This extension of a crossing guard service agreement will begin on July 11, 2026 and continue through June 30, 2029.

Below is the cost proposal breakdown for the next three (3) years, including an agreed upon cost of living increase:

Company Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Fiscal Year 2027-2028 Fiscal Year 2028-2029 All City Management

Louis Celaya – Deputy City Manager
City of Agoura Hills
30001 Ladyface Court, Agoura Hills, CA 91301
Dear Mr. Celaya,
As many agencies begin preparing budgets, we would like to confirm our interest in extending our agreement for School Crossing Guard Services through the 2026–2029 school year. Enclosed is a Client Worksheet detailing the updated hourly billing rate and a projection of your annual program cost based on current post locations and service hours.

Each year, we conduct a comprehensive review of the factors that influence the cost of providing a safe and fully compliant School Crossing Guard Program. For the upcoming term, the most significant driver of increased expenses is substantial nationwide increases in insurance premiums. These increases are directly tied to the well‑documented risks associated with crossing‑guard duties.

Recent research found that the job of a crossing guard has become increasingly dangerous and ranks among the top 5 deadliest occupations in the United States. According to a major Associated Press review of nearly 200 police departments, at least 230 school crossing guards across 37 states were struck by vehicles over the past decade, and nearly three dozen were killed.

These realities—documented fatality rates, rising injury claims, and a high‑risk job profile— are directly reflected in the premium increases issued by insurance carriers. As a result, ACMS is experiencing materially higher costs to maintain the essential General Liability and Workers’ Compensation coverage required to operate a safe, compliant, and responsibly insured program.

We remain fully committed to providing a safe, reliable, and professional School Crossing Guard Program for your community. We value our partnership and hope you will find the updated rate both reasonable and necessary to sustain the high safety and coverage standards your program deserves. If you have any questions or need further information, please contact me at (800) 540‑9290.

Thank you for your continued partnership,
Brian Brooks

APPROVE FIRST AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACTOR SERVICES, WITH RON'S MAINTENANCE, INC.,, RELATED TO STORM DRAIN CONNECTOR PIPE SCREEN AND FILTER

INSPECTION/CLEANING SERVICES
On May 1, 2008, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board adopted a resolution incorporating a revised Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for trash in the Malibu Creek Watershed. The Trash TMDL is one of a series of water quality regulations intended to protect municipal and domestic water supplies, groundwater recharge areas, aquatic and wildlife habitats, and both contact and non-contact recreational uses within the watershed. As part of these requirements, the TMDL established a numeric discharge limit of zero trash entering any water body, shoreline, or channel.

To comply with the Trash TMDL, the City installed connector pipe screens and filters in 442 catch basins throughout the City. Regular maintenance of these devices is necessary to ensure optimal performance, prevent trash discharges, and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements.

On February 14, 2024, the City Council awarded a contract to Ron’s Maintenance, Inc. (Ron’s Maintenance) for storm drain connector pipe screen and filter inspection/cleaning services. The agreement is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2026, and includes an option to extend the term for an additional two (2) years.

Based on Ron’s Maintenance’s excellent performance and reliable service, staff recommends approval of the First Amendment to extend the agreement through June 30, 2028.

Consistent with other contract extensions, Ron’s Maintenance is eligible for a rate adjustment based on the California Consumer Price Index (CPI). However, the contractor has agreed to forego any rate increase associated with this amendment.

The proposed Amendment to the Agreement for Contractor Services has been reviewed by the City Attorney and approved as to form.

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed Fiscal Year 2026–2027 Budget includes funding in the Public Works Department's Storm Drain Maintenance Account (010-4525-5520.41) for these services.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully recommends the City Council approve the First Amendment to Agreement for Contractor Services, with Ron’s Maintenance, Inc., related to storm drain connector pipe screen and filter inspection/cleaning services.

APPROVE AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACTOR SERVICES, WITH SCA OF CA, LLC, FOR STREET

SWEEPING SERVICES
On May 12, 2021, the City Council approved an agreement with Clean Street for street sweeping services. In 2023, Clean Street was acquired and merged into Sweeping Corporation of America, now operating as SCA of CA, LLC (SCA), which assumed the agreement. The agreement included an initial three-year term and allowed for up to two one-year extensions, for a maximum total term of five years.

With the current SCA agreement expiring on June 30, 2026, staff is conducting a competitive solicitation process to provide qualified companies an opportunity to submit proposals for the new contract and to ensure the City receives high-quality services in a cost-effective manner.

As with most City contracts and projects, the solicitation process typically provides companies with four weeks to prepare and submit proposals, followed by a two-week evaluation period conducted by a selection committee comprised of City staff.

With street sweeping proposals due on July 16, 2026, staff will require additional time to complete the evaluation process and prepare a contract award recommendation for City Council consideration. As a result, a recommendation will not be presented until the City Council meeting scheduled for August 12, 2026.

To maintain uninterrupted street sweeping services during this interim period, staff contacted SCA regarding a short-term agreement. SCA has agreed to continue providing services at its current rates until a new contract is awarded, thereby avoiding any service disruption.

On June 12, 2024, the City Council approved a reduction in the frequency of street sweeping due to budget constraints. While recognizing the fiscal necessity of the change, the City Council directed staff to monitor program performance and report back if additional sweeping services were warranted.

Since implementation of the reduced sweeping schedule, staff has not identified any adverse impacts to water quality or bicycle lane conditions. Staff also remains highly satisfied with the level of service provided by SCA and has not observed a need for increased sweeping frequency at this time.

The proposed agreement authorizes a total amount not to exceed $30,000 for the term of July 1, 2026, through August 31, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for these services has been allocated in the proposed Fiscal Year 2026–2027 Budget through a combination of Gas Tax Funds (020-4515-5520.21) and Measure W – Local Funds (065-4515-5520.21).

RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully recommends the City Council approve an Agreement for Contractor Services, in the amount of $30,000, to SCA of CA, LLC, for street sweeping services.

SUBJECT:

APPROVE AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACTOR SERVICES, WITH SOLID WASTE SOLUTIONS (SWS),

FOR SOLID WASTE AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Solid Waste Solutions, Inc. (SWS) is the City's current provider of specialized solid waste consulting, regulatory compliance, franchise agreement administration, grant management, and program implementation services.

The current agreement with SWS expires on June 30, 2026. SWS has consistently provided exceptional support to City staff and has successfully assisted the City in maintaining compliance with numerous State solid waste mandates while advancing local sustainability initiatives.

As California continues to impose significant regulatory requirements on local jurisdictions related to waste diversion, organics recycling, edible food recovery, household hazardous waste, construction and demolition debris recycling, and other environmental programs, there is a need for ongoing technical expertise, reporting, coordination, and monitoring.

Over the course of the current agreement, SWS has successfully assisted the City with:

Preparation and submission of annual CalRecycle reports; Administration and coordination of household hazardous waste programs; Solid waste permit administration and franchise oversight; Compliance efforts related to AB 341, AB 1826, and SB 1383; Grant administration and reporting;
Public outreach and education efforts;
Coordination with franchise haulers and regulatory agencies; and Ongoing support for State and regional solid waste initiatives.

In addition to continuing these services, the proposed agreement will position the City to address several significant initiatives over the next three years, including:

Preparation and coordination for future CalRecycle Jurisdiction Agency Compliance and Enforcement (JACE) reviews;
Support for renegotiation of the City's residential solid waste franchise agreement or implementation of a future Request for Proposals process; and
Support for implementation and enforcement of the City's single-use plastics reduction ordinance.

SWS has consistently provided exceptional professional service to the City and has become a trusted partner in administering the City's solid waste and recycling programs. The proposed three-year agreement will allow the City to continue receiving specialized technical expertise, maintain compliance with evolving State regulations, and successfully implement key solid waste initiatives over the coming years.

Accordingly, staff recommends approval of the agreement with SWS for Fiscal Years 2026-27 through 2028-29.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the agreement is included in the proposed Solid Waste Program budgets and will be appropriated annually through the City's budget process.

The proposed agreement provides for the following annual not-to-exceed amounts:

Fiscal Year 2026-27: $141,450
Fiscal Year 2027-28: $121,450
Fiscal Year 2028-29: $121,450
The total not-to-exceed amount over the three-year term is $384,350.

The Fiscal Year 2026-27 not-to-exceed amount includes a one-time allocation of $20,000 for the ongoing solid waste franchise agreement discussions. Because these efforts are anticipated to conclude prior to the expiration of the current franchise agreement with Waste Management (WM) on June 30, 2027, the $20,000 allocation is included only in Fiscal Year 2026-27. Accordingly, the Fiscal Year 2027-28 and Fiscal Year 2028-29 not-to-exceed amounts reflect the removal of this one-time cost and are reduced to $121,450 annually.

The proposed agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney and approved as to form.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully recommends approval of the Agreement for Contractor Services, with Solid Waste Solutions, Inc., for solid waste and project management services.

SUBJECT:

APPROVE AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACTOR SERVICES, WITH VENTURA TRANSIT SYSTEM, INC.,

FOR CHARTER TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
The Department of Community Services has contracted with Ventura Transit System, Inc. (VTS) since March 2020 to provide charter transportation services for the City’s Recreation Transit Program and other City-sponsored events. These services transport residents and program participants to local destinations and special events.

Throughout the term of the agreement, VTS has demonstrated the resources, personnel, and operational capacity necessary to provide efficient transportation services. The proposed agreement includes a not-to-exceed amount of $45,000 annually. Contract costs have increased in recent years due to rising labor expenses and fuel prices affecting the transportation industry.

The proposed agreement will commence on July 1, 2026, and expire on June 30, 2028, with the option to extend for one additional one-year term.

The City owns a 28 passenger 2017 Starcraft Allstar 32’ Ford that will be the primary vehicle utilized by the contractor. VTS will also provide additional shuttle vehicles in the event the primary vehicle passenger is not sufficient to accommodate the requested trip(s).

The proposed program requires $45,000 in Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) Proposition A Funds and is recommended in the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Budget.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact. Funds were appropriated in the FY 2026-27 Proposed Budget. As this is an ongoing recreation transit program, the funds will be appropriated in the FY 2027-28 Budget using Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) Proposition A Funds, in the following Recreation Department accounts:

Recreation Transit – Excursions 060-4420-5520B0
Recreation Transit – Seniors 060-4420-5520D0
Contract Services – Special Events 060-4420-5520E0

RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully recommends the City Council approve the Agreement for Contractor Services with Ventura Transit System, Inc. (VTS), in the amount of $90,000 to provide Charter Transportation Services for the City’s Recreation Transit Program and other City-sponsored events.

APPROVE AUTHORIZATION OF EXPENDITURES FOR THE CIVIC CENTER MICROGRID PROJECT

TO PRESERVE ELIGIBILITY FOR FEDERAL INVESTMENT TAX CREDITS UNDER THE INFLATION

REDUCTION ACT
On May 27, 2026, the City Council awarded a contract to SitelogIQ for the design and construction of the Civic Center Microgrid Project. The project is intended to enhance the resiliency of critical City facilities through the installation of renewable energy generation, battery storage, and associated infrastructure capable of supporting emergency operations during utility outages.

The project is being funded through a combination of federal grant funding, City contributions, and anticipated federal clean energy incentives available through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). To preserve eligibility for the anticipated tax credit benefits, the project must satisfy federal "beginning of construction" requirements by July 3, 2026. One recognized method for satisfying this requirement is to incur or pay a percentage of 5%-8% of eligible project costs before the applicable deadline.

Based on the current estimated project cost of $3,319,673, staff recommends the expenditure of approximately $265,574. SitelogIQ has identified qualifying equipment and procurement activities that can be completed prior to the deadline and would satisfy the applicable federal requirements. These expenditures would become part of the overall project and are not anticipated to increase the total authorized project budget.

Failure to authorize the required expenditures before the federal deadline could jeopardize the City's ability to claim these tax credit benefits, potentially reducing available project funding by hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Therefore, staff is recommending appropriating $265,574 from Facilities Fund 012 to facilitate the required procurement activities prior to the federal deadline.

FISCAL IMPACT
This project has been in the planning stages over the last few years. Staff has requested funds to be set aside in Fund 012 Facilities to appropriate for costs for this project. The Capital Outlay Account 012-4180-5682 currently has a balance of $400,000 and staff is requesting an appropriation of $265,574 for payment to SitelogIQ. This payment is needed by July 3, 2026, in order to qualify for tax savings related to the Inflation Reduction Act.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully recommends the City Council:

1. Authorize the expenditures for the Civic Center Microgrid Project to preserve eligibility for federal investment tax credits; and

2. Approve the necessary budget appropriation to facilitate project procurement activities required to preserve eligibility for federal clean energy tax incentives available through the Inflation Reduction Act.

APPROVE NAME CHANGE OF COMMUNITY WILDFIRE PROTECTION PLAN (CWPP)

IMPLEMENTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO AGENCY WORKING GROUP In July 2024, the City initiated the Community Wildfire Risk Assessment (CWRA) process to identify local wildfire vulnerabilities, high-risk areas, and neighborhood-specific preparedness needs. Completed in October 2025, the CWRA provided the technical foundation for the development of the City's Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP), which was adopted by the City Council on May 27, 2026.

A key component of the CWPP development process was collaboration with an Agency Working Group comprised of representatives from the Los Angeles County Fire Department, Lost Hills Sheriff's Station, Agoura Hills Fire Safe Council, Santa Monica Mountains Fire Safe Council, Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority, Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, California State Parks, National Park Service, Southern California Edison, and the Community Fire Brigade. This group provided valuable technical expertise, local knowledge, and interagency coordination throughout the planning process.

Following adoption of the CWPP, the City Council approved the establishment of a CWPP Advisory Committee to support implementation of the Plan's recommendations. As staff has begun preparing for implementation efforts, it has become evident that continued success will depend on maintaining a collaborative, action-oriented partnership among the agencies and organizations responsible for carrying out CWPP projects and initiatives.

To support this objective, staff recommends renaming the "CWPP Advisory Committee" to the "CWPP Agency Working Group" within the final CWPP document and future implementation materials. This name more accurately reflects the intended purpose of the group as a collaborative forum for coordination, information sharing, project development, and implementation among partner agencies and stakeholders. Additionally, the name maintains consistency with the structure that successfully guided development of the CWPP and is familiar to participating organizations.

To ensure ongoing community engagement, staff will supplement the Agency Working Group meetings with annual public workshops to provide updates on CWPP implementation progress, gather community feedback, and identify emerging wildfire preparedness needs. Staff will also provide periodic updates to the City's Emergency Preparedness Subcommittee and conduct outreach to encourage public participation in those meetings.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to this item.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the modification of the CWPP to replace references to the "CWPP Advisory Committee" with "CWPP Agency Working Group" to better reflect the collaborative implementation structure envisioned for the Plan.

CITY OF AGOURA HILLS

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
I. POLICY
This investment policy applies to all investment activities and financial assets of the City of Agoura Hills (City). The funds are accounted for and incorporated in the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report and include the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, Capital Project Funds, and Trust Funds.

The purpose of this investment policy is to identify various policies and procedures that will foster a prudent and systematic investment program designed to seek the City objectives of safety, liquidity and return on investment through a diversified investment portfolio.

This policy also serves to organize and formalize the City investment-related activities, while complying with all applicable statutes governing the investment of public funds. This policy is written to incorporate industry best practices and recommendations from sources such as the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), California Municipal Treasurers Association (CMTA), California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission (CDIAC) and the Association of Public Treasurers (APT).

II. SCOPE
This policy covers all funds and investment activities under the direct authority of the City, as set forth in the State Government Code, Sections 53600 et seq., with the following exceptions:
 Proceeds of debt issuance shall be invested in accordance with the City’s general investment philosophy as set forth in this policy; however, such proceeds are to be invested pursuant to the permitted investment provisions of their specific bond indentures.
 Any other funds specifically exempted by the City Council.

POOLING OF FUNDS
Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, the City will consolidate cash and reserve balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings and to increase efficiencies with regard to investment pricing, safekeeping, and administration. Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

III. PRUDENCE
Pursuant to California Government Code, Section 53600.3, all persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the City are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the Prudent Investor Standard:
“…all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the City, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the City. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law.”
The Treasurer and other authorized persons responsible for managing City funds acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes provided that the Treasurer or other authorized persons acted in good faith. Deviations from expectations of a security’s credit or market risk should be reported to the City Council in a timely fashion and appropriate action should be taken to control adverse developments.

IV. OBJECTIVES
The City’s overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism worthy of the public trust. The overriding objectives of the program are to preserve principal, provide sufficient liquidity, and manage investment risks, while seeking a market-rate of return.  SAFETY. Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments will be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To attain this objective, the City will diversify its investments by investing funds among a variety of securities with independent returns.  LIQUIDITY. The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated.  RETURN ON INVESTMENTS. The investment portfolio will be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints for safety and liquidity needs.

V. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
Authority to manage the City’s investment program is derived from California Government Code, Sections 41006 and 53600 et seq. The City Council is responsible for the management of the City’s funds, including the administration of this investment policy. Management responsibility for the cash management of the City’s funds is hereby delegated to the Treasurer.

The City Manager, after reviewing the City's cashflow needs with the Director of Finance, will authorize the amount of cash available to be invested by the City Treasurer.

The Treasurer will be responsible for all transactions undertaken and will establish a system of procedures and controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials and employees. Such procedures will include explicit delegation of authority to the people responsible for investment transactions.

No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the Treasurer.

The Treasurer may authorize the Director of Finance to function as the City’s Investment Officer in performing the treasury functions and duties under this policy. When acting as the City’s Investment Officer as provided in this paragraph, the Director of Finance shall be subject to the direction and supervision of the Treasurer, shall coordinate with the City Treasurer on investments, and shall discuss changes in the composition of the City’s investment portfolio with the Treasurer prior to purchasing these investments.

The City may engage the services of one or more external investment advisers, who are registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, to assist in the management of the City’s investment portfolio in a manner consistent with the City’s objectives. External investment advisers may be granted discretion to purchase and sell investment securities in accordance with this investment policy.

The City's overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust. The City recognizes that in a diversified portfolio, occasional measured losses may be inevitable and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio’s return and the cash flow requirements of the City.

VI. ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
All participants in the investment process shall function as custodians of the public trust. Investment officials shall recognize that the investment portfolio is subject to public review and evaluation. Thus, employees and officials involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could create a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions.

Employees and investment officials shall disclose to the Director of Finance any material interests in financial institutions with which they conduct business, and they shall further disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the investment portfolio.

Employees and officers shall refrain from undertaking any personal investment transactions with the same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of the City. Investment officials must file an annual Statement of Economic Interest Form 700 with the city clerk’s office prior to April 1 of each year or when material interest in financial institutions or personal investment positions require it.

VII. INTERNAL CONTROLS
Subject to the direction and supervision of the Treasurer, the Director of Finance is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the financial assets of the City are protected from loss, theft, fraud, or misuse.

The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.

Internal controls state that every transaction must be reviewed, authorized, and documented. Transaction documentation will be maintained for audit purposes.

The investments placed shall conform to the City's "Statement of Investment Policy.”
Annually the City’s auditor will conduct an independent analysis to review internal controls, account activity, compliance with policies and procedures and review of investment records and verify the investments have been made in accordance with this policy.

VIII. WIRE TRANSFER CONTROLS
All City wire transfers will be executed in accordance with written operating procedures specifying controls required for wire transfers of funds. All wire transfers require three City employees to initiate, approve, and release each transaction. Two factor authentication is required for each individual to engage in the wire release process, which includes unique passwords, and the use of bank security tokens generating random numerical passwords.

Final release of any and all wires from the City, investment or otherwise, require the approval of either the City Manager or Director of Finance.

LAIF TRANSFERS
Any transfers to/from LAIF representing deposits or withdrawals effectuating an investment decision by the City Treasurer shall be completed by Finance Department staff and authorized by the City Manager in accordance with paragraph 2 of Section VII.

IX. AUTHORIZED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, DEPOSITORIES, AND

BROKER/DEALERS
To the extent practicable, the Treasurer shall endeavor to complete investment transactions using a competitive bid process whenever possible.

The City’s Treasurer will determine which financial institutions are authorized to provide investment services to the City. It shall be the City’s policy to purchase securities only from authorized institutions and firms.

The Treasurer shall maintain procedures for establishing a list of authorized broker/dealers and financial institutions which are approved for investment purposes that are selected through a process of due diligence as determined by the City. Due inquiry shall determine whether such authorized brokers/dealers, and the individuals covering the City are reputable and trustworthy, knowledgeable, and experienced in Public City investing and able to meet all of their financial obligations. These institutions may include "primary" dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15c3-1 (uniform net capital rule).

In accordance with Section 53601.5, institutions eligible to transact investment business with the City include:

1. Institutions licensed by the state as broker-dealer.

2. Institutions that are members of a federally regulated securities exchange.

3. Primary government dealers as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank.

4. National or state-chartered banks.

5. The Federal Reserve Bank.

6. Direct issuers of securities eligible for purchase.

Selection of financial institutions and broker/dealers authorized to engage in transactions will be at the sole discretion of the City, except where the City utilizes an external investment adviser in which case the City may rely on the adviser for selection.

All financial institutions which desire to become qualified bidders for investment transactions (and which are not dealing only with the investment adviser) must supply the Treasurer with audited financials and a statement certifying that the institution has reviewed the California Government Code, Section 53600 et seq. and the City’s investment policy. The Treasurer will conduct an annual review of the financial condition and registrations of such qualified bidders.

Public deposits will be made only in qualified public depositories as established by State law. Deposits will be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or, to the extent the amount exceeds the insured maximum, will be collateralized in accordance with State law.

Selection of broker/dealers used by an external investment adviser retained by the City will be at the sole discretion of the adviser. Where possible, transactions with broker/dealers shall be selected on a competitive basis and their bid or offering prices shall be recorded. If there is no other readily available competitive offering, best efforts will be made to document quotations for comparable or alternative securities. When purchasing original issue instrumentality securities, no competitive offerings will be required as all dealers in the selling group offer those securities at the same original issue price.

X. AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
The City’s investments are governed by the California Government Code, Sections 53600 et seq. Within the investments permitted by the Code, the City seeks to further restrict eligible investments to the guidelines listed below. In the event a discrepancy is found between this policy and the Code, the more restrictive parameters will take precedence. The percentage holding limits listed in this section apply at the time the security is purchased.

Any investment currently held at the time the policy is adopted which does not meet the new policy guidelines can be held until maturity and shall be exempt from the current policy. At the time of the investment’s maturity or liquidation, such funds shall be reinvested only as provided in the current policy.

An appropriate risk level shall be maintained by primarily purchasing securities that are of high quality, liquid, and marketable. The portfolio shall be diversified by security type and institution to avoid incurring unreasonable and avoidable risks regarding specific security types or individual issuers.

1. MUNICIPAL SECURITIES (REGISTERED TREASURY NOTES OR BONDS) of any of the other 49 states in addition to California, including bonds payable solely out of the revenues from a revenue-producing property owned, controlled, or operated by a state or by a department, board, City, or authority of any of the other 49 states, in addition to California.  The securities are rated in a rating category of “A” or its equivalent or better by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”).

 A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed, and how gains and losses are treated.
 A description of how the securities is safeguarded (including the settlement processes), and how often the securities are priced, and the program audited.

 A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings.  Are reserves, retained earnings, etc. utilized by the pool/fund?  A fee schedule, and when and how it is assessed.
 Is the pool/fund eligible for bond proceeds and/or will it accept such proceeds?
XIII. COLLATERALIZATION
CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT (CDS). The City shall require any commercial bank or savings and loan association to deposit eligible securities with a City of a depository approved by the State Banking Department to secure any uninsured portion of a Non- Negotiable Certificate of Deposit.

COLLATERALIZATION OF BANK DEPOSITS. This is the process by which a bank or financial institution pledges securities, or other deposits for the purpose of securing repayment of deposited funds. The City shall require any bank or financial institution to comply with the collateralization criteria defined in the California Government Code, Section 53651.

XIV. DELIVERY, SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY
DELIVERY-VERSUS-PAYMENT (DVP). All investment transactions shall be conducted on a delivery-versus-payment basis.

SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY. To protect against potential losses due to failure of individual securities dealers, and to enhance access to securities, interest payments and maturity proceeds, all cash and securities in the City’s portfolio shall be held in safekeeping in the City’s name by a third-party custodian, acting as agent for the City under the terms of a custody agreement executed by the bank and the City. All investment transactions will require a safekeeping receipt or acknowledgment generated from the trade. A monthly report will be received by the City from the custodian listing all securities held in safekeeping with current market data and other information.

XV. MAXIMUM MATURITY
To the extent possible, investments shall be matched with anticipated cash flow requirements and known future liabilities.

The City will not invest in securities maturing more than five (5) years from the date of trade settlement, unless the City Council has by resolution granted authority to make such an investment.

XVI. RISK MANAGEMENT AND DIVERSIFICATION MITIGATING CREDIT RISK IN

THE PORTFOLIO
Credit risk is the risk that a security or a portfolio will lose some or all its value due to a real or perceived change in the ability of the issuer to repay its debt.

The City will mitigate credit risk by adopting the following strategies:
 The diversification requirements included in the “Authorized Investments” section of this policy are designed to mitigate credit risk in the portfolio.
 No more than 5% of the total portfolio may be deposited with or invested in securities issued by any single issuer unless otherwise specified in this policy.
 The City may elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss in order to manage the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio in response to market conditions or the City’s risk preferences.
 If a security owned by the City is downgraded to a level below the requirements of this policy, making the security ineligible for additional purchases, the following steps will be taken:
 Any actions taken related to the downgrade by the investment manager will be communicated to the Treasurer in a timely manner.  If a decision is made to retain the security, the credit situation will be monitored and reported to the City Council.

MITIGATING MARKET RISK IN THE PORTFOLIO
Market risk is the risk that the portfolio value will fluctuate due to changes in the general level of interest rates. The City recognizes that, over time, longerterm portfolios have the potential to achieve higher returns. On the other hand, longer-term portfolios have higher volatility of return. The City will mitigate market risk by providing adequate liquidity for short-term cash needs, and by making longer-term investments only with funds that are not needed for current cash flow purposes.

The City further recognizes that certain types of securities, including variable rate securities, securities with principal paydowns prior to maturity, and securities with embedded options, will affect the market risk profile of the portfolio differently in different interest rate environments. The City, therefore, adopts the following strategies to control and mitigate its exposure to market risk:
 The City will maintain a minimum of six months of budgeted operating expenditures in short-term investments to provide sufficient liquidity for expected disbursements.
 The maximum stated final maturity of individual securities in the portfolio will be five (5) years, except as otherwise stated in this policy.  The duration of the portfolio will generally be approximately equal to the duration (typically, plus or minus 20%) of a Market Benchmark, an index selected by the City based on the City’s investment objectives, constraints, and risk tolerances.

XVII. REVIEW OF INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
The Treasurer shall periodically, but no less than quarterly, review the portfolio to identify investments that do not comply with this investment policy and establish protocols for reporting major and critical incidences of noncompliance to the City Council.

The City may elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss in order to improve the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio in response to market conditions or the City’s risk preferences.

XVIII. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
The investment portfolio shall be designed to attain a market-average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City’s risk constraints, the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio, and state and local laws, ordinances or resolutions that restrict investments.

The Treasurer shall monitor and evaluate the portfolio’s performance relative to the chosen market benchmark(s), which will be included in the Treasurer’s quarterly report. The Treasurer shall select an appropriate, readily available index to use as a market benchmark.

XIX. REPORTING

MONTHLY REPORTS
Monthly transaction reports will be submitted by the Treasurer to the City Manager and City Council within 30 days of the end of the reporting period in accordance with California Government Code Section 53607.

Additionally, the Treasurer will submit a monthly investment report to the City Manager and the City Council which provides full disclosure of the City’s investment activities within 45 days after the end of the month. These reports will disclose, at a minimum, the following information about the City’s portfolio:
 An asset listing showing par value, cost, and independent third-party fair market value of each security as of the date of the report, the source of the valuation, type of investment, issuer, maturity date and interest rate.

Based on that review, the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem recommends that the City Manager’s employment agreement be amended to increase the City Manager’s pay by three-point two (3.2%) percent, which would set the City Manager’s base salary to three hundred and eight thousand one hundred twenty-three dollars and one cent ($308,123.01) per year. The Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem also recommend that the City Manager be given a performance bonus of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 for continued exceptional performance. This Sixth Amendment, if adopted, would be effective with the first pay period of the Fiscal Year that includes July 1, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT
These increases have been budgeted in the Proposed Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget. No additional appropriations are needed.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt:
1) Resolution No. 26-2139; amending the compensation plan by setting the salary ranges for City employees to include a 3.2% COLA rate increase, increasing the employer contribution to healthcare premiums for full-time employees; and increasing the City’s matching contribution to the deferred compensation plan for general employees;
2) Resolution No. 26-2140; increasing the employer contribution to healthcare premiums for Councilmembers; and, 3) Approve the Sixth Amendment to the City Manager’s employment agreement and the City Manager’s performance bonus

SUBJECT:

ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE CITY OF AGOURA HILLS' PARTICIPATION IN THE LOS

ANGELES URBAN COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) ENTITLEMENT

PROGRAM, HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM, AND THE EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS

GRANT PROGRAM AND AUTHORIZE A COOPERATION AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY OF LOS

ANGELES TO RECEIVE CDBG FUNDS
The request before the City Council is to consider adoption of Resolution No. 26-2141, approving the City’s continued participation in the Los Angeles Urban County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Program, Home Investment Partnerships Program, and the Emergency Solutions Grant Program by authorizing the Mayor, or his designee, to sign the Participating City Cooperation Agreement with the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA). The proposed Cooperation Agreement authorizes the City’s participation in these programs during the time period of July 1, 2027 – June 30, 2030, unless otherwise terminated by the City, or by the County of Los Angeles.

Each year, CDBG funds are allocated to cities by the Federal Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD), and administered through the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA). Funding for participating cities of the Los Angeles Urban County CDBG Program is based upon the total number of participating cities. It is also based on the cities’ need to provide housing, economic and social service, and community development opportunities that principally benefit seniors and persons of low and moderate income levels, aid in the prevention of neighborhood blight, and meet other urgent community development needs due to natural disasters or other emergencies. The City of Agoura Hills has participated in the CDBG Program since 1984 and allocated funds have been used for such programs as the Senior Social Services Program, including the construction projects that include the path of travel and resurfacing of the Forest Cove Playground, and most recently the completion of the ADA Ramp located at Morrison Ranch Park.

These programs and projects have provided significant benefits to the residents of the City and staff supports extending the City’s participation in the CDBG Program through FY 2026-2027 through FY 2029-2030. This Cooperation Agreement includes a couple of other programs that the LACDA offers which are reflected in the name change of the program under their Consolidated Plan. In addition, there is also a provision that will allow for automatic renewal of participation in the CDBG Program in successive three-year periods, unless the County of Los Angeles or the City of Agoura Hills provides written notice that it elects not to participate in a new qualification period.

The Cooperation Agreement was prepared and approved by the County of Los Angeles’ legal counsel and HUD’s legal counsel. The Agreement was also reviewed by the City Attorney and approved as to form.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no negative fiscal impact to the City's General Fund through the use of the Community Development Block Grant Funds. Were the City not be able to utilize these funds, the programs supported may not be able to be offered.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully recommends the City Council approve Resolution No. 26-2141, approving the City’s participation in the Los Angeles Urban County Community Development Block Grant Program for the time period of July 1, 2027, through June 30, 2030, and self-renewing thereafter, by authorizing the Mayor, or his/her designee, to sign a Cooperation Agreement with the County of Los Angeles.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
DATE: JUNE 24, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: NATHAN HAMBURGER, CITY MANAGER
BY: DIEGO IBANEZ, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE
SUBJECT:

CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 APPROPRIATIONS LIMITATIONS, AND A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE ANNUAL BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
Article 13-b of the California State Constitution, known as Proposition 4, the GANN Initiative, was passed by the citizens of California on November 6, 1979. Proposition 4 placed limitations on the amount of annual appropriations “from the proceeds of taxes” for state and local governments. The legislation also provided a method to calculate the annual appropriation limit, using a growth factor comprised of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for California per capital income and the percentage change in population. The City of Agoura Hills appropriation limit for the General Fund from the “proceeds of taxes” for Fiscal Year 2026-27 is $25,434,369.

The City of Agoura Hills has a two-year budget plan. This year, staff will recommend the adoption and appropriation of the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Annual Budget. Furthermore, staff has no recommended changes for the approved Fiscal Year 2025-26 Annual Budget. The General Fund operational budget is balanced. Revenues are projected to be $19.7 million in the General Fund for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

Proposed expenditures for the Fiscal Year 2026-27 General Fund are recommended at $19.7 million, with operating transfers of $1.0 million ($20.7 million total). Public safety continues to be one of the highest priorities, at 30% of the General Fund Budget, to fund various programs largely provided via contract with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. These include patrol and traffic personnel, a shared crime analyst, crossing guards, and animal control services.

On June 10, 2026, the City Council held a budget workshop, covering all budget matters, and direction by the City Council has been incorporated into the updated proposed budget. The proposed adjustments within the General Fund 2026-27 Budget include adjusting the Community Service Grants to include additional amounts to several local non-profit organizations serving the local community. These recommendations are incorporated within the proposed budget for the Fiscal Year 2026-27.

FISCAL IMPACT
The preliminary fiscal year 2026-27 budget has been prepared for all funds. Funding sources are sufficient to support the preliminary spending plans presented.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully recommends the City Council conduct a public hearing to consider the adoption of Resolution No. 26-2142 Establishing Fiscal Year 2026-27 Appropriations Limitations; and Resolution No. 26-2143; Adopting the Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Agoura Hills’, appropriation limitation for Fiscal Year 2026-27 shall be $25,434,369 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that any challenge to the appropriations limits, as per the above mentioned government codes, must be brought to the City of Agoura Hills’ attention within sixty (60) days of the effective date of this resolution.

Appropriations Limit
FY 2026-27
History
The votes of California, during a special election in 1979, approved Article XIII-B of the California State Constitution (informally known as Proposition 4, or the “Gann Initiative”), which restricts the total amount of appropriations allowed in any given fiscal year from the “proceeds of taxes.” In 1980, the State Legislature added section 9710 to Government Code which required the governing body of each local jurisdiction to establish, by resolution, an appropriations limit for the following year. The appropriations limit for any fiscal year was equal to the previous year’s limit, adjusted for population changes and the change in the U.S. Consumer Price Index (or California per Capita Personal Income, if smaller). The necessary statistical information is provided each year by the California Department of Finance
In June, 1990, the votes modified the original Article XIII-B (Proposition 4) with the passage of Proposition 111 and its implementing legislation (California Senate Bill 88). Beginning with the 1990-91 appropriations limit, a City may choose annual adjustment factors. The adjustment factors include the growth in the California Per Capita Income or the growth in the non-residential assessed valuation due to construction within the City, and the population growth within the Count or the City. Under Proposition 4, if a city ends the fiscal year having more proceeds of taxes than the Limit allows, it must return the excess to the tax payers within two years (either by reducing taxes levied or fees charged).

Agoura Hills and the Future
The following table provides an analysis of the City of Agoura Hill’s appropriation limit. Historically the City has remained well below its appropriation limit. For the 2026-27 fiscal year, there is a significant gap of $9,342,630 between the appropriations limit and the General Fund appropriations allowed under the limit. With such a sizable margin, the provisions related to the return of taxes clearly do not, and will not, apply to Agoura Hills any time in the new future.

Service Level Trends Service Level Trends
The City of Agoura Hills continues to face challenges associated with increasing demands for services and rising operational costs, driven in part by broader economic conditions. As a community that values high-quality municipal services, environmental preservation, and thoughtful growth, the City must remain vigilant and strategic in managing its limited financial resources. To meet these growing service expectations within a responsible budget framework, Agoura Hills will need to maintain a disciplined, proactive approach to fiscal planning. At the same time, the City must continue to actively engage with regional partners, local stakeholders, and all levels of government to identify sustainable strategies that support economic vitality, enhance community resilience, and preserve the unique character that defines Agoura Hills.

In February 2011, the City recorded an advance of $44 million to the Redevelopment Agency. In December 2011, the California Supreme Court dissolved the Redevelopment Agency and the City elected to become the Successor Agency for the former redevelopment agency.

Capital Improvement Plan Capital Improvement Plan
Overview:

The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the City of Agoura Hills is a long-term planning tool that guides investment in the City’s physical infrastructure and major assets. It outlines a multi-year forecast of capital projects aligned with Agoura Hills’ development goals, financial resources, and service priorities. Typical projects include roadway and
transportation improvements, water and wastewater system upgrades, public safety facilities, and parks.

The CIP helps prioritize projects based on factors such as public safety, infrastructure condition, community benefit, and economic impact. It is funded through a combination of the General Fund, special funds, and state and federal grants.

Reviewed and updated annually as part of the City’s budget process, the CIP ensures that project planning remains
responsive to changing needs and resources.

By providing a structured approach to capital planning, the CIP enhances transparency, improves coordination across departments, reduces long-term maintenance costs, and
supports the City’s vision for a well-maintained and resilient infrastructure system.

XVI. RISK MANAGEMENT AND DIVERSIFICATION MITIGATING CREDIT RISK IN

THE PORTFOLIO
Credit risk is the risk that a security or a portfolio will lose some or all its value due to a real or perceived change in the ability of the issuer to repay its debt.

The City will mitigate credit risk by adopting the following strategies:
x The diversification requirements included in the “Authorized Investments” section of this policy are designed to mitigate credit risk in the portfolio.
x No more than 5% of the total portfolio may be deposited with or invested in securities issued by any single issuer unless otherwise specified in this policy.
x The City may elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss in order to manage the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio in response to market conditions or the City’s risk preferences.
x If a security owned by the City is downgraded to a level below the requirements of this policy, making the security ineligible for additional purchases, the following steps will be taken:
x Any actions taken related to the downgrade by the investment manager will be communicated to the Treasurer in a timely manner. x If a decision is made to retain the security, the credit situation will be monitored and reported to the City Council.

The City further recognizes that certain types of securities, including variable rate securities, securities with principal paydowns prior to maturity, and securities with embedded options, will affect the market risk profile of the portfolio differently in different interest rate environments. The City, therefore, adopts the following strategies to control and mitigate its exposure to market risk:
x The City will maintain a minimum of six months of budgeted operating expenditures in short-term investments to provide sufficient liquidity for expected disbursements.
x The maximum stated final maturity of individual securities in the portfolio will be five (5) years, except as otherwise stated in this policy. x The duration of the portfolio will generally be approximately equal to the duration (typically, plus or minus 20%) of a Market Benchmark, an index selected by the City based on the City’s investment objectives, constraints, and risk tolerances.

Additionally, the Treasurer will submit a monthly investment report to the City Manager and the City Council which provides full disclosure of the City’s investment activities within 45 days after the end of the month. These reports will disclose, at a minimum, the following information about the City’s portfolio:
x An asset listing showing par value, cost, and independent third-party fair market value of each security as of the date of the report, the source of the valuation, type of investment, issuer, maturity date and interest rate.
x Transactions for the period.
x A description of the funds, investments, and programs (including lending programs) managed by contracted parties (i.e., LAIF, investment pools, outside money managers and securities lending agents)
x A one-page summary report that shows:
x Average maturity of the portfolio and modified duration of the portfolio.
x Maturity distribution of the portfolio.
x Percentage of the portfolio represented by each investment category. x Average portfolio credit quality; and,
x Time-weighted total rate of return for the portfolio for the prior one month, three months, twelve months and since inception compared to the City’s market benchmark returns for the same periods. x A statement of compliance with investment policy, including a schedule of any transactions or holdings which do not comply with this policy or with the California Government Code, including a justification for their presence in the portfolio and a timetable for resolution. x A statement that the City has adequate funds to meet its cash flow requirements for the next six months. or provide an explanation as to why sufficient money shall, or may, not be available.
