STAFF RECOMMENDATION:Adopt the Resolution Approving the Third Amendment to Land Lease Between the City of Dublin and U.S. Bank National Association. FINANCIAL IMPACT:The Lease Amendment will provide the City with rental income for the lease term in the amount of $119,040 per year for five years, an increase from the current lease rate of $54,528 per year. Additionally,U.S. Bank will surrender the current bank building to the City upon the expiration of the lease. Staff recommends that all lease revenue be deposited in a General Fund Assigned Reserve to fund any future desired building improvements. DESCRIPTION:In May 2007, the City acquired fee title to the real property formerly known as the Dublin Square Shopping Center located at 11759 Dublin Boulevard (APN 941-1560-007-01)from Berkeley Land Co. through a Purchase and Sale Agreement. The City acquired the property for the development of Dublin Heritage Park and Museums. By acquiring this property, the City then became the landlord for U.S. Bank’s Land Lease dated April 14, 1967, and Lease Amendment dated May 9, 1990. This lease is set to expire on October 31, 2022. At this time,the City and U.S. Bank National Association (as tenant) desire to amend the lease to 391 Page 2 of 2 extend the lease term by five years, adjust the rent to market rate, and clarify the process by which U.S. Bank will surrender the building and improvements to the City upon the expiration of the lease and at no cost to the City. The Dublin Heritage Park Master Plan identifies the area where the current bank building is located for a 45-space parking lot. However, Staff recommends establishing a new General FundAssigned Reserve for future building improvements and deposit all lease revenues for the extended term to fund such improvements when the City assumes the building. Over the next five years Staff will work with the City Council to identify and plan for the future use of this building through the normal Capital Improvement Program process.

RECITALS A.Berkeley Land Company (“Original Lessor”) and First National Bank of Pleasanton (“Original Lessee”) entered into that certain Land Lease dated as of April 14, 1967 (the “Original Land Lease”), under which Original Lessor leased to Original Lessee, the real property located at the address commonly known as 11805 Dublin Boulevard, Dublin, California (APN 941-1560-007-01) and legally described in the Original Lease (the “Premises”). The Original Land Lease was subsequently extended by letter dated December 5, 1986. B.Original Lessor and Community First National Bank, as successor-in-interest to Original Lessee, entered into that certain Lease Amendment dated as of May 9, 1990 (the “First Amendment”). C.Lessor succeeded to the interest of Original Lessor pursuant to that certain Assignment and Assumption of Leases dated May 9, 2007, under which Lessor acquired all of Original Lessor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Original Lease, as amended. D.Lessor and Lessee subsequently entered into that certain Second Amendment to Land Lease dated as of December 18, 2007 (the “Second Amendment”).

F.The term of the Lease is set to expire on October 31, 2022, and Lessor and Lessee desire to amend the Lease to alter certain provisions thereof upon the terms and conditions set forth below. NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Lessor and Lessee agree as follows. 1.Term. The term of this Lease shall be extended for an additional period of five (5) years commencing on November 1, 2022 and expiring on October 31, 2027 (the “Extended Term”). 2.Rent. Commencing on November 1, 2022, Lessee shall pay to Lessor annual rent in the amount of One Hundred Nineteen Thousand Forty and 00/100 Dollars ($119,040.00) in advance in equal monthly installments of Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty and 00/100 Dollars ($9,920.00). 3.Directional Signage.

Attachment 2 Exhibit A to the Resolution 395 Third Amendment to Land Lease July 19, 2022 Between the City of Dublin and U.S. National Bank Assoc. Page 2 of 5 4. Surrender. The parties deem Lessee to be the owner of the approximately 3,100 square foot building and improvements located on the Premises (the “Improvements”) so long as the Lease remains in effect. Upon expiration of this Lease, Lessee shall surrender the Premises to Lessor and leave any Improvements in their as-is, where-is condition. Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall remove Lessee’s signs, including directional signage, furniture, equipment (other than building service equipment, such as HVAC equipment), appliances, trade fixtures, personal property and inventory at the expiration of the Lease Term. The Improvements and the appurtenances thereto remaining upon the Premises after surrender thereof shall automatically become the property of the Lessor from and after the expiration of the Lease term. Upon the expiration of this Lease, or the sooner termination thereof, upon Lessor’s written request, Lessee agrees to execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Lessor a proper instrument in writing drafted by Lessor, at its sole expense, releasing, and quitclaiming to Lessor all right, title, and interest of Lessee in and to the Premises and all improvements thereon. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Lessor must provide Lessee with written notice of any claim or demand relating to this Section or the surrender condition of the Premises on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after the earlier of the day on which (i) Lessee surrenders the Premises to Lessor, or (ii) the Lease term expires or the Lease otherwise terminates. If Lessor fails to provide such notice, Lessor shall be deemed to have waived all claims against Lessee for any damages that arise out of or money owed as a result of Lessee’s surrender of the Premises. Nothing by way of this section is intended to relieve Lessee of its obligation to surrender the Premises at the expiration of the Lease Term. This Section 4, is intended to, and expressly does, replace and supersede Section 10, Option to Purchase Building of the Original Land Lease. 5. Operating. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Lessee shall not be required to operate at the Premises and shall not be subject to any operating restrictions within any distance or geographic area surrounding the Premises. 6. Self-Insurance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Lessee shall have the right to self-insure, in whole or in part, for any insurance requirement contained in the Lease. 7. Confidentiality. Lessor acknowledges that Lessee is a federally regulated financial institution that must comply with the safeguards for customer information contained in the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and regulations promulgated pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Lessee agrees to take reasonable measures to protect its confidential and proprietary information, including but not limited to Lessee’s customer, commercial or technical information (collectively, “Confidential Information”). In certain situations contemplated under this Lease, Lessor may have access to the Premises and, therefore, to Lessee’s Confidential Information. Lessor hereby agrees that it shall not reproduce or disclose any of Lessee’s Confidential Information to any third party nor may it remove any such Confidential Information from the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, upon expiration of this Lease, if any Confidential Information remains on the Premises, Lessor shall either return the same to Lessee or destroy it. If Lessor or any of its representatives or agents breaches the covenants set forth in this paragraph, irreparable injury may result to Lessee or such third parties entrusting Confidential Information to Lessee. Therefore, Lessee’s remedies at law may be inadequate and Lessee shall be entitled to seek an injunction to restrain any continuing breach. If Lessor or any of its agents knows or reasonably believes that any Confidential Information in Lessor’s control has been stolen, disclosed, lost, or is unaccounted for (collectively, a “Disclosure”), 396 Third Amendment to Land Lease July 19, 2022 Between the City of Dublin and U.S. National Bank Assoc. Page 3 of 5 Lessor must immediately notify Lessee and take commercially reasonable measures to assist Lessee in determining the extent of the Disclosure. 8. Authority. Lessor and Lessee represent and warrant that each has all the necessary approvals and authority to enter into this Lease and shall indemnify and hold each other harmless for any breach of this representation and warranty. 9. No Existing Defaults. Lessor and Lessee represent and warrant that there are currently no defaults by either party under the Lease. 10. Notices.
