Report to City Council
Meeting Date: March 25, 2025
Title: Boating Safety and Enforcement Equipment Grant Application Authorization Location: Police Department
Responsible Staff Member: Lt. Scott Crivelli
Background: The City provides a Police Boating Safety and Enforcement Program each year for residents and visitors of our community. The California Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) offers grant funding to local government agencies to purchase boating safety and equipment through the Boating Safety and Enforcement Equipment Grant Program. Staff is looking to apply to the Equipment Grant to receive funding to replace the police boat’s outboard motors in an amount up to $110,000.
Issue and Discussion: South Lake Tahoe PD currently operates our one police boat on Lake Tahoe, typically between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Police boat operations are funded by a financial aid program through Division of Boating and Waterways and El Dorado County vessel taxes.
The police boat is powered by two 2016 Mercury Verado 300 outboard motors. Each motor currently has approximately 2100 hours of use. The outboard motors have reached a point in their operational lives where repairs are frequent and expensive. In 2024 both outboard motors required a major repair of over $10,000 each. The marine mechanics at North Tahoe Marina, where the police boat is repaired and serviced, recommend motor replacements, to prevent additional failures and expensive repairs. Additionally, since SLT PD only has one police boat, frequent motor repairs results in a lack of police boat presence for emergency response and safety enforcement on the south shore of Lake Tahoe.
With the authorization from City Council, staff will be applying to the Division of Boating and Waterway Boating Safety and Equipment Grant for an amount up to $110,000 for funding to replace the police boat outboard motors. The grant application period is March 14, 2025 – April 30, 2025. If awarded funding through the grant, staff will return to Council for acceptance of the grant funding and award of the repair contract in accordance with procurement procedures.
Financial Implications: This item is a request for authorization to apply for the Equipment Grant. There are no matching requirements for this grant. Upon Grant Award, funding will be requested to be appropriated into the Police Boat Account 237 02110 upon city council approval.
124
Council Agenda Report – March 25, 2025 Page 2 of 2
Environmental Considerations: The proposed action is not a “project” subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4) (creation of government funding mechanisms or government fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment).
Policy Implications: The police boating safety program supports the City of South Lake Tahoe’s Strategic Plan “5.1 – Public Safety”.

Meeting Date: March 25, 2025
Title: Ratification of Amendment 2 to Lumos Agreement for Pioneer Trail Highway Safety Improvement Project (HSIP)
Location: Pioneer Trail between Glenwood Way and Edna Street Responsible Staff Member: Stephen Anderjack, Project Manager Background: In June 2018, the City of South Lake Tahoe, in partnership with the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA), conducted a Systematic Safety Analysis report using grant funding from the State of California. This study reviewed accident history at key intersections throughout the city and ranked each by severity. Rankings were determined by the number of crashes, the severity of each crash, and the amount of property damage caused. This ranking methodology is used by traffic engineers and for the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The safety analysis determined that the intersection of Pioneer Trail and Edna Street-Glenwood Way has one of the top three accident history rankings amongst city-maintained roads.
An informal Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued in June 2023, soliciting engineering and design services. After reviewing the three proposals delivered to Public Works, Lumos and Associates is the most qualified consultant. On August 1, 2023, a Professional Service Agreement (PSA) was executed with Lumos & Associates (C-126-2023) in the amount of $45,000, for a term ending on December 31, 2023. The project scope includes widening lanes and shoulders, improving line striping, installing radar speed feedback signs, and improving drainage at the Glenwood Way and Pioneer Trail intersection.
Amendment 1 (C-006-2024) was executed on January 22, 2024, and contained scope to relocate a storm drain inlet, and a Liberty power pole. This scope also included coordination with Liberty to move the pole. Amendment 1’s total price increase is $11,000, bringing the current PSA total value to $56,000. Amendment 1 extended the term to June 30, 2024.
The project has since been fully designed and bid to contractors. Bids were opened on February 25, 2025, and the apparent low bidder has been identified. The Public Works Department is waiting on the City of SLT Building Department Permit prior to recommending award of the contract.
Issue and Discussion: The Public Works Department staff is recommending the approval of a PSA Amendment for two additional services needed for project construction:
Ratification of PSA Amendment 2
128
Council Agenda Report March 25, 2025 Page 2 of 2
The Public Works Department is recommending the approval of Ratification of PSA Amendment 2 for Lumos’s design contract. PSA Amendment 2 includes construction assistance for the project. The scope of the work includes submittal review and approval, RFI review and response, and Construction Change Order review and approval. These tasks will occur before and during construction. The total amendment cost is an additional $12,500 added to the contract value.
Since the term of this Agreement expired on June 30, 2024, this Ratification also extends the term to October 25, 2025, retroactive to July 1, 2024.
The Building Department approval of the project is contingent upon the installation of a drainage system behind a proposed retaining wall on the project. PSA Amendment 2 contains the addition of scope to design the retaining wall drainage system and incorporate the changes into the plan set. The total amendment cost is $2,500 added to the contract value.
The total cost for the amendment is $15,000 for a contract cost not to exceed the amount of $71,000.
Financial Implications: PSA Amendment 2 will be funded by the Engineering Professional Services Account 100-03210-42020. The account currently has $163,322 available and the total cost of the amendment is $15,000.
Environmental Considerations: On June 15, 2021, the City Planning Manager filed a CEQA Notice of Exemption with the State Clearinghouse as a Class 4, 15304 (minor alteration to land) categorical exemption, State Clearinghouse Number 2021060316. This project is comprised of minor alterations to an existing street. No additional automobile lanes will be created, and no additional vehicular capacity is expected. Additionally, this project seeks to add safety devices for use in conjunction with existing facilities. Caltrans, the Project Lead for NEPA found the Project to be Categorically Exempt.
Policy Implications:
This project is consistent with the City Council's priorities and will enhance public safety through improvements to the built environment.

Subject: Pioneer Trail – Edna Avenue Safety Improvement Project – Revised Proposal for Engineering Services Dear Stan:
Lumos & Associates, Inc. is pleased to provide you with this revised proposal for surveying, engineering and related services for the proposed Safety Improvement Project located at Pioneer Trail and Edna Avenue in South Lake Tahoe. Per our recent email discussion, we have eliminated the tasks for the Initial Site Assessment and Air Deposited Lead Memorandum, as the City will be contracting directly with Blackburn Consulting for these services.
Project Understanding
We understand that our scope of work will include:
1) Topographic and boundary survey of the full width of approximately 900 LF of Pioneer Trail public right-of-way between southwesterly Bodie Drive and southwesterly April Drive. The topographic survey shall accurately place existing improvements within the ROW and locate adjacent property boundaries. A coverage map & calculations per TRPA requirements will also be compiled.
2) Engineering design services for extending the Glenwood Drive left turn pocket and tapered medians which will require street pavement widening as necessary to accommodate two traffic lanes, two standard Class 2 bicycle lanes, one left-turn lane, tapered medians designed in accordance with the City Public Improvement and Engineering Standards (PIES), Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (Greenbook), 2022 Caltrans Standard Plans, Caltrans 2022 Standard Specifications, and the current edition of the CA MUTCD. 3) Engineering design services for relocating curb and gutter and the existing storm drain system located on the easterly side of Pioneer Trail as may be necessary to perform pavement widening. Proposed coverage calculations will be prepared for the proposed improvements. New BMPs will be designed to accommodate the runoff that collects on the east side of Pioneer Trail. It is currently assumed that the other points of stormwater discharge on the north and south sides of Glenwood Way will not require stormwater BMPs. If stormwater BMPs are required at these locations, we can work with the City to provide design services under a separate addendum.
4) Pavement striping plan for proposed traffic lane configuration design. 5) Two solar powered Radar Driver Feedback Signs.
6) The street light design services requested in the RFP will not be required per our recent discussions. The City is currently working with Liberty to install one streetlight at Edna Avenue, and there is an existing street light at Glenwood Way.
Project Scope
Task 1 – Topographic and Boundary Survey
Lumos will prepare a Topographic Survey Map at 1" = 20' scale with 1 foot contour interval accuracy in accordance to National Map Accuracy Standards for the subject parcel. All existing surface improvements, any trees greater than 6” defined by species, striping/pavement markings, visible evidence of utilities within the project area will be shown. The limits of the survey will be the full rightof-way width along Pioneer Trail from Bode Drive to April Drive and along Glenwood Way, 100 feet west of Pioneer Trail. A coverage map & calculations per TRPA requirements will also be compiled.
Record boundary information from adjacent surveys will be shown for the right-of-way utilizing existing found property corners. No new boundary monuments will be set as part of this scope of service. If a material discrepancy in the record boundary is found, the client will be advised with a proposal to conduct a new boundary survey and file a Record of Survey. The project datum will be referenced to modified state plane coordinates (NAD 83, California Zone 2) and the vertical datum will be NAVD88. Deliverables will include a signed PDF and CAD files, including a Civil 3D surface with appropriate breaklines and orthophoto. All work will be performed under the direction of a California licensed Professional Land Surveyor, license number L-8005.
Task 2 – Civil Improvement Plan
Lumos will prepare a Civil Improvement Plan for review by the City of South Lake Tahoe for the permitting of the improvements identified in the Project Understanding. The drawings will be prepared on 24x36” format sheets at standard engineering scale. The drawings will include a title sheet, detail sheets, site plan, grading plan, BMP Plan, utility plan, signage and striping plan, and erosion control plan. The plans will be submitted to the City of South Lake Tahoe and TRPA. This task assumes a 60%, 90%, and 100% submittal will be provided.
Task 3 – Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (OPCC) Lumos will prepare an Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (OPCC) based upon the improvements shown on the Civil Improvement Plan. Lumos will provide quantities of the improvements, as well our most reasonable estimate of the current cost of the proposed improvements. The City will be providing the specifications and will be bidding out the project, and the OPCC should be updated by the City upon receipt of solicited bids.

Please read the policy carefully.
PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY TERMS AND CONDITIONS
These Professional Liability Terms and Conditions apply to the Professional Liability Coverage.

I. DEDUCTIBLE
The first Named Insured will bear uninsured the amount of any applicable Deductible.
The Company's obligation to pay Damages and Defense Expenses applies only to the amount of Damages and Defense Expenses that are in excess of the applicable Deductible for each Claim amount set forth in ITEM 5 of the Declarations. The Company may, at its discretion, pay all or part of any Deductible amount on behalf of the first Named Insured, and in such event, the first Named Insured agrees to repay the Company any amounts so paid.
If ITEM 5 of the Declarations indicates that a Deductible applies for all Claims, the Insured's obligation to pay Damages and Defense Expenses, for all Claims made during each Policy Year will not exceed the Deductible amount for all Claims set forth in ITEM 5 of the Declarations. If there is no Deductible amount shown for all Claims, the first Named Insured will be responsible for the each Claim amount for each and every Claim, without further limitation regardless of how often it applies.
II. LIMITS
A. Professional Liability Coverage Limits
1. Professional Services and Network and Information Security Offenses Coverage Limits Regardless of the number of persons or entities bringing Claims or the number of persons or entities who are Insureds:

B. Additional Benefits Limits
1. Crisis Event Expenses Limits
Regardless of the number of Crisis Events qualifying for Crisis Event Expenses, or the number of persons or entities who are Insureds:

2. Disciplinary or Regulatory Proceeding Expenses Limits Regardless of the number of Disciplinary or Regulatory Proceedings qualifying for Disciplinary or Regulatory Proceeding Expenses, or the number of persons or entities who are Insureds:
a. the Company’s maximum limit for Disciplinary or Regulatory Proceeding Expenses for each Disciplinary or Regulatory Proceeding first initiated during the Policy Year will not exceed the Disciplinary or Regulatory Proceeding Expenses Limits for each Disciplinary or Regulatory Proceeding set forth in ITEM 6 of the Declarations; and b. the Company’s maximum limit for Disciplinary or Regulatory Proceeding Expenses for all Disciplinary or Regulatory Proceedings first initiated during the Policy Year will not exceed the remaining Disciplinary or Regulatory Proceeding Expenses Limit for all Disciplinary or Regulatory Proceedings set forth in ITEM 6 of the Declarations.

C. Other Provisions
Payment of Damages and Defense Expenses will reduce and may exhaust the applicable Professional Liability Coverage Limits. In the event the amount of Damages or Defense Expenses, or a combination thereof, exceeds the portion of the applicable Professional Liability Coverage Limits remaining after prior payments of Damages or Defense Expenses, or a combination thereof, the Company's liability shall not exceed the remaining amount of the applicable Professional Liability Coverage Limits. In no event will the Company be obligated to make any payment for Damages or Defense Expenses with regard to a Claim made after the applicable Professional Liability Coverage Limit has been exhausted by payment or tender of Damages, or payment of Defense Expenses.
If the Professional Services and Network and Information Security Offenses Coverage Limits are exhausted by the payment of amounts covered under this policy, the premium for this policy will be deemed fully earned, all obligations of the Company will be completely fulfilled, and the Company will have no further obligations.
III. CLAIM DEFENSE
A. The Company has the right and duty to defend any Claim covered by this policy, even if the allegations are groundless, false or fraudulent, including the right to select defense counsel with respect to such Claim, provided that the Company is not obligated to defend or to continue to defend any Claim made after the applicable Professional Liability Coverage Limit is exhausted by payment of Damages and Defense Expenses.
B. The Insured will cooperate with the Company and, upon the Company's request:

2. assist in enforcing rights of contribution or indemnity against any person or entity which may be liable to the Insured because of a Wrongful Act; and
3. attend hearings and trials and assist in securing and giving evidence and obtaining the attendance of witnesses.

IV. RIGHT TO APPEAL
The Company has the right, but not the duty, to appeal a judgment awarded against an Insured in a Claim the Company defends.
V. TRANSFER CONTROL OF DEFENSE
A. Before the applicable Professional Liability Coverage Limit is exhausted by the payment of amounts covered under this policy, the Insured may take control of the Claim defense of any outstanding Claim previously reported to the Company, provided that the Company consents to, or a court orders, such transfer of control.
B. If the applicable Professional Liability Coverage Limit is exhausted by the payment of amounts covered under this policy, the Company will notify the Insured as soon as practicable of all outstanding Claims the Company is defending that are subject to such limit.
C. The Company agrees to take all steps necessary during a transfer of control of defense to the Insured of any outstanding Claim to continue that defense during such transfer. When the Company takes such steps, the Insured agrees that the Company does not waive or relinquish any of the Company's rights under this policy. The Insured also agrees to repay the reasonable expenses incurred by the Company for such steps taken after the applicable Professional Liability Coverage Limit has been exhausted.
VI. PRE-CLAIM ASSISTANCE
At the Company's discretion, the Company will pay Pre-Claim Expenses for a Potential Claim reported in accordance with section VIII. NOTICE OF POTENTIAL CLAIMS. Pre-Claim Expenses must be incurred prior to the date that any Claim is made based upon or arising out of such Potential Claim. Payment of Pre-Claim Expenses is not subject to a Deductible and does not reduce the applicable Professional Liability Coverage Limits. Once a Potential Claim becomes a Claim, Damages and Defenses Expenses that result from such Claim are subject to a Deductible and will reduce the applicable Professional Liability Coverage Limits.
VII. INSURED’S DUTIES IN THE EVENT OF A CLAIM
In the event a Principal Insured becomes aware that a Claim has been made against any Insured, the Insured, as a condition precedent to any rights under this policy, will give to the Company written notice of the particulars of such Claim, including all facts related to any alleged Wrongful Act, the identity of each person allegedly involved in or affected by such Wrongful Act, and the dates of the alleged events, as soon as practicable.

The Insured will not voluntarily settle any Claim, make any settlement offer, assume or admit any liability or, except at the Insured’s own cost, voluntarily make any payment, pay or incur any Defense Expenses, or assume any obligation or incur any other expense, without the Company’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Company will not be liable for any settlement, Defense Expenses, assumed obligation, or admission to which it has not consented.
VIII. NOTICE OF POTENTIAL CLAIMS
If a Principal Insured becomes aware of a Potential Claim and gives the Company written notice during the Policy Period of the particulars of such Potential Claim including:
A. all known facts related to the Potential Claim;
B. the identity, if known, of each person allegedly involved in or affected by such Potential Claim; C. the date such persons became aware of the Potential Claim; 156

©2008 The Travelers Companies, Inc. All Rights Reserved
D. the dates of the alleged events; and

All notices under this section must be sent or delivered to the Company set forth in ITEM 3 of the Declarations and will be effective upon receipt.
IX. RELATED CLAIMS
All Claims or Potential Claims for Related Wrongful Acts will be considered as a single Claim or Potential Claim , whichever is applicable. All Claims or Potential Claims for Related Wrongful Acts will be deemed to have been made the date:
A. the first of such Claims for Related Wrongful Acts was made; or B. the first notice of such Potential Claim for Related Wrongful Acts was received by the Company, whichever is earlier.
X. SUBROGATION
In the event of payment under this policy, the Company is subrogated to all of the lnsured’s rights of recovery against any person or organization to the extent of such payment and the Insured will execute and deliver instruments and papers and do whatever else is necessary to secure such rights. The Insured will do nothing to prejudice such rights.
Section X. SUBROGATION does not apply if the Insured, prior to the date a Wrongful Act is committed, has waived its right of recovery for Damages that result from such Wrongful Act.
XI. RECOVERIES
All recoveries from third parties for payments made under this policy apply, after first deducting the costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery:
A. first, to the Company to reimburse the Company for any Deductible amount it has paid on behalf of any Insured;
B. second, to the Insured to reimburse the Insured for the amount it has paid which would have been paid hereunder, but for the fact that such amount is in excess of the applicable limit hereunder; C. third, to the Company to reimburse the Company for the amount paid hereunder; and D. fourth, to the Insured in satisfaction of any applicable Deductible paid by the Insured, provided that such recoveries do not include any recovery from insurance, suretyship, reinsurance, security or indemnity taken for the Company’s benefit.
XII. ACQUISITIONS
If, during the Policy Period, the Named Insured acquires or forms an entity that performs Professional Services, coverage will be provided for such acquired or formed entity and its respective Insured Persons for Wrongful Acts committed after the Named Insured acquires or forms such entity. Coverage for such entity will end 90 days after the acquisition or formation of such entity, or the end of the Policy Year, whichever is earlier, unless the Company has agreed to provide such coverage by endorsement. 157

XIII. SPOUSAL AND DOMESTIC PARTNER PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY COVERAGE This policy applies to Damages and Defense Expenses for a Claim made against a person who, at the time the Claim is made, is a lawful spouse or a person qualifying as a domestic partner under the provisions of any applicable federal, state, or local law of an Insured Person, but only for a Wrongful Act actually or allegedly committed by the Insured Person, to whom the spouse is married, or who is joined with the domestic partner.

XIV. AUTOMATIC EXTENDED REPORTING PERIOD
If this policy is cancelled or not renewed, the Automatic Extended Reporting Period applies without additional premium effective the date such policy is cancelled or not renewed. The Automatic Extended Reporting Period applies to Claims made and reported to the Company during the Automatic Extended Reporting Period, but only for Wrongful Acts committed wholly prior to the effective date this policy is cancelled or not renewed, and which otherwise would be covered.

A Claim made during the Optional Extended Reporting Period will be deemed to have been made on:
1. the last day of the Policy Period; or
2. if such Claim had earlier been reported to the Company during the Policy Period as Potential Claim, the date notice was received by the Company of such Potential Claim, whichever is earlier.
B.

The entire premium for the Optional Extended Reporting Period Endorsement will be deemed fully earned at the commencement of the Optional Extended Reporting Period.
The Optional Extended Reporting Period will not take effect unless the Named Insured has fulfilled all other duties, and complied with all other conditions and requirements under this policy, and:
1. written notice of such election is received by the Company within 60 days of the effective date such policy is cancelled or not renewed;
2. the additional premium for the Optional Extended Reporting Period Endorsement is paid when due; and
3. full payment of the earned premium due, and repayment of any Deductible owed, is received by the Company within 60 days of the effective date such policy is cancelled or not renewed.

No person or entity has any right to join the Company as a party to any action against the Insured to determine the Insured’s liability, nor will the Company be impleaded by an Insured or such Insured’s legal representative.
Bankruptcy or insolvency of any Insured or an Insured’s estate does not relieve the Company of any of its obligations hereunder.
XVII. CHANGES
Only the first Named Insured is authorized to make changes to the terms of this policy and solely with the Company’s prior written consent. This policy's terms can be changed only by endorsement issued by the Company and made a part of such policy.

XVIII. ASSIGNMENT
This policy may not be assigned or transferred, and any such attempted assignment or transfer will be void and without effect unless the Company has provided its prior written consent to such assignment or transfer.
XIX. MISREPRESENTATION
This policy may be considered void if, after the Inception Date of the Policy Period set forth in ITEM 2 of the Declarations, any Principal Insured has intentionally concealed or misrepresented any material fact or circumstance, concerning this insurance or the subject thereof, provided that section XIX.
MISREPRESENTATION does not apply if such Principal Insured mistakenly:
A. failed to disclose information to the Company; or
B. mislead the Company.
XX. LIBERALIZATION
If, during the Policy Period, the Company makes any changes in the form of this policy that are intended to apply to all Insureds that have such forms as part of their policy, and by which the insurance afforded could be extended or broadened by endorsement or substitution of form without increased premium charge, then such extended or broadened insurance inures to the benefit of the Insured as of the date the revision or change is approved for general use by the applicable department of insurance.

A. payment of premiums and deductibles;
B. receiving any return premiums;
C. receiving notices of cancellation, nonrenewal or change in coverage; 159
PTC-1001 Ed. 11-08 Printed in U.S.A.

D. requesting any change in coverage; or
E. making or, if applicable, consenting to settlement or compromise of any Claim, provided that nothing herein relieves any Insured from giving any notice to the Company that is required under this policy.
XXII. HEADINGS
The titles of the various paragraphs of this policy and its endorsements are inserted solely for convenience or reference and are not to be deemed in any way to limit or affect the provision to which they relate.
XXIII. CONFORMITY TO STATUTE
Any part of this policy that conflicts with any requirement of statutory or regulatory law that applies is automatically amended to conform to such law.
XXIV. LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES
In the event of the death, incapacity or bankruptcy of an Insured, any Claim made against the estate, heirs, legal representatives or assigns of such Insured are deemed to be a Claim made against such Insured.

Subject: Pioneer Trail – Edna Avenue Safety Improvement Project Addendum #1 for Additional Engineering Services
Via email: [email protected]
Dear Stan:
Lumos & Associates, Inc. is pleased to provide you with this addendum for additional engineering and related services for the Pioneer Trail and Edna Avenue Safety Improvement Project located in South Lake Tahoe.
During the development of our improvement plans for the project, it became apparent that the original improvements included in the RFP needed to be expanded to accommodate adequate lane geometry, turn pocket lengths, and sight visibility at the southeast corner of Pioneer Trail and Edna Avenue. The additional improvements required us to move forward with conceptual exhibits, meetings with Liberty Utilities, City Staff, and the County Surveyor that were outside of our original scope of work. This addendum includes the following additional services for the project:
Project Scope
Task 5 – Conceptual Civil Improvement Exhibit and Conceptual Striping Exhibit Lumos will prepare a Conceptual Civil Improvement Exhibit and Conceptual Striping Exhibit for review by the City of South Lake Tahoe that will include revisions to the 60% design improvements to accommodate increased turn pocket and taper lengths by relocating an existing storm drain drop inlet and Liberty Utilities Power Pole.
This exercise includes two meetings with City of South Lake Tahoe staff and the design team. The conceptual improvements shown on these exhibits will be incorporated into the 90% improvement plans upon approval but City staff.
Lump Sum Fee: $8,500
Task 6 – Meetings & Coordination with Liberty Utilities Lumos worked with Liberty Utilities to determine the feasibility of relocating the existing power pole at the corner of Edna Avenue and Pioneer Trail. Lumos determined the scope of work for the power pole relocation and obtained review schedules and other pertinent information for the City. Lumos has attended one meeting and anticipates that three additional meetings will be required to advance the Civil Improvement Plans to 100%.
Time & Materials: $2,500
Thank you again for allowing Lumos & Associates to provide you with this addendum. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have questions.

RATIFICATION OF AMENDMENT TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT
AMENDMENT 2 (C-XXX-2025) TO AGREEMENT C-126-2023
The Professional Services Agreement entered into on August 1, 2023, between the City of South Lake Tahoe, a municipal corporation (“CITY”) and Lumos & Associates, (“CONSULTANT”) is hereby amended as set forth below.
Recitals
A. On August 1, 2023, the City and Consultant entered into Agreement C-126-2023, for a scope of services not to exceed $45,000 to complete the design for the Pioneer Trail Highway Safety Improvement Project, with a term ending on December 31, 2023.
B. On January 22, 2024, the parties executed Amendment 1 to the Agreement, adding $11,000 to complete additional work including utility coordination and preparation of conceptual plans, for a total amount not to exceed $56,000, and extending the term to June 30, 2024.
C. The parties inadvertently allowed the Agreement to expire but desire to ratify an extension to allow for completion of the scope of work, and to add $15,000 to complete additional work including design revisions to a retaining wall and construction assistance, for a total amount not to exceed $71,000.
Based on the foregoing recitals, the terms of the Professional Services Agreement are hereby amended to read as follows:
1. Scope of Services. In addition to the Scope of Services specified within the original Professional Services Agreement, dated August 1, 2023, this Amendment to Agreement C-126-2023 adds the work described within the letter amendment proposals from Lumos & Associates, dated February 14, 2025, and March 12, 2025, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
2. Term/Time of Performance. The services by Consultant are to commence upon the execution of this Agreement and shall continue until all authorized work is approved by City. All such work shall be completed not later than October 31st, 2025. Time is of the essence, and failure of Consultant to perform the services required by this Agreement, as amended, by October 31st, 2025 shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement as amended.
3. Compensation. Compensation to be paid to the Consultant, as defined within the original Agreement is hereby increased with this Amendment No. 2 by the sum of $15,000.00 as described within Exhibit A attached hereto. In no case shall Consultant compensation for work completed under this Agreement exceed the amended Agreement amount of $56,000.00 plus the additional fee of $15,000.00 for an amended total fee of $71,000.00 without written authorization from the City.

Agenda Item Executive Summary
Joe Irvin, City Manager
__________________________________
Meeting Date: March 25, 2025
Agenda Item #:6
Agenda Item: Purchase of Real Property at 2111-2121 Lake Tahoe Boulevard from BMO Bank N.A.
Executive Summary: The City intends to purchase this property to accommodate construction of a new Fire Station 3 to replace the current facility. The proposed Purchase and Sale Agreement is consistent with a Letter of Intent signed by the parties on August 16, 2024, after discussing the real property negotiations with BMO Bank N.A. in closed session on October 17, 2023, and April 23, 2024. The City is purchasing the property from BMO Bank N.A. at the appraised market value of $940,000. This item was pulled from the February 25 City Council meeting agenda because it was discovered that there is a 1978 California Tahoe Regional Planning Agency deed restriction on the property owned by BMO that includes land coverage and sale restrictions. Subsequently, the City and BMO met with Tahoe Regional Planning Agency staff and received assurance that the deed restriction can be lifted as part of the boundary line adjustment that will occur prior to closing.
Requested Action / Suggested Motions: Pass a Motion authorizing and directing the Mayor to execute the Purchase and Sale Agreement with BMO Bank N.A. for the purchase of approximately 73,108 square feet of real property in the amount of $940,000, and authorizing the City Manager to execute further documents take further actions necessary to implement the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

Report to City Council
Meeting Date: March 25, 2025
Title: Purchase of Real Property at 2111-2121 Lake Tahoe Boulevard from BMO Bank N.A.
Location: 2111-2121 Lake Tahoe Boulevard
Responsible Staff Members: Heather Stroud, City Attorney (530) 542-6046 Joseph Irvin, City Manager (530) 542-6000
Background: Fire Station 3 was originally built in 1957 with only minor remodels since then.
The original building was not designed as a fire station with essential services in mind. On October 19, 2021, City Council awarded a contract for design services for renovation to JK Architecture for an amount not to exceed $171,000. JK Architecture provided a condition assessment report showing that the facility does not meet current code requirements and has structural, mechanical, and electrical infrastructure issues. Additionally, the facility does not provide an adequate operational, administrative, and housing environment for the Fire Department staff and equipment.
On March 28, 2023, staff updated City Council on the renovation of Fire Station 3, and City Council directed staff to consider four options and return to City Council for additional direction.
The four options were: (A) internal renovation to improve living conditions for firefighters for an estimated cost of $500,000; (B) renovation of existing fire station to address living conditions and ADA requirements for an estimated cost of $3.5 million; (C) new 2-story fire station behind existing Fire Station 3, with demolition of existing fire station upon completion for an estimated cost of $19.25 million; and (D) new one-story fire station on the Bank of the West (now BMO Bank N.A.) property, with existing fire station to be demolished upon completion for an estimated cost of $19.75 million.
Following the March 2023 Council meeting, staff retained the services of RMM consultants, who specialize in fire station design and construction, and provided RRM with a list of requirements for a new fire station. RRM evaluated options C and D, developed schematic drawings, and estimated probable costs for each option. Staff also initiated discussions with BMO Bank N.A. (“BMO”) to inquire about purchasing the vacant property for a new fire station. BMO indicated that they would be willing to sell approximately 1.53 acres to the City for this purpose.
On September 12, 2023, City Council received a presentation from staff on the four options for replacement of Fire Station 3, with Option D being the preferred option by staff. City Council passed a motion (4-0 with Mayor Creegan absent) to direct the City Manager to begin planning to construct a new one-story fire station on the adjacent BMO site for an estimated cost of $19.75 million, $1.1 million for LEED gold certification, and a flashing beacon on US Highway 50. 193
Council Agenda Report- March 25, 2025 Page 2 of 3
City Council discussed the real property negotiations with BMO in closed session on October 17, 2023, and again on April 23, 2024. BMO provided an appraisal report from CBRE showing a market value of $940,000, which price the City Council authorized. The parties reached agreement on a Letter of Intent for the City to purchase this property on August 16, 2024, and a Purchase and Sale Agreement and related documents have been drafted for City Council approval.
Issue and Discussion: The Letter of Intent included a purchase price of $940,000 for approximately 66,253 square feet of vacant land. As part of drafting the Purchase and Sale Agreement, staff contracted for Wood Rogers to survey the property and draft legal descriptions, which has resulted in a slightly increased square footage of 73,108 square feet for the same purchase price.
The Letter of Intent also included an obligation for the City to retire 13,105 square feet of land coverage to benefit the remaining BMO property that contains the bank building. As part of the transaction, the City will process a boundary line adjustment to correct the nonconformity existing on the bank property that is caused by a property line transecting the building, so the two remaining BMO parcels will become one 80,507 square foot parcel. Because the Wood Rogers survey indicated a slightly larger remaining parcel than had been estimated, the coverage the City is retiring in the Excess Land Coverage Covenant (attached to the Purchase and Sale Agreement as Exhibit E) is increased to 15,161 square feet. The City is retiring this coverage from two parcels owned by the City where excess coverage has been banked (APN 032-151-015 and APN 032- 312-001).
Other terms from the Letter of Intent, which are included in the Purchase and Sale Agreement, are an open space easement over a 14,000 square foot strip of the property conveyed to the City to benefit the remaining BMO property (attached to the Purchase and Sale Agreement as Exhibit G), and a commitment by the City to process a new monument sign application from BMO.
Financial Implications: There are sufficient funds available in the Fire Station 3 capital project account 301-60071 for this purchase. During the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 mid-year budget, $1.5 million of Measure S funds that had previously been set aside for the Fire Station 2 project were transferred to Fire Station 3, based on City Council direction provided at its meeting on September 12, 2023. Since then, an additional $500,000 of Measure S funds have been placed in the Fire Station 3 project account, for a total of $2,000,000. Of this amount, $940,000 (plus title charges, to be determined) will be transferred into the Acquisition line item 301-60071-48040 upon council approval of this real property purchase.
Environmental Considerations:Purchasing this property is not “approval” of a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines section 15352 because it does not commit the City to a definite course of action. Furthermore, CEQA Guidelines section 15004(b)(2)(A) authorizes an agency to enter into a land acquisition agreement when the agency has conditioned its future use of the site on CEQA compliance, as is the case here. CEQA review will be conducted, if required, prior to approval of the project design for the new Fire Station 3.

4. TITLE REVIEW; INSPECTIONS AND DUE DILIGENCE; CONFIDENTIALITY.
4.1. Seller Documents. Within five (5) days following the Effective Date, Seller will deliver to Buyer true, correct, and completed copies of all material documentation and reports in Seller’s facilities group’s possession pertaining to the Property as reasonably requested by Buyer (collectively, the “Seller Documents”).

4.2. Title and Survey Review; Title Policy.
(a) Delivery of Title Report and Survey. Seller shall deliver to Buyer (i) a preliminary title report covering the Real Property (the “Title Report”), together with copies of all documents (collectively, the “Title Documents”) referenced in the Title Report, and (ii) a copy of the most recent survey of the Real Property, if any, in Seller’s facilities group’s possession (the “Survey”). Buyer, at its sole option and expense, may obtain an additional title report (or title commitment) or survey for the Real Property. Buyer understands and acknowledges that if Buyer elects to obtain any additional title report (or title commitment) or survey, the completion and/or delivery of such additional title report (or title commitment) or survey shall not be a condition precedent to the Close of Escrow. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer further acknowledges that Seller makes no representations or warranties, and Seller shall have no responsibility, with respect to the completeness of the Title Report, Title Documents, or Survey made available to Buyer. (b) Title Review and Cure. Commencing from the Effective Date and continuing through and including the Title Review Period, Buyer shall have the right to approve or disapprove the condition of title to the Real Property. On or before the expiration of the Title Review Period, Buyer shall deliver to Seller and Escrow Holder written notice (“Buyer’s Title Notice”) of Buyer’s approval or disapproval of the matters reflected in the Title Report and any additional title report (or title commitment) or survey obtained by Buyer; Buyer’s Title Notice delivered by Buyer to Seller must state that it is a “Buyer’s Title Notice being delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2(b) the Purchase and Sale Agreement.” The failure of Buyer to deliver the Buyer’s Title Notice to Seller on or before the expiration of the Title Review Period shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s approval of the condition of title to the Real Property.
If Buyer disapproves any matter of title shown in the Title Report obtained by Buyer for the Real Property, then Seller may, but shall have no obligation to, within five (5) business days after Seller’s receipt of the Buyer’s Title Notice for the Real Property (“Seller’s Election Period”), elect to eliminate or ameliorate to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction the disapproved title matters by giving Buyer written notice (“Seller’s Title Notice”) of those disapproved title matters, if any, which Seller agrees to so eliminate or ameliorate by the Closing Date. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any title exception disapproved by Buyer shall be deemed ameliorated to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction to the extent that Seller either causes such exception to be removed from the Title Policy or to be affirmatively insured over. If Seller does not elect to, or is unable to, eliminate or ameliorate any disapproved title matters, Buyer reasonably disapproves Seller’s Title 199
4 Notice, or Seller fails to timely deliver Seller’s Title Notice, then Buyer shall have the right, upon delivery to Seller and Escrow Holder (on or before five (5) days following the expiration of Seller’s Election Period) of a written notice, to either: (i) waive its prior disapproval, in which event said disapproved matters shall be deemed approved; or (ii) terminate this Agreement and the Escrow.
Failure to take either one of the actions described in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be deemed to be Buyer’s election to take the action described in clause (i) above. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in clause (ii) above, this Agreement shall immediately terminate upon receipt of written notice thereof, and the Parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement (except for any provisions which by their terms survive a termination of this Agreement), and the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer. Buyer shall have been deemed to have approved any title exception that Seller is not obligated to remove and to which either Buyer did not object as provided above, or to which Buyer did object, but with respect to which Buyer did not terminate this Agreement. In the event that Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.2(b), Buyer shall pay all escrow and title fees or similar charges of Escrow Holder and Title Company incurred in connection with the transactions described herein, which obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and Buyer hereby authorizes Escrow Holder to deduct such amounts from the Deposit.
(c) Delivery of Title Policy at Closing. As a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to proceed to the Close of Escrow, the Title Company shall have issued and delivered to Buyer, or shall have committed to issue and deliver to Buyer, with respect to the Real Property, a Standard Coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”) issued by the Title Company as of the date and time of the recording of the Deed for the Real Property in the amount of the Purchase Price insuring Buyer as owner of good, marketable, and indefeasible fee simple title to the Real Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. For purposes of this Agreement, “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean and include (i) any lien to secure payment of real estate taxes, including special assessments, not then-delinquent, (ii) all matters which could be revealed or disclosed by a physical inspection or a survey of the Real Property and matters affecting the Real Property which are created by or with the written consent of Buyer or which do not materially and deleteriously affect Buyer’s contemplated use of the Real Property, (iii) all exceptions disclosed by the Title Report relating to the Real Property and which are approved or deemed approved by Buyer in accordance with Section 4.2(b), and (iv) all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and governmental regulations (“Applicable Laws”) (including, without limitation, those relating to building, zoning and land use) affecting the development, use, occupancy or enjoyment of the Real Property.
4.3. Inspections; Due Diligence Period; Other Disclosures; Confidentiality. (a) Inspections in General. Commencing from the Effective Date and continuing through and including the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer, its agents, and employees shall have a limited license (the “License”) to enter upon the Real Property for the purpose of making non-invasive inspections at Buyer’s sole risk, cost, and expense. All of such entries upon the Real Property may not cause interference to the business operations conducted on the areas adjacent to the Real Property owned by Seller, and shall be at reasonable times during normal business hours and after at least forty eight (48) hours’ prior notice to Seller or Seller’s designated agent, and Seller or Seller’s designated agent shall have the right to accompany Buyer during any activities performed by Buyer on the Real Property. At Seller’s request, Buyer shall 200
5 provide Seller (at no cost to Seller) with a copy of the results of any tests and inspections made by Buyer, excluding only market and economic feasibility studies. If any inspection or test disturbs the Real Property, Buyer will restore the Real Property to the same condition as existed before the inspection or test. Buyer shall defend, protect, and indemnify Seller and hold Seller, Seller’s trustees, directors, officers, tenants, agents, contractors, employees and affiliated entities and the Real Property harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, claims, or liabilities, including but not limited to, mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens and Seller’s attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with Buyer’s inspection of the Real Property. Prior to Buyer or Buyer’s Representatives entering onto the Property pursuant to the License, Buyer shall maintain or cause to be maintained, at Buyer’s expense, a policy of commercial general liability insurance, with a broad form contractual liability endorsement and with a combined single limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage, automobile liability coverage including owned and hired vehicles with a combined single limit of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage, and an excess umbrella liability policy for bodily injury and property damage in the amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), insuring Buyer and Seller, as additional insureds, against any injuries or damages to persons or property that may result from or are related to (i) Buyer’s and/or Buyer’s Representatives entry upon the Property, (ii) any inspections, investigations or other activities conducted thereon, and/or (iii) any and all other activities undertaken by Buyer and/or Buyer’s Representatives, all of which insurance shall be on an “occurrence form” and otherwise in such forms acceptable to Seller and with an insurance company acceptable to Seller, and deliver a copy of a certificate of insurance naming Seller as an additional insured prior to the first entry on the Property. As used in this Agreement, “Buyer’s Representatives” shall mean Buyer’s directors, officers, employees, affiliates, partners, members, brokers, agents or other representatives, including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, contractors, consultants, engineers and financial advisors. The License shall be deemed revoked upon termination of this Agreement.
(b) Environmental Inspections. The inspections under Section 4.3(a) may include non-invasive Phase I environmental inspections of the Real Property, but no Phase II environmental inspections or other invasive inspections or sampling of soil or materials, including without limitation construction materials, either as part of the Phase I inspections or any other inspections, shall be performed without the prior written consent of Seller, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, and if consented to by Seller, the proposed scope of work and the party who will perform the work shall be subject to Seller’s review and approval. At Seller’s request, Buyer shall deliver to Seller (at no cost to Seller) copies of any Phase II or other environmental reports to which Seller consents as provided above. (c) Termination During Due Diligence Period. If Buyer determines, in its sole discretion, before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, that the Real Property is unacceptable for Buyer’s purposes, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving to Seller notice of termination (a “Termination Notice”) before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, in which event the Deposit shall be promptly refunded to Buyer in accordance with this Agreement, and, except for those provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, the Parties shall have no further obligations hereunder. If Buyer fails to deliver a Termination Notice to Seller and Escrow Holder on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Buyer shall be deemed to be satisfied with all aspects of all the 201
6 Property, including, without limitation, the condition and suitability of all of the Property for Buyer’s intended use, and Buyer shall be obligated to acquire the Property in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Buyer’s delivery of a Termination Notice to Seller with respect to the Property shall constitute Buyer’s election to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Property as provided above in this Section 4.3(c). In the event that Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.3(c), Buyer shall pay all escrow and title fees or similar charges of Escrow Holder and Title Company incurred in connection with the transactions described herein, which obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and Buyer hereby authorizes Escrow Holder to deduct such amounts from the Deposit.
4.4. Confidentiality. Prior to the Close of Escrow or in the event the Close of Escrow does not occur, all information, other than matters of public record or matters generally known to the public, furnished to, or obtained through inspection of the Real Property by, Buyer, its affiliates, lenders, employees, attorneys, accountants and other professionals or agents relating to the Real Property, will be treated by Buyer, its affiliates, lenders, employees and agents as confidential, and will not be disclosed to anyone (except as reasonably required in connection with Buyer’s evaluation of the Real Property) except to Buyer’s consultants who agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, and will be returned to Seller by Buyer if the Close of Escrow does not occur. Seller and Buyer agree not to make any public announcements with respect to the subject matter hereof without the prior written consent of the other Party. The confidentiality provisions of this Section 4.4 shall not apply to any disclosures made by Buyer or Seller as required by Applicable Law, by court order, or in connection with any subpoena served upon Buyer or Seller; provided Buyer and Seller shall provide each other with written notice before making any such disclosure to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall survive the Close of Escrow or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
5. OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS; SUBDIVISION; EXCESS LAND COVERAGE; OPEN SPACE EASEMENT; SIGNAGE.
5.1. New Contracts. Seller will not enter into any contract that will be an obligation affecting the Real Property after the Effective Date (except contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business that are terminable without cause on thirty (30) days’ notice), without the prior consent of Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. To the extent that Buyer has a right to consent to any new contract relating to the Real Property pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.1, Buyer shall be deemed to have consented to any such new contract if it has not notified Seller specifying with particularity the matters to which Buyer reasonably objects, within five (5) days after Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s written request for consent, together with a copy of the applicable contract.
5.2. Condemnation or Damage.
(a) Condemnation. Subject to the terms of this Section 5.2, risk of loss resulting from any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding which is commenced or has been threatened against the Real Property before the Close of Escrow shall remain with Seller. If, before the Close of Escrow, the Real Property or any “material portion” thereof shall be subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation or shall become the subject of any proceedings, judicial, 202
7 administrative or otherwise, with respect to the taking by eminent domain or condemnation, then Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice of such election to Seller within five (5) days after Seller provides written notice to Buyer of the material taking, in which event Buyer shall no longer be obligated to purchase, and Seller shall no longer be obligated to sell, the Real Property. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.2(a), the Parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement (except for any provisions which by their terms survive a termination of this Agreement), and the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer. If the Closing Date is within the five (5) day period referenced above, then the Close of Escrow shall be extended to the next business day following the end of such five (5) day period. If Buyer does not timely deliver such notice of termination, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, the purchase contemplated herein, less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation, shall be effected with no further adjustment, and upon the Close of Escrow, Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to Buyer all of the right, title and interest of Seller in and to any awards that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking. For purposes of this Section 5.2(a), the phrase “material portion” means a portion of the Real Property that is at least ten percent (10%) of the total square footage of the Real Property. (b) Damage. Seller shall promptly notify Buyer (the “Damage Notice”) of any material damage to all or substantially all of the Real Property (including due to fire, flood, infestation, degradation of vegetation, or any other cause) that occurs prior to the Close of Escrow.
If any such material damage to the Property would materially and adversely affect Buyer’s intended use of the Property after the Closing Date and would require Buyer to incur significant restoration or repair costs in order to bring the Property into a condition substantially similar to the condition in which the Property exists on the Effective Date, then, within five (5) Business Days after Buyer’s receipt of the Damage Notice, Buyer may notify Seller (the “Negotiation Notice”) of its desire to negotiate in good faith with Seller regarding a potential modification to the Purchase Price on account of such material damage. If Buyer timely delivers the Negotiation Notice to Seller, then for a period of five (5) Business Days thereafter, the Parties will negotiate in good faith a potential modification to the Purchase Price on account of such material damage. If the then-applicable Closing Date is scheduled to occur prior to the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period, then the Closing Date will be automatically extended to occur on the first Business Day following the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period. If for any reason the Parties are unable to mutually agree upon a modification to the Purchase Price within such five (5) Business Day period, then within two (2) Business Days after the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period, Buyer may, at its option, elect to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice thereof to Seller, in which event Buyer shall no longer be obligated to purchase, and Seller shall no longer be obligated to sell, the Real Property, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer, and except as otherwise provided herein no Party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder. If Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement within the two (2) Business Day period described above, Buyer will be deemed to have conclusively elected to not terminate this Agreement, and the Close of Escrow will occur on the then-applicable Closing Date in accordance with this Agreement.
5.3. Boundary Line Adjustment of Real Property. As of the Effective Date, the Real Property constitutes an undivided portion of a larger area of real property owned by Seller. As a condition precedent to Seller’s obligation to proceed to the Close of Escrow, Buyer, at its sole cost and expense, shall work collaboratively and in good faith with Seller and the Title Company to 203
8 process, and effectuate as part of the Close of Escrow, a boundary line adjustment of the Real Property with the larger area of real property owned by Seller to be retained by Seller following the boundary line adjustment of the Real Property, which consists of 80,507 square feet and is described on Exhibit B (the “Seller Retained Land”) in conformance with all Applicable Laws and subject to Seller’s reasonable satisfaction (collectively, the “Boundary Line Adjustment”).
If, as of the Closing Date, the Boundary Line Adjustment has not been approved in conformance with all Applicable Laws and to Seller’s reasonable satisfaction such that the Real Property is able to be conveyed to Buyer as part of the Close of Escrow, then such occurrence will be deemed to be an unsatisfied condition to Seller’s obligation to proceed to the Close of Escrow, Seller will be permitted to terminate this Agreement, and the provisions of Section 9.3 will apply.
5.4. Excess Land Coverage. In consideration of Seller entering into this Agreement and as an inducement to Seller to sell the Real Property to Buyer, Buyer has agreed to retire 15,161 square feet of land coverage for the benefit of the Seller Retained Land to be used, in whole or in part, in connection with any project on the Seller Retained Land that requires land coverage to be mitigated in accordance with Applicable Laws. As a condition precedent to Seller’s obligation to proceed to the Close of Escrow, Buyer, at its sole cost and expense, shall record on title for the benefit of the Seller Retained Land the land mitigation described in this Section 5.4, which will be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Excess Land Coverage Covenant”). Buyer represents and warrants that the Excess Land Coverage Covenant, upon its recordation on title for the benefit of the Seller Retained Land in connection with the Close of Escrow, will be satisfactory evidence of such mitigation under Applicable Laws, and will entitle Seller to take advantage of and apply such mitigation without the requirement to obtain any consents or approvals from any governmental authority or to purchase any mitigation from any person or entity. The representation and warranty set forth in the immediately preceding sentence will survive the Close of Escrow.
5.5. Open Space Easement. In consideration of Seller entering into this Agreement and as an inducement to Seller to sell the Real Property to Buyer, Buyer has agreed to enter into, and as a condition precedent to Seller’s obligation to proceed to the Close of Escrow, shall record on title for the Real Property in connection with the Close of Escrow an open space easement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “Open Space Easement”), which, among other things, memorializes Buyer’s obligation to maintain, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, an approximately fourteen thousand (14,000) square feet area on the Real Property adjacent to the Seller Retained Land identified in the Open Space Easement as open green space in perpetuity in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Open Space Easement.
5.6. Signage. In consideration of Seller entering into this Agreement and as an inducement to Seller to sell the Real Property to Buyer, Buyer agrees to timely process an application from Seller for the construction of a new monument sign in a location consistent with the requirements of South Lake Tahoe City Code section 6.40.360 (the “New Monument Sign”).
All details of the New Monument Sign will be determined by Seller (e.g., size, specific location, content to be displayed, etc.), but will be subject to the prior approval of Buyer in accordance with Applicable Laws. All costs and expenses in connection with the design, construction, and installation of the New Monument Sign will be the responsibility of Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, all signage serving the Seller Retained Land in existence as of the Effective Date (including, specifically, the monument sign adjacent to the Seller Retained Land on Lake Tahoe Boulevard) will be permitted to remain after the Close of Escrow. Seller agrees to relinquish any signage rights 204
9 related to the Real Property as part of the Close of Escrow (the “Real Property Signage Rights”).
If, as of the Closing Date, final approval for the construction of the New Monument Sign has not been obtained, then such occurrence will be deemed to be an unsatisfied condition to Seller’s obligation to proceed to the Close of Escrow, Seller will be permitted to terminate this Agreement, and the provisions of Section 9.3 will apply.
6. SELLER’S AND BUYER’S DELIVERIES.
6.1. Seller’s Deliveries into Escrow. No less than one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver into Escrow to the Escrow Holder the following:
(a) Deed. A grant deed in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Deed”), executed and acknowledged by Seller, conveying Seller’s title to the Real Property to the Buyer. (b) Open Space Easement. Two (2) originals of the Open Space Easement executed by Seller.

BUYER, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND THE OTHER RELEASORS, HEREBY
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS READ AND IS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 (“SECTION 1542”), WHICH IS SET FORTH BELOW:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE
CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR
AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR
HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”
BUYER, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND THE OTHER RELEASORS, HEREBY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 1542 SOLELY IN CONNECTION WITH THE
MATTERS WHICH ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE FOREGOING WAIVERS AND RELEASES.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, BUYER, ON
BEHALF OF ITSELF AND THE OTHER RELEASORS, HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISK AND
LIABILITY RESULTING OR ARISING FROM, OR RELATING TO THE OWNERSHIP, USE,

THE FOREGOING WAIVERS, RELEASES AND AGREEMENTS BY BUYER, ON
BEHALF OF ITSELF AND THE OTHER RELEASORS, SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSE OF
ESCROW AND THE RECORDATION OF THE DEED AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED MERGED INTO THE DEED UPON ITS RECORDATION.
11.3. ERISA. Buyer is not purchasing any of the Property with “plan assets” of an Employee Benefit Plan subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (as amended from time to time, the “Act,” and together with any regulation, rule or judicial or administrative case, order, or pronouncement arising under or connected with the Act, “ERISA”) or of a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Buyer shall take all actions reasonably requested by Seller for the purpose of ensuring, to Seller’s satisfaction, that the transactions contemplated herein will comply with ERISA and not result in an imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code; such actions shall include, without limitation, the making of such further representations and warranties as Seller’s counsel reasonably deems necessary to ensure that neither this Agreement nor any of the transactions contemplated herein will violate ERISA or result in an imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code. In the event that this Agreement, or any transaction or other action by Seller in connection herewith, shall be deemed to violate ERISA or result in an imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code, Seller may immediately terminate this Agreement (without any liability to Seller) in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Section 9.3 as if such termination arose from a failed condition under Section 9.3. 213
18 11.4. Terrorism Laws. Neither Buyer nor any of its affiliates, nor any of their respective partners, members, shareholders or other equity owners, and their respective employees, officers, directors, representatives or agents, is a person or entity described by Section 1 of the Executive Order (No. 13,224) Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism, 66 Fed. Reg. 49,079 (September 24, 2001), or engages in any dealings or transactions, and is not otherwise associated, with any such persons or entities or any Forbidden Entity (as hereafter defined). A “Forbidden Entity” is defined as (a) the governments of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Myanmar, Syria and Sudan (each, a “Prohibited Country”) and any of their agencies, including but not limited to political units and subdivisions (each, a “Prohibited Government”); (b) any company that (i) is wholly or partially managed or controlled by a Prohibited Government, (ii) is established, organized under, or whose principal place of business is in any Prohibited Country, (iii) has failed to submit an affidavit following request therefor averring that it does not own or control any property or asset in and has not and does not transact business with any Prohibited Country; and (iv) any publicly traded company identified by an independent researcher specializing in global security as (A) owning or controlling property or assets or having employees or facilities located in, (B) providing goods or services to or obtaining goods or services from, (C) having distribution agreements with, issuing credits or loans to or purchasing bonds or commercial paper issued by, or (D) investing in any Prohibited Country or any company domiciled in any Prohibited Country.

12. DEFAULT AND DAMAGES.
12.1. DEFAULT BY BUYER. BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE
AND AGREE THAT, IN THE EVENT THE CLOSE OF ESCROW FAILS TO OCCUR DUE
TO A BUYER DEFAULT, SELLER WILL SUFFER DAMAGES IN AN AMOUNT WHICH
WILL, DUE TO THE SPECIAL NATURE OF THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE SPECIAL NATURE OF THE NEGOTIATIONS WHICH
PRECEDED THIS AGREEMENT, BE IMPRACTICAL OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN. IN ADDITION, BUYER WISHES TO HAVE A LIMITATION PLACED UPON
THE POTENTIAL LIABILITY OF BUYER TO SELLER IN THE EVENT THE CLOSE OF
ESCROW FAILS TO OCCUR DUE TO A BUYER DEFAULT, AND WISHES TO INDUCE
SELLER TO WAIVE OTHER REMEDIES WHICH SELLER MAY HAVE IN THE EVENT OF A BUYER DEFAULT. BUYER AND SELLER, AFTER REASONABLE ENDEAVORS AND
DUE NEGOTIATION, HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE AMOUNT OF
DAMAGES TO BE INCURRED BY SELLER IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY BUYER
ARE DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE AND AS SUCH THE
AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE
DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WILL SUSTAIN IN THE EVENT OF SUCH BUYER DEFAULT. BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY AGREE THAT SELLER MAY, IN THE EVENT
THE CLOSE OF ESCROW FAILS TO OCCUR DUE TO A BUYER DEFAULT, TERMINATE
THIS AGREEMENT BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO BUYER AND ESCROW HOLDER,
CANCEL THE ESCROW AND RECEIVE OR RETAIN (IF SELLER ALREADY HOLDS THE 214
19 DEPOSIT) THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND ESCROW HOLDER SHALL
IMMEDIATELY DELIVER (UNLESS IT HAS ALREADY DONE SO) THE DEPOSIT TO SELLER. SUCH RETENTION OF THE DEPOSIT BY SELLER IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 3275 OR SECTION 3369 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, OR ANY SIMILAR PROVISION.
NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 12.1 SHALL IMPAIR OR LIMIT THE
EFFECTIVENESS OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF BUYER CONTAINED IN SECTIONS 4.3(A) AND 13. SELLER AND BUYER
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 12.1 AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS.
12.2. Default by Seller. If (a) Seller fails to complete the sale of the Property in accordance with this Agreement at the Close of Escrow (with all of the conditions to Seller’s obligations to close having been satisfied or waived), or (b) there is a material breach or material default by Seller in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement that is not cured by Seller within five (5) business days after the delivery of written notice thereof from Buyer to Seller, then in either case, Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive the return by the Escrow Holder to Buyer of the Deposit. Buyer hereby expressly waives the right to any additional rights or remedies on account of the occurrences described in clauses (a) and (b) above, to the greatest extent permitted by Applicable Law. This Agreement confers no present right, title, or interest in the Property to Buyer and Buyer agrees not to file a lis pendens or other similar notice against the Real Property.
13. BROKERS’ COMMISSIONS.
Except for, CBRE, Inc., Seller’s broker, who may become entitled to a commission upon the Close of Escrow pursuant to separate agreements, neither Party has had any contact or dealing regarding the Real Property, or any communication in connection with the subject matter of this transaction, through any licensed real estate broker or other person who can claim a right to a commission or finder’s fee as a procuring cause of the sale contemplated herein. In the event that any other broker or finder perfects a claim for a commission or finder’s fee, the Party responsible for the contact or communication on which the broker or finder perfected such claim shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the other Party from said claim and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the other Party in defending against the same.
The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive the Close of Escrow or the earlier termination of this Agreement. Seller will advise Escrow Holder as to the portion of the broker commissions, if any, that are to be deducted from the Purchase Price payable to Seller at the Close of Escrow.
14. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
14.1. Notices. All written notices or demands of any kind which either Party may be required or may desire to serve on the other Party in connection with this Agreement shall be (a) served by personal service, (b) sent by registered or certified mail, (c) sent by recognized overnight courier service, or (d) sent by electronic mail.

14.2. Assignment; Binding on Successors and Assigns. Buyer shall not assign, transfer, or convey its rights or obligations under this Agreement or with respect to the Property without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent Seller may withhold in its sole and absolute 216
21 discretion. Any attempted assignment without the prior written consent of Seller shall be void and Buyer shall be deemed in default hereunder. Any permitted assignment shall not relieve Buyer from its liability under this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, and except as provided to the contrary herein, the terms, covenants, conditions and warranties contained herein and the powers granted hereby shall inure to the benefit of and bind all Parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns, and all subsequent owners of the Property.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 14.2 to the contrary, Buyer shall have the right, without Seller’s prior written approval but upon prior written notice to Seller, to assign this Agreement to an affiliate entity of Buyer wholly owned and controlled by Buyer. In the event of a permitted assignment pursuant to the preceding sentence, the permitted assignee shall assume in writing all of Buyer’s obligations hereunder pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement in form and content acceptable to Seller, Seller shall receive an original of such assignment and assumption agreement signed by Buyer and the permitted assignee, and Buyer shall remain liable jointly and severally with the permitted assignee for all obligations and indemnifications hereunder notwithstanding such assignment.
14.3. Further Assurances. In addition to the acts and deeds recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed or delivered by Seller or Buyer, Seller and Buyer hereby agree to perform, execute and deliver, or cause to be performed, executed and delivered, on the Closing Date or thereafter any and all such further acts, deeds and assurances as Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, may reasonably require in order to consummate fully the transactions contemplated hereunder.

Except as otherwise expressly set forth or limited herein, the covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement shall not survive the Close of Escrow or the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the indemnification provisions of Section 4.3(a) (Inspections in General) and Section 13 (Brokers’ Commissions); (ii) the provisions of Section 4.4 (Confidentiality), Section 10 (As-Is Condition), Section 11.2 (Release), Section 11.3 (ERISA), Section 11.4 (Terrorism Laws), Section 12.1 (Default by Buyer), Section 12.2 (Default by Seller), Section 14.7 (Governing Law), Section 14.15 (Procedure for Indemnity), Section 14.17 (Dispute Resolution; Waiver of Jury Trial), Section 14.18 (No Personal Liability), Section 14.20 (No Recordation), and Section 14.21 (Waiver of Defenses); and (iii) Buyer’s obligation to pay all escrow and title fees or similar charges of Escrow Holder and Title Company incurred in connection with the transactions described herein as set forth in Section 4.2(b) (Title Review and Cure) and Section 4.3(c) (Termination During Due Diligence Period), along with any other terms or conditions which expressly or by their nature are intended to survive the termination of this Agreement or the Close of Escrow, shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the Close of Escrow without limitation, and shall not be merged with the recording of the Deed.
14.6. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties in respect to the subject matter hereof, and the Parties intend for the literal words of this Agreement to govern and for all prior negotiations, drafts, and other extrinsic communications, whether oral or written, to have no significance or evidentiary effect. The Parties further intend that neither this Agreement nor any of its provisions may be changed, amended, 217
22 discharged, waived, or otherwise modified except only by an instrument in writing duly executed by the Parties. The Parties fully understand and acknowledge the importance of the foregoing sentence and are aware that Applicable Laws may permit subsequent oral modification of a contract notwithstanding contract language which requires that any such modification be in writing; but Buyer and Seller fully and expressly intend that the foregoing requirements as to a writing be strictly adhered to and strictly interpreted and enforced by any court which may be asked to decide the question. Each Party acknowledges that this Agreement accurately reflects the agreements and understandings of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and hereby waive any claim against the other Party which such Party may now have or may hereafter acquire to the effect that the actual agreements and understandings of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof may not be accurately set forth in this Agreement.
14.7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions or the conflicts-of-laws provisions of any other jurisdiction.
14.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more copies or counterparts, each of which when signed shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one Agreement. This Agreement may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures (including manually executed paper documents that are sent by facsimile, .pdf, or other electronic means), which shall be considered an original and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as an original paper record. For purposes hereof, each of the terms “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” has the respective meaning assigned to it in 15 USC §7006 (as the same may be amended from time to time).
14.9. Headings; Construction. The various headings of this Agreement are included for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof. When the context and construction so require, all words used in the singular herein shall be deemed to have been used in the plural and the masculine shall include the feminine and the neuter and vice versa. The use in this Agreement of the term “including” and related terms such as “include” shall in all cases mean “without limitation.” All references to “days” in this Agreement shall be construed to mean calendar days unless otherwise expressly provided and all references to “business days” shall be construed to mean days on which California state chartered banks are open for business.
14.10. Time of Essence. Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that time is strictly of the essence with respect to each and every term, condition, obligation, and provision hereof.
14.11. Partial Validity; Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each such term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.
14.12. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive 218
23 benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and no third party is intended to, or shall have, any rights hereunder.
14.13. Joint Product of Parties. This Agreement is the result of arms-length negotiations between Seller and Buyer and their respective attorneys. Accordingly, neither Party shall be deemed to be the author of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not be construed accordingly against either Party.
14.14. Calculation of Time Periods. Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time described herein, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included at, unless such last day is a Saturday, Sunday, or a national legal holiday, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the last day of any period of time described herein shall be deemed to end at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time.
14.15. Procedure for Indemnity. The following provisions govern actions for indemnity under this Agreement. Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee of notice of any claim for which the indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnitee may deliver to the indemnitor written notice thereof and, promptly after the receipt of such written notice, the indemnitor will assume the defense of such claim. The failure of indemnitee to deliver written notice to the indemnitor within a reasonable time after indemnitee receives notice of any such claim shall relieve such indemnitor of any liability to the indemnitee under this indemnity only if and to the extent that such failure is prejudicial to its ability to defend such action. If the indemnitor does not promptly assume the defense of the applicable claim, the indemnitee may settle or compromise such claim on such terms as the indemnitee may reasonably deem appropriate, and the indemnitor will reimburse the indemnitee for the cost of such settlement, including attorneys’ fees. The indemnitee shall have the right to participate in such claim at its sole cost and expense.
An indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnitor, if the indemnitee reasonably believes that representation of such indemnitee by the counsel retained by the indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. If an indemnitee settles a claim without the prior written consent of the indemnitor, then the indemnitor shall be released from liability with respect to such claim unless the indemnitor has unreasonably withheld such consent.
14.16. Waiver of CC Section 1662. Seller and Buyer each expressly waive the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1662 and hereby agree that the provisions of Section 5.2 shall govern their obligations in the event of damage or destruction to the Real Property or condemnation of all or part of the Real Property
14.17. Dispute Resolution. If there is any dispute related to or arising out of this Agreement or the interpretation of the terms of this Agreement (a “Dispute”), the Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by informal negotiation for a period of not less than thirty (30) days. If, after thirty (30) days of good-faith informal negotiations, the Parties have been unable to resolve the Dispute, then either Party may submit such Dispute to nonbinding confidential mediation for a period of not less than thirty (30) days by providing written notice 219
24 thereof to the other Party (the “Mediation Notice”). If the Parties cannot agree on a mediator within ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of a Mediation Notice, then, at the written request of either Party, the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (or any other entity mutually agreed upon by the Parties) will designate the mediator. If, after thirty (30) days of nonbinding confidential mediation, the Parties have been unable to resolve the Dispute, the Parties agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts located in El Dorado County, California for the resolution of such Dispute. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby knowingly and voluntarily waives any rights to a trial by jury in any Dispute or any other matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered in connection with this Agreement or the relationship of the Parties under this Agreement.
14.18. No Personal Liability. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary herein, Seller’s liability under this Agreement shall be limited to Seller’s interest in the Property. Neither Seller, Buyer, Seller’s or Buyer’s constituent partners, Seller’s or Buyer’s asset manager, nor Seller’s or Buyer’s directors, employees or agents shall have any personal liability hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event will a Party be liable to the other Party for any consequential, special, indirect, incidental, punitive, exemplary, or similar damages (e.g., damages for loss of use, business, or profit), unless, and then solely to the extent, such damages are required to be paid to a third party with respect to a third-party claim.
14.19. Reporting Person. Buyer and Seller hereby designate Title Company as the “reporting person” pursuant to the provisions of Section 6045(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
14.20. No Recordation. Without the prior written consent of Seller, there shall be no recordation of either this Agreement or any memorandum hereof, or any affidavit pertaining hereto, and any such recordation of this Agreement or memorandum hereof by Buyer without the prior written consent of Seller shall constitute a default hereunder by Buyer, whereupon this Agreement shall, at the option of Seller, terminate and be of no further force and effect and the Deposit hereunder shall be immediately delivered to Seller, whereupon the Parties shall have no further duties or obligations one to the other, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
Notwithstanding any such termination, Buyer shall be obligated to execute an instrument in recordable form releasing this Agreement, and Buyer’s obligations pursuant to this Section 14.20 shall survive any termination of this Agreement as a surviving obligation.
14.21. Waiver of Defenses. By execution of this Agreement, Buyer expressly waives or abrogates, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any defense to any legal action that may be brought by Seller in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based on sovereign immunity or any similar or related defense.
14.22. Drafts Not an Offer to Enter into a Legally Binding Contract. The Parties agree that the submission of a draft of this Agreement by one Party to another is not intended by either Party to be an offer to enter into a legally binding contract with respect to the purchase and sale of the Property. The Parties shall be legally bound with respect to the purchase and sale of the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement only if and when both Seller and Buyer have fully executed and delivered to each other a counterpart of this Agreement. 220

THIS SPACE ABOVE FOR RECORDER’S USE
OPEN SPACE EASEMENT AGREEMENT
This OPEN SPACE EASEMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into on _____________________, 2025 (the “Effective Date”) by and between (a) BMO BANK N.A., a national banking association, successor-in-interest to BANK OF THE WEST, a California banking corporation (“BMO”) and (b) the CITY OF SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, a California municipal corporation (“City”). BMO and City are each referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
A. BMO and City have entered into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instructions between BMO, as seller, and City, as buyer dated as of _______________, 2025 (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, a boundary line adjustment will be processed which will result in BMO owning an approximately 80,507 square foot parcel of real property described on Exhibit A (the “BMO Parcel”) and City owning an approximately 50,536 square foot parcel of real property described on Exhibit B (the “City Parcel”).
B. As material inducement for BMO to enter into the Purchase Agreement, City has agreed to grant to BMO, and BMO has agreed to receive, at Closing under the Purchase Agreement a perpetual, exclusive open space easement over an approximately 14,000 square foot portion of the City Parcel described on Exhibit C (the “Easement Area”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and of the conditions, terms, covenants, and agreements set forth herein and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Grant of Easement. City, as grantor, hereby grants to BMO, as grantee, a perpetual, exclusive open space easement in, upon, over, under, and through the Easement Area in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (the “Open Space Easement”). The Open Space Easement burdens the City Parcel for the benefit of the BMO Parcel and runs with the land. The Easement Area may not be modified or relocated without the prior written consent of both Parties, which may be withheld by either Party in its sole and absolute discretion. 247
-2-
2. Restrictions Applicable to Easement Area. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Easement Area may not be used for any purpose other than as natural open space.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the following uses or activities are permitted in, upon, over, under, or through the Easement Area at any time: construction of any aboveground structures or improvements or cutting of vegetation other than as may be necessary for fire prevention, thinning, elimination of diseased growth, or removal of invasive or non-native species. The general public will not have a right of entry into, or any right to use, enjoy, or occupy, the Easement Area.
3. Applicable Laws; Emergencies. Nothing in this Agreement prevents either Party from taking any action that is necessary or required to comply with any applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and governmental regulations (“Applicable Laws”), or that may be reasonably necessary in the event or an emergency or an unsafe or dangerous condition.
4. Maintenance and Repair of Easement Area. City is solely responsible at City’s sole cost and expense for all maintenance and repair of the Easement Area, including the costs of establishing, maintaining, and replacing vegetation and plant life within the Easement Area as may be permitted under this Agreement and of repairing any damage to, and restoring the Easement Area to its prior condition after, any casualty or other damage to the Easement Area.
5. BMO’s Remedies. If BMO determines that a violation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement has occurred or is threatened, BMO may provide written notice thereof to City and demand corrective action sufficient to cure (or prevent the occurrence) of the violation. If City fails to cure (or prevent the occurrence of) the violation within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from BMO, then BMO may do one or more of the following: (a) bring an action at law or in equity to enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (b) seek to recover all damages and other sums available at law or in equity, (c) exercise any other right or remedy available at law or in equity, or (d) require that City restore the Easement Area to substantially the same condition that existed prior to any such violation at City’s sole cost and expense. City acknowledges and agrees that BMO’s remedies at law for any violation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be inadequate and that BMO will be entitled to the injunctive relief described in this Section 5, in addition to any other relief to which BMO may be entitled.
6. Covenants Running with the Land. City and BMO acknowledge and agree that the Open Space Easement and other rights conferred by this Agreement are intended to, and do, constitute covenants that run with the land and will inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Parties and their respective grantees, successors, and assigns. Any person or entity who owns or acquires any right, title, or interest in or to any portion of the City Parcel or the BMO Parcel will conclusively be deemed to have consented to and agreed to abide by the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
7. Miscellaneous.
(a) Recordation. Within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, City will cause this Agreement to be recorded in the Official Records of El Dorado County, California at City’s sole cost and expense.
248
-3-
(b) Rule Against Perpetuities. The Open Space Easement and all other interests granted or reserved in this Agreement are present interests fully vesting on the Effective Date. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the rule against perpetuities applies to any interest created by this Agreement, then each affected interest must vest, if at all, upon the later of no later than twentyone (21) years after the death of the last survivor of all individuals alive on the Effective Date. (c) No Public Dedication. Nothing set forth in this Agreement will be construed or deemed to confer on the general public any rights whatsoever with respect to the Open Space Easement or the Easement Area.
(d) No Merger. It is the intention of the Parties that, that, notwithstanding the fact that the fee simple interests in the City Parcel and the BMO Parcel might in the future be owned by the same person or entity, the Open Space Easement created by this Agreement will not merge into the fee simple interest, but will continue to burden the City Parcel and the BMO Parcel, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
(e) Notices. All written notices or demands of any kind which either Party may be required or may desire to serve on the other Party in connection with this Agreement shall be (i) served by personal service, (ii) sent by registered or certified mail, (iii) sent by recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) sent by electronic mail.

(f) Dispute Resolution. If there is any dispute related to or arising out of this Agreement or the interpretation of the terms of this Agreement (a “Dispute”), the Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by informal negotiation for a period of not less than thirty (30) days. If, after thirty (30) days of good-faith informal negotiations, the Parties have been unable to resolve the Dispute, then either Party may submit such Dispute to nonbinding confidential mediation for a period of not less than thirty (30) days by providing written notice thereof to the other Party (the “Mediation Notice”). If the Parties cannot agree on a mediator within ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of a Mediation Notice, then, at the written request of either Party, the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (or any such other entity mutually agreed upon by the Parties) will designate the mediator. If, after thirty (30) days of nonbinding confidential mediation, the Parties have been unable to resolve the Dispute, the Parties agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts located in El Dorado County, California for the resolution of such Dispute. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby knowingly and voluntarily waives any rights to a trial by jury in any Dispute or any other matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered in connection with this Agreement or the relationship of the Parties under this Agreement.
(g) Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement constitutes the full and complete agreement and understanding between the Parties and shall supersede all prior communications, representations, understandings, or agreements, if any, whether oral or written, concerning the subject matter contained in this Agreement, as so amended, and no provision of this Agreement, as so amended, may be modified, amended, waived or discharged, in whole or in part, except by a written instrument executed by the Parties.
(h) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions or the conflicts-of-laws provisions of any other jurisdiction.

-5-
be executed using Electronic Signatures (including manually executed paper documents that are sent by facsimile, .pdf, or other electronic means), which shall be considered an original and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as an original paper record. For purposes hereof, each of the terms “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” has the respective meaning assigned to it in 15 USC §7006 (as the same may be amended from time to time). (j) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding on, and inure to the benefit of, any successor, assign, or transferee of the Parties, including any subsequent owner of the City Parcel or the BMO Parcel, with the same force and effect as if they were in every case named in this Agreement.
(k) Partial Validity; Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each such term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law. (l) Waiver of Defenses. By execution of this Agreement, City expressly waives or abrogates, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any defense to any legal action that may be brought by City in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based on sovereign immunity.

(n) Authority. Each Party represents and warrants that it has the authority to execute this Agreement, and each individual signing on behalf of a Party states that: (i) they are the duly authorized representative of that Party; and (ii) their signature on this Agreement has been duly authorized by, and creates the binding and enforceable obligation of, the Party on whose behalf the individual is signing.
