Recommended Action: Deny Application for Permission to Present Late Claim for damages filed June 18, 2024, by Attorney Megan Koster on behalf of claimant Annamarie Isabel Cortez, FR102209/22937. [S. Oneal]
Summary: On June 18, 2024, the City was served with an application for permission to present late claims by Annamarie Isabel Cortez pursuant to Government Code §911.6(b)(4). Annamarie Isabel Cortez alleges she was injured by a dog when she entered the property located at 933 E. Sonora Avenue, Tulare, California on July 19, 2023. Claimant is requesting permission to present a late claim pursuant to Government Code §911.6(b)(4) and §911.6(b)(2) alleging the reason for delay was:
• A person who sustained the alleged injury, damage, or loss was physically or mentally incapacitated during all time specified in 911.2; and • The reason for delay was due to mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect since claimant retained her legal counsel on May 14, 2024, after the sixmonth period.

Government Code §911.6(b)(2) states that the board (Council) shall grant a late claim application under certain circumstance. However, no evidence substantiating that claimant was incapacitated during all times during the six-month period was presented and failure to retain an attorney in the specified time is not proper grounds to grant relief. “([A] a mere lack of knowledge of the claim-filing requirements and its time limitation is insufficient.” El Dorado Irrig. Dist. v Superior Court (1979) 98 CA3d 57, 62. It is recommended the permission to present a late claim be denied.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Legal Review: The item was reviewed by the RMA Attorney and City Attorney.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny; or 3) Table.

7.4 Tulare Cares Temporary Encampment Meal Delivery Contract.

Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Salt + Light for meal delivery service to the Tulare Cares Temporary Encampment, subject only to minor conforming and clarifying changes acceptable to the City Attorney and the City Manager. [J. Glick]
Tulare City Council Page 3 of 9
Agenda Memo - July 2, 2024
Summary: In January 2023, the City opened the Tulare Cares Temporary Homeless Encampment to provide a safe and humane area for the homeless community to live until the permanent shelter is complete.

In June 2023, the City executed a one-year service agreement with Salt + Light Works (Salt + Light) to provide daily food service of one meal for the guests at the Tulare Cares Temporary Encampment. In response, Salt + Light created the Everyone Eats Today program to provide food for the homeless community. The total cost of the agreement was $20,800.00, which expired on June 30, 2024.

Given that the current contract for the provision of this service has expired, the attached proposal includes providing meals and palliative care items to the Encampment Resolution Area (Tulare Cares Temporary Encampment) seven days a week. They will create and maintain a schedule in order to ensure consistent meal service. They will also be working with local restaurants, churches, and other organizations to provide this service.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): If approved, the meal delivery service will be paid through the 601-4601-7301 fund.

Legal Review: This item has been reviewed by the City Attorney.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny; or 3) Table.

7.5 Accept and Appropriate Federal Earmark for Construction of Homeless Shelter.

Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution accepting a federal earmark for $1,500,000 to fund a portion of the construction costs of a homeless shelter (Project FM-0048); authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute all agreements and other documents necessary to receive the funds; and authorizing establishment of General Fund CIP Fund appropriation(s) of $1,500,000 and a corresponding revenue budget. [M. Roberts]
Summary: Homelessness is a complex issue impacting many individuals and communities, including the Central Valley. It occurs for a myriad of reasons, which can vary significantly from individual to individual, such as unaffordable housing costs, trauma, loss of employment, underemployment, abandonment, or choice. Many of the homeless are chronically unhoused due to barriers against sustaining housing, like untreated mental illness, addiction, or criminal record.

Homeless persons may face several challenges, including, but not limited to, unsanitary living conditions, exposure to severe weather, limited access to health care and food, and safety issues including potential exposure to violence. And communities must deal with the outward appearance and impacts of homelessness, such as panhandling, impeding of access to public amenities, crime, safety concerns, public health concerns, accumulation of garbage, and visual blight.

In January 2022, the Kings Tulare Homeless Alliance conducted its 2022 Point in Time (PIT) count of the number of people experiencing sheltered and unsheltered homelessness in Tulare and Kings Counties, with volunteers canvassing locations Tulare City Council Page 4 of 9
Agenda Memo - July 2, 2024
where people experiencing homelessness are known to regularly congregate, i.e., encampments, libraries, food distribution sites, etc. The PIT count results indicated 212 people were homeless in the City of Tulare, an increase of 190% since 2012, with 69 people considered to be chronically homeless. In the County, 922 people in Tulare County found to be homeless, 258 of whom were considered chronically homeless.

Of the 212 homeless persons in Tulare, 148 slept in an unsheltered location, 33 in an emergency shelter, and 31 in transitional housing. The greatest percentage of those experiencing homeless were ages 35-44 (27%) and 45-54 (30%). Children under the age of 18 represented 4%. The most prevalent reported barriers to housing were mental illness and substance abuse.

Over the past several years, the City has been discussing the issue of homelessness, its impacts on the community, and possible solutions.

On May 17, 2022, the City Council approved a conceptual plan, project phasing, potential lease options, and an operational plan for an emergency homeless shelter, which includes partnering with Tulare County to design, construct, and operate the shelter on vacant land owned by the County at the Tulare County Health and Human Services facility property along East O’Neal Avenue, east of K Street. On July 19, 2022, the City Council approved a design contract with 4 Creeks, Inc. for the site development and construction of a City homeless shelter.

The Tulare Homeless Shelter will comprise a 20,000 square foot main shelter building; 16 modular units, providing a total of 32 rooms in a modular village setting; restroom and shower facilities; 3 modular buildings, housing administrative and counseling operations, a food pantry and service area, laundry facilities, and classroom/training space; dog kennels; and secure storage containers. Improvements necessary for development of the campus include extension of sewer, water, and storm drainage utilities; dry utilities; public street frontage improvements; perimeter fencing; parking lot; trash bin enclosure; lighting and video surveillance systems; and other ancillary facilities necessary to support shelter operations.

Construction of the Tulare Homeless Shelter is anticipated to begin in Fall 2024 with completion of the facility by Fall 2025. The estimated cost to complete construction is $13 million.

On December 29, 2022, the President of the United States signed into law HR 2617 – Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-328), which includes a $1.5 million earmark for the City for construction of the shelter.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): No City match is required to receive the funds, and accepting the funds will reduce the impact of the cost to the General Fund for construction of the Tulare Homeless Shelter by $1.5 million.

Legal Review: This item does not require legal review.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny; or 3) Table.

8.1 Mission Creek Subdivision.

Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution requesting the Tulare County Local Agency Formation Commission take proceedings for annexation No. 2023-01 (East Tulare No. 37 – Mission Creek) and detachment of the property from the Tulare Irrigation District and County Service Area No. 1; pass to print an ordinance approving Zone Amendment No. 751, pre-zoning the subject property to the R-1-4 (Small-lot Residential) zoning designation; and adopt a resolution adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for annexation No. 2023-01 (East Tulare No. 37 – Mission Creek), Zone Amendment No. 751, Conditional Use Permit No. 2023-16, and Tentative Subdivision Map - Mission Creek. [S. Sopp]
Summary: This is a request by N and M Tulare LLC. to annex into the City limits and subdivide approximately 39.26-acres into a 255-lot single-family residential subdivision.

The subject parcel is currently outside of the City limits and is currently subject to the County’s zoning designation. The applicant is proposing to pre-zone the subject property to the R-1-4 (Small-lot Residential) and zoning designation to become effective upon annexation into the City limits.

The proposed project is located on the southwest corner of Bardsley Avenue and the Oakmore Street alignment. Entry access to the development will be established through a new point of access off of Bardsley Avenue and Oakmore Street.

Annexation
The project proponents are requesting to annex and subdivide an approximately 39.26- acre site. The project site is full encompassed by the existing City limit boundary and is considered an unincorporated County Island. The project site currently consists of vacant land that has formerly been used for agriculture. The proposed annexation represents an orderly expansion of the City limits and resolves the previous creation of an island. The project also includes a request to detach from the Tulare Irrigation District and County Service Area No. 1. Staff has reviewed the proposed annexation and determined it to be consistent with Chapter 10.26 – Annexations, of the City of Tulare Municipal Code.

Cities are allowed to approve tentative maps prior to annexation but may not approve the final subdivision map until after the land is annexed. The Tulare County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) will need to approve and record the annexation prior to the map being effective. Following the approval of a resolution of application by the City Council, the applicant will be required to submit an application to LAFCO in order to initiate annexation proceedings.

Zone Amendment
The subject property is currently subject to the zoning designation established by the County of Tulare. Upon annexation, the project proponents are proposing to establish Tulare City Council Page 6 of 9
Agenda Memo - July 2, 2024
the underlying zoning designation as R-1-4 (Small-lot Residential). The proposed R-1- 4 zoning designation is consistent with the existing Low Density Residential land use designation.

Environmental
An Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for this project for public review pursuant to provisions of the Public Resources Code, State of California, Section 21000 to 21177 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City of Tulare was the lead agency on the preparation of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. A notice of Public Hearing for the project, and the Notice of Intent to Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration was published on April 23, 2024.

Two comment letters were received during the public review period of the circulated CEQA document. Comment letters were received from the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC).

Comments provided by the SJVAPCD discussed the District’s recommendation that the Project proponent perform a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) to evaluate the potential health risk to nearby residents and workers created by emissions output from construction equipment during construction of the project. In response to the air district’s comments the project proponent revised CalEEMod emissions modeling to better reflect the Project’s parameters and completed a prioritization screening and provided a prioritization score for the project. A prioritization score between 0 and less than 10 would not be required to perform a HRA and would be a less than significant impact.

The prioritization screening indicated that the Project’s maximum prioritization score was 9.24, therefore an HRA is not required and impacts to sensitive receptors from the Project would be less than significant.

Comments from DTSC discussed the possibility for the need of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment. The applicant has completed a Phase I assessment and provided it to City staff.

The comments provided by DTSC and SJVAPCD have been provided (attached) and as appendix E to the IS/MND prepared for the project. The response to comments prepared for the SJVAPCD comments have been provided (attached) and as appendix F to the IS/MND. The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment has been provided as appendix G to the IS/MND.

On June 10, 2024, the Planning Commission voted 4-0 (with one seat vacant) to recommend that the City Council approve Annexation No. 2023-01 (East Tulare No. 37 – Mission Creek), Zone Amendment No. 751, and adoption of the Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration approved for the project.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): The proposed action will not have any immediate financial impact. As future development occurs, payment of entitlement, building permit, development impact fees, etc. will be required. It is recommended that future action be taken to amend the City’s development impact fee program to add longer term infrastructure improvements specifically related to traffic to the program.

Agenda Memo - July 2, 2024
Legal Review: This item does not require legal review.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny - If denied, the proposed annexation area would remain within the jurisdiction of Tulare County and the “Project Area” would remain subject to the County’s AE-40 (Agricultural Exclusive, 40-acre minimum parcel size) zoning designation; or 3) Table.

9. GENERAL BUSINESS - Comments related to General Business items are limited to three minutes per speaker, for a maximum of thirty minutes per item, unless otherwise extended by Council. For those that wish to provide public comment while viewing the meeting online, you may call (559) 366-1849.

9.1 Highway 99 Interchange Study and Land Use Assumptions Phase I Final Report.

Recommended Action: Receive and accept the City of Tulare Highway 99 Interchange Study and Land Use Assumptions Phase I Final Report as prepared by Eight20 Consulting dba ZacTax; and authorize staff to initiate Phase II to explore potential options to encourage fiscally sustainable development patterns at and around the new Interchange. [T. Myers]
Summary: In January 2024, the City of Tulare entered into a contract with Eight20 Consulting dba ZacTax for the purpose of analyzing development patterns at key interchanges along Highway 99 and to provide a report outlining land use assumptions and economic impacts at these defined interchanges.

As a result, ZacTax analyzed development patterns across five interchanges located along Highway 99 and used the insights from that process to approximate how the areas surrounding the new interchange in Tulare could develop given the City’s current land use plans, building standards, and costs to provide basic services and infrastructure.

The initial results from the fiscal impact are intended to provide a picture of what could happen if the City of Tulare were to take a more passive approach regarding development surrounding the new interchange.

In the attached Report, you will find brief summaries of the (1) key assumptions that drive the fiscal impact, (2) the results of the fiscal impact study, (3) additional points to consider, and (4) key recommendations. The Report does not incorporate input from developers or commercial brokers who may be able to provide additional insights on parties that could be interested in building around the new interchange and the market’s capacity to develop the properties surrounding the new interchange. Additionally, this Report does not account for any capacity limitations that could be encountered regarding the supply of electricity and gas to future developments.

As recommended by ZacTax, staff requests City Council authorize staff to initiate a second phase of this study to explore the potential options to encourage more fiscally sustainable development patterns, especially within 1.0 to 2.0 miles of the new interchange. This study would consider things like potential alternative land use assumptions, changes to building standards, and changes to infrastructure maintenance and replacement schedules. As proposals and plans to develop property Tulare City Council Page 8 of 9
Agenda Memo - July 2, 2024
surrounding the new interchange are presented to the City, staff concurs with ZacTax’s recommendation that the City complete an updated fiscal impact for each development.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Source(s): There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Legal Review: This item does not require legal review.

Alternative Action: 1) Approve with changes; 2) Deny; or 3) Table.

9.2 Amendment to Subdivision Agreement Final Map of Farrar Estates Phase 2.

Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to execute the first amendment to the subdivision agreement for the final map of Farrar Estates Phase 2. [M. Miller] Summary: Planning Commission Resolution No. 5355, adopted on December 23, 2019, approved the tentative map for the Farrar Estates subdivision located on the north side of Tulare Avenue (State Route 137) west of Morrison Street and along the west side of Morrison Street north of Tulare Avenue. The overall subdivision comprises approximately 76.5 acres and is being developed in four phases. In the traffic impact studies prepared for the project, improvements to the intersection of Tulare Avenue and Morrison Street were identified as necessary to mitigate project impacts. An Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) Study was subsequently required by Caltrans to determine the type of intersection improvement to be implemented. The ICE Study identified that construction of a roundabout was the preferred improvement alternative.

In the City of Tulare’s adopted 2020 Development Impact Fee Program, a traffic signal had been identified as the anticipated intersection improvement for the intersection of Tulare Avenue and Morrison Street, and the estimated cost of a traffic signal ($350,000) was incorporated into the resulting fee schedule. Recognizing that the higher costs associated with construction of a roundabout at the intersection would result in a significant funding shortfall and burden on the Farrar Estates development, Caltrans offered to partner with the City of Tulare to provide $1.25 million of State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP) funding to help offset the higher costs. To facilitate this funding, it was necessary for the City to undertake construction of the roundabout as a City project and to enter into a cooperative agreement with Caltrans.

This cooperative agreement was approved by City Council on January 17, 2023. It is now necessary for the City to enter into an agreement with Woodside 06N, LP, the Developer of the Farrar Estates subdivision, to secure their participation in the funding of the roundabout construction and to memorialize the terms, conditions, and responsibilities of each party as related to said construction. The attached “First Amendment to Subdivision Agreement Final Map of Farrar Estates Phase 2” was prepared by the City Attorney, has been executed by the Developer, and is presented to City Council for approval and authorization for the City Manager to execute on the City’s behalf.

Submitted by: Shonna Oneal, Human Resources Director
Agenda Title: Deny Application for Permission to Present Late Claim

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Deny Application for Permission to Present Late Claim for damages filed June 18, 2024, by Attorney Megan Koster on behalf of claimant Annamarie Isabel Cortez, FR102209/22937.

SUMMARY
On June 18, 2024, the City was served with an application for permission to present late claims by Annamarie Isabel Cortez pursuant to Government Code §911.6(b)(4). Annamarie Isabel Cortez alleges she was injured by a dog when she entered the property located at 933 E. Sonora Avenue, Tulare, California on July 19, 2023. Claimant is requesting permission to present a late claim pursuant to Government Code §911.6(b)(4) and §911.6(b)(2) alleging the reason for delay was:
• A person who sustained the alleged injury, damage, or loss was physically or mentally incapacitated during all time specified in 911.2; and
• The reason for delay was due to mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect since claimant retained her legal counsel on May 14, 2024, after the six-month period.

Government Code §911.6(b)(2) states that the board (Council) shall grant a late claim application under certain circumstance. However, no evidence substantiating that claimant was incapacitated during all times during the six-month period was presented and failure to retain an attorney in the specified time is not proper grounds to grant relief. “([A] a mere lack of knowledge of the claim-filing requirements and its time limitation is insufficient.” El Dorado Irrig.

Dist. v Superior Court (1979) 98 CA3d 57, 62. It is recommended the permission to present a late claim be denied.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCES
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Salt + Light for meal delivery service to the Tulare Cares Temporary Encampment, subject only to minor conforming and clarifying changes acceptable to the City Attorney and the City Manager.

SUMMARY
In January 2023, the City opened the Tulare Cares Temporary Homeless Encampment to provide a safe and humane area for the homeless community to live until the permanent shelter is complete.

In June 2023, the City executed a one-year service agreement with Salt + Light Works (Salt + Light) to provide daily food service of one meal for the guests at the Tulare Cares Temporary Encampment. In response, Salt + Light created the Everyone Eats Today program to provide food for the homeless community. The total cost of the agreement was $20,800.00, which expired on June 30, 2024.

Given that the current contract for the provision of this service has expired, the attached proposal includes providing meals and palliative care items to the Encampment Resolution Area (Tulare Cares Temporary Encampment) seven days a week. They will create and maintain a schedule in order to ensure consistent meal service. They will also be working with local restaurants, churches, and other organizations to provide this service.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCES
If approved, the meal delivery service will be paid through the 601-4601-7301 fund.

Service Provider shall be liable for default unless nonperformance is caused by an occurrence beyond the reasonable control of Service Provider and without its fault or negligence such as, acts of God or the public enemy, acts of City in its contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, unusually severe weather, and delays of common carriers. Service Provider shall notify Administrator in writing as soon as it is reasonably possible after the commencement of any excusable delay, setting forth the full particulars in connection therewith, and shall remedy such occurrence with all reasonable efforts, and shall promptly give written notice to Administrator of the cessation of such occurrence.

It is further mutually understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto that inasmuch as Service Provider represents to City that Service Provider and its subcontractors, if any, are skilled in the profession and shall perform in accordance with the standards of said industry necessary to perform the services agreed to be done by it under this Agreement, City relies upon the skill of Service Provider and its subcontractors, if any, to do and perform such services in a skillful manner and Service Provider agrees to thus perform the services and require the same of any subcontractors. Therefore, any acceptance of such services by City shall not operate as a release of Service Provider or any subcontractors from said industry and professional standards.

7. Indemnification. To the furthest extent allowed by law, Service Provider shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend City and each of its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers from any and all loss, liability, fines, penalties, forfeitures, costs and damages (whether in contract, tort or strict liability, including but not limited to personal injury, death at any time and property damage), and from any and all claims, demands and actions in law or equity (including reasonable attorney's fees and litigation expenses) that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of Service Provider, its principals, officers, employees, agents, or volunteers in the performance of this Agreement.

If a general aggregate limit applies, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to this project/location or the general aggregate limit shall be twice the required occurrence limit. Service Provider’s general liability policies shall be primary and shall not seek contribution from the City’s coverage, and be endorsed using Insurance Services Office form CG 20 10 (or equivalent) to provide that City and its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall be additional insureds under such policies. For construction projects, an endorsement providing completed operations coverage for the additional insured, ISO form CG 20 37 (or equivalent), is

7.4 Consent Page 8
Agreement For Services with Salt + Light Works 5
also required. Coverage shall contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of the City.

b. All Coverages shall be endorsed to state that coverage shall not be suspended, voided, cancelled, or reduced in limits except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice has been given to the City, except that ten (10) days’ prior written notice shall apply in the event of cancellation for nonpayment of premium. c. All self-insurance, self-insured retentions, and deductibles must be declared and approved by the City.
d. Evidence of Insurance - Prior to commencement of work, the Service Provider shall furnish the City with certificates, additional insured endorsements, and waivers of subrogation evidencing compliance with the insurance requirements above. The Service Provider must agree to provide complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies if requested by the City.
e. Acceptability of Insurers - Insurance shall be placed with insurers admitted in the State of California and with an AM Best rating of A- VII or higher. f. Subcontractors and Consultants - A category of risk and the applicable insurance requirements will be determined on a “per subcontractor” or “per consultant” basis, considering the particular work to be done by the subcontractor or consultant and the interrelationship of that work to other work being conducted by the Service Provider.
g. The required policies of insurance shall maintain limits of liability of not less than those amounts stated herein. However, the insurance limits available to City, its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers as additional insureds, shall be the greater of the minimum limits specified therein or the full limit of any insurance proceeds to the named insured.

No action taken by City pursuant to this section shall in any way relieve Service Provider of its responsibilities under this Agreement. The phrase “fail to maintain any required insurance” shall include, without limitation, notification received by City that an insurer has commenced proceedings, or has had proceedings commenced against it, indicating that the insurer is insolvent.
i. The fact that insurance is obtained by Service Provider shall not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of Service Provider, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement. The duty to indemnify City shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by Service Provider. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of Service Provider, its principals, officers, agents, employees, or persons under the supervision of Service Provider, vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, sub-consultants, subcontractors, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.

Agenda Title: Accept and Appropriate Federal Earmark for Construction of Homeless Shelter

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution accepting a federal earmark for $1,500,000 to fund a portion of the construction costs of a homeless shelter (Project FM-0048); authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute all agreements and other documents necessary to receive the funds; and authorizing establishment of General Fund CIP Fund appropriation(s) of $1,500,000 and a corresponding revenue budget.

SUMMARY
Homelessness is a complex issue impacting many individuals and communities, including the Central Valley. It occurs for a myriad of reasons, which can vary significantly from individual to individual, such as unaffordable housing costs, trauma, loss of employment, underemployment, abandonment, or choice. Many of the homeless are chronically unhoused due to barriers against sustaining housing, like untreated mental illness, addiction, or criminal record.

Homeless persons may face several challenges, including, but not limited to, unsanitary living conditions, exposure to severe weather, limited access to health care and food, and safety issues including potential exposure to violence. And communities must deal with the outward appearance and impacts of homelessness, such as panhandling, impeding of access to public amenities, crime, safety concerns, public health concerns, accumulation of garbage, and visual blight.

In January 2022, the Kings Tulare Homeless Alliance conducted its 2022 Point in Time (PIT) count of the number of people experiencing sheltered and unsheltered homelessness in Tulare and Kings Counties, with volunteers canvassing locations where people experiencing homelessness are known to regularly congregate, i.e., encampments, libraries, food distribution sites, etc. The PIT count results indicated 212 people were homeless in the City of Tulare, an increase of 190% since 2012, with 69 people considered to be chronically homeless. In the County, 922 people in Tulare County found to be homeless, 258 of whom were considered chronically homeless.

Of the 212 homeless persons in Tulare, 148 slept in an unsheltered location, 33 in an emergency shelter, and 31 in transitional housing. The greatest percentage of those experiencing homeless were ages 35-44 (27%) and 45-54 (30%). Children under the age of 18 represented 4%. The most prevalent reported barriers to housing were mental illness and substance abuse.

Item #: 7.5

7.5 Consent Page 1
Over the past several years, the City has been discussing the issue of homelessness, its impacts on the community, and possible solutions.

On May 17, 2022, the City Council approved a conceptual plan, project phasing, potential lease options, and an operational plan for an emergency homeless shelter, which includes partnering with Tulare County to design, construct, and operate the shelter on vacant land owned by the County at the Tulare County Health and Human Services facility property along East O’Neal Avenue, east of K Street. On July 19, 2022, the City Council approved a design contract with 4 Creeks, Inc. for the site development and construction of a City homeless shelter.

The Tulare Homeless Shelter will comprise a 20,000 square foot main shelter building; 16 modular units, providing a total of 32 rooms in a modular village setting; restroom and shower facilities; 3 modular buildings, housing administrative and counseling operations, a food pantry and service area, laundry facilities, and classroom/training space; dog kennels; and secure storage containers. Improvements necessary for development of the campus include extension of sewer, water, and storm drainage utilities; dry utilities; public street frontage improvements; perimeter fencing; parking lot; trash bin enclosure; lighting and video surveillance systems; and other ancillary facilities necessary to support shelter operations.

Construction of the Tulare Homeless Shelter is anticipated to begin in Fall 2024 with completion of the facility by Fall 2025. The estimated cost to complete construction is $6.8 million.

On December 29, 2022, the President of the United States signed into law HR 2617 – Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-328), which includes a $1.5 million earmark for the City for construction of the shelter.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCES
No City match is required to receive the funds, and accepting the funds will reduce the impact of the cost to the General Fund for construction of the Tulare Homeless Shelter by $1.5 million.

The project proponents are requesting to annex and subdivide an approximately 39.26-acre site. The project site is full encompassed by the existing City limit boundary and is considered an unincorporated County Island. The project site currently consists of vacant land that has formerly been used for agriculture. The proposed annexation represents an orderly expansion of the City limits and resolves the previous creation of an island. The project also includes a request to detach from the Tulare Irrigation District and County Service Area No. 1. Staff has reviewed the proposed annexation and determined it to be consistent with Chapter 10.26 – Annexations, of the City of Tulare Municipal Code.

Cities are allowed to approve tentative maps prior to annexation but may not approve the final subdivision map until after the land is annexed. The Tulare County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) will need to approve and record the annexation prior to the map being effective. Following the approval of a resolution of application by the City Council, the applicant will be required to submit an application to LAFCO in order to initiate annexation proceedings.

Item #: 8.1
Public Hearing

8.1 Public Hearing Page 1
Zone Amendment
The subject property is currently subject to the zoning designation established by the County of Tulare. Upon annexation, the project proponents are proposing to establish the underlying zoning designation as R-1-4 (Small-lot Residential). The proposed R-1-4 zoning designation is consistent with the existing Low Density Residential land use designation.

Environmental
An Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for this project for public review pursuant to provisions of the Public Resources Code, State of California, Section 21000 to 21177 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City of Tulare was the lead agency on the preparation of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. A notice of Public Hearing for the project, and the Notice of Intent to Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration was published on April 23, 2024.

Two comment letters were received during the public review period of the circulated CEQA document. Comment letters were received from the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC).

Comments provided by the SJVAPCD discussed the District’s recommendation that the Project proponent perform a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) to evaluate the potential health risk to nearby residents and workers created by emissions output from construction equipment during construction of the project. In response to the air district’s comments the project proponent revised CalEEMod emissions modeling to better reflect the Project’s parameters and completed a prioritization screening and provided a prioritization score for the project. A prioritization score between 0 and less than 10 would not be required to perform a HRA and would be a less than significant impact. The prioritization screening indicated that the Project’s maximum prioritization score was 9.24, therefore an HRA is not required and impacts to sensitive receptors from the Project would be less than significant.

Comments from DTSC discussed the possibility for the need of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment. The applicant has completed a Phase I assessment and provided it to City staff.

The comments provided by DTSC and SJVAPCD have been provided (attached) and as appendix E to the IS/MND prepared for the project. The response to comments prepared for the SJVAPCD comments have been provided (attached) and as appendix F to the IS/MND.

The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment has been provided as appendix G to the IS/MND.

On June 10, 2024, the Planning Commission voted 4-0 (with one seat vacant) to recommend that the City Council approve Annexation No. 2023-01 (East Tulare No. 37 – Mission Creek), Zone Amendment No. 751, and adoption of the Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration approved for the project.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCE(S)
The proposed action will not have any immediate financial impact. As future development occurs, payment of entitlement, building permit, development impact fees, etc. will be required.

It is recommended that future action be taken to amend the City’s development impact fee program to add longer term infrastructure improvements specifically related to traffic to the program.

Staff Report
Meeting: City Council
Date: July 2, 2024
Department: Economic Development & Redevelopment
Submitted by: Traci Myers, Executive Director of Economic Development & Redevelopment
Agenda Title: Highway 99 Interchange Study and Land Use Assumptions Phase I Final Report

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and accept the City of Tulare Highway 99 Interchange Study and Land Use Assumptions Phase I Final Report as prepared by Eight20 Consulting dba ZacTax; and authorize staff to initiate Phase II to explore potential options to encourage fiscally sustainable development patterns at and around the new Interchange.

SUMMARY
In January 2024, the City of Tulare entered into a contract with Eight20 Consulting dba ZacTax for the purpose of analyzing development patterns at key interchanges along Highway 99 and to provide a report outlining land use assumptions and economic impacts at these defined interchanges.

As a result, ZacTax analyzed development patterns across five interchanges located along Highway 99 and used the insights from that process to approximate how the areas surrounding the new interchange in Tulare could develop given the City’s current land use plans, building standards, and costs to provide basic services and infrastructure. The initial results from the fiscal impact are intended to provide a picture of what could happen if the City of Tulare were to take a more passive approach regarding development surrounding the new interchange.

In the attached Report, you will find brief summaries of the (1) key assumptions that drive the fiscal impact, (2) the results of the fiscal impact study, (3) additional points to consider, and (4) key recommendations. The Report does not incorporate input from developers or commercial brokers who may be able to provide additional insights on parties that could be interested in building around the new interchange and the market’s capacity to develop the properties surrounding the new interchange. Additionally, this Report does not account for any capacity limitations that could be encountered regarding the supply of electricity and gas to future developments.

As recommended by ZacTax, staff requests City Council authorize staff to initiate a second phase of this study to explore the potential options to encourage more fiscally sustainable development patterns, especially within 1.0 to 2.0 miles of the new interchange. This study would consider things like potential alternative land use assumptions, changes to building standards, and changes to infrastructure maintenance and replacement schedules. As proposals and plans to develop property surrounding the new interchange are presented to the City, staff concurs with ZacTax’s recommendation that the City complete an updated fiscal impact for each development.

About Us
The City of Tulare has chosen ZacTax to analyze the potential impacts of future developments within a two-mile radius of the new interchange under construction at Hwy 99 and the International Agri-Center in Tulare, California. This analysis will compare the development patterns of five similar but fully developed interchanges along Hwy 99 in various counties.

Although the new interchange will not develop in exactly the same way as the five selected interchanges, this comparison will help the City identify necessary land uses and infrastructure investments for planning purposes, ensuring optimal development opportunities.

0.5 miles Land Use Assumptions
(Residential buildout is based on the City of Tulare’s Adopted General Plan’s max number of dwelling units per future land use type and non-residential is based on the current average floor area ratio) Within a 0.5-mile radius of the Tulare Interchange, there has been no growth since 2014. By calculating the current floor area ratio and analyzing growth trends from the Elk Grove Interchange, we projected growth over the next 10 to 15 years (~80% buildout). Due to data constraints, Sacramento County, where Elk Grove is located, was the only county for which ZacTax could obtain year-built data to calculate these trends. Although Elk Grove has more residential areas within 0.5 miles, we adjusted the growth trends to reflect Tulare’s profile accurately. The service and residential category remains at zero since there are currently no such uses within 0.5 miles, and the Tulare General Plan, adopted in 2014, does not foresee any residential or service uses in the future.

Fiscal Insights for Future Growth
Proper planning and fiscal analysis can help fuel and accelerate fiscally sustainable development patterns.

With this initial study, we have analyzed development patterns across five (5) interchanges located along Highway 99 and used the insights from that process to approximate how the areas surrounding the new interchange in Tulare could develop given the City’s current land use plans, building standards, and costs to provide basic services and infrastructure. The initial results from the fiscal impact are intended to provide a picture of what could happen if the City of Tulare were to take a more passive approach regarding development surrounding the new interchange.

Discussed in the following pages you will find brief summaries of the (1) key assumptions that drive the fiscal impact, (2) the results of the fiscal impact study, (3) additional points to consider, and (4) key recommendations.
42 9.1 General Business Page 47

1. Key Assumptions
• Based on the available data for the comparison interchanges, the study assumes that the areas around the new interchange could see rapid periods of growth until the surrounding area is approximately 80% built out. It is anticipated that it could take 10-15 years to reach 80% buildout within a 0.5 mile radius of Tulare’s new interchange and between 20-30 years to reach 100% buildout. It is anticipated that the buildout timeline will increase the further a property is from the new interchange. For example, the comparison interchanges located in Manteca and Stockton still contain large portions of undeveloped land between the 1.0 mile and 2.0 mile radius of the subject interchanges.
• Future growth is projected based on the City’s current land use plan. • Taking a conservative approach, revenue projections are based on typical or average businesses located within the retail, general commercial, and industrial categories. Actual tax revenues can vary depending on the specific businesses that eventually locate within the 2.0 mile radius. 43 9.1 General Business Page 48

2. Fiscal Impact Results
• Based on the City’s current land use plans, it appears that future development within 1.0 mile of the new interchange will produce a net positive fiscal impact, meaning that the revenues generated from that area will exceed the anticipated costs to provide basic services. • Given the City’s current land use plans and other assumptions in this study, it appears that development within the 1.0 mile to 2.0 mile radius could create a net negative fiscal impact if the City were to take a passive approach regarding its development. 44 9.1 General Business Page 49

3. Additional Points to Consider
• This study does not incorporate input from developers or commercial brokers who may be able to provide additional insights on parties that could be interested in building around the new interchange and the market’s capacity to develop the properties surrounding the new interchange. • This study does not account for any capacity limitations that could be encountered regarding the supply of electricity and gas to future developments.
• For future growth, it's expected that the cost of providing services to some developments and annexations may exceed the revenues generated from those areas. In such cases, ZacTax believes it's crucial to consider not just the fiscal impact but also the quality of life and other key factors that contribute to a thriving community. In short, with proper planning, the impact of developments that generate a net negative fiscal impact can be offset by developments that generate a net positive fiscal impact.
• Updating the assumptions used in the fiscal impact could alter the results. For example, to make the

1.0 mile to 2.0 mile radius more fiscally sustainable the City could look at things like updating its future land use plans, changing its building standards, and or adjusting its standards for infrastructure maintenance and replacement.
45 9.1 General Business Page 50

4. Key Recommendations
• ZacTax recommends that the City initiate a second phase of this study to explore the potential options to encourage more fiscally sustainable development patterns, especially within 1.0 to 2.0 miles of the new interchange. This study would consider things like potential alternative land use assumptions, changes to building standards, and changes to infrastructure maintenance and replacement schedules.
• As proposals and plans to develop property surrounding the new interchange are presented to the City, ZacTax recommends that the City complete an updated fiscal impact for each development. 46 9.1 General Business Page 51

General Key Takeaways
51 New retail construction is expected to be the key driver in the future sustainability for development within a

0.5 mile radius of the intersection. Based on the current assumptions, retail properties within this area would bring in approximately $1.7 million annually in new tax revenues for the City more than offsetting the $1.3 million increase in the projected costs for providing City services to the area. 0 - 0.5 Miles
A mix of primarily retail, commercial, and industrial construction is expected to produce growth in General Fund revenues that is expected to exceed the growth in the costs to service this area by almost $2.3 million annually.

0.5 - 1 Mile
This area is estimated to have a current net negative fiscal impact of $7.6 million annually. At 80% buildout the net negative impact is anticipated to be around $11.3 million annually. Residential land uses, by building square feet, currently make up about 66% of all land uses in the area. In the future that is expected to decrease to about 24%. Commercial and industrial land uses currently comprise about 30% of the area and are expected to grow to about 74% at 80% buildout. In the current and future scenario this area has a small portion of retail land use, which limits sales and use tax revenues. It is possible that adjusting future land use plans to contain more retail could help to make this area more fiscally sustainable in the long run. 1 - 2 Miles
The anticipated negative fiscal impact from the 1.0 mile to 2.0 miles area, is projected to overtake the positive fiscal impacts from projected development within the 0.0 mile to 1.0 mile range. To improve these results, the city can look at adjusting land use plan, updating building standards, or adjusting standards for infrastructure maintenance and replacement.

• Annual Sewer M&O: Within the 0 - 0.5 miles sewer lines will grow from 3.07 linear miles to 6.11 linear miles based on the city's current proportion of linear road miles to sewer lines
• Annual Water & Sewer Revenues: Current based on actual service charge revenue. Due to Proposition 218 restrictions, future revenues are tied to future expenses to meet cost recovery requirements.

OVERALL:

Demands on the utility systems can vary widely based on the specific needs of new businesses. However, due to Proposition 218 and the City’s current rate setting process, over the long-run rates will be adjusted to ensure proper cost recovery for all costs associated with operating and maintaining the City’s utility systems.

Agenda Title: Amendment to Subdivision Agreement Final Map of Farrar Estates Phase 2

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute the first amendment to the subdivision agreement for the final map of Farrar Estates Phase 2.

SUMMARY
Planning Commission Resolution No. 5355, adopted on December 23, 2019, approved the tentative map for the Farrar Estates subdivision located on the north side of Tulare Avenue (State Route 137) west of Morrison Street and along the west side of Morrison Street north of Tulare Avenue. The overall subdivision comprises approximately 76.5 acres and is being developed in four phases. In the traffic impact studies prepared for the project, improvements to the intersection of Tulare Avenue and Morrison Street were identified as necessary to mitigate project impacts. An Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) Study was subsequently required by Caltrans to determine the type of intersection improvement to be implemented.

The ICE Study identified that construction of a roundabout was the preferred improvement alternative.

In the City of Tulare’s adopted 2020 Development Impact Fee Program, a traffic signal had been identified as the anticipated intersection improvement for the intersection of Tulare Avenue and Morrison Street, and the estimated cost of a traffic signal ($350,000) was incorporated into the resulting fee schedule. Recognizing that the higher costs associated with construction of a roundabout at the intersection would result in a significant funding shortfall and burden on the Farrar Estates development, Caltrans offered to partner with the City of Tulare to provide $1.25 million of State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP) funding to help offset the higher costs. To facilitate this funding, it was necessary for the City to undertake construction of the roundabout as a City project and to enter into a cooperative agreement with Caltrans. This cooperative agreement was approved by City Council on January 17, 2023. It is now necessary for the City to enter into an agreement with Woodside 06N, LP, the Developer of the Farrar Estates subdivision, to secure their participation in the funding of the roundabout construction and to memorialize the terms, conditions, and responsibilities of each party as related to said construction. The attached “First Amendment to Subdivision Agreement Final Map of Farrar Estates Phase 2” was prepared by the City Attorney, has been executed by the Developer, and is presented to City Council for approval and authorization for the City Manager to execute on the City’s behalf.

The proposed agreement incorporates findings of the traffic studies prepared for the Farrar Estates subdivision; specifically, that by limiting access to the development to the intersection of Tulare Avenue and Hazeltine Street, a maximum of 170 new homes can be occupied prior to completion of the Tulare Avenue/Morrison Street improvements. Two local street Item #: 9.2
General Business

9.2 General Business Page 1
connections to Morrison Street will be opened to traffic upon completion of the improvements, and restrictions on home occupancies related to the improvements will be lifted.

The construction contracts for Capital Improvement Project No. EN0103 - Tulare Avenue/Morrison Street Roundabout were awarded at the June 18, 2024 City Council Meeting.

It is anticipated that construction activities will commence in late July.

FISCAL IMPACT & FUNDING SOURCES
CIP Project No. EN0103 will utilize a combination of development impact fees (State Highway Category), Caltrans SHOPP funds, and funding from the developer of the Farrar Estates subdivision.

Fund 245 – State Highway DIF
Fund TBD – Caltrans SHOPP
Fund TBD – Developer Share

LEGAL REVIEW
The attached “First Amendment to Subdivision Agreement Final Map of Farrar Estates Phase 2” has been prepared by the City Attorney.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

1. Approve with changes – Staff would work to incorporate any changes or recommendations directed by Council, which would also be subject to Developer review and approval.

2. Deny – An agreement between the City and the Developer of the Farrar Estates subdivision is necessary to memorialize the terms, conditions and responsibilities of each party as related to construction of City Capital Improvement Program Project EN0103 – Tulare Avenue/Morrison Street Roundabout.

3. Table – The construction contracts for Project EN0103 have been awarded. It is recommended that an agreement between the City and the Developer of the Farrar Estates project be fully executed in advance of any construction activities commencing.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO

SUBDIVISION AGREEMENT
FINAL MAP OF FARRAR ESTATES PHASE 2
This "First Amendment to Subdivision Agreement Final Map of Farrar Estates Phase 2" (the "Amendment") is entered into as of
-,2024,
by and between the City of
Tulare, a municipal corporation and charter city (the "City") and Woodside 06N, LP, a California limited partnership ("Woodside"). The City and Woodside are referred to within this Amendment individually as a "Party" and jointly as the "Parties."

RECITALS
A. Woodside is the developer of property within the City commonly identified as "Farrar Estates."
B. pursuant to Planning Commission Resolution No. 5355 ("PC 5355"), Tentative Parcel Map No. 5279 was approved for the entirety of Farrar Estates on December 23,2019 (the "Tentative Map"). The development of the Project as a whole is referred to within this Amendment as the "Project'"
C. The approved Tentative Map contains four lettered parcels: A, B, C, and D' Phased final maps have been recorded for Parcels A and B'
D. This Amendment pertains to Parcel B of the Tentative Map (the "Property")' The Property will be developed as Phase 2 of the Farrar Estates development ("Phase 2") and is legally described as follows:

PARCEL B OF PARCEL MAP NO. 5279, RECORDED MARCH L8, 2O2O, IN BOOK 53 OF PARCEL MAPS, AT PAGE 86, TULARE COUNTY RECORDS.

E. Subsequentto the approvalof the Tentative Map, the City Council approved a phased final map for parcel A ("Phase 1"). On July 18, 2O23, a phased final map for Phase 2 was approved by the City Council (the "Phase 2 Final Map"). The Phase 2 Final Map was recorded on December 6,2}23,as Document No. 2023-0058289 in Volume 45 of Maps at Page 18, Tulare County Records.

F. After approval of Phase L, Woodside and the City entered into a series of subdivision improvement agreements for both Phase L and Phase 2 (the "Prior SlAs")' The Prior SlAs include the "subdivision Agreement Final Map of Farrar Estates Phase 2" dated September 5, 2A23 (the "Phase 2 SlA").

G. The phase 2 SIA addresses the construction of improvements to the intersection of Tulare Avenue (State Route 137) and Morrison Street (the "Tulare/Morrison lmprovements"), consistent with the conditions of approval of the Tentative Map. One of those conditions of approvals requires Woodside to construct or cause the construction of the improvements to the intersection of Tulare Avenue (State Route 137) and Morrison Street' H. The phase 2 SIA acknowledges that the timing of the construction of the Tulare/Morrison lmprovements is dependent upon the review and approval of the plans and specifications 2 9.2 General Business Page 4
for those improvements by the State Department of Transportation {"Caltrans"), which has taken longer than originally expected due primarily to changes in Caltrans' design concept for those improvements.

L On or about january !g,2023, before the Phase 2 Final Map was approved and recorded, the City and Caltrans entered into a "Cooperative Agreement" related to the construction and funding of the Tulare/Morrison lmprovements, now consisting of a roundabout on Route L37 atthe intersection of Tulare Avenue and Morrison Street. Woodside is not a party to the Cooperative Agreement. A copy of the Cooperative Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1,.

J. The scope of the work to be performed to complete the Tulare/Morrison lmprovements is set forth on the 'Tulare lmprovement Plans" accepted for Encroachment Permit No' 0623- NOP-LL55 by Ernesto Garcia on Decemb er 4,2023 (the "Approved Plans").

K. The scope of the design of the Tulare/Morrison lmprovements as set forth in the Approved plans differs from that originally required as a condition of approval of the Tentative Map and includes construction which will mitigate significant environmental impacts exceeding those caused by the Project'
L. The parties expect that the full cost of the Tulare/Morrison lmprovements as described in the Approved Plans (the "Approved Costs") will be approximately $1,600,000, References to the "Approved Costs" are meant to refer only to improvement costs within the scope of the Approved Plans, unless otherwise approved in writing by woodside.

M. The project is subject to the payment of "DlF Fees" to the City under the City's Development lmpact Fee program. Section 8.56.140 of the Tulare Municipal Code provides for in-lieu fee credits and/or reimbursement in ceftain instances, includingthose where a developer incurs costs for facilities constructed which will mitigate significant environmental impacts exceeding those caused by the Projects. This Amendment will memorialize the calculation of the Transportation DIF Fees for the Project based upon the applicable provisions of the Tulare Municipal Code.

N. The "second Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration" for the Project (the "second Addendum") establishes that with the temporary closure of Pine Valley Avenue and Copperhead Avenue within the Project to preclude Project access to and from Morrison Street (the "Temporary Closure") until the completion of the Tulare/Morrison lmprovements, "the intersection of Hazeltine Street at Tulare Avenue can safely support up to 170 homes of the project as the sole project access in addition to the traffic that it currently facilitates," The Second Addendum indicates that the Temporary Closure will maintain a Level of Service "C" fot those L70 homes, which exceeds the General Plan goal of LOS 'D." An analysis of how many homes can be accommodated by the Temporary Closure while still complying with the General Plan goal has not yet been performed. o. In addition to providingthe manner in which Woodside will satisfy its obligation to construct or cause the construction of the Tulare/Morrison lmprovements, this Amendment memorializes the Parties' agreement as to the manner in which Woodside will satisfy its DIF Fees obligation.

9.2 General Business Page 5
p. ln Iight of (i) Caltrans' evolving concept for the Tulare/Morrison lmprovements and (ii) its timing in reviewing and approving the Tulare/Morrison lmprovements, and consistent with the City's preparation and review of additional analysis of potential traffic impacts, the City and Woodside desire to clarify Woodside's obligations with respect to the Tulare/Morrison lmprovements by entering into this Amendment.

The Parties agree as follows:

1. lncorporation of Recitals and Exhibits. The Recitals above and all attached and numbered "Exhibits" to this Amendment are incorporated as a substantive part of this Amendment.

2. Supersedes Prior SlAs. This Amendment is intended to ful ly define Woodside's rights and obligations with respect to the funding and construction of the TularefMorrison lmprovements. This Amendment shall:
a. Amend the Phase 2 SIA as it relates in any manner to the Tulare/Morrison lmprovements including, but not limited to, (i) the timing, funding, and/or construction of the SlAs and/or (ii) limitations upon the construction, completion, and occupancy of ' residential units, infrastructure, or other components of the Project based upon the construction and/or completion of the Tulare/Morrison lmprovements, To the extent of any conflict with the Phase 2 SIA or any ambiguity arising with respect to the Phase 2 SlA, the provisions of this Amendment shall prevail. The term "lmprovements" in the Phase 2 SIA shall no longer include traffic signal improvements to the Tulare/Morrison intersection; rather, the lmprovements shall include a roundabout at that intersection.

Except as so provided, the provisions of the Phase 2 SIA remain in effect. b. Supersede any provision of the Phase 1 SIA that addresses the timing, funding, and/or construction of the Tulare/Morrison lmprovements and/or the obligations of Woodside with respect to those Tulare/Morrison lmprovements'
This Amendment amends onlythe Phase 2 SIA and does not modify any discretionary approvals (including their respective conditions of approval) for the Project.

The funding Process. The process for the funding of the Tulare/Morrison lmprovements is as follows (the "Funding Process"):
a. Consistent with the Cooperative Agreement and to satisfy Woodside's requirement to consluct or cause the Tulare/Morrison lmprovements to be constructed:
i, The City shall have management responsibility for selecting, contracting with, and supervising all contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, consultants, and others required to perform and complete construction of the Tu la re/Morrison I m p roveme nts (co ll ectively, "Vendors" ). ii.

(Note: Should an invoice be received by the City, 4 3

9.2 General Business Page 6
but not on a monthly basis, that invoice nonetheless shall be considered a "Vendor lnvoice" for purpose of the following provisions of this Section 3.) b. For Vendor tnvoices presented to the City before Woodside has received total reimbursement of S1,250,000 pursuant to Section 3(b)(v) below:
i. After (i) reviewing a Vendor lnvoice for compliance with the applicable contract, construction industry billing standards, and the scope of the Approved Costs and (ii) deducting any charges not in compliance, the City shall send a copy of each Vendor lnvoice to Woodside within ten (10) calendar days after the City receives the Vendor lnvoice' ii. To assure timely payment to the Vendor, within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving a Vendor lnvoice from the City, Woodside shall pay the City the full amount of the Vendor lnvoice, less any amounts Woodside reasonably believes are not in compliance with the applicable contract, construction industry billing standards, and the scope of the Approved Costs (a "Woodside Payment"). When making a Woodside Payment, Woodside will provide the City with appropriate documentation and explanation of any amounts deducted.
iii. As soon as reasonably possible after receiving a Woodside Payment, the City shall, utilizing the funds received from Woodside, make payment to the Vendor to assure that the Vendor's work continues without unnecessary interruption; provided however, City shall not be obligated to pay any amount disputed by Woodside and for which Woodside withholds payment.
iv. Following its payment to the Vendor, and on a no less than monthly basis, the City will send Vendor lnvoices to Caltrans for payment pursuant to the Cooperative Agreement in order to obtain the funds needed to reimburse Woodside for Woodside's Payment (a "Caltrans Reimbursement"). v. Upon receipt of a Caltrans Reimbursement, the City shall send to Woodside the full amount of the caltrans Reimbursement received by the city. c. For Vendor lnvoices presented to the City after Woodside has received 51,250,000 in Caltrans Reimbursements pursuant to Section 3(bXv) above:
i. The City and Woodside will follow the same procedures as set forth in Section 3(b)(i) and 3(bXii), and 3(b)(iii) above.
ii. The procedures in Sections 3(b)(iv) and 3(bXv) shall not apply. d. Under no circumstance shall Woodside be responsible for any increase in the Approved Costs that is related to a change from the Approved Plans, whether through a change order or otherwise, unless the change and the increase have been approved in writing by Woodside before the change in the Approved Plans is authorized. Woodside shall approve change orders that are commercially reasonable under the circumstances. 5 9.2 General Business Page 7

4. Scop.e of Citt's Oblieations. The City's obligations under this Amendment are:

e. To manage the Funding Process consistent with the terms of this Amendment. f. ln calculatingthe Project's Transportation DIF Fee obligation, it is agreed that Woodside shall receive credit under the Tulare Municipal Code for the first 5350,000 in payments made to the City by Woodside under Section 3(c) above.
