13.GOVERNING LAW: Venue for any action arising out of or related to this Agreement shall

The rights and obligations of the parties and all interpretation and performance of this Agreement
shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California.
14.DISCLOSURE OF SELF-DEALING TRANSACTIONS
This provision is only applicable if the CONTRACTOR is operating as a corporation (a for-profit
or non-profit corporation) or if during the term of the agreement, the CONTRACTOR changes its status
to operate as a corporation.
Members of the CONTRACTOR’s Board of Directors shall disclose any self-dealing transactions
that they are a party to while CONTRACTOR is providing goods or performing services under this
agreement. A self-dealing transaction shall mean a transaction to which the CONTRACTOR is a party
and in which one or more of its directors has a material financial interest. Members of the Board of
Directors shall disclose any self-dealing transactions that they are a party to by completing and signing a
Self-Dealing Transaction Disclosure Form, attached hereto as Exhibit D and incorporated herein by
reference, and submitting it to the COUNTY prior to commencing with the self-dealing transaction or
immediately thereafter.
15.ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE: The parties agree that this Agreement may be executed by
electronic signature as provided in this section. An “electronic signature” means any symbol or process
intended by an individual signing this Agreement to represent their signature, including but not limited to (1)

affixed or attached to this Agreement (1) is deemed equivalent to a valid original handwritten signature of
the person signing this Agreement for all purposes, including but not limited to evidentiary proof in any

administrative or judicial proceeding, and (2) has the same force and effect as the valid original handwritten
signature of that person. The provisions of this section satisfy the requirements of Civil Code section
1633.5, subdivision (b), in the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act (Civil Code, Division 3, Part 2, Title 2.5,
beginning with section 1633.1). Each party using a digital signature represents that it has undertaken and
satisfied the requirements of Government Code section 16.5, subdivision (a), paragraphs (1) through (5),
and agrees that each other party may rely upon that representation. This Agreement is not conditioned
upon the parties conducting the transactions under it by electronic means and either party may sign this
Agreement with an original handwritten signature.
16.CONSISTENT FEDERAL INCOME TAX POSITION: CONTRACTOR acknowledges that
the JJC has been acquired, constructed, and/or improved (and is situated on land that has been acquired)
using net proceeds of governmental tax-exempt bonds (“Bond-Financed Facility”). CONTRACTOR agrees
that, with respect to this Agreement and the Bond-Financed Facility, CONTRACTOR is not entitled to take,
and shall not take, any position (also known as a “tax position”) with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”)
that is inconsistent with being a “service provider” to the COUNTY, as a “qualified user” with respect to the
Bond-Financed Facility, as “managed property,” as all of those terms are used in IRS Revenue Procedure
2017-13, and to that end, for example, and not as a limitation, CONTRACTOR agrees that CONTRACTOR
shall not, in connection with any federal income tax return that it files with the IRS or any other statement or
information that it provides to the IRS, (a) claim ownership, or that it is a lessee, of any portion of the Bond-
Financed Facility, or (b) claim any depreciation or amortization deduction, investment tax credit, or
deduction for any payment as rent with respect to the Bond-Financed Facility.
17.ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
CONTRACTOR and COUNTY with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all previous
Agreement negotiations, proposals, commitments, writings, advertisements, publications, and
understanding of any nature whatsoever unless expressly included in this Agreement.

Subject: Hostage Situations
Policy Number: 326.0
Page: 1 of 2
Date Originated: April 1, 2004
Authority: Title 15; Section 1327;
California Code of Regulations
Date Revised: February 1, 2008
It is imperative for the safety and security of all persons within Juvenile Justice Campus (JJC)
facilities, as well as for those in the community, that minors are not allowed to leave the secure
confines of the facilities by the taking of a hostage(s). If successful in securing a release
through these means minors would be much more likely in the future to use this practice again
in an attempt to escape the confines of the facilities. This would put those visiting and working
at the JJC at higher level of risk and would jeopardize the safety of the community if the minor
was in fact successful in securing his/her release.
The JJC is a “no-hostage” facility. This means that minors will not be released from custody
under any circumstances due to the taking of a hostage(s). Any staff person taken hostage, no
matter what their rank or status, immediately loses their authority and any orders issued by that
person will not be followed.
I. HOSTAGE SITUATION PROCEDURES
A. If any minor(s) and/or other person(s) in the facility attempt to hold any person hostage,
and they do not respond to verbal commands to stop staff will immediately notify the
Watch Commander. He/she will respond to the location and assess the situation. If a
hostage situation is in progress the Watch Commander will:
1. Summon assistance from other officers as required.
2. Establish a secure perimeter around the hostage takers and allow no one to pass
into it for any reason without authorization. Risks should not be taken that might
allow the taking of additional hostages.
