Summary
Subject: Supplemental Budget Appropriation for the Purchase of (5) Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit Vehicles (FB22-07)
Recommendation: A. Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Finance Director to record a supplemental budget appropriation to account 6610-69401 for the additional costs to purchase the five (5) Chevrolet Tahoe Pursuit Vehicle in the amount of $36,231.55 B. Authorize the Finance Director to increase the award amount to Wheeler Chevrolet for FB 22-07 from $42,613.07 to $49,859.38
Fiscal Impact: $36,231.55 in additional costs for the purchase of the five (5) police vehicles.
The additional funding required is available in the Vehicle Replacement Fund #6610-69401
Purpose:
Acquire additional funding to purchase the five (5) Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit Vehicles Council's Strategic Goal:
This item supports the City Council's Strategic Goal of Public Safety.
Background:
In April 2022 the City approved the purchase of five (5) Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit Vehicles purchased through Wheeler Chevrolet (FB22-07).
Analysis:
In August 2023 Police Department staff received notification that the five (5) Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit Vehicles were in production.
In September 2023 Police Department staff received notification from Wheeler Chevrolet that the price of the vehicles had increased significantly. The previous approved purchase price per vehicle was $42,613.01 with a total for the five (5) vehicles being $213,065.05 that included a five-year warranty.
Wheeler Chevrolet later informed Police Department staff that an extended warranty was not available
for police vehicles. According to Wheeler Chevrolet, the new invoice price per vehicle is $49,859.38 with a total purchase for the five (5) vehicles being $249,296.90. Wheeler Chevrolet advised they were unable to honor the price that was reflected during the bidding process of $42,613.07 with the extended warranty.
Police Department staff spoke with Wheeler Chevrolet staff to inquire about the significant increase.
Police Department staff were advised that the original bid presented by Wheeler Chevrolet reflected the price for a 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe Pursuit Vehicle and not the price for a 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe Pursuit vehicle, because GM had not released the pricing for a 2023 vehicle at the time of the bid process. However, Wheeler Chevrolet had failed to submit any projected price increase during the bid process like the other Chevrolet dealers had done.
Police Department staff spoke with other Chevrolet dealers that specialize in police vehicles to inquire if they had received the same price increase on vehicles agencies had ordered in 2022 for the model year 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit vehicles. Chevrolet staff advised they did see a slight increase, but they lock in pricing when they submit orders through GM. According to a Chevrolet dealer, they possess the California state contract for police vehicles and annually place orders for a significant number of vehicles from GM. During the bidding process, they strongly asserted that Wheeler Chevrolet would be unable to offer a vehicle at the price specified in the bid.
The Police Department has waited for these five (5) vehicles for over two (2) years and is in dire need of these vehicles. The City would see a significant increase in maintenance costs and repairs if the vehicles needing replacement were kept in service for another year. It is likely that these five vehicles needing replacement will not remain operable until the 2024 bidding process opens. Police Department staff spoke with staff at Winner Chevrolet Inc. and asked if they had any 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe Pursuit Vehicles for purchase. Winner Chevrolet Inc. staff advised that all of their 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe Pursuit Vehicles were already accounted for.
Fiscal Impact:
$36,231.55 in additional costs for the purchase of the five (5) police vehicles. The additional funding required is available in the Vehicle Replace Fund #6610-69401 Alternatives:
1. Reject the supplemental budget appropriation
2. Do not purchase the replacement vehicles
Recommendation:
A. Adopt a resolution authorizing the Finance Director to record a supplemental budget appropriation to account 6610-69401 for the additional costs to purchase the five (5) Chevrolet Tahoe Pursuit Vehicle in the amount of $36,231.55.
B. Authorize the Finance Director to increase the award amount to Wheeler Chevrolet for FB 22-07 from $42,613.07 to $49,859.38.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF YUBA CITY
AUTHORIZING AN ADDITIONAL PAYMENT FOR A PRICE INCREASE FROM WHEELER AUTO CENTER REGARDING THE PURCHASE OF FIVE (5)
CHEVROLET TAHOE POLICE VEHICLES
WHEREAS, the City issued a Formal Bid on March 22, 2022 to award a contract to the lowest, most responsive vendor to provide five Chevrolet Tahoe Police vehicles; and WHEREAS, the City received two bids at the time of the bid opening and staff recommend awarding the purchase of the five Chevrolet Tahoe Police vehicles to Wheeler Auto Center of Yuba City, CA as the lowest bidder; and
WHEREAS, Wheeler Auto Center’s bid was for of $42,613.07 per unit, including a fiveyear/100,000 mile warranty; and WHEREAS, City staff contacted Wheeler Auto Center, who confirmed that the bid was correct and was accurate; and
WHEREAS, the City subsequently awarded the bid and approved the purchase of the five Chevrolet Tahoe Police Vehicles from Wheeler Auto Center on April 19, 2022; and WHEREAS, on August 24, 2023, more than a year after the award of the bid, the City’s Police Department first received notice the five Chevrolet Tahoe Police Vehicles were in production; and
WHEREAS, on September 13, 2023, Wheeler Auto Center further informed the City that it would no longer be able to honor the price reflected during the bidding process, and instead stated the price had increased from $42,613.07 to $49,859.38 per unit. This increase did not include the benefit of the five year/100,000 mile warranty for each unit; and WHEREAS, since the bid was originally awarded more than a year and a half ago, the intervening delay has caused the availability of reliable police vehicles to become urgent.
Furthermore, if the City were to restart the bidding process would only compound the impact on the City given automotive production delays and manufacturing times, which could be exacerbated by strikes that are currently affecting General Motors; and WHEREAS, to minimize further impact upon the City, and to ensure the protection public safety, the City Council desires to authorize staff to make the additional payment for the five Chevrolet Tahoe Police vehicles to the Wheeler Auto Center under a reservation of rights as set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Yuba City does resolve as follows:
1. The recitals are incorporated by reference as if set forth in full herein.
2. The City Council authorizes the Finance Director to make a supplemental budget appropriation from the vehicle replacement fund in the amount of $36,231.55.
01248.0010/925819.1
3. The City Council authorizes the Finance Director to make the additional payment in a total amount not to exceed $49,859.38 per unit to acquire the five Chevrolet Tahoe Police vehicles to the Wheeler Auto Center under either a reservation of rights or payment under protest.
4. The City Council finds and declares that nothing in this Resolution shall waive the City’s rights and remedies under the law. Likewise, nothing in this Resolution implies, directly or indirectly, that any delay, post-award change of terms, additional price increases above the bid amount, performance history, etc., are those which constitute the actions of a responsible bidder.
5. This Resolution shall take effect immediately.
The foregoing Resolution was duly and regularly introduced, passed, and adopted by the City Council of the City of Yuba City at a regular meeting thereof held on the 3rd day of October 2023.

Summary
Subject: Purchase of (3) APC Smart-UPS Batteries for Server Rooms Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution awarding the purchase to Quest Media & Supplies, Inc. for the procurement of (3) APC Smart-UPS Modular Ultra batteries in the amount of $82,222 utilizing the CMAS contract; and authorize the Finance Director to make a supplemental appropriation utilizing unallocated fund balance from fund 622, Computer Replacement Fund, in the amount of $22,222 with the finding that it is in the best interest of the City Fiscal Impact: $82,222 - Account No. 6630-69201 (Technology Replacement-ISF, Equipment) Purpose:
To purchase and deploy (3) new UPS units in the (3) IT server rooms.
Council's Strategic Goal:
This item addresses City Council's Strategic Goals of fiscal responsibility and public safety by upgrading the City's battery backup systems, allowing the City's server and network infrastructure to be available continuously even in the event of a power outage. Server and network availability is critical for City operations, especially emergency services.
Background:
The City utilizes APC UPS's (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) in all server and network locations.
These UPS's supply power to critical equipment in the event of a power outage or inconsistent/dirty power. The City has (3) main server rooms that utilize very large UPS's in order to provide continuous power to all equipment within the room. The current units were all purchased in 2013. In 2018, the City replaced the batteries in these units to extend the life of the unit. These units are now beginning to fail and are in need of replacement.
Analysis:
Staff worked with Quest Media & Supplies, Inc. of Roseville, CA, to develop the specifications and requirements for these replacement units. The City and Quest found that the APC Smart-UPS Modular Ultra units would best meet the needs of the City and provide reliable backup power in the event of a
power outage. Quest is able to utilize the California Multiple Awards Schedule (CMAS) to provide the best pricing for the City. As part of the 2023/24 budget adoption, Council allocated $60,000 for the replacement of these (3) units. Due to the increased costs for equipment, specifically batteries and supporting electronics, staff is asking for a supplemental appropriation utilizing unallocated fund balance from fund 622, Computer Replacement Fund, to cover the increase in costs. The unallocated fund balance is currently $2.1M.
Fiscal Impact:
$82,222 - Account No. 6630-69201 (Technology Replacement-ISF, Equipment) Alternatives:
1. Recommend staff replace the batteries and power modules in the existing units a second time. This would cost roughly $99K and extend the life another 5 years.
2. Recommend staff find less expensive alternatives that fit within the existing budget. Staff is familiar with APC products and have been using them for over 20 years. Alternative products would introduce unknown quality and performance in an area that demands reliability and up-time.
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution awarding the purchase to Quest Media & Supplies, Inc. for the procurement of (3) APC Smart-UPS Modular Ultra batteries in the amount of $82,222 utilizing the CMAS contract; and authorize the Finance Director to make a supplemental appropriation utilizing unallocated fund balance from fund 622, Computer Replacement Fund, in the amount of $22,222 with the finding that it is in the best interest of the City Attachments:

CITY OF YUBA CITY
STAFF REPORT
Date: October 3, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Public Works Department
Presentation By: Ben Moody, Public Works & Development Services Director Summary
Subject: Public Works Fiscal Year 23/24 Second Quarter Budget Adjustments Recommendation: Authorize the Finance Director to make transfers within the 7120 Water Treatment Plant and 8120 Wastewater Treatment Facility operating budget accounts as listed in Attachment 1, including supplemental appropriations in the amount of $20,000 from unallocated water funds to the 7120 Water Treatment Plant operating budget and in the amount of $120,918 from unallocated wastewater funds to the 8120 Wastewater Treatment Facility operating budget Fiscal Impact: $20,000 – Acct. No. 7120 Water Treatment Plant Water Attorney, Weed Abatement, and Chemicals
$120,918 – Acct. No. 8120 Wastewater Treatment Facility Specialty Contract Services, Weed Abatement, and Chemicals Balances are based on projected need. The actual costs will vary based upon usage.
Purpose:
To provide the necessary funding for essential services and chemicals for Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) operations in response to changes in industry pricing and supply.
Council’s Strategic Goal:
This item addresses Council’s strategic goals of Fiscal Responsibility and Infrastructure by providing appropriate funding to support utility operations through conscientious budgeting efforts.
Background:
The WTP and WWTF require a wide variety of specialty materials and services to support the treatment processes, including bulk chemicals, facility maintenance, legal support, and byproduct disposal. These needs can be difficult to project during the annual budget cycle due to their specialized or proprietary nature and relationship to variable regulatory requirements and environmental conditions. Additionally, these vendors often will either not provide new fiscal year prices ahead of the City’s budget deadlines or will adjust them early in the fiscal year in order to better meet their cost-recovery needs.
Subsequently, Public Works staff has identified a number of operating account lines which need adjustment in order to accommodate these updated expenditure projections for the fiscal year.
Analysis:
Water and Wastewater Treatment Chemicals:
Economic and supply changes have continued to impact the price and reliable delivery of bulk chemicals for water and wastewater treatment. Public Works attempted to account for this anticipated increase during the Fiscal Year 23/24 budget process prior to the annual bid results by evaluating multiple years of chemical usage and the economic state of the industry. Nevertheless, prices for the fiscal year are significantly beyond those initial estimates for a number of the chemical accounts which, therefore, need to be adjusted in order to fund the critical purchases.
Fortunately, staff has been able to identify available funds within the other chemical accounts which may be transferred in order to cover the majority of the shortfall, as shown in Attachment 1. Treatment plant operations and maintenance staff continuously monitors for opportunities to gain efficiencies and reduce chemical usage; however, chemical use is often dependent on environmental factors, such as weather and water availability, and the cost reductions within these accounts may not be permanent.
Weed Abatement Services:
The Citywide weed-abatement services contract, currently provided by Barrow’s Landscaping, Inc., is billed out of numerous funding sources and operating accounts based on the cost of maintaining each property. In previous years, this has been encumbered out of the general weed control chemical accounts 7120-63720 and 8120-63720 for the treatment plants, which are also used for pesticides and herbicides applied by staff during routine maintenance. In order to more accurately track the service costs, they will now be charged to a dedicated account line, 63643. Sufficient funding exists in the weed control accounts to fund both the annual services for this fiscal year and any necessary purchases of weed control supplies for facility maintenance.
Water Attorney Services:
Public Works utilizes the services of a specialty law firm, Somach, Simmons, and Dunn, for water rights and supply legal issues. It is critical to have legal representation with specific water expertise to protect and improve the City’s access to clean and safe drinking-water sources. Staff has reviewed the last two quarters of expenditures with Somach, Simmons, and Dunn, the firm’s increased rates, and the scope of work necessary for the year and recommends increasing the dedicated account, 7120-62719 (Water Attorney), from $60,000 to $100,000. This is within the $150,000 sole source amount authorized by Council on June 20, 2023 as part of the Fiscal Year 23/24 Citywide Sole Source item.
Biosolids Hauling Services:
The WWTF produces solid waste as a byproduct of the treatment process, known as biosolids, which must be hauled from the facility for disposal. Recology Yuba-Sutter provides biosolids hauling as part of the City’s current franchise agreement and utilizes the biosolids to provide cover for the landfill.
Recology has requested the addition of a fuel surcharge of $5 per load to mitigate the ongoing impact of fuel prices on their operations. This surcharge is allowable per the current agreement language. Staff projects an additional need of $25,000 in Account No. 8120-62759 (Specialty Contract Services) to accommodate this rate increase.
Fiscal Impact:
In order to process the remaining contracts and encumber the additional funds for Fiscal Year 23/24, Public Works is requesting authorization to transfer funds amongst the 7120 and 8120 chemical operating accounts and to appropriate $20,000 from unallocated water funds and $120,918 from unallocated wastewater funds to the requested service and chemical budget line items, as enumerated in Attachment 1. While there may collectively be cost savings within the water and wastewater operating funds throughout the year, Public Works does not recommend transferring further from within the operating budgets this early in the fiscal year given fluctuating prices for other materials, supplies, and services at this time.
As increased prices are anticipated to continue into the near future per utilities industry representatives, CIP funding may be limited in Fiscal Year 24/25 to fund the increased operational budget needs. The City’s ongoing water and wastewater rate study will evaluate the long-term fiscal impacts of changes in materials, supplies, and services pricing and availability on the operating budget funding needs for future years, which will be utilized for recommending rates in the next Proposition 218 process.
Alternatives:
Reduce one or more of the budget line item adjustment requests and direct staff to return to Council should further funding be required.
Recommendation:
Authorize the Finance Director to make transfers within the 7120 Water Treatment Plant and 8120 Wastewater Treatment Facility operating budget accounts as listed in Attachment 1, including supplemental appropriations in the amount of $20,000 from unallocated water funds to the 7120 Water Treatment Plant operating budget and in the amount of $120,918 from unallocated wastewater funds to the 8120 Wastewater Treatment Facility operating budget.

Background:
The water and wastewater treatment processes and equipment are monitored by complex electronic and instrumentation systems, under the brand name Rockwell Automation. While day-to-day operations are successfully managed by the City’s in-house instrumentation staff, it is critical to have an ongoing support and service contract with the manufacturer for remote and field services, troubleshooting, and training. Therefore, Public Works annually enters into an Integrated Services Agreement with the manufacturer, Rexel USA, Inc. of Sacramento, CA (Rexel).
Analysis:
Public Works and Rexel have developed a five-year Integrated Services Agreement, which allows the team to proactively manage the Rockwell Automation system together and provides the ability to flexibly coordinate projects and system needs across multiple years. The proposed contract results in
an estimated 10-12% cost savings compared to single-year contracts and locks in the Fiscal Year 23/24 rate for all five years of the agreement through October 2028.
Fiscal Impact:
The total cost of the five-year agreement is $169,905, paid in annual installments of $33,981. Costs are divided based on use and system needs, 20% for the Water Treatment Plant (Account No. 7120- 63433) and 80% for the Wastewater Treatment Facility (Account No. 8120-63433). Sufficient funding is already budgeted in these Specialty O&M – Instrumentation accounts each fiscal year.
Alternatives:
Do not approve the five-year agreement and direct staff to continue utilizing single-year agreements and/or individual service requests with Rexel.
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution awarding a five-year Integrated Services Agreement for support and service of the Rockwell Automation instrumentation systems at the Water Treatment Plant and Wastewater Treatment Facility to Rexel USA, Inc. of Sacramento, CA in the amount of $169,905, with the finding that it is in the best interest of the City.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF YUBA CITY
AWARDING A FIVE-YEAR INTEGRATED SERVICES AGREEMENT
FOR ROCKWELL AUTOMATION INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM
SUPPORT TO REXEL USA, INC. OF SACRAMENTO, CA IN THE
AMOUNT OF $169,905
WHEREAS, the City of Yuba City requires highly complex, reliable electronic and instrumentation systems to safely and accurately operate the Water Treatment Plant and Wastewater Treatment Facility; and
WHEREAS, the City’s water and wastewater facilities are operated by Rockwell Automation brand instrumentation systems, which are manufactured, supplied, and supported by Rexel USA, Inc.; and
WHEREAS, it is critical that the City secure ongoing remote and on-site support and service by the manufacturer to support Public Works Department staff in the maintenance of the instrumentation system and equipment; and WHEREAS, Rexel USA, Inc. of Sacramento, CA as manufacturer is the sole provider of these necessary services and has provided satisfactory services and equipment to the City for many years; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to award a five-year Integrated Services Agreement to Rexel USA, Inc. of Sacramento, CA in the amount of $169,905 for support of the Rockwell Automation instrumentation systems at the Water Treatment Plant and Wastewater Treatment Facility, with a contract term of October 28, 2023 through October 27, 2028.

1. The City Council finds that an award to Rexel USA, Inc. is appropriate on grounds including that Rexel is the sole provider of support services for the Rockwell Automation brand instrumentation system. It would not be feasible to conduct a competitive Request for Proposals process due to the specialty nature of the proposed work. This exemption from competitive bidding is authorized per Municipal Code Section 2-6.14. As such, the City Council finds that it is in the best interest of the City to make a sole source award to Rexel USA, Inc. of Sacramento, CA for five (5) years of support services for the Rockwell Automation instrumentation systems at the Water Treatment Plant and Wastewater Treatment Facility.
2. The City Council hereby awards a five-year Integrated Services Agreement in the amount of $169,905, to be paid annually in installments of $33,981, to Rexel USA, Inc. for support services for the Rockwell Automation instrumentation systems at the Water Treatment Plant and Wastewater Treatment Facility, and finds that the award is in the best interest of the City. The City Council further authorizes the City Manager, or designee, to enter into an Integrated Services Agreement with Rexel USA, Inc. for these services, with the terms of this Resolution and the material terms of the proposal attached hereto as Exhibit 1A and incorporated herein by reference, and subject to approval of the agreement as to legal form by the City Attorney.
3. The Integrated Services Agreement shall commence on October 28, 2023 and conclude on October 27, 2028.
4. This Resolution shall become effective immediately.
The foregoing resolution was duly and regularly introduced, passed, and adopted by the City Council of the City of Yuba City at a regular meeting thereof held on the 3rd day of October, 2023.

CITY OF YUBA CITY
STAFF REPORT
Date: October 3, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Public Works Department
Presentation By: Ben Moody, Public Works & Development Services Director Summary
Subject: Lift Station 2 Rehabilitation Project - Contingency Increase Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution authorizing an increase in the construction contingency of $75,480.00 with a finding that it is in the best interest of the City Fiscal Impact: $75,480.00 – Account No. 1105 (Lift Station Improvements) Purpose:
To maintain the City’s Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) operational effectiveness through proactive rehabilitation and major maintenance.
Council’s Strategic Goal:
This project addresses the City Council’s Strategic Goal of improving the City’s infrastructure.
Background:
The City’s wastewater collections system includes 17 lift stations, which were evaluated by the City’s consultant in the 2020 Wastewater Master Plan. Major rehabilitation of Lift Station 2 was recommended as a priority for completion within the first one to five years under the 2020 plan. Identified concerns include exposed aggregate and reinforcing bars in the wet well and the lack of a bypass discharge option for emergencies and shutdowns.
This project proposes the rehabilitation of the Lift Station 2 wet well, installation of new pumps, and construction of a new bypass connection. To rehabilitate Lift Station 2, a large bypass system will be utilized to divert all sewage flow during the construction process.
On June 6, 2023, Council awarded a construction contract to W.M. Lyles, Inc. (Lyles) of Fresno, CA to perform this work, as well as a professional services agreement with Inferrera Construction Management Group, Inc. (ICM) to perform construction management and inspection services during construction.
Analysis:
The project specifications call for the following Lift Station Wet Well (wet well) improvements:
• Wet well to be detergent steam cleaned
• Voids and cracks within the wet well to be repaired
• Exposed corroded reinforcement bars to be cleaned and patched to original concrete surface • Wet well to be coated
• New pumps installed
This work must be completed while a large and complex sewage bypass system is operating concurrently with the wet well rehabilitation to prevent a lapse in wastewater services. The bypass system was placed into operation on September 5th, 2023. Upon cleaning the wet well and preparing the surface for coating, two significant unforeseen conditions were uncovered.
Damaged Reinforcement Bars (Rebar)
ICM discovered that the existing exposed corroded rebar within the walls are corroded beyond applicable codes and standards. The corroded rebar will need to be further exposed and repaired or replaced, prior to contract work to patch back to original concrete surface. The additional cost to repair or replace the damaged rebar is estimated to cost approximately $35,000.00. This estimate includes additional concrete work to expose the rebar, rebar material, rebar primer, and time to perform the work.
Damaged Discharge Piping
ICM also discovered that the discharge piping and wall pipe penetrations for all three (3) pumps are pitted (localized holes through the pipe due to corrosion), and require full replacement. Due to the highly corrosive environment, the new piping installed will receive a separate corrosion resistant coating to help increase pipe longevity. The additional cost to replace the damaged pump discharge piping is estimated to be approximately $25,000.00. This estimate includes additional concrete work at pipe wall penetrations, new piping, new hardware, additional coating, and time to perform the work.
Bypass Pumping System
Performing the extra work above is estimated to extend the bypass operation by approximately four (4) weeks. The cost to operate the Bypass system for this additional period is approximately $60,000.00.
This estimate includes bypass rental equipment, fuel, maintenance personnel, and continued monitoring.
The items above are considered extra work because it was not possible to perform a detailed inspection of the wet well and discharge piping prior to installing and operating bypass system to allow steam cleaning of the wet well.
ICM has determined that the cost estimates are reasonable and consistent with industry standards.
Staff has authorized the rebar repair work and discharge piping replacement to keep the project moving forward in order to avoid Contract delays and additional costs. Lyles has shifted their efforts to correct conditions prior to coating and installing pumps.
Fiscal Impact:
With the construction contract award on June 3, 2023, Council authorized a total construction contract amount of $347,600.00 with a 20% contingency of $69,520.00.
With the unforeseen discoveries of damaged rebar, discharge piping, and bypass operation extension, staff is requesting an increase in the contingency of $75,480.00 determined as follows:
$35,000.00 – Damaged Rebar Replacement
$25,000.00 – Discharge Piping Replacement
$60,000.00 – Bypass Operation
$120,000.00 – Total additional construction funding required $44,520.00 – Less Construction Contingency remaining on project $75,480.00 – Total additional authorization requested
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Account No. 981105 (Lift Station Improvements) has a current available balance of approximately $630,000.00.
Alternatives:
There is no reasonable alternative to performing the additional work described in this staff report.
Foregoing this work will compromise the wet well structure and delay the Construction Contract.
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution authorizing an increase in the construction contingency of $75,480.00 with a finding that it is in the best interest of the City.

WHEREAS, the City received an application from James Ratliff for a General Plan Amendment to amend the General Plan Land Use Map from an LDR land use designation to a HDR designation (GPA 22-01), and a Rezoning for this property revising the zoning from a R-2 Zone District to the R-3X30 Zone District (RZ 22-02) in order to reduce minimum lot sizes, increase lot coverage and reduce rear yard sizes in order to accommodate Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) 22-01 that divides two parcels into three parcels for the 0.31 acre site (collectively “Project”).
Development that will result from this action will be provided full City services; and WHEREAS the X30 Combining Zone District was proposed to modify certain development standards in an effort to increase project densities. Proposed development standard modifications include allowing for reduced minimum lot sizes yard setbacks, garage setbacks and minimum required distances between buildings on the same lot. The purpose of these modifications is to accommodate a more compact project design; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (“CEQA”), the City, as the Lead Agency, has analyzed the proposed Project and has prepared an Initial Study proposing a Mitigated Negative Declaration (EA 22-04) for the Project; and
WHEREAS, on May 24, 2023, the Planning Commission concurrently conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the applications, GPA 22-01, RZ-22-02, and TPM 22-01, as well as EA 22-04, at which time it received input from City Staff, the applicant; public comment portion was opened, and public testimony and evidence, both written and oral, was considered by the Planning Commission, after which public testimony was closed; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed all associated documents prepared for the Project, including that related to the applications, and all of the evidence received by the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, after deliberation and consideration of all relevant items, the Planning Commission recommended the City Council of the City of Yuba City adopt a resolution adopting Environmental Assessment 22-04, approve GPA 22-01, and adopt an ordinance approving RZ 22-02.
WHEREAS, on September 19, 2023, the City Council conducted a public hearing to consider the GPA 22-01, RZ-22-02, and EA 22-04, and received both oral testimony and written information presented at the hearing regarding the same; and WHEREAS, during the public hearing additional public comments were received by the City Council from numerous residents from the area, which comments and information had not been provided to the Planning Commission and were not available to the Planning Commission when it initially made its recommendation to the City Council; and
2 WHEREAS, the City Council of Yuba City considered said recommendations of the Planning Commission on the matter, and after review and consideration of the additional information provided during the public hearing, the City Council now desires to deny the project.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Yuba City resolves as follows:
1. Recitals. The City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the recitals above are true and correct and incorporated herein.
2. CEQA Finding. The California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to projects that are denied and are not carried out.
3. General Plan Findings. The City Council finds that the public necessity, general welfare, good planning practices, public interest, and convenience do not warrant approval of General Plan Amendment 22-01. Among others, denial is appropriate as:
a. Traffic Impacts: The proposed amendment would allow for additional density and number of dwelling units. This will result in additional traffic in the area. However, the area is already unusually congested as compared to other neighborhoods due to the project’s close proximity to the Yuba City High School, which is less than one block away. b. Parking Impacts: There is also a corresponding shortage of available parking in the area due to the more unusual parking load associated with the Yuba City High School as well as the existing needs of the surrounding area. Additional density of development of the project site (including associated visitors) will not only add to the existing conditions, but may effectively remove existing parking on the existing street frontage in order to accommodate additional driveway approaches associated with the additional proposed intensity of development.
c. Incompatibility: The residential density proposed is not consistent with the surrounding area and creates an incompatibility with the immediate surrounding neighborhood. Among others, the reduced building setbacks proposed are inconsistent with the setbacks existing in the surrounding neighborhood. This not only affects view sight lines, landscaping areas, and consistency, etc., but promotes shorter driveway lengths that can impact vehicle storage on the project site and can result in detrimental intrusions of parked vehicles into the sidewalk area.
4. Denial of General Plan Amendment 22-01. Based on the information and findings provided above, the City Council of Yuba City denies General Plan Amendment 22-01.
5. Rezone Finding: The City Council finds that Rezone 22-02 is inconsistent with the General Plan because General Plan Amendment 22-01 is denied and Rezone 22-02 is therefore not consistent with the approved General Plan. Additionally, Rezone 22-02 is not consistent with the purpose of the zoning ordinance to promote and protect the public’s health, safety, peace, comfort, convenience and general welfare, including for all of the reasons set forth in Section 3, above.
6. Denial of Rezone 22-02. Based on the information provided above, the City Council of Yuba City denies Rezone 22-02.
3 7. Effective Date: This Resolution shall become effective immediately.
The foregoing Resolution was duly and regularly introduced, passed, and adopted by the City Council of the City of Yuba City at a regular meeting thereof held on the 3rd day of October, 2023.

Summary
Subject: CalRecycle Rubberized Pavement Grant - Signature Authority Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute and submit all necessary grant documentation for CalRecycle grants for a five-year period Fiscal Impact: Receipt of funds through the CalRecycle Rubberized Pavement Grant program in the amount of one dollar per square yard of asphalt rubber chip seal installed.
Purpose:
To secure road funding through the CalRecycle Rubberized Pavement Grant Program.
Council Strategic Goal:
Authorizing the City Manager to execute necessary documents related to the CalRecycle Rubberized Pavement Grant program addresses the City Council's Strategic Goal of maintaining infrastructure, as the funds from this grant will help directly fund the installation of road rehabilitation projects throughout the City.
Background:
The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) has issued a call for applications for their Rubberized Pavement Grant Program Fiscal Year 2023-24. The grant program provides up to $1.00 per square yard of reimbursement to the City for constructing Asphalt Rubber Chip Seals that use the required amount of recycled tires.
As part of the grant program, the application requires an authorizing resolution from the local agency authorizing the submittal of the grant application and empowering a designated individual to execute the necessary grant documents.
Analysis:
The Public Works Department is in the process of developing a 2024 Resurfacing Project. The project will include approximately 84,500 square yards of Asphalt Rubber Chip Seal. Public Works desires to apply for the Rubberized Pavement Grant Program through CalRecycle to offset construction costs.
The City has utilized the CalRecycle grant in the past with good results.
Fiscal Impact:
Minimal staff costs will be associated with the application and administration of the grant should the City obtain grant funding. The City is anticipating approximately $84,500 in grant funding. Additionally, since the Resolution will be effective for five years, the City will be eligible for future funding rounds of the Rubberized Pavement Grant Program.
Alternatives:
Do not authorize the City Manager the authority to sign the necessary documents. This is not recommended, it would render ineligible for the grant funds.
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute and submit all necessary grant documentation for CalRecycle grants for a five-year period.

CITY OF YUBA CITY
STAFF REPORT
Date: October 3, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Development Services Department
Presentation By: Ben Moody, Public Works & Development Services Director Summary
Subject: Consideration of Rezone (RZ) 23-02 for the Bains – Bridge Street Project Recommendation: Adopt an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Yuba City to adopt Rezone 23-02 for the Bains – Bridge Street project located on approximately 0.68 acres on the north side of Bridge Street approximately 300 feet west of Walton Avenue (Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 58-080-005), and waive the second reading Fiscal Impact: The cost for processing land use entitlements is funded by the project applicant through the payment of application fees.
Purpose:
To adopt Rezone (RZ) 23-02 for the Bains – Bridge Street project.
Council’s Strategic Goal:
This item meets the City Council’s strategic goal of business friendly.
Background:
The applicant, Parm Bains, filed an application for GPA 23-02 and RZ 23-02 to change the land use and zoning from Office and Office Park (C-O) to Medium-High Density Residential (R-3).
On July 26, 2023, the Yuba City Planning Commission conducted a public hearing, and the Planning Commission unanimously voted to adopt Resolution PC 23-15 recommending approval of GPA 23-02 and RZ 23-02 to the City Council together with Environmental Assessment 23-04. There was no opposition expressed by the public at the Planning Commission meeting.
On September 19, 2023, the City Council conducted a public hearing for GPA 23-02, RZ 23-02, and Environmental Assessment (EA) 23-04. The City Council voted 3-0, with two Councilmembers being absent, in approval of GPA 23-02 and EA 23-04 and voted to advance RZ 23-02 to a second reading on October 3, 2023.
Analysis:
The proposed rezone (RZ 23-02) will rezone 0.68 acres on the north side of Bridge Street approximately 300 feet west of Walton Avenue from the Office Commercial (C-O) Zone District to the
Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Zone District.
No physical development is proposed at this time as part of this application.
Compatibility with neighboring uses:
With no development proposed it is not possible to fully consider the compatibility of the differing uses.
However, placing this higher density residential property next to high density residential on the north would likely result in apartments, garden apartments, condominiums, duplexes, etc. The property to the west is similarly designated at a lower medium density residential, likely resulting in duplexes.
Properties to the east are office type uses but the properties are back-to-back with a masonry wall between them, so compatibility should not be an issue. Across Bridge Street to the south there are single-family and multiple-family uses. There should be no compatibility issues with this proposal.
Traffic
Due to the parcel size (0.68 acre) of the proposed project, the proposal to change the zoning from office to multiple-family will not create a large traffic generation difference. The General Plan provides density requirements for multiple-family developments as 12-36 dwelling units per acre (DUA), which means that a 0.68-acre parcel could result in nine to twenty-four new multiple-family or duplex residential units. Both Bridge Street, on which the site fronts, and nearby Walton Avenue are within the City’s acceptable level of service standard of D or better. Any development resulting from this project will be required to provide any needed on-site Bridge Street improvements for auto, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. As such, the potential impacts on nearby streets due to this project are considered to be less than significant.
Environmental Considerations:
An environmental assessment was prepared for this project (EA 23-04) in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. This process included the distribution of requests for comment from other responsible or affected agencies and interested organizations.
Based upon the attached environmental assessment and the list of identified mitigation measures, staff has determined that there is no evidence in the record that the project may have a significant effect on the environment and recommends to the City Council adoption of a mitigated negative declaration for this project. The finding of the mitigated negative declaration is that, with the proposed mitigations for Table 2: Bordering Information and Uses

As a result, the filing of a mitigated negative declaration is appropriate in accordance with the provisions of CEQA. The proposed mitigations are included in the attached Mitigation Monitoring Program.
Fiscal Impact:
The cost for processing land use entitlements is funded by the project applicant through the payment of application fees.
Alternatives:
1. Deny the application to approve Rezone 23-02
2. Provide staff with alternate direction
Recommendations:
Adopt an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Yuba City to adopt Rezone 23-02 for the Bains – Bridge Street project located on approximately 0.68 acres on the north side of Bridge Street approximately 300 feet west of Walton Avenue (Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 58-080-005), and waive the second reading.

Item 5
2 Project Description
General Plan Amendment (GPA) 23-02 and Rezone (RZ) 23-02 (“Project”), proposes to amend the land use and zoning for a 0.68 parcel as farther outlined below. • GPA 23-02: Proposal to re-designate a 0.68-acre parcel (approximately 30,0000 square feet) from the Office and Office Park (O) land use designation to the MediumHigh Density Residential (HDR) designation. The HDR designation allows for a residential density range of 12 to 36 residences per acre, providing for a range of attached housing types including duplexes, and multiple-family housing types. The allowed density range translates to nine to 24 residences that could be constructed on this property if this GPA is approved; and
• RZ 23-02: Proposal to rezone the same 0.68 acres from the Office Commercial (C-O) Zone District to the Multiple-Family Residential (R-3) Zone District. The R-3 Zone District provides for a similar range of housing types as the corresponding HDR General Plan designation.
There is no actual development proposed as part of this application.
Background
This property was originally part of a larger 5.73-acre parcel for which in June 2019 the Planning Commission considered and recommended approval to amend the General Plan, Rezone, and approved Tentative Subdivision Map 19-03, which divided the property into 18 lots (GPA 18-03, RZ 18-02, TSM 19-03). The GPA and RZ were approved by the City Council on September 17, 2019. The General Plan Amendment was generally intended to convert the vacant property from office and light industrial designations to residential for 17 of the proposed 18 lots. The subject
0.68-acre lot remained office commercial.
TPM 19-03 was originally approved on June 26, 2019 with an expiration date of June 26, 2021.
Since then the applicant/owner has received two extension, with a final expiration date of June 26, 2024. The conditions as set forth for Tentative Map (TSM) 19-03 shall still be in effect.
This proposal will place the last remaining lot of the original subdivision into a residential designation. Of the 18 subdivision lots, 10 of the lots along the west and much of the north side are zoned for single-family residences, six lots in the center of the subdivision are zoned for duplexes (12 residences), and the 1.5-acre parcel in the northeast corner of the subdivision (north side of this property) was designated for high density residential (typically apartments). This proposal for the 0.68-acre parcel requests a Medium-High density residential designation which allows a density range of 12-36 residences/acre consistent with the parcel on the north side of the property.
Analysis
Compatibility with neighboring uses:
With no development proposed it is not possible to fully consider the compatibility of the differing uses. However, placing this higher density residential property next to high density residential on
Item 5
3 the north would likely result in apartments, garden apartments, condominiums, duplexes, etc. The property to the west is similarly designated at a lower medium density residential, likely resulting in duplexes. Properties to the east are office type uses but the properties are back-to-back with a masonry wall between them, so compatibility should not be an issue. Across Bridge Street to the south there are single-family and multiple-family uses. There should be no compatibility issues with this proposal.
Traffic
Due to the parcel size (0.68 acres) of the proposed project, the proposal to change the land use and zoning from office to multiple-family will not create a large traffic generation difference. The General Plan provides density requirements for multiple-family developments as 12-36 dwelling units per acre (DUA), which means that a 0.68 parcel could result in nine to twenty-four new multiple-family or duplex residential units. Both Bridge Street, on which the site fronts, and nearby Walton Avenue are within the City’s acceptable level of service standard of D or better. Any development resulting from this project will be required to provide any needed on-site Bridge Street improvements for auto, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. As such, the potential impacts on nearby streets due to this project are considered to be less than significant.

PC 23-15 2
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the Planning Commission of the City of Yuba City resolves and orders as follows:
1. Recitals. The Planning Commission hereby finds that all of the facts set forth in the recitals above are true and correct and incorporated herein.
2. CEQA Finding. The Planning Commission finds and determines, and recommends that the City Council find and determine, that there is no substantial evidence in the record that General Plan Amendment 23-02 and Rezone 23-02, may have a significant effect on the environment as identified by the MND prepared in Environmental Assessment 23-04.
Additionally, the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council find and determine that an environmental assessment/initial study was prepared for this project in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and reflects the City Council’s independent judgment and analysis. The process included the distribution of requests for comments from other responsible or affected agencies and interested organizations. Preparation of Environmental Assessment 23-04 necessitated a thorough review of the proposed project and relevant environmental issues and considered previously prepared environmental and technical studies. While the proposed project could have a potentially significant effect on the environment, based on its independent judgment and analysis the Planning Commission recommends the City Council find that feasible mitigation measures or alternatives have been incorporated into the project in order to avoid the effects to a point where clearly no significant effect on the environment will occur, and there is no substantial evidence in the record that this project may have any direct, indirect or cumulative effects on the environment that are potentially significant or adverse. The proposed project will not result in any adverse effects which fall within the “Mandatory Findings of Significance” contained in Section 15065 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The projectspecific mitigation measures included in the project to avoid potentially significant effects are set forth in the attached Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and accompanying Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. With the project specific mitigations imposed, there is no substantial evidence in the record that this project may have significant direct, indirect, or cumulative effects on the environment. As such, the Planning Commission recommends the City Council also find and determine that in light of the entire administrative record and the substantial evidence before it, the project has been adequately environmentally assessed as required by CEQA per Environmental Assessment 23-04.
3. Adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Based on the foregoing, the Planning Commission recommends the City Council adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the project, including the associated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, as the project will not result in any significant, adverse environmental impacts with the mitigations proposed. The Yuba City Development Services Department is located at 1201 Civic Center Boulevard, Yuba City, CA 95993, and is recommended to be designated as the custodian of the documents and other materials that constitute the record of the proceedings upon which the decision is based. The Planning Commission further recommends the City Council authorize the Director, or designee, to execute and file with the Sutter County Clerk, as appropriate, a Notice of Determination for approval of the project that complies with the CEQA Guidelines.
4. General Plan Findings. The Planning Commission finds, and recommends that the City Council find that the public necessity, general welfare, good planning practices, public interest, and convenience warrant approval of General Plan Amendment 23-02, including the following:
PC 23-15 3
a. The proposed HDR land use designation, when used in conjunction with the proposed rezoning and the accompanying development standards, will limit the residential density to be compatible with existing neighboring higher density residential uses. b. The Project will not generate significant amounts of new traffic that would cause a decrease in levels of service for nearby General Plan streets including Bridge Street, and Walton Avenue, and any new residences that result from this Project will pay their fair share of traffic development impact fees, making the project consistent with the Transportation Element.
c. General Plan Housing Element Policy H-A-3 (Facilitate a Variety of Housing Types): This policy encourages a variety of housing types but particulary enphasises the use of the Medium High Density (HDR) Land Use Designation as the higher densities typically results in more affordable housing. This project to add property designated HDR will increase the City’s capacity for higher density housing by 4-9 residences. d. General Plan Housing Element Policy H-C-7 (Regional Housing Needs): This policy requires the City to add more HDR designated land. This proposal will add 0.67 acres designated as HDR, which translates to 4-9 new residences, likely at the more affordable range of housing types.
e. The environmental document prepared for the Project (EA 22-04) found that the Project will not create significant environmental impacts on water quality, air quality, biological resources, agricultural lands, open space, and archaeological resources, making the Project consistent with the Environmental Conservation Element of the General Plan. f. The Project will connect to all City services including water, wastewater, and stormwater drainage, making it consistent with the Public Utilities Element, and the Police and Fire Departments determined that the Project will not cause any safety or emergency response issues. As such the Project will be consistent with the Noise and Safety Element. g. Any new residences that will be constructed as a result of this Project will pay all applicable park and school development impact fees, making it consistent with the Parks, Schools, and Community Facilities Element.
5. Recommendation of Approval of General Plan Amendment 23-02. Based on the information provided above, the Planning Commission recommends to the City Council of Yuba City adoption of General Plan Amendment 23-02, per the attached Exhibit A.
6. Rezone Findings. The Planning Commission finds, and recommends that the City Council find and determine, that Rezone 23-02 is consistent with the General Plan as amended by General Plan Amendment 23-02. The Planning Commission further recommends that the City Council find that Rezone 23-02 i) is consistent with the General Plan goals and policies as amended and as further described above; ii) is consistent with the purpose of the zoning ordinance to promote and protect the public’s health, safety, peace, comfort, convenience and general welfare; iii) the project would provide open space, light, air, privacy, convenience, access, aesthetic values, protection of environmental values, and protection of public and private improvements; and iv) the project will allow for the creation of quality balanced neighborhoods that provide housing options for the City.
PC 23-15 4
7. Recommendation of Approval of the Rezone 23-02. Based on the information provided above, the Planning Commission recommends to the City Council of Yuba City adoption of an ordinance approving RZ 23-02 and reclassify the zone districts as depicted in Exhibit B shown on the zoning map for the City of Yuba City.
8. Effective Date of Resolution. This Resolution shall become effective immediately.

Mitigation Measures
Cultural Resources Mitigation 1: In the event that previously undetected cultural materials (i.e. prehistoric sites, historic features, isolated artifacts, and features such as concentrations of shell or glass) are discovered during construction, work in the immediate vicinity should immediately cease and be redirected to another area until the Auburn Indian Community of the Auburn Rancheria is re-contacted and allowed the opportunity to consult under AB 52. Further, a qualified archaeologist that meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards in prehistoric or historic archaeology inspects and assesses the find. The City shall consider further recommendations as presented by the professional and implement additional measures as necessary to protect and preserve the particular resource. Such measures may include avoidance, preservation in place, excavation, documentation, curation, data recovery, or other appropriate measures.
Cultural Resources Mitigation 2: If human remains are uncovered, or in any other case where human remains are discovered, the Sutter County Coroner, as appropriate, is to be notified to arrange their proper treatment and disposition. If the remains are identified – on the basis of archaeological context, age, cultural associations, or biological traits – as those of a Native American, California Health and Safety Code 7050.5 and Public Resource Code 5097.98 require that the coroner notify the NAHC within 24 hour of discovery. The NAHC will then notify the most likely descendant, who may recommend treatment of the remains.
Cultural Resources Mitigation 3: Should artifacts or unusual amounts of bone or shell be uncovered during demolition or construction activity, all work shall be stopped and a qualified archeologist shall be contacted for on-site consultation. Avoidance measures or appropriate mitigation shall be completed according to CEQA guidelines. The State Office of Historic Preservation has issued recommendations for the preparation of Archeological Resource Management Reports, which shall be used for guidelines. If a bone appears to be human, California law mandates that the Sutter County Coroner and the Native American Heritage Commission be contacted.
Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measure 1: The site grading process shall comply with the GHG Reduction Measures provided in the adopted Yuba City Resource Efficiency Plan.
Tribal Cultural Resources Mitigation Measure 1: Worker Awareness Training. The City shall ensure that a Worker Education Program is developed and delivered to train equipment
operators about cultural resources. The program shall be designed to inform workers about:
federal and state regulations pertaining to cultural resources and tribal cultural resources; the subsurface indicators of resources that shall require work stoppage; procedures for notifying the City of any occurrences; and enforcement of penalties and repercussions for noncompliance with the program. Worker education training may be provided either in person or as a DVD with a training binder, prepared by a qualified professional archaeologist and reviewed by the City. The United Auburn Indian Community (UAIC) shall be afforded the option of attending the initial training in person or providing a video segment or information for incorporation into the training that appeals to the contractor’s need to be respectful of tribal cultural resources and tribal participation in implementing unanticipated discovery protocols.
All ground-disturbing equipment operators shall be required to receive the training and sign a form that acknowledges receipt of the training. A copy of the form shall be provided to the City as proof of compliance.
Tribal Cultural Resources Mitigation Measure 2: Avoid and minimize impacts to previously unknown Tribal Cultural Resources. If any cultural resources, such as structural features, unusual amounts of bone or shell, artifacts, human remains, or architectural remains are encountered during the initial inspection or during any subsequent construction activities, work shall be suspended within 100 feet of the find, and the construction supervisor shall immediately notify the City representative. If the find includes human remains, then the City shall immediately notify the Sutter County Coroner and the procedures in Section 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code and, if applicable, Section 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code, shall be followed. For resources reasonably associated with Native American cultural and for human remains, the City shall coordinate with any necessary investigation of the discovery with a UAIC tribal representative and a qualified archaeologist approved by the City. As part of the site investigation and resource assessment, the City shall consult with UAIC to develop, document, and implement appropriate management recommendations, should potential impacts to the resources be found by the City to be significant. Nothing in this measure prohibits the City from considering any comments from other culturally-affiliated Native American tribes that volunteer information to the City during its investigation. Possible management recommendations could include documentation, data recovery, or (if deemed feasible by the City) preservation in place. The contractor shall implement any measures deemed by the City staff to be necessary and feasible to avoid, minimize, or mitigate significant effects to the cultural resources, such as the use of a Native American Monitor whenever work is occurring within 100 feet of the discovery of Native American Resources, if deemed appropriate by the City.

Background:
In June 1994, the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Yuba City acquired title to the vacant parcel identified as 442 B Street, which is east of the Town Center fountain and bounded by B Street to the north, Wilbur Avenue to the east, and C Street to the south (Site) (Attachment 1, Exhibit A).
Based on a 2011 California Supreme Court decision, all redevelopment agencies in California were
dissolved as of February 1, 2012. As a result, all redevelopment agencies were required to dissolve and transfer any assets and liabilities to “Successor Agencies” that would bring to a close the redevelopment agencies’ business matters. On January 10, 2012, the City Council elected to become the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Yuba City (Successor Agency). In November 2014, the Site was transferred to the Successor Agency.
In 2015, a Long Range Property Management Plan was prepared by Fraser & Associates. The plan recommended the Site be sold for private development.
On August 16, 2022, the City Council, acting as the Successor Agency, declared the Site to be surplus land and directed the City Manager of the City to follow procedures set forth in the Surplus Land Act for the sale of the property.
Analysis:
In August 2010, a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) was completed for the Site.
The purpose of the Phase I ESA was to compile and review available information about the Site and immediate vicinity to identify recognized environmental conditions (REC) to the extent feasible. The Phase I ESA identified 16 REC’s, of which 12 are considered to be high priority as they are considered more likely to have resulted in a release of hazardous substances or petroleum products to the Site (Attachment 1, Exhibit B).
There has been no interest from other parties related to acquiring the Site due to the REC’s discovered during the Phase I ESA. City staff recommends pursuing grant funding to advance the cleanup of the Site in order to encourage acquisition and development of the Site.
In 2021, State legislation was enacted to expedite the cleanup and beneficial reuse of contaminated properties, with priority given to properties in historically vulnerable and disadvantaged communities.
The Department of Toxic Substances Control’s (DTSC’s) Office of Brownfields Equitable Community Revitalization Grant (ECRG) will provide more than $250 million in grants to incentivize cleanup and investment in disadvantaged areas of California. Round 2 of the ECRG is now open and City staff recommends authorizing the City to apply for a Site-Specific Investigation Grant to perform a Phase II ESA, supplemental work to evaluate different cleanup methods, and preparation of a cleanup plan.
The ECRG program requires an Owner Attestation Form (Attachment 1, Exhibit C) from the owner of record affirming that the REC’s occurred prior to the owner acquiring the property, that the owner did not cause or contribute to the REC’s, and that there is no conflict of interest. The ECRG program also requires a Site Access Agreement (Attachment 1, Exhibit D) allowing access to the Site for completing work covered by the grant. City staff is requesting authorization for the Chair to sign Owner Attestation Form and Site Access Agreement, and the City Manager to execute all other associated grant application documents.
Fiscal Impact:
The cost of submitting the grant application is estimated to be approximately $25,100, which consists of $17,575 for the City’s grant writing consultant (Blais and Associates) to prepare the application and $7,525 in staff time reviewing and supporting the application process. These costs are budgeted for through Account No. 901072 (Property Abatement).
If the City is awarded an ECRG, staff will return to Council with recommendations for proceeding with a consultant contract to perform the required studies.
Alternatives:
Do not authorize the requested signature authority and forego this opportunity to apply for grant funding to advance the cleanup of the Site.
Recommendation:
Adopt a Joint Resolution which takes the following actions:
A. Authorizes the City of Yuba City to apply for an Equitable Community Revitalization Grant for the cleanup of Successor Agency-owned property located at 422 B Street (APN 52-380-019).
B. Authorizes the Chair of the Successor Agency to sign an Owner Attestation Form and Site Access Agreement necessary for the grant application.
C. Authorizes the City Manager of the City of Yuba City to execute all necessary grant application documents.

Background:
On November 15, 2022, the City Council as the Board of Directors of the Successor Housing Agency to the Yuba City Redevelopment Agency (Successor Housing Agency) declared 825 Jones Street to be a surplus property.

CITY OF YUBA CITY
STAFF REPORT
Date: October 3, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Community Services Department
Presentation By: Ann Gillen, Community Services Director Summary
Subject: Certifying Need for CalPERS 180-Day Wait Period Exception for Robert Condrey to be appointed as – Passenger Bus Driver
Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution
A. Certifying the need for exception of the CalPERS 180-day wait period for Robert Condrey to be appointed as a passenger bus driver
B. Approving the employment agreement and appointing Robert Condrey as provided in the Resolution following approval by CalPERS Fiscal Impact: The passenger bus driver’s hourly rate of $25.00 and for City Senior Center activities is programmed into the fee of the program that requires transportation.
Purpose:
To approve a resolution certifying the need for a passenger bus driver employment agreement necessary to permit Robert Condrey’s employment as a retired annuitant from the generally-required CalPERS 180-day wait period.
Council's Strategic Goal:
Business Friendly
Background:
Robert Condrey, Parks and Grounds Superintendent, is retiring October 13, 2023. In addition to other duties, Mr. Condrey has served as passenger bus driver over the course of many years. Specifically, Mr. Condrey has driven senior center participants on a variety of different field trips throughout the region.
Throughout California, there is shortage of passenger bus drivers. This shortage of passenger bus drivers has a local impact as without qualified drivers, the City would be unable to provide senior field trips. Additionally, the current City passenger bus has air brakes for parking which require the driver to
possess at a minimum a Class B with passenger endorsement. Senior field trips may have to be cancelled if there isn't staff in possession of a Class A or B license along with a passenger endorsement.
CalPERS' typical requirements for employment of retired annuitants, who are of normal age on their retirement date, is a 180-day wait period before the annuitant can be employed as an annuitant. One of the exceptions to the 180-day wait period is an employer resolution certification of critical need to appoint the annuitant in less than 180 days following retirement. The governing board of the public agency then presents CalPERS with a resolution, passed in a public meeting that makes such certification and approves the appointment. Additionally, the resolution must not be placed on the consent calendar and must include a copy of the retiree’s employment agreement.
Analysis:
In order to provide current and future trips for the Yuba City Senior Center, as well as other City activities and functions, the Community Services Department has prepared the required CalPERS resolution and retired annuitant employment agreement for Mr. Condrey to be appointed as temporary, limited term passenger bus driver in mid-October. If these CalPERS required documents are approved by City Council, Staff will submit them to CalPERS prior to Mr. Condrey beginning work as a retired annuitant with the City in this limited term, extra-help capacity.
Fiscal Impact:
The passenger bus driver’s hourly rate of $25.00 and for City Senior Center activities is programmed into the fee of the program that requires transportation.
Alternatives:
1. Do not approve the CalPERS 180-day wait period exception resolution resulting in Senior Center activities and functions being cancelled.
2. Provide City staff direction.
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution
A. Certifying the need for exception of the CalPERS 180-day wait period for Robert Condrey to be appointed as a passenger bus driver
B. Approving the employment agreement and appointing Robert Condrey as provided in the Resolution following approval by CalPERS

ATTACHMENT 1
AGREEMENT FOR TEMPORARY
LIMITED-TERM “EXTRA-HELP” EMPLOYMENT
THIS Agreement for temporary, limited term “extra help” employment is by and between the City of Yuba City (“City”) and Robert Condrey (“Employee”) (collectively the “Parties”). It is effective on the latest date of signature below.
WHEREAS, the City has a critical need for an employee to provide needed specialized skills related to necessary public services in the area of being able to drive the bus to transport passengers;
WHEREAS, Employee possesses the necessary specialized skills, and is competent and qualified to perform the services required by this Agreement; and WHEREAS, this Agreement is in accordance with California Government Code Section 21224.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contain herein, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Scope of Services: Pursuant to this Agreement, Employee shall temporarily perform critically needed specialized skills related to Temporary Worker “Extra Help” as set forth in Exhibit A. Employee shall perform said duties under the direct supervision of the Community Services Department Director.
Employee represents that Employee is properly trained and certified to perform the duties required under this Agreement. Employee further represents that Employee will maintain, at Employee’s expense and on Employee’s own time, all required licenses and certification as a condition of this part-time employment.
2. Time of Performance: The services of Employee shall commence on October 13, 2023, and shall continue until June 30, 2024 unless terminated sooner by either Party.
3. Compensation: Employee shall be compensated as follows:
(a) Hourly Rate of Pay: Employee shall be paid at the rate of $25.00 per hour (the “Hourly Rate”). The City has determined that this hourly rate is neither less than the minimum, nor more than the maximum, hourly rate paid to other employees performing comparable duties as listed on City’s publicly available pay schedule, reflected as an hourly rate by dividing the monthly base pay by 173.333. Payments will be made on regularly scheduled City payroll dates. Employee will be responsible for keeping track of Employee’s hours worked on a daily time sheet form, provided by the City and submitted to the Community Services Director or designee for approval and payroll purposes. Employee
understands and agrees that Employee is not, and will not be,
eligible to receive any compensation other than this specified hourly rate of pay.
(b) Hours per Week: This employment is for part-time work and, generally, will not exceed 40 hours per week. The City will assign Employee specific hours to work, and under no circumstances may Employee work in excess of 40 hours per week without the express prior permission of the Community Services Department Director. (c) Payment for Work Done in Excess of 40 Hours Per Week: The temporary position under this Agreement is not exempt from FLSA overtime pay requirements. The Employee shall be paid at one and one-half times the regular rate of pay for any time worked in excess of 40 hours per week.
(d) Work less than 960 hours per year: Employee is allowed to work a cumulative maximum of 960 hours per fiscal year for any CalPERS agencies. Provided that Employee has not exceeded this
maximum annual amount, it is anticipated that Employee will be assigned approximately 30 hours per month, although this may change with operational needs. The City retains the right to reduce, change, or amend the number of hours worked consistent with the City’s workload and other needs. If Employee’s annual hours are approaching 960, then the City retains the right to summarily suspend Employee’s duties under this Agreement and to reassign any scheduled hours, as needed, to ensure that Employee does not exceed the maximum hours allowed by this Agreement.
4. Employment Status as Fixed-Term/”Extra-Help” Employee: The parties agree that Employee has specialized skills needed in performing work of limited duration. In the performance of the work and services agreed to be performed, Employee is not filling a vacant, regular position with City, but rather Employee shall act as and be a temporary, fixed-term, “Extra-Help” employee to address a special need and circumstance.
(a) Time of Retirement. Employee retired effective October 13, 2023 in the CalPERS system. Because he possesses specialized skills related to necessary public services, the City Council has certified the need for Employee’s appointment before 180 days has passed following his retirement.
(b) Benefits: Employee understands and agrees that Employee is not, and will not be, eligible to receive any benefits from the City, including any City group plan for hospital, surgical, or medical insurance, any City retirement program, or any paid holidays, vacation, sick leave, or other leave, with or without pay, or any other job benefits available to an employee in the regular service of
the City, except for Worker’s Compensation Insurance coverage.
City will enroll Employee in CalPERS solely for administrative recordkeeping purposes (Employee will remain in retired status) and will report both Employee’s hours and pay pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) No Membership in Bargaining Unit: Employee understands that Employee is not a member of any bargaining unit and is not covered by the terms of any Memorandum of Understanding with any represented or unrepresented group of City employees. (d) No Property Right in Employment: Employee understands and agrees that the terms of this employment are governed only by this Agreement and that no right of regular employment for any specific term is created by this Agreement. Employee further understands that Employee acquires no property interest in this employment by virtue of this Agreement, that the employment is “at will” as defined by the laws of the State of California (meaning that Employee can be terminated at any time for any reason or for no reason), and that Employee is not entitled to any pre- or post-deprivation administrative hearing or other due process upon termination or any disciplinary action.
(e) Employment of a Retiree: Employee understands that CalPERS retired annuitants may be employed by a CalPERS public agency employer, by temporary appointment for a limited duration to a position not to exceed 960 hours in any fiscal year for all such employers; either (1) during an emergency to prevent stoppage of public business or (2) because the retired employee has skills needed in performing the work of limited duration. In the event Employee is providing service to any other CalPERS public agency employer during the term of this Agreement, Employee must immediately notify the City of such other CalPERS
agency employment and disclose on a periodic basis the
number of hours Employee is performing for that other public agency to ensure that the maximum number of hours is not exceeded. Employee expressly agrees that Employee shall be solely responsible for any costs or liabilities of either party resulting from Employee’s failure to disclose such other CalPERS agency employment and shall indemnify and hold City harmless from any such costs and liabilities.
(f) No Recent Unemployment Payments to Retiree. Retiree specifically warrants and represents that Employee has not received unemployment insurance payments in the prior 12-month period arising from work performed as a retiree for any public employer.
5. Termination: Either Party may terminate this Agreement without cause upon written notice.
6. Ownership of Work: All documents furnished to Employee by the City and all reports and supportive data prepared by Employee under this Agreement are City property and shall be given to City at the completion of Employee’s services.
7. Notices: Any notice given under this Agreement shall be in writing and deemed given when personally delivered or deposited in the mail (certified or registered) addressed to the Parties as follows:

11.

Agenda Item 16
CITY OF YUBA CITY
STAFF REPORT
Date: October 3, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Finance/IT Department
Presentation By: Spencer Morrison, Finance Director
Summary
Subject: Heavy Equipment Lease Financing
Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution awarding a contract for lease purchase financing services to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., to finance the purchase of two dump trucks and an all-terrain fire engine through a Master Lease Agreement for a $1,000,000 line of credit
Fiscal Impact: Purchase cost to the City is $397,099.22 for the purchase and equipping of two dump truck vehicles, an estimated $515,000 for the purchase and equipping of the all-terrain fire vehicle, an estimated $20,000 for cost of issuance, and $228,000 in total interest costs over the next 10 years on the amount borrowed to purchase the vehicles.
Purpose:
Use lease financing to purchase two dump trucks and an all-terrain fire vehicle.
Council's Strategic Goal:
This item addresses the City Council strategic goal of fiscal responsibility.
Background:
The City continues to update its fleet to replace aging vehicles and ensure compliance with changing regulations. In 2021, the City financed two fire engines, a sewer Vac-Con truck, a 12-yard dump truck, a street sweeper, and a backhoe loader through a 10-year equipment lease purchase financing. Prior to 2021, the City had purchased vehicles using cash, but starting in 2021, the City implemented a financing strategy for some vehicles to tie the cost of those vehicles to their useful lives and also to ease the near-term burden on the contributing funds.
City staff are proposing to finance the acquisition of two dump truck vehicles and an all-terrain fire vehicle. The City Council authorized the purchase of the vehicles as part of the approval of the 2023- 24 Operating Budget.
City staff have received a quote from PB Loader Corporation for a total net price of $388,796.45 for the purchase of two dump truck vehicles. The quote reflects the benefit of Sourcewell pricing, a
government purchasing consortium. Delivery time for the trucks is approximately 240-280 days after the order is placed.
City staff estimate that the total cost of the all-terrain fire vehicle (including post-production equipping of the vehicle) will be approximately $515,000. The City does not have a quote at this time, but recognizes that the benefits of locking in a competitive financing rate and the economies of scale from including financing for the fire truck along with the financing for the two dump truck vehicles.
Analysis:
Staff reached out to the City’s municipal advisors, NHA Advisors, LLC of San Rafael, California (NHA) to assist in a competitive bidding process for the equipment lease financing. NHA prepared a bid packet, sent it out to seventeen banks, and received nine bids ranging from 3.99% to 8.99%. Upon review of the bids, NHA determined that JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. (“JPMorgan”) had the most competitive bid, since their bid identified a locked, fixed 3.99% interest rate and no add-on bank financing costs. Their bid is attached to this agenda item.
JPMorgan’s 3.99% bid is based on the City utilizing a make-whole call option for the financing. This make-whole call option means that if the City elects to pre-pay the equipment lease financing, the prepayment price is a function of both the remaining outstanding lease payments and the market interest rates as of the time of prepayment. Typically, an issuer will utilize a make-whole call provision when the issuer desires to preserve the option to prepay a financial obligation, but also recognizes that it is unlikely that they refund that obligation for savings in the future. Given the size of this lease ($1 million), the short, 10-year term, and the City’s historic practice of letting these equipment leases remain for their full term, City staff and their municipal advisor believe that the benefits of securing a lower interest rate outweigh the potential costs associated with a make-whole call.
In addition to JPMorgan’s bid, other documents included with this agenda item are the Master Lease Agreement, the 2023 Lease Schedule and the Escrow Agreement. These documents are summarized in the following bullet points:
• Good Faith Estimates – these are required under California Government Code Section 5852.1 and provide a point-in-time estimate of the costs of the 10-year financing. Because the City’s interest rate is locked, and fixed through maturity, it is likely that these point-in-time estimates will also be the final amounts paid.
• Authorizing Resolution – empowers City staff to enter into the equipment lease with JPMorgan for the purchase of the vehicles, provided the lease terms comply with the not-toexceed amounts identified in the resolution. • Master Lease Agreement (“MLA”) – Outlines the general provisions of the agreement between JPMorgan and the City for the current $1 million Lease Schedule and for any future additional lease schedules. Since the MLA is intended to apply to multiple Lease Schedules, the provisions contained in the MLA are not equipment specific. • Lease Schedule (“2023 Lease Schedule”) – contains the details specific to the current $1 million 2023 Lease Schedule and describes the equipment being financed, including the interest rate, repayment terms, prepayment terms, and other affirmations of the City. • Escrow Agreement – outlines the relationship between the City, JPMorgan, and TMI Trust Company (“Escrow Agent”) for the 2023 Lease Schedule. This document outlines the role of the Escrow Agent, the terms under which the Escrow Agent will administer the escrow account, investment guidelines for funds in the escrow, and the process by which escrow funds will be disbursed to the City or to vendors to pay for the vehicles.
Fiscal Impact:
The City plans to use the 2023 Lease Schedule to finance the acquisition of two dump trucks and one all-terrain fire vehicle. The total amount borrowed will be $1 million, which will pay for the $397,099.22 cost of the two dump trucks, an estimated $515,000 for the fire vehicle, and an estimated $20,000 cost of issuance. The remainder under the $1 million authorization will serve as contingency in the event that costs come in higher than anticipated. Because the City is financing these costs, the City will not be paying them upfront. Rather, during the 10-year term of the lease, the City will pay approximately $121,260 each fiscal year through FY 2033-34 (final payment September 1, 2033). During the 10-year term of the 2023 Lease Schedule, the total interest paid by the City will be approximately $228,000.
Alternatives:
City Council may direct staff to:
1. not purchase these vehicles;
2. rely on cash-on-hand to make the purchase; or
3. seek new proposals through a different proposal process.
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution awarding a contract for lease purchase financing services to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., to finance the purchase of two dump trucks and an all-terrain fire engine through a Master Lease Agreement for a $1,000,000 line of credit.

3. LEASE TERM. The term of the lease of the Equipment described in each Lease ("Lease Term") commences on the first date any of such Equipment is accepted by Lessee pursuant to Section 5 hereof or on the date specified in the Schedule for such Lease and, unless earlier terminated as expressly provided in the Lease, continues until Lessee's payment and performance in full of all of Lessee's obligations under the Lease.
4. RENT PAYMENTS.
4.1 For each Lease, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor the rent payments (the "Rent Payments") in the amounts and at the times as set forth in the Payment Schedule attached to the Schedule (the "Payment Schedule"). A portion of each Rent Payment is paid as and represents the payment of interest as set forth in the Payment Schedule. Lessee acknowledges that its obligation to pay Rent Payments including interest therein accrues as of the Accrual Date stated in the Schedule or its Payment Schedule; provided, that no Rent Payment is due until Lessee accepts the Equipment under the Lease or the parties execute an escrow agreement. Rent Payments will be payable for the Lease Term in U.S. dollars, without notice or demand at the office of Lessor (or such other place as Lessor may designate from time to time in writing).
4.2 If Lessor receives any payment from Lessee later than ten (10) days from the due date, Lessee shall pay Lessor on demand as a late charge five per cent (5%) of such overdue amount, limited, however, to the maximum amount allowed by law.
4.3 EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 6, THE OBLIGATION TO PAY RENT PAYMENTS
UNDER EACH LEASE SHALL BE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL IN ALL EVENTS AND SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY SETOFF, DEFENSE, COUNTERCLAIM, ABATEMENT OR RECOUPMENT FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER.
5. DELIVERY; ACCEPTANCE; FUNDING CONDITIONS.
5.1 Lessee shall arrange for the transportation, delivery and installation of all Equipment to the location specified in the Schedule ("Location") by Equipment suppliers ("Suppliers") selected by Lessee. Lessee shall pay all costs related thereto.
5.2 Lessee shall accept Equipment as soon as it has been delivered and is operational. Lessee shall evidence its acceptance of any Equipment by signing and delivering to Lessor the applicable Schedule. If Lessee signs and delivers a Schedule and if all Funding Conditions have been satisfied in full, then Lessor will pay or cause to be paid the costs of such Equipment as stated in the Schedule ("Purchase Price") to the applicable Supplier.

151211-V1
01248.0007/924375.2 Page 2 of 8
(collectively, the "Code"); (d) no material adverse change shall have occurred in the financial condition of Lessee or any Supplier; (e) the Equipment is reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and is free and clear of any Liens (except Lessor's Liens); (f) all representations of Lessee in the Lease remain true, accurate and complete; and (g) Lessor has received all of the following documents, which shall be reasonably satisfactory, in form and substance, to Lessor: (1) evidence of insurance coverage required by the Lease; (2) an opinion of Lessee's counsel; (3) reasonably detailed invoices for the Equipment; (4) Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) financing statements; (5) copies of resolutions by Lessee's governing body authorizing the Lease and incumbency certificates for the person(s) who will sign the Lease; (6) such documents and certificates relating to the tax-exempt interest payable under the Lease (including, without limitation, IRS Form 8038G or 8038GC) as Lessor may request; and (7) such other documents and information previously identified by Lessor or otherwise reasonably requested by Lessor.
6. TERMINATION FOR GOVERNMENTAL NON-APPROPRIATIONS.
6.1 For each Lease, Lessee represents and warrants: that it has appropriated and budgeted the necessary funds to make all Rent Payments required pursuant to such Lease for the remainder of the fiscal year in which the Lease Term commences; and that it currently intends to make Rent Payments for the full Lease Term as scheduled in the applicable Payment Schedule if funds are appropriated for the Rent Payments in each succeeding fiscal year by its governing body. Without contractually committing itself to do so, Lessee reasonably believes that moneys in an amount sufficient to make all Rent Payments can and will lawfully be appropriated therefor. Lessee directs the person in charge of its budget requests to include the Rent Payments payable during each fiscal year in the budget request presented to Lessee's governing body for such fiscal year; provided, that Lessee's governing body retains authority to approve or reject any such budget request. All Rent Payments shall be payable out of the general funds of Lessee or out of other funds legally appropriated therefor. Lessor agrees that no Lease will be a general obligation of Lessee and no Lease shall constitute a pledge of either the full faith and credit of Lessee or the taxing power of Lessee.
6.2 If Lessee's governing body fails to appropriate sufficient funds in any fiscal year for Rent Payments or other payments due under a Lease and if other funds are not legally appropriated for such payments, then a "Non-Appropriation Event" shall be deemed to have occurred. If a Non-Appropriation Event occurs, then: (a) Lessee shall give Lessor immediate notice of such NonAppropriation Event and provide written evidence of such failure by Lessee's governing body; (b) on the Return Date, Lessee shall return to Lessor all, but not less than all, of the Equipment covered by the affected Lease, at Lessee's sole expense, in accordance with Section 21 hereof; and (c) the affected Lease shall terminate on the Return Date without penalty to Lessee, provided, that Lessee shall pay all Rent Payments and other amounts payable under the affected Lease for which funds have been appropriated, provided further, that Lessee shall pay month-to-month rent at the rate set forth in the affected Lease for each month or part thereof that Lessee fails to return the Equipment under this Section 6.2. "Return Date" means the last day of the fiscal year for which appropriations were made for the Rent Payments due under a Lease.
7. LIMITATION ON WARRANTIES. LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, AS TO THE
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT OR AS TO THE VALUE, DESIGN, CONDITION, USE, CAPACITY OR DURABILITY OF ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT. For and during the Lease Term, Lessor hereby assigns to Lessee any manufacturer's or Supplier's product warranties, express or implied, applicable to any Equipment and Lessor authorizes Lessee to obtain the customary services furnished in connection with such warranties at Lessee's sole expense. Lessee agrees that (a) all Equipment will have been purchased by Lessor in accordance with Lessee's specifications from Suppliers selected by Lessee, (b) Lessor is not a manufacturer or dealer of any Equipment and has no liability for the delivery or installation of any Equipment, (c) Lessor assumes no obligation with respect to any manufacturer's or Supplier's product warranties or guaranties, (d) no manufacturer or Supplier or any representative of said parties is an agent of Lessor, and (e) any warranty, representation, guaranty or agreement made by any manufacturer or Supplier or any representative of said parties shall not be binding upon Lessor.
8. TITLE; SECURITY INTEREST.
8.1 Upon Lessee's acceptance of any Equipment under a Lease, title to the Equipment shall vest in Lessee, subject to Lessor's security interest therein and all of Lessor's other rights under such Lease including, without limitation, Sections 6, 20 and 21 hereof.
8.2 As collateral security for the Secured Obligations, Lessee hereby grants to Lessor a first priority security interest in any and all of the Equipment (now existing or hereafter acquired) and any and all proceeds thereof. Lessee agrees to execute and deliver to Lessor all necessary documents to evidence and perfect such security interest, including, without limitation, UCC financing statements and any amendments thereto.
8.3 "Secured Obligations" means Lessee's obligations to pay all Rent Payments and all other amounts due and payable under all present and future Leases and to perform and observe all covenants, agreements and conditions (direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, or existing or hereafter arising) of Lessee under all present and future Leases.
151211-V1
01248.0007/924375.2 Page 3 of 8
9. PERSONAL PROPERTY. All Equipment is and will remain personal property and will not be deemed to be affixed or attached to real estate or any building thereon.
10. MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION. Lessee agrees it shall, at its sole expense: (a) repair and maintain all Equipment in good condition and working order and supply and install all replacement parts or other devices when required to so maintain the Equipment or when required by applicable law or regulation, which parts or devices shall automatically become part of the Equipment; and (b) use and operate all Equipment in a careful manner in the normal course of its operations and only for the purposes for which it was designed in accordance with the manufacturer's warranty requirements; and (c) comply with all laws and regulations relating to the Equipment. If any Equipment is customarily covered by a maintenance agreement, Lessee will furnish Lessor with a maintenance agreement by a party reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. No maintenance or other service for any Equipment will be provided by Lessor. Lessee will not make any alterations, additions or improvements ("Improvements") to any Equipment without Lessor's prior written consent unless the Improvements may be readily removed without damage to the operation, value or utility of such Equipment, but any such Improvements not removed prior to the termination of the applicable Lease shall automatically become part of the Equipment.
11. LOCATION; INSPECTION. Equipment will not be removed from, or if Equipment is rolling stock its permanent base will not be changed from, the Location without Lessor's prior written consent which will not be unreasonably withheld. Upon reasonable notice to Lessee, Lessor may enter the Location or elsewhere during normal business hours to inspect the Equipment.
12. LIENS, SUBLEASES AND TAXES.
12.1 Lessee shall keep all Equipment free and clear of all Liens except those Liens created under its Lease. Lessee shall not sublet or lend any Equipment or permit it to be used by anyone other than Lessee or Lessee's employees.
12.2 Lessee shall pay when due all Taxes which may now or hereafter be imposed upon any Equipment or its ownership, lease, rental, sale, purchase, possession or use, upon any Lease or upon any Rent Payments or any other payments due under any Lease. If Lessee fails to pay such Taxes when due, Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such Taxes. If Lessor pays any such Taxes, then Lessee shall, upon demand, immediately reimburse Lessor therefor. "Taxes" means present and future taxes, levies, duties, assessments or other governmental charges that are not based on the net income of Lessor, whether they are assessed to or payable by Lessee or Lessor, including, without limitation (a) sales, use, excise, licensing, registration, titling, gross receipts, stamp and personal property taxes, and (b) interest, penalties or fines on any of the foregoing.
13. RISK OF LOSS.
13.1 Lessee bears the entire risk of loss, theft, damage or destruction of any Equipment in whole or in part from any reason whatsoever ("Casualty Loss"). No Casualty Loss to any Equipment shall relieve Lessee from the obligation to make any Rent Payments or to perform any other obligation under any Lease. Proceeds of any insurance recovery will be applied to Lessee's obligations under this Section 13.
13.2 If a Casualty Loss occurs to any Equipment, Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor of the same and Lessee shall, unless otherwise directed by Lessor, immediately repair the same.
13.3 If Lessor determines that any item of Equipment has suffered a Casualty Loss beyond repair ("Lost Equipment"), then Lessee shall either: (a) immediately replace the Lost Equipment with similar equipment in good repair, condition and working order free and clear of any Liens (except Lessor's Liens), in which event such replacement equipment shall automatically be Equipment under the applicable Lease, and deliver to Lessor true and complete copies of the invoice or bill of sale covering the replacement equipment; or (b) on earlier of 60 days after the Casualty Loss or the next scheduled Rent Payment date (the "Loss Payment Due Date"), pay Lessor (i) all amounts owed by Lessee under the applicable Lease, including the Rent Payments due on or accrued through such date plus (ii) an amount equal to the Termination Value as of the Rent Payment date (or if the Casualty Loss payment is due between Rent Payment dates, then as of the Rent Payment date preceding the date that the Casualty Loss payment is due) set forth in the Payment Schedule to the applicable Lease. If Lessee is making such payment with respect to less than all of the Equipment under a Lease, then Lessor will provide Lessee with the pro rata amount of the Rent Payment and Termination Value to be paid by Lessee with respect to the Lost Equipment and a revised Payment Schedule. "Break Funding Charge" means the amount, if any, by which (a) the present value of all Remaining Payments discounted to the Prepayment Date at a rate equal to the swap rate of an interest rate swap which the Lessor shall be deemed to have entered into as of the business day preceding the Prepayment Date exceeds (b) the present value of all Remaining Payments discounted to the Prepayment Date at a rate equal to the swap rate of an interest rate swap which the Lessor shall be deemed to have entered into as of the date of the Lease. "Fair Market Value" means the amount which would be paid for an item of Equipment by an informed and willing buyer (other than a used equipment or scrap dealer) and an informed and willing seller neither under a compulsion to buy or sell. "Prepayment Date" means, (i) in the case of a payment resulting from a Casualty Loss, the Loss Payment Due Date, or (ii) in the case of a demand made pursuant to section 20, the Demand Date. "Remaining Payments" means, as of the Prepayment Date, (a) the remaining rents and all other amounts Lessee is obligated to pay
