Outside Legal Counsel Services Agreement Exhibit B, Compensation
EXHIBIT B
COMPENSATION
1. Legal Project Management Plan. For each matter assigned by the City Attorney, Outside Legal Counsel must prepare a Legal Project Management Plan (“Plan”) within 60 days of retention as the initial report to the City Attorney.
The Plan should include a written statement regarding: (1) the scope of the work; (2) the strategy to be pursued; (3) the staffing required; (4) estimated legal fees and significant expenditures, as outlined in the Budget section of these requirements; (5) the estimated settlement value; and (6) the advisability of alternative dispute resolution. If it appears that a case will go to trial, a separate estimate of trial costs should be prepared no later than the close of discovery or 60 days before trial whichever is later. Any significant changes to the Plan must be approved by the City Attorney before implementation of such changes. The Plan, including the budget, must be updated every six months without exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City Attorney, in his/her discretion, may make routine advisory or transactional assignments to Outside Counsel without the need for a Legal Project Management Plan on a case-by-case basis.
Motions should only be pursued when a stipulated or negotiated resolution of the issue cannot be achieved. Advance approval from the City Attorney is required before undertaking pretrial motions. In all matters, both the City Attorney and Outside Legal Counsel will use a cost-benefit analysis to determine the City’ s interests. The analysis will weigh the anticipated benefits of a particular course of action against the estimated costs, discounted by the probability that the benefits will actually be achieved.
2. Budgets. At the discretion of the City Attorney, Outside Legal Counsel shall provide the City Attorney with a written budget setting forth the scope of work for every legal project, as well as the estimated fees and disbursements. This budget shall be a part of the Legal Project Management Plan. The budget shall explain all of the assumptions on which it is based and specify the following: (i) a detailed description of each separate task, such as motions, pleadings, depositions, reports, etc.; (ii) the name and billing rate for each lawyer and legal assistant to be involved; (iii) the amount of time each task is expected to take; and (iv) the budgeted charges for each task, broken down by month. Outside Legal Counsel’s compensation under this Agreement shall not exceed the budgeted amount as agreed upon unless amended with the prior approval of the City Attorney. Outside Legal Counsel must notify the City Attorney promptly in the event unanticipated issues cause the estimated legal fees or disbursements to vary significantly from those projected in the current budget. Outside Legal Counsel shall notify City in writing no later than thirty (30) days prior to the estimated date when Outside Legal Counsel will have billed City the budgeted amount, and Outside Legal Counsel shall provide City with an estimate of the additional compensation required to complete the project. For any matter report ed to PRISM , Outside Legal Counsel shall also include on each invoice the amount billed to date toward SI R and amount of SIR remaining.
3. Billable Hourly Rate . Outside Legal Counsel shall provide the City Attorney with a schedule of billing rates for the specified partners, associates, and legal assistants applicable to the Docusign Envelope ID: D4D0C684-082D-475C-B70B-F05384415CC6
Outside Legal Counsel Services Agreement Exhibit B, Compensation
Legal Assignment. Outside Legal Counsel’s schedule of billing rates shall be incorporated herein as Attachment 1 to Exhibit B.
At least 60 days written notice must be given to the City Attorney of any proposed changes in billing rates, and approval must be obtained from the City Attorney prior to the implementation of such changes. Hourly rates include all overhead and internal charges. City agrees to pay Outside Legal Counsel, at the rate(s) as established in Attachment 1 of Exhibit B and in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit B. No partner or associate other than those specified in the budget shall work on or bill for time on a Legal Assignment without prior City Attorney approval.
4. Outside Legal Counsel’s Reimbursable Expenses. Reimbursable Expenses shall be limited to actual reasonable expenditures of Outside Legal Counsel for expenses that are necessary for the proper completion of the Services and shall only be payable if specifically authorized in advance by City.
A. Vehicle. The City authorizes mileage reimbursed at the IRS approved per mile rate (currently 70 cents per/mile) for the use of personal automobiles for business. In addition, all expenditures incurred for parking and tolls will be fully reimbursed when an attorney uses his or her own automobile on City business. Fines for moving and parking violations will not be reimbursed by the City.
B. Delivery/Courier. Standard mail services should be used whenever possible. The preparation of written correspondence and documents should be completed in time to avoid unnecessary use of express mail and delivery services at extra cost. Charges for certified, registered, insured, other special handling or express mail should be billed at the actual cost incurred. Billing should reflect the event that caused the need for urgent delivery.
Failure of proper time management on a case is no reason for in curring these changes.
Only actual mileage for in-house couriers may be billed at the IRS approved rate with no additional surcharge. Actual charges for outside services may be billed.
C. Travel. Air travel should be coach class, and, if possible, by discounted fares.
Actual charges incurred for meals will be reimbursed when Outside Legal Counsel is representing the City on out-of-town travel. Other meal expenses will not be paid.
All travel expenses require an itemized accounting submitted with Outside Legal Counsel’s bill. This accounting must include detailed information about car rental, hotel, air and train fare, and travel meals, regardless of amount.
D. Experts/Specialists. To retain third parties on behalf of the City, such as expert witnesses or specialists, Outside Legal Counsel must obtain approval in advance from the City Attorney.
5. Payments to Outside Legal Counsel. Payments to Outside Legal Counsel shall be made within a reasonable time after receipt of Outside Legal Counsel’s invoice. Bills should be submitted no more than once a month, but no less than every ninety days unless other arrangements have been approved. Outside Legal Counsel shall be responsible for the cost of supplying all documentation necessary to verify the monthly billings to the satisfaction of City.

COMMERCIAL AUTOMOBILE BROAD FORM
ENDORSEMENT
This endorsement modifies insurance provided under the following:
BUSINESS AUTO COVERAGE FORM
To the extent that the provisions of this endorsement provide broader benefits to the "insured" than other provisions of the Coverage Form, the provisions of this endorsement apply.
1. BROAD FORM INSURED
A. Subsidiaries and Newly Acquired or
Formed Organizations
The Named Insured shown in the
Declarations is amended to include:
(1) Any legal business entity other than a
partnership or joint venture, formed as a
subsidiary in which you have an
ownership interest of more than 50% on
the effective date of the Coverage Form.
However, the Named Insured does not
include any subsidiary that is an
"insured" under any other automobile
policy or would be an "insured" under
such a policy but for its termination or
the exhaustion of its Limit of Insurance.
(2) Any organization that is acquired or
formed by you and over which you
maintain majority ownership. However,
the Named Insured does not include any
newly formed or acquired organization:
(a) That is a partnership or joint
venture,
(b) That is an "insured" under any other
policy,
(c) That has exhausted its Limit of
Insurance under any other policy, or
(d) 180 days or more after its
acquisition or formation by you,
unless you have given us notice of
the acquisition or formation.
Coverage does not apply to "bodily
injury" or "property damage" that results
from an "accident" that occurred before
you formed or acquired the organization.
B. Employees as Insureds
Paragraph A.1. - WHO IS AN INSURED - of
SECTION II - LIABILITY COVERAGE is
amended to add:
d. Any "employee" of yours while using a
covered "auto" you don't own, hire or
borrow in your business or your
personal affairs.
C. Lessors as Insureds
Paragraph A.1. - WHO IS AN INSURED - of
Section II - Liability Coverage is amended to
add:
e. The lessor of a covered "auto" while the
"auto" is leased to you under a written
agreement if:
(1) The agreement requires you to
provide direct primary insurance for
the lessor and
(2) The "auto" is leased without a driver.
Such a leased "auto" will be considered a
covered "auto" you own and not a covered
"auto" you hire.
D. Additional Insured if Required by Contract
(1) Paragraph A.1. - WHO IS AN INSURED
- of Section II - Liability Coverage is
amended to add:
f. When you have agreed, in a written
contract or written agreement, that a

business auto policy, such person or
organization is an "insured", but only
to the extent such person or
organization is liable for "bodily
injury" or "property damage" caused
by the conduct of an "insured" under
paragraphs a. or b. of Who Is An
Insured with regard to the
ownership, maintenance or use of a
covered "auto."

© 2011, The Hartford (Includes copyrighted material
Form HA 99 16 03 12 of ISO Properties, Inc., with its permission.) Page 2 of 5 The insurance afforded to any such
additional insured applies only if the
"bodily injury" or "property damage"
occurs:
(1) During the policy period, and
(2) Subsequent to the execution of such
written contract, and
(3) Prior to the expiration of the period
of time that the written contract
requires such insurance be provided
to the additional insured.
(2) How Limits Apply
If you have agreed in a written contract
or written agreement that another
person or organization be added as an
additional insured on your policy, the
most we will pay on behalf of such
additional insured is the lesser of:
(a) The limits of insurance specified in
the written contract or written
agreement; or
(b) The Limits of Insurance shown in
the Declarations.
Such amount shall be a part of and not
in addition to Limits of Insurance shown
in the Declarations and described in this
Section.
(3) Additional Insureds Other Insurance
If we cover a claim or "suit" under this
Coverage Part that may also be covered
by other insurance available to an
additional insured, such additional
insured must submit such claim or "suit"
to the other insurer for defense and
indemnity.
However, this provision does not apply
to the extent that you have agreed in a
written contract or written agreement
that this insurance is primary and non-
contributory with the additional insured's
own insurance.
(4) Duties in The Event Of Accident, Claim,
Suit or Loss
If you have agreed in a written contract
or written agreement that another
person or organization be added as an
additional insured on your policy, the
additional insured shall be required to

Only with respect to insurance provided to
an additional insured in 1.D. - Additional
Insured If Required by Contract, the
following provisions apply:
(3) Primary Insurance When Required By
Contract
This insurance is primary if you have
agreed in a written contract or written
agreement that this insurance be
primary. If other insurance is also
primary, we will share with all that other
insurance by the method described in
Other Insurance 5.d.
(4) Primary And Non-Contributory To Other
Insurance When Required By Contract
If you have agreed in a written contract
or written agreement that this insurance
is primary and non-contributory with the
additional insured's own insurance, this
insurance is primary and we will not
seek contribution from that other
insurance.
Paragraphs (3) and (4) do not apply to other
insurance to which the additional insured
has been added as an additional insured.
When this insurance is excess, we will have no
duty to defend the insured against any "suit" if
any other insurer has a duty to defend the
insured against that "suit". If no other insurer
defends, we will undertake to do so, but we will
be entitled to the insured's rights against all
those other insurers.
When this insurance is excess over other
insurance, we will pay only our share of the
amount of the loss, if any, that exceeds the sum
of:
(1) The total amount that all such other
insurance would pay for the loss in the
absence of this insurance; and
(2) The total of all deductible and self-insured
amounts under all that other insurance.
We will share the remaining loss, if any, by the
method described in Other Insurance 5.d.
2. AUTOS RENTED BY EMPLOYEES

on your behalf and at your direction will be
considered an "auto" you hire.

© 2011, The Hartford (Includes copyrighted material
Form HA 99 16 03 12 of ISO Properties, Inc., with its permission.) Page 3 of 5 If an "employee’s" personal insurance also
applies on an excess basis to a covered "auto"
hired or rented by your "employee" on your
behalf and at your direction, this insurance will
be primary to the "employee’s" personal
insurance.
3. AMENDED FELLOW EMPLOYEE EXCLUSION
EXCLUSION 5. - FELLOW EMPLOYEE - of
SECTION II - LIABILITY COVERAGE does not
apply if you have workers' compensation
insurance in-force covering all of your
"employees".
Coverage is excess over any other collectible
insurance.
4. HIRED AUTO PHYSICAL DAMAGE COVERAGE
If hired "autos" are covered "autos" for Liability
Coverage and if Comprehensive, Specified
Causes of Loss, or Collision coverages are
provided under this Coverage Form for any
"auto" you own, then the Physical Damage
Coverages provided are extended to "autos" you
hire or borrow, subject to the following limit.
The most we will pay for "loss" to any hired
"auto" is:
(1) $100,000;
(2) The actual cash value of the damaged or
stolen property at the time of the "loss"; or
(3) The cost of repairing or replacing the
damaged or stolen property,
whichever is smallest, minus a deductible. The
deductible will be equal to the largest deductible
applicable to any owned "auto" for that
coverage. No deductible applies to "loss" caused
by fire or lightning. Hired Auto Physical Damage
coverage is excess over any other collectible
insurance. Subject to the above limit, deductible
and excess provisions, we will provide coverage
equal to the broadest coverage applicable to any
covered "auto" you own.
We will also cover loss of use of the hired "auto"
if it results from an "accident", you are legally
liable and the lessor incurs an actual financial
loss, subject to a maximum of $1000 per
"accident".
This extension of coverage does not apply to
any "auto" you hire or borrow from any of your
"employees", partners (if you are a partnership),
members (if you are a limited liability company),
or members of their households.
5. PHYSICAL DAMAGE - ADDITIONAL
TEMPORARY TRANSPORTATION EXPENSE
COVERAGE
Paragraph A.4.a. of SECTION III - PHYSICAL
DAMAGE COVERAGE is amended to provide a
limit of $50 per day and a maximum limit of
$1,000.

COVERAGE, in the event of a total "loss" to a
covered "auto", we will pay your additional legal
obligation for any difference between the actual
cash value of the "auto" at the time of the "loss"
and the "outstanding balance" of the loan/lease.
"Outstanding balance" means the amount you
owe on the loan/lease at the time of "loss" less
any amounts representing taxes; overdue
payments; penalties, interest or charges
resulting from overdue payments; additional
mileage charges; excess wear and tear charges;
lease termination fees; security deposits not
returned by the lessor; costs for extended
warranties, credit life Insurance, health, accident
or disability insurance purchased with the loan or
lease; and carry-over balances from previous
loans or leases.
7. AIRBAG COVERAGE

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Vallejo (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the DocuSign system.
Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure (ERSD), please confirm your agreement by selecting the check-box next to ‘I agree to use electronic records and signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the DocuSign system.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure created on: 10/10/2019 1:09:10 PM Parties agreed to: Ruth M. Bond, Randy J. Risner For, Veronica Nebb, Katelyn M. Knight
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures electronically from us.

FROM: Nalungo Conley, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026 BUDGET TO APPROPRIATE $151,000 IN MONSANTO FUNDS TO SUPPORT PERFORMANCE AUDIT SERVICES (STEP 2 OF 2)
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution to amend the Fiscal Year FY 2025–2026 Budget and appropriate $151,000 from the Monsanto Fund to support audit services for a Risk Assessment and Internal Control Review of various City departments (Step 2 of 2).
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
Pursuant to City Charter Section 703, amendments to the adopted budget require a two-step process.
Step 1 requires providing the City Council with notice of the City’s intent to amend the budget. This step was completed at the March 3, 2026 Special City Council meeting. Step 2 requires adoption of a resolution to amend the budget and appropriate the funding.
Approving this item will allow the City to proceed with engaging performance audit services to evaluate internal processes and operational risks across various City departments

At the February 10, 2026 City Council meeting, Council directed staff to establish an on-call list of qualified firms to provide performance audit and assessment services and to provide direction regarding initial services to be performed.
Following a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process issued on July 30, 2025, eight proposals were received and evaluated by a panel consisting of City staff and an external subject matter expert. After evaluation and interviews, three firms were identified as highly qualified to provide audit and assessment services:
• Government Performance & Policy Analytics, Inc.
• Sjoberg Evashenk Consulting
• Macias Gini & O’Connell, LLP
These firms provide a range of expertise in performance auditing, risk assessment, and organizational analysis and will be available to support the City on an on-call basis.
As part of the initial work plan, staff proposed engaging consultants to conduct the following assessments:
• Organizational Assessment / Benchmarking Study – evaluates the City’s organizational structure, staffing

levels, and service delivery models compared with peer agencies to identify opportunities for operational efficiencies and improved service outcomes.
• Risk Assessment – identifies operational, financial, and compliance risks across City departments to inform the City’s future audit work plan and strengthen oversight processes.
• Internal Control Review (Overtime Management) – evaluates policies, procedures, and internal controls related to overtime management to identify opportunities for improved accountability and cost management.
At the March 3, 2026 Special City Council meeting, staff presented the proposed scope of work for these assessments and received Council approval to move forward with the notice of intent to amend the FY 2025– 2026 budget to appropriate $151,000 from the Monsanto Fund to support the Risk Assessment and Internal Control Review.
The information gathered from these assessments will provide valuable baseline data to assist the City Manager and City Council in evaluating operational efficiencies, informing development of the FY 2026–2027 budget, and supporting the City’s long-term financial planning efforts.
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff is requesting authorization to appropriate $151,000 from the Monsanto Fund to support the proposed performance audit services.
The Monsanto Fund currently has a balance of approximately $2,407,022. If approved, the allocation of $151,000 will result in a remaining balance of approximately $2,256,022.
These funds will support consulting services associated with the risk assessment and internal control review.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has the potential of resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026 BUDGET IN THE AMOUNT OF $32,775.88 FROM THE MALLINCKRODT BANKRUPTCY FOR OPIOID TRAINING AND EDUCATION (STEP 2 OF 2)
RECOMMENDATION
Amend the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget by $32,775.88 in unrealized revenues from the Mallinckrodt Bankruptcy funding and amend expenditures for the same.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
Staff have identified uses for these funds that conform with the utilization requirements, lessen impacts to the General Fund, and educate regarding opioid and substance abuse. Per City Charter Section 703, amending the budget requires a public notice of intent prior to any action taken (step 1). Step 1 came before City Council at the March 24th, 2026 City Council meeting. This is step 2 of the 2-step process to amend the budget.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
This is step 2 of the 2-step process to amend the budget. Step 1 came before City Council at the March 24th, 2026 City Council meeting.
On October 12, 2020, Mallinckrodt PLC, a pharmaceutical company engaged in the development, manufacturing, and marketing of pharmaceutical products, including opioids, commenced bankruptcy proceedings in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to, among other things, address their opioid liabilities. In connection with the bankruptcy filing, Mallinckrodt entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (“RSA”) with Attorneys General for 50 states and territories. The RSA established the National Opioid Abatement Trust (NOAT) II for the distribution of funds to Mallinckrodt PLC’s public creditors.
The City of Vallejo has received $32,775.88 from the Mallinckrodt Bankruptcy and no additional funding is to be anticipated from this source.
The Vallejo Police Department has identified two potential uses for the funds:
Opioid and Substance Abuse Training - The Connect and Protect: Law Enforcement Behavioral Health Response Program has a local-match requirement to fund Opioid and Substance Abuse training for officers.
The cost of the training/local match amount is $25,250.
The 3rd Grade Reading Program - Vallejo Police Department, in partnership with VCUSD and IHART, conduct an annual 3rd Grade Reading Program. Officers visit classrooms and read Making It Better in Vallejo by Andre Lewis to students, and gift over 800 books annually. The recent edition of the book contains educational information regarding opioids and substance abuse and safety in a fashion understandable by young children. The cost of printing the books amounts to $4,660.13.
Any additional funding offsets the staff time for those participating in these programs. City staff proposes to

use the opioid funds to support these two eligible activities.
FISCAL IMPACT
This action will amend the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 budget and increase revenues by $32,775.88, and the corresponding expenditures by the same amount.

RECOMMENDATION
Vallejo City Council to approve a proclamation recognizing April 2026 as Arts, Culture, and Creativity Month.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
To raise awareness that arts, culture and creativity are essential to a vibrant, inclusive and thriving community.
This proclamation was requested by the Commission on Culture and the Arts. Granting of this proclamation is in accordance with Vallejo City Council Policy and Procedure for Issuance of Ceremonial Documents.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Arts and culture bring value to the community.
Quoting from the California Arts Council website, Arts and Culture benefit us in the following areas:
Economic Impact
• Jobs – Ten percent of California jobs are part of the creative industries. • Economic growth – The creative industries account for 7.8% of California's GDP. • Tourism – Arts travelers stay longer and spend more money than the average tourist. • Workforce contributions – California's creative industries employ 1.4 million workers who earn $99.3 billion in annual income
Healthy Communities
• Civic Pride – A high concentration of arts in a city leads to less poverty, more civic engagement, and social cohesion.
• Cross-cultural harmony – The arts help people express values, feel empathy, and triumph over their differences.
• Health care – Arts’ healing benefits result in shorter hospital stays and better pain management; music therapy helps stroke and head injury patients regain their ability to speak.
Arts Education
• 21st century workforce – Creativity is the #1 attribute sought by today’s employers. • Academic achievement – A student involved in the arts is four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement.
• Attendance – Arts engagement results in higher attendance and lower dropout rates. • College readiness – Low-income students with high arts engagement are more than twice as likely to graduate college as their peers with no arts education.
Arts-in-Corrections
• Reducing recidivism – Arts programs in prisons help reduce recidivism rates. • Safety – Arts programs direct inmates' energy in a positive direction and lower tension levels, resulting in a

safer prison environment.
• Inmate growth – Inmates who engage with the arts are more likely to be intellectually flexible, self-confident, motivated, and socially competent.
• At-risk youth – At-risk students with access to the arts tend to have higher career goals, better workforce opportunities, and more civic engagement

FROM: Gillian Haen, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN THE CITY OF VALLEJO AND SCOTTS VALLEY BAND OF POMO INDIANS
FOR TEMPORARY CITY SERVICES FOR TEMPORARY TRIBAL DEVELOPMENT AND
ENCROACHMENT PERMIT, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE SAME,
AND FINDING SUCH ACTIONS EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15303 AND SECTION 15304
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Vallejo (City) and Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians (Tribe) for temporary City Services for temporary Tribal development, authorize the City Manager to execute same, and finding such actions exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15303 and 15304.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The Tribe approached the City regarding entering into an MOU with the City to provide Temporary Services (police, fire and water) and agreeing to a process for the issuance of an encroachment permit for utilities to support interim development activities on the Tribal trust land located within the City of Vallejo. City Council provided direction to staff to negotiate a MOU regarding the provision of Temporary Services to the Temporary Development. The original request included the development of Temporary Tribal Offices. Subsequently, the Tribe adjusted the request to include the use of the temporary modular buildings for tribal gaming activities under federal law and has since requested the original office uses as well. Staff have analyzed the potential impacts of the requested services and find that the City has capacity to serve the limited temporary use, provided that certain mitigations are implemented.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Background
In 2016, the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians (Tribe) submitted a request to the Secretary of the U.S.
Department of the Interior to acquire land in Vallejo into federal trust as its restored lands, for the benefit of the Tribe and in support of a proposed casino and tribal homeland project. In the years that followed, Tribal officials met with members of the City Council and City staff during the mayoral administrations of Osby Davis and Bob Sampayan to discuss the Tribe’s plans.
In July 2024, following eight years of federal review and litigation, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) of the Department of the Interior prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) to analyze the potential environmental consequences of the Tribe's proposed Casino and Tribal Housing Project, which included the acquisition by the BIA of a 160- acre property into federal trust status for the benefit of the Tribe for gaming purposes (the Tribal Property). The Tribal Property was taken into federal trust on January 10, 2025, and the Tribe announced its intention to develop a casino facility, Tribal housing, a Tribal administration building, and associated parking and infrastructure on the Project Site (Proposed Project). The federal actions necessary to implement the Proposed Project triggered the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15303 AND SECTION 15304
For the purpose of the Environmental Assessment (EA) under NEPA, the BIA is the Lead Agency and the City of Vallejo is a Responsible Agency.
The Tribal Property consists of four parcels (Assessor Parcel Numbers 0182010010, 0182020020, 0182020080, 0182020010) within the City of Vallejo in Solano County, California. The Tribal Property is bordered by I-80 to the west; Columbus Parkway and commercial development to the south; undeveloped land to the north; and undeveloped land, a City water tank, electrical substation, and Vallejo Fire Station #27 to the east. The Tribal Property is undeveloped except for several unpaved ranch roads and the Temporary Development which is the subject of the Memorandum of Understanding being considered this evening. Note, the Tribal Property previously included a former horse boarding facility which was demolished in 2025.
On July 8, 2024, the BIA circulated the NEPA EA for public review. The City of Vallejo analyzed the NEPA EA document and submitted comments to the BIA on August 22, 2024 addressing potential impacts of the contemplated casino and housing project on the City. City staff also participated in the public hearing on the document on July 23, 2024.
Prior to the City submitting its comment letter, the Tribe reached out to City staff to discuss the potential impacts on the City of Vallejo. The Tribe offered to engage with the City to further study and analyze the potential impacts of the Proposed Casino and Housing Project and discuss potential mitigation measures for the potential impacts on the City. City Council authorized staff to begin analyzing impacts with expert consultants and to negotiate a Cooperative Agreement to memorialize the next steps for the City’s involvement.
On November 19, 2024, the City and the Tribe entered into a Cooperative Agreement that formalized the Parties’ commitment to initiating discussions and establishing a foundational framework for cooperative dialog on matters of shared interest relating to the Proposed Casino and Housing Project and the Tribal Property. In late 2024, the Tribe’s General Council and Tribal Council approved the Cooperative Agreement via their own resolutions including limited waiver of sovereign immunity for enforcement of the Agreement. Immediately upon the execution of this Cooperative Agreement, the Parties commenced diligent and good faith negotiations to finalize, approve, execute and deliver an Intergovernmental Agreement. The Intergovernmental Agreement would provide binding and enforceable mitigations of potentially significant environmental effects of the Proposed Casino and Housing Project, including but not limited to:
Water Infrastructure, Easements, Capacity and Supply: Design, connection, and expansion of water services to support the Proposed Project and Project Site’s development, including any necessary easements, infrastructure, necessary supply, and capacity expansion.
Sewer, Wastewater and Stormwater: Coordinating with the Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District and the City on the establishment of appropriate easements and infrastructure necessary for wastewater and stormwater services and capacity, therefore.
Vehicle and Emergency Access: Ensuring adequate access to the Proposed Project and Project Site for vehicles, including emergency services, to maintain public safety and facilitate emergency response.
Transportation Infrastructure and Capacity: Design, planning and construction of necessary infrastructure for traffic and transportation to address both local and regional impacts.
Public Safety Services: Identifying service level capacity necessary for law enforcement, fire protection, and

Social Impacts: Identifying adequate measures to address social impacts resulting from the Proposed Project, such as gambling addiction, personal bankruptcies, prostitution, drug addiction, and crime.
Other Impacts: Facilitating discussions of any other impacts identified in the Environmental Assessment or those which may be identified by the Parties during the negotiations contemplated herein.
Since execution of the Cooperative Agreement, the Tribe has funded impact analysis in the areas outlined above through a Reimbursement Agreement with the City.
As stated above, on January 10, 2025, the Department of the Interior (DOI) approved the land into trust application and placed the 160 acres into trust for benefit of the Tribe. However, on March 27, 2025, the Department of the Interior issued a letter rescinding the site’s gaming eligibility determination. That rescission triggered and remains the subject of ongoing litigation. This ongoing litigation does not involve the City of Vallejo.
On May 27, 2025, the City Council authorized, and on May 29, 2025 the City of Vallejo sent a letter to the DOI regarding the Temporary Rescission of the Gaming Eligibility made on March 27, 2025 by the DOI.
On September 19, 2025, the Tribe began site work on its Tribal Property land in Vallejo to establish temporary office facilities. As use of the Tribal Property is governed by federal law, it is, absent agreement with the Tribe relating to jurisdiction, not subject to the City's land use, building or zoning regulations and the Tribe does not have to obtain the City's consent to develop the property.
Notwithstanding the Tribe's sovereign immunity under federal law, relating to its right to erect structures on the Tribal Property without going through the City's formal land use, zoning and building entitlement processes, the Tribe contacted staff and expressed interest in negotiating an MOU with the City for the provision of temporary City services including Water, Police and Fire to serve the temporary office facilities being worked on by the Tribe. Staff received a first draft of a proposed MOU from the Tribe on August 4, 2025. Staff reviewed the draft in order to ascertain if the proposal was something staff could recommend, prepared a staff report and brought the draft forward to the City Council for direction on September 30, 2025. City staff felt it was important to bring the Temporary uses and proposed MOU for the Council to consider before moving forward with engaging in negotiation of specific terms.
At its September 30, 2025 meeting, City Council authorized staff to proceed to negotiate an MOU with the Tribe related to the provision of temporary City services to a portion of the Tribal Property upon which the Tribe was constructing temporary structures. In order to help inform negotiations on the terms of the proposed MOU for Temporary services, on December 9, 2025, staff engaged with the consultant AP Triton to assess impacts on Public Safety for the proposed Temporary Uses in order to understand impacts and possible mitigations. Staff also engaged with West Yost and City Water staff to analyze water capacity for the Temporary Development to ensure capacity exists before moving the MOU forward for consideration, as well as to understand the Water Department's needs and potential concerns relating to the provision of contemplated water services.

The original draft MOU and negotiations with staff centered around providing Temporary Police, Fire and Water services to the Temporary Development consisting of two prefabricated temporary structures for office uses, associated parking areas, and access ways. The contemplated MOU would provide details of the provision of the requested services on a reimbursable basis, while impact analysis and negotiation on a Future Intergovernmental Agreement for the larger casino project continued. Staff began negotiating terms of the MOU for the temporary provision of services for the temporary Tribal offices after Council direction on September 30, 2025.
On November 19, 2025, the Tribe notified the City that due to the recent litigation update that gaming eligibility was re-instated, the Tribe was going to pursue a small-scale gaming activity in the modular units previously planned for the Tribal offices. The City was not aware of this change in project description to add the class II gaming facility within the temporary modulars until the Tribe communicated it November 19, 2025, after which staff promptly notified City Council by email and in one on one check-ins. The contractor change order is dated December 3, 2025, which includes the changes from offices to class II gaming in the proposed temporary modular units. The project description was subsequently updated by the Tribe and presented to staff on January 18, 2026.
The current project description, attached as Exhibit C to the draft MOU, provides for a limited, temporary development of a parking area, two modular buildings to be used for tribal gaming purposes, and a third modular building to be used for tribal offices. Continuous onsite security will be maintained on a 24/7 basis. This temporary gaming and office proposal does not include the larger casino development.
Future plans for the 160-acre property (not included within this current proposal) include development of a casino facility with restaurants, bars, and a ballroom for events, to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The project also includes 24 single-family tribal housing units and a tribal administration building providing office space for up to 30 employees. In addition, approximately 45 acres will be designated as a biological preserve to protect high-quality habitat for special-status species. Collectively, the future project is anticipated to generate approximately 3,640 full-time equivalent jobs.
MOU Terms and Conditions
Although negotiations on the MOU for the Temporary Development for the office and subsequently gaming facilities did not begin prior to November Council notification and input, the Cooperative Agreement previously entered into with the Tribe allows for study and negotiation relating to the impacts of the future larger casino and housing project discussed above. The analysis of impacts to inform the potential future Intergovernmental Agreement and discussion of same began after the Cooperative Agreement was approved on November 19, 2024. This impact analysis is funded by the Tribe through a Reimbursement Agreement and allows the City to have its own experts make recommendations on potential impacts and proposed mitigations for the larger Casino and housing project. The City hired AP Triton to begin analysis of the larger future Casino and housing project impacts and engaged with the consultants on December 10, 2025 to also address the impact assessment of the Temporary Development contemplated in the MOU. The AP Triton final report is attached to this staff report dated January 26, 2026. AP Triton's analysis assumed 24/7 operations of the temporary gaming and office facilities proposed in the MOU and proposes mitigations of approximately $700,000 the first year and $500,000 each year thereafter.

The Tribe hired KlasRobinson consultants to analyze potential Police and Fire impacts of the Temporary Development and to prepare a similar report to the AP Triton report. The KlasRobinson report is also provided as an Attachment dated February 2, 2026. KlasRobinson assessed the annual mitigations to be in the range of $80,000.
Utilizing the AP Triton analysis prepared for the City, staff proceeded to negotiate the mitigations in the Draft MOU with the Tribe. As proposed this evening, the MOU provides for the total mitigations for the Temporary development activities at $602,000 the first year and $502,000 per year thereafter with a maximum of a three- year term.
Specifically, the material terms of the MOU are outlined below for City Council consideration. The detailed financial terms are included in EXHIBITS D and E of the draft MOU.
1. Police Mitigations: The Tribe is currently maintaining 24/7 security onsite for the entirety of the Tribal property. The MOU proposes that the Tribe continue to maintain the 24/7 private security services, but also pay to the City the equivalent of one fully loaded Police Officer position including salary and benefits for the term of the MOU to ensure capacity to serve the project. The Tribe would receive no level of service beyond what current community experiences. Staff will monitor and report on calls for service at 90-day intervals to assess staffing needs (funded by the administrative funding in the mitigation payment). In the case of an extraordinary public safety event at the site, the Tribe will in addition pay the actual costs of augmented services.
3. Fire Mitigations: The Tribe agrees to submit to the City permit process and pay fees for compliance review, to ensure capacity to serve the project, The Tribe will get no additional service beyond what the current community experiences. In an extraordinary event, the Tribe will pay actual costs of augmented services.
4. Water Mitigations: The Tribe agrees to submit to the City permit process and pay fees for compliance review, comply with all City, state and federal water regulations and pay for water usage monthly at the rate charged to outside Vallejo water ratepayers. The Water Department has analyzed capacity for the Temporary project and has stated the system has capacity. See the Water Department memorandum dated April 2, 2026 attached to this staff report.
5. Traffic Mitigations: The Tribe agrees to fund a traffic study to augment the prior study that was not thorough enough to mitigate City of Vallejo traffic impacts for the larger casino project once project information is refined. The Tribe has also agreed to contribute to pothole repair in the area during the temporary activities.

6. Activation and Mobilization Fee (Year 1 Only): The Tribe shall provide a one-time activation and mobilization fee in the amount of $100,000 upon effective date of the MOU. This fee will cover Fire and Police training and other staffing costs during the first year of temporary service provision.
7. Property tax loss: The Tribe has agreed to make payments equivalent to the property taxes previously assessed on the site. This amounts to approximately $12,698 per year for 200 Columbus Parkway. This ensures the City does not lose revenues during the interim timeline.
8. Community Benefits: The Tribe has agreed to fund a charitable budget of $100,000 in 2026 for non- profit support within the City of Vallejo. The City will coordinate with the Tribe on the budget approval of the non-profit support. Also, the Tribe has noted that 15% of 30 employees on the current construction job live within the City of Vallejo.
The following is a comprehensive financial breakdown of the proposed mitigation described above:
Funding Category Amount Equivalent of one (1) fully loaded police officer salary $362,000 Portion of administrative assistant support $27,302 Fees-in-lieu of property taxes (Exl. APN: 0182-010-010) $12,698 Non-Profit donations per year $100,000 Annual Total $502,000
Year One Total (includes $100,000 activation fee) $602,000
***The above mitigations will be required to be paid upon execution of the MOU and services will cease if the MOU is terminated. The City can terminate the MOU for any reason with a 30 day notice to the Tribe.
Additional Community Financial Support
Note that the Tribe has voluntarily made financial contributions to the following community organizations and events in 2025:
Winged Migration Festival

Benefits and Risks of Entering into a MOU for Interim Development of the Interim Development Activities

The benefits to the City of entering into a MOU include the following:
• Provides essential municipal services that safeguard health and safety at the Tribe’s temporary facilities.
• Ensures cost recovery to the City and avoids unfunded impacts on the General Fund. • Strengthens the City’s intergovernmental relationship with the Tribe. • Establishes clear roles and protocols for emergency response, water service, and permitting. • Advances implementation of the Cooperative Agreement approved by Council in November 2024. • Provides an opportunity to address additional community benefits and longer-term infrastructure needs in coordination with the Tribe.
• Independent analysis of areas of concern that are specific to Vallejo in order to ensure mitigation reduces impacts since the land to trust was approved by the BIA. The MOU provides financial mitigation measures which have been analyzed to provide mitigation to lessen the effects on the community and ensure the City is reimbursed for any services provided. Without the mitigation payments, the City may incur unfunded impacts relating to the development if the Tribe proceeds to develop without the MOU.
The risks to the City of entering into a MOU include the following:
• Providing services to the Tribal Property may increase demand on fire and police resource,s which could exceed the financial payments set forth in the MOU. This risk is largely reduced by the termination provisions of the MOU, which can be exercised by the City if costs exceed the financial contributions.
• Enforcement of terms, even with a limited waiver of sovereign immunity, may be more complex than with non-tribal entities.
• Proceeding with the MOU may result in some community members viewing the MOU as committing to the Tribe’s long-term development (e.g., potential casino project), which has yet to be approved and which may never occur.
• One risk of declining to proceed with the MOU is that the Tribe may continue its temporary development activities without City participation. If that occurs, there is some risk of the community feeling the impacts of the Temporary Development but not receiving the offsetting benefits described in the MOU.
Public Comments
On February 4, 2026, the City received a letter from the Lytton Rancheria which outlined several concerns with CEQA and the project review of CEQA for this MOU of the interim project. The letter is attached for reference.
On February 25, 2026, the City received a response letter from The Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians. The letter is attached for reference.

On February 15, 2026, Julie Wang sent an email asking the City to cease and desist any and all actions related to the Scott’s Valley Casino as attached. Given that the Tribe has been declared the beneficial owner of the property by the federal government and that there is no stay or order from the courts preventing the Tribe from developing the property, there is no expected risk in proceeding to engage in discussions or actions relating to the property as the Council may direct.
The Tribe has updated their website to encourage engagement with the Tribal Council. The new website can be found at: www.StandwithScottsValley.com .
Other Issues
As has been previously reported to the Council, in undertaking construction operations onsite, the Tribe’s contractor tapped into an existing water connection onsite without a permit. Water lines were damaged and water was used to the extent of approximately $15,000. An invoice was sent to the Tribe to pay for the unauthorized water use and repair of infrastructure, which was paid thereafter.
Status of Impact Analysis for Larger Casino Project
Since execution of the Cooperative Agreement, the Tribe has funded impact analyses in agreed upon areas through a Reimbursement Agreement with the City as agreed prior. The following studies are currently underway:
• Water Impacts on Capacity and Infrastructure: Near term impacts have been analyzed by West Yost and the City has capacity to serve the interim project. Long term impact analysis is complete as of March 31, 2026 and the report shows the City has capacity to serve the larger casino project if several mitigation measures and system upgrades are incorporated. • Traffic and Transportation Impacts: Initial peer review by Fehr and Peers is complete and recommended further study has been identified. A scope for the additional analysis has been obtained and sent to the Tribe for review.
• Economic and Social Impacts: Draft analysis has been completed partially by Advantage Partners Consulting. City staff has identified additional needs that require another consultant's expertise to outline clear mitigations of the impacts. Staff has procured two additional scopes to undertake the remaining work and has forwarded those scopes to the Tribe for review. • Public Safety Impacts: Long Term impact analysis for the larger casino and housing project is still underway and is expected to take another 6-9 months to complete. • Sewer and Wastewater: Vallejo Flood and Waste District has contracted independently with the Tribe to complete this analysis. The report should be finalized later this year.
Once completed, the studies will provide measured impacts and proposed mitigation measures for each of the impact areas, which will inform the negotiation of a possible Intergovernmental Agreement with the Tribe prior to the commencement of a Gaming Compact and the larger Casino development.

Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians v. Doug Burgum, et al.
On January 10, 2025, the U.S. Department of the Interior issued a final decision accepting four parcels totaling 160-acres into trust for the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians and determining that the parcel qualified as “restored lands” eligible for gaming under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988.
On March 27, 2025, the Department of the Interior issued a letter purporting to temporarily rescind the gaming eligibility determination and reopen the issue for reconsideration, asserting concern that additional materials submitted after the 2022 remand had not been considered. As a result, the land was temporarily ineligible for tribal gaming activities. Scotts Valley immediately challenged the rescission in federal court.
On October 30, 2025, the U.S. District Court held that the rescission violated the Tribe’s procedural due process rights under the Constitution because the Department revoked the eligibility determination without adequate notice or opportunity to be heard. The court vacated the rescission but allowed the Department discretion to continue reconsideration if it chose to do so. Meanwhile, three separate federal lawsuits challenging the January 10 trust acquisition and gaming eligibility determination were filed by other Indian tribes. Those cases are currently stayed while the Department conducts reconsideration proceedings. If those cases proceed in the ordinary course once the stay is lifted, the litigation process—including district court proceedings and potential appeals—could reasonably extend for approximately three years (36 months) before final resolution.
Gaming Compact and Gaming Ordinance Status
• Gaming Compact: On March 4, 2025, the Governor’s Office accepted the Tribe’s request to enter into negotiations for a Tribal–State Class III gaming compact. The Tribe and the State met on March 27, 2025 for their first negotiation session and a second meeting was scheduled for May 14, 2025. After the Department of the Interior issued its March 27, 2025 letter temporarily rescinding the Tribe’s January 10, 2025 gaming eligibility determination for reconsideration, the State requested that upcoming compact negotiation deadlines be put on hold. Following the October 2025 court decision restoring the Tribe’s gaming eligibility, compact negotiations resumed and are ongoing. • Required Compact Approvals: Once a compact is successfully negotiated, it must be ratified by the California State Legislature and approved by the Secretary of the Interior before taking effect. • Tribal Gaming Ordinance: Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians originally adopted a Gaming Ordinance in 1996 to authorize and regulate Class I, II, and III gaming on Tribal lands. On January 28, 2025, the Tribe amended its Gaming Ordinance to ensure continued compliance with IGRA and federal regulations. On March 25, 2025, the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) reviewed and approved the amended Ordinance, confirming that it meets the requirements of IGRA and NIGC regulations. With NIGC approval of the amended Gaming Ordinance, the Tribe has satisfied a critical prerequisite for conducting Class II and, subject to a Tribal–State compact, Class III gaming on its trust lands.

If City Council approves moving forward with the MOU for the Tribe's temporary development, the following steps will take place:
1. Encroachment Permit- City staff will finalize review of the encroachment permit for utilities and the water permits, and will proceed with issuing approvals.
2. Impact Analysis and Intergovernmental Agreement Negotiations- Consultant analysis of potential impacts associated with the larger casino project will continue. As information regarding the scope of the impact areas becomes available, staff will return to City Council to present the studies and proposed mitigation measures, which will inform future negotiations of the potential Intergovernmental Agreement with the Tribe. This impact analysis, funded by the Tribe, will proceed concurrently with the Department of the Interior’s reconsideration process. Following completion of the Department’s reconsideration, if favorable, the Tribe and the City may proceed with negotiations of an Intergovernmental Agreement to memorialize mitigation measures, while the Tribe retains the ability to move forward independently on its trust land.
3. Construction for the temporary development of the temporary modular trailers- PG&E, water, sewer, VIP Fiber permits and plans will be processed and approved prior to construction. This process may take several months before the facility is open to the public.
FISCAL IMPACT
The draft MOU for City Council consideration will result in no net budgetary impact to the City, as the Tribe will be funding all associated costs and staffing as outlined in the Draft MOU.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The approval of the MOU and the actions set forth therein, is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 and 15304, in that the MOU addresses the provision of water and other utility extensions and street improvements of reasonable length that can serve construction of small structures less than 10,000 square feet in floor area, and where al necessary public services are available, in a circumstance where the construction of the structure is not subject to CEQA as the City has no power to approve or disapprove the structures. In addition, the MOU merely provides public services to the site of a temporary use of land having negligible or no permanent effects on the environment where it involves no environmentally sensitive areas, or removal of trees, no slopes greater than 10% will be constructed upon, and where the project is a smaller temporary use of the federal trust property for which a Larger Casino development project was reviewed pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and for which an Environmental Assessment was previously adopted by the Secretary of the Interior.

Memorandum of Understanding Between SVBPI and the City of Vallejo Relating to Temporary Improvements and Services (2026)
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BY AND BETWEEN
CITY OF V ALLEJO AND SCOTTS V ALLEY BAND OF POMO INDIANS RELATING TO
TEMPORARY IMPROVEMENTS AND SERVICES
THIS MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU) is made and entered as of the date fully executed below, by and between SCOTTS V ALLEY BAND OF POMO INDIANS, a federally recognized Indian tribe (“SVBPI”), and the CITY OF V ALLEJO (the “City”), a California municipal corporation. Each referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
WHEREAS, SVBPI is a federally recognized Indian tribe, organized under the Constitution of the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians of the Sugar Bowl Reservation, adopted and approved on September 24, 1994; and
WHEREAS, the United States holds in trust for the benefit of SVBPI certain lands over which SVBPI exercises jurisdiction and governmental authority, including land located at 200 Columbus Parkway, Vallejo, California, identified as Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 0182-020-010, 0182-020-020, 0182-020- 080, and 0182-010-010 (collectively, the “Tribal Property”), as set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, SVBPI possesses unique land, governmental, and cultural interests, and is committed to protecting the safety, welfare, and sovereignty of its members and community, while honoring its cultural heritage and maintaining peaceful conditions on the Tribal Property; and WHEREAS, Public Law 83-280 (67 Stat. 588) grants certain jurisdiction to the State of California over criminal matters and limited civil causes of action on the Tribal Property, and the City acknowledges its rights and responsibilities under applicable law while respecting SVBPI’s sovereign rights; and WHEREAS, SVBPI and the City seek to foster a cooperative and mutually respectful government-to- government relationship, as reflected in a Cooperative Agreement approved by the Vallejo City Council on November 19, 2024, setting forth the Parties’ shared intent to enter into an intergovernmental agreement for municipal services; and
