Mayor Pro Tempore/Agency Vice Chairman/Authority Vice Chairman Hicks, Sr. requested to remove the item for discussion.

Director Whittiker, Jr. gave a report.

Mayor/Agency Chairman/Authority Chairman Davis-Holmes mentioned that she recommends the rates to be inclusive of the weekend days and that the rates may be too expensive for the residents.

Director Whittiker, Jr. explained that other venues charge more (five surrounding cities) such as The Grand in the City of Long Beach and Carson is less. Choura is also a vendor at The Grand.

He further explained that because this space was previously not used at all, these rates will be all profit.

Mayor Pro Tempore/Agency Vice Chairman/Authority Vice Chairman Hicks, Sr. stated his request is that the residents would be able to utilize the space seven days a week at a flat rate and the amphitheater space to be comparable to renting Halls A, B, and C.

City Manager Roberts, Jr. stated that when staff was working on their research, they were trying to capture the same costs as the Community Center. Currently, there are Monday through Thursday rates at the Community Center. There is concern of staff that there may be potential push back from residents if there are no weekend rate adjustments at the Community Center as well.

Mayor/Agency Chairman/Authority Chairman Davis-Holmes mentioned that weekend events need to include a catering order and the non-profit organizations must be from Carson.

Discussion ensued regarding rates for Carson Event Center Halls A, B, and C.

Council Member/Agency Member/Authority Board Member Dear complimented staff on a good report. He asked if the amphitheater requires a catering contract and Director Whittiker, Jr. responded in the affirmative. He asked about the temporary prices and if this is to see how the marketing works out and Director Whittiker, Jr. responded in the affirmative.

There was consensus for seven days a week resident option.

Council Member/Agency Member/Authority Board Member, Dr. Hilton added that staff may want to consider adding a powerful internet, sound system, an LED wall, and other amenities to entice rental of space.

Director Whittiker, Jr. noted staff is working with Information Technology (IT) to add digital room signs, wait finder signs, and digital information boards as recommended by Council Member, Dr.

Hilton.

Tuesday, January 20, 2026, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 11. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: William Jefferson, Director of Finance FIN Administration Subject: CONSIDER A REPORT ON ALL INTRADEPARTMENTAL BUDGET TRANSFERS APPROVEDUNDER THE CITY MANAGER OR DESIGNEE AUTHORITY FOR THE MONTHS OF NOVEMBER 2025 ANDDECEMBER 2025 PER ORDINANCE 24-2401 (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
On February 20, 2024 (Item No. 27), Council adopted Ordinance 24 -2401 amending Section 2955.1 (Budget Transfers) of Chapter 9.5 (Fiscal Administration) of Article II (Administration) of the Carson Municipal Code (CMC).

CMC Section 2955.1 now requires that once per month during a regular City Council meeting, a list of all interdepartmental budget transfers approved under City Manager authority, including any Departmental Director- approved transfers, shall be presented to the City Council. Per CMC Section 2955.1, staff are presenting to Council a report of interdepartmental budget transfers authorized by the City Manager or designee for the period of November 2025 (Exhibit No. 1) and December 2025 (Exhibit No. 2).

II. RECOMMENDATION
RECEIVE and FILE the report (Exhibit No. 1 and Exhibit No. 2) III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate and consistent with the requirements of the law.

IV. BACKGROUND
The City's budget is a critical tool for allocating resources to various departments and initiatives, ensuring the efficient delivery of services to residents. Throughout the fiscal year, departments may encounter unforeseen circumstances or evolving priorities that necessitate adjustments to their budgets. These adjustments often involve transferring funds between line items to address emerging needs or to capitalize on new opportunities.

In compliance with CMC 2955.1, the City Manager may approve any budget transfer within the same City department, except for transfers involving personnel-related funds or expenditures, such as salaries or benefits.

Department Directors may also approve interdepartmental budget transfers within their respective Departments on terms prescribed by the City Manager (subject to compliance with CMC 2955.1 and applicable law), except that:
(i) Department Directors shall not be permitted to approve any interdepartmental budget transfers involving personnel-related funds or expenditures, such as salaries or benefits; and (ii) the City Manager shall have authority to restrict (including by removing) the interdepartmental budget transfer authority of one or more Department Directors as deemed necessary in the City Manager’s sole discretion.

These requests undergo careful review to assess the justification, necessity, and potential impact of the proposed transfers. The City Manager's office then presents these monthly reports to the City Council.

Attached as Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2 is the Interdepartmental Budget Transfers Report for City Manager or designee authority executed in November 2025 and December 2025.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, January 20, 2026, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 16. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Margie Revilla , PIO Manager CMO PIO Subject: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE 2026 STUDENT CULTURAL EXCHANGE DELEGATION TOSOKA, JAPAN (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
Staff requests that the Carson City Council consider and approve funding for the 2026 Student Exchange Program to Soka, Japan. Approval will authorize the City to continue its long-standing sister city relationship by supporting a delegation of students from the City of Carson to participate in cultural, educational, and civic exchange activities with Soka City. The program advances the City’s goals of international goodwill, youth development, and cross- cultural understanding, and serves a clear public purpose consistent with prior Council actions and budgeted appropriations.

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. DECLARE that the City of Carson expenditures toward the 2026 Soka, Japan Student Exchange Program serves a public purpose.

2. APPROVE the composition of five student delegates to be selected as the 2026 Student Cultural Exchange delegation to Soka, Japan.

3. APPROVE the selection of a representative on staff or a representative from the Carson Sister Cities Association as chaperon for the student delegation.

4. APPROVE $6,650 to cover the cost for the chaperon ($1,900) and one-half of the airfare for the student delegates ($4,750).

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

IV. BACKGROUND
The City of Carson and Soka, Japan, established their formal Sister City relationship in 1979. For over 46 years, this partnership has served as the cornerstone of the City’s international diplomacy efforts.

Historically, the student exchange program alternated annually when it first began. In odd years, Carson hosts a delegation of students from Soka and on even years, Carson sends a delegation of local high school students to Soka for a two-week cultural immersion. The student exchange in the 2000s became biennial in consideration of the financial commitments required by both countries.

This program was briefly transitioned to a "Virtual Exchange Message Program" during the 2021-2022 pandemic period but successfully returned to in-person travel in 2024. Previous City Councils have historically supported this endeavor by subsidizing travel costs to ensure that the opportunity remains accessible to students of all socioeconomic backgrounds.

To ensure a fair and transparent selection process, the 2026 exchange opportunity was publicized through a multi- channel outreach campaign conducted by the Public Information Office:

Direct Outreach: Flyers and application packets were distributed to all high schools serving Carson residents.

Digital Presence: City’s official website and social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook).

Community Media: Announcement in the local Carson Magazine.

Application deadline was January 15, 2026. Applicants are historically selected based on academic standing, community involvement, and an interview process conducted by the Carson Sister Cities Association board members. The anticipated travel dates for the 2026 student exchange are July 25 through August 8, 2026.

State law interpreting the gift of public funds prohibition in the California constitution is clear that if funds are used for a public purpose of the city making the expenditure, it does not constitute a “gift” within the meaning of the constitutional prohibition. (County of Alameda v. Janssen, 16 Cal.2d 276, 281 (1940)). There is no precise definition of “public purpose,” but legislative determinations as to what constitutes a “public purpose” are given great weight by the courts and will not be disturbed unless they are unreasonable and arbitrary. (California Hous. Fin. Agency v.

Elliott, 17 Cal. 3d 575, 576 (1976)).

Here, there exists a public purpose because the expenditure serves the municipal purpose of promoting global education, cultural literacy, and international municipal relations, which benefits the City’s reputation and future leadership pool. Additionally, unlike a "gift," this funding is tied to a specific obligation. All selected participants and their families must sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreeing to serve as a Host Family for the Soka delegation in 2028. This reciprocity provides the City with a vital service—lodging and meals for international guests—which would otherwise represent a significant direct cost to the City.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
The current average cost for round-trip airfare to Tokyo/Narita is estimated at $1,900 per person including tax and insurance. With a delegation of 5 students and 1 chaperone, the total cost is approximately $6,650. Funds are available in the General Fund Account 101-50-505-101-6014, and this appropriation will not adversely impact on essential city services.

The proposed contract is for a five-year term beginning March 2, 2026, and ending March 2, 2031 (unless terminated earlier in accordance with the termination provisions of the contract).

Approval of the recommendation (Recommendation Items 1–2, below) would approve the proposed Contract Services Agreement with Joe A. Gonsalves & Son for State of California legislative advocacy services. Over the five-year term, the total not-to-exceed amount would be $300,000 (see Exhibit No. 1).

Joe A. Gonsalves & Son has provided State of California legislative advocacy services to the City of Carson since March 2021, following a competitive proposal process conducted in 2020. Their current contract is set to expire March 1, 2026.

Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, cost s, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim.

Public transportation options include the MTA Bus Line and the City-operated Carson Circuit, providing efficient local transit.

Known for its
modern infrastructure and business -friendly environment, Carson is home to major petrochemical, electronics, automotive, aerospace, trucking, and high- tech industries.

Adopted by City Council on August 3, 2021
Purpose Statement
The Carson City Council recognizes the need for an active state and federal legislative program to protect the city’s interests in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. and also to advocate for grant funding to the City of Carson. The Legislative Platform provides a framework for the City of Carson’s legislative agenda. The Legislative Platform is the foundation of a focused advocacy strategy and serves as a reference guide for legislative positions and objectives that provide direction for the City Council and staff. The Legislative Platform shall be reviewed and adopted annually or whenever the City Council changes, whichever occurs first, in order to reflect the City Council’s mission, vision, and priorities.

City Council Mission, Vision, and Priorities:

In March 2021 the City Council adopted the following Mission and Vision for the City of Carson.

Mission
“To serve and enhance the quality of life of residents and businesses through engagement and the efficient delivery of exceptional services.”
Vision
“Carson: a thriving, diverse, destination city – a great place to live, work and play with an unlimited future.”
The City Council also adopted the below Priorities with the top 4 listed first  Quality of Life Improvements (infrastructure, maintenance, and beautification)

 Economic Development / Making progress on development that provides community benefits in the long term
 Governance Policies pertaining to Districts in the City  Public Safety
 Advocacy for funds from county, state, and federal government  Maintain quality City programs and services
 Housing
 Increased outreach and information to the community
Legislative Program
The primary objective of adopting the Legislative Platform is to set the foundation for the City Council to adopt official city positions on clearly stated legislative issues that are consistent with the City’s mission, vision, and priorities. By doing this, the legislative approval process is streamlined by eliminating the need for repetitive concurrence and direction from the City Council on previously approved issues. The Legislative Platform is developed and maintained using the goals and objectives of the City Council, input from the Legislative Ad Hoc Committee, a review of legislative priorities from the League of California Cities, League’s Los Angeles Division, California Contract Cities Association and other partner agencies (see below), input from staff, research of current law and pending legislation, as well as discussions with local legislative staff and the City’s legislative advocates.

Federal and state legislative proposals and policies consistent with the Legislative Platform may be supported by the City. Policies and proposals inconsistent with this Legislative Platform may be opposed by the City. For proposed legislation, either consistent with the City’s Legislative Platform or consistent with legislative positions the City has taken in the past; City staff shall be authorized to prepare position letters with the authorization of the City Council. City Council’s adoption of this platform authorizes the City’s active participation to influence state and federal decision-making on legislative, administrative, regulatory and funding issues and to support judicial advocacy consistent with the City’s priorities. Using this document as a guide, the City will adopt positions on specific legislation, regulations and budget proposals, and respond to requests for support when the outcome of a pending lawsuit is likely to significantly affect a City priority.

Legislative priorities typically only address issues directly relevant to or impacting the provision of municipal services. Generally, the City will not address matters that are not pertinent to the City’s local government services. Items not addressed in the City’s Legislative Platform may require further direction from the City Council.

CONSENT 18. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nora A. Garcia , Director of Public Safety & Emergency Management PS Administration Subject: CONSIDER APPROVING THE USE OF COPS (CITIZENS' OPTION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY)GRANT FUNDING FOR LAW-ENFORCEMENT SUPPORT TECHNOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
The City of Carson contracts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) for the provision of law- enforcement services. In support of these services, the City receives annual COPS (Citizens’ Option for Public Safety) funding, which is restricted to uses that support frontline law-enforcement operations.

The City maintains several public safety systems that support frontline law-enforcement and public safety operations in Carson, including the City’s fixed surveillance camera network, body-worn camera systems, and public safety audiovisual and communications systems within the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). In addition, LASD has requested the deployment of portable surveillance camera systems to support law-enforcement and investigative operations in Carson.

This staff report seeks City Council approval to authorize the use of the City’s FY 25/26 COPS funding allocation for these public safety technology and equipment needs, as detailed in this report.

II. RECOMMENDATION
APPROVE the use of COPS grant funding for Public Safety technology and equipment in support of law- enforcement operations in Carson.

III. ALTERNATIVES

1. DO NOT APPROVE. This would delay the maintenance, upgrade, and deployment of public-safety technology that directly supports law-enforcement operations in Carson.

2. TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate, subject to compliance with applicable law.

IV. BACKGROUND
The City of Carson provides law-enforcement services to the community through a contractual agreement with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD). To support these services, the City receives annual COPS (Citizens’ Option for Public Safety) funding, which is restricted to uses that directly support frontline law- enforcement operations.

The statutory framework governing COPS funding (Exhibit No. 2) allows for the use of these funds for technology, equipment, and related costs that enhance law-enforcement operations, situational awareness, evidence collection, officer safety, and coordinated response capabilities. The City has reviewed the applicable statutory requirements and obtained written confirmation from LASD (Exhibit No. 1), as the City’s contracted law-enforcement provider, that the proposed uses of these funds directly support frontline law-enforcement operations in Carson.

The City maintains a fixed surveillance camera network and body-worn camera systems that support LASD investigations, situational awareness, evidence collection, officer safety, and accountability. These systems assist in documenting law-enforcement activity, supporting citations and arrests, and providing evidence documentation for criminal and administrative proceedings.

In addition, LASD has requested the deployment of portable surveillance camera systems to support targeted enforcement efforts in areas experiencing recurring public safety concerns. These systems enhance real time situational awareness, support enforcement actions related to unlawful activities, and assist in addressing emerging public safety issues, including street takeover activity and other high impact incidents.

The City’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) houses public safety audiovisual and communications systems that support interagency coordination, command and control, and response during law-enforcement and public safety incidents. The proposed use of COPS funding will support the maintenance, enhancement, deployment, licensing, storage, and continued operation of these public safety systems and equipment.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
COPS grant funding in the amount of $600,000.00 is currently available and appropriated in the adopted FY 25/26 budget under GL account 209-55-551-117-6004. Approval of the requested funding authorizes the use of these existing funds for the purposes described in this report. As such, there is no fiscal impact to the General Fund.

CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, January 20, 2026, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 19. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nathan Freeman, Director of Community and Economic Development CD Administration Subject: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENTWITH CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY DOMINGUEZ HILLS FOUNDATION TO CONTINUE IMPLEMENTINGBROWNFIELD GRANT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES AND ASSIST THE CITY IN PURSUING THESTATE OF CALIFORNIA'S TRANSFORMATIVE CLIMATE COMMUNITIES (TCC) GRANT (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
Carson has been actively developing and implementing a comprehensive brownfields program and has secured eight (8) local, state, and federal grants over the past three and a half years, including two community-wide assessment grants. The City has also applied for, and will continue to pursue, additional funding to further advance this effort.

Currently, staff is evaluating the State’s Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) grant as an opportunity to build upon the City’s successful brownfields program and potentially secure up to $30 million in state funding. This funding would support coordinated, place-based investments that deliver climate, environmental, economic, and public health benefits in disadvantaged communities through a multi-partner, community-wide transformation project.

A key element of a competitive TCC grant application is strong community engagement and the advancement of community-led projects. As such, staff recommends building upon the City’s existing partnership with California State University Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) related to the Brownfields Program through approval of a contract amendment. The proposed amendment would increase the existing contract by $20,000, with all other terms and conditions remaining unchanged.

II. RECOMMENDATION

1. APPROVE the proposed Amendment No. 1 to the Contract Services Agreement with CSUDH Foundation to provide community engagement services and assistance with brownﬁeld program implementation and assistance with the TCC grant application preparation.

2. AUTHORIZE the City Manager to execute the proposed Amendment No. 1.

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

IV. BACKGROUND
In 2022 and 2023, the City have adopted policies pertaining to brownfields and environmental remediation. These policies include, but are not limited to, the following:

Resolution No. 22-068 - This resolution declared the City’s intention to formally prioritize the remediation and development of vacant, environmentally challenged properties in the City and develop a comprehensive economic development ordinance to facilitate remediation and development of contaminated properties.

Carson 2040 General Plan Community Health & Environmental Justice Element, Policy CHE-G-6 - "Explore opportunities and seek funding to remediate and redevelop brownfields as sites to spur economic development, expand natural open spaces and parks, community gardens, and other similar health- promoting community revitalization activities, particularly in underserved neighborhoods." Economic Development Strategic Plan, Strategy 6.E - “Partner with property owners to assess, investigate, and clean-up contaminated sites, establishing Carson as a "national best-practices leader" in brownfield remediation and redevelopment.”
As of result of these policies, staff has actively implementing a comprehensive Brownfield Redevelopment Program with initial success of securing eight (8) highly local, state, and federal grants over the past three years.

City of Carson Brownfields Program Overview
The City's Brownfields Program is committed to transforming underutilized, vacant, and environmentally challenged properties into safe, sustainable, and thriving community assets. The program entails working in partnership with property owners, residents, and stakeholders to:

Remediate and redevelop brownfield sites to stimulate economic growth, foster adaptive reuse, and catalyze community revitalization.

Prioritize underserved neighborhoods by creating opportunities for parks, open spaces, community gardens, and other health-promoting uses.

Collaborate with property owners and stakeholders to assess, investigate, and clean up contaminated sites, setting a standard of excellence as a national leader in brownfield redevelopment.

Leverage public and private resources to advance environmental remediation in ways that support Carson’s long-term goals for sustainability, equity, and prosperity.

By turning challenges into opportunities, the Carson Brownfields Program helps build a more vibrant and resilient Carson for current and future generations. To that end, community outreach and engagement activities will be critical to achieve the goals of the program.

Partnership with CSUDH
At a past California Land Recycling Conference (state's largest brownfield conference) in Carson, representatives from San Diego State University (SDSU) presented their brownfields program with the city of National City. Unlike a traditional approach where a city would hire a consultant for outreach or perform its own outreach using city staff, the SDSU and National City model leverages existing university resources by connecting SDSU faculty and students to community projects. Participating classes conducts research in the National City community; create meeting agendas, flyers, press releases, digital content, and presentations; and assist with the organization and implementation of community meetings. As universities are often considered as "neutral-third party" to the general public, SDSU discovered that it was able to gain greater trust for its community wide brownfield efforts than a municipality deciding to pursue outreach on its own.

Last year, the City partnered with CSUDH to establish a similar city–university collaboration in Carson in support of the City’s brownfields program. CSUDH has assisted the City with the development of marketing materials, creation of a community engagement plan, and establishment of a Brownfields Advisory Committee specifically focused on brownfield redevelopment in Carson.

Work under the existing contract is ongoing, including development of a Brownfields “Story Map” and a Brownfields Fellowship program. Staff intends to leverage this existing work and partnership in support of a Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) grant application. Given the extensive nature of the TCC application, CSUDH’s role under this proposed amendment would be to assist the City in building meaningful partnerships that support long- term, system-level improvements, as envisioned by the TCC program.

CSUDH will play an active role in partnership development and community engagement related to the TCC application, working closely with City staff to prepare a competitive submission. The next TCC funding cycle is anticipated to be released this summer, with applications due in the fall.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
The $20,000 contract is budgeted under Account No. 206-70-500-100-6004 (Professional Services) and, ifapplicable, will be fully funded by DTSC’s ECRG award. If necessary, alternative eligible funding sources may beused, as determined by the Contract Officer.

AMENDMENT NO. 1

TO AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACT SERVICES

THIS AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT FOR CONTRACT SERVICES
(“Amendment”) by and between the CITY OF CARSON, a California municipal corporation (“City”) and CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY DOMINGUEZ HILLS FOUNDATION, on behalf of the California State University, Dominguez Hills (“Foundation”), is effective as of the ___ day of _____________, 202_. City and Foundation are sometimes hereinafter individually referred to as “Party” and hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Parties.”

RECITALS

A. City and Foundation entered into that certain Agr eement for Contract Services dated December 4, 2024 with an effective date of January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2026, (“Agreement”), whereby Foundation agreed to provide a variety of community engagement services in exchange for the City paying a total not-to-exceed Contract Sum of $50,000 for the two-year term.

B. City and Foundation now desire to amend the Agreement to increase the total compensation by $20,000, thereby increasing the Contract Sum from $50,000 to $70,000 to account for the revised scope of services for the remainder of the term.

TERMS

1. Incorporation of Recitals. The Recitals set forth above are incorporated into and are a part of this Amendment.

2. Terms and Definition. All words, terms, and phrases used or referenced in this Amendment, not expressly defined in this Amendment, shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement.

3. Contract Changes. The Agreement is amended as provided herein (new text is indicated in bold italics and deleted text in strikethrough).

A. Subsection “Contract Amount” of Section “Sponsor” of the Agreement is amended as follows:

“Contract Amount: $750,000.00”

B. Section I of Exhibit A “Scope of Work” of the Agreement is hereby amended to add the following to the end of the section:
“ Task E: Pursue Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Grant CSUDH will designate a faculty member (e.g., professor) to support the City of Carson in sustaining and expanding its brownfields community engagement initiatives 2 january 2026
january 2026
01007.0002 2075007.3
and advancing the City’s efforts to pursue and apply for a TCC grant. This work will build on the City’s successful brownfields program. If successful, the TCC grant would provide up to $30 million in state funding for coordinated, place -based investments in the City that deliver climate, environmental, economic, and public health benefits in disadvantaged communities through multi -partner, community-wide transformation projects. The services include, but are not limited to:

1. Identifying relevant strategies: The faculty member will help align project ideas with the TCC's listed eligible strategies. For instance, they could propose projects that focus on health and well-being, such as creating green spaces to reduce heat-related illness, or improving indoor air quality through energy efficiency upgrades.

2. Developing an equitable approach: TCC emphasizes proposals that increase community agency and power. The professor will help design project concepts that use a climate justice framework, which acknowledges the unequal distribution of environmental harm and benefits. This can be achieved by prioritizing projects in areas with high CalEnviroScreen scores, which the TCC prioritizes.

3. Proposing innovative public health interventions: TCC is interested in unique projects that create transformative change. The professor will help research and propose cutting-edge public health interventions that address the climate-health nexus.

4. Provide evidence-based justifications: The professor will connect proposed climate projects —like improving air quality through reduced traffic or increasing access to healthy food —to recognized public health strategies. This adds a critical, evidence-based foundation to the proposal, demonstrating a clear link be tween the project's activities and improved community well-being.

5. Formalize community engagement: The TCC program requires grantees to develop a community engagement plan to ensure that investments reflect residents' needs and visions. The professor will provide expertise on best practices for collaborative stakeholder structures and authentic community participation, which is a key component of successful TCC grants.

6. Lead community health assessments: The professor will help design and execute a community health assessment, including focus groups and surveys, to gather residents' input on their specific health and environmental concerns. This process directly involves the community in the proposal's development and increa ses the project's relevance to their lived experiences.

7. Stakeholder mapping and engagement: The professor will help identify and map crucial community stakeholders, such as residents, grassroots organizations, businesses, and local leaders. The professor can then help establish a Collaborative Stakeholder Structure, which is a highly encouraged component for TCC applicants.

8. Formalizing partnerships: The professor will help develop and formalize the partnership agreement between CSUDH and the City of Carson, as required by the TCC grant application.
01007.0002 2075007.3

9. Enhance outreach strategy: Drawing from experience in public health campaigns, the professor will advise on culturally appropriate outreach tactics to ensure high levels of participation from priority populations. This can include working with community-based organizations (CBOs) and faith -based groups to maximize engagement and build trust.

10. Expanding the network: The professor will help identify and recruit other academic or non -profit partners that can bring additional expertise, resources, and credibility to the grant application. For example, a partnership with a university transportation department could strengthen clean mobility components.

Brownfields Job Training Coordinator
Currently, there are no workforce training programs focused on environmental assessment and remediation job training programs for adults in this area. Given the significant number of contaminated sites and the anticipated growth in cleanup and redevelopment efforts in Carson, there is a clear and ongoing need for a skilled workforce to support these projects. To support and strengthen the impact of the EPA Brownfields Job Training Grant, CSUDH will designate a faculty member as the Brownfields Job Training Coordinator (Coordinator), and commit to the following:

1. Curriculum development support: The Coordinator will collaborate with other colleagues at CSUDH to provide input on the training curriculum content based on the local market needs and current and forecasted projects and assist with the identification of career pathways and related coursework and training; and 2 Outreach and recruitment: The Coordinator will collaborate with the City of Carson to leverage vast networks to assist with outreach and recruitment of participants.

BAC Chair
The City of Carson has partnered with CSUDH to form a multi -stakeholder Brownfields Advisory Committee to guide brownfields redevelopment, prioritizing sites for assessment by establishing criteria such as community planning priorities, location, size, past use, and neighborhood context. The professor of public health, Tony Jehi, has been helping in the development and leadership of this committee since Spring 2025. His responsibilities extend further to leading the committee in the following:

1. Developing site prioritization criteria which may include, but are not limited t o, community planning priorities, site location and size, past use, neighborhood context Determining existing environmental contamination through Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments; and

2. Coordinating future site plans based on community priorities and site conditions.

CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, January 20, 2026, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 20. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nathan Freeman, Director of Community and Economic Development CD {{division}} Subject: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO PROVIDE ON CALL PROFESSIONAL LABORCOMPLIANCE SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH THE FACADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR THECOMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SPECIAL PROJECTS DIVISION (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
The Special Projects Division of the Community & Economic Development Department is currently implementing citywide Façade Improvement grant and loan programs designed to modernize storefronts, support small businesses, and encourage ongoing property improvements. As these programs are among the most ambitious and comprehensive initiatives undertaken by the City to date, adequate resources are essential to ensure their successful implementation. Given limited internal staffing capacity and the substantial number of façade projects currently underway, securing on-call labor compliance services is critical to ensure the City’s compliance with state prevailing wage requirements and the successful implementation of the façade improvement programs.

With the exception of the East Carson Corridor façade projects, which utilize MDG Associates, Inc. under a Housing Division contract for prevailing wage compliance, the City currently relies on GCAP Services, Inc. (“GCAP”) to provide labor compliance services for all other citywide façade grant- and loan-funded projects. The GCAP contract was previously administered by the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department and will be transferred to the Special Projects Division of the Community & Economic Development Department. Due to GCAP’s familiarity and extensive involvement with the City’s Façade Improvement Program, staff recommends extending the contract term from December 31, 2025 through June 30, 2028. The contract’s maximum not-to- exceed amount will remain $300,000 for the duration of the agreement.

II. RECOMMENDATION

1. APPROVE the proposed Amendment No. 1 to the Contract Services Agreement with GCAP Services, Inc. to provide On-Call Professional Labor Compliance Services for the extended term from December 31, 2025 through June 30, 2028.

2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute the Contract Services Agreement following approval as to form by the City Attorney.

III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate consistent with the requirements of the law.

IV. BACKGROUND
Previously, the Public Works Department issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 22-020 to establish a pool of on- call labor compliance consulting firms qualified to provide professional services for various City projects. GCAP was ranked among the top three firms selected from six proposals received. Since that time, Public Works has relied on other on-call labor compliance service providers and no longer requires GCAP’s services.

The Community & Economic Development Department has continued to utilize GCAP to support its Façade Improvement Program. Under this role, GCAP will administer and oversee façade improvement projects that are subject to State prevailing wage requirements. GCAP will ensure compliance by all parties involved, including contractors, subcontractors, and other project participants. Proper labor compliance administration is essential to ensure that City-funded projects fully comply with State prevailing wage laws.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
The contract’s maximum not-to-exceed amount will remain $300,000 for the duration of the agreement and funded from Community Development Administration Account 101-70-701-100-6004.

CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, January 20, 2026, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 21. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Michael Whittiker, Community Services Director CS Operations Subject: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A PUBLIC WORKS AGREEMENT WITH ED’S FENCING, INC. TOREPLACE THE TENNIS COURT FENCING AND IRRIGATION BACKFLOW CAGE AT STEVENSON PARK (CITYCOUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
Community Services Park Maintenance staff are recommending a full replacement of the fencing around the tennis courts and the irrigation backflow cage at Stevenson Park because the existing fencing is worn, deteriorated, and no longer functioning as intended. Replacing the fencing will improve safety, protect City infrastructure, and enhance the overall appearance of the park for residents and visitors. The proposed work includes removing the existing fencing and installing new chain-link fencing, horizontal support poles, and all necessary hardware to provide a strong, secure, and long-lasting installation. The total cost of this Public Works Agreement with Ed’s Fencing, Inc. would not exceed $63,400. Additional details regarding the scope of work and pricing are included in Exhibit No. 1.

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. APPROVE the proposed Public Works Agreement with Ed’s Fencing, Inc. to replace the fencing around the tennis courts and the irrigation backflow cage at Stevenson Park, for a total contract amount not to exceed $63,400 (see Exhibit No. 1, the “Agreement”); and,

2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute the Agreement, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney.

III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE any other action the City Council deems appropriate, consistent with applicable law.

IV. BACKGROUND
Stevenson Park is an important recreational facility for the Carson community, offering residents a wide range of sports and leisure opportunities. The park’s tennis courts are especially popular and are used regularly by people of all ages. Over time, however, the fencing surrounding the tennis courts has significantly deteriorated due to constant use and exposure to weather. The existing fencing no longer adequately encloses the courts, is increasingly vulnerable to damage, and has negatively affected the overall appearance of the park.

To address these issues, staff is proposing a full replacement of the tennis court fencing. The proposed work includes removing and hauling away the existing fencing materials (while retaining the vertical fence posts), repainting the posts, and installing new 12-foot-high chain-link fencing. This includes new top, middle, and bottom rails, along with all necessary fittings and hardware, to provide a safe, secure, and long-lasting enclosure.

In addition, staff is recommending replacement of the irrigation backflow cage at Stevenson Park. A backflow cage is a protective enclosure that secures irrigation equipment used to water park landscaping. The existing cage is beyond repair and vulnerable to vandalism. The proposed work includes excavating and reinstalling the bottom braces, realigning the top braces, replacing the chain-link roof, and installing a new 8-foot-high swing gate with a lockable latch to better protect the equipment.

The combined work proposed under this agreement qualifies as a public works project under the City’s Municipal Code and the California Public Contracts Code. State law allows public works projects costing $75,000 or less to be completed through a negotiated contract rather than a formal bidding process. Because the total project cost will not exceed $63,400 formal or informal bidding is not required. Staff obtained a detailed quote from Ed’s Fencing, Inc., which serves as the basis for the proposed scope of work and pricing. Ed’s Fencing, Inc. is a contractor the City has successfully used for similar projects in the past. While the cost of this individual project is below the threshold that typically requires City Council approval, the cumulative Fiscal Year 2025-26 expenditures with this contractor for similar work, including this agreement, total $99,760.

For these reasons, staff is recommending approval of the proposed agreement with Ed’s Fencing, Inc. to replace the tennis court fencing and irrigation backflow cage at Stevenson Park.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this project is already included in the City’s adopted Fiscal Year 2025-26 Operating Budget. The costs will be paid from Account No. 101-90-970-101-6004, which is designated for park maintenance and improvement projects. Because sufficient funds are available in the approved budget, no additional appropriations or budget adjustments are required for City Council’s consideration.

All warranties and guarantees of s ubcontractors, suppliers and manufacturers with respect to any portion of the work , whether express or implied, are deemed to be obtained by Contractor for the benefit of the City, regardless of whether or not such warranties and guarantees have been transferred or assigned to the City by separate agreement and Contractor agrees to enforce such warranties and guarantees, if necessary, on behalf of the City. In the event that Contractor fails to perform its obligations under this Section, or under any other warranty or guaranty under this Agreement , to the reasonable satisfaction of the City, the City shall have the right to correct and replace any defective or non-conforming work and any work damaged by such work or the replacement or correction thereof at Contractor’s sole expense.

(i) Labor: The cost of labor shall be the actual cost for wages of workers and subcontractors performing the work for the Change Order at the time such work is done. The use of labor classifications that would increase the cost of such work shall not be permitted.
(ii) M

(d) It is expressly understood by Contractor that the provisions of this Section shall not apply to services specifically set forth in the Scope of Work. Contractor hereby acknowledges that it accepts the risk that the services to be provided pursuant to the Scope of Work may be more costly or time consuming than Contractor anticipates and that Contractor shall not be entitled to additional compensation therefor. City may in its sole and absolute discretion have similar work done by other contractors.
(e) No claim for an increase in the Contract Sum or time for performance shall be valid unless the procedures established in this Section are followed.

01007.0006 2045813.5
renewed contract with that fleet. Contractor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the District, its officers, agents, employees and directors from any liability imposed arising from Contractor’s violation of any regulation set forth in 13 CCR 2449.

1.14 Special Requirements.

Additional terms and conditions of this Agreement, if any, which are made a part hereof are set forth in the “Special Requirements,” attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by this reference.

In the event of a dispute between City and Contractor, City may withhold from the final payment an amount not to exceed one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the disputed amount.

2.5 Waiver.

(b) At the request and expense of Contractor, Contractor has the option of establishing an escrow account with a state or federally chartered bank which shall serve as an escrow agent, for Contractor’s direct deposit of securities as a substitute for retention earnings required to be withheld by the City. Upon Contractor’s completion of its obligations hereunder, as evidenced by the City’s acceptance of the work pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof, the escrow agent shall return the securities to Contractor. The escrow agent shall notify the City within ten (10) days after deposit of the securities. The market value of the securities at the time of the substitution shall be at least equal to the cash amount then required to be withheld as retention.

Contractor shall complete the Project within fifteen (15) business days after receiving a “Notice to Proceed” from the City in accordance with any schedule contained in or required to be provided by the Proposal or Bid Documents , and any revisions thereof approved by the City in writing. Time is of the essence. If the work is not completed within said time period, liquidated damages shall apply. The term of this Agreement shall expire one (1) year following City’s acceptance of the Project.

3.2 Liquidated Damages.

Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any service required hereunder. The City may withhold any accrued liquidated damages from any monies payable on account of se rvices performed by the Contractor. To the extent required by Government Code section 4215, Contractor shall not be assessed liquidated damages for delay in completion of the work when such delay was caused by the failure of the City or owner of the utility to provide for removal or relocation of utility facilities.

3.3 Force Majeure.

The time period(s) specified in the Schedule of Performance for performance of the services rendered pursuant to this Agreement shall be extended because of any delays due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor, including, but not restricted to, acts of God or of the public enemy, unusually severe weather, fires, earthquakes, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, riots, strikes, freight embargoes, wars, litigation, and/or acts of any governmental agency, including the City, if the Contractor shall within ten (10) days of the commencement of such delay notify the Project Manager in writing of the causes of the delay. The Project Manager shall ascertain the facts and the extent of delay, and extend the time for performing the services for the period of the enforced delay when and if in the judgment of the Project Manager such delay is justified. The Project Manager ’s determination shall be final and conclusive upon the Parties to this Agreement. In no event shall Contractor be entitled to recover damages against the City for any delay in the performance of this Agreement, however caused, Contractor’s sole remedy being extension of the Agreement pursuant to this Section.

3.4 Final Acceptance.

Acceptance of the Project shall only be by action of the City Council. Neither the acceptance nor any prior inspections or failure to inspect shall constitute a waiver by City of any defects in the work. From and after acceptance, the Project shall be owned and operated by City.

As a condition to acceptance, Contractor shall certify to City in writing that all of the work has been performed in strict conformity with the Agreement and that all costs have been paid or supplied to City for security required herein, satisfactory to City, guaranteeing such performance. -11-

If the Contractor disputes the City’s written response, or the City fails to respond within the time prescribed, the Contractor may so notify the City, in writing, either within 15 days of receipt of the City’s response or within 15 days of the City’s failure to respond within the time prescribed, respectively, and demand an informal conference to meet and confer for settlement of the iss ues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand, the City shall schedule a meet and confer conference within 30 days for settlement of the dispute. (e) M
ediation . Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the claim or any portion of the claim remains in dispute, the City shall provide the Contractor a written statement identifying the portion of the claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the City issues its written statement. Any disputed portion of the claim, as identified by the contractor in writing, shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation, with the City and the Contractor sharing the associated costs equally. The City and Contractor shall mutually agree to a mediator within 10 business days after the disputed portion of the claim has been identified in writing, unless the parties agree to select a mediator at a later time. (i) If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator and those mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the claim. Each party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral mediator. (ii) For purposes of this section, mediation includes any nonbinding process, including, but not limited to, neutral evaluation or a dispute review board, in which an independent third party or board assists the parties in dispute resolution through negotiation or by issuance of an evaluation. Any mediation utilized shall conform to the timeframes in this section. (iii) Unless otherwise agreed to by the City and the contractor in writing, the mediation conducted pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under Public Contract Code Section 20104.4 to mediate after litigation has been commenced. (iv) All unresolved claims shall be considered jointly in a single mediation, unless a new unrelated claim arises after mediation is completed. (f) City’s Responses. The City’s failure to respond to a claim from the Contractor within the time periods described in this section or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section shall result in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is denied by reason of the City’s failure to have responded to a claim, or its failure to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section, shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the responsibility of qualifications of the Contractor. City’s failure to -23-
01007.0006 2045813.5
respond shall not waive City’s rights to any subsequent procedures for the resolution of disputed claims.
(g) Government Code Claims. If following the mediation, the claim or any portion remains in dispute, the Contractor must comply with the claim procedures set forth in Government Code Section 900 et seq. prior to filing any lawsuit against the City. Such Government Code claims and any subsequent lawsuit based upon the Government Code claims shall be limited to those matters that remain unresolved after all procedures pertaining to extra work, disputed work, construction claims, and/or changed conditions, including any required mediation, have been followed by Contractor. If no such Government Code claim is submitted, or if the prerequisite contractual requirements are not satisfied, no action against the City may be filed. A Government Code claim must be filed no earlier than the date that Contractor completes all contractual prerequisites to filing a Government Code claim, including any required mediation.

A Government Code claim shall be inclusive of all unresolved claims unless a new unrelated claim arises after the Government Code claim is submitted. For purposes of Government Code Section 900 et seq., the running of the period of time within which a claim must be filed shall be tolled from the time the Contractor submits his or her written claim to the City until the time the claim is denied, including any period of time utilized by the meet and confer conference or mediation that does not result in a complete resolutions of all claims. (h) C
ivil Actions for Claims of $375,000 or Less . The following procedures are established for all civil actions filed to resolve claims totaling $375,000 or less:
(i) Within 60 days, but no earlier than 30 days, following the filing or responsive pleadings, the court shall submit the matter to non-binding mediation unless waived by mutual stipulation of both parties or unless mediation was held prior to commencement of the action in accordance with Public Contract Code section 9204 and the procedures in this Section.

The mediation process shall provide for the selection within 15 days by both parties of a disinterested third person as mediator, shall be commenced within 30 days of the submittal, and shall be concluded within 15 days from the commencement of the mediation unless a time requirement is extended upon a good cause showing to the court or by stipulation of both parties.

If the parties fail to select a mediator within the 15-day period, either party may petition the court to appoint the mediator.
(ii) If the matter remains in dispute, the case shall be submitted to judicial arbitration pursuant to Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 1141.10) of Title 3 of Part 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure, notwithstanding Section 1141.11 of that code.

Exhibit 2: Page 1 of 2

LOCATION MAP AND EXISTING CONDITIONS: STEVENSON PARK FENCING

Exhibit 2: Page 2 of 2

CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, January 20, 2026, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 22. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Michael Whittiker, Community Services Director CS Community Services Subject: CONSIDER APPROVING AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO EXTEND THE CONTRACT SERVICESAGREEMENT WITH DAVEY COACH SALES, LLC FOR ONE ADDITIONAL YEAR TO PROVIDE CONTINUEDBUS MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR SERVICES (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
On February 23, 2023, the City entered into a three-year contract with Davey Coach Sales, Inc. (now known as Davey Coach Sales, LLC, referred to in this report as “Davey Coach”) to provide maintenance and repair services for the City’s buses, including those used for the Carson Circuit transit service. The original contract had a total cost of $180,000 over the three-year term (see Exhibit 1). The contract also included two optional one-year extensions, which the City may choose to use if services are satisfactory. Based on Davey Coach’s strong performance during the initial contract period, City staff is recommending approval of Amendment No. 1 (see Exhibit 2). This amendment would make several changes to the existing agreement including: extending the contract for one additional year by exercising the first of the two optional one-year extensions; increasing the total contract amount by $100,000, from $180,000 to $280,000, to cover anticipated maintenance and repair costs during the one-year extension; updating the hourly labor rate for bus repairs, diagnostics (troubleshooting and identifying mechanical issues), and mobile service from $125 per hour to $180 per hour. This increase reflects rising labor costs and cost-of-living adjustments since the original contract was approved; and, formally acknowledging a change in the vendor’s business structure, as Davey Coach has converted from a corporation to a limited liability company (LLC). This change does not affect the services provided or the City’s contractual protections.

If approved by the City Council, the proposed Amendment No. 1 would take effect on February 23, 2026, extend the contract through February 22, 2027, and authorize an additional $100,000 for continued bus maintenance and repair services. These services are essential to keeping the City’s bus fleet safe, reliable, and in good working condition for the community.

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. APPROVE the proposed Amendment No. 1 to the existing Contract Services Agreement between the City of Carson and Davey Coach Sales, LLC, which would extend the agreement for one additional year and update the contract terms as described in this report; and,

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
The City of Carson provides residents and commuters with a safe and convenient fixed-route bus service through the Carson Circuit program. A fixed-route service means buses travel along set routes on a regular schedule. City bus drivers operate two routes, Monday through Friday, with buses arriving approximately every 40 minutes during the morning (7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.) and afternoon (2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.) commute periods. The Carson Circuit is intended to supplement, or add to, other transit services already available in and around the City. These include bus service provided through the City’s agreement with Long Beach Transit, as well as services operated by nearby agencies such as Torrance Transit and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA).

To operate the Carson Circuit, the City primarily uses two battery-electric buses, which are cleaner and quieter than traditional diesel buses. The City also maintains three back-up buses (two diesel buses and one compressed natural gas (CNG) bus) to ensure service can continue if a primary bus is out of service for maintenance or repairs. Some bus maintenance and repair work can be completed by City staff; however, more specialized repairs must be performed by off-site professional vendors. For this reason, on February 23, 2023, the City entered into a three-year Contract Services Agreement with Davey Coach Sales to provide bus maintenance and repair services.

The original agreement included two optional one-year extensions, which the City may choose to use if the vendor’s performance remains satisfactory. Since 2023, the vendor’s standard public labor rate has increased from $125 per hour to $200 per hour, largely due to rising labor and cost-of-living expenses. After discussions with City staff, Davey Coach has agreed to provide services at a reduced rate of $180 per hour for the first one-year extension and $190 per hour for the second extension, should it be approved in the future.

In addition, the City recently added two new electric buses to its fleet. As the fleet grows, maintenance and repair needs are expected to increase. To account for these higher service demands and rising costs, staff is requesting an increase in the total contract amount by $100,000, raising the total contract value from $180,000 to $280,000.

Finally, Davey Coach has changed its business structure from a corporation (Davey Coach, Inc.) to a limited liability company (Davey Coach Sales, LLC). This change did not affect ownership or operations. The proposed amendment formally recognizes this change and transfers the contract to the updated business entity.

Consequently, staff is requesting City Council approval of the proposed Amendment No. 1 to the contract in order to exercise the first one-year extension of the agreement; increase the total contract amount by $100,000 to cover anticipated maintenance and repair costs during the extension period; update the hourly labor rate in accordance with the negotiated rates described above; and, approve the transfer of the contract from Davey Coach, Inc. to Davey Coach Sales, LLC. If approved, the amendment would take effect on February 23, 2026, extend the contract through February 22, 2027, and authorize continued bus maintenance and repair services for the Carson Circuit at a cost not to exceed $280,000.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
If the City Council approves the recommendation, funding for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2025-26 (from February 23, 2026 through June 30, 2026) is already included in the City’s adopted budget. This portion of the cost is estimated at approximately $33,333 and will be paid from Proposition A funds, which are county transportation funds used to support transit services. Funding for the remaining portion of the one-year contract extension (from July 1, 2026 through February 22, 2027) will be included in the City’s proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 operating budget in the estimated amount of $66,666. In total, the cost of the first one-year contract extension is $100,000, all of which is planned for within existing and proposed budget allocations.
