STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
In order for the Board of Commissioners of the Richmond Housing Authority to continue conducting virtual meetings and comply with the provisions of the Brown Act, it is
necessary for the Board of Commissioners of the
Richmond Housing Authority to make findings verifying
the need for the continuation of virtual meetings.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ADOPT a resolution requiring the continued use of
teleconferencing for the meetings of the Board of
Commissioners of the Richmond Housing Authority
pursuant to the provisions of AB 361 – City Clerk’s Office (Pamela Christian 510-620-6513).
AGENDA
REPORT
November 15, 2022
DISCUSSION:
Background
Beginning in March of 2020, the Governor issued a series of Executive Orders relaxing certain provisions of the Brown Act in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In short, those orders allowed local governments to conduct its meetings one hundred percent remotely, so long as members of the public still had the ability to view, listen and comment on items on the agenda. The most recent of these orders expired on September 30, 2021.
On September 16, 2021, the Governor signed into law AB 361, an urgency measure (meaning it became effective immediately) which largely continues the executive orders allowing for remote meetings. The Governor subsequently issued an order making the provisions of AB 361 effective beginning October 1, 2021.
Analysis of Assembly Bill (AB) 361
AB 361 contains several requirements in order to continue the use of remote meetings.
These include:
● There must be a state of emergency declared under the California Emergency Services Act. This effectively means the Governor must have declared the emergency.
● During the state of emergency, either state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, or that meeting in person would present an imminent risk to the health or safety of attendees. ● In order to continue to utilize remote meetings, the Council must reconsider the factors above every 30 days and adopt specified findings that the fact relied upon still exist.
As the attached resolution spells out, the State of California is still under an emergency declaration regarding COVID-19, state health officials continue to recommend social distancing to help stop the spread of the virus. The resolution applies to all of the City’s legislative bodies (as defined by the Brown Act) and will remain in effect for the next 30 days. The City will continue to update the findings every 30 days, in compliance with AB 361.

RESOLUTION NO. -22
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE HOUSING
AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF RICHMOND, CALIFORNIA, MAKING FINDINGS
REQUIRING THE CONTINUED USE OF TELECONFERENCING FOR MEETINGS
OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE RICHMOND HOUSING
AUTHORITY PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF AB 361
WHEREAS, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Governor adopted a series of Executive Orders allowing the legislative bodies of local governments to meet remotely via teleconference through September 30, 2021, so long as other provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act (“Brown Act”) were followed; and
WHEREAS, on September 16, 2021, the Governor signed into law as an urgency measure, AB 361 a bill that amends the Brown Act to allow local policy bodies to continue to meet by teleconferencing during a state of emergency without complying with restrictions in state law that would otherwise apply, provided that the policy bodies make certain findings at least once every 30 days; and
WHEREAS, , the Board of Commissioners of the Richmond Housing Authority has considered the current state of health guidance related to public meetings in Contra Costa County and finds it necessary to continue with remote meetings for the next 30 days to promote public health and safety; and
WHEREAS, the entire State of California remains under a proclaimed state of emergency as declared by the Governor of the state of California related to the COVID-19 pandemic; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners of the Richmond Housing Authority has met remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic and can continue to do so in a manner that allows public participation and transparency while minimizing health risks to members, staff, and the public who would be present with in-person meetings while this emergency continues.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Commissioners of the Housing Authority of the City of Richmond finds as follows:
1. As described above, the State of California and the City of Richmond remain in a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At this meeting the Board of Commissioners of the Richmond Housing Authority has considered the circumstances of the state of emergency; and
2. As described above State officials continue to recommend measures to promote physical distancing and other social distancing measures, in some settings; and
3. As described above meetings of this body in person would present imminent risks to the safety of attendees, and the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of members to meet safely in public; and:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED That, based on the findings required by Government Code section 549539(e), as amended by AB 361, the Board of Commissioners of the Richmond Housing Authority requires the continued use of teleconferencing for the next 30 days for all public meetings of the Board of Commissioners of the Richmond Housing Authority; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That all public meetings of the Board of Commissioners of the Richmond Housing Authority conducted by teleconferencing technology shall provide an opportunity for members of the public to address the body and otherwise occur in a manner that protects all statutory and constitutional rights of the public attending the meeting via teleconferencing, and;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED That the Clerk of the Board of Commissioners of the Richmond Housing Authority is directed to place a resolution substantially similar to this resolution on the agenda of a future meeting of the Board of Commissioners of the Richmond Housing Authority within the next 30 days.

Subject:
Legal Services Agreement with Sher Edling LLP
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Sher Edling LLP is being engaged on a contingency fee basis. The firm will advance costs incurred in connection with the firm’s representation of the City of Richmond
under the proposed legal services agreement.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
None.
STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
The law firm of Sher Edling LLP specializes in
representing public agencies in environmental cases and currently represents numerous cities in the Bay Area,
including Contra Costa County, in pending or
contemplated PCB litigation. The City of Richmond
wishes to contract with Sher Edling LLP on a contingency basis with the expectation the future recovery will help offset the millions of dollars the City will be required to spend to comply with the NPDES Permit requirements
related to PCB pollutant removal.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ADOPT a resolution authorizing the city manager to
execute a legal services agreement with Sher Edling LLP to represent the City of Richmond on a contingency fee
basis in litigation over PCB contamination – City
Attorney’s Office (Dave Aleshire 510-620-6509).
AGENDA
REPORT
November 15, 2022
DISCUSSION:
Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) are a group of manufactured chemicals that have been determined to have carcinogenic effects on fish, wildlife, and humans. Under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit issued by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board), the City of Richmond is required to remove PCBs from the environment by building infrastructure and implementing policies that remove PCBs from stormwater before it enters the City’s storm drain network and subsequently the creeks and the Bay.
As reported out after closed session on July 20, 2022, the City Council followed the lead of Contra Costa County and a growing number of Bay Area counties and cities by deciding to opt out of the settlement in the nationwide class action brought by public agencies against Monsanto Company, the manufacturer and seller of PCBs.
The law firm Sher Edling LLP specializes in representing public agencies in environmental cases. The firm’s emphasis is holding polluters accountable for the damage they cause. The firm currently represents numerous cities and several counties in the Bay Area, including Contra Costa County, in pending or contemplated PCB litigation against Monsanto.
Sher Edling LLP’s expertise and experience in the area of PCB litigation, and the firm’s representation of Contra Costa County in what will be regional litigation involving significant overlapping evidence for the public agencies in the region, the City Attorney recommends that the City enter into a legal services agreement with Sher Edling LLP on a contingency fee basis, with expectation that future recovery will help offset the millions of dollars the City will be required to spend to comply with NPDES Permit requirements related to PCB pollutant removal.
Contra Costa County already approved a legal services agreement with Sher Edling LLP with the same basic contingency fee structure set forth in the proposed agreement currently before the City Council. Under the proposed agreement (see Attachment 2), the firm will receive as compensation for its services between 7.5 percent and 18 percent of the net recovery Richmond receives in the litigation, depending on what stage of the litigation recovery occurs. The firm will upfront all litigation costs and will be reimbursed for those costs from any recovery Richmond receives in the litigation before attorneys’ fees are calculated. Both the attorneys’ fees and litigation costs are contingent, meaning that the City will have no obligation to pay the firm for its services or reimburse the firm for any litigation costs in the absences of a recovery in litigation.

1 LEGAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
THE CITY OF RICHMOND & SHER EDLING LLP
REGARDING PCB LITIGATION
1. IDENTIFICATION OF PARTIES. This Agreement is made between Sher Edling LLP (hereafter referred to as “Attorney”) and the City of Richmond, California (hereafter referred to as “Client”).
This Agreement is required by California Business and Professions Code section 6147 and is intended to fulfill the requirements of that section.
2. RETENTION OF FIRM RATHER THAN PARTICULAR ATTORNEY.
Client is retaining the law firm of Sher Edling LLP, not any particular attorney, and attorney services to be provided to Client will not necessarily be performed by any particular attorney.
3. AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CLIENT. Client designates t he Office of the City Attorney as the authorized representatives to direct Attorney and to be the primary individuals to communicate with Attorney regarding the subject matter of Attorney’s representation of Client under this Agreement. This designation is intended to establish a clear line of authority between Client and Attorney but not to preclude communication between Attorney and other representatives of Client.
4. LEGAL SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED. The legal services to be provided by Attorney to Client are as follows: Representation of Client with respect to the following matters (collectively, the “PCB Action”):

b. Claims and/or actions seeking equitable and legal relief, including but not limited to an abate ment fund, and /for damages sustained by Client as a result of actual or threatened contamination , and the past, present, and any future cost incurred to remove the Contaminants, including all writs and appeals related thereto.
5. LEGAL SERVICES SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED. It is the intent of the parties that Attorney will represent Client in a civil action or actions seeking equitable and legal relief, including but not limited to an abatement fund, damages , and/or injunctive relief in the appropriate court or courts of the State of California and/or the United States District Court, as well as, if requested by Client and agreed to by Attorney (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld), in any proceeding by writ or appeal related to that action. Legal services that are not to be provided by Attorney under this Agreement specifically include, but are not limited to, the following:
a. Proceedings before any state or federal administrative or governmental
City of Richmond
PCB Legal Services Agreement
2 agency, department, or board. However, with Client’s permission Attorney may elect to appear at administrative proceedings to protect Client’s rights in this litigation, without Client being assessed any additional attorney’s fee in connection with such appearance. This exclusion would not apply to any proceeding determined necessary to exhaust administrative remedies.
b. Defending any legal action(s) against Client or its employees commenced by any person, with the exception of any cross complaints or counter claims filed in the PCB Action described in Paragraph 4. This exclusion would not apply to any legal action filed against Client or Client’s employees arising out of the PCB Action.
c. Execution proceedings on any judgment.
d. Any action with respect to any dispute arising under or concerning this Agreement.
If Client wishes to retain Attorney to provide any legal services for matters excluded from this Agreement, a separate written agreement between Attorney and Client may be required which may require compensation to Attorney in addition to that set forth in Paragraph 8. Alternatively, Client would always have the option to engage other counsel to provide such legal services.
6. RESPONSIBILITIES OF ATTORNEY AND CLIENT. Attorney will perform the legal services called for under this Agreement, keep Client inform ed of material progress and developments, and respond to Client’s inquiries and communications.
Attorney will work at all times under the direction and control of the Office of the City Attorney, which shall have the power to control and supervise the litigation. As the Client’s chief legal officer, and subject to the review and approval , to the extent required, by the Governing Body, the Office of the City Attorney shall retain complete and final authority and control over all aspects of the PCB Action, including specifically (but not limited to) the following:
• decisions regarding settlement of the case are reserved exclusively to the discretion of Client and the Office of the City Attorney;
• any defendant in the PCB Action may contact the Office of the City Attorney directly, without having to confer with Attorney;
• The Office of the City Attorney will retain complete c ontrol over the course and conduct of the PCB Action;
• The Office of the City Attorney retains a veto power over any decisions made by Attorney; and
• Attorneys from the Office of the City Attorney’s office with supervisory authority shall be personally involved in overseeing the litigation at all times.
Client will be truthful and cooperative with Attorney and keep Attorney informed of developments. Attorney will present status reports to Client as events reasonably warrant or at the reasonable request of Client. Attorney and Client mutually acknowledge that Attorney needs to be informed about Client’s plans and anticipated decisions that may materially affect the PCB Action.
Attorney and Client mutually acknowledge that nothing in this Agreement is intended to interfere
City of Richmond
PCB Legal Services Agreement
3 with Client’s decisions or judgments concerning the design, operation, or maintenance of its remediation decisions. Accordingly, Attorney and Client will work to assure that each keeps the other fully and timely informed about matters that affect the other. Attorney and Client will work to assure that each keeps the other fully and timely informed about matters that affect the other and Attorney shall consult in advance with and obtain the prior approval of the Office of the City Attorney concerning all substantive aspects of the PCB Action. Additionally, Attorney shall not make or distribute any press releases without the express permission and consent of the Office of the City Attorney.
7. CLIENT RETENTION OF DOCUMENTS. Client acknowledges its responsibility to undertake all necessary effort to identify, preserve, and retain documents concerning potential claims or defenses related to the PCB Action. Additionally, Client will suspend all document destruction policies and implement a litigation hold as necessary to ensure the preservation of relevant documents as advised by Attorney. This litigation hold applies to hard- copy documents; electronically stored data, including backup tapes, legacy systems, and metadata; calendars and planners; and data from text messaging, blogs and social networking sites. This includes preserving all relevant data, regardless of whether it is contained on business or personal computers, personal digital assistants, cell phones etc. The documents need to be preserved in the form in which they currently exist. Client represents that it has not altered or destroyed any relevant documents relating to the subject matter of the litigation since the time it first suspected that litigation on its behalf was likely. Client shall cooperate with Attorney in locating, preserving, and reproducing its records which may be material to the investigation, discovery, prosecution, and trial in the PCB Action.
8. ATTORNEY’S FEES. The compensation that Attorney will receive for the legal services to be provided under this Agreement will consist of a contingent fee.
a. The Contingent Fee.
Attorney will receive the following contingent fee from any Net Recovery (as defined below):
(i) Seven- and one-half percent (7.5%) of the Net Recovery if a settlement is obtained within 6 months of filing the complaint;
(ii) Fifteen percent (15%) of the Net Recovery if such Net Recovery is obtained before the first formal designation of exchange of expert witness es.
Attorney will provide Client with reasonable notice of the date on which formal designation will be required in the case; or
(iii) Eighteen percent (18%) of any Net Recovery obtained thereafter.
Attorney’s Contingency Fee = Contingency Percentage * Net Recovery
b. Definition of Net Recovery.
City of Richmond
PCB Legal Services Agreement
4 “Net Recovery” means the total present value of any Recovery (as defined in paragraph 8(c) of this Agreement, whether by settlement, arbitration award, or court judgment) and after the deduction of “Costs” (as defined in Paragraph 10 of this Agreement) at the Conclusion of Services as defined in Paragraph 16. “Net Recovery” shall not include any court awarded costs or attorney’s fees received by Client from any third party, except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 8(g) below.
The Net Recovery is multiplied by the appropriate percentages set forth in Paragraph 8(a) to calculate the contingent fee.
Net Recovery = Cash Recovery + Value of Non-Cash Recovery – Costs
c. Definition of Recovery.
“Recovery” means the sum of any “Cash Recovery” plus any “Non- Cash Recovery” (as those terms are defined herein) without reduction or adjustment for “Costs” (as defined in Paragraph 10 of this Agreement). For purposes of this Agreement, “Contested Judgment” refers to any final (including conclusion of any appeals) contested court order or judgment or contested arbitration award; “Settlement” refers to Recoveries obtained pursuant to any voluntary agreement, whether by settlement, mediation, or court stipulation.
d. Cash Recovery.
“Cash Recovery” means, without limitation, the total monetary amount received (whether by Contested Judgment or Settlement) as a result of the PCB Action. This definition specifically contemplates an abatement fund, funded by defendant(s) , arising out of an equitable judgment or settlement.
(i) “Partial Cash Recovery” means any Cash Recovery obtained prior to the complete resolution of the PCB Action, which recovery shall be used, first, to pay unreimbursed Costs advanced up to the date of such Partial Cash Recovery and, second, to pay any fees that Client owes to Attorney up to the date of such Partial Cash Recovery. Unless Attorney and Client agree otherwise in writing, any remaining Partial Cash Recovery received prior to the final resolution of the PCB Action shall be placed in a trust account administered by Attorney for the benefit of Client. The funds in this trust account may be drawn upon by Attorney to pay for any future Costs incurred in the PCB Action and/or for any f uture fees owed by Client to Attorney.
e. Non-Cash Recoveries.
(i) “Non-Cash Recovery” means, without limitation, the fair market value of any property delivered or potentially to be delivered to Client, services provided or potentially to be provided for Client’s benefit, and any other non-cash benefit including but not limited to injunctive and/or equitable relief (other than an abatement fund which is defined as a “Cash Recovery” above), conferred on Client as a result of the PCB Action. Client
City of Richmond
PCB Legal Services Agreement
5 understands that a resolution of the PCB Action may involve defendants agreeing to provide Client with one or more non- monetary goods and services, for example (by way solely of illustration) an agreement to build green infrastructure, provide consulting services, or to provide other goods and/or services. The terms of a Contested Judgment or Settlement may be that such non-monetary goods and services are only to be delivered to Client in the event that certain circumstances come to pass (e.g., the Contaminants exceed certain minimum thresholds). However, even if there is no certainty about whether or not the non- monetary goods and services will ever be delivered, Client understands that any agreement or requirement for defendants to provide such non- monetary goods and services has value to Client (analogous to an insurance contract) and that Attorney will be entitled to a contingent fee on that value.
(ii) Before the acceptance of any settlement offer that involves a Non -Cash Recovery, Attorney agrees to provide Client with an estimate of the value of the settlement offer and a calculat ion of the fee due on the settlement offer. Client will respond in writing, indicating whether or not Client accepts Attorney’s estimate of the value of the settlement of the offer and the calculation of the fee due. If Client wishes to pursue the settlement offer further but chooses not to accept the provided estimate and calculation of the fee due, the parties shall proceed as set forth in Paragraph 8( i) (“Disagreements Concerning Value of Recoveries”).
f. Payments Outside of Net Recovery
Recovery is intended to alleviate and offset the Client’s anticipated regulatory and remediation costs related to PCBs, which would otherwise be paid from public funds . However, even with a net fiscal benefit, payment from public funds may present logistic al challenges. This provision is intended to address those concerns. This scenario only arises if Attorneys’ fees cannot be paid directly from the Recovery.
In the event that any judgment and interpretation of this Agreement results in the Client having to pay a Contingent Fee from its own funds, rather than out of the Net Recovery and Client’s Contingent Fee is greater than either $10 million dollars in any given year or $20 million dollars in total, then Attorney and Client will meet in good faith to re ach an agreement that minimizes the financial burden on Client while ensuring Attorney receives the fee provided by this Agreement. Should the parties fail to reach an agreement Attorney and Client agree to mediation pursuant to Paragraph 8(h) before resorting to litigation or any other dispute resolution procedure.
Should Recovery be secured in aggregate for the group of plaintiffs , Attorney will not be involved in the allocation of Recovery among co- permittees. To the extent the Contingent Fee must be paid from Client’s own funds on a portion of an aggregate recovery (rather than collected from the Net Recovery itself prior to disbursement to co-permittees), Client and co-permittees will agree on the allocation of funds within six (6) months of settlement or judgment and provide such allocation in writing to Attorney so the corresponding Contingent Fee(s) may be determined.
City of Richmond
PCB Legal Services Agreement
6 g. Fees on Future Recovery following Contested Judgment.
Should Recovery following a contested judgment (whether Cash, Non- Cash, or a combination of the two) provide for payment or performance in the future (which may consist of one or several payments or performance over a period of time) , Client shall select one of the following options for payment of Attorney Fees . Client shall make this s election in writing. If Client fails to elect an option, the lump sum provision (subparagraph (i) of this paragraph) will apply. Fees paid on Recovery resulting from settlement or arbitration , rather than contested judgment, will be paid pursuant to Paragraph 16.
For purposes of calculating the net present value (“NPV”) of any Cash Recovery or Non- Cash Recovery under this Agreement the discount rate shall be the interest rate of the ninety -one (91) day treasury bill as reported by the United States Federal Reserve in the weekly Federal Reserve Statistical Release closest in time to the date of the Recovery for which the NPV is being calculated.
(i) Lump Sum: Client will pay attorney’s fees in a lump sum , based on the present value of the Recovery, at the applicable contingency fee rate.
Lump sum payment = ( Contingency Fee) * ( NPV of Cash Recovery + NPV of Non-Cash Recovery – Costs)
(ii) Annual Installments Over Three Years: Client will pay attorney’s fees in three (3) annual installments , each comprising a third of the total fees due in accordance with Paragraph 8(a). The Parties may mutually agree on a different payout term in writing.
Annual payment over three years = [Contingency Fee * ( NPV of Cash Recovery + NPV Value of Non-Cash Recovery – Costs)] ÷ 3
(iii) Payment on Periodic Recovery with Ten Year Due Date: If Recovery is structured as a series of annual or other periodic awards to Client, Client will pay attorney’s fees at the time the periodic awards, either Cash or Non- Cash, are received. Periodic payments shall be (30%) of the value of the periodic award when received by Client and shall be paid until attorney’s fees are paid in full.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client’s deadline to pay Attorney’s fees in full is ten (10) years from the date Attorney’s services conclude pursuant to Paragraph 16. If the total attorney fees are not paid by year 10, the final payment (i.e., the payment due at Year 10) shall incorporate all remaining fees due (“Remainder Payment”).
Each year, the parties will agree upon and confirm, in writing, the value of all Recovery received, all Recovery remaining, and the total attorney’s fees
City of Richmond
PCB Legal Services Agreement
7 paid and outstanding.
Periodic payment = 30% * ( Periodic Cash Recovery + Value of Periodic Non-Cash Recovery)
Remainder Payment = [Contingency Percentage * (Value of Cash and Non-Cash Recovery Received + NPV of Remaining Cash and Non -Cash Recovery – Costs)] – Attorney’s Fees Paid To Date
h. Reasonable Fee if Contingent Fee Unenforceable.
In the event the contingent fee portion of this Agreement is determined to be unenforceable for any reason or Attorney is prevented from representing Client on a contingent fee basis, Client shall pay a reasonable fee for the services rendered. The parties shall use best efforts to negotiate a reasonable fee. If they cannot do so, the fee shall be determined by mediation proceedings before the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS), with any costs of such proceedings born equally by the Client and Attorney, or, if mediation proves unsuccessful, by appropr iate court action in accordance with Paragraph 26. Such reasonable fee shall take into account, among other things, the specific expertise of Attorney with regard to the PCB Action as well as the risk that Attorney took on by agreeing to represent Client a nd advance all litigation Costs in return for a contingency fee.
i. Disagreements Concerning Value of Recoveries.
In the event the parties disagree with respect to the value of any Cash or Non- Cash Recovery they shall proceed as follows: Each party shall within 45 days select an appraiser qualified to conduct an appraisal of the value of the Recovery or settlement offer. Each party’s selected appraiser shall then confer and within 30 days select a third qualified appraiser, who shall determine the value of the Recovery within 90 days. The third appraiser’s valuation shall be final and binding on the parties regardless of the fact that such valuation may be an estimate or may be subject to further refinement or analysis. Client and Attorney shall each bear the expense of its own selected appraiser, and Client and Attorney shall share equally the expenses of the third appraiser.
j. Court-Awarded Attorneys’ Fees.
Client may obtain an award from the court of attorneys’ fees and/or Costs in the PCB Action. For example, certain claims may arise under statutes that provide for an award of attorneys’ fees. Attorney agrees that if such an award is allowed for under the law then it will endeavor to pursue such an award from the Court on behalf of Client and defend Client against any claims that it owes defendants’ attorney fees. Any order awarding fees and/or Costs shall not affect Client’s obligation to pay contingency fees in accordance with this Agreement.
Any attorney’s fee awarded by the court in connection with the PCB Action shall not be considered part of the “Net Recovery” for purposes of calculating Attorney’s contingent fee. Any Court-awarded Costs shall also not be considered part of the “ Net Recovery” for purposes of
City of Richmond
PCB Legal Services Agreement
8 calculating Attorney’s contingent fee. Any court award of fees received by Attorney shall be applied as a credit against Client’s obligation to pay Attorney’s contingent fee under this Agreement, and any court award of Costs to Attorney shall be applied as a credit against Client’s obligation to reimburse Attorney for Costs under this Agreement. If the court-awarded fees exceed the fee to which Attorney would otherwise be entitled, Attorney’s fee shall be the amount of the court-awarded fee.
k. Negotiated Fee.
Client understands that the attorney’s fee set forth in this Agreement is not set by law but rather is negotiable between Attorney and Client.
9. DIVISION OF ATTORNEY’S FEES / CO-COUNSEL.
a. Attorney may decide to retain another attorney or law firm as associate counsel. Such other attorney or law firm may be compensated by Attorney for the reasonable value of the services performed such as on an hourly or per diem basis and not necessarily on a contingency basis; such payment shall be the sole responsibility of Attorney and shall not be charged back to Client as a Cost or otherwise. Client understands that, under the Rules of Professional Conduct of the State Bar of California, such a division may be made only with Client’s written consent after a full disclosure to Client in writing that a division of fees will be made and of the terms of such division.
A decision by Attorney to retain associate counsel shall be subject to Client’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
b. Client has the authority to retain additional outside consultants, including additional legal counsel, to assist the City of Richmond with the PCB Action. Any such retention shall be at Client’s sole expense and shall not be considered “Costs” as defined in paragraph 10.
10. COSTS.
a. Attorney to advance costs. Attorney will advance the Costs (as defined in this paragraph 10) incurred in connection with Attorney’s representation of Client under this Agreement.
b. Authorized costs. The Client authorizes Attorney to incur reasonable Costs and to retain consultants or expert witnesses reasonably necessary in Attorney’s and the Office of the City Attorney ’s judgment. Such Costs include, but are not limited to, court filing fees, deposition costs, expert, consultant, and investigator fees and expenses, investigation costs, transportation, meals and lodging for out -of-town travel, messenger service fees, photocopying expenses, and process server fees. Costs shall not include full or part -time employees (e.g. paralegals and law clerks) Instead, Costs shall be specific and confined to representation of Client.
Costs shall be accounted for as they are incurred by Attorney. There shall be no mark-up attached.
As such, Attorney and Client are jointly incentivized to keep Costs to a minimum. Items that are not to be considered Costs, and that must be paid by Client without being either advanced or
City of Richmond
PCB Legal Services Agreement
9 contributed to by Attorney, include, but are not limited to, Client’s expense incurred in providing information to counsel or defendants and damages claimed by others in the litigation and other parties’ costs, if any, that Client is ultimately required to pay.
Regarding expert costs, Attorney and Client shall meet and confer regarding selection and retention of experts in the PCB Action and Client shall be inf ormed of the persons chosen and their charges. Client shall not unreasonably withhold approval of selection and retention of such experts.
c. In the event of Recovery for Client, Client will reimburse Costs. In the event Client obtains Recovery (whether by settlement, arbitration, judgment or otherwise) and pursuant to Paragraph 16 (Conclusion of Services) , Client shall pay Costs within sixty (60) days of a final accounting provided by Attorney unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing. Any Client funds in the Attorney trust account may be put towards any unpaid balance of Costs.
d. In the event of judgment for defendants, Attorney bears risk of costs .
To the extent permitted by law and to the extent not based on the conduct of Client or th e City of Richmond, Attorney will bear the risk of any defense costs taxed against Client in the event of an adverse ruling (such as sanctions for spoliation of evidence) or Contested Judgment for defendants in the PCB Action. As used in this section, “conduct” means the (1) failure to perform the terms of this Agreement; or (2) any intentional, reckless, or negligent conduct which diverges from th e Attorney’s recommended course of action and which results in either an adverse ruling or a Contested Judgment for defendants. The application of this provision as to a discrete adverse ruling does not necessarily implicate this provision as to a Contested Judgment.
e. Periodic statements of costs. Attorney will provid e Client with periodic statements of Costs incurred in the PCB Action at approximately quarterly intervals or at such other frequency as mutually agreed between Client and Attorney. At any time, Client may communicate with Attorney regarding Attorney’s est imates with regard to Costs that may be incurred in the future.
f. Client expenses. Expenses incurred by Client in connection with retention of additional consultants, including outside counsel and/or experts, shall be paid for by Client and shall not be considered Costs for purposes of this Agreement.
11. REPRESENTATION OF ADVERSE INTERESTS. If Attorney had a relationship with another party involved in the PCB Action, or with someone who would be substantially affected by the PCB Action, the Rules of Professional Conduct would require Attorney to disclose that to Client so that Client could evaluate whether that relationship causes Client to have any concerns over Attorney’s loyalty, objectivity or ability to protect Client’s confidential information.
Client u nderstands that currently, and from time to time, Attorney represents other municipalities, governmental agencies, governmental subdivisions, or other public or private individuals and/or entities in other actions or similar litigation where the defendants may be the same or similar to the defendants in the PCB Action, and that such work is a focus of Attorney’s
City of Richmond
PCB Legal Services Agreement
10 practice. Client understands that Attorney would not take on this engagement if it required Attorney to forego representations like those described above. However, Client understands that damages collected from one or more of the same defendants in other suits prosecuted by Attorney could, theoretically, reduce the amount of money available from these same defendants in the PCB Action. Client was given an opportunity to confer with its own separate and independent counsel about this matter and has determined that it is in its own best interests to waive any and all potential or actual conflicts of interest which may occur as the result of Attorney’s c urrent and continuing representation of cities and other public and/or private entities in similar litigations, because it enables Client to obtain the benefits of Attorney’s expertise. Therefore, Client consents that Attorney may continue to handle such w ork, and may take on similar new clients and matters, without disclosing each such new matter to Client or seeking the consent of Client while representing Client. Attorney would not, of course, take on such other work if it required Attorney to be directly adverse to Client while Attorney was still representing Client in the PCB Action. In the event that Attorney represents other plaintiffs in similar litigation, costs that are incurred for the joint benefit of several plaintiffs shall be allocated, if possible, between the cases pro rata based on each plaintiff’s share of the recovery, or if such pro rata cost sharing based on recovery is not possible, then on a reasonable pro rata basis agreed upon between Client and Attorney.
12. SETTLEMENT. Decisions regarding settlement of the case are reserved exclusively to the discretion of Client and the City of Richmond. Attorney will not settle Client’s claim without the approval of Client, who will have the absolute right to accept or reject any settlement. Attorney will notify Client of the terms of any settlement offer received by Attorney.
13. ORDER OR AGREEMENT FOR PAYMENT OF ATTORNEY’S FEES OR COSTS BY ANOTHER PARTY. The court may order, or the parties to the dispute may agree, that another party will pay some or all of Client’s attorney’s fees, costs, or both. Any such order or agreement will not affect Client’s obligation to pay contingency fees and Costs under this Agreement. However, subject to Paragraph 8 (contingent fee), any such amounts actually received by Attorney will be credited against Attorney’s fees or Costs, respectively, incurred by Client.
14. DISCHARGE OF ATTORNEY. Client may discharge Attorney at any time by written notice effective when received by Attorney. Unless specifically agreed by Attorney and Client, Attorney will provide no further services and advance no further Costs on Client’s behalf after receipt of the notice. If Attorney is Client’s attorney of record in any proceeding, Client will execute and return a substitution-of-attorney form immediately on its receipt from Attorney.
In the event Attorney is discharged without cause before the termination of the litigation, Client shall (1) reimburse Attorney for any and all Costs advanced by Attorney not later than thirty (30) days from receipt of a final cost accounting from Attorney, and (2) upon termination of the litigation, pay Attorney a fee consisting of the reasonable value of Attorney’s services performed up to the point of the discharge. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit Client’s rights and remedies in the event of a discharge of Attorney for cause.
15. WITHDRAWAL OF ATTORNEY. Attorney may withdraw from representation of Client: (a) with Client’s consent, (b) upon court approval, or (c) if no court action is filed, for good cause upon reasonable notice to Client. Good cause includes, but is not limited to, Client’s
City of Richmond
PCB Legal Services Agreement
11 breach of this Agreement, Client’s refusal to cooperate with Attorney, or any other fact or circumstance that would render Attorney’s continuing represent ation unlawful or unethical.
Notwithstanding Attorney’s withdrawal for cause, Client will remain obligated to pay Attorney out of the Recovery a reasonable Attorney’s fee for all services provided, and to reimburse Attorney for all reasonable Costs advanced before the withdrawal.
Attorney may terminate this Agreement at any time, without cause, by giving to Client not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice of termination, said notice to specify the effective date of the termination. Where Attorney terminates this Agreement without cause, Attorney shall not be entitled to the recovery of any Attorney fee or Costs, regardless of the status of the PCB Action, and regardless of whether or not any amounts of Recovery have been or are subsequently received by Client.
16. CONCLUSION OF SERVICES. When Attorney’s services conclude, whether by completing the terms of this Agreement or by discharge (under Paragraph 14) or withdrawal (under paragraph 15), all unpaid charges (including fees under Paragraph 8 and C osts under Paragraph 10) will immediately become due and payable , unless otherwise provided herein. Attorney will notify Client in writing of the conclusion of services and provide an accounting of costs, fees, and other charges due. Attorney is authorized to apply any Client funds held in Attorney’s client trust account to pay unreimbursed advanced Costs. Nothing in this Paragraph shall be construed as inconsistent with the other provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to Paragraphs 8 and 10.
17. LIEN. Except in situations where Attorney withdraws or is discharged, such situations being governed by Sections 14 and 15, Client hereby grant Attorney a lien on any and all claims or causes of action that are the subject of Attorney’s fee and/or Costs advanced under this Agreement. Attorney’s lien will be for any sums owing to Attorney for any unpaid Costs (under Paragraph 10) or fees (under Paragraph 8) at the conclusion of Attorney’s services. The lien will attach to any Recovery Client may obtain, whether by arbitration award, judgment, settlement or otherwise.
18. RELEASE OF CLIENT’S PAPERS AND PROPERTY. At the termination of services under this Agreement, Attorney will release to Client on request all of Client’s papers and property. Client’s papers and property include correspondence, deposition transcripts, exhibits, experts’ reports, legal documents, physical evidence, and other items in possession of Attorney reasonably necessary to Client’s representation.
19. CONFIDENTIALITY. This Agreement establishes the relation of attorney-client between the parties hereto. Attorney shall hold all money and property of Client in trust for Client’s benefit, with all funds deposited and managed in Attorney’s client trust account as required by law, shall not divulge Client’s confidences, and shall be entitled to the candid cooperation of all Client’s employees in all matters related to the assigned files and any related actions. This Agreement shall be privileged and confidential subject to Business and Professions Code section 6149 and Evidence Code section 952 and 954.
20. DISCLAIMER OF GUARANTEE. Although Attorney may offer an opinion
City of Richmond
PCB Legal Services Agreement

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
In order for the City Council to continue conducting virtual meetings and comply with the provisions of the Brown
Act, it is necessary for the City Council to make findings verifying the need for the continuation of virtual meetings.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ADOPT a resolution requiring the continued use of
teleconferencing for the meetings of all City legislative bodies pursuant to the provisions of Assembly Bill 361 – City Clerk’s Office (Pamela Christian 510-620-6513).
AGENDA
REPORT
November 15, 2022
DISCUSSION:
Background
Beginning in March of 2020, the Governor issued a series of Executive Orders relaxing certain provisions of the Brown Act in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In short, those orders allowed local governments to conduct its meetings one hundred percent remotely, so long as members of the public still had the ability to view, listen and comment on items on the agenda. The most recent of these orders expired on September 30, 2021.
On September 16, 2021, the Governor signed into law AB 361, an urgency measure (meaning it became effective immediately) which largely continues the executive orders allowing for remote meetings. The Governor subsequently issued an order making the provisions of AB 361 effective beginning October 1, 2021.
Analysis of Assembly Bill (AB) 361
AB 361 contains several requirements in order to continue the use of remote meetings.
These include:
● There must be a state of emergency declared under the California Emergency Services Act. This effectively means the Governor must have declared the emergency.
● During the state of emergency, either state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, or that meeting in person would present an imminent risk to the health or safety of attendees. ● In order to continue to utilize remote meetings, the Council must reconsider the factors above every 30 days and adopt specified findings that the fact relied upon still exist.
As the attached resolution spells out, the State of California is still under an emergency declaration regarding COVID-19, state health officials continue to recommend social distancing to help stop the spread of the virus. The resolution applies to all of the City’s legislative bodies (as defined by the Brown Act) and will remain in effect for the next 30 days. The City will continue to update the findings every 30 days, in compliance with AB 361.
DOCUMENTS ATTACHED:
Attachment 1- Resolution requiring the continued use of teleconferencing for the meetings of all City legislative bodies pursuant to the provisions of AB 361
Reso. No. 139-22
RESOLUTION NO. -22
RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RICHMOND, CALIFORNIA,
MAKING FINDINGS REQUIRING THE CONTINUED USE OF
TELECONFERENCING FOR MEETINGS OF ALL CITY OF RICHMOND
LEGISLATIVE BODIES PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF AB 361
WHEREAS, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Governor adopted a series of Executive Orders allowing the legislative bodies of local governments to meet remotely via teleconference through September 30, 2021, so long as other provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act (“Brown Act”) were followed; and
WHEREAS, on September 16, 2021, the Governor signed into law as an urgency measure, AB 361 a bill that amends the Brown Act to allow local policy bodies to continue to meet by teleconferencing during a state of emergency without complying with restrictions in state law that would otherwise apply, provided that the policy bodies make certain findings at least once every 30 days; and
WHEREAS, on behalf of all legislative bodies of the City of Richmond that are subject to the Brown Act, the Richmond City Council has considered the current state of health guidance related to public meetings in Contra Costa County and finds it necessary to continue with remote meetings for the next 30 days to promote public health and safety; and
WHEREAS, the entire State of California remains under a proclaimed state of emergency as declared by the Governor of the state of California related to the COVID-19 pandemic; and
WHEREAS, the City Council and all other legislative bodies of the City of Richmond have met remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic and can continue to do so in a manner that allows public participation and transparency while minimizing health risks to members, staff, and the public who would be present with in-person meetings while this emergency continues.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the City Council of the City of Richmond finds as follows:
1. As described above, the State of California and the City of Richmond remain in a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At this meeting the Richmond City Council has considered the circumstances of the state of emergency; and
2. As described above State officials continue to recommend measures to promote physical distancing and other social distancing measures, in some settings; and
3. As described above meetings of this body in person would present imminent risks to the safety of attendees, and the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of members to meet safely in public; and:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED That, based on the findings required by Government Code section 549539(e), as amended by AB 361, the City of Richmond requires the continued use of teleconferencing for the next 30 days for all public meetings of the Richmond City Council and all City of Richmond boards, commissions, committees and subcommittees subject to the Brown Act; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That all City public meetings subject to the Brown Act conducted by teleconferencing technology shall provide an opportunity for members of the public to address the body and otherwise occur in a manner that protects all statutory and constitutional rights of the public attending the meeting via teleconferencing, and;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED That the City Clerk is directed to place a resolution substantially similar to this resolution on the agenda of a future meeting of the City Council within the next 30 days.

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
There have been repeated complaints from residents in

coming from the Richmond Port industries throughout the night. The City has an obligation to resolve this issue by regulating these industries in the interest of the health and well-being of our residents.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: DIRECT staff to bring a report to the City Council in December that addresses ways to regulate the major
noise issues coming from Port Industries -
Councilmember Gayle McLaughlin (510-620-6636).

Over the past two years, residents in the Marina Bay area have repeatedly complained about the noise impact from Port industries that they are having to endure. They have expressed that the situation is out of control at this point and the impacted residents of AGENDA
REPORT
November 15, 2022
Marina Bay, and likely other neighborhoods, are suffering because of the nearly nonstop noise and particulate pollution coming from these industries at the Port. The situation has grown intolerable over the last few years, and even more so in recent months, with the rail traffic and the shipments dramatically increasing. The Port and Marina Bay neighborhood directly interface each other, and something needs to be done to address this critical problem as soon as possible. Studies have shown that sleep deprivation has a strong correlation with health and well-being. Residents are talking about moving out of Richmond due to the relentless noise. They have stated that the Port now operates around the clock -- noisy shipments of coal and industrial oils, etc.
City staff is already starting to work on looking at ways to resolve this (whether through an implementation of our noise ordinance, through mitigations/conditions/regulations by way their Port leases, or through other methods). This item directs staff to come back to the City Council in December with a report-back on how best to address this situation.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: APPROVE an Amendment No. 2 of the Rebuilding Together East Bay-North (RTEBN) contract to extend the
term to January 31, 2023, and increase the contract limit by $166,504.72, for a new total contract limit not to

Community Development (Lina Velasco/Jesus Morales
510-620-6649).
DISCUSSION:
The Housing Division is seeking City Council approval of a two-month extension of the current Rebuilding Together East Bay-North contract to continue providing encampment services and job opportunities for the unhoused. The original sole source contract was approved by the City Council on July 27, 2021. An Amendment No. 1 for time only was approved on August 1, 2022, to extend the term until November 30, 2022.
City staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Unhoused Services in August 2022. Responses were received for a range of services, including street outreach, hygiene interventions, employment programs, housing navigation, and operation of emergency interventions such as emergency shelters, safe parking programs, and cabin communities. City staff are working on evaluating the responses/qualifications received to recommend contracts and services to the City Council in support of unhoused residents of Richmond based on needs.
City staff are requesting that the current RTEBN contract be extended for two months to allow staff time to review and rank the qualifications received. This is necessary to continue to provide services at Castro and other encampments in the City.
Currently RTEBN, via their program Safe Organized Spaces (SOS), is providing the following services at encampments specified by the City:
1. Cleanup of trash and dumping
2. Mobile showers
3. Portable toilets and drinking water
4. Providing outreach to address local situations to improve public safety
5. Providing workforce training and job opportunities for the unhoused population
In addition, over the past year, SOS has created job opportunities for encampment dwellers, and some have successfully transitioned to stable housing.
The funds remaining in the current contract will be exhausted by November 30, 2022. In order to continue providing encampment services and job opportunities for two more months, additional funding of $166,504.72 is needed.

City of Richmond - Insurance Requirements - Type 2:
Professional Services
Type 2 – Page 3 of 3
Revised: September 2011
Claims-Made Policies
If any insurance policy is written on a claims-made form: 1) the retroactive date must be shown, and must be before the date of the contract or the beginning of contract work. 2) Insurance must be maintained and evidence of insurance must be provided for at least five (5) years after completion of the contract of work. 3) If coverage is canceled or non-renewed, and not replaced with another claims-made policy form with a retroactive date prior to the contract effective date, the Contractor must purchase an extended period coverage for a minimum of five (5) years after completion of contract work.
Subcontractors
CONTRACTOR
shall include all subcontractors as insured under its policies or shall furnish to the City for review and approval, separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverage for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.
CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and indemnify the City of Richmond for any damage resulting to it from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain the required insurance policies.
The fact that
insurance is obtained by CONTRACTOR, and/or CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors, will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONTRACTOR, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this contract. Damages recoverable by CITY from CONTRACTOR or any third party will not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage.
Verification of Coverage
All original certificates and endorsements shall be received and approved by the City before work may begin .
The City of Richmond reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies including endorsements affecting the coverage at any time.
Original insurance certificates and required policy endorsements shall be mailed or delivered to the Designated Project Manager for the City of Richmond.
Insurance certificates and endorsements may be faxed to the Designated Project Manger. However, CONTRACTOR must mail the original certificates and endorsements to Designated Project Manager once faxed.
Continuous Coverage
CONTRACTOR shall maintain the required insurance for the life of the contract. Should the CONTRACTOR cease to have insurance as required during this time, all work by the CONTRACTOR pursuant to this agreement shall cease until insurance acceptable to the City is provided. In the event that CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the City’s insurance requirements, the City may take such action as it deems necessary to protect the City’s interests. Such action may include but is not limited to termination of the contract, withholding of payments, or other actions as the City deems appropriate.
If services or the scope of work extend beyond the expiration dates of the required insurance policies initially approved by the City, CONTRACTOR must provide updated certificates and endorsements indicating that the required coverage, terms and conditions are still in place. Renewal certificates and updated endorsements shall be mailed to the Designated Project Manager.
Cancellation
CONTRACTOR shall ensure that coverage shall not be cancelled, reduced or otherwise materially changed except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice has been given to the City.
Reporting Requirements
Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies including breaches of warranties shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its officers, officials, employees or volunteers.
Consistent with Public Policy
The insuring provisions, insofar as they may be judged to be against public policy shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms and provisions herein may be consistent with public policy and thus enforceable.
SHOULD ANY OF THE ABOVE DESCRIBED POLICIES BE CANCELLED BEFORE
THE EXPIRATION DATE THEREOF, NOTICE WILL BE DELIVERED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE POLICY PROVISIONS.

The failure to so obtain such license shall be a material breach of this Contract and grounds for immediate termination by City; provided, however, that City may waive the business license requirement in writing under unusual or extraordinary circumstances without necessitating any modification of this Contract to reflect such waiver.
12. Termination Without Default. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, City may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without cause, terminate this Contract at any time prior to completion by Contractor of the project or services hereunder, immediately upon written notice to Contractor.

Additionally, in the event of such termination, the City may proceed with the work in any reasonable manner it chooses.
General Conditions/EJ/TE 01-19-11 6 of 13

Contractor shall be compensated as provided in Section 12 of these General Conditions; provided, however, there shall be deducted from such amount the amount of damage, including attorney's fees, expert witness fees and costs, if any, sustained by City by virtue of Contractor's breach of this Contract. Additionally, in the event of such termination, the City may proceed with the work in any reasonable manner it chooses.
14. Conflict of Interest
. Contractor acknowledges, represents and warrants
that Contractor shall avoid all conflicts of interest (as defined under any federal, state or local statute, rule or regulation, or at common law) with respect to this Contract. Contractor further acknowledges, represents and warrants that no City official or employee has any economic interest, as defined in Title 2, California Code of Regulations §§ 18703.1 through 18703.5, with Contractor that would invalidate this Contract. Contractor acknowledges that in the event that Contractor shall be found by any judicial or administrative body to have any conflict of interest (as defined above) with respect to this Contract, all consideration received under this Contract shall be forfeited and returned to City forthwith. This provision shall survive the termination of this Contract for one (1) year.
15. Indemnification.
(a) If this Contract is a contract for design professional services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8(a) and Contractor is a design professional, as defined in California Civil Code Section 2782.8(b)(2), Contractor shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify the City, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, and expenses including attorneys’ fees arising out of, or pertaining to, or relating to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor, except where caused by the active negligence, sole negligence, or willful misconduct of the City. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall immediately defend and indemnify the City and its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers from and against any and all liabilities, regardless of nature or type, that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor, or its employees, agents, or subcontractors.
Liabilities subject to the duties to defend and indemnify include, without limitation, any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, and judgments; associated investigation and administrative expenses; defense costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees; court costs; and costs of alternative dispute resolution. Contractor’s obligation to
General Conditions/EJ/TE 01-19-11 7 of 13
indemnify applies unless it is finally adjudicated that the liability was caused by the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of an indemnified party.
(b) If this Contract is not a contract for design professional services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8(a) or Contractor is not a design professional as defined in California Civil Code Section 2782.8(b)(2), Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers from any and all claims, suits, or actions of every name, kind and description, brought forth on account of injuries to or death of any person or damage to property arising from or connected with the willful misconduct, negligent acts, errors or omissions, ultra-hazardous activities, activities giving rise to strict liability, or defects in design by Contractor or any person directly or indirectly employed by, or acting as, the agent for Contractor in the performance of this Contract, including the concurrent or successive passive negligence of the City, its officers, agents, employees or volunteers.
(c) It is understood that the duty of Contractor to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Contractor shall be obligated to defend, in all legal, equitable, administrative, or special proceedings, with counsel approved by the City, the City and its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers, immediately upon tender to Contractor of the claim in any form or at any stage of an action or proceeding, whether or not liability is established. An allegation or determination that persons other than Contractor are responsible for the claim does not relieve Contractor from its separate and distinct obligation to defend under this Section 15. The obligation to defend extends through final judgment, including exhaustion of any appeals. The defense obligation includes an obligation to provide independent counsel if Contractor asserts that liability is caused in whole, or in part, by the negligence or willful misconduct of an indemnified party. (d) The review, acceptance or approval of the Contractor’s work or work product by any indemnified party shall not affect, relieve or reduce the Contractor’s indemnification or defense obligations. This Section 15 survives completion of the services or the termination of this Contract.
The provisions of this Section 15 are not limited by, and do not affect, the provisions of this Contract relating to insurance.
(e) Acceptance of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Contract does not relieve Contractor from liability under this Section
15. This Section 15 shall apply whether or not such insurance policies are determined to be applicable to any such damages or claims for damages.
16. Safety. Contractor acknowledges that the City is committed to the highest standards of workplace safety. Contractor shall perform all work hereunder in full compliance with applicable local, state and federal safety requirements including but not limited to Occupational Safety and Health Administration requirements, and shall assume sole and complete
General Conditions/EJ/TE 01-19-11 8 of 13
responsibility for the safety of Contractor's employees and any subContractor's employees. If a death, serious personal injury or substantial property damage occurs in connection with the performance of this Contract, Contractor shall immediately notify the City by telephone.
17. Insurance. Insurance requirements are set forth in Exhibit F to this Contract. Contractor shall abide by the insurance requirements set forth in said Exhibit F.
18. Non-Liability of Officials and Employees of the City. No official or employee of the City shall be personally liable for any default or liability under this Contract.
19. Compliance with Laws. Contractor shall comply with all federal, state and local laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations, and the orders and decrees of any courts or administrative bodies or tribunals, with respect to this Contract, including without limitation environmental laws, employment discrimination laws and prevailing wage laws. Compliance under this provision includes compliance with all provisions of the Richmond Municipal Code ("Municipal Code"), including Chapters 2.50, 2.52, 2.56, and 2.60, if applicable.
Contractor acknowledges that under § 2.60.070 of the Municipal Code ("Living Wage Ordinance"), Contractor shall promptly provide to City documents and information verifying its compliance with the Living Wage Ordinance. Also as prescribed in § 2.60.070, Contractor shall notify each of its affected employees with regards to the wages that are required to be paid pursuant to the Living Wage Ordinance.
Contractor shall comply with § 2.28.030 of the Municipal Code, obligating every Contractor or subcontractor under a contract or subcontract with the City for public work or for goods or for services to refrain from discriminatory employment or subcontracting practices on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, religious creed, national origin or ancestry of any employee, any applicant for employment or any potential subcontractor.
Contractor acknowledges that the City’s Drug Free Workplace Policy, Violence in the Workplace Policy and the Policy Against Workplace Harassment, are available on the City’s website at
http://www.ci.richmond.ca.us/workplacepolicies
. Contractor agrees to
abide by the terms and conditions of said policies.
20. Limitations upon Subcontracting and Assignment. This Contract binds the heirs, successors, assigns and representatives of Contractor. The Contractor shall not enter into subcontracts for any work contemplated
General Conditions/EJ/TE 01-19-11 9 of 13
under this Contract and shall not assign this Contract, nor any portion hereof or monies due or to become due, without the prior written consent of the City Council or its designee.
Contractor acknowledges that the services which Contractor shall provide under this Contract are unique, personal services which, except as otherwise provided herein, Contractor shall not assign or sublet to any other party without the prior written approval of City, which approval may be withheld in City's sole and absolute discretion. In the event that City, in writing, approves any assignment or subletting of this Contract or the retention of subcontractors by Contractor, Contractor shall provide to City upon request copies of each and every subcontract contract prior to the execution thereof by Contractor and subcontractor. Any assignment by Contractor of any or all of its rights under this Contract without first obtaining City's prior written consent shall be a default under this Contract.
The sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of any of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Contractor (if applicable), or of the interest of any general partner or joint venturer or syndicate member if Contractor is a partnership or joint-venture or syndicate, which shall result in a change of control of Contractor, shall be deemed an assignment. For this purpose, control shall mean fifty percent or more of the voting power or twenty-five percent or more of the assets of the corporation, partnership or joint-venture.
21. Integration. This Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes any previous oral or written agreement; provided, however, that correspondence or documents exchanged between Contractor and City may be used to assist in the interpretation of the Exhibits to this Contract.

24. Non-exclusivity. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the services provided by Contractor hereunder shall be non-exclusive, and
General Conditions/EJ/TE 01-19-11 10 of 13
City reserves the right to employ other Contractors in connection with the project.

All Exhibits hereto are made a part hereof and incorporated herein by reference; provided, however, that any language in Exhibit A which does not pertain to the project description, proposal, scope of services, or method of compensation (as applicable) , or any corresponding responsibilities of City, shall be deemed extraneous to, and not a part of, this Contract.
26. Force Majeure
. Neither party hereto shall be considered in default in the performance of its obligations hereunder to the extent that the performance of such an obligation is prevented or delayed by reason of acts of God, strikes, boycotts, lock-outs, inability to procure materials not related to the price thereof, failure of power, restrictive governmental laws and regulations enacted after the date of this Contract, riots, civil unrest, acts of terrorism, insurrection, war, declaration of a state or national emergency or other reasons of a like nature not within the reasonable control of such party.
27. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Contract. Contractor and City agree that any time period set forth in Exhibit A represents their best estimates with respect to completion dates and both Contractor and City acknowledge that departures from the schedule may occur.
Therefore, both Contractor and City will use reasonable efforts to notify one another of changes to the schedule.

Original, signed certificates and original, separate policy endorsements, naming the City as an additional insured for general liability, as well as a waiver of subrogation for Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall be received and approved by the City before any work may begin. However, failure to do so shall not operate as a waiver of these insurance requirements.
City reserves the right to modify or require additional coverages for specific risk exposures depending on scope of CONTRACTORS work.
Minimum coverage is detailed below. The policy limits of coverage shall be made available to the full limits of the policy. The minimum limits stated herein shall not serve to reduce the policy limits of coverage of CONTRACTOR.

Subcontractors
CONTRACTOR shall include all subcontractors as insured under its policies or shall furnish to the City for review and approval, separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverage for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.
CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and indemnify the City of Richmond for any damage resulting to it from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain the required insurance policies. The fact that insurance is obtained by CONTRACTOR, and/or CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors, will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONTRACTOR, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this contract. Damages recoverable by CITY from CONTRACTOR or any third party will not be limited by the amount of the required insurance coverage.
Verification of Coverage
All original certificates and endorsements shall be received and approved by the City before work may begin.
The City of Richmond reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies including endorsements affecting the coverage at any time.
Original insurance certificates and required policy endorsements shall be mailed or delivered to the Designated Project Manager for the City of Richmond.
Insurance certificates and endorsements may be faxed to the Designated Project Manager. However, Contractor must mail the original certificates and endorsements to Designated Project Manager once faxed.

CONTRACTOR shall maintain the required insurance for the life of the contract. Should the CONTRACTOR cease to have insurance as required during this time, all work by the CONTRACTOR pursuant to this agreement shall cease until insurance acceptable to the City is provided.

Such action may include but is not limited to termination of the contract, withholding of payments, or other actions as the City deems appropriate.

Consistent with Public Policy
The insuring provisions, insofar as they may be judged to be against public policy shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms and provisions herein may be consistent with public policy and thus enforceable.

Maintenance of proper insurance coverage is a material element of the contract. Failure to maintain or renew coverage or to provide evidence of renewal may be treated by the City as a material breach of contract.
CONTRACTOR agrees that in the event of loss due to any of the perils for which it has agreed to provide Commercial General Liability insurance, CONTRACTOR shall look solely to its insurance for recovery.
CONTRACTOR hereby grants to CITY, on behalf of any insurer providing Commercial General Liability insurance to either CONTRACTOR or CITY with respect to the services of CONSULTANT herein, a waiver of any right to subrogation which any such insurer of said CONTRACTOR may acquire against the CITY by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.
Original, signed certificates and original, separate policy endorsements, naming the City as an additional insured for general liability coverage, as well as a waiver of subrogation for Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall be received and approved by the City before any work may begin.

City reserves the right to modify or require additional coverages for specific risk exposures depending on scope of CONTRACTORS work.

Subcontractors
CONTRACTOR shall include all subcontractors as insured under its policies or shall furnish to the City for review and approval, separate certificates and endorsements for each subcontractor. All coverage for subcontractors shall be subject to all of the requirements stated herein.
CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and indemnify the City of Richmond for any damage resulting to it from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain the required insurance policies. The fact that insurance is obtained by CONTRACTOR, and/or CONTRACTOR’s subcontractors, will not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of CONTRACTOR, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this contract.

In the event that CONTRACTOR fails to comply with the City’s insurance requirements, the City may take such action as it deems necessary to protect the City’s interests. Such action may include but is not limited to termination of the contract, withholding of payments, or other actions as the City deems appropriate.
If services or the scope of work extend beyond the expiration dates of the required insurance policies initially approved by the City, CONTRACTOR must provide updated certificates and endorsements indicating that the required coverage, terms and conditions are still in place. Renewal certificates and updated endorsements shall be mailed to the Designated Project Manager.
Cancellation

Reporting Requirements
Any failure to comply with reporting or other provisions of the policies including breaches of warranties shall not affect coverage provided to the City, its officers, officials, employees or volunteers.
Consistent with Public Policy
The insuring provisions, insofar as they may be judged to be against public policy shall be void and unenforceable only to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms and provisions herein may be consistent with public policy and thus enforceable.

DATE: November 15, 2022
TO: Mayor Butt and Members of the City Council
FROM:
Shasa Curl, City Manager
Lizeht Zepeda, Senior Business Assistance Officer
Subject:
Grant Funding from the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District (BAAQMD)
FINANCIAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact. The expenditures will be reimbursed by the $1,003,250 BAAQMB shore power grant.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
N/A
STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
City staff is seeking authorization to ratify and appropriate grant funding from the Bay Area Air Quality Management
District (BAAQMD).
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ACCEPT and APPROPRIATE the $1,003,250 grant
award from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) to the City of Richmond’s Port Division - City Manager’s Office, Economic Development (Shasa
Curl/Lizeht Zepeda 510-620-6653).
DISCUSSION:
The City of Richmond’s Port Division has been awarded a $1,003,250 grant for shore power installation at Berths 7 and 8 at the Point Potrero Marine Terminal, Port of Richmond.
AGENDA
REPORT
November 15, 2022
The project will consist of the purchase and installation of the major infrastructure for shore power at Berths 7 and 8. These berths are currently active with the Port’s tenant, Auto Warehousing Company (AWC). AWC imports automobiles from Japan and China.
AWC receives one (1) or two (2) vessels a week for their roll-on/roll-off operations.
Shore power install will reduce the diesel emissions from vessels when docked. Once installed, having electrical power from the shore to a ship while docked will allow the vessel's auxiliary engines to be turned off and the burning of fuel, based on hydrocarbons to cease.
The funding comes from the State’s Volkswagen Mitigation Trust Fund Zero-Emission Freight and Marine Program grant. Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Trust was established as part of a settlement reached between the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and Volkswagen for VW’s use of illegal diesel vehicles.
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) is administering the grant.
The Zero-Emission Freight and Marine Program provides funding for the replacement of airport ground support equipment (“GSE”), forklifts, port cargo handling equipment (“CHE”), the repower of marine engines to zero-emissions, and installation of shore power at berths in Regulated California Waters.
On May 28, 2021, the Port affirmed it is an “eligible applicant” under the Program for installation of shore power at berths category. The Air District confirmed the eligibility for Program funding based on cost-effectiveness, the Program Guidance, and the information provided on the City’s application. As part of the requirement, the City entered into a grant agreement with BAAQMD in July 2022. The Port will have until November 15, 2023, to install the shore power at Berths 7 and 8.
By January 1, 2025, the California Air Resources Board requires that roll-on and roll-off vessels implement measures to reduce oxides of nitrogen (NOx), reactive organic gases (ROG), particulate matter (PM), diesel particulate matter (DPM), and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while docked at berth. These funds will help the Port meet this goal.

RECITALS
1) The Volkswagen (“VW”) Environmental Mitigation Trust (“Trust”) was established as part of a settlement reached between the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and Volkswagen for VW’s use of illegal defeat devices in certain 2.0-liter and 3.0-liter diesel vehicles. Through the Trust, funding will be awarded to Eligible Mitigation Actions as prescribed in the settlement’s Consent Decree that are intended to fully mitigate the excess NOx emissions caused by VW’s use of illegal emissions testing defeat devices in subject diesel vehicles.
2) The California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) is the designated Lead Agency acting on the State’s behalf as beneficiary to implement California’s share of Trust funds totaling approximately $423 million. 3) On May 25, 2018, CARB approved the Beneficiary Mitigation Plan for California, which contains the eligible mitigation actions (or project funding categories) that will be funded from the State’s allocation of the VW Trust, describes the goals and basic requirements for each category, and designated the Air District as the statewide administrator for the Zero-Emission Freight and Marine Projects category. 4) On March 13, 2019, CARB and the Air District executed a grant agreement (Grant Number: G18-VWM- 02), pursuant to which Air District will administer VW Trust funds statewide for the Zero-Emission Freight and Marine Projects category.
5) The Zero-Emission Freight and Marine Program (“Program”) provides funding for the replacement of airport ground support equipment (“GSE”), forklifts, port cargo handling equipment (“CHE”), the repower of marine engines to zero-emissions, and installation of shore power at berths in Regulated California Waters. On May 12, 2021, following CARB’s approval, the Air District first released the Program Guidance for Zero-Emission Freight and Marine Program (“Program Guidance”) to describe requirements, applicant and project eligibility, application process, evaluation criteria, reporting, inspection, implementation and operation, and other requirements and subsequently updated the Program Guidance on the program website at https://www.californiavwtrust.org/zero-freight-marine/ on May 28, 2021. The Grantee has affirmed it is an “eligible applicant” under the Program and has affirmed that it shall comply with all Program requirements set forth in the Zero-Emission Freight and Marine Program Solicitation (“Program Guidance”), which are incorporated herein and made a part hereof by this reference as if fully set forth herein.
