Santa Cruz City Council
March 24, 2026

INTRODUCTION
This report summarizes the key Citywide actions in the calendar year 2025 that relate to the City of Santa Cruz 2030 General Plan (GP), including specific tasks undertaken by City departments, the Planning Commission, and City Council. This report is not intended to be a comprehensive audit of all the City’s General Plan implementation programs but includes the priorities and opportunities important to the community.

The General Plan Annual Progress Report meets the State requirements for reporting the City’s progress toward meeting General Plan goals and objectives. Topics recommended by the California Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) are briefly discussed below. In addition, staff has highlighted Council Initiatives as well as several key City projects and programs undertaken in 2024 that support the goals and objectives identified in the 2030 General Plan.

OPR RECOMMENDED TOPICS
2025 General Plan Updates
The City made the following updates to the General Plan in 2025:
 Downtown Plan Expansion: In May 2025, City Council adopted amendments to the General Plan related to the Downtown Plan Expansion that changed land use and development standards in the expanded downtown area south of Laurel Street. The amendments to the General Plan included changing the land use map amendments to change the land use designations for several parcels within the Downtown Plan Expansion area and General Plan text amendments to update text referring to the Downtown Plan and the Beach and South of Laurel Area consistent with the Downtown Plan Expansion.
 111-119 Leonard Street: In May 2025, City Council adopted amendments to the General Plan land use map to change the land use designations of 111-119 Leonard Street from Mixed-Use Visitor Commercial to Low-Medium Density Residential. This action was taken at the same time as the land use designation changes associated with the Downtown Plan Expansion to ensure no net loss of housing capacity citywide.
 2394 Delaware Avenue. In May 2025, City Council adopted amendments to the General Plan related to this site to facilitate the continued use of the northern portion of the site by the Homeless Garden Project. Amendments to the General Plan land use map changed the land use designation of the site from Low Density Residential to Agriculture/Grazing for the northern four acres of the site and to Low-Medium Density Residential for the southern portion of the site. General Plan text amendments updated policy related to future development of the site.

 Mixed-Use Designations: In June 2025, City Council adopted General Plan text amendments to amend the descriptions of two mixed-use land use designations, the Mixed-Use High Density designation and the Mixed-Use Visitor Commercial. These amendments were done in concert with Zoning Ordinance updates to the Objective Design Standards for Multifamily Housing to ensure full alignment with the General Plan.
 SB 1425: In 2025, following guidance from the Open Space Element Update Technical Advisory Discussion Draft, the City reviewed existing programs, goals, policies and actions to assess compliance with the requirements of California Senate Bill 1425, completing Step 3a of the Discussion Draft. Numerous area plans, climate adaptation plans, parks plans, and resource management plans were reviewed, in addition to the City’s 2030 General Plan. Based on this comprehensive assessment, the City is meets the majority of SB 1425 requirements. To enable access to open space for all residents in a manner that considers social, economic, and racial equity, the City undertook, as part of its Climate Adaptation and Resilient Coast initiatives, a series of interviews with socially vulnerable and underrepresented groups to understand how adaptation measures might impact these populations. Findings from these engagement efforts continue to inform climate adaptation, open space, and transportation plans in the City. To ensure climate resilience and other cobenefits of open space, the City is advancing projects to redesign San Lorenzo Park and the Jessie Street Marsh as both open spaces for recreational use and adaptive spaces that will buffer communities and infrastructure from flooding events caused by climate change. The Marsh also promotes rewilding opportunities within the City by creating new and preserving existing habitat for native plant and animal species. In 2026, the City will focus on identifying gaps in compliance with SB 1425 and developing policies, goals, programs, and actions to fill any such gaps to further comply with state law and advance the City’s own goals with regard to equitable access to open space, climate resiliency, and rewilding.
2025 Ordinance Amendments and Policy Updates
Several Zoning Ordinance Amendments and other ordinance and policy updates related to development and General Plan implementation were approved or took effect in 2025, as follows:
 Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Owner Occupancy and Separate Sale: In January 2025, Council adopted an ordinance amending the City’s accessory dwelling unit regulations to allow owner-occupancy in keeping with State law but also even for properties where it could have been kept in place under the local owner occupancy ordinance. At this meeting, Council also adopted an ordinance allowing separate sale of ADUs and their primary dwellings in support of AB 1033. The City then submitted the requisite ordinance amendments to the Coastal Commission, and they were approved by that body on 9/12/25.

Commented [MV1]: This was adopted in Jan 2025.

 Downtown Plan Expansion: In May 2025, City Council approved the Downtown Plan Expansion, which expands the scope of the Downtown Plan to the neighborhood south of Laurel Street. The expanded area provides planning guidance for future development in that area, including mixed use buildings, a new stadium for the Santa Cruz Warriors basketball team, and an optional Downtown Density Bonus allowing additional building height and floor area in exchange for providing affordable units including moderate income and workforce housing.

Several parcels in this area were rezoned to allow for the type of development envisioned in the plan.  2394 Delaware Avenue Rezoning: In May 2025, City Council adopted a resolution to rezone the northern for acres of this site to exclusive agriculture to accommodate continued use of that portion of the site by the Homeless Garden Project. At the same time, the southern portion of the site was rezoned from Single Family Residential to Multiple Residential – Low Density to ensure no net loss of residential capacity across the whole site.
 Objective Standards Updates: Various State housing bills limit City review of housing projects to “objective standards” contained in the city’s Zoning Ordinance and General Plan. In 2022, City Council approved amendments to the Zoning Ordinance establishing objective development standards for multi-family and mixed-use housing developments. In 2025, City Council adopted updates to these standards in response to feedback from applicants and the public on the originally approved standards.  Energy Reach Code for Existing Single Family Homes: In December 2024, City Council adopted local amendments to the California Code of Regulations (California Energy Code) implementing an energy reach code for substantial additions or renovations to single family homes with an intent to provide owners with a range of options that will also meet goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with fossil fuel use citywide. In September 2025, this reach code was updated and adopted as local amendments to the California Energy Code within the 2025 California Building Code cycle.
 Energy Reach Code for Non-Residential Buildings: In 2023, the City adopted local amendments to the California Energy Code for all newly constructed buildings. In November 2025, City Council adopted additional requirements for new non-residential buildings to require a heat pump or additional energy measures for new or replaced heating and air conditioning units. These updates were approved as local amendments to the 2025 California Building Code Cycle.
 Anti-displacement policy update. In December 2025, City Council adopted an ordinance aligning local requirements for replacement housing and first right of refusal in replacement units associated with site redevelopment with those requirements under state law. The amendments also updated and clarified requirements for relocation assistance associated with enforcement of dangerous living conditions.  Ministerial Approval of Affordable Housing. In December 2025, the Planning Commission recommended approval of a proposed overlay district to allow the ministerial approval of 100 percent affordable housing developments within the overlay and that meet specified criteria,

9.98 CALENDAR YEAR 2025

GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT
MARCH 24, 2026
Community Development

including consistency with all objective development standards unless modified through a density bonus request. City Council is anticipated to consider this proposed overlay in 2026.
 Temporary Housing Updates. In December 2025, the Planning Commission recommended approval of a proposed overlay district that would allow a variety of temporary housing, affordable housing, supportive services, and commercial uses along Coral Street, which was envisioned for such uses in the 2023 Coral Street Visioning Report. The overlay district would also zone for emergency shelters with the capacity to accommodate the City’s unsheltered population as required under state law. City Council is anticipated to consider this proposed overlay in March 2026.
 Leaf blowers. City Council adopted an ordinance prohibiting the use of gasoline powered leaf blowers with limited exceptions in the city limits.
2025 Major Development Applications & Status Updates
Multiple significant development applications were processed and received building permits as shown in the Selected 2025 Key Projects and Programs table below.

Promotion of Infill Development
The list of 2025 Key Projects demonstrates that the City is committed to encouraging well-planned infill development. The City’s established greenbelt ensures that compact and focused development will continue to be a high priority, and virtually all development within the City is considered infill. The majority of the projects listed above are in the downtown area or along the major transportation corridors.

Intergovernmental Coordination
The City regularly coordinates with a variety of agencies and jurisdictions, including the County of Santa Cruz; the Cities of Scotts Valley, Capitola and Watsonville; Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG); California Coastal Commission (CCC); Santa Cruz Metropolitan Transit District (METRO); Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission (SCCRTC); University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC); the Soquel Creek Water District (SCWD); the Scotts Valley Water District; the Santa Cruz Mid-County and Santa Margarita Groundwater Agencies (MGA and SMGWA, respectively); the Monterey Bay Community Power Board (MBCP); the Monterey Bay Air Resource District (MBARD); the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO); the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA); the State Housing and Community Development Department (HCD); the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW); and the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). Highlights from 2025 include:

9.99 CALENDAR YEAR 2025

GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT
MARCH 24, 2026
Community Development

Continuum of Care and County Collaboration. During 2025, the City continued to assist the County in the prior years’ transition of the County’s former Continuum of Care, the Housing Action Partnership, to the new Housing for Health Partnership (HHP). Through the HHP and through regular, weekly coordination the County, the City worked on a wide range of homeless services and homelessness response efforts. Collaboration regularly occurred on provision of shelter services, on establishing clear roles and responsibilities across jurisdictions, on applying for grants, on awarding grant monies, and on a variety of other items. The City, County, and HHP also coordinated closely with non-profit partners who deliver homeless services, including in preparation for a 2026 transition of various day services.

The City worked closely with Housing Matters and the County of Santa Cruz in working toward implementing the Coral Street Vision Report and providing more housing and services in the Coral Street area. The City received a grant that will facilitate the construction of a residential substance use disorder treatment facility and navigation center at 125 Coral Street. The property is owned by the City, and the City coordinated closely with County and non-profit partners in preparing the grant.

The City Water Department has been working with the Scotts Valley Water District to complete the City of Santa Cruz – Scotts valley Intertie Project.

The Intertie Project will link the treated water systems of the City of Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley Water District. This critical regional project, which was under construction in 2025, will enable the two agencies to better coordinate and maximize the use of surface and groundwater supplies, and ensure active and passive recharge in the Santa Margarita Groundwater Basin. The intertie will also improve fire protection through increased fireresponse flows, and will enable agencies to share water as available during water shortages.

The SCPD partnered with the Santa Cruz County Office of Education to implement its Project ASCEND (Achieving Success through Community, Education, and Nurturing Development) Initiative. This four-year, grant-funded initiative aims to support youth aged 12 to 17 who are at risk of becoming justice-involved for misdemeanors. The program aims to shift the focus away from punishment towards restoration and rehabilitation by providing diversion opportunities, tailored interventions from youth specialists, and connections to supportive services.

The City of Santa Cruz, UC Santa Cruz, County of Santa Cruz, City of Capitola, Cabrillo College and City of Watsonville have partnered to bring an electric Bike Share system to Santa Cruz County providing a convenient, fun and affordable way for community members and visitors to travel countywide. The bike share system now serves the City of Santa Cruz, UCSC campus, Capitola, and the unincorporated County. The system experiences over 20,000 trips per month.

CITY COUNCIL INITIATIVES
In 2025, staff worked on policy initiatives and other supportive efforts to promote Downtown vibrancy, housing production, and the filling of vacant storefronts. The Council approved the Downtown Plan Expansion in mid-2025, and it was subsequently approved by the Coastal Commission. It increases housing capacity, supports the development of new commercial space, and facilitates the development of a permanent, multi-use arena that will be the home of the Santa Cruz Warriors. The Council approved a vacant storefront ordinance to encourage Downtown storefront occupancy in spring of 2025. These efforts all support a thriving downtown ecosystem.

Homelessness continues to be another important initiative. In 2025, City Council continued implementation of the 2024-2027 Homelessness Response Strategic Plan. The City continued to fund multiple safe parking programs and multiple shelter programs, as well as a homelessness response outreach team, a refuse removal team, and many other initiatives that support the unhoused. Staff also worked toward implementing the vision for Coral Street by presenting a zoning overlay district to the Planning Commission in 2025.

35 ANADROMOUS SALMONID HABITAT

CONSERVATION PLAN AND SANTA

CRUZ WATER RIGHTS PROJECT
Since May of 2001, the City of Santa Cruz (City) has
been working on Federal and State of
California Endangered Species Act (FESA and CESA,
respectively) compliance for its operations and
maintenance as well as several capital projects that
may affect special status anadromous salmonids. This
environmental regulatory compliance work involved
the development of an Anadromous Salmonid Habitat
Conservation Plan (ASHCP) in support of related FESA
and CESA permitting. The ASHCP and associated
permits provide coverage for "take" of coho and
steelhead while conducting otherwise legal activities
involved in municipal operations. The ASHCP project
involved a robust evaluation of coho and steelhead
recovery needs, effects of the City’s water and flood
control operations, and actions necessary to minimize
and fully mitigate the effects of those activities on these species and their habitat. Covered activities in the
ASHCP include operations, maintenance, and
rehabilitation of water supply, water system facilities, and municipal facilities; City lands management; and
monitoring.

The City of Santa Cruz holds two types of water rights:
appropriative and pre-1914. The City’s appropriative
rights cover diversions on the San Lorenzo River and
Newell Creek, whereas the pre-1914 rights are held for
the North Coast sources, including Reggiardo,
Laguna, and Majors creeks, as well as Liddell

Spring. Water rights, whether appropriative or pre1914, primarily govern the legal allocation and use of water resources for beneficial purposes, such as
municipal, agricultural, or industrial use. While water rights dictate who has the legal entitlement to divert
water and under what conditions, they do not consider
the ecological needs of species protected under CESA
or FESA. Water rights may not take into
account the minimum streamflows required to maintai
n fish habitat, water temperature, or migration
corridors critical to the survival of these species. The City made changes to its water rights address these
concerns, as described and detailed in the ASHCP, while simultaneously supporting the City’s efforts on
ensuring regional water supply reliability. These
changes were described in the Santa Cruz Water Rights
Project which was approved in 2021. The San Lorenzo
River appropriative water rights amendments were
approved by the State Water Resources Control Board
(SWRCB) on June 6, 2025. As the City’s pre-1914 North
Coast water rights are not generally subject to the
same SWRCB regulatory authority as the City’s San
Lorenzo rights, the City also dedicated portions of the North Coast rights to instream flow purposes as well.

Status: In September 2025, the City Council by
resolution accepted the amended appropriative water
rights, dedicated portions of its pre-1914 North Coast
water rights for the protection of special status aquatic species, approved the ASHCP, and authorized signature
of the FESA Section 10(a)(1)(b) permit. Finalization of CESA permitting is anticipated in 2026.

REPLACEMENT PROJECT
The Graham Hill Water Treatment Plant (GHWTP) was
originally commissioned in 1960. Condition
assessments of original concrete tanks and basins
concluded that three key process tanks were at the end
of their service life and in need of replacement. The
project includes the installation of two new 750,000-
gallon process tanks and a new 1,400,000-gallon
treated water tank, several new pump stations, and a
new electrical building. The project will improve the
seismic resiliency of the treatment plant as well as
enhance water quality. The Concrete Tanks Project
started construction in May of 2021. Two of the new
tanks and their pump stations and piping have been in
service since late 2023. The third tank, its hillside inlet pipe structure, a large pump station, and the remaining new potable water pipes are close to being ready for
disinfection, testing and commissioning in 2026.

37 NEWELL CREEK PIPELINE REPLACEMENT
PROJECT: FELTON-GRAHAM HILL The Newell Creek Pipeline (NCP) conveys raw water from Loch Lomond Reservoir to the Graham Hill Water
Treatment Plant. The approximately 9.5-milelong pipeline is a critical piece of infrastructure, particularly during the dry season and drought, but
also for major storm events and
emergencies. Circa 1960, the NCP was constructed
through mountainous terrain and is reaching the end
of its useful life as evident by increased frequency of breaks caused by ongoing corrosion and land
movement along its alignment, which is in an active
geologic region of the Santa Cruz Mountains.

The Felton-Graham Hill segment includes replacement
and re-alignment of approximately 3.75 miles of
Newell Creek Pipeline from the Felton Booster Pump
Station continuing south along Graham Hill Road. This
project intends to restore reliability and enhance the
resiliency of this crucial raw water supply transmission system component. Now well under construction,
approximately 80% of the pipeline for the project has
been installed and the railroad crossing is complete.

40 BELTZ 12 AMMONIA REMOVAL PROJECT The Beltz 12 facility was constructed in 2015 and includes a municipal water well and a water treatment
plant for the removal of iron and manganese. After
Beltz 12 was placed into service, naturally occurring
ammonia and hydrogen sulfide were found in the water
produced from this well. The current treatment process
can remove low concentrations of ammonia;
however, the facility must be turned off when ammonia
levels increase or accumulate. Improvements to the
facility are needed for the removal of ammonia in order to support current production levels from
the well, and maintain water quality and reliability
goals. The Beltz 12 Ammonia Removal Project was split
into two phases to facilitate design, manufacturing,
and construction of improvements. Phase One of
the project consists of installation of a new contact
tank and associated piping. Phase Two replaced the
chlorine generation and injection system, allowing the
facility to treat higher ammonia concentrations and
restore the reliable operation of the treatment plant
throughout the dry season.

ASR is a water supply augmentation strategy that involves active recharge of the local
groundwater basin. At the ASR facilities, the City will inject surface water, treated to drinking water
standards, during normal or wet periods into the local
groundwater basin which would act as an underground
storage reservoir. The stored water would then be
withdrawn by the City during dry periods via well
extraction. Major milestones and accomplishments for

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 03/09/2026
AGENDA OF: 03/24/2026
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of an Option Agreement for Site Lease to Support Direct Current Fast Charging Infrastructure (CM)
LOCATION: Districts 2, 3, and 5
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to:
1) Authorize the City Manager to execute an Option to Lease Agreement for Site Lease(s) for space at 3 public parking sites (Downtown Library Affordable Housing Parking Garage located at 119 Lincoln Street, the Parking Lot at 1111 Soquel Avenue, and Harvey West Park located at 326 Harvey West Boulevard) for the purpose of installing and operating Direct Current Fast Charging infrastructure; and
2) Adopt a CEQA finding of categorical exemption pursuant to: 14 CCR 15301 (Existing Facilities); 14 CCR 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land); and 14 CCR 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption).

BACKGROUND: To meet the City’s greenhouse gas emissions targets, the City’s Climate Action Plan 2030 (CAP 2030) calls for installing at least 1,247 new public electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, prioritizing frontline neighborhoods and high usage areas by 2030. The City is currently off pace from achieving its public EV charging measure. California’s National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program – Solicitation 3 is a competitive grant solicitation for the deployment of EV charging stations with publicly accessible, high-powered, direct current fast chargers (DCFCs) to support light-duty EV travel along major corridors in California. Applications for this funding are open and due March 25, 2026. EV chargers eligible for funding must be located in sites available to the public 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but local governments are not eligible to apply to the NEVI solicitation. Thus, the City is working with a development partner, Citizen Energy, who will prepare and apply for the funding, and the City will serve as a host of DCFC infrastructure.

DISCUSSION: Citizen’s Energy will apply to the NEVI grant for the installation of 12 DCFCs in high use areas. Award of this funding will advance progress on achievement of the City’s CAP 2030 EV charging measure. Specifically, should funds be awarded, Citizen’s Energy will install, own and maintain 4 DCFCs at each location: the Downtown Library Affordable Housing Parking Garage, the Parking Lot at 1111 Soquel Avenue, and Harvey West Park. These sites

11.1 were selected based on their ability to be competitive for award based on the solicitation’s criteria including project readiness, distance from Highway 1 exit and public availability 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, among others. Citizen’s Energy will meet and provide all grant match requirements including rebates committed from Central Coast Community Energy.

To demonstrate project readiness, it is necessary for the City to enter into an Option Agreement for Site Lease(s) (Attachment) of spaces in the 3 locations with Citizen’s Energy to include in the grant application. The parking locations to be leased would be at 119 Lincoln downtown library affordable housing project parking garage APN 005-141-22, 1111 Soquel parking lot 32 APN 010-042-19, and 326 Harvey West Blvd. parking lot APN 001-241-01. Should the grant be successful, staff will return with a final lease to be approved by Council to facilitate installation of the 12 DCFC EV charging stations.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: The proposed Council action is categorically exempt from CEQA under the following:
 Class 1 Categorical Exemption (14 CCR 15301 for Existing Facilities) and Class 4 Categorical Exemption (14 CCR 15304 for Minor Alterations to Land) - The proposed Council action consists of approving an Option Agreement, where a developer would make minor alterations to public property to install DCFCs, involving negligible or no expansion of existing use of the public facilities. Project ground disturbance would occur within previously disturbed areas and is limited in scope.  Common Sense Exemption (14 CCR 15061(b)(3)) – The proposed Council action is not subject to CEQA because it can be seen with certainty that the project will have no significant effect on the environment.

HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): This project directly supports the sustainability pillar of Health in All Policies and implements the CAP 2030 Measure T4.1 which calls for installing at least 1,247 new public EV charging stations prioritizing frontline neighborhoods and high usage areas by 2030. While the project’s EV charging stations are not in frontline neighborhoods, they are in high usage areas. The City could not site EV charging stations included in this project in frontline neighborhoods because the City does not own lots in these neighborhoods and these neighborhoods did not meet the criteria for selection (e.g., distance from Highway 1 exit, number of other public EV chargers nearby and project readiness).

However, the City has partnered with Ecology Action to deliver outreach to frontline community members on how to cost effective purchase and charge EVs, supporting the equity pillar of HiAP. The use of EVs reduces the release of tailpipe emissions from internal combustion engines which lessens the potential for respiratory illness such as asthma, supporting the public health pillar of HiAP.

FISCAL IMPACT:

1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: No

2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: No

3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: No FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: The option agreement will have no impact on the General Fund; a future final agreement could have positive benefit on the General Fund.

WHEREAS, Owner owns certain real property located at
___________________________________________________________ (the “Property”); and WHEREAS, Developer is applying for grant funding through the California Energy Commission (CEC) Solicitation GFO-25-602 (the “NEVI Grant”) to install, own, and operate DCFC electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, Developer requires site control to satisfy the “Project Readiness” requirements of the NEVI Grant; and
WHEREAS, Owner desires to support the expansion of public EV charging and is willing to grant Developer an option to license a portion of the Property for such purposes under the terms set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein, the parties agree as follows.

1. Grant of Option. Owner hereby grants to Developer the exclusive and irrevocable right and option (the “Option”) to license a portion of the Property, as generally depicted in the Preliminary Site Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Premises”), for the purpose of constructing, installing, operating, and maintaining a NEVI-compliant EV charging station.

2. Option Period. The term of this Option (the “Option Period”) shall commence on the Effective Date and shall expire twenty four (24) months thereafter.

3. Exercise of Option. Developer may exercise the Option at any time during the Option Period, by written notice of exercise to Owner (the “Notice of Exercise”). Owner and Developer shall execute a “Site License Agreement” within thirty (30) days of Developer delivering a Notice of Exercise. The exercise of this Option is expressly contingent upon Developer receiving a "Notice of Proposed Award" (NOPA) from the California Energy Commission under NEVI Grant GFO-25-602 and the Due Diligence provisions set forth in Section 4. The Site License Agreement shall have a term of no less than ten (10) years.

4. Right of Entry and Due Diligence. During the Option Period, Developer and its agents, contractors, and consultants shall have the right to enter the Property at reasonable times and upon Owner’s prior written consent to perform "Due Diligence Activities," including but not limited to design, surveying, engineering, utility feasibility, and environmental assessments. Developer shall comply with all onsite health and safety requirements from City during such entry. Upon reasonable advance notice to Owner, Developer shall have access during normal business hours to any and all historic documents, drawings, plans, correspondence, and memoranda in the possession or control of Owner which relate to the Property and which may be needed for regulatory planning, permitting, utility, or general

11.14 design purposes. During the Option Period, Owner and its agents, contractors, and consultants shall confirm that the license proposed by Developer is consistent with all existing utility capacities and easement locations.

5. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Owner represents and warrants to Developer that it owns the Property. Owner further represents and warrants to Developer that Owner and person signing this Option Agreement on behalf of Owner has the full and unrestricted power and authority to execute and deliver this Option Agreement and grant the interests herein granted. Owner also represents that, upon and/or in connection with the exercise of the Option by Developer, Owner will obtain any necessary consents and/or subordination agreements from any lienholders and any and all tenants having a possessory interest in the Property at the time the Option is exercised. Additionally, Owner represents and warrants to Developer that as of the date hereof: (i) no third party has any option or right to purchase, lease, license, or otherwise occupy or use all or any part of the Property to perform EV charging services; (ii) Owner has not received any written notice of any pending eminent domain proceedings or other governmental actions or any judicial actions of any kind against Owner’s interest in the Property; and (iii) Owner has not received written notice that it is in violation of any governmental law or regulation applicable to its interest in the Property or its operation thereon, including, without limitation, any environmental laws and has no reason to believe that there are grounds for any claim of any such violation.

6. Indemnification. Developer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Owner, its officers, agents and employees from all liability, loss, claim, damage, cost and expense arising from or relating to the negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of Developer, its contractors or representatives, except to the extent such property damage, personal injury or death results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Owner, its contractors, employees or representatives. The foregoing indemnity provision shall survive the exercise of the Option or the termination of this Option Agreement for a period of twelve (12) months and shall thereafter terminate and expire.

7. Termination. Either party may terminate this Option Agreement if the Developer fails to receive a "Notice of Proposed Award" (NOPA) from the California Energy Commission under the NEVI Grant. This Option Agreement is also contingent upon both parties’ satisfaction of their due diligence investigations, as further specified in Section 4. If, in either party’s sole and absolute discretion, the results of such investigations are inconsistent with a Site License Agreement, either party may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to the other prior to the expiration of the Option Period.

8. Effect of Option Agreement; Interest in Real Property. The parties intend that the Option Agreement create a valid and present interest in the Property in favor of Developer. Therefore, this Option Agreement shall be deemed an interest in and encumbrance upon the Property and shall be binding upon the Property and Owner and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Developer and its successors and assigns. Owner covenants and agrees that during the Option Period, Owner shall not convey the Property or any interest therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach to the Property unless the transferee or lien holder, as the case may be, shall agree, in writing, to be bound by this Option Agreement. Owner shall also protect and defend Developer’s interest in the Property and its rights and benefits under this Option Agreement.

11.15 9. Property Improvements. During the Option Period, Owner shall notify Developer of any proposed improvements on the Property and shall work with Developer to minimize the impact of such improvements to the proposed EV charging infrastructure and services.

10. Assignment. Developer shall at all times have the right to sell, assign, encumber, or transfer all or any part of its rights and interests under this Option Agreement without Owner’s consent; provided, however, that the term of any such transfer shall not extend beyond the Option Period and that any and all such transfers shall be expressly made subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Option Agreement. Developer shall provide Owner prior notice of any proposed assignment and notice after any assignment is made.

11. No Waiver. No waiver of any right under this Option Agreement shall be effective for any purpose unless it is in writing and is signed by the party hereto possessing the right, nor shall any such waiver be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent right, term or provision of this Option Agreement.

12. Confidentiality. Owner shall maintain in the strictest confidence, for the sole benefit of Developer, Developer’s site design and product design, methods of operation and methods of construction and power production or availability of the Developer’s project, and, without written permission from Developer, unless otherwise required by law, Owner shall not share such confidential information to any person or in any form.

13. Relationship of Parties. The duties, obligations and liabilities of each of the parties are not joint or collective. This Option Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed to create an association, joint venture, fiduciary relationship or partnership between Owner and Developer or to impose any partnership obligation or liability or any trust or agency obligation or relationship upon either party. Owner and Developer shall not have any right, power, or authority to enter into any agreement or undertaking for, or act on behalf of, or to act or be an agent or representative of, or to otherwise bind, the other party.

14. No Representation. Developer makes no representation or warranty as to the likelihood that it will exercise the Option or as to the suitability of the Property for development of EV charging infrastructure and services project.

15. Partial Invalidity. Should any term or provision of this Option Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Option Agreement or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be effected thereby, and each remaining term and provision of this Option Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 03/05/2026
AGENDA OF: 03/24/2026
DEPARTMENT: Human Resources
SUBJECT: Resolution Amending the City of Santa Cruz Classification and Compensation Plan and Personnel Complement to Establish the Classification of Water Treatment Supervisor (Lead) (HR) LOCATION: Citywide
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to adopt a resolution amending the City of Santa Cruz Classification and Compensation Plan and Personnel Complement to establish the classification of Water Treatment Supervisor (Lead) in the Water Department.

Implementation of and funding for the classification action approved by the City Council will not occur until the required meet and confer process has been completed in accordance with the City’s obligations under the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act.

BACKGROUND: On occasion, operational needs within City departments evolve due to increases in service demands, regulatory requirements, or major capital improvement projects. In these cases, the creation of new classifications may be appropriate to ensure that adequate supervision and operational oversight are maintained.

The Water Department is currently undertaking a significant period of operational growth and capital investment, including implementation of the City’s ten-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) including major upgrades to the Graham Hill Water Treatment Plant. These projects will significantly increase the complexity of treatment plant operations and the need for consistent frontline supervision during construction, commissioning, and ongoing plant operations.

DISCUSSION: The Water Department operates several critical water treatment facilities that ensure safe and reliable drinking water for the community. As the City advances the ten-year Capital Improvement Program, including the modernization and upgrade of the Graham Hill Water Treatment Plant, operational demands on the treatment division will increase.

The upcoming treatment plant upgrades will require expanded coordination between operators, maintenance staff, engineers, contractors, and regulatory agencies. These efforts will occur while maintaining uninterrupted treatment operations and regulatory compliance.

13.1 To ensure sufficient frontline daily supervision across multiple shifts and complex operational activities, the Water Department has identified a need for a dedicated lead-level supervisory role that provides day-to-day operational leadership within the treatment plant environment.

The proposed Water Treatment Supervisor (Lead) classification is intended to provide this additional operational oversight. This role is expected to:
 Provide frontline supervision and coordination of Water Treatment Operators and related staff.
 Assist with daily operational decision-making, scheduling, and work prioritization.  Support plant operations during the Graham Hill Treatment Plant upgrade and other CIP projects.
 Serve as a technical lead to ensure regulatory compliance and operational continuity during construction and commissioning phases.
 Coordinate communication between operations staff, engineering teams, and contractors working on treatment facilities.

Unlike situations where a classification study is necessary due to substantial changes in duties of an existing position, the creation of the Water Treatment Supervisor (Lead) classification is driven by increased operational complexity and supervisory needs associated with major infrastructure investment and system upgrades. Establishing this classification will strengthen operational oversight and ensure continued reliability of the City’s water treatment systems during this critical period of capital improvement.

The proposed classification will be incorporated into the City’s Classification and Compensation Plan and used by the Water Department to provide additional supervisory coverage and operational leadership within treatment operations.

The final job description for the Water Treatment Supervisor (Lead) classification will be developed internally by the Human Resources Department in coordination with the Water Department to ensure alignment with operational needs and the City’s classification standards.

Any aspects of the job description that fall within the scope of representation will be addressed through the meet and confer process with the appropriate employee organizations in accordance with the City’s obligations under the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA). Implementation of the classification will not occur until all applicable meet and confer requirements have been satisfied.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: Not applicable.

HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): Establishing the Water Treatment Supervisor (Lead) classification supports the City’s Health in All Policies approach by strengthening operational oversight of critical drinking water infrastructure. Reliable treatment operations and regulatory compliance protect public health by ensuring the continued delivery of safe and high-quality drinking water to the community. This action also supports workforce sustainability by providing appropriate supervision during a period of significant infrastructure upgrades and operational demands.

13.2 FISCAL IMPACT:

1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: No

2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: No

3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: Yes FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: The fiscal impact associated with the creation of the Water Treatment Supervisor (Lead) classification will be funded through the Water Enterprise Fund.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 03/03/2026
AGENDA OF: 03/24/2026
DEPARTMENT: Police/Public Works
SUBJECT: Authorize the Purchase of Two (2) Replacement Police Traffic Motorcycles and Two (2) Mounted Radios Using Traffic Offender 212 Funds – Budget Adjustment (PD/PW)
LOCATION: Citywide
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to adopt a resolution amending the FY 2026 budget to transfer funds from the Traffic Offender 212 Fund, in the amount of $95,718, to the General Fund and to increase revenues and expenditures in the General Fund by $95,718 to purchase two (2) replacement police traffic motorcycles and two (2) replacement mounted radios.

BACKGROUND: The Santa Cruz Police Department (SCPD) requires specialized patrol motorcycles to respond to calls for service, traffic accidents, and to conduct traffic enforcement.

The SCPD’s motorcycle fleet is customized with safety equipment, lighting, advanced communication systems and technology, and additional features to support officers in daily patrol operations.

City Administrative Procedure Order (APO) section I, #52 – Use of City Vehicles – outlines the minimum criteria for fleet replacement. When the threshold criteria are met, a vehicle can be considered a possible candidate for replacement after review by Fleet Maintenance. For police patrol vehicles, the minimum threshold criteria are five (5) years and/or 85,000 miles.

SCPD currently operates ten (10) traffic motorcycles for patrol use, which range between nine (9) and nineteen (19 ) years old.

DISCUSSION: Two (2) police traffic Harley Davidson motorcycles have been identified by the Fleet Services Supervisor for replacement in FY 2026 (Vehicles #309-2007, #314-2008) and were selected based on age and overall condition. Both motorcycles and radios are over 18 years old. The current mounted radios are not compatible with the anticipated countywide P25 Phase 2 radio system upgrade. The replacement motorcycles will provide enhanced reliability, improved maneuverability and braking, and advanced safety features.

Upon receiving the replacement motorcycles, the two (2) current motorcycles and radios will be retired from the City fleet and auctioned per City APO I-52. All auction revenue will be returned to the City’s General Fund.

14.1 The purchase of two (2) replacement police traffic motorcycles and accompanying mounted radios will be funded in full by the Traffic Offender 212 Fund.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: The proposed replacement of police traffic motorcycles and accompanying mounted radios for the SCPD is not a “Project” under CEQA. (See Public Resources Code § 21065; 14 CCR 15379(b) – “’Project’ does not include . . . Continuing administrative or maintenance activities, such as purchases for supplies[.]”.)
HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): The purchase of police traffic motorcycles and mounted radios for the SCPD using the Traffic Offender 212 Fund supports the City’s HiAP pillar of public health by funding the maintenance of essential police vehicles, thereby sustaining an adequate level of service for existing and new residents, city employees, and visitors.

FISCAL IMPACT:

1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: Yes

2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: Yes

3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: No FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: The two (2) replacement police traffic motorcycles and mounted radios will be purchased out of the General Fund, with $95,718 in funding transferred from the Traffic Offender 212 Fund and General Fund revenues and expenditures increasing by the same amount. The net fiscal impact on the General Fund is zero (0) dollars.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: 03/04/2026
AGENDA OF: 03/24/2026
DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT: Lease Agreement and Construction Coordination Agreement with the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History (PR)
LOCATION: District 2
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to approve and authorize the City Manager to execute, in a form approved by the City Attorney, the 1) Construction Coordination Agreement, and 2) Amended and Restated Lease Agreement between the City and the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History.

BACKGROUND: The City of Santa Cruz owns and leases the building located at 1305 E. Cliff Drive to the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History (Museum). The front portion of the building (e.g. closest to E. Cliff Dr.) is the historic Carnegie library. Two additions were added on the north side of the historic portion of the building in the 1960s to make up what is the current facility. Historically, the building was managed by the City as the first museum in Santa Cruz, dating back to 1904 with the founding collection of Santa Cruz lighthouse keeper and naturalist, Laura Hecox.

Today, the Museum is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission oriented toward “Connecting people with nature and science to inspire stewardship of the natural world.” The Museum features educational, hands-on exhibits for children, families and adults who are curious about the world they live in and the natural history of one of the most scenic locations on the California coast. Many locals know the Museum by the life-size gray whale statue, created in 1982, that rests near its entrance, between Tyrrell Park and Seabright State Beach.

The Museum’s existing lease for the building expires December 15, 2030. In early 2024, the Museum leadership approached the City to discuss its future and its needs related to the building.

The current building is aging, needs improvements to address substandard storage and archives space, exhibits area, and office space, and lacks a dedicated education space. The Museum engaged the City and proposed initiating a public process to engage neighbors and key stakeholders to develop concepts for improvements.

The long-term goal for both the City and the Museum is to improve accessibility, protect the collections and archives, and invest in the historic building. While the City owns the building,

15.1 the Museum has taken the leadership role to fundraise and financially support a process to engage the community and ultimately design and implement the building improvements.

In May 2024, the City Council approved a Planning and Coordination Agreement between Parks and Recreation and the Museum to initiate a public process to engage with the community, and begin preliminary design and implementation of the building improvement project (the “Project”) (Exhibit 1 to Construction Coordination Agreement.pdf). An information report was provided to City Council in October 2024 with updates on the process (Museum of Natural History-Information Report.pdf). Since that time, the Museum facilitated outreach and engagement opportunities with the Seabright Neighborhood and community. It is fundraising to complete the project and recently selected a design-build entity to further design and construct the Project. It has also worked closely with City staff to prepare a Construction Coordination Agreement, AIA Construction Contract with the Museum’s proposed design-builder, and an Amended and Restated Lease Agreement to extend the term and update the terms and conditions of the original lease with the Museum for the building.

The City of Santa Cruz Planning Commission approved the Coastal Permit, Design Permit, and Special Use Permit for the Project on October 16, 2025.

DISCUSSION:

CONSTRUCTION COORDINATION AGREEMENT
In accordance with the language and direction established by the Planning and Coordination Agreement, the City and Museum have worked together in consultation with the City Attorney’s Office to draft the Construction Coordination Agreement (Museum of Natural History-DRAFT Construction Coordination Agreement.pdf). The Museum will be responsible for funding and overseeing complete design and construction activities, including improvements to the building, grading, paving, foundations, framing, and interior and exterior buildout for the primary building phase of the Project, with potential to oversee some improvements to Tyrell Park. Improvements to the building include, but are not limited to: structural improvements to the building, additions to the building’s footprint, upgraded HVAC and environmental control systems, improvements to accessibility to the leased area, including access pathways and parking areas adjacent to the building, compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and interior improvements to exhibit halls, office, and collection spaces.

The Museum has completed preparation of conceptual, preliminary plans for the Project, incorporated within the Construction Coordination Agreement as Exhibit 3. The Museum intends to hire a Bogard Construction who will work with a subcontractor to complete the 100% design documents and specifications, construction documents and specifications and then construct all improvements contemplated to complete construction of the Project.

The City and Museum now seek approval from the City Council to enter into the Construction Coordination Agreement to set forth their respective obligations related specifically to the final design and construction of the Project.

The exhibits to the Construction Coordination Agreement include:
 The parties’ prior 2024 Planning and Coordination Agreement,  A description of the Leased Area for Project construction,

15.2  Project preliminary plans
 The draft AIA design-build construction contract,
 Contractor insurance and bond requirements,
 Contractor bonds, including Labor and Material Bond and Faithful Performance Bond

AMENDED AND RESTATED LEASE AGREEMENT
Concurrently with the City Council’s consideration of the Construction Coordination Agreement, the City and the Museum seek to enter into an Amended and Restated Lease Agreement (the “Lease,” attached).

The proposed Lease will replace and supersede the original lease agreement for the building, lease to the Museum the renovated building and the immediately surrounding entrance patio / terrace, and grant the Museum a license to use the surrounding Tyrrell Park.

The following are several relevant and highlighted terms included in the proposed Lease:
 30-year term plus two 10-year options to extend (50 years total)  The Lease will commence the date of the City’s issuance of the certificate of occupancy following construction. The original lease will be in effect through construction and up until the commencement date of this Lease.
 Lease rent payment of $1/year
 The Museum will contribute $10,000 per year to a City-held Capital Improvement Fund for future repairs and improvements to the building for the duration of the Lease. o The annual contribution minimum will increase by 10% every five years o At year 30 and year 40, the City may adjust the annual contribution amount, however such adjustment may not exceed 15% of the existing contribution amount at the time of the adjustment.
 The City will be responsible for the cost of utilities for the first five (5) years of the Lease. At years 6-10 of the Lease, the Museum will pay 25% of utility costs. At years 11- 15 of the Lease, the Museum will pay 50% of utility costs. At years 16-20 of the Lease, the Museum will pay 75% of the utility costs. Beginning year 20 and for the remainder of the Lease, the Museum will pay 100% of utility costs. The City’s payment responsibility for utilities, however, will be capped at $25,000/year and Museum will be responsible for paying any amount that exceeds $25,000.
 The City will be responsible for maintenance of the structural components of the building, the water meter and electrical service to the building, sanitary sewer, the roof, and fire sprinkler system. The Museum will be responsible for maintaining the HVAC system, interior walls, floor coverings, ceiling, fixtures, appliances, and electrical systems.
 The Museum will be responsible for procuring and maintaining various insurance coverages for the duration of the Lease to protect the Museum and City and insure against claims for injuries and/or damages to property. The Museum will be responsible for the costs of the insurance coverage and policies.

The staff recommendation is for the City Council to consider approving the Construction Coordination Agreement and Amended and Restated Lease Agreement.

15.3 CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION: This project has already been approved and CEQA exemptions were applied. The Planning Commission at its October 16, 2025 meeting acknowledged that the Project qualifies for two Categorial Exemptions (Section 15301, Class 1, Existing Facilities and Section 15331, Class 31, Historical Resource Rehabilitation).

HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES (HiAP): The Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History is a partner of the City of Santa Cruz and the Parks and Recreation Department and is aligned with both the mission of Parks and Recreation and the City’s Health in All Policies with respect to health/wellness, sustainability, and equity. The Museum embodies these elements through its mission, programs, and strategic plans. The proposed improvements of the Museum’s building would allow for sustainability, accessibility, and the long-term viability of a key community partner housed in a City park.

FISCAL IMPACT:

1. The recommendation in this report impacts the General Fund: Yes

2. This recommendation requires a budget adjustment: No

3. The recommendation creates an on-going expenditure commitment: Yes FISCAL IMPACT DESCRIPTION: Approval of the Construction Coordination Agreement and Amended and Restated Lease Agreement creates a long-term fiscal commitment for the General Fund through a phased utility cost-sharing model and ongoing structural maintenance.

While the Museum assumes 100% of the Project’s design and construction costs, the City will cover 100% of utilities for the first five years (capped at $25,000 annually), with the Museum’s share increasing by 25% every five years until year twenty. To offset future liabilities, the Museum will contribute an initial $10,000 annually to a City-held Capital Improvement Fund, which will increase by 10% every five years to support long-term building repairs.

The City will also be a signatory on Substantive Change Orders and will have access to change order logs of NonSubstantive Change Orders, as defined below. i. A “Substantive Change Order” resulting in the fundamental change to the design and scope of the Work, shall be subject to the advance written approval of both the Museum and the City, by and through the City Representative. A substantive change includes, but is not limited to, a change that materially alters the original Work, including adding, deleting, or significantly altering a major component of the Work, the

15.9 material quality of materials/services used for completion of the Work, affects the structural integrity, exterior appearance, or mechanical systems of the Building, violates any applicable building code or requirement within the Construction Contract, decreases the value of the Building, or materially increases City’s cost to operate or maintain the Building and Property. The Museum shall timely notify the City Representative of any Substantive Change Order. The City Representative shall respond to the Museum within forty-eight (48) hours of Museum’s notification, and the City’s approval of a Substantive Change Order shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Museum specifies that an expedited response is needed to keep up with the course of construction and avoid delays and/or cost overruns, the City will use its best efforts to respond within twenty-four (24) hours.

In the event of an emergency Substantive Change Order, the Museum shall notify the City as soon as reasonably practicable for the City’s subsequent written approval. An emergency Substantive Change Order includes, but is not limited to a change required to prevent imminent danger, differing site conditions causing an imminent threat to the Work, significant property danger, or system failures.
ii. A “Non-Substantive Change Order” is subject to approval by Museum, with notification to the City Representative as soon as reasonably practicable. The City is not a signatory to a Non-Substantive Change Order, but shall have the right to access and review all Non-Substantive Change Orders. A Non-Substantive Change Order includes, but is not limited to, a change in the Building’s interior finishes that are aesthetic in nature, manufacturer or material supplier substitutions, subcontractor substitutions, minor corrections to clerical errors in the plans or design drawings, and minor scheduling revisions.
iii. The Construction Contract must state that no change orders will be approved without the Museum’s prior written consent, and for any requiring City approval, without the City’s prior written consent. iv. The Museum shall ensure the City has timely access to the Contractor's change order log and related documentation, and the City may, at its option, choose to attend Museum-Contractor meetings where change orders are reviewed and discussed.
h. Preservation of Public Property/Monuments/Repairs and Replacements. During the course of the Work, and as specified in the Construction Contract, Museum and its Contractor shall exercise due care and install suitable safeguards to protect and avoid damage to infrastructure and other features of City property and the public right-of-way which are unrelated to the Work. Museum shall replace, or have replaced, or repair, or have repaired any damage to the

15.10 infrastructure and other features of City property and the public right-of-way.

Any such repair or replacement shall be to the satisfaction, and subject to the reasonable approval, of the City.
i. Environmental Covenants.
i. Within the Leased Area, Museum shall not engage in any activity on, under, or about the City property or public right-of-way that violates any Federal, State, or local laws, rules or regulations pertaining to hazardous, toxic, or infectious substances or materials (“Hazardous Substances” or “Hazardous Materials”), and shall promptly, at Museum’s expense, take reasonable investigatory and/or remedial action to stabilize the site and prevent additional releases of any Hazardous Substances created, released, or exacerbated by Museum or its Contractor. Once the site has been stabilized, Museum and City will promptly meet and confer regarding any additional investigation and/or remediation. Museum is not responsible for remediation of Hazardous Substances that were not created, released, or exacerbated by Museum.

For the purposes of this Construction Coordination Agreement, the term “Hazardous Substances” or “Hazardous Materials” shall mean any substance or material which is capable of posing a risk of injury to health, safety or property, including all those materials and substances designated as hazardous or toxic by any Federal, State, or local laws, rules, ordinances, regulation, or policy, including but not limited to, all of those substances and materials defined as “Toxic Materials” in Sections 66680 through 66685 of Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations, Division 4, Chapter 30, as the same shall be amended from time to time, or any other materials requiring remediation under Federal, State, or Local laws, rules, ordinances, regulations, or policies. ii. Except as caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of City or its respective officials, officers, employees, and agents, and within the Leased Area, Museum shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City and its respective officials, officers, employees, and agents from any and all costs, claims, expenses, penalties, and attorneys’ fees and costs arising out of a breach by Museum, its Contractor, employees or agents of the covenant included above, including but not limited to, the investigation, remediation, and abatement of any contamination therein involved where the contamination was caused, released, or exacerbated by the acts or omissions of Museum, Contractor, or their respective employees, agents, and invitees.
j. Permits; Compliance with Laws. Museum shall at its sole cost and expense obtain and conform to all necessary permits and approvals related to the Project, including zoning entitlements, building permits, encroachment permits, and

15.11 licenses for the construction of the Work, give all necessary notices, pay all applicable fees and taxes (unless otherwise waived by City Council or their designee), and comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, environmental or otherwise, in the demolition, construction, and development of the Project. Museum also agrees that the Work shall comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other applicable accessibility laws, and shall provide certification of compliance thereof. Museum agrees that its Contractor working in the City shall comply with any and all applicable federal, state, and local licensing requirements and agrees to provide proof of the Contractor’s current City of Santa Cruz Business license tax certificates. k. Site Access/Right of Entry and Site Conditions.
i. City maintains its rights of entry to the Property, as provided pursuant to the Lease, including access to the public right-of-way and other City facilities.
ii. Museum and/or its Contractor shall at all times maintain proper, safe, and secure facilities and provide safe access for inspection by City and its employees or agents, to all parts of the Work. Nothing in this Construction Coordination Agreement is intended or shall be construed to limit in any way access by the City to the Work area at all reasonable times during the duration of this Construction Coordination Agreement, or the right of entry or inspection that the City, and its employees, contractors, and consultants may have pursuant to the Amended Lease including access to the public right-of-way and other City facilities on the Property, or by operation of law.
iii. During the course of performing the Work, the security and safety of the Work area/site, and construction materials and equipment will be the Museum’s sole responsibility. Museum shall ensure that the Work site is properly maintained in accordance with applicable legal and safety requirements, that all necessary barriers or signage to deter unauthorized entry and to protect the public are in place, such as notifying, warning, and protecting the public of any dangerous conditions on the Property related to the Work, installing a secure construction fence, security surveillance and patrol, and other reasonable measures as further may be requested by City to protect public health and safety during the course of the Work. l. Acceptance of Public Improvements. Upon completion of any severable improvement or improvements that are public improvements, as reasonably determined by City, that are part of the Work, if such improvements are found to be in substantial compliance with the Plans, then the City, if required, will certify that the improvement(s) is/are complete and, no more than 30 days

15.12 following such certification, City will accept the improvement(s) on its Property. Museum shall bear all costs of inspection and certification for acceptance, unless otherwise waived by the City Council or its designee.

Acceptance by the City shall not constitute a waiver by the City of any defects in the improvement(s).
m. City-Ownership of Public Improvements. All permanent improvements and permanent fixtures on the Property, including the completed Work, shall, without compensation to Museum, automatically and without any act of Museum or any third party become City’s property. At the expiration of or earlier termination of the Amended Lease, the Museum shall surrender all such improvements to the City, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and thirdparty claims, as further specified in the Parties’ Amended Lease. n. State Prevailing Wage & Federal Labor Standard Wage Provisions. i. Museum and Contractor performing the Work shall conform the prevailing wage requirements and federal labor standard wage provisions applicable to the Work under this Construction Coordination Agreement. Museum, and its Contractors shall adhere to the prevailing wage determinations made by the Director of Industrial Relations pursuant to California Labor Code Part 7, Chapter 1, Article 2, applicable to the Work. The Parties acknowledge that all workers employed in the execution of a public works contract (as such term is defined in California Labor Code Section 1720 et seq. and Section 1782(d)(1)) must be paid not less than the specified prevailing wage rates for the type of work performed.
ii. Museum agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City and its officers, officials, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs, expenses, attorney’s fees, damages, fines, financial consequences, interest, and penalties, of any kind and nature, arising from or relating to any failure (or alleged failure) of the Museum and its Contractor to pay prevailing wages or to otherwise comply with the requirements of prevailing wage law relating to a public work, to the extent those requirements apply to the Work. o. Storm Water Requirements. To the extent applicable to the Work under this Construction Coordination Agreement, Museum, Contractor, and their employees, subcontractors, and agents are required to abide by the applicable City of Santa Cruz Storm Water Best Management Practices (BMPs) for the duration of the Work.

15.13 6. Museum’s Responsibilities.
a. Project Management. The Museum shall be responsible for all Project funding, management, and oversight, including but not limited to hiring and supervising the Contractor to complete all Construction Documents and to construct the Project. This does not preclude the City, or other entity, from providing funding, fee waivers, grants or participating in grants to support the Project. b. Consultants and Contractors.

SCMNH/City Planning and Coordination Agreement

PLANNING AND COORDINATION AGREEMENT

BY AND BETWEEN

THE CITY OF SANTA CRUZ

AND THE

SANTA CRUZ MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY
This Planning and Coordination Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into on __________ 2024, by and between the City of Santa Cruz, a municipal corporation (“City”), and the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History, a California non-profit public benefit corporation (“Museum”). City and Museum may also be referred individually as a “Party” and collectively, as the “Parties”.

RECITALS
WHEREAS, the City of Santa Cruz owns the historic former Carnegie Library building (“Building”) and surrounding property, including Tyrrell Park, at 1305 East Cliff Drive; and WHEREAS, the Museum is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and leases the Building from the City for the purposes of operating a museum of natural history. Additionally, Museum maintains parts of the surrounding property under an Adopt-a-Park agreement; and WHEREAS, the Museum has operated at the Building since 1954. The Museum took over operations from the City in 2009 as an independent non-profit organization, and currently offers important resources to the City, its residents and its visitors, including providing educational curriculum; care and oversight of the Building; family-friendly programs and events; stewardship of important local natural history and scientific collections; and a destination for tourism; and
WHEREAS, the Building is in need of upgrades and improvements in order to support its continued utility, improve accessibility, protect the Museum’s priceless natural history collections, and support the Museum’s continued use as a public and educational institution; and WHEREAS, the Museum and the City intend to work collaboratively to develop a project description for a building improvement project (“the Project”) to support the use and health of the Building and potentially surrounding property, improve accessibility, protect and preserve the Museum’s collections, and improve the Building for continued use by the Museum.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals, the Parties hereto agree, as follows:

1. Purpose of this Agreement. The Parties enter into this Agreement to describe the Parties’ respective goals and responsibilities related to planning, coordination, and developing the scope of the Project.

2. Term. This Agreement will commence upon execution by both Parties and will terminate upon completing and acceptance of the work related to this Project. This Agreement may also be terminated upon a 30-day written notice by either Party to the May 29

15.19 2
SCMNH/City Planning and Coordination Agreement
other if adequate funding cannot be procured for the Project, or if either Party has made a determination that the Project is infeasible or undesirable. This Agreement may be extended or terminated by mutual written agreement of the Parties.

3. The Project.
a. The Parties desire to pursue the Project, intended to include upgrades and improvements to the former Carnegie Library building located at 1305 East Cliff Drive. These improvements may include, but are not limited to:
structural improvements to Building to address drainage and other structural concerns; addition(s) to Building’s footprint for a classroom and additional restroom(s); upgraded HVAC and environmental control systems; improvements to accessibility, such as Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) entrance and elevator; and interior improvements to exhibit halls, office and collections spaces. In addition, the scope of the Project may include minor modifications to Tyrrell Park, including but not limited to improvements to pathways to support ADA access within the Park and the amphitheater, as well as safety, educational, and rehabilitative upgrades and improvements to the grey whale sculpture, the learning garden, and surrounding area. The Parties acknowledge that this anticipated scope is preliminary and is likely to change as a result of anticipated technical studies and information currently unknown to the Parties.
b. The Parties intend to have the final project scope memorialized in a later agreement related to the Project’s construction to be negotiated and approved by the Parties. The final Project scope, including the Project plans and specifications, must be approved by the City Council before the Museum proceeds with construction activities. The Parties further acknowledge that it is possible that the Project could be executed in phases and therefore may require more than one zoning permit and/or building permit. The Parties also acknowledge that this Agreement does not require or commit the Museum to commence or perform any improvements to the Building or Tyrrell Park, or to complete any specific improvements described in this Agreement.

4. Communication and Coordination. The Museum and the City will each designate a Representative, or primary “point of contact,” to be responsible for communications, coordination, oversight, and management of planning activities related to the Project, as set out below:

Museum Representative:

Felicia Van Stolk
Executive Director, Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History 831-420-6115, ext. 11; [email protected]

15.20 3
SCMNH/City Planning and Coordination Agreement
City Representative:

Tony Elliot
Director of Parks and Recreation
831-420-5270; [email protected]
The Representatives will meet and work together on a regular basis to further the goals of the Project. The Representatives will participate in meetings with design professionals, consultants, and contractors. City’s Representative shall have the option, but not the obligation, to participate in such meetings. The Representatives may appoint one or more designees to perform tasks related to the Project. In the event that either Party wishes to change the Representative designated in this Agreement, that Party will notify the other Party.

5. Museum’s Responsibilities.
a. Project Management. The Museum intends to hire one or more Project Managers to assist the Museum with planning, coordination, outreach, and management related to the planning of the Project. The Project Manager(s) will be contracted by the Museum and will take direction from Museum staff.

The Museum will notify the City if it hires or replaces a Project Manager. b. Donations and Funding. The Museum intends to fund the Project using donations and grants from private and public sources. The Museum certifies that it follows best accounting practices. This Agreement does not commit the City to using public funds for the Project, but does not preclude City from contributing funds or participating in grant funding.
c. Technical Studies. The Museum will be responsible for procuring or providing all technical studies and related documents that will be required for planning or permit approval purposes, including biological resources, cultural resources, historical resources, and traffic and transportation studies. d. Design. The Museum will be responsible for creating and funding the interior and exterior designs, architectural plans, and construction drawings for the Project, subject to City approval.
e. Landscaping. Museum will prepare a proposed landscape plan for Tyrrell Park that enhances accessibility, drainage, and current uses of the park, including educational, recreational, and passive community use. This does not preclude the City from contributing funds or participating in grant funding for preparation of the proposed landscape plan. The proposed landscape plan will include improvements to the pathways throughout the park, and may also include improvements and rehabilitation to the existing amphitheater and the grey whale sculpture. These improvements may be executed as part of the initial improvement project or through subsequent project phases. The Museum and the City may also elect to execute only a portion of, or none of, the improvements. The proposed landscape plan will be subject to City DocuSign Envelope ID: 599D43C5-F5E7-45D7-B702-0BDCADDBC32A

15.21 4
SCMNH/City Planning and Coordination Agreement
approval. The City and the Museum intend to collaborate with each other to try to secure funding for any improvements to Tyrrell Park. f. Consultants and Contractors. Museum will select the
consultants/contractors for technical studies, architectural design, public outreach, engineering, and other related services for the Project. Museum will ensure that all contracts entered into by Museum in furtherance of the Project are consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Museum will provide copies of any contract related to the conceptual phase of project to the City for review and approval, upon the request of City. The Museum will provide any proposed contracts related to the preparation of construction drawings, landscape designs, engineering plans, structural engineering plans, and similar trades that go beyond the conceptual phase to the City for review and approval, without the City having to request copies of the contract. The City will not be a party to any contract with any selected contractor for the Project, unless necessary as the Landlord of the Premises Museum will oversee any selected consultant’s or contractor’s work on the Project, and will review and approve, in writing, all payment requests from the consultant(s)/contractor(s) on the Project. Museum is responsible for making all appropriate payments for any selected consultant’s or contractor’s work on the Project.

As further specified in this Agreement, before Museum hires the construction contractor(s), the Parties will enter into a construction contract, setting forth the Parties’ and the construction contractors’ construction-related responsibilities in greater detail.
g. Permits and Approvals. The Museum will be responsible at its sole cost and expense for obtaining all necessary permits and approvals related to the Project, including zoning entitlements, building permits and construction related approvals. This does not preclude the City from potentially providing waivers, if legally permissible, or support for grant applications for these expenses. The Museum will respond to any permitting authority’s permitting questions and requests for documents or information.
h. Outreach and Communication. The Museum and the City will meet with each other to develop a shared understanding for how the Parties will address inquiries and outreach related to the Project. The Museum will be the lead party in charge of outreach and communication regarding the Project, in close consultation and cooperation with the City. The Museum will have primary responsibility for holding public information meetings and responding to public inquiries regarding the Project. City is responsible for holding any permit-related public hearings, to the extent required by law.

The City will keep the Museum informed of potential grant opportunities that may support the Project, and will act as co-applicant on grants if appropriate and agreed to by both Parties. d. Permits and Approvals. The City will be responsible for conducting required public hearing processes to consider zoning entitlements, and issuing zoning and building permits for the Project, in accordance with local, state, and Federal laws and regulations. To the extent applicable, the City will be responsible for completing any CEQA review for the Project in accordance with its standard policies and procedures.
e. Cooperation. The City will communicate with the Museum on matters relating to the Project, including design, permitting, funding, grants, public communications, outreach, and construction.
