OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Manuel Acosta, Acting City Manager
BY: Manuel Carrillo, Director of Finance and Administrative Services Andrew J. Tse, Human Resources Manager
SUBJECT: Status Update on Staff Vacancies in Compliance with Assembly Bill 2561 (2024) – Local Public Employees: Vacant Positions DATE:June 8, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council receive and file this report.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On September 22, 2024, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill (“AB”) 2561 into law, amending the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act by adding Government Code Section 3502.3, which requires public agencies to publicly address the status of its job vacancies. As a basis for the new requirement, the California Legislature determined that vacancies are widespread and can be a significant problem in the public sector. Vacancies require employees to take on heavier workloads, resulting in burnout and increased turnover, which could negatively impact the delivery of public service.

AB 2561 imposed three (3) requirements on local agencies: 1) at least once each fiscal year, an agency’s governing board must hold a public hearing and receive the agency’s report on the status of vacancies, including recruitment and retention efforts; 2) during the hearing, the agency must identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to hiring obstacles; and, 3) the agency must allow the recognized employee organization for a bargaining unit to make a presentation at the hearing at which the public agency presents the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts for positions within that bargaining unit.

If the number of job vacancies within a single bargaining unit meets or exceeds 20 percent of the total number of authorized full-time positions, the public agency shall, upon request of the recognized employee organization, include all of the following information during the public hearing: 1) the total number of job vacancies within the bargaining unit; 2) the total number of applicants for vacant positions within the bargaining unit, 3) the average number ��
of days to complete the hiring process from when a position is posted, and 4) opportunities to improve compensation and other working conditions. The current staff vacancy rate in the City does not exceed the 20 percent threshold.

In FY 2025-26, the City Council of the City of Bell Gardens authorized 157 full-time positions.

Currently, the vacancies for each bargaining unit are as follows:

Bargaining Unit # of Vacancies
Bell Gardens City Employees Association 2
Bell Gardens Public Works Employees Association 0
Bell Gardens Public Works Supervisors Association 0
Bell Gardens Police Officers Association 3
Bell Gardens Police Management Association 0
Unrepresented Management / Confidential Employees 2
The recruitment of Police Officers continues to be an industry-wide challenge, with limited pool of qualified applicants willing to take on the challenge of a law enforcement career. The Human Resources Division has streamlined the recruitment process by hosting frequent State PELLETB examinations, and the Police Department expediently interviewing and processing those applicants who were successful on the State exam.

The City of Bell Gardens’ workforce remain stable, with continuity of service and institutional knowledge, as a majority of the City’s staff members have served the City for five or more years.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.

CONCLUSION:

This report has been prepared to address the City’s vacancy status and recruitment and retention efforts in accordance with California Government Code Section 3502.3.

CITY OF BELL GARDENS

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:Manuel Acosta, Acting City Manager
BY:Paul Camacho, Chief of Police
SUBJECT:Consideration of Ordinance No. 969 Adopting A Military Equipment Use Policy As Required By Assembly Bill 481
DATE:June 8, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council waive the full reading and introduce Ordinance No. 969 by title only, adopting a Military Equipment Use Policy in accordance with state law.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On May 9, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 923 approving a Military Equipment Use Policy (“Policy”) pursuant to Assembly Bill 481 (“AB 481”). AB 481 seeks to provide transparency, oversight, and an opportunity for meaningful public input on decisions regarding whether and how military equipment is funded, acquired, and used by law enforcement agencies. AB 481, codified in California Government Code sections 7070 through 7075, requires a law enforcement agency to obtain authorization from its governing body by adoption of a military equipment use policy by ordinance, approving the use of the military equipment.

On September 22, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 959 approving the amended Policy and renewed the ordinance. On an annual basis after adoption of the Policy, AB 481 requires police agencies to publish a military equipment report (“Report”) on its website outlining the use of the equipment, any complaints or concerns regarding the use of the equipment, results of any internal audits on the use of the equipment, the annual costs for the equipment, the quantity possessed by the agency, and the intention to purchase additional equipment in the following year. In addition, within 30 days of submitting and publicly releasing the Report, a well-publicized community engagement meeting must be held to allow for public comments. AB 481 further requires the agency’s governing body to, at least annually, review the Ordinance approving the Policy and vote on whether to renew the Ordinance.

The term “military equipment,” as used in AB 481 does not necessarily indicate that the equipment has been used by or acquired from the military. Pursuant to AB 481, items deemed to be “military equipment” include, but are not limited to, unmanned aerial or ground ��
vehicles, command and control vehicles, pepper balls, less-than-lethal shotguns, less-than- lethal 40mm projectile launchers, and diversionary devices.

The Police Department’s Policy was originally approved by the Bell Gardens City Council in 2022 and amended in 2023. The Policy was approved again in 2024 and 2025. The Policy outlines each item identified in Government Code section 7070, which is currently owned and used by the Police Department.

In compliance with the annual requirements set forth in AB 481, the Police Department completed its 2025 Military Equipment Annual Report.

The Policy and Report were posted on the Department’s website on Monday, April 6, 2026, and made available for public review. In addition, on Thursday, April 16, 2026, the Police Department held a public town hall meeting in both English and Spanish. At the public town hall meeting, the Police Department provided a presentation summarizing the Annual Report and Policy updates and provided an opportunity for public comment and questions. Notice of these public presentations were posted on the City’s website and publicized by the Police Department and City via agency social media accounts.

As provided in the 2025-2026 Military Equipment Annual Report:
•Complaints or Concerns: There were no complaints of concerns reported on the use of the equipment under this Policy.
•Internal Audit: The Department conducted an internal audit and determined that there were no violations of the Policy.
•Intention to Purchase Additional Equipment: The Department anticipates purchasing equipment in FY 2026-2027.

If the City Council does not approve the continuing use of military equipment within 180 days of submission of the Policy, the Police Department shall cease its use of the military equipment until it receives the approval of the City Council in accordance with AB 481.

The Police Department is committed to transparency, public trust, and compliance with legal requirements in all of its operations. Without City Council approval of a Military Equipment Use Policy, the Police Department’s ability to respond to a critical incident and provide mutual aid when called upon would be compromised and potentially detrimental to public safety and the City’s risk exposure.

The Policy and Report have been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:

This item is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2), and/or 15378 including subsection (b)(4). If this were determined to be a “project” for CEQA analysis, this activity falls within the “Common Sense” CEQA exemptions set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). No unusual circumstances exist and none of the exceptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgment and analysis.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

CONCLUSION:
��
As required by AB 481, Staff recommends adopting the attached Ordinance No. 969, approving the Military Equipment Use Policy.

Generally, chemical agents can be used to dislodge a suspect from a location with the least possible danger to the community, police, and suspect during high-risk tactical incidents. Chemical agents can prevent an armed suspect from accurately firing at the community and/or officers. They can also be used in limited instances during civil unrest when objectively reasonable to defend against a threat to life or serious bodily injury to any individual, including the officer, or bring a dangerous and unlawful situation safely and effectively under control.

Chlorobenzylidene malononitrile (CS) and Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) are two types of chemical agents. CS is an irritating agent and lachrymator (irritates the eyes and causes tears to flow). CS has been medically tested in the UK and US, specifically by the U.S.

Army. There are no known allergic reactions to CS. OC was de-regulated in California in 1996, is endorsed by the FBI, and is available to civilians to possess (2.5 oz. or less) legally. OC is an inflammatory agent that causes involuntary eye closure (open in 2-5 minutes) and respiratory inflammation (subsides in approximately 2 minutes).

CITY OF BELL GARDENS

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Manuel Acosta, Acting City Manager

BY: Manuel Carrillo, Director of Finance and Administrative Services

SUBJECT: Consideration of an Ordinance to Amend Sections 3.04.050 (Requisitions),

3.04.060 (Purchase Order – Required), 3.04.090 (Informal Purchasing Procedure), and 3.04.100 (Exceptions) of Chapter 3.04 (Purchasing System) of Title 3 (Revenue and Finance) of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code

DATE: June 8, 2026

RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council waive full reading and introduce Ordinance No. 970, by title only, to amend Sections 3.04.050 (Requisitions), 3.04.060 (Purchase Order – Required), 3.04.090 (Informal Purchasing Procedure), and 3.04.100 (Exceptions) of Chapter

3.04 (Purchasing System) of Title 3 (Revenue and Finance) of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code to increase the administrative purchasing threshold from One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) to Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000).

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

Chapter 3.04 (Purchasing System) of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code establishes procedures governing the purchase of supplies, equipment, and services for the City. Several provisions within the Chapter currently establish a One Thousand Dollar ($1,000) threshold for routine administrative purchasing procedures, including Sections 3.04.050 (Requisitions), 3.04.060 (Purchase Order – Required), 3.04.090 (Informal Purchasing Procedure), and 3.04.100 (Exceptions) of Chapter 3.04 (Purchasing System) of Title 3 (Revenue and Finance).

The current threshold was established in 1993, and has remained unchanged for more than thirty years. Due to increased operational and material costs, many routine purchases now exceed the existing threshold, resulting in additional administrative processing for minor expenditures.

The proposed Ordinance would increase the administrative purchasing threshold from One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) to Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) in order to improve operational efficiency and streamline routine purchasing procedures while maintaining existing fiscal controls and procurement requirements.

��
Currently the federal low value purchase limit, officially known as the Micro-Purchase Threshold (MPT) is $15,000 for most civilian and defense agencies. Purchases at or below this amount can be made without seeking competitive quotes, provided the price is deemed reasonable and purchases are distributed equally.

As a form of comparative analysis, the following surrounding municipalities, have the following purchasing policies:
- City of Pico Rivera: department heads or designees may approve purchases under $10,000 without a purchase order;
- City of Commerce: department heads or designees may approve purchases under $5,000; and
- City of Huntington Park: department heads or designees may approve purchases under $5,000 without a formal bid or quote.

Increasing the purchasing threshold will assist the City in streamlining buying processes, allowing for reduced administrative burden and faster procurement cycles.

Proposed Amendments:

The proposed Ordinance amends the following provisions of Chapter 3.04 (Purchasing System) of Title 3 (Revenue and Finance) the Bell Gardens Municipal Code:

• Section 3.04.050 (Requisitions);
• Section 3.04.060 (Purchase Order – Required);
• Section 3.04.090 (Informal Purchasing Procedure); and • Section 3.04.100 (Exceptions).

On May 21, 2026, a public hearing notice was published in the Bell Gardens Review, City Hall, John Anson Ford Park, Veterans Park, and the Department of Public Works.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

CONCLUSION:

The proposed Ordinance would streamline routine purchasing procedures, improve administrative efficiency, and allow City departments to more efficiently address operational and maintenance needs while maintaining existing fiscal controls and procurement requirements.

Manuel Acosta, Acting City Manager
Stephanie Vasquez, City Attorney

CITY OF BELL GARDENS

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Manuel Acosta, Acting City Manager

BY: Bernardo Iniguez, Director of Public Works/Facilities

SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Approving a Proposal to Sell the Bell Gardens Municipal Water System to Golden State Water Company, Calling an Election on November 3, 2026 to Present this Proposal to the City’s Voters, and First Reading of the Ordinance Authorizing this Sale Subject to Voter Approval

DATE: June 8, 2026

RECOMMENDATION
It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council:

2. Subject to adoption by the electorate, give first reading to Ordinance No. 971 to permit the City of Bell Gardens to sell the Bell Gardens Municipal Water System to Golden State Water Company; and

3. Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

BACKGROUND
The City owns and operates the Bell Gardens Municipal Water System (“Water System”), which provides water utility service to approximately one-third of the City’s residents. Recently, the Water System has faced significant financial challenges from aging infrastructure that requires capital investments, regulatory compliance obligations, and debt. The City therefore issued a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) in late 2025 to solicit offers to purchase and operate the Water System.

The City received two proposals in response to its RFP, one from California-American Water Company, and the other from Golden State Water Company (“Golden State”). Both of these companies are experienced water utilities fully capable of providing safe and reliable service to the City’s residents. And both proposals commit to keep rates stable in the short term, with future rate increases limited by the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”). However, ��
after thoroughly evaluating their proposals, staff recommend accepting the proposal from Golden State because it would provide the greater benefit to our community. In particular, the Golden State proposal:

• Provides a competitive price of $41 million to purchase the City’s entire Water System, including all of its water rights;
• Offers immediate physical integration to its existing adjacent system, which already serves a majority of the City’s residents;
• Demonstrates a reliable path to continued system reliability, most importantly through redundant water supplies and a commitment to capital investments; and • Includes reliable evidence of long-term affordability for customers by spreading costs, especially capital costs, across a significantly larger customer base in the same region.

Accordingly, Staff recommends taking the next step to accept the proposal from Golden State by following the procedures summarized below.

ANALYSIS / NEXT STEPS
To sell its Water System to Golden State, the City Council must hold a noticed public hearing and then:

• Find that this sale is in the public interest, and in particular that Golden State will provide equal or better water service on terms that are just, reasonable, and do not discriminate against the City’s residents; and
• Obtain approval from the City’s voters.
(Pub. Util. Code, § 10061(c) & (e).)

As required by state law, City staff published notice of this hearing in the Bell Gardens Review on May 21 and May 28, 2026. The attached Resolution makes required findings, based on the evidence in Golden State’s proposal, and calls an election on the potential sale for November 3, 2026. Specifically, the Resolution would present the attached Ordinance to voters for their approval. That Ordinance permits, but does not require, the City to sell its Water System to Golden State. This permission is important for two reasons.

First, while the election is a statutory requirement before the City may sell the Water System, the Council may also view it as simply a referendum on whether selling the Water System is a good idea.

Second, even if voters approve this sale, that is not the end of the process. As a regulated utility, Golden State must obtain approval to purchase the Water System from the CPUC.

Assuming it approves the sale (which is likely), the CPUC is authorized to impose conditions on that sale. It is unlikely the CPUC would impose conditions that materially alter the terms of sale in a way that reduces the benefits to City residents, as these conditions are meant to ensure such benefits by, for example, limiting future rate increases to pay off the purchase price. However, because there is no way to guarantee what the CPUC will do, the Ordinance is drafted to leave the Council as much discretion as the law permits. In the unlikely event that the CPUC imposes conditions that materially reduce benefits to City residents from this sale, the Council may decline to complete the transaction or seek to renegotiate its terms.

The Resolution sets the election on this question the way the City normally calls for an election on any initiative. It consolidates the vote with the statewide general election on November 3, ��
2026, and it authorizes City officials (especially the Clerk) to work with Los Angeles County elections officials to ensure that occurs. It clarifies the procedures for ballot arguments, and it directs the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis.

The following ballot question has been proposed as the ballot question to present to Bell Gardens voters:

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council consider and approve the attached Resolution proposing to sell the City’s Water System to Golden State and placing that question on the ballot; and that the Council conduct the first reading of the Ordinance to be presented to voters on that ballot.

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of placing a ballot measure on the ballot for November 3, 2026, is included with the calling of the election for council candidate seats. This estimate is based on projected figures provided by the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk. If the sale goes through, Golden State has offered to pay the City $41,000,000, which may be used for any purposes the Council approves.

WHEREAS, on December 11, 2025, the City of Bell Gardens released a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) for the purchase of the City of Bell Gardens Municipal Water System (the “Water System”); and
WHEREAS, the City received two proposals in response to this RFP, including one from Golden State Water Company (“Golden State”) dated March 16, 2026 (the “Proposal”); and
WHEREAS, on June 8, 2026, the Bell Gardens City Council held a noticed public hearing on the Proposal from Golden State, and it wishes to proceed with selling the Water System to Golden State on the terms presented in that Proposal; and WHEREAS, the City’s voters must approve this sale (Pub. Util. Code, § 10061); and
WHEREAS, concurrent with the approval of this Resolution, the City Council has also approved for first reading Ordinance No. 971 (hereinafter, “the Ordinance”), which if approved by the City of Bell Gardens voters, permits the City to sell the Water System (a true and correct copy of the Ordinance is attached to this Resolution as Exhibit “A”); and WHEREAS, the City wishes to present the Ordinance to the City’s voters at the municipal election to be held November 3, 2026; and
WHEREAS, the City Council requests that the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (“Board”) authorize and direct the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (hereinafter, “the County Elections Official”) to consolidate the City’s November 3, 2026, regular municipal election with the County- administered Statewide Election of the same date; and

City, including any such additional costs arising out of the placement of the above-described ballot measure on the City’s November 3, 2026 ballot; and WHEREAS, the City Council also wishes to (i) establish rules for the submission of written arguments and rebuttals for and against the Measure in accordance with applicable Elections Code procedures; (ii) direct the timely preparation of the City Attorney’s impartial analysis; and (iii) provide such other direction as may be necessary to facilitate the placement of the Measure on the ballot.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BELL GARDENS AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The City Council, after consideration of the staff report and discussion, hereby find that the above recitals are true and correct and incorporate them herein.

SECTION 2. The City Council proposes to sell the Water System to Golden State.

SECTION 3. For at least the following reasons, the City Council finds that the terms presented in the Proposal show that selling the Water System to Golden State is in the public interest, the City will receive just compensation from this transaction, and Golden State will provide equal or better water service to the City’s residents on terms that are just, reasonable, and do not discriminate against those residents.

A. The proposed sale of the Water System to Golden State consolidates water service under a single, experienced provider with established operations in the City, thereby promoting operational efficiency, system reliability, and administrative simplicity for residents.

B. The proposed purchase price of $41,000,000 constitutes fair and reasonable compensation for the Water System, taking into account the system’s assets, infrastructure condition, water rights, and future capital needs, and will provide significant financial benefit to the City.

C. The proposed sale will relieve the City and its taxpayers of substantial financial obligations associated with the ownership, operation, and maintenance of the Water System, including capital improvements necessary to address aging infrastructure and emerging water quality requirements.

D. The Proposal provides meaningful short-term protection to residents by committing to keep existing water rates in effect until at least January 1, 2028, thereby ensuring a stable transition period for customers.

E. Selling the Water System to Golden State means the City’s residents will have access to a larger regional water system, redundant supplies, advanced treatment capabilities, and 24-hour customer service.
��
Resolution No. 2026-53
3 of 10
F. Incorporating the Water System into Golden State’s broader regional network will enhance long-term system reliability, including through access to greater capital resources, asset management programs, and a larger customer base over which to spread the cost of service.

G. In particular, the sale will benefit City residents by spreading the cost of future capital improvements — including necessary investments in treatment facilities, storage infrastructure, and pipeline replacement — across Golden State’s broader regional customer base of approximately 100,000 service connections. This regional cost-sharing structure is reasonably expected to significantly reduce the financial burden that would otherwise fall on the City’s smaller customer base alone.

H. Golden State has demonstrated the capability to seamlessly integrate the System into its existing operations to ensure the continued provision of safe, reliable, and high-quality water service to City residents without interruption.

SECTION 4. Pursuant to the laws of the State of California, the City Council hereby calls and notices a general municipal election to be held on November 3, 2026 (the “Election”), to consider the following measure:

Measure ___
Shall the measure permitting the City of Bell
Gardens to sell the Bell Gardens Municipal
Water System to the Golden State Water
Company be adopted?
Yes ____
No ____
The full Ordinance comprising this measure is attached hereto as Exhibit A and is incorporated here by this reference. This Ordinance requires the approval of a simple majority (50% plus one) of those voting on it.

SECTION 5.The City Council hereby asks the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (“Board of Supervisors”) to authorize the County Elections Official to render all services necessary to conduct the Election. The City Council hereby asks the Board of Supervisors to consolidate the Election with any other election the County Elections Official is to administer on November 3, 2026, and to order the Election to be conducted by the County Elections Official. (Elec. Code, §§ 10402, 10403.) The City Council acknowledges that the Election will be held and conducted in the manner prescribed in Elections Code section 10418. The ballots to be used in the election shall be in the form and content as required by law.

The City Clerk is authorized and directed to work with the County Elections Official and to procure and furnish any and all official ballots, notices, printed matter and all supplies, equipment and paraphernalia as needed to properly and lawfully conduct the Election. In all particulars not recited in this Resolution, the Election shall be held and ��
Resolution No. 2026-53
4 of 10
conducted as provided by law for holding municipal elections. The City of Bell Gardens will reimburse Los Angeles County for the actual costs incurred in conducting the Election upon receipt of a bill stating the amount due.

The notice of the time and place of holding the Election is hereby given, and the City Clerk and County Elections Official are authorized to give further notice of the Election as required by law.

SECTION 6.The City Clerk is directed to file certified copies of this Resolution with the Board of Supervisors, with a copy to the County Elections Official. (Elec. Code, § 10403.) The City Clerk is further authorized and directed to perform all other acts necessary or required by law to implement this Resolution and related to the Election.

SECTION 7.The City Clerk shall set the deadline for submission of arguments in favor of or against the Ordinance and provide notice of that deadline. The City Clerk may do this in coordination with the County Elections Official, as necessary. In all respects, the process to choose these arguments shall accord with Elections Code sections 9280 et seq. and 9600 et seq.

Further, the City Council hereby adopts the provisions of Elections Code section 9285(a) authorizing a rebuttal argument only as to arguments for the Election. This adoption is repealed, and the provisions of section 9285(a) shall not apply, thereafter.

SECTION 8.The City Clerk is directed to transmit a copy of the Ordinance to the City Attorney, who shall prepare an impartial analysis of the Ordinance in accordance with applicable law. The impartial analysis shall indicate that the measure was placed on the ballot by the City Council.

If the entire text of the Ordinance is not printed in the voter information pamphlet, the following shall be printed immediately below the impartial analysis in no smaller than 10-point type: “The above statement is an impartial analysis of Measure __. The full text of Measure ___ can be found online at [URL]. If you desire a copy of the measure, please call the election official’s office at 562-806-7704 and a copy will be mailed at no cost to you.”
SECTION 9. This Resolution is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, § 21000 et seq.). It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that selling the Bell Gardens Municipal Water System, in itself, may have a significant effect on the environment. (14 CCR § 15061(b)(3).) SECTION 10. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Resolution is for any reason held to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the Resolution. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Resolution, and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion therefore, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions might subsequently be declared unconstitutional or otherwise invalid.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:Manuel Acosta, Acting City Manager
BY:Daisy Gomez, City Clerk
SUBJECT:General Motion To Waive Full Reading And Approve Ordinances By Title Only Pursuant To California Government Code Section 36934
DATE:June 8, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council approve a general motion to waive full reading and approve Ordinances by title only pursuant to California Government Code Section 36934.

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION:

In order to expedite the conduct of business at Council meetings, California State Law (California Government Code Section 36934) allows Ordinances to be read by title if a majority of the Council supports the motion waiving the full reading. Most California cities adopt a standard motion at the beginning of each meeting in order to effectuate this waiver.

Since most of the Ordinances introduced and adopted consist of multiple pages of technical language, reading by title only allows the Council to eliminate the communication of redundant information and attend to other matters during the meetings. Otherwise, the entire Ordinance language will have to be read in full.

CONCLUSION:

Allowing ordinances to be read by title only, according to California State Law, will expedite the conduct of business at Council Meetings.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

CITY OF BELL GARDENS

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:Manuel Acosta, Acting City Manager
BY:Daisy Gomez, City Clerk
SUBJECT:Biennial Review of the City’s Conflict of Interest Code DATE:June 8, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council direct staff to conduct the biennial review of the City's Conflict of Interest Code and submit any proposed amendments no later than October 1, 2026, pursuant to Government Code Section 87306.5.

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION:

The Political Reform Act requires every local government agency to review its conflict of interest code biennially (each even numbered year) to determine if it is accurate, or if it needs to be amended. A conflict of interest code tells public officials, governmental employees, and consultants what financial interests they must disclose on their Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700).

The biennial review examines current positions to ensure that the city's conflict of interest code includes disclosure by those agency officials who make or participate in making governmental decisions.

Before October 1, 2026, the City Clerk will file with the City Council a biennial notice indicating whether the code requires amendments and the nature of the amendments. All revisions to the City's Conflict of Interest Code must be approved by the City Council.

CONCLUSION:

Upon receiving direction from the City Council, the City Clerk's Office will work in partnership with department directors and the City Attorney's Office to review the current Conflict of Interest Code (Exhibit 1). The biennial notice indicating whether the code requires amendments will be filed with the City Council no later than October 1, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

10 SECTION B – PROPOSED RECRUITMENT PLAN AND TIME SCHEDULE

1. Information Gathering and Analysis (Defining the Position Profile)

Consultants will meet with the Mayor and City Council, either individually or collectively to develop the candidate profile. The process will include obtaining views of the position and expectations regarding desirable training, experience and personal characteristics and attributes of top candidates, as well as goals, expectations and challenges that the position will face. Consultants will also gather/review relevant updated information about the organization and the position.

After summarizing the findings, the consultants will develop and submit a draft recruitment brochure with the desired qualifications and characteristics for approval. The recruitment brochure will include information about the organization, community, challenges , goals, statistical data, the position duties, and the selection criteria established by the Mayor and City Council.

2. Candidate Targeted Recruitment/Outreach (Sourcing Qualified Candidates)

Once the Mayor and City Council has approved the recruitment brochure, the consultants will proactively seek out highly qualified individuals with superior qualifications and invite and encourage their interest.

The consultants will prepare b road-reaching advertisements and place thes e announcements in recommended sources including published and on-line job boards and professional journals. Further, social media will be utilized to garner interest and to provide wide-spread coverage of the employment opportunity. Candidates shall apply via the consultant’s website and job portal at HRDPM.COM.

The consultants will not discriminate against any applicant for employment on the basis of race, religion, creed, age, color, marital status, sex, sexual preference, gender and gender identification, disabilities, medical condition, veteran status, nationa l origin or any other protected category.

3. Initial Screening (Evaluating Prospective Candidates)

The consultants will review, acknowledge, and evaluate all resumes received. Initial screening will be based upon qualifications criteria contained in the recruitment brochure, information contained in the resumes submitted, and consultants’ knowledge of the people and organizations in which they work. Candidates who do not meet minimum qualifications will be disqualified.

��
11 Upon completion of the initial screening, the consultants will assemble and submit a report of candidates in a matrix format to include education, experience, and any other criteria included in the position profile. This report will include a summary of the applications/resumes, supplemental information, and the original applications/ resumes of those candidates it believes to be best qualified for the position.

The purpose of the interim report is to allow the Mayor and City Council an opportunity to review the candidates prior to the conclusion of the search, and it allows the consultants to receive feedback on the caliber of the candidates recruited. In this way, the hiring authority will have the opportunity to either agree with the recommended top candidates, or consider other individuals who applied for the position.

The consultants will facilitate the discussion with the Mayor and City Council regarding all candidates, and will be able to answer questions and provide clarification as needed. The consultants will meet with the Mayor and City Council at times and locations design ated by the City in order to provide progress reports and in order to review and recommend a list of semi -finalists. Electronic copies of all resumes/applications received during the search shall be provided to the Mayor and City Council.

4. Candidate Assessment/Screening (Selection of Finalists)

The consultants will next interview those candidates whose qualifications most closely match the criteria established by the hiring authority and stakeholders, based upon the discussion and feedback received from the Mayor and City Council following the presentation of the preliminary report. Candidate screening interviews will be conducted with semi -finalists in person, where feasible, or by use of computer technology ( e.g., Zoom) with the most promising candidates to gain a deeper understanding of their backgrounds. The consultants will examine their qualifications and achievements in view of the selection criteria, and will narrow the candidate pool to a group of the top candidates.

Consultants shall also conduct detailed and extensive reference chec ks of job performance, management styles, personal traits and any other additional factors as they relate to this position. In conducting these references, it is our practice to speak directly with individuals who are, or have been, in a position to eval uate the candidate's performance on the job.

Note: Criminal background checks, per employment laws, require that such evaluations take place “post” job offer. The consultants shall therefore conduct the criminal background check for the finalist candidate.

5. Mayor and City Council Interview Panel with Top Candidates

Consultants shall facilitate confidential interviews conducted by the Mayor and City Council with the top candidates. Interview questions shall be prepared with Mayor and City Council input. Consultants shall brief and prepare candidates for the interview process. Lastly, consultants shall debrief with the City Council in order to achieve consensus on the finalist candidate.
��
12 6. Selection of Finalist

Consultant shall assist with the preparation of an offer letter, and at that time, conduct reference checking. Once the offer letter has been signed by the finalist, the consultant shall initiate an in-depth background screening of the final ist including credit checks, criminal and civil histories, college degrees and other related professional certifications, and a social media check . Consultants shall assist with negotiation of an employment agr eement between the City and selected candidate once the top candidate has been identified to include compensation and benefits.

7. Additional Consultant Assistance

Services that are routinely provided include:

• Providing a high-degree of personal interaction and communication with candidates at each step of the process, including preparing candidates for the interview panel process.

• Acting as a liaison between the client and finalist in discussing offers and counter offers; advising on starting salary, benefits, relocation and employment packages.

• Notifying unsuccessful candidates at the various stages of the process, as candidates are eliminated from consideration.

In the event that the candidate for any reason does not complete the twelve ( 12) months of service, HR Dynamics & Performance Management consultants will work with the hiring authority to determine feasibility of any additional candidates from the initial recruitment and/or re -announcement of the position including all prior steps.

CITY OF BELL GARDENS

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:Manuel Acosta, Acting City Manager
BY:Alfonso Hernandez, Acting Director of Community Development SUBJECT:Consideration of a Resolution Approving a Fourth Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with WSP USA, Inc. (WSP; Formerly Wood Environment & Infrastructure Inc.) for Environmental Remediation Consulting Services for 5600-5636 Shull Street (Former Berk Oil Site) DATE:June 8, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the Acting City Manager to execute a Fourth Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with WSP USA, Inc. (WSP; Formerly Wood Environment & Infrastructure Inc.).

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

Since 1985 the former Berk Oil site on Shull Street (“Project Site”) has been the subject of numerous investigations and reports of contamination. The Project Site is a Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) EnviroStor site. EnviroStor is DTSC’s data management system for tracking cleanup, permitting, enforcement and investigation efforts for sites with known or potential contamination.

The Project Site was used for the manufacturing of cardboard forms for gasoline tanks. This facility was later occupied by metal finishing businesses through the early 1990s. The western portion of the subject property was used for asphalt mixing and oil distribution from approximately 1965 through 1989 when the facility was demolished. Six known underground storage tanks (USTs) and a sub-grade steam cleaning sump were used during their years of operation. A fire destroyed a sizable portion of the former metal finishing facility. Preliminary investigations revealed volatile organic and petroleum hydrocarbon contamination across several of the parcels. There was concern that contamination sources were polluting the underlying groundwater, further compromising environmental conditions within the City of Bell Gardens (“City”) and beyond.

The property was sold to the City of Bell Gardens Redevelopment Agency in 1992. Since the acquisition, the area has lain fallow and unused and has recently had conceptual approvals for residences and erection of an electronic billboard.
��
In August 2011, DTSC approved a Targeted Site Investigation (TSI) for the Project Site, which consisted of a contiguous series of vacant parcels, bounded by residences to the north, and to the west by the I-710 freeway. The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) is the lead agency working with DTSC and the City for the Project Site’s cleanup activities. The Project Site is an Open Site Assessment with the RWQCB as of October 19, 2015, designated as Berk Oil (SL163462338), 5614 Shull St, Bell Gardens, CA 90201.

In 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation that allocated $500 million to expedite the cleanup and beneficial reuse of contaminated properties. Senate Bill 158 authorized DTSC to implement a new grant program, known as the Equitable Community Revitalization Grant (ECRG), to investigate and clean up contaminated properties in communities overburdened by pollution. As a result of the former industrial use of the Project Site, the current and future use is affected by real and perceived environmental contamination characterizing it as a brownfield site. The ECRG provides financial assistance to communities via reimbursable grants to investigate and clean up brownfield sites through a competitive process. The City applied for and was awarded funds from the ECRG to clean up the Project Site for residential purposes. The City’s application to reimburse eligible environmental cleanup activities was approved by the DTSC’s Office of Brownfields on June 6, 2022, for a period of 24 months. The awarded amount is to address the historically disproportionate impacts to communities and to revitalize land for public benefit within the Project Site. In doing so, equitable development is promoted by advancing economic opportunity, preventing displacement, increasing connectivity, developing healthy and safe communities, and supporting environmental justice.

On October 24, 2022, the City approved a Professional Services Agreement with WSP USA, Inc. (WSP; Formerly Wood Environment & Infrastructure Inc.) to be the environmental consultant for the ECRG Grant. Prior to approval of the Professional Services Agreement, the RWQCB has requested additional vapor remediation and associated sampling and testing to be completed, specifically Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE), a remediation process for volatile contaminants.

On April 8, 2024, a First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement was approved to authorize the requested term extension and scope of work modification. The additional SVE work required by the RWQCB was estimated to cost $800,000. The Professional Services Agreement that had a completion date of December 31, 2024, was extended to December 31, 2025.

On April 10, 2025, a Second Amendment was approved, which included the additional services set forth in Consultant’s February 26, 2025 “Second Amendment Request to Professional Services Agreement for Remediation Consulting Services at the former Berk Oil Site.” The Second Amendment increased the total Not-To-Exceed amount of $1,629,907 by $650,000, for a new total not-to-exceed sum of $2,279,907 due to the additional SVE services required.

On September 9, 2025, a Third Amendment was approved, which amended the Scope of Work and increased the existing Professional Services Agreement by $391,500, for a new total not- to-exceed sum of $2,671,407. The Third Amendment funded the extended SVE pilot test, continued groundwater and soil vapor sampling and reporting and all other efforts leading to ��
the remediation of the Site and Project completion. The Third Amendment also extended the completion date to February 28, 2026.

The City has been advised that the Professional Services Agreement scope of work, compensation and completion date need to be amended to allow for additional services. The proposed amendment would increase the existing not-to-exceed compensation of $2,671,407 by $48,000, for a new not-to-exceed sum of $2,719,407 and would extend the completion date to February 28, 2027, to align with the agreements of other consultants involved in this Project.

The $48,000 project increase will be allocated away from a separate professional services agreement also associated with the ECRG, thus the funds remain within the total grant amount awarded to the City.

CONCLUSION:

Consultant has provided necessary consulting services to the City and has an understanding of the environmental activities that have taken place at the Site. Based on their work to date and the additional steps needed to continue helping the City coordinate remediation of the Site, staff recommend that the City Council approve a Fourth Amendment to increase the not-to- exceed sum by $48,000 and extend the completion date to February 28, 2027.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of the proposed Fourth Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement would have no fiscal impact to the City as consultants and other parties would be supported in full by the ECRG Grant funds.

JUNE 2026 SUPPLEMENTAL PROPOSAL

WSP USA
3560 Hyland Ave Suite 100
Costa Mesa, CA 92626

June 06, 2026
Mr. John N. Yonai
Tierra West Advisors, Inc.
2616 E. 3rd Street
Los Angeles, CA, 90033
Subject: Detection of Vinyl Chloride during SVE Pilot Test at Berk Oil Dear Mr. Yonai,
WSP USA Inc. (WSP) has prepared this Technical Memorandum describing recent detection of vinyl chloride (VC) during soil vapor extraction (SVE) pilot testing at the former Berk Oil facility located in Bell Gardens, CA (City). Between September 2024 and January 2025, WSP completed the initial SVE pilot test at Berk Oil following our SVE Work Plan, which was reviewed and approved by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). The initial SVE pilot test was conducted using two dual-complete extraction wells designated SVE-1A/1B and SVE-2A/2B (the "A" wells are shallow, while "B" wells are deeper). WSP rented the SVE system, which is operated through a various locations permit issued by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The pilot test was completed following the SVE work plan and SVE system permit requirements. However, because of some inconclusive results, WSP recommended implementing an extended SVE pilot testing at the site to evaluate recovered concentrations of volatile organic compound (VOC) in soil vapor and the mass removal rate at a larger pilot testing study area because of uncertainties in SVE effectiveness. VOC compliance sampling results were all within SCAQMD permit limitations, including VC.

WSP prepared a work plan for the extended SVE pilot test, which proposed installing three new vapor extraction wells for continued SVE pilot testing in the southeastern portion of the site. In addition, three new nested vapor probes (VP) were also proposed for monitoring changes in vapor concentrations and vacuum reading with continued SVE pilot test operation. This work was funded through a contract extension to WSP authorized by the City and funded through the ECRG grant.

Following the RWQCB approval of our work plan, WSP installed the three new vapor extraction wells (SVE- 3A/3B, -4A/4B, and -5A/B) and three new vapor probes and restarted the SVE system. However, VOC sampling results using the new vapor extraction wells reported concentrations of VC exceeding the SCAQMD permit limitations (as described above, VC was not detected in any of the system permit samples analyzed during the original SVE pilot test). WSP did some system updates to try and address the VC issue, but additional vapor sample results continued to exceed permit limits for VC. Thus, in December 2025, WSP notified the RWQCB about detection of elevated concentrations of VC in the system vapor samples. To address VC detections, the various locations permit for the SVE system allows for adding an adsorber canister containing at least 2,000 pounds of PUR -KMn604-zelolite media (permanganate), since VC is not absorbed by granular activated carbon (GAC).

Because VC was not detected during the original SVE pilot test, it was not expected to be present during the ongoing extended pilot test. To address the VC issue, the first GAC vessel needs to be replaced with 2,000 pounds permanganate pursuant to permit requirements. (Permanganate is a strong oxidizer and will likely need to be treated as a hazardous waste when the extended SVE pilot test is finished. ) The anticipated task to complete the extended SVE pilot test includes:

1. Replace the first vessel with 2,000 pounds of permanganate. ��
