Agenda packet, first session — San Dimas City Council, June 10, 2025 (part 2 of 4)

Rev. 06/22 Page 8 of 20 Design Professional Service Agreement Agency’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, Agency has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary, and any premium paid by Agency will be promptly reimbursed by Provider or Agency will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Provider payments. In the alternative, Agency may cancel this Agreement.

Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the Agency’s Risk Manager.

Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against Agency, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees, and volunteers or shall specifically allow Provider or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Provider hereby waives its own right of recovery against Agency and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). Provider acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the Agency to inform Provider of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the Agency nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Provider maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the Agency requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Provider. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the Agency.

Notice of cancellation. Provider agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide the Agency with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage. If any of the Provider’s insurers are unwilling to provide such notice, then Provider shall have the responsibility of notifying the Agency immediately in the event of Provider’s failure to renew any of the required insurance coverages, or insurer’s cancellation or non-renewal.

Rev. 06/22 Page 9 of 20 Design Professional Service Agreement Additional insured status. General liability, automobile liability, and umbrella/excess liability insurance policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that Agency and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies.

Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to Agency and approved of in writing.

Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Provider’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.

Pass through clause. Provider agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party who is brought onto or involved in the project/service by Provider (hereinafter collectively “Subcontractor”), provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Provider under this Agreement. Provider agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. However, in the event Provider’s Subcontractor cannot comply with this requirement, which proof must be submitted to the Agency, Provider may still be able to utilize the Subcontractor provided Provider shall be required to ensure that its Subcontractor provide and maintain insurance coverage and endorsements sufficient to the specific risk of exposure involved with Subcontractor’s scope of work and services, with limits less than required of the Provider, but in all other terms consistent with the Provider’s requirements under this Agreement. This provision does not relieve the Provider of its contractual obligations under the Agreement and/or limit its liability to the amount of insurance coverage provided by its subcontractors. This provision is intended solely to provide Provider with the ability to utilize a Subcontractor who may be otherwise qualified to perform the work or services but may not carry the same insurance limits as required of the Provider under this Agreement given the limited scope of work or services provided by the subcontractor. Provider agrees that upon request, all agreements with Subcontractors, and others engaged in the project and/or services, will be submitted to Agency for review.

Agency’s right to revise specifications. The Agency reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Provider ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Provider, the Agency and Provider may renegotiate Provider’s compensation.

Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by Agency. Agency reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible, or require proof of ability to pay losses

Timely notice of claims. Provider shall give Agency prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Provider’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Additional insurance. Provider shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.

Managed Services for Business Continuity
This document oers guidance on securing business continuity for City of San Dimas.

The risk of disaster to your business is increasing.

The threats to your business data have evolved well beyond natural disasters over the past few years. Cyber threats have now become the biggest cause of disruptions that end up in data loss and/or long-term business outages. Over 60% of SMBs reported cyber-attacks in 2020 and that number is expected to rise in the future. Modern backup, disaster recovery and continuity solutions need to protect your business from a broader range or threats including:

Ransomware – Malicious software (e.g., Cryptolocker and Cryptowall) secretly inltrates businesses and encrypts critical business data.

Targeted hacking by malicious parties - Hackers target your business directly using a combination of tactics to steal data.

Disgruntled employee - Employee looking to disrupt business operations deletes critical data.

Human error - Employees inadvertently delete important business data.

Natural disaster – Floods, re and vandalism result in systems being physically destroyed or inaccessible for several days.

Loss of utility services – Unplanned power outages leave businesses shutdown for extended period.

Theft – Physical theft of server from the oce environment.

Partners going out of business – Data hosted with a “private cloud" partner can become inaccessible or be destroyed.

Page 347 ends

Downtime is extremely costly to your business.

Should there be a disaster that limits sta from accessing your systems and data it will stall business operations.

Below is an example illustration of the costs that are typically incurred with business outages.

Further costs related to brand corrosion, recreation of data and/or customer loss are not captured but should be considered.

Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of June 10, 2025
From: Brad McKinney, City Manager
Prepared by: Debra Black, City Clerk
Subject: Adopt Ordinance 1324, Approving Municipal Code Text Amendment 24-11, A Request to Amend the City of San Dimas Municipal Code Title 18 As Necessary to Eliminate The Development Plan Review Board ____________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY
At the regular City Council meeting on May 13, 2025, the City Council voted 5-0 to introduce Ordinance 1324 and on May 27, 2025, voted 5-0 to adopt. This item is being presented to meet the legal requirement for a summary publication in the newspaper.

RECOMMENDATION
City Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Adopt Ordinance 1324
• Direct the City Clerk to publish the summary ordinance as prepared by the City Attorney.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov
No

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the recommended action.

BACKGROUND
The publishing deadlines for summary publications of Ordinance 1324 were missed. This document spans 74 pages and would be costly to publish in full. The City Clerk’s Office confirmed with the Community Development Department that there were no deadlines associated with the

Page 374 ends

Adopt Ordinance 1324 Page 2
For the Meeting of June 10, 2025
approval of this ordinance. The pre-adoption summary was published on June 3, 2025. We are presenting it again to facilitate the necessary post-adoption summary publication.

In 2018, the City Council approved Resolution 2018-54, authorizing the City Clerk’s Office to publish summary ordinances prepared by the City Attorney's office. Under Government Code 36933(a), the City Clerk is required to publish the full text of any adopted ordinance or ordinance amendment at least once in a newspaper of general circulation. The Government Code does allow a summary to be published if it is published twice, five days prior to the adoption of the ordinance and then again within 15 days of when the ordinance is adopted.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Legally required publication of Public Hearing Notices, Notice Inviting Bids and Ordinances are costly for agencies. From January 2025 to May 2025, our publication costs totaled $21,089.14, which includes publication of summary ordinances. This cost would increase with full publication.

ALTERNATIVES
Without this approval, the full 74 pages of the ordinance would be published with a cost unknown at this time.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed at this time.

Respectfully submitted,
Debra Black
City Clerk

amendments seeks to promote a more efficient and transparent review process by directing development project evaluations to the appropriate review bodies and eliminating unnecessary procedural steps and saving the applicant’s time.

B. The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment will further the public health, safety and general welfare.

The proposed amendments advance the general welfare of San Dimas by refining the review process to remove redundancies and reduce confusion in the application procedures.

This ensures that applications are processed in a manner that is clear, consistent, and supportive of public health, safety, and welfare.

C. The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment is consistent with the General Plan.

The proposed amendments are aligned with the following goals from the General Plan.

Housing Element
a. Goal Statement HE-3.3 seeks to provide flexibility in development and design standards to accommodate new models and approaches to encourage mixed uses, live/work, accessory dwellings, and other types of housing. b. Goal Statement HE-3.4 aims to maintain an efficient entitlement process with coordinated permit processing, objective design review and standards, and environmental clearance procedures.
