1.2.2 Instructor will return the facility to the state it was in prior to
Instructor’s class.
1.2.3 If the specified minimum number of students do not enroll in the
class as of the date of class commencement, the class will be cancelled unless the City and
Instructor provide mutual consent to the continuation of the class. So as to provide value to the
students, Instructor shall refrain from enrolling more than the Enrollment Maximum described in
Exhibit “A”, unless at the Instructor’s sole discretion, it is possible to enroll additional students
without compromising the integrity of the class for the other students already enrolled.
1.2.4 Instructor will only utilize storage space at City’s facility to store
Instructor’s materials necessary for the class after receiving written approval and permission from
the facility’s supervisor.
1.2.5 In the event Instructor must cancel any classes, Instructor shall

also notify class enrollees by telephone or email that the class has been cancelled. Only in the event
of an unforeseeable emergency should Instructor provide less than 48 hours advance notice, since
Instructor will need to provide notice of the cancellation to students . If Instructor cancels classes,
then Instructor shall make up the same number of classes cancelled prior to the end of the
respective session, and at a date and time determined by Instructor subject to City facility
availability. Instructor will be liable to City for any Damages incurred by City as described in
Section 3.3 if Instructor fails to make up any cancelled classes, since students have enrolled in and
paid for the class with the expectation of a specific number of class sessions.
1.2.6 If Instructor is unavailable to instruct more than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the scheduled classes, students will be allowed to withdraw from the class and
receive a pro rata refund for the remaining classes not provided by Instructor. Any amounts
refunded under this section will be subtracted from the remaining payment owed to Instructor by
City.
1.2.7 If Instructor is unavailable to provide instruction for a particular
class, Instructor may use a substitute instructor selected by Instructor, provided the substitute
instructors and assistants have been fully vetted and approved by City (including necessary
documents in Section 1.3) to instruct the specified program or activity. The substitute instructor’s
contract must be fully processed and approved by City’s Recreation and Parks Department for the
current fiscal year prior to the substitute instructor providing any instruction services on behalf of
Instructor.
1.2.8 Instructor will provide City’s Recreation and Parks Department
with a list of all employees and any potential substitute instructors Instructor plans to utilize for
Instructor’s class during the Term of this Agreement. Instructor will ensure that prior to utilizing
the services of any Instructor employees or a substitute instructor, City’s Recreation and Parks
Department has approved said individuals to provide services for Instructor.
1.2.9 Instructor will conduct each of Instructor’s responsibilities under
this Agreement at the highest professional standards.

Becoming and Independent Contract Instructor
As an instructor with the City, you are considered an independent contractor with specific professional
skills and expertise in the area in which you are providing instruction. As an independent contractor, you
are in charge of organizing your curriculum and course instruction materials as you deem appropriate.
The City will provide you with a facility to teach your class, coordinate enrollment of your students, and
provide advertising and marketing. The City will not dictate or control the manner in which you organize
or teach your course.
Before teaching classes, potential contract instructors must complete and submit a class proposal form
for approval by the Department. The Department will review proposals and discuss appropriate and
available dates, times, and facilities for the class. Submitting a proposal does not guarantee that the
class or activity will be added to the Department’s class offerings. Additionally, there are no guarantees
the Department will offer a class or program on an on-going basis.
Upon approval of a class proposal, an Agreement for Class Instruction will be completed by the
Department and the instructor and submitted to the City. In addition to the class proposal and
agreement, instructors may need to submit the following:
Completed W9 form
Proof of insurance
Live Scan fingerprints and related criminal background checks
Copy of Instructor’s valid and current City business tax certificate
If needed, proof of current Instructor Certification
If the instruction will be of minors, proof of successful completion of an adult and child CPR and
First Aid class
Proof of workers compensation insurance or a letter stating that the contractor has no
employees
Submitting a Class Proposal
A Class Proposal Form must be completed and submitted for all new classes. The Department may not
accept proposals for classes similar to those already offered or classes offered in the past that have not
been successful. Considerations will be made for instructors who can demonstrate that significant
interest exists for their proposed class.
The proposal from will include:

willing to accept for your services, how many students you can accommodate, class materials and
supplies, and time spent planning and preparing curriculum. Fees must include the cost of all class
materials. No fees should be collected by the instructor directly from the students. The Department can
assist you in determining an appropriate fee for your class and may suggest a minimum fee.

Recreation and Parks facility staff will set up tables, chairs, and other facility equipment prior to class.
Instructors should submit a Facility Setup Request Diagram prior to the first class meeting.
Instructors will have access to the facility at least fifteen minutes and up to thirty minutes prior to and
after class to set up and clean up. Instructors should leave the facility in the condition in which it was

class proposal.
Safety
It is imperative that instructors provide for the safety of their class participants. The City expects that
instructors be well trained in their disciplines and take all possible measures to prevent accidents,
injuries, and damage to property.
All maintenance issues and accidents, injuries, and damage to facility property must be reported to
facility staff immediately.
Instructor’s use of the premises shall be performed in conformance with the State of California and the
Los Angeles County Department of Health orders and standards related to social distancing, the use of
face coverings, cleaning, disinfecting, and other sanitation steps and necessary to limit the spread of the
novel corona virus known as COVID-19, as those standards may be adjusted from time-to-time.

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Rancho Palos Verdes (we, us or Company) may be required by law to
provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and
conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronicall y through the DocuSign
system. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this
information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and Signature
Disclosure (ERSD), please confirm your agreement by selecting the check-box next to ‘I agree to
use electronic records and signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the DocuSign
system.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made av ailable
electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send
to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you
elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time
(usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to
send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a
$0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the
procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to
receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents
from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically

us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
