TO: ​ Danielle West, City Manager ​
FROM: ​ Andrew J. Downs, Director of Public Assembly Facilities Division
DATE: ​ April 9, 2026
RE: ​ Council Agenda Item – Old Port Half Marathon& 5K



I am requesting that the following order be placed on the next City Council agenda:

 Order authorizing and declaring Shipyard Old Port Half Marathon & 5K to be held on
 Saturday, June 6, 2026 as a Festival.

EVENT DESCRIPTION: The Shipyard Old Port Half Marathon & 5K is a for-profit event, however, A
Running Passion (and other non-profits in the area) all benefit from race proceeds.
This race has been held in the city for fourteen (14) years. (This will be the 15th.) This year, the
number of half marathon and 5K runners is estimated to be 4,500 people total.
Due to restrictions enacted by Maine State Police & Maine Department of Transportation, this will
be the third year the race is no longer allowed to include the temporary closure of highway
offramps. The race organizer has worked directly with City staff (Police, Fire, Traffic & Event
Permitting) to establish a new race route and times to accommodate those restrictions. The race
organizer is also working with businesses throughout the Old Port and the waterfront, including
those along Center Street, Fore Street, Middle Street, and Commercial Street to inform them about
expected impacts and to develop contingency plans.

The Order should include the following items:
(1) The Shipyard Old Port Half Marathon & 5K be authorized for Saturday, June 6, 2026,
from 3:00am – 11:30am, to be held in Portland, along city streets and trails. The start corral
for the half marathon race is on Spring Street between Center Street and Union Street; and
on Cross St between Free Street and Spring St for the 5K. The finish chute area is on Spring
Street. The start of the half marathon race is at 7:00 am, and the start of the 5K race is at
7:35 am.

(2) As part of the post-race event, a food and 21+ beer garden will be set up in a privately
owned lot at One Portland Square Parking at 50 Cross Street (approx. 67,410 sq ft of open
space), and open from 7:30am – 12:30pm. Organizers will hire Police Officers for this area
and will have an ambulance & EMS staff on site for the duration of the event.
The area of Spring Street (Center Street to Union Street) and abutting sidewalks is the designated
Festival Zone. As such, it is closed to street vendors pursuant to Section 19-17 of the Portland City

The organizer will reach out to the many businesses along the race route, including businesses in
the Start/Finish Line area, as well businesses along Center St, Middle Street, Fore Street, and
Commercial Street to alert them to the street closures and traffic delays on Saturday morning.
In the event the start of the Half Marathon is delayed, the ending times of the above street closures
would also be delayed/pushed back.

For Commercial Street, the “west-bound” lane (Union St to Valley St) will be closed to traffic and
used for runners. Police will close access to the east-bound lane to regular traffic starting at Valley
St and West Commercial Street from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM. However, Police will allow commercial
vehicles that need access to the waterfront businesses. The waterside (east-bound lane)
will only be open to vehicles coming from the waterfront businesses. A single row of barricades
will be placed on Commercial St to divide the east and west bound lanes from Valley Street to
Franklin Street. Vehicles will be permitted to cross over Commercial Street at the intersections of
Park Street, Union Street, Pearl Street, and Franklin St (with police assistance, when space between
runners allowed).

For Commercial Street proper (Union St to Franklin St), the runner’s lane will be down the “center
turn lane” of Commercial Street. Two rows of barricades will be used. At this point along
Commercial Street, there are 2 lanes for vehicles (westbound and eastbound – one on either side of
the runners).

For streets near the beginning of the race route, Eastern Promenade and Fore Street (down to
Hancock Street), a row of cones will be placed down the middle, and a runners lane will be setup
on the water side of the street (so vehicles will still flow on the other side of the street).
For streets near the end of the race route, York Street (High Street to Center Street), a row of cones
will be placed down the middle, and a runners lane will be set up on the water side of the street (so
vehicles will still flow on the other side of the street).

Some streets will need to be posted "No Parking," including Spring Street, Center Street, Cross
Street, Fore Street, Eastern Promenade Road, and possibly other streets along the race route. Cars
parked illegally at these “No Parking” signs will be towed at the owner's expense.

In addition, the trails will have restricted use. Back Cove Trail, Eastern Prom Trail and Bayside
Trail will need to be posted “Bicycles, Baby Strollers and Pets, not permitted on Trails during
OPHM Race, Saturday, 7 – 10am.” Signs to be posted along the trails by organizer, a week in
advance.

 Pride Parade: Saturday, June 20, 2026 11:30 pm Kick-Off. Parade forms up on Preble Street (between
Cumberland and Congress), Center Street (from Free to Congress), and Monument Square. Congress Street will
additionally be closed to Myrtle street for registration to take place in front of City Hall. Parade goes down
Congress Street to High Street, Park Avenue to Mellen Street intersection, onto sidewalk and pathway to Deering
Oaks. Organizers will hire some Police Officers and PCO's to assist with traffic control. Many volunteers will staff
the parade route intersections (barricades). A few of the streets will need to be posted “No Parking.” SOUND
PERMIT needed. Street closers needed: Federal Street, Preble Street, Brown Street, Center Street, Casco
Street, Free Street, Oak Street, Forest Avenue, High Street, Congress Street, Elm Street, Federal Street.

Pride Festival: Saturday, June 20, 2026 11:30 – 4pm. Festival is held in Deering Oaks Park (located on the
Park Avenue and Bowling Green Path side of the Oaks) and includes the use of the grass areas and Bowling
Green Path, a large stage will be erected on the grass beside the path (near the pond), and electricity at nearby
green box for entertainment (DJ's and bands). SOUND PERMIT and ELECTRICITY needed.

Stage comes in on the Friday before, gets removed on Sunday or Monday. Many tables are set up on the grass
as well as some canopies.

We will have food trucks and non-food vendors at the festival. There will also be some gas grills used for cooking.
The food trucks will park on the main thorough path through the park (NOT on grass). The Bowling Green will be
used only for blanket seating.

 Organizers will rent a number of porta-restrooms with 30+ to be positioned on the grass area just to the side of
the Bowling Green Path. Parking spaces along Park Avenue, park side from State Street and extending to
Deering Avenue will need to be set aside for the festival.

A Beer Garden will be set up in the park, past the vendor tables, separate from the stage area. The festival
organizers will secure a licensed vendor to serve alcohol. Only guests 21+ will be admitted to the beer garden. It
will run from 12:00-4:00, with a last call. Additionally, 4+ porta-restrooms will be inside of the beer garden. The
pavilion stage will be used for the beer garden DJ. Generator needed for power.

The Farmers Market will also be in Deering Oaks, therefore the area could be congested with pedestrians as well

as vehicles. However the Farmers Market has agreed to move their location to the triangle adjacent to Deering
Ave, allowing Market Row to be used for Food Trucks.
WHAT WILL BE THE ANTICIPATED NEED FOR PARKING AND WHAT IS YOUR PARKING PLAN

 EVENT REVIEW

 Page 101
The PAFD Office holds a monthly meeting where proposed events are discussed and reviewed by City Departments. For some events,
organizers will be asked to present before the committee. Some potential factors may necessitate your event receiving City Council approval.




 ELECTRICITY

All cords in the public way must be covered by rugs, mats or orange cones to avoid public hazard. If weather is inclement (drizzle, rain, snow,
etc.) we require that you not use electricity, unless all connections and equipment are covered and protected from the elements. If a generator
is used, please take all necessary measures to ensure safe operation. Bring a fire extinguisher, set generator up away from activities (and
combustibles), store fuel source away from the generator, and keep children away from the generator.




 BARBECUES - GAS GRILLS ONLY

Only GAS GRILLS are allowed in parks/public spaces (i.e. NO CHARCOAL GRILLS or OPEN BURNING). Barbecuing must first be approved
by PAFD Office and is subject to weather conditions - and possible further review by the Fire Dept. Grills must be set up away from children’s
activities. You are required to have a fire extinguisher within the grilling area.




 PORTA-RESTROOMS / BATHROOM FACILITIES

Beach & near the courts, and Riverton Trolley Park.) If over 150 people are expected to attend the event, a $75 user fee is required (paid to

materials. You may also place signs on stakes in the grass areas bordering trails/race routes (when applicable).

TO: ​ Danielle West, City Manager ​
FROM: ​ Andrew J. Downs, Director of Public Assembly Facilities Division
DATE: ​ April 9, 2026
RE: ​ Council Agenda Item – Water Lantern Festival



 I am requesting that the following order be placed on
 the next City Council agenda:

 Order declaring the Water Lantern Festival, as a festival.

This will be the fourth year of this well-received community event. It is a gathering in Deering
Oaks park launching paper water lanterns for a wide array of memorials and celebrations in life.

According to organizers, the Water Lantern Festival is a positive event that promotes peace,
community, connection, and love. It’s an awe-inspiring experience that brings together families,
friends, and strangers to celebrate our lives, our freedoms, and this beautiful world. This is a time
that we can come together, love one another, and heal ourselves. Reflect on your life, share your
dreams, and feel the peace of all those around you as the lanterns reflect off the water. There is
music from the stage, food trucks, artisans, and fun games in the festival area where participants
take in the environment leading up to the lantern launch. With our highly experienced event
execution team, detailed event coordination plan, and our commitment to safety and excellence,
this is truly an inspiring event. The Water Lantern Festival will begin at 5:30 PM and conclude
about 60 minutes after sunset (9:30 PM).

 The Water Lantern Festival team is committed to:

 ●​ Coordinate with venue and city managers to ensure their standard safety policies and
 procedures are in place and functioning.
 ●​ Stay in close contact with local authorities in the case of adverse weather conditions.
 ●​ Provide instruction to participants regarding the proper way to release lanterns into
 the water during the event.



Environmental Plan




 212 Canco Road Suite A, Portland, Maine 04103 | c: 207.808-5400 | recreation@portlandmaine.gov



 Page 110
The Water Lantern Festival is a “leave no trace” event. Not only do we pick up the lanterns, but
we pick up all of the trash we can find along the way. Lanterns are 100% biodegradable. They
are made from rice paper and wood. Trash cans and recycling bins will be dispersed
throughout the venue. Staff are on trash duty throughout the event and will continue to gather
garbage after participants have gone home for the evening.

RECOVERY PROCEDURES PLAN

The Recovery Procedures Plan for the One World Lantern Festival consists of three separate
phases:

Phase 1: During and immediately after the lantern launch. Phase 2: Two to three hours post
launch. Phase 3: The morning after the lantern launch.

1 - DURING AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE LAUNCH

We will station a lantern spotter in the water (on an inflatable boat) where they will have good
visibility of the lantern area. They will be equipped with walkie talkies and collection bins. Our
team will remain in that general area for the duration of the launch. They will begin the cleanup
of lanterns immediately with event volunteers. All lanterns will be released onto a buoyed,
contained portion of the water.

2 - TWO TO THREE HOURS POST LAUNCH

The crew will be cleaning up at the venue until at least midnight. We will keep a spotter
stationed while we clean up the festival and surrounding area. We will pull the buoy line in
from each side to corral the lanterns. We will then send crew members and volunteers to the
shoreline to assist in gathering the lanterns. We will retrieve and dispose of every lantern, and
any additional trash that we see.

3 - MORNING AFTER THE LAUNCH

We will arrive back at the venue in the morning with our internal crew of about 6 people. We
will scour the water and the staging area and to ensure that no lanterns or trash remain.

SAFETY

Safety of our guests, partners, and staff is our top priority. We are committed to providing a
safe and enjoyable event experience for everyone involved and during every aspect of the
event. Our core team is very experienced in event production and understands the importance
of “Safety First”.

 Page 111
 All staff and volunteers are trained on lantern assembly and launch. Trained staff are assigned
specific areas. Lanterns are 100% biodegradable and are made from rice paper and wood. One
World Lantern Festival is a fully insured event. Parking and traffic flow patterns with
directional signs in appropriate locations. Drugs and alcohol are not allowed at the event.



PRE-LAUNCH

A majority of the Water Lantern Festival guests arrive at the venue between 5:00 PM and 6:00
PM. They bring camp chairs and blankets, and find a spot in the festival area after ticketing to
relax and listen to music and enjoy the atmosphere. They purchase snacks from food trucks,
play games, and write on their lanterns with provided markers. Portable toilets are available
for use.

THE LAUNCH

The launch will begin during the sunset. The launch window will last anywhere from 60-90
minutes.

POST LAUNCH

Approximately half of the participants leave quickly after the initial launch. The remaining
participants enjoy the winding down music and trickle out by the end of the designated event
time. We ask and encourage all participants to pick up any trash they see and dispose of it in
the numerous trash cans dispersed throughout the festival area.

The Order should include the following items:

The Water Lantern Festival will be authorized for September 5th, 2026 at Deering Oaks Park.

This festival area will be closed to street vendors pursuant to Section 19-17 of the Portland City
Code and is reserved for the use of festival organizers for the purpose of conducting the Water
Lantern Festival, subject to the direction and control of the City Manager.

In order to hold the events on city property, some areas of the parking lane on Tennis Court Road
(directly beside the park), need to be posted “No Parking” on event days. Vehicles in violation of
the “No Parking” signs shall be towed at owner’s expense.

The City Manager is authorized to issue a revocable permit under Section 25-27 of the
Municipal Code to the Friends of Congress Square Park for the use of the above-described area
for said Festival subject to the following conditions:

 and against all claims arising out of activities during said Festival, and shall take
 out and maintain public liability insurance coverage in the amount of at least
 $400,000 per occurrence for personal or bodily injury, death or property damage
 for said purpose. This insurance certificate will also list the City of Portland as an

 Under no circumstances may alcoholic beverages be consumed or sold on the

 and be configured by the event organizer to focus volume away from residential
 housing and neighboring businesses, limiting any sound impacts in the area; and

The City Manager is also authorized to issue such other temporary licenses, including licenses
for food service establishments, as may be required by the Portland City Code, provided that all
other applicable requirements of said Code have been met regarding the operation of said
Festival/Event.

Mayor Dion and Members of the Portland City Council:

On behalf of the Portland Board of Public Education, I and Superintendent Ryan
Scallon present our recommended fiscal year 2027 (FY27) budget for the Portland
Public Schools to you, in accordance with the City Charter.

This $179.3 million proposal for 2026-2027 is the culmination of a months-long
collaborative process involving staff, families and community stakeholders.

The theme of this year’s budget, "On Course for Student Success," reflects a pivotal
moment for the Portland Public Schools. We are currently in the second year of
implementing our five-year Strategic Plan, "One District, One Plan." Our plan calls for
keeping equity at the center, strengthening achievement, supporting the whole
student, investing in our people, and building effective systems that sustain
excellence.

This budget is designed to maintain and grow the academic and other
social-emotional gains we have achieved under this plan while pursuing operational
efficiencies and other savings to mitigate the impact on Portland taxpayers.

The Strategic Case for Investment

Two years ago, this district launched a commitment to keep equity at the center of
every decision. We are now seeing the measurable return on that investment. Recent
data confirms improved outcomes in both reading and math, with significant growth
among economically disadvantaged students, multilingual learners and students
with individualized education programs (IEPs).

Beyond academics, chronic absenteeism has decreased in the last year and we’ve
had fewer incidents of student suspensions. Fewer students are missing school or
being removed from class—more students are engaged in learning.

These gains are not isolated successes. They reflect the efforts of everyone in our
District, from custodians to HR analysts, teachers to principals, and everyone else
focused on improving experiences and outcomes for students. They demonstrate
that our Strategic Plan is delivering results.

 Page 166
This budget maintains the core of that progress:

In Achievement, this budget invests in high-quality instructional materials for
secondary math. We are prepared to adopt a new, research-aligned program that
ensures all students have access to rigorous, grade-level tasks.

This budget allows us to expand early literacy support by adding education
technicians to first grade in three schools. This year, we piloted early literacy
education technicians in our Title I kindergarten classes—and early data shows
increased progress monitoring and positive academic trends.

We are also supporting development of a Local Black History curriculum, building on
our leadership in Wabanaki Studies, so that students see themselves reflected in
what they learn. This budget includes a half-time staff member to support the
development of the Black History curriculum, while the Foundation for Portland
Public Schools has committed to paying for any related non-personnel expenses.

In Whole Student, we are expanding pre-kindergarten and preparing to assume
responsibility for early childhood special education services for four-year-olds, as
required by the state. This budget includes a $5.1 million investment, expected to be
fully reimbursed by the state, and consequently at no cost to the District. Early
intervention strengthens kindergarten readiness and long-term academic
outcomes.

In Equity and People, we are proposing to extend leadership dedicated to student,
family, and community engagement and we’re budgeting for an equity audit and
Civil Rights Officer. We are investing in leadership development and expanding
tuition reimbursement and ESOL credentialing to strengthen instructional capacity.

In Systems, our budget will continue work on financial transparency and facilities
planning, increasing school supply budgets using an equity-based formula and
advancing the MainePERS reconciliation to ensure fiscal accountability.

Navigating Fiscal Challenges: Reductions & Revisions

The development of the FY27 budget was marked by significant fiscal pressures.
Under the state’s Essential Programs and Services (EPS) formula, Portland faces a
$4.1 million decrease in state funding in FY27. This reduction is largely driven by two
factors: a decrease in student enrollment and a significant increase in the city’s
overall property values.

On a slightly more upbeat note, we learned that Portland will receive an additional
$420,000 for FY27 that is included in the state supplemental budget that the
Legislature recently passed. However, it’s not enough to offset such a large loss in
revenue under EPS, and while the Legislature has now approved changes in the



 4
 Page 167
formula, the earliest that Portland will see any positive impact from the EPS revisions
will be FY28.

Less state funding means more of a burden on City taxpayers. Recognizing this, both
the Board’s Finance Committee and the full Board worked tirelessly to identify
savings that would minimize the tax impact while maintaining and investing in
student services.

Taxpayer Impact and Community Stewardship

We on the Board are deeply sensitive to the fact that school funding is a shared
community responsibility. Every amendment made during the budget process was
viewed through the lens of balancing student needs with the financial reality of
Portland residents.

For FY27, just as we did for FY25 and F26, we are presenting to you a budget with the
entire picture—including not only local funds, but grants, Title funds (federal
supplemental funds to school districts to assist schools with the highest student
concentrations of poverty in meeting educational goals), and the state
reimbursement for early childhood special education.

The Board’s recommended budget of $179.3 million consists of a local budget of $167
million and $12.3 million in additional funds. If approved, this would result in an
estimated 5.68 percent increase in the school portion of the property tax rate. For the
owner of a median-priced $566,600 home, the budget would raise property taxes by
$201.60 per year or $16.80 per month.

Conclusion

This budget represents a balanced, honest approach in a difficult fiscal year. It calls
for the most efficient use of our resources while continuing to maintain and
strengthen the gains our students have made in the past two years.

We ask the City Council to support this budget and send it to Portland voters for final
approval on June 9. Together, we can ensure that Portland’s public schools remain
on course for success, providing the high-quality education our students deserve
and that our community expects.

Respectfully submitted,

Sarah Lentz, Chair

  Fiscal Year 2027
Roll Forward Budget




 20
 Page 183
To begin our FY27 budgeting process, we established a Roll Forward Budget. This
represented a baseline - the cost of maintaining our current programs, staffing levels,
and services into the next school year. By quantifying our existing obligations first,
we ensured a transparent foundation before considering any new investments.

Key Drivers of the Baseline:

 • Personnel & Benefits: We maintained current staffing levels, accounting
 only for contractual salary obligations and a projected 9% increase in
 healthcare costs.
 • Operational Efficiency: Non-personnel expenses were capped at 2%, with
 targeted adjustments only for inflation-sensitive expenditures.
 • Debt Service: We realized a significant $2.7M savings from the retirement
 of our pension bond.
 • Revenue: We held revenue flat with the exception of a $478k reduction in
 grant funding.
 • Fund Balance: We held General Ed fund balance usage at the FY26 level of
 $3.9 million and eliminated fund balance reliance in our Adult Ed and Food
 Service programs to ensure their long-term sustainability.

Based on these assumptions, expenditures would see a 2.7% increase over FY26 and
the resulting baseline tax levy increase was projected to be 3.51%.
Since establishing this roll forward budget, we incorporated strategic requests from
school leaders and department heads. With the unanticipated reduction in State
funding due to dthe EPS formula, we carefully made reductions to ensure the final
budget is both fiscally responsible and focused on our strategic goals.

 The FY27 budget includes new investments in early
childhood education, secondary math curriculum, and reading
  support at elementary schools. There also are increases in
 expenses for employees salaries and benefits and
  inflation-driven higher costs for goods and services. Debt
 service decreased as a result of pension obligation bonds
 expiring in FY26.

• Teacher additional pay, stipends, substitute teacher pay, and other temporary salaries were re-allocated based on FY25 actuals and
  equitable distribution based on enrolled students. Across the district these temporary salaries remained relatively flat but due to this
  re-allocation, individual schools may see larger increases or decreases.
• Across the district an additional 5 percent was added for school supplies. However, an equitable funding formula was used that
  considered the number of enrolled students, students with IEPs, low-income students, and multilingual students so individual
  schools may see higher or lower increases.
• Operational supplies budgets increased across many of our buildings due to the rising costs of utilities.

Hi Portland City Council! I hear you’re voting tonight about whether to clarify/strengthen the rules
about city staff not collaborating with ICE. I’m an East End resident, and I want to say that I strongly
support reinforcing restrictions on collaboration with immigration enforcement, and I’m asking the
council to please vote in favor.

I think everyone knows the tension we felt as a community during the surge. Even if you never knew
or saw anyone who was abducted, even if you felt removed from the dehumanizing actions of federal
agents, you must have felt the fear. It was in the air. It clarified that we really didn’t know whether
perceived protections from state enacted violence would hold. As I understand it, the vote tonight is
about shoring up those protections.

I think it’s essential to 1) take a stand as a city and speak up for the protection of our community, 2)
provide and empower workers with a clear cut understanding of their rights and their right and
obligation to refuse entry or otherwise not cooperate with federal agencies, 3) make clear to the
community that incidents like the texts between ICE and PPD are unacceptable and an egregious
betrayal of trust.

ICE is still here, still taking people; the surge might be over but the presence is still felt. The absences
are still felt.

Thanks for your time, please do the right thing vote for Order 180-25/26 Amendment to Portland City
Code Chapter 2 RE: Immigration Enforcement.

Dear City Councillors and Mayor Dion,

I would like to voice my support for the proposed amendment. ICE has long used extrajudicial means
to harass communities--a practice that has only been increased in the current administration. I would,
however, like to propose an addition to section 2-2, proposing the Portland Police Department's digital
infrastructure be examined for potential avenues of data leaks, especially in regards to companies
such as AXON. As seen in the texts between Police Major Jason King and an agent from ICE, the
PPD has the resources to install and access cameras designed for surveilling civilian populations
without a warrant. As the council recently approved the purchase of a drone for PPD from AXON, I
would recommend an official look be taken at potential data leaks to said company.

The Department of Homeland Security has a $31.2 million contract with AXON for body cameras as
well as software for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement–meaning they are integrated into the
AI-powered surveillance network that AXON has been building. A network that captures and stores
footage from drones, license plate readers, and public cameras. A network that could allow them to
acquire footage in other interactions with Axon’s Software, such as the report assistance tool, Draft
One, which uses police body-cam footage and AI to help write police reports. While it has been
reported by News Center Maine that both the Cumberland County Sheriff's Department and Portland
Police use Draft One, I have heard from officers that use of this program has been discontinued.

Use of software provided by AXON as well as by companies such as FLOCK could be creating
unknowing cooperation between the city of Portland or the PPD with ICE. I would like to remind the
council that a class action lawsuit has been filed against the department of homeland security after an
ICE agent took a photo of a Maine resident, their license plate and stated “we have a nice little
database and now you’re considered a domestic terrorist.”

Please consider an amendment to this amendment that would ensure mass surveillance tools are not
used to target new Mainers or those who wish to keep them safe.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS Mayor Dion, City Manager West, and Members of the City Council,
Chip Leighton
 My name is Annika Moore, and I am writing on behalf of Preble Street to urge you to
 President
 support Order 180-25/26, which prohibits City employees and officials from assisting
Yemaya St. Clair
 federal agents with immigration enforcement.
 Vice President
Joann Bautista
 Secretary
 The Portland Police Department’s current policy is not to collaborate with federal
Justin Rosner immigration enforcement. This commitment will also be reflected in state law this
 Treasurer summer, when LD 1971, An Act to Protect Workers in This State by Clarifying the
Becca Asen Relationship of State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies with Federal Immigration
Terry Davies Authorities, takes effect. Order 180-25/26 would extend this protection across all City
Chris Ellingwood departments, creating consistency and providing all employees with clear guidance on
Lauren Gauthier how to interact with federal immigration enforcement.
Joe Ingream
Christopher Pyne This policy would also ensure that sensitive information shared with City of Portland
John Roberts employees remains confidential, except in cases of serious criminal investigations.
Elaine Rosen Portland residents should be able to access City facilities and services without fear
Maurice A. Selinger III that their private information will be shared unless required by law.
Terry Sutton
Jay Tansey Order 180-25/26 will allow City employees to focus on meeting the needs of our
Lannie Welch community and prevent local resources from being used in ways that don’t reflect
 local priorities. Preble Street urges you to pass this critical policy.
Mark R. Swann
  Executive Director Thank you for your time and consideration.

 MEMORANDUM
 City Council Agenda Item

FROM: Emily Bolt, Project Engineer
DATE: April 14, 2026
SUBJECT: Order 202-25/26 Approving Cooperative Agreement Between the City of Portland
 and the Maine Department of Transportation RE: Improvements to Brighton Avenue
 - Sponsored by Danielle P. West, City Manager
SPONSOR: Danielle West, City Manager
(If sponsored by a Council committee, include the date the committee met and the results of the vote.)
COUNCIL MEETING DATE ACTION IS REQUESTED:
1st Reading 5/5/2026 Final Action 5/18/2026
Can action be taken at a later date: No
Does this item involve a new contract with the City: They have been contacted

PRESENTATION: N/A
I. SUMMARY
The City Council is being asked to approve the attached Urban Partnership Initiative (UPI) for
Brighton Ave to improve sidewalks, crosswalks, and overall pedestrian accessibility and safety.
II. AGENDA DESCRIPTION
This project will improve approximately 0.5 miles of Brighton Avenue sidewalks, crosswalks, and bus stops
from William Street to Craigie Street. The City’s recommendation is to reconstruct sidewalks to ADA
compliance on both sides of Brighton Ave while also upgrading the crosswalks and the bus stops.

This item must be read on two separate days. This is its first reading.
III. BACKGROUND
This section of Brighton Ave has sidewalks in poor condition including stretches that are non-
ADA compliant. Along with a mismatch of sidewalk material, poor crosswalk facilities, a lack
of multi-modal travel options, and with community centers such as Dougherty Field, Kiwanis
Community Pool, and a community garden in the area, a reconstruction of the sidewalks are
needed. Using a UPI to match up to half the costs, a larger section of Brighton Ave can be
worked on at one time to provide a cohesive project, covering more facilities and reaching more
destinations than normally possible.
IV. INTENDED RESULT AND/OR COUNCIL GOAL ADDRESSED
The Brighton Ave UPI will improve pedestrian accessibility on an arterial road. This 0.5 mile
long corridor, that sees 15,000 vehicles a day, has multiple community destinations that need to
be accessed by all modes of transportation. This will also improve safety in a known High Crash
Location and a Critical Safety Corridor.
V. FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City is obligated to pay 50% of the total project, which would be $350,000. MaineDOT,
using state funding, will be paying the rest of the project costs, which would be $350,000.
VI. STAFF ANALYSIS AND BACKGROUND




 Page 326
Brighton Ave is a principal arterial. This road services an AADT of 15,000 vehicles per day.
This area in particular is also a High Crash Location, a MaineDOT metric, as two pedestrians
were struck and injured in the last ten years. It is also classified as a Critical Safety Corridor, a
GPCOG metric. On September 25, 2025 PACTS Policy Board approved the prioritized list of
2026 UPI projects, including Brighton Ave.
VII. RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Public Works recommends approving and signing this UPI.

 Additional Information:
 Scope of Work
 Describe the scope of work of the project, including the type of work (e.g. pedestrian
 accessibility, bicycle infrastructure, traffic calming, paving, drainage, etc.) to be completed.
This project is primarily a pedestrian accessibility project that will improve both sides of
an approximately 0.50 mile long corridor along Brighton Avenue.
This project abuts MaineHealth Brighton Campus, a community garden, Dougherty
Field, Kiwanis Community Pool, as well as several local businesses.
The road has an AADT of 15,000 vehicles a day making it an extremely busy road that
can be hazardous to pedestrians. The portion of Brighton Avenue between Douglass
St and St John St (captured within the scope of this project) is classified as a High
Crash Location. In the past ten years, two pedestrians were struck and injured along
this section of Brighton Avenue. As such, this corridor is classified as a Critical Safety
Corridor in GPCOG’s Vision Zero mapping.

 PACTS 2026 Urban Partnership Initiative (UPI) Project Application

 Project Signiﬁcance
 Why is this project signiﬁcant for your community? What solutions does this project aim to
 achieve? Please explain.
As a pedestrian corridor along an urban principal it is paramount to keep the
pedestrian facilities safe and accessible for everybody. This project will upgrade all of
the sidewalk that is not ADA compliant and in poor condition. Currently there are long
stretches of sidewalk in this location that are in very poor condition, most notably the
sections of sidewalk adjacent to bus stops and several businesses.

 How will the project improve conditions for transportation users of all modes?
As a pedestrian corridor along an urban principal arterial roadway it is paramount to
keep the pedestrian facilities safe and accessible for everybody. This project aims to
achieve a safe accessible multimodal corridor for pedestrians and transit users of all
ability levels. These improvements will also help maintenance crews with snow
removal and winter maintenance which will allow pedestrians to utilize these facilities
in all seasons.
 Alignment with PACTS Principles
 Is the project aligned with any of the goals identiﬁed in Connect 2045? Please explain.
This project will improve conditions for all transportation mode users by creating ADA-compliant sidewalks, ramps and bus stops improving the
pedestrian corridor. The existing condition of these sidewalks are rated very poorly according to a 2019 survey of the City of Portland’s sidewalks.
The METRO Bus Route 4 has several stops along the proposed project. By improving the condition of the sidewalk along this corridor, we will increase
accessibility for pedestrians as well as transit riders.

This work aligns with all of the Connect 2045 Goals - by improving the sidewalk we are providing equitable access to all regardless of purpose,
destination, or form of travel. This work is also improving safety by providing complete infrastructure and supporting great places due to the adjacent
businesses, healthcare facilities, and parks and recreation facilities. Lastly, by improving pedestrian and bus facilities we are expanding choices for
people to use alternative modes of transportation such as walking and buses which also help protect the environment by reducing emissions.



 Is the project aligned with any of the goals and principles of the PACTS Complete Streets Policy?
 Please explain.
This project is aligned with the PACTS Complete Streets policy, as well as the City’s
Complete Street policy as it will further enable safe, convenient, and comfortable travel
and access for users of all ages and abilities. As stated above, the project meets the
Connect 2045 goals which are very similar to the Complete Streets Policy goals such
as improving safety, accessibility, combating climate change, and providing access to
all types of users.
Has the project received council endorsement? Which council endorsed the project and when? If
 not, when is the endorsement expected? Note: endorsement of the project is required prior to
 funding or signing any agreement.
As Council Endorsement is typically done through the Capital Improvement funding
request, that step will happen in the Spring of the construction year. We also must
receive Council Approval as part of the agreement process. This is expected to
happen in Spring 2026.

 Project Eligibilities
 Projects funded through the Urban Partnership Initiative (UPI) must meet MaineDOT’s Municipal
 Partnership Initiative (MPI) eligibility criteria, which are;

Professional Engineer Certiﬁed: Unless waived by MaineDOT’s Chief Engineer, all projects must
be designed by an engineer licensed in the state of Maine. Once the project is constructed, the
engineer of record must certify that it was constructed in accordance with the plans and
speciﬁcations and MPI requirements.
10-Year Useful Life: Unless waived by MaineDOT’s Chief Engineer, the work must have a
minimum 10-year useful life.
Deliverability: Procurement and construction are administered by the municipality. In which
case, the municipality must demonstrate to MaineDOT it has the ability or can obtain the ability to
administer the project. Construction must commence within eighteen (18) months and
construction must be certiﬁed complete in thirty-six (36) months from inclusion in the MaineDOT
Work Plan. In the event that a project is not delivered within the three years, the project will be
cancelled, and the state funding will be applied/rolled over to the next year of UPI funding.
Public Involvement: The municipality is responsible for leading the public involvement process
consistent with all laws, including Maine’s Sensible Transportation Policy Act. The value and
extent of documented municipality support will be considered a project beneﬁt.
Betterment of the State Transportation System: The work covered must be a betterment of the
state transportation system. The MPI is not intended to fund improvements required as a
condition to a Highway Opening Permit or mitigation for a Traffic Movement Permit.
(Improvements required by a Traffic Movement permit may be eligible for MaineDOT’s Business
Partnership Initiative funding.)
Multiple Party Agreements: The municipality and all involved parties must be willing to enter
into a Municipal Partnership Agreement whereby the MPI grant amount is capped based on
project estimates at the time of MPI application submittal. Future roadway maintenance should
remain the same unless a change is negotiated between MaineDOT and the municipality.
Municipal Right-of-Way Acquisition: MPI grants will only reimburse for the right of way required
for the transportation betterment. Most projects are expected to be within existing right of way;
however, the municipality may be asked to secure any needed property rights in accordance with
all applicable state and federal law. Municipalities shall be prepared to convey acquired rights to
MaineDOT upon completion of the project.

PRESENTATION: N/A
I. SUMMARY
The City Council is being asked to approve the attached Urban Partnership Initiative (UPI) for
Forest Ave to improve sidewalks, crosswalks, and overall pedestrian accessibility and safety.
II. AGENDA DESCRIPTION
This project will improve approximately 0.5 miles of Forest Avenue sidewalks, crosswalks, and bus stops from
Morrill Street to Walton Street. The City’s recommendation is to reconstruct sidewalks to ADA compliance on
both sides of Forest Ave while also upgrading the crosswalks and the bus stops.

This item must be read on two separate days. This is its first reading.
III. BACKGROUND
This section of Forest Ave has sidewalks in poor condition including stretches that are non-ADA
compliant. Along with poor crosswalk facilities, a lack of multi-modal travel options, and with
numerous businesses on this stretch, a reconstruction of the sidewalks is needed. Using a UPI to
match up to half the costs, a larger section of Forest Ave can be worked on at one time to provide
a cohesive project, covering more facilities and reaching more destinations than normally
possible
IV. INTENDED RESULT AND/OR COUNCIL GOAL ADDRESSED
The Forest Ave UPI will improve pedestrian accessibility on an arterial road. This 0.5 mile long
corridor, that sees 18,000 vehicles a day, has multiple businesses that need to be accessed by all
modes of transportation. This will also improve safety in a known High Crash Location and a
Critical Safety Corridor.
V. FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City is obligated to pay 50% of the total project, which would be $372,250. MaineDOT,
using state funding, will be paying the rest of the project costs, which would be $372,250.
VI. STAFF ANALYSIS AND BACKGROUND
Forest Ave is a principal arterial. This road services an AADT of 18,000 or more vehicles per
day. This area in particular is also a High Crash Location, a MaineDOT metric, as eight


 Page 338
pedestrians were struck and injured in the last ten years. It is also classified as a Critical Safety
Corridor, a GPCOG metric. On September 25, 2025 PACTS Policy Board approved the
prioritized list of 2026 UPI projects, including Forest Ave.

 Scope of Work
 Describe the scope of work of the project, including the type of work (e.g. pedestrian
 accessibility, bicycle infrastructure, traffic calming, paving, drainage, etc.) to be completed.
This project is primarily a pedestrian accessibility project that will improve both sides of
an approximately 0.50 mile long corridor along Forest Avenue just north of the Walton
Street intersection to the Morrill Street intersection. This project directly abuts several
local businesses, and a 215-unit independent senior living residence. The road has an
AADT of 18,000+ vehicles a day making it an extremely busy road that can be
hazardous to pedestrians. A portion of this part of Forest Avenue is classified by the
MaineDOT as a High Crash Location, with a Critical Rate Factor of 2.18. In the past
ten years, eight pedestrians were struck and injured along this section of Forest
Avenue. As such, this corridor is classified as a Critical Safety Corridor in GPCOG’s
Vision Zero mapping.

This project will upgrade all of the sidewalk that is not ADA compliant and in poor
condition, the pedestrian ramps as well as improve 2 mid-block crossings along this
corridor.
Currently there are long stretches of sidewalk in this location that are in very poor
condition, most notably the sections of sidewalk adjacent to several businesses.

 Project Signiﬁcance
 Why is this project signiﬁcant for your community? What solutions does this project aim to
 achieve? Please explain.
As a pedestrian corridor along an urban principal it is paramount to keep the pedestrian facilities
safe and accessible for everybody. This project directly abuts several local businesses, a 216-unit
independent senior living residence and other single-family homes.
This project aims to achieve a safe accessible multimodal corridor for pedestrians and transit
users of all ability levels. These improvements will also help maintenance crews with snow
removal and winter maintenance.

 How will the project improve conditions for transportation users of all modes?
This project will improve conditions for all transportation mode users by creating ADA-compliant
sidewalks, ramps and mid-block crossings improving the pedestrian corridor. The existing
condition of these sidewalks are rated very poorly according to a 2019 survey of the City of
Portland’s sidewalks.
The METRO Bus Route 2 has several stops along the proposed project. By improving the
condition of the sidewalk along this corridor, we will increase accessibility for pedestrians as well
as transit riders.
 Alignment with PACTS Principles
 Is the project aligned with any of the goals identiﬁed in Connect 2045? Please explain.
This project aligns with goals identified in Connect 2045. This project Supports Great Places due to its proximity
to parks and other communal spaces. By increasing pedestrian access, we are creating a more welcoming
environment for non-car travelers. This Improves Safety and Protects Environment by promoting alternative
modes of transportation thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Improving ADA compliant ramps and
revitalizing the sections of sidewalks that are in very poor condition Improves Safety and creates Equitable
Access as well as Expanding Choices. This area of Portland is classified as a block group where over 51% of
residents are considered low-income; improving this area will have a direct impact to these people and Provides
Equitable Access.
 Is the project aligned with any of the goals and principles of the PACTS Complete Streets Policy?
 Please explain.
This project is aligned with the PACTS Complete Streets policy, as well at the City’s Complete
Street policy as it will further enable safe, convenient, and comfortable travel and access for users
of all ages and abilities. This project will not only improve the accessibility and usability of existing
pedestrian infrastructure, but it will also upgrade two mid-block crossings at this location and
increase pedestrian visibility to drivers on Forest Avenue.
The road itself is under DOT jurisdiction and has been designated for a potential paving candidate
in coming years for a street rehabilitation project.
Has the project received council endorsement? Which council endorsed the project and when? If
 not, when is the endorsement expected? Note: endorsement of the project is required prior to
 funding or signing any agreement.
As Council Endorsement is typically done through the Capital Improvement funding
request, that step will happen in the Spring of the construction year. We also must
receive Council Approval as part of the agreement process. This is expected to
happen in Spring 2026.

 Project Eligibilities
 Projects funded through the Urban Partnership Initiative (UPI) must meet MaineDOT’s Municipal
 Partnership Initiative (MPI) eligibility criteria, which are;

Professional Engineer Certiﬁed: Unless waived by MaineDOT’s Chief Engineer, all projects must
be designed by an engineer licensed in the state of Maine. Once the project is constructed, the
engineer of record must certify that it was constructed in accordance with the plans and
speciﬁcations and MPI requirements.
10-Year Useful Life: Unless waived by MaineDOT’s Chief Engineer, the work must have a
minimum 10-year useful life.
Deliverability: Procurement and construction are administered by the municipality. In which
case, the municipality must demonstrate to MaineDOT it has the ability or can obtain the ability to
administer the project. Construction must commence within eighteen (18) months and
construction must be certiﬁed complete in thirty-six (36) months from inclusion in the MaineDOT
Work Plan. In the event that a project is not delivered within the three years, the project will be
cancelled, and the state funding will be applied/rolled over to the next year of UPI funding.
Public Involvement: The municipality is responsible for leading the public involvement process
consistent with all laws, including Maine’s Sensible Transportation Policy Act. The value and
extent of documented municipality support will be considered a project beneﬁt.
Betterment of the State Transportation System: The work covered must be a betterment of the
state transportation system. The MPI is not intended to fund improvements required as a
condition to a Highway Opening Permit or mitigation for a Traffic Movement Permit.
(Improvements required by a Traffic Movement permit may be eligible for MaineDOT’s Business
Partnership Initiative funding.)
Multiple Party Agreements: The municipality and all involved parties must be willing to enter
into a Municipal Partnership Agreement whereby the MPI grant amount is capped based on
project estimates at the time of MPI application submittal. Future roadway maintenance should
remain the same unless a change is negotiated between MaineDOT and the municipality.
Municipal Right-of-Way Acquisition: MPI grants will only reimburse for the right of way required
for the transportation betterment. Most projects are expected to be within existing right of way;
however, the municipality may be asked to secure any needed property rights in accordance with
all applicable state and federal law. Municipalities shall be prepared to convey acquired rights to
MaineDOT upon completion of the project.

 TERMS AND CONDITIONS
This Master Lease Agreement (“Master Lease”) sets forth terms and conditions that will be applicable to equipment leasing transactions that may be entered into
from time to time by Lessee and Lessor if they enter into one or more Schedules that incorporate the terms of this Master Lease. This Master Lease is not a
commitment by Lessor to enter into any Schedule and nothing in this Master Lease shall impose, or be construed to impose, any obligation upon Lessor to enter
into any proposed Schedule. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Master Lease and a Schedule, the provisions of such Schedule will control.
Lessee and Lessor agree, for good and valuable consideration and intending to be legally bound, as follows:
1. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. The following capitalized terms used herein will be defined as follows: “Equipment” means the equipment and other property
described on the applicable Schedule, as well as any attachments, accessories, accessions, replacements, replacement parts, substitutions, additions,
upgrades, exchanges and repairs to the equipment and other property and shall also be deemed to include any embedded software that otherwise falls within
the definition of “Goods” under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”). “Fair Market Value” of the Equipment means an amount estimated by us
that may reasonably be expected for an installed and in-use property in an equitable exchange between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither under any
compulsion to buy or sell, both aware of all relevant facts, and assuming the Equipment is in the condition required by the applicable Lease. “Lessee” means the
party or parties who sign this Master Lease as Lessee. Each party that signs below as Lessee agrees that its liability in connection with the Master Lease (and
any Schedules hereunder) shall be joint and several. The Lessee may be referred to herein as “you” and “your”. “Lessor” means the party signing as Lessor
on this Master Lease and applicable Schedule or any of its affiliates signing as Lessor on the applicable Schedule, and may be referred to herein as “we”, “us”,
and “our”. “Person” means any individual, corporation, business trust, association, company, partnership, joint venture, or other entity. “QFC Obligations”
means obligations arising under a securities contract, commodities contract, forward contract, repurchase agreement, swap agreement, or any similar
agreement (as defined for purposes of Treasury Part 148 under 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D) or FDIC Part 371 under 12 U.S.C. 1821(e)(8)(D)) that the FDIC
determines by regulation, resolution, or order to be a qualified financial contract. “Schedule” means any schedule signed by Lessee and Lessor that
incorporates the terms of this Master Lease, each of which will constitute a separate contract between Lessee and Lessor and shall be referred to as a
“Lease”. “Stipulated Loss Value” means the sum of: (i) all past due and current Payments; (ii) the present value of (A) all remaining Payments, and (B) the
amount of the purchase option price or final purchase payment set forth in the applicable Schedule, or if no purchase option price or final purchase payment is
specified or if the purchase option price is Fair Market Value, then the anticipated end of Term Fair Market Value of the affected item(s) of Equipment, discounted
at 2% per annum; and (iii) all other amounts due under the Lease.
2. COMMENCEMENT. The commencement of a Lease (the “Commencement Date”) will be the date that you satisfy all pre-conditions to the Lease, as
determined by us, or any later date that we designate. Without limiting the foregoing, we may, in our sole discretion, require that you verify your acceptance of
the Equipment either by telephone or by delivery to us of an executed certificate of acceptance. If you signed a purchase order or similar agreement for the
purchase of the Equipment, by signing a Schedule you assign to us all of your rights, but none of your obligations under it. If, for any reason: (i) the
manufacturer, supplier, wholesaler, or other vendor of the Equipment (any, a “Supplier”) fails to deliver, or delays the delivery of, the Equipment; or (ii) the
Equipment is unsatisfactory upon delivery or at any time thereafter, you agree that we are not liable, and you will not make any claim against us for damages or
for specific performance of such Lease. If the Equipment includes any non-embedded software: (i) we do not own the software and do not provide any software
licenses, (ii) you are responsible for obtaining any software license related to any software that is part of or used in connection with the Equipment from the
owners or licensors of such software, (iii) you shall comply with the terms of all such licenses if any, and (iv) any default by you under any such software licenses
shall also constitute a default by you under all Leases.
3. LEASE PAYMENTS. You agree to remit all payments under each Lease (“Payments”) in U.S. dollars to the address or account designated by us from time to
time. Unless indicated otherwise in the Schedule, your Payments are due in arrears and your first payment date will be one month from the Commencement Date,
and subsequent payments shall be due on that same day of each month thereafter, unless such day does not exist for the applicable month, in which case it will
be the last day of such month (the “Payment Date”). If you request that your Payment Date start later than one month after the Commencement Date, if we
approve such a request, we may increase your first Payment by 1/30th of the scheduled Payment for each day between the originally scheduled Payment Date
and the re-scheduled Payment Date (the “Additional Days”) and the term of the Schedule will be extended by a number of days equal to the Additional Days. If
there are changes in the type or amount or cost of the Equipment or the calculation of related sales or other taxes, you authorize us to adjust the Payments to
maintain our after tax economic yield and cash flow so long as the change is not more than 15% of the original Payment amount. We may apply all your payments
under a Lease to delinquency charges, Payments, and any other liabilities due and owing under such Lease or under any other agreement, in any order and
manner selected by us. You waive all rights to direct the application of payments made on account of any Lease. We may offset and deduct any of your liabilities
or obligations to us from any sums we owe to you. The financial terms of any Lease may have been determined taking into account fees we have paid to, or
rebates, discounts, subsidies or other compensation or financial benefits (including the ability to fund over time amounts that may be financed hereunder) we have
received from, the Supplier, a broker, or other third party in connection with such Lease. Payments are due on each Payment Date whether or not you receive an
invoice.
4. TAXES. You agree to pay, and indemnify and hold us harmless from all sales, use, rental, property, excise, gross receipts, withholding and other taxes,
charges and fees upon or with respect to the Equipment or the possession, ownership, leasing, use or operation, control or maintenance thereof and relating to
such Lease (or any Payments or other payments), assessed by any governmental entity or taxing authority arising during or with respect to any part of the term,
whether due before or after the end of the term shown on the corresponding Schedule. In connection with the expiration or earlier termination of a Lease, you
agree to pay us any taxes accrued or assessed but not yet due and payable, or our estimate of such amounts.
5. LATE CHARGES. For any payment which is not received within 10 days of its due date, you agree to pay us a late charge equal to the greater of 5% of the
amount due or $35.00 (but in either case, not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law).
6. OWNERSHIP, SECURITY INTEREST, USE, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Schedule, we own the Equipment,
excluding any non-embedded software. If the Lease is a secured transaction, you grant us a security interest in the Equipment and all proceeds thereof to secure
all of your obligations now or hereafter owing to us (except QFC Obligations). In no event shall your obligations under a Lease be secured by any improved real
property, building or mobile home insurable under the National Flood Insurance Program unless the document granting an interest in real property specifically
references the Lease by date, its Schedule number and/or this Master Lease number. You authorize us or our agents to prepare and file, electronically or
 THIS MASTER LEASE INCLUDES THE TERMS ON THE ATTACHED PAGE(S).
 THIS MASTER LEASE SHALL NOT BE EFFECTIVE UNLESS AND UNTIL EXECUTED BY US.
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Lessee and Lessor have caused this Master Lease to be executed by their duly authorized representatives as of the date first
 above written.

electronically, shall constitute the sole original document for all purposes and shall constitute the authoritative record of such Document for the purposes of

 FORM OF OPINION OF CUSTOMER’S COUNSEL

 (PLEASE FURNISH THIS TEXT ON ATTORNEY'S LETTERHEAD)



April 14, 2026

Country Club Enterprises LLC
801 Walnut Street
3rd Floor
Des Moines, IA 50309

Ladies and Gentlemen:

As counsel for Portland, City of (“Customer”), I have examined that certain _______________________________ thereto, each duly executed by Customer
and dated _______________________________ (collectively, the “Agreement”), between Customer and Country Club Enterprises LLC (“Company”), and the
proceedings taken by the governing body of Customer to authorize on behalf of Customer the execution and delivery of the Agreement. Based upon the
foregoing examination and upon an examination of such other documents and matters of law as I have deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with
the execution and delivery of the Agreement by Customer, I am of the opinion that:

1. Customer is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has the requisite power and
 authority to execute and deliver the Agreement and to perform its obligations under the Agreement. The person signing the Agreement (a) has the
 authority to do so, (b) is acting with the full authorization of Customer’s governing body, and (c) holds the office indicated below their signature. The
 signature of the person signing the Agreement is genuine.
2. The Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Customer in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and the
 Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Customer, enforceable against Customer in accordance with its terms, subject to any
 applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other laws or equitable principles affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.
3. The authorization, approval, execution and delivery of the Agreement and all other proceedings of Customer’s governing body relating to the
 transactions contemplated by the Agreement have been performed in accordance with all open meeting laws, public bidding laws and all other applicable
 state laws and all actions, approvals, authorizations and consents necessary to authorize Customer’s execution, delivery and performance of the
 Agreement have occurred or been obtained.
4. No litigation or proceeding is pending or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened to restrain or enjoin the execution, delivery or performance by
 Customer of the Agreement or in any way to contest the validity of the Agreement, to contest or question the creation or existence of Customer or its
 governing body or the authority or ability of Customer to execute or deliver the Agreement or to comply with or perform its obligations thereunder.
 There is no litigation pending or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened seeking to restrain or enjoin Customer from annually appropriating sufficient
 funds to make the payments contemplated by the Agreement.
5. The entering into and performance of the Agreement does not and will not violate any judgment, order, law or regulation applicable to Customer or
 result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon any
 assets of Customer or on the Equipment (as such term is defined in the Agreement) pursuant to any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, bank loan or
 credit agreement or other instrument to which Customer is a party or by which it or its assets may be bound.
6. The Agreement does not constitute a debt of the Customer under applicable state law or a pledge of the tax or general revenues of the Customer, and
 the execution and delivery of the Agreement and the appropriation of monies to pay the payments coming due thereunder do not result in the violation
 of any constitutional, statutory or other limitation relating to the manner, form or amount of indebtedness or liabilities which may be incurred by
 Customer.
7. The Agreement is the complete and exclusive agreement between Customer and Company regarding Customer’s financing of the equipment described
 therein. No other agreements, terms or conditions (including, without limitation, any terms or conditions set out in any solicitation, request for proposal,
 invitation to bid or contract award) are incorporated, by reference or otherwise, into the Agreement.
8. The Customer’s name contained in the Agreement is the Customer’s full, true and correct legal name.
This opinion may be relied upon by purchasers and assignees of Company's interests in the Agreement.

With respect to any electrical systems in the charging facility where the equipment is located which is required to

either by increasing or decreasing it. Doing so may result in voiding the manufacturer’s warranty and/or product
guaranty.
