SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to conduct a public hearing to consider adopting Resolution No. 25-37 – A Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Purchase and Sale Agreement, in a form approved by the City Attorney, between the City of Bellflower and the William and Mary M. Kwan Family Trust and to transfer the necessary funds from the Unassigned General Fund Reserve to the Property Acquisition Reserve for the purchase of real property located at 9855 Flower Street (APN 7109-013-032).

DATE: October 13, 2025

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Executing Purchase and Sale Agreement File No. 1113 (PSA) with the William and Mary M.

Kwan Family Trust (“Seller”) would cause the City to purchase real property located at 9855 Flower Street for $2,650,000. Acquiring the property would give the City control over its future use in a manner that contributes to Downtown Bellflower’s economic growth and image and the cohesive vision of the Flower Street corridor.

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL

1) Open the public hearing; take documentary and testimonial evidence; and after considering the evidence, adopt Resolution No. 25-37 authorizing the City Manager to execute the Purchase and Sale Agreement, in a form approved by the City Attorney; and to transfer the necessary funds from the Unassigned General Fund Reserve to the Property Acquisition Reserve; or

2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

FISCAL IMPACT

The City will pay $2,650,000 to the William and Mary M. Kwan Family Trust to acquire the property.

The Property Acquisition Reserve currently has an estimated available cash balance of $778,000. In addition, a minimum allocation of $1,000,000 is expected to be added to the Property Acquisition Reserve at the end of FY 2025–2026 based on the budgeted surplus.

To fully fund the property purchase and related closing costs, a transfer of $900,000 from the Unassigned General Fund Reserve to the Property Acquisition Reserve is recommended.

If the actual General Fund surplus transfer to the Property Acquisition Reserve exceeds the minimum allocations for FY 2025–2026 and FY 2026–2027, the $900,000 advance transfer will be applied toward the surplus, restoring the Unassigned General Fund Reserve.

Summary Report Government Code Section 52200 – Purchase and Sale Agreement – 9855 Flower Street 1

SUMMARY REPORT PURSUANT TO
GOVERNMENT CODE § 52201

REGARDING A

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

BY AND BETWEEN THE

CITY OF BELLFLOWER AND
THE WILLIAM AND MARY M. KWAN FAMILY TRUST

The following Summary Report was prepared pursuant to Government Code § 52201. This report sets forth certain details of the proposed Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Agreement”) between the City of Bellflower (“City”) and the William and Mary M. Kwan Family Trust (“Seller”).

Seller owns a total of 21,039 square feet of land located at 9855 Flower Street on one parcel (APN 7109- 013-032) (“Property”). The Agreement requires Seller to sell the Property to the City.

The following Summary Report is based upon information required by the Government Code. It is organized into the following three sections:

I. Salient Points of the Agreement: This section summarizes the major responsibilities agreed to by Seller and the City by the Agreement.

II. Cost of the Agreement to the City: This section details the total cost to the City associated with implementing the Agreement.

III. Creation of Economic Opportunity: This section describes the existing condition of the subject property and explains how the Agreement will assist in the creation of economic opportunity.

This report and the Agreement are to be made available for public inspection prior to the approval of the Agreement and no later than the time of publication of the first required notice of the public hearing pursuant to Government Code § 52201.

I. SALIENT POINTS OF THE AGREEMENT

A. Project Description

The Project is the City’s purchase of all that certain real property located at 9855 Flower Street, Bellflower, CA 90706 on APN 7109-013-032.

B. Seller Responsibilities Under the Agreement

1. Seller agrees to sell the Property, following the satisfactory inspection(s) of the Property by the City and approval of documents produced during a maximum 45-day Due Diligence Period.

2. Seller agrees to pay the costs associated with a CLTA Standard Coverage Policy of Title Insurance showing title to the Property vested in Buyer.

Page 3 of 7 ends

Summary Report Government Code Section 52200 – Purchase and Sale Agreement – 9855 Flower Street 2

C. City Responsibilities Under the Agreement

1. The City will purchase the Property for Two Million Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,650,000) following satisfactory inspection(s) of the Property during escrow and the Due Diligence Period.

II. COST OF THE AGREEMENT TO THE CITY

The cost incurred by the City to implement the Agreement is $2,650,000 for the purchase of the Property plus half of the typical escrow fees and de minimus costs for inspections and staff time to effectuate the acquisition.

III. ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY

The Property, located on the major east/west arterial street in Downtown Bellflower, is currently occupied by White House Florist, a local flower shop that is currently being operated by Seller. As a long-term ownership, legacy property, it is currently generating a minimum of state or local taxes. The City intends to market the Property to produce a private development project that will create economic opportunity, as defined by Government Code Section 52200.2, by increasing property tax revenues to all property tax collecting entities by at least 15% at full implementation of a project when compared to the year before the property being acquired by the City.

Significant new development is occurring within the vicinity of the Property. This includes Edgeway Downtown Bellflower, The Mayne Events Center and Los Angeles County Fire Museum, The Bellflower Regional Transit Center and Parking Structure, SteelCraft outdoor food hall, the Downtown Collection townhomes by City Ventures, The Nest Eatery, and The Stand Up Comedy Club, in addition to the submission of a development application for a housing project adjacent to the subject property. The Site, located in the heart of Downtown Bellflower east of Bellflower Blvd., is proximate to City-owned public parking lots and Civic Center amenities including a public library, Town Center Plaza, Library Garden Park, Pirate Park, Friendship Plaza, and the Bellflower Walking and Biking Trail. Additionally, a street improvement project has been approved by the City to complete improvements on Bellflower Boulevard from Flower Street south to the 91 Freeway.

The Property is served by all major utilities and a potential housing economic development project could increase the property’s net assessed value generating a significant increase in property tax, exceeding the required 15% increase for the various taxing entities. Furthermore, as part of Downtown Bellflower, the property is included in the Downtown Bellflower Revitalization Vision Strategy, the Downtown Bellflower Strategic Development Plan, and adjacent to the Downtown Bellflower Transit Oriented Development Specific Plan Area.

RESOLUTION NO. 25-37

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT, IN A FORM APPROVED BY THE

CITY ATTORNEY, BETWEEN THE CITY OF BELLFLOWER AND THE
WILLIAM AND MARY M. KWAN FAMILY TRUST AND TO TRANSFER

THE NECESSARY FUNDS FROM THE UNASSIGNED GENERAL FUND

RESERVE TO THE PROPERTY ACQUISTION RESERVE FOR THE
PURCHASE OF REAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 9855 FLOWER
STREET (APN 7109-013-032)

THE CITY COUNCIL DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The City Council finds and declares as follows:

A. The City of Bellflower negotiated to acquire the property located at 9855 Flower Street (APN 7109-013-032) from the William and Mary M. Kwan Trust (“Seller”) for a purchase price of $2,650,000;

B. Pursuant to Government Code § 65402(a), the City Council, acting as the Planning Agency, reviewed the acquisition to determine the property purchase is consistent with the General Plan and conformity with the Bellflower Municipal Code (“BMC”);

C. In addition, the City reviewed the project’s environmental impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000 et seq., “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations §§15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”);

D. Seller desires to convey the Property to the City of Bellflower for a purchase price of $2,650,000;

E. As set forth in the accompanying report (as required by Government Code § 52201) the City believes that the Property is an important asset that will contribute to the economic opportunity in Downtown Bellflower. Accordingly, the City Council desires to purchase the Property; and

F. Toward that end, the City and Seller desire to enter into a Purchase and Sale Agreement for the Property.

SECTION 2. Environmental Assessment. Adopting this Resolution is exempt from further environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations §§15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”).

Acquisition of the Property (by itself) does not have the potential to cause significant effects on the environment. Consequently, it is categorically exempt in accordance with CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3) as CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment.

Page 5 of 7 ends

City of Bellflower
Resolution No. 25-37 – 9855 Flower Street Acquisition

Page 2 of 3 ends

Additionally, acquiring the property would result in minor (if any) alterations to existing facilities involving no significant expansion of the existing use. Acquiring the Property – by itself – would not have any significant impacts with regard to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. There are adequate utilities and public services to serve the Property. Any future redevelopment of the Property would require separate environmental review and either discretionary or ministerial approvals by the City. A simple conveyance of title does not necessitate preparation of an environmental document. The City Manager, or designee, is directed to file a Notice of Determination in accordance with Public Resources Code §§ 21152, 21167(f); CEQA Guidelines § 15075; and any other applicable law.

SECTION 3. Authorizations. The City Council authorizes the purchase of the Property from the Seller to the City upon payment of $2,650,000 by City. In order to effectuate that conveyance, the Mayor and City Manager are authorized to execute all documents, in a form approved by the City Attorney, needed to implement the conveyance of the Property as contemplated by this Resolution including, without limitation, escrow instructions, the grant deed, closing statement, and the certificate of acceptance. The City Manager is further authorized to accept the grant deed and cause them to be recorded in the Office of the County Recorder of the County of Los Angeles .

SECTION 4. The City Manager, or designee, is directed to transfer the necessary funds from the Unassigned General Fund Reserve to the Property Acquisition Reserve for this property acquisition.

SECTION 5. Electronic Signatures. This Resolution may be executed with electronic signatures in accordance with Government Code §16.5. Such electronic signatures will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature.

SECTION 6. The Mayor, or presiding officer, is hereby authorized to affix his signature to this Resolution signifying its adoption by the City Council of the City of Bellflower, and the City Clerk, or her duly appointed deputy, is directed to attest thereto.

SECTION 7. This Resolution will become effective immediately upon adoption and will remain effective unless repealed or superseded.

FISCAL IMPACT – Continued
·FY 2025–26: Allocate an additional $75,000 to Account No. 010-42054-1012 (Contract Services), increasing the total to $125,000 to reflect the new agreement’s enhanced level of service.
·FY 2026–27: Allocate an additional $37,000 to Account No. 010-42054-1012 (Contract Services), increasing the total to $87,000 to reflect the new agreement’s enhanced level of service.(Note: the Year 2 agreement cost is reduced by ≈$38,000 year-over-year.)
·Offset (both years): Reduce $25,000 annually from Account No. 010-47400-1012, decreasing the total to $5,000, which will remain available to fund miscellaneous interior holiday décor programming and other needs managed by in-house staff.

Net new cost to the Operating Budget:
·FY 2025–26: $50,000 (=$75,000 increase − $25,000 offset) ·FY 2026–27: $12,000 (=$37,000 increase − $25,000 offset) The agreement provides long-term value by shifting initial funding toward the purchase of commercial grade decorations—assets that will remain City property—and reducing future expenses as funding primarily shifts to labor beginning in year two.

DISCUSSION
During the 2025–2027 Operating Budget discussions, the Director was directed to research cost estimates for enhancing the downtown Bellflower holiday décor program.

Preliminary estimates, prepared without a full RFP process, indicated costs could reach approximately $200,000 annually. Council ultimately approved continuing funding for the current level of service, while noting that the existing contract was set to expire and that a competitive RFP would be required. The Director was also instructed to seek proposals that included multiple levels of enhancements, beginning with a mandatory $50,000 base level. The adopted budget provides $50,000 for contract services and an additional $30,000 for equipment replacement and upgrades, for a total of $80,000 annually.

On August 4, 2025, the City issued a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) for Holiday Decorations and Lights Design, Equipment, Installation, Maintenance, and Removal Services, with submittals due August 27, 2025. A total of seven proposals were received, and a Selection Committee of City staff evaluated the proposals in accordance with the RFP criteria, including understanding of the scope of work, methodology, qualifications of personnel, relevant experience, and cost.

DISCUSSION – Continued
As required by the RFP, proposers submitted a base proposal not to exceed $50,000 annually, with optional expanded services at $100,000 and $150,000 levels. The recommended proposer submitted multiple levels of service, and the Director recommends awarding a contract primarily based on their Level 2 proposal. The agreement provides flexibility for staff to adjust the final design and to purchase additional new equipment during the first two years, ensuring the program can be refined and expanded as needed. A key distinction in this submission is that newly purchased décor will become City-owned, creating long-term value and cost savings. This ownership model set the proposal apart from others, most of which relied on leased or contractor- retained décor.

Following the evaluation process, the Director recommends awarding the contract to PDC. The firm was selected based on its extensive experience providing large-scale holiday decorating services for numerous municipalities, its long-standing history of successfully installing Bellflower’s holiday décor, and its demonstrated ability to deliver high-quality, turnkey services within the City’s required timeline.

PDC will provide turnkey services for the downtown and City Hall holiday displays, including design, procurement of new decorations and lighting, installation, ongoing maintenance, and removal in January. Their proposal offered multiple budget-level options, with the recommended agreement structured to maximize value by purchasing commercial grade decorations in the first year and reducing costs in subsequent years as funding primarily shifts to labor in year two.

Under this agreement, PDC will oversee the holiday decorating program and deliver a cohesive, visually striking theme across all key City locations, including Friendship Square, The Mayne Events Center and Parking Structure, the Sheriff Substation, City Hall, and designated areas along Bellflower Boulevard. The company will also provide on-call support for repairs and service needs throughout the display period.

Scope of Work Summary:PDC will design, install, maintain, and remove holiday décor for key City sites, including Friendship Square, The Mayne Events Center and Parking Structure, the Sheriff Substation, City Hall, and designated areas along Bellflower Boulevard. The scope includes procurement of new decorations that will become City-owned assets, integration of existing City décor, and creation of a cohesive theme across all locations.

Deliverables under the agreement include:
·Design & Procurement: Provide décor plans, purchase new decorations, and integrate City-owned elements
·Installation: Complete installation within the City’s specified seasonal window each year, ensuring all décor is operational for the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony ·Maintenance: Conduct regular inspections and provide on-call service with rapid response to outages or repairs during the display period ·Removal & Storage: Remove all decorations within the City’s required post-season window, ensuring safe handling of City-owned items and proper storage of reusable décor 3

CEQA: This Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”) because it consists only of minor revisions and clarifications to an existing code of construction -related regulations and specification of procedures. These will not have the effect of deleting or substantially changing any regulatory standards or findings. Accordingly, the Ordinance (by itself) does not have the potential to cause significant effects on the environment. In addition, this Ordinance is an action being taken for enhanced protection of the environment and is exempt from further review und er CEQA Guidelines § 15308.

City Manager Smoot introduced the item and read the ordinance title s into the record.

Building Official Cook 1) provided a PowerPoint presentation of the Staff Report; 2) for the record, stated that copies of the 2025 California Building Standards Code (“CBSC”) were readily available to the public for viewing; and 3) responded to Council Members’ questions along with City Manager Smoot, City Attorney Berger, and Director of Planning and Building Services Oba.

In response to questions and comments provided by Council Member Sanchez, City Attorney Berger clarified that the City has the authority to make changes to the CBSC with regard to administrative provisions through local amendments; however, local amendments to typographical, geologic, and/or climatic codes must be supported with findings that demonstrate the amend ments are necessary to enhance public health and safety.

At the request of Council Member Sanchez and Mayor Dunton, relative to the 2025 Energy Code updates to swimming pool regulations, Building Official Cook confirmed that the Energy Code is governed by the State of California, and the City cannot modify the code to allow for the use of gas heat pumps, even if the pool and/or pump already exists.

B Consideration and possible action to conduct a public hearing and: 1) Adopt Urgency Ordinance No. 1450; and 2) Waive further reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1449 – Continued

Following brief discussion, at the request of Council Member Sanchez and Council Member Koops, Building Official Cook 1) confirmed that the 2025 CBSC requires commercial kitchens to be “electric-ready,” further clarifying that the Building Official has the authority to allow for modifications to the requirement if needed; and 2) stated that the CBSC broadly defines “commercial kitchen;” however, the CBSC already requires residential kitchens to be “electric- ready.”

In response to questions and comments provided by Council Member Sanchez relative to CRC Section R401.4.1.1.5.1, 1) Director Oba clarified that if a proposed project is more than one story in height, a soils investigation report is required; however, if a proposed project is only one story in height and does not exceed 750 square feet, a soils investigation report is not required as the applicant is required to utilize the City’s prescriptive design methods; 2) Building Official Cook reiterated that the City requires a soils investigation report for all residential projects exceeding 750 square feet or more than one story in height, further explaining that the State of California requires a soils investigation report for all residential projects exceeded 500 square feet or more than one story in height, emphasizing that the City is less restrictive in order to better assist applicants with their projects; and 3) City Manager Smoot stated that the City intends to be less restrictive in order to better assist applicants and residents with development.

For the record, Council Member Sanchez expressed the opinion that the City’s requirement for a soils investigation report should be less restrictive to better assist residents with their projects and allow greater flexibility as construction costs are expensive.

In response to questions and comments provided by Council Member Sanchez, City Attorney Berger explained that the City has the authority to prosecute Bellflower Municipal Code violations, but does not have the authority to file and/or prosecute State or Federal offenses such as animal abuse.

Without objection, at the request of Council Member Sanchez, City Attorney Berger stated that he could look into how Southeast Area Animal Control Authority (“SEAACA”) is able to prosecute State or Federal offenses.

For the record, City Manager Smoot confirmed that staff can look into seeing if the newly formed Station Cities Public Safety Joint Powers Authority (“JPA”) could provide additional animal control services in the future.

At the request of Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines and Council Member Sanchez, relative to the “Costs” Slide of the PowerPoint presentation, 1) Director McNerney explained that the City will purchase and upfit an animal control vehicle, but the vehicle will be owned and maintained by Southwest Patrol; 2) Vice President Gagon clarified that the animal control vehicle must be owned by Southwest Patrol due to insurance requirements; and 3) City Attorney Berger stated that since the City of Bellflower is a charter city, the City Council can determine if the purchase of the vehicle for Southwest Patrol’s use is a gift of public funds.

In response to questions and comments provided by Council Member Koops, 1) City Manager Smoot explained that the City’s agreement with SEAACA has expired and a new agreement has not been brought forward to the City Council for consideration and/or adoption; and 2) City Attorney Berger reiterated that the City’s agreement with SEAACA has expired, further confirming that the City does not have a legal obligation to pay for services provided by SEAACA.

13 CONSIDERATION ITEMS – Continued

For the record, 1) Council Member Morse suggested providing a mailer to each household detailing the animal control services Southwest Patrol will provide for the City; and 2) Mayor Dunton suggested that Southwest Patrol attend the City’s Tree Lighting Ceremony to provide information regarding services to residents.

For the record, Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines expressed the opinion that SEAACA has treated the City of Bellflower as a “second class citizen” because it is not a founding member of SEAACA and services to the City were not prioritized.

In response to Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines, Director McNerney stated that the “core services” SEAACA previously provided would be provided by Southwest Patrol; however, they would not be able to provide “secondary services” such as community events.

For the record and without objection, 1) Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines stated that he would like to see a community event be held to add to the quality of services, after the new vendor proves to be successful; and 2) at the request of Council Member Sanchez, Director McNerney confirmed that a direct phone number could be established for animal control services similar to the City’s graffiti hotline.

For the record, Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines, Council Member Sanchez, and Mayor Dunton expressed support for Southwest Patrol providing animal control services in the City.

Cheryl Williams, resident, 1) expressed the opinion that SEAACA did not provide quality services to residents, further stating that she is in favor of Southwest Patrol providing the services moving forward; and 2) stated concerns relative to the location of SPCALA, expressing the opinion that it may be difficult for residents to travel approximately thirty minutes to pick up their impounded animal.

In response to comments provided by Cheryl Williams, Mayor Dunton reiterated that Southwest Patrol will attempt to find the owner of an animal prior to transporting it to SPCALA.

Following discussion, it was moved by Council Member Sanchez, seconded by Council Member Morse, and unanimously carried by the following roll call vote, to 1) authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 9 to Agreement File No. 813 with Southwest Patrol, in a form approved by the City Attorney; and 2) authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 2 to Agreement File No. 685 with Turbo Data Systems, Inc., in a form approved by the City Attorney:

B Consideration and possible action to authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 6 to Agreement File No. 853, in a form approved by the City Attorney, with Mercy House Living Centers, to extend the term for Temporary Shelter Operator Services at New Hope Temporary Shelter.

City Manager Smoot introduced the item, noted that Assistant to the City Manager would be providing the presentation, and announced that Timothy Huynh, Chief Program Officer (“CPO”) of Mercy House, would be assisting in answering questions as needed.

For the record, Council Member Koops 1) announced that he would recuse himself from Item 13-B as he has property interests within 1,000 feet of the subject property; and 2) left the dais and Council Chambers at 8:58 p.m.

Assistant to the City Manager Lee 1) provided a PowerPoint presentation of the Staff Report; and 2) responded to Council Members’ questions along with City Manager Smoot, City Attorney Berger, and CPO Huynh.

At the request of Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines, CPO Huynh 1) stated that there is one Security Guard onsite at the facility twenty-four hours per day, further clarifying that the Security Guard position was not included in the staffing plan provided to the City Council for consideration; 2) expressed the opinion that the Navigator position is vital to the operations of the Shelter, further explaining that if the Navigator position was to be reduced from two to one, residents of the Shelter would not be able to meet with the Navigator as often, which could jeopardize the safety and cleanliness of the Shelter; and 3) explained the food “menu pattern” is provided monthly from an outside vendor, but the orders are placed on a weekly basis, further noting that the fee is dependent on “actual costs ,” so this cost is not based on the capacity of the Shelter.

For the record, 1) Mayor Dunton expressed the opinion that a) $155,273 per year for meals is reasonable; and b) decreasing the number of beds from fifty to thirty-five would not generate cost savings or be worthwhile; and 2) Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines expressed the opinion that two Navigator positions would be worth maintaining.

At the request of Mayor Dunton, Assistant to the City Manager Lee confirmed that the term of the proposed Amendment is for one year and the City has the option to terminate the Agreement at any time with or without cause.

Following discussion, it was moved by Council Member Sanchez, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines, and carried by the following roll call vote, to authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 6 to Agreement File No. 853, in a form approved by the City Attorney, with a capacity of fifty beds:

For the record, 1) Council Member Koops announced that he would recuse himself on Items 14-F (Install red curb parking restrictions on Alondra Boulevard west of McNab Avenue) and 14-G (Purchase and Sale Agreement for 9526 Oak Street) as he owns property within 500 feet of the subject properties; 2) Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines requested that Items 14-G (Purchase and Sale Agreement for 9526 Oak Street) and 14-M (Authorize the City Manager to execute Agreement File No. 1097, as modified, with SoundThinking Inc.) be pulled for questions and comments only; and 3) Council Member Sanchez requested that Item 14-C (Award a contract to California Waters Development, Inc., dba California Waters for the Aquatic Center Outdoor Pool Improvements) be pulled for questions only.

With regard to Item 14-M (Authorize the City Manager to execute Agreement File No. 1097, as modified, with SoundThinking Inc.) and at the request of Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines, City Attorney Berger a) stated that SoundThinking Inc.

In response to questions and comments provided by Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines, 1) City Attorney Berger further explained that the State of California has a law relative to data sharing with other States, further explaining that because the technology and data are provided by a third -party vendor, the City cannot control the risk, reiterating the opinion that because of this, the risk should be transferred from the City to the vendor; and 2) Director McNerney confirmed that the cities of Lakewood, Pico Rivera, and Hawaiian Gardens have accepted SoundThinking’s indemnification language as presented.

Following brief discussion, at the request of Council Member Sanchez, Director McNerney confirmed that other vendors provide gunshot detection and license plate reading camera services, further expressing the opinion that SoundThinking’s services are superior to similar programs.

It was moved by Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines, seconded by Council Member Koops, to approve the actions stipulated on the Consent Calendar. No action was taken.

At the request of Council Member Sanchez, 1) City Attorney Berger a) reiterated that the City and SoundThinking have come to an impasse , noting that alternative solutions, including the removal of the indemnification clause altogether, were rejected by SoundThinking, reiterating the opinion that this is a cause of concern; and b) stated that he cannot confirm if the data is shared by the vendor; and 2) Director McNerney explained that SoundThinking offers their services nationwide, but the vendor has confirmed that the data can only be shared with a law enforcement agency and/or through a subpoena for records issued by the Court.

For the record, it was the consensus of the City Council to remove the Item 14-M from the Consent Calendar for separate consideration. Discussion on this matter continued following the action taken on the Consent Calendar.

At the request of Mayor Dunton and Council Member Sanchez, 1) City Manager Smoot a) stated the proposed modification to the indemnification language is detailed on page 5 of Agreement File No. 1097 (“Agreement”); b) explained that Section 18 of the Agreement states the vendor must comply with all appliable requirements of all federal, state, and local authorities; and c) confirmed staff can look into services provided by other vendors other during the term of the proposed Agreement, noting that the City has the option to terminate the Agreement with or without cause with sixty-day notice; and 2) City Attorney Berger explained the City’s standard agreement templates transfer all risk to the vendor as the vendor is being compensated with taxpayer dollars to implement services on behalf of the City, further stating that without the standard indemnification language included in the Agreement, the risk will not be transferred to the vendor.

For the record, Council Member Sanchez expressed concern with assuming SoundThinking’s risk, stating the opinion that he supports the services provided, but does not want to assume the liability of their negligence.

SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to authorize the City Manager to execute the Third Amendment to Memorandum of Understanding No. 15 for the Los Cerritos Channel Watershed (MOU No. 15) and the Third Amendment to Memorandum of Understanding No. 17 for the Lower San Gabriel River Watershed (MOU No. 17) with the Gateway Region Integrated Water Management Joint Powers Authority (“GWMA”) for the administration and cost sharing to prepare and implement Watershed Management Programs
(“WMPs”) and Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Programs (“CIMPs”) for the Los Cerritos Channel and the Lower San Gabriel River Watersheds.

Date: October 13, 2025

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This action would authorize the City Manager to execute the Third Amendment to MOU Nos. 15 and 17 with the GWMA for administration and cost sharing to prepare and implement WMPs and CIMPs for the Los Cerritos Channel (“LCC”) and Lower San Gabriel River (“LSGR”) Watersheds, as required by the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (“MS4”) Permit. The term of each respective MOU would be extended through September 30, 2030.

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL

1) Authorize the City Manager to execute the Third Amendment to MOU Nos. 15 and 17, in a form approved by the City Attorney; or

2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

FISCAL IMPACT

The average annual cost for both programs is approximately $150,000 . Funding for each program is included in the Public Works Maintenance and Operations Budget for FY 2025-27 under Account No. 320-41200-6020 (Measure W – Safe Clean Water Program Funds).

DISCUSSION

The City of Bellflower is located in two separate drainage watersheds; the L os Cerritos Channel (“LCC”) Watershed and the Lower San Gabriel River (“LSGR”) Watershed; therefore, the storm drain system that services the City drains to these two watersheds.

The MS4 Permit requires that Bellflower, along with other cities located within these watersheds, develop WMPs and CIMPs for each watershed.

In 2013, the City entered into MOU No. 15 with the GWMA for the preparation of the LCC WMPs and CIMPs, participating with 7 other cities/agencies (Cerritos, Downey, Lakewood, Long Beach, Paramount and Signal Hill, and the L.A. County Flood Control District), as part of the Los Cerritos Channel Watershed Group. The same year, the City entered into MOU No. 17 with the GWMA for the preparation of the LSGR WMPs and CIMPs, participating with 13 other cities/agencies (Artesia, Cerritos, Diamond Bar, Downey, Hawaiian Gardens, Lakewood, La Mirada, Long Beach, Norwalk, Pico Rivera, Santa Fe Springs, Whittier and the L.A. County Flood Control District), as part of the Lower San Gabriel River Watershed Committee. This multi-agency approach in obtaining compliance has been more cost effective rather than addressing these regulatory requirements separately as individual permittees.

Previous amendments to both MOU’s in 2015 and 2020 have extended the term of the agreements. The third amendment of each respective MOU will extend the term through September 30, 2030, and will continue to establish a cost share formula of 90% of cost based on land area in the watershed and 10% of cost based on a proportioned equal share for all participating cities. The amendment for MOU 17 updates the cost share formula. The annual contribution for these MOU amendments will vary depending on the required monitoring and special studies needed to comply with the MS4 Permit. The average annual costs for each MOU over the past 5 years are as follows: MOU No. 15:
$127,000 and MOU No. 17: $23,000 for a total of approximately $150,000.

• The average Watershed budget for the next four years is anticipated to range between $656,984.85 and $795,297.45, (Average = $726,141.15) depending on the potential for a new regional MS4 Permit to go in effect, plus GWMA administrative fees.

• Other agencies may participate upon approval of cost sharing agreements by the LSGR Watershed Committee and GWMA. Future participants shall be assessed a late entry cost as if they had been a participant from the beginning of the Metals TMDL MOU, as of March 1, 2012, unless otherwise determined by the LSGR Watershed Committee.
• Watershed Permittees and the cost share are subject to modifications due to, but not limited to, changes in the number of participating agencies, refinements in mapping, and changes in boundaries.

• LACFCD’s annual contribution shall not exceed $100,000 unless otherwise amended.
