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:General Motion To Waive Full Reading And Approve Ordinances By Title Only Pursuant To California Government Code Section 36934
DATE:June 22, 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 Council Members
FROM: Manuel Acosta, Acting City Manager
BY: Manuel Carrillo, Director of Finance and Administrative Services Andrew J. Tse, Human Resources Manager
SUBJECT: A Resolution of the City Council Revising the Fiscal Year 2026- 2027 Annual Budget Amending the Compensation for the Housing Programs Manager Position
DATE:June 22, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached Resolution revising the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Budget amending the salary schedule and compensation of the Housing Program Manager position.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

In 2022, the City of Bell Gardens created its Rent Stabilization and Tenant Eviction Protections Program (RSTEP). In order to properly run the RSTEP Program, the City Council authorized additional staff positions pursuant to Resolution No. 2024-06.

At the time, the position of Housing Programs Manager was authorized as a Housing Programs Supervisor based on available information from established programs.

Subsequent to the establishment of the position, the title of the position was amended from Housing Programs Supervisor to Housing Programs Manager in an effort to increase interest and attract a qualified applicant pool, albeit without the associated adjustment in compensation reflecting a manager level position. The title change was approved by the City Council pursuant to Resolution No. 2024-44, and was applied to the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 budget process.

At the time of the establishment of the position, the RSTEP Program was new to the City.

While staff surveyed surrounding cities with similar programs, it was difficult to predict the specific needs for the City.
��
The current Housing Programs Manager classification focuses on Rent Stabilization, rental assistance, Cal-Home, first-time homebuyer assistance, and supervision of Housing Division staff. Since the implementation of the position, the duties evolved and have assumed substantial additional responsibilities including administration of a $2.7 million HUD Lead Hazard Reduction and Healthy Homes Grant, oversight of HUD CDBG Residential Rehabilitation activities, management of PLHA and CalHome programs, federal and state grant compliance, environmental review requirements, procurement oversight, contractor management, and direct responsibility for federal performance reporting.

It is recommended that the salary schedule of the Housing Programs Manager position be amended as follows to align with other mid-management positions.

Housing Programs Manager M2-89 $11,401-13,858
CONCLUSION:

The proposed revision to the salary schedule and compensation of the Housing Programs Manager position reflects the duties and responsibilities of the position and aligns with mid- management positions across different occupational disciplines.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed revision is not expected to have an impact on the General Fund. The proposed revision will be funded by HUD grant funds and program registration revenue.

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 22, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

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

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION:

AB 481 requires law enforcement agencies to obtain governing body approval of a Military Equipment Use Policy (“Policy”) and to renew that approval annually. The Bell Gardens Police Department’s (“Police Department”) Policy was originally adopted on May 9, 2022 (Ordinance No. 923) and has been renewed each year thereafter, most recently on September 22, 2025 (Ordinance No. 959).

In compliance with the annual requirements set forth in AB 481, the Police Department completed its 2025 Military Equipment Annual Report (“Report”). The Policy and Report were posted on the Police Department’s website on Monday, April 6, 2026, and made available for public review. 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 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 Report:
• Complaints or Concerns: There were no complaints of concerns reported on the use of the equipment under the Policy.
• Internal Audit: The Police Department conducted an internal audit and determined that there were no violations of the Policy.
��
• Intention to Purchase Additional Equipment: The Police 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 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.

At the Regular Council Meeting of June 8, 2026, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 969, by title only, with a unanimous vote.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

CONCLUSION:

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

Chemical agent munitions, commonly called “tear gas,” are used as a non-lethal option/tool to disperse rioting subjects/barricaded suspects per Bell Gardens Police Department Policy and applicable law. 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.

ORDINANCE NO. 971

AN ORDINANCE OF THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF BELL GARDENS

AUTHORIZING THE BELL GARDENS CITY COUNCIL TO SELL THE

BELL GARDENS MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM TO THE GOLDEN

STATE WATER COMPANY
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 the 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 resolved to ask the City’s voters for permission to accept that Proposal and sell the Water System to Golden State (Pub. Util.

Code, § 10061).

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF BELL GARDENS DO HEREBY ORDAIN 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 of Bell Gardens is hereby authorized to sell the Water System to Golden State.

SECTION 3. For at least the following reasons, the City 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 ��
Ordinance No. 971
2 of 4
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.

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. The City recognizes that Golden State must also obtain approval by the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) to purchase the Water System. The sale permitted by this Ordinance is therefore expressly conditioned upon such approval by the CPUC on terms acceptable to the City Council. This Ordinance authorizes, but does not obligate, the City Council to sell the Water System to Golden State. The City Council retains full discretion, at any time prior to closing the transaction, to decline to proceed with the sale if the CPUC imposes conditions, requirements, or modifications to the Proposal that, in the judgment of the City Council, would materially diminish the anticipated benefits to the City or its residents, including but not limited to impacts on water rates, service quality, reliability, or other material terms and conditions of service.

SECTION 5. This Ordinance 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 6. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance 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 Ordinance. The people of Bell Gardens hereby declare that they ��
Ordinance No. 971
3 of 4
would have adopted this Ordinance, 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.

SECTION 7. The Mayor shall sign, and the City Clerk shall attest to the passage of this Ordinance upon certification by the City Council of the results of the election approving it. This Ordinance shall go into effect ten days thereafter. (Elec. Code, § 9217.)

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 Douglas Benash, P.E., City Engineer
SUBJECT:Consideration of Award of a Construction Contract for the Ford Park Playground and Restroom Improvements (CIP No. 3926)
DATE:June 22, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council:
1) Award a construction contract to KASA Construction Inc. in the amount of $2,297,509 for the Ford Park Playground and Restroom Improvements Project (CIP No. 3926); and 2) Authorize the Acting City Manager to execute the Construction Contract and approve change orders that may be necessary during construction to cover any unforeseen condition in an amount not to exceed 5% of the construction contract; and 3) Appropriate an additional $265,125 in General Funds to cover all construction and project management costs.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

In November 2016, Los Angeles County voters approved the Safe, Clean Neighborhood Parks, Open Space Beaches, Rivers Protection, and Water Conservation Measure (Measure A), administered by the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District. The City was awarded $1,046,902 in Measure A funds for the Ford Park Playground and Restroom Replacement Project. The scope of work included demolition of the existing restroom and playground, construction of a prefabricated restroom facility, and installation of new playground equipment and related site improvements. The demolition of the Ford Park East Restroom/Sunshine Building was completed in August 2025.

On November 27, 2025, the City Council approved the plans and specifications and authorized staff to solicit bids for the Ford Park Playground and Restroom Improvements Project, CIP No. 3926 (the “Project”). On December 19, 2025, the City issued a Notice Inviting Sealed Bids ��
(NISB) for the Project. On January 27, 2026, the City received a total of fourteen (14) bid proposals for the Project. After reviewing the bids, staff recommended rejection of all bids received and determined that the bid solicitation materials needed to be revised to obtain a bid that is more appropriate for the City’s needs. The City reissued a NISB for the Project on February 23, 2026. On March 19, 2026, the City received a total of eight (8) bid proposals.

After reviewing the bids, staff recommended rejection of all bids received and determined that the bid solicitation materials needed to be revised further to obtain a bid that is more appropriate for the City’s needs. The City reissued a NISB for the Project on April 30, 2026.

The NISB was advertised on the City’s website and in the City’s local newspaper. The Project scope of work includes the construction of a new playground area with a new pre-fabricated restroom building, new playground equipment, new resilient rubberized surfacing, new concrete play area bond beam, new concrete walkways, new site furnishings (picnic tables, bench/chair seating, waste receptacles), new drinking fountain, new site lighting, new irrigation, new tree and shrub plantings, and all other items as required to provide a completely operational facility. The Project will be completed in three phases as follows:
•Phase 1 – Procurement Phase. It will be thirty (30) calendar days from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed for this phase to accomplish approvals of all project submittals along with issuance of contractor purchase orders for all items including tentative schedules for long lead items. To accommodate long lead times for the playground equipment and manufactured (prefabricated) restroom, the City will authorize the contractor to bill up to 50% of the cost for these items once a formal manufacturer’s order confirmation is provided.
•Phase 2 – Playground Equipment Installation Phase. It will be sixty (60) working days from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed, ten (10) days prior to the anticipated delivery of the playground equipment. This phase will include area grading, drainage, concrete removal and installation, removal of proposed restroom area along with preparing the site, including water, sewer and electrical stub-outs for the prefabricated restroom, including new temporary fencing to secure the prefabricated restroom site, installation of new concrete walkways, playground equipment, park amenities, landscaping, irrigation, and all other work to complete the Project, less the installation of the prefabricated restroom
•Phase 3 – Prefabricated Restroom Installation. It will be thirty (30) working days from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed, five (5) working days from the anticipated delivery of the prefabricated restroom. This phase will include all work to install and connect the prefabricated restroom to the site with associated concrete work.

On June 4, 2026, the City received a total of seven (7) bid proposals for the Project, listed as follows:

Bidder’s Name Base Bid Amount
Zeco, Inc. $2,167,837.05
KAZA Construction, Inc. $2,297,509.00
Doja Inc. $2,343,000.00
��
PUB Construction Inc. $2,422,656.00
ABNY General Engineering $2,516,892.00
NORSE $2,589,069.00
G2K Construction Inc. $2,676,500.00
Staff conducted an analysis of the apparent lowest bidder, Zeco, Inc. (Zeco), and determined that the bidder did not provide documentation that it had retained a certified manufacturer installer for the Project playground equipment and playground surfacing with its bid. Per the Project’s NISB, which is a part of the Specifications, failure to provide the documentation would determine the bid as nonresponsive.

Staff then conducted an analysis of the second lowest bidder, KASA Construction, Inc. (KASA), including a review of the bid schedule, bid bond, contractor’s license, references, and all required documentation. KASA’s license is current and active, and reference checks revealed that the contractor’s previous projects were completed satisfactorily. KASA submitted all required documents per the bid documents and the DIR Registration was also reviewed and deemed satisfactory. It has been determined that KASA is the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Bidder’s Name Base Bid Amount
KAZA Construction, Inc. $2,297,509.00
Therefore, staff recommends award of a construction contract to KASA for the base bid amount of $2,297,509.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

This Project has been reviewed in accordance with Section 21084 of the California Public Resources Code, which requires Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). The Guidelines are required to include a list of classes of projects which have been determined to have a significant effect on the environment, and which are exempt from the provisions of CEQA. In response to that mandate, staff identified classes of projects that do not have a significant effect on the environment and are declared to be categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents. In accordance with Section 15301 "Existing Facilities," Class 1 projects consist of operation, repair, and maintenance of existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities, therefore, the Project is considered categorically exempt from CEQA, and a Notice of Exemption has been prepared and will be filed with the County Clerk’s Office.

CONCLUSION:

If the Construction Contract is awarded, staff will process the contract for signatures and coordinate a pre-construction meeting with KASA.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The FY2026/2027 Capital Improvement Program Budget includes $2,350,847 for the Project.

The construction contract cost is $2,297,509. The total cost for the construction phase, including construction, construction contingency, project management, construction ��
management and inspections is $2,616,000. Therefore, an additional appropriation of $265,125 in General Funds is recommended to cover the shortfall.

The table below illustrates the proposed Project budget:

Revised Construction Budget Amount
Measure A Competitive Grant $ 958,169
Measure A Annual Allocation $ 674,465
General Funds $ 300,000
Requested General Fund Appropriation $ 265,125 Prop 68 Per Capita Grant Program $ 204,078
Safe Clean Water – Measure W $ 100,000
Development Impact Fees Parks - Facilities $ 81,150 TDA Article 3 $ 33,013

Policy must include: (1) coverage for any ensuing loss from faulty workmanship, nonconforming work, omission or deficiency in design or specifications; (2) coverage against machinery accidents and operational testing; (3) coverage for removal of debris, and insuring the buildings, structures, machinery, equipment, materials, facilities, fixtures and all other properties constituting a part of the Project; (4) ordinance or law coverage for contingent rebuilding, demolition, and increased costs of construction; (5) transit coverage (unless insured by the supplier or receiving contractor), with sublimits sufficient to insure the full replacement value of any key equipment item; (6) ocean marine cargo coverage insuring any Project materials or supplies, if applicable; and (7) coverage with sublimits sufficient to insure the full replacement value of any property or equipment stored either on or off the site or any staging area. Such insurance shall be on a form acceptable to CITY to ensure adequacy of terms and sublimits and shall be submitted to the CITY prior to commencement of construction.

K. Installation floater. If required by the CITY or not covered by builders’ risk (course of construction) coverage, CONTRACTOR shall obtain an installation floater for the value of the property and covering the portion of the work to be constructed, installed, altered, ��
or repaired by CONTRACTOR. The installation floater policy must include coverage for the fixtures, materials, supplies, machinery, and equipment used in or incidental to the construction project as well as property kept off-site or while in transit. Coverage must include property of others in the CONTRACTOR’s care, custody, or control. In addition to CONTRACTOR, the CITY and all subcontractors shall be named as additional insureds on the policy with coverage extending through the final completion date.

L. Other provisions or requirements:

Proof of insurance. CONTRACTOR shall provide certificates of insurance and required endorsements to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by CITY’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with CITY for the contract period and any additional length of time required thereafter.

CITY reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time and CONTRACTOR agrees to provide the same.

Duration of coverage. CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain for the contract period, and any additional length of time required thereafter, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, or financial loss which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder by CONTRACTOR, its agents, representatives, employees, subcontractors or subconsultants. CONTRACTOR must maintain general liability and umbrella or excess liability insurance for as long as there is a statutory exposure to completed operations claims. CITY and its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall continue as additional insureds under such policies.

Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by CONTRACTOR shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by CITY shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of CITY before the CITY’s own insurance or self- insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

Products/completed operations coverage. Products/completed operations coverage shall extend a minimum of three (3) years after Project completion. Coverage shall be included on behalf of the insured for covered claims arising out of the actions of independent contractors. If the insured is using subcontractors, the policy must include work performed “by or on behalf” of the insured. Policy shall contain no language that would invalidate or remove the insurer’s duty to defend or indemnify for claims or suits expressly excluded from coverage. Policy shall specifically provide for a duty to defend on the part of the insurer. The CITY, its officials, officers, agents, and employees, shall be included as additional insureds under the products and completed operations coverage. ��
CITY’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Contract does not comply with these requirements or is canceled and not replaced, CITY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary, and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by CONTRACTOR or CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from CONTRACTOR payments. In the alternative, CITY may cancel this Contract.

Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the CITY’s Risk Manager.

Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this Contract shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees, and volunteers or shall specifically allow CONTRACTOR or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. CONTRACTOR hereby waives its own right of recovery against CITY and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). CONTRACTOR acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the CITY to inform CONTRACTOR of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the CITY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the CONTRACTOR maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the CITY requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the CONTRACTOR. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the CITY.

Notice of cancellation. CONTRACTOR agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide the CITY with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage. If any of the CONTRACTOR’s insurers are unwilling to provide such notice, then CONTRACTOR shall have the responsibility of notifying the CITY immediately in the event of CONTRACTOR’s failure to renew any of the required insurance coverages, or insurer’s cancellation or non-renewal. ��
Additional insured status. General liability, automobile liability, and umbrella/excess liability insurance policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that CITY and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies.

Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to CITY and approved of in writing.

Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that CONTRACTOR’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.

Pass through clause. CONTRACTOR agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party who is brought onto or involved in the Project by CONTRACTOR (hereinafter collectively “subcontractor”), provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of CONTRACTOR under this Contract.

CONTRACTOR agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this Section. However, in the event CONTRACTOR’s subcontractor cannot comply with this requirement, which proof must be submitted to the CITY in writing, CONTRACTOR may still be able to utilize the subcontractor provided CONTRACTOR shall be required to ensure that its subcontractor provide and maintain insurance coverage and endorsements sufficient to the specific risk of exposure involved with subcontractor’s scope of work and services, with limits less than required of the CONTRACTOR, but in all other terms consistent with the CONTRACTOR’s requirements under this Contract. This provision does not relieve the CONTRACTOR of its contractual obligations under the Contract and/or limit its liability to the amount of insurance coverage provided by its subcontractors. This provision is intended solely to provide CONTRACTOR with the ability to utilize a subcontractor who may be otherwise qualified to perform the work or services but may not carry the same insurance limits as required of the CONTRACTOR under this Contract given the limited scope of work or services provided by the subcontractor. CONTRACTOR agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors, and others engaged in the project, will be submitted to CITY for review.

CITY’s right to revise requirements. The CITY reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the CONTRACTOR a ninety (90)-day advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the CONTRACTOR, the CITY and CONTRACTOR may renegotiate CONTRACTOR’s compensation.

Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by CITY. CITY reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible, or require proof of ability to pay losses and related ��
investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention through confirmation from the underwriter.

Timely notice of claims. CONTRACTOR shall give CITY prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from CONTRACTOR’s performance under this Contract, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Additional insurance. CONTRACTOR shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of its work on the Project.

ARTICLE VI (INDEMNIFICATION)
A. CONTRACTOR shall indemnify, defend with legal counsel approved by CITY, and hold harmless CITY, its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against all claims for and actual liabilities, losses, damages, expenses, costs (including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees, expert fees, and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature relating to, arising out of or in connection with CONTRACTOR’s, its officers, agents, employees, or subcontractors (or any agency or individual that CONTRACTOR shall bear the legal liability thereof) negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct in the performance of work on and/or connected with the Project or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Contract, except such loss or damage which is caused by the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Should conflict of interest principles preclude a single attorney from representing both CITY and CONTRACTOR, or should CITY otherwise find CONTRACTOR’s attorney unacceptable, then CONTRACTOR shall reimburse the CITY its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees, expert fees, and all other costs and fees of litigation. The CONTRACTOR shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against the Indemnified Parties with respect to claims determined by a trier of fact to have been the result of the CONTRACTOR’s negligent, reckless, or wrongful act, omission or performance. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this Contract.

B. CONTRACTOR’s obligations under this Section apply regardless of whether or not such claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost, expense, judgment, civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to by Indemnified Parties. However, without affecting the rights of Indemnified Parties under any provision of this Contract, CONTRACTOR shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless Indemnified Parties for liability attributable to the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of Indemnified Parties, provided such sole or active negligence or willful misconduct is determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In instances where Indemnified Parties are shown to have been solely or actively negligent or to have acted with willful misconduct and where Indemnified Parties’ sole or active negligence or willful misconduct accounts for only a percentage of ��
the liability involved, the obligation of CONTRACTOR will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of Indemnified Parties.

ARTICLE VII (EXECUTION)
CONTRACTOR affirms that the signatures, titles and seals set forth hereinafter in execution of this Contract represent all individuals, firm members, partners, joint ventures, and/or corporate officers having principal interest herein.

ARTICLE VIII (COMPLETION DATE)
The CONTRACTOR shall complete all work, in every detail within one hundred and ten (110) working days from the effective date of the Notice-to-Proceed with the Work to be issued by the CITY.

(d) CONTRACTOR agrees to comply with the provisions of California Labor Code Section 1776 which requires CONTRACTOR and each subcontractor to (i) keep accurate payroll records, (ii) certify and make such payroll records available for inspection ��
as provided by Section 1776, and (iii) inform the CITY of the location of the records.

CONTRACTOR is responsible for compliance with Section 1776 by itself and all of its subcontractors.
(e) CONTRACTOR agrees to comply with the provisions of California Labor Code Section 1777.5 concerning the employment of apprentices on public works projects, and further agrees that CONTRACTOR is responsible for compliance with Section 1777.5 by itself and all of its subcontractors.

CONTRACTOR may, with the approval of the Director of Public Works/Facilities, or their designee, use its employees to carry out work on the Project beyond the normal eight (8) hour workday and on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays provided the employees are paid at the following hourly rates:
•Week days (Monday through Friday) after eight (8) hours daily and not to exceed twelve (12) hours daily total per day and not exceeding forty- eight (48) hours work in a seven (7) day period week at one and one- half (1.5) times the prevailing hourly wage for the initial eight (8) hours of regular work time for the time worked after the initial eight (8) hours regular time.

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 Douglas Benash, P.E., City Engineer
SUBJECT:Consideration of a Resolution Approving a Modification to the Street Sweeping Parking Restriction Hours
DATE:June 22, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council:

1. Adopt the attached Resolution approving the modification of street sweeping parking restriction hours and modify 148 street sweeping signs throughout the City of Bell Gardens; and

2. Rescind Resolution No. 2026-57.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

Street sweeping acts as a tool to prevent stormwater pollution. The City of Bell Gardens (City) operates under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit which requires agencies to implement routine maintenance programs to reduce pollutant runoff; including street sweeping. To ensure regulatory compliance, staff evaluated current street sweeping schedules and patterns to meet NPDES MS4 Permit requirements while effectively serving the Bell Gardens community.

EXISTING CONDITIONS:

The City of Bell Gardens streets are swept Tuesday through Thursday between 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., as follows and shown in Figure 1:
• The east side is scheduled for street sweeping every Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.,
• The northwest side is scheduled for street sweeping every Tuesday from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.,
• The southwest side is scheduled for street sweeping every Wednesday from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
��
• Major streets are swept on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.

Figure 1 - City of Bell Gardens Street Sweeping Hours.

INVESTIGATION AND DISCUSSION:

Staff meets regularly with the City’s contractor, Nationwide, to discuss street sweeping operations. Parked cars and vehicles following too closely behind the sweeper significantly limit the sweeper’s ability to access debris by the curb and revisit the area if the curbs are missed. Additionally, these parking obstructions are delaying sweeping operations, and the sweeper is unable to reach some areas within the posted timeframes.

As a result, staff reviewed the current street sweeping hours to address the existing concerns and recommend the following modifications:

•North of Gage Avenue proposed new hours are 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. while south of Garfield Avenue will remain 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. A total of 55 signs will need to be modified for Tuesday’s schedule, as shown in Figure 2.
•North of Clara Street proposed new hours are 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. while south of Clara Street will remain 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. A total of 30 signs will need to be modified for Wednesday’s schedule, as shown in Figure 3. •North of Loveland Street proposed new hours are 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. while south of Loveland Street will remain 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. A total of 63 signs will need to ��
be modified for Thursday’s schedule, as shown in Figure 4.

A total of 148 signs throughout the City of Bell Gardens will need to be modified to complete this request.

Figure 2 – Proposed Schedule for Tuesdays Residential Street Sweeping. ��
Figure 3 – Proposed Schedule for Wednesdays Residential Street Sweeping.

Figure 4 – Proposed Schedule for Thursdays Residential Street Sweeping.

CONCLUSION:
��
After a review of field conditions, documentation, and the Policy, the City Traffic Engineer recommends approving for City Council consideration of modification of street sweeper hours and replacement of 148 street sweeping signs throughout the City of Bell Gardens.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The estimated cost for the installation of street sweep signs/posts is approximately $4,550.

Funds for materials and labor are available in the Street Maintenance Budget.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Manuel Acosta, Acting City Manager

BY: Bernardo Iniguez, Director of Public Works/Facilities Douglas Benash, P.E., City Engineer

SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Determining and Authorizing a Four-Way Stop at Lubec Street and Purdy Avenue

DATE: June 22, 2026

RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution approving the installation of a Four-Way Stop at Lubec Street and Purdy Avenue.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

Staff received a request to install a four-way stop sign (called an All-Way-Stop intersection) at the intersection of Lubec Street and Purdy Avenue. The item was referred to the Public Works Department for further investigation. Figure 1 shows the general site location.

Figure 1 – Existing Conditions of the Intersection of Lubec Street and Purdy Avenue.

��
EXISTING CONDITIONS:

The City Engineer completed a site investigation of the location to confirm existing intersection and sight distance conditions. Lubec Street meets Purdy Avenue as a four-legged intersection. Vehicles are parked near the intersection.

INVESTIGATION AND DISCUSSION:

Based on the residents’ concerns, the City Engineer reviewed any past reports for this intersection to identify all safety issues. The review included available traffic volume and pedestrian counts and accident history that may have been collected and reviewed for this intersection.

Regarding the request for the installation of an All-Way-Stop Intersection at this location, the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) has established three (3) different warrants most applicable to residential street intersections, one of which must be satisfied before stop sign installations can be classified as warranted. The warrants are summarized as follows:

1. Collisions – Involving five (5) or more reported crashes in a 12-month period that are susceptible to corrections by an All-Way-Stop installation. Such crashes include right-turn and left-turn collisions as well as right-angle collisions.

2. Volumes – The vehicular volume entering the intersection from the major street approaches (total of both approaches) average at least 300 vehicles per hour for each of any 8 hours on an average day. The combined vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle volumes for the minor street approaches (total for both approaches) averages at least 200 units per hour for the same 8 hours, with an average delay to the minor-street traffic of at least 30 seconds per vehicle during the highest hour.

3. Sight Distance – Locations where a road user, after stopping, cannot see conflicting traffic and is not able to negotiate the intersection unless conflicting cross traffic is also required to stop to ensure safety. Evidence that sight distance is a contributing factor will be supported by the existence of traffic collisions which could be susceptible to correction by installing stop signs.

Collision Warrant:

SWITRS (Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System) data was acquired from the CHP (California Highway Patrol) via TIMS and reviewed to determine the frequency of traffic collisions for the subject intersection. Traffic collision records for this intersection were reviewed for the most recent three (3) year period (between 12-31-2022 to 12-31-2025). The CA MUTCD stop sign warrant requires an individual intersection to experience five or more reported collisions in a 12-month period susceptible to correction by an All-Way-Stop installation. A review of the reported accident history for three years revealed 1 accident at the Lubec Street and Purdy Avenue intersection. The accident history is shown in Figure 2. This collision was due to improper turning where the driver crashed into parked vehicles. This type of collision is not considered correctable with the installation of a stop sign. Crash details can be seen in Figure 3.

��

Figure 3 – Crash Details at the Intersection of Lubec Street and Purdy Avenue.

Traffic Volume Warrant:

The traffic volume warrant for a multi-way stop installation, as defined in the CA MUTCD, requires that the combined vehicular volume entering the intersection from the major-street approaches average at least 300 vehicles per hour for each of any eight hours of an average day. In addition, the combined volume on the minor-street approaches must average at least ��
200 units per hour (including vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles) during the same eight-hour period.

Traffic counts collected at the intersection of Lubec Street and Purdy Avenue were analyzed to evaluate compliance with this warrant. Observed volumes are summarized below:

• Purdy Avenue (south of Lubec Street): 418 vehicles over 8 hours • Purdy Avenue (north of Lubec Street): 734 vehicles over 8 hours • Lubec Street (west of Purdy Avenue): 4,049 vehicles over 8 hours • Lubec Street (east of Purdy Avenue): 4,127 vehicles over 8 hours

The results indicate that the major street (Lubec Street) exceeds the minimum volume threshold for only 3 out of the 8 hours. However, the minor street (Purdy Avenue) volumes are significantly below the required 200 units per hour threshold, and therefore do not satisfy the CA MUTCD criteria.

Sight Distance Warrant:

The CA MUTCD recommends a minimum of 155 feet of clear stopping sight distance on 25 MPH street for motorists to avoid collisions with other vehicles. Based on a field review of existing conditions, there is a need to improve the existing sight distance and safety at this intersection as the prima facie speed limit is 25 MPH for both streets.

To further evaluate the stopping sight distance requirements at this intersection, the above CA MUTCD information was used to evaluate the intersection stopping sight distance as seen from Lubec Street. Based upon the prima facie approach speed of 25 MPH and the driver eye height location being back 15 feet minimum from the existing curb line extensions on Purdy Avenue, a sight distance triangle was plotted. The 15 feet location point is used by Caltrans in the Highway Design Manual and AASHTO for intersection sight distance evaluations. Based on the review of the plotted triangle, the intersection needs to be clear of obstructions or parked vehicles to allow a motorist to come to a complete and safe stop at the prima facie speed of 25 MPH. This review indicates that red curb on Lubec Street and Purdy Avenue is helping the sight distance for motorists.

Field observations indicate that the installation of an All-Way-Stop at the existing intersection could moderately increase sight distance and improve the motorists’ visibility.

CA MUTCD ADDITIONAL CRITERIA:

The CA MUTCD, Section 2B.17 for All-Way-Stop Applications, allows other criteria that may be considered in the engineering study when considering the installation of stop signs. They include:

A. The need to control left turn conflicts.

This is not applicable due to no left turn conflict accidents over the past three years.

B. An intersection of two (2) residential neighborhood collector (through) streets of similar design and operating characteristics where All-Way-Stop control would improve traffic operational characteristics of the intersection.

��
Lubec Street is classified as a collector with Purdy Avenue a local residential street, therefore the criteria is not met.

C. Where pedestrian and/or bicyclist movements support the installation of All-Way-Stop control.

No Pedestrian and/or bicycle movements were observed during the investigation period.

In conclusion, it is the City Engineer’s findings that the installation of an All-Way-Stop sign at this intersection of Lubec Street and Purdy Avenue meets the required CA MUTCD criteria for the sight distance warrant and CA MUTCD Section 2B.14. Additionally, staff will add this intersection to the list of potential future “Complete Street” projects. This means the intersection will be evaluated to address operational and safety concerns and identify applicable “Complete Street” improvements. Funding for improvements can then be later pursued through competitive grants.

On June 2, 2026, the Traffic and Safety Commission directed staff to request City Council consideration of the following improvements at the subject intersection:

1. Install two (2) 30 inch Stop Signs on Lubec Street in the east and west corners of the intersection;

2. Install limit lines and STOP legends on Lubec Street approaches; and

3. Refresh all other intersection striping.

CONCLUSION:

After the City Engineer’s review and evaluation of the aforementioned data, including warrant conditions and the operational criteria in the CA MUTCD Section 2B.14 – All-Way-Stop, it is determined that an All-Way-Stop sign intersection at Lubec Street and Purdy Avenue is warranted.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The estimated cost for installing the new stop sign, legends, and curb painting is approximately $750 and is available in the current Street Maintenance Budget.

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 Third Amendment to the Contract Services Agreement with Econolite Systems, Inc. for Traffic Signal Maintenance and Repair Services

DATE: June 22, 2026

RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the Acting City Manager to execute a Third Amendment to the Contract Services Agreement with Econolite Systems, Inc.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

In May 2021, the City of Bell Gardens (“City”) entered into a Contract Services Agreement (“Agreement”) with Econolite Systems, Inc. (“Econolite”) for traffic signal maintenance and repair services. The scope of services under the Agreement includes the maintenance of the City’s 38 traffic signals and flashing beacons to minimize disruption to vehicular traffic from signal malfunctions; ensure well-maintained equipment; and improve traffic safety throughout the City. The term of the Agreement was for three years, through April 30, 2024, with an option to extend for up to two additional one-year terms.

On April 16, 2024, the Agreement was amended by way of a Side Letter to exercise the right to extend the term through April 30, 2025; and on April 30, 2025, the Agreement was amended by way of a Side Letter to exercise the right to extend the term through April 30, 2026. On June 18, 2025, the City executed a First Amendment with Econolite to approve a 3% CPI adjustment. May 20, 2026, the City executed a Second Amendment with Econolite to extend the term through June 30, 2026.

On June 9, 2026, the City received a letter from Econolite proposing a three-month extension through September 30, 2026, under the same terms and conditions of the Agreement.

Econolite has performed its services satisfactorily to date.

Public Works is currently working to release a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) for the maintenance and operation of traffic signals, including the new H.A.W.K. signal that will be installed as part of ATP Cycle 5 Improvements. It is anticipated that a contract award ��
recommendation will be presented to the City Council for consideration in September 2026. If approved, the new contract would have an effective date of October 1, 2026. Therefore, staff recommends the approval of a Third Amendment to the Agreement, as this will allow for the completion of a competitive solicitation. There are sufficient funds in the City’s FY 2026/2027 operating budget to cover the cost; however, the Agreement’s Not-to-Exceed amount will need to be increased from $65,000 to $80,400 to cover three months of additional services from Econolite.

CONCLUSION:

Approval of the Third Amendment will extend the term of the Agreement through September 30, 2026, to allow the City to undergo a competitive solicitation process.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for the traffic maintenance services is available in the FY 2026/2027 budget.

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 Jules Tak, Accounting Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolutions Approving a Professional Services Agreement with LSL, LLP for Independent Financial Annual Audit Services DATE:June 22, 2026
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with LSL, LLP for independent financial audit services.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

Municipalities are required to obtain an independent auditor to produce annual financial statements and to evaluate the City’s internal controls. The independent auditor is responsible for determining that the City’s financial statements are void of material misstatement and that the financial statements do not misrepresent the City’ s financial condition. In the evaluation of internal controls, the auditor evaluates procedures that could allow for collusion, theft, or fraud.

The Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA) best practices recommend obtaining new auditors every five years. On May 20, 2026, staff issued a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) for auditing services for a three-year term (FY 2025-2026, 2026-2027 and 2027-2028) with two optional one-year extensions. Staff released the RFP on May 20, 2026. Staff extended the deadline through June 17, 2026. The City received the following four (4) proposals from the following firms by the established submittal deadline:
•LSL, LLP
•Harshwal & Company, LLP
•Badawi & Associates, Certified Public Accountants
•Vasquez & Company LLP
��
Proposals were evaluated based on the following criteria, (1) Comprehension of the Request for Proposals, (2) Qualifications of Proposer, (3) References and (4) Fee Proposal. Although proposed fees are a component of the process, they are not solely determinative.

Based on the evaluation of the proposals, staff recommends awarding the contract to LSL, LLP based in Irvine, CA. This firm has not worked with the City before and has experience with cities of similar nature, size, and complexity, with similar services completed in the last several years in the cities of Lompoc, Orange, Rancho Cucamonga, Santa Monica and Pasadena, along with other municipalities and districts throughout the Southern California region. The firm has a history of technical expertise with professionals that specialize in government accounting and is a local firm that can respond immediately to our financial questions or concerns. The estimated cost of this audit service is $51,110 for the FY 2025-2026 audit with the costs increasing to $56,360 by FY 2029-2030 if the two- year additional options are exercised.

The following table summarizes the RFP Review. The table includes the proposer’s name, overall combined score and the projected cost for years 1-3, and the combined potential cost with the two- year renewal options.

CONCLUSION:

Audit services are crucial for the City. Through a comprehensive evaluation, LSL, LLP emerged as the most qualified Independent Financial Audit Services provider for the City.

Their technical capabilities, municipal experience, staffing model, and cost structure collectively offer the strongest alignment with the City’s financial oversight needs. ��
FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of this action is included in the City’s Operating Budget for FY 2026-2027.

At the beginning of the engagement, we will hold a planning meeting with you to determine the timeline, expectations, and desired outcome of the agreement on the issuance of financial statements. Throughout the process, we will have periodic meetings with you to provide updates and discuss progress. Upon award of contract and per the City’s requested timeline, LSL will work closely with the City to develop an audit plan and timeline to ensure compliance and timely deliverables.

A
s part of the Scope of Work and time requirements, we assume that the City will provide all necessary information needed to complete the financial statement audit and single audit, as applicable. We will proactively identify and communicate any pending information from the City that could hinder our ability to complete the objectives of the engagement in a timely manner.

UALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
LSL’s Quality Management System fully complies with the AICPA's Statement of Quality Management Standards No. 1 and showcases our unwavering commitment to excellence in audit and assurance services. Designed to meet and exceed industry standards, our framework integrates robust risk management, ethical compliance, and continuous improvement across every engagement. With clear policies for governance, client relationships, resource allocation, and performance monitoring, our system empowers every team member to deliver reliable, high-quality results. By fostering a culture of transparency, accountability, and innovation, LSL ensures clients receive exceptional service and peace of mind, backed by proven processes and a dedication to quality at every level.

ROPOSED WORK PLAN
At LSL, we use a governmental audit program that will be tailored to the City’s operations to accommodate its specific circumstances and organizational structure. LSL’s audit programs are organized by financial statement category, which we believe is the most effective and efficient approach to substantially reduce the risk of omitting important procedures. Our approach is designed to increase audit efficiency by linking financial statement assertions, audit objectives, and procedures that are basic to most governmental audit engagements.

OJECT SCHEDULE
LSL assumes under the time requirements that the City will have closed its books and will present the LSL team with general ledger balances that are auditable prior to the start of fieldwork. The following schedules present a sample timeline outlining the key stages of the audit and associated deliverables. Given the timing of the release of the RFP, an alternate schedule has been proposed for the first year of the engagement, alongside the standard schedule for reference.

LSL’S QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURES
LSL’s policy mandates that all audit and related service engagements be conducted in accordance with professional standards, applicable legal and regulatory requirements, and internal policies. Each engagement is overseen by a designated engagement partner who is responsible for quality control and supervision. We employ standardized accounting and auditing resources that are regularly updated under the guidance of the Managing Partner. Personnel are trained in their use to ensure uniformity and compliance. For engagements involving unfamiliar industries, senior team members are required to complete relevant continuing education prior to the planning phase.

All engagements are thoroughly supervised and documented with a strong emphasis on professional skepticism. Before report issuance, the engagement partner verifies sufficient supporting evidence. Additionally, the concurring partner - independent of the audit process, provides a second opinion on the financial statements. Final documentation is assembled within established deadlines and retained per LSL internal policies, legal, and professional guidelines.

OVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
LSL understands its responsibilities to perform audits and issue opinions on the City’s financial statements as well as its fair presentation. Our financial audits are performed in accordance with the Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS) issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, and our Single Audits are performed in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance .

1. PROPOSED SEGMENTATION
Our audit services will be divided into the three succeeding segments:
 S
egment 1 – Planning and Obtaining an Understanding
 Segment 2 – Financial Audit Testing
 Segment 3 – Conclusion
��
City of Bell Gardens
Auditing Services
19 www.lslcpas.com | 19
Segment 1 – Planning and Obtaining an Understanding
LSL will provide an annual audit communication letter, engagement letter, and Government Audit Quality Center Information letter. The audit communication letter is to be provided to the City Council and/or Board of Directors and can be communicated orally to those charged with governance, if requested, where we will discuss planning stages, responsibilities of the City Council and/or Board of Directors , Auditors, and Management, and provide an opportunity to communicate with us as the auditors.

A
n entrance conference will be scheduled prior to the agreed-upon week of interim testing to ensure that the transition to new auditors is as seamless as possible. Discussions in this meeting include, but are not limited to, an understanding of reports and key milestones for deliverables, prior audit reportable conditions and issues, and “Prepared by Client” (PBC) schedules.

A
trial balance is requested for our planning meeting to assist the LSL team in obtaining knowledge of economic conditions, industry elements, and new standards that may affect the City. We will compile a list of PBC items based on our review of the prior year's financial statements and the gathered information that will be provided to the City one month prior to testing or earlier if requested. We operate on a paperless software system and provide a secured cloud-based portal for all clients. The City will have a separate folder that can be customized to organize, and upload requested schedules, support documents, etc.

A
fter interim testing, we will hold an exit meeting to discuss potential weaknesses, if any, and provide feedback for improvements or valuable information gathered from any outside clientele that would benefit the City.

Se
gment 2 – Financial Audit Testing
Based on the information gathered thus far, we will utilize a customized audit program based on the risk assessment developed during our assessme nt of the City’s internal controls and Government Auditing Standards. The primary benefit of a tailored program is a focused set of procedures to address relevant areas. We believe that this approach is both effective and efficient and is critical to compliance with other material laws and regulations.

W
e will annually compile another customized PBC list for the year-end testing provided at least one month prior or earlier if requested. We will request trial balances from the City for our analytical review to be provided one week before testing is scheduled to commence. Year -end testing will include testing of the balance sheet, revenue and expenditures accounts, confirmation of selected balances, analytical procedures, evaluation of the internal controls, and preparation of reports and letters.

Segment 3 – Conclusion
Based on our year -end exit meeting we will discuss a plan to finalize the financial statements according to the timetable of the City. We w ill schedule dates for the initial and final drafts including time for LSL’s and the City’s review and approval of the financial statements. This period will also account for review by the engagement partner and quality assurance partner.

After the review and receipt of the signed Representation Letter from the City, LSL will provide a final report by the agreed-upon date each year.

For tests of controls, we use audit sampling. Tests of controls are procedures directed toward determining the effectiveness of the design or operation of an internal structure policy or procedures. Audit sampling is typically used for tests of controls and compliance that involve the inspection of documents and reports indicating the performance of the applicable policy or procedures and compliance with the applicable laws and regulations. Sample sizes vary based on the population and risk-based calculations.

3. TYP

E AND EXTENT OF ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES
For the audits of the financial statements, we will use analytical procedures as an overall review of the financial information in the preliminary and final stages of the audits. These procedures are designed to assist us in planning our audits and in assessing the propriety of the conclusions reached and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

The pr
ocedures to be utilized consist of determining expectations for changes to significant revenue, expenditure, and balance sheet accounts, reading the financial statements and related notes, reviewing the budget and related material, and focusing on overall relationships within the financial statements.

Once
determined, these are reviewed to evaluate if the changes appear reasonable or require further analysis. For all significant differences, explanations are obtained as to why the situation occurred and additional substantive procedures may be applied, and related evidence is gathered to resolve concerns and questions.

ELECT

RONIC DATA PROCESSING SOFTWARE & AI TECHNOLOGY
LSL is always at the forefront of technology and finding ways to increase efficiency in our audits.

Our goal is to effectively streamline the audit process to make the burden of an audit easier on our clients and ease any technical disagreements.

Caseware
At LSL, we partner with and utilize Caseware to perform our audits and retain electronic workpapers and supporting documentation in a fully cloud- based platform. During our preparation of the ACFR, all financial statements and schedules are linked to Casew are and audit documentation, ensuring accuracy and consistency with City records and eliminating the risk of manual errors.

LS
L Caseware Cloud Portal
Our web-based portal system provides clients with the ability to securely share information in a user-friendly platform. Integrated with Caseware OnPoint Collaborate, this state-of-the-art tool enhances collaboration in accounting and auditing. It enables direct communication with clients throughout the audit process for feedback exchange and tracks activities such as audit requests, client uploads, and progress. Access to the secure hub can be restricted to relevant individuals.

This tool eliminates the necessity of sending sensitive documents via email, enhancing efficiency. Client dashboards are customizable to meet specific needs.

D
ata Extraction & Audit Analytics
We believe software is only as effective as those who know how to use it. That's why we train all our staff and incorporate the use of Caseware Analytics AI and IDEA into our audit approach. These two complement each other to create a risk -based transaction analysis tool.

We utilize them to scan transaction sets, identify exceptions warranting further investigation, and provide additional assurances to our clients. These tools offer users a high- level summary and reduce time spent in transaction analysis by automatically performing multiple tests on the entire transaction set. They assist in identifying duplicate payments, high- risk journal entries, and developing expectations for analytical procedures used during the audit.

E
xperience With ERP Systems
Many of our clients have updated their system software with new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems over the years. We make ourselves available for questions and recommendations, including assistance with the vendor selection process. Our clients' transition to more sophisticated ERP systems has allowed us to gain a better understanding of each system and its unique capabilities. We often obtain read-only access to our clients’ software and can work directly within the system. This allows us to provide useful observations and recommendations regarding internal controls and facilitates efficient audit test work. Some of the ERP and Property Tax Systems we have extensive experience with include Tyler Technologies (Munis, New World, Eden, Incode), One Solution, Oracle, SAP, Infor, Megabyte, and more. ��

4. LSL’S APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING THE CITY ’S INTERNAL CONTROL

STRUCTURE
LSL will perform procedures as required by SAS 122-125 to obtain an understanding of the City and its environment along with assessing the risks of material misstatements in order to gain insight into the internal control structure over the financial statements. Our review will encompass various areas such as financial reporting, cash, revenues and receivables, utility billing, expenses, accounts payable, payroll, capital assets, long-term debt, and grant reporting.

We will issue a management letter (SAS 115 Letter) that identifies any significant deficiencies and/or material weaknesses found as required by the Government Auditing Standards.

Our pr
ocess is to obtain and review the City ’s annual budget book, organizational charts, standard operati ng procedures, manuals, policies, or other written documentation to identify processes and controls for critical transaction cycles. As much as is possible, we attempt to gather the data from the City’s publicly available documents prior to beginning the audit to reduce the workload of the City’s audit staff. Additionally, during Segment 1 of the audit, LSL will conduct interviews with the management of finance and responsible parties of each audit section to understand the processes and controls through observation and discussions. We will also perform sampling transactions as part of a “walk -through” process to verify that the system of control is functioning as per the policies and procedures.

5. DETE

RMINING LAWS AND REGULATIONS SUBJECT TO AUDIT TEST WORK The Laws and Regulations that will be subject to audit test work are determined by the applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements which we identify through the understanding we obtain of the City and our extensive experience with other governmental entities.

6. DRAWING

AUDIT SAMPLES FOR COMPLIANCE
The sampling procedures test the operating effectiveness of an internal control structure policy or procedure by determining how the policy or procedure was applied, the consistency with which it was applied during the audit period, and by whom it was appl ied. We will draw samples for disbursements, receipts, and payroll when applicable. Each document selected will be tested for various attributes that are designed to verify compliance with different aspects of internal controls and applicable laws and regulations. Additionally, each sample item will be tested for coding to the proper accounts and posting to the general ledger.

WORKI

NG PAPER RETENTION AND ACCESS
All working papers and reports will be retained at LSL’s expense for a minimum of five (5) years unless otherwise notified in writing by the City of the need to extend that retention period. Upon written request, we will make working papers available to parties designated by the City. ��
City of Bell Gardens
Auditing Services
23 www.lslcpas.com | 23
Furthermore, we will respond to the reasonable inquiries of successor auditors and allow successor auditors to review working papers relating to matters of continuing accounting significance.

ANTICIP

ATION OF POTENTIAL AUDIT PROBLEMS, ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CITY
Outside of the complexities that arise with the implementation of GASB pronouncements, LSL does not anticipate any audit problems or conflicts in the performance of the services requested in this RFP. Our approach is to partner with our clients to provide information, training, and the resources necessary to successfully implement any new changes in accounting principles.

As ment
ioned previously, LSL assumes that the City will provide all necessary information to complete the financial statement and single audits. The LSL team assigned to this engagement will help identify and communicate any pending information needed from the City that may hinder the engagement's objectives and timely completion. Additionally, LSL assumes that the City will have closed its books and present auditable general ledger balances.

STANDARD BILLING RATES

MANNER O

F PAYMENT
LSL offers two manners of payment to our government audit clients. The first manner of payment is an upfront payment for the services to be rendered, less a 10% retention. This payment is due upon execution of the professional services agreement or the engagement letter. We apply an additional 5% discount to the overall audit fee for up-front payments.

The sec
ond method of payment is that 90% of the total fees are invoiced in equal, monthly installment payments commencing from the month the professional services agreement or engagement letter is executed and scheduled to conclude in December each year. If the installment payment method is selected, if the scope of work is concluded earlier than December of each year, the remaining balance becomes due and payable upon completion of the annual scope of work. Under both methods, the final 10% retention is due and payable upon completion of the scope of work. The peripheral reports (e.g., the Single Audit and Appropriations Limit) are invoiced upon completion of the scope of work. Invoices will not be provided on a more than monthly interval.

Acknowledgement of City’s Standard Form of Agreement
LSL raises the following exceptions provided in APPENDIX D – ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF CITY’S STANDARD FORM OF AGREEMENT to the terms and conditions of the Sample City Professional Services Agreement set forth by the City of Bell Gardens. 2025-26 2026-27 2027-28
