CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: 2.a
MEETING DATE: September 14, 2026
SUBJECT: Sales and Use Tax Reporting Presentation
PREPARED BY: Wendy Berry, Administrative Services Director DISCUSSION:

Sales tax is an important source of General Fund revenue that supports City services and operations.

The City relies on specialized sales tax analysis to understand its revenue base, identify emerging trends, prepare forecasts for budgeting and long-range planning, and verify that sales tax revenues are properly reported and allocated to the City.

The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) officially collects and administers the sales tax while Neumo, our third-party revenue compliance and audit consultant ensures the City receives their correct share of local sales taxes by reviewing sales tax reporting and allocations for possible business reporting or State processing errors.

Tonight, Mary De La Rosa from Neumo will provide the City Council and the public with an overview of Neumo's role in supporting the City's sales tax administration. She will explain how Neumo analyzes sales tax information, identifies economic and industry trends, and develops revenue forecasts. She will also discuss why forecasting requires professional judgment and is often as much art as science when economic conditions, consumer behavior, business activity, and State allocations are changing.

The City receives two different types of sales tax: Bradley-Burns Local Sales and Use Tax and Measure U Transactions and Use Tax.

Bradley-Burns Local Sales and Use Tax is a 1.00% allocation of the City's portion of California Sales Tax.

Measure U Transactions and Use Tax is the voter-approved 1% local transactions and use tax.

19 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: 6.e
MEETING DATE: September 14, 2026
SUBJECT: 2026 Santa Ynez Valley Transit Asset Management Plan PREPARED BY: Bridget Paris, Public Works Director / City Engineer DISCUSSION:

The City of Solvang serves as the administering entity for Santa Ynez Valley Transit (SYVT). To remain eligible for federal public transportation funding, the City is required to maintain a Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plan consistent with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requirements (49 CFR Part 625). SYVT qualifies as a Tier II provider under 49 CFR 625.5 and is therefore subject to the FTA’s streamlined TAM Plan requirements applicable to smaller transit providers.

Transit agencies that own, operate, or manage capital assets used to provide public transportation are required to maintain a TAM Plan (49 CFR Part 625). Transit asset management provides a systematic approach to maintaining capital assets in a state of good repair through asset inventory and condition assessment, establishment of performance targets, identification of investment priorities, and development of processes to guide capital investment decisions.

The City’s transit consultant, Moore & Associates, Inc., prepared the SYVT 2026 TAM Plan in accordance with applicable FTA requirements for Tier II transit providers. The Plan inventories applicable SYVT capital assets, assesses their condition, establishes state-of-good-repair performance targets, and identifies investment priorities to support the City’s ongoing management and replacement of transit assets as required under 49 CFR Section 625.25.

The TAM Plan provides the City with a framework for monitoring the condition and performance of SYVT’s capital assets and prioritizing future investments based on asset condition, useful life, operational needs, and available funding. The TAM planning process also supports the City’s ongoing fleet replacement program by providing a systematic framework for evaluating vehicle age, mileage, condition, useful life, and future capital investment needs.

The SYVT 2026 TAM Plan will be self-certified in accordance with applicable requirements, with City Manager Randy Murphy serving as SYVT’s designated Accountable Executive. Following Council’s receipt of the Plan, it will be uploaded to Caltrans’ BlackCat platform prior to the October 1, 2026 filing deadline.

Applicable asset information is also reported through the City’s annual National Transit Database (NTD) reporting process.

Maintaining a current TAM Plan enables the City to meet federal transit asset management requirements while providing a practical tool for long-term capital planning and informed investment decisions intended to maintain SYVT’s assets in a state of good repair.

RECOMMENDED MOTION:
1 Receive and file the 2026 Transit Asset Management Plan for Santa Ynez Valley Transit (SYVT).

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could elect not to receive and file the 2026 TAM Plan. However, failure to maintain and timely update the required TAM Plan could affect the City’s compliance with federal requirements and its eligibility for future federal transit funding. TAM Plans are required to be updated at least once every four years.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None. Preparation of the 2026 TAM Plan is included within the City’s existing transit consulting services.

There is no additional fiscal impact associated with receiving and filing the Plan.

Section 1 | Introduction
Santa Ynez Valley Transit (SYVT) is a public transportation program operating in Buellton, Los Olivos, Santa Ynez, and Solvang, in Santa Barbara County, California. The Santa Ynez Valley lies between the Santa Ynez Mountains and San Rafael Mountains. SYVT operates under a Memorandum of Understanding between the cities of Buellton and Solvang; and the County of Santa Barbara. The City of Solvang is the administrating entity. SYVT operates two fixed-routes and a Dial-A-Ride service Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Dial-A-Ride is open to the public on Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

As a recipient of federal funding, the City of Solvang is required by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to prepare a Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plan for Santa Ynez Valley Transit to optimize the utilization of its capital assets. Capital assets as defined by the FTA include rolling stock (revenue vehicles), equipment (non-revenue vehicles), and facilities.

The purpose of this TAM Plan is to document the
condition of the various assets and prepare for
replacement based on each asset type’s useful life. The TAM Plan also provides a framework for effective
decision-making with respect to capital assets. It is part of an overall mindset of continuous improvement and
striving toward a high state of good repair for all capital assets.

As part of the planning process, the City is required to set annual targets for key performance measures for each of SYVT’s capital asset classes. Each is presented as a percentage indicating the current condition within that asset class toward its Useful Life Benchmark (ULB)1. Annual targets for SYVT are presented in Exhibit 1.1.

Section 2 | Asset Inventory
This section provides an inventory of the assets dedicated to Santa Ynez Valley Transit in the provision of transit service. Assets are divided into three categories:

1. Revenue Vehicles (further identified by vehicle type),

2. Equipment (further categorized as Non-Revenue/Service Automobile, Steel Wheel Vehicles, or Trucks and Other Rubber Tire Vehicles), and

3. Facilities (further categorized as Administration, Maintenance, Parking Structures, or Passenger Facilities).

Currently, the City of Solvang’s transit assets consist solely of revenue vehicles. Revenue Vehicles are identified as one of the following vehicle
types:

AB – Articulated Bus
AO – Automobile

Section 3 | Condition Assessment
In order to ensure capital assets remain in a state of good repair, their condition must be assessed on a regular basis. The default measure of condition is based on age (for rolling stock) and overall condition (facilities).

Vehicle Condition
The FTA has set a default Useful Life Benchmark (ULB) for each vehicle type. The ULB is the average agebased equivalent of a 2.5 rating on the FTA Transit Economic Requirements Model (TERM) scale.

The default ULB for the FTA is 10 years, however agencies may alter this number based on their specific needs. The City of Solvang plans for replacement of SYVT vehicles every five years or 150,000 miles based on experience in the operating environment. The useful life of these vehicles is reported as 5 years/150,000 miles in the City’s annual National Transit Database reporting.

At present, four vehicles (model years 2018 and 2019) are currently past their useful life based on age and mileage. Replacements for the 2018 vehicles have been ordered and are expected to be delivered in midSeptember 2026. While these are 2024 model year vehicles, they are new, and their future useful life should be based on either year of acquisition (2026) or mileage. Replacements for the 2019 vehicles are also expected to be ordered during 2026, though they will likely not be delivered until 2027. The two remaining vehicles (model year 2026) are well below the 150,000 mile threshold and are not expected to exceed their useful life for several more years.

The City requested and received an exemption from the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) Innovative Clean Transit mandate, which allows SYVT to purchase up to four gas-powered vehicles in 2026 while it continues to plan its transition to zero-emission vehicles. This waiver may be extended into 2027 if necessary. In the next few years, as the charging infrastructure is developed, the City expects to begin purchasing battery-electric cutaway buses. This will likely result in some gas-powered vehicles being kept in service longer than the five-year useful life, especially given the wait times for zero-emission vehicle orders and the significantly higher cost. However, given the FTA standard of 10 years for this type of vehicle, and the high standards for vehicle maintenance provided by the operations contractor, this is not expected to have a negative impact on the City’s ability to operate its transit program in a state of good repair.

Facility Condition
Facility condition is assessed using the TERM scale. The TERM scale rates the condition of an asset on a scale of one to five:
• 1 = Poor (asset is in need of immediate repair or replacement or may have critically damaged components)
• 2 = Marginal (asset is reaching or is just past the end of its useful life; there are an increasing number of defective or deteriorated components and increasing maintenance needs) • 3 = Adequate (asset has reached its mid-life; some moderately defective or deteriorated components)
8 City of Solvang – Transit Asset Management Plan 2026
C i t y o f S o l v a n g Page 5
• 4 = Good (asset shows minimal signs of wear; some slightly defective or deteriorated components) • 5 = Excellent (asset is new with no visible defects)
The City of Solvang does not currently own capital assets in the Equipment or Facility classes. However, over the next few years, the City anticipates installing electric vehicle charging infrastructure which will be used to fuel battery-electric transit vehicles. It also may begin using a City-owned facility to house its transit operations (the current contractor’s office is a leased facility). Any such facilities will be reflected in future TAM Plans.

City of Solvang – Transit Asset Management Plan 2026
Section 4 | Decision Support
The City of Solvang has typically relied on useful life standards provided by the FTA and mileage accrual on
its revenue vehicles, along with recommendations
received during maintenance from the service
specialists.

Future investment needs are determined by established
priority lists based on asset condition and useful life.

Proper investment planning is essential so as not to
affect the core operating services of transit.

Over the next few years, funds for battery-electric
vehicles will need to be secured, as these vehicles cost significantly more than the gas-powered vehicles the
City currently uses. Planning for the replacement of all of the gas-powered vehicles with battery-electric vehicles beginning in 2030 will require careful planning as well as the identification of additional funding. 11 C i t y o f S o l v a n g Page 8
City of Solvang – Transit Asset Management Plan 2026
Section 5 | Investment Priorities/Fleet Replacement Plan Santa Ynez Valley Transit’s future investment needs are determined by established priority lists based on asset condition and useful life.

Santa Ynez Valley Transit uses the Useful Life
Benchmarks to prepare its fleet replacement plan.

Fleet replacement is examined on an ongoing
basis, both based on condition reports from the
operations contractor as well as through regular
short-range planning efforts.

Exhibit 5.1 identifies investment priorities over the
next five years. Buses slated for purchase in 2026
have been ordered and are expected to be
delivered in mid-September 2026. Bus slated for
purchase in 2027 are expected to be ordered prior
to the end of 2026 but are expected to be
delivered sometime in 2027. Battery-electric
vehicles purchases are expected to begin in 2031. The timeline for delivery of those vehicles is unknown at this time, and the cost is expected to be approximately twice that of a conventional gas-powered cutaway-style bus (in 2026 dollars).

PREPARED BY: Wendy Berry, Administrative Services Director DISCUSSION:

On June 22, 2026, the City Council adopted the City’s biennial budget for Fiscal Years 2026–27 and 2027–28. Following adoption, staff finalized the online budget book and updated several of its narrative and informational sections, including the City Manager’s Budget Message, Elected Officials, Stories, City Council and Department Goals, statistical information, and Capital Improvement Program projects.

These updates improve the presentation and supporting narrative. No adopted budget amounts have changed.

The City Manager’s Budget Message provides an overview of the budget development process, the City’s financial position, key assumptions and priorities, major operating and capital initiatives, significant financial matters, and long-term outlook.

The City first implemented OpenGov’s online budget book with the Fiscal Years 2024–25 and 2025–26 biennial budget. Staff continues to refine the organization and design of the online content to make the City’s financial information more accessible and understandable. The online budget book consolidates departmental budgets, revenues and expenditures, fund summaries, staffing information, Capital Improvement Program projects, and other supporting materials into a single resource.

The online budget book is intended to help the City Council, residents, businesses, and other interested parties better understand how City resources are collected, allocated, and used to provide municipal services and advance the City Council’s goals.

A. City Manager’s Budget Message
1 CITY MANAGER'S BUDGET MESSAGE
Fiscal Years 2026/27 and 2027/28
To the Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council, and Residents of Solvang:

INTRODUCTION
It is my privilege to present the City of Solvang's Fiscal Years 2026/27 and 2027/28 Biennial Budget. The budget was developed through the combined efforts of City staff, the City Council's Ad Hoc Budget Committee, the Revenue Measure Oversight Committee (RMOC), the public review process, and adoption by the City Council on June 22, 2026. I am grateful to everyone who contributed their time, expertise, and thoughtful input into this important work.

This budget is more than a financial plan. It translates the City Council's priorities into services, projects, and investments intended to preserve Solvang's quality of life while positioning the City for a financially sustainable future.

The budget process began with a review of projected revenues, existing expenditures, and departmental funding requests. City staff met with each department head to evaluate operational needs, identify the programs and services that most directly supported the City Council’s priorities, and determine where expenditures could be reduced or deferred with the least effect on essential services. These discussions informed the recommendations presented to the City Council and helped align available resources with the City’s highest priorities while producing a balanced budget.

BUDGET AT A GLANCE
The adopted citywide operating budget includes approximately $31.4 million in revenues and $30.8 million in expenditures for FY 2026/27, resulting in a projected surplus of approximately $619,000. For FY 2027/28, revenues total approximately $31.3 million, compared with expenditures of approximately $27.8 million, resulting in a projected surplus of approximately $3.5 million. These figures do not include capital improvement projects.

Although the FY 2027/28 budget was adopted as part of the biennial plan, staff will continue monitoring revenue trends and may recommend mid-year adjustments as more current information becomes available. These citywide totals include operating activities, enterprise operations, and other restricted funds and therefore should be considered together with the individual fund discussions presented throughout the budget.

Citywide Operating
Budget FY 2026/27 FY 2027/28
Revenues $31.4 million $31.3 million
Expenditures $30.8 million $27.8 million
Projected surplus $619,000 $3.5 million
2 The larger projected surplus in FY 2027/28 primarily reflects the absence of a Suspended Table A water purchase, grant awards, and certain project and public-space expenditures.

These items will be reevaluated before July 1, 2027, and may be added through a future budget adjustment.

At the end of FY 2026/27, before accounting for planned capital improvement expenditures, the General Fund is projected to have a fund balance of approximately $17.1 million. For FY 2027/28, the General Fund is projected to have a fund balance of approximately $15.9 million, also before planned capital expenditures. Because capital projects will use a portion of these resources, the ending fund balances presented in the adopted budget schedules are lower and provide the more complete measure of the fund’s projected financial position.

For FY 2026/27, the City budgeted $7,000,000 in Tourism Occupancy Tax (TOT) and $2,127,000 in regular sales tax. Combined, the $9,127,000 estimate is approximately $1.28 million, or 12.3 percent, below the FY 2025/26 unaudited figures. Based on current economic data and revenue forecasts, the City anticipates that combined TOT and regular sales tax revenue will decline in FY 2026/27 compared with the FY 2025/26 unaudited results.

The budget is also supported by Measure U, the voter-approved 1 percent transaction and use tax. The City anticipates approximately $2.45 million in Measure U revenue in FY 2026/27. Consistent with the recommendation of the RMOC, a portion of this revenue offsets approximately 50 percent of the annual Sheriff's law-enforcement contract. This allocation helps address rising public-safety costs and preserves General Fund resources for other essential services. RMOC’s regular review of Measure U receipts and expenditures supports transparency and accountability.

Before accounting for planned capital improvement expenditures, the Water Fund is projected to end FY 2026/27 with a balance of approximately $3.7 million. Revenues are budgeted at approximately $6.7 million, and operating expenses are budgeted at approximately $6.5 million, excluding a Suspended Table A water purchase. Suspended Table A water represents an additional allocation of State Water Project water that was previously relinquished by Santa Barbara County and will be made available for purchase by the City. For FY 2027/28, Water Fund expenses are budgeted at approximately $6.5 million, and the revenue estimate currently assumes no rate adjustment during the fiscal year. The City will conduct a comprehensive water and wastewater rate study, with any approved rate adjustments anticipated to take effect July 1, 2027.

Before accounting for planned capital improvement expenditures, the Wastewater Fund is projected to end FY 2026/27 with a negative fund balance of approximately $1.9 million.

Revenues are budgeted at approximately $3.7 million, and expenses are budgeted at approximately $3.3 million. For FY 2027/28, expenses are budgeted at approximately $3.4 million. The negative fund balance is primarily attributable to significant capital costs associated with the Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade. These necessary improvements will address aging infrastructure, regulatory requirements, and the need to maintain reliable wastewater treatment. The negative balance reflects the timing of project expenditures in relation to the receipt of long-term financing and other funding sources and does not result from routine operating costs alone. The City anticipates reimbursing the 3 Wastewater Fund for all eligible design-phase expenditures when the applicable financing proceeds are received.

Water and wastewater rate revenues support ongoing system operations; however, planned capital improvements are expected to significantly reduce available fund balances. The City must align future rates, project timing, financing, and other funding sources to maintain reliable services and long-term financial stability.

The City’s 10-year Capital Improvement Plan provides a long-term roadmap for investments in streets, sidewalks, parks, public facilities, water, wastewater, stormwater, and other essential infrastructure. These investments will improve safety, reliability, accessibility, and service delivery while addressing aging infrastructure and regulatory requirements. However, the plan also represents a significant long-term financial commitment that will affect fund balances, utility rates, debt and financing needs, and future operating and maintenance costs. Because not all projects are currently funded, the City will prioritize and phase improvements based on urgency, available resources, community benefit, and long-term affordability while continuing to pursue grants and other outside funding options.

The City’s long-term forecast shows increasing pressure as the costs of public safety, personnel, contracts, utilities, infrastructure, and regulatory compliance grow faster than the recurring General Fund revenues. The City is responding by controlling ongoing costs, protecting reserves, strategically phasing capital projects, and pursuing grants and other funding sources.

REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE TRENDS FOR MAJOR FUNDS
The General Fund depends heavily on tourism-related TOT and sales tax. The City will continue supporting a strong visitor economy while pursuing opportunities to diversify recurring revenue and strengthen services and economic opportunities that benefit residents, local businesses, and the broader community.

General Fund revenues decreased from approximately $15.1 million in FY 2024/25 to an unaudited $13.6 million in FY 2025/26, a decrease of approximately $1.5 million, or 9.9 percent. During the same period, General Fund expenditures increased from approximately $9.1 million to $11.6 million, an increase of approximately $2.5 million, or

27.5 percent. Although revenues exceeded expenditures in both years, the narrowing margin illustrates the increasing pressure created by rising operating costs and the City’s reliance on economically sensitive revenue sources.

Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) and regular sales tax are the City's two largest General Fund revenue sources and together provide nearly 80 percent of General Fund revenue. In FY 2025/26, unaudited TOT revenues totaled $8,383,652, an increase of $1,067,136, or

14.6 percent, over FY 2024/25 and approximately 17.3 percent above budget. In November 2024, voters approved an increase in the TOT rate from 12 percent to 14 percent, providing additional revenue to support General Fund services. 4 Regular sales tax totaled $2,025,943, a decrease of $56,230, or 2.7 percent, from FY 2024/25, but approximately 3.3 percent above budget. Together, these sources generated approximately $10.4 million in FY 2025/26.

Water Fund revenues increased from approximately $6.3 million in FY 2024/25 to $6.69 million in FY 2025/26, an increase of approximately $290,000, or 4.5 percent. During the same period, expenses decreased from approximately $4.5 million to $4.3 million, a reduction of approximately $200,000, or 4.4 percent. Water user-fee revenues were sufficient to cover annual operating expenses in both years. However, the City must continue evaluating rates, capital needs, and long-term operating costs to ensure that revenues remain adequate to support reliable service and infrastructure investment.

Wastewater Fund revenues increased from approximately $3.3 million in FY 2024/25 to $4.0 million in FY 2025/26, an increase of approximately $700,000, or 21.2 percent. During the same period, expenses decreased from approximately $2.2 million to $2.0 million, a reduction of approximately $200,000, or 9.1 percent. Wastewater user-fee revenues were sufficient to cover annual operating expenses in both years and helped reduce the fund’s accumulated deficit. Nevertheless, significant capital requirements, including the wastewater treatment plant upgrade, will continue to place pressure on the fund’s longterm financial position.

COUNCIL PRIORITIES AND CHANGES FROM PRIOR BUDGET
In a public forum held on February 7, 2026, the City Council established goals for the FY 2026/27 and FY 2027/28 budget period within five focus areas: Housing and Affordability, Reliable Infrastructure, Community Character, Holistic Safety, and Financial Sustainability.

These goals guide resources toward expanding housing opportunities; improving transportation, water, and wastewater infrastructure; preserving Solvang’s distinctive character and cultural connections; strengthening emergency preparedness and public safety; and supporting long-term financial stability through grant funding and diversification of the local economy.

This approach differs from the goal-setting process used for the FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 budget period. During that prior process, the City Council developed a list of individual priorities rather than organizing its goals into broader focus areas. The ten highest priorities were parking, urban growth boundary, affordable housing, a regional wastewater treatment plant, updates to codes and ordinances, law enforcement, traffic, tourism, support for local organizations, and improvements to the City’s building and permitting process.

Compared with the prior budget period, the FY 2026/27 and FY 2027/28 Biennial Budget places greater emphasis on long-term financial sustainability, systematic capital planning, and infrastructure investment. This shift reflects the City’s long-range forecast, escalating law-enforcement and operating costs, significant water and wastewater needs, and expanding state and federal mandates. Protecting core services remains a priority, but the City must evaluate each new or expanded commitment in light of its ongoing cost and available recurring revenue.

PRINCIPAL ISSUES AND THE CITY'S RESPONSE
5 Rising recurring costs. Inflation and increases in public safety, salaries, benefits, utilities, contracts, and supplies continue to pressure the General Fund. The City will monitor revenues and expenditures throughout the FY 2026/27 and FY 2027/28 biennial budget period and limit new ongoing commitments unless they are supported by sustainable recurring revenue. The City is also evaluating alternatives to manage law-enforcement contract costs, which represent a significant and growing General Fund obligation.

Infrastructure and capital needs. The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) identifies substantial needs in streets, facilities, parks, water, wastewater, and other essential infrastructure. Projects will be prioritized and phased based on urgency, regulatory requirements, available funding, community benefit, and future operating costs. Unfunded projects will remain in the long-term plan and advance as resources become available.

The FY 2026/27 General Fund CIP includes approximately $5.2 million for parks and recreation, facilities, active transportation, traffic mitigation, and stormwater projects. Major projects include pickleball court modifications, facility reroofing, parking lot improvements, and sidewalk infill. The Water Fund includes approximately $3.0 million for construction of the HCA Middle Well and an Advanced Metering Infrastructure system. The Wastewater Fund includes approximately $1.6 million for sewer-line rehabilitation and final design of the wastewater treatment plant upgrade. The full treatment plant upgrade is currently estimated to cost up to $25 million. These CIP expenditures will reduce the fund balances described above as projects are completed. Because available resources are insufficient to fund every planned project at once, the City will continue evaluating, prioritizing, and phasing projects based on urgency, regulatory requirements, available funding, community benefit, and long-term affordability.

Regulatory and legislative requirements. Housing mandates, water-quality regulations, accessibility requirements, and other state and federal obligations place additional demands on limited staff and financial resources. The City will incorporate compliance into project planning, pursue grants and outside funding, and adjust schedules as requirements and resources change.

Revenue concentration and economic uncertainty. The General Fund relies heavily on tourism-related TOT and sales tax revenues. The City must balance the economic benefits of tourism with the needs and quality of life of local residents. To support this balance, the City will continue to use conservative revenue estimates, monitor economic and tourism trends, preserve reserves, and pursue opportunities to diversify the local economy and strengthen recurring revenue.

Service Levels, Fees, and Taxes. The budget is designed to maintain core City services without relying on a new General Fund tax or a broad reduction in service levels. Measure U, the City’s voter-approved one-percent transactions and use tax, continues to provide locally controlled funding for priority community needs, including law enforcement. The TOT rate increased from 12 percent to 14 percent in the prior budget cycle. TOT revenue continues to support core General Fund services and operations. There are no plans to place a tax initiative on the upcoming ballot. Any changes to City fees are presented in the applicable fee schedules and supporting sections of the budget and will be considered through the required public process. The City will also conduct a comprehensive utility-rate 6 study to determine whether existing water and wastewater rates are sufficient to support operations, capital improvements, debt obligations, and long-term system reliability. Any proposed rate adjustments would be considered through the legally required public-notice and hearing process, with new rates anticipated to take effect July 1, 2027.

The City will also review and update its development impact fees to ensure that new development contributes its proportionate share of growth-related costs, consistent with applicable legal requirements.

Proposed-to-Adopted Budget Changes
The adopted budget maintains the priorities and overall financial direction presented in the proposed budget. Adjustments made during the review process were incorporated into the final revenue, expenditure, capital-project, and fund-balance schedules. These adjustments did not materially change the City’s major revenue assumptions, planned service levels, or priorities for the biennial period.

Looking Ahead
The City's current financial strength provides time and flexibility to respond to future challenges, but continued stability is not automatic. The long-term forecast is a planning tool, not an unavoidable outcome. Careful monitoring, disciplined spending, reserve protection, strategic capital planning, and evaluation of appropriate revenue opportunities will be necessary to keep recurring services aligned with recurring resources.

This budget reflects the dedication of the City's finance team and departments, as well as the invaluable recommendations of the RMOC and the City Council's Ad Hoc Budget Committees. I look forward to working with the City Council, staff, and community to carry out these priorities, provide excellent service, and responsibly steward the public resources entrusted to us.

Yours in public service,
Randy Murphy

The Honorable Gavin Newsom
1021 O Street, Suite 9000
Sacramento, CA 95814
Dear Governor Newsom,
On behalf of the City of Solvang, we oppose the Governor's proposed wildfire liability reforms that would limit public agency recovery from utility-caused wildfires. This proposal shifts catastrophic costs to taxpayers and local governments while bailing out electric utilities. We urge the Legislature to reject these provisions.

The proposal would: (1) cap utility liability for damaged public infrastructure at depreciated value rather than full replacement costs; (2) eliminate emergency response and mutual aid costs as recoverable expenses; and (3) prevent recovery of lost property tax revenue. These provisions would fundamentally shift wildfire recovery costs from liable utilities to local taxpayers and wildfire victims.

Limiting recovery to depreciated value means Solvang cannot fully rebuild critical infrastructure, water systems, fire stations, schools, and roads that residents depend on.

A 20-year-old water line may have minimal depreciated value but costs tens of thousands to replace. Residents and taxpayers cannot bear these costs while dealing with personal property losses from wildfire.

When wildfires strike, Solvang and neighboring departments deploy immediately.

Emergency response operations require immediate funding. Preventing utilities from reimbursing these documented costs fractures the mutual aid relationships that protect California's communities and shifts the burden to already-stretched local budgets.

Docusign Envelope ID: BE3FB3F1-AF82-897A-814C-38709D2BD047 2 Schools and fire districts depend on property tax revenue. When wildfire destroys property, the tax base declines, reducing revenue for fire protection and schools.

Allowing utilities to escape reimbursement of lost tax revenue means victims and their communities suffer compounded losses.

Public agency claims from utility-caused wildfires between 2017 and 2024 represented only 4 percent of total claims paid by utilities. This shows public agency recovery is not excessive. Current law appropriately holds utilities accountable through strict liability and negligence standards.

We respectfully urge the Legislature to reject this proposal. If public agencies cannot recover costs from negligent utilities, local taxpayers and wildfire survivors will pay instead. Protect public infrastructure. Safeguard emergency response. Protect taxpayers from this utility bailout.

Sincerely,
David Brown

1021 O Street, Suite 8518
Sacramento, CA 95814-4900
Dear Senator Limón:

I am writing on behalf of the City of Solvang to ask for your support in extending the monthly wage structure that already applies to sheep herders, before the Legislature adjourns on August

31. Senate Bill 143 extended the sheep herder alternative minimum monthly wage to goat herders through July 1, 2026. That provision has expired, and goat herders no longer qualify for the monthly wage structure available to sheep herders performing comparable work. Under the hourly calculation that applies to on-call herding, goat herders are owed close to $20,000 a month, compared with roughly $4,938 a month for sheep herders under nearly identical conditions. The Department of Industrial Relations' March 2026 study concluded that sheep herders and goat herders should be paid the same wage, since the work is similar and the workforce overlaps.

The City of Solvang contracts with a grazing operation to manage vegetation on city and open space parcels, clearing dry brush and grass ahead of fire season. If this wage increase is passed through in our contract, the acreage we can service will shrink at the same time fuel reduction matters most. Solvang sits in a wildland urban interface and welcomes several million visitors a year, and a reduced grazing program affects public safety across the whole community, not only our own operations.

On August 11, Senator Melissa Hurtado and 32 of her colleagues asked the Legislature to close this gap by extending the sheep herder monthly wage structure to goat herders again. This isn't a rollback of herder pay or protections: the monthly structure still requires overtime and employer-paid housing, food, and transportation. The gap opened through a technical interpretation, not a deliberate wage decision. I ask that you join Senator Hurtado and help pass a permanent version of this fix, retroactive to July 1, 2026, before adjournment. A short-term extension only postpones the same decision for another year or two.

Thank you for your attention to a time-sensitive matter.

Sincerely,
David Brown

MEETING DATE: September 14, 2026
SUBJECT: Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance No. 26-0397 Regulating Use of Potable Water for Irrigation of Nonfunctional Turf
PREPARED BY: Chelsea O'Sullivan, City Attorney
DISCUSSION:

At its August 10, 2026 meeting, the City Council introduced for first reading Ordinance No. 26-0397, adding Section 9-3B-11 to Article B (Water Use Regulations) of Chapter 3 (Water Code) of Title 9 (Water and Sewer) of the Solvang Municipal Code regulating use of potable water for irrigation of nonfunctional turf.

The proposed ordinance would prohibit the use of potable water to irrigate nonfunctional turf on certain properties with limited exceptions. The prohibition would take effect in phases beginning January 1, 2027, based on property type, with later compliance dates for commercial, industrial, institutional, homeowners’ association, common-interest-development, and certain disadvantagedcommunity properties. Potable water irrigation would still be permitted on properties subject to the ordinance when necessary to maintain trees and other perennial plants or address an immediate health and safety need. Customers would be responsible for compliance, and violations would be subject to civil liability or fines established by City Council resolution within the limits authorized by state law.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 26-0397, adding Section 9-3B-11 to Chapter 3 (Water Code) of Title 9 (Water and Sewer) of the Solvang Municipal Code regulating use of potable water for irrigation of nonfunctional turf.

Recommended Motion:

I move to adopt for second reading Ordinance No. 26-0397, adding Section 9-3B-11 to Article B (Water Use Regulations) of Chapter 3 (Water Code) of Title 9 (Water and Sewer) of the Solvang Municipal Code regulating use of potable water for irrigation of nonfunctional turf.

AGENDA ITEM: 6.i
MEETING DATE: September 14, 2026
SUBJECT: Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance No. 26-0396 Adding Section 9 to Chapter 3 (Street and Sidewalk Obstruction) of Title 8 (Public Ways and Property) of the Solvang Municipal Code to Regulate Busking PREPARED BY: Chelsea O'Sullivan, City Attorney
DISCUSSION:

At its August 10, 2026 meeting, the City Council introduced for first reading Ordinance No. 26-0396, adding Section 9 to Chapter 3 (Street and Sidewalk Obstruction) of Title 8 (Public Ways and Property) of the Solvang Municipal Code to regulate busking.

Busking, also known as street performing, contributes to the vibrancy and character of the community but may also create public safety and access concerns. The proposed ordinance would add a new chapter regulating busking in publicly accessible areas while protecting First Amendment expressive activities. It defines busking as artistic or expressive performances by individuals or groups, including music, singing, dancing, acting, magic, juggling, and visual art. Busking would be prohibited within 10 feet of bus stops, street corners, marked crosswalks, business entrances, and outdoor dining areas, and within 50 feet of another busker, permitted special event, or City-sponsored event. The ordinance would also prohibit performances that obstruct pedestrian or vehicular traffic and authorize law enforcement or fire personnel to disperse crowds or require relocation when necessary to maintain safe passage. Busking would be permitted between 10:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., and violations would be punishable as misdemeanors.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 26-0396, adding Section 9 to Chapter 3 (Street and Sidewalk Obstruction) of Title 8 (Public Ways and Property) of the Solvang Municipal Code to regulate busking.

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

I move to adopt for second reading Ordinance No. 26-0396, adding Section 9 to Chapter 3 (Street and Sidewalk Obstruction) of Title 8 (Public Ways and Property) of the Solvang Municipal Code to regulate busking.

ALTERNATIVES:

Council could choose not to adopt the ordinance.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOLVANG, CALIFORNIA, ADDING SECTION 9 TO CHAPTER 3 (STREET AND SIDEWALK OBSTRUCTION) OF TITLE 8 (PUBLIC WAYS AND PROPERTY) OF THE SOLVANG MUNICIPAL CODE TO

REGULATE BUSKING
WHEREAS, the City of Solvang (“City”) recognizes that busking, also known as street performing, provides a public amenity that enhances enjoyment in, and character of, the City in a manner consistent with the overall public interest and also recognizes that buskers seek to and do draw crowds to their performances; and
WHEREAS, busking can create conflicts in the use and enjoyment of public areas by impacting the ability of pedestrians to move freely and safely on the sidewalks and through crosswalks, by blocking and impeding vehicular traffic on City streets, by impacting pedestrians' ability to enter and exit various businesses, and by impacting public safety personnel in responding to calls for service; and
WHEREAS, striking and maintaining a balance between protecting the public, surrounding businesses and property owners, and the exercise of First Amendment free speech activity can be difficult; and
WHEREAS, amending the Solvang Municipal Code to include place and manner restrictions on busking in public places within the City will help reduce the negative effects of busking on the public health, safety, and welfare, and will not unreasonably restrict the free speech rights of buskers.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Solvang does hereby ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. Section 9 of Chapter 3 (Street and Sidewalk Obstruction) of Title 8 (Public Ways and Property) is hereby added to read as follows:

8 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: 7.a
MEETING DATE: September 14, 2026
SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of Resolution 26-1334, Imposing the City’s Last, Best, Final Offer, (LBFO) Effective September 21, 2026 PREPARED BY: Dave Fleishman, Assistant City Attorney
DISCUSSION:

Over the past several months, the City has engaged in labor negotiations with Teamsters International Union, Local 986, which is the recognized labor organization representing most of the City’s employees.

The City and Union met on at least eight occasions beginning in April, with each party exchanging proposals for a new labor agreement. The current labor agreement with the Union expired on June 30, 2026.

Despite multiple proposals from each party, the parties were unable to reach agreement, and on June 24, 2026, the City presented the Union its last, best, final offer (LBFO). The City’s LBFO consisted of a three-year agreement, with cost-of-living increases of four percent (4%) each year of the agreement, and equity adjustments recommended for three positions in an independent compensation and class study prepared by Regional Government Services.

That study analyzed compensation and benefits paid by 11 other public agencies, including Buellton, Lompoc, Santa Maria and the County of Santa Barbara. The study found that, with the exception of the three positions, all the other positions represented by the Union were either above the market median for compensation and benefits, or competitive with the market. The three positions and the proposed equity adjustments were (1) Assistant Planner (7.5%), (2) Development/Building Technician I (5%), and (3) Code Enforcement Officer (12.5%). The City’s LBFO also included additional holiday days to allow City Hall to remain closed during the week between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, as well as multiple additional non-economic items.

On June 25, 2026, the Union sent the City a declaration of impasse, stating that the City’s LBFO had been rejected by the employees. Pursuant to the impasse resolution rules adopted by the City in 2006, the parties met on August 12 in an attempt to resolve the impasse. The parties were unable to do so, and the parties remain unable to agree on a successor labor agreement.

The Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA) is the law that governs labor-management relations for many public employees in California. MMBA sets forth procedures for labor negotiations, as well as requirements for impasse, factfinding and subsequent implementation of labor agreements.

Government Code section 3505.7 provides in relevant part:
“After any applicable mediation and factfinding procedures have been exhausted, but no earlier than 15 days after the factfinders’ written findings of fact and recommended terms of settlement have been submitted to the parties pursuant to Section 3505.5, a public agency that is not 1 required to proceed to interest arbitration may, after holding a public hearing regarding the impasse, implement its last, best, and final offer, but shall not implement a memorandum of understanding.”
While the union requested that the City engage in fact-finding, it did not make a timely request to do so.

The statutory deadline for requesting fact-finding has therefore passed. The City is also not required to proceed to interest arbitration.

The City and the Union have fully exhausted the impasse process as required by the City’s impasse resolution procedures, and the parties were still unable to reach agreement on a full-term labor agreement. Under these circumstances, the City Council may now choose either to maintain the status quo of wages, hours and terms and conditions of employment pending resolution of the impasse, or to unilaterally impose changes in such terms consistent with the City’s LBFO, provided that such action does not purport to impose an MOU, a multi-year agreement, or any other term(s) requiring mutual agreement.

Therefore, the City Council should conduct a public hearing on this matter to determine its course of action. Staff recommends imposition of the terms of the City’s LBFO as referenced above and as reflected in the attached Exhibit A. Staff recommends imposition effective September 21, 2026 to coincide with the beginning of the next payroll period.

The City remains committed to bargaining in good faith on outstanding issues as required by MMBA.

The unilateral implementation of the City’s last, best, and final offer does not deprive the Union of the right each year, prior to the City’s adoption of its annual budget, to meet and confer on matters within the scope of representation, whether or not those matters are included in the LBFO.

RECOMMENDED MOTION:
“I move to adopt Resolution No. 26-1334 imposing the terms of the City’s last, best, final offer as reflected in the Exhibit A attached to the Resolution, effective September 21, 2026, until such time as the City and Union agree on a subsequent labor agreement.” ALTERNATIVES:

The Council is not required to impose its LBFO. Such an action is permissive. If the Council opts to not impose the LBFO, the provisions of the expired labor agreement would continue in effect, in accordance with applicable law.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact to impose the last, best, final offer is approximately $86,000 through the end of fiscal year 2027. This amount has been included in the adopted FY26/27 budget.

WHEREAS, the City and the Union were unable to achieve agreement on the successor labor agreement, and on June 24, 2026, the City presented the Union its last, best, final offer that included, among other economic and non-economic provisions, a three year agreement with a four percent (4%) cost-of-living increase in each of the three years, plus equity adjustments for three positions identified as “below market” in an independent compensation and classification study performed by Regional Government Services; and WHEREAS, the Union rejected the last, best, final offer and declared that the parties were at impasse on June 25, 2026; and
WHEREAS, the parties engaged in impasse resolution procedures required by City Council Resolution 06-745, adopted in 2006, but they were unable to resolve the impasse; WHEREAS, the Union requested that the parties engage in fact-finding, but the request was untimely under Government Code Section 3505.4; and WHEREAS, the City is not required to engage in interest arbitration; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that implementing the City’s last, best, final offer presented to the Union on June 24, 2026 is in the best interest of the public, supports the City’s operational needs, and promotes fiscal responsibility and continuity of services; and WHEREAS, the City Council has considered all information related to this matter, as presented at the public hearing conducted on this date.

SECTION 1. The facts set forth in the recitals, above, are true and correct and incorporated herein as part of the findings of this Resolution.

SECTION 4. Except as modified by the last, best, final offer, the current fringe benefits and other terms and conditions of employment set forth in the Memorandum of Understanding between Teamsters Union Local 986 and the City that expired on June 30, 2026, shall remain unchanged for employees in the General Employees representation unit.

SECTION 5. To the extent any prior resolutions of the City Council conflict with this resolution, this resolution shall prevail.

SECTION 6. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this resolution and shall cause a certified copy to be filed in the book of original resolutions.

12 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: 8.a
MEETING DATE: September 14, 2026
SUBJECT: Approve Agreement with Harris & Associates, Inc. for a Development Impact Fee Nexus Study and Fee Update, Authorize the Mayor to execute such Agreement, and approve the corresponding budget adjustment PREPARED BY: Wendy Berry, Administrative Services Director DISCUSSION:

City staff previously issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a combined Capital Improvement Program evaluation and Development Impact Fee Nexus Study. The City did not receive proposals that adequately met its needs for the combined assignment. Staff therefore elected not to proceed with an award and reissued a more focused RFP limited to the Development Impact Fee Nexus Study and Fee Update. The Capital Improvement Program evaluation would be addressed in a separate RFP.

The City received two new proposals in response to the reissued RFP. Proposals were evaluated using the criteria established in the RFP, including relevant firm experience, qualifications of assigned personnel, approach and methodology, familiarity with California development impact fee law, schedule and availability, cost and overall value, references, and interview performance.

Based on the evaluation, staff determined that Harris & Associates, Inc. is the best-qualified firm and provides the strongest overall value to the City. Harris & Associates demonstrated substantial recent experience preparing and implementing comprehensive development impact fee programs for California municipalities, a detailed methodology tailored to Solvang, and an approach designed to support adoption of updated fees by the City’s target date. Harris and Associate’s proposal also includes an editable fee model and user guidance to assist staff with future administration and inflationary adjustments.

Harris and Associates also proposed an all-inclusive, not-to-exceed fee of $121,965. The proposed work includes the comprehensive Development Impact Fee Nexus Study and a separate Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee Study if determined to be legally supportable and appropriate through the initial feasibility and legal-authority evaluation. Water and wastewater capacity and connection fees are excluded because they will be evaluated in the upcoming utility rate study.

The objective is to establish a current, comprehensive, transparent, and legally defensible fee schedule so that new development contributes its proportionate share of growth-related public facility and infrastructure costs.

The City reissued the RFP to obtain proposals for a more focused yet comprehensive Development Impact Fee Nexus Study that included, within the proposed scope and cost, an evaluation of potential impact fee categories the City does not currently impose, rather than pricing each additional fee evaluation separately. In addition to reviewing and updating the City’s existing development impact fees, Harris & Associates will evaluate potential fee categories the City does not currently charge, determine 1 whether each fee is legally supportable and appropriate for Solvang, and prepare the supporting nexus analysis, calculations, findings, and implementation materials needed for City Council consideration. This work is substantially broader than a routine update of the City’s current fee schedule.

RECOMMENDED MOTION:
“I move the City Council approve a Professional Services Agreement with Harris & Associates, Inc., in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, for the preparation of a comprehensive Development Impact Fee Nexus Study and Fee Update in an amount not to exceed $121,965; authorize the Mayor to execute such Agreement; and approve a budget adjustment of $72,000 to the professional services appropriation.”
ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may:
 Decline to award the agreement and direct staff to negotiate with another proposer  Reject all proposals and provide direction regarding a revised procurement FISCAL IMPACT:

The adopted budget includes $50,000 for this project. A budget adjustment of $72,000 is required to provide sufficient expenditure authority for the $121,965 contract. Following the adjustment, total available project funding will be $122,000, leaving $35 above the not-to-exceed contract amount.

The increase in project cost above the original budget reflects the comprehensive scope of the study. In addition to reviewing and updating the City’s existing development impact fees, Harris & Associates will evaluate potential fee categories the City does not currently charge, determine whether each fee is legally supportable and appropriate for Solvang, and prepare the supporting nexus analysis, calculations, findings, and implementation materials needed for City Council consideration. This work is substantially broader than a routine update of the City’s current fee schedule.

To the fullest extent permitted by law (including, but not limited to California Civil Code Sections 2782 and 2782.8), Consultant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City, and its elected officials, officers, employees, volunteers, and agents (“City Indemnitees”), from and against any and all causes of action, claims, liabilities, obligations, judgments, or damages, including reasonable legal counsels’ fees and costs of litigation (“claims”), arising out of the Consultant’s performance or Consultant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement or out of the operations conducted by Consultant, except for such loss or damage arising from the active negligence, sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City. In the event the City Indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or other adversarial proceeding arising from Consultant’s performance of this Agreement, the Consultant shall provide a defense to the City Indemnitees or at the City’s option, reimburse the City Indemnitees their costs of defense, including reasonable legal fees, incurred in defense of such claims.

However, notwithstanding the previous sentence, in the event one or more defendants is unable to pay its share of defense costs due to bankruptcy or dissolution of the business, Consultant shall meet and confer with other parties regarding unpaid defense costs. (d) Payment by City is not a condition precedent to enforcement of the indemnities in paragraph (a), (b), or (c).

Development Impact Fee Nexus Study and Fee Update
Dear Ms. Berry and Members of the Evaluation Committee:

The City of Solvang’ s ( City) Development Impact Fee Nexus Study and Fee Update is an opportunity to establish a clear, legally defensible framework for funding the infrastructure and facilities needed to serve future development. The City needs more than an escalation of its existing fees. It needs a comprehensive evaluation of existing and potential fee categories that reflects current development patterns, facility needs, capital costs, and applicable California law, while distinguishing existing deficiencies from the proportionate costs attributable to new development. The resulting program must also be practical for City staff to administer and transparent to the development community and public. Harris & Associates’ ( Harris) approach directly addresses the City’s requirement toevaluate existing and potential fees, establish proportionality, address administration and implementation, and prepare the documentation needed for adoption.

Understanding ofthescopeof work. Harris understands that this assignment requires evaluating current and potential fee categories, identifying the infrastructure and facility needs attributable to new development, establishing the required nexus and proportionality under California law, and developing defensible fee calculations supported by current data and capital costs. The work must also result in a practical program the City can implement and administer, including stakeholder engagement, clear documentation, editable calculation models, implementation guidance, and support through City Council consideration and adoption.

A California impact fee team with recent, directly relevant experience. Harris’ Municipal District Finance (MDF) team brings more than 25 years of experience preparing, updating, implementing, and administering development impact fee (DIF) programs throughout California. Our recent work includes comprehensive fee updates for the cities of Moorpark, Santee, Manhattan Beach, Costa Mesa, Encinitas, and other California municipalities. These assignments have involved many of the same elements Solvang requires, including evaluation of existing and new fee categories, review of capital improvement needs, development of nexus and proportionality findings, fee modeling, stakeholder engagement, and City Council adoption.

Anapproachtailoredto Solvangrather thanaone-size-fits-all feestudy. Solvang’s combination of approximately 6,000 residents and substantial visitor activity requires careful consideration of how different types of development create demand for City facilities and services. Our team will evaluate appropriate demand measures for each fee category, which may include service population, dwelling units, building area, hotel rooms, trip generation, acreage, or other evidence- based metrics. We will begin with a Fee Feasibility and Legal Authority Matrix to evaluate each existing and potential fee, then develop those categories that are legally and technically supportable using the methodology best suited tothe available City data, planning documents, facility information, and capital needs.

A program builtfor adoptionandlong-term administration. Harris will carry the analysis through implementation, providing the City with clear nexus documentation, editable calculation models, implementation guidance, ordinance and resolution support, stakeholder engagement, and City Council presentations. Our proposed schedule supports final City Council action by April 1, 2027, consistent with the City’s desired adoption timeline. Just as important, we will leave City staff with an understandable, editable fee model and user guide so the program can be administered and updated after adoption.

City of Moorpark
Date of Completion: 2023
Description: Harris was retained toevaluate the City’s existing Development Impact Fee Program, assess future infrastructure needs, and update the City’s Development Impact Fees inconjunction withthe General Plan Update. Harris verified that the fee program was consistent withthe General Plan’s growth projections and prepared a comprehensive Nexus Study. The study established legally defensible development impact fees for Library Facilities, Parks and Recreation Facilities, City Hall Improvements, Police Facilities, and Transportation Facilities.

Harris facilitated three City Council study sessions topresent the draft Nexus Study, fee methodology, and recommended fee updates, incorporating Council feedback throughout the process. The Nexus Study and updated Development Impact Fees were adopted by the City Council inJune 2023, providing a sustainable funding mechanism for future public infrastructure needed to serve growth. Following adoption, the City retained Harris to prepare an Affordable Housing In- Lieu Fee Study and evaluate the Transportation Impact Fee for the Newhall Ranch Specific Plan, demonstrating the City’s confidence in Harris’ technical expertise and continued support. This collaborative process emphasized transparency, technical rigor, and consistency with the City’s long-term planning objectives.

Harris continues to support the City of Moorpark with the implementation and ongoing administration ofits development impact fee program. This work includes advising City staff on fee calculation and administration questions, supporting related affordable housing policy considerations, assisting with annual impact fee reporting questions and fee policy inquiries, and updating the transportation component ofthe fee program to reflect current infrastructure needs, costs, and planning assumptions.

Development Impact Fee Study forthe Drainage Master Plan Update City of Costa Mesa/Q3 Consulting
Dateof Completion: 2026
Description: Harris was retained toevaluate and update the City of Costa Mesa’s Master Drainage Development Impact Fees following adoption ofthe updated Storm Drainage Master Plan. Harris reviewed the City’s existing fee program, which had not been updated since 2008, and coordinated with the Storm Drainage Master Plan consultant to verify the plan included the information necessary tosupport a legally defensible and proportional impact fee program. Harris prepared a nexus study that consolidated the City’s various sub-basin fees intotwo watershed-based fees, organized according to the ultimate outfall of stormwater.

Harris also implemented a public outreach strategy to present the nexus study, fee methodology, and fee recommendations. Outreach included multiple meetings with the development community and the Building Industry Association (BIA), one-onone briefings with City Council members, and a public hearing. The nexus study and updated Master Drainage Development Impact Fees were adopted unanimously by the City Council in February 2026.

Comprehensive Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Update City of Santee
Date of Completion: 2025
Description: Harris partnered with the City of Santee to deliver the first comprehensive update to the City’s Development Impact Fee program in more than 20 years. The project modernized Santee’ s approach to funding critical infrastructure by revising existing fee categories—including drainage, traffic, traffic signals, parks, and public facilities—and introducing new fees for fire protection facilities, long-range planning, and program administration.

The Harris team worked closely with City staff to review local planning documents and capital improvement plans, identifying infrastructure projects that serve both current and future development. A data-driven Nexus Study was developed tocalculate updated fee levels, making sure the program was transparent, legally defensible, and compliant withstate laws such as AB1600 and AB602.

Public engagement was a key component of the process. Harris facilitated two City Council study sessions and met with the BIA to gather input and build consensus.

The updated fee program was adopted by the City Council in January 2025, providing a scalable and adaptable framework aligned with Santee’s development goals. The update reflects recent legislative changes, increased construction costs, and updated land use assumptions, supporting the City’s commitment tosustainable growth and community resilience.

The project was developed incompliance withthe Mitigation Fee Act (AB1600), AB602, and applicable case law, incorporating the required nexus findings, capital improvement planning documentation, and proportionality analyses.

Harris conducted detailed data collection and coordination with City departments to identify growth-related capital projects and confirm alignment with the General Plan, Housing Element, Capital Improvement Program, and other adopted planning documents. The team prepared updated land use projections, developed defensible cost allocation methodologies, and created a dynamic fee model to calculate fees by land use category. The final Comprehensive Nexus Study documented the legal and technical basis for each recommended fee, compared proposed fees to surrounding jurisdictions, and provided implementation guidance including administrative procedures, credit and reimbursement policies, annual update mechanisms, and statutory reporting requirements. Harris prepared the final report, supported stakeholder engagement efforts, and presented findings and recommendations to the City Council for adoption. The updated fees were unanimously approved by City Council in February 2026.

Recent Development Impact Fee Nexus Study
Experience for California Municipalities

CALIFORNIA AGENCY EXPERIENCE
Harris’ MDF team brings more than 25 years of experience preparing, updating, implementing, and administering development impact fee programs for jurisdictions throughout California. Harris has completed numerous nexus studies and fee updates that comply with AB1600 and AB602 for transportation, parks, public facilities, public safety, water, wastewater, storm drainage, affordable housing, commercial linkage fee, and other public infrastructure, along with annual and five-year reporting, fee administration procedures, cost allocation methodologies, reimbursement and credit policies, and implementation strategies. Harris has developed dozens of Nexus Studies that have been successfully reviewed and adopted following input from agency staff, BIA representatives, elected officials, and community stakeholders.

By combining technical expertise withcollaborative stakeholder engagement, Harris develops equitable, transparent, and administratively efficient funding strategies that support each agency’s long-term infrastructure and growth objectives while complying with current California law and industry best practices.

NEXUS STUDY IMPACT FEE PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Harris has over 25 years of experience developing, updating, and implementing Development Impact Fee programs inaccordance withthe AB1600 and the Quimby Act (Government Code Section 66477), and is currently working with multiple agencies throughout California. Our Municipal & District Finance Team also completed a guidebook for the State of Washington in2025 on proportional impact fees and system development charges.

Our proposed project team members are experts in AB1600 Development Impact Fees, In-Lieu Fees, and Quimby Fees, and stay current on recent legislation, including AB602.

Because our staff includes licensed Civil Engineers, Harris can review Master Plans and other technical documents toidentify eligible projects, develop projected facility costs, determine the proportionate allocation attributable tonew development, and develop strategies to verify that new development pays its fair share. This experience and expertise help verify that the fees satisfy the legal nexus requirements and generate the revenue needed toconstruct the facilities required toserve City residents.

Because our team works withagencies to develop all types of Facilities Financing Plans, we can identify strategies for funding existing deficiencies that cannot be financed through impact fee revenues, while also assisting the City in developing longterm maintenance funding strategies. We are also experienced inassisting agencies with Development Agreements, Credit and Reimbursement Agreements, and other development-related agreements.

Some of our recent experience is listed on the following page.

Our Development Impact Fee work consistently gains approval because we clearly communicate assumptions, explain methodologies, andpresent findings inatransparent, technically sound, andlegally defensible manner.

Our experience extends beyond study preparationtothelong-term implementation andadministration offeeprograms, givingus practical insightintofeecollection, credit andreimbursement policies, statutory compliance, annual reporting, andprogram updates.

Harris & Associates was

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Statement of Understanding
Harris understands that the City of Solvang seeks a
comprehensive evaluation, update, and replacement of
its existing development impact fee program so that new development contributes its proportionate share of growthrelated capital needs. This assignment is broader than a routine escalation of existing fee schedules. The updated fee program must reflect current development patterns, facility needs, and capital costs; distinguish existing deficiencies from growthrelated needs; document the proportional share attributable to each development category; and comply withthe Mitigation Fee Act (AB1600), AB602, the Quimby Act where applicable, and relevant case law. The resulting program must also be transparent, economically feasible, and straightforward for City staff to administer. Harris will evaluate all existing and potential fee categories identified by the City; classify each potential category as recommended, not recommended, or legally or technically unsupported; and calculate and document each fee determined to be legally supportable and appropriate for the City. Water and wastewater capacity and connection fees are excluded inaccordance with Addendum No. 2.

The adoption of the Solvang 2045 General Plan in July 2024 and the 10-year Capital Improvement Plan inJune 2026 presents a timely opportunity tocomplete this comprehensive update.

These documents provide the City’ s current framework for land use, mobility, public facilities, conservation, safety, housing, and capital investment and will support a planning horizon notto exceed 10 years. Harris will supplement this document review through focused meetings with City staff to identify and validate existing facilities, available capacity, existing deficiencies, planned projects, project costs, timing, and funding sources.

Solvang’s visitor-serving economy requires demand measures that extend beyond resident population. Depending on the fee category and supporting evidence, the analysis may
use service population, dwelling units, building area, hotel rooms, trip generation, equivalent dwelling units, acreage, or other evidence-based metrics tocalculate the maximum legally supportable fee. The selected metric for each fee will be documented and tied tothe type and amount of capital demand attributable to each development category.

The evaluation will address administrative and implementation requirements across the City’s development impact fee program, including annual indexing, payment timing, notice and protest procedures, credits and reimbursements, exemptions, separate accounting, annual and five-year reporting, and future updates.

Statements of Approach
and Methodology

DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE NEXUS STUDY
The Comprehensive Development Impact Fee Nexus Study will be prepared incompliance withthe Mitigation Fee Act, AB602, applicable provisions of Government Code sections 66000 through 66025 and 66324, and relevant case law. Harris will evaluate general government and civic facilities, transportation and circulation facilities, parking facilities, parks and recreation facilities, public safety facilities, storm drainage facilities, solidwaste and recycling facilities, and other categories identified in Addendum No. 2. Each category will be addressed in the Fee Feasibility and Legal Authority Matrix and classified as recommended, not recommended, or legally or technically unsupported, withthe basis documented. All recommended
and supportable traditional development impact fee categories will be developed within the comprehensive study. Water and wastewater capacity and connection fees are excluded.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN-LIEU FEE STUDY
Affordable housing in-lieu fee feasibility will first be evaluated through the Fee Feasibility and Legal Authority Matrix. This initial evaluation will consider the City’s existing housing policies, applicable legal authority, anticipated development conditions, administrative capacity, and whether an
affordable housing fee or in-lieu compliance option would be appropriate and implementable for Solvang. The evaluation will clarify whether the City is considering an inclusionary housing requirement with an in-lieu compliance alternative, an affordable housing impact, or another legally authorized housing program. Harris will then apply the legal and analytical methodology appropriate tothe selected program structure in coordination with City staff and legal counsel. If the program is determined to be legally supportable and suitable for the City, Harris will prepare an Affordable Housing In- Lieu Fee Study 25 Harris & Associates, Inc. Scope of Services 15
as a separate, standalone report and distinct work task within the proposal’s comprehensive, all-inclusive not-to-exceed fee.

The Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee Study will be shown asa separate lineitem inthe cost proposal while remaining within the proposal’s comprehensive not-to-exceed amount.

A separate study is appropriate because an affordable housing in-lieu fee differs substantively from a traditional development impact fee. Development impact fees generally address the cost of public infrastructure and facilities needed to serve new development and the nexus findings. In contrast, an affordable housing in-lieu fee is based on the relationship between new market-rate residential development, the resulting need for affordable housing, and the subsidy required to produce affordable units. The study will therefore require a distinct methodology, data sources, policy considerations, legal findings, and fee calculations. It may also require evaluation of factors such as inclusionary housing requirements, eligible alternatives to on-site production, affordability levels, development feasibility, and the appropriate relationship between the fee and the City’s housing objectives.

The Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee Study will proceed
concurrently withthe Development Impact Fee Study through the public review and adoption process. Harris anticipates conducting a separate stakeholder outreach meeting focused specifically on affordable housing policy and development feasibility. Participants may include affordable housing providers, residential developers, housing advocates, property owners, and other interested parties whose perspectives differ from those involved inthe Development Impact Fee Study. Following the separate stakeholder outreach processes, both studies will be presented together at a City Council study session and will proceed through the adoption process concurrently. Maintaining separate reports will allow the City Council and the public to clearly understand the distinct legal basis, methodology, policy choices, and findings supporting each fee program.

PROJECT METHODOLOGY
Development impact fees require clear findings demonstrating a reasonable relationship between the fee amount, the type of development on which the fee is imposed, and the cost of facilities attributable tonew development. Harris will select and document the methodology for each fee category based on facility type, available City planning documents, capital improvement information, service standards, growth projections, and the evidence needed for a legally defensible program. Consistent with the Impact Fee Nexus Study Template prepared by the Terner Center for Housing Innovation for the California Department of Housing and Community Development, Harris will consider the Existing Inventory, Planned Facility, and System Plan methods.

The selected method may vary by category depending on whether the City is relying on existing facility standards, defined capital projects, long-range plans, or an integrated system of existing and planned facilities.

Existing Inventory Method
The Existing Inventory Method, also known as the “ incremental method,” uses a facility standard based on the ratio of existing facilities tothe demand on the facilities by the existing service population on a cost per unit or cost per square foot basis.

Under this approach, new development funds the expansion offacilities at the same standard currently serving existing development. The Existing Inventory Method assures that no facility deficiencies are spread to future development. This method is appropriate and often used when a long-range plan for new facilities is not available and when planned facilities are similar incost and nature to existing facilities.

Planned Facilities Method
The Planned Facilities method calculates the proposed fee based on the ratio of planned facilities to the increase indemand associated with new development. This method is appropriate when planned facilities have been defined by a long-range master plan or expenditure plan which includes specific facilities and cost estimates. As the Planned Facilities Method relies on a long-range master plan that may change as the plan is implemented, fees based on this methodology need tobe regularly updated to remain consistent with the project lists and current plans.

System Plan Method
The System Plan Method allocates the value or cost of an integrated system of existing and planned facilities across demand from existing and future development. Harris
anticipates using this as the primary approach where
the City’s current documents and staff-validated project information support it, including for the transportation and circulation fee. Harris will rely onthe General Plan, adopted Capital Improvement Plan, existing transportation and circulation studies, available traffic or trip data, existing facility information, and a City-confirmed list of planned improvements, costs, timing, and funding sources. Through meetings with City staff, Harris will identify and validate the projects that comprise the system, determine which
improvements address existing deficiencies or broader
community needs, and allocate only the eligible growth-related share tonew development. This approach avoids assigning existing deficiencies to future development and creates a transparent record connecting project need, benefit, and proportionality. Preparation of a new travel-demand model, traffic operations analysis, engineering design, or transportation master plan is outside the scope. If available information is insufficient to support a category, Harris will document the gap and identify the category as technically unsupported at this time rather than rely onan unsupported assumption.

Nexus Requirements
The Mitigation Fee Act ( Government Code section 66000
et seq.), originally enacted through AB1600, requires public agencies to make the following findings when establishing, increasing, or imposing a development impact fee:

1. Identify the purpose ofthe fee.

2. Identify the use to which the fee is tobe put. Ifthe use is financing public facilities, the facilities shall be identified.

3. Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the fee’s use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.

4. Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.

5. Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost ofthe public facility or portion of the public facility attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed.

The studies will document compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act, AB602, and the Quimby Act where applicable. The nexus study will summarize the assumptions, methodologies, facility standards, costs, funding sources, and allocation factors used to establish the relationship between each fee and the development on which it will be imposed.

AB602 and Residential Fee Requirements
For fees imposed onhousing development, Harris will provide the information required by Government Code section 66016.5, identify existing and proposed levels of service, evaluate the relationship between facility demand and residential building area, and calculate residential fees ona per-square-foot basis unless the City makes the findings necessary to support a different metric.

Quimby Act
The Quimby Act ( Government Code section 66477) authorizes a city or county, by ordinance, to require parkland dedication, an in-lieufee, or a combination of both as a condition of approval of a residential tentative map or parcel map. The requirement generally may not exceed three acres per 1,000 subdivision residents unless the City’s qualifying existing neighborhood and community park acreage supports a higher standard, not to exceed five acres per 1, 000 residents. The dedication or fee must bear a reasonable relationship to use ofthe park and recreational facilities by future subdivision residents. Quimby Act requirements do not apply to residential development that does not require a tentative map or parcel map. Harris will keep any Quimby Act dedication and in-lieufee analysis distinct from a Mitigation Fee Act park impact fee to avoid overlapping charges and will address applicable credits for eligible land and improvements.

Administration and Transparency
The Nexus Study will address annual adjustments; the separate account and annual reporting requirements of Government Code § 66006; the five-year findings required for unexpended fee revenues under Government Code § 66001(d); the online posting requirements of AB1483; collection timing, including the residential deferral requirements of SB937; credits and reimbursements; accessory dwelling units; redevelopment and changes of use; exemptions; and the interval and triggers for future fee updates.

Scope of Work
TASK 1 – PROJECT KICKOFF, SCOPE REFINEMENT,

EXISTING CONDITIONS REVIEW, AND ONGOING

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
The Harris team will initiate the project with a comprehensive kickoff and scoping process to align the assignment with City priorities, available resources, legal requirements, and desired outcomes. This task will confirm the project approach, objectives, deliverables, schedule, communication protocols, data needs, key policy considerations, and the structure of the nexus study. Harris recommends involving City legal counsel from the outset given the evolving legal environment for development impact fees and nexus requirements, including AB602, Sheetz v. County of El Dorado, BIA v. City of Patterson, and other applicable legal developments.

Task 1.1: Kickoff Meeting and Project Initiation
The Harris team will schedule and facilitate one ( 1) virtual kickoff meeting with representatives from Administrative Services, Community Development, Public Works and Utilities, Parks and Community Services, the City Attorney’s Office, and other departments identified by the City.

The kickoff meeting will be utilized to:

Clarify and confirm project goals, priorities, scope, timelines, milestones, and deliverables.

Review the proposed analytical approach and structure of the fee study components.

Establish communication, coordination, document- control, and decision-making protocols.

Confirm available information, anticipated data needs, and City staff review periods.

Identify key legal, technical, administrative, and policy considerations that may influence the analysis.

Confirm the respective responsibilities of Harris, City staff, and City legal counsel, including City responsibilities for providing and validating existing and planned project information.

The discussion of responsibilities will specifically address the preparation and City validation of capital improvement information supporting the Nexus Study, including existing facilities, planned projects, project descriptions, approximate locations, size or capacity, cost basis, timing, existing deficiencies, and available funding sources. We will also discuss the resolution adopting the fees and any ordinance or administrative policies establishing procedures for imposing, calculating, collecting, accounting for, and spending fee revenues. Following the kickoff meeting, Harris will prepare meeting minutes, an updated work plan and schedule, action items, next steps, and a refined data request.

Task 1.2: Review Applicable City Documents and
Existing Fee Programs
Harris will review applicable City documents to determine the basis for each existing or proposed impact fee category, evaluate existing fee program assumptions and implementation practices, and identify available information for the nexus analyses. The document review may include, but is notlimited to:

The Annual and Five- Year Development Impact Fee Report ending June 30, 2025, existing nexus studies, fee schedules, fee models, Ordinance No. 19-0338, resolutions, and
administrative procedures.

The 2045 General Plan, 6th Cycle Housing Element, adopted 10-year capital improvement program, specific plans, master plans, traffic studies, strategic plans, and other relevant policy documents.

Fund balances, historical collections and expenditures, credits, reimbursements, development agreements, prior
obligations, and fee administration records.

Municipal Code provisions, adopting ordinances, resolutions, and implementation documents.

Census data, median income data, population and
employment data, parcel data, recent development trends, and recently constructed projects.

Recent land acquisition cost documentation, existing
facility inventories, schedules of values, and other cost documentation.

Harris will identify material data gaps, outdated assumptions, implementation concerns, and issues requiring further direction from City staff. Harris will also prepare an Existing Fee Program Assessment documenting each existing fee, its legal authority, current rate and calculation basis, applicable land uses, fund balance, historical collections and expenditures, outstanding commitments, credits and reimbursements,
existing administrative practices, and continued applicability.

Consistent with Government Code section 66016.5, Harris will review the assumptions supporting each existing fee and evaluate the amounts collected under the existing program.

Task 1.3: Staff Interviews and Information Gathering
Harris will conduct up toseven (7) virtual department interviews tounderstand the purpose and performance of the City’s
existing fee programs, current and future facility needs, available infrastructure capacity, existing deficiencies, implementation issues, available data, and departmental policy priorities.

The interviews will address general government and civic facilities, transportation and circulation facilities, parking facilities, parks and recreation facilities, public safety facilities, storm drainage, solid-waste and recycling facilities, and affordable- housing impacts. Harris will use the interviews to:

Confirm department- specific objectives and data availability for each fee category tobe evaluated. 28
Harris & Associates, Inc. Scope of Services 18
Review the adopted 10-year Capital Improvement Plan
facilities for potential fee program eligibility.

Distinguish existing deficiencies from growth-related needs.

Identify facility standards and current levels of service.

Task 1.4: Fee Feasibility and Legal Authority Matrix
Based on the kickoff meeting, document review, and initial information gathering, Harris will prepare a Fee Feasibility and Legal Authority Matrix for all existing and potential categories identified by the City and Addendum No. 1. The matrix will classify each potential fee as recommended, not recommended, or legally or technically unsupported and will identify:

The evaluated fee category.

The purpose and use of the fee.

The land uses that would be subject to the fee.

The collection point of the fee.

The legal authority the City has to impose the fee.

The data available to support the fee calculation.

Any additional data needed tosupport a legally defensible fee.

Harris’ recommendation on whether the fee is legally
supportable and appropriate for the City of Solvang, together withthe basis for that conclusion.

Harris will provide the preliminary matrix and
recommendations to City staff for review and participate in one 1) virtual meeting to discuss the findings. The meeting will confirm the categories to be developed in the comprehensive study. All categories determined tobe recommended, legally and technically supportable, and appropriate for Solvang will proceed through fee calculation and documentation; categories lacking adequate legal authority or technical support will be documented as not recommended or unsupported, with the
basis and future information needs clearly stated.

Task 1.5: Detailed Work Plan
Based on the outcome of the Fee Feasibility and Legal
Authority Matrix, Harris will prepare a detailed project work plan establishing the sequence of work, key milestones, responsibilities, anticipated review periods, decision points, communication protocols, and draft and final deliverables.

The work plan will identify:

Major technical, policy, public-review, and adoption
milestones.

The timing and responsibility for City- provided information.

Draft deliverables to be submitted to City staff for review.

City review periods and procedures for providing
consolidated comments.

Coordination points among Harris, City departments, and City legal counsel.

reports (PDF).

TASK 2 – COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT

IMPACT FEE NEXUS STUDY
Harris will prepare the Comprehensive Development Impact Fee Nexus Study addressing the City’s traditional infrastructure and public-facility fee programs. Each fee category will be evaluated under the legal and analytical framework applicable to that fee.

The analysis will include all traditional development impact fee categories identified in Task 1. 4 as recommended, legally andtechnically supportable, andappropriate for the City. The standalone Affordable Housing In- Lieu Fee Study, if supported, is addressed under Task 3. Water and wastewater capacity and connection fees are excluded inaccordance with Addendum No. 2.

The review will consider projected development, the nature of the proposed facilities and improvements, available planning and cost information, potential funding mechanisms, potential fee payors, and the applicable legal framework. Harris will recommend an appropriate methodology, fee structure, and implementation approach for each proposed fee.
29 Harris & Associates, Inc. Scope of Services 19
Task 2.1: Needs Assessment
The Harris team will prepare a coordinated Needs Assessment establishing the development assumptions for the proposed 10-year planning horizon, service populations, existing facility conditions and identified deficiencies, levels of service, facility standards, and preliminary growth-related capital needs that will form the basis of the Comprehensive Development Impact Fee Nexus Study.

This task will provide the City with an opportunity to review and confirm the proposed assumptions, facility needs, service standards, and analytical approach before Harris proceeds with detailed nexus calculations and preparation of the draft Nexus Study.

Task 2.1.1: Identify Assumptions
Harris will develop a coordinated set of existing and projected development assumptions for the Comprehensive Nexus Study.

The assumptions will be based on available City planning documents, demographic and economic data, development
forecasts, and other relevant information.

This work will include:

Establishing existing and projected residential and nonresidential development by land-use category and geographic fee area, where applicable.

Identifying existing population, projected population growth, employment, housing units, building square footage, acreage, and other appropriate development measures.

Developing service-population factors for residents and employees, as appropriate for each facility category.

Evaluating representative residential unit sizes and residential square-footage assumptions consistent with AB602 and
Government Code section 66324.

Identifying applicable development categories for residential and non-residential development.

Task 2.1.2: Evaluate Existing Infrastructure and Conditions For each proposed fee category, Harris will evaluate the City’s existing public facilities, infrastructure, equipment, and available capacity inrelation tothe demands generated by the existing service population.

Harris will review available facility inventories, the City’s adopted ten-year Capital Improvement Program, General Plan, master plans, traffic studies, specific plans, prior fee studies, adopted policy documents, and other relevant information to:

Identify existing public facilities, infrastructure, vehicles, equipment, land, and other eligible capital assets.

Evaluate existing facility capacity and current demand for services.

Identify existing deficiencies or unfunded needs that may not be assigned to future development.

Establish the existing level of service for each public facility proposed to be funded through development impact fees.

Identify available capacity, if any, that may serve future development.

Document the relationship between existing facilities,
adopted planning policies, and anticipated growth.

Task 2.1.3: Identify New Development Standards
The Harris team will identify the appropriate basis for establishing facility standards for new development. Harris anticipates applying a System Plan Method where current City documents and staff-validated information support an integrated system of existing and planned facilities, including transportation and circulation facilities. Depending on the category and available evidence, the analysis may instead use an Existing Inventory Method, Planned Facility Method, or another legally supportable approach. Harris will document why the selected method best reflects facility demand, available data, and the City’s planning framework.

This work will include:

Reviewing relevant standards contained inthe General
Plan, specific plans, master plans, facility plans, ordinances, resolutions, and other adopted City policies.

Evaluating the adopted 10-year Capital Improvement Plan toidentify public facilities and improvements that may be needed to serve projected development.

Reviewing preliminary project descriptions, approximate locations, size or capacity, timing, and available cost information.

Task 2.1.4: Identify Existingand Proposed Levels of Service Harris will evaluate whether existing service standards should be maintained or whether a different proposed service standard is appropriate. Harris will document the existing and proposed levels of service for public facilities funded through impact fees and explain any proposed change inaccordance with Government Code section 66016.5, as applicable to the Nexus Study.

The analysis will distinguish existing deficiencies or unfunded needs that may not be assigned tofuture development and will identify available capacity, if any, that may serve future development.

Task 2.1.5: Identificationof Facility Costs
Harris will review the City’s adopted 10-year Capital
Improvement Plan and other current City documents and work with department staff to identify and validate eligible public facilities, planned projects, and capital costs. City staff will assist by confirming project descriptions, approximate locations, size or capacity, cost basis, anticipated timing, existing-deficiency components, and available or anticipated funding sources.

This information will be refined as needed to satisfy applicable nexus-study documentation requirements. 30

Allocating project costs among existing development, future development, grants, restricted revenues, and other available funding sources.

Reviewing outstanding obligations, available fundbalances, prior expenditures, credits, reimbursements, and other
adjustments relevant to the fee calculation.

Harris will rely on current City plans, studies, models, project lists, cost information, and other documentation supplied or identified by the City and validated through coordination with City staff. The scope does not include preparing or updating master plans, engineering or infrastructure studies, detailed project cost estimates, traffic counts, traffic forecasts, travel-demand or transportation- network modeling, or other additional source documentation. Any transportation fee analysis will rely onthe City’s existing transportation plans, studies, project information, growth assumptions, and available supporting data; no new or updated traffic modeling is included.

Cost estimates, revenue projections, development assumptions, economic forecasts, and similar analyses prepared by Harris represent professional opinions based onthe information and assumptions available at the time of preparation. These analyses are not guarantees of actual costs, revenues, development activity, or future conditions.

If an existing or potential fee category cannot be adequately supported by the available information and reasonable,
documented assumptions, Harris will identify the category as technically unsupported at this time and explain the additional planning, engineering, modeling, cost, or other information needed tosupport its future development. Timely completion ofthe analysis will depend onthe City’s timely provision and validation of available data and consolidated staff direction.

Task 2.1.6: Needs Assessment Memorandum and City
Confirmation
Harris will prepare a concise Needs Assessment Memorandum documenting the preliminary findings and assumptions that will be used inthe Nexus Study. The memorandum will summarize:

Existing and projected development assumptions.

Service-population and demand factors.

Existing facility inventories and available capacity.

Existing deficiencies that cannot be assigned to new
development.

Existing and proposed levels of service.

Recommended facility standards and nexus methodologies.

Preliminary growth-related facility and infrastructure needs.

Available capital project and cost information.

Material data gaps, outstanding decisions, and recommended next steps.

Following City staff review, Harris will participate in one ( 1) virtual meeting to confirm the needs assessment assumptions before proceeding to detailed proportionality and costallocation analysis. For transportation and other system-plan categories, this meeting will specifically confirm the existing and planned project inventory, costs, timing, other funding, and allocation between existing development and future growth.

Because the memorandum is intended toserve as an assumption confirmation document, timely City review and confirmation will be essential. It will be essential for City staff to promptly provide consolidated comments, resolve outstanding policy or data questions, and confirm the assumptions so Harris can proceed withthe subsequent analysis and maintain the project schedule.

Task 2.1 Meetings: One (1) virtual meeting with City staff.

Task 2.1 Deliverables: Meeting agenda, meeting minutes and Needs Assessment Memorandum (Microsoft Word and PDF).

Task 2.2: Nexus and Proportionality Analysis
Building onthe Needs Assessment, Harris will establish the legal nexus and proportionality findings for each proposed fee category. This task will connect new development impacts to required facilities, identify the appropriate allocation methodology, and quantify the share of eligible costs
attributable to each development category.

Task 2.2.1: Conduct Nexus Analysis
The Harris team will conduct the nexus analysis required to establish the connection between the impacts from new development on the proposed public facilities and the benefits received by new development from the proposed public
facilities. For each fee category, the Harris team will:

Identify the purpose ofthe fee and the public facilities or improvements for which fee revenues will be used.

Establish the relationship between the use ofthe fee and the types of development on which the fee will be imposed.

Establish the relationship between the need for the facilities and the impacts generated by each development category.

Evaluate the benefits that future development will receive from the proposed facilities.

Identify the appropriate demand factors and cost-allocation methodology.

Exclude existing deficiencies and costs that are not
attributable to new development.
31 Harris & Associates, Inc. Scope of Services 21
The analysis may be based on population, employment, acreage, equivalent dwelling units (EDU), trips, vehicle miles traveled VMT), square footage, or other appropriate allocation measures.

Task 2.2.2: Quantify Proportional Shareof Costs
Harris will quantify the proportional share offacility costs attributable to each category of new development for each category of public facilities and document the reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the facilities attributable to development. This analysis will determine the proportion of project costs attributable toexisting deficiencies versus future growth.

Task 2.3: Fee Structure and Comparative Fee Analysis
Harris will buildan organized, fully editable Excel model that clearly delineates inputs, assumptions, formulas,
cost allocations, maximum legally supportable fees, and recommended fees. The model will allow City staff to update land-use assumptions, project costs, fundbalances, and annual cost indices without recreating the analysis.

Task 2.3.1: Calculate Fees
Harris will calculate the maximum legally supportable fee for each applicable development category based on the nexus and proportionality analysis. The fee calculations will:

Use a per-square-foot residential fee structure consistent with Government Code sections 66016.5 and 66324, unless another metric is legally justified and recommended.

Evaluate per-unit, per-square-foot, acreage-based, demandbased, or other fee metrics for non-residential and specialized development categories.

Include appropriate administrative components supporting fee administration, updates, reporting, and compliance.

Task 2.3.2: Fee Benchmarking Analysis
Harris will prepare a financial impact analysis to help the City evaluate maximum legally supportable fees, existing fee levels, cumulative fee impacts, regional competitiveness, and policy options. This task will support staff, stakeholders, and the City Council inunderstanding practical implementation choices associated with the updated fee program.

As part ofthis task, Harris will:

Compare the City’s existing fees with the proposed maximum legally supportable fees.

Benchmark the existing and proposed fees with fees imposed by up to six (6) comparable or nearby public agencies selected by City staff.

Identify material differences in fee amounts, fee structures, development categories, and the types of facilities included in each agency’s fee program.

Explain significant limitations affecting direct comparisons, including differences in service levels, capital programs, geographic fee areas, funding sources, and study
methodologies, as appropriate and when data is available.

Identify fee categories for which Solvang’s proposed fees may be materially higher or lower than those ofthe selected agencies.

Estimate the effects of potential fee revenue reductions and affected fee funds or capital programs.

Discuss possible alternative funding or backfill strategies.

Summarize policy options for City Council consideration.

The fee benchmarking will be based on publicly available fee schedules, nexus studies, ordinances, resolutions, and other available agency information. Because development impact fee programs differ by jurisdiction, the benchmarking analysis will provide general policy context and will not be used as the legal basis for determining the City’s fees.

Harris will summarize the fee calculations and benchmarking analysis ina memorandum for City staff review. Following City staff review, Harris will participate in one ( 1) virtual meeting with City staff to discuss the draft fee calculations and benchmarking analysis. The objective of this meeting will be to confirm alignment with the maximum legally supportable fee calculations and to determine a course of action regarding the recommended fee amounts prior to the development ofthe draft nexus study.

Task 2.3 Meetings: One (1) virtual meeting with City staff.

Task 2.3 Deliverables: Meeting agenda, meeting minutes
and fee calculation and benchmarking analysis memorandum Microsoft Word).

Task 2.4: Prepare Comprehensive Development Impact
Fee Nexus Study
Once the methodologies and preliminary fee calculations have been reviewed with City staff, Harris will prepare an Administrative Draft Comprehensive Development Impact
Fee Nexus Study inaccordance with the Mitigation Fee Act, including Government Code sections 66016.5 and 66001. The study will be organized ina clear and legally defensible manner and will include a plain-language executive summary. The study will include required legal and technical documentation, background information, methodology, recommended
fee amounts, and applicable information required under
AB602, including rough proportionality and essential nexus considerations reflected in Sheetz v. County of El Dorado.

The Nexus Study will document, as applicable:

The overall methodology and supporting justification for each fee.

Existing and projected development and service-population assumptions.

Existing facility inventories and available capacity.

Existing and proposed levels of service and explanations of any proposed change.

Facility standards and growth-related capital needs.32
Harris & Associates, Inc. Scope of Services 22
Capital Improvement Program information, including
approximate project locations, size or capacity, cost basis, anticipated timing, and funding sources.

Existing deficiencies and the allocation of costs between existing and future development.

The nexus and proportionality analysis for each development and facility category.

Maximum legally supportable fee calculations and
comparative fee schedules showing existing, maximum, and recommended fees.

Credits, reimbursements, oversizing policies, administrative components, and other implementation considerations.

The findings required by the Mitigation Fee Act and other applicable legal requirements.

Summaries ofthe proposed updated or new impact fees
written to assist public understanding.

The study will identify the purpose and use of each fee; the relationship between the fee’s use and the development on which it will be imposed; the relationship between the need for the facilities and the development generating that need; and the proportional relationship between the amount ofthe fee and the cost ofthe facilities attributable to development.

Harris will also address applicable administrative and
implementation matters, including fee effective dates, annual fee adjustment procedures including the appropriate adjustment index, credit and reimbursement policies, online reporting requirements under AB1483, fee collection requirements under SB937, accessory dwelling units, changes of use, redevelopment, and other relevant procedures. The Administrative Draft will undergo Harris’ internal QA/QC review before submission to the City. Following City staff review, Harris will participate in one 1) virtual meeting with City staff to discuss the Administrative Draft. Harris will incorporate consolidated City comments into a Public Review Draft. Following the public outreach process, Harris will make all revisions reasonably necessary to produce a final, adoption-ready study and supporting documents following public review and City direction.

Harris will perform a final technical, editorial, and consistency review of each report. This review will confirm that the methodologies, assumptions, calculations, tables, recommended fees, findings, and implementation documents are internally consistent and that the report reflects City direction. The Comprehensive Development Impact Fee Nexus Study will
document the applicable legal framework, demographic and development assumptions, facility inventories and standards, capital improvement needs, cost allocations, nexus and
proportionality findings, maximum legally supportable fees, recommended fees, implementation policies, and required statutory findings. The report will include the supporting fee schedules, capital improvement program information, technical calculations, and appendices necessary todocument the analysis.

As stated below in Task 5, the final electronic reports will be prepared to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG) 2.2 Level AA and applicable federal and State

TASK 3 – AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN-LIEU

FEE STUDY
Task 3.1: Affordable Housing In- Lieu Fee Study
Ifthe affordable housing in-lieu fee is determined to be legally supportable and appropriate for Solvang, Harris will host a virtual meeting with City staff to discuss the specific assumptions and data points necessary tocalculate the legally defensible Residential Affordable Housing In- Lieu Fee and prepare a separate Residential Affordable Housing In- Lieu Fee Study under this distinct work task. The study will evaluate the relationship between new market-rate residential development and affordable housing demand; quantify affordability gaps and subsidy needs; calculate the maximum study-supported in-lieu fee; and evaluate policy and implementation alternatives. This standalone report is appropriate because the analysis is based on affordable housing demand and subsidy needs rather than the cost oftraditional public infrastructure. The task will be shown as a separate lineitem inthe cost proposal while remaining withinthe proposal’s comprehensive not-to-exceed amount.

The Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee Study will document:

The study purpose and applicable policy framework.

Residential development prototypes and market assumptions.

Household income and housing affordability assumptions.

The nexus and affordability-gap methodology.

Affordable housing demand and subsidy calculations.

Maximum study-supported in-lieu fees.

Fee and compliance alternatives.

Exemptions, thresholds, credits, phase-inoptions, and other implementation considerations.

Recommendations for administering and periodically
updating the program.

The study will distinguish the maximum fee supported by the analysis from the fee or compliance requirement the City may elect toadopt based on its housing policies, market conditions, 33 Harris & Associates, Inc. Scope of Services 23
and other considerations. The Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee Study will document the applicable policy and legal framework, residential development prototypes, market and affordability assumptions, affordable housing demand, affordability gaps and subsidy requirements, maximum study-supported fees, potential compliance alternatives, and implementation considerations.

The report will clearly distinguish between the maximum fee supported by the analysis and the fee or alternative compliance requirement the City may elect to adopt.

The Administrative Draft will undergo Harris’ internal QA/ QC review before submission tothe City. Harris will incorporate consolidated City comments intoa Public Review Draft.

Following the public outreach process, Harris will make all revisions reasonably necessary toproduce a final, adoptionready Affordable Housing In- Lieu Fee Study following public review and City direction. Harris will perform a final technical, editorial, and consistency review of each report. This review will confirm that the methodologies, assumptions, calculations, tables, recommended fees, findings, and implementation documents are internally consistent and that the report reflects City direction.

The final electronic reports will be prepared to meet WCAG

2.2 Level AA and applicable federal and State accessibility requirements, including semantic headings, accessible tables, descriptive links, alttext where needed, reading order, bookmarks, and tagged PDF output.

Task 3.1 Meetings: Study will be timed withthe Comprehensive Development Impact Fee Nexus Study and meetings for this task are captured in Task 2.4 withthe exception of one virtual meeting todiscuss assumptions and necessary data.

TASK 4 – PUBLIC REVIEW, STAKEHOLDER

OUTREACH, AND ADOPTION SUPPORT
The Harris team will support a coordinated outreach and adoption process. Harris will prepare public-facing study documents, support stakeholder engagement, and assist City staff through public review, City Council study session, and adoption.

Documentation will be organized tosupport technical review, public understanding, statutory noticing, and City Council decision-making.

Task 4.1: Stakeholder and Community Engagement
2 Meetings)
Meaningful input from the development community and other stakeholders is important todeveloping practical, implementable, and legally defensible fee programs. Assuming the Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee Study is determined tobe an economically feasible, legally supportable and appropriate for the City and the City directs Harris toproceed, the Development Impact Fee Nexus Study and Affordable Housing In- Lieu Fee Study will involve separate engagement processes because they have different methodologies, policy considerations, and affected stakeholders.

Harris will conduct up totwo separate virtual stakeholder meetings, as directed by the City:

One meeting focused on the Development Impact Fee Nexus Study.

One meeting focused on the Affordable Housing In- Lieu Fee Study.

Participants may include representatives from the development community, advisory bodies, affordable housing providers, housing advocacy organizations, property owners, and other interested parties, as applicable toeach study. For each meeting, Harris will present the applicable draft methodology, findings, benchmarking results, policy considerations, proposed fee structure, and implementation options. Harris will answer questions, document stakeholder comments, discuss the feedback with City staff, and incorporate relevant feedback into the respective study, as detailed in Task 2 and Task 3.

Task 4.2: City Council Study Session
Harris will prepare for and present the Development Impact Fee Nexus Study and Affordable Housing In- Lieu Fee Study at one ( 1) City Council study session.

Following adoption ofthe studies by the City Council, Harris will electronically transmit the final Cityspecific documents and models prepared under the preceding tasks. Task 5 is limited to compiling and transmitting the completed files and does not include the preparation of new documents other than the user guide described below.

Files will be transmitted inthe final native and publication formats in which they were prepared, which may include
Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files and corresponding PDF versions, as applicable. The City- specific Excel model will not be password-protected or otherwise restricted ina manner that prevents the City from reviewing the applicable inputs, tracing formulas, or updating City-specific assumptions and fee schedules.

Ownership and Editable Source Files
Editable source files will be provided for the final Cityspecific deliverables in the native formats identified below.

This requirement does not include Harris’ s preexisting or independently developed intellectual property, proprietary templates, standardized methodologies, internal calculation tools, software, databases, internal working papers, qualitycontrol materials, draft files, know- how, or other materials used to prepare the deliverables. It also does not include third-party data or materials that Harris is not authorized to transfer because oflicensing, confidentiality, or other use restrictions.

To the extent Harris’s preexisting templates, methodologies, formulas, or other proprietary materials are incorporated into a final City- specific deliverable, Harris will retain ownership ofthose underlying materials, while the City will receive a perpetual, nonexclusive, royalty-free license touse the incorporated materials as part ofthe final deliverable for the City’s internal governmental purposes. Nothing inthis scope requires Harris toprovide information belonging toother clients or proprietary materials that are not necessary for the City toreview, implement, and reasonably update its final fee programs.

Staff User Guide and Editable Fee Model
Harris will prepare a staff user guide describing the
organization and intended use of the development impact fee calculation model. The guide will identify key definitions, input assumptions, calculation steps, formulas, fee categories, output tables, and procedures for performing future annual inflationary adjustments. It will also identify inputs that should not be changed without further technical or legal evaluation.

The City-specific financial and fee calculation model willbe provided in Microsoft Excel with the applicable input cells, formulas, calculation schedules, and output tables available for City review and future use. “Fully editable” means that the City will be able to review and modify the City-specific assumptions and inputs, trace the formulas used to calculate the fees, and update the resulting fee schedules. The model will not be password- protected or otherwise restricted in a manner that prevents the City from reviewing or updating the City-specific calculations.

The editable model will be provided for the City’ s internal governmental use. Future changes to the model’s methodology, facility standards, cost allocations, land-use categories, or nexus assumptions may require additional technical and legal review to confirm that the resulting fees remain adequately supported and legally defensible.

Work Schedule and/or Proposed
Timeline
Harris will manage the work tosupport final City Council action onboth studies by April 1, 2027. This date represents the anticipated deadline for final City Council consideration and action, not the effective date of the adopted fees. The effective dates of the Development Impact Fees and Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee will be determined following final City Council action based on applicable statutory requirements and the final adoption and implementation documents.

This is an aggressive schedule that will require close
coordination between Harris and the City, regular
communication between the Harris Project Manager and the City’s designated Project Manager, and the early and ongoing involvement of City legal counsel. The schedule assumes:

Notice to proceed and kickoff by September 15, 2026.

Timely receipt of complete City data and documents.

City staff availability to confirm existing conditions, planned facilities and projects, affordable housing policies, and key assumptions.

Prompt City review of each deliverable.

One consolidated set of City comments oneach draft study within seven business days.

Advance reservation of stakeholder and City Council meeting dates.

Timely legal review and direction throughout the process.

PROPOSED PROJECT SCHEDULE
Harris’ proposed project schedule is presented on the
following page.

Key Scope Assumptions and City
Responsibilities
The following assumptions are integral to the proposed
approach, schedule, and not-to-exceed fee:

Water and wastewater capacity and connection fee studies are excluded inaccordance with Addendum No. 2.

The City will provide current adopted plans, existing studies, fee models and schedules, facility inventories, project lists, cost estimates, fund information, development projections, and other relevant records inan organized electronic format.

City department staff will participate in the kickoff, interviews, and confirmation meetings and will identify and validate existing facilities, available capacity, deficiencies, planned projects, costs, timing, and funding sources. This assistance is essential toa legally defensible System Plan Method, particularly for transportation and circulation facilities.

Harris will rely on existing City documents and staff- validated information. Preparation of new master plans, engineering studies, traffic counts, a travel-demand model, detailed designs, or independent project cost estimates is outside the scope.

If available information and reasonable documented
assumptions do not support a fee category, Harris will classify it as legally or technically unsupported at this time and explain the basis and information needed for future consideration.

If supported, the Affordable Housing In- Lieu Fee Study will be prepared as a separate report and cost-proposal line item within the comprehensive not-to-exceed amount; meetings will be coordinated withthe comprehensive study where practical.

The City will provide consolidated comments within
the assumed review periods, reserve stakeholder and
Council dates, provide legal review, make the final CEQA determination, and issue all required notices and postings. 36 Harris & Associates, Inc. Scope of Services 26

General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Consultant. Consultant and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Consultant:

1. Consultant agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials, employees and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 with an edition prior to 1992, or a City approved equivalent. Consultant also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.

2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall prohibit Consultant, or Consultant’s employees, or agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Consultant agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.

3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Consultant and available or applicable to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement 54 Harris & Assoc
or any other agreement relating to the City or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.

4. 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 City and approved of in writing.

5. Consultant’s general liability policy shall not contain any provision or definition that would serve to eliminate so-called “third party action over” claims, including any exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor.

6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, reasonable modification and reasonable additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Consultant shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect City’s protection without City’s prior written consent.

7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to Consultant’s general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Consultant or deducted from sums due Consultant, at City option.

Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.

11. If Consultant’s existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or selfinsured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the Consultant, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions. Consultant shall be responsible for paying any deductibles or self-insured retentions on its policies.

12. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City.

13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement. 55 Harris & Assoc

14. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.

15. Consultant will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City executes a written statement to that effect.

16. Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from Consultant’s insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five days of the expiration of the coverages.

17. The provisions of any workers’ compensation or similar act will not limit the obligations of Consultant under this agreement. Consultant expressly agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City, its employees, officials and agents.

18. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. 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 limiting or all-inclusive.

19. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties here to be interpreted as such.

20. The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section.

21. Consultant agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used between itself and its subconsultants reserves the right to charge City or Consultant for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements.

There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.

22. Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Consultant arising out of the work performed under this agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City.
