Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Wednesday, May 21, 2025, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 19. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: William Jefferson, Director of Finance FIN Administration Subject: CONSIDER APPROVING A NEW STANDARD MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE NO. 2.35, RELATEDTO CITY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR GRANT AWARDS I. SUMMARY
This item is being submitted to City Council for approval of the new Standard Management Procedure (SMP) No.

2.35, which outlines the City’s policies and procedures regarding grant awards. The SMP establishes clear guidelines for the management, oversight, and compliance of Federal, State, and Local grant funding. It assigns responsibilities to both initiating departments and the Finance Department, outlines protocols for grant application and acceptance, and sets forth requirements for budget management, procurement, sub-awards, financial reporting, and record keeping. The procedure is designed to ensure regulatory compliance, accurate financial tracking, and proper documentation to support audits and future funding opportunities.

II. RECOMMENDATION
ADOPT the SMP No. 2.35 (attached as Exhibit No. 1).

III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE any other action the City Council deems appropriate that is consistent with the requirements of the law.

IV. BACKGROUND
The City has actively pursued and secured grant funding from federal, state, and local agencies to support public services and infrastructure projects. As part of the grant application and award acceptance process, the City is required to submit its established policies and procedures governing grant awards to ensure transparency and accountability.

The proposed Standard Management Procedure (SMP) No. 2.35 formalizes the City’s best practices for managing grant funding and ensures compliance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations. This SMP outlines comprehensive guidelines for the oversight, budgeting, procurement, financial reporting, and audit preparation related to grant-funded programs. It also clearly defines the roles and responsibilities of City departments, including requirements for pre-award approvals, kickoff meetings, financial documentation, and subrecipient monitoring. By implementing this policy, the City aims to streamline its internal processes, ensure effective coordination among departments, and maintain eligibility for future funding opportunities.

In recent years, the City has faced the risk of losing grant funding due to lapses in required reporting and compliance. The purpose of this Standard Management Procedure (SMP) is to directly address these concerns by formalizing consistent reporting practices, ensuring timely submissions, and maintaining compliance with grant requirements. By implementing this SMP, the City aims to safeguard current and future funding opportunities and demonstrate accountability to granting agencies.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
There would be no direct fiscal impact associated with this staff report as it relates only to the newly SMP proposal.

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Wednesday, May 21, 2025, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 20. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Sunny Soltani, City Attorney, Aleshire & Wynder, LLP CAO Legal Subject: CONSIDER RESOLUTION NO. 25-068 AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 15-027 AND RESCINDING,REPLACING, AND SUPERSEDING RESOLUTION NO. 22-237, APPROVING ADJUSTMENTS TO THESALARIES AND BENEFITS FOR THE CITY CLERK AND THE CITY TREASURER (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
The City Council recently adopted Ordinance No. 25-2508 amending Section 2301 (Councilmanic Salaries) of Article II (Administration) of the Carson Municipal Code in order to adjust the total wages/compensation and total retirement and health contributions of the Mayor and City Council. Specifically, the Ordinance allowed for Mayor and City Council members' salaries to be increased by 10% (up to 5% for each year of eligible adjustment).  At the time of the approval, the City Council directed staff to bring forward a similar adjustment for the elected offices of the City Clerk and City Treasurer.

As such, staff is seeking approval of adjustments to salaries of the City Clerk and City Treasurer via the attached Resolution No. 25-068 (Exhibit 1).

II. RECOMMENDATION
WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Resolution No. 25-068, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 15-027 AND RESCINDING, REPLACING, AND SUPERSEDING RESOLUTION NO. 22-237, APPROVING ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SALARIES AND BENEFITS FOR THE CITY CLERK AND THE CITY TREASURER”
III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action that City Council deems appropriate.

IV. BACKGROUND
On May 6, 2025 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 25-2508 amending Section 2301 (Councilmanic Salaries) of Article II (Administration) of the Carson Municipal Code in order to adjust the total wages/compensation and total retirement and health contributions of the Mayor and City Council. Specifically, the Ordinance allowed for Mayor and City Council members' salaries to be increased by 10% (up to 5% for each year of eligible adjustment).

According to Section 304 of the City Charter and Carson Municipal Code Section 2301, any future adjustments to the Mayor and City Council members' salaries must be in accordance with Government Code Section 36516.

Government Code Section 36516, as amended by Senate Bill 329, provides for the salary of council members to be increased by “the greater of either 5% for each calendar year from the operative date of the last adjustment of the salary in effect when the ordinance or amendment is enacted, or an amount equal to inflation since January 1, 2024, based upon the California Consumer Price Index, which shall not exceed 10% for each calendar year.”

At the time of the approval, the City Council directed staff to bring forward a similar adjustment for the elected offices of the City Clerk and City Treasurer.

It should be noted that while the Mayor and City Council members' salaries are established by Ordinance, the City Clerk and City Treasurer salaries and benefits are established by Resolution.  As such, on February 17, 2017 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 15-027 to establish the salaries and benefits of the City Clerk and City Treasurer.

At that time, the salaries were awarded a 6% increase beyond the previously established wages, in exchange for the elimination all Employer Paid Member Contributions (EPMC), also known as CalPERS.

Subsequently, on November 15, 2022, City Council adopted Resolution No. 22-237, amending Resolution No. 15- 027 by adjusting the salary and health insurance premiums provided to the City Clerk and City Treasurer.  Notably, the salary for both officials was set at the "Low Income Limits" for a family of four (4) as set forth by the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development for the area including Los Angeles County.

Via the proposed Resolution No. 25-068, the City Council now desires to adjust the salary and benefits for the City Clerk and City Treasurer to coincide with any adjustments made to the Mayor and City Council members' salaries pursuant to Ordinance No. 25-2508.  In summary, the base salaries for both officials would remain to be set at the “Low Income Limits” for a family of four (4) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the area including Los Angeles County. However, the Resolution adds that the salaries may be eligible for increases consistent with similar salary adjustments afforded to and approved by the City Council.  Increases to the City Clerk and City Treasurer salaries shall be contingent upon comparable adjustments to the Mayor and City Council salaries as set forth by Ordinance No. 25-2508, or subsequent adopted ordinance.

During the May 6, 2025 meeting, City Council approved the maximum salary increase for the Mayor and City Council at 10% (5% for FY 2023-24, and 5% for FY 2024-25).  At the direction of City Council, staff is seeking approval of a 10% adjustment to salaries of the City Clerk and City Treasurer via the attached Resolution No. 25- 068 (Exhibit 1) to remain consistent with the recently adopted salary increases of the Mayor and City Council members.

The proposed Resolution No. 25-068 would amend Resolution No, 15-027, and rescind and replace Resolution No. 22-237; if approved.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
There is sufficient funding in the current Fiscal Year 2024-2025 operating budget to absorb a prorated salary increases retro active to January 1, 2025. The salary increases for both positions will be included in the upcoming Fiscal Year 2025-2026 budget proposal for adoption.

Staff is now asking City Council to approve Amendment No. 1 to exercise the City’s first optional extension for the period of July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, at the per-negotiated cost of $54,636.

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. APPROVE Amendment No. 1 to the Contract Services Agreement with Alliant Insurance Services, Inc., to exercise the first optional one-year extension at a cost of $54,636 (Exhibit No. 2; "Amendment No. 1").

2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 1 following approval as to form by the City Attorney.

III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate.

IV. BACKGROUND
To protect the assets of the City from accidental loss, the City purchases various lines of insurance including Excess Liability, Auto Liability, Cyber Liability, Fiduciary Liability, Property, Crime and Excess Workers’ Compensation. Since 2017, Alliant has served as the City’s insurance broker of record.  It is well positioned to provide these services because Alliant: 1) provides access to insurance markets only available to large global brokers, thereby ensuring that the City has broad coverage terms at competitive prices; 2) Specializes in public entity insurance and pools; and 3) Provides services such as claim advocacy, complementing the City's in-house resources. Alliant’s dedicated Public Entity Division serves over 80% of California Cities and has a 98% client retention rate.

Moreover, Alliant is the exclusive broker for PRISM, the City’s Excess Liability, Excess Workers Compensation and Cyber Liability carrier. If the City were to terminate its relationship with Alliant, all PRISM policies would then be canceled and replacement policies would have to be negotiated and placed with other carriers. Staff would need to use another broker to market and place these key coverages. The timing for such a change is not ideal due to hard market conditions and the City’s claims experience. Staff has been advised, for example, that the Cyber Liability premium may double or worse if City were to switch carriers. Excess liability and workers compensation policies will be affected similarly. Another key consideration is the importance of maintaining continuity of coverage due to significant on-going claims activity.

The first three-year term of the 2022 contract will end on June 30, 2025.  Staff is now asking City Council to approve Amendment No. 1 to exercise the first of two optional one-year extensions for the period of July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, at a cost of $54,636.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of exercising Amendment No. 1 to the Alliant Contract is included in the proposed FY 25-26 budgetin account: 101-50-660-172-6004.

GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
SECTION 1. PURPOSE
The purpose of the Grievance Procedure is to establish channels of communication between Unit members, supervisors, and management. The City encourages any Unit member having a grievance related to his or her working conditions to discuss the matter informally with his or her immediate supervisor without undue delay in order to resolve the issue. The purpose of these preliminary discussions is to settle disagreements fairly, as quickly as possible, and to eliminate problems before they evolve to grievances.

SECTION 2. DEFINITION:

A grievance is a timely written complaint by one or more Unit members concerning the application or interpretation of the provisions of this MOU affecting Unit members' wages, hours, and working conditions.

SECTION 3. GRIEVANCE STEPS:

The grievance procedure shall be used to resolve a Unit member's complaints as defined in Section 2 above. The grievance procedure shall consist of the following "Steps." Step 1. A Unit member shall have the right to present a grievance, in writing, within five (5) working days of the action or incident causing the grievance. Such grievance shall be provided to the immediate supervisor of the Unit member. All grievances shall st ate the violation of this MOU, how it affects the Unit member’s wages, hours, working conditions or job security, and the Unit member’s requested remedy. Within ten (10) working days of receipt of the grievance, the immediate supervisor shall render a written decision responding to the grievance and return the completed grievance form to the Unit member.

Failure of the immediate supervisor to render a written response on the grievance within ten (10) working days of receipt of the grievance shall const itute a constructive denial of the grievance. If denied, and the Unit member wishes to move the grievance to the next Step in the grievance process, then the Unit member shall move the grievance to the next immediate supervisor within the chain of command, in accordance with Section 3, Step 2 of this Article. The grievance shall be considered resolved and no further review of the subject matter of the grievance shall be permitted under this Article when the Unit member

AME MOU 2024-2027

ARTICLE IX
GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE. 32
does not seek further review of the grievance within five (5) working days after response to or constructive denial of the grievance by the immediate supervisor.

Step 2. If the immediate supervisor’s response does not satisfactorily resolve the complaint, and/or the grievance is denied, then the Unit member and/or the Unit member’s designated representative may submit the grievance to the next immediate supervisor within the chain of command, within five (5) working days of the immediate supervisor’s actual or constructive decision on the grievance. The next immediate supervisor shall contact and discuss the grievance with the Unit member and/or the Unit member’s de signated representative and shall discuss the grievance with the Unit member’s immediate supervisor. Within ten (10) working days after receipt of the grievance, the next immediate supervisor shall render a written response to the grievance and the complet ed grievance form shall be returned to the Unit member. Failure of the next immediate supervisor to render a written response on the grievance within ten (10) working days of receipt of the grievance shall constitute a constructive denial of the grievance. If the next immediate supervisor’s response does not satisfactorily resolve the complaint, the Unit member and/or Unit member’s designated representative may present the grievance to the next succeeding supervisor within the chain of command, within five (5) working days of the next immediate supervisor’s response to or constructive denial of the grievance. The grievance shall be considered resolved and no further review of the subject matter of the grievance shall be permitted under this Article when the Unit member does not seek further review of the grievance within five (5) working days after response to or constructive denial of the grievance by the next immediate supervisor. Prior to submitting any grievance to the Director in accordance with Step 3, all Unit members are required to submit their grievance to each next immediate supervisor within the chain of command, and in order of the chain of command, in accordance with the timing requirements and procedures of this Step 2.

Step 3. If the grievance is not satisfactorily resolved through presentation of the complaint to the Unit member’s supervisors pursuant to Step 2, and/or the grievance is denied, the Unit member and/or the Unit member’s designated representative may thereafter submit the grievance to the Director of his/her work group, within five (5) working days of the last supervisor’s response or constructive denial of the grievance. The Director shall contact and discuss the grievance with the Unit member and/or the Unit member’s designated representative, and shall discuss the grievance with the Unit member’s immediate supervisor and others within the Unit member’s chain of command. Within ten (10) working days after receipt of the grievance, the Director shall render a written decision on the grievance and the completed grievance form shall be returned to the Unit member.

Failure of the Director to render a written decision on the grievance within ten (10) working days constitutes a constructive denial of the grievance . The grievance shall be considered resolved and no further review of the subject matter of the grievance shall be permitted under this Article when the Unit member does not seek further review of the grievance within five (5) working days after the receipt of the response to or constructive denial of the grievance by the Director.

Step 3a. Before moving a grievance to the City Manager’s step, a Unit member may request an advisory mediation session. The cost of mediation will be shared by the City and the

AME MOU 2024-2027

ARTICLE IX
GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE. 33
Union(s) on a 50/50 basis, with both parties bearing their own legal costs, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees.

Step 4. If the grievance is not satisfactorily resolved through presentation of the complaint to the Unit member’s Director pursuant to Step 3, or through advisory mediation pursuant to step 3a, and/or the grievance is denied, the Unit member and/or the Unit me mber’s designated representative may thereafter submit the grievance to a non -involved Director or the Human Resources Director in lieu of the City Manager. The hearing officer shall be mutually agreed upon by both parties. When the Unit member presents a grievance to a non-involved Director or the Human Resources Director in lieu of the City Manager, the selected person shall discuss the grievance with the Unit member and/or the Unit member’s designated representative. The selected person shall also discuss the grievance with the Unit member’s immediate supervisor and othe rs within the chain of command, up to and including the Director. Within ten (10) working days after receipt of the grievance, the selected person shall render a written decision on the grievance. Failure of the selected person to render a written response on the grievance within ten (10) working days of receipt of the grievance shall constitute a constructive denial of the grievance. The decision or constructive denial of the selected person shall resolve the grievance and no further review of the subject matter of the grievance shall be permitted within the City’s administrative process. Thereafter, the Unit member may consider the administrative procedures completed and sue for redress of the grievance.

SECTION 4. NON-DEPARTMENTAL GRIEVANCES:

Grievances resulting from decisions or actions outside the work group chain-of-command shall be initiated by the Unit member and/or Unit member’s representative with the Director of the work group from which the decisions or actions occurred, and will follow the procedures as detailed in Section 3 of this Article.

SECTION 5. EXTENSIONS OF TIME:

Extensions of any of the time limits on the presentation of, or responses to, a grievance as set forth in the grievance procedure may be mutually agreed to by the parties involved with the grievance, but must be evidenced in writing by both sides.

SECTION 6. REPRISALS:

IV. BACKGROUND
The City of Carson applied for the FY 24 JAG grant and on December 04, 2024, the City was awarded grant funds in the amount of $28,424.00. The JAG grant allows state and local governments to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based on their own local needs and conditions. The JAG grant replaced the previous Byrne Formula and Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) programs and does not require matching funds.

State and federal grant funds for public safety related activities have been awarded to the City of Carson since 1996, via the LLEBG and JAG grants, and the state Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund/Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Account (SLESF/SLESA). The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Local Solicitation program enhances public safety and bolsters law enforcement capabilities across various jurisdictions. Situated in Los Angeles County, the City of Carson faces unique challenges that require strategic, tailored solutions.

In recent years, the City has had a significant increase in safety concerns which include vandalism incidents, unauthorized facility access, and disruptive behaviors at events put on by the City which puts the community and staff safety at risk. Through the awarded grant funds, security enhancement equipment purchases will be made in order to provide staff with improved visibility during patrol and surveillance activities which will allow for quicker responses in emergency situations. Overall, obtaining the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant will fortify public safety and enhance the well-being of the community. Staff is asking the City Council to accept the FY 24 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program - Local Solicitation award in the amount of $28,424.00 and authorize the City Manager to execute the award conditions and any related grant documents.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
There is currently no fiscal impact, and there is no match requirement to accept the grant funding in the amount of$28,424.00.

The City of Carson is submitting a formal application for $28,424 through the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Local Solicitation. This program is essential for enhancing public safety and bolstering law enforcement capabilities across various jurisdictions. Situated in Los Angeles County, the City of Carson faces unique challenges that require strategic, tailored solutions.

In recent years, city officials have observed an alarming increase in safety concerns, including a 25% rise in vandalism incidents, unauthorized access to government facilities that poses security risks, and disruptive behaviors at public events that undermine the community’s sense of safety. These issues have impacted residents' quality of life and placed additional pressure on local law enforcement resources.

A key component of this funding will be the purchase of a security golf cart, specifically designed as a mobile safety unit to improve patrolling and surveillance of city grounds and facilities. This golf cart will enhance the visibility of security personnel and enable quick responses in emergencies. Its maneuverability in both urban and crowded pedestrian areas will allow officers to navigate the complex layout of city facilities efficiently, ensuring continuous oversight in high-traffic zones. This proactive strategy aims to deter potential threats by maintaining a visible security presence, thereby instilling confidence and safety among city staff, residents, and visitors alike.

In conclusion, the City of Carson's pursuit of $28,424 through the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant is a vital initiative aimed at fortifying public safety and enhancing community well-being. As the City of Carson grapples with escalating safety concerns—marked by increased vandalism, unauthorized access to government facilities, and disruptive behaviors—it is imperative to adopt innovative solutions tailored to these challenges.

Acting Assistant Attorney General
Office for Civil Rights Notice for All Recipients
The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) enforces federal civil rights laws and other provisions that prohibit discrimination by recipients of federal financial assistance from OJP, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW).

Several civil rights laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, require recipients of federal financial assistance (recipients) to give assurances that they will comply with those laws.  Taken together, these and other civil rights laws prohibit recipients from discriminating in the provision of services and employment because of race, color, national origin, religion, disability, and sex or from discriminating in the provision of services on the bases of age.

Some recipients of DOJ financial assistance have additional obligations to comply with other applicable nondiscrimination provisions like the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of religion in addition to race, color, national origin, and sex.  Recipients may also have related requirements regarding the development and implementation of equal employment opportunity programs.

Page: 2 of 23
OCR provides technical assistance, training, and other resources to help recipients comply with civil rights obligations.

Further, OCR administratively enforces civil rights laws and nondiscrimination provisions by investigating DOJ recipients that are the subject of discrimination complaints.  In addition, OCR conducts compliance reviews of DOJ recipients based on regulatory criteria.  These investigations and compliance reviews permit OCR to evaluate whether DOJ recipients are providing services to the public and engaging in employment practices in a nondiscriminatory manner.

For more information about OCR, your civil rights and nondiscrimination responsibilities, how to notify your employees or beneficiaries of their civil rights protections and responsibilities and how to file a complaint, as well as technical assistance, training, and other resources, please visit www.ojp.gov/program/civil-rights-office/outreach.  If you would like OCR to assist you in fulfilling your civil rights or nondiscrimination responsibilities, please contact us at askOCR@o jp.usdoj.govor www.ojp.gov/program/civil-rights-office/about#ocr-contacts.

Part 38 states that recipients may not use direct Federal financial assistance from the Department to support or engage in any explicitly religious activities except when consistent with the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment and any other applicable requirements. An organization receiving Federal financial assistance also may not, in providing services funded by the Department of Justice, or in their outreach activities related to such services, discriminate against a program beneficiary or prospective program beneficiary on the basis of religion, a religious belief, a refusal to hold a religious belief, or refusal to attend or participate in a religious practice.

Part 38 also sets out rules and requirements that pertain to recipient and subrecipient ("subgrantee") organizations that engage in or conduct explicitly religious activities, as well as rules and requirements that pertain to recipients and subrecipients that are faith-based or religious organizations. In addition, Part 38 states that a faith-based organization that participates a Department of Justice funded program retains its independence from the Government and may continue to carry out its mission consistent with religious freedom and conscience protections in Federal law.

Recipients and subrecipients that provide social services under this award must give written notice to beneficiaries and prospective beneficiaries prior to the provision of services (if practicable) which shall include language substantially similar to the language in 28 CFR Part 38, Appendix C, sections (1) through (4). A sample written notice may be found at https://www.ojp.gov/program/civil-rights-office/partnerships-faith-based-and-other-neighborhood-organizations.

In certain instances, a faith-based or religious organization may be able to take religion into account when making hiring decisions, provided it satisfies certain requirements. For more information, please see https://www.ojp.gov/ funding/explore/legaloverview2024/civilrightsrequirements.

Condition 4
Requirements of the award; remedies for non-compliance or for materially false statements The conditions of this award are material requirements of the award. Compliance with any assurances or certifications submitted by or on behalf of the recipient that relate to conduct during the period of performance also is a material requirement of this award.

Limited Exceptions. In certain special circumstances, the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") may determine that it will not enforce, or enforce only in part, one or more requirements otherwise applicable to the award. Any such exceptions regarding enforcement, including any such exceptions made during the period of performance, are (or will be during the period of performance) set out through the Office of Justice Programs ("OJP") webpage entitled "Legal Notices:

Special circumstances as to particular award conditions" (ojp.gov/funding/Explore/LegalNotices-AwardReqts.htm), and incorporated by reference into the award.

By signing and accepting this award on behalf of the recipient, the authorized recipient official accepts all material requirements of the award, and specifically adopts, as if personally executed by the authorized recipient official, all assurances or certifications submitted by or on behalf of the recipient that relate to conduct during the period of performance.

Failure to comply with one or more award requirements -- whether a condition set out in full below, a condition incorporated by reference below, or an assurance or certification related to conduct during the award period -- may result in OJP taking appropriate action with respect to the recipient and the award. Among other things, the OJP may withhold award funds, disallow costs, or suspend or terminate the award. DOJ, including OJP, also may take other legal action as appropriate.

Any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement to the federal government related to this award (or concealment or omission of a material fact) may be the subject of criminal prosecution (including under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or 1621, and/or 34 U.S.C. 10271-10273), and also may lead to imposition of civil penalties and administrative remedies for false claims or otherwise (including under 31 U.S.C. 3729-3730 and 3801-3812).

Should any provision of a requirement of this award be held to be invalid or unenforceable by its terms, that provision shall first be applied with a limited construction so as to give it the maximum effect permitted by law. Should it be held, instead, that the provision is utterly invalid or -unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed severable from this award.

2. If the recipient does or is authorized under this award to make subawards ("subgrants"), procurement contracts, or both--
a. it represents that--
(1) it has determined that no other entity that the recipient's application proposes may or will receive award funds (whether through a subaward ("subgrant"), procurement contract, or subcontract under a procurement contract) either requires or has required internal confidentiality agreements or statements from employees or contractors that currently prohibit or otherwise currently restrict (or purport to prohibit or restrict) employees or contractors from reporting waste, fraud, or abuse as described above; and

Condition 60
Extreme risk protection programs funded by JAG must include, at a minimum: pre-deprivation and post-deprivation due process rights that prevent any violation or infringement of the Constitution of the United States, including but not limited to the Bill of Rights, and the substantive or procedural due process rights guaranteed under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, as applied to the States, and as interpreted by State courts and United States courts (including the Supreme Court of the United States).

EXHIBIT NO. 2
CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Wednesday, May 21, 2025, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 25. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nora A. Garcia , Director of Public Safety & Emergency Management  Subject: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO THE CLIMATEC, LLC SERVICESAGREEMENT (24-109) TO INCREASE CONTRACT SUM FOR ADDITIONAL WORK FOR THE CITY HALLBASEMENT RENOVATION PROJECT (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
On May 27, 2022, City and West Coast Fire & Integration, Inc. (Contractor) entered into a contract to provide comprehensive fire alarm and intrusion alarm system monitoring services at a cost not to exceed $328,820.56 (Exhibit No. 3).

The parties have since amended the Agreement multiples times and staff is now requesting City Council to approve Amendment No. 3 (Exhibit No. 1) to increase the contract sum by a not to exceed amount of $60,000.00 for additional work needed as part of the City Hall Basement renovation project. Approval of Amendment No. 3 will increase the contract sum from $378,985.23 to $438,985.23.

II. RECOMMENDATION
Take the following actions:

1. APPROVE Amendment No. 3 to the agreement with Climatec, LLC (Exhibit No. 1; the "Amendment") for an increase to the contract sum from $378,985.23 to $438,985.23.

2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 3, following approval as to form by the City Attorney.

III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE any other action the City Council deems appropriate that is consistent with the requirement of law.

IV. BACKGROUND
City Council approved a five-year contract to the lowest responsive and qualified bidder West Coast Fire & Integration, Inc., to provide citywide comprehensive fire and intrusion alarm system monitoring and maintenance services at City Hall, Community Center, Corporate Yard, and City Parks, at a cost not to exceed $328,820.56.

On June 14, 2023, staff was informed that the new HVAC units at City Hall required LFS system integration and the Basement and IT room AHU systems for the Fire Suppression System project needed a shutdown sequence to comply with the fire code. Additionally, a replacement SIGA-270 pull station needed to be provided at the Community Center and a new wireless communicator was added by changing the cell carrier from Verizon to AT&T at Stevenson Park. Incorporation of these additional services to the original contract's scope of services resulted in Amendment No. 1 (Exhibit No. 4) which was approved by the City Council on October 3, 2023. This amendment resulted in an increase to the base contract sum of $328,820.56 to $361,045.56.

On or about December 19, 2023, under the City's Contract Officer's authority pursuant to Section 1.8 of the Agreement (Exhibit No. 5), the Contract Sum was increased by $2,415.00 for extra work performed by West Coast Fire & Integration. Inc., which increased the contract sum from $361,045.56 to $363,460.56.

On September 8, 2023, West Coast Fire & Integration, Inc. (WCF) was acquired by Climatec, LLC (Climatec) with the intention for Climatec to accept all of WCF's rights, interest, duties and obligations under the agreement. Section

4.5 of the original agreement states that “neither this Agreement nor any interest herein may be transferred, assigned, conveyed, hypothecated or encumbered voluntarily or by operation of law, whether for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, without the prior written approval of City." As a result, Amendment No. 2, approved by the City Council on February 20, 2024, authorized the assignment of the agreement from WCF to Climatec, effective retroactively as of September 8, 2023 (Exhibit No. 6).

On June 14, 2024 and July 24, 2024, under the City's Contract Officer's authority pursuant to Section 1.8 of the Agreement (Exhibit No. 7), extra work performed at various city facilities in the amount of $2,965.00 and $12,559.67, respectively, was authorized thereby increasing the contract sum to $378,985.23.

Currently the City Hall basement is undergoing renovations (Capital Improvement Project PW1731) to provide necessary upgrades. This includes the Emergency Operation Center (EOC), as well as the administrative office space for the Public Safety & Emergency Management (PS/EM) and the Information Technology and Security Departments. Additional work related to the fire and life safety systems has been identified and is needed to support the upgrades being done as part of the basement renovation project. Staff is now requesting City Council approval for Amendment No. 3 to increase the contract by a total not to exceed amount of $60,000.00 as outlined in the proposal submitted by Climatec (Exhibit No. 2). Amendment No. 3 will increase the total contract sum from $378,985.23 to $438,985.23.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
If Amendment No. 3 is approved, funding from the 101-99-999-904-6004 Capital Improvement Project PW1731 Basement/Emergency Operations Center Renovation project account will be used, resulting in no net fiscal impact.

TO AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACT SERVICES

THIS AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACT SERVICES
(“Amendment No. 3”) by and between the CITY OF CARSON, a California municipal corporation (“City”) and CLIMATEC, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“Consultant”) is effective as of the ____ day of __________________, 2025.

RECITALS
A. City and West Coast Fire & Integration, Inc. ( “WCF”) entered into that certain Agreement for Contractual Services dated May 27, 2022 (“Agreement”) whereby WCF agreed to provide fire and security systems monitoring and maintenance Services for 5 years, commencing July 1, 2022 and expiring on June 30, 2027, for a total Contract Sum of $328,820.56.

B. Additional services were required to include: connecting all existing relays to new HV AC units for shutdown at City Hall, conducting troubleshooting at City Hall for various issues, providing a replacement SIGA -270 pull station at the Community Center, and providing a new wireless communicator by changing the cell carrier from Verizon to AT&T at Stevenson Park Community Center (collectively, "Additional Services"), all of which were needed to be completed for fire and safety purposes.

C. On October 3, 2023, City and WCF entered into an amendment to the Agreement to add the Additional Services and increase compensation by $32,225 to cover the cost of the Additional Services for a total Contract Sum of $361,045.56 (“Amendment No. l”).

D. On or about December 19, 2023, under City's Contract Officer authority ( “CO Authority”) pursuant to Section 1.8 of the Agreement, the Contract Sum was increased by $2,415.00 for extra work performed by WCF consisting of purchase and installation of batteries needed for equipment needed for the Services, thereby increasing the Contract Sum f rom $361,045.56 to $363,460.56.

E. On or around September 8, 2023, Consultant acquired WCF's assets and liabilities and otherwise acquired WCF' s business operations, and WCF either has or intends to assign all of its rights, interests, duties and obligations under the Agreement to Consultant, and Consultant sees fit to assume the same. WCF evidenced that intent by issuance of a letter dated September 8, 2023, remitted to the City, advising of Consultant's acquisition of WCF and transfer of WCF's rights and responsibilities under the Agreement to Consultant, effective September 8, 2023.

F. Section 4.5 of the Agreement provides that “neither this Agreement nor any interest herein may be transferred, assigned, conveyed, hypothecated or encumbered voluntarily or by operation of law, whether for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, without the prior written approval of City.” Accordingly, WCF's September 8, 2023, letter was ineffective to serve as a transfer of any rights under the Agreement because it lacked City approval. Furthermore, a retroactive transfer is not permitted under the Agreement due to the requirement of prior City approval, and as such, the Agreement, absent an amendment, does not permit a transfer from WCF to Consultant that is effective as of September 8, 2023. However, the City is amenable to the EXHIBIT NO. 1
2 requested assignment, as is Consultant. Therefore, the City and Consultant now see fit to enter into this Amendment No. 2 to add an exception to Section 4.5 of the Agreement to authorize a transfer and assignment of WCF's rights, interests, duties and obligations under the Agreement to Consultant, effective retroactively as of September 8, 2023, and WCF acknowledges and consents to same.

G. The invoices received by the City for services performed under the Agreement commencing as of September 26, 2023 have been under the name of Consultant, not WCF.

However, under the Agreement, as originally executed, the City is only authorized to make payments to WCF. Therefore, an amendment to the Agreement is necessary to ensure proper authorization for the City to process and pay invoices to Consultant for services perf ormed under the Agreement dating back to September 26, 2023.

H. On May 8, 2024, City and Consultant entered into an amendment to the Agreement to authorize the assignment of the Agreement from WCF to Consultant, retroactive to September 8, 2023, and to thereby authorize the provision of the services under the Agreement by Consultant commencing as of said date, and to ratify and affirm the continuous and uninterrupted term of the Agreement commencing as of July 1, 2022 (“Amendment No. 2”).

I. On or about June 14, 2024, under City's CO Authority pursuant to Section 1.8 of the Agreement, the Contract Sum was increased by $2,965.00 for extra work performed by Consultant consisting of sale and installation of batteries for equipment needed for the Services, thereby increasing the Contract Sum to $366,425.56.

J. On or about July 24, 2024, under City’s CO Authority pursuant to Section 1.8 of the Agreement, the Contract Sum was increased by $12,559.67 for extra work performed by Consultant needed for the Services, thereby increasing the Contract Sum to $378,985.23. The parties acknowledge that the Contract Officer Form which is the instrument by which the extra work was period does not include a stated date, but mutually agree to deem the effective date of the Contract Officer Form to be July 24, 2024, based on the upload date in the City’s financial system when the funding increase was recorded.

K. Additional services are now required for City Hall basement renovations to include:
safe off all smoke detectors and coil up all the detectors for new tile construction, re-install all smoke detectors once tile is ready , re-route existing wires for HVAC ducts or any reason due to new layouts, supply materials as needed, supply new parts and programming, and complete any final inspection required by the authority aaving jurisdiction (collectively, “Additional Services”), all of which are needed to be completed for fire and safety purposes.

L. City and Consultant now desire to amend the Agreement to add the Additional Services and increase compensation by $60,000 to cover the cost of Additional Services for a total adjusted Contract Sum of $438,985.23.
