d. During the Event Dates, the Parking Rate will be charged as a flat daily rate and will give vehicles the right to park in the Parking Garage from the time of entry until 11:59 p.m. on the same day, provided no in-and-out privileges will be allowed. Vehicles exiting the Parking Garage on the Event Date and re-entering the Parking Garage on the same Event Date will be charged the Parking Rate upon re-entry.

(2) Second, to pay any cleaning costs to clean the Public Parking Garage and Commercial Parking Garage during and at the conclusion of the Event. (3) Finally, any remaining Event Revenues left over after payment of items (1) and (2), if any, shall be considered “net revenues” as described in Declaration Section 11 and will be paid to the City and the Burbank Collection Associates LLC in the same proportions as the total number of parking spaces in the Public Parking Garage and the Commercial Parking Garage that are subject to paid parking as described in this Letter (278 Public Garage parking spaces; 159 Commercial Garage parking spaces).
The City and Burbank Collection Associates LLC acknowledge that due to the short time period for implementation of the temporary paid parking described herein, net revenues may be nominal or none at all.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK AUTHORIZING AN AGREEMENT WITH STERNDAHL ENTERPRISES, INC. AND ENTER INTO A MULTI- YEAR AGREEMENT WITH STERNDAHL ENTERPRISES, INC. TO PROVIDE AS -
NEEDED ROADWAY SIGNING AND STRIPING SERVICES FOR MOTORIST, BICYCLIST, AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY. (Attachment 1)
BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department is responsible for the installation and maintenance of all City pavement markings and traffic control signs within the public right -of-way. These activities include the installation of new thermoplastic high visibility crosswalks, lane lines, bike lanes, protective bollards, turn arrows and other pavement markings , as well as parking lot and parking stall markings within City-owned facilities.
Roadway signing, striping and pavement markings need to be reinstalled immediately following street improvement projects such as when streets are repaved. In addition, restriping is also required periodically to repaint faded markings and remov e conflicting striping and markings and replace damaged or worn signs . While Public Works PUBLIC

2 larger paving efforts, street reconfiguration, and Complete Streets projects typically require specialized equipment, materials, and labor provided by licensed contractors.
To ensure timely response to operational needs and support the City’s annual $8 million street paving program, Public Works requires the availability of an experienced, as-needed signing and striping contractor.
Sterndahl Enterprises, Inc. (Sterndahl) has served as the City’s striping vendor for several years and has demonstrat ed consistent professionalism, technical expertise, and reliability. They have a detailed understanding of the City’s requirements and projects and have responded effectively to on- call service requests. Their performance includes the successful delivery of high- profile projects on short notice, such as temporary closure signing and striping for both the Alameda North Neighborhood Protection Plan and the Rancho Providencia Neighborhood Protection Plan.
In prior years , Public Work s executed “piggy -back” a greements1 with Sterndahl leveraging the City of Los Angeles ’ (LA) Agreement that went through LA’s competitive solicitation process. Recently, LA approved a new contract with Sterndahl and extended the term through 2030 (Attachment 2) and subsequently a first amendment (Attachment 3). The LA Agreement included a cooperative purchasing provision allowing other public agencies, including Burbank, to procure roadway signing and striping services from Sterndahl, pursuant to the same prices, terms and conditions of the LA Agreement. T he unit rates offer the best value than what the City could negotiate on its own. Additionally, inquiries with other traffic signing and striping contractor s confirmed that the pricing available through the LA negotiated agreement is the most advantageous to the City.
DISCUSSION
It is critical that a highly qualified contractor be procured to perform roadway striping and pavement marking services to ensure installations are completed correctly, on time, and at a competitive price. Public Works has several key requirements when selecting a contractor for these services:
• The ability to accurately follow engineering plans and notes and adhere to California Department of Transportation and local City regulatory guidelines and standards. • The ability to perform and complete the work quickly and safely as roadway segments must often be blocked during installation and curing of striping. • Pavement striping and signs are critical safety elements for the City of Burbank, and 1 Allows the City to purchase goods or services through a contract that has been competitively bid and awarded by another public agency.
maintenance staff performs the majority of routine striping and signage maintenance, 510
3 Staff compared Sterndahl’s new pricing for the proposed Blanket Purchase Order (BPO) to the unit prices of striping work included in the last few roadway paving bids that required striping work. Staff found that Sterndahl’s prices offered through the LA Agreement were lower than all the reviewed subcontractor prices , and in some cases , by more than 50 percent.
Based on s taff’s price comparison, contracting directly with Sterndahl is fiscally responsible and in the best interest of the City to continue to maintain safe roadways, complete critical street repaving projects, and implement the City Council’s Complete Streets plan and Safer Streets programs. By “piggy-backing” on the LA Agreement with Sterndahl, the City can efficiently secure a qualified contractor to perform critical functions at a fiscally responsible rate.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Work related to the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alterations of existing public facilities are categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (14 CCR § 15301). The work subject to this purchase order will implement street maintenance projects that do not expand any existing use of the public facilities, and no exceptions apply. For this reason, staff recommends that the City Council find adoption of this resolution categorically exempt from CEQA as set forth in the resolution.
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff has estimated that the signing and striping needs over the next year for street repaving, Complete Streets capital improvement projects, and Vision Zero programs, is approximately $900,000 annually. Approval of the agreement will have no fiscal impact since payments for the signing and striping services will come from funds budgeted for each project, which have all been approved by City Council as part of the annual budget process.
CONCLUSION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution that approves an agreement with Sterndahl and enter into a multi -year agreement with Sterndahl to provide as-needed roadway signing and striping services. their optimal installation is of paramount importance.
• An aggressive paving program with complex scheduling coordination must be delivered each fiscal year.
• Several Complete Streets “quick -build” transportation projects must be completed, including the improvements identified as part of the City’s upcoming implementation of the Safer Streets program.
• The contractor must be regionally qualified to work in Burbank and experienced in completing large projects with complex scheduling requirements. 511

STERNDAHL ENTERPRISES, INC. AND ENTER INTO A
MULTI-YEAR AGREEMENT WITH STERNDAHL
ENTERPRISES, INC. TO PROVIDE AS -NEEDED
ROADWAY SIGNING AND STRIPING SERVICES FOR
MOTORIST, BICYCLIST, AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK FINDS:
A. The City’s Public Works Department is responsible for the installation and maintenance of all the City pavement markings and signs that regulate traffic and parking within the public right-of-way.
B. Sterndahl Enterprises, Inc. (Sterndahl) has been the City’s striping contractor that provides such maintenance services for several years . Their services were provided under a previously approved agreement that incorporated competitively solicited services provided to other public agencies, including the City of Los Angeles.
On or about February 27, 2024, t he City of Los Angeles ’ City Council issued a Request for Proposals CF 24-0096 and approved a contract with Sterndahl for the provision of pavement markings, striping, slurry sealing, and other pavement preservation program services (LA Agreement). The City of Los Angeles extended the LA Agreement through 2030 and permitted other government agencies , such as the City of Burbank, to make purchases using the prices, terms, and conditions of the LA Agreement. Staff finds that the LA Agreement’s negotiated unit rates are more favorable than what the City could negotiate on its own.
C. Under the Charter Section 1205 and the Burbank Municipal Code Section 2-2-116, the City Council may approve contracts greater than $ 220,000 and waive the requirement for competitive bidding by a resolution finding that doing so provides the City the best value and is in the best interest of the City.
D. Based upon the staff report and the evidence provided to the City Council, the City Council finds a “piggy-back” of the LA Agreement with Sterndahl to be the best value and in the best interest of the City, due to the contractor’s competitive pricing and the City’s need for immediate work to maintain public facilities and streets in a safe and orderly condition. The City Council desires to approve and authorize the City Manager and the Public Works Director to finalize, award, and execute a multi-year agreement with Sterndahl.
E. The work subject to the multi-year agreement is related to the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alterations of existing public facilities, and no exceptions to categorical exemptions appear to apply. A s street maintenance projects that do not 513

2 expand any existing use of the public facilities, such activity is categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (14 CCR § 15301.).
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK RESOLVES:
1. Pursuant to Burbank Municipal Code Section 2 -2-116, the City Council hereby authorizes and approves the LA Agreement with Sterndahl to perform the installation and maintenance of all the City pavement markings and signs that regulate traffic and parking within the public right -of-way. Accordingly, the City Council hereby waives the traditional competitive bidding requirement as outlined in Burbank Municipal Code Section 2-2-116 as it finds that the LA Agreement accompanied by a competitive proposal solicitation process provides the City the best value and is in the best interest of the City.
2. That the City Manager or the Public Works Director may: (a) finalize, award, and execute the City’s Agreement with Sterndahl , s ubject to approval from the City Attorney’s Office; and (b) award and execute any ancillary documents and amendments as may be approved by the City Attorney’s Office , but only to the extent the applicable funds are available and budgeted.
3. That the Public Works Director , or their designee, is authorized to review and in their discretion, to approve the project plans and specifications , if necessary for the project.
4. That the City Clerk be the custodian of all documents and records which constitute the record of proceedings for the project, and such documents and records shall be maintained in the office of the City Clerk at 275 East Olive Avenue, Burbank California, 91503.

PAVEMENT PRESERVATION PROGRAM SERVICES
This Agreeme nt (the "Agreement" or "Contract") is made and entered into by and between the City of Los Angeles (hereinafter referred as the "City"), a municipal corporation, acting by and through the Department of Transportation (hereinafter referred to as "LADOT") and Sterndahl Enterprises LLC ("hereinafter referred to as "Contractor") for the provision of Pavement Markings, Striping, Slurry Sealing and other Pavement Preservation Program services. The City and the Contractor are collectively referred to as "Parties" and individually as "Party."
WHEREAS, since 2011, LADOT utilized a contract procured by the Department of General Services (GSD) for the provision of pavement markings, striping, slurry sealing and other pavement preservation program work.
WHEREAS, GSD informed LADOT that it will no longer be administering the contract, which is set to expire on August 31, 2024.
WHEREAS, in July 2020, LADOT submitted a Notice of Intent to Contract to the CAO and a 1022 Information Form to the Personnel Department.
WHEREAS, in accordance with Charter Section 1022, the Personnel Department determined that City classifications could perform the work being proposed. LADOT contacted 41 City Departments: 18 Departments did not have sufficient staff to perform the project scope and 23 did not respond by the deadline date. Consequently, the City Administrative Officer (CAO) concluded that LADOT has an existing need to continue contracting out the work and does not currently have the ability to pay for and fill the additional positions and procure the capital equipment necessary to take over the tasks currently performed by the contractor.
WHEREAS, on January 26, 2024, the City of Los Angeles Transportation Committee received an LADOT request to release an REP for the provision of pavement markings, striping, slurry sealing and other pavement preservation program services (CF 24-0096).
WHEREAS, the RFP was released on February 27, 2024 on the Regional Alliance Marketplace for Procurement at Los Angeles (RAMPLA) website. In accordance with Charter Section 10. 15, RAMPLA advertised the RFP and sent notifications to vendors who previously expressed interest in providing the type of work outlined in the RFP.
WHEREAS, On March 12, 2024, LADOT held a mandatory pre-proposal conference to provide an overview of the RFP and answer questions from potential bidders.

1 STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 30, 2026
TO: Justin Hess, City Manager
FROM: Marisa Garcia, Parks and Recreation Director
VIA: Diego Cevallos, Parks and Recreation Assistant Director BY: Noah Altman, Recreation Services Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of a Multi-Year Reimbursement Agreement with Family Service Agency for the Youth-Focused Counseling Services Program
RECOMMENDATION
Approve a multi -year reimbursement agreement with the Family Service Agency (FSA) of Burbank for the Youth-Focused Counseling Services Program, to be funded annually from the Youth Services Holding Account. Expenditures would be up to $245,000 in Fiscal Year (FY) 2026–27, $272,500 in FY 2027–28, and $300,000 in FY 2028–29.
BACKGROUND
At the March 18, 2014 City Council (Council) meeting, Parks and Recreation (P&R) staff presented a report outlining the history of the former Burbank Youth Task Force and the annual youth services funding recommendation process. Following the disbandment of the Youth Task Force, staff recommended that Council continue a multi-year reimbursement agreement with FSA for the School-Based Counseling Program. Council subsequently approved recurring funding in the amount of $245,000 for a three-year term covering FY 2014 –15 through FY 2016– 17. At the conclusion of that term, Council approved one-year agreements for FY 2017–18, FY 2018–19, and FY 2019–20, followed by a three- year agreement covering FY 2020– 21 through FY 2022– 23. Most recently, Council approved a three- year agreement for FY 2023– 24 through FY 2025 –26. The current reimbursement agreement with FSA is set to expire on June 30, 2026.
Per previous Council direction, the agreement includes provisions requiring FSA to report

Item #5
performance metrics to evaluate program effectiveness. P&R staff work closely with FSA 554
2 to ensure compliance with all contractual requirements. FSA’s FY 2024–25 Annual Report is included as Attachment 1.
DISCUSSION
Since 2002, the School-Based Counseling Program has operated and provides individual, family, and group counseling services to elementary, middle, and high school students within the Burbank Unified School District (BUSD). Students may be referred for counseling by teachers, counselors, administrative staff and/or through self -referral.
During the 2024-25 school year, FSA serviced more than 1,600 students directly through the School-Based Counseling Program. FSA also operate d mental health and wellness centers at Burbank High School and John Burroughs High School, which provide students with immediate support and guidance.
As required under the existing agreement, FSA provides the City with an annual report that includes financial information and qualitative and quantitative data evaluating program outcomes. This data demonstrates that FSA provides a valuable and necessary service to Burbank youth. The program is well established in the community and relies on a combination of FSA fundraising and City funding.
The current reimbursement agreement between FSA and the City is contingent on FSA and BUSD’s agreement to provide counseling services on BUSD school campus. The agreement between FSA and BUSD will expire on June 30, 2026. FSA and BUSD are expected to renew their agreement, but under a different service delivery model . As a result, the City is entering into its own agreement with FSA with services eligible for reimbursement transitioning from school-based sites to City-operated facilities. Under the proposed agreement between FSA and the City , FSA will be reimbursed for counseling services provided within the City, ensuring continued access to individual, family, and group counseling services for Burbank youth. This new model maintains service continuity while transitioning oversight and delivery to the City. The City and FSA are proposing a new program that will be available to all youth in Burbank with referrals that can originate from school staff (public and private), parents, coaches, and/or City staff.
If approved by Council, the P&R Director will be authorized to enter into a new three-year reimbursement agreement with FSA covering FY 202 6-27 through FY 202 8-29 (Attachment 2). Consistent with prior agreements, the City will reimburse FSA based upon submitted invoices, up to $245,000 in FY 2026– 27. The agreement includes increased reimbursement amounts of up to $272,500 in FY 2027–28 and $300,000 in FY 2028–29 to account for rising operating costs. The agreement allows the City to amend or terminate funding, pending respective budget constraints. As part of this approval, the Park & Recreation Director is authorized to establish any conditions for FSA’s temporary use of City property and attach those conditions to this agreement, consistent with B urbank Municipal Code § 2-2-214.
555
3 The agreement also includes a termination provision stating that if FSA ceases to provide program services, the agreement will automatically terminate and no further reimbursement will be issued.
Under the proposed agreement, FSA will be required to:
Quarterly provide the City with itemized financial reports for the youth-focused program, which may include but are not limited to, administrative costs, labor costs, and program costs per child; and
Annually provide the City with FSA’s most recent approved budget, audited annual statement, and IRS 990 form;
Annually provide the City with a variety of information to indicate the program’s effectiveness. Information will include:
o Statistics on the actual number and percentage of youth served at elementary, middle, and high school levels;
o The average number of hour(s) spent counseling per youth in individual and group counseling sessions;
o The total number of youths referred and the manner in which the student was referred to the youth-focused counseling program (ex. court, police/probation, teacher/school counselor, etc.);
o General issues/topics of counseling provided.
FSA will also continue to submit an annual report summarizing program outcomes. These assessments include input from participating youths (when age- appropriate), parents, and referring staff such as teachers, counselors, administrators, and City staff.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This is governmental fiscal activity for an existing program. The additional funding has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and as such, is not a “project” subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 14 Cal. Code Regs § 15378.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Youth Services Holding Account (001.PR31F.62970.000) has an annual budget of $270,000. Under a separate agreement between the City and Boys and Girls Club (BGC), $25,000 is allocated for the Drop- In Middle School Program . Under the proposed reimbursement agreement, FSA will receive up to $245,000 for FY 2026- 27. To support the planned reimbursement increases in subsequent years, additional budget requests of $27,500 will be included in FY 2027- 28 and FY 2028- 29, subject to Council approv al through the budget process. If approved, the holding account would increase to $297,500 in FY 2027-28 and $325,000 in FY 2028-29.
556
4 CONCLUSION
FSA counseling programs have had a significant positive impact on Burbank youth, and the City’s continued financial contribution remains an important component of their success. Should the Council approve the proposed reimbursement agreement, staff will continue to work closely with FSA to monitor program effectiveness and overall impact.
Based on the program’s long- standing success and positive community outcomes, staff recommends continued City funding of the FSA Youth-Focused Counseling Program and approval of the multi-year reimbursement agreement.

Family Service Agency of Burbank Youth Mental Health (School-based) Counseling Program A Survey 2024-25 In partnership with the City of Burbank and the Burbank Unified School District (BUSD) Family Service Agency of Burbank (FSA) has oLered on-campus mental health care individually, in groups, and preventative workshops for youth grades K-12 since 2002. Each year both quantitative and qualitative data has been oLered as measurement of the eLectiveness of program services to aLect positive change in the lives of Burbank’s youth. In 2023-2024 the Burbank City Council granted FSA a three-year service contract. As part of the contract Burbank’s City Council requested that FSA include a survey as part of their annual reporting practices. In response FSA researched and developed a pre and post survey designed to determine if parents, referring professionals, and age-appropriate clients had observed positive change because of receiving interventions oLered through FSA’s Youth Mental Health (School-based )Counseling Program. Methods:
This contract year a pre and post instrument was oLered to a random sample of age-appropriate youth clients (grades 8-12), their parent(s), and BUSD referring professionals.
The objectives: 1. To measure overall general program eLectiveness in aLecting positive change as observed by age-appropriate students (grades 8-12 ), their parents, and BUSD referring professionals. 2. To measure eLectiveness, for clinical purposes only, in aLecting positive change in the individual youth’s specific referring behaviors through pre and post surveying of parents and referring BUSD professionals. 562
Pre-surveys (Exhibit 1) consisted of a 20-point social, emotional, and behavioral scale reflecting such issues as depression, anxiety, verbal conflicts, impulsive behaviors, excessive absences, etc. The referred youth’s parent(s) and the referring BUSD professional were asked to identify and rate on a 6-point scale the specific referred youth’s issue(s) and the severity of the issue(s). (0) - Not at all (1) - Once or Twice (2) - Several Times (3) - Often (4) - Most of the Time (5) - All of the Time Post-surveys (Exhibit 2) consisted of 3 parts. The first part was a duplicate of the pre-survey 20-point social, emotional, and behavioral scale. The referred youth, their parent(s) and the referring BUSD professional were asked to answer the post question: Please rate the degree to which you believe school-based counseling has/has not benefited from counseling. Participants were oLered the following 6-point scale. (0) - Not at all (1) - Hardly at all (2) - Little change (3) - Notable change (4) - Life changing (5) - Life saving A space was also oLered for comments. Pre-surveys were prepared and oLered by mail, email, or in person to a random sample size of 493 of new individual referrals and returning clients throughout the contract year. *Post surveys were prepared and oLered by mail, email, or in person to a random sample size of 454 to parents and BUSD referring professionals participating in care during the program’s 1 - 4 quarters (Sept. 2024-May 2025). Post surveys were prepared and oLered at the school site/and at FSA to a random sample size of 142 age-appropriate clients (grades 8 -12) participating individually during the program’s 1 – 3 quarters (Sept.-May 2025). Students and parents were oLered two submission options; to self-identify or submit anonymously. *The Middle School and High School Post Professional Surveys this year were completed by a professional group not best prepared to evaluate impact. This error in distribution and collection will be adjusted in the 25/26 survey. However, we have included the data collected this year. 563
Results of the survey measuring overall program eLectiveness in aLecting positive change gathered through post survey program parents, and of age-appropriate students (grades 8 - 12) are as follows:
Responding elementary school parents found therapy to have aLected positive change at the life-saving level in 5% of the cases. Participating parents of elementary school children grades K-5 found program interventions to have aLected positive change at life changing levels in 41% of the cases. In 46% of the cases, they reported program services to have made notable change in the lives of their child and 6% reported little change. Additionally, 2% of parents reported change to have happened hardly at all, and 0% reported no change at all. Responding middle school parents found individual therapy found to have aLected positive change at the life-saving level in 11% of the cases. Participating parents of middle school children (grades 6-8) found program interventions to have aLected positive change at life-changing levels in 49% of cases. In 40% of cases, they reported care to have made notable change. Additionally, 0% reported little change, hardly at all or no change at all. Responding high school parents found individual therapy to have aLected positive change at the life-saving level at 17% of the cases. Participating parents of high school children grades 9-12 reported life changing levels in 47% of the cases. In 36% of the cases, they reported care to have made notable change. 0% of parents responded, little change, hardly at all, or no change at all. 0102030405060

Responding school students (grades 8-12) participating in the program reported that in 11% of the cases found individual therapy to have aLected positive change at life-saving levels. In 42% of the cases, they reported care provided proved life changing. 45% reported experiencing notable change. 2% observed little change and 0% reported hardly any change or no change at all in case evaluations submitted.
Conclusion/Discussion:
The survey’s quantitative results support previous years’ qualitative reports that FSA’s individual school-based counseling services continue to have a significant positive impact in the lives of Burbank’s youth, schools, families, schools, and community. The survey oLered strong, reliable results reporting significant positive change oLered from the client and parent perspectives. In the coming service year (2025-26) distribution of approximately 150 pre-surveys will begin mid-September. Post surveys will be presented to a random sample of age-appropriate student clients (grades 8-12), all parents, and *referring BUSD professionals who have demonstrated the capacity and willingness to participate in the study. The data necessary to measure FSA’s school-based counseling services overall eLectiveness will be gathered through the post survey instrument throughout the year and reported at the end of the third quarter, with fourth quarter (summer program) projections noted. Due to limited resources the pre-survey/post survey of individuals will continue to be collected for clinical purposes only.

DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM AND SERVICES
ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT
The Youth-Focused Counseling program, also known as the Youth Mental HealthCARE Program, defines its mission in the Burbank community to protect our youth from adversity, promote socio -emotional learning and psychological well -being, and ensure access for our youth to quality community-focused, community-based mental health care, which has proven critical for their overall healthy developme nt and well -being.
Beginning in 2004, the CITY partnered with FSA. Over time, this collaboration has grown to provide both individual and group counseling services for youth. Services are available to Burbank youth as allowed by program design and availa ble resources.
Care is provided Individually and/or in groups as deemed site and age appropriate.
Sessions provide support for a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, self-harm, grief and loss, social isolation and alienation, substance use & abuse, all types o f violence- bullying, communication challenges, conflict resolution, relationship dynamics, and emotional regulation.
Accessing Program Services
Referrals will be initiated by designated Youth MH CARE Program site personnel; upon submission of a youth referral an FSA Director is responsible for conducting a comprehensive assessment of the youth involving their parent(s)/guardian(s). Following this assessment, an FSA therapist is assigned to the youths for weekly care in -person.
Virtual care is available to age -appropriate youth upon request and when deemed clinically appropriate. This process is typically completed within a three -week period.
If a site leadership deems a youth’s need immediate, they may access care by calling FSA’s clinical director on the dedicated youth CARE line provided.
For optimal care, when a youth with an IEP or 504 plan is referred to the Youth MH CARE Program, the parent or referring site will include a copy with the referral. All Youth MH CARE Program referrals will be directed to FSA’s Clinical Director.
Costs and Additional Resources
The available resources ultimately determine the design and capacity for each Youth MH CARE Program site. FSA depends on the Youth MH CARE Program site support, grants, and hosts fundraisers annually to support these critical community-based youth services.
Program Impact
The Youth MH CARE Program will deliver a minimum of 6,000 units of CARE annually to a minimum of 600 Burbank’s youth. This initiative has proven in past years to positively affect thousands of young individuals directly, while also offering indirect advant ages for their families, neighborhoods, schools, and the greater Burbank community.

Each Youth MH CARE Program site will collaborate with FSA to arrange suitable space for individual and/or group care within the program.
Dates of Implementation and Completion
The program aligns with each Youth MH CARE Program site calendars, which generally corresponds with the BUSD school.

DATE: June 30, 2026
TO: Justin Hess, City Manager
FROM: Mandip Kaur Samra, General Manager, Burbank Water and Power VIA: Joseph Lillio, Chief Financial Officer
BY: Wayne Smith, Warehouse Manager, Burbank Water and Power SUBJECT: Approval to Authorize the General Manager of Burbank Water and Power to Award the Multi -Year Alliance Agreement with Okonite for Various Material Categories to Support the Burbank Water and Power Warehouse
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the General Manager of Burbank Water and Power (BWP), as designee of the City Manager, to execute a multi-year Alliance Agreement (Agreement) with The Okonite Company (Okonite) for various large electrical distribution wire and cable supplies supporting the BWP Warehouse operations.
BACKGROUND
In 2009, the City of Burbank’s (City) Purchasing Division worked with the BWP Warehouse to develop a plan to reduce inventory shortages. The joint effort was named the Material Process Improvement (MPI) Program. The ultimate goal of reducing the inventory shortages was two-fold: to increase the efficiency of the field crews and reduce schedule delays, thereby improving service to the community. A key element of the MPI Program was the use of Alliance Agreements. An Alliance Agreement is typically a long- term contract that creates a partnership between an organization and a selected vendor to streamline the flow of materials. The selected vendor will work with the organization to monitor inventory levels, maintain inventory at the facility, and collaborate with City staff to assess problems and identify solutions. This agreement focused on improving organizational performance while reducing the total cost of doing business. This broader approach considers not only the initial acquisition cost of materials, but also factors such as product durability and functionality, inventory carrying cost, product obsolescence, and labor efficiency.

ite was last selected through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process in 2017 as part of this Agreement. The A greement w as subsequently approved by City Council (Council). The Agreement was effective for four years and included options to extend it for up to three additional one-year terms. With the agreement term exhausted, it was necessary to conduct a new competitive procurement process for purchas e of Class 25 wire and cable.
DISCUS
SION
The results of using long- term Alliance Agreements have been favorable to the utility .
Prior to using the Alliance Agreements, inventory shortages occurred often, whereas now, inventory shortages have decreased significantly. This decrease has enabled field crews to be more efficient, with fewer schedule disruptions and project delays.
The pr
oposed Agreement includes several provisions that minimize risk. The City may terminate the Agreement with or without cause, at any time after giving 30 days' advance notice. The vendor must maintain three months of common inventory at no charge to the City. The contract is subject to price increases or decreases every six months, based on a commodity index and based on the current market . Material pricing can fluctuate widely, particularly when influenced by commodity markets.
The Pl
anetBids E-Procurement System was used to issue the RFP solicitation for various underground Class 25 copper and aluminum utility wires and cables. Ultimately, Okonite was the only company that submitted a bid to the C ity. Okonite is one of the original insulators of electrical wire and cable in the United States. They have a factory in California and manufacture medium and high-voltage underground cable. Okonite meets BWP’s specifications for medium and high voltage cable and maintains competitive pricing. Okonite maintains appropriate inventory levels to ensure reliable material availability, improve operational efficiency, and provide timely project support to field crews. By entering into this contract, BWP will continue to maintain appropriate inventory levels, thereby providing consistent reliability to the Burbank community.
ENVIR
ONMENTAL REVIEW
Executing this Alliance Agreement with Okonite for various Class 25 electrical distribution wire and cables is not considered a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further environmental review is necessary (see 14 CCR § 15378).
FIS
CAL IMPACT
There are sufficient funds in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Council-approved Budget for this contract. Staff anticipates this contract will be $3,700,000 based on the unit prices of the materials needed. This agreement establishes pricing for materials that are purchased as needed throughout the year. Material quantities are based on operational and project 597
3 requirements and may vary from initial estimates.
CONCLUS
ION
This Agreement was the result of a competitive RFP process and awards the selected vendor, Okonite, who will streamline the flow of materials and assist BWP in acquiring various material Class 25 copper and aluminum utility wire and cable utilized for undergrounding applications. The initial contract term is for four years to secure favorable pricing and material availability, with the option to renew for up to three additional one- year terms, subject to mutual agreement. . The BWP Warehouse should be able to maintain part shortages below 1% and provide the inventory of Class 25 wire and cable needed to keep field crews efficient. The placement of this Agreement will lower product acquisition costs, ensure BWP field crews remain efficient, and enable BWP to satisfy its customers by completing projects without delay.

SUBJECT: Approval of an Agreement with the American Public Power Association for the Demonstration of Energy and Efficiency Development Program Grant for the Development of Power -Efficient Design in Utility Customer Electrification Programs in the Amount of $77,750
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the agreement with the American Public Power Association (APPA) accepting grant funds for the Demonstration of Energy and Efficiency Development (DEED) program grant in the amount of $77,750 for the development of Power Design in Utility Customer Electrification Programs (Agreement), and authorize the General Manager o f Burbank Water and Power (BWP), as designee to the City Manager, to execute the Agreement and any other ancillary documents, including amendments, in form and substance satisfactory to the City Attorney’s Office.
BACKGROUND
APPA is a not -for-profit group of approximately 2,000 community-owned utilities throughout the United States, of which BWP is a member. APPA advocates for public power, provides education to member utilities, and awards grants for research and development to projects submitted by member agencies.
The DEED grant is APPA’s primary grant offered for member agencies. DEED grants fund research, pilot projects, and education, with a focus on grants for projects that can be replicated at utilities nationwide. Previously, BWP received a DEED grant for the Iron- Flow Battery Demonstration Project.

Item #7
629
2 BWP staff applied for a DEED grant on February 15, 2026, for the development of a program for Power Efficient Design in Utility Customer Electrification Program s, in collaboration with the POWER G roup. The POWER G roup is a not -for-profit network of 200+ collaborators working on residential electrification.
DISCUS
SION
APPA approved BWP’s DEED grant application for Power -Efficient Design in Utility Customer Electrification Programs on April 23, 2026. Power-efficient design is an emerging practice in electrification that enables residential projects to be completed without upgrading the main panel or utility service. This practice results in greater affordability for customers and reduces the electric utility's need for service planning, labor, and capital upgrades to support electrification.
There ar
e three main phases for the grant. First, working with the POWER Group's experts in power -efficient design, BWP will develop a guide for implementing utility electrification programs that promotes power-efficient design. Second, BWP and the POWER Group will develop a spreadsheet to estimate utility expenditure savings from power-efficient design projects vs. traditional electrification projects. Finally, BWP will complete demonstration electrification projects to explore the efficacy of power -efficient design principles and demonstrate the customer and utility cost savings.
The DE
ED grant and related implementation program may be used for future residential projects, including both market -rate and affordable units . This project aligns with the following three measures in the Council -adopted Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan (2022):
1. Measur
e BE.1.3b - Continue to perform outreach for smart grid integration and promotion of smart grid-compatible technologies.
2. Measure C-1.1c - Establish a program with Burbank Housing Corporation to provide discounted electric appliances and equipment, as well as technical assistance with installation and electrical panel and circuit upgrades for retrofits and time of replacement upgrades of appliances and equipment in affordable housing units.
3. Measure C1.1f - Implement a pilot project for retrofitting of an entire building of affordable housing units, as determined feasible.
The to
tal project budget is $155,000 from the Public Benefits Fund, with the grant covering 50% of the cost at $77,750. The project is estimated to begin in July 2026 and be completed by October 2027.
630
3 COMMUNITY OUTREACH
The demonstration projects are currently planned to be part of BWP’s ongoing efforts to electrify low-income units in the City of Burbank (City). Outreach to the residents of those units is planned to educate them on the operation and benefits of the new, power-efficient electrical appliances.
At the
June 4, 2026 BWP Board (Board) meeting, staff informed the Board of APPA's grant approval during the Sustainability Update.
ENVIR
ONMENTAL REVIEW
Staff has reviewed this item in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and believes that approval of this item is not a project under CEQA. This project is designed to promote and complete electrification projects that reduce emissions and environmental impacts. Accordingly, this item involves government fiscal activities unrelated to any specific project with the potential for an environmental impact. (See 14 CCR § 15378 (fiscal activities that do not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment are not projects). As such, this item is not a project under CEQA, and no further environmental review is necessary. However, to the extent any future demonstration projects fall within the definition of a project subject to CEQA, such projects are statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to 14 CCR § 15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities) as they will involve minor alteration of existing private residential structures involving no expansion of existing or former use and there are no unusual circumstances that would preclude the use of this exemption. Future demonstration projects will involve retrofit ting of existing residential structures to promote electrification and reduce emissions.
FIS
CAL IMPACT
The overall project is estimated to cost $155,000, and will be funded by restricted funds budgeted for Public Benefits programs. APPA will reimburse 50% of the cost ($77,500) through the grant. Public Benefits funds consist of restricted cash that may be used only for eligible purposes and are segregated from other cash within the Electric Fund.
Furthermore, Public Benefits expenditures are excluded from rate studies; therefore, the use of Public Benefits funds for this project will have no direct impact on electric rates.
This project is an eligible use of Public Benefits funds because it supports rese arch and development activities.
CONCLUS
ION
The approval of this grant will benefit the community by improving BWP’s electrification programs. Power-efficient design allows customers to electrify at a much lower cost, and the reduction in panel upgrades reduces BWP’s capital expenditure needs . Staff recommends that Council approve the Agreement accepting the DEED program grant in the amount of $77,750, and authorize the General Manager of BWP, as designee to the 631
4 City Manager, to execute the A greement and any other ancillary documents, including amendments, in form and substance satisfactory to the City Attorney’s Office.

Th
is Grant Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the date of last signature below (“Effective Date”) by and between the American Public Power Association (“APPA”) and the City of Burbank (“Grantee”), each a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”.
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of APPA has established the Demonstration of Energy & Efficiency Developments (“DEED”) program that is dedicated to improving the operations and services of public power utilities by supporting and demonstrating its members’ innovative activities through research, funding, and education; WHEREAS, Grantee has submitted a proposed demonstration project, in a DEED proposal submitted on February 15, 2026, which is incorporated herein by reference, with information including a project description, the rationale, schedule, and estimated cost of the project, together with a statement of why the project is widely applicable to members of APPA, and supporting technical material;
WHEREAS, the DEED Board has found the proposed project to be meritorious and worthy of a DEED grant;
WHEREAS Grantee has agreed to the DEED grant terms as described below:
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Funding. APPA will supply a DEED grant in the amount of $77,750 to Grantee (“DEED Grant”). Payment shall be made within 30 days of receipt of invoice at APPA, as further described in Sections 9 and 10.
2. Project and Project Personnel. The project to be undertaken by Grantee i s as
f
ollows:
The project will be executed in two parallel steps with feedback loops via a demonstration project to transfer on-the-ground learnings. The first step is designing a program guide to implement power efficient design (PED) in residential buildings – both single and multifamily – with accompanying guides for key audiences. The second step is developing a simulation model to analyze the cost benefits, such as reduced infrastructure upgrades, and staff time, from implementing PED on a utility grid vs. traditional electrification. Finally, a demonstration ATTACHMENT 1
A1-1
633
Demonstration of Energy & Efficiency Developments (DEED) Grant Agreement Burbank Water and Power
CG-2824: Power Efficient Design in Utility Customer Electrification Programs
project on residential units will be performed, informed by this simulation model and the program guide.
In the first step, a residential electrification program will be designed centered on PED that promotes using existing electrical panels wherever possible to maximize resources, increase affordability, and shorten timelines. In this new program, a new cost-effective incentive structure and implementation path for PED will be designed, which includes multi-function appliances (e.g. combination washer and dryer), power efficient appliances (e.g. heat pumps without resistance strip heat), thoughtful sizing (e.g. EV charger), load controls (e.g. circuit sharing or circuit pausing), strategic use of the National Electrical Code, and solutions to save panel space.
Program guides will be developed for key audiences – utility planners, service planners, homeowners/building owners, contractors, and city departments like building and safety. The guides will be tailored to the audience, but will have core content detailing the program structure, the concept of PED and its implementation, and key check points to measure success.
Then, outreach and training will be conducted with the guides to introduce the new program to different audiences.
In the second step, a simulation model will be developed to measure the value of PED implementation on a utility’s grid. This simulation model design will happen at the same time as the first step. The simulation model will be developed in Excel and use BWP’s labor, material, and equipment costs to estimate the cost savings in avoided capital upgrades from implementing PED. Once this model is built, neighborhoods will be identified to run simulations across three scenarios: (1) electrifying all customers connected to a single transformer, (2) electrifying an entire residential feeder lateral, and (3) electrifying a mixed neighborhood of single-family and multifamily buildings. From these simulations, the impacts of PED will be analyzed in contrast to business-as-usual electrification for both cost and time savings for the utilities and customers.
Next, the simulation model will be used to identify sites to carry out a demonstration project with PED. In this demonstration project, the program guides developed in the first step will be piloted to carry out PED electrification. The demonstration project’s electrification implementation impacts (including loads, costs, labor, and time) will be measured to contrast with the simulation model’s prediction. Surveys will be conducted to understand the experiences of the property owner, contractor, residents, and utility staff in undertaking the PED electrification. The information, learnings, and results from this demonstration project will be used to update the program design and guides, as well as, the simulation model.

1 STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 30, 2026
TO: Justin Hess, City Manager
FROM: Mandip Kaur Samra, General Manager, Burbank Water and Power VIA: Richard Wilson, Assistant General Manager, Water Systems BY: Drew Johnstone, Sustainability Officer
SUBJECT: Introduction of an Ordinance Amending and Restating Article 3 of Chapter 2 of Title 8 of the Burbank Municipal Code, Relating to the Sustainable Water Use Practices, and Finding of a CEQA Exemption (14 CCR 15061, 15301, 15305, 15307, 15308)
RECOMMENDATION
Introduce AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK AMENDING AND RESTATING TITLE 8, CHAPTER 2, ARTICLE 3 (SUSTAINABLE WATER USE ORDINANCE) OF THE BURBANK MUNICIPAL CODE (Attachment 1).
BACKGROUND
The Sustainable Water Use Ordinance (SWUO) was first adopted by the Burbank City Council (Council) on April 22, 2008, to comply with State Water Resources Control Board drought-related requirements. Since 2008, the SWUO has been presented to Council approximately 10 times for consideration of ordinance amendments and resolutions to move the community to various stages of water conservation . The most recent presentation to Council was on August 22, 2023, during which Council voted to remain at Stage III (which restricts outdoor irrigation to 1-2 days depending on the season) and directed staff to consider potential revisions to the SWUO.
The existing SWUO has a baseline set of measures that are applicable at all times to discourage water waste. The baseline set of measures are best practices to ensure that water is used wisely and sustainably, and to reduce waste and unreasonable use. The policy also has six stages to mitigate the effects of water shortages, with stage one Public Hearing
Item #1
including the baseline set of measures, and as the stage number increases, additional 647
2 restrictions to discourage wasteful water use also increase. Each increasing stage reflects the water supply situation of the times, often responding to executive orders or e
mergency declarations from the state or region.
Since 2013, the City of Burbank (City) has reduced its per capita water usage from 162 gallons per day to 113 gallons per day. This can be attributed to a variety of factors, including consistent marketing and outreach about conservation, community workshops and programs, tiered rates, generous rebates for water-saving devices and landscapes, mandatory conservation practices in the SWUO, increased use of recycled water, advanced leak detection, and a retrofit-upon-resale policy that requires installation of efficient water fixtures when buildings are sold.
DISCUSSION
The existing SWUO includes six water conservation stages with escalating levels of restrictions based on drought severity. While the SWUO does not clearly establish the criteria for transitioning between conservation stages, such changes have historically b
een prompted by a Governor’s executive order and implemented through adoption of a City Council resolution.
Historically, Burbank has been in Stages I, II, and III at different times. The City adopted the SWUO in 2008, moved to Stage II in 2009, returned to Stage I in 2011, moved to Stage II again in 2014, and finally moved to Stage III in 202 2. In August 2023, staff reported to the Burbank Water and Power (BWP) Board (Board) and Council that the City had sufficient water to return to Stage II, thanks to above-average precipitation and sufficient storage levels. However, the Board was split on its recommendation, and the Council decided to remain at Stage III (which restricts outdoor irrigation to 1-2 days depending on the season). Council also directed staff to revise the SWUO to account for the unpredictability of the seasons and new irrigation control technologies.
Since 2023, there have been advancements in state water policy, and BWP conducted extensive community engagement, which shaped the proposed SWUO updates. The proposed SWUO update has a new section to comply with Assembly Bill 1572 (2023) , which
requires public water systems to update local ordinances and regulations relating to restrictions on the use of potable water to irrigate nonfunctional turf by January 1, 2027.
See Section 8-2-305 of Attachment 1 for definitions, compliance effective dates for varying property types, as well as exemptions.
The proposed SWUO has also been greatly simplified to expand to a single set of permanent conservation measures in place year-round, aligning with the Making Conservation a California Way of Life regulations from the State of California. Each measure targets either highly visible waste, high-volume waste, or easy behavioral changes with high compliance potential. The health of Burbank trees is consistently 648
3 considered throughout the SWUO, and attended hand-watering or drip irrigation of trees is encouraged. The table below lists the permanent measures and their proposed updates.

During community meetings and surveys, residents expressed a commitment to water conservation, a willingness to reduce use during drought, and a desire for more flexibility in how they use water. In response, BWP is proposing to move away from prescriptive conservation stages and assigned watering days. Instead, permanent conservation measures would remain year-round, and when water supply circumstances support additional conservation efforts, the General Manager of BWP would establish conservation target s and voluntary measures and communicate them to customers through a comprehensive public outreach campaign. Historically, the Burbank community has responded effectively to voluntary conservation requests during severe drought conditions, notably the billion-gallon challenge in 2015, and infrastructure upgrades such as the Metropolitan Water District’s (MWD) pipeline repair in 2022 that reduced water supplies for two weeks in the middle of a drought.
Prior to communicating recommended targets, t he General Manager of BWP will determine the timing and scope of targets based on key indicators of water supply reliability such as the amount of locally stored water, operational conditions on the State Water Project and Colorado River that reduce imported water supplies, MWD’s operational needs, Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountain Snowpack and run-off levels. This is similar to how staff would recommend changing stages under the existing SWUO.
Enforcement continues to be an option by issuance of an administrative citation. The proposed Ordinance update would remove the requirement for two courtesy notices before issuing the citation for violations of the SWUO. While the City may continue to provide courtesy notices when appropriate, this change would provide greater flexibility to address violations based on the circumstances of each situation, including the ability to issue citations when the situation warrants immediate action. Staff will prior itize education over enforcement, starting by identifying property cohorts (organized by number of residents and landscaped area square footage) and above -average users to 650
5 be sent saving tips and resources. Enforcement will be reserved for confirmed violations of the SWUO that can be consistently identified and cited.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Extensive research, internal and external stakeholder interviews, a survey (in English, Armenian, and Spanish) , and community meetings were held to garner insights that helped shape the proposed SWUO update. Stakeholder interviews were conducted with various organizations and included representatives from Master Gardeners, MWD, Theodore Payne Foundation, Burbank-Valley Garden Club, and the Monarch Mile. BWP staff presented to the Development Oversight Committee, Sustainable Burbank Commission, BWP Board, Chamber of Commerce Board, and hosted three dedicated community meetings. On March 9, 2026, the Sustainable Burbank Commission recommended that the City Council adopt the proposed Ordinance. On June 4, 2026, the BWP Board considered the proposed ordinance and following discussion, a motion to recommend adoption to City Council was not passed on a 3 -3 tie vote. The Board’s concerns generally were related to removing watering day restrictions and difficulty enforcing the remaining restrictions, and therefore no formal recommendation was forwarded to the Council.
Staff provided public notice of the Council’s public hearing to consider the proposed Ordinance in a newspaper of general circulation in the City on June 13, 2026, in accordance with California Water Code section 376(b)(1). An additional notification was published on the City’s Newsroom website.
If the updated SWUO is adopted by the Council, BWP will inform customers of the change via in-person presentations, bill inserts, digital newsletters, and online marketing. Focus will shift from subjective watering day calendars to Making Conservation a CA Way of Life – a year-round pursuit. Although the official SWUO stages are removed in the proposed Ordinance, BWP will ensure that the ordinance's flexible provisions are framed within a broader conservation imperative, not as a relaxation of conservation goals.
BWP’s Marketing, Communications, and Outreach team has two robust marketing plans, one with year-round messages and the other to be executed in conjunction with a call for voluntary conservation . The plans have audience -specific messages to reinforce the importance of responding to water supply conditions, responsible water use, best practices for outdoor landscaping, and how to participate in BWP’s portfolio of programs, workshops, and how to appl y for generous rebates for both outdoor and indoor water conservation measures. The measures of particular importance are weather -responsive smart irrigation controllers, soil moisture sensors, rotating sprinkler nozzles, and turf replacement designs and incentives.

6 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Adoption of the proposed Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code section 21000, and following) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that it will have a significant effect on the environment (CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3)). Adoption of the proposed Ordinance is further exempt from CEQA as it includes regulations to protect water resources and the ability to provide water resources, and consists of regulations and restrictions on certain water use-related activities to ensure the maintenance, restoration, or enhancement of a natural resource . ( CEQA Guidelines sections 15301 (Existing Facilities), 15305 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations), 15307 (Actions for Protection of Natural Resources) and 15308 (Actions for Protection of Environment).) In addition, there are no unusual circumstances under CEQA Guidelines, section 15300.2(c) that would preclude the use of these exemptions.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with this report. The Water Fund remains financially stable, and future rate studies will continue to evaluate the impacts of conservation trends to ensure adequate revenue and reserve levels.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends these proposed amendments to maintain and expand permanent conservation measures while simplifying the Ordinance, making it easier for the community to comply and the City to enforce, while incorporating state requirements related to nonfunctional turf. The proposed changes to the SWUO prepare the community for a water-irrigation budget mindset and to get ahead of future state efficiency mandates, rather than relying on older drought-era restrictions like watering days. Staff requests that the Council adopt the amendments to the SWUO, which will amend and restate Burbank Municipal Code Title 8, Chapter 2, Article 3.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES
SUSTAINABLE WATER USE ORDINANCE (SWUO)
MARCH 2026
Previous
Section No.
& New
Section No.
Reason Revision
8-2-302 (B) Added context to the
purpose of the
SWUO, removed
mention of six
conservation stages,
and added General
Manager authority to
develop additional
recommended
measures and
communicate such
measures to the
customers.
Purpose. Conditions may arise from time to time that will limit the water supply to the City. This article provides procedures to reduce water use citywide and thereby mitigate the effect of a shortage of water resources. Through the use of incremental stages, as appropriate for prevailing conditions, this article provides for increasing levels of water use restrictions and penalties in order to discourage wasteful water use practices and achieve reduced water consumption.
Purpose. Climate change, weather whiplash, and aridification have been more frequent and intense. California is facing increasingly variable weather patterns in both intensity and frequency, from record dry periods to intense storms. The City is adapting t
o climate change by strengthening our water
resiliency and sustainability to prepare for increased
uncertainty in both short and long-term weather patterns. This article provides guidance to use water wisely and sustainably to reduce wasteful water use. Water conservation is one of the tools that we can use to adapt to climate change and mitigate the impact of water supply shortages. This article provides water use best practices to reduce water consumption.
Additionally, this article empowers the General M anager of Burbank Water and Power to establish incremental water use reduction targets and provide voluntary water conservation recommendations, as needed, based on prevailing conditions. 8-2-304 Stages removed and
replaced with
permanent water
conservation
requirements. The
majority of these
measures are carried
over from stage one
of the existing
SWUO, which were
also in place at all
times since the
SWUO was enacted.
SUSTAINABLE WATER USE STAGES:
The water use restrictions imposed by this article shall be implemented in six stages. Stage I, consisting of sustainable water use measures that will be in place at all times, shall take effect immediately on the effective date of the ordinance enacting this article. Stages II, III, IV, V and VI shall require subsequent action of the City Council pursuant to section8-2- 305. The six stages are as follows:
PERMANENT WATER CONSERVATION REQUIREMENTS:
All applicable users must comply with the following permanent water conservation (Making Water Conservation a California Way of Life or MCCWL) requirements:
8-2-304 (A)(1)
8-2-304 (A)
8-2-304 (C)
8-2-304 (D)
Removed stages and
split sub-section A
into three separate
subsections for
irrigation times,
attended hand-
watering, and
limitations on
irrigating after rain.
A. Stage I. In Stage I, water users shall follow these
sustainable water use practices:
(1) Do not water outdoor landscaped areas more than fifteen (15) minutes per day per station and no more than three (3) days per week, year -round. Areas watered with low volume irrigation systems that require additional spray time are exempt from the 15-minute time restriction of this requirement, but must comply with the three (3) days per week watering limit. The three allowable irrigation days are Tuesdays, 661
A2-2
These irrigation
practices avoid over-
watering and runoff,
emphasize the
importance and
encouragement of
attended hand-
watering for the
health of trees, and
prevent irrigation
during rainfall.
Recognizes that
attending hand
watering allows
precise application
and promotes water
stewardship through
personal
engagement with
landscaping.
Encourages deep
watering of trees,
which is critical for
urban forest health
and canopy
preservation.
The two-day follow-
up after rain
accounts for soil
saturation and
prevents
unnecessary
watering when
natural precipitation
has occurred.
Thursdays and Saturdays. With the exception of attended hand- watering, irrigation will not be allowed any day outside of the requirement listed here. Attended hand- watering is allowed any day of the week. Do not water outdoor landscaped areas on rainy days and at least two days thereafter.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
BURBANK AMENDING AND RESTATING TITLE 8,
CHAPTER 2, ARTICLE 3 (SUSTAINABLE WATER USE
ORDINANCE) OF THE BURBANK MUNICIPAL CODE
City Attorney’s Synopsis
This Ordinance amends the City’s existing Sustainable Water Use Ordinance by converting the City’s existing stage- based conservation measures to permanent conservation processes, incorporating recent state law requirements limiting irrigation of nonfunctional turf (AB 1572 (2023)) , and providing for other procedural changes to the enforcement of the sustainable water use practices.
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
A. Article X, section 2 of the California Constitution declares that waters of the State are to be put to beneficial use, that waste, unreasonable use, or unreasonable method of use of water be prevented, and that water be conserved for the public welfare.
B. California Water Code, sections 375 and following, empower any public entity which supplies water at retail or wholesale to adopt and enforce a water conservation program to reduce the quantity of water used by those within its service area after holding a public hearing and making appropriate findings of necessity for the adoption of a water conservation program.
C. The City has made the appropriate findings of necessity, adopted a water conservation program and codified such program in Article 3 of Chapter 2 of Title 8 of the Burbank Municipal Code (BMC).
D. The City further finds that making the existing water conservation program measures permanent , and incorporating state law related to nonfunctional turf, is necessary to ensure a sufficient water supply and to prevent unreasonable use or waste of water.
E. In addition, the state legislature has found and has declared that the use of potable water to irrigate nonfunctional turf is wasteful and incompatible with state policy 673
ATTACHMENT 1
A1-2
relating to climate change, water conservation, and reduced reliance on the Sacramento- San Joaquin Delta ecosystem.
F. By January 1, 2027, public water systems, including the City, must revise their ordinances, regulations and policies to prohibit the use of potable water for the irrigation of nonfunctional turf in accordance with California Water Code section 10608.14.
G. On [date City Council public hearing was held], the City Council at its regular meeting, held a duly noticed public hearing and made appropriate findings for the adoption of this Ordinance.
H. Said hearing was properly noticed in accordance with California Water Code section 376.
I. The City Council considered the report and recommendations of the General Manager, and the evidence and testimony presented at such hearing.
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
1. Incorporation of Findings . The findings above are true and correct, and incorporated herein as if restated in their entirety.
2. Environment Review. Adoption of this O rdinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code section 21000, and following) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that it will have a significant effect on the environment (CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3)). Adoption of this Ordinance is further exempt from CEQA as it includes regulations for water use on existing properties to protect water resources, and consists of regulations and restrictions on certain water use -related activities to ensure the maintenance, restoration, or enhancement of a natural resource. (CEQA Guidelines sections 15301 (Existing Facilities), 15305 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations), 15307 (Actions for Protection of Natural Resources) and 15308 (Actions for Protection of Environment).) In addition, there are no unusual circumstances under CEQA Guidelines, section 15300.2(c) that would preclude the use of these exemptions.
3. Amendment and Restatement. BMC Title 8, Chapter 2, Article 3, is amended and restated in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit A.
4. Effective Date. In accordance with California Water Code section 376, this Ordinance is effective immediately upon adoption, and the City Clerk must certify to the 674
ATTACHMENT 1
A1-3
passage of this O rdinance and publish a summary of this Ordinance in a newspaper of general circulation within 10 days after its adoption.
5. Severability. If any provision of this O rdinance or its application is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions, sections, or applications of the Ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end each phrase, section, sentence, or word is declared to be severable.
6. Implementation. The City Manager, City Clerk, or their designee, is authorized to execute any action necessary to codify this Ordinance into the Burbank Municipal Code, including any modifications or nonsubstantive changes consistent with this approval, subject to the review and approval by the City Attorney.

A. Policy. It is desirable and in the general welfare of the City that the water resources available to the City be put to maximum beneficial use to the extent possible, and that waste or unreasonable use be prevented, and that conservation of such water resources be exercised in a reasonable and beneficial manner for the residents and businesses of Burbank.
B. Purpose. Climate change, weather whiplash, and aridification have been more frequent and intense. California is facing increasingly variable weather patterns in both intensity and frequency, from record dry periods to intense storms. The City is adapting to climate change by strengthening our water resiliency and sustainability to prepare for increased uncertainty in both short and long-term weather patterns. This article provides guidance to use water wisely and sustainably to reduce wasteful water use. Water conservation is one of the tools that may be used to adapt to climate change and mitigate the impact of water supply shortages. This article provides water use best practices to reduce water consumption. Additionally, this article empowers the General Manager of Burbank Water and Power to establish incremental water use reduction targets and provide voluntary water conservation recommendations, as needed, based on prevailing conditions.

BACKGROUND
2022 CVRA Demand
On August 23, 2022, the City received notice of a potential violation of the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA) on behalf of a Latino voter (Plaintiff) in the City of Burbank. (Elec. Code §§14027- 14032.) On January 24, 2023, Council adopted a Resolution of Intent to Initiate a Transition to District Elections and authorized staff to retain National 1 There are two versions of this Resolution to accommodate Council’s choice in assigning sequencing.
CITY ATTORNEY’S
OFFICE
Public Hearing
Item #2
683
2 Demographics Corporation (NDC), proven expert demographers serving local governments in California in successful districting, to guide the process.
In consultation with NDC, staff developed a robust timeline of workshops and public hearings for the districting process. Also directed by Council, staff and a communications partner delivered substantial and wide-reaching outreach to the community regarding the process and opportunities to engage.
Council held two pre- map public hearings on March 14, 2023, and April 11, 2023, with three community forums on March 30, April 6, and April 8. Prior to the initial June 2nd deadline, 26 draft maps were submitted along with 14 submissions in a “Draw Your Neighborhood” tool. On June 14, 2023, Council held its first public hearing to consider maps submitted by the June 2 deadline. At that hearing, Council considered the maps submitted and provided direction to staff and the demographer on specific focus maps.
At Council’s direction, the City hosted five additional community forums on June 15, 22 (one virtual and one live), 24 and 29 to allow constituents multiple opportunities to discuss and debate Council’s five “focus” maps and other direction provided at the June 14 hearing. The City received thirteen additional maps and one more “Draw Your Neighborhood” submission by the second July 7 deadline.
Council held a fourth public hearing July 18, 2023 at which it considered the additional submissions. At that hearing, Council directed the demographer to create two variations of Map 130. The demographer created four variations, two more than Council requested to allow for discussion of the potential consequences of Council’s directions. Each variation included a proposed sequencing in which the districts depicted in the map would be up for election, either in the presidential election year or in the gubernatorial election year. Map 130 and its variations with corresponding sequencing proposals were posted on Burbank’s redistricting website on July 28, 2023. (Additional information on the districting process, community forums, public hearings, and more is available on the City’s districting website at https://burbankcouncildistricting.squarespace.com/.)
August 23, 2023 Public Hearing And Consideration of Map 130 Council considered Map 130 and its variants at a public hearing on August 23, 2023 .
Council did not assign a final sequencing of elections in the districts of Map 130 or of any of its variations. Rather, Council directed staff to return for future discussion following the outcome of the California Supreme Court decision in the Pico Neighborhood Ass’n v. City of Santa Monica case. On August 24, 2023 the Court issued its opinion.
Considering the Supreme Court’s expansive discussion of alternative electoral systems as remedial options in a CVRA case, on October 3, 2023, the City Council unanimously declined to adopt a districting ordinance and directed staff to evaluate the availability and 684
3 impact of cumulative voting within the City’s existing at -large election system. A unanimous motion gave the following instructions to staff:
a. Contact the Los Angeles County Clerk regarding the feasibility of cumulative voting for residents and return with a first-step report on cumulative voting that addresses any expected impact on voter representation in Burbank. b. Direct the Charter Review Committee to consider the size and composition of the City Council, consider various iterations of districts, the possibility of a separately elected Mayor, and a re-districting process. c. Invite the prospective plaintiff who sent the City the August 23, 2022 notice of a potential violation of the CVRA to participate in the future discussion to ensure any potential outcome address the concerns posed by the initial notice.
Before staff could execute the direction, the plaintiff filed litigation.
2023 CVRA Lawsuit & Settlement
Plaintiff filed a lawsuit against the City on October 19, 2023, alleging two causes of action, for violation of the CVRA and for violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the California Constitution. The cause of action for violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the California Constitution was subsequently dismissed with prejudice.
On February 23, 2026, the City participated in court -ordered pretrial mediation, resulting in a settlement of the CVRA lawsuit. Relative to the actions that are the subject of this report, the terms of the agreement include:
1. Place a charter amendment measure on the November 2026 ballot to permit the Council or the voters to determine by ordinance the method of election of council members. (Council will consider such resolution July 21, 2026.)
2. Place an ordinance to enact Map 130 from the 2023 districting process on the November 2026 ballot. Map 130 is depicted in Attachment 1 to this report.
3. Council to decide sequencing of elections for Map 130 districts.
4. Provide that if voters approve both the charter amendment measure and the ordinance for district elections using Map 130, district elections will be held for City Council members in 2028 and 2030. Thereafter, Council or the voters have the authority to change the method of election to any legally permissible system.
5. Relieve City of further obligations under the settlement if the voters reject either measure, and bars this plaintiff from suing Burbank again under the CVRA.
685
4 DISCUSSION – PUBLIC HEARING & SEQUENCING OF ELECTIONS IN MAP 130 Settlement Requirements Regarding Sequencing
On July 21, 2026, Council will consider resolutions placing the measures in #1 and #2, above, on the November 2026 ballot for voter approval or rejection. Voters must approve both the Charter amendments and the Ordinance adopting Map 130 for district elections to become the system for Burbank Council member elections in 2028 and 2030.
The CVRA settlement requires the Ordinance for by-district elections with Map 130 (Item #2, above) to include a sequence in which the districts will appear on the ballot when the Ordinance is submitted to voters. Sequencing is at Council’s discretion. This agenda item permits Council to assign a sequence of elections in the districts of Map 130.
Considerations in Assigning the Sequence of Elections in Map 130 Districts Elections Code § 10010(b) specifies two criteria for “consideration” in setting sequencing.
Those criteria are giving 1) “consideration to the purposes of the California Voting Rights Act” and 2) “tak[ing] into account the preferences expressed by members of the districts.” There is no judicial guidance about either. CVRA advocates contend the first provision requires the district with the highest percent of citizens of voting age who are Latino be placed on the ballot in the presidential election cycle. However, a ssigning an election cycle based predominantl y on the race of voters in the district presents potential constitutional issues. In practice, cities transitioning to by -district elections have not followed a uniform approach. Some cities have considered the length of time since a resident of those neighborhoods has been elected to the City Council. The second criterion is similarly ambiguous but probably means the City Council should take into consideration the views of the public expressed at a public hearing.
In addition to the considerations required by section 10010(b), cities commonly consider:
a. Completion of the terms of incumbents elected at -large. For example, a council member whose term ends in 2030 serves out the full four -year term even if that member resides in the same district as an incumbent whose term ends in 2028 and that district is placed on the 2028 ballot.
b. Scheduling elections in a particular district based on the expiration of the term of office of the incumbent who resides in the district. For example, a district in which an incumbent resides with a term ending in 2028 could be on the ballot in 2028. A district in which two incumbents reside with respective terms ending in 202 8 and in 2030 could be placed on the ballot in 2028 or 2030. If in 2030, the incumbent with a term ending in 2028 would be out of office after the 202 8 elections but could run again in 2030 for the district seat in which he or she resides . If the district is placed on the ballot in 2028, the incumbent with a term ending in 2030 would serve out the term of office but could also run in 2028 and resign an at-large spot if elected to the district. c. Scheduling elections in a district in which no current incumbent resides in the earlier election cycle consistent with maintaining the appropriate number of council 686
5 members. For example, if two seats are up for election and a district has two incumbents with terms ending in 2028 and that district is assigned an election cycle starting with 2028, and there are also two districts that do not have a resident incumbent, only one of the latter would be placed on the ballot in 2028.
d. Some cities have required all incumbents to run in the first by-district elections and adopted a method to assign short and long terms to maintain staggered terms of office thereafter.
Examples of Sequencing
The following schematics demonstrate the impact of alternative sequencing in Map 130.
Again, sequencing is at the discretion of the City Council , it is not bound by proposed sequencing published with draft Map 130 in 2023.
In the schematics below, the name & number in parentheses = Council member residing in district and year term ends. X = district up for election in year indicated at left. In sum, Council Member Anthony’s and Council Member Rizzotti’s terms end in 2028. They reside respectively in District 3 and District 4 in Map 130. Council Member Perez and Mayor Takahashi have terms ending in 2030 2. Both reside in District 4. Vice Mayor Mullins’s term also ends in 2030; she resides in District 5.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This activity involves organizational and administrative activities of the government related to election procedures and eligibility requirements, and such internal procedural and eligibility changes have no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. As such, this action is not a “project” subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 14 Cal. Code Regs § 15378.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
CONCLUSION
The Ordinance for by -district elections using Map 130 (Attachment 1) will include a section for specifying the sequence of elections in the map’s districts. Council should proceed as follows:
• Hold public hearing to hear public comment on sequencing. • Council discussion.
• Adopt a Resolution (Attachment 2a or 2b) specifying the sequence of elections and direct staff to add selected sequencing to the Ordinance for by -district elections using Map 130.

THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK FINDS:
A. On August 23, 2022, the City received a notice of a potential violation of the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA) from a potential plaintiff (Plain tiff) on behalf of a Latino voter in the City of Burbank. (Elec. Code §§14027-14032.)

E. On June 14, 2023, Council held its first public hearing to consider draft maps submitted by the June 2 deadline.
F. At Council’s direction, the City hosted five additional community forums on June 15, 22 (one virtual and one live), 24 and 29 to allow constituents multiple opportunities to discuss and debate five “focus” maps selected by Council.

693
ATTACHMENT 2A
2 H. Council held a fourth public hearing July 18 at which it considered the additional submissions. At that hearing, Council directed NDC to create variations of draft Map 130.
I. Map 130 and the four variations created by NDC each included a proposed sequencing in which the districts depicted in the map would be up for election either in the presidential or in the gubernatorial election year.
J. Map 130 and its variations with corresponding sequencing proposals were posted on Burbank’s redistricting website on July 28, 2023.
K. Council considered Map 130 and its variants at a public hearing August 23 but did not assign final sequencing of elections in the districts of Map 130 or any of its variations.
L. Rather, Council directed staff to return for future discussion following the outcome of the California Supreme Court decision in the Pico Neighborhood Ass’n v. City of Santa Monica case.
M. On August 24, 2023 the California Supreme Court issued its opinion in Pico Neighborhood Ass’n v. City of Santa Monica (2023) 15 Cal.5th 292.
N. Considering the Supreme Court’s expansive discussion of alternative electoral systems as remedial options in a CVRA case, on October 3, 2023, the Burbank City Council unanimously declined to adopt a districting ordinance and directed staff to evaluate the availability and impact of cumulative voting within the City’s existing at-large election system.
O. On October 3, 2023, by unanimous motion, Council directed staff to:
a. Contact the Los Angeles County Clerk regarding the feasibility of cumulative voting for residents and return with a first-step report on cumulative voting that addresses any expected impact on voter representation in Burbank. b. Direct the Charter Review Committee to consider the size and composition of the City Council, consider various iterations of districts, the possibility of a separately elected Mayor, and a re-districting process. c.

3 P. On October 19, 2023 , the Plaintiff filed a lawsuit against the City alleging two causes of action, for violation of the CVRA and for violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the California Constitution (the second was subsequently dismissed with prejudice).
Q. On February 23, 2026, the City participated in court -ordered pretrial mediation which resulted in a settlement of the CVRA lawsuit.
R. The settlement agreement included a provision for placing an Ordinance for enactment of Map 130 from the 2023 districting process on the November 2026 ballot including a sequencing of the elections in the districts depicted in Map 130.
S. The settlement agreement reserved to Council full discretion to decide the sequencing of elections in the districts depicted in Map 130.
T. On June 30, 2026, the Council held a public hearing on sequencing of elections in the districts depicted in Map 130.
U. Elections Code § 10010(b) specifies two criteria for “consideration” in setting sequencing: (1) giving “consideration to the purposes of the California Voting Rights Act” and (2) “tak[ing] into account the preferences expressed by members of the districts.”
V. Council considered the criteria set forth in Elections Code § 10010(b).
W. The proposed Ordinance involves organizational and administrative activities of the government related to election procedures and eligibility requirements, and such internal procedural and eligibility changes have no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. As such, this action is not a “project” subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 14 Cal. Code Regs § 15378.
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK RESOLVES:
1. The above recitals are true and correct.
2. The sequence of elections in the districts depicted in Map 130 shall be the following:

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Kimberley Clark, City Clerk
BY: Maria Sanchez, Administrative Analyst I
SUBJECT: Consideration of the Burbank Cultural Arts Commission Recommendation to Excuse the Absences of Commissioner
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the recommendation of the Burbank Cultural Arts Commission (Commission) to excuse the absences of Commissioner Jackie Brenneman.
BACKGROUND
Burbank Municipal Code (BMC) § 2-1-403 requires review of the attendance record of a member who is absent for three meetings during a 12- month period. The Board, Commission, or Committee (BCC) on which they serve shall consider the reasons for the absences, review them with the member, and make a recommendation whether the absences should be excused or unexcused by the City Council. Council shall take appropriate action including, but not limited to, excusing the absences, removing the member, or other such action as Council deems appropriate. Should the Council excuse the member’s accrued absences, and the member misses an additional meeting within the following 12- month absence reporting period, the City Clerk may proceed with the member’s automatic removal by City staff.
DISCUSSION
Commissioner Jackie Brenneman was originally appointed to the Commission by Council on July 13, 2021, and was reappointed on July 15, 2025 to serve a term ending on July 31, 2029 . Commissioner Brenneman missed the following three regularly scheduled meetings:

The reasons for Commissioner Brenneman’s absences and rationale for the Commission’s decision are outlined in the recommendation letter from Vice Chair Eric Conner (Attachment 1).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This activity has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and, as such, is not a “project” subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 14 Cal. Code Regs § 15378.
FISCAL IMPACT

CONCLUSION
The Burbank Cultural Arts Commission recommends that Council excuse Commissioner Jackie Brenneman’s absences.

Attachment 1 – Recommendation Letter from Vice Chair Eric Conner 705
Attachment 1
June 15, 2026
RE: Burbank Cultural Arts Commission Member Brenneman Attendance
Dear Honorable Mayor Takahashi, Vice Mayor Mullins, and City Council Members, Between August 2025 and June 2026, Burbank Cultural Arts Commission (BCAC) Member Jackie Brenneman was absent from three regularly scheduled meetings:
September 11, 2025, February 12, 2026, and May 14, 2026. Pursuant to Burbank Municipal Code Section 2 -1-403, when a member is absent from three regularly scheduled meetings, the member’s attendance record must be reviewed by the Board, Commission, or Committee.
At the June 11, 2026, BCAC meeting, the Commission had agendized and discussed Commissioner Brenneman’s attendance record. Commissioner Brenneman addressed the Commission and explained that her absences were the result of professional obligations related to arts and entertainment industry advocacy . She noted that these commitments involved participation in significant industry events and activities that support and promote the arts.
Following discussion, the Commission voted to recommend that the City Council excuse Commissioner Brenneman’s absences. The motion was approved by a vote of 5 -0, with two abstentions. Commissioner Monica Pa Moye was absent from the meeting, and Commissioner Brenneman did not participate in the vote.
During the discussion, the Commission considered several factors in reaching its recommendation:
1. Commissioner Brenneman's absences were attributable to professional responsibilities directly related to arts advocacy and the entertainment industry.
2. Since Commissioner Brenneman’s re-appointment, attendance provisions governing boards, commissions, and committees have been modified. Initially, the rule was being absent for three consecutive meetings or failing to meet the 75% of the regularly scheduled BCAC meetings during a 12 -month period. Since then, the rule now states that three absences during a 12-month period could result in a vote for removal.
3. The Commission acknowledged the challenges that a weekday morning meeting schedules can present for working professionals who serve in a volunteer capacity.
4. Commissioner Brenneman's absences were attributable to professional responsibilities directly related to arts and film advocacy. As Chief Executive Officer of the Independent Film & Television Alliance and the American Film Market, she 706
Attachment 1
was required to travel internationally to attend industry events, including the film markets in Cannes and Berlin. The Commission recognized that these professional obligations support the arts and entertainment industries and align with the expertise and perspective she brings to the Commission. The Commission also noted that, had remote participation been permitted for Commission members, Commissioner Brenneman may have been able to participate in at least one of the meetings from which she was absent.
The Commission recognizes the importance of regular attendance and active participation by all appointed members. However, after considering the circumstances surrounding Commissioner Brenneman's absences and her ongoing contributions to the arts community and the Commission, the BCAC respectfully recommends that the City Council excuse the absences referenced above.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Respectfully submitted,
Eric Conner
Vice-Chair, Burbank Cultural Arts Commission

1 STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 30, 2026
TO: Justin Hess, City Manager
FROM: Betsy McClinton, Management Services Director
VIA: Julie Chaidez, Human Resources Manager
BY: Joy Casucci, Senior Administrative Analyst
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving a Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Burbank and the Burbank City Employees’ Association from July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027; and Adoption of a Resolution Approving a Citywide Salary Schedule.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK
APPROVING A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU) WITH THE CITY OF BURBANK AND THE BURBANK CITY EMPLOYEES’ ASSOCIATION (BCEA) FROM JULY 1, 2026 – JUNE 30, 2027.
2. Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK APPROVING A CITYWIDE SALARY SCHEDULE.
BACKGROUND
The BCEA represents approximately 821 miscellaneous employees citywide who perform a wide variety of duties and responsibilities. The most recent contract between the City and the BCEA was effective July 1, 202 4, through June 30, 202 6. Negotiations for a successor agreement began in October 2025. Since that time, the City and the BCEA have held 17 negotiation meetings and have reached a tentative agreement covering the period of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027.
Because the tentative agreement includes changes to employee salaries, the California
MANAGEMENT
SERVICES
Reports to Council
Item #2
Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) requires the City, as a public agency, to 708
2 adopt a publicly available salary schedule ( approved by Council at a public meeting) in accordance with Government Code § 20636 and California Code of Regulations § 570.5.
This requirement applies to special compensation and salary changes used by CalPERS to determine pensionable compensation and earnable compensation for BCEA employees.
DISCUSSION
The tentative agreement reached between t he City and the BCEA align s with the Council’s adopted financial policy of balancing fiscal responsibility with the City’s goal to remain competitive in the labor market i n order to recruit and retain a well -qualified workforce to provide exceptional services . Although the City enters the new fiscal year with slower projected revenue growth and increased economic uncertainty compared to prior years, the City Council’s longstanding commitment to fiscal discipline, including maintaining strong reserves and setting aside funds for future liabilities , has positioned the City to better manage financial challenges while continuing to provide competitive compensation in a fiscally responsibl e manner. The agreement includes adjustments to compensation and benefits, as outlined in the Summary of Contract Changes (Attachment 4). Notable modifications include adjustments in salary and the City’s contribution toward employees’ medical premiums.
Salary Adjustments
Burbank’s relevant labor market includes comparable classifications in similar Southern California municipalities. A salary survey was conducted as part of negotiations to evaluate how BCEA salaries compare to relevant market rates. Survey results showed that the majority of BCEA classifications currently fall below the market average. As of July 202 6, BCEA classifications are, on average, 5.66% below the market average, reflecting substantial increases provided by other agencies over the last year to remain competitive in a challenging labor market.
To bring BCEA salaries in line with the Council’s financial policy of balancing fiscal responsibility while staying competitive to recruit and retain a well -qualified workforce, staff recommends a salary increase of 2% for most BCEA classifications and its incumbent employees , except for two certain classifications to address salary compaction, effective June 21, 2026 (the beginning of the pay period containing July 1, 2026). This increase maintains the City’s fiscal responsibility while reducing the gap between BCEA and the relevant labor market.
The City recognizes the value each employee brings to the City’s reputation for delivering high-quality public services and maintaining operational effectiveness. Despite current economic uncertainty, the proposed salary increase reflects the City’s commitment to retaining and recruiting qualified employees, maintaining competitive compensation, and supporting continued service delivery to the community. All salary changes effective June 709
3 21, 2026, including exceptions for certain classifications, are listed in Exhibit N of the BCEA MOU (Attachment 3).
Medical Contribution
The City of Burbank is among other public agencies in Southern California who contract with PERS to provide medical insurance to its employees. To address anticipated average increases in PERS premiums based on historical trends, the Council previously approved 5% annual increases to the City’s monthly maximum medical contributions for other City employee groups, effective December 1, 202 6. To maintain equity and alignment with those adjustments, staff recommends increasing the City’s monthly maximum medical contributions for BCEA employees by 5% effective December 1, 2026, as shown in Table 1, Column 1.
Table 1: BCEA Medical Contributions
Finally, the proposed BCEA MOU contains revisions and clean-up language, as detailed in the Redline MOU (Attachment 3). Notably, the revision to the language in Article VII, Section B – Leave-Death in Family expands the eligible “family member” applicable to this provision.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This activity has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and as such, is not a “project” subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 14 Cal. Code Regs § 15378.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost of the compensation and benefit changes associated with the proposed BCEA MOU for the one-year contract period is $1,949,607 ($1,236,794 General Fund, $712,813 Non-General Fund). The ongoing fiscal impact of the changes associated with the proposed BCEA MOU is $1,949,607 ($1,236,794 General Fund, $712,813 Non- General Fund) in FY 202 6-27, which will be incorporated into the Five- Year Financial Forecast.
CONCLUSION
Column 1
Effective 12/01/2025
1 Party From $767 to $805
2 Party From $1,532 to $1,609
Family From $$1,990 to $2,089
The proposed MOU between the City of Burbank and the BCEA reflects a collaborative 710
4 effort to align employee compensation and benefits with the Council’s adopted financial policies, address current market conditions, and support the City’s goals for recruitment and retention of a well-qualified workforce. Staff recommends that the Council adopt the resolutions to approve the new BCEA MOU and the updated citywide salary schedule.
