FISCAL IMPACT:

The use of a reimbursement agreement for the proposed project is intended to capture cost recovery for City consultants. The City will not incur any unreimbursed costs as a result of this agreement. As a result of this action, the City Council appropriates expenditures as outlined under the terms of the agreement. This agreement is subject to an initial $400,000 deposit to be replenished at the request of the City per the terms of the agreement. California Forever LP agrees to reasonably maintain minimal liability balances for the City.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Strategic growth will result in long-term financial benefits by expanding the tax base and reducing per-capita service costs. Initial investments in planning and collaboration will be required to initiate this process. California Forever is committing funding to assist in the planning process by assuring all consultants and staff time committed to the project will be funded through the approved Reimbursement Agreement.

BACKGROUND:

On January 21, 2025, the Suisun City Council took a significant step by authorizing the exploration of annexation opportunities beyond the city’s existing sphere of influence. Building on this initiative, the Council approved direct engagement with property owners involved in the East Solano Plan on March 18, 2025. Most recently, on April 15, 2025, the City Council authorized staff to 5 move forward with annexation efforts in coordination with California Forever and to finalize a Reimbursement Agreement (RA) to cover staff and consultant costs associated with planning and annexation.

Following nearly two months of collaborative discussions and negotiations, California Forever and the City have jointly developed a RA that ensures all costs related to the annexation and entitlement process, including the preparation of environmental documents, infrastructure planning, and related efforts will be fully funded by the developer. Importantly, no General Fund (i.e., taxpayer dollars) money will be used to support this work.

City staff are now presenting the RA for City Council approval. If approved, the agreement would authorize staff to initiate the hiring of several experienced consultants that would assist with the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), as well as work with staff on detailed planning and land use regulations, infrastructure modeling, and development of a fiscal model evaluating the project.

STAFF REPORT:

The City is entering into a RA with California Forever, which establishes the terms under which the Developer will fund City costs related to the potential annexation and development of approximately 15,740 acres under the proposed Suisun Expansion Specific Plan. The agreement ensures full reimbursement to the City for staff time, consultant services, legal and environmental review (CEQA), public outreach, and required agency coordination. California Forever will make an initial deposit of $400,000 within 15 days of the agreement’s effective date, with the City authorized to request additional advances to maintain funding for ongoing work.

In addition to reimbursing all upfront costs, California Forever will provide early public benefit payments totaling $10 million in cash. These will be delivered in two phases and the Development Agreement will require: $3.5 million following the City’s certification of the EIR, and $6.5 million within 30 days of annexation approval by LAFCO. These funds will be allocated by the City Council to support critical community priorities, including public safety, infrastructure, parks, homelessness response, and downtown improvements.

California Forever has committed to working exclusively with the City of Suisun City regarding this development, with an allowance to also coordinate with the City of Rio Vista. However, should the Developer choose instead to pursue entitlements through Solano County, it must pay the City a termination fee of $1 million within 60 days of the County’s acceptance of that application.

The agreement affirms the City’s full discretion and independence over all environmental and land use decisions. It does not obligate the City to approve the project, annexation, or related entitlements, and clearly states that final decisions rest solely with the City Council. Additional provisions address dispute resolution, indemnification, assignment restrictions, and final accounting procedures.

In addition to contracting with expert consultants, the City will also realign internal staffing to ensure strategic oversight and continuity. This includes appointing the current Development Services Director to serve as Deputy City Manager for the duration of the project, supported by a backfill strategy to maintain core departmental functions.

This agreement provides a comprehensive and enforceable framework that secures both upfront financial commitments and significant post-entitlement benefits for the City, while preserving the City's authority and ensuring accountability from the Developer. Attachment 1 is a scaled down key provision 6 summary of the agreement and Attachment 2 is the complete RA.

Consultant Strategy and Staffing Plan
Moving forward with the California Forever project will require assembling a specialized team to guide the development process and establish a well-defined implementation timeline. Based on preliminary and limited data currently available to staff, a conservative estimate indicates the need for a dedicated team of at least 10 to 15 professionals. These individuals will bring expertise in land use planning, fiscal and financial modeling, infrastructure development, and environmental resource management and regulation (see Attachment 3: Preliminary Consultant Team).

This team will be led by a Deputy City Manager (DCM), serving as the City Manager’s principal assistant and executive designee. The DCM will oversee and coordinate all work related to this high- priority and complex initiative. Given the scale and intricacy of the project, particularly in areas such as land use planning, intergovernmental coordination, infrastructure development, and community engagement, dedicated executive oversight is essential.

To ensure timely and effective project execution, staff is requesting City Council authorization to retain highly specialized or niche consultants. This flexibility is crucial in cases where the consultant pool is extremely limited or where time-sensitive needs arise. Therefore, a more targeted hiring approach is both practical and necessary. Granting staff the authority to act swiftly will allow the City to secure the right expertise for each project phase, avoiding disruptions and ensuring momentum. This is particularly important for highly technical or one-time tasks, such as environmental reviews or specialized engineering analyses.

While consultant engagement is essential for technical expertise, the project’s size and importance also necessitate dedicated internal executive oversight. This is addressed through the staffing strategy detailed below.

Organizational Leadership and Staffing Strategy
The Deputy City Manager will serve as the City Manager’s principal assistant and executive-level designee, responsible for leading this high-priority annexation initiative and coordinating cross- departmental efforts. The proposed annual salary of $220,000 is based on internal alignment within the City’s executive management structure. This placement positions the Deputy City Manager at approximately 16% below the City Manager and within 2% of the Police Chief, maintaining a clear and appropriate hierarchical distinction that reflects the scope and responsibilities of the role. The full benefits package will align with those offered to the executive management team, reinforcing internal equity and consistency across senior leadership positions.

The City’s current Development Services Director will assume the new Deputy City Manager role. He brings with him a deep understanding of local and regional planning, land use law, intergovernmental coordination, environmental review, and infrastructure planning, making him exceptionally well-suited to lead the City’s strategic annexation initiative and high-level policy efforts. His expertise and institutional knowledge ensure continuity, stability, and effectiveness as the City undertakes this significant endeavor.

To ensure the continued operations of the Development Services Department during the City’s pursuit of the Suisun Expansion Specific Plan, the City will appoint a Limited Term Development Services Director to oversee the department’s day-to-day functions. This role will be directly tied to the City’s engagement with California Forever, and if the project does not move forward for any reason, the position will be discontinued. In that event, the incumbent Deputy City Manager would retain the option 7 to return to the Development Services Director position, providing the City with critical organizational flexibility while minimizing long-term financial risk.

Filling this role will require an individual with highly specialized technical expertise to manage the department’s active portfolio, which includes Caltrans real estate transactions, coordination with external agencies on infill and infrastructure projects, legal and due process matters related to code enforcement, and oversight of regulatory compliance and liability in the building permitting process.

The breadth and complexity of these responsibilities make the position increasingly difficult to fill in today’s competitive labor market.

Given the nature of the assignment—particularly in the context of annexation, large-scale development, and interagency coordination—recruitment will likely focus on candidates with significant, specialized experience. To help maintain continuity in existing operations, the developer has also agreed to reimburse the City for the cost of a Development Consultant, who may be retained to assist with technical assignments as needed. This arrangement provides the City with additional capacity and flexibility, ensuring that daily operations continue seamlessly while the City advances its broader annexation objectives (Attachment 8, Development Consultant Resolution).

The addition of the Deputy City Manager role also helps rebuild the City’s executive leadership structure. Historically, Suisun City maintained an Assistant City Manager position, which was eliminated around 2018–2019 due to budget constraints. This current effort provides a unique opportunity to right-size the organization and reintroduce a second-in-command executive role aligned with the City’s operational needs and future vision.

Importantly, the addition of the Deputy City Manager position will result in no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund. The position is fully funded under the reimbursement agreement with California Forever, which was established to support the City’s exploration of annexation and long-range planning. All salary and benefit costs for both the Deputy City Manager and any necessary consultant support will be reimbursed in accordance with that agreement.

Organizational Benefits:

Re-establishes second-in-command executive leadership (Deputy City Manager) Preserves continuity by leveraging internal expertise
Maintains operational stability through a Limited Term Development Services Director Mitigates financial risk through full developer reimbursement Aligns staffing levels with historic executive structure (last Assistant City Manager role ended in 2018–2019)

Authorization to Engage Initial Consultants for Project Launch With the internal and external structure in place, the City is now positioned to move forward with the engagement of experienced consultants necessary to initiate technical studies and project implementation.

Staff is seeking City Council approval to authorize the City Manager to execute contracts with an initial set of highly qualified consultants essential to launching this significant project. These consultants bring the required skill sets, subject matter expertise, and years of experience managing complex issues similar to those anticipated throughout the course of this project.

Their early involvement is critical to developing a realistic and actionable project schedule and ensuring that key project components are addressed from the outset. Delays in securing these professionals could 8 compromise the City’s ability to effectively manage and deliver this complex undertaking.

The following firms represent the initial group of consultants recommended for engagement:

De Novo Planning Group – Land use and environmental planning Economic and Planning Systems (EPS) – Economic and fiscal analysis Stoel Rives – Special legal counsel with relevant expertise DKS Associates – Traffic engineering and transportation planning

These contracts will be structured on a time-and-materials basis with not-to-exceed amounts. These limits are based on the preliminary scope of work and the limited information currently available. As the project advances and greater clarity is achieved, City staff will return to the City Council as needed to seek approval for additional consultant contracts that provide specialized expertise required at various stages of the project.

All consultant contracts will be actively managed by City staff to ensure work is performed within scope, on schedule, and in alignment with the City’s goals and budgetary parameters.

Staff respectfully requests that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the necessary agreements with the listed firms to support the timely and effective launch of the project.

Environmental Review
The proposed action does not constitute a “project” as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4), as it involves a fiscal activity that does not entail any commitment to a specific project with the potential to significantly impact the environment. A specific plan and accompanying environmental documentation will be developed and presented to the Council for consideration in connection with any future annexation proposal. The California Forever project, which is associated with the consultant planning work funded through the reimbursement agreement, will undergo full CEQA review and clearance prior to any approvals.

REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
This REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT ( “Agreement”) is dated as of June __, 2025 (“Effective Date ”), and is entered into by and between the City of Suisun City , a California municipal corporation (the “City”) and California Forever LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Developer ”). The City and Developer are sometimes individually referred to herein as a “Party” and are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Parties.”

R E C I T A L S
A. Developer has been in the process of planning and entitling a new community in east Solano County. On March 19, 2025, the City sent a letter to Developer inquiring about possible annexation and entitlement of Developer-owned lands in Solano County to the City, attached herein as Exhibit A. On April 1, 2025, Developer responded to confirm its interest, pursuant to letter attached herein as Exhibit B.

B. Developer and City now desire to enter an agreement to establish terms and conditions for the possible expansion of the City ’s boundaries east of the City and the annexation of certain real property (the “Property”), including a portion of the Property for future development, as depicted below. The proposed development includes, but is not limited to, a new industry & technology zone, homes in safe, walkable neighborhoods , parks, open space, a buffer zone around Travis Air Base, transportation circulation ( the “Project”). The Property to be considered for annexation consists of:
1) the Travis Protection Zone, consisting of approximately 5,726 acres, which would permit ongoing agricultural and habitat conservation uses; and 2) the Lambie Industrial Park, consisting of approximately 1,410 acres, an existing industrial park currently located in unincorporated Solano Count y; and 3) the Suisun Expansion Specific Plan, consisting of approximately 15,7 37 acres.
15 -2-
129004243.7 0084720-00001

C. With regard to the growth of the proposed Suisun Expansion Specific Plan, the current phasing plan shows the expected growth of the new area as: (a) 15,000 residents by 2034, (b) 50,000 residents by 2038, (c) 150,000 residents by 2048, and (d) full build out not until 2071.

16 -3-
129004243.7 0084720-00001
D. Exploring this annexation and entitlement process will require substantial investment of time and resources by the City. To this end, the City has asked Developer to agree to (a) an exclusive negotiating period, whereby during this City process Developer shall not negotiate or file an application seeking to annex or entitle the Project with any other City, except for the City of Rio Vista as described below in Section 3, and (b) requested that Developer enter a reimbursement agreement whereby Developer shal l agree to reimburse the City for all reasonable out -of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in completion of the California Environmental Quality Act ( “CEQA”) process, preparation and submission of a request for annexation of the Property to Solano County Local Agency Formation Commission (“LAFCO”), and consideration of and action on Project entitlements.

E. Pursuant to City Resolution 2025 -25, approved by the City on April 15, 2025 and attached hereto as Exhibit C, the City and City of Rio Vista have agreed to work collaboratively regarding the potential annexation of different areas of the Property, as well as other properties owned by Developer (e.g. the Esperson Property discussed below) into the respective cities (the “Suisun City-Rio Vista MOU”). Developer and City recognize that the City of Rio Vista will be entering concurrent negotiations with the Dev eloper about the potential annexation and entitlement of certain properties owned by Developer in proximity to Rio Vista, including the approximately 1,054 acres commonly known as the “Esperson” Property. Developer and City recognize that in connection with that potential annexation and entitlement process , the City of Rio Vista may desire to also expand further west and annex a portion of the proposed Project. Developer and City agree to work collaboratively and in good faith with the City of Rio Vista regarding the respective annexations and entitlement processes.

If appropriate, the City’s environmental analysis may consider a project alternative that reduces the boundary and size of the annexation Property such that the City of Rio Vista may independently consider annexing a portion of the proposed Project area instead of City of Suisun.

F. The City shall be the “lead agency, ” as defined by CEQA for the purpose of conducting the environmental review of the Project, including annexation and entitlements. The City shall exercise its independent judgment in preparing and reviewing CEQA reports and supporting documentation, shall comply with CEQA notice, consultation and comment proceedings including with responsible agencies and others, will hold public hear ings and consider public comments, and will certify an environmental impact report ( “EIR”) and other required CEQA documentation (“CEQA Documentation”) through a resolution. The City will complete the CEQA process prior to making a decision on approving (or not) the Developer ’s request to extend the City ’s boundary through a Property annexation, and/or to approve a Project entitlement. Approval of the Project entitlements shall be at the City’s sole and absolute discretion .

G. Developer agrees that the City, through its staff and professional consultants, including but not limited to contract planners, engineers, environmental professionals, attorneys, and other consultants as the City shall deem necessary (“Consultants”), shall review and assist the City in completing such processing and other such actions as may be necessary to consider the annexation and entitlement processes.
17 -4-
129004243.7 0084720-00001
H. Public Resources Code Section 21082.1 authorizes the City to contract for planning and environmental review services, including preparation of the environmental documents required by CEQA for the Project.

I. Government Code Section 66014 and Public Resources Code Section 21089 entitle the City to recover its reasonable costs of processing the applications for the land use entitlements required by the Project, including but not limited to, costs required to complete an EIR, processes in compliance with CEQA, and completing the processes required for the City to take final action on the proposed Property annexation and Project following certification of the EIR.

This Agreement is intended to specify the terms of Developer ’s deposit and reimbursement for the City ’s planning and environmental review services, including a cash deposit to be made by Developer with on -going payments to City and deposit restoration provisions as provided in this Agreement, and to identify an initial range of potential near-term public b enefits to be evaluated in a future development agreement to be considered upon completion of the CEQA process. Nothing in this Reimbursement Agreement in any way commits the City to approving a boundary expansion , Property annexation, or the Project.

K. The intent of the Parties in entering into this Agreement is to establish a specific, limited period of time to discuss the Property annexation and Project, and if the City wishes to proceed, to complete the steps necessary to take final action on the Project entitlement(s) , and if approved, submit an annexation proposal to LAFCO.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Shared Goals . In addition to those goals outlined in the Suisun City -Rio Vista MOU, the City and Developer jointly recognize the following shared goals specific to Suisun City:
(a) The City and Developer recognize that any development must be fiscally sound, designed and financed in a manner that it pays the cost of municipal services, and produces a net tax surplus for the City. The City and Developer shall engage a third -party fiscal consulting firm to prepare a fiscal impact report that shall be available to the public (b) The Project shall be designed in a manner that provides residents of the City with the greatest possible level of certainty and clarity that: (i) the Project will not draw financial resources from existing City tax base, and (ii) the Project will provide a net fiscal benefit that will help improve the provision of services for existing Suisun City residents. (c) The City and Developer are jointly committed to protecting and strengthening Travis Air Force Base (“Travis AFB”). The City and Developer shall jointly work with Travis AFB to ensure that (a) land uses around Travis AFB protect and strengthen the base, including necessary buffer areas where development is restricted to protect base operations, and (b) the Project supports the quality of life for Travis AFB personnel and their families, including housing, education, childcare, healthcare, and spousal employm ent. 18 -5-
129004243.7 0084720-00001
(d) The Development Agreement shall be negotiated to provide the earliest possible public benefits to the City and its existing residents, as described in Section 4.

2. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall end three (3) years thereafter (the “Term”), unless extended by a mutual written agreement of the Developer and the City. In addition to termination based on the expiration of the Term, either the City or Developer may terminate this Agreement early, with or without cause, upon a thirty (30) day written notice to the other Party, consistent with Section 19, below .

3. Reimbursement & Exclusivity .
(a) The Parties agree that Developer shall reimburse the City for its costs in completing the CEQA, annexation and entitlement processes as set forth in this Agreement, including Section 5 below.
(b) Developer shall not negotiate with any city other than Rio Vista regarding the potential terms, conditions, covenants, restrictions, and agreements for the development of the Project and annexation of the Property into another city (provided that for the a voidance of doubt, the Developer may negotiate and file an application to entitle the Project in unincorporated Solano County). The foregoing period (“Exclusive Negotiation Period”) shall apply for a period of twelve (12) months from the Effective Date, which shall thereafter be renewed for successive periods of six (6) months as long as the Developer has delivered to the City, prior to the expiration of the then -current six (6) month period, a written confirmation that the Exclusive Negotiation Period shall be extended for another six (6) months. If the Developer fails to timely deliver such notice, then this Agreement shall continue, including the reimbursement provisions and obligations of the Developer, but this Section 3(b) and the exclusivity provision s of this Agreement shall cease to apply. If Solano County approves the Project and its entitlements substantially in its full -scale as currently proposed, after Developer has offered to the City to approve the Project on substantially similar terms and the City did not take such action, Developer shall pay the City $1,000,000 as a termination fee no later than 60 days following certification of an EIR and execution of a Development Agreement with Solano County .

4. Early Public Benefits . The Parties agree that commencement of Project construction is contingent on approvals from the City as well as various local, regional, and state agencies that are not party to this Agreement. Since LAFCO and other responsible agencies, must withhold formal decision making until after the City certifies the EIR , and since certain entitlements can take e ffect only following annexation approvals and other actions by agencies not a party to this Agreement, the Parties agree that to take into account such potential delays, while providing for lawful public benefits to the City following the City ’s certification of the EIR and approval of Project entitlements, the Developer hereby agrees that if the EIR is certified, and Property annexation actions and Project entitlements are approved by the City, then the Development Agreement shall include the f ollowing initial commitment of fiscal public benefits to the City, and to avoid delayed delivery of these public benefits, Developer agrees that these initial public benefits shall be due and paid at the milestones specified in subsections (a) and (b) below:
19 -6-
129004243.7 0084720-00001
(a) After approval by City: The Development Agreement shall require the Developer to pay to the City $3,500,000 towards goals specified in Section (c) below within thirty (30) days of certification of the EIR by the City and mutual execution of the Development Agreement. This payment shall be delivered in cash only and is not subject to in-kind conveyance or offset. The Developer acknowledges that while generally the Development Agreement ’s effectiveness shall be conditional on LAFCO approval, the applicable section regarding payment of this sum of $3,500,000 shall not require approval by LAFCO or any other agency other than the City.
(b) After approval by LAFCO: The Development Agreement shall require the Developer to pay to the City $6,500,000 towards goals specified in Section (c) below within thirty (30) days of approval of Property annexation by LAFCO. This payment shall be delivered in cash only and is not subject to in -kind conveyance or offset. (c) Allocation: The City Council shall allocate early public benefits funds to enhance public services, infrastructure, and economic development, and shall report to the public on the use of these funds to ensure the effective and transparent use of resources. By way of example, possible uses of the funding include but are not limited to:
(1) Public Safety: Enhanced public safety services, including increased patrolling of the Downtown Waterfront Area and assistance with unhoused population issues.
(2) Roadway and Sidewalk Improvements: Funding for roadways, sidewalks, and other transportation infrastructure within existing Suisun City boundaries, including but not limited to equipment replacement, transportation management software, and other maintenance, management and improvement costs.
(3) City Parks: Enhanced maintenance and improvements for City Parks.
(4) Marina Improvements: Enhanced maintenance and boating / marina improvements including ancillary needs around the boating/marina facilities. (5) Facade Enhancements: Funding for facade enhancement designed to improve the exterior appearances of buildings located within the current boundaries of the City.

5. Project Costs. All Project Costs, whether borne by the City or by Developer, shall be the sole responsibility of, and undertaken at the sole cost and expense of, the Developer. “Project Costs” shall mean the following fees, costs, or expenses, incurred on or after June 9, 2025 and during Term :
(a) All fees or expenses of Consultants retained by the City for any study, analysis, consultation, evaluation, report, schedule, estimate, environmental review, planning or design activities, drawings, specifications or other activity or matter relating to the Project or negotiation or documentation of agreements related to the Project, including but not limited to, 20 -7-
129004243.7 0084720-00001
a future Development Agreement, Specific Plan, Subdivision Map Act work, planning, environmental studies and public outreach that may be undertaken by City, pursuant to or in reliance upon this Agreement.
(b) Costs of preparing necessary documents pursuant to Planning and Zoning law ( Government Code sections 65000 et seq.), Solano County Local Agency Formation Commission, Solano County Airport Land Use Commission, County of Solano and any other governmental entities, CEQA Documentation and, as applicable, the National Environmental Policy Act, a nd additional supporting documentation, as legally required for the Property annexation, all Project entitlement(s), and development. (c) Costs of distributing CEQA Documentation to responsible agencies and others; noticing and holding public hearings and considering public comments on the CEQA documents and reports, and considering approval or certification of CEQA Documentation and reports and other documentation through a resolution in accord ance with CEQA. (d) Costs of preparing, processing, and certifying the EIR and any additional necessary environmental review.
(e) Litigation and other legal costs associated with CEQA or other challenges, including challenges of any kind to the EIR, annexation, and Project entitlements. (f) Fees and expenses of any Consultants including, without limitation, attorneys employed by City in connection with the Project, Property annexation, and Project entitlements.
(g) Studies, reports, and design services related to development of any Project-related infrastructure.
(h) Costs of all City personnel (full -time and part -time positions) expended on the Project in excess of Planning and Zoning fees paid by Developer, at their fully burdened rates (see rate schedule attached hereto as Exhibit D); (i) All fees, charges and costs, including all deposits, bonds or other securities associated with the submission to and processing by the City of any and all applications and other documents and information submitted to the City by the Developer pursuant to t his Agreement, and otherwise required for the City to take final action on the Property annexation and Project entitlements.
(j) Any and all other actions reasonably taken by City in connection with processing of application for the Project.

6. Deposit: Within 15 (fifteen) days of the Effective Date, Developer shall deposit the sum of $400,000 into the City’s escrow account (“Initial Deposit”). Thereafter, the City and Developer shall work together to establish an appropriate budget and schedule, and agree the same for the next 6 months. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, Developer ’s liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the Initial Deposit, plus any budget 21 -8-
129004243.7 0084720-00001
pre-approved in writing by Developer. The City and Developer shall update the budget and schedule on a quarterly basis. The City will provide Developer monthly with copies of non - privileged portions of invoices from City ’s Consultants, and reasonable itemized documentation regarding City staff time. The City shall monitor its expenses and the balance in the deposit account. Whenever City believes, in good faith, that there will be insufficient funds to pay all of its Project Costs for the next 90 days, City may make a written request to Developer for additional funds (“Additional Advance”). City’s request for the Additional Advance shall state the existing balance and the additional amount requested. City may request the funds it reasonably believes necessary to cover a period not exceeding 90 days. The deposit account shall generally maintain a minimum balance of Four Hundred Thousand dollars (“$400,000.00”). The Initial Deposit and Additional Advance funds are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Deposit.” Developer shall make the Additional Advance within thirty (30) days of City ’s written request therefor. If Developer fails to timely make the Additional Advance, City may cease all additional work by staff and consultants on the Project, until City receives the Additional Advance from Developer.

The Deposit shall be managed in a separate account and not commingled with other funds of City. The Deposit shall not accrue interest. City shall administer the Deposit and use the Deposit to reimburse City for Project Costs. City shall maintain satisfactory accounting records as to the expenditure of the Deposit at all times.

7. Dispute Resolution : In the event of any disagreement between the City and Developer regarding Project Costs, the Parties shall first meet in good faith to try and resolve the issue. Developer reserves the right to reimburse costs under protest, and the Parties agree to submit the dispute to the dispute resolution procedures identified in Section 25.

8. Final Accounting: Within two (2) business days of termination of this Agreement (or in early case of early termination, within two (2) business of receipt of the Developer ’s early termination notice), the City shall instruct all parties whose services have been or are being reimbursed under this Agreement to immediately stop further work, and provide final invoices to the City. The City shall provide final accounting to Developer within thirty (30) days of the termination of this Agreement. Within ten (10) days thereof: (a) if there is excess of escrowed funds, the City shall refund the same to Developer; (b) if there is lack of escrowed funds, Developer shall pay the remaining final balance to the City. The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

9. Conflicts of Interest .
(a) No Financial Relationship. During the term of the City’s contract with De Novo Planning Group ( “Environmental Consultant ”) to review and finalize the CEQA Documentation for the Project, and for a period of three months after certification of the EIR and the City ’s action on the proposed Property annexation and Project entitlement(s), neither Developer nor its affiliates shall enter into any financial relationship with the Environmental Consultant or with any City official or employee. Nor, during such period, shal l Developer propose to enter into any future relationship with the Environmental Consultant or with any City official or employee. The City retains the right to change its environmental consultant during the course of this Agreement. In such event, City will provide written notice to Developer and will 22 -9-
129004243.7 0084720-00001
manage the transition to avoid or minimize delays and additional costs resulting from any such transition.
(b) Developer ’s Representations and Warranties. Developer represents and warrants to the City that during the 12-month period preceding the Effective Date, Developer has not entered into any arrangement to pay financial consideration to, and has not made any payment to, the Environmental Consultant. Developer further represents and warrants that it has not entered into any arrangement to pay financial consideration to, and has not made any payment to, any City official or employee that would create a legally co gnizable conflict of interest as defined in the Political Reform Act (Gov. Code § 87100 et seq.).

10. No Obligation To Approve .
(a) Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to be a representation or agreement by either the City or Developer to accept, approve, or adopt the LAFCO Package, a Development Agreement, specific plan, or other approvals or entitlements for t he Project. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed as a guaranty, warranty, or representation that the City Council of the City will approve any proposed Development Agreement negotiated by City staff and Developer for the Project. Further, nothing in this Agreement is or is intended to bind the City to taking any particular action on Property annexation or Project entitlement(s) before completing the required CEQA process, including but not limited to consideration of comments on the E IR, such that the City ’s consideration of final action on the Property annexation and Project entitlement(s) is first and fully informed by a certified EIR.
(b) Developer acknowledges and agrees that: (i) under this Agreement, City is not committing itself or agreeing to enter into an expansion of its boundaries or development, or to approving the Property annexation or any Project entitlements; (ii) no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to be an offer by City, nor an acceptance by City of any offer or proposal from Developer, for City to convey any estate or interest in the Property to Developer or for City to provide any financial or other assistance to Developer for development of the Project or the Property; (iii) Developer has not acquired, nor will acquire, by virtue of the terms of this Agreement, any legal or equitable interest in real or personal property from City; (iv) any further efforts, after the completion of the term, by either Party to perform due diligence, arrange or obtain financing, or carry out other acts in contemplation of the possible acquisition, transfer or development of the Project shall not be deemed evidence of intent by either Party to be bound by any terms, conditions, covenants, restrictions or agreements relating to acquisition, transfer or development of the Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything else in this Agreement, provided Developer fulfills its obligation to reimburse the City ’s costs and other obligations under this Agreement, the City agrees to complete the CEQA process, inclusive of certifying a final EIR for the Property annexation and Project entitlements, with both Parties recognizing that certifica tion of the EIR is a separate action which does not, in any way, bind the City to thereafter approve the LAFCO Package or Project entitlements. Developer acknowledges and agrees that after the EIR certification, the City ’s consideration of the Property annexation and Project entitlements is subject to the sole and absolute discretion of the City Council. 23 -10-
129004243.7 0084720-00001
(c) Subject to the reimbursement requirements set forth below, Developer further acknowledges and agrees as follows with respect to its request for Property annexation and Project entitlements:
(1) City has sole discretion to select which of its employees, Consultants, and Environmental Consultant are assigned to work on the application; (2) City has sole discretion to direct the work and evaluate the performance of its employees , Consultants, and Environmental Consultant assigned to work on the application, and City retains the right to terminate or replace at any time any such person; (3) City has sole discretion to determine the amount of compensation paid to its employees, Consultants, and Environmental Consultant assigned to work on the application; and
(4) City, not Developer, shall pay City ’s employees, Consultants, and Environmental Consultant assigned to work on the application from a City account. City employees and Consultant costs shall be paid by the City from the Deposit required by Section 6 of this Agreement.
(d) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the processing of Developer’s request for annexation and Project entitlements is not contingent on the hiring of any specific consultants, Consultants, or Environmental Consultant.
(e) The Project remains subject to the City ’s full exercise of discretion as a lead agency to consider the EIR and to approve or disapprove the Project, including the authority to require the Project to undertake mitigation measures as may be set forth in the EIR. The City, at this time, is not committing to approve or undertake the Project. The City reserves all necessary discretionary authority to approve, deny, or condition the Project, including the authority to adopt any mitigation measures or alternatives necessary to avoid or substantially lessen the environmental impacts of the Project. Any approval of the Project itself is expressly conditioned on final CEQA review. The City ’s approval of this Agreement therefore does not constitute an approval of the Project and is not a decision subject to CEQA. ( Concerned McCloud Citizens v.

McCloud Community Services Dist. (2007) 147 Cal.App.4th 181; Cedar Fair, L.P. v. City of Santa Clara (2011) 194 Cal.App.4th 1150.)

11. Processing of Property Annexation and Project Entitlement Applications . (a) The City shall accept for processing all application materials and related documentation for Property annexation and Project entitlements submitted by Developer. The City shall timely process and consider all applications and related documentation for City action that are necessary or desirable for the efficient and economical processing of the annexation and Project entitlement applications. Not later than sixty (60) calendar days following the Planning Commission ’s final recommendation of the Project, the City Council shall hold a duly noticed public hearing on the Project. The Parties intend that all discretionary entitlements, final legislative actions, and quasi -judicial approvals necessary to proceed with annexation of the Property with LAFCO and e ntitlement of the Project will be considered at the same public 24 -11-
129004243.7 0084720-00001
hearing. The parties acknowledge that some final legislative actions by the City require two (2) separate meetings at least five (5) calendar days apart under applicable state law.

12. Compliance with CEQA Guidelines: Independent Judgment . CEQA Guidelines Sections 15074 and 15090 require the lead agency to exercise its independent judgment in approving environmental documents. Payment of the cost of preparation of the environmental documents by Developer does not undermine the independent preparation of the environmental documents by City so long as any consultant hired to review and finalize the environmental documents is under contract to and directed by City. (Pub. Res. Code § 21082.1( a)). It is understood that any such Consultant hired by City to review and finalize environmental documents, shall be under contract with and directed by City or City’s authorized representative, and Developer shall not attempt to direct, influence, or otherwise control the consultant in the performance of the work. Developer shall direct any questions or concerns to City. City and Developer acknowledge that all applicable requirements of CEQA including the CEQA Documentation must be met in order for the City to pursue LAFCO approval for annexation, and for the City to approve any Project entitlement(s) including but not limited to General Plan amendments, Specific Plan and other rezoning, subdivision mapping, and approval of a Development Agreement. The Par ties recognize that execution of this Agreement does not constitute “approval ” of a “project,” as those terms are defined by CEQA, and does not in any way limit the ability of City to consider alternatives or mitigation measures for any project as required to comply with CEQA. The City acknowledges that Developer has commenced analysis pursuant to CEQA in connection with the Project. Developer shall provide the City with all available CEQA Documentation as part of Developer application documents, including but not limited to studies, analyses, graphics, and draft documentation p repared by Developer.

Upon receipt of Developer ’s CEQA Documentation, the City shall conduct an independent review of these documents as required by CEQA. The City shall exercise its independent judgment in determining the adequacy of the submitted documentation, whether additional studies or supplement al analyses are required, and issue a Draft EIR for public review and thereafter complete the CEQA process and certify the EIR.

Developer acknowledges that, at the City ’s discretion, additional environmental and/or technical studies, revisions, or new analyses may be necessary for the City to complete its independent review and comply with CEQA. Any such additional work shall be conducted at the Developer ’s sole cost and expense. Developer agrees to cooperate with the City in providing any further information or documentation necessary to complete the CEQA review process in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

13. No Third-Party Beneficiary. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to benefit any person or entity other than City and Developer.

14. Assignment. Developer recognizes the importance of the development of the Project to the general welfare of the City, and the specific qualifications and identity of Developer and its principals are of particular concern to the City. The City acknowledges that Developer may intend to form one or more new entities to be the developer(s) that will be party to the Project that is controlled by the parties comprising Developer, as currently constituted. This Agreement 25 -12-
129004243.7 0084720-00001
may not be assigned by the Developer to an entity other than one that is controlled by Developer without the prior express written consent of the City in its sole discretion, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

15. Indemnification and Hold Harmless .
(a) Non-liability of City Concerning Entitlements. The Parties acknowledge that there may be challenges to the legality, validity, and adequacy of the CEQA Documentation, Property annexation and Project entitlement(s), and/or this Agreement which, if successful, could delay or prevent the development of the Project. City shall have no liability under this Agreement for Developer ’s inability to develop the Project as a result of a judicial determination that the CEQA Documentation, Property annexation or Project entitlement is, or any portions thereof, are invalid, inadequate, or not made in compliance with law. In the event of an adverse judicial outcome, Developer may apply to the City to correct any identified legal deficiencies in the CEQA Documentation, anne xation and/or entitlement process, at which time a new Deposit shall be required and this Agreement shall be reinstated as effective until such time as the City completes the required processing to correct any such deficiency or until this Agreement is terminated by mutual agreement or non -performance of the Developer. (b) Participation in Litigation; Indemnity. Developer agrees to indemnify, protect, defend, and hold harmless City and its officials, officers, employees, agents, elected boards, commissions, departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof, from any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, writs of mandamus, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, obligations, expenses, and any other actions or proceedings (whether legal, equitable, declaratory, administrative, or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative dispute resolution procedures (including, but not limited to, arbitrations, mediations, and other such procedures), including, but not limited to, attorneys ’ fees and costs (herein the “Claims and Liabilities ”), arising from or related to this Agreement, CEQA Documentation, Property annexation, or Project entitlement(s). Developer shall be fully responsible for any monetary judgment arising therefrom, whether such Claims and Liabilities are brought under CEQA, planning and zoning laws, the Subdivision Map Act, Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1085 or 1094.5, or any other federal, state, or local law, rule, regulation, or any applicable judicial decision. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Developer may be required to deposit funds to cover its indemnification obligation or to provide other security if any such litigation is commenced. If Developer fails to timely pay such funds, City may abandon the action without liability to Developer and may recover from Developer any attorneys ’’ fees and other costs for which City may be liable for abandonment of the action. City shall provide Developer with notice of the pendency of such action and request that Developer pay for the costs to defend such action.

Developer ’s obligation to pay the defense costs of City shall extend until final judgment, including any applicable appeal periods or appellate decis ions. (c) Choice of Counsel. It is expressly agreed that the Parties reserve the right to retain independent defense counsel of their choosing. Provided Developer is fulfilling its obligations to indemnify under Section 15(b) above, the Developer may, at its sole discretion, retain its own counsel and defend any such claim challenging CEQA, the Property annexation or Property entitlement(s), and the Parties shall cooperate with respect to such defense. 26 -13-
129004243.7 0084720-00001
(d) Exception. The obligations of Developer under this Section shall not apply to any claims, actions, or proceedings arising through the gross negligence or willful misconduct of City, its members, officers, or employees.
(e) Survival of Indemnity Obligations. All indemnity provisions set forth in this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

16. Agreement Not a Financial Debt or Liability of City . The Parties agree that this Agreement does not create a financial debt or liability of City. City shall not be obligated to advance any of its own funds with respect to the environmental documents. No City official, officer, employee, or agent shall be personally liable to Developer under this Agreement to any extent.

17. Attorney-Client Privilege Not Waived . Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to abrogate or waive the City ’s or the Developer ’s attorney -client privileges.

18. Qualification for Business; Authority to Sign . Each person signing this Agreement on behalf of Developer represents and warrants that Developer has been and is qualified to do business in the State of California, that Developer has full right and authority to enter into this Agreement, and that all per sons signing on behalf of Developer were authorized to do so by appropriate actions, that all signatures were duly delivered, and that this Agreement binds Developer.

19. Notices. Any notice, request, approval, or other communication to be provided by one Party to the other shall be in writing and by certified mail, return receipt requested, or a reputable overnight delivery service (such as Federal Express) addressed as follows, with a mandatory email copy to the email addresses specified below.

Re: Addendum to May 7, 2025, Engagement Letter and
Request for Advance Waiver of Conflicts of Interest
Dear Mr. Prebula:

On May 7, 2025, the City of Suisun City (the “City”) and Stoel Rives LLP (“Stoel Rives”) (together, the “Parties”) entered an Engageme nt Letter and Request for Advance Waiver of Conflicts of Interest (the “Engagement”). The May 7, 2025, Scope of Engagement provides:

Scope of Engagement. You have engaged Stoel Rives to represent you in connection with providing legal assistance with regard to the negotiation of an agreement with the owners of certain real property located in Solano C ounty that may be considered for annexation and development, which agreement shall, among other things, reimburse the City for costs and expenses associated with this effort and such other representation as needed (“Engagement”). Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Stoel Rives has not agreed to represent you in any other matter. If you engage Stoel Rives to represent you in any matters beyond the scope of the Engagement, these Te rms of Engagement sh all apply to those matters.

By entering this Addendum, the Parties agree to supplement the May 7, 2025, Scope of Engagement as follows:

A. Scope of Engagement: The Parties agree that Stoel Rives will represent the City with regard to all aspects of the proposed development project currently referred to as the California Forever project, includi ng but not limited to agency and private
party negotiations, legislative ac
tions, permitting, annexation, environmental

t, administrative activities, contracting, real estate, litigation, and other r
elated activities.

B. Fees: The Parties agree that, provided the City Council approves and formally executes the proposed R
eimbursement Agreement with California Forever LP, a
Delaware limited partnership, no later than June 20, 2025, then effective June 9, 2025, all Stoel Rives fees and costs
will be directly billed to the City pu rsuant to

be responsible for all such payments to Stoel Rives unless and until the Reimbursement Agreement is terminated in accordance with the terms set forth therein. ( A copy of the approved and fully executed Reimbursement Agreement shall be attached to this Addendum not later than June 20, 2025 .) In all other respects, the Fees provision of the Scope of Engagement remains fully in effect.

The Parties agree to further supplement the Scope of Engagement as follows:

C. Subconsultants: The City has requested, and Stoel Rives agrees to accept as requested subcontract arrangements for engineering services with Steven R. Krahn, and planning services with Sierra Pla nning & Development (“Subcontractors”).

The Parties understand that while under subcontract to Stoel Rives, all payments to Subcontractors will be the sole responsibility of the City, and that Subcontractors will be paid only following receipt by St oel Rives from the City of payments due under the respective subcontracts. The Parties further understand that City funding for Subcontractor payments will be covered under the Reimbursement Agreement, however, regardless of the status of payments received by the City pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement, at no time will Stoel Rives have any independent obligation or responsibility to cover City payment obligations to Subcontractors as set forth herein.

Provided the above supplemental Terms of Engagement meet with your approval, please sign this Addendum in the space below and return a copy to me. Please call or email me at any time if you have any questions. We look forward to continuing our important work on the City’s behalf.

Very truly yours,

STANDARD TERMS OF REPRESENTATION

Fees. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the C lient and Stoel Rives, the principal basis for computing our fees for the legal services we provide will be the amount of time spent on the matter by various lawyers and legal assist ants multiplied by their indivi dual hourly billing rates. Other factors we may consider in setting our fee incl ude the novelty and difficulty of the questions involved; the skill required to perform the services properly; the experience, reputation, and ability of those performing the services; the time limitations imposed by the Client or the circumstances; the amount involved; and the results obtained.

Costs. We will include in our statements separate charges for services such as messenger and delivery service, travel, international telephone, and filing fees. Unless ot herwise agreed to in writing, the Client authorizes us to retain any in vestigators, consultants, or experts necessary in our judgment to represent the Client’s interests in the specified matter. Th eir fees and expenses generally will not be paid by us, but will be billed directly to the Client.

Estimates. We are often requested to estimate the am ount of costs likely to be incurred in connection with a particular matter. Because costs are usually not predictable, we generally make no commitment to the Client conc erning the maximum costs that will be necessary to resolve or complete the matter. Any mention by us of costs is only an estimate. It is also expressly understood that your obligation to pay our costs is in no way contingent on the ultimate outcome of the matter.

Client Responsibilities. You agree to pay our statements for services and expenses as agreed in the Terms of Engagement. In addition, you agree to be candid and cooperat ive with us and keep us informed with complete and accurate fact ual information, documents, communications, and other material relevant to the subject matter of our representation or otherwise reasonably requested by us. You also agree to make any necessary business and strategy decisions in a timely manner. Because we need to be able to commu nicate with you regarding the representation, you agree to keep us advised of na me, address, telephone number, contact person, or email address changes.

Advice about Possible Outcomes. From time to time, we may express opinions or beliefs concerning the matter or various co urses of action and the results that might be anticipated. Any such statement made by any of our lawyers is an expression of opinion only, based on information available to us at the time, and should not be construed by you as a promise or guarantee.

Electronic Communications. It is likely that, during the course of this engagement, you and Stoel Rives will use electronic devices and internet services (which may include unencrypted email, mobile phones, voice over Internet , electronic data/document webs ites, and other technology) to communicate and transfer documents. Although the us e of this technology involves some degree of risk that third parties may access confidential communications, we believe and, by signing the engagement letter, you agree that the benefits of using this technology outweigh the risk of accidental disclosure. Nevertheless, just as we have policies and systems in place designed to make our electronic communications w ith you reasonably secure, it is equally important that you communicate with us in a manner th at reasonably protects the conf identiality of information we share and any attorney-client privilege that may apply to our communications. This means that you should not use any computers or other electronic devices, networks, or internet addresses that 111

are owned, controlled, or may be accessed by others to send or receive confidential information to or from us. Any device you use should be passwo rd protected and not accessible for use by any third party.

Responding to Subpoenas and Other Requests for Information. If we are required to respond to a subpoena or other formal request from a third party or a governmental agency for our records or other information relating to services we have performed for you, or to testify by deposition or otherwise concerning such services, we will firs t consult with you as to whether you wish to provide the information demanded or assert the attorney-client privilege to the extent you may properly do so. In such circumstances, you agr ee that you will reimburse us for our time and expense incurred in responding to any such demand, including, but not limited to, time and expense incurred in searching for information and photocopying costs, reviewing documents, appearing at depositions or hearings, and otherwise litigating issues raised by the request.

Termination of Engagement. You may, at any time, terminat e our representation upon written notice to us. We reserve the right to withdraw from our representation as required or permitted by the applicable rules of professional conduct upo n written notice to you. Your termination or our withdrawal will not relieve you of your obligation to pay for services already rendered, including work in progress and incomplete at the time of termination, and to pay fo r all expenses incurred on your behalf by us through the termination or withdrawal date.

Conclusion of Representation; Rete ntion and Disposition of Documents. Unless previously terminated or otherwise agre ed, our representation will conc lude and the attorney-client relationship will terminate automatically upon the occurrence of either of the following: first, 30 days following the date on which we send you a fi nal statement for services rendered in the matter(s); or second, in the event a final statemen t for services is not sent, when 12 months have elapsed with no meaningful bill able services provide d to the Client. Th ereafter, should you reengage us to represent you, you agree that the terms of this letter shall apply to any matters that we handle for you unless a new engagement letter has been signed. At your request, client documents and property will be returned to you upon receipt of payment for outstanding fees and costs, although we reserve the right to copy a ny documents we deem appropriate. Our files and documents pertaining to the matter will be retained by us for ten years after the termination of a matter, without further notice to the Client.

Post-engagement Matters. The Client is engaging us to provide legal services in connection with a specific matter. After co mpletion of the matter, changes may occur in the applicable laws or regulations that could impact the Client’s future rights and liabilities. Unless the Client engages us after the completion of the matter to provide additional legal advice or services on issues arising from the matter, we have no continuing obligation to advise the Client on such issues or on future legal developments, including doc keting milestones, making addi tional or conti nuation filings, monitoring renewal or notice dates or similar deadlines that may arise with respect to the matter, pursuing appeals, or taking other steps on the Client’s behalf to protect its interests.
