1 EXHIBIT B
PAYMENT BY FORCE ACCOUNT
For work paid by force account, the City Engineer compares City’s records to Contractor’s daily force account work report. When the City Engineer and Contractor agree on the contents of the daily force account work reports, the City Engineer accepts the report and City pays for the work.
If the records differ, City pays for the work based only on the information shown on City’s records.
If a subcontractor performs work at force account, work paid at force account will be accepted at an additional 2 percent (2%) markup to the total cost of that work, including markups, as reimbursement for additional administrative costs. The markups specified in labor, materials, and equipment includes compensation for all delay costs, overhead costs, and profit. If an item's unit price is adjusted for work-character changes, City excludes Contractor’s cost of determining the adjustment. Payment for owner-operated labor and equipment is made at the market-priced invoice submitted.
A. Labor. Labor payment is full compensation for the cost of labor used in the direct performance of the work plus a fifteen percent (15%) markup, as set forth below, and consistent with California Labor Code section 1770 et seq. Force account labor payment consists of:
1. Employer payment to the worker for:
1.1 Basic hourly wage
1.2 Health and welfare
1.3 Pension
1.4 Vacation
1.5 Training
1.6 Other State and federal recognized fringe benefit payments
2. Labor surcharge percentage in Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates current during the work paid at force account for:
2.1 Workers' compensation insurance
2.2 Social security
2.3 Medicare
2.4 Federal unemployment insurance
2.5 State unemployment insurance
2.6 State training taxes
3. Subsistence and travel allowances paid to the workers
4. Employer payment to supervisors, if authorized
The fifteen percent (15%) markup consists of payment for all overhead costs related to labor but not designated as costs of labor used in the direct performance of the work including:
(a) Home office overhead
Contract Packet - 46 of 58
Docusign Envelope ID: E8811726-FB34-88B7-834C-A828C27F8F53
2 (b) Field office overhead
(c) Bond costs
(d) Profit
(e) Labor liability insurance
(f) Other fixed or administrative costs that are not costs of labor used in the direct performance of the work
B. Materials. Material payment is full compensation for materials the Contractor furnishes and uses in the work. The City Engineer determines the cost based on the material purchase price, including delivery charges, except:
1. A fifteen percent (15%) markup is added;
2. Supplier discounts are subtracted whether the Contractor takes them or not;
3. If the City Engineer believes the material purchase prices are excessive, City pays the lowest current wholesale price for a similar material quantity;
4. If Contractor procured the materials from a source Contractor wholly or partially own, the determined cost is based on the lower of the:
4.1 Price paid by the purchaser for similar materials from that source on Contract items; and
4.2 Current wholesale price for those materials;
5 If Contractor does not submit a material cost record within thirty (30) days of billing, the determined cost is based on the lowest wholesale price:
1.1 During that period
1.2 In the quantities used
C. Equipment Rental. Equipment rental payment is full compensation for:
1. Rental equipment costs, including moving rental equipment to and from the change order work site using its own power.
2. Transport equipment costs for rental equipment that cannot be transported economically using its own power. No payment is made during transport for the transported equipment.
3. Fifteen percent (15%) percent markup.
If Contractor wants to return the equipment to a location other than its original location, the payment to move the equipment must not exceed the cost of returning the equipment to its original location. If Contractor uses the equipment for work other than work paid by force account, the transportation cost is included in the other work.

3 Before moving or loading the equipment, Contractor must obtain authorization for the equipment rental's original location.
The City Engineer determines rental costs:
1. Using rates in Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates:
1.1. By classifying equipment using manufacturer's ratings and manufacturerapproved changes.
1.2. Current during the work paid by force account.
1.3. Regardless of equipment ownership but City uses the rental document rates or minimum rental cost terms if:
1.3.1. Rented from equipment business Contractor does not own.
1.3.2. The Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates hourly rate is $10.00 per hour or less.
2. Using rates established by the City Engineer for equipment not listed in Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates. Contractor may submit cost information that helps the City Engineer establish the rental rate but City uses the rental document rates or minimum rental cost terms if:
2.1. Rented from equipment business Contractor does not own.
2.2. The City Engineer establishes a rate of $10.00 per hour or less.
3. Using rates for transport equipment not exceeding the hourly rates charged by established haulers.

5. Small tools that are not consumed by use 11. Incidentals

The City Engineer may authorize rates in excess of those in the Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates if:
1. Contractor submits a request to use rented equipment
2. Equipment is not available from Contractor’s normal sources or from one of Contractor’s subcontractors
3. Rented equipment is from an independent rental company
4. Proposed equipment rental rate is reasonable

4 5. The City Engineer authorizes the equipment source and the rental rate before Contractor uses the equipment
D. Equipment on the Job Site. For equipment on the job site at the time required to perform work paid by force account, the time paid is the time:

2. To load and unload equipment
3. Equipment is operated to perform work paid by force account and:
3.1. Hourly rates are paid in 1/2-hour increments
3.2. Daily rates are paid in 1/2-day increments

City Council Staff Report
June 9, 2026
From: Christopher Fisher, Acting City Manager
Prepared by: James Governale, Management Analyst
Agendized by: Christopher Fisher, Acting City Manager
1. ACTION RECOMMENDED:
Resolution: Rescind Resolution 2002-073
Resolution: Approve a Citywide E-mail Policy
2. NARRATIVE:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving a Citywide E-mail Policy and adopt a separate resolution rescinding Resolution 2002-073.
Email Policy
City officials and staff regularly use various communication systems to transmit messages and documents inside and outside the organization. The most common of these systems is e-mail, which is used for routine communication with residents, vendors, other public agencies, and internal staff. Because e-mail is a communication tool and not a records management system, the City benefits from a consistent policy that provides direction on how e-mail should be managed, retained, stored, and reviewed.
The proposed policy is intended to clarify that retention requirements are based on the content of a communication, not the communication method used. Some e-mails may be official City records because they relate in a substantive way to the conduct of City business or are required to be retained under applicable law or the City’s records retention schedule.
Other e-mails may be transitory, preliminary, duplicative, or non-substantive communications that are not required to be retained. This distinction is important because it determines whether an e-mail must be preserved in accordance with the City’s records retention practices or may be deleted when it is no longer needed.
The proposed policy provides direction on several key items, including the following:
• E-mail should not be used as a records management system, and substantive e-mails should be saved or stored in the appropriate subject, project, or department file. • Retention is based on the content of the e-mail.
• E-mail communications remain subject to applicable City policies, including policies related to professional conduct, harassment, confidentiality, and appropriate use of City systems.
• E-mails that are not required to be retained may be deleted in accordance with the policy and the City’s records retention practices.
• City business should be conducted using City accounts and tools, and the policy provides procedures for preserving City records if personal accounts or devices are used.
Agenda Staff Report
6/9/2026
• Confidential e-mails must be handled appropriately, including communications that may be subject to attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product protection. • Litigation holds, claims, audits, investigations, and Public Records Act requests suspend normal deletion practices for responsive or relevant records. • The policy provides procedures for managing e-mail when an employee separates from or transfers within the organization.
The policy was developed in consultation with the Information Technology Department and using best practices provided by a consultant who advises California public agencies on records-related matters. The policy has also been reviewed by representatives from Human Relations, and the City Manager and City Attorney’s Offices, and is recommended for approval by the City Council.
The policy does not authorize the deletion of records required to be retained under law, the City’s records retention schedule, a litigation hold, an audit, an investigation, or a pending Public Records Act request. Rather, the policy establishes procedures for preserving records that must be retained and managing communications that are not required to be retained.
Adoption of the proposed policy will support consistent records management practices, improve operational efficiency and limitations on data storage capacity, assist with California Public Records Act compliance, and reduce the risk of inconsistent handling of e-mail across departments.
Resolution 2002-073
During staff’s review of records retention materials related to the proposed e-mail policy, staff identified an apparent error associated with the adoption of Resolution 2018-071.
Resolution 2018-071 rescinded Resolution 2002-173; however, Resolution 2002-173 does not appear to relate to records retention and instead appears to involve acceptance of a grant for the Police Department. Based on staff’s review, the resolution that was likely intended to be rescinded was Resolution 2002-073.
This appears to have been a clerical or administrative error. Staff recommends that the City Council rescind Resolution 2002-073 to correct the City’s records and align prior Council actions with the apparent intent of the 2018 action.
Approval of both resolutions is recommended to establish a clear Citywide e-mail policy and correct the City’s records regarding the prior records retention resolution.
3. FISCAL IMPACT / BUDGET AMENDMENT:
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with adoption of the proposed resolutions.
Implementation may require staff time for training, coordination, and configuration of e-mail retention settings, which can be absorbed within existing departmental budgets. No budget amendment is requested.
4. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This action is not subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA guidelines. This action consists
Agenda Staff Report
6/9/2026
of “organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment” and therefore is not considered a project.
5. ALTERNATIVES:
A. The Council could approve a modified version of the proposed policy. This alternative is not recommended unless the modifications are reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office and Information Technology to ensure consistency with applicable law, records retention practices, and system capabilities.
B. The Council could direct that the policy be considered administratively rather than by the City Council. This alternative is not recommended because the policy has Citywide operational implications and provides important direction regarding records management, e-mail retention, Public Records Act compliance, and public trust.
C. The Council could decline to approve the proposed policy and provide alternative direction to staff. This alternative is not recommended because the City would continue without clear Citywide direction regarding the management, retention, and deletion of e-mail communications.
D. The Council could decline to rescind Resolution 2002-073. This alternative is not recommended because staff has identified an apparent prior administrative error, and rescinding Resolution 2002-073 will correct and align the City’s records.

2. Draft Resolution - Email Policy
3. Resolution 2002-073 (to be rescinded)

CITY OF TURLOCK
CITY COUNCIL POLICY
POLICY TITLE: Email Policy
POLICY NUMBER: TBD
POLICY EFFECTIVE DATE: 06-09-2026
LAST REVISION: N/A
Electronic telecommunications systems (e-mail, text messages, voice mail, fax systems, etc.) are a media for transport of communication and are methods to send, receive, or temporarily store correspondence. Communications generated through these systems are not retained in the ordinary course of business and are subject to records retention policies.
This is the same manner in which paper mail is managed: Employees determine what is a record that needs to be retained pursuant to the City’s records retention schedule, what records are preliminary drafts, copies or non-records and then file, or dispose of the record based upon the City’s record retention policies and procedures.
To qualify as a public record under CPRA, at a minimum, a writing must relate in some substantive way to the conduct of the public’s business.1 The length of required retention of an e-mail, electronic, or paper record is determined based either (1) a state law requiring a specific retention period or (2) because it is necessary or convenient to the discharge of the public officer’s duties, and was made or retained for the purpose of preserving its informational content for future reference.2
E-mail is a business tool which will be used in accordance with generally accepted business practices and current law reflected in the California Public Records Act to provide an efficient and effective means of intra-agency and inter-agency communications.
These procedures apply to all employees, advisory body members, council members, contractors, interns, volunteers, and others when they are using City-provided electronic technology.
Users are solely responsible for the management of their mailboxes, just as they are their responsible for sorting through paper mail in their in-boxes from the US Post Office or inter-office memoranda. E-mail is not intended to serve as a records management system 1 City of San Jose v. Superior Court (Smith). S218066. Supreme Court of California, 2017 2 California Attorney General’s Opinion, 64 Ops. Cal. Atty. Gen. 317

and staff are discouraged from using it as such. E-mail in-boxes and out-boxes shall be emptied on a regular basis, after records have been appropriately saved, to preserve digital storage space and to maintain efficiency and transparency in City records as outlined below.
1. Official Records Are Saved and Stored in Subject / Project File Folders. Email messages which are intended to be retained in the ordinary course of the City's business are recognized as official records that need retention in accordance with the California law. Because the e-mail system is not designed for long term storage, e-mail communications which are intended to be retained as an official record (those that relate in a substantive way to the conduct of business, or those that ARE made or retained for the purpose of preserving the informational content for future reference) should be saved in an electronic subject / project folder.
2. Retention is Based on the Content of the E-mail. The City will maintain all email messages determined by staff to be official records (those that relate in a substantive way to the conduct of business, or that ARE made or retained for the purpose of preserving the informational content for future reference) for the period of time designated in the City's retention schedule, based upon the content of the e-mail,) by saving them electronically in a subject / project folder. i) CEQA / NEPA e-mails only: e-mail submitted to, or transferred from the agency, and all internal agency communications, including staff notes related to a non-exempt CEQA action are required to be retained until Completion of CEQA Process3.
(1) This does not include:
(a) “every e-mail and preliminary draft.”
(b) “e-mail equivalent to sticky notes, calendaring faxes, and social hallway conversations — that is, e-mails that do not provide insight into the project or the agency’s CEQA compliance with respect to the project — are not within the scope of section 21167.6, subdivision (e) and need not be retained to comply with section 21167.6.”
3. All City Policies Apply / Professional Communications. All City policies (e.g., harassment policies) apply to electronic media. Make sure all your communications are appropriate and are within City policy. Employees are to use professional, courteous communications, and to abide by all laws and City policies.
4. Deletion After Retention Requirements. E-mail communications that DO NOT relate in a substantive way to the conduct of business, or are NOT required to be retained by law nor by the City’s Records Retention policies, and were NOT made or retained for the purpose of preserving the informational content for future reference (preliminary drafts, notes, transitory correspondence, interagency or intra-agency memoranda not retained in the ordinary course of business,) will be deleted by employees as soon as they are no longer required. 3 Golden Door Properties, LLC v. Superior Court of San Diego County (County of San Diego, et al., Real Parties in Interest) (D076605, D076924, D076993) (4th Dist. 2020); PRC 21167,6

(3) Deleted Items (delete what remains after 90 days)
5. Archiving and “Auto-Archiving” of e-mails is prohibited, except where specifically authorized by the City for legal, retention, litigation hold, audit, investigation, or Public Records Act purposes.
For purposes of this section, “Archiving” and “Auto-Archiving” mean any manual or automated process that moves or stores e-mails from active mailbox folders into an archive folder, archive mailbox, personal storage file, offline file, or other separate storage location.
i) Employees shall NOT archive ALL e-mails they receive or send. ii) Archives should only contain e-mails that need to be retained for the purpose of preserving its informational content for future reference, and should be located in the appropriate subject / project file folder, consistent with this policy and the City’s records retention schedule.
iii) E-mail stored in archives that are responsive to a Public Records Act request must be searched and produced by employees.
6. Personal Devices / Personal Accounts / Text messages. The City discourages the use of Personal e-mail accounts, cell phones, or other personal devices to conduct City business except those authorized through the City’s Cell Phone Policy. If any of these are used to conduct City business:
i) E-mails, records, and/or text messages stored on personal devices or in personal accounts relating to the conduct of City business will be subject to the Public Records Act.
ii) In the event a request for such records is received, the City may require employees to locate all records responsive to such request, including any records stored on personal accounts or personal devices (unless an exemption applies.)
7. Forwarding E-mails. E-mails may only be sent or forwarded to appropriate persons that have a need to know the information to conduct City business.
8. Protection of Confidential E-mail. Write the word, “Confidential” on protected email. Do not “interfile” e-mail or other privileged correspondence from the City Attorney’s office with public documents (documents that are accessible to the public). These e-mails may be subject to the Attorney-Client and or the Attorney Work Product privileges, and the contents should not be disclosed without first checking with the City Attorney.
9. Litigation Holds / Other Types of Holds. E-mails subject to litigation (including a reasonable expectation of litigation,) claims, complaints, audits, records requests and/or investigations suspend normal retention periods (retention resumes after settlement or completion of the triggering hold).

10. Separation / Transfer of Employees.
i) The City’s technology systems must be set up to immediately disable a separated employee’s access to City e-mail and/or other technology. Human Relations and Information Technology shall ensure timely notifications of all employee separations.
ii) During separation, Human Relations will ensure employees:
(1) Forward any e-mails or text messages relating to City business stored on personal devices or personal accounts to their City e-mail account. (2) Employees are to close and/or remove any access to City e-mail or other technology systems from their personal devices.
iii) Information Technology shall ensure that the employee’s (former) Supervisor has access to the former employee’s e-mail account.

City Council Staff Report
June 9, 2026
From: Katie Quintero, Planning Manager
Prepared by: Katie Quintero, Planning Manager
Agendized by: Christopher Fisher, Acting City Manager
1. ACTION RECOMMENDED:
Ordinance: Amending terms and extending the Development Agreement between the City of Turlock and Evergreen Market dba FF Farms
2. NARRATIVE:
The Evergreen Market is located at 101 E. Glenwood Avenue. The property is zoned Community Commercial, which allows cannabis dispensaries with a Conditional Use Permit and Development Agreement.
At their February 28, 2023, meeting, the City Council adopted the ordinance approving the Development Agreement (DA). As required in the DA, The Evergreen Market applied for a Conditional Use Permit. The Planning Commission granted Conditional Use Permit 2022-07 at the April 6, 2023, public hearing, allowing The Evergreen Market to operate a cannabis dispensary in the existing 2,785 square foot building.
On March 31, 2024, Jose Rodrigues and the City of Turlock executed an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as allowed under Section 10.1 of the Development Agreement. The Assignment and Assumption Agreement allowed the sale, assignment, or transfer of The Evergreen Market at 101 E. Glenwood Avenue to Jose Rodrigues. All other conditions of the Conditional Use Permit and the Development Agreement remain unchanged.
Planning Department
A sign permit was issued for the signs on the building.
Evergreen Market dba FF Farms has complied with the requirements of the Planning Division.
Building Department
The Evergreen Market is in compliance with the requirements of the Building and Safety Division.
Finance Department
Business License
The Evergreen Market was issued a business license on August 1, 2024. Their business license is current and active. There are no outstanding issues.
Public Benefit Amount
The Development Agreement requires the monthly payment of a public benefit amount.
Section 4.2 of the Development Agreement details the public benefit amount that Evergreen Market must submit to the City on a monthly basis.
Agenda Staff Report
6/9/2026
The above public benefit amounts include a one-quarter percent (.25%) dollar amount dedicated to supporting the City of Turlock juvenile drug and alcohol treatment and rehabilitation programs.
The audits and compliance checks have been completed. Evergreen Market is in compliance with the Finance Department requirements. The public benefit amount that Evergreen Market has paid is detailed in the table below:
Fiscal Year Public Benefit
Payment
2020-21 N/A
2021-22 N/A
2022-23 N/A
2023-24 N/A
2024-25 $275,000.00
2025-26* $262,360.00
Total through 4/29/26 $537,360.00
*Through March 2026
Police Department
Calls for Service
In 2024, there were two calls for service (CFS). The landscaping crew set off an alarm when leaf blowing near the front doors. The other call for service was a false alarm set off by the business owner. Both calls were closed by the responding officer and did not result in a report or arrests.
Calls for service from January 1, 2025, through October 22, 2025, totaled two. Both calls were accidental alarms by the employees. Both calls were closed by the responding officer with no arrests made.
There were five calls for service from October 2025 through April 2026. Four calls for service were false or accidental alarms and closed by the responding officer. One call was to assist another agency to check security guard credentials.
It is important to remember, when responding to calls for service, the location is indexed by where the incident occurred or where the officer should respond to contact the victim. If the officer responds to the Evergreen Market parking lot or in close proximity to Evergreen Market, the business name will be indexed in the report. It does not mean a crime occurred at Evergreen Market. If no report was made, the responding officer did not find probable cause to show a crime occurred.
Annual Inspection
Agenda Staff Report
6/9/2026
On April 23, 2026, the Police Department conducted their annual inspection. The following items were found at the inspection:
The point of sale cash drawer had the key sitting in the lock and viewable to the public. This is a security concern. The key needs to be secured by an employee or manager during business hours.
The dumpster to the business was not locked. The dumpster needs to be locked at all times when not in use to prevent people from accessing the dumpster.
Immature clone cannabis plants were left stacked outside the back door against the fence line in preparation for disposal. These plants need to be properly secured until they are disposed of per DDC regulations.
The security door to the lobby was propped open during business hours. This door needs to be secure at all times and requires key card access to open. *This occurred during the last inspection in 2025.*
The manager was not able to provide permits for all employees. The Police Department discussed the necessity of displaying all employee permits in the manager’s office for inspections.
The business has been mailed a letter noting these deficiencies and a second inspection will be conducted to ensure these items have been corrected. These items are minor in nature and can be corrected easily and, therefore, Evergreen Market dba FF Farms is in substantial compliance with the Police Department’s conditions.
Annual Review
TMC §9-5-912 directs the Planning Commission to recommend to the City Council whether the business has complied in good faith with the terms and conditions of the Development Agreement.
Proposed Amendments
Various amendments are proposed to the Development Agreement. To capture all previous amendments to the Development Agreement into one document, the City has prepared a First Amended and Restated Development Agreement. This captures the previous amendments and newly proposed amendments into this one complete Agreement.
In response to concerns from many of the dispensary operators, the City is proposing to amend the language for the public benefit amount to remove the monthly minimum payment and move to a percentage only. The percentage is set as a range up to 9% of gross receipts but proposes to set the amount required to be paid at 5.25% through May 31, 2027, at which time Council may set a new Public Benefit amount within the range. This change will cause a reduction in the overall amount the City will receive in the public benefit, but it will provide more stability and will reduce the financial strain on the cannabis operators.
This Development Agreement does not expire until July 13, 2028, but staff is proposing to amend the term of the agreement through June 30, 2029, so it is on the same schedule as the other dispensary Development Agreements.
Agenda Staff Report
6/9/2026
Other regulations proposed to be added to the agreement include requiring remote real-time live access to the video footage of cameras installed at the businesses and requiring background checks prior to any changes in ownership or on any individual or entity every two years or at any other time upon reasonable cause. A section has been added detailing that if anyone with direct or indirect ownership or controlling interest in the project is convicted of a felony or any crime substantially related to the ownership or operation of a cannabis business, the City may terminate the Development Agreement. If given such notice, the Developer would have 180 days to complete a transfer of their interest to a transferee approved by the City.
Other proposed changes include various language cleanups and updates to current laws and regulations.
3. FISCAL IMPACT / BUDGET AMENDMENT:
Approving the amendment to remove the monthly minimum payment will result in a reduction in the public benefit amount collected annually but will provide more stability for the cannabis operators.
4. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
The project consists of the annual review to determine if Evergreen Market dba FF Farms has complied in good faith with the terms and conditions of the Conditional Use Permit and Development Agreement as well as a three-year time extension and miscellaneous amendments to the Development Agreement.
No changes or modifications to the site are anticipated as a result of this review; therefore, this action is not subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 15378(b)(5) [Project] of the CEQA guidelines. This is an organizational or administrative activity involving the annual review, request for a time extension and various miscellaneous changes to the Development Agreement. This action will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
5. ALTERNATIVES:
1. City Council could find The Evergreen Market dba FF Farms has not complied in good faith with the terms of the Development Agreement for the annual review.
2. City Council could propose other changes to the terms of the Development Agreement.

On October 9, 2015, Governor Jerry Brown signed three bills into law (Assembly Bill 266, Assembly Bill 243, and Senate Bill 643) which are collectively referred to as the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MCRSA”). MCRSA establishes a statewide regulatory system for the cultivation, processing, transportation, testing, manufacturing and distribution of medical marijuana to qualified patients and their primary caregivers.
B. On November 8, 2016, California voters enacted Proposition 64, the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act, also known as the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (“AUMA”), which establishes a comprehensive system to legalize, control, and regulate the cultivation, processing, manufacture, distribution, testing, and sale of nonmedical cannabis, including cannabis products, for use by adults 21 years and older and to tax the growth and retail sale of cannabis for nonmedical use.
C. On June 27, 2017, Governor Jerry Brown signed into law the Medicinal and AdultUse Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MAUCRSA”), which creates a single regulatory scheme for both medicinal and adult-use cannabis businesses.
MAUCRSA retains the provisions in MCRSA and AUMA that granted local jurisdictions control over whether businesses engaged in Commercial Cannabis Activity, as defined in Section 1.4 of this Agreement, may operate in a particular jurisdiction.

Developer shall comply with any and all additional rules, administrative guidelines, and amendments to the T.M.C. adopted by City that govern or pertain to the Cannabis Business Project. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as limiting the City to amend the T.M.C or issue rules or guidelines following the Effective Date of this Agreement that Developer will be required to adhere to.
Section 2.7. Initiatives and Referenda. If any City ordinance, rule or regulation, or addition to the T.M.C. is enacted or imposed by a citizen-sponsored initiative or referendum after the Effective Date that would conflict with this Agreement, an associated Conditional Use Permit, Subsequent City Approvals, or reduce the development rights or assurances provided to Developer in this Agreement, such T.M.C. changes shall not be applied to the Site or the Cannabis Business Project; provided, however, the Parties acknowledge that City’s approval of this Agreement is a legislative action subject to referendum.

The Site and the Cannabis Business Project shall be subject to subsequently enacted state or federal laws or regulations that may preempt the T.M.C. or mandate the adoption or amendment of local regulations or are in conflict with this Agreement or local rules or guidelines associated with the Cannabis Business Program. As provided in Section 65869.5 of the Development Agreement Statute, in the event state or federal laws or regulations enacted after the Effective Date prevent or preclude compliance with one or more provisions of this Agreement, such provisions shall be modified or suspended as may be necessary to comply with such state or federal laws or regulations. Upon discovery of a subsequently enacted federal or state law meeting the requirements of this Section, City or Developer shall provide the other Party with written notice of the state or federal law or regulation, and a written statement of the conflicts thereby raised with the provisions of the T.M.C. or this Agreement. Promptly thereafter, City and Developer shall meet and confer in good faith in a reasonable attempt to modify this Agreement, as necessary, to comply with such federal or state law or regulation provided City shall not be obligated to agree to any modification materially increasing its obligations or materially adversely affecting its rights and benefits hereunder.

Developer further acknowledges that, as an instrument which must be approved by ordinance, a development agreement is subject to referendum; and that, under law, the City Council's discretion to avoid a referendum by rescinding its approval of the underlying ordinance may not be constrained by contract, and Developer waives all claims for damages against City in this regard.

DEFAULT
Section 8.1. General Provisions.
(a) Subject only to any extensions of time by mutual consent in writing, or as otherwise provided herein, the failure or delay by any Party to perform in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a default.

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
CITY OF TURLOCK AND THE EVERGREEN MARKET (TURLOCK), INC.
Party may, at its option, institute legal proceedings pursuant to this Agreement, and give notice of its intent to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Government Code section 65868.

(c) Prior to the Charging Party giving notice to the Charged Party of its intent to terminate, or prior to instituting legal proceedings, the matter shall be scheduled for consideration and review by City in the manner set forth in Government Code sections 65865, 65867 and 65868 within thirty (30) days from the expiration of the ten (10) day notice period.

If the alleged default is not cured in ten (10) days or within such longer period specified in the notice or the defaulting Party is not diligently pursuing a cure, or if the breach cannot reasonably be cured within the period or the defaulting Party waives its right to cure such alleged default, this Agreement may be terminated by the non-defaulting Party by giving written notice. An extension of the ten (10) day cure period may be given by mutual consent of the Parties. (f) In the event Developer is in default under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, no permit application shall be accepted by City, nor will any permit be issued to Developer until the default is cured or the Agreement is terminated.
Section 8.2. Annual Review. City shall, at least every twelve (12) months during the Term of this Agreement, review the extent of good faith, substantial compliance of Developer and City with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) At Developer’s option, City’s failure to deliver such Estoppel Certificate within the stated time period shall be conclusive evidence that the Agreement is in full force and effect, that there are no uncured breaches or defaults in Developer’s performance of the Agreement or violation of any City ordinances, regulations, and policies regulating the use and development of the Site, the Cannabis Business Project, or the subject to this Agreement.
Section 8.4. Default by City. In the event City does not accept, review, approve, or issue any permits or approvals in a timely fashion, as defined by this Agreement, or if City otherwise defaults under the terms of this Agreement, City agrees that Developer shall not be obligated to proceed with or complete the Cannabis Business Project and shall constitute grounds for termination or cancellation of this Agreement by Developer.

Section 8.6. Forced Delay, Extension of Times of Performance. Delays in performance, by either Party, shall not be deemed a default if such delays or defaults are due to war, terrorism, insurrection, strikes, walkouts, riots, floods, earthquakes, fires, casualties, acts of God, governmental restrictions imposed where mandated by governmental entities other than City, enactment of conflicting state or federal laws or regulations, new or supplementary environmental regulations enacted by the state or federal government, litigation, or other force majeure events. An extension of time for such cause shall be in effect for the period of forced delay or longer, as may be mutually agreed upon.
