While these matters are pending and for 12 months after a decision has been made, a Council Member may not accept, solicit, or direct campaign contributions of more than $500 from parties/participants who have a financial interest in the proceedings, or their respective agents. In addition, a Council Member who has received such a contribution may be required to disclose the contribution and recuse themselves from consideration of an agenda item. This summary of the Levine Act does not constitute legal advice. Council members who need to recuse themselves from an agenda item may provide notice at any time during the Council meeting before consideration of the item.

NOTICE REGARDING PROPOSED RATE INCREASES TO SOLID WASTE

SERVICES
The City of Stanton has an exclusive franchise with CR&R, Inc. (“CR&R”) for the collection, disposal, recycling, and processing of solid waste, green waste, food scrap waste, and recycling within the City. CR&R is proposing to increase the rates it charges for the collection and handling of solid waste within the City to account for annual inflationary rate increases and increased landfill tipping fees imposed by OC Waste & Recycling.

The franchise agreement establishes a process for adjusting the rates that CR&R charges ratepayers in the City for the solid waste services it provides. The agreement provides that the rates that CR&R charges shall be adjusted each year for inflationary increases. Consequently, the solid waste fees are proposed to be adjusted based on the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim metropolitan area beginning September 1, 2027, and each September 1 thereafter through and including September 1, 2030. However, the City’s franchise agreement with CR&R ensures that such CPI increases shall not exceed the median of rates for similar services in 13 nearby North County cities.

The franchise agreement also provides that the rates charged by CR&R may be adjusted for other extraordinary costs, including extraordinary changes in the tipping fee charged by a landfill owned or operated by the County of Orange.

Beginning in July 2026, OC Waste & Recycling will begin an 85% increase in landfill tipping fees phased in over a 3-year period. The current tipping fee of $43.76 per ton will be increased to $67.00 per ton effective July 1, 2026. Thereafter, the tipping fee will increase to $74.00 per ton on July 1, 2027, and then to $81.00 per ton on July 1, 2028. As such, the solid waste fees are proposed to be adjusted to pass through the increase in tipping fees. Further, each September 1 thereafter, through and including September 1, 2030, the then-current solid waste service fees are proposed to be adjusted annually based on the City’s agreement with the County of Orange for CPI adjustments. 60% of the increase shall be comprised of the CPI published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for all Urban Consumers: Water and Sewer and Trash Collection Services in U.S. City Average (CUSR0000EHG). The remaining 40% of the increase shall be comprised of the CPI for All Urban Consumers, not seasonally adjusted, all items index – all items in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim (CUURS49ASA0).

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

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

OVERVIEW OF INVENTORY PROGRAM
Over the past ten years Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. has been developing and maintaining a web based tree inventory program to assist you in the efficient management of your trees. The program utilizes a GIS Geographic Information System) component that provides the user with a visual representation of the trees in the field. The program was developed by an ISA Certified Arborist with over ten years experience in the tree inventory industry.

TrimIt' s offers 24 hour online
access to your tree inventory
database. Its intuitive design
will make the user will feel right
at home with its web -based
interface. The database allows
the user to query the data on a
variety of fields and conditions
that is designed for the tree
professional not the computer
programmer. The following
functions will allow the user to:

View your Job Calendar • Track upcoming Work Orders • Browse Tree Inventory Create Work Requests • Review Invoicing • Add Media & Notes

INTERACTIVE , TOR CALENDAR
Time management is paramount in any professional operation and it is a resource that we rely on the successfully manage each of our contracts. Our interactive calendar provides up- to- date project schedules for all recommended maintenance cycles. In addition, each calendar item is a live hot link that can instantly navigate you up from a GPS map of all trees being trimmed by scheduled grid, or down to a single inventory detail of any tree being trimmed.

WORK REQUE, STS
TrimlT will optimize the time spent on tree management.

All trees are inventoried including the species, dbh, height, condition and maintenance costs. An area on the map can highlighted and the maintenance cost can automatically be calculated. You can then create a work request by viewing a map and highlighting the desired trees, TrimIT will print a work list and a map ofthe locations for an outside contractor or in- house crew.

WORK ORDERS

INVOICING / WORK HISTORY
TrimIT dynamically creates, stores & tracks invoices, proposals, contact information & inventory of all the properties that Great Scott services. In addition to accounting; Quickbooks, a line of business accounting software is used to manage the customer' s balances. The most difficult task for the person responsible for tree care is maintaining accurate work history records. TrimIT will give you the ability to maintain work history on each individual tree. The work history includes, the date work was performed, the type of work and the total cost. The true challenge in tree management is locating trees in an open space environment. Trees in a golf course, park, apartment complex, school ground, etc. are difficult to identify using a standard tabular database program. By applying the mapping component to the database the functionality increases exponentially.

TREE INVENTORY
TrimIT is compatible with all
known inventory databases and has
the ability to provide accurate field -
verified inventory updates for all
trees serviced. The tree inventory
data shall conform to the existing
tree inventory database and include
but not be limited to the following
data fields: Tree Species, Location,
Trunk Size ( dbh), Height, Canopy
Spread, Recommended Maintenance
Cycles, Work History, Condition,
Removal Priority, Presence of
Utilities, and Maintenance Cost.

GPS MAPPING
Time is the most valuable resource for any professional. TrimIT will optimize the time spent on tree management. Our mapping feature will eliminate the need for site visits. Each and every tree is assigned a unique serialized identification code with is goe- referenced using latitudinal and longitudinal data which provides a digital mapping network with pinpoint accuracy.

INTRODUCTION - Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. is a full- service operation equipped and qualified to provide you with the best solutions for all of your tree maintenance needs. GSTS will deliver a level of quality that meets or exceeds the International Society of Arboriculture ( ISA) standards. We are dedicated to providing tree services that results in a neat, clean and attractive appearance to trees and associated sites serviced. Below is an overview of the most common tree maintenance services that we can provide.

TREE PRUNING is performed when conditions within the crown of a hardwood tree are such that the entire tree needs to be fully pruned. Complete pruning is recommended when the primary objective is to maintain or improve tree health and structure, and includes pruning to reduce overall canopy mass and excessive wood weight. A Full Prune typically consists of one or more of the following pruning treatments:

Crown Cleaning or cleaning out is the removal of dead, diseased, crowded, weakly attached and low - vigor branches and water sprouts from the entirety of the tree crown.

Crown Reduction is used to reduce the height and/ or spread of a tree. Crown reduction varies from topping, a destructive practice, in that cuts are not made indiscriminately, resulting in large stubbed off limbs that are subject to decay.

Crown Restoration is corrective pruning used as a means to restore the form of crowns that have been previously damaged by extenuating circumstances. This treatment is best performed by tree workers who have a good understanding of the effects of pruning for the cultivation of tree canopies.

Crown Thinning includes crown cleaning and the selective removal of branches to increase light penetration and air movement into and through the crown. Increased light and air stimulates and maintains interior foliage, which in turn improves branch taper and strength. Thinning reduces the wind -sail effect ofthe crown and the weight of heavy limbs.

SERVICE REQUEST PRUNING - At the discretion of City Staff, service requests can be submitted directly through our web vendor portal or through your dedicated supervisor. City Representatives will have the option, at their convenience, to schedule a vendor portal training seminar where they will learn how to create and track service requests, view upcoming and ongoing jobs, and track overall work history in both GIS map form as well as printable invoice / work history form. Once a request has been submitted City Staff will receive itemized service proposals for review and approval.

Regardless of the preferred submittal methods our firm can and will mobilize / deploy crews in any timeline that best fits the City Representative' s expectations and needs. It is our intention to work directly with City Staff in providing a level of flexibility to allow for all ranges of response time including, planned project schedules, non -emergency, and emergency requests.

TREE PLANTING - Great Scott ' free Service along with Elite Nursery will coordinate any planting needs. Elite Nursery is a subsidiary of Great Scott Tree Service and has a 3 - acre parcel of land in the City of Stanton that is used for growing grounds. Elite nursery is fully functional and can grow specialty trees, as well as, purchase other types of trees depending on availability and size. Prior to planting GSTS can assess the planting site and provide the City with a Recommended Planting Guide which will include an outline of viable replanting options and will include detailed description sheets of each species included.

Planting palettes will always be determined by our ISA Certified Arborists after a carefully consideration ofthe planting site area size, probability of successful establishment, cohesive aesthetics to the immediate surrounding area, and the City' s general development goals. Upon approval from the City' s authorized representative, GSTS will coordinate purchasing and planting operations. Our planting team will conduct all soil preparation, tree installation, and backfill to ISA standards, ANSI A300 standards, and City specifications.

TREE REMOVAL consists of the removal of the entirety of a hardwood tree or palm tree and the removal of its root system. Removals will be completed per monthly lists or individual service requests submitted by the City' s authorized representative. With advanced notice GETS will identify the location of all utilities and private property landscape irrigation components prior to the removal of a tree and its root system. GSTS will maintain control of the tree and its parts at all times; branches, limbs and trunk sections will be carefully lowered to the ground so as to avoid damage of any type caused by free -falling items. Immediately following the removal, stumps, including the root flare and surface roots shall be ground to a depth in accordance with ANSI Z133 Standards and City of Stanton Specifications.

EMERGENCY SERVICES - Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. understands the importance of a timely response in the event of emergencies within the City. Our unique customer base along with our strategic market plan allows our work crews to be centrally located in the Los Angeles County Area. This allows for prompt responses in the event of emergencies. We utilize a twenty-four ( 24) hour emergency hotline which is routed to our area manager and crew leaders who will immediately respond during normal business hours of operation, after- hours, weekends and holidays. Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. has a superb record in regards to the prompt response to emergency call outs. We have auxiliary staff that can respond to tree related emergency situations ranging from limbs down on a single tree to large scale storm related damage requiring the commitment of significant resources and staffing levels for several days. Response time for emergency and after- hours tree service requests will never be greater than one ( 1) hour. Our response team will never leave until a site has been safely cleared of all tree related hazards.

Green Waste Bio -Fuels — is investing in the future and protecting our resources by producing reliable green energy. Colmac Energy has demonstrated that biomass plants using urban wood wastes as fuel such as those that result from, right-of-way tree trimmings, and other chipped wood wastes) can generate significant environmental benefits, including reduced air pollutants from open- air burning and lowered demand for landfill space. " Time has proven that the low emissions of the plant, and the collection of citrus and vineyard pruning' s and removals that would otherwise be open -burned, has essentially eliminated open -burning and the associated air pollution" Mulch — is a layer ofmaterial applied to the surface ofan area of soil. Its propose is to conserve moisture, improve the fertility and health of the soil, reduce weed growth, and to enhance the visual appeal of the area.

Unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, a local public agency shall, before awarding a contract or issuing a purchase order, verify that the contractor was properly licensed when the contractor submitted the bid. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, unless one of the foregoing exceptions applies, the registrar may issue a citation to any public officer or employee ofa public entity who knowingly awards a contract or issues a purchase order to a contractor who is not licensed pursuant to this chapter.

Consultant and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Consultant:

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

5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims, including any exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor.

6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Consultant shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect City's protection without City's prior written consent.
7 I. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to Consultant's general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Consultant or deducted from sums due Consultant, at City option.

12. 13.

14. 8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to City of any cancellation of coverage. Consultant agrees to require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will " endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the certificate.

9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this Agreement that all insurance coverage required to be provided by Consultant or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first and on a primary, non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self insurance available to City.

10. Consultant agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for reVIew.

11. Consultant agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by this Agreement to self-insure its obligations to City. If Consultant's existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or self-insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the Consultant, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.

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

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

Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any insurance requirement 14-

19. 20.

21. in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.

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

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

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

Consultant agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or Consultant for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this Agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
15-

22. Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Consultant arising out of the work performed under this Agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City. 16-

are initially trained by the Operations
Manager and then we utilize the "buddy
system". He will work hand in hand with
another Groundman for his first month.

All newly hired Trimmers are trained
under the tutelage of a Certified Tree
Worker or Certified Arborist. The
ultimate responsibility of training and
quality pruning lies on the principals of
the firm and the Operations Manager. Our
commitment to arboricultural training
shines through in the quality work performed by our staff. Quality tree care, safety and customer service are the foundation of Great Scott Tree Service, Inc.

City of Stanton City Arborists and Public Tree Maintenance Services Street Tree Master Plan
Great Scott Tree Service, Inc. will provide the City of Stanton with a Comprehensive Street Tree Master Plan.

Pruning Recommendations
Based on the relative age, health and locale of trees throughout the City our staff will prepare long term pruning recommendations. This pruning schedule will be applied to the database program for immediate response to resident or city staff scheduling inquiries. If a tree at a resident's
property is on a schedule, generally that will satisfy their needs. The most cost effective pruning plan is a block-lockby-system or "Grid Trimming". By utilizing this method the contractor is able to keep costs low and pass the savings to the City. Each tree will receive an inspection on a
regular basis.

Tree Condition Evaluation
The condition of each tree in the City will be assessed by a Certified Arborist during the tree inventory operations. Trees that are recommended for removal will be identified and a cost to provide the tree removal service will be assigned. At the end of the project the City will receive a
report including a spreadsheet that will calculate the total cost to remove all hazardous trees and replace the trees with the appropriate specie.

Vacant Planting Sites
Every vacant planting site in the City of Stanton will be identified based on spacing criteria provided by the City or determined by our staff. The knowledge of the number of vacant planting sites will assist the City in the acquisition of state and federal planting grants. If the City should receive a planting grant, our software program ArborPro, will create a mail merge document to notify each resident of our intention to plant trees adjacent to their address. The letter will include a full page color photo of the species selected for their property and a return post card.

Determine Proper Specie
Our arborist will work with City Staff and local organizations to determine the proper species to be planted throughout the City. The determination will be based on specie attributes, aesthetic qualities, space limitations and City preference.

Tree Valuation
ArborPro will provide the City with the real value of the urban forest. Based on standards set forth by the International Society of Arboriculture each tree will be assigned a true monetary value. Once the value of the Urban Forest is determined City staff can use this valuable information to acquire additional funds to maintain a valuable asset. The tree valuation is also a
requirement ofG. SA. B 34.
