RECOMMENDED ACTION: HOLD a public hearing to ADOPT a resolution approving the Engineer’s Report and ordering the levy and
collection of assessments in the Hilltop Landscape
Maintenance District for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 providing for a three percent increase in annual assessments –
Public Works Department (Daniel Chavarria 510-620-

DISCUSSION:

The Hilltop Landscape Maintenance District (HLMD) was established in 1986 and subsequently reauthorized on June 23, 1998, through Resolution No. 91-98, to provide landscaping and maintenance services within the Hilltop area of Richmond. The District encompasses residential, commercial, industrial, and vacant properties located in the vicinity of Hilltop Mall, Richmond Parkway, Atlas Road, and surrounding areas.

The District provides for the maintenance and servicing of landscaped medians, street trees, open space areas, parks, sound walls, irrigation systems, signage, trails, and related facilities. Maintenance activities include landscape maintenance, irrigation repairs, graffiti removal, litter control, sound wall maintenance, and upkeep of District amenities and infrastructure.

As directed by the City Council, the City Engineer caused the preparation of the Annual Levy Report for the Hilltop Landscape Maintenance District for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 (“Engineer’s Report”). The Engineer’s Report describes the improvements and services to be maintained within the District and estimates the costs associated with providing those services during the upcoming fiscal year.

The Engineer’s Report recommends increasing assessments by three percent (3%) from Fiscal Year 2025-2026, as authorized under Resolution No. 91-98. The proposed increase is necessary to help offset increases in maintenance, utility, operational, and administrative costs associated with maintaining District improvements and services.

On June 2, 2026, the City Council approved the preliminary Engineer’s Report, declared its intention to levy and collect assessments for Fiscal Year 2026-2027, and scheduled a public hearing for June 23, 2026. Notice of the public hearing and proposed assessment increase was provided in accordance with applicable law.

The attached resolution adopts the Engineer’s Report and orders the levy and collection of assessments in the Hilltop Landscape Maintenance District for Fiscal Year 2026- 2027.

Introduction
Executive Summary
Since 1986, the Hilltop Landscape Maintenance District assessment has successfully funded enhanced maintenance and servicing of landscaping within the District’s boundaries, in the Hilltop area of Richmond. This Engineer’s Report and the associated resolutions, along with City Council approval, are legislatively required components of the annual continuation of this funding. The total proposed assessments for 2026-27 are listed below:
2026-27 Total Proposed Assessments
Zone Description Total Asmt
1 Hilltop Mall Road/adjoining streets $535,934
2 Richmond Parkway West Residential/Commercial Area $610,249 3 Atlas Road Industrial Area $84,020
Total Assessment $1,230,202
For 2026-27, this Report’s budgetary analysis supports the typical and maximum allowable 3% adjustment to the rates for each of the three zones, as follows:
2026-27 Proposed Rates
Zone Land Use Proposed Rate Unit
1 All $1,343.93 acre
2 Single Family Detached $433.52 unit
2 Cluster Home $260.11 unit
2 Other $1,972.52 acre
3 All $320.80 acre
This Report is required to separate and quantify the special versus general benefits, and supports a finding that the minimum general benefit contribution requirement to be paid by the City (or any source other than the assessed properties) is $113,822. The City’s 2026-27 contribution of $257,870 more than satisfies this requirement. 988

Final Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

Overview
The City of Richmond’s Hilltop Landscape Maintenance District (“Hilltop LMD” or the "District") provides maintenance and servicing of landscaping along public streets and in easements and public right of ways immediately adjacent to and within the District, including general landscaping, street trees, play lots, recreational parks, open space, trail and wetlands. The District is located in the northern portion of Richmond, and includes commercial, industrial, vacant and residential parcels in the vicinity of the Hilltop Mall and the Richmond County Club. The maintenance and servicing of landscaping improvements are primarily associated with Hilltop Drive, Blume Drive, Hilltop Mall Road, Magazine Street, Hilltop Lake Park Open Space, Lake Drain Pumping systems, Richmond Parkway North Open Space, San Pablo Lake Drain Pumping systems, Richmond Parkway North Open Space, San Pablo Avenue, the Richmond I-80 Interchange, Industrial Park Open Space, and Atlas Drive - West.

To ensure the proper flow of funds for the ongoing operation, maintenance, and servicing of improvements that were constructed as a condition of development within various subdivisions, the City Council, through the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (1972 Act), formed the Hilltop Landscape Maintenance District. The 1972 Act also permits the creation of benefit zones within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement" (Sec. 22547). Therefore, because there are varying degrees of benefit within the various subdivisions and developments, the City Council established three benefit zones.

The Hilltop Landscape Maintenance District was originally established in 1986 by the City Council and was reauthorized, based on the requirements of Proposition 218, on June 23, 1998 by Resolution No. 91-98.

Beginning in 2018-19, SCI Consulting Group assumed the role of Assessment Engineer for the Hilltop LMD. SCI conducted a parcel audit to confirm boundaries, parcels, rates, assessment and other attributes with the District, and made recommendations and minor adjustments. Also, SCI reviewed the previous Engineer’s Report made adjustments and improvements on approach and content, and drafted this document. SCI Consulting Group has continued to provide annual administration services since 2018-19. 989

Benefit Zones Introduction
The District is divided into three distinct geographic benefit zones, referred to as Zone 1, Zone 2 and Zone 3. Each benefit zone has a separate budget pertaining to its respective improvements being maintained, but share some administrative resources for the preparation of the Engineer’s Report, Council Reports, Resolutions, etc.

Zone 1 (Hilltop Mall Road/adjoining streets)
Includes: Hilltop Mall Road and adjoining streets; Blume Drive; Auto Plaza; Richmond Parkway; Hilltop Plaza; the Summit and Bay View Apartment complex; Lakeside Drive Residential Area; and the Lakeside Drive Industrial Area. This zone includes approximately 99 parcels.

Zone 2 (Richmond Parkway West Residential/Commercial Area) Includes: Richmond Parkway West Residential/Commercial Area. This zone includes approximately 1,162 parcels.

Zone 3 (Atlas Road Industrial Area)
Includes: Atlas Road Industrial Area. This zone includes approximately 22 parcels.

Legal Analysis
Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v Santa Clara County Open Space Authority
In July of 2008, the California Supreme Court issued its ruling on the Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v. Santa Clara County Open Space Authority (“SVTA vs.

SCCOSA”). This ruling is the most significant court case in further legally clarifying the substantive assessment requirements of Proposition 218, which was approved by California voters in 1996. Several of the most important elements of the ruling included further emphasis that:
 Benefit assessments are for special, not general, benefit  The services and/or improvements funded by assessments must be clearly defined
 Special benefits are directly received by and provide a direct advantage to property in the Improvement District
 The assessment paid by property should be proportional to the special benefits it receives from the Improvements
990
City of Richmond
Hilltop LMD
Final Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

This Engineer’s Report and the process used to establish the continuation of the assessments for fiscal year 2026-27 are consistent with the SVTA decision and with the requirements of Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution based on the following factors:

1. The Improvements which are constructed and maintained with assessment proceeds in the District are located in close proximity to the real property subject to the assessment. The Improvements provide landscaping and other services to the residents of such assessed property. The proximity of the Improvements to the assessed parcels provides a special benefit to the parcel being assessed pursuant to the factors outlined by the Supreme Court in that decision.

2. Due to their proximity to the assessed parcels, the Improvements financed with assessment revenues in the District benefit the properties in that District in a manner different in kind from the benefit that other parcels of real property in the City derive from such Improvements, and the benefits conferred on such property in the District are more extensive than a general increase in property values.

3. The assessments paid in the District are proportional to the special benefit that each parcel within that Assessment District receives from the Improvements because:
a. The specific landscaping Improvements and maintenance and utility costs thereof in the District are specified in this Report; and
b. Such Improvement and maintenance costs in the District are allocated among different types of property located within the District, and equally among those properties which have similar characteristics, such as single-family residential parcels, multi-family residential parcels, commercial parcels, industrial parcels, etc.

SVTA v. SCCOSA also provides enhanced clarity to the definitions of special benefits to properties from similar improvements in three distinct areas:
 Proximity
 Expanded or improved access
 Views
Further, SVTA v. SCCOSA also clarifies that a special benefit is a service or improvement that provides a direct advantage to a parcel and that indirect or derivative advantages resulting from the overall public benefits from a service or improvement are general benefits. The SVTA v. SCCOSA decision also provides specific guidance that park improvements are a direct advantage and special benefit to property that is proximate to a park that is improved by an assessment:
991
City of Richmond
Hilltop LMD
Final Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

The characterization of a benefit may depend on whether the parcel receives a direct advantage from the improvement (e.g. proximity to a park) or receives an indirect, derivative advantage resulting from the overall public benefits of the improvement (e.g. general enhancement of the district’s property values).

Dahms v. Downtown Pomona Property (2009) 174 Cal. App. 4th 708 In Dahms v. Downtown Pomona Property (“Dahms”) the Court upheld an assessment that was 100% special benefit (i.e. 0% general benefit) on the rationale that the services and improvements (streetscape maintenance) funded by the assessments were directly provided to property in the assessment district. Most importantly, this Engineer’s Report more conservatively concedes general benefit and satisfies the general benefit contribution requirement through direct City financial contribution, even though Dahms indicates a finding of 100% special benefits is defensible.

Bonander v. Town of Tiburon (2009) 180 Cal. App. 4th 103 Bonander v. Town of Tiburon (“Bonander”), the 1st District Court of Appeal overturned a benefit assessment approved by property owners to pay for placing overhead utility lines underground in an area of the Town of Tiburon. The Court invalidated the assessments primarily on the grounds that the assessments had been apportioned to assessed property based on the costs within sub-areas of the assessment district instead of the overall cost of the improvements and the overall proportional special benefits.

Beutz v. County of Riverside (2010) 184 Cal. App. 4th 1516 Steven Beutz v. County of Riverside (“Beutz”) the Court overturned an assessment for park maintenance in Wildomar, California, primarily because the general benefits associated with improvements and services were not explicitly calculated, quantified and separated from the special benefits.

Golden Hill Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego (2011) 199 Cal.

App. 4th 416
On September 22, 2011, the San Diego Court of Appeal issued a decision on the Golden Hill Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego appeal. This decision overturned an assessment for street and landscaping maintenance in the Greater Golden Hill neighborhood of San Diego, California. The court described two primary reasons for its decision. First, like in Beutz, the court found the general benefits associated with services were not explicitly calculated, quantified and separated from the special benefits. Second, the court found that the City had failed to record the basis for the assessment on its own parcels.

Plans & Specifications
Introduction
As required by the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, the annual Engineer's Report includes: (1) a description of the improvements to be operated, maintained and serviced, (2) an estimated budget, and (3) a listing of the proposed assessment amount for each assessable lot or parcel. Developers of the various properties within the District installed most of the improvements, as a condition of development approval.

Description of Improvements
The improvements consist of the construction, operation, maintenance, rehabilitation, and servicing of landscaping, and appurtenant (pertaining to something that attaches) facilities including but not limited to; personnel, utilities such as water, materials, contractual services, and other items necessary for the satisfactory operation of these services and facilities as described below, verbatim, from the existing Engineer’s Report.

1. Landscape maintenance within the right of way and medians including: watering, pruning, staking and guying, weeding, providing insect and disease control, fertilizing, repairing irrigation systems and appurtenances, and replacement of missing or dying plants and trees as budget permits in these areas:
o Street trees along both sides of Auto Plaza, Research Dr., Lakeside Dr., Shane Dr., Robert H. Miller Dr., Hillview Dr., Klose Way, Garrity Way, and Blume Dr. o Street trees along the outside edge of Hilltop Mall Road. o Street trees and landscaping in the area along the northerly side of Hilltop Dr. from the back of the curb to the adjacent property line fence. o Street trees and Landscaping in median islands in the areas along both sides of Atlas Road and Richmond Parkway from Giant Highway to I-80. o Landscaping in the Parkway Transit Center at Richmond Parkway and I-80. o Landscaping and the lake in Hilltop Lake Park and adjacent open space, including increased management of the lake involving drainage and watershed management.

2. Maintaining directional and entrance signs, as funds are available. 993
City of Richmond
Hilltop LMD
Final Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

3. Providing at least one person with vehicle and equipment for general cleanup and litter control.

4. Eliminating graffiti from all public sound walls, retaining walls, signs, equipment cabinets and appurtenances, and other facilities within public property and rights-of­way.

5. Maintaining the public sound walls along San Pablo Ave. from Richmond Parkway to Hilltop Dr. and along the north side of Richmond Parkway from I-80 to Giant Highway.

6. Maintaining existing and future sculptures within the District.

The specific maintenance services to be performed are directed by the City of Richmond Parks & Landscaping Superintendent as Administrator for the District. The improvements, are generally shown on the planting and irrigation plansfor the Atlas Road West, Atlas Road & Blume Drive Extension, Richmond Parkway between Giant Highway and San Pablo Avenue. The improvements in Zone 2 are generally shown on the Residential Development plans. These plans are available for inspection in the office of the City Engineer and have been incorporated into this report by reference.

Conceptual Plan for Improvements within the District
The figure below provides insight as to the initial concept for the District.

994
City of Richmond
Hilltop LMD
Final Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

Special Note on the Relationship between the City and Hilltop Community The maintenance, operation, and servicing of District improvements is contingent on the availability of funding and, as directed by the City of Richmond Public Works Director with input from the Hilltop Neighborhood District Council (the "Council"), (www.hilltopdistrict.org) generally includes (i) the regular scheduled maintenance, and (ii) the repair and rehabilitation, replacement of damaged equipment, as well as the repair or renovation of facilities associated with the District. (Note: The Council is the successor organization to the now defunct Hilltop District Homeowners & Stakeholders Association (the "Association") and this reference in this Report has been updated in 2024.)
The Council is the advisory committee established to review services in the District, in order to (i) provide the District’s Administrator with input on funded Improvements, facility replacements, and rehabilitations, (ii) identify areas in the District that may need additional attention, and (iii) provide recommendations on priority of Improvements based on the available District revenues above and beyond the regular operations and maintenance budget. Importantly, Council members are not precluded from assuming roles in a Hilltop business organization or other similar nonprofit organization, or to facilitate erection of pylon monument displays or other promotional activities that may be beneficial to the District, the City, and Hilltop business community.

In 2015, the (now-defunct) Association made these requests to the City:

1. Any maintenance of District Improvements, especially those Improvements that provide 100% special benefit to the property owners in the District, will proceed uninterrupted by changes in the City's General Fund that would cause periodic hiring freezes and budget cuts;

2. The City will (i) track any District resources (funded through the assessment) utilized by the City for non-District purposes, and (ii) create a special budget line item to capture any repayments of assessment funds to the District;

3. The City will provide a cost breakdown, year-to-date budget, and payroll report monthly;

4. The City will create a budget for all expenses in the District, and the budget will explain specific purchases and the associated cost of such purchases. 995

Special Note on the Hilltop Drive sound wall (added in 2020-21) Within the Boundaries of the Hilltop LMAD, there is an existing sound wall which runs along the property line on the south side of Hilltop Drive stretching from Moyers Drive westward to Robert Miller Drive. There is a gap at Shane Drive.

Limits of Sound Wall
The responsibility for maintenance and repairs is shard as follows:

1. The portion of the sound wall between Moyers Drive and where the wall is set back between the West County Wastewater District building and residential parcel along McKenzie Drive (approx. 600’ from Robert Miller Drive) is maintained by a combined effort of private owners, the City of Richmond, and District.

2. The routine maintenance on the south side of the wall is the responsibility of the individual residential property owners.

3. The routine maintenance on the north side of the wall has been the responsibility of the District.

4. Any catastrophic failures or issues have been the responsibility of the City of Richmond.

5. In the future, non-routine issues will be evaluated on case-by-case basis and will be the responsibility of the appropriate party or parties.

A typical cross section for major thoroughfares within the District indicating maintenance and operation responsibilities is shown below.

Overall costs for the annual maintenance and servicing of the District improvements is estimated each year as the eligible special benefit portion of the sum of costs from:
• Direct Maintenance
• Annual Administration
• Repairs and Rehabilitation
• Levy Adjustments from City
The City has established a special fund for the revenues and expenditures of the District.

Except for when funds are being accumulated for future capital improvements and operating reserves, any balance remaining as of July 1 must be carried over to the next fiscal year.

Each of these annual cost components are summarized in detail in tables 1 through 4, below, and are summarized in Table 5.

The table below details the projected annual direct maintenance costs including salaries and benefits, utilities, equipment rentals, materials and miscellaneous supplies.

Table 4 below details the two components of the projected annual contribution from the City. The City will contribute $257,871 towards its required offset of general benefit - this amount satisfies and exceeds its’ general benefit offset requirement and is consistent in amount with previous years. Additionally, the City contributes towards payroll costs, as it has throughout the history of this assessment, in the amount of $378,292. Prior to 2026- 27, this contribution was subtracted from the Payroll costs prior to inclusion in the budgets in this report. Now, in order to improve clarity and transparency, the entire payroll amounts and this contribution are shown. (The reason for this payroll contribution to fund the base service level performed by assessment district staffing.) Additionally, the City will contribute approximately $146,510 to ensure quality service levels.

Method of Assessment Apportionment
Method of Apportionment
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the operation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping and street lighting improvements. Section 22573 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements."
The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 (commencing with Section 5000)) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California]." Proposition 218 also requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. In addition, Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Because assessments are levied on the basis of benefit, they are not considered a tax, and, therefore, are not governed by Article XIIIA of the California Constitution.

Article XIIID of the California Constitution provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways.

Approach
The method used for apportioning the assessment is based upon the proportional special benefits conferred to the properties over and above the general benefits conferred to real property in the District or to the public at large. Special benefit and the Assessments are calculated for each parcel in the District using the following process:
1001
City of Richmond
Hilltop LMD
Final Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

1. Identification of special benefit factors derived from the Improvements

2. Quantification and separation of the general benefits

3. Determination of the relative special benefit within different areas within the District

4. Determination of the relative special benefit per property type

5. Apportionment of the costs to Assessment and calculation of the Assessment for each individual parcel based upon special benefit; location, property type, property size, property characteristics, improvements on property and other supporting attributes.

Discussion of Benefit
The following benefit categories summarize the types of special benefit to residential, commercial, industrial and other lots and parcels resulting from the Improvements to be provided with the assessment proceeds. These types of special benefit are summarized as follows:

A. Proximity to Improved Landscaped Areas and Other Public Improvements within the District.

B. Access to Improved landscaped areas and Other Public Improvements within the District.

C. Improved Views within the District.

D. Extension of a property’s outdoor areas and green spaces for properties within close proximity to the Improvements.

E. Creation of individual lots for residential and commercial use that, in absence of the Assessments, would not have been created.

Special Benefits
The special benefits from the Improvements are further detailed below:

A. Proximity to Improved Landscaped Areas within the District Only the specific properties within close proximity to the Improvements are included in the District. The District has been narrowly drawn to include the properties that receive special benefits from the Improvements. Therefore, property in the District enjoys unique and valuable proximity and access to the Improvements that the public at large and property outside the District do not share.
1002
City of Richmond
Hilltop LMD
Final Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

In absence of the Assessments, the Improvements would not be provided and the public improvements funded in the District would be degraded due to insufficient funding for maintenance, upkeep and repair. Therefore, the Assessments provide Improvements that are over and above what otherwise would be provided. Improvements that are over and above what otherwise would be provided do not by themselves translate into special benefits but when combined with the unique proximity and access enjoyed by parcels in the District, they provide a direct advantage and special benefit to property in the District.

B. Access to Improved Landscaped Areas within the District Since the parcels in the District are nearly the only parcels that enjoy close access to the Improvements, they directly benefit from the unique close access to improved landscaping areas and other public improvements that are provided by the Assessments.

This is a direct advantage and special benefit to property in the District.

C. Improved Views within the Assessment Districts
The City, by maintaining permanent public improvements funded by the Assessments in the District, provides improved views to properties in the District. The improved and protected views provided by the Assessments are another direct and tangible advantage that is uniquely conferred upon property in the District.

D. Extension of a Property’s Outdoor Areas and Green Spaces for Properties within Close Proximity to the Improvements
In large part because it is cost prohibitive to provide large open land areas on property in the District, the residential, commercial and other benefiting properties in the District do not have large outdoor areas and green spaces. The Improvements within the District provide additional outdoor areas that serve as an effective extension of the land area for proximate properties because the Improvements are uniquely proximate and accessible to property in close proximity to the Improvements. The Improvements, therefore, provide an important, valuable and desirable extension of usable land area for the direct advantage and special benefit of properties in the District because such properties have uniquely good and close proximity to the Improvements.
1003
City of Richmond
Hilltop LMD
Final Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

E. Creation of Individual Lots for Residential and Commercial Use that, in Absence of the Assessments, Would Not Have Been Created In most of the District, the original owner/developer(s) of the property within the District agreed unanimously to the Assessments. The Assessments provide the necessary funding for public improvements that were required as a condition of development and subdivision approval. Therefore, such Assessments allowed the original property to be subdivided and for development of the parcels to occur. As parcels were sold, new owners were informed of the Assessments through the title reports, and in some cases, through Department of Real Estate “White Paper” reports that the parcels were subject to assessment. Purchase of property was also an “agreement” to pay the Assessment.

Therefore, in absence of the Assessments, the lots within most of the District would not have been created. These parcels, and the improvements that were constructed on the parcels, receive direct advantage and special benefit from the Assessments.

Quantification and Separation of General Benefits
Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution requires any local agency proposing to increase or impose a benefit assessment to “separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.” The rationale for separating special and general benefits is to ensure that property owners subject to the benefit assessment are not paying for general benefits. Property may be assessed to fund improvements to the extent of the special benefits conferred by the Improvements; but general benefits are not assessable. Accordingly, a separate estimate of the special and general benefit is given in this section.

Hence, this Report is required to separate and quantify the special versus general benefits, and supports a finding that the minimum general benefit contribution requirement to be paid by the City (or any source other than the assessed properties) is $113,822. See Tables 10, 11 and 12, below for the detailed calculation of required general benefit amount. Further, the City’s 2026-27 contribution of $257,870 more than satisfies this requirement.

Article XIIID never defines the term “general benefit.” The definition of special benefit in Section 2(i) includes the statement that general enhancement of property value does not constitute special benefit. SVTA expands somewhat on this idea by stating that general benefit may be described as “an indirect, derivative advantage” resulting from the improvements. One infers from Article XIIID that all benefit is either general or special.

In other words, there is no widely-accepted or statutory formula for quantifying the amount of any general benefit that is identified.

Final Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

In this Report, SCI has reviewed and confirmed the reasonableness of the existing approach and calculations for general benefit, which is described, verbatim, below:

Proposition 218 critically notes that "an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred..."
While it has been determined that (i) various District Improvements are clearly local amenities directly associated with the development of the properties within the District and (ii) these Improvements are more extensive and are provided at an enhanced level of service that is notably higher than that typically provided by the City, it is also recognized that some of the Improvements do benefit the traveling public and would likely have minimal impact on the commercial and residential areas in the District (i.e. provide a general benefit). As a result, the cost to maintain these specific Improvements has been offset by a City contribution. Importantly, the following is a discussion, verbatim of general benefit related to District Improvements that was developed and approved at the time the District was formed.

Zone 1,Hilltop Drive,I-80 Interchange to San Pablo Avenue:

Property located outside the District, that fronts the south side of Hilltop Drive directly benefits from the improvement as well as the "drive through" traffic. As a result, 33% of the estimated cost to maintain the south frontage is deemed to be general benefit and is therefore not assessed on property in the District.

Zone 1, Park and ride at I-80 and Richmond Parkway:

The park and ride improvements benefit such a large area outside the District that an insignificant amount of special benefit could be attributed to properties in the District.

As a result, the costs of maintaining the park and ride facility is not assessed on property in the District.

Zone 1, Richmond Parkway Interchange at Interstate 80 and San Pablo Avenue at Hilltop Drive:

Richmond Parkway/Interstate 80 and San Pablo Avenue/Hilltop Drive interchanges are gateways to the mall area, and therefore property located in the mall area receive special benefit from landscaping and related improvements at these two (2) locations.

Importantly, there exists special benefit and general benefit to the surrounding areas, which is not attributable to properties in mall area (Zone 1property). This general benefit is difficult to quantify, but has been estimated to be 50% of the total maintenance cost of improvements at these two (2) locations.
1005
City of Richmond
Hilltop LMD
Final Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

Zone 2, Richmond Parkway West Residential/Commercial Area:

The City currently maintains active and passive parks throughout the community. As a result general benefit received from active and passive parks in the District is estimated to be the maintenance services above and beyond current City-wide standards.

Assuming a City objective of 5.00 acres per 1,000 residents, the General Benefit has been calculated as follows:

Step 1- Number of Benefit Units = 865 * 1.0 + 276 * 0.6 = 1,030.6 Step 2 - Estimated persons per Benefit Unit = 3
Step 3- Estimated population= [Step 1] * [Step 2] = 3 * 1,030.6 = 3,092 persons Step 4 - Active+ Passive Park Goal = (3,092/1,000) * 5 = 15.46 Acres Step 5- Total Active+ Passive Parks = 39.59 Acres
Step 6-% of General Benefit= [Step 4] I [Step 5] = (15.46/39.59) * 100 = 39% The Table below shows a summary of the general benefit allocated to improvements considered to benefit property owners outside the District.

Generally, each parcel receives benefit that is proportional to the size, the use, and the location of the parcel. There are three (3) zones of benefit in the District, each of which receives a proportion of the benefit from the Improvements. Again, the allocation of benefit was established for each zone at the time of formation, and is included below.

Zone 1:

This zone is a combination of high-density residential and light industrial/commercial.

The benefit within this zone is proportional to the weighted parcel area. Weighted parcel area reflects whether or not the parcel has on-site parking. 1006
City of Richmond
Hilltop LMD
Final Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

Zone 2:

This zone is a combination of single family detached, cluster (attached) housing, and commercial/light industrial use. The benefit within this zone is proportional to the parcel area. Importantly, residential land within Zone 2 is assessed based upon equivalent dwelling units.

Zone 3:

Primarily includes the industrial area generally located on Atlas Road. Benefit received within this zone is proportionate to the parcel area.

The three tables below provide a summary of the assessment for each zone.

Final Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

Determination of Apportionment of Special Benefit and Assessment As previously discussed, the proposed Assessments will provide comprehensive Improvements that will clearly confer special benefits to properties in the District. The allocation of special benefits to property is partially based on the type of property and the size of property. These benefits can also partially be measured by the occupants on property in the District because such parcel population density is a measure of the relative benefit a parcel receives from the Improvements. It should be noted that many other types of “traditional” assessments also use parcel population densities to apportion the assessments. For example, the assessments for sewer systems, roads and water systems are typically allocated based on the population density of the parcels assessed.

Therefore, the apportionment of benefit is reasonably based on the type of parcel, the size of parcels and the population density of parcels.

Not only residential improved property will be assessed, because commercial, industrial and other properties also receive direct benefits from the Improvements, and will be assessed.

SCI has reviewed and confirmed the reasonableness of the existing approach and calculations for determination of special benefit, which is described, verbatim, below:

Zone 1- Review of Public and Private Zone 1:

Upon review of all public and private streets located In Zone 1, it was determined that in order to preserve the integrity of both active and Inactive properties, the maintenance of the District was necessary to all property within the area generally bounded by Hilltop Drive on the South, West, and Southwest, Interstate 80 on the East, San Pablo Avenue on the West, and City limits on the North.

In the past, there has been a wide variation of maintenance requirements in different areas of Zone 1. At this time however, given that the entire District is substantially builtout, it is difficult to isolate locations where landscape maintenance could be discontinued without creating a negative impact on certain properties in the District. Therefore, property within this Zone has been assessed uniformly, based on acreage, for the cost to maintain the Improvements, with the exception of those costs relating to general benefit.

Zone 2 - Richmond Parkway West Residential Commercial lndustrial Area:

This Zone includes Subdivision 7970 (Hilltop West aka Fairways at Country Club) and, with the exception of one (1) parcel, is pre-planned for attached and detached single family homes (totaling to 1,141 equivalent dwelling units), commercial/industrial development, utility facilities, open spaces, and park amenities. 1009
City of Richmond
Hilltop LMD
Final Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

Improvements installed within the Zone are specifically beneficial to the properties in the Zone, with the exception of general benefit relating to park use. Importantly, additional facilities are expected to be built as further subdivision of the property takes place. As a result, the cost of the maintenance of the Improvements within Zone 2, excluding costs attributable to general benefit, has been assessed uniformly to the parcels within this zone according to parcel acreage.

Within Subdivision 7970 (Hilltop West aka Fairways at Country Club) and other adjacent subdivisions, residential units are projected to be a combination of attached and detached single family dwellings and will be assessed on the following basis.

A detached single family residential (SFR) dwelling is defined as one (1.0) benefit unit.

Based on this definition and density calculations utilized at the time of formation, the attached or cluster units are calculated to be 0.6 equivalent dwelling units:

Zone 3 - Atlas Road Industrial Area:

This Zone Is comprised of the industrial area located west of the Richmond Parkway.

This area is specifically benefited by Improvements located on streets, landscaping, utilities, sidewalks, and other facilities. Therefore, the benefit received by properties within Zone 3 is estimated to be proportionate to area.

Parcels Not Benefitted
These are parcels that do not specifically benefit by virtue of use, and include parcels for open space, parks, playgrounds, water storage reservoirs, and areas where the title is vested in the City. As a result, these properties have not been assessed. Additionally, other properties including public streets, common areas, and Federal property have also been exempted from the assessment.

Unimproved Parcels
Maintenance of unimproved parcels is required to prevent overgrowth of weeds and maintain attractive landscaping that may assist property owners with the marketing of vacant lots. Therefore, the benefit received by vacant or unimproved lots in the District Is the same as that received by the Improved lots.

Calculation of Assessments
The assessment methodology for parcels in each zone was determined at the time of formation, and is calculated as follows:

Zone1
Step 1: Calculate the number of weighted area units (AU) for the parcels within the inner circle (as shown on the District Diagram/Map, Section VII) 1010
City of Richmond
Hilltop LMD
Final Engineer’s Report, FY 2026-27

by prorating a portion of the Hilltop Mall parking lot to each parcel within the circle by parcel area.

Step 2: Calculate the number of AU for remaining parcels within this Zone by multiplying the number of acres by 1.00.

Step 3: Calculate the total number of AU within this Zone.

Step 4: Calculate the assessment per AU by dividing the net total cost for the Zone by the sum of the AU within the Zone.

Step 5: Calculate the annual assessment for each parcel by multiplying the assessment per AU by the number of AU for that parcel.

Zone 2
Step 1: Calculate the assessment per acre by dividing the total maintenance cost by the total area assessed.

Step 2: Calculate the total number of Benefit Units for Single Family Residence (SFR) Detached as 1.00 times the number of SFR units.

Step 3: Calculate the total number of Benefit Units for cluster homes by multiplying the total number of cluster homes by 0.6.

Step 4: Calculate the assessment for SFR parcels by multiplying the assessment per acre times the total acres of residential land divided by the total number of Benefit Units.

Step 5: Calculate the assessment for a cluster home by multiplying the assessment for a SFR unit by 0.6.

Zone 3
Step 1: Calculate the assessment per acre by dividing the total maintenance cost for Zone 3 by the total area assessed within Zone 3.

Pursuant to the foregoing, the table below shows the net amount to be assessed upon assessable lands within the District in FY 2026-2027. The table also shows the not-toexceed maximum assessment amount that was approved by City Council in FY 1999-2000 (Resolution No. 85-99), following the mailing of a notice to each property owner, that has been adjusted for the change in the CPl.

The following three tables illustrates the details of overall costs, eligible special benefit costs and the rate per use type.

Appeals of Assessments Levied to Property
Any property owner who feels that the assessment levied on the subject property is in error as a result of incorrect information being used to apply the foregoing method of assessment may file a written appeal with the City of Richmond Infrastructure Maintenance and Operations Director, or his or her designee. Any such appeal is limited to correction of an assessment during the then current Fiscal Year and applicable law.

Upon the filing of any such appeal, the Infrastructure Maintenance and Operations Director or his or her designee will promptly review the appeal and any information provided by the property owner. If the Infrastructure Maintenance and Operations Director or his or her designee finds that the assessment should be modified, the appropriate changes shall be made to the Assessment Roll. If any such changes are approved after the Assessment Roll has been filed with the County for collection, the Infrastructure Maintenance and Operations Director or his or her designee is authorized to refund to the property owner the amount of any approved reduction. Any dispute over the decision of the Infrastructure Maintenance and Operations Director or his or her designee shall be referred to the City Council of the City of Richmond, and the decision of the City Council shall be final.

Assessment Funds Must Be Expended Within the Improvement District Area
The net available Assessment funds, after incidental, administrative, financing and other costs, shall be expended within the boundaries of the District and appropriate incidental and administrative costs as defined in the Plans and Specifications section.

Oversight, Annual Review and Accountability
In general, the public review and accountability process is as follows: The Assessments do not automatically continue and will require specific actions, reports and procedures for continuation. In each year for which the Assessments will be levied, the Council must preliminarily approve at a public meeting a budget and costs for the upcoming Fiscal Year’s Improvements, an updated annual Engineer’s Report, and an updated Assessment roll listing all parcels and their proposed Assessments. At this meeting, the Council will also call for the publication in a local newspaper of a legal notice of the intent to continue the Assessments for the next Fiscal Year and set the date for the noticed public hearing.

At the annual public hearing, members of the public can provide input to the Council prior to the Council’s decision on ordering the Assessments for the next Fiscal Year. 1016

FROM: Shannon Moore, Interim City Attorney
Pamela Christian, City Clerk
Subject: Policy on Disruption of Telephonic or Internet Service During Public Meetings
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct fiscal impact associated with adoption of the proposed policy. Any costs associated with
responding to service disruptions will be absorbed within existing departmental budgets.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:

None.

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

In 2025, the California Legislature adopted Senate Bill 707, which added Government Code Section 54953.4
and established new requirements applicable to
disruptions of telephonic or internet services used to
facilitate public attendance and participation in public meetings.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: ADOPT a resolution to APPROVE the City of Richmond Policy for Disruptions of Telephonic or Internet Service During Public Meetings in compliance with California
Government Code Section 54953.4 - City Attorney’s
Office/City Clerk’s Office (Shannon Moore 510-620-
6509/Pamela Christian 510-620-6513).

DISCUSSION:

The Ralph M. Brown Act requires local legislative bodies to conduct meetings openly and publicly. On Oct. 3, 2025, the Governor signed Senate Bill (SB) 707 into law, which added Government Code section 54953.4 with the intent to strengthen open meeting laws, promoting governmental transparency, and increasing public AGENDA
REPORT
1051

June 23, 2026
participation during local government meetings. Among the various SB 707 requirements, all “eligible legislative bodies” are required to offer remote public access to open public meetings by either:

1. Two-way telephonic service or

2. Two-way audiovisual platforms.

The City already complies with the SB 707 requirement of conducting City Council open session meetings in a hybrid format via Zoom. Additionally, to ensure public access and participation, SB 707 requires all “eligible legislative bodies” to establish a policy on how to address disruption of telephonic or internet service connection that occurs during public open meetings. The City Council is the City’s only “eligible legislative body” for purposes of this policy.

Government Code Section 54953.4 requires legislative bodies that provide remote access to meetings to adopt a policy, in an open and noticed meeting, addressing disruptions of telephonic or internet service. The statute requires the policy to establish procedures for recessing and reconvening meetings and identify the efforts that will be undertaken to restore service when disruptions occur.

The statute further requires legislative bodies to recess meetings for at least one hour when a disruption prevents the public from attending or observing a meeting through the electronic means provided by the agency and to make specified findings before proceeding if service cannot be restored.

ANALYSIS
The proposed policy establishes procedures for:
 Identifying and responding to disruptions of telephonic or internet service;  Recessing meetings when a disruption substantially impairs public access;  Making good-faith efforts to restore service;
 Reconvening meetings in compliance with Government Code Section 54953.4;  Providing alternative methods of public access when feasible; and  Documenting disruptions and corrective actions for the public record.

Adoption of the policy will ensure the City remains compliant with state law and provides clear guidance to elected officials, commissioners, staff, and members of the public regarding how meetings will be conducted when technology disruptions occur.

The policy will apply to the City Council and may also be utilized by all legislative bodies subject to the Brown Act, including boards, commissions, committees, and other advisory bodies established by the City.
1052

June 23, 2026

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Adoption of the proposed policy is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 because it constitutes an organizational and administrative activity that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

CITY OF RICHMOND

POLICY FOR DISRUPTIONS OF TELEPHONIC OR INTERNET SERVICE DURING

PUBLIC MEETINGS
Adopted Pursuant to California Government Code Section 54953.4

1. Purpose
The purpose of this Policy is to establish procedures for addressing disruptions of telephonic, internet, livestreaming, videoconferencing, or other electronic communications services used to facilitate public access to meetings of the Richmond City Council and other legislative bodies of the City of Richmond in compliance with California Government Code Section 54953.4.

2. Applicability
This Policy applies to all meetings of the Richmond City Council and all legislative bodies subject to the Ralph M. Brown Act that provide telephonic, internet-based, livestreamed, or hybrid public access to meetings.

3. Definitions
Disruption of Service means any interruption, degradation, failure, or loss of telephonic, internet, videoconferencing, livestreaming, or other electronic communications service that prevents members of the public from observing or participating in a meeting through the means provided by the City.

Good Faith Effort means reasonable efforts undertaken by City staff to restore disrupted service, including but not limited to troubleshooting hardware and software, contacting service providers, switching to backup systems, or utilizing alternative means of public access.

Community Development
DATE: June 23, 2026
TO: Mayor Martinez and Members of the City Council
FROM: Lina Velasco, Director of Community Development
Jesus Morales, Housing Manager
Subject: Contract Amendment No. 2 with Just Cities, LLC for completion of the Housing Equity Roadmap as specified
in the Housing Element
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed $49,999 contract amendment is included within the proposed Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Housing
Division’s budget (see Account String: 12031063-
400201). No additional General Fund resources are
required.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:

September 12, 2023

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

The City contracted with Just Cities, LLC to develop the Housing Equity Roadmap (HER). The HER will serve as
an implementation plan for new policies, programs, or
investments that can be realized in the short and longterm to ensure Richmond residents have affordable, stable, and dignified housing. The contract amendment is needed to allow Just Cities, LLC to complete the HER
and assist the City in the implementation phase of the
HER.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: APPROVE a second contract amendment with Just Cities, LLC to support completion and implementation of the
Housing Equity Road Map increasing the payment limit by $49,999, for a total payment limit of $209,994, and extending the term through December 31, 2027– Community
Development Department (Lina Velasco 510-620-
6841/Jesus Morales 510-620-6649). This item was
continued from the June 16, 2026, meeting.

AGENDA
REPORT
1059

June 23, 2026
DISCUSSION:

In 2022, Just Cities, LLC was a subcontractor to Lisa Wise Consulting, lead consultant, for the 6th Cycle Housing Element update. Specifically, Just Cities, LLC (Just Cities) prepared the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) appendix, with an accompanied list of specific Meaningful Actions included in the Housing Element. The AFFH analysis was a new State requirement for Housing Element Updates beginning in 2021. Just Cities, LLC supported the City in its first ever State required assessment of fair housing issues, contributing factors, and the development of meaningful actions to affirmatively further fair housing.

Given their role in the development of the 6th Cycle Housing Element update and AFFH appendix, Just Cities was well positioned to continue this previous work with the development of the Housing Equity Roadmap (HER). Just Cities has been working with the City in the development of the HER over these past two years.

The HER continues the AFFH work by examining and proposing concrete implementation and policy assessment plans for key policies that will address housing issues within Richmond. Specifically, their work will support the city in implementing certain programs identified in the Housing Element Goal 6: Promote fair housing access and opportunities for all persons. The HER will serve as the implementation plan for new policies, programs, or investments that can be realized in short, mid- and long-term actions to ensure Richmond residents have affordable, stable, and dignified housing. The HER will address issues of racial segregation, fair housing, land use compatibility, housing production, housing habitability, equitable development, and include community feedback.

The second contract amendment will allow Just Cities, LLC to complete the HER and assist in the implementation of some of the goals and objectives laid out in the HER.

SYNERGISTIC POLICIES:

The proposed contract amendment to complete the HER supports the implementation of programs identified in City’s adopted Housing Element (2023-2031), specifically the Meaningful Actions in Appendix F: Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The approval of second contract amendment with Just Cities, LLC is not a "project" as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378 because it involves consulting services to complete and assist in the implementation of the Housing Equity Road Map and does not commit the City to any specific course of action that may result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Any future actions resulting from the Housing Equity Road Map that may constitute a project under CEQA will be evaluated for CEQA compliance at the appropriate time. In the alternative, the action is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that approval of 1060

June 23, 2026
the contract amendment will not have a significant effect on the environment.

CONCLUSION:

Community Development staff recommend that the City Council approve a Contract Amendment No. 2 with Just Cities, LLC to increase the not-to-exceed amount by $49,999 for the completion and implementation assistance for the Housing Equity Roadmap for a term extending through December 31, 2027.

In all instances where CONTRACTOR or its representatives will provide professional services (architects, engineers, construction management, counselors, medical professionals, hospitals, clinics, attorneys, consultants, accountants, etc.) to the City of Richmond (City), the City requires the following MINIMUM insurance requirements and limits.

CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract, agreement, or other order for work, services or supplies, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder and the results of that work by the CONTRACTOR, its agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. 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. 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.

Minimum Scope of Insurance – the following forms shall be provided and coverage shall be at least as broad as the following:

1. Insurance Services Office Commercial General Liability coverage (ISO Occurrence Form CG 0001), and including coverage for bodily and personal injury, property damage, and products and completed operations (if applicable).

2. Insurance Services Office Automobile Liability coverage (ISO Form CA 0001, Code 1, Any Auto).

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.

Only the City Council or the City Manager may authorize extra and/or changed work. Contractor expressly recognizes that other City personnel are without authorization to either order extra and/or changed work or waive contract requirements.

If Contractor is of the opinion that any work which Contractor has been directed to perform is beyond the scope of this Contract and constitutes extra work, Contractor shall promptly notify City of the fact.

General Conditions/EJ/TE 01-19-11 6 of 13

13. Termination in the Event of Default.

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 1098
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.

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 1099

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.

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.

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.

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.

CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract, agreement, or other order for work, services or supplies, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder and the results of that work by the CONTRACTOR, its agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. Maintenance of proper insurance coverage is a material element of the 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.

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 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.

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.

DISCUSSION:

Background
The Port of Richmond (Port) operates five City-owned terminals, Point Potrero Marine Terminal (PPMT), is the former Historic Shipyard Number Three (Attachment 1). PPMT was originally constructed between 1941 and 1942 as one of four shipyards where Liberty and Victory ships were constructed during the World War Two effort. The General Warehouse Building (GW) is a contributing historic structure located at Port PPMT. It currently stands vacant and over time the GW building has been subjected to vandalism including graffiti on its exterior concrete surface. Removal of graffiti from existing concrete surfaces on the General Warehouse is necessary to prevent further damage to the concrete surface and ensure a safe and secure operating environment at the Port.

Under its Safety and Security Goals, Port staff continue to implement core priorities for maintaining Port facilities, including vacant and historic infrastructure at PPMT.

Measures already implemented around the General Warehouse include perimeter fencing, security gates, and k-rail for parking safety. Graffiti remediation is the next critical step in restoring the General Warehouse and protecting its historic character.

Scope of Work
The scope of work consisted of four critical bid items which included:

1. Graffiti Removal Test – completion of test patches at a minimum of four locations designated by the Engineer, each no less than 10 square feet, to demonstrate and calibrate removal methods before production work begins;

2. Graffiti Removal – removal of graffiti from all exterior concrete surfaces of the General Warehouse, including doors, windows, loading dock faces, and appurtenances;

3. Application of Anti-Graffiti Coating – application of a sacrificial, water-based, vapor-permeable clear anti-graffiti coating to approximately 15,000 square feet of concrete surface as shown on the plans; and

4. All work must adhere to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. Cleaning must use the least aggressive means necessary to remove graffiti without damaging or altering the historic substrate; abrasive blasting, sandblasting, high-pressure washing exceeding 500 psi, grinding, and wire brushing are expressly prohibited. The contractor must complete all work within 20 working days of the Notice to Proceed.

Procurement Process
In December 2025 a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Graffiti Removal Services for the General Warehouse (GW) Building was issued through the City's procurement platform, PlanetBids (BidsOnline). In January one bid was received, however the solicitation was subsequently cancelled. This was due to the bidder bidding the solicitation incorrectly. 1146
