DATE: July 14, 2026
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 26-20: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRADBURY, CALIFORNIA,
ALLOCATING FUNDS FROM THE CITIZEN'S OPTION FOR
PUBLIC SAFETY ("COPS") PROGRAM, AND DOCUMENTING
THE DETERMINATIONS REQUIRED BY THE SUPPLEMENTAL
LAW ENFORCEMENT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Resolution No. 26-20
SUMMARY
During the March 17, 2026 regularly scheduled meeting, the City Council approved expenses for approximately $15,000 from the restricted Citizen's Option for Public Safety (COPS) fund to purchase two (2) Kenmore VP8000 radios for the City's Community Services Officer (CSO) program during Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The radios took time to procure, so Resolution No. 26-20 allows the for the purchase to be expensed from the restricted COPS fund during Fiscal Year 2026-2027.
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-20.
BACKGROUND
Since 1997, the California State Budget Act has included allocations to counties and cities for the COPS program. This funding is intended to fill the need for additional resources at the local level to ensure public safety. Under the provisions of Government Code Section 30061, a percentage of the funds are allocated to counties and cities, based upon population, for law enforcement services. Funds must supplement existing services and 7/h6 AGENDA ITEM # ZD
FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
Resolution No. 26-20: Designating COPS Spending
cannot be used to supplant any existing funds. The funds must be used to benefit front- line law enforcement efforts.
During the March 2026 meeting, the City Council directed Staff to purchase two (2) Kenmore VP8000 radios for the City's Community Services Officer (CSO) program.
The radios took time to procure after the order was placed. As such, the City recently received the radios and the billing, but expenses have now fallen into a separate fiscal year, 2026-2027.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The City receives approximately $195,000 in COPS funds yearly and has a balance of $795,917 in the restricted fund. Purchasing two (2) Kenmore VP8000 radios, at a cost of approximately $15,000, would I exceed the amount received for this fiscal year by the Two (2) Monrovia CSOs $153,921
LASD Extra Patrol $ 30,000
Two (2) Kenmore VP8000 Radios for CSOs $ 15,000
FLOCK ALPR Camera Annual Costs $ 3,000
CSO Supplies $ 1,500
Total amount allocated $218,421
Excess costs from this fiscal year would be expensed from the available COPS fund balance.

DATE: July 14, 2026
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 26-21: A RESOLUTION TO INCORPORATE A LIST OF PROJECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 FUNDED BY
SB 1: THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT
ATTACHMENTS: 1. Resolution No. 26-21
SUMMARY
With the recent passage of Senate Bill 1, the City of Bradbury will be receiving restricted funds this Fiscal Year of $25,000. As a result, the City needs to identify a project for the utilization of these funds. Although funds do not have to be spent by this timeline, a resolution must be adopted designating a project, or the City will risk losing the allocation.
As a result, Staff recommends the adoption of Resolution No. 26-21, which recognizes SB1's funding allocation and identifies these funds to be used toward the partial design of a Citywide street slurring project sometime next year. Although Staff anticipates having a discussion with the City Council on the funding of the entire project at some point, SB1's funding allocation can partially pay for any project costs. Additionally, SB1 funding can be changed to a different project at any time.
DISCUSSION
The Legislature passed and the Governor signed Senate Bill 1 (SB1), which provides funding to the City of Bradbury to improve local streets, roads and increase mobility options though walking, biking and transit infrastructure. 7/41 AGENDA ITEM # 2E
FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
Designating SB1's Funding Allocation Toward Citywide Slurring Project
For Bradbury, the City can expect to receive funding this year in the amount of $25,000, and must adopt a resolution this year, which outlines what the funds will be spent on, or else risk losing the funding. With the funds received from SB1 this year, Staff is recommending that they be used toward payment of the preparation of plans, and specifics for the Citywide slurry/seal project.
The last Citywide street slurring took place in 2019, and it is recommended that slurring be done approximately every seven (7) years. Therefore, Staff anticipates coordinating a slurring project sometime this Fiscal Year.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the adoption of Resolution No. 26-21, which recognizes SB1's funding allocation and identifies these funds to be used toward the partial design of a Citywide street slurring project sometime next year. Although Staff anticipates having a discussion with the City Council on the funding of the entire project at some point, SB1's funding allocation can partially pay for any project costs.

DATE: July 14, 2026
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION ON TRUCK RESTRICTION ON ROYAL OAKS
DRIVE NORTH
ATTACHMENTS: 1) FHWA Vehicle Classifications
SUMMARY
This report presents options to reduce or eliminate large-truck traffic on Royal Oaks Drive North, particularly semi-trailer trucks.
It is recommended that the City Council direct Staff on how to proceed with restricting truck traffic on Royal Oaks Drive North and, consequently, on Winston and Lemon Avenues. Should the City Council desire to place restrictions on the streets), it is recommended that restrictions be made on vehicles that have more than 2 axles.
DISCUSSION
Royal Oaks Drive North is a dedicated and accepted public roadway within the City limits, and as such, is under the jurisdiction of the City of Bradbury and Los Angeles County; however, it remains a public thoroughfare, and any restrictions to its use by any classification of vehicle must be supported by the California Vehicle Code (CVC).
There are only two direct classifications under the CVC whereby trucks may be prohibited from a roadway, which are the length and weight of the vehicle. Per the CVC, the City Truck Restrictions on Royal Oaks Drive North
would only be allowed to limit the length of the truck combination (truck and trailer) to 60 feet, or the distance from the kingpin to the rear axle to 38 feet. While this would prohibit the largest semi-trucks from direct access to the retirement community, it would still allow the standard size semi-trucks access to Royal Oaks Drive North. As for weight restrictions, the weight restrictions are typically based on per axle weights and or total weight. Making the determination regarding how to classify these weights can be difficult at best and would be nearly impossible to enforce given the multitude of gross vehicle weights across all classifications of trucks.
Division 11, Chapter 1, Article 3, Section 21101 of the CVC gives the City the most leeway in adopting a resolution to prohibit the use of particular highways by certain vehicles.
Under this section, the City could adopt an ordinance prohibiting vehicles that have more than 2 axles from a specific roadway. This category is proposed as it limits all combination vehicles, such as semi-trailers, and is easily enforced by the Sheriff Department. Any and all vehicles associated with trash collection would be exempt from this restriction under the CVC.
Staff has fielded inquiries about the possibility of restricting truck traffic to certain times of the day. Since the roadway is a public thoroughtare and there are no time-of-day access limitations in the CV, this type of restriction would not be enforceable. In addition, since there is no accepted signage for this type of restriction, a petition would have to be submitted to the Caltrans Sacramento office with supporting evidence for this specialized sign.
If the City Council determines it desires to restrict truck traffic on Royal Oaks Drive North, signage must be posted at all access points to the roadway. This is easily done at the two access points from Royal Oaks Drive (with the City of Duarte's permission); however, the access from the north at Winston Avenue is more difficult. The point at which the "No Trucks" sign is posted must allow for trucks to avoid the road with an alternate path of travel or provide for a turn-around location. Once a truck enters Winston Avenue from Lemon Avenue, there is no provision for the truck to avoid Royal Oaks Drive North.
Continuing further, once a truck enters Lemon Avenue from Bradbury Road, the only alternatives to execute a U-turn are on the narrow local roads. Therefore, this truck restriction should also apply to Winston Avenue and Lemon Avenue. This could prove problematic, as the Bradbury Estates recently opened a gate on Lemon Avenue for the use by trucks and construction equipment.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The direct financial impact would be the cost of signage and its installation at the appropriate locations. The cost for this type of sign installation is approximately $500 per location.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council direct Staff on how to proceed with restricting Truck Restrictions on Royal Oaks Drive North

FROM: Kevin Kearney, City Manager
Initiated By: David Gilbertson, City Engineer
DATE: July 14, 2026
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION ON CITYWIDE CONCRETE REPAIRS
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Citywide Concrete Repair Spreadsheet
2) Unit Cost Breakdown
SUMMARY
Staff compiled a list of concrete repair locations throughout the City of Bradbury consisting of damaged sidewalk, curb & gutter, drive approaches, and pavement. It is recommended that the City Council authorize staff to proceed with the preparation of formal plans and specifications for the Citywide Concrete Repairs and obtain formal bids.
DISCUSSION
RKA staff inspected every public street with the City of Bradbury and has compiled a list of miscellaneous concrete repairs. Throughout the City, approximately 1,200 square feet of sidewalk, 1,300 linear feet of curb & gutter, 225 square feet of drive approach was identified as needing removal and replacement. In addition, staff identified one location (Gardi Street) where the existing sidewalk has a minor tripping hazard and needs to be ground flush.
Finally, staff also identified approximately 850 square feet of existing asphalt needing removal and replacement.
Most of the concrete and pavement repairs are minor in nature and are not considered a priority for replacement. However, there are locations of sidewalk repair along the south side of Gardi Street that are severe and the pedestrian pathway has become impassable in certain places. There are four (4) mature privately owned trees (Shamel Ash and Italian Stone Pines) that are the primary cause of the concrete damage.
Citywide Concrete Repairs
The City's Consulting Arborist reviewed the concrete repair locations on Gardi Street and suggests that he should be present during the concrete rehabilitation on Gardi Street to determine the extent of the root removals required to complete the repairs and advise of any adverse impacts to the existing trees. Ultimately, several of the mature trees may require removal by the property owner.
If the City Council elects to proceed with the project, staff will prepare formal specifications for the project, obtain formal bids, and return to the City Council for formal award of bid.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The total Citywide project cost is anticipated to be $229,078. A breakdown of the project costs is as follows:
Construction (including 10% contingency) $198,220
Arborist (JTL Consultants) $5,000
Field Investigation and PS&E Preparation (RKA) $6,336
Construction Management and Inspection (RKA) $19,522
TOTAL COST $229,078
The City Council does have the option to only perform the repairs on Gardi Street since the areas of the damaged concrete is the most severe. The following is an anticipated cost if the City Council desires to only do the repairs on Gardi Street:
Construction (including 10% contingency) $60,665
Arborist (JTL Consultants) $5,000
Field Investigation and PS&E Preparation (RKA) $6,336
Construction Management and Inspection (RKA) $12,956
TOTAL COST $84,957.00
The construction estimates are based on unit prices from other similar projects that have been recently obtained in other nearby municipal agencies by RKA staff.
The City has the necessary funds in Undesignated Reserves to cover the project costs. The amount needed is an investment in public infrastructure and a worthy investment of public funds. It continues the City's priorities by being fiscally responsible while making needed infrastructure improvements.
Citywide Concrete Repairs
Additionally, the City may have some funding available in Measures R & M, Props A & C, and Gas Tax and Staff will investigate using these restricted funds for the cost of this project.
ALTERNATIVES
1. The City Council may elect to postpone the entire project until a later date.
The City Council may elect to proceed with only the concrete repairs along Gardi Street and postpone the remainder of the repairs until a later date.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize staff to proceed with the preparation of formal plans and specifications for the Citywide Concrete Repairs and obtain formal bids.

Agenda Memo
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Paulina Reyes, Management Analyst
DATE: July 14, 2026
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION ON THE CITY IMPLEMENTING CREDIT CARD FEES
ATTACHMENTS: Resolution No. 26-22
SUMMARY
The City currently absorbs credit card processing fees and limits credit card transactions to $5,000. As credit card usage has increased, merchant processing fees have become a growing expense while the transaction limit has created challenges for customers making larger payments.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-22 and approve a 3% convenience fee for all credit card transactions reducing the City's credit card processing costs.
BACKGROUND
The City of Bradbury accepts credit card payments for various City services as a convenience to residents, businesses, and other customers. The City currently absorbs all merchant processing fees associated with credit card transactions.
California Government Code Section 6159 authorizes local agencies to accept credit card payments and permits a public agency to impose a convenience fee for the use of a credit card, provided the fee does not exceed the actual costs incurred by the agency or its payment processor and is approved by the governing body. This authority allows local agencies to recover the cost of processing credit card transactions rather than having those costs paid by the City's General Fund.
ANALYSIS
Credit card processing fees represent an ongoing operational expense to the City.
Based on historical credit card activity, the City incurs approximately $3,500 annually in merchant processing fees. Implementing a convenience fee would allow the City to recover these costs from customers who choose to utilize credit card payments rather than having the expense borne by the City's General Fund.
Staff surveyed neighboring agencies regarding their credit card payment fees. The survey found that agencies have adopted varying approaches, with some cities absorbing credit card processing costs and others passing those costs on to customers through convenience fees.
Agency Credit Card Convenience Fee
City of Azusa 2%
City of Duarte 4% on all credit card transactions
City of Monrovia 3.1%
City of Arcadia No fee
City of Hidden Hills 3%
City of Rolling Hills 3%
City of Glendora 3.2%
Among surveyed agencies that charge a convenience fee, the median fee is approximately 3%. The proposed 3% convenience fee is consistent with regional oractices and provides a reasonable approach to recovering credit card processing costs.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The City currently absorbs all credit card processing fees associated with credit card transactions. Based on historical credit card activity, the City has incurred an average of approximately $3,500 annually in merchant processing costs.
Implementation of a 3% convenience fee on Visa and Mastercard credit card transactions would allow the City to recover these processing costs from customers who choose to utilize credit card payments, reducing the financial impact to the City's General Fund. American Express and Discover transactions will be excluded from the convenience fee structure due to the higher processing costs associated with those transactions. This has been the City's current practice.
The current $5,000 credit card transaction limit will remain in place. Staff will continue to monitor transaction activity and evaluate whether modifications to the transaction limit are warranted in the future. Actual savings and cost recovery will vary annually based on credit card transaction volume and usage.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No, 26-22 and approve the implementation of a 3% convenience fee on Visa and Mastercard credit card transactions. This action will allow the City to recover credit card processing costs associated with these transactions while continuing to provide customers with the option to pay by credit card.

Agenda Memo
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Kevin Kearney, City Manager
DATE: July 14, 2026
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION ON CITY HALL CLOSURES
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Memo: Information on Employee Leaves
SUMMARY
This item is a continuation from the June 2026 meeting, which prompts a discussion on continuing the City's closures of City Hall.
It is recommended that the City Council direct Staff on how to proceed.
BACKGROUND
At the request of City Council Member Lathrop, the City Council discussed continuing the City's closures of City Hall at the June 2026 meeting. During the June meeting, the City Council elected to continue the conversation.
The historical documentation Staff located dealing with the City Hall closures stems from a June 2012 resolution and report. At the time, the City was experiencing fiscal strain and declared a mandatory unpaid furlough for City employees. In return, the City Council agreed to 12 furlough days necessary to achieve a 5% savings to the City.
As time progressed, the City's economic situation improved. However, the City Council made both the 5% reduction and the 12 furlough days permanent. The history suggests the 12 closure days were not simply a discretionary perk, since they originated as consideration for employees accepting a reduction in compensation during a fiscal crisis.
Additionally, it has been Staff's informal understanding that the 12 closure days have 7/4/26
FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA AGENDA ITEM #
Discussion on City Hall Closures
continued into the present day due to the Staff's tradeoff for the lower-than-market-value salary and benefits.
During the June 2026 meeting, the City Council designated 12 closure days, which are outlined in the City's budget for this fiscal year. Most closures are on the first Friday of the month, with the exception of the days around Christmas and New Year's Day:
Friday, September 4, 2026; Friday, October 2, 2026; Friday, November 6, 2026; Wednesday, December 23, 2026; Monday, December 28, 2026; Tuesday, December 29, 2026; Wednesday, December 30, 2026; Friday, February 5, 2027; Friday, March 5, 2027; Friday, April 2, 2027; Friday, May 7, 2027; and, June 4, 2027
City Staff is not under the impression that major issues have occurred as a result of the closures and that any disruptions are rather minimal.
Paid Leaves
To facilitate this conversation, ATTACHMENT #1 contains a breakdown of the various paid leaves for employees. In summary, the following are discretionary paid leaves:
Vacation:
City Manager - 15 days per year
City Clerk/Mngt. Analyst - 10 days per year
Administrative:
City Manager- 5 days per year
City Clerk/Mngt. Analyst - 3 days per year
The City designates holiday closures. While neighboring cities have not been surveyed, Staff believes these designated holidays generally align with those of surrounding municipalities. Additionally, the City offers sick leave to employees. Sick time off is state- protected leave for use in cases of illness or disability. Such leave cannot be factored in, used, or viewed as general vacation time off.
ANALYSIS
When considering the elimination of City Hall Closures, there are 2 groups to consider.
The first group entails the City Manager. The other group consists of the Management Analyst and City Clerk.
City Manager
The City Attorney should advise the City Council on the City Manager's contract. Given the current wording of the agreement, the elimination of the closures for the City Manager could be problematic, since there is specific reference(s) to the closure days in the contractual agreement.
Discussion on City Hall Closures
City Staff (MA & CC)
These 12 paid closure days have long been part of the City's total compensation package and are expressly identified in both the Management Analyst and City Clerk's employment offer letters. They are addressed as "12 designated days each calendar year" under the employees' "Paid Leaves" . Eliminating these days does not just change the City's operating calendar - it requires employees to work approximately 12 additional days each year for the same annual salary, effectively reducing the value of their compensation. If the City Council believes additional operating days are necessary, it is recommended that consideration be given to adjusting employee compensation to reflect the increased work days.
City Staff has been consulted regarding the elimination of the City Hall closures. While there is not uniform agreement on negotiations, the following demands have been made if the City Council were compelled to remove the 12 closure days:
• Restore the original 5% to the established salary schedules. • Establish annual CIP-based adjustments to the salary schedules to prevent inflation from eroding the value of employee compensation. • Implement an annual year-end City Hall closure during the week between Christmas and New Year's Day, recognizing the consistently low volume of public business and limited productivity during this period.
DISCUSSION
City Staff has performed the following research to assist the City Council on Staff's demands. This includes the survey of automatic CPI increase on the salary schedules and of closures between Christmas and New Years:
CITY Automatic CPI Increases Holiday Closures
Rolling Hills Yes, yearly to steps but 3.5% cap Does not close Hidden Hills No. Just salary steps Yes - full closures
Azusa Sort of. Negotiated increases & steps Does not close Duarte Sort of. Negotiated increases & steps Does not close Monrovia Sort of. Every 2 years negotiated City Hall closed to public, but increases and steps operations continue. Employees to
use own leave during public closure.
Arcadia Sort of. Negotiated increases and steps Does not close San Marino Yes, 4% negotiated yearly CPI increases Does not close Irwindale Yes, CPI on salary schedules each year City Hall closed to public, but operations continue. Employees to
use own leave during public closure.
Historically, City Hall has been fully closed between Christmas and New Year's Day through a combination of paid holidays and designated City Hall closure days. During the Discussion on City Hall Closures
past three calendar years - 2024, 2025, and the upcoming 2026 calendar year - the City has designated three (3) closure days during this period. As such, Staff's demand to close in between these two holidays would, on average, equate to three (3) operating days.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council direct Staff on how to proceed.

Agenda Memo
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Kevin Kearney, City Manager
DATE: July 14, 2026
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION ON COMMUNITY SUPPORT FUNDS
SUMMARY
As a result of the Los Angeles Civil Grand Jury findings from 2016 for the City of Bradbury, the City has donated $3,000 in in previous years to support organizations that provide housing and shelter to those in need. Although this was a mandatory one-time donation, the City Council decided to budget and allocate $3,000 to similar services throughout the years.
The City Council budgeted $4,000 this fiscal year to support community efforts to address homelessness. It is recommended that the City Council direct staff on how to expend the budgeted $4,000, which has been set aside for a charitable donation.
DISCUSSION
The Los Angeles Civil Grand Jury investigated cities on their response to homelessness issues during the 2016 El Nino time period. As a result of their findings, the City indicated that it would support organizations that assisted with providing housing and shelter to those in need. This resulted in the City committing to donate $3,000 during the 2016- 2017 fiscal cycle. The City ultimately donated $1,500 to Foothill Unity Center and $1,500 to Union Station Homeless Services to fulfill the City's obligations to the LA Civil Grand Jury.
In previous Fiscal Years, the City Council decided to still allocate $3,000 for future donations, even though the Civil Grand Jury's requirements had been fulfilled.
Additionally, it should be noted that the City's Housing Element includes a line-item commitment regarding Homeless Outreach and Supportive Services, which states that the City will "Review funding allocations to nonprofits as part of the City's annual budget process." Ultimately, the City Council decided over the years to discuss the following organizations:
Union Station Homeless Services, Pasadena: https://ushs.org/ • Foothill Unity Center, Monrovia: https://foothillunitycenter.org/ • Friends in Deed, Pasadena: https://friendsindeedpas.org/ Homes for Life Foundation, LA: https://www.homesforlife.org/ Elisabeth House, Pasadena: https://www.elizabethhouse.net/ All the listed nonprofit organizations provide homeless services as part of their service programs.
Standards for Donations
The Institute for Local Government provides local governments with advice when public institutions are considering donating public funds to charitable organizations. They recommend following their best practice circumstances which may determine appropriateness for a contribution:
1. A charity provides a service that complements or enhances a service that the public agency also provides;
2. When there is an identifiable secondary benefit to the public agency; or
3. When the charity provides a service, the public agency could provide but chooses not to.
Additionally, it is recommended that these findings be included in the minutes regarding the benefits to the agency for providing resources to a charity.
Making donations to charitable causes that are far away from the City (for example, to help the victims of a hurricane in a distant state) also presents special challenges.
Because of the distance, it can be more difficult to justify the contribution as creating benefits to the jurisdiction's residents.
