performance of Operator’s services hereunder. Operator 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.
Operator is not a designated employee within the meaning of the Political Reform

or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful
misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Operator or its employees, subcontractors, or
agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of
their work. The foregoing obligation of Operator shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of
life, damage to property, or violation of law arises from the sole negligence or willful

Operational Management of La Laguna Resort and Boat Launch
February 1, 2017
misconduct of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions
of Operator or its employees, subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the
injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of
