shall continue to be in full force and effect. f. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The execution of this Agreement may be by actual, facsimile, or electronic signature.
g. Jurisdiction. The law governing this Agreement shall be that of the State of California. The parties agree that this Agreement is entered into and to be performed in Tulare County, California.
h. Disclaimer. Despite California’s commercial cannabis laws and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or any Commercial Cannabis Permit issued pertaining to Owner or the property specified herein, California commercial cannabis possessors or business operators may still be subject to arrest by state or federal officers and prosecuted under state or federal law. The Federal Controlled Substances Act, 21 USC § 801, prohibits the manufacture, distribution, and possession of cannabis without any exemptions for medical use. i. Force Majeure. If delays are caused by unforeseen events beyond the control of Owner, such delays will entitle Owner to an extension of time as provided in this section. Such unforeseen events (“Force Majeure”) shall mean war, insurrection, acts of God, local, state or national emergencies, strikes and other labor difficulties beyond the party’s control, or any default by City hereunder, which Force Majeure event substantially interferes with the development, construction or operation of the Project.
27 j. Constructive Notice and Acceptance. Every person who after the Effective Date and recording of this Agreement owns or acquires any right, title, or interest to any portion of the Site, is and shall be conclusively deemed to have consented and agreed to every provision contained herein, whether or not any reference to this Agreement is contained in the instrument by which such person acquired an interest in the Site, and all rights and interests of such person in the Site shall be subject to the terms, requirements, and provisions of this Agreement. k. Binding Effect of Agreement. The Parties agree that the Recitals above are true and correct and intend to be bound by same. Except as otherwise provided, the burdens of this Agreement are binding upon, and the benefits of this Agreement inure to, all authorized successors-in-interest of the Parties and constitute covenants which run with the Site. In order to provide constructive notice thereof, the City Clerk will record this Agreement with the Tulare County Recorder within the period required by Government Code Section 65868.5. l. Project as a Private Undertaking. It is specifically understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto that the development of the Project is a private development, that neither party is acting as the agent of the other in any respect hereunder, and that each party is an independent contracting entity with respect to the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Agreement. No partnership, joint venture or other association of any kind is formed by this Agreement. The only relationship between the City and the Owner is that of a government entity regulating the development of private property and the owner of such property.
m. Changes to Project.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – FEBRUARY 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Adoption of Amended Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Citizen Participation Plan
SOURCE: Community Development
COMMENT: The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Program provides federally funded annual grants on a formula basis to entitled cities and counties throughout the nation to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires each jurisdiction that receives CDBG entitlement funding to prepare, adopt, and maintain a Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) in accordance with 24 CFR Part
91.105. The CPP establishes the policies and procedures by which residents and stakeholders may participate in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of CDBG-funded activities, including the City’s Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER), and any Substantial Amendments to those documents.
The Citizen Participation Plan is reviewed annually as part of the City’s required CDBG reporting process. As part of this review, staff evaluated the existing CPP and made amendments to update and clarify language, reduce redundancy, and consolidate information to improve readability and usability while maintaining full compliance with HUD requirements.
Any substantial amendments to the CPP require a minimum 30-day public comment period and City Council approval prior to submission to HUD. City Council review and adoption of the amended CPP is required before it may be included as part of the City’s Annual Action Plan submission to HUD.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:
1. Conduct a public hearing to receive public testimony; and
2. Adopt the amended Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Citizen Participation Plan.

CITY OF PORTERVILLE
CITIZENS’ ADVISORY AND HOUSING OPPORTUNITY
COMMITTEE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN
DRAFT Citizen Participation Plan
Revised January 2026
Purpose and Authority
The City of Porterville is a federal entitlement jurisdiction that receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
HUD regulations (24 CFR Part 91.105) require the City to adopt a Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) that describes how residents and stakeholders may participate in the development, implementation, and evaluation of the following HUD-required documents:
• Five-Year Consolidated Plan
• Annual Action Plan
• Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) • Substantial Amendments to these plans
This Citizen Participation Plan explains how the City will provide reasonable notice, access to information, and meaningful opportunities for public involvement—especially for low- and moderate-income (LMI) residents and other protected populations.
Definitions
• Action Plan (AP): The Action Plan summarizes the activities that will be undertaken in the upcoming Fiscal Year (FY) to meet the goals outlined in the Consolidated Plan. The Action Plan also identifies the federal and non‐federal resources that will be used to meet the goals of the approved Consolidated Plan.
• Citizen Participation Plan (CPP): The CPP provides guidelines by which the City will promote engagement in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the distribution of federal funds as outlined in the Consolidated Plan, Action Plan, and CAPERs. • Community Development Block Grant (CDBG): HUD’s CDBG program provides communities with resources to address a wide range of housing and community development needs that benefit very low- and low-income persons and areas. • Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER): The CAPER assesses the City’s annual achievements relative to the goals in the Consolidated Plan and proposed activities in the Action Plan. HUD requires the City to prepare a CAPER at the end of each fiscal year.
• Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD): HUD is the federal government agency that creates and manages programs pertaining to federal home ownership, affordable housing, fair housing, homelessness, and community and housing development.
2 • Displacement: Displacement refers to the involuntary relocation of individuals from their residences due to housing development and rehabilitation activities paid for by federal funds.
• Eligible Activity: Activities that are allowable uses of the CDBG funds covered by the CPP as defined in the Code of Federal Regulations Title 24 for HUD. • Entitlement Jurisdiction: A city with a population of at least 50,000, a central city of a metropolitan area, or a qualified urban county with a population of at least 200,000 that receives grant funding from HUD.
• Five-Year Consolidated Plan (Consolidated Plan): HUD requires entitlement jurisdictions to prepare a Consolidated Plan every five years. The Consolidated Plan is a strategic plan that identifies housing, economic, and community development needs and prioritizes funding to address those needs over a five‐year period. • Low and Moderate Income (LMI): As defined annually by HUD, Low and Moderate Income (LMI) is 0‐80 percent of area median family income (AMI) for a jurisdiction, with adjustments for smaller or larger families. This includes those individuals presumed by HUD to be principally LMI (abused children, battered spouses, elderly persons, severely disabled adults, homeless persons, illiterate adults, persons living with AIDS and migrant farm workers). HUD utilizes three income levels to define LMI households:
o Extremely low income: Households earning 30 percent or less than the AMI (subject to specified adjustments for areas with unusually high or low incomes) o Very low income: Households earning 50 percent or less than the AMI (subject to specified adjustments for areas with unusually high or low incomes) o Low and moderate income: Households earning 80 percent or less than the AMI (subject to adjustments for areas with unusually high or low incomes or housing costs) • Public Hearing: Public hearings are designed to provide the public the opportunity to make public testimony and comment. Public hearings related to the Consolidated Plan are to be advertised in local newspapers and made accessible to non‐English speakers and individuals with disabilities.
• Substantial Amendments: Amendments are considered “Substantial” whenever one of the following is proposed:
o A change in the allocation priorities or a change in the method of fund distribution o A substantial change which increases or decreases the amount allocated to a category of funding within the City’s entitlement grant programs by 25 percent o To implement an activity using CDBG funds for new programs that were not described in the Consolidated Plan
o To change the purpose or intended beneficiaries of an activity approved for CDBG funding, e.g., instead of primarily benefitting lower income households the activity instead proposes to benefit mostly moderate-income households Encouraging Broad Public Participation
The City is committed to encouraging participation from all residents, with special emphasis on:
• Low- and moderate-income persons
• Residents of assisted housing
3 • Minorities and persons with limited English proficiency • Persons with disabilities
• Elderly residents and persons experiencing homelessness Meetings are generally held at City Hall due to accessibility and central location. Translation services, assistive listening devices, and other reasonable accommodations are available upon request with advance notice.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – FEBRUARY 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Approval of Tentative Subdivision Map for the Morton Residential Development
SOURCE: Community Development
COMMENT: The City of Porterville received an application for a proposed land division for the Morton Residential Tentative Map, and staff met with the applicant during the Project Review Committee (PRC) on March 26, 2025, where the assessment of the project (PRC 2025-017) commenced. During the PRC meeting, staff provided comments pertaining to the proposed project, which outlined the entitlement process and departments’ development standards.
The project consists of a Tentative Subdivision Map (TSM) for the future residential development of APN 245-150-019, on an approximately 4.89-acre parcel on the southside of Morton Avenue, East of Westwood Street. The Porterville 2030 General Plan Land Use Element designates the Project site as Low Density Residential and is currently zoned RS-2 (Low Density Residential).
Development would generally include a subdivision of sixteen (16) residential lots, construction of a cul-de-sac and necessary on-site infrastructure, and improvements within abutting major street right-of-ways.
ANALYSIS: The proposed Tentative Subdivision Map would provide new residential housing on lots ranging from 7,300± SF to 19,200± SF. The proposed TSM is consistent with the Porterville Development Ordinance (PDO), Series 400: Land Division regulations. Circulation for the proposed development is provided through the planned internal streets, which include parkway strips, streetlights, and sidewalks. The subdivision provides an external connection to Morton Avenue through Red Oak Court with improvements that include a parkway strip and pedestrian sidewalk. The applicant has submitted a request to delineate from the development standards as outlined in Section 400.05 Authority to Vary Regulations, as it pertains to lot size and design for lots exceeding 2.5 times the width in which the Zoning Administrator made the determination that the variation is minimal and no Conditional Use Permit is required.
The project’s gross density is 3.27 units per acre, which falls below the maximum of 6.0 units per acre allowed in the Low Density Residential Land Use designation. The areas surrounding the project, east, north, and south, are all developed with single-family residential uses. The areas surrounding the project to the west are developed with rural residential use and a public school. The project’s development pattern is compatible with the area and falls well within the prescribed density mandated by the City’s General Plan.
The California Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Section 66410, et seq.) establishes most of the procedures for subdivision of land. Other components are contained within the Porterville Development Ordinance, Series 400: Land Division. Generally, a Tentative and Final Map is required in order to subdivide land into five or more parcels. Pursuant to both the Map Act and PDO Series 400, Tentative Maps are valid for twenty-four (24) months following approval, with various mechanisms available to extend the life of the Tentative Map.
The project would be responsible for the improvement of the new proposed residential street, Red Oak Court, along with payment of specified fair-share costs to other capital improvements, payment of development impact fees as applicable, and installation of a sidewalk on Red Oak Court to enhance pedestrian access.
Pursuant to Development Ordinance Section 400.04, the City Council must deny a tentative map if it makes any of the following findings:
1. That the proposed map is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans.
o The tentative map proposes 16 single-family residential lots on
4.89 acres for a density of 3.27 units per acre and therefore is consistent with the General Plan as proposed. There is no applicable specific plan.
2. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans.
o The design and improvement of the project are in accordance with the Circulation Element of the General Plan as well as with the development standards contained within the Development Ordinance, which is itself the primary tool for implementation of the General Plan. There is no applicable specific plan.
3. That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development. o The site is generally flat and level, making it optimal for the development as proposed.
4. That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
o The project proposes 3.27 units per gross acre under the maximum requirement of 6 units per gross acre in the lowdensity residential zone district.
5. That the design of the subdivisions or the proposed improvements is likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
o A formal environmental evaluation of the project determined that the project meets all the criteria of the Categorical Exemption Class 32 Infill Projects, and that no exceptions to a categorical exemption are applicable, as per CEQA Guidelines Section 15332. The project will not result in any significant effects to the environment or to fish or wildlife or their habitat.
6. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems.
o A formal environmental evaluation of the project determined that the project meets all the criteria of the Categorical Exemption Class 32 Infill Projects, and a categorical exemption is applicable, as per CEQA Guidelines Section 15332. The project will not result in any serious public health problems.
7. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. o With the possible exception of easements dedicated for major street right-of-way, which will be further dedicated and improved for the benefit of the public at large, there are no easements for access through or use of the property.
Based on a fair reading of the record, including the formal environmental evaluation of the project, there is no indication that any of the findings requiring denial of the tentative map can be made.
The proposed land division and subsequent development of the site into a residential subdivision will provide much-needed housing in conformance with the City’s General Plan Land Use and Housing Element, as well as to help meet the City of Porterville’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation quota. Staff and the applicants' agents have worked through the design details to ensure adherence to the City’s General Plan and the Development Ordinance, as well as verify compliance with the California Subdivision Map Act and other applicable codes.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: During the review of the project, the Environmental Coordinator made the preliminary determination that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment and that adoption of a CEQA Categorical Exemption under a 15332 In-Fill Development Projects declaration would be appropriate.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:
1. Conduct a public hearing to receive public testimony on the proposed Tentative Subdivision Map for the Morton Residential Development;
2. Find that the proposed Tentative Subdivision Map is
categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15332; and
3. Adopt a resolution approving the Tentative Subdivision Map for the Morton Residential Development, subject to the
conditions of approval.

Item No. 20.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – FEBRUARY 17, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of Amended Conditions of Approval for Villas at Della Farms Development Project
SOURCE: Engineering and Project Management
COMMENT: On May 6, 2025, following a duly noticed public hearing, the City Council approved the Della Farms Residential Development Tentative Subdivision Map via Resolution No. 45-2025 and adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration via Resolution No. 41-2025. The approved project consists of the subdivision of approximately 25.47 acres into 160 residential lots located at the southwest corner of East Morton Avenue and North Leggett Street.
Following additional review by the Engineering and Project Management Department and coordination with the project applicant, staff determined that modifications to the required right-of-way dedication and associated street improvements along East Morton Avenue, North Leggett Street, East Cleveland Avenue, and North Henry Street are necessary to better align with the City’s adopted Land Use and Circulation Element and current infrastructure standards.
Accordingly, staff recommends amending Condition No. 19 of Resolution No. 45-2025 in its entirety to read as follows:
19. The developer/applicant shall dedicate right-of-way for a street width that matches the ultimate width in the adopted Land Use and Circulation Element and/or the width established by the City Council, and dedication of required property for accessible ramp(s), sidewalk, etc.:
a. Morton Avenue is designated as a Major Arterial per the Circulation Element and right of way dedication will be required. The overall right of way width shall maintain 64' minimum between curbs, a 5' landscape strip measured from curb face, followed by a 5' sidewalk where the back of the sidewalk is the right of way. A 10' landscape easement behind the property line is required along with a block wall.
b. Leggett Street is designated as a Collector per the Circulation Element and right of way dedication will be required. The overall right of way width shall Item No. 20.
maintain 50' minimum between curbs, a 5' landscape strip measured from the face of curb, followed by a 5' sidewalk where the back of the sidewalk is the right of way. A 10' landscape easement behind the property line is required along with a block wall.
c. Cleveland Avenue, Henry Street and all interior streets shall maintain 36' minimum between curbs, a 5' landscape strip measured from the face of curb, followed by a 5' sidewalk where the back of the sidewalk is the right of way.
The entire north side of Cleveland Avenue is required by the subdivision and 28' of the road width; the City requests that the south side of Cleveland be completed from where the existing curb and gutter ends west of Sierra Vista Street all the way west out to Henry Street. The entire east side of Henry Street is required by the subdivision down to Cleveland Avenue; the City requests that the east side of Henry be completed from the Cleveland/Henry intersection all the way south to Putnam Avenue. The sidewalk along Putnam Avenue is to be removed and replaced to eliminate an existing jog in the improvement. This extra work is reimbursable.
d. Total area of dedication to be determined by a licensed surveyor.
The proposed amendment does not expand the project footprint, increase the number of lots, or intensify development beyond what was previously approved. The amendment refines right-of-way dedication and improvement requirements to ensure consistency with adopted circulation standards and current engineering practices.
The previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration adequately addressed the environmental impacts of the project. The proposed amendment does not result in new significant environmental impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts. Therefore, no additional environmental review is required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:
1. Conduct a public hearing to receive public testimony regarding the proposed amendment to the Conditions of Approval for the Villas at Della Farms Development Project;
2. Find that the proposed amendment is consistent with the previously adopted environmental document and that no further environmental review is required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and
3. Adopt a resolution approving the amended Conditions of Approval for the Villas at Della Farms Development Project.
