The statement shall certify the physical condition of the employee/employee’s family member that prevented the employee from performing the duties of said employee’s position during the period of absence.

Abuse of sick leave includes, but is not limited to, not adhering to sick leave policies, using sick leave for purposes not enumerated in this policy, and falsifying or misstating facts when using sick leave. A pattern of sick leave usage on Mondays, Thursdays, and immediately before and after holidays and/or vacations may be evidence of sick leave abuse. A violation of this policy will result in corrective action including counseling and/or disciplinary action, and/or a mandatory referral to the City’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP). This determination of abuse does not apply to an employee’s use of sick leave under an approved family, medical, and/or pregnancy disability leave in accordance with state and federal laws.

M. Employees are required to use accumulated sick leave concurrently with absences on account of a work related injury arising out of and in the course of his/her employment. In cases where the injury suffered is covered by Workers Compensation Insurance, accumulated sick leave must be used concurrently to make up the difference between Workers Compensation Insurance allowance and full base pay. Please refer to Personnel Policy, Family and Medical Leave Policy.

On March 21, 2023, the City awarded Contract No. 20230172 to RAMCO General Engineering Contractors (RAMCO) and Mega Renovation, Inc. for on-call general contractor and minor construction services for the period of March 21, 2023, through March 20, 2026, for a combined total not-to-exceed $350,000. The contract was awarded to two firms simultaneously to allow the City flexibility to assign work to either firm based on pricing and availability. On June 3, 2025 an additional $100,000 was approved and increased the contract amount to $450,000. Due to the work completed by both firms to date, an additional $55,391 is being requested as the remaining funds are insufficient to process the outstanding invoices received.

The City of Vernon owns residential and municipal buildings which require occasional minor construction work such as remodeling or repair work. These services are essential to maintaining and improving city facilities and infrastructure in a timely and cost-effective manner and augments the expertise of Public Works crews. These services also supplement existing City staff to ensure that construction projects are completed. City staff will continue to perform work when projects are within the scope of staff’s skillset and when time permits personnel to tend to project tasks efficiently and urgently. The additional $55,391 will ensure all invoices are paid and the account is current. To date, $158,517 has been paid to RAMCO and $291,205 has been paid to Mega.

The cost of the outstanding invoices will cause the combined contract total to exceed $450,000.

The RAMCO invoice in the amount of $15,191 reflects work completed at the City Yard consisting of the installation of a chain-link fence to enclose designated office trailers. The Mega invoice in the amount of $40,200 reflects remodeling work completed at a vacant City-owned residential property. The improvements were necessary to prepare the unit for occupancy by a new tenant.

If approved by Council, the additional funds would be encumbered in Munis and the total not-toexceed amount for Contract No. 20230172 would increase to $505,391, with amounts paid to either firm counting towards this total. An amendment is not necessary as no contractual information is being changed. Council approval is required as the total amount spent with both firms exceeds $100,000.

Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact of additional funds requested is not-to-exceed $55,391. The service provider’s fees are based on actual work performed. Any amount paid to either RAMCO or Mega shall count towards the not-to-exceed amount. Sufficient funds are available in the General Fund, Public Works, Facilities Maintenance, Repairs & Maintenance Account No. 011-040-415-529000 and the General Fund, Public Works, City Housing, Repairs & Maintenance Account No. 011-040- 410-529000 for the current fiscal year.

THIS ENDORSEMENT CHANGES THE POLICY. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

BA 99 04 06 18 Includes copyrighted material of Insurance Services Office, Inc., with its permission. Page 1 of 1

ADDITIONAL INSURED WHEN REQUIRED BY CONTRACT
This endorsement modifies insurance provided under the following:

BUSINESS AUTO COVERAGE FORM
With respect to coverage provided by this endorsement, the provisions of the Coverage Form apply unless modified by the endorsement.

This provision does not apply in regard to any ownership, maintenance or use of the additional insured’s “autos.” Additional Insured When Required by Contract
(1) Paragraph A.1. – WHO IS AN INSURED –
of Section II – Liability Coverage is
amended to add:
d. When you have agreed, in a written
contract or written agreement, that a
person or organization be added as an
additional insured on your 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.”
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 the insurance is primary and noncontributory with the additional insured’s own insurance.
(4) Duties in The Event Of Accident, Claim,
Suit or Loss
If another person or organization is
added as an additional insured on your
policy, the additional insured shall be
required to comply with the provisions in
A. Loss Conditions 2. – Duties In The
Event Of Accident, Claim, Suit Or
Loss – of SECTION IV – BUSINESS
AUTO CONDITIONS, in the same
manner as the Named Insured.

Meeting Date: February 17, 2026
From: Todd Dusenberry, General Manager of Public Utilities Department: Public Utilities
Submitted by: Adriana Ramos, Principal Management Analyst Subject
Clean Energy Savings Plan for Renewable Energy and Supporting Agreements Recommendation
A. Find that the proposed action is a purely administrative and financial transaction that would not cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and therefore is not a “project” as defined in Section 21065 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and such activity is not subject to CEQA under Section 15060(c)(2) and (c)(3) and Section 15378; B. Adopt Resolution No. 2026-006 approving and authorizing the City Administrator to execute those interrelated agreements (Prepay Agreements) to which the City is a party, in substantially the same form as submitted, with such changes as the City Administrator deems necessary or advisable in furtherance of the purposes of this resolution, for participation in a clean energy savings renewable energy transaction that will create a discount for the City of Vernon (City) in its purchase of certain renewable energy including:

1. A Limited Assignment Agreement (Antelope DSR—Vernon) (the Antelope DSR LAA) among Antelope DSR 1, LLC (Antelope DSR), the Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA) and J.

Confirmation Letter outlining the general terms and conditions of the agreement between the City and BP Energy Company (BP Energy), whose terms are subject to the WSPP Agreement dated October 21, 2024, as amended from time to time (collectively, the BP Energy PPA);

6. A Limited Assignment Agreement (BP Energy—SCPPA/J. Aron) (the BP Energy—SCPPA/J.

Background
Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) continues to progress toward meeting the goal of sourcing 100% carbon-free resources by 2045, while increasing renewable power supplies in a cost-effective manner. VPU proposes to assign existing resources to SCPPA for the purpose of leveraging our tax-exempt status to achieve cost savings of approximately $2.0 million per year. SCPPA is a twelve-member Joint Powers Authority (JPA) comprised of publicly owned utilities and has previously undertaken a similar financing for renewable power resources.

To achieve the anticipated savings, SCPPA proposes to issue Clean Energy Project Revenue Bonds as the tax-exempt financing mechanism, which is allowed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In this prepaid structure, VPU will assign renewable energy products to SCPPA, and SCPPA will assign renewable energy products (including such products assigned by VPU as well as renewable energy products under its own direct PPAs) to J. Aron. VPU will agree to buy back the renewable energy products from SCPPA through a Clean Energy Purchase Contract (CEPC) at a discounted price per megawatt-hour (MWh) from the prices in the existing PPAs. In order to secure the supplies of renewable energy to be sold to VPU and the other Project Participants (Burbank, Colton, and Pasadena) under their respective CEPCs, SCPPA will issue the Clean Energy Project Revenue Bonds to finance a one-time prepayment to an affiliate of J. Aron.

Item 11 Page 2 of 232
It is important to point out that risk mitigation terms have been fully reviewed through the City Attorney’s Office, VPU’s outside law firm, which has extensive experience in these transactions, VPU staff, SCPPA’s external advisors and legal counsel, and incorporated into the prepay energy transaction to protect VPU’s customers. If an adverse event occurs, such as a counterparty’s bankruptcy, the existing PPAs and all their respective terms would revert to VPU.

In assessing risk mitigation, it is also important to contrast this clean energy savings plan with the City’s 2006 Gas Prepay transaction.
2006 Gas Prepay Transaction:

1. The 2006 transaction was unique and is not comparable to the proposed transaction.

2. Vernon sold bonds backed by the electric utility to buy long-term gas.

3. Vernon then sold the power plant, where the long-term gas purchased by Vernon was intended to be consumed, leaving Vernon without the ability to make a qualified use of the gas as required by IRS regulations.

4. Gas was purchased at a long-term fixed price; however, the price was subject to market prices and a discount after the power plant was sold and there was a new municipal counterparty that purchased the gas.

5. Vernon was still obligated to pay for the bonds.
2026 Clean Energy Savings Plan for Renewable Energy Through SCPPA:

1. Vernon is not selling any debt and is not pledging its electric utility revenues.

2. Vernon is taking existing power purchase agreement obligations and putting them into this structure.

3. No new power is being procured, and existing contracts have already been approved by City Council.

4. Vernon will save money on these existing commitments.

5. Vernon only pays for the power received and receives a discount for the savings.

Five separate renewable power purchase agreements (Antelope DSR 1, Astoria 2, Daggett Solar Power 2, Desert Harvest II, and BP Energy) have been evaluated and are identified as ideal candidates for savings through tax-exempt bond financing.

On July 16, 2015, SCPPA entered into a power purchase agreement with Antelope DSR 1, LLC for 50 MW solar photovoltaic generating capacity from the Antelope DSR 1 Solar Facility. The facility is located in the Antelope Valley, Los Angeles County, California, and commercial operation occurred on December 16, 2016, for a term of 20 years.

On July 23, 2014, SCPPA entered into a power purchase agreement with Recurrent Energy for solar energy from the Astoria 2 Solar Project. SCPPA is entitled to 35 MW of solar photovoltaic (PV) generating capacity from commercial operation to December 31, 2021, and 45 MW of generating capacity from January 1, 2022, until the expected expiration date of December 31, 2036. The commercial operation date was December 2016. The facility is located in Tehachapi, Kern County, California. The City is currently contracted to purchase 66.6667% of the output.

The Daggett Solar plus Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project is a 65 MW solar with a 33 MW 4-hour Lithium-Ion BESS. The commercial operation date was December 12, 2023. The project, located in the City of Daggett, San Bernardino County, California, is part of an approximately 482 MW solar PV facility. The project, developed by the Clearway Energy Group, is owned by Daggett Solar Power 2 LLC. On June 24, 2022, SCPPA executed a PPA for 65 MW for the cities of Vernon and Cerritos. The PPA entitles VPU to 60 MW of solar PV output and 30 MW of energy storage. The commercial operation date was December 12, 2023. The power purchase agreement expires on December 31, 2044.

On December 17, 2020, SCPPA executed a power purchase agreement with EDF Renewables for 70 MW of solar PV capacity from the Desert Harvest 2 Solar PV project. The project is a PV system that interconnects at the Marketplace substation and is located on 1,200 acres of Bureau of Land Management land in Desert Center (Riverside County), California. The agreement serves the cities of Anaheim, Burbank, and Vernon. VPU is entitled to 17.14 percent of the Project’s output or about 12 MW. This power purchase agreement, which expires at the end of 2045, only provides Renewable Energy Credits (RECs). RECs demonstrate that electricity was generated from an eligible renewable energy resource and are purchased or sold by eligible entities.

On September 16, 2025, City Council approved the purchase of RECs from BP Energy through a long-term contract, adhering to the general terms and conditions of the WSPP Agreement.

Approving a 10-year Confirmation Letter for the purchase of Portfolio Content Category Product 1 (PCC1, Bucket 1) Energy with BP Energy is beneficial to the City and serves the best interests of its customers since the agreement helps the City meet its renewable energy requirements without committing to a traditional 20 plus year power purchase agreement on a renewable project, with terms and conditions governed by the Western States Power Pool (WSPP) Agreement. This agreement, approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, provides a standardized contract for utilities managing the purchase and sale of wholesale electricity, including RECs. The WSPP Agreement standardizes the terms and conditions for power purchasing, selling, and trading among its members. .

Item 11 Page 4 of 232
Under this proposed SCPPA transaction, SCPPA would assign certain rights and obligations to receive and pay for renewable energy and associated resources under the PPAs to J. Aron.

SCPPA would then issue tax-exempt bonds to finance a one-time prepayment to secure a 30- year supply of renewable energy from an affiliate of J. Aron. The expected source of such energy will be the power purchase agreements assigned by SCPPA to J. Aron, including the PPAs related to Vernon. SCPPA would then sell the energy back to VPU at a reduced cost. SCPPA can leverage its JPA status to issue bonds. Additionally, VPU will benefit by collaborating with other public utilities to leverage this type of savings and achieve transaction sizes that make this economically viable for SCPPA members and their customers.

Other supporting agreements are necessary to complete this transaction. The Custodial Agreement will solely be a clearinghouse for payments and disbursements, similar to a trustee.

The custodian, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, or another financial institution selected by J. Aron, will ensure that all payments received and disbursements are correct and comply with the requirements of the respective PPAs. The Project Coordination and Governance Agreement with SCPPA will establish the terms and cost allocations to administer the project with VPU and other SCPPA project participants. The Letter Agreement with SCPPA limits the parties’ ability to terminate the LAAs to specified events.

This clean energy financing structure has been authorized by governing boards for several other tax-exempt power agencies in California. These agencies have issued prepay renewable energy bonds to achieve savings of 10% to 12% on the originally contracted renewable power prices.

Anaheim Public Utilities realized approximately $5.0 million in annual savings as a result of its 2024 transaction. Additionally, by entering into this transaction with Burbank, Colton, and Pasadena, the City can achieve higher savings together and allocate costs among the four participating utilities. VPU staff have reviewed similar financing structures to ensure that risks are appropriately mitigated. Moreover, we began the detailed review and discussion of this transaction in January 2025. The entire VPU and SCPPA teams have been meeting weekly on this transaction and related documents. Savings from tax-exempt financing will enable VPU to continue mitigating its renewable energy costs and ensure our rates remain competitive with investor-owned utilities and other publicly owned utilities in the surrounding area.

The proposed agreements have been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office and VPU outside counsel.

Fiscal Impact
The estimated annual savings is $2 million. Savings will be used to offset expenses in the Electric Fund, Resource Management, Renewable Energy Credit, Account Number 055-050-590- 520154 for the current fiscal year and subsequent years.
