However, pursuant to a broader business initiative, we are centralizing contracts and accounts to a new business entity called Johnson Controls Building Solutions, LLC (the Company).
The Company is a Delaware limited liability company that earns income subject to U.S. tax. Like the current Johnson Controls, Inc. structure, you can make payments to Johnson Controls Building Solutions, LLC for products and services.
You do not have to withhold tax.
For U.S. tax purposes, the Company is a single member LLC owned by a Swiss company in the Johnson Controls family (Tyco Technology GmbH). Therefore, the Company must now provide to you a Form W-8ECI instead of a Form W-9 to support the above noted withholding tax result.
Understanding Form W-8ECI:
The Form W-8ECI certifies that the income earned by the Company is taxed in the United States. This form ensures that you are not required to withhold tax on payments made to us, like the previous arrangement under Form W-9. The language below is taken directly from the Form W-8ECI instructions.
Implications for your reporting:
1. As you make payments to Johnson Controls Building Solutions, LLC, and if a 1042-S is required, then please ensure the 1042-S is issued to Tyco Technology GmbH.
2. Payments made to the Company are not subject to either IRS backup withholding or non -resident alien (NRA) withholding. This means you are not required to withhold any portion of the payment for tax purposes.
Additional Guidance:
You may have noticed that the Form W-8ECI lists the name of Tyco Technology GmbH on line 1 and its corresponding EIN (98-1647226). Johnson Controls Building Solutions, LLC is listed on line 2 of the Form (as directed by the IRS).
For cross-reference purposes within your AP systems, we have also listed the Company’s EIN (83-2862704) on line 2 of the Form W-8ECI.
Please note that the address listed on the Form W-8ECI line 6 represents the formal location of the Company’s operational address and office.
If you have further questions, please consult your corporate tax team to ensure compliance with these requirements.

materials that may qualify as “works made for hire” as
defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, such documents and materials are hereby deemed “works made for hire” for the City…
-19- 01007.0001/644685.1
This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions -20- 01007.0001/644685.1
concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Los Angeles, State of California.
7.2 Disputes; Default.
In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default.
This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Consultant’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.
7.3 Retention of Funds.
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, costs, 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 ; provided, however, that no retention may be withheld from amounts payable under written orders issued pursuant to Section 1 . 8 or Section 1.5. 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. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.
7.4 Waiver.
Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.
Acceptance by City of any work or services by Consultant shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.
Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement. -21- 01007.0001/644685.1
7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.
Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.
7.6 Legal Action.
In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement.

This Section shall govern any termination of this Agreement except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Consultant, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Consultant, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, Consultant may terminate this Agreement if and only if all of the following criteria are met: (i) City is in default under the terms of this Agreement; (ii) Consultant has given City thirty (30) days’ written notice (or longer, if circumstances warrant) of the default and the reasons for the default; and (iii) City has failed to cure the default within said cure period. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer.

In the event the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of City’s termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the City need not provide the Consultant with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.8 Suspension and Termination for Non-Payment. Consultant may suspend performance of services by written notice to City if City fails to pay any undisputed amounts when due. If such failure continues for thirty (30) days after Consultant’s written notice of non-payment, Consultant may terminate this Agreement by written notice to City.
7.9 Termination for Default of Consultant.
If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and Deleted: and for
-22- 01007.0001/644685.1

damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.
7.10 Attorneys’ Fees.

Attorney’s fees shall include attorney’s fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney’s fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation.

from and against all
third party claims arising

duct of Contractor or its agents, officers or employees in fulfilling its obligations under this Agre
ement
, except such loss or damage which is caused by the
sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the City.
If Contractor is not the prevailing party,
then
Contractor shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against the City (and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers) with respect to claims determined by a trier of fact to have been the result of the Contractor’s negligent, reckless or wrong ful performance. It is expressly
understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are i ntended to be as broad and inclusive as
is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this Agreement.
Contractor represents and warrants that it owns or is otherwise authorized to grant City the right to use, all intellectual property rights
associated with
Contractor
’s provision and City’s
use of, the services
, and agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City and pay all damages (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to any third party claim, demand, cause of action, or proceedings (whether threatened, asserted, or filed) (“IP Claims”) again st City to the
extent that such IP Claims are
based upon the City’s use of the services (excluding third party products) directly infringing a United States patent, registered United States copyright, or registered United States trademark, provided that such use is in compliance with this Agreement.
The indemnity obligation shall be binding on successors and assigns of Contractor and shall survive termination of this Agreement
.
Products and equipment (collectively, “Products
”
) provided under this Agreement are
commercial, off
-
the
-
shelf Products, or software, and no aspect of the Products, software, or intellectual property (“IP”) shall be considered a “work made for hire” or otherwise affect Contractors ownership of IP in the
Contractor provided products or Contractor provided
software.
Nothing in the Agreement permits City or beneficiary’s (e.g., building owner) use of IP in the Products for any purpose other than operating, repairing, servicing the Products. Any software prov
ided by Contractor remains subject to
any exisrting
associated terms, EULA, or
recurring SaaS subscriber Agreement.
In the event of any IP Claims, or in Contractor’s opinion is likely to occur, Contractor shall at its option and expense and with prior notice to City: (a) modify the services to be non -
infringing;
or (b) obtain for City the right to use the services as se t out in this Agreement at no cost to City.
-
19 -
01007.0006 2122786.7
Contractor’s options set forth in this paragraph, whether or not exercised, shall in no way eliminate, reduce, curtail or abridge Contractor’s obligations to indemnify and defend City in the event of any IP Claims.
Contractor shall have no liability hereunder for any claim of intellectual property infringement based on the combination, operation or use of the services with software, hardware or other materials not furnished or approved in writing by Contractor if suc h infringement would
have been avoided without such software, hardware or other materials.
In the event of an alleged
patent or copyright infringement, Contractor will indemnify City, however Contractor retains the right, at its option, to: i) make the pr
oduct non
-
infringing, ii) replace the infringing product, or iii) on return of the equipment, Contractor will refund amounts paid by the City to Contractor for the infringing product, less depreciation over a three (3) year period. The foregoing will not a pply to
patent or copyright infringements caused by: (i) misuse or modification of the product by City or its employees, agents, or downstream customers, (ii) use of the product in combination with other materials, goods, products or services for which the
product was not intended to be used (as
demonstrated by applicable product literature), (iii) failure of City to implement any update provided by Contractor that would have prevented the claim, or
(iv) product that Contractor made
to City’s specifications or designs.
The City may not directly or indirectly through any third parties attempt to
reverse
-
engineer
or de
-
compile the operation of the services in any manner through current or future available technologies.
Contractor obligations under this section apply regardless of whether or not such claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost, expense, judgment, civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to by an Indemnitee. However, without
affecting the rights of City under any provision of this Agreement, Contractor shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless City for liability attributable to the active negligence of City, provided such active negligen
ce is determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In instances where City is shown to have been actively negligent and where City’s active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability i
nvolved, the obligation of Contractor will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of City.

INVOICE FORM
CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, May 5, 2026, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 26. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nathan Freeman, Director of Community and Economic Development CD Planning Subject: CONSIDER ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 26-048 FURTHER EXTENDING THE TIMELINEFOR COMPLIANCE ON THE PART OF SOUTH BAY CARSON, LLC & SYWEST DEVELOPMENT, LLC, WITHTHE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 940-13, RELOCATION REVIEW NO.3047-13 & RESOLUTION NO. 13-099, AND AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 24-113 REGARDING VEHICLESTORAGE FACILITIES LOCATED ON THAT CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY WHOSE COMMON STREETADDRESS IS 20151 SOUTH MAIN STREET (APN 7336-004-016), CITY OF CARSON (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
Presented for City Council consideration is Resolution No. 26-048, requesting approval of a fourth extension for SyWest Development, LLC and South Bay Carson, LLC to maintain compliance with Conditional Use Permit No. 940-13, Relocation Review No.3047-13 and Resolution No. 13-099 (collectively, the “Original CUP”), which permitted, for an initial term of four (4) calendar years, the use of an approximately 24.65 acre site previously used as an organic refuse landfill, drive-in theater and auto auction, located at 20151 South Main Street, Carson, California.
The City Council previously approved three extension of time requests in 2022, 2023, and 2024. The current compliance period ends on June 1, 2026, per the previously approved Resolution No. 24-113 which extended the compliance period in December 2024.
On July 20, 2020, SyWest submitted an application for development of the Property, which included a General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan and related entitlements (e.g., Development Agreement, tentative parcel map, site plan and design review). Per the proposed Resolution, Sywest must comply with the Original CUP for the extended time of June 1, 2028, or earlier if the development applications are approved by the City and construction of the development is ready to commence.
II. RECOMMENDATION
WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Resolution No. 26-048, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, FURTHER EXTENDING THE TIMELINE FOR COMPLIANCE ON THE PART
OF SOUTH BAY CARSON, LLC & SYWEST DEVELOPMENT, LLC, WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 940-13, RELOCATION REVIEW NO. 3047-13 & RESOLUTION NO. 13-099, AND AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 24-113 REGARDING VEHICLE STORAGE FACILITIES LOCATED ON THAT CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY WHOSE COMMON STREET ADDRESS IS 20151 SOUTH MAIN STREET (APN 7336-004-016), CITY OF CARSON."
III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE such other and further actions as the City Council deems appropriate consistent with the requirements of law.
IV. BACKGROUND
In 2013, South Bay Carson, LLC and SyWest Development, LLC (collectively “SyWest”), acting on behalf of Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company of Los Angeles, LLC (“Enterprise”), applied for and were granted Conditional Use Permit No. 940-13, Relocation Review No. 3047-13 and Resolution No. 13-099 (the “Original CUP”), which permitted, for an initial term of four (4) calendar years, the use of an approximately 24.65 acre site previously used as an organic refuse landfill, drive-in theater and auto auction, located at 20151 South Main Street, Carson, California (the “Property”), for the storage of rental cars, including as a regional rental car storage hub, and the relocation of certain modular office buildings on that portion of the Property zoned ML-ORL-D.
Interim Urgency Ordinance Nos. 15-1575U and 16-1578U (collectively, the “Stadium Moratorium”) enacted a moratorium on the establishment, expansion, modification, or new development within the six (6) planning study areas within the City of Carson. SyWest requested an extension of the Original CUP beyond October 21, 2017 and further requested that such extension of the Original CUP be deemed subject to the “exemption” provision(s) of the Stadium Moratorium (the “CUP Extension Request”). The Original CUP required that SyWest would, within three (3) years of approval of the CUP, enter into an agreement with the appropriate environmental regulatory agency (“Environmental Regulatory Agency” or “ERA”) to commence steps necessary to support the cleanup and reuse of the Property for new development. Staff had contended that SyWest failed or refused to comply with this condition of the Original CUP. SyWest requested additional time to complete this task concurrently with the City’s update to its General Plan (the “ERA Dispute”). SyWest has contended and advised staff that in order to fulfill this remediation condition of the Original CUP, a proposed plan for redevelopment and long-term use of the Property is required to first be processed, considered and approved by the City, and SyWest and the City desired to confirm how this ERA Dispute would be addressed moving forward.
The Original CUP also required SyWest to develop, implement, and maintain a landscaping plan to assure an aesthetically appropriate appearance surrounding the Property. Staff contended that certain areas of the existing landscaping around the Property were in disrepair and needed to be replaced, and SyWest requested additional time to complete this task (“Landscape Dispute”).
City and SyWest desired to fully and finally resolve the ERA Dispute, the Landscape Dispute, and the CUP Extension Request (collectively the “Disputes”), to avoid litigation arising out of such Disputes, and in furtherance of that objective, on September 5, 2017, and May 5, 2020, respectively, the City Council adopted Resolution 17-120 and Resolution 20-081, respectively (“Compliance Resolutions”), which served as an attempt to effectuate the foregoing, and which also extended the compliance period under the Original CUP until October 31, 2021 (“Compliance Period”). The Compliance Resolution required Sywest to make a series of deposits and payments with the City against which City is permitted to deduct for various reasons.
SyWest submitted an application on or about July 20, 2020, for development of the property. The application includes a request for a General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan and related entitlements (e.g., Development Agreement, tentative parcel map, site plan and design review) (“Proposed Entitlements”) for development of a major retailer (“New Retailer”). Sywest has also addressed the Landscape Dispute by continuing to maintain the landscaping by a professional landscape company and replacing the landscaping if it is deemed unhealthy by the landscape maintenance company; generally, the appearance of the landscaping is acceptable.
On November 3, 2021, to accommodate SyWest’s request and in furtherance of possible development of the Property, the City Council approved Resolution 21-142, which, like the Compliance Resolutions, was adopted to finally resolve any Disputes and document the resolution of the same as well as to extend the compliance date of the Original CUP by one additional year to October 31, 2022, to provide SyWest time to secure the Proposed Entitlements from the City and obtain building permits by going through the plan check process and allow for beneficial use of the Property during that period.
On July 19, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. 22-148 approving a First Amendment to Extended Compliance Resolution further amending the Extended Compliance Period until no later than June 1, 2024, and authorizing SyWest to use the Property for the Temporary Parking Use (consisting of parking of Sprinter Vans and new and used cars) during the Second Extended Compliance Period. To support the use regarding parking of new and used cars, the resolution further authorizes the following incidental uses: (a) access and operation (e.g., loading, unloading, long term parking) by car carriers accessing the Property from Figueroa Street; (b) installation and use of temporary structures, including, without limitation, mobile storage units, canopies, sanitary services (i.e., portable toilets), and modular offices; and (c) the direct-to-consumer delivery of new or used cars between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. seven (7) days per week.
On November 21, 2023, the City Council approved Resolution No. 23-187 approving a Second Amendment to Extended Compliance Resolution further amending the Extended Compliance Period until no later than June 1, 2025, and authorizing the use of the Property for the Temporary Parking Use during the Extended Compliance Period.
On December 3, 2024, the City Council approved Resolution No. 24-113 approving a Third Amendment to Extended Compliance Resolution further amending the Extended Compliance Period until no later than June 1, 2026, and authorizing the use of the Property for the Temporary Parking Use during the Extended Compliance Period.
Now, to allow time for the Application to be processed and for the Temporary Parking Use on the Property to continue, SyWest is requesting an additional extension and an amendment to Resolution No. 24-113 to maintain compliance with the Original CUP. This extension would extend the compliance deadline to June 1, 2028, or until the Proposed Entitlements are finally approved and construction can commence, whichever occurs first (“Extended Compliance Period”).
SyWest continues to work with City staff and the environmental consultant to process the Proposed Entitlements and related environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). During this time, SyWest proposes to continue parking Sprinter Vans and new and used cars. SyWest requested this extension well in advance to provide existing tenants with certainty regarding their continued occupancy of the Property. Without this extension, tenants may be required to terminate their leases and seek longer-term alternatives.
The resolution approving such extension requires SyWest to remit to the City an annual Heavy Vehicle Transit Fee of $10,778 for every acre of the Property used for the Sprinter Van and new and used car parking and related operations during the term of the Extended Compliance Period.
Also under the Extended Compliance Resolution, SyWest will be required to (i) comply with all remaining conditions of approval in the Original CUP, including, but not limited to, the landscape and operations provisions of the same, to the reasonable satisfaction of the City; and (ii) continue to diligently seek to secure the Proposed Entitlements from the City.
It should also be noted that a Reimbursement Agreement signed by Sywest and executed November 5, 2024, is on record, which will require Sywest to pay for all City costs and fees associated with the Extended Compliance Resolution and any development of the Property.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed resolution commits SyWest to pay the Heavy Vehicle Transit Fee. Additionally, SyWest has separately entered into a reimbursement agreement with the City to fully reimburse the City its costs, including staff time, if any, and legal time in negotiating and documenting the extension provided by the resolution and all fees and costs associated with any development of the Property. As a consequence, there will be no direct costs to the City’s General Fund.

In consideration of the Fourth Extended Compliance Period and resolution of the Disputes, by no later than February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each year during the Fourth Extended Compliance Period (the “Remittance Date”), SyWest shall pay to City as follows for the Temporary Parking Use:
1. For the Sprinter Van Operations and Car Operations, SyWest will remit an annual Heavy Vehicle Transit Fee of Ten Thousand Seven Hundred Seventy-Eight Dollars ($10,778) for every acre of the Property used for such purposes during the term of the Fourth Extended Compliance Period, reflecting compensation to the City for the Temporary Parking Use attributable to the Sprinter Van Operations and Car Operations.
The amount of any payment remitted by SyWest shall be based upon the portion of Property shown on the site plan as being used for the Sprinter Van Operations and Car Operations such that the amount of any such installment and total payment of the Heavy Vehicle Transit Fee shall be assessed and paid on a prorata basis. By way of example only, should only 9 of the total 24 acres of the Property be used on the Remittance Date for Sprinter Van Operations and Car Operations, the quarterly payment by SyWest on the Remittance Date shall be ($10,778.00 / 4) x 9 acres, (or $24,250.50 for such period).
SyWest shall provide a site plan to the Planning Division to designate the areas of the site that will be occupied. If the designated areas to be used are modified, a revised site plan shall be filed with the Planning Division. SyWest’s quarterly payment will include any increase or decrease in the Heavy Vehicle Fee due to the City for increased or decreased use of the Property since the last quarterly payment made to the City.
2. Should this Resolution be extended pursuant to Section 3.A above, SyWest shall pay a prorated amount of the Heavy Vehicle Transit Fee based on the acres used for such extended time and months by which the extension is authorized. Such installment shall be paid on the first day of the month following each three (3) month period following the extension of the Fourth Extended Compliance.
D. In the event that the Property stops being used for the Temporary Parking Use prior to the Fourth Extended Compliance Deadline, the payments required herein above will abate effective as of the date of cessation of the Temporary Parking Use, but only if there is a complete cessation of any and all use of the Property for Temporary Parking Use. Otherwise, cessation of use of the Property for either the Sprinter Van and/or Car Operations shall not abate the SyWest payment obligations set forth hereinabove.
Section 4. City’s Right to Enforcement; Miscellaneous Provisions.
A. Subject to the City’s election, in its sole and unfettered discretion, to extend the Fourth Extended Compliance Deadline, should SyWest fail to meet the Fourth Extended Compliance Deadline, SyWest shall pay a delinquent departure penalty in the amount of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) per day for each day of delayed departure beyond the Fourth Extended Compliance Deadline which departure penalty City may unilaterally withdraw from the Holdover Deposit.
B. In the event that any provision of this Resolution is declared invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the entire Resolution shall be null and void and shall subject SyWest to such enforcement action(s) as well as such other legal remedies as may be afforded the City by law.
C. In the event the City is required to take action to enforce this Resolution, or in the event this Resolution is declared invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable by the court of competent jurisdiction and the City is required to commence an enforcement proceeding(s) against SyWest, the City shall be reimbursed by SyWest for all costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in such action or enforcement proceeding(s).
D. In the event that any claim or litigation is filed to challenge any provision of this Resolution (“Litigation Challenge”), the payment obligations of SyWest under this Resolution shall be tolled and delayed for a period of time equal to the time any such “Litigation Challenge” is pending. If a “Litigation Challenge” is pending on the date that any payment is due and payable under this Resolution, SyWest shall deposit the entire amount due and payable into a separate interest-bearing account (“Escrow Account”) with the City. Within thirty (30) days following the final resolution of any “Litigation Challenge,” SyWest shall authorize, in writing, City to withdraw all funds in the Escrow Account and credit the same against any unpaid annual 2024, 2025, 2026 2027, or 2028 Heavy Vehicle Transit Fee owed by SyWest as a result of the Property’s use for Temporary Parking Uses during the pendency of such “Litigation Challenge” (provided any balance thereafter remaining is returned by City to SyWest within ten (10) days thereof).
E. During the term of this Resolution and Fourth Extended Compliance Period, SyWest shall pay to the City all normal and customary fees and charges applicable to all permits necessary for the use, and any taxes, fees, and charges imposed by City in connection with the use which are standard and uniformly applied to similar entities in the City.
Section 6. Resolution Exempt from CEQA.
A. The City Council finds and determines that this Resolution is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption, Existing Facilities, pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines.
B. The City Council further finds and determines that this Resolution is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act as a Class 21 Categorical Exemption, Enforcement Actions by Regulatory Agencies, pursuant to Section 15321 of the CEQA Guidelines.

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, May 5, 2026, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 27. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nathan Freeman, Director of Community and Economic Development CD Administration Subject: CONSIDER APPOINTMENT A PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY MEMBER FOR THE CARSONENHANCED INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING DISTRICT (EIFD) (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
The Public Financing Authority (PFA) serves as the governing board of the Carson Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD), a financing mechanism established by the City of Carson in partnership with the County of Los Angeles in 2022. The EIFD is widely regarded as one of the most significant post-redevelopment financing tools available today, enabling local jurisdictions to reinvest property tax increment growth into long-term community priorities. Through this collaboration, both agencies contribute their respective property tax increments to support investments in affordable housing, environmental remediation, and public infrastructure.
The PFA is responsible for all actions of the EIFD, including the issuance of bonds and oversight of financing activities. In accordance with the EIFD Bylaws, the Authority Board consists of five members: two City Council members, one member of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors or their designee, and two public members, one appointed by the City Council and one appointed by the County Board of Supervisors. Public members serve at the pleasure of their respective appointing bodies and remain in office until successors are appointed.
Staff recommends the appointment of Adam Duvendeck to fill the current City-appointed public member vacancy on the PFA. Mr. Duvendeck is the new General Manager of Dignity Health Sports Park, succeeding Katie Pandolfo, who previously served in both roles and has since departed for a promotional opportunity.
II. RECOMMENDATION
APPOINT Mr. Adam Duvendeck as a public member to the Carson Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) Public Financing Authority (PFA)
III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE any other action Council deems appropriate consistent with the law.
IV. BACKGROUND
EIFD Overview
Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFDs) are authorized under California Government Code Section 53398 et seq. and provide local agencies with a tool to finance a broad range of public infrastructure and development-related improvements.
The Carson EIFD encompasses approximately 1,735 acres, representing roughly 14 percent of the City, and includes key commercial, industrial, and redevelopment opportunity areas. The EIFD was established to facilitate strategic investment in infrastructure that supports economic development, environmental sustainability, and improved quality of life for residents and businesses.
Eligible projects within the EIFD may include, but are not limited to:
Environmental remediation and brownfield cleanup;
Affordable housing and related supportive infrastructure Economic development and community serving amenities of regional significance and more.
The EIFD does not impose new taxes. Instead, it captures a portion of future growth in property tax revenues (tax increment) from participating taxing entities, including the City and County, to finance eligible improvements identified in the Infrastructure Financing Plan (IFP).
The Carson Public Financing Authority (PFA) is a separate governing body responsible for administering the EIFD, including adoption and implementation of the IFP, approval of projects, and authorization of bond issuances. The PFA is required to include members of the legislative body as well as at least two members of the public to ensure community representation.
Staff Recommendation - Appointment of Adam Duvendeck
Filling the current public member vacancy is necessary to maintain compliance with State law and ensure the PFA remains fully constituted to carry out its responsibilities. A complete PFA is essential as the City continues to advance infrastructure investment strategies through the EIFD. The vacancy was posted in accordance with the Maddy Act from April 2 through April 13, 2026.
Adam Duvendeck brings over 15 years of experience with AEG and currently serves as General Manager of Dignity Health Sports Park, one of the City’s major regional assets. He oversees complex operations, large-scale events, and coordination with public and private stakeholders.
Mr. Duvendeck is also engaged with the City through multiple initiatives and serves as an advisor to the City’s Active Transportation Plan, supporting mobility and infrastructure planning efforts. Prior to his work with AEG, he competed as a professional athlete in two Olympic Games, reflecting strong discipline and leadership experience.
Based on his professional background and community involvement, staff recommends the appointment of Mr.
Duvendeck to the PFA as a public member.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this appointment. Service on the PFA is voluntary and uncompensated. However, maintaining a fully constituted PFA supports the City’s ability to effectively implement the EIFD and pursue infrastructure financing opportunities.

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, May 5, 2026, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 25. 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 CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITHMOUR GROUP FOR FACADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM DESIGN & ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES (CITYCOUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
The Community and Economic Development Department is implementing the City’s 2023 Economic Development Strategic Plan, which prioritizes business retention, attraction, and expansion. In support of these efforts, the City entered into an agreement with Mour Group Engineering + Design Inc. (Mour) on July 1, 2023, to provide on-call design and architectural services for the City's Façade Improvement Program, with a not-to-exceed amount of $200,000.
Following Council approval of the first round of funding on May 7, 2024, several projects were advanced, and the majority of the contract funds have been expended. The City is now preparing to launch a second round of funding, including three additional projects, and has established a commercial facade revolving loan fund to support larger- scale facade improvements. Demand for these services is expected to grow as the City prepares for LA28.
To ensure continued program delivery, staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 1 to increase the Mour contract by $500,000.
II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following action:
1. CONSIDER approval of Amendment No.1 for Mour Group Engineering + Design, Inc. to add $500,000 for the Commercial Façade Improvement Program; and,
2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute the contract after approval as to form by the City Attorney.
III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate.
IV. BACKGROUND
On June 20, 2023, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Mour to provide architectural services in support of the City’s Commercial Façade Improvement Program (“Program”). Since that time, Mour has been assisting Program participants by preparing concept designs, architectural plans, and related materials necessary to facilitate façade improvement projects throughout the City.
The Commercial Facade Improvement Program provides Carson business and property owners with matching grants to improve storefronts and attract new visitors to the City’s major commercial corridors. Under the Program, tenants and/or property owners may qualify for reimbursement grants ranging from $2,500 to $25,000 for storefront aesthetic improvements. A dollar-for-dollar match is required for amounts exceeding $2,500. For owners of multi- tenant centers, the maximum grant is $250,000 based on a minimum eligible expenditure of $497,500 on exterior improvements, subject to additional Program requirements. The Program officially launched in late 2022.
Since implementation of the Program, demand for architectural assistance has exceeded initial projections. Many applicants and prospective applicants lack the resources or technical expertise to retain private architectural services for facade improvement projects. As contemplated in the Program guidelines adopted by City Council on June 17, 2022, pursuant to Resolution No. 22-131, the City may provide complimentary design assistance to eligible applicants. Mour’s services have proven instrumental in facilitating applicant participation and advancing high-quality design outcomes consistent with City objectives.
Accordingly, staff recommends amending the existing Professional Services Agreement with Mour to increase compensation and extend available funding for continued architectural and landscape architectural services associated with future façade improvement projects under the Program.
Scope of Services
Mour will continue to provide architectural and landscape architectural assistance in support of the Program, including development of conceptual designs and plans for facade improvements, site design enhancements related to parking lot and landscaping improvements, and other eligible exterior property upgrades. Services include preliminary design consultation, preparation of architectural and construction drawings, assistance with permitting, and construction-phase support as needed.
Continuation of these services through Mour allows the City to maintain consistency and quality control over Program design implementation, while ensuring façade improvements align with broader City objectives, including the Carson 2040 Community Character and Design Element and the City’s Economic Development Strategic Plan.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of Amendment No. 1 with Mour Group Engineering + Design, Inc. will allocate an additional $500,000 from General Ledger Account No. 101-70-701-101-6004 for the contract term through 2028. Funding will be expended across multiple fiscal years. Because the approved mid-year budget adjustment included an increase in appropriations for this account, there is no additional budget impact associated with this action.

CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, May 5, 2026, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 29. 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 CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITHNEWMARK OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, INC., TO CONTINUE PROVIDING REAL ESTATE BROKERAGESERVICES AND INCREASING THE TOTAL CONTRACT SUM TO $173,500 FOR ONE ADDITIONAL YEAR (CITYCOUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
On July 8, 2025, the City Manager executed a Contract Services Agreement with Newmark of Southern California, Inc., to provide real estate broker services for the City for the term of one year and in the amount of $73,500.
Throughout the year, Newmark has assisted with various real estate transactions and continues to support the City's economic development efforts by providing market information, developer correspondence, and various property appraisal and title research tasks. The current Contract will expire in June 2026 and the balance is nearly fully expended. As the City continues to focus on redeveloping certain parts of the community, staff has determined that the current contract amount is insufficient to meet ongoing and anticipated demand.
Staff now recommends approval of Amendment No. 1, increasing the contract amount by $100,000 ($15,000 in FY 2025-26 and $85,000 in FY 2026-27) for a revised contract total of $173,500; with contract amendment term expiring on June 30, 2027.
II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:
1. APPROVE Amendment No. 1 to the Contract Services Agreement with Newmark of Southern California, Inc., to continue providing real estate brokerage services and increasing the the total contract sum to $173,500, for one additional year; and,
2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 1 following approval as to form by the City Attorney.
III. ALTERNATIVES
1. DO NOT APPROVE the proposed amendment.
2. TAKE another action as deemed appropriate by the City Council, consistent with applicable laws and procedures.
IV. BACKGROUND
Newmark of Southern California, Inc., entered into a Contract Services Agreement with the City at the start of the fiscal year to provide the City with
real estate broker services in connection with the City's acquisition and disposition of various real property types in the City of Carson. Per the original scope of work, services were to include, but not be limited to:
Assisting the City in the due diligence aspect of property valuation, marketing, and sale or leasing of property to potential developers
Drafting Letters of Intent for purchase or leasing of the chosen real estate properties Providing advice concerning deal points in the negotiation and preparation of the Purchase and Sale Agreements, and being responsible for all aspects of the negotiation Providing comparable sales reports which will be provided to and reviewed with the City and its stakeholders via telephone conference or in person as it meets the needs of the City Notifying City of all purchase and lease offers made by eligible buyers or tenants by no later than twenty four hours within receipt of offer when feasible and in no event later than one calendar day after receipt In the current fiscal year, Newmark has assisted the City with various real property transactions that have drawn down on the current contract amount, leaving a small balance for services through June 30, 2026. If approved, the amendment would provide a small supplement of funds for the remainder of the fiscal year. Additionally, staff is recommending an extension of Newmark's services for next fiscal year to provide the same scope of work, beginning July 1, 2026; for an additional year. Staff is forecasting a need for these services in light of anticipated economic and community development activity next year.
Section 2611(m)(3) of the Carson Municipal Code (“CMC”) provides that any proposed amendment to a contract exceeding $75,000 requires solicitation unless the amendment concerns a change order under Section 2601(d) of the CMC in which event bidding will not be required irrespective of the amount of the change order. Given the aggregate contract amount exceeding the City Manager authority, execution of the amendment requires City Council approval.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
If the proposed Amendment No. 1 is approved, the contract services with Newmark of Southern California, Inc. will be increased by $100,000, resulting in a new not-to-exceed contract amount of $173,500. Of the total amendment amount, $15,000 will be utilized during the current Fiscal Year 2025–26 from Account No. 101-70-701-101-6004 within the adopted budget. The remaining $85,000 will be budgeted in Fiscal Year 2026–27 in account 101-70-730- 101-6004 as this will serve as the new G/L due to new division being created .

7.2 Disputes: Default.
In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default.
This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Consultant9s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City9s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement. 73 Retention of Funds.
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, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant9s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant9s 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. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.
7.4 Waiver.
Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.
Acceptance by City of any work or services by Consultant shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.
Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement. 01007.0572 2004243.2 -13-

This Section shall govern any termination of this Agreement except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days9 written notice to Consultant, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Consultant, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, Consultant may terminate this Agreement if and only if all of the following criteria are met: (i) City is in default under the terms of this Agreement; (ii) Consultant has given City thirty (30) days9 written notice (or longer, if circumstances warrant) of the default and the reasons for the default; and (iii) City has failed to cure the default within said cure period. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer.

In the event of City9s termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the City need not provide the Consultant with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.

If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney9s fees. Attorney9s fees shall include attorney9s fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney9s fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation.

B. City and Consultant have identified the need for continued Services at a rate that is higher than was anticipated at the time the Parties entered into the Agreement, resulting in the Parties needing to amend the approved Contract Sum by $ 100,000.00 thereby increasing the Contract Sum to $173,500.00.

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
CONSENT 30. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nathan Freeman, Director of Community and Economic Development CD Administration Subject: CONSIDER ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 26-044, A RESOLUTION REVISING COMMERCIALFAÇADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM GUIDELINES (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
On June 21, 2022, the City Council established the Citywide Commercial Facade Improvement Program(“Program”) through adoption of Resolution No. 22-131 and appropriated funding for the Program throughResolution No. 22-132. Since implementation of the Program, staff has worked with property owners and businessoperators throughout the City to facilitate facade improvements and commercial revitalization projects.
Based on staff experience administering the Program, staff has prepared revised Program Guidelines to clarifyeligibility requirements, improve the application and review process, better align the Program with current Cityplanning objectives, and establish additional flexibility for targeted commercial corridors.
The proposed revisions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Clarification that eligible properties must be lawfully developed and located within commercial, mixed-use, orother nonresidential zoning districts where commercial uses are permitted under the City’s current GeneralPlan and Zoning Ordinance;Clarification that commercial tenant spaces within mixed-use developments may participate whereimprovements are limited to the commercial portion of the property;Clarification regarding reimbursable design, architectural, and permit costs;Expansion and clarification of eligible and ineligible uses of Program funds;Clarification of standards applicable to signage, code corrections, ADA improvements, and related exteriorrehabilitation work;Clarification of reimbursement and reapplication rules;Establishment of a special one-time no-match grant opportunity for eligible properties located along the northside of East Carson Street between Harbor View Avenue and Santa Fe Avenue; andAdministrative revisions to improve readability, consistency, and ease of Program implementation.
The proposed revised Program Guidelines is included under Exhibit No. 2.
II. RECOMMENDATION
WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Resolution No. 26-044, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, AMENDING THE GUIDELINES TO THE CITYWIDE COMMERCIAL FAÇADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM"
III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action as deemed appropriate by the City Council, consistent with applicable legal requirements.
IV. BACKGROUND
The Commercial Facade Improvement Program was adopted to facilitate commercial revitalization, stimulateprivate investment, preserve and beautify commercial corridors, improve the physical image of the City, andpromote shopping, tourism, and a more attractive pedestrian environment through facade and site improvements.
Since adoption of the Program, staff has worked directly with numerous applicants and has identified areas wherethe existing Guidelines could be clarified or improved. In particular, the original Guidelines did not clearly addressmixed-use projects, reapplication eligibility, funding priorities, design reimbursement requirements, or how staffshould prioritize limited Program funds. The existing Guidelines also contained references to outdated GeneralPlan language.
The proposed revisions are intended to address these issues while preserving the overall structure and purpose ofthe Program. The revised Guidelines continue to prioritize revitalization along Avalon Boulevard, Main Street,Sepulveda Boulevard, Carson Street, and Figueroa Street, while also allowing flexibility to support other heavilytraveled commercial corridors where appropriate.
In addition, the revised Guidelines establish a targeted corridor incentive for properties located along the north sideof East Carson Street between Harbor View Avenue and Santa Fe Avenue. Based on the concentration of agingcommercial properties, longstanding disinvestment, and the need to encourage visible improvements within thisarea, the revised Guidelines provide that eligible properties within this corridor may receive a one-time City grantwithout a matching contribution requirement, subject to available funding and approval. Staff believes this targetedapproach is appropriate to encourage initial participation and catalyze additional private investment in this corridor.
KEY REVISIONS
The principal revisions to the Program Guidelines are summarized below:
1. Eligibility Clarification
The revised Guidelines clarify that eligible properties must be lawfully developed and located within commercial, mixed-use, or other nonresidential zoning districts where commercial uses are permitted under the City’s current General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
2. Mixed-Use Development Eligibility
The revised Guidelines expressly allow commercial tenant spaces within mixed-use developments to participate in the Program where improvements are limited to the commercial portion of the project.
3. Funding Priorities and Selection Criteria
The revised Guidelines establish new criteria for prioritizing limited Program funds, including visibility, degree of blight, readiness to proceed, consistency with corridor revitalization goals, and economic revitalization benefits.
4. Grant Structure and Reapplication
The revised Guidelines clarify the distinction between the one-time no-match grant, matching grants, and larger grants for multi-tenant commercial centers. The revisions also clarify when a property may reapply for additional assistance.
5. East Carson Street Corridor Exception
The revised Guidelines establish a one-time no-match grant exception for eligible properties located along the north side of East Carson Street between Harbor View Avenue and Santa Fe Avenue.
6. Administrative and Formatting Revisions
The revised Guidelines include additional clarification regarding reimbursement procedures, design consultation, code compliance, signage improvements, and other implementation details. The revisions also improve organization and readability.
CEQA ANALYSIS
The proposed action consists of the adoption of revised administrative guidelines for an existing City program. The proposed action does not commit the City to any specific project or physical improvement and, therefore, is not a “project” under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines, as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that adoption of the revised Guidelines may have a significant effect on the environment.
Alternatively, to the extent the action could be considered a project, it is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (common sense exemption) and Section 15308 (actions by regulatory agencies for the protection of the environment). Future individual façade improvement projects funded under the Program will continue to be subject to project-specific CEQA review, as applicable, prior to approval or funding.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact. The proposed revisions do not appropriate additional funding or increase the total Programfunding previously authorized by the City Council. Instead, they clarify the administration of existing funds. Therevisions may increase Program participation and create additional demand for future funding. If additional fundingis needed, staff will return to the City Council with a separate appropriation request at a later date.

SECTION I - BACKGROUND AND LEGAL GUIDELINES
Background
The City of Carson Charter, Section 206, authorizes a comprehensive set of economic development incentives and programs to promote development given the unique environmental constraints in the City of Carson, to create jobs and to preserve the sound fiscal basis of the City. The City’s Charter powers include the authority to enter into agreements, and to loan, grant, fund, or finance projects which will provide public benefit and protect the public health, safety and welfare of the community, which programs may be carried out singly or in combination in a manner to promote the economic development objectives set forth in Section 206 of the Charter . Government Code Section 53803 authorizes the City to provide financial incentives to businesses to promote economic activity, including the assistance with commercial revitalization.
This Citywide Façade Improvement Program (“Program”) establishes a variety of specific goals for commercial development of the City of Carson as part of a citywide economic development strategy . These goals frame the near -term economic development objectives for the City during a period of significant change.
Many commercial corridors in Carson h ave lagged the progress recently made in the city’s core. Over the past 30 years, the City and former Redevelopment Agency have tried to incentivize development in the city through the creation of redevelopment project areas, with some success, but the overall vitality of the community was at a level that these were likely to see significant development activity only after other major projects were completed, such as the Former Cal Compact Landfill.
The focus of this program is commercial buildings and centers located along the following corridors : Avalon Boulevard, Main Street, Sepulveda Boulevard, Carson Street, and Figueroa Street. Commercial properties on other heavily traveled streets will be considered if they are near the intersections of the major streets.
Many of t hese areas were in former Project Areas of the former Redevelopment Agency, and under Redevelopment Law the Agency (or “RDA”) would have been able to undertake a number of the projects and programs described herein. However, all redevelopment agencies in California were dissolved under State Law in the 2011-2012 year.
The lesser economic vitality of the City’s commercial corridors has prompted the City to develop mechanisms to spur development in these key commercial areas.
On the north end, the lack of population density and appropriate retail development sites has made traditional retailing along Avalon Boulevard difficult. There is little non- restaurant “retail” in the stretch from the northern corporate limits to Del Amo Boulevard, with the exception of two “dollar” stores, a convenience store, a drug store, a liquor store, and a small handful of other shops. The growth in the area has been in housing,
CITY OF CARSON COMMERCIAL FAÇADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
4 4
particularly in the two communities developed along Victoria, but the traffic speeds and lack of pedestrian amenities along Avalon have made even restaurant businesses struggle.
The south end of Avalon also faces issues , especially with vacant and blighted properties near the Sepulveda Boulevard intersection. Main Street has some commercial centers but most of the commercial activity is at the major intersections of Lomita, Sepulveda, 223 rd, and Carson Street. Likewise, Figueroa has a small amount of commercial frontage with most of its activity at Sepulveda (Target), the Carson Street intersection and the shopping Center at Torrance Boulevard.
Finally, Carson Street remains the other signature commercial street in the city but is generally characterized by individual buildings or smaller shopping centers , except for grocery-anchored centers at Main Street and Avalon Boulevard. It also extends the full width of the city, from the 110 Freeway to Santa Fe Street.
The particular challenges along each of these corridors suggest the need for a multi- year incentive program.
Project Area Goals
For the purposes of the Program description, the goals for the commercial corridors are consolidated and summarized below.
Create a Stronger Local Economy. Strengthen the economic base of the corridors and the community at large by supporting needed site improvements and encouraging commercial investment, employment, and economic growth.
Establish financial mechanisms to assist and encourage commerci al development opportunities.
Improve Public Infrastructure and Services. Provide necessary public improvements, including but not limited to flood control facilities, street improvements, parking supply, and traffic circulation. Develop emergency, cultural, recreational, maintenance, operational, and other services and facilities.
Use Land Wisely. Encourage land assembly and site planning that support integrated development and improved pedestrian and vehicular circulation .
Promote investment in areas that are stagnant, underutilized, or otherwise in need of revitalization.
Eliminate Blight. Eliminate deteriorating buildings, incompatible and uneconomic land uses, and other environmental, economic, and social
CITY OF CARSON COMMERCIAL FAÇADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
5 5
deficiencies; improve the overall appearance of buildings, streets, parking areas, schools, and other facilities, and assure that all buildings are safe for people and businesses to occupy.
Protect and Enhance Community Character. Preserve architecturally, historically, and visually significant structures and sites , and promote urban design standards that enhance corridor identity, unity, and community character.
All economic development activities are pursued with the intention to seek communitywide benefits that create a more cohesive and unified community by strengthening the physical, social, and economic ties between various land uses. The City encourages community and property owner involvement and citizen participation in the adoption of policies, programs, and projects so as to ensure that the Economic Development Plans are implemented in accordance with the objectives and goals of the General Plan. As necessary, the City encourages the coordination, cooperation, and assistance of other local agencies to ensure that projects are implemented to their fullest and most practical extent.
The City may evaluate Program effectiveness on an annual basis using measures that include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Number of properties, storefronts, and tenant spaces improved through the Program;
• Total amount of City funds awarded and total amount of private matching funds leveraged;
• Number and extent of façade, signage, landscaping, lighting, and other site improvements completed;
• Number of properties where code -related deficiencies, nonconforming signage, or other blighting conditions were corrected;
• Reduction in long-term vacancies within priority commercial corridors; • Number of new or retained businesses operating at participating properties; • Amount of follow-on private investment associated with participating properties; • Geographic distribution of improvements among the City’s priority commercial corridors; and
• Degree to which completed projects advance the Program’s goals of commercial revitalization, improved community appearance, and corridor identity.

ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS:
Priority consideration shall be given to properties located along Avalon Boulevard, Main Street, Sepulveda Boulevard, Figueroa Street, and Carson Street, excluding the SouthBay Pavilion and other regional shopping mall properties unless specifically authorized by the Director based on a demonstrated public benefit. Properties on other major commercial corridors may also be considered where the project would provide significant visual, economic, or corridor revitalization benefits.
Properties located on the north side of East Carson Street between Harbor View Avenue and Santa Fe Avenue may be eligible for a corridor -specific one-time no-match grant, as set forth in Section II.
Buildings or structures eligible for rehabilitation under this Program must be lawfully developed and located within commercial, mixed -use, or other nonresidential zoning districts where commercial uses are permitted under the City’s current General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, as determined by the City. Residential uses are not eligible, except that commercial tenant spaces within mixed -use developments may qualify where the proposed improvements are limited to the commercial portion of the property.
Participation in this Program requires that the subject property is, and will continue to be, used for lawful commercial purposes in accordance with the City’s Zoning Ordinance.
All taxes, assessments, and insurance premiums currently due on the property must be paid before grant funds may be awarded. The property must also be adequately
CITY OF CARSON COMMERCIAL FAÇADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
8 8
insured, including fire and flood insurance where applicable, as necessary to protect the interests of the owner and the City.
For purposes of this Program, a “multi -tenant commercial center” means a unified commercial development under common ownership or management containing at least three separate tenant spaces operating or intended to operate as an integrated center.
Individual buildings with only two tenant spaces shall not qualify for the multi -tenant center funding category unless the Director determines that the property functions as a commercial center of comparable scale and visibility.
GRANT AMOUNTS AND MATCHING REQUIREMENT:
A. Small Project Grant. Eligible applicants may receive reimbursement of up to $2,500 with no matching contribution required. This no -match grant is intended as a one -time funding opportunity per property, unless otherwise approved by the Director due to exceptional circumstances and available funding.
B. Corridor-Specific No-Match Grant Exception. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Guidelines, eligible properties located on the north side of East Carson Street between Harbor View Avenue and Santa Fe Avenue may receive a one -time grant from the City without a matching contribution requirement, subject to available funding and approval by the Director. The amount of such grant shall be determined by the City in accordance with the scope of eligible improvements and Program funding availability , and may exceed $25,000 per business . Properties receiving assistance under this subsection shall be subject to all other applicable Program requirements unless otherwise specified by the City.
C. Matching Grant. Eligible applicants may receive reimbursement above $2,500 and up to a maximum City contribution of $25,000, provided the applicant contributes matching private funds on a dollar -for-dollar basis for the amount above the initial $2,500 threshold.
D. Reimbursement Basis. All grants are awarded on a reimbursement basis only.
Applicants must provide evidence of completed work, proof of payment, and all required permits and approvals before reimbursement will be issued.
E. Multi-Tenant Commercial Centers. Owners of eligible multi -tenant commercial centers may apply for reimbursement up to $250,000 on a dollar-for-dollar match basis for comprehensive exterior rehabilitation projects. To qualify, the proposed improvements must substantially improve the overall visual appearance, design cohesion, and functionality of the center. Eligible center -wide improvements may include, but are not limited to, coordinated signage, awnings or canopies, façade refinishing, paving, lighting, windows, fencing, landscaping, and related design features.
The City may determine that recently completed or code -compliant improvements need not be replaced where they already support the goals of the Program.
CITY OF CARSON COMMERCIAL FAÇADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
9 9
F. Reapplication. An applicant may submit only one no -match grant application per property. Properties that have previously received the one -time no-match grant of up to $2,500 shall not be eligible for an additional no -match award. Reapplication for future matching grants or additional phases of work may be considered only where the applicant demonstrates substantial new improvements, continued property eligibility, and available program funding, as approved by the Director.
PROJECT SELECTION AND FUNDING PRIORITY:
Because program funds are limited, eligibility does not guarantee funding. Complete applications may be prioritized by the City based on one or more of the following:
1. Visibility from major corridors or intersections;
2. Extent of existing façade deterioration or blighting conditions;
3. Degree of public-facing visual improvement;
4. Correction of code issues directly associated with façade improvements;
5. Economic revitalization benefit, including support for active commercial occupancy;
6. Readiness to proceed, including complete plans, permits, and matching funds;
7. Consistency with corridor revitalization goals and adopted City plans.
The Director may approve, conditionally approve, deny, or defer applications based on these criteria and available funding.
Program review shall occur in two phases:
Phase 1 – Preliminary Eligibility and Concept Review. Staff will determine basic applicant and property eligibility and review the proposed conceptual improvements.
Preliminary review does not reserve or commit funding.
Phase 2 – Final Funding Approval. Funding may be reserved only after the applicant submits all required plans, cost estimates, matching fund documentation if applicable, insurance materials, and required City approvals, and after execution of a Façade Improvement Grant Agreement by the City.
REHABILITATION STANDARDS:
All work performed under the provisions of this Program shall meet all applicable standards contained in the City's adopted zoning ordinance, local building and safety codes, and such other codes as designated by the Planning and Building and Safety Divisions. The City’s Municipal Code and Zoning Ordinance are available on the City’s website.
The City has determined that Program assistance may be used only for eligible exterior rehabilitation items and Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) compliance improvements. Such exterior improvements may include, but are not limited to, exterior refinishing, new attached signage, and building façade improvements.
CITY OF CARSON COMMERCIAL FAÇADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
10 10
The scope of work anticipated under the Program generally addresses exterior blighting conditions. As such, property inspections are generally focused on the exterior of the structure and general site conditions. In the course of any inspection which results in the disclosure of a code deficiency such as faulty wiring, plumbing, fire protection, means of egress , or other such deficiency, it shall be the responsibility of the owner to correct all identified deficiencies prior to Program participation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the code deficiency is directly associated with work that will be performed as a part of the façade improvements (e.g.:
a substandard entry door which is of insufficient size and lacks panic hardware, which will be replaced as a component of a new storefront), then such repairs may be included within the allowable scope of work under the Program.
Accordingly, Program assistance may be used for Building and Health Code violations, seismic upgrades, and ADA compliance improvements where identified by the City and where directly related to eligible exterior rehabilitation work. However, activities funded under the Program are generally limited to the exterior of the building and required ADA-related improvements approved by the City. The eligibility of any costs for ADA barrier removal under the Program is subject to Director approval. Typical allowable ADA improvements include improvements of entryway, path of travel, handicap bathroom access, and ADA parking spaces.
All Program improvements must be physically attached to the property and permanent in nature. Program staff may recommend specific improvements based on site analysis, design review, or architectural recommendations.
As part of project review, the City may require the removal, replacement, or modernization of nonconforming, deteriorated, visually incompatible, or outdated signage, including pole signs, where necessary to achieve the objectives of the Program, comply with applicable sign regulations, or support an approved center -wide signage program.
APPLICATION REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS:
Applications are available in the Community and Economic Development Department.
With the exception of the “Corridor-Specific No-Match Grant Exception ” properties, all applicants are required to hire the contractor and is responsible for obtaining design approvals. The City shall assist in scoping the project and will reimburse the applicant for work performed, based on submittal of evidence of work performed and paid. For the “Corridor-Specific No -Match Grant Exception” properties, the City will issue payments directly to contractors rather than to applicants. As a result, applicants will not receive direct reimbursements from the City unless otherwise approved by the Director in cases of extenuating circumstances.
Staff shall receive and review completed applications on a rolling basis. Applications shall be evaluated for completeness, eligibility, and consistency with Program priorities.
CITY OF CARSON COMMERCIAL FAÇADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
11 11
Because funding is limited, complete applications may be considered in light of the selection criteria set forth in these Guidelines, and eligibility alone shall not guarantee funding. The City shall not be committed to provide financial assistance until all required processing steps have been completed and the applicant has entered into an Improvement Grant Agreement with the City.
Funding is limited and subject to availability. When all available program funds have been reserved for the fiscal year, unfunded applicants shall be placed on the Program Interest List. These unfunded applicants will have first priority when additional funds become available, if necessary, and will be notified and may re -apply to the Program at such time.
In the course of performing an initial application review, staff will perform the following tasks:
1. Review application for completeness and eligibility of the applicant and property.
2. If upon review of the application staff determines the applicant and property are ineligible, inform the applicant in writing of such determination.
3. If upon review of the application staff determines the applicant is eligible, Staff will log the application into the program database.
4. Obtain a property information report from the City’s GIS system or other property information service provided by the City’s title company. This report must include the Assessor’s Parcel Number, square footage, year built, ownership information, flood zone information, transaction history, and other pertinent information used to verify property type, size, age, value, and physical location.
5. Determine whether the proposed rehabilitation is consistent with the goals of the City, the property owner, and the Program.
6. Once an applicant has been determined to meet eligibility requirements and the project has received preliminary staff approval, Program staff may conduct an initial site inspection and confer with the property owner or applicant to develop a preliminary scope of work and identify the type of assistance being requested.
As a goal, processing time from the date the Program determines that the applicant is eligible for assistance under the Program until a grant is approved or denied shall be 60 days.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) requires environmental review, as applicable, before City funds may be committed or released for a project.
As such, environmental forms must be completed and approved prior to releasing funds. A Determination of Categorical Exemption, Statutory Worksheet, and Level of Environmental Review form will generally address anticipated typical commercial rehabilitation activities contemplated under the Program. Staff shall ensure that
CITY OF CARSON COMMERCIAL FAÇADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
12 12
appropriate documentation is prepared and signed by the City’s authorized official prior to the commitment of Program funds. Copies of the environmental review documentation shall be maintained in the project file.
FAÇADE IMPROVEMENT GRANT AGREEMENT:
The Façade Improvement Grant Agreement is an agreement between the City and the Owner that links the grant documents to the completion of the Façade Improvement Project by the Owner. It is a contract between the City and the applicant setting forth the terms and conditions of the grant of Program funds, specifically:
a. Source of funding.
b. Applicable funding source requirements.
c. Conditions of program eligibility.
d. Amount granted.
e. Basic use of the funds.
At all times throughout the application and pre -construction phases, it is critical that Staff emphasize to owners both verbally and in any written correspondences that absolutely no Program funds have been committed or approved by the City until the designated Program representative signs the Improvement Agreement. Only after this occurs can funds be encumbered.
FLOOD AND HAZARD INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS:
Applicants are obligated to carry sufficient hazard insurance coverage on the subject property to be rehabilitated under the provisions of this Program. Prior to any grant or loan assistance, minimum fire insurance coverage shall be provided in an amount which is equivalent to the value of the subject building or structure including the proposed rehabilitation improvements. Uninsured applicants must obtain coverage in the required amount prior to receiving grant and/or loan assistance. Applicants in a "Flood Hazard Area" will be required to purchase flood hazard insurance. This requirement may be waived for emergency repairs, at the discretion of the City.

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
CONSENT 31. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Dr. Arlington Rodgers, Director of Public Works PW Operations Subject: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A PURCHASE ORDER WITH SHAW INDUSTRIES, INC. FORFLOORING MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES FOR THE CARSON EVENT CENTER (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
Staff is requesting City Council approval to issue a purchase order for materials and supplies for Capital Improvement Project No. PW1835, also known as the Carson Event Center Flooring Project. The existing carpet at the facility has reached the end of its useful life and is showing clear signs of wear, including fraying and deterioration. If not addressed, these conditions could create tripping hazards and pose safety risks to staff and visitors. To improve safety and ensure long-term durability, staff recommends replacing the existing carpet with a more durable flooring system that includes Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP), a high-quality, long-lasting flooring material, and an epoxy-based moisture barrier designed to prevent damage from underlying moisture. Additional detail is provided in the summary section of this report explaining why this moisture mitigation treatment is the most effective option compared to other available methods for preventing water and vapor intrusion. This evening's request is limited to purchasing the materials and supplies at this time, which allows the City to secure competitive pricing and ensure the materials are available when needed.
To complete this purchase, staff is requesting approval to issue a purchase order to Shaw Industries, Inc. using a cooperative purchasing agreement. A cooperative purchasing agreement allows the City to use pricing that has already been competitively bid and secured by another public agency, helping save time and ensure cost competitiveness without conducting a separate full bidding process. This approach is permitted under the City’s Municipal Code and complies with the City’s purchasing requirements. The total amount for the materials and supplies will not exceed $129,309.59. At the same time, staff is separately conducting a formal competitive bidding process to select a contractor for the installation work. A separate item recommending approval of the installation contract will be brought to the City Council for consideration at the May 20 meeting.
II. RECOMMENDATION
APPROVE a Purchase Order with Shaw Industries Inc., for flooring materials and supplies for a total not-to-exceed amount of $129,309.59 (Exhibit 1); utilizing the cooperative purchasing bidding exemption pursuant to CMC 2611(g) and Omnia Partners cooperative purchasing agreement #2020002144 for purposes of compliance with the bidding requirements of the purchasing ordinance.
III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE any other action the City Council deems appropriate, and consistent with the requirements of applicable law.
IV. BACKGROUND
The existing carpeting at the Carson Community Center has been in place for several years and is now nearing the end of its useful life. There are clear signs of wear and tear, particularly in high-traffic hallways and common areas where the flooring is used most frequently. In addition to its physical condition, the carpet no longer meets the City’s desired standard for a clean, modern, and welcoming public facility.
To address these concerns, staff is recommending the purchase of new flooring materials from Shaw Industries, Inc. The proposed flooring is a commercial-grade Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP), which is a durable, hard-surface material designed to withstand heavy use while providing an updated and more attractive appearance. Compared to carpet, LVP is easier to clean, more resistant to spills, and better suited for facilities with high daily foot traffic. To further protect this investment, the project includes a specialized epoxy-based moisture barrier that is applied to the concrete surface beneath the flooring. This treatment helps prevent moisture from damaging the new flooring over time and allows the City to receive a long-term manufacturer warranty, helping ensure the flooring performs well for many years.
On March 11, 2026, the City Council approved funding in the amount of $300,000 to move forward with this project, with a focus on improving areas of the Community Center that are frequently used by the senior community. These areas include the East Wing Hallway, East Wing Activity Room, East Wing Lounge, International Room, and Rooms 122 A, B, and C. At that time, staff also approved the specific flooring product to be used, Solitude LVT in the color “Fawn”, which is included as an exhibit to this report.
As part of the overall project, the City is following a two-step approach: purchasing the materials first, and then selecting a contractor to perform the installation. For the installation portion, staff developed a detailed scope of work that includes removal of the existing carpet, preparation of the surface, application of the moisture barrier, and installation of the new flooring. An Invitation for Bids was issued on April 9, 2026, and a pre-bid meeting was held on April 20, 2026, so interested contractors could visit the site and better understand the project requirements.
Bids are due on May 11, 2026, and staff plans to return to the City Council on May 20, 2026, with a recommendation for awarding the installation contract. For the purchase of materials, staff is utilizing a cooperative purchasing program, which is allowed under the Carson Municipal Code. A cooperative purchasing program enables the City to use pricing that has already been competitively bid and negotiated by another public agency, saving time and helping ensure fair and competitive pricing. In this case, the City is using an agreement through Omnia Partners, a nationally recognized cooperative purchasing organization that provides access to pre-approved vendors and contracts. This approach applies only to the purchase and delivery of materials and does not include installation services.
The City’s Purchasing Manager has reviewed this process and determined that it meets all requirements of the Municipal Code. As a result, the formal bidding process for materials has been waived, as allowed by City regulations, ensuring the City can move forward efficiently while still maintaining compliance with procurement rules.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost for the proposed purchase of flooring materials from Shaw Industries, Inc. is $129,309.59. If approved by the City Council, funding for this purchase is already included in the City’s adopted Fiscal Year 2025- 2026 Capital Improvement Project Budget under Project No. PW1835. The expense will be charged to account number 101-99-999-904-8008. This means the project can move forward without requiring any additional funding or budget adjustments at this time.
