ITEM NO. 6C1
1
Meeting Date: May 23, 2017
Department: Development Services
Submitted By: Mary Grace Pawson, Director of Development Services/City Engineer
Prepared By: Art da Rosa, Deputy City Engineer
Agenda Title: Authorizing the Martin Avenue Rehabilitation Project (Project No. 2017-15)
and Related Actions
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve a resolution authorizing the Martin Avenue
Rehabilitation Project (Project No. 2017-15) and related actions.
BACKGROUND: Martin Avenue is a 600-foot minor collector street that connects Redwood
Drive to Dowdell Avenue and serves as an access point to Costco, Ashley Furniture and the
Stadium Lands Planned Development Area. In January 2017, the City Council approved updates
to the Stadium Area Master Plan and the Final Development Plan for the Residences at Five
Creeks Project. These approvals set the stage for construction of a new hotel, multi-family
residential complex, and retail complex as well as a new City fire station and park. The approved
development plan includes an extension of Martin Avenue to connect Dowdell Avenue to Labath
Avenue.
Through the development review process, staff has had the opportunity to evaluate the condition
of the existing stretch of Martin Avenue, which is poor. Upgrading Martin Avenue at this time
would improve service to public, who currently use Martin Avenue to access local businesses,
and ensure that the infrastructure in Stadium Lands Planned Development Area is ready to
support planned buildout.
ANALYSIS: Staff evaluated the option of including Martin Avenue within the planned
Redwood and Commerce Rehabilitation Project. However, Martin Avenue is so badly
deteriorated that it cannot be adequately rehabilitated using the seal coating process that is
included in the Redwood and Commerce Rehabilitation project. As a result, staff is proposing a
new capital improvement project to reconstruct Martin Avenue using the full depth reclamation
process. Bringing the project forward at this time, allows it to be completed with other planned
work in the area, minimizing the inconvenience to the public from construction activity. Staff has
included budget for construction of the project in the fiscal year 2017-18 capital improvement
program but is also requesting a budget amendment of $130,000 in the current fiscal year to
accommodate surveying, design and project administration.
In accordance with the City’s purchasing policy, staff issued a request for qualifications for
design of the Martin Rehabilitation Project. The City received two proposals and Moe
Engineering was selected due their qualifications, familiarity with the City’s processes and costs.
Moe’s proposed design fee is $80,750. Staff has authorized $14,450 of early surveying and
coordination work, under Moe’s existing Master Services Agreement, to allow for coordination
with Residences at Five Creeks Project, which is processing improvement plans with the City.
Mission Statement
“We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a
Better Community for Today and Tomorrow.”
CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
ITEM NO. 6C1
2
Staff is requesting that Council authorize the City Manager to execute a Task Order Amendment
with Moe Engineering to fund the remaining $66,425 for the design work.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: This action is consistent with Strategic Plan Goal D –
Continue to Develop a Vibrant Community.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED: None. Completing the Martin Avenue Rehabilitation Project at this
time will ensure that the developing Stadium Lands Planned Development Area is well-served
by public infrastructure and it will improve the experience of the public when they access this
area and the nearby commercial businesses.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE: The fiscal impact of the requested action is
$130,000, which covers the cost of engineering design and project management. The proposed
funding source for the action is the Refuse Road Impact Fund (Fund 125).
The funding for constructing the Martin Avenue Rehabilitation Project has been included in the
City’s 2017-18 capital improvement program.

Subject: Revised Cost Proposal for Design Engineering Services
Martin Ave Rehabilitation
Rohnert Park
Dear Mr. da Rosa:
We are pleased to learn our firm has been selected to provide design engineering
services for the Martin Avenue Rehabilitation project. Thank you for meeting with
Rick Pedroncelli and myself on April 10th. We understand the reduced scope of work
to be from rehabilitating segments of Commerce Blvd, Redwood Drive & Martin
Avenue to only Martin Avenue with the traffic signal modification at the intersection
with Redwood Drive. Also, we understand the City would like the Martin Avenue
rehabilitation construction to occur as soon as possible versus in 2018. Based on our
meeting we understand the revised scope of work to be described as follows:
1. Prepared plans, technical specifications and provide construction estimate for
Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) cement of Martin Avenue between but not
including the intersections of Dowdell Avenue and Redwood Drive.
2. The County of Sonoma Materials Lab will provide geotechnical investigation
and mix design for FDR (Cement) under services secured by the City.
3. Moe Engineering will complete a CEQA Categorical exemption for the Cities
execution and filing.
4. The City desires to avoid Storm Water Low Impact Development (LID)
requirements and triggers that require implementation of LID measures. This
desire appears acceptable as the Santa Rosa Low Impact Development
Manual, Determination Worksheet, Part 2: Project Exemptions, include
projects which are a routine maintenance activity that is being conducted to
maintain original line and grade, hydraulic capacity, and original purpose of
facility such as resurfacing existing roads. If the City is desiring to obtain
Regional Water Quality Board credit for implementing LID measures with this
project tree pods at the two curb inlets near Redwood Drive may be an
affordable item to consider.

5. It is understood that the funding of the project is being made by and through
City funds which do not require any federal or state permits or approvals.
6. A complete field topographic survey will be conducted and drafting of base
mapping of the Martin Avenue segment.
7. All utilities will be researched and identified on the base mapping. Utility
companies, such as PG&E, Comcast, and AT&T will be consulted and
requested to provide utility depths and locations in order to accurately map
them. Moe will hire a contractor to perform potholing of utilities under a city-
issued encroachment permit.
8. Moe Engineering will work collaboratively with the County of Sonoma
Materials Lab per the City request for corings and designing of the FDR mix
design section.
9. Moe is reviewing the private development plans for the Residences at Five
Creek and therefore will coordinate the redesign of the western leg of the
Martin/Dowdell intersection including the southern leg of the intersection
(Ashley Furniture Site) with the private engineer’s plans. Moe believes the
private development plans can and should provide for the design.
Additionally, the Residences at Five Creek plans include installation of a 12-
inch water main in Redwood Drive at the intersection with Martin Avenue.
This work will need to be coordinated with the construction of the Martin Ave
FDR work.
10. Moe will utilize W-trans for developing plans and technical specifications for
the upgrade of the existing traffic signal located at Martin/Redwood
intersection including advance detection system and a 2070 signal controller.
The construction of this signal upgrade is proposed to be solicited separately
from the Martin Avenue construction via an informal bid processes which
would allow the installation to occur prior to the pavement rehab work.
11. Moe will provide engineering design services to prepare plans, specification
and construction cost estimates (60% design, 90% design, and 100% design)
and design/construction schedule for the Project. This work will include:
60% Submittal
60% Plans consists of draft Typical Cross Sections, Layout Plans detailing
existing utilities and work to be done, Striping plans, rudimentary technical
specifications, and construction cost estimate. The submittal will include outline
specifications, 3 sets of preliminary plans and a preliminary estimate of probable
construction costs.
90% Submittal
Moe will meet with the City to review the 60% design comments. Following this
review, Moe will prepare the 90% submittal. The 90% Plan is expected to be
advertisement ready product with all comments from the 60% submittal
Martin Ave Rehabilitation - Proposal for Design Engineering Services

April 25, 2017
implemented. Traffic signal upgrade with advance detection system will need to
be completed with the 90% submittals of plans, specifications, and estimates.
Final Submittal
Following the 90% review meeting with the City, Moe will prepare final bid
documents. An electronic copy of the drawings (in both AutoCAD and pdf) and
specifications will also be provided. Moe will also prepare a design package to
facilitate the construction management personnel, such package will be
equivalent to the RE Folder as described in Caltrans Construction Manual.
12. Moe will provide complete project advertisement services for both the
informally bid Traffic Signal Modifications and the formally bid Martin Ave.
work. Moe will advertise the project on the City’s behalf, respond to RFI’s
during advertisement, and recommend the lowest responsible bidder. Moe will
cooperate with the Construction Management Team to provide a complete and
timely project delivery.
13. Moe will respond to RFI’s during construction, attend the pre-construction
meeting, review submittals, change order review and As-built preparation.

Meeting Date: May 23, 2017
Department: Development Services
Submitted By: Mary Grace Pawson, Director of Development Services/ City Engineer
Prepared By: Mary Grace Pawson, Director of Development Services/ City Engineer
Agenda Title: Consideration of a Public Improvement Agreement for Vast Oak East
Utility Improvements and Related Actions
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a Resolution Approving a Public Improvement
Agreement for Vast Oak East Utility Improvements and Finding this Action Covered under the
Updated Environmental Impact Report for the University District Specific Plan as amended.
BACKGROUND: The City has approved a Tentative Map and entered into a Development
Agreement with the University District LLC and Vast Oak Properties L.P. (“Developer”) to
facilitate the orderly development of the University District Specific Plan Area. Both the
Conditions of Approval for the Tentative Map and the Development Agreement require that the
construction of public infrastructure be coordinated so that the infrastructure is available to serve
new residential and commercial development planned within the Specific Plan Area.
ANALYSIS: The Developer intends to process Final Maps for the second phase of the
University District called Vast Oak East Phase 2A through 2F. This new phase is located north
of Rohnert Park Expressway and directly west of Petaluma Hill Road. The City has already
authorized the construction of “backbone” water, recycled water, sewer and storm drain
infrastructure serving this area and the Developer is now seeking approval to construct the
remaining wet utilities. The Developer’s goal is to complete the construction of the infrastructure
serving these new neighborhoods in 2017, in order to allow residential construction to being
sometime in 2018.
The Developer is committing to complete the construction of these improvements through the
proposed Public Improvement Agreement and has posted the necessary performance and labor
and materials bonds with the City.
The proposed Public Improvement Agreement is in the same form that has been previously
approved by Council. Like the other Improvement Agreements, this Agreement outlines in more
detail than specified in the Conditions of Approval or the Development Agreement, the
Developer’s duty to install the improvements to City standards and protect them until
acceptance; the City’s rights for inspection and cost recovery; the process by which new
improvements will be inspected by the City; requirements to pay prevailing wage; requirements
for bonds, insurance and indemnity and the City’s remedies against breach or default by the
Mission Statement
“We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a
Better Community for Today and Tomorrow.”
CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
ITEM NO. 6C2

Developer. The Agreement also requires that the Developer post performance and labor and
material bonds, for the full constructed value.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: The proposed Public Improvement Agreement will
authorize and provide for the construction of a number of infrastructure improvements that will
serve the development. These improvements were included in the Project Description Section of
the Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR dated July 2005) for the University District
Specific Plan. These improvements are necessary to serve the planned development. Because the
improvements were included in the Project Description, the analysis in the Draft EIR included an
analysis of the construction and operation of these improvements and mitigation measures were
developed to minimize any impacts. The Draft EIR identified 19 temporary construction impacts
that are associated with the development of the site, including the construction of infrastructure
improvements. All of these impacts are less than significant or can be reduced to a less than
significant level with standard construction mitigation that will be incorporated into the approved
plans required by the Public Improvement Agreements.
The description of the required infrastructure improvements necessary to serve the development
was not substantially changed by either the Final EIR (March 2006) or the CEQA Addendum
(February 2014). Because the proposed improvements were included in the Project Description
considered in the University District Specific Plan EIR, and their impacts were analyzed and
mitigated to a less than significant level, no further CEQA analysis is required. The City will use
its plan approval process to ensure that mitigations to control construction noise, dust, hazards
and biological impacts are included as part of the work.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED: None. The recommended action is consistent with the
Development Agreement and Conditions of Approval for the Tentative Map and is necessary to
complete the project.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE: The project will be constructed and paid for by the
Developer. The Public Improvement Agreement acknowledges that the Developer may, at a later
date, be reimbursed for costs from a Community Facilities District (CFD) bond sale, through a
CFD that has been established by the California Statewide Communities Development Authority.
If CFD bonds are used to fund some, or all, of the infrastructure, these bonds will be repaid from
special tax revenue generated from the property within the Specific Plan Area and will not be an
obligation of the City. Construction of public improvements required by the Conditions of
Approval has or will be guaranteed with performance and labor and material bonds.
After acceptance of the improvements, the City will incur ongoing maintenance costs which will
be funded from the maintenance annuity deposit provided by the Developer in accordance with
the Development Agreement.

(24) hours to correct, remedy or cure the deficiency. City shall not be responsible or liable for any
damages or injury of any nature in any way related to or caused by the Improvements or their condition
prior to acceptance.
4.2. Completion Date. Developer will complete the Work within two years of the
Effective Date or as required by the Conditions of Approval for the University District Vast Oak
Property, whichever is sooner. All Work will be completed in a good and workmanlike manner in
accordance with accepted design and construction practices. This completion date may be extended by the
City in its sole and absolute discretion at the request of Developer, which request shall be accompanied by
a written assurance acceptable to the City Attorney that the securities required by Section 5 shall remain
enforceable throughout the term of the extension.
4.3. Estimated Cost of Work. The estimated cost of the Work is as follows:
Vast Oak East Phases 2A, 2E and 2F: Nine Hundred and Sixty Five Thousand,
Eight Hundred and Forty Dollars and No Cents ($965,840.00)
Vast Oak East Phases 2B-2D: One Million, Nine Hundred and Twenty Three
Thousand, Seven Hundred and Ninety Dollars and No Cents ($1,923,790.00)
Notwithstanding this estimate, Developer hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) the
actual costs to complete the Work may significantly exceed this estimate, (b) this estimate in no way
limits Developer’s financial obligation, and (c) that Developer is obligated to complete the Work at its
own cost, expense, and liability.
4.4. Modifications to the Plans. Approval of this Agreement by City does not release
Developer of its responsibility to correct mistakes, errors or omissions in the Improvement Plans. If, at
any time, in the opinion of the City Engineer, in his/her reasonable discretion, the Improvement Plans are
deemed inadequate in any respect Developer agrees to make such modifications, changes or revisions as
necessary in order to complete the Work in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with accepted
design and construction standards.
4.5. Foreman or Superintendent. Developer shall give personal attention to the Work.
A competent foreman or superintendent, satisfactory to the City Engineer, in his/her reasonable
discretion, with authority to act for and on behalf of Developer, shall be named in writing by Developer
prior to commencement of the Work, shall be present on the Property during the performance of the
Work. Any change in the superintendent will require advance notification to the City Engineer and
concurrence of the City Engineer and the Engineer of Record for the Improvement Plans.
4.6. Encroachment Permits. Developer shall obtain, at its sole cost and expense, any
encroachment permits required by the City in order to perform the Work.
4.7. Inspection: All of the Improvements shall be constructed and installed to the
satisfaction of the City Engineer, in his or her reasonable discretion. City and its authorized agents shall,
at all times during the construction of the Improvements, have free access to the Improvements and shall
4
be allowed to examine and inspect the Improvements and all material used and to be used in the
Improvements to confirm compliance with City Plans and Specifications.
4.8. Commencement of Construction and Inspection. Developer and its contractor
or subcontractors shall not commence construction of the Improvements until Developer has received
written authorization from City to proceed. Written authorization shall be in the form of signed
approved plans along with permit issuance, including any encroachment permit required to carry on
construction activities in the City's right-of-way as described in Section 4 .6. All work performed on
the Improvements shall be done in strict compliance with the City approved plans, specifications and
the contract documents and in a good and workmanlike manner. All work performed by Developer,
its contractor or agents to construct the Improvements shall be subject to inspection by City. All fees
and costs to construct the Improvements shall be borne solely by Developer (including the applicable
Inspection Fee in accordance with the City's adopted Engineering Fee Schedule). Inspection by City
or its employees or agents shall not relieve Developer of its liability for design defects or improper
or inadequate workmanship.
4.9. City's Inspection, Administration and Testing Costs. Developer shall pay to City
the actual cost for all inspection, administration and testing services furnished by City in connection with
this Agreement, including those performed by consultants under contract with the City (the "City Costs").
City agrees not to double charge Developer (through the imposition of both a processing fee and a
consultant charge) for any individual monitoring, inspection, testing or evaluation service. In addition,
City agrees to limit its use of outside consultants to those reasonably necessary or desirable, as
determined by the City Manager or his designee in his reasonable discretion, to accomplish the requisite
inspection, administration and monitoring. The estimated cost for the inspection, administration and
testing services is Forty Three Thousand, Three Hundred and Forty-Four Dollars and Forty-Five Cents
($43,344.45) (the "Estimated Cost"). Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Developer shall
deposit an amount equal to the Estimated Cost with City for the payment of the City Costs. In the event
that the Estimated Cost is insufficient to cover the actual City Costs incurred, Developer shall, upon
notice in writing by the City Engineer, deposit such additional amount as may be required to pay the City
Costs. Any amount of the Estimated Cost, initial deposit or additional amounts deposited remaining after
payment of all City Costs will be returned to Developer. City may, at its discretion, deposit such funds in
an interest-bearing account and retain any and all interest earned.
4.10. No Waiver by City. Inspecting of the work and/or materials, or approval of work
and/or materials, or a statement by an officer, agent or employee of the City indicating the work complies
with this Agreement, or acceptance of all or any portion of the work and/or materials, or payments
thereof, or any combination of all of these acts shall not relieve Developer or its obligation to fulfill this
Agreement; nor is the City by these acts prohibited from bringing an action for damages arising from the
failure to comply with this Agreement.
4.11. Erosion Control. Pursuant to Rohnert Park Municipal Code Chapter 15.52,
Developer shall be responsible for the control of erosion on the Property and shall prevent its entry into
the storm drainage system.
4.12. Prevailing Wages. The work of the Improvements constitutes a "public work"
as defined in the California Labor Code, section 1771, et seq ("Labor Code Regulations") because
the work is being paid for in whole or in part out of public funds. City and Developer acknowledge
that the construction of the Improvements is subject to the payment of prevailing wages. Further,
Developer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold City, its elected officials, officers, employees, and
5
agents free and harmless from any and all claims, damages, suits or actions arising out of or
incident to Developer's obligations under this section and the payment of prevailing wages.
4.13. Contractor Licenses. All work performed on the Improvements shall be
done only by contractors licensed in the State of California and qualified to perform the type of
work required and comply with the City's Business License Ordinance.
4.14. Repair of Work Damaged During Construction. Developer agrees to repair or
have repaired in a timely manner at its sole cost and expense all public roads, streets, or other public or
private property damaged as a result of or incidental to the Work or in connection with the development
of the Property or to pay to the property owner of any damaged road, street or property the full cost of
such repair. In addition, Developer shall obtain the written acceptance of such repair or payment from any
owner whose private property was repaired by Developer or to whom Developer has paid the full cost of
such repair in accordance with this Section 4.14. City shall be under no obligation whatsoever to accept
the Work completed under this Agreement until such time as all repairs have been completed or have
been paid for and written acceptances have been provided to the City Engineer, except as otherwise
provided in section 4.18.1
4.15. Payments. Developer agrees that it will pay, when due, all those furnishing labor
or materials in connection with the Work. Developer further agrees that pursuant to Government Code
section 66499.7, the Labor and Materials Bond provided by Developer in accordance with Section 5.1.2
of this Agreement shall not be released if any mechanics liens or stop notices are outstanding, unless said
liens are released by bond in compliance with Civil Code section 3143.
4.16. Liability for Work Prior to Formal Acceptance. Until the City Council has
formally accepted the Improvements, Developer shall be solely responsible for all damage to the
work, regardless of cause, and for all damages or injuries to any person or property at the work
site, except damage or injury due to the sole negligence of City, or its employees. Developer shall
replace or repair any portion of the Improvements that have been destroyed or damaged prior to
final acceptance of completed work by the City Council or the City Engineer. Any such repair or
replacement shall be to the satisfaction and subject to the approval of the City Engineer. Developer
shall repair to the satisfaction of the City Engineer any damage to the utilities systems, concrete
work, street paving or other public improvements that may occur in connection with the
Improvements work.
4.17. Completion of Work. After Developer (a) completes the Work in accordance
with the Improvement Plans and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (b) repairs any road, street,
or private or public property damaged as a result of the Work or pays the full cost of such repair to the
owner whose property was damaged and (c) obtains the written acceptance of such repair or payment
from any owner whose private property was repaired by Developer or to whom Developer paid the full
cost of such repair, Developer will provide City with a written notice of completion, together with copies
of all written acceptances.
4.18. Final Acceptance.
4.18.1 Notice of Completion. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of Developer's
written notification pursuant to Section 4.17 above, City Engineer shall inspect the Work and repairs and
review the written acceptances, if any, and send Developer a written notice stating whether the Work and
repair are complete to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, in his/her reasonable discretion, and whether
the written acceptances have been provided. If the Work and repair are, in the opinion of the City
6
Engineer, not complete and satisfactory, and/or written acceptances have not been provided, the City
Engineer will list the deficiencies that must be corrected to find the Work and repair complete and
satisfactory. Upon satisfactory completion of the Work and repair and submittal of written acceptances,
the City Engineer will send Developer a written notice of satisfactory completion. The requirement for
written acceptances may be waived by the City Engineer, in his/her reasonable discretion, if Developer
has made commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such acceptances. City Engineer's failure to respond
to Developer's written notification within thirty (30) days will not be deemed a breach or default under
this Agreement.
4.18.2 Acceptance of Improvements. After sending Developer a written notice
of satisfactory completion pursuant to Section 4.18.1, the City Engineer will recommend acceptance of
the Improvements, or a portion thereof, to the City Council. In conjunction with such recommendation,
the City Engineer will recommend the acceptance of the offers of dedication shown on the final map for
the Property. The acceptance of the Improvements, offers of dedication and right-of-way and easements,
if any, shall be by resolution. Upon adoption of such resolution, the City Engineer shall record a notice of
acceptance, in a form to be approved by the City Attorney, in the Official Records of Sonoma County.
4.19. Warranty Period; Repair and Reconstruction. Without limiting the foregoing,
Developer expressly warrants and guarantees all work performed under this Agreement and all materials
used in the Work for a period of one (1) year after the date of recordation of the notice of acceptance of
the improvements in accordance with Section 4.18. If, within this one (1) year period, any Improvement
or part of any Improvement installed or constructed, or caused to be installed or constructed by
Developer, or any of the work done under this Agreement, fails to fulfill any of the requirements of the
Improvement Plans or this Agreement, Developer shall, without delay and without cost to City, repair,
replace or reconstruct any defective or otherwise unsatisfactory part or parts of the Work or Improvement
to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Should Developer fail to act promptly, by failing to repair, replace
or reconstruct work thirty (30) days after notification by City, or in accordance with this requirement, or
should the exigencies of the situation require repairs, replacements or reconstruction to be made before
Developer can be notified, City may, at its option, make the necessary repairs, replacements or perform
the necessary reconstruction and Developer shall pay to the City upon demand the actual cost of such
repairs, replacements or reconstruction.
4.20. Record Drawings. Upon completion of the Improvements and prior to final
acceptance by the City Council, Developer shall deliver to City one electronic file, in a format
specified by the City Engineer, and one mylar copy of "as-built" drawings. These drawings shall be
in a form acceptable to the City Engineer, shall be certified by an engineer licensed by the State of
California as to accuracy and completeness, and shall reflect the Improvements as actually
constructed, with any and all changes incorporated therein. Developer shall be solely responsible
and liable for ensuring the completeness and accuracy of the record drawings.
4.21. Ownership of Improvements. From and after acceptance of the
Improvements by formal action of the City Council, ownership of the Improvements shall be
vested exclusively in City.
5. Security.

The security shall secure payment to the contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) performing
the Work and to all persons furnishing labor, materials or equipment to them. The City shall retain each
security until both (i) the City accepts the Work in accordance with Section 4.18 above and (ii) the statute
of limitations to file an action under Civil Code section 3114 et seq. has expired. After said date, the
security may be reduced by the City Engineer to an amount not less than the total amount claimed by all
claimants for whom claims of lien have been recorded and notice given in writing to the City Council.
The balance of the security shall be retained until the final settlement of all such claims and obligations.
If no such claims have been recorded, the security shall be released in full by the City Engineer.

course of performance the City considers that it is necessary to have Developer post additional security,
the City may require either a cash deposit or a surety bond guaranteeing performance in a form and signed
8
by sureties satisfactory to it. The condition of the security shall be that if Developer fails to perform its
obligation under this Agreement, the City may in the case of a cash bond act for it using the proceeds or
in the case of a surety bond require the sureties to perform the obligations of the Agreement.
6. Indemnity and Insurance.
6.1 Indemnification. Developer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the City, its
elective and appointed boards, commissions, officers, agents, employees and consultants, harmless from
and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages or injuries of any kind (collectively, "Claims")
arising out of Developer's, or Developer's contractors', subcontractors', agents' or employees', acts,
omissions, or operations under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the performance of the
Work, whether such acts, omissions, or operations are by Developer or any of Developer's contractors,
subcontractors, agents or employees, except to the extent such Claims are caused by the sole negligence
or willful misconduct of the City. This indemnification includes, without limitation, the payment of all
penalties, fines, judgments, awards, decrees, attorneys’ fees, and related costs or expenses, and the
reimbursement of City, its elected officials, officers, employees, and/or agents for all legal expenses and
costs incurred by each of them.
The aforementioned indemnity shall apply regardless of whether or not City has
prepared, supplied or approved plans and/or specifications for the Work or Improvements and regardless
of whether any insurance required under this Agreement is applicable to any Claims. The City does not
and shall not waive any of its rights under this indemnity provision because of its acceptance of the bonds
or insurance required under the provisions of this Agreement. Developer’s obligation to indemnify City
shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
Developer agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to
those set forth here in this section from each and every contractor and sub-contractor or any other person
or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Developer in the performance of this Agreement. In the
event Developer fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required here, Developer agrees
to be fully responsible according to the terms of this section. Failure of City to monitor compliance with
these requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any
rights hereunder.
6.2. Insurance. Developer shall maintain Commercial General Liability Insurance
protecting the City from incidents as to bodily injury liability and property damage liability that may
occur as a result of the Work and additional repairs. Developer shall provide certificate(s) of insurance

volunteers are to be covered as additional insured’s as respects to liability arising
out of activities performed by or on behalf of Developer. The coverage shall
contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to the City, its
officers, elected officials, employees, consultants, agents and volunteers.
(2) The amounts of public liability and property damage coverage shall not be less
than $3,000,000 (Three Million Dollars) per occurrence for bodily injury,
personal injury and property damage.
(3) The insurance shall be maintained in full force until the work has been completed
to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
9
(4) The insurance policy shall provide for 30 days’ notice of cancellation to the City.
The policy shall not be cancelled earlier than nor the amount of coverage be
reduced earlier than 30 days after the City receives notice from the insurer of the
intent of cancellation or reduction.
(5) Any failure to comply with the reporting provisions of the policy shall not affect
the coverage provided to the City, its officers, elected officials, employees,
consultants, agents and volunteers.
(6) Developer's insurance coverage shall be primary insurance as respects the City,
its officers, elected officials, employees, consultants, agents and volunteers. Any
insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City, its officers, elected officials,
employees, consultants, agents and volunteers shall be in excess of Developer's
insurance and shall not contribute to it.
(7) Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by
City. At the option of City, either: (a) the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such
deductibles or self-insured retentions as respects City, its elected officials,
officers, employees, agents, and volunteers; or (b) Developer and its contractors
shall provide a financial guarantee satisfactory to City guaranteeing payment of
losses and related investigation costs, claims, and administrative and defense
expenses.
(8) Developer and Developer's insurance company agree to waive all rights of
subrogation against City, its officers, elected officials, employees, agents and
volunteers for losses paid under Developer's workers' compensation insurance
policy which arise from the work performed by Developer.
In the event that Developer's insurance is cancelled, Developer shall provide replacement coverage or all
work must cease as of the cancellation date until replacement insurance coverage is provided.
6.3. Workers' Compensation Insurance. Developer shall provide, or cause to be
provided, Workers' Compensation insurance as required by law, and shall cause its contractors and their
subcontractors, agents and representatives to also maintain Workers' Compensation insurance as required
by law. No Work shall commence until such Workers' Compensation insurance is obtained and in full
force and effect.
6.4. Other Insurance Requirements. Developer shall:
(1) Prior to taking any actions under this Agreement, furnish City with properly
executed certificates of insurance which shall clearly evidence all insurance
required in this section and provide that such insurance shall not be canceled,
allowed to expire or be materially reduced in coverage except on thirty (30)
days prior written notice to City.
(2) Provide to City certified copies of endorsements and policies if requested by City,
and properly executed certificates of insurance evidencing the insurance required
herein.

(5) Place all insurance required herein with insurers licensed to do business in
California.

repairs. City, without liability for doing so, may take possession of and utilize in completing the Work
and repairs, if any, such materials and other property belonging to Developer as may be on or about the
Property and necessary for completion of the work. In the event of default, the financial institution
holding the security shall be liable to City to pay the face amount of the bonds, as specified under Section
5.
7.3. Remedies. City may bring legal action to compel performance of this Agreement
and recover the costs of completing the Work and/or repairs, if any, including City's administrative and
legal costs. Developer agrees that if legal action is brought by City under this section of the Agreement,
Developer shall pay all of the costs of suit; reasonable attorney fees, arbitration costs and such other costs

EXHIBIT A
PROPERTY SUBJECT TO AGREEMENT
ITEM NO. 6C3
OAK #4840‐0082‐9000 v1 1
Meeting Date: May 23, 2017
Department: Administration
Submitted By: Darrin Jenkins, City Manager
Prepared By: Leonardo Tacata, Senior Analyst
Agenda Title: Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Memorandum of
Understanding with City of Rohnert Park Foundation to Accept
Community Investment Recurring Contributions from the Graton
Mitigation Fund
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Consider for approval and authorize by resolution the execution
of a memorandum of understanding with the City of Rohnert Park Foundation to distribute
recurring donations from the Graton Mitigation Fund.
BACKGROUND: On April 17, 2013, the City approved the First Amended and Restated
Memorandum of Understanding by and between the City of Rohnert Park and the Federated
Indians of Graton Rancheria (MOU) with the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria (“Tribe”) to
facilitate the mitigation of impacts resulting from the Graton Resort and Casino. As an
intergovernmental agreement, the MOU provides that the Tribe, through the Graton Mitigation
Fund, designates contributions to the City for certain purposes. One of these purposes is the
“Community Investment Recurring Contribution,” which consists of a quarterly recurring
charitable contribution to the Rohnert Park Foundation. It is important to note that a quarterly
Community Investment Recurring Contribution is only paid if there are sufficient funds
remaining in the Graton Mitigation Fund after guaranteed obligations to the City and County of
Sonoma have been met. Although not guaranteed, the Foundation through the City is expected to
receive approximately $50,000 for each of the first of twelve quarterly contributions. Thereafter,
the Foundation is expected to receive approximately $270,000 per quarter, through the end of the
term of the MOU, which is December 31, 2033, or the date the Tribal-State Compact or any
extension expires, whichever is later. The amount of the contribution will be adjusted by the
Consumer Price Index on an annual basis.
The Tribe will not make the Community Investment Recurring Contribution payments directly to
the Foundation. Pursuant to the “Tribal-State Compact between the State of California and the
Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria” executed on or about March 27, 2012, which established
the Graton Mitigation Fund, the Tribe makes payments to the State, which administers the
Graton Mitigation Fund. The State then makes payments to the City that will be passed through
to the Foundation. The City has been informed that it may receive its first quarterly Community
Investment Contribution in the fourth fiscal quarter of FY 2016-17 (June).
On May 2, 2017, the City of Rohnert Park Foundation Board authorized the Foundation
Executive Director to sign a memorandum of understanding with the City of Rohnert Park to
Mission Statement
“We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a
Better Community for Today and Tomorrow.”
CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
ITEM NO. 6C3
OAK #4840‐0082‐9000 v1 2
accept Graton Mitigation Fund Community Investment Recurring Contributions. This action
would allow the City to enter into an agreement with the Foundation.
SUMMARY:
The City has established an account whereby Community Investment Recurring Contribution
revenue will be deposited and subsequently distributed to the Foundation. To accept any
Community Investment Recurring Contribution payments that exceed $50,000 from one source,
the City of Rohnert Park Foundation Board must enter into a written agreement with the City.
The proposed MOU does not provide any restrictions on the use of the recurring contribution
provided to the Foundation. The Foundation Board has approved the receipt of Community
Investment Recurring Contributions to the Foundation and the proposed MOU on May 2, 2017.
City Council is requested to approve the written agreement in order for the Foundation to accept
these recurring mitigation funds.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: D: Continue to develop a vibrant community.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
(1) Option 1: Adopt the resolution to authorize the City Manager to execute the
Memorandum of Understanding with City of Rohnert Park Foundation to accept Graton
Mitigation funds in excess of $50,000. This is the recommended option.
(2) Option 2: Do not adopt the Foundation Memorandum of Understanding. Per the bylaws
of the City of Rohnert Park Foundation, the Foundation would likely not be able to accept
all of the Graton Mitigation Community Investment contributions designated in the MOU
between City and Tribe, as contributions will likely total more than $50,000 in every
fiscal year. Because the City’s MOU with the Tribe determines the use of the Community
Investment contributions, City may need to return the designated funds to the Graton
Mitigation Fund or amend the MOU to modify the requirements of the Community
Investment recurring contributions.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE: The net fiscal impact of the proposed Memorandum
of Understanding is zero ($0) dollars. The full amount of every contribution made to the
Foundation is offset by the same amount provided by the Graton Mitigation Fund contribution to
the City. The funding source is the Graton Mitigation Fund which is administered by the State of
California.

9.1 .1 RnNncouATIoN EvnNrs. The City or the Tribe may request that the
other party renegotiate one or more of the provisions of this MOU if there
is a change in law, facts, or other unforeseen circumstances that

in entering into this MOU ("Fundamental Changes Renegotiations").
Such Fundamental Changes shall be deemed to include, without
limitation, a signif,rcant adverse impact on either the City or Tribe as
follows:
(i)the existence of a significant adverse impact of the Project on the
City whose extent of impact was not specifically addressed in the
EIS or was not anticipated by the City;

California that substantially affects the Project's financial
projections and actual revenues by at least 25o/o; and

permitted on the Reservation, whether pursuant to a change in

The Parties shall confer promptly and determine a schedule for commencing
negotiations within fifteen (15) days of the notice. Each Party is hereby
authorized to designate the person responsible for conducting the negotiations,
and shall execute any documents necessary to confirm such authorization. The
purpose of the negotiations will be to attempt to renegotiate the provisions of this
MOU in good faith so that the Parties retain substantially the same rights, levels
of mitigation, and community benefits contemplated as of the date of this MOU.
If, the Parties are unable to agree upon the dollar amounts necessary to maintain
substantial mitigation of impacts and a comparable level of community
investments within one hundred and eighty (180) days of commencing
Fundamental Changes Renegotiations, the Parties may trigger the dispute
resolution provisions contained in Section I 1.
Notwithstanding any provision of California law to the contrary, if any provision
of this MOU is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future
laws, such provision shall be fully severable, this MOU shall be construed and
enforced as if such void, illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never
comprised a part of this MOU, and the remaining provisions of this MOU shall
remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the void, illegal,
invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this MOU. Similarly,
notwithstanding any provision of California, Federal or Tribal law to the contrary,
if any provision of this MOU requires the City, Tribe, or any other Public Entity
to take any action which has not been taken in connection with the approval of
this MOU or otherwise, or subjects this MOU to the referendum or initiative
process under California law, this MOU shall be construed and enforced as if such
provision had never comprised a part of this MOU, and the remaining provisions
of this MOU shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the
applicable provision or by its severance from this MOU. In the event that the
entire MOU is declared void, illegal, invalid, unenforceable or unauthorized, the
Parties shall enter into good faith negotiations to negotiate a new agreement that
maintains the expectation of each Party in entering into this MOU. If any of the
events referenced in this section occurs, the Parties shall endeavor in good faith
negotiations to replace the applicable provision or provisions with a substitute
provision, the economic and other effects of which comes as close as possible to
that of the provision which has been severed. Such negotiations shall be
conducted pursuant to the provisions of section 9(b) of this MOU.

special, incidental, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, lost profits or
attorney's fees. The Parties agree not to assert any claim for damages, injunctive,

14.8 ENVIRONMENTALREVIEW
14.8.1 Pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., titl. 14, Section
15378, subd. (b)(a)), this MOU does not constitute a "project" for CEQA
purposes because it involves the creation of a goveffrment funding
mechanism or other government fiscal activities, which do not involve any
commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially
significant physical impact on the environment. This MOU requires the
Tribe to make mitigation payments for identified mitigation measures and
programs; however, the City retains discretion to elect not to implement
any or all of the specif,rc mitigation measures and programs identified in
this MOU. Further this MOU does not obligate the City to undertake a
specified mitigation program or construction project nor does it set a time
for development.
14.8.2 The Parties acknowledge and agree that this MOU is not intended to be
and does not constitute a development agreement for the purposes of
Government Code section 65865. Nor does this MOU commit the City to
implement any public improvement, or to take any action that may result
in physical changes in the environment.
14.8.3 The Parties acknowledge that the EIS andlor Record of Decision evaluated
the impacts of the Project and provided for the mitigation thereof.
14.8.4 The Parties acknowledge and agree that: (i) the Tribe is not a public
agency subject to CEQA; (ii) the Project is not subject to CEQA or to City
environmental review, design, land use or land development ordinances,
plans, manuals or standards; (iii) the City does not have legal authority to
deliberate o[, approve, disapprove, or otherwise exercise judgment
regarding the Project; and (iv) the City is not deliberating on, approving,
disapproving or otherwise exercising judgment regarding the Project by
entering this MOU.
14.8.5 Government Code $ 12012.56(bX1XC) is a statutory CEQA exemption
adopted with specific reference to this Project and the mitigation of its off-
OAK #4821-1906-1267 v4 25

site impacts. That Section states that in deference to tribal sovereignty, the
execution of an intergovernmental agreement between a tribe and a county
or city government negotiated pursuant to the express authority of, or as
expressly referenced in, the Compact shall not be deemed a project for
purposes of CEQA. This MOU is an intergovemmental agreement, made
pursuant to Sections 4.4 and 1 1.8.7 of the Compact, between the Tribe and
the City negotiated pursuant to the Compact and, therefore, execution of
this MOU is not subject to CEQA. Subsections (aXl)-(a) and (c) of
Section I1.8.7 of the Compact require the City and the Tribe to enter into
enforceable intergovernmental agreements to timely mitigate, through
compensation or other means, any significant effect of the Project on the
environment, which were attributable in whole or in part to the Project.
By expressly declaring intergovernmental agreements made under the
Compact to not be a "project" for CEQA purposes, and by expressly
acknowledging the need for an intergovernmental agreement to mitigate
impacts in the Compact, the Legislature expressly exempted mitigation
agreements such as this MOU from compliance with CEQA.
14.8.6 To the extent that the City is required to comply with CEQA with respect
to any improvements, programs or activities identified in or related to this
MOU, the City will comply with CEQA prior to approving or
implementing such improvements, programs or activities. This MOU
does not restrict the City's discretion to evaluate the impacts of such
improvement, programs or activities, identify and adopt mitigation for
such impacts, consider and approve alternatives designed to lessen such
impacts, or deny approvals necessary for such improvement, programs or
activities.
14.9 AmnNowrnNrs. This MOU may be modified or amended only by mutual and
written agreement of the Parties.
Rpvrnw By rHE DBp¡,ntunNT oF INrBRron. The Tribe shall submit this MOU
to the United States Department of the Interior for either: (a) approval pursuant to
25 U.S.C. $ 81; or (b) a written response that this MOU does not require approval
under 25 U.S.C. $ 81. The Tribe shall undertake reasonable efforts, in
consultation with the City, to secure approval or written response. The City, at its
sole discretion, has the right to withdraw its support for the MOU if it is not
submitted to the Department of the Interior pursuant to this section within ten (10)
days following the Effective Date. If the Department of Interior determines that
portions of this MOU violate 25 U.S.C. $ 81 or are otherwise invalid, the
severability provisions set forth in section 10 of this MOU shall govern.

ITEM NO. 6C4
OAK #4815‐1642‐4776 v1 1
Meeting Date: May 23, 2017
Department: Administration
Submitted By: Darrin Jenkins, City Manager
Prepared By: Leonardo Tacata, Senior Analyst
Agenda Title: Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Memorandum of
Understanding with Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District to
Distribute Community Investment Recurring Contributions from the
Graton Mitigation Fund
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Consider for approval and authorize by resolution the execution
of a memorandum of understanding with the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District to
distribute recurring donations from the Graton Mitigation Fund.
BACKGROUND: On April 17, 2013, the City approved the First Amended and Restated
Memorandum of Understanding by and between the City of Rohnert Park and the Federated
Indians of Graton Rancheria (MOU) with the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria (“Tribe”) to
facilitate the mitigation of impacts resulting from the Graton Resort and Casino. As an
intergovernmental agreement, the MOU provides that the Tribe, through the Graton Mitigation
Fund, designates contributions to the City for certain purposes. One of these purposes is the
“Community Investment Recurring Contribution,” a part of which is a quarterly “School
Contribution” recurring charitable contribution to the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School
District (“CRPUSD”). It is important to note that a quarterly School Contribution is only paid if
there are sufficient funds remaining in the Graton Mitigation Fund after guaranteed obligations
to the City and County of Sonoma have been met. Although not guaranteed, the District is
expected to receive approximately $270,000 per quarter, through the end of the term of the
MOU, which is December 31, 2033, or the date the Tribal-State Compact or any extension
expires, whichever is later. The amount of the contribution will be adjusted by the Consumer
Price Index on an annual basis.
SUMMARY: The Tribe will not make the Community Investment Recurring Contribution
payments directly to the CRPUSD. Pursuant to the “Tribal-State Compact between the State of
California and the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria” executed on or about March 27, 2012,
which established the Graton Mitigation Fund, the Tribe makes payments to the State, which
administers the Graton Mitigation Fund. The State makes payments to the City, which has
established an account whereby Community Investment/ School Recurring Contribution revenue
will be deposited and subsequently distributed to CRPUSD. The City has been informed that it
may receive its first quarterly Community Investment Contribution in the fourth fiscal quarter of
FY 2016-17 (June).
The MOU determines that the use of the School Contribution funds will be governed by an ad
hoc committee which will consist of two members designated by CRPUSD, two members

“We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a
Better Community for Today and Tomorrow.”

designated by the Tribe, and one member chosen by the other four members. CRPUSD will
administer the ad hoc committee meetings and the accounting of all School Contribution funds
received. City fulfills its obligation to the MOU by distributing the designated quarterly School
Contributions to CRPUSD.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: D: Continue to develop a vibrant community.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
(1) Option 1: Adopt the resolution to authorize the City Manager to execute the
Memorandum of Understanding with Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District to
distribute recurring School Contribution contributions from the Graton Mitigation Fund
to CRPUSD. This is the recommended option.
(2) Option 2: Transfer the recurring School Contribution funds to CRPUSD without an
agreement. This would be a more informal method of administering the contribution
designated for CRPUSD, and would assume that each party understands its roles and
responsibilities in the maintenance and use of these funds.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE: The net fiscal impact of the proposed Memorandum
of Understanding is zero ($0) dollars. The full amount of every contribution made to the
CRPUSD is offset by the same amount provided by the Graton Mitigation Fund contribution to
the City. The funding source is the Graton Mitigation Fund which is administered by the State of
California.

14.8 ENVIRONMENTALREVIEW
14.8.1 Pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., titl. 14, Section
15378, subd. (b)(a)), this MOU does not constitute a "project" for CEQA
purposes because it involves the creation of a goveffrment funding
mechanism or other government fiscal activities, which do not involve any
commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially
significant physical impact on the environment. This MOU requires the
Tribe to make mitigation payments for identified mitigation measures and
programs; however, the City retains discretion to elect not to implement
any or all of the specif,rc mitigation measures and programs identified in
this MOU. Further this MOU does not obligate the City to undertake a
specified mitigation program or construction project nor does it set a time
for development.
14.8.2 The Parties acknowledge and agree that this MOU is not intended to be
and does not constitute a development agreement for the purposes of
Government Code section 65865. Nor does this MOU commit the City to
implement any public improvement, or to take any action that may result
in physical changes in the environment.
14.8.3 The Parties acknowledge that the EIS andlor Record of Decision evaluated
the impacts of the Project and provided for the mitigation thereof.
14.8.4 The Parties acknowledge and agree that: (i) the Tribe is not a public
agency subject to CEQA; (ii) the Project is not subject to CEQA or to City
environmental review, design, land use or land development ordinances,
plans, manuals or standards; (iii) the City does not have legal authority to
deliberate o[, approve, disapprove, or otherwise exercise judgment
regarding the Project; and (iv) the City is not deliberating on, approving,
disapproving or otherwise exercising judgment regarding the Project by
entering this MOU.
14.8.5 Government Code $ 12012.56(bX1XC) is a statutory CEQA exemption
adopted with specific reference to this Project and the mitigation of its off-

site impacts. That Section states that in deference to tribal sovereignty, the
execution of an intergovernmental agreement between a tribe and a county
or city government negotiated pursuant to the express authority of, or as
expressly referenced in, the Compact shall not be deemed a project for
purposes of CEQA. This MOU is an intergovemmental agreement, made
pursuant to Sections 4.4 and 1 1.8.7 of the Compact, between the Tribe and
the City negotiated pursuant to the Compact and, therefore, execution of
this MOU is not subject to CEQA. Subsections (aXl)-(a) and (c) of
Section I1.8.7 of the Compact require the City and the Tribe to enter into
enforceable intergovernmental agreements to timely mitigate, through
compensation or other means, any significant effect of the Project on the
environment, which were attributable in whole or in part to the Project.
By expressly declaring intergovernmental agreements made under the
Compact to not be a "project" for CEQA purposes, and by expressly
acknowledging the need for an intergovernmental agreement to mitigate
impacts in the Compact, the Legislature expressly exempted mitigation
agreements such as this MOU from compliance with CEQA.
14.8.6 To the extent that the City is required to comply with CEQA with respect
to any improvements, programs or activities identified in or related to this
MOU, the City will comply with CEQA prior to approving or
implementing such improvements, programs or activities. This MOU
does not restrict the City's discretion to evaluate the impacts of such
improvement, programs or activities, identify and adopt mitigation for
such impacts, consider and approve alternatives designed to lessen such
impacts, or deny approvals necessary for such improvement, programs or
activities.
14.9 AmnNowrnNrs. This MOU may be modified or amended only by mutual and
written agreement of the Parties.
Rpvrnw By rHE DBp¡,ntunNT oF INrBRron. The Tribe shall submit this MOU
to the United States Department of the Interior for either: (a) approval pursuant to
25 U.S.C. $ 81; or (b) a written response that this MOU does not require approval
under 25 U.S.C. $ 81. The Tribe shall undertake reasonable efforts, in
consultation with the City, to secure approval or written response. The City, at its
sole discretion, has the right to withdraw its support for the MOU if it is not
submitted to the Department of the Interior pursuant to this section within ten (10)
days following the Effective Date. If the Department of Interior determines that
portions of this MOU violate 25 U.S.C. $ 81 or are otherwise invalid, the
severability provisions set forth in section 10 of this MOU shall govern.

Meeting Date: May 23, 2017
Department: Public Works & Community Services
Submitted By: John McArthur, Public Works & Community Services Director
Prepared By: Angie Smith, Purchasing Agent
Agenda Title: Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Professional Services
Agreement for Water Quality Analytical Services with Alpha Analytical
Laboratories Inc. for a not to exceed contract amount of $175,000
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Professional Services Agreement for Water Quality
Analytical Services with Alpha Analytical Laboratories Inc. for a not to exceed contract amount
of $175,000
BACKGROUND:
The City is mandated to frequently sample and test for a wide variety of constituents in the
potable water and storm water systems. The City does not have the capability to perform the
required water chemistry analysis and has historically utilized an external professional laboratory
services firm to perform this mandated service.
The City’s current laboratory services agreement has expired and is contracting this service on a
month to month basis. Due to the ongoing need for water laboratory analysis, a new agreement
for laboratory services is needed. On February 15, 2017, staff prepared and issued a Request for
Proposals (RFP) to seek qualified professional laboratory services. On March 1, 2017, proposals
from three laboratory service firms were received.
ANALYSIS:
The RFP contains four categories for evaluating submittals including: 1) professional
qualifications, 2) laboratory procedural testing methods, 3) site visits by City staff, and 4) fees.
Staff performed site visits for all three proposals received. Upon evaluating the proposals, based
upon the criteria in the RFP, staff determined that Alpha Analytical Laboratories Inc., (Alpha) is
the most qualified firm to perform laboratory services for the City. Alpha has many years of
experience performing similar services for neighboring cities and districts, has the most qualified
staff, and submitted the lowest costs in their proposal
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
Option 1: The proposed agreement is for three years with two possible one (1) year
extensions. The annual estimated cost would be $55,000 and the total agreement cost over three
years would not exceed $175,000. Entering into a long-term laboratory services professional

agreement provides needed continuity for mandatory testing programs that span multiple fiscal
years. Staff recommend this option
Option 2: A shorter term agreement could be used to fulfill the City’s laboratory services
needs. However, this approach would be administratively burdensome and could create a gap in
service which could risk violation of a mandate. Staff does not recommend this option.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
This action is consistent with the following Strategic Plan Goals: GOAL C: Ensure the effective
delivery of public services.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
Sufficient Funding is included in the current Water, and Storm Water operating budgets.
Funding for laboratory services will need to be included in future year’s operating budgets.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
ANALYTICAL LABORATORY SERVICES
THIS AGREEMENT, is entered into as of the 23rd day of May, 2017, by and between the City of
Rohnert Park, hereinafter called "City", a California municipal corporation, and Alpha Analytical
Laboratories, Inc., hereinafter called “Professional”.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, City desires to obtain Analytical Laboratory Services to meet all State and
Federal regulations, and
WHEREAS, Professional hereby represents to the City that Professional is skilled and able
to provide such services described in Section 1 of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, City desires to retain Professional pursuant to this Agreement to provide the
services described in Section 1 of this Agreement.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Scope of Services. Subject to such policy direction and approvals as the City may
determine from time to time, Professional shall perform the services set out in the “Scope of
Services and Sampling Schedule” attached hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit B.
2. Time of Performance. The services of Professional are to commence upon receipt
of a written notice to proceed from City, but in no event prior to receiving a fully executed
agreement from City and obtaining and delivering the required insurance coverage, and
satisfactory evidence thereof, to City. Professional shall perform its services in accordance with
the schedule set out in the “Scope of Services and Sampling Schedule” attached hereto as Exhibit
A and Exhibit B. Any changes to the dates in this Section, Exhibit A or Exhibit B must be
approved in writing by the City.
3. Compensation and Method of Payment.
A. Compensation. The compensation to be paid to Professional, including both
payment for professional services and reimbursable expenses, shall be at the rate and schedules
attached hereto as Exhibit C. However, in no event shall the amount City pays Professional exceed
one hundred seventy five thousand dollars ($175,000) for the three year term of the contract.
Payment by City under this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of unsatisfactory work, even
if such defects were known to the City at the time of payment.
B. Timing of Payment.
(1) Professional shall submit itemized monthly invoices for work
performed. City shall make payment, in full, within thirty (30) days
after approval of the invoice by City.
(2) Payments due and payable to Professional for current services must
be within the current budget and within an available, unexhausted
and unencumbered appropriation of the City. In the event the City
has not appropriated sufficient funds for payment of Professional
services beyond the current fiscal year, this Agreement shall cover
only those costs incurred up to the conclusion of the current fiscal
year; payment for additional work is conditional upon future City
appropriation.
C. Changes in Compensation. Professional will not undertake any work that
will incur costs in excess of the amount set forth in Section 3(A) without prior written amendment
to this Agreement.
D. Standard of Quality. City relies upon the professional ability of
Professional as a material inducement to entering into this Agreement. All work performed by
Professional under this Agreement shall be in accordance with all applicable legal requirements
and shall meet the standard of quality ordinarily to be expected of competent professionals in
Professional’s field of expertise.
E. Taxes. Professional shall pay all taxes, assessments and premiums under
the federal Social Security Act, any applicable unemployment insurance contributions, Workers
Compensation insurance premiums, sales taxes, use taxes, personal property taxes, or other taxes
or assessments now or hereafter in effect and payable by reason of or in connection with the
services to be performed by Professional.
F. No Overtime or Premium Pay. Professional shall receive no premium or
enhanced pay for work normally understood as overtime, i.e., hours that exceed forty (40) hours
per work week, or work performed during non-standard business hours, such as in the evenings or
on weekends, unless specifically required by the applicable task order and authorized by City in
writing. Professional shall not receive a premium or enhanced pay for work performed on a
recognized holiday. Professional shall not receive paid time off for days not worked, whether it
be in the form of sick leave, administrative leave, or for any other form of absence.
G. Litigation Support. Professional agrees to testify at City’s request if
litigation is brought against City in connection with Professional’s report. Unless the action is
brought by Professional or is based upon Professional’s negligence, City will compensate
Professional for the preparation and the testimony at Professional’s standard hourly rates, if
requested by City and not part of the litigation brought by City against Professional.
4. Amendment to Scope of Work. City shall have the right to amend the Scope of
Work within the Agreement by written notification to the Professional. In such event, the
compensation and time of performance shall be subject to renegotiation upon written demand of
either party to the Agreement. Failure of the Professional to secure City's written authorization
for extra or changed work shall constitute a waiver of any and all right to adjustment in the contract
price or time due, whether by way of compensation, restitution, quantum meruit, etc. for work
done without the appropriate City authorization.
5. Duties of City. City shall provide all information requested by Professional that is
reasonably necessary to performing the Scope of Work. City retains all rights of approval and
discretion with respect to the projects and undertakings contemplated by this Agreement.
6. Ownership of Documents.
A. The plans, specifications, estimates, programs, reports, models, and other
material prepared by or on behalf of Professional under this Agreement including all drafts and
working documents, and including electronic and paper forms (collectively the “Documents”),
shall be and remain the property of the City, whether the Services are completed or not.
Professional shall deliver all Documents to City, upon request at (1) the completion of the Services,
(2) the date of termination of this Agreement for any reason, or (3) request by City in writing, or
(4) payment of all monies due to Professional.
B. The Documents may be used by City and its officers, elected officials,
employees, agents, and volunteers, and assigns, in whole or in part, or in modified form, for all
purposes City may deem advisable without further employment of or payment of any
compensation to Professional. If City desires to modify Documents before using them, City shall
obtain written consent from Professional for any such modification, and such consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld. If City modifies Documents without obtaining written consent from
Professional, Professional shall not be liable to City for any damages resulting from use of such
modified Documents, provided that the Professional was not a proximate cause of such damages.
C. Professional retains the copyright in and to the intellectual property depicted
in the Documents subject to Professional’s limitations and City’s rights and licenses set forth in
this Agreement. City’s ownership interest in the Documents includes the following single,
exclusive license from Professional: Professional, for itself, its employees, heirs, successors and
assigns, hereby grants (and if any subsequent grant is necessary, agrees to grant) to City an
irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, fully paid, sole and exclusive license and right to use and
exercise any and all of the copyrights or other intellectual property rights that Professional may
author or create, alone or jointly with others, in or with respect to the Documents, including without
limitation all analysis, reports, designs and graphic representations. City’s license shall include the
right to sublicense, shall be for all purposes with respect to each right of copyright, and shall be
without restriction.
D. Professional shall include in all subcontracts and agreements with respect
to the Services that Professional negotiates, language which is consistent with this Section 6.
E. All reports, information, data, and exhibits prepared or assembled by
Professional in connection with the performance of its Services pursuant to this Agreement are
confidential until released by the City to the public, and the Professional shall not make any of
these documents or information available to any individual or organization not employed by the
Professional or the City without the written consent of the City before any such release. This
provision shall not apply to information that (1) is already in the public domain, (2) was previously
known by Professional, (3) Professional is required to provide by law, or (4) reasonably required
by Professional to conduct its defense in a legal or similar proceeding, so long as Professional
notifies City in writing before use of such information.
7. Employment of Other Professionals, Specialists or Experts.
A. Professional will not employ or otherwise incur an obligation to pay other
consultants, specialists or experts for services in connection with this Agreement without the prior
written approval of the City. Any consultants, specialists or experts approved by City are listed in
Exhibit D.
B. Professional represents that it has, or will secure at its own expense, all
personnel required in performing the Services. All of the Services required hereunder will be
performed by the Professional or under Professional’s supervision, and all personnel engaged in
the work shall be qualified to perform such services.
C. Professional shall make every reasonable effort to maintain stability and
continuity of Professional's Key Personnel assigned to perform the Services. Key Personnel for
this contract are listed in Exhibit D.
D. Professional shall provide City with a minimum twenty (20) days prior
written notice of any changes in Professional’s Key Personnel, provided that Professional receives
such notice, and shall not replace any Key Personnel with anyone to whom the City has a
reasonable objection.
E. Professional plans to retain the sub-consultants listed in Exhibit D, who will
provide services as indicated in Exhibit D.
F. Professional will not utilize sub-consultants other than those listed in
Exhibit D without advance written notice to the City. Professional will not utilize a sub-consultant
to whom the City has a reasonable objection. Sub-consultants providing professional services will
provide professional liability insurance as required in Exhibit C unless the City waives this
requirement, in writing.
8. Conflict of Interest.
A. Professional understands that its professional responsibility is solely to City.
Professional warrants that it presently has no interest, and will not acquire any direct or indirect
interest, that would conflict with its performance of this Agreement. Professional shall not
knowingly, and shall take reasonable steps to ensure that it does not, employ a person having such
an interest in the performance of this Agreement. If Professional discovers that it has employed a
person with a direct or indirect interest that would conflict with its performance of this Agreement,
Professional shall promptly disclose the relationship to the City and take such action as the City
may direct to remedy the conflict.
B. Professional (including principals, associates and professional employees)
covenants and represents that it does not now have any investment or interest in real property and
shall not acquire any interest, direct or indirect, in the area covered by this contract or any other
source of income, interest in real property or investment which would be affected in any manner
or degree by the performance of Professional's Services hereunder. Professional further covenants
and represents that in the performance of its duties hereunder no person having any such interest
shall perform any services under this Agreement.
C. Professional is not a designated employee within the meaning of the
Political Reform Act because Professional:
(1) Will conduct research and arrive at conclusions with respect to
his/her rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel independent of the control
and direction of the City or of any City official other than normal contract monitoring; and
(2) Possesses no authority with respect to any City decision beyond the
rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel (FPPC Reg. 18700(a) (2)).
9. Interest of Members and Employees of City. No member of the City and no other
officer, elected official, employee, agent or volunteer of the City who exercises any functions or
responsibilities in connection with the carrying out of any project to which this Agreement
pertains, shall have any personal interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement, nor shall any such
person participate in any decision relating to this Agreement which affects its personal interests or
the interest of any corporation, partnership or association in which he/she is directly or indirectly
interested.
10. Liability of Members and Employees of City. No member of the City and no other
officer, elected official, employee, agent or volunteer of the City shall be personally liable to
Professional or otherwise in the event of any default or breach of the City, or for any amount which
may become due to Professional or any successor in interest, or for any obligations directly or
indirectly incurred under the terms of this Agreement.
11. Indemnity.
A. To the fullest extent permitted by law (including, without limitation,
California Civil Code Sections 2782 and 2782.8), Professional shall defend (with legal counsel
reasonably acceptable to City), indemnify, and hold harmless City and its officers, elected officials,
employees, agents, and volunteers (collectively "Indemnitees") from and against any and all
claims, loss, cost, damage, injury (including, without limitation, injury to or death of an employee
of Professional or its sub-consultants), expense and liability of every kind, nature and description
(including, without limitation, fines, penalties, incidental and consequential damages, reasonable
court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, litigation expenses and fees of expert consultants or
expert witnesses incurred in connection therewith, and costs of investigation), that arise out of,
pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Professional, any sub-
consultant, anyone directly or indirectly employed by them, or anyone that they control
(collectively "Liabilities"). Such negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct includes without
limitation the failure of Professional to disclose information known by Professional to be material
to performing the Services. Such obligations to defend, hold harmless and indemnify any
Indemnitee shall not apply to the extent that such Liabilities are caused by the negligence, active
negligence, or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the extent of Professional's obligation to defend, indemnify, and hold
harmless shall be governed by the provisions of California Civil Code Section 2782.8.
B. Neither termination of this Agreement nor completion of the Services shall
release Professional from its obligations under this Section 11, as long as the event giving rise to
the claim, loss, cost, damage, injury, expense or liability occurred prior to the effective date of any
such termination or completion.
C. Professional agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with
provisions identical to those set forth in this section from each and every sub-consultant or any
other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Professional in the performance of this
Agreement. If Professional fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required,
Professional shall be fully responsible for all obligations under this Section. City's failure to
monitor compliance with this requirement imposes no additional obligations on City and will in
no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. The obligation to indemnify and defend City as
set forth herein is binding on the successors, assigns or heirs of Professional and shall survive the
termination of this Agreement or this section.
D. Professional's compliance with the insurance requirements does not relieve
Professional from the obligations described in this Section 11, which shall apply whether or not
such insurance policies are applicable to a claim and/or damages.
12. Professional Not an Agent of City. Professional, its officers, employees and agents
shall not have any power to bind or commit the City to any decision.
13. Independent Contractor. It is understood that Professional, in the performance of
the work and services agreed to be performed by Professional, shall act as and be an independent
contractor as defined in Labor Code 3353 and not an agent or employee of City; and as an
independent contractor, Professional shall obtain no rights to retirement benefits or other benefits
which accrue to City’s employees, and Professional hereby expressly waives any claim it may
have to any such rights.
14. Compliance with Laws.
A. General. Professional shall (and shall cause its agents and subcontractors),
at its sole cost and expense, comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, codes,
ordinances and regulations now in force or which may hereafter be in force during the term of this
agreement. Except as otherwise allowed by City in its sole discretion, Professional and all sub-
consultants shall have acquired, at their expense, a business license from City in accordance with
Chapter 5.04 of the Rohnert Park Municipal Code prior to City's issuance of an authorization to
proceed with the Services. Such license(s) must be kept valid throughout the term of this
Agreement. Any corrections to Professional's reports or other Documents (as defined in Section
6) that become necessary as a result of Professional's failure to comply with these requirements
shall be made at the Professional's expense.
B. Updates. Should Professional become aware that the requirements
referenced in subparagraph (A) above change after the date of a report or other Document is
prepared, Professional shall be responsible for notifying City of such change in requirements.
Professional will bring the Documents into conformance with the newly issued requirements at
the written direction of City. Professional’s costs for providing services pursuant to this paragraph
shall be submitted to City as Additional Services.
C. Licenses and Permits. Professional represents that it has the skills,
expertise, licenses and permits necessary to perform the Services. Professional shall perform all
such Services in the manner and according to the standards observed by a competent practitioner
of the same profession in which Professional is engaged. All products of whatsoever nature which
Professional delivers to City pursuant to this Agreement shall conform to the standards of quality
normally observed by a person practicing in Professional’s profession. Permits and/or licenses
shall be obtained and maintained by Professional without additional compensation throughout the
term of this Agreement.
D. Documents Stamped. Professional shall have documents created as part of
the Services to be performed under this Agreement stamped by registered professionals for the
disciplines covered by Professional's Documents as required by Section 6735 of the Business and
Professionals Code or any other applicable law or regulation. Professional shall not be required
to stamp any documents not prepared under its direct supervision. The City will not be charged
an additional fee to have such documents stamped.
E. Workers' Compensation. Professional certifies that it is aware of the
provisions of the California Labor Code which require every employee to be insured against
liability for workers' compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the
provisions of that Code, and Professional certifies that it will comply with such provisions before
commencing performance of this Agreement.
F. Prevailing Wage. Professional and Professional's sub-consultants, shall, to
the extent required by the California Labor Code, pay not less than the latest prevailing wage rates
to workers and professionals as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations of the State of
California pursuant to California Labor Code, Part 7, Chapter 1, Article 2. Copies of the applicable
wage determination are on file at City Clerk's office. This provision to comply with prevailing
wage laws takes precedence over the provisions of paragraph 3.E.
G. Injury and Illness Prevention Program. Professional certifies that it is aware
of and has complied with the provisions of California Labor Code Section 6401.7, which requires
every employer to adopt a written injury and illness prevention program.
H. City Not Responsible. City is not responsible or liable for Professional's
failure to comply with any and all of the requirements set forth in this Agreement.
15. Nonexclusive Agreement. Professional understands that this is not an exclusive
Agreement and that City shall have the right to negotiate with and enter into contracts with others
providing the same or similar services as those provided by Professional as the City desires.
16. Confidential Information. All data, documents, discussions or other information
developed or received by or for Professional in performance of this Agreement are confidential
and not to be disclosed to any person except as authorized by City, as required by law, or as
otherwise allowed by this Agreement.
17. Insurance. Professional shall provide insurance in accordance with the
requirements of Exhibit D.
18. Assignment Prohibited. Professional shall not assign any of its rights nor transfer
any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of City and any
attempt to so assign or so transfer without such consent shall be void and without legal effect and
shall constitute grounds for termination.
19. Termination.
A. If Professional at any time refuses or neglects to prosecute its Services in a
timely fashion or in accordance with the schedule, or is adjudicated a bankrupt, or commits any
act of insolvency, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors without City's consent, or
fails to make prompt payment to persons furnishing labor, equipment, materials or services, or
fails in any respect to properly and diligently prosecute its Services, or otherwise fails to perform
fully any and all of the agreements herein contained, Professional shall be in default.
B. If Professional fails to cure the default within seven (7) days after written
notice thereof, City may, at its sole option, take possession of any Documents or other materials
(in paper and electronic form) prepared or used by Professional and (1) provide any such work,
labor, materials or services as may be necessary to overcome the default and deduct the cost thereof
from any money then due or thereafter to become due to Professional under this Agreement; and/or
(2) terminate Professional's right to proceed with this Agreement.
C. In the event City elects to terminate, City shall have the right to immediate
possession of all Documents and work in progress prepared by Professional, whether located at
Professional's place of business, or at the offices of a sub-consultant, and may employ any other
person or persons to finish the Services and provide the materials therefor. In case of such default
termination, Professional shall not be entitled to receive any further payment under this Agreement
until the Services are completely finished.
D. In addition to the foregoing right to terminate for default, City reserves the
absolute right to terminate this Agreement without cause, upon 72-hours' written notice to
Professional. In the event of termination without cause, Professional shall be entitled to payment
in an amount not to exceed the Not-To-Exceed Amount which shall be calculated as follows: (1)
Payment for Services then satisfactorily completed and accepted by City, plus (2) Payment for
Additional Services satisfactorily completed and accepted by City, plus (3) Reimbursable
Expenses actually incurred by Professional, as approved by City. The amount of any payment
made to Professional prior to the date of termination of this Agreement shall be deducted from the
amounts described in (1), (2) and (3) above. Professional shall not be entitled to any claim or lien
against City for any additional compensation or damages in the event of such termination and
payment. In addition, the City's right to withhold funds under Section 19.C. shall be applicable in
the event of a termination for convenience.
E. If this Agreement is terminated by City for default and it is later determined
that the default termination was wrongful, such termination automatically shall be converted to
and treated as a Termination for Convenience under this Section 19 and Professional shall be
entitled to receive only the amounts payable under Section 19.D.
20. Suspension. The City shall have the authority to suspend this Agreement and the
services contemplated herein, wholly or in part, for such period as he/she deems necessary due to
unfavorable conditions or to the failure on the part of the Professional to perform any provision of
this Agreement. Professional will be paid for satisfactory Services performed through the date of
temporary suspension. In the event that Professional's services hereunder are delayed for a period
in excess of six (6) months due to causes beyond Professional's reasonable control, Professional's
compensation shall be subject to renegotiation.
21. Entire Agreement and Amendment. This Agreement constitutes the complete and
exclusive statement of the agreement between City and Professional and supersedes any previous
agreements, whether verbal or written, concerning the same subject matter. This Agreement may
only be amended or extended from time to time by written agreement of the parties hereto.
22. Interpretation. This Agreement shall be interpreted as though it was a product of a
joint drafting effort and no provisions shall be interpreted against a party on the ground that said party
was solely or primarily responsible for drafting the language to be interpreted.
23. Litigation Costs. If either party becomes involved in litigation arising out of this
Agreement or the performance thereof, the court in such litigation shall award reasonable costs
and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, to the prevailing party. In awarding attorneys’ fees, the
court will not be bound by any court fee schedule, but shall, if it is in the interest of justice to do
so, award the full amount of costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees paid or incurred in good faith.
24. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
25. Written Notification. Any notice, demand, request, consent, approval or
communication that either party desires or is required to give to the other party shall be in writing
and either served personally or sent by prepaid, first class mail. Any such notice, demand, etc.
shall be addressed to the other party at the address set forth herein below. Either party may change
its address by notifying the other party of the change of address. Notice shall be deemed
communicated within 48 hours from the time of mailing if mailed as provided in this section.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS TO AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
ANALYTICAL LABORATORY SERVICES
Professional shall, at all times it is performing services under this Agreement, provide and maintain
insurance in the following types and with limits in conformance with the requirements set forth
below. Professional will use existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing
coverage does not meet the requirements set forth here, Professional agrees to amend, supplement
or endorse the existing coverage to do so. Professional acknowledges that the insurance coverage
and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amount of coverage required.
Any insurance proceeds available to Professional in excess of the limits and coverage required in
this agreement and that is applicable to a given loss will be available to City.
1. Commercial General Liability Insurance, occurrence form, using Insurance
Services Office ("ISO") "Commercial General Liability" policy form CG 00 01 or an approved
equivalent. Defense costs must be paid in addition to limits. There shall be no cross liability
exclusion for claims or suits by one insured against another. Limits are subject to review, but in
no event shall be less than $2,000,000 (Two Million Dollars) each occurrence;
2. Business Auto Coverage on ISO Business Automobile Coverage form CA 00 01
including symbol 1 (Any Auto) or an approved equivalent. Limits are subject to review, but in no
event shall be less than $2,000,000 (Two Million Dollars) each occurrence. If Professional or its
employees will use personal autos in any way in connection with performance of the Services,
Professional shall provide evidence of personal auto liability coverage for each such person.
3. Workers Compensation on a state-approved policy form providing statutory
benefits as required by law with employers liability insurance, with minimum limits of $1,000,000
(One Million Dollars) per occurrence.
4. Excess or Umbrella Liability Insurance (Over Primary) if used to meet limit
requirements shall provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying coverages.
Any such coverage provided under an umbrella liability policy shall include a drop down provision
providing primary coverage above a maximum self-insured retention for liability not covered by
primary but covered by the umbrella. Coverage shall be provided on a "pay on behalf of" basis,
with defense costs payable in addition to policy limits. Policy shall contain a provision obligating
insurer at the time insured's liability is determined, not requiring actual payment by insured first.
There shall be no cross-liability exclusion precluding coverage for claims or suits by one insured
against another. Coverage shall be applicable to City for injury to employees of Professional, sub-
consultant or others involved in performance of the Services. The scope of coverage provided is
subject to approval of City following receipt of proof of insurance as required herein. Limits are
subject to review but in no event less than $2,000,000 (Two Million Dollars) per occurrence.
5. Professional Liability or Errors and Omissions Insurance as appropriate shall be
written on a policy form coverage specifically designed to protect against acts, errors or omissions
of the Professional and "Covered Professional Services" as designated in the policy must include
the type of work performed under this Agreement. The policy limit shall be no less than
$2,000,000 (Two Million Dollars) per claim and in the aggregate.
6. Insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers that
are authorized to transact the relevant type of insurance business in the State of California and with
an A.M. Best rating of A- or better and a minimum financial size VII.
7. General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Professional.
Professional and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Professional:
A. Professional agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general
liability coverage required herein to include as additional insureds the City, its officers, elected
officials, employees, agents, and volunteers, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010 with
an edition prior to 1992, or an equivalent. Professional also agrees to require all contractors, and
subcontractors to do likewise.
B. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement,
except the Business Auto Coverage policy, shall prohibit Professional, or Professional's
employees, or agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Professional agrees to
waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds,
and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
C. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Professional and available or
applicable to this Agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing
contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its operations limits the
application of such insurance coverage.
D. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these
requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted
to City and approved of in writing.
E. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve
to eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims, including any exclusion for bodily injury
to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor.
F. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification
and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises, and City shall be responsible for the
cost of any additional insurance required. Professional shall not make any reductions in scope of
coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect
City's protection without City's prior written consent.
G. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of
certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured
endorsement to Professional's general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or prior to the
execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required,
or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided,
City may terminate this agreement in accordance with Section 19 of the Agreement.
H. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 day notice to City
of any cancellation of coverage. Professional agrees to require its insurer to modify such
certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written
notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will "endeavor" (as opposed to being
required) to comply with the requirements of the certificate.
I. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance
coverage required to be provided by Professional or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first
and on a primary, noncontributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self-insurance
available to City.
J. Professional agrees to ensure that sub-consultant, and any other party
involved with the Services who is brought onto or involved in the Services by Professional, provide
the same minimum insurance coverage required of Professional; provided, however that only sub-
consultant performing professional services will be required to provide professional liability
insurance. Professional agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all
responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of
this section. Professional agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others
engaged in the Services will be submitted to City for review.
K. Professional agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions
or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not
allow any contractor, subcontractor, architect, consultant or other entity or person in any way
involved in the performance of work on the Services contemplated by this agreement to self-insure
its obligations to City. If Professional's existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured
retention, the deductible or self-insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the
City shall review options with the Professional, which may include reduction or elimination of the
deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.
L. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to
change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Professional ninety (90) days
advance written notice of such change. If such change results in additional cost to the Professional,
and the City requires Professional to obtain the additional coverage, the City will pay Professional
the additional cost of the insurance.
M. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be
deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be
deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement.
N. Professional acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on
the part of City to inform Professional of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no
way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or
any other regard.
O. Professional will endeavor to renew the required coverages for a minimum
of three years following completion of the Services or termination of this agreement and, if
Professional in unable to do so, Professional will notify City at least thirty days prior to the
cancellation or expiration of the policy or policies.
P. Professional shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein
expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies
providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted
prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from Professional's insurance agent to this effect
is acceptable. A certificate of insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these
specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five
days of the expiration of the coverages.
Q. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit
the obligations of Professional under this agreement. Professional expressly agrees that any
statutory immunity defenses under such laws do not apply with respect to City, its officers, elected
officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.
R. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this
section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a waiver of
any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage
feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by
any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive.
S. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from
any other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties here to be interpreted as such.
T. The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and provisions
of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the
provisions of this Section.
U. Professional agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract entered
into by Professional in connection with the Services authorizes, or purports to authorize, any third
party to charge City an amount in excess of the fee set forth in the agreement on account of
insurance coverage required by this agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with
reference to City. It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying
with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other
amounts with respect thereto.
V. Professional agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss
against Professional arising out of the work performed under this agreement. City assumes no
obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling
of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City.

Subject: MS4 NPDES Laboratory testing requirements
Per NPDES MS4 Order No. R1-2015-0030 # CA0025054 (MS4 Permit), City is required to conduct
outfall, receiving water, chronic toxicity, and bio assessment monitoring during the 5 year permit term.
Monitoring will consist of grab samples taken in the field by City staff and analyzed by certified
laboratory. Intent of outfall/receiving water monitoring program is to characterize pollutant discharges
from MS4 outfalls and to assess whether discharges contribute to water quality problems in receiving
waters. Chronic toxicity monitoring is used to assess the impact of storm water pollutants on the overall
quality of aquatic systems.
Outfall, receiving and chronic toxicity testing will be conducted semi-annually and bio assessment must
be completed once within the 5 year term of the current permit.

Agenda Title: Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Contract Amendment for
Independent Audit Services with Macias, Gini and O’Connell LLP for an
additional two years with a not to exceed contract amount of $165,000
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Contract Amendment for Independent Audit Services
with Macias, Gini and O’Connell LLP (MGO) for an additional two years with a not to exceed
contract amount of $165,000.
BACKGROUND:
The City arranges for an annual audit of its financial statements by an independent auditor. The
audit firm plays a critical role in evaluating the City’s system of internal controls and overall
financial management. It assists in the preparation of the Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report (CAFR) and implementation of new Governmental Accounting Standard Board
pronouncements. The auditor can also assist in the preparation of the City’s State Controller’s
Report. The City entered into an Agreement for Independent Audit Services with Macias, Gini
and O’Connell, LLP (MGO) effective February 25, 2014, for a three (3) year term. The original
Agreement included an option to renew the agreement for two (2) additional years upon mutual
consent of both parties.
ANALYSIS:
MGO has served as the City’s auditor for three years. During that time City staff has been very
satisfied with the work of this highly-regarded firm and believes that it is prudent and in the
City’s best interest to continue engaging the firm for auditing services. MGO has worked with
the City to strengthen its internal control structure and we look forward to continuing this very
important component of the audit. MGO has made a proposal to the City to renew the original
service agreement and amend the term for two (2) additional years, to include services for audit
years 2016/17 and 2017/18. Total Proposed All-Inclusive Price for Audit Years 2016/17 and
2017/18 not to exceed $165,000.

OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
Option 1: Amend current contract for independent audit services and extend term for two
(2) additional years. Staff recommends this option
Option 2: Solicit Requests for Proposals for a new Independent Auditing Firm which takes
approximately six (6) months to complete. Due to the timing of the start of the next audit period,
it would be very difficult to solicit audit firms and be in contract for the FY 16/17 audit. Staff
does not recommend this option.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
This action is consistent with the following Strategic Plan Goals: GOAL B: Achieve and
Maintain Financial Stability.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
Sufficient Funding is included in the Finance operating budget each fiscal year, for Independent
Auditing Services.

Department: Development Services
Submitted By: Mary Grace Pawson, Development Services Director
Prepared By: Jeffrey Beiswenger, Planning Manager
Agenda Title: Discussion and Direction on Updates to the City’s Smoking Ordinance
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Provide direction to staff on possible updates to the City’s
smoking ordinance.
BACKGROUND and ANALYSIS: Public speakers at two recent City Council meetings
complained about smoking on the patios of multi-family units. Council asked staff to bring back
information on Cotati’s recent ordinance related to smoking. The Cotati ordinance has some
notable differences to the “use of tobacco” ordinance adopted by Rohnert Park.
In 2009, the City Council adopted an ordinance amending the municipal code to incorporate
regulations related to the use of tobacco. This ordinance was amended earlier this year to
regulate electronic cigarettes. The purpose of this study session is to consider whether additional
regulations are needed related to secondhand smoke. In light of the recent statewide approval of
recreational marijuana use, the city may also wish to consider applying the regulations in the
chapter of the municipal code to “cannabis” in addition to “tobacco.” A broader discussion of
regulations related to cannabis is planned for an upcoming City Council agenda in June.
In 2015, the City of Cotati adopted an ordinance to increase the areas where smoking would be
prohibited within the city, including: attached multi-unit residences, recreation areas, city-owned
property, public events. Cotati also considered prohibiting smoking in outdoor dining areas and
outdoor places of employment, but those were not included in the final ordinance. The Cotati
ordinance is included as an attachment to this staff report. The Cotati ordinance is useful as an
example since it goes a step farther than the Rohnert Park code in a few key areas:
• Declares secondhand smoke a nuisance (Section 9.31.040);
• Prohibits smoking on balconies, patios and similar places in multi-unit developments
(Section 9.31.050);
• Defines a multi-unit residence in a way that applies regulations to both ownership
units (condominiums) and rental units (apartment) (Section 9.31.030). The Rohnert
Park municipal code treats single family homes and condominiums similarly since
both types of housing units are individually owned.
Existing Regulatory Framework
Rohnert Park Municipal Code (“Municipal Code”) Chapter 8.32, protects non-smokers and
minors from cigarette, e-cigarette and tobacco smoke by prohibiting the use of these products in
places of employment, multi-unit residential developments, health care facilities, and other areas
while still protecting smokers’ rights to smoke in their own single-family homes (including

condominium units), designated apartment units and in designated smoking areas. The intent of
the ordinance is to balance the rights of smokers to smoke and the rights of nonsmokers to be
free from the detrimental effects of second hand smoke. Under Chapter 8.32, smoking is
prohibited in the following areas:
• In multi-family common areas.
• In any business where food is served and consumed.
• Within twenty-feet (20) of the entrance or exit of any city owned building.
Chapter 8.32 also has the following requirements for multi-family developments:
• Seventy-five (75) percent of apartment units constructed after June 1, 2009 must be
non-smoking and grouped together if possible.
• Fifty (50) percent of units constructed before June 1, 2009 must be non-smoking and
also grouped together if possible.
Chapter 17.06 (Land Use Regulations) regulate Tobacco Stores (retail or wholesale) by requiring
a Conditional Use Permit and only permitting this use to locate within the Regional Commercial
zoning district. Under certain circumstances, a private smoker’s lounge could be allowed as part
of a tobacco store.
As noted above, recent amendments to the City of Cotati’s smoking ordinance provide additional
protections for residents of multi-family units from secondhand smoke.
NEXT STEPS: Based on City Council discussion and direction, staff may proposed
amendments to Chapter 8.32 (Use of Tobacco) for additional consideration.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: Maintaining an effective smoking ordinance is
consistent with Strategic Plan Goal D – Continue to development a vibrant community.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE: The fiscal impact of amending the smoking
ordinance is the staff time associated with implementing the amendment to the Municipal Code.
Funding for this work would come from the Development Services Department’s operational
budget.

Prepared By: Jay Bradford, Building Official
Agenda Title: Update on Abatement Activities at the Former State Farm Office Site
RECOMMENDED ACTION: None. This item is informational.
BACKGROUND: Rohnert Park Municipal Code Section 1.24 outlines the City’s procedures for
nuisance abatement. This three step process begins with a “Preliminary Notice of Violation”
outlining the nuisance and providing the property owner with a minimum of 10 days to correct
the nuisance. The second step of the process is a “Notice of Violation” which can be issued 11
days after the Preliminary Notice and which sets an abatement deadline at least 10 days in the
future. The third step is of the process is an “Abatement Hearing” which can take place a
minimum of 10 days after the abatement deadline has been missed or approximately 30 days
after the Preliminary Notice of Violation was issued. At the Abatement Hearing, the Hearing
Officer may issue an abatement outlining the procedures that the City may use to correct the
nuisance and recover its costs from the offending property owner. The abatement process is
intentionally deliberative because it balances the City’s right to correct a nuisance with an
owner’s private property rights. In order to recover costs, it is very important that the City follow
the Municipal Code procedures and conform to the terms of any abatement orders.
In late May 2016, the City began to receive complaints about the landscaping at 6400 State Farm
Drive becoming overgrown, especially on the southern perimeter along Enterprise Dr. On June 3,
2016, staff initiated a code enforcement case and sent a Preliminary Notice of Violation. Staff
followed up with the property owner and issued a Notice of Violation on June 14, 2016 (the 11th
day) which established an abatement deadline of June 24, 2016. During the week of June 20,
2016, the property owner mowed a portion of the property. All other areas of landscaping were
left unmaintained including a very visible section by the sidewalks on State Farm Drive and
Enterprise Drive
On June 29, 2016, five days after the abatement deadline had passed, the City notified the
property owner that a nuisance abatement hearing was scheduled for July 8, 2016, or 10 days in
the future. This notice ordered the owner to demonstrate why the City should not abate the

nuisances and impose the costs on the owner. The property owner failed to appear for the
hearing, which meant the owner forfeited any right that may have existed to object to the
existence of the violations and the City’s right to abate. On July 19, 2016, Director Masterson,
the Hearing Officer, issued a Hearing Order that (i) required the owner to abate the violations by
July 29, 2016; (ii) required the owner to continue to maintain the property; (iii) provided the City
with the right to enter the property abate violations with the owner’s consent or via abatement
warrant without further notice; and (iv) required the owner to inspect the property on the 1st and
15th of every month to determine if property is in compliance with the order This Abatement
Order has a term of 12 months.
The property owner did not comply with the Hearing Order by July 29, 2016, but it did provide
the City with permission to enter its property. On July 28 2016, the City retained a landscape
contractor and the initial abatement took place from August 1 through August 4, 2016.
Since July 29, 2016, staff has inspected for nuisances on the property. Consistent with the
Hearing Order, staff inspects around the 1st and 15th of every month, which is the same time
interval in which the owner is to be ensuring compliance with the Hearing Order. As a practice,
staff has initiated abatement after two consecutive violation occurrences, meaning that if
violations are noted on both the 1st and the 15th, the City contacts its contractor and schedules an
abatement. A summary of the inspection and abatement activities are summarized in the Case
History Table below.

At the present time, the property remains vacant and unmaintained by the owner. The existing
Hearing Order is set to expire on July 19, 2017, however, additional abatement efforts appear
necessary to address ongoing nuisances.
Staff has prioritized enforcement of the Hearing Order and conducted extensive inspection and
abatement activity over the past ten months. Since the owner has been nonresponsive or has had
a limited role in addressing nuisances and the Hearing Order is nearing the end of its term, staff
is working to address the continued non-compliance. Staff has scheduled an Administrative
Hearing for June 6, 2017 to address the ongoing landscaping issue. Staff will ask for a revised
order to allow the property maintenance to continue for an additional year and will request the
authority to abate property nuisance on the occurrence of a violation or to set-up an ongoing
landscaping schedule. Staff is hopeful that this approach will both minimize the nuisance and
reduce staff time associated with inspection and abatement. Staff will also be pursuing an
ITEM NO. 8
4
abatement order for the structure itself and the authority to provide security services in order to
better control vandalism and vagrancy at the site.
Staff is also moving forward with securing additional contracts with vendors for mowing,
security, and the securing of structures. These services will provide staff with greater flexibility
to react when dealing with noncompliant properties.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: This action is consistent with Strategic Plan Goal D -
Continue to Develop a Vibrant Community. Continuing to refine the compliance efforts on this
site will reduce visual blight and maintain a high standard for Rohnert Park resident’s quality of
life.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED: None. This item is informational.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE: This item has no immediate fiscal impact. Long
term, the City’s costs for abatement are recovered from the property owner.

Meeting Date: May 23, 2017
Department: Public Works and Community Services
Submitted By: John McArthur, Director of Public Works and Community Services
Agenda Title: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Community Center Digital Billboard
Use Policy
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution approving the Community Center Digital Billboard Use Policy.
BACKGROUND:
On April 23, 2013, the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing and approving the Digital
Billboard Lease Agreement (Lease) by and between the City and Kirk Veale, dba Veale Outdoor
Advertising (Veale), for the financing, installation, operation, and maintenance of the digital
billboard adjacent to Highway 101. The Lease included provisions to have Veale replace the
manual (non-digital) message board at the Community Center Complex with a new digital
billboard sign. The construction and installation of the Community Center sign was to be at no
cost to the City.
On July 12, 2016, the City Council adopted a resolution to execute a First Amendment to the
Lease with Veale. Included in this First Amendment was an increase in the payment from Veale
from $50,000 to $65,000 for the construction and installation of the Community Center digital
billboard sign. The First Amendment also relieved Veale of any additional responsibility for the
Community Center sign and prohibited the City from using the sign to engage in commercial
advertising.
Staff returned to City Council on November 22, 2016 seeking direction on the new Community
Center digital sign design options and the creation of a new Community Center Digital Billboard
Use Policy.
ANALYSIS:
Staff has developed the Community Center Digital Billboard Use Policy (Policy) based on City
Council direction provided to staff at the November 22, 2016 City Council meeting. The Policy
retains some of the applicable language from the Digital Billboard Use Policy that governs the
Highway 101 digital sign, but it also includes information that is specific to the Community
Center Digital Billboard (Billboard). The purpose of the Policy is to provide requirements,
guidelines and procedures for the identification, prioritization, submission, and display of
messages on the Billboard.
Mission Statement
“We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a Better
Community for Today and Tomorrow.”
CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

General Policy Provisions:
The Policy contains general provisions to meet the requirements of the First Amendment with
Veale and to mitigate resident concerns about the Billboard. The Policy stipulates that
commercial advertising on the Billboard is prohibited (per the First Amendment to the lease with
Veale). However, private entities that are renting the Performing Arts Center (PAC) and/or other
City facilities for events that are open to the general public are exempted from this prohibition.
The Billboard will only operate during the hours of 6:00am to 10:00pm, in order to mitigate
resident’s concerns about brightness. In an effort to reduce driver distraction, messages
displayed on the Billboard would have a minimum display time of thirty (30) seconds and
animated and video messages would be prohibited.
City Use of Community Center Digital Billboard:
The primary purpose of the Billboard is to communicate to the public about City-sponsored
community events and performances at the PAC, public safety and general public service alerts
and/or other City alerts and announcements. To support this primary purpose, the Policy would
dedicate eighty-five (85) percent of the billboard’s operational time for City usage. Allowable
City use of the Billboard would be defined in the Policy as follows:
▪ Emergency or urgent notifications to residents;
▪ City-sponsored PAC productions;
▪ City-sponsored community events;
▪ Public Safety alerts and announcements;
▪ Public service alerts and announcements; and
▪ Other City alerts and announcements.
In the unlikely event that the Billboard cannot accommodate all City requests, the requests would
be prioritized according to the following criteria:
1. Emergency or urgent notifications to City residents;
2. City events to be held at the Community Center Complex have precedence over
other City events;
3. Revenue generating City events will be prioritized over non-revenue generating
City events. Revenue-generating City events include, but are not limited to:
Performing Arts Center productions, Farmer’s Market, Holiday Arts & Crafts
Faire, Animal Shelter Mutt Strut and other fundraising events; non-revenue
generating City events include, but are not limited to: Public Safety National
Night Out;
4. Public Safety alerts and service announcements;
5. Public service alerts and announcements;
6. Other City alerts and announcements.
Non-City Use of Community Center Digital Billboard:
The Policy would allow fifteen (15) percent of the billboard’s operational time to be allocated for
non-City use. Non-City use would be limited to:
▪ Events and productions open to the general public and sponsored by renters of
the PAC and/or other City facilities;
3
▪ Ticketed and non-ticketed events sponsored by local non-profits, which are
held within the City, open to the public, and are of social or economic benefit;
▪ Community related announcements and events by local public educational
institutions.
Non-City events that would be held at the Community Center Complex (Community Center,
PAC, or Sports Center) would be prioritized over other non-City events. If there was any
un-booked non-City usage time, the Billboard would default to display City events and
announcements.
The table below lists the proposed fees to be charged to non-City entities promoting events
on the Billboard. The fees for local non-profit organizations are approximately fifty percent
(50%) of the fees charged to non-profits for utilizing the Highway 101 digital billboard.
Non-City Use: Duration: Rate:
Renters of PAC and/or other
City Facilities
Cost and duration to be included in rental agreement

Weekdays and Weekends $50/Entire week
Weekends only $20/Weekend

*__ Weeks Maximum per Ad
Weekdays and Weekends $50/Entire week
Weekends only $20/Weekend
Weekday rate (minimum 2 days) $12/Day
** No charge for non-ticketed events or community announcements
* To be evaluated and approved on a case-by-case basis.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
Adopting a resolution to approve the Community Center Digital Billboard Use Policy is in
alignment with Strategic Plan Goal D: Continue to develop a vibrant community.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
Option 1: City Council could adopt a resolution to approve the Policy as developed, which
would provide clear guidelines for City and non-City use of the Billboard. Staff recommends
this option.
4
Option 2: City Council could make further recommendations to the Policy. Staff would
incorporate the recommended changes into the Policy and return to City Council with a revised
Policy. Staff recommends this option in the event that City Council determines that significant
changes to the Policy would be beneficial for the City.
Option 3: City Council could decide not to approve the Policy. This option would leave the
Billboard without operational guidelines, which could cause confusion and inconstant
application of messaging on the Billboard. Staff does not recommend this option.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
The proposed Policy may increase revenue to the City via the promotion of community events
hosted by non-profit organizations and events hosted at the Community Center and/or PAC that
are open to the general public. Although, revenue amounts generated from the non-City use of
the Billboard is unknown at this time, any revenue received could be used to offset the operation
and maintenance costs of the Billboard which is estimated at $8,300/year.

RE: ABAG Executive Board (Alternate)
Honorable Mayors and Council Members,
I am submitting my letter of interest in filling the vacancy on the ABAG
Executive Board (Alternate) that was created as a result of Julie Comb’s
term expiring in June of 2017.
The role of ABAG in the coming years is going to be a crucial one as we
move forward with planning for improvements to our regional transit
systems, update our greater land use decisions, and develop strategies to
better address the housing needs for the bay area. In the past six-years of
serving as a councilmember in Petaluma I have advocated strongly for
increased funding and access for transit, affordable housing. I have had the
pleasure of working collaboratively with representatives on the Health
Action Council for five of the past six years, and currently represent
Petaluma on the Sonoma Clean Power board. I strongly feel my diverse
background with experience in healthcare management, emergency
management, and as a first responder provide me with a wealth of
knowledge that could be applied to this position.
Please call me if you have any questions.
Respectfully,
Gabe Kearney
Council Member

ITEM NO. 11
1
Meeting Date: May 23, 2017 DRAFT
Department: Public Safety, Fire Division
Submitted By: Jim Thompson, Fire Marshal
Prepared By: Jim Thompson, Fire Marshal
Agenda Title: Declaration of Weed Abatement, Protest Hearing
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:
Conduct the required protest hearing;
Adopt the resolution finding no defensible protests and ordering the abatement of weeds on
the noticed lots or properties
Direct staff to implement the weed abatement program
SUMMARY:
On May 9, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2017-051 declaring weeds to be a seasonal and
recurrent nuisance, and directed the weeds to be abated from the properties identified or the City would
affect abatement through the use of a contractor.
The citywide inspection for lots and properties in violation of established Weed Abatement Standards has
been completed. Attached is a complete list of lots that were found to be in violation. At this time a
several of those lots have cleared their violations.
In accordance with state law and City Council Resolution No. 2017-051, starting on or about May 10,
2017, all affected property owners were notified of this action, by means of written notices, phone
messages, phone calls and/or emails. Also as required by Resolution No. 2017-051, a notice was
published in the Community Voice on Friday, May 12, and Friday, May 19, 2017, regarding the Weed
Abatement Protest Hearing scheduled for May 23, 2017.
Inspections for compliance of the properties noted in violation are scheduled to begin May 24, 2017, with
abatements intended to begin June 26, 2017.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
Implementing this action will continue to develop a vibrant community.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
1. Recommended: Staff recommends receiving public comment and to move forward with the
weed abatement process, as outlined in Resolution 2017-051
Mission Statement
“We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a
Better Community for Today and Tomorrow.”

2. Alternative: Staff also considered the option of not abating unmanaged weed growth on
properties within the city. This results in a blighted appearance and has been a contributing factor
in significant vegetation fires during the summer and fall months.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
No significant fiscal impacts are related to this. If abatement is needed the property owner shall bear those
costs.

incorporated herein, stating that inspections for compliance of the properties noted in violation
are scheduled to begin May 24th, 2017, and, if not in compliance, the City is authorized to abate
the weeds and assess the costs of such abatement upon the lots and lands from which such
nuisance was abated and that such abatement is intended to begin on June 26th, 2017, and;

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park will be
holding a PUBLIC HEARING.
WHERE: Rohnert Park City Hall – Council Chamber
130 Avram Avenue
Rohnert Park, California
WHEN: Tuesday, May 23, 2017, at the hour of 6:00 p.m.
or as soon thereafter as the matter is reached on the agenda.
PURPOSE: To hear property owner protests regarding the proposed destruction or
removal of weeds declared to constitute a public nuisance.
NOTICE TO DESTROY WEEDS
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on May 9, 2017, pursuant to the provisions of Ordinance
No. 27 of the City of Rohnert Park, the City Council passed Resolution No. 2017-51 declaring
that there exists on numerous lots and parcels of real property within the City of Rohnert Park
weeds, dry grass, stubble, brush, litter and other flammable material which endangers the
public safety by creating a fire hazard and which the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park
found and declared to constitute a public nuisance which should be removed and cleared from
each and all of said premises.
NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that property owners shall without delay remove all such
weeds from their property and the abutting half of the street in front and alleys, if any, behind
such property, and between the lot lines thereof as extended, or such weeds will be destroyed
or removed and such nuisance abated by the City authorities, or their designated agents or
contractors, in which case the cost of such destruction or removal will be assessed upon the
lots and lands from which, or from the front or rear of which, such weeds shall have been
destroyed or removed; and such cost will constitute a charge upon such lots or lands until
paid, and a penalty of ten percent (10%) for nonpayment within the time and in the manner
prescribed, plus a penalty of one-half of one percent (.5%) per month for nonpayment of the
charge and basic penalty, will attach thereto.
All property owners having any objections to the proposed destruction or removal of such
weeds are hereby notified to attend a meeting of the City Council to be held on May 23, 2017,
at 6:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter is reached, when and where their objections
will be heard and given due consideration.

Meeting Date: May 23, 2017
Department: Development Services
Submitted By: Mary Grace Pawson, Director of Development Services
Prepared By: Mary Grace Pawson, Director of Development Services
Agenda Title: Annual Review of Development Agreements for Sonoma Mountain
Village Planned Development, Southeast Specific Plan, University District
Specific Plan and Stadium Lands Planned Development; Consider
Requested Extensions for University District Development Agreement
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive the Annual Review of Development Agreements;
Provide Direction to Staff to Pursue an Extension Agreement for Provisions of the University
District Development Agreement.
BACKGROUND: Rohnert Park Municipal Code Section 17.21.050 and Section 9.05 of the
Development Agreements (DAs) for the Sonoma Mountain Village Planned Development, the
Southeast Specific Plan, and the University District Specific Plan require annual review of the
DAs. A similar annual review provision is included in Section 8.5 of the DA for the Stadium
Lands Planned Development. The annual review provisions require the developers to provide
evidence of good faith compliance with the terms and conditions of their DA. This evidence is
then evaluated by the City to confirm the developers’ compliance with the performance
standards for their respective projects. If, after its review, the City finds the developer has
complied in good faith with the Agreement, the City issues a Certificate of Compliance. If, after
an annual review, the City finds that the developer has not complied with the DA, then various
remedies may be considered up to and including termination of the DA.
The Municipal Code and the various DAs differ slightly in their requirements for the annual
review. Some designate the review responsibility to the City Manager and some designate it to
the Director of Development Services. Some require the annual review report to be delivered to
the Planning Commission and some require that it be delivered to the City Council. This annual
review report is intended to be a comprehensive review – it has been prepared by the
Development Services Department and reviewed by the City Manager. It will be delivered to the
City Council with a copy to Planning Commission for its reference and because follow-up
actions may require review by the Planning Commission.
ANALYSIS: Staff has solicited and evaluated compliance documentation from each developer
and conducted an independent review of each developer’s compliance with the respective DAs.
At this time the developers of the Southeast Specific Plan Area and Stadium Lands Planned
Development are in compliance with their respective DAs. The developers of the Sonoma
Mountain Village Planned Development and the University District Specific Plan are working

with the City to cure defaults related to completing required public improvements. Details on
each development are presented below.
Sonoma Mountain Village Planned Development: Sonoma Mountain Village is located in
southeast Rohnert Park, south of Camino Colegio, west of Bodway Parkway and east of the
SMART tracks. The development consists of 175 acres with 1,892 proposed dwelling units
including 148 affordable units, 290,000 square feet of commercial space, 234,000 square feet
office space, 150 hotel rooms, 35,000 square feet of public space and 29 acres of parks. The
developer has indicated that it will be submitting an application to amend its Final Development
Plan in the near future, in order to better accommodate mitigation for California Tiger
Salamander on the site.
The City did not issue a Certificate of Compliance to the developer in 2016 because of issues
related to the construction of a required SMART path and soccer field. After extended
negotiations, the developer entered into an agreement with SMART to fund SMART’s
construction of the required path and put funds on deposit to cover this obligation. The developer
also entered into a letter agreement with City where it agreed to construct the required soccer
field at Sunrise Park and pay the City $500,000 in liquidated damages for the delay. This letter
agreement also contemplates a third amendment to the DA, which will formalize the modified
agreements around the soccer field and the SMART path. The City has received one payment of
$250,000 towards the liquidated damages total and staff is working with the developer to prepare
the third amendment.
In early 2017, the developer requested that the City consent to a partial assignment of the DA in
order to allow the developer to secure a loan to support development of the project. On April 11,
2017, the City Council consented to this partial assignment provided that the developer deposit
$2.55 million with the City, to cover its soccer field obligations.
The developer is in the process of finalizing its loan and has not yet deposited the $2.55 million
with the City. In addition, while the parties are working on the third amendment to the DA, it has
not yet been finalized. In sum, there are still outstanding issues that the developer is in the
process of resolving with the City. For these reasons, staff is not currently able to issue a
Certificate of Compliance to the Sonoma Mountain Village developer. This issue may be
revisited, at the developer’s request, once the developer is in compliance with the terms of the
DA and has executed a third amendment to the DA.
Southeast Specific Plan: The Southeast Specific Plan is located north of Valley House Drive,
east of Bodway Parkway and west of Petaluma Hill Road. It comprises 80 acres with 475
dwelling units of low density, medium density and mixed use including 72 affordable units. The
development also includes 10,000 square feet of commercial space and a six acre park.
In 2016, the developer completed the processing of its first final map, creating 107 residential
lots. As required by the DA, it offered for dedication a public park and water tank site. It also
entered into a letter agreement with the City and the Housing Land Trust of Sonoma County to
satisfy its affordable housing obligations for the first phase of its development. The developer
began construction of onsite and in-tract utility improvements and is working to finalize its
CC&Rs and improvement plans. Staff anticipates that construction of residential units will begin
in 2017.
The developer of the Southeast Specific Plan Area is currently in compliance with the terms of
its DA and a Certificate of Compliance will be issued.
ITEM NO. 12
3
University District Specific Plan: The University District Specific Plan is located north of
Rohnert Park Expressway, south of Keiser Avenue, west of Petaluma Hill Road and east of
Snyder Lane. It comprises 297 acres with 1,645 dwelling units including 218 affordable units, a
maximum of 100,000 square feet of commercial space and 74 acres of parks and open space.
The following actions were completed in 2016 to conform to the requirements of the DA.
128-acres east of Petaluma Hill Road (the “Anderson 128) was offered to and accepted
by the City, providing a site for a new water tank and regional detention basin and
connectivity to Crane Creek Regional Park.
Funding for construction of the potable water tank (over $6,000,000 to cover construction
costs and contingency) was provided to the City.
Funding for construction of a Rohnert Park Expressway monument sign ($200,000) was
provided to the City.
Funding for a regional traffic fee study ($100,000) was provided to the City.
Regional traffic fee payments and maintenance annuity fund payments were made as
residential building permits and certificates of occupancy were issued.
The City issued a permit for the Rohnert Park Expressway widening on May 26, 2016,
which initiated the commencement of construction.
The City issued a permit for Twin Creeks Park on May 26, 2016, which initiated the
commencement of construction.
Provided that work begins during the summer construction season, which it did, the DA requires
that both the Rohnert Park Expressway widening and Twin Creeks Park projects be completed
within one year of the commencement of construction. On February 21, 2017, the developer
acknowledged it would not be able to complete either of these projects within a year and
requested an extension from the City. While the developer is requesting a 120-day extension, it
anticipates completing the Twin Creeks Park construction and commencing the landscape
establishment period on June 19, 2017. It anticipates completing the Rohnert Park Expressway
widening by mid-August.
Staff has reviewed the developer’s request and is recommending extensions be granted, subject
to the terms outlined below.
For Twin Creeks Park, staff is recommending a 120-day extension, subject to payment by
developer of liquidated damages in the amount of $5,000 per day for each working day beyond
May 26, 2017 that the park is not completed. Anticipated damages would be $110,000 assuming
completion on June 19. The developer has expedited its work on the park and staff believes it
will finish on or before June 19.
For Rohnert Park Expressway, staff is recommending a 120-day extension with two separate
triggers for liquated damages.
The first trigger is completion of the utility, streetlight and sidewalk improvements on the north
side of Rohnert Park Expressway between Snyder Lane and Kerry Road. Staff recommends
requiring that the developer pay liquidated damages of $5,000 per day for every day beyond May
26, 2017, that these facilities are delayed. Completion of these facilities will allow the City to
open a safe pedestrian path of travel from Snyder Lane to the University District. Staff believes
the developer can achieve this milestone schedule goal and that liquidated damages are
appropriate if this important connection is delayed beyond the one-year completion date required
by the DA.
ITEM NO. 12

The second trigger is completion of all paving, traffic signals and remaining streetlight, utility
and sidewalk improvements on the north side of Rohnert Park Expressway, including
improvements within the County’s right-of-way. Staff is recommending that the developer be
allowed an extension until August 12, 2017 for this part of the work, without liquidated damages.
Staff is making this recommendation in order to allow significant traffic control operations,
associated with this portion of the work, to occur while school is out of session, which will
minimize impacts on the community. Based on the developer’s current schedule, staff does not
anticipate it will need to collect liquidated damages, however the potential penalty is appropriate
if the work continues beyond August 12, 2017 because the delay will result in significant
inconvenience for the public.
Staff is requesting that Council direct staff to work with the developer on a letter agreement to
memorialize these extensions and the milestone completion dates that the developer must meet in
order to avoid liquidated damages.
Because the developer has not completed two critical public improvements in a timely fashion,
the developer is not in compliance with the terms of the DA and the City cannot issue a
Certificate of Compliance. This issue may be revisited, at the developer’s request, once the
developer has completed the Twin Creeks Park and Rohnert Park Expressway improvements. If
these improvements are not completed within any agreed upon extension period, staff will refer
the matter and additional options to secure compliance to the Planning Commission and the City
Council as outlined in the Municipal Code and Section 9.05 of the DA.
Stadium Lands Planned Development: The Stadium Lands Planned Development Area is
located east of Labath Avenue, west of Dowdell Avenue and north of Martin Avenue extension.
It comprises 30 acres with 463 dwelling units, a maximum of 140,000 square feet of commercial
space and an approximately 0.7 acre park. On January 24, 2017, the City Council approved a
development agreement with Stadium RP-Development Partners, LLC covering a little over 12
acres of the planned development area. This DA governs the development of a hotel, commercial
site and a multi-family residential complex along with the proposed park. At this point, it is
premature to conduct an “annual review” of this new DA but it will be included in the 2018
Annual Review of Development Agreements.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: This action is consistent with Strategic Plan Goal D –
Continue to Develop a Vibrant Community. The Annual Report on the Development
Agreements is an important part of implementing the terms of these agreements over time.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED: With respect to the annual review, none. Providing the annual
review is required by the Municipal Code and the various Development Agreements. With
respect to the proposed extension agreement for the University District DA, the Council could
direct staff to pursue different liquidated damages provisions or breach remedies rather than
pursue extensions.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE: There is no fiscal impact associated with receiving
this Annual Report. Costs associated with implementing the various Development Agreements,
including the cost of reporting, are covered by the Reimbursement Agreements that the City has
with each developer.

Department: Administration/Human Resources
Submitted By: Darrin Jenkins, City Manager
Prepared By: Victoria Perrault, Human Resources Director
Agenda Title: Consideration and Adoption of Resolution Approving Second Amendment to
2014 Employment Agreement Between the City of Rohnert Park and Brian
Masterson for Public Safety Director Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the attached resolution approving the Second
Amendment to the 2014 Employment Agreements between the City of Rohnert Park and Brian
Masterson for Public Safety Director Services.
BACKGROUND: On April 25, 2017 the City Council approved the Outline of Certain
Conditions of Employment, Fringe Benefits, and Salary for the Management Unit
(“Management Unit Outline”) effective April 30, 2017 to June 30, 2021. It provides for the
following salary adjustments: five and one half percent (5.5%) base salary increase effective
April 30, 2017; two and one half percent (2.5%) increase to base salary effective the first day of
the first pay period which includes July 1, 2018; two and one half percent (2.5%) increase to
base salary effective the first day of the first pay period which includes July 1, 2019; and three
percent (3%) increase to base salary effective the first day of the first pay period which includes
July 1, 2020. Mr. Masterson’s existing employment agreement provides for salary adjustments
specified in the Management Unit Outline.
ANALYSIS: In order to provide Mr. Masterson with the same salary adjustments provided to
other management employees who do not have employment contracts and who are covered by
the Management Unit Outline, it is necessary to amend his existing Employment Agreement.
The attached employment agreement amendment provides for a five and one half percent
(5.5%) base salary increase effective April 30, 2017; two and one half percent (2.5%) increase
to base salary effective the first day of the first pay period which includes July 1, 2018; two and
one half percent (2.5%) increase to base salary effective the first day of the first pay period
which includes July 1, 2019; and three percent (3%) increase to base salary effective the first
day of the first pay period which includes July 1, 2020. These salary adjustments are specified
in dollar amounts in each of the Amendments to Employment Agreements.
In addition to the salary adjustment referenced above, language has been incorporated to
comply with Government Code Sections 53243.4 and to reaffirm severance payments
established in the original employment agreement that will be provided in the event the City
terminates the contract without cause.

Lastly, a provision was added to provide a uniform maintenance allowance of $1,080 annually.
This provision is added in lieu of issuing uniforms.
The Council is asked to approve attached Resolution which approves the Second Amendment
to 2014 Employment Agreement and authorizes the City Manager to execute the attached
Second Amendment to 2014 Employment Agreement.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
Approval of this item would ensure compliance with the City’s adopted Strategic Plan by
safeguarding the effective delivery of public services which aligns with Goal C.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
1. Recommended Option: Staff recommends approving this item as this executive position
is vital to ensuring the efficient and effective delivery of public service to the Rohnert Park
community.
2. Alternative Option: Council could opt not to amend the employment agreement, but
staff does not recommend this option as it would negatively affect service levels and
compromise organizational efficiency.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE: This salary adjustment is included in
the City wide salary adjustment projections for fiscal year 2017/18. There is no
additional fiscal impact.
