It is anticipated that additional Water Districts, including Hopland and River Estates will join the agreement, as well as the Ukiah Valley Sanitation District.

Discussion: To ensure readiness for fiscal year 2025-26 billing go-live date for up to four Water Districts, including Willow, Calpella, Hopland, River Estates water billing, and Ukiah Valley Sanitation District waste water billing, Staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a contract amendment with Milsoft for utility billing and data conversion. While Hopland, River Estates and Ukiah Valley Sanitation District have not yet approved joining the water consolidation efforts and/or billing consolidation, securing the availability of the services is important for timely integration.

Please refer to Attachment 1 for a copy of their proposals. Given the tight window to complete this implementation, it is crucial that Staff have the appropriate tools to accomplish the task. Timing is of the essence. Therefore, Staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a purchase order change order with Milsoft in the not-to-exceed amount of $153,500 for utility billing and data conversion services and approving a corresponding budget amendment. If fewer agencies join the UVWA, and if UVSD chooses not to use the City for billing, the cost will not approach the not-to-exceed amount.

Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a purchase order change order with Milsoft for a not-to-exceed amount of $153,500 for utility billing and data conversion services for Ukiah Valley Water Authority members, and approve a corresponding budget amendment.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution Amending Resolution 2025-07, "Ratifying the Proclamation of a Local Emergency Due to Ongoing Atmospheric Rivers Causing Damaging to Public Infrastructure," and Affirming that the Local Emergency Remains in Effect.

DEPARTMENT: City Manager /
Admin PREPARED BY: Traci Boyl, City Manager's Office Senior Analyst PRESENTER: Traci Boyl, Sr. Management Analyst to the City Manager's Office
ATTACHMENTS:

1. 14b Resolution 2025 - Ratify Proclamation

2. Amendment to Resolution 2025-07
Summary: The City Council will consider the adoption of a Resolution amending Resolution No. 2025-07, and affirm that the local emergency remains in effect.

Background: On February 19, 2025, the Director of Emergency Services proclaimed a local emergency pursuant to Ukiah City Code Section 5125 (Ordinance No. 995, Section 1) due to ongoing atmospheric rivers that threatened and damaged local infrastructure. And, on February 19, 2025, the Ukiah City Council approved Resolution No. 2025-07 ratifying the proclamation of a local emergency affecting the City (Attachment 1).

Resolution 2025-07 states, “the City Council will review this declaration at its next regular meeting, occurring not more than 14 days from the date the Resolution Proclaiming Existence of a Local Emergency is ratified by this resolution.” However, applicable law requires the Local Emergency Proclamation be reviewed and renewed no more than every 60 days.

Discussion: To ensure compliance with applicable law, Staff recommends Council amend the Resolution to state: “The City Council will renew this proclamation every 60 days until it’s termination.” Additionally, due to the ongoing storms and saturated soils which continue to threaten public infrastructure, Staff recommended the City Council reaffirm that the local emergency remains in effect.

Therefore, Staff recommends Council adopt a Resolution (Attachment 2) amending Resolution 2025-07, "Ratification of a Proclamation of a Local Emergency Due to Ongoing Atmospheric Rivers Causing Damage to Public Infrastructure," and affirming that the local emergency remains in effect.

A RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING EXISTENCE OF A LOCAL EMERGENCY DUE TO ONGOING

ATMOSPHERIC RIVERS CAUSING DAMAGE TO PUBLIC INFRASTRCTURE WHEREAS, Ukiah City Code Section 5125 (Ordinance No. 995, Section 1) empowers the Director of Emergency services to proclaim the existence or threatened existence of a local emergency when said city is affected or likely to be affected by a public calamity; and WHEREAS, on Friday, February 4, 2025, the City of Ukiah experienced another Atmospheric River event, resulting in localized flooding within the city and surrounding areas; and WHEREAS, the Director of Emergency Services of the City of Ukiah does hereby find that conditions of extreme peril to the safety or persons and property arose within the City, caused by severe winter storms; and
WHEREAS, although the City took immediate action to prepare for and respond to the storm, including monitoring streets and clearing storm drains, repositioning public safety resources as necessary, providing the public with preparedness communication, and attending Mendocino County's operational call, the conditions caused damage beyond the control and resources of City personnel; and
WHEREAS, while the storm was short-lived, it brought significant heavy rain to already saturated soil, leading to severe damage to public infrastructure, including a landslide near Pressure Zone 1 North (PZ1-N) water tank located above the City's golf course, requiring emergency repair to prevent additional damage to the tank and caused additional slides on the newly-acquired Western Hills property damaging roads and culverts there; and WHEREAS, while the County did not experience significant damage, the City's reported damage meets the State's required threshold for requesting financial support; and.

WHEREAS, declaring a local emergency enables the City to pursue State and Federal assistance. including reimbursement for eligible emergency response costs under the California Disaster Assistance Act and potential Federal Emergency Management Agency aid if a federal disaster is declared.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY PROCLAIMED that a local emergency now exists throughout the City of Ukiah.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Adoption of an Ordinance Modifying Ukiah City Code to Preserve and Strengthen Agricultural Uses In and Around Ukiah Consistent with the Ukiah 2040 General Plan.

DEPARTMENT: Community
Development PREPARED BY: Katherine Schaffers, Planning Manager PRESENTER: Consent Calendar
ATTACHMENTS:

1. City of Ukiah Agriculture Element

2. ORDINANCE - Agricultural Consistency

3. CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 Findings of Consistency Summary: Council will consider adoption of an Ordinance modifying Ukiah City Code to preserve and strengthen agricultural uses in and around Ukiah consistent with the Ukiah 2040 General Plan.

Background: On December 7, 2022, the City Council adopted the Ukiah 2040 General Plan, which included an Agriculture Element (Attachment 1) highlighting the importance of collaborative approaches to agricultural resources and the need to align Mendocino County and City policies regarding the preservation of regional working lands. Furthermore, the General Plan recognized that consistency across City and County standards reduces administrative complexity for property owners and operators, creating a shared and efficient regulatory framework.

As part of the 2040 General Plan, an implementation program, goals, and policies were specifically included to align Ukiah's agricultural standards with the regional standards of Mendocino County. This alignment aims to protect agricultural lands within Ukiah's Sphere of Influence from incompatible uses and ensures that zoning standards support existing agricultural practices if lands are "prezoned" and subsequently "annexed" into the City. While originally scheduled for review by the Planning Commission on November 13, 2024, City Staff requested that the review and hearing be postponed to ensure feedback could be incorporated from entities such as the Mendocino County Farm Bureau (MCFB), Mendocino County Resource Conservation District (MCRCD), Mendocino County Department of Planning and Building Services (PBS), and the Mendocino County Agricultural Commissioner.

On December 11, 2024, the Ukiah Planning Commission evaluated the proposed amendments to the Ukiah City Code ("UCC") and unanimously recommended approval to the City Council through adoption of Resolution No. 2024-01. Since the Commission's recommendation, Staff has revised the proposed Ordinance to incorporate minor typographical edits, along with changes identified by stakeholders—particularly the Mendocino County Farm Bureau (MCFB)—that were discussed with the Planning Commission, as well as recommendations from the City Attorney for consistency with state law.

On February 19, 2025, the Ukiah City Council held a public hearing where they reviewed the Planning Commission and Staff’s recommendation. During the meeting, Staff proposed a revision to Section 9174.2(F)(4), which regulates outdoor commercial cannabis cultivation. The proposed change aims to eliminate redundancy and clarify the language to read: “A Cannabis Cultivation Business located in the A-E

Page 36 of 568 ends

Page 2 of 3 ends

district or with an A-overlay will not be subject to the location limitations set forth in Subsections F.1.a through F.1.e of this Section.”
The original language referenced ‘Public Facilities’ with an Agricultural Overlay, specifically addressing the only area with this designation: the Public Facilities (PF) zone around the Wastewater Treatment Plant.

However, Section 9174.4 of the Ordinance already outlines location limitations and development criteria for Cannabis Cultivation Businesses in Agricultural Combining Districts, making the reference to ‘Public Facilities’ unnecessary.

At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Council unanimously (5-0) approved the introduction of the Ordinance (Attachment 2).

Discussion: The Agricultural Consistency Ordinance (hereafter referred to as the "Proposed Ordinance") (Attachment 2) is primarily intended to align the City’s Agricultural Exclusive (A-E) district with the agricultural standards, allowances, and land use terminology adopted by Mendocino County. This alignment specifically pertains to Chapter 20.032 (Agriculture Use Types), Chapter 20.052 (Agricultural District), and Chapter 20.060 (Rangeland District) of the Mendocino County Code. The alignment would be implemented through an update to the City’s Agricultural Exclusive (A-E) district.

These changes aim to ensure that agricultural operations within the City’s jurisdiction are regulated consistently and predictably, both now and in the future. By aligning with Mendocino County’s agricultural standards, the City seeks to provide clear guidelines and reduce uncertainty for property owners and active agricultural businesses.

In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as evaluated in Attachment 3, there is no new information resulting from the proposed ordinance amendments that would result in more severe impacts than those considered in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR. Section 15183 of the State CEQA Guidelines states that a project shall qualify for an exemption if the following findings can be made:
1) The project is consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified.
2) There are no project-specific effects which are peculiar to the project or its site, and which the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to analyze as significant effects.
3) There are no project-specific impacts which the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to analyze as significant effects. 4) There are no potentially significant offsite and/or cumulative impacts that the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to evaluate.
5) There is no substantial new information that results in more severe impacts than anticipated by the Ukiah 2040 EIR.

Staff recommends Council adopt the ordinance in Attachment 2, modifying Ukiah City Code to preserve and strengthen agricultural uses in and around Ukiah consistent with the Ukiah 2040 General Plan.

8. Agriculture Element
Policy Document | December 2022 Page 8-3
Formalized agriculture within the Ukiah Valley began in the 1850s. Efforts included the raising of livestock and the growing of various grains, and hops. When the Northwestern Pacific Railroad was completed in 1889, prunes, potatoes, pears, and hops were sent from the Ukiah Valley to San Francisco and other regional markets. Hops, pears, prunes and grapes were the most widely planted crops in the 1950s, and today the Ukiah Valley is home to a number of productive agricultural activities, including organically produced crops and notable vineyards. The Valley’s rich bottom-land, resourced by the Russian River, consists of prime, fertile soils and benchlands highly productive for grapes. Presently, agricultural land within the region is mostly comprised of vineyards and pear orchards but also includes row crops and pasturelands.

Agricultural production has been an important part of the regional economy for generations and will continue to be a foundational component for decades to come. In addition to the economic benefits, agricultural lands provide a pastoral quality that helps define the character of the Ukiah Valley. If undertaken appropriately by addressing issues related to health and, potential nusiances (e.g., noise, odor, ashetics), urban agriculture can improve access to healthy food, promote community development, and create jobs.1 While agricultural resources are addressed and protected by numerous State laws, this Agriculture Element is included here to implement new approaches to local agriculture and strengthen existing City policies regarding preservation and enhancement of regional working lands.

Goals and Policies
To preserve and strengthen agricultural uses in and around Ukiah that influence the regional economy.

AG-1.1 Reduce Agricultural/Urban Conflict
The City shall reduce conflict between incompatible uses and agriculture within and adjacent to the City.

AG-1.2 Preserve Agricultural Lands
With the exception of presently proposed or approved subdivisions, the City shall discourage urban development on unincorporated land within its Sphere of Influence until annexed by the City. The City shall support County land use regulations that protect the viability of local agriculture in the Ukiah Valley.

AG-1.3 Plan Together
The City shall identify and involve stakeholders, as well as advisors with knowledge and expertise, to create and implement a comprehensive planning framework that preserves and strengthens agricultural uses in and around Ukiah that inform and influence the regional economy. 1 Golden, S.

To create a healthy, equitable and resilient local-food system that further integrates agriculture into the City’s identity.

AG-2.4 Backyard Food
The City shall allow and encourage residents to undertake supplementary local agriculture, including backyard gardens, apiaries, poultry, and ‘foodscaping’. Examples include community, school, backyard, and rooftop gardens with a purpose extending beyond home consumption and education.

AG-2.5 Buy Local, Enjoy Local
The City shall encourage additional farmer and community markets, food trucks, and farm stands to support production, distribution, and sale of locally grown foods and continue to support communitybased food production and local, nutritious food by working with local landowners for the creation of additional community gardens.

The City shall coordinate with the University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) Mendocino County Master Gardener Program, to connect city residents with backyard gardening knowledge.

AG-2.7 Farmer’s Markets
In conjunction with the Mendocino County Farmers Market Association, the City shall research and identify additional ways to support the sale of local produce and goods at farmers markets within the City of Ukiah.

Help existing agricultural stakeholders move ‘Beyond the Farm’.

AG-3.1 Establish Infrastructure to Grow the Agricultural Economy The City shall support existing agriculture operators by encouraging a diverse, vibrant, and innovative agriculture economy that creates new opportunities and products from regional producers for local consumption and export. In conjunction with stakeholders, the City shall encourage the creation of agricultural business incubators, shared kitchens, and workforce development programs that create locations to strengthen agricultural operators within the region.

AG-3.2 Agritourism
The City shall support expansion of the agricultural tourism industry by assessing utilization use of tourism facilities (e.g., hospitality, restaurants, etc.), as well as supporting efforts to plan and integrate the Great Redwood Trail into the agricultural economy.

AG-3.3 University Research
The City shall encourage research, particularly at the University of California Cooperative Extension, pertinent to the Ukiah Valley to identify new potential uses and enhancement for existing agricultural industries, especially pomology, ‘forestry, livestock, ‘and viticulture.

While the City recognizes the geographical limitations of its agricultural policies, the City also recognizes its sense of identity and quality of life are closely associated with the surrounding setting. To implement the goals and

Draft Findings of Consistency
CEQA Section 15183 Statutory Exemption
City of Ukiah
II. INTRODUCTION

1. Purpose of the 15183 Findings of Consistency
California Public Resources Code section 21083.3 and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15183 provide an exemption from additional environmental review for projects that are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site.

Section 15183 specifies that examination of environmental effects shall be limited to those effects that:
(1) Are peculiar to the project or the parcel on which the project would be located, and were not analyzed as significant effects in a prior EIR on the zoning action, general plan, or community plan, with which the project is consistent,
(2) Are potentially significant off-site impacts and cumulative impacts which were not discussed in the prior EIR prepared for the general plan, community plan or zoning action, or
(3) Are previously identified significant effects which, as a result of substantial new information which was not known at the time the EIR was certified, are determined to have a more severe adverse impact than discussed in the prior EIR.

Section 15183(c) further specifies that if an impact is not peculiar to the parcel or to the proposed project, has been addressed as a significant effect in the prior EIR, or can be substantially mitigated by the imposition of uniformly applied development policies or standards, then an additional EIR need not be prepared for that project solely on the basis of that impact.

2. Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR
The Ukiah 2040 General Plan and its associated EIR (SCH# 2022050556) were certified in December 2022. The General Plan designates land uses defining the type and amount of development that can occur throughout the City and proposed annexation areas through the planning horizon year of 2040 (over approximately 18 years). The EIR comprehensively evaluated environmental impacts that would result from the General Plan’s implementation, including information related to existing site conditions, analyses of the types and magnitude of projectlevel and cumulative environmental impacts, and feasible mitigation measures that could reduce or avoid environmental impacts.

III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

1. Project Purpose
The Agricultural Consistency Ordinance (hereafter referred to as the “Ordinance”) represents a planned alignment within the Ukiah 2040 General Plan and EIR, of the City of Ukiah’s zoning regulations with regional agricultural standards, particularly those established by Mendocino County. By revising the Agricultural Exclusive (A-E) and Combining Agricultural (-A) zoning districts, the Ordinance reflects the adaptation of agricultural practices and land-use policies to support the long-term sustainability of the region’s cultural and ecological landscape.

Reflective of the goals and polices of the Ukiah 2040 General Plan (See 3. Background below), the Ordinance responds to a need to protect agricultural lands from fragmentation and encroachment. Policies such as LU-7.5 highlight the importance of preserving agricultural viability by discouraging incompatible development, while AG-1.2 reinforces the commitment to safeguarding these lands within the City’s Sphere of Influence through zoning practices that maintain minimum lot sizes and encourage compatibility with surrounding uses. These principles maintain the integrity of agricultural spaces in an increasingly urbanized landscape.

Overall, the Ordinance seeks to provide a clear regulatory framework for agricultural and ancillary uses by codifying Mendocino County regulations such as minimum lot sizes, setbacks, and performance standards. It also anticipates evolving land-use needs by incorporating select Mendocino County outdoor cannabis cultivation provisions, while maintaining alignment with City of Ukiah goals and discretionary processes to ensure minimal environmental and social disruption.

2. Environmental Setting and Project Location
The City of Ukiah includes approximately 4.72 square miles. It serves as the County Seat of Mendocino County, as well as the county’s commercial hub. Predominant land uses in the City include single family residential, multi-family residential, and commercial uses ranging from local commercial to service commercial, as well manufacturing, industrial and public facilities. Further west is undeveloped open space, and steep, densely vegetated areas interspersed with rural residential lots within the Western Hills and Mendocino County’s jurisdiction. The Agricultural Exclusive and Agricultural Combining districts within the City of Ukiah’s planning area are characterized by agricultural operations, including vineyards, orchards, and pasturelands, supported by a mix of soil types and climatic conditions conducive to farming.

3. Background
Ukiah 2040 General Plan
The Ukiah 2040 General Plan outlines key goals and policies within the Land Use and Agricultural Elements that directly support the alignment of the City of Ukiah’s zoning regulations with Mendocino County standards. These include:

Goal LU-7 To ensure the orderly and timely growth and expansion of the City.

Policy LU 7.7 Development Pattern The City shall ensure an orderly, contiguous development pattern that prioritizes infill development, phases new development,

Page 73 of 568 ends

6 Agricultural Consistency Ordinance
Draft Findings of Consistency
CEQA Section 15183 Statutory Exemption
City of Ukiah
encourages compactness and efficiency, preserves surrounding open space and agricultural resources, and avoids land use incompatibilities.

Policy LU 7.5 Agriculture and Annexation The City shall discourage urban development of unincorporated land in the City’s Sphere of influence until such lands are annexed by the City. The City shall support County land use regulations that require minimum lot sizes to protect the viability of local agriculture and to prevent the development of incompatible or undesirable land use patterns prior to eventual annexation and urbanization.

Goal LU-10 To assure coordination and consistency with special planning areas.

Policy 10.3 Ukiah Valley Area Plan The City shall coordinate with Mendocino County to assure consistency with the Ukiah Valley Area Plan goals and policies Goal AG-1 To preserve and strengthen agricultural uses in and around Ukiah that influence the regional economy.

Policy AG-1.1 Reduce Agricultural/Urban Conflict The City shall reduce conflict between incompatible uses and agriculture within and adjacent to the City.

Policy AG-1.2 Preserve Agricultural Lands With the exception of presently proposed or approved subdivisions, the City shall discourage urban development on unincorporated land within its Sphere of Influence until annexed by the City. The City shall support County land use designations that protect the viability of local agriculture in the Ukiah Valley.

Policy AG 1.3 Plan Together The City shall identify and involve stakeholders, as well as advisors with knowledge and expertise, to create and implement a comprehensive planning framework that preserves and strengthens agricultural uses in and around Ukiah that inform and influence the regional economy.

Agriculture Element Implementation Program C: Align Agricultural Standards The City shall revise agricultural standards and use terminology to be consistent with adjacent jurisdictions within the Ukiah Valley for the support of future annexations efforts.

The Agricultural Element of the Ukiah 2040 General Plan emphasizes the importance of regional consistency to foster collaboration between the City and Mendocino County. The proposed Ordinance directly implements these goals and policies by updating Ukiah’s zoning code to align with County regulations. This alignment ensures that agricultural lands within Ukiah’s planning area are protected from incompatible uses and that zoning standards support sustainable and economically viable agricultural practices.

Moreover, the General Plan recognizes that consistency between City and County standards reduces administrative complexity for property owners and operators, creating a streamlined regulatory framework. By adopting the Agricultural Consistency Ordinance, the City of Ukiah demonstrates its commitment to the preservation and enhancement of agricultural lands as a key regional resource.

7 Agricultural Consistency Ordinance
Draft Findings of Consistency
CEQA Section 15183 Statutory Exemption
City of Ukiah
The following findings are made in compliance with CEQA Section 15183 – Project consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning.

Section 15183 of the State CEQA Guidelines states that a project shall qualify for an exemption if the following findings can be made:
1) The project is consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified. 2) There are no project-specific effects which are peculiar to the project or its site, and which the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to analyze as significant effects. 3) There are no project-specific impacts which the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to analyze as significant effects.
4) There are no potentially significant offsite and/or cumulative impacts that the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to evaluate.
5) There is no substantial new information that results in more severe impacts than anticipated by the Ukiah 2040 EIR.

A discussion of staff’s finding of each potential environmental effect is provided below.

1. Density
The project is consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified.

Finding
The Ordinance is consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified.

Discussion
The current City of Ukiah Agricultural Combining (-A) zoning regulations establish limited agricultural uses, requiring a minimum lot size of five acres for certain activities. However, these regulations lack explicit density restrictions and a comprehensive framework to guide agricultural production. To address these gaps, the Ordinance clarifies and strengthens the standards for agricultural activities, introducing explicit provisions for uses such as animal raising (personal and general), tree crops, and farm stands.

Moreover, the Ordinance integrates Mendocino County’s minimum 40-acre lot size standard for Agricultural Exclusive (A-E) zones. This approach ensures agricultural parcels remain sufficiently large to support economically viable farming operations, such as vineyards or orchards, while mitigating risks associated with land fragmentation. For example, smaller lots that might otherwise be converted to residential uses could introduce land-use conflicts, such as noise or odor complaints from residents unfamiliar with standard farming practices. The 40-acre standard protects agricultural operations by reducing such risks and preserving the agricultural character of the region.

Proposed A-E regulation changes also include the addition of density restrictions of one dwelling per 40 acres, mirroring Mendocino County’s approach, in addition to limited processing and packing of agricultural products, horticulture, and farm stands which would be explicitly allowed,

CEQA Section 15183 Statutory Exemption
City of Ukiah
provided these uses remain secondary to the primary agricultural activity. For instance, wineries may produce grapes grown on-site, and farm stands can sell locally produced goods, enhancing economic sustainability for agricultural operations. These updates reflect the Ordinance’s attention to preserving agricultural soils by restricting residential encroachment and supporting the economic viability of farming through accessory commercial uses such as small-scale processing and direct sales.

2. Effects
There are no project-specific effects which are peculiar to the project or its site, and which the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to analyze as significant effects Finding
All potential impacts from the Ordinance were evaluated with the Ukiah 2040 EIR. The proposed Ordinance has no unique features that were not evaluated within the General Plan EIR.

Discussion
The Ordinance does not introduce unique effects or conditions beyond those anticipated and analyzed in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR. As emphasized under Goal LU-7 of the General Plan, the Ordinance is consistent with the directive to “ensure an orderly, contiguous development pattern that prioritizes infill development, phases new development, encourages compactness and efficiency, preserves surrounding open space and agricultural resources, and avoids land use incompatibilities.” This alignment reinforces the Ordinance’s focus on minimizing environmental disruption and promoting sustainable agricultural practices.

The Ordinance also directly supports Policy LU-7.5 which states that the City shall “support County land use regulations that require minimum lot sizes to protect the viability of local agriculture and to prevent the development of incompatible or undesirable land use patterns.” By aligning with Mendocino County zoning standards, the Ordinance operationalizes this policy, ensuring agricultural lands are preserved for their intended uses and safeguarded from premature urbanization.

Furthermore, Goal AG-1 of the General Plan commits to “preserve and strengthen agricultural uses in and around Ukiah that influence the regional economy,” while Policy AG-1.1 emphasizes reducing conflicts between incompatible uses and agriculture. The Ordinance addresses these objectives by codifying zoning standards that create clear protections for agricultural lands.

Additionally, Policy AG-1.2 calls for the City to “discourage urban development on unincorporated land within its Sphere of Influence until such lands are annexed,” a directive mirrored by the Ordinance’s adoption of minimum lot size requirements to prevent fragmentation of agricultural lands.

Implementation of these policies is supported by Agriculture Element Implement Program C, which directs the City to “revise agricultural standards and use terminology to be consistent with adjacent jurisdictions within the Ukiah Valley for the support of future annexation efforts.” The Ordinance fulfils this directive by aligning City agricultural zoning standards with Mendocino County’s practices, ensuring compatibility and promoting long-term agricultural sustainability.

3. Impacts
There are no project-specific impacts which the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to analyze as significant effects
Finding
There is no new information as a result of the proposed Ordinance that would result in more severe impacts. The Ordinance is consistent with the Ukiah 2040 General Plan density and land use designations. All potential impacts were evaluated with the General Plan EIR.

Discussion
No project-specific impacts were identified that would result in significant environmental effects.

The alignment with Mendocino County standards ensures a uniform regulatory approach, reducing the potential for conflicts or adverse effects on neighboring properties. As emphasized in Policy AG-1.1 “The City shall reduce conflict between incompatible uses and agriculture within and adjacent to the City.” By incorporating regional agricultural standards, the Ordinance actively mitigates potential land-use conflicts and promotes compatibility between agricultural and neighboring uses.

Additionally, the Ordinance includes provisions to maintain agricultural operations and protect critical resources. Policy LU-7.5 emphasizes that “the City shall support County land use regulations that require minimum lot sizes to protect the viability of local agriculture and to prevent the development of incompatible or undesirable land use patterns.”

4. Cumulative Impacts
There are no potentially significant offsite and/or cumulative impacts that the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to evaluate
Finding
There are no potentially significant offsite and/or cumulative impacts as a result of the proposed Ordinance.

Discussion
The Ordinance aligns with regional agricultural policies and contributes to the cumulative preservation of agricultural lands. As outlined in Policy AG-1.2 “The City shall discourage urban development on unincorporated land within its Sphere of Influence until annexed by the City” and “support County land use regulations that protect the viability of local agriculture in the Ukiah Valley.” These directives ensure the Ordinance prioritizes agricultural preservation while managing growth in a way that avoids incompatible or fragmented land-use patterns.

The Ukiah 2040 EIR considered the incremental impacts of maintaining agricultural density and protecting agricultural resources in alignment with the General Plan. Policy LU-7.7 emphasizes the need for “an orderly, contiguous development pattern that…preserves surrounding open space and agricultural resources and avoids land use incompatibilities.” The Ordinance directly supports this policy by reinforcing minimum lot size standards and maintaining agricultural zoning consistency with Mendocino County, thus contributing to the long-tern sustainability of agricultural lands.

5. New Information
There is no substantial new information that results in more severe impacts than anticipated by the Ukiah 2040 EIR
Finding
There is no substantial new information that results in more severe impacts than anticipated by the Ukiah 2040 EIR.

Discussion
No new substantial information has been identified that would result in more severe environmental impacts. The Ordinance aligns with agricultural preservation goals outlined in the Ukiah 2040 EIR and General Plan. Specifically, Policy LU-7.5 supports maintaining agricultural land and preventing incompatible development, stating, “The City shall discourage urban development of unincorporated land in the City’s Sphere of Influence until such lands are annexed by the City.

The City shall support County land use regulations that require minimum lot sizes to protect the viability of local agriculture and to prevent the development of incompatible or undesirable land use patterns.” The Ordinance also reflects Policy LU-7.7, which emphasizes preserving compatibility with surrounding land uses through effective zoning standards.

The introduction of outdoor cannabis cultivation under the proposed Ordinance represents a new regulatory framework. The City will incorporate selected aspects of Mendocino County’s A-E zoning regulations, such as setback requirements mandating a minimum of 50 feet from all property lines to ensure land use compatibility and reduce adverse impacts. Additionally, the City will implement a more restrictive regulatory regime. Cannabis cultivation will be reviewed by discretionary permit, allowing the City to evaluate each site individually, considering unique environmental conditions such as proximity to sensitive habitats, water resources, and existing land uses. This approach enables the City to identify potential environmental impacts on a projectby-project basis, consistent with CEQA requirements, and impose targeted mitigation measures to address identified impacts, such as stormwater management practices, noise attenuation, or additional site security considerations.

To address air quality concerns, the Ordinance requires all structures used for mixed-light and indoor cannabis cultivation to be equipped with advanced filtration and ventilation systems designed to control odors, humidity, and mold. This provision is critical for ensuring compatibility with neighboring uses and for reducing potential nuisance complaints from nearby residents or businesses. For example, the Ordinance mandates that harvesting activities, such as drying and curing, occur either within enclosed structures utilizing best available control technology or by implementing innovative techniques like freeze-drying, to achieve equivalent odor mitigation.

These measures align with best practices outlined by the California Department of Cannabis Control (DCC), which emphasizes minimizing community impacts through effective operational controls.

Water conservation is another key component of the Ordinance, reflecting statewide efforts to sustainably manage natural resources. The Ordinance requires compliance with the State Water Resources Control Board’ Cannabis Cultivation Policy, which includes guidelines for water diversion, use, and discharge to protect California’s water quality and supply. By enforcing these standards, the Ordinance ensures that cannabis operations do not deplete local water resources or adversely affect the Ukiah Valley watershed.

By adopting provisions that align with the General Plan’s goals, the Ordinance supports the preservation of agricultural resources and promotes long-term compatibility with adjacent land uses. These measures, including cannabis-related regulations, not only align with state-level environmental and public health polices but also uphold the goals set forth in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan. Specifically, Policy LU-7.5 ensures the prevention of incompatible development patterns, while the adoption of these operating standards ensures that cannabis activities remain consistent with the City’s broader land-use and environmental objectives.

V. DETERMINATION
Summary of Findings: Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) defines a “Project” as an activity that (1) is a discretionary action by a governmental agency; and (2) will either have a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect impact on the environment. (Pub.

Res. Cod, § 21065). “Project” means the whole of the action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and that is any of the following: An activity directly undertaken by any public agency including but not limited to public works construction and related activities, clearing or grading of land, improvements to existing public structures, enactment and amendment of zoning ordinances, and the adoption and amendment of local General Plans or elements thereof pursuant to Government Code Sections 65100-65700.

In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, the Agricultural Consistency Ordinance qualifies for an exemption because the following findings can be made:
1) The project is consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified. 2) There are no project-specific effects which are peculiar to the project or its site, and which the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to analyze as significant effects. 3) There are no project-specific impacts which the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to analyze as significant effects.
4) There are no potentially significant offsite and/or cumulative impacts that the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to evaluate.
5) There is no substantial new information that results in more severe impacts than anticipated by the Ukiah 2040 EIR.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT:

Assignment and Assumption Agreement – Ukiah Valley Sanitation District and Willow County Water District DEPARTMENT: Finance PREPARED BY: Dan Buffalo, Finance Director PRESENTER: Dan Buffalo, Finance Director; David Rapport, City Attorney
ATTACHMENTS:

1. ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT- UVSD (002)-c1

2. MSA w Amendments
Summary:

The City Council is requested to approve the Assignment and Assumption Agreement ("Agreement") between the City of Ukiah ("City"), the Willow County Water District ("Willow"), and the Ukiah Valley Sanitation District ("UVSD"). This Agreement transfers Willow’s rights and obligations under the existing Sanitation Master Service Agreement ("MSA"), as amended, to the City. Approval by the City Council will authorize the City Manager to finalize any remaining negotiating items and execute the Agreement in substantial form.

Background:

On May 19, 2019, Willow and UVSD entered into the MSA, under which Willow agreed to perform District Manager Services for UVSD. In May 2020, the parties executed an addendum to the MSA to expand Willow’s role to include administrative services such as billing and collection. Subsequently, changes in service providers occurred, including Urban Futures, Inc. assuming District Manager responsibilities in October 2020 and CliftonLarsonAllen LLP (CLA) expanding its accounting services for UVSD in April 2023.

On May 17, 2021, Willow and UVSD executed the Second Amendment to the MSA, reaffirming Willow’s continued role in providing billing and collection services. The Fifth Amendment to the MSA, effective March 1, 2024, further clarified the fees and charges for these services. Additionally, the City and UVSD have an Operating Agreement governing certain billing and collection functions.

Willow has since joined the Ukiah Valley Water Authority ("UVWA"), a Joint Powers Authority ("JPA") that includes Millview County Water District, Redwood Valley County Water District, Willow, and the City. As part of this transition, the City has taken the lead as the administrative and operational agency for the entire UVWA.

Given Willow’s expanded role in the UVWA and the need for centralized and efficient service delivery, Willow, UVSD, and the City have determined that transitioning Willow’s obligations under the MSA to the City is in the best interest of all parties.

Discussion:

Page 95 of 568 ends

Page 2 of 3 ends

The proposed Assignment and Assumption Agreement (Attachment 1) provides for the transfer of all rights and obligations under the MSA, as amended, from Willow to the City, effective March 1, 2025. Key provisions include:

1. Assignment of Responsibilities: Willow assigns to the City all rights and obligations under the MSA, including billing and collection services.

2. City’s Assumption of Services: The City assumes Willow’s obligations under the MSA and agrees to provide the designated services.

3. Liability Provisions: Willow will have no liability for billing and collection services provided by the City after the Effective Date, and the City will not assume liability for any claims arising from Willow’s prior services.

4. Termination Date: The MSA will remain in effect until June 30, 2025, unless extended or modified by further agreement between the City and UVSD.

5. UVSD and Willow Approval: The UVSD Board of Directors and the Willow Board of Directors will consider and must approve the Agreement for it to take effect.

6. Payment to the City: UVSD will pay the City the remaining amount owed under the current MSA agreement. The City will honor the agreed-upon amounts for administrative and billing services between Willow and UVSD through the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 2025.

The original MSA and its amendments are found in Attachment 2.

This Agreement ensures continuity of billing and collection services while formalizing the City’s role as the service provider. Additionally, the Agreement clarifies that the City’s services will be governed by the MSA, rendering inapplicable provisions in the existing Operating Agreement between the City and UVSD concerning billing and collection services performed by the City.

A council-level budget amendment is not required for this item. The amounts paid to the City by UVSD under the terms of the MSA through June 30, 2025, are intended to compensate the City for costs incurred.

Recommended Action:

1. Approve the Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantial form;

2. Authorize the City Manager to finalize negotiations and the Agreement; and

3. Direct Staff to coordinate with UVSD and Willow for the transition of services.

MEETING DATE/TIME: 3/5/2025

ITEM NO: 2025-210

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Approve the Purchase of a Pierce-International 2100 Gallon Water Tender from Golden State Fire Apparatus for the amount of $574,948.03, and Approval of Corresponding Buget Amendment.

DEPARTMENT: Fire PREPARED BY: Eric Singleton, Battalion Chief PRESENTER: Doug Hutchison, Fire Chief.

ATTACHMENTS:

1. Pierce-GSFA Proposal - IHC 2100 Gallon Water Tender - 2-23-25 Summary: The City Council will consider approval of the purchase of a 2024 International 2100 Gallon Water Tender (Attachment #1) for the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority in the amount of $584,874., and approval of corresponding budget amendment.

Background: The Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (UVFA) is replacing its existing water tender, a 2004 Peterbilt single-axle 2,500-gallon unit originally designed for construction use and later adapted for fire service.

However, the current unit lacks a fire-rated pump, making it non-compliant with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards for frontline apparatus.

Per NFPA guidelines, fire apparatus should serve a primary operational role for 10 years, followed by up to 10 years in reserve status. Given these recommendations and the limitations of the existing unit, UVFA has prioritized its replacement with a fully fire-rated water tender. Once replaced, the current tender will be repurposed as a reserve unit and made available for use by other City departments, including Streets and Sewer, reducing the need for an additional purchase.

Discussion: The replacement of the water tender was originally budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Capital Improvement Plan. However, procurement efforts were delayed due to supply chain disruptions, including chassis shortages and the broader impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Initial Funding Sources
$342,233 – City General Revenues
$82,000 – Mitigation Funds** (Subject to a 10.5% cap on replacement vehicles, limiting the available amount to $61,412 for this purchase.)
These funds were approved and allocated in FY 2021-22 through authorization from both the Ukiah Valley Fire District Board and the Ukiah City Council.

Despite extensive efforts to secure a cost-effective unit, rising costs have necessitated additional funding. A suitable stock-model water tender has been identified with a base purchase price of $584,874. To address the funding gap, Staff identified reserve funds through the Fire District’s Measure B Fund, which was requested and approved by the Ukiah Valley Fire District Board of Directors. The total funding structure is as follows:

City Revenue Funds: $342,233
Mitigation Funds: $61,412 (in accordance with the 10.5% cap for replacement vehicles) Measure B Funds: $181,229

Page 127 of 568 ends

Page 2 of 2 ends

An estimated $20,000 is required for additional equipment and outfitting to ensure operational readiness, as this is a stock model. Retrofitting is essential to integrate department-specific functionality while maintaining the existing water tender as a reserve unit available for mutual aid deployment while also serving other departments within the city for use. This additional funding was also requested and approved by the District Board of Directors.

Required equipment includes:

Radios – $4,500
Portable Water Tank – $3,000
Hard Suction Hose – $1,200
Trash Pump & Small Suction Hose – $1,200
Remote Fire Nozzle – $6,500
Rear Road Spray Bars – $800
Fire Hose & Various Hose Appliances – $2,800
This brings the total project cost to $605,000.

The water tender is being purchased under a Sourcewell cooperative contract (Attachment 1). City Staff researched and vetted the Request for Proposal process of the Sourcewell contract to verify that it met all requirements of the City and the District. After careful consideration, Staff can confirm that this cooperative contract meets all necessary criteria for procurement. It is therefore the Staff's recommendation to approve the purchase of the Pierce International 2100 Gallon Water Tender for the total amount of $574,948.03, and approval of necessary budget amendments for this purchase, and for the outfitting of the vehicle.

a. “Agreement” has the meaning given in the Product Proposal. b. “Customer” means the customer identified in the Product Proposal. c. “Dealer Preparation,” if applicable, means additional product(s) and/or services added by GSFA after Manufacturer’s completion of the Product and prior to delivery, in accordance with the Dealer Supplied Products/Services List.
d. “Delivery Date” means the Product Completion timeframe plus the Predelivery Service timeframe equals the Delivery Date.
e. “Dealer Supplied Products/Services List” means the Dealer Supplied Products and/or Services List attached to the Product Proposal as Exhibit D, which reflects all Dealer Preparation under the Agreement absent a valid Change Order(s).

g. “GSFA” means Golden State Fire Apparatus, Inc., a California corporation. h. “Manufacturer” means the person or persons, company, firm, corporation, partnership, or other organization identified in the Product Proposal as responsible for manufacturing the Product. i. “Party” or “Parties” means GSFA and/or Customer, as applicable. j. “Predelivery Service” means the Products and/or Services that will be provided by GSFA after transportation of the Product(s) from the manufacturing facility and prior to Final Delivery or Pick-Up. k. “Prepayment Discount” means a discount to the purchase price for the Product granted to Customer in connection with Customer’s advance payment of the Grand Total Purchase Price (or portion thereof, as specified in the Product Proposal).
l. “Product” means the fire apparatus(es) and any associated equipment listed in the Product Proposal and further described in the Specifications.
m. “Product Completion” means the fire apparatus(es) in the Product Proposal and further described in the Specifications being ready for final inspection by Customer at the manufacturing facility. n. “Product Proposal” means the GSFA proposal executed by Customer to which these Terms and Conditions are attached.

p. “Specifications” means the specifications for the Product attached to the Product Proposal as Exhibit B. q. “Terms and Conditions” means these Standard Terms and Conditions, which are attached to the Product Proposal as Exhibit A.

2. Purchase and Payment.
a. Purchase. Customer agrees to purchase the Product at the Grand Total Purchase Price (as such amount may be adjusted in accordance with these Terms and Conditions), pursuant to the payment terms set forth in the Product Proposal. The Grand Total Purchase Price is payable in U.S. dollars. b. Contingency Reserve Fund. The Grand Total Purchase Price may include an amount to be set aside for the purpose of funding any future costs or financial obligations incurred by Customer under the Product Proposal or any valid Change Order(s) (the “Contingency Reserve Fund”). If applicable, the amount of any required Contingency Reserve Fund will be set forth in either the Product Proposal or Exhibit D. The Contingency Reserve Fund may be withdrawn against by Customer or GSFA for the purpose of satisfying Customer’s payment obligations under the initial Product Proposal or any valid Change Order(s) (including, without limitation, a Change Order submitted by GSFA pursuant to Section 8.b). If a Contingency Reserve Fund is required under the Agreement, the amount of such fund is not intended as an estimate of the actual additional costs of contingencies, Change Orders, unforeseen items

Page 139 of 568 ends

2 or other required work that may be incurred under the Agreement after submission of the Product Proposal to Customer, which amounts Customer acknowledges may exceed the Contingency Reserve Fund amount. The balance of any Contingency Reserve Fund will be credited against Customer’s payment obligations, or otherwise returned to Customer within thirty (30) calendar days of delivery of all Products under the Agreement (provided that Customer has paid all amounts owed under the Agreement as of such date). c. Prepayment Discount. If GSFA has granted Customer a Prepayment Discount, Customer must provide each associated prepayment (each, a “Prepayment”) within the time frame specified in the Product Proposal in order to receive such discount. Customer’s failure to timely make such Prepayment may result in: (i) GSFA’s termination of the Agreement; and/or (ii) Customer’s loss of the Prepayment Discount for the portion of the Grand Total Purchase Price represented by such outstanding Prepayment and the application of a late fee as set forth in Section 6, in each case in GSFA’s sole discretion.
d. State Sales Tax. Customer shall be responsible for the cost of state sales tax associated with, or attributable to, the Product. The taxes stated in the Product Proposal are subject to adjustment for the applicable state sales tax rate in effect at the time of delivery. Therefore, the sales tax set forth on the Product Proposal is only an estimate of such taxes and will be increased or decreased at the time of delivery if a change in the applicable sales tax rate has occurred, in which case Customer shall pay GSFA (or be refunded by GSFA) the difference in the applicable sales tax.

3. Product Completion Date. Within thirty (30) calendar days of the date on which the last required signatory executes the Product Proposal (such date, the “Executed Date”), GSFA shall submit to Customer a tentative Product completion date (which may differ from the Product completion estimate contained in the Product Proposal). Due to global supply chain constraints, any Product completion date contained herein, or in the Product Proposal, or otherwise provided to Customer, is a good faith estimate only as of the date provided to Customer, and merely an approximation based on current information available to GSFA and Manufacturer. Customer shall not be entitled to rely on any such estimate, and GSFA shall have no liability to Customer for a failure by GSFA or Manufacturer to meet any such estimate. All Product completion estimates are subject to modification and, if applicable, GSFA will provide updates to such estimates to Customer when available.

4. Stock / Demo Units. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in the Agreement (including Section 12 hereof concerning warranties), any Products constituting stock/demo unit(s) are sold to Customer on an as-is, first-come and first served-basis and GSFA makes no further representation or warranty to any customer with respect to such unit(s). Regardless of the terms of the Product Proposal, GSFA shall only be obligated to sell such stock/demo unit(s) to the first customer to enter into a purchase agreement with GSFA identifying such unit(s), and after the execution by GSFA of such agreement any subsequent purchase agreement (including the Agreement, as applicable) shall have no further force or effect with respect to such unit(s).

5. Multiple Unit Purchase. If the Grand Total Purchase Price includes pricing for multiple Products, the Product price stated in the Product Proposal shall only be valid if the quantity of Products being proposed are purchased at the same time, pursuant to the same Agreement. GSFA shall have no obligation to offer the same price for any Product if purchased by Customer pursuant to a later purchase agreement.

6. Late Fee; Storage Fee. A late fee equal to 0.033% of the outstanding portion of the Grand Total Purchase Price will be charged per calendar day for overdue payments beginning ten (10) calendar days after the payment is due and continuing for the first thirty (30) calendar days thereafter. After such thirty (30) calendar day period, the late fee shall increase to 0.044% per calendar day until payment of the outstanding portion of the Grand Total Purchase Price is received. If Customer is unable to satisfy the delivery requirements hereunder or is unwilling to take delivery of the Product, then GSFA shall be entitled to a storage charge running from the earlier of: (i) the date of delivery agreed to between GSFA and Customer (provided GSFA is willing and able to deliver the Product on such date), or (ii) twenty-one (21) calendar days after GSFA notifies Customer that the Product is available for delivery. The storage charge is equal to: (i) $175.00 per calendar day per apparatus stored, or (ii) the actual charges incurred by GSFA with a third party for storage of the Product, whichever is greater. Such storage charge shall continue until the actual time

Page 140 of 568 ends

3 of delivery and Customer’s possession of the Product, and any such storage by GSFA or such third party shall be at the sole risk of Customer.

7. Delivery; Inspection and Acceptance.
a. Delivery. Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Product is scheduled to be delivered to the location and within the time period specified in the Product Proposal. Such delivery date is an estimate, and GSFA is, notwithstanding this Section 7.a, not bound to such date unless it otherwise agrees in a separate writing to complete delivery by a date certain. For the avoidance of doubt, GSFA is not responsible for delivery delays caused by or because of actions, omissions or conduct of Customer, the Manufacturer, or their respective employees, affiliates, suppliers, contractors, and carriers. Risk of loss for the Product shall pass to Customer at the point and time of delivery (which shall include an attempted delivery by GSFA which cannot be completed due to any act of Customer). However, title to the Product shall only pass to Customer upon delivery if Customer has then fully paid GSFA all amounts due hereunder (including additional amounts due under any valid Change Order). Absent GSFA’s separate written agreement, which it may or may not provide in its sole and absolute discretion, delivery of the Product will not occur before Customer has fully paid all amounts due under the Agreement and provided proof of insurance reasonably satisfactory to GSFA. If GSFA permits Customer to take possession of the Product, Customer may not mount equipment, conduct training, or place the Product into service until all amounts due under the Agreement have been paid. If Customer has ordered multiple Products, GSFA reserves the right to deliver such Products in installments and to separately invoice Customer for such Products.
b. Inspection and Acceptance. Upon delivery, Customer shall have ten (10) calendar days within which to inspect the Product for substantial conformance to the Specifications, and in the event of substantial nonconformance to the Specifications to furnish GSFA with written notice sufficient to permit GSFA to evaluate such non-conformance (“Notice of Nonconformance to Specifications”). Contingent upon part availability and Customer’s cooperation, any Product not in substantial conformance to material Specifications shall be remedied by GSFA (by repair or replacement, at GSFA’s election) within thirty (30) calendar days from GSFA’s receipt of the Notice of Nonconformance to Specifications. In the event GSFA does not receive a Notice of Nonconformance to Specifications within ten (10) calendar days of delivery, the Product will be deemed to be in conformance with Specifications and accepted by Customer.

8. Changes to Agreement Terms.
a. Change Orders. The Customer may request that GSFA incorporate a change to the Product or the Specifications for the Product, or GSFA may submit changes to the Agreement required or permitted to be made by GSFA (pursuant to Section 8.b or otherwise) by delivering a written Change Order to the other party hereto, which shall include a description of the proposed change sufficient to permit the receiving party to evaluate such change (either, a “Change Order”). For any Change Order submitted by Customer, GSFA will provide Customer a written response (a “Response”) stating (i) whether GSFA will accommodate such Change Order (which GSFA may decide in its sole and absolute discretion); and (ii) the terms of the modification to the order, including any increase or decrease in the Grand Total Purchase Price resulting from such Change Order, a date on which any increase in the Grand Total Purchase Price must be paid, and an estimate of any effect on production scheduling or delivery resulting from such Change Order. Customer shall have seven (7) calendar days after receipt of the Response to notify GSFA as to whether Customer desires to make the changes GSFA has approved in the Response. In the event Customer countersigns GSFA’s Response, Customer shall pay the increase (or be refunded the decrease) in the Grand Total Purchase Price by the date specified in the Response. GSFA may also send Customer a Change Order to account for any changes to the Agreement required or permitted to be made by GSFA (including those changes required pursuant to Section 8.b hereof), and such Change Order shall be effective upon delivery to Customer unless Customer elects to terminate the applicable Product order under the Agreement in accordance with Section 9.

Page 141 of 568 ends

4 b. Additional Changes.
i. Component Price Volatility; Increases Imposed by Manufacturer. GSFA shall not be responsible for (i) any unforeseen price increase or surcharge enacted by suppliers of major components of the Product (including but not limited to commercial chassis, engine, transmission, and fire pump); or (ii) price increases imposed on GSFA by Manufacturer pursuant to Manufacturer’s terms and conditions for sale of the Product (a “Manufacturer Price Increase”), after Customer becomes bound by the Agreement. Customer shall be responsible for all amounts arising from any price increases for major components of the Product (including all associated taxes and fees thereon) for the Product or any Manufacturer Price Increases occurring after the execution of the Agreement which increases the cost of the Product to GSFA, and such amounts will be documented on a Change Order adjusting the Grand Total Purchase Price accordingly. Customer shall pay any such price increase prior to Product delivery. A Manufacturer Price Increase may include, but shall not be limited to, an increase in Product price resulting from an increase in the Producer Price Index of Components for Manufacturing (see www.bls.gov Series ID: WPUID6112) in excess of a compounded annual growth rate of five percent (5%), as measured between the month Manufacturer accepts the applicable Product order and the month that is fourteen (14) months prior to the then-current estimated Product completion date (the foregoing, a “PPI-Based Price Increase”). If, upon Customer’s receipt of a Change Order reflecting a PPI-Based Price Increase, Customer elects to terminate the applicable Product Order in accordance with Section 8.b.iii rather than pay such increase, then in lieu of the cancellation fees described in Section 9.a hereof GSFA shall be entitled to recover and Customer shall pay GSFA’s actual non-reimbursable costs incurred in connection with the Product order through the date of Customer’s termination of such Product order. ii. New Legal Standards. In the event the Product design, materials or specifications require an alteration arising from new regulations issued by any governmental entity or trade association, including, but not limited to, the NFPA, DOT, and EPA, and such alteration increases the cost of the Product to GSFA, Customer shall be responsible for changes to the Grand Total Purchase Price arising from such alteration. GSFA shall promptly notify Customer when it becomes aware of any potential or required change in regulations occurring prior to delivery that would impact the Product purchased.
iii. Change Orders. Customer shall execute any Change Order submitted by GSFA documenting any of the changes required or permitted by Sections 8.b.i and 8.b.ii above (which shall, to the extent practicable, itemize any increases in the Grant Total Purchase Price and specify a commercially reasonable date by which Customer must pay such increase), unless Customer instead elects to terminate the applicable Product order under the Agreement within fifteen (15) calendar days of Customer’s receipt of such Change Order and in accordance with Section 9.

Absent such a termination, failure to execute a Change Order does not alter Customer’s obligations under this Section 8.b.
c. Changes in Commercial Specifications. Specifications for all components of the Product manufactured by companies other than the Manufacturer are subject to change without notice. Specifications for such components will be as available at the time of manufacture of the Product. GSFA shall not be liable for any deviations in such specifications arising from a substitution of components or changes in the design of any component by their original manufacturer.

9. Termination.
a. By Customer. Customer may terminate a Product order identified in the Product Proposal or a Change Order by providing written notice to GSFA in accordance with Section 16 hereof. If Customer elects to terminate a Product order, Customer shall pay GSFA a cancellation fee as follows: (a) after the Product order is accepted and entered by GSFA, 10% of the portion of the Grand Total Purchase Price applicable to such Product (including all associated taxes, fees and costs) (such amount, the “Product Purchase Price”); (b) after completion of the preconstruction phase of the order process, 20% of the Product Purchase Price; and (c) after the requisition of any materials or commencement of any manufacturing or assembly of the Product by either GSFA or Manufacturer but before substantial completion of such Product, 50% of the Product Purchase Price. Customer shall not be permitted to terminate a Product order after substantial completion of manufacturing and assembly of such Product (excluding

Page 142 of 568 ends

5 any Dealer Preparation or other pre-delivery services or untypical Product customization, if applicable).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the applicable tier of cancellation fee is not sufficient to cover all actual costs and fees incurred by GSFA with Manufacturer in connection with Customer’s termination of the Product order (“Manufacturer Termination Fees”), then in addition to such cancellation fee Customer shall pay the balance of all Manufacturer Termination Fees. If Customer received a Prepayment Discount, such discount shall not be considered for the purpose of calculating the above cancellation fee. The tier of cancellation fee applicable to any cancellation, as well as the determination of whether a Product has reached substantial completion, shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of GSFA. Customer may request a fee waiver, and GSFA, in its sole discretion, may agree to waive and/or adjust such fee. GSFA will return the balance of the Grand Total Purchase Price or Product Purchase Price, as applicable, within thirty (30) calendar days of the effective date of the cancellation of the Product order or termination of the Agreement.

Customer may terminate the Agreement for an Event of Default by GSFA after providing GSFA with written notice in accordance with Section 16 (which notice shall describe with reasonably particularity the Event of Default justifying such termination) if such Event of Default remains uncured (if capable of cure) thirty (30) days following GSFA’s receipt of such notice; provided, however, that the foregoing cure period shall continue if and for so long as GSFA has commenced and is continuing to undertake commercially reasonable efforts to cure such Event of Default as promptly as reasonably practicable.
b. By GSFA. GSFA may terminate the Agreement for an Event of Default by Customer after providing Customer with written notice in accordance with Section 16 (which notice shall describe with reasonably particularity the Event of Default justifying such termination) if such Event of Default remains uncured (if capable of cure) thirty (30) days following Customer’s receipt of such notice; provided, however, that the foregoing cure period shall continue if and for so long as Customer has commenced and is continuing to undertake commercially reasonable efforts to cure such Event of Default as promptly as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GSFA may terminate the Agreement effective immediately upon written notice to Customer for Customer’s failure to pay any amount owed under the Agreement when due.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if Customer terminates a Product order in accordance with Section 9.a above, GSFA may elect to instead terminate the Agreement upon notice to Customer in accordance with Section 16 hereof. If GSFA terminates the Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.b, Customer shall pay the applicable tier of cancellation fee for all Products pursuant to Section 9.a above as if Customer had elected to terminate each applicable Product order.
c. Based on Discontinuation or Cancellation by Manufacturer. In the event that Manufacturer cancels a Product order (provided that such cancellation is not the result of an act by Customer in violation of the Agreement) or discontinues the manufacture of a Product prior to its completion and delivery: (i) if such Product is the only Product contemplated under the Agreement, then the Agreement shall terminate; or (ii) if additional Products are contemplated under the Agreement, then only the Product order for the applicable cancelled or discontinued Product shall be terminated. Such Agreement termination or Product termination, as applicable, shall be effective upon GSFA’s written notice to Customer of such cancellation or discontinuance in accordance with Section 16 hereof.

GSFA’s only obligation to Customer in such event shall be the return of any Prepayment paid by Customer for the cancelled or discontinued Product. For the avoidance of doubt, the cancellation fees contemplated in Section 9.a hereof shall not apply in the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 9.c.

10. Customer’s Obligations. Customer shall provide its timely and best efforts to cooperate with GSFA and Manufacturer during the Product manufacturing process. Reasonable and timely cooperation includes, without limitation, Customer’s providing timely information in response to any requests from Manufacturer or GSFA and the participation of Customer’s authorized representatives in traveling to Manufacturer’s facility for inspections and approval of the Product, including a final approval before the Product leaves Manufacturer’s facility.

11. Representations and Warranties. Customer hereby represents and warrants to GSFA as of the Executed Date that the execution of the Agreement and the purchase of the Product(s) and performance of the other obligations

Page 143 of 568 ends

6 of Customer under the Agreement have been approved by Customer in accordance with applicable general laws and, as applicable, Customer’s charter, ordinances, purchasing policies, and other governing documents, and executed by the appropriate Customer employees, officials, and/or representatives, and funding for Customer’s performance of its obligations under the Agreement has been duly budgeted and appropriated by Customer.

12. Standard Warranty. All applicable Manufacturer warranties are contained in the Product Warranties. Any additional warranties must be expressly approved in a writing signed by GSFA, and Customer acknowledges and agrees that Manufacturer will not be liable for any such additional warranties. a. Disclaimer. OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT, GSFA, ITS AFFILIATES, AND THEIR
