Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, July 7, 2026, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 23. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Dr. Arlington Rodgers, Director of Public Works PW Operations Subject: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENTWITH MARIPOSA LANDSCAPES INC. FOR CONTINUED LANDSCAPE MEDIAN MAINTENANCE SERVICESTHROUGH AUGUST 7, 2026, TO ENSURE SERVICE CONTINUITY PENDING COMPLETION OF THE CITY'SCOMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT PROCESS AND AWARD OF A NEW LONG-TERM AGREEMENT (CITYCOUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
The Public Works Department is currently conducting a competitive procurement process to establish new citywide landscape median maintenance contracts. An Invitation for Bids (IFB), which is the formal process used by the City to solicit competitive pricing and services from qualified contractors, has been released and is being administered in coordination with the Purchasing Division. Staff anticipates completing the bidding process this month and returning to the City Council on either July 21, 2026, or August 4, 2026, with a recommendation to award new contracts. As part of this procurement effort, the Public Works Operations and Maintenance Division has identified several operational improvements intended to enhance service levels, improve contractor accountability, address deficiencies experienced under previous agreements, and improve overall vendor performance.
Most notably, the new IFB has been structured to maximize efficiency and improve service delivery throughout the City. Under the proposed approach, the City's landscaped medians will be divided into four service quadrants of approximately equal size, rather than the current two-area configuration. This revised service model is expected to improve contractor accountability, simplify performance monitoring, reduce the risk of service disruptions, and provide the City with greater flexibility to tailor maintenance activities to the specific needs of individual neighborhoods and service areas.
During this interim period, while the City completes the competitive procurement process and transitions to new contracts, staff recommends that the City Council approve the proposed Amendment No. 1 to the existing Contract Services Agreement with Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. for continued landscape median maintenance services. The proposed amendment would increase the contract amount by $86,349, resulting in a revised total not-to-exceed contract amount of $951,645 for the initial three-year term, which expires on August 7, 2026. Approval of the proposed amendment will ensure that routine landscape maintenance services continue without interruption through the expiration of the current agreement. The additional funding has been budgeted and is necessary to cover anticipated maintenance costs and contractor invoices through the end of the contract term. Maintaining uninterrupted service during this transition period is important to preserve the appearance of the City's landscaped corridors, maintain safe sight visibility for motorists and pedestrians, and prevent landscape conditions from deteriorating while new long-term contracts are being finalized.
II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:
1. APPROVE the proposed Amendment No. 1 to the Contract Services Agreement with Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. for continued landscape median maintenance services through August 7, 2026, increasing the contract amount by $86,349, for a revised total not-to-exceed contract amount of $951,645, thereby providing sufficient funding to complete the initial three-year term of the Agreement; and,
2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute the proposed Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with Mariposa Landscapes, Inc., in a form approved by the City Attorney.
III. ALTERNATIVES
1. DO NOT APPROVE the proposed Amendment No. 1 to the Contract Services Agreement with Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. for continued landscape median maintenance services through August 7, 2026.
2. TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate, and consistent with the requirements of the law.
IV. BACKGROUND
The City maintains and is responsible for more than 20 miles of landscaped medians, parkways, and embankments throughout the community. These landscaped areas play an important role in maintaining the City's appearance, enhancing neighborhood aesthetics, and promoting public safety by preserving visibility for motorists and pedestrians. Following the expiration of the City's previous median maintenance contract and the unusually high rainfall experienced in 2023, many landscaped medians experienced significant weed growth and deterioration, resulting in conditions that fell below the City's maintenance standards. The resulting overgrowth generated numerous resident concerns regarding aesthetics, visibility, and overall public safety.
As staff prepared the Invitation for Bids (IFB) for new landscape maintenance services in 2023, it was determined at that time that dividing the City's median system into two separate service areas would provide a more effective and efficient approach to restoring and maintaining landscape conditions. This strategy allowed multiple contractors to perform work concurrently, accelerating citywide improvements and increasing the City's ability to respond to ongoing maintenance needs. Accordingly, the service areas were established as follows: Area A, consisting of medians located south of Interstate 405 (I-405), and Area B, consisting of medians located north of I-405.
On June 15, 2023, the City issued said IFB No. 23-11 for Area A and IFB No. 23-12 for Area B to solicit competitive bids for landscape median maintenance services. Contractors interested in servicing both areas were permitted to submit proposals for each service area, provided they demonstrated sufficient staffing, equipment, and operational capacity to maintain both areas simultaneously. In accordance with Carson Municipal Code Section 2800, public notice of the bidding opportunity was posted on the City's website, displayed at designated public notice locations, and published in a local newspaper. Bid submissions were due on July 6, 2023. At its July 18, 2023 meeting, the City Council awarded a three-year contract to Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. for landscape median maintenance services within Area A in an amount not to exceed $865,296, with an option for the City to extend the agreement for up to two additional one-year terms. Due to the poor condition of the landscaped medians at the commencement of the contract, substantially more restoration work than originally anticipated was required during the first and second years of the agreement. This additional work included extensive weed abatement, vegetation restoration, irrigation repairs, and enhanced maintenance activities necessary to restore the medians to the visual, operational, and safety standards expected by the City.
The agreement is currently in the third and final year of its initial term. However, because of the significant restoration efforts required during the first two years of the contract, the remaining contract balance is insufficient to fund routine maintenance services through the expiration date of August 7, 2026. Accordingly, staff is requesting that the City Council approve the proposed Amendment No. 1 to the Contract Services Agreement with Mariposa Landscapes, Inc., increasing the contract amount by $86,349 for a revised total not-to-exceed amount of $951,645.
The additional funding will allow the contractor to continue providing uninterrupted landscape maintenance services through the conclusion of the current contract term. Staff is not recommending an extension of the contract term.
In parallel, the Public Works Department is actively procuring new citywide landscape median maintenance contracts. A new Invitation for Bids is currently being finalized in coordination with the Purchasing Division to ensure that future contracts maximize operational efficiency, improve service quality, and strengthen contractor accountability. Staff anticipates completing the procurement process this month and returning to City Council on either July 21, 2026, or August 4, 2026, with recommendations for contract award. As part of this effort, the Public Works Operations and Maintenance Division has identified several operational improvements intended to enhance service levels, address deficiencies experienced under prior contracts, and improve overall contractor performance.
Most notably, the forthcoming IFB proposes dividing the City into four service quadrants of approximately equal landscape area, rather than the current two-area configuration. This revised approach is expected to improve contractor accountability, simplify performance monitoring, reduce the likelihood of service disruptions, and provide the City with greater flexibility to tailor maintenance activities to the specific needs of individual neighborhoods and service areas. Ultimately, these changes are intended to improve the reliability, quality, and responsiveness of landscape maintenance services citywide.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
In July 2023, the City entered into a Contract Services Agreement with Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. for landscape median maintenance services in an amount not to exceed $865,296.00. The agreement included an initial three- year term, with the option, at the City's sole discretion, to extend the contract for up to two additional one-year terms. Staff is requesting City Council approval of the proposed Amendment No. 1 to the existing agreement to provide additional funding necessary to continue uninterrupted landscape maintenance services through the expiration of the current contract term on August 7, 2026. If approved, the proposed Amendment No. 1 will increase the contract amount by $86,349.00, resulting in a revised total not-to-exceed contract amount of $951,645.00. A portion of the requested funding will be used to pay contractor invoices for services provided during May and June of Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The remaining funds will be used to pay for services provided during July 2026 and through the conclusion of the contract term, utilizing appropriations included in the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 adopted budget.
Sufficient funding for the proposed amendment is available and has been budgeted within the Medians Professional Services account (Account No. 101-80-840-108-6004) in both the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and Fiscal Year 2026-2027 adopted budgets. Therefore, approval of the proposed amendment will not require any additional budget appropriation. The amendment will ensure continuity of landscape maintenance services, preserve the appearance and safety of the City's landscaped corridors, and prevent service disruptions while the City completes its ongoing procurement process for new long-term median maintenance contracts.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Dr. Arlington Rodgers, Director of Public Works PW Engineering Subject: CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 26-070, RESCINDING AND SUPERSEDINGRESOLUTION NO. 26-052 TO REVISE THE FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 SENATE BILL 1 (SB 1) PROJECT LISTFOR ROAD MAINTENANCE AND REHABILITATION FUNDING UNDER THE ROAD REPAIR ANDACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017, AND CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 26-071 AMENDING THEFISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 BUDGET IN THE GENERAL FUND, SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS, ENTERPRISEFUNDS, AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) FUND TO REALLOCATE SB 1 FUNDING TOPROJECT NO. PW1608, MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. STREET REHABILITATION PROJECT (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), also known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, established the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) to provide dedicated funding for local street and roadway improvements. To remain eligible to receive annual RMRA funding, the City is required to adopt and submit to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) a resolution identifying the projects proposed for funding during the upcoming fiscal year.
On June 16, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 26-052 (Exhibit No. 3), approving the City's Fiscal Year 2026-2027 SB 1 Project List. The approved project list identified the rehabilitation of Main Street between Lomita Boulevard and 228th Street as the City's SB 1-funded project. Following adoption of Resolution No. 26-052, staff conducted further evaluation of roadway conditions throughout the City and determined that Martin Luther King Jr.
Street is in significantly poorer condition than Main Street. The corridor is experiencing substantial pavement deterioration that adversely affects roadway safety, ride quality, and overall operations. In addition, Martin Luther King Jr. Street is anticipated to serve as a major transportation corridor supporting residents, visitors, transit services, and event-related traffic associated with the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games at Dignity Health Sports Park. Given the roadway's current condition and its anticipated importance during the Games, staff determined that rehabilitation of Martin Luther King Jr. Street should be prioritized.
Because the Martin Luther King Jr. Street Rehabilitation Project was not included in the previously approved Fiscal Year 2026-2027 SB 1 Project List, staff requested authorization from the California Transportation Commission to substitute the Main Street project with the Martin Luther King Jr. Street Rehabilitation Project. Following review of the request, CTC staff provided informal concurrence with the proposed substitution and advised that, provided the revised resolution is adopted by the City Council at its first meeting in July 2026, the City will maintain its eligibility to receive Fiscal Year 2026-2027 SB 1 funding.
Consequently, staff is recommending that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-070 (Exhibit No. 2), which would rescind and supersede Resolution No. 26-052 and revise the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 SB 1 Project List to designate Project No. PW1608, Martin Luther King Jr. Street Rehabilitation Project, as the City's SB 1-funded project.
Staff is also requesting that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-071 (Exhibit No. 4), which would reallocate the previously approved $6,200,000 in SB 1 funding from Project No. PW1757, Main Street Rehabilitation, to Project No. PW1608, Martin Luther King Jr. Street Rehabilitation Project, in order to advance this higher-priority roadway rehabilitation project.
II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:
1. WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Resolution No. 26-070, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A LIST OF PROJECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 FUNDED BY SB 1: THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017"; and
2. WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Resolution No. 26-071, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 BUDGET IN THE GENERAL FUND,
SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS, ENTERPRISE FUNDS, AND THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) FUND," reallocating the previously approved $6,200,000 in SB 1 funds to Project No. PW1608, Martin Luther King Jr. Street Rehabilitation Project; and,
3. AMEND the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Plan to reflect the revised SB 1 project funding allocation.
III. ALTERNATIVES
1. DO NOT ADOPT Resolution No. 26-070.
2. DO NOT ADOPT Resolution No. 26-071
3. DO NOT AMEND the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Plan
4. TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate, consistent with the requirements of the law.
IV. BACKGROUND
On April 28, 2017, the Governor of California signed Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), also known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. SB 1 increased fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees to provide a dedicated funding source for the repair and rehabilitation of state highways and local streets and roads throughout California. A portion of these revenues is deposited into the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) and distributed annually to eligible cities and counties for roadway maintenance and improvement projects. As a condition of receiving RMRA funding, local agencies are required to annually adopt and submit to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) a list of projects proposed for funding during the upcoming fiscal year. Although the City previously established and received approval for a long-range SB 1 project list, State law requires the City Council to adopt a resolution each year identifying the specific projects proposed for funding in order to remain eligible to receive RMRA funds.
On June 16, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 26-052, approving the City's Fiscal Year 2026-2027 SB 1 Project List. The approved list identified the rehabilitation of Main Street between Lomita Boulevard and 228th Street as the project to be funded with SB 1 revenues. This project is consistent with the City's original SB 1 project list submitted to the California Transportation Commission when the program was established in 2017.
Following adoption of Resolution No. 26-052, staff conducted a reassessment of roadway conditions throughout the City and determined that Martin Luther King Jr. Street is in significantly poorer condition than Main Street. The corridor is experiencing substantial pavement deterioration, including uneven roadway surfaces and extensive distress that negatively affect ride quality, roadway operations, and overall public safety.
In addition, with the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games approaching and Dignity Health Sports Park serving as a host venue, Martin Luther King Jr. Street is anticipated to function as a major transportation corridor for residents, visitors, transit services, and event-related traffic. Given the roadway's existing condition and the limited time available to complete improvements prior to the Games, staff determined that rehabilitating Martin Luther King Jr.
Street should be prioritized to ensure a safe, reliable, and efficient transportation corridor for the community and visitors alike.
Because the Martin Luther King Jr. Street Rehabilitation Project was not included in the previously approved Fiscal Year 2026-2027 SB 1 Project List, staff contacted the California Transportation Commission to request authorization to substitute the Main Street project with the Martin Luther King Jr. Street project. Following review of the request, CTC staff provided informal concurrence with the proposed substitution and advised that, provided the revised resolution is adopted by the City Council at its first meeting in July 2026, the City will maintain its eligibility to receive Fiscal Year 2026-2027 SB 1 funding.
Consequently, staff is returning to the City Council with a new resolution that rescinds and supersedes Resolution No. 26-052 and revises the City's Fiscal Year 2026-2027 SB 1 Project List. The proposed resolution, included as Exhibit No. 2, has been prepared using the standard format prescribed by the California Transportation Commission. Staff recommends adoption of the resolution to ensure continued compliance with State funding requirements, preserve the City's eligibility to receive SB 1 revenues, and allow the City to advance a higher-priority roadway improvement project.
Upon adoption of the proposed resolution, Project No. 1608, Martin Luther King Jr. Street Rehabilitation Project, will become the City's designated SB 1-funded project for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The project includes roadway pavement reconstruction and related concrete improvements along Martin Luther King Jr. Street between Main Street and Avalon Boulevard. Consistent with California Transportation Commission requirements, the resolution identifies the project location, scope, estimated useful life, and anticipated completion schedule. The City's projected RMRA allocation for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 is $6,274,241.77.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal Year 2026-2027 represents the tenth year of the Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) program. The City's projected Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funding allocation for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 is $6,274,241.77.
As part of the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget adoption process, the City Council previously allocated $6,200,000 in SB 1 funding to Project PW1757, Main Street Rehabilitation, for improvements along Main Street between Lomita Boulevard and 228th Street. If the City Council approves the proposed resolution this evening, the previously approved $6,200,000 in SB 1 funding will be reallocated from Project PW1757 to Project PW1608, Martin Luther King Jr. Street Rehabilitation Project. This funding reallocation will allow the City to advance improvements along Martin Luther King Jr. Street, which staff has identified as a higher-priority roadway corridor based on existing pavement conditions and anticipated transportation demands associated with the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, July 7, 2026, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 27. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Dr. Arlington Rodgers, Director of Public Works PW Engineering Subject: CONSIDERATION OF AN EASEMENT AGREEMENT WITH BSREP III DOMINGUEZ LLC FOR THEACCEPTANCE OF A SIDEWALK EASEMENT AT 2001 E. DOMINGUEZ STREET TO FACILITATE PUBLICSIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
BSREP III is developing a new warehouse and office building at 2001 E. Dominguez Street (Assessor's Parcel Numbers 7318-012-018 and 7318-012-020) (Exhibit No. 1). As a condition of project approval, the developer was required to construct new sidewalks along the property frontage that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility. During project review, it was determined that several mature trees are located within the area where the new sidewalk would typically be constructed. To preserve these established trees and their environmental and aesthetic benefits while maintaining a safe and accessible pedestrian pathway, the City approved a revised sidewalk design. Under the approved design, a portion of the sidewalk improvements was extended beyond the existing public right-of-way and onto private property. To accommodate this revised alignment, BSREP III agreed to grant the City a permanent sidewalk easement. The easement provides the City with the legal rights necessary to operate, maintain, repair, and access the sidewalk improvements for public use while ensuring the long-term preservation of the existing mature trees along the project frontage.
An Easement Agreement has been prepared and submitted for City Council consideration (Exhibit No. 2).
Acceptance of the easement will enhance pedestrian safety and accessibility, support ADA compliance, preserve valuable community assets, and improve the overall streetscape along E. Dominguez Street. Consequently, staff recommends that the City Council accept the easement and authorize execution of the Easement Agreement.
II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:
1. ACCEPT and APPROVE the proposed Easement Agreement with BSREP III for a 390 sq. ft easement area to accommodate public sidewalk improvements and related purposes; and,
2. AUTHORIZE the City Manager to execute the proposed Easement Agreement and take all actions necessary to cause the agreement to be recorded with the Los Angeles County Recorder's Office.
III. ALTERNATIVES
1. DO NOT APPROVE the proposed Easement Agreement with BSREP III.
2. TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate consistent with the requirements of the law.
IV. BACKGROUND
BSREP III, the owner of the property located at 2001 E. Dominguez Street (Assessor's Parcel Numbers 7318-012- 018 and 7318-012-020), is currently developing the site with a new warehouse and office building. As part of the project's approval, the developer was required to construct public improvements along the property's street frontage, including new sidewalks that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). These improvements are intended to enhance pedestrian safety, improve accessibility for individuals with disabilities, and ensure consistency with the City's development standards.
During the City's review of the project, staff determined that several mature trees were located within the area where the new sidewalk would normally be constructed (Exhibit No. 3). Because these trees provide important aesthetic, environmental, and community benefits, the City approved an alternative sidewalk design that preserves the existing trees while still providing a safe and accessible pedestrian route. Under the approved design, portions of the new sidewalk extend outside the existing public right-of-way and onto a small portion of the developer's private property. A public right-of-way is land owned or controlled by the City for streets, sidewalks, and other public improvements. Extending the sidewalk onto private property provides sufficient space to maintain a continuous pedestrian pathway while avoiding impacts to the mature trees.
To accommodate this revised sidewalk alignment, BSREP III agreed to grant the City a permanent sidewalk easement over the affected area. An easement is a legal right that allows the City to use and access private property for a specific public purpose without acquiring ownership of the property. The proposed easement will provide the City with the legal authority necessary to operate, inspect, maintain, repair, and access the sidewalk improvements for the benefit of the public. Acceptance of the easement will support several important public objectives, including improving pedestrian safety and accessibility, maintaining compliance with ADA requirements, preserving mature trees, and enhancing the overall appearance and functionality of the streetscape along E.
Dominguez Street. The proposed easement is consistent with the project's approved conditions and advances the City's ongoing efforts to improve pedestrian infrastructure and mobility throughout the community.
Consequently, staff recommends that the City Council accept the permanent sidewalk easement and authorize execution of the Easement Agreement to allow construction and long-term maintenance of the sidewalk improvements.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the proposed action. Acceptance of the sidewalk easement does not require the expenditure of City funds and will have no impact on the City's General Fund. The developer has already constructed the required sidewalk improvements as a condition of project approval.

CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, July 7, 2026, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 28. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Dr. Arlington Rodgers, Director of Public Works PW Engineering Subject: CONSIDER ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 26-034, APPROVING FUNDING AGREEMENTBETWEEN THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES AND THE CITY OF CARSON FOR PROJECT NO. 1688: TRAFFICSIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION (TSSP) - AVALON BOULEVARD FROM 126TH STREET TO SEPULVEDABOULEVARD AND CONSIDER ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 26-069, AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR2026–27 BUDGET IN THE GENERAL FUND, SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS, ENTERPRISE FUNDS, AND THECAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) FUND (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
The City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes Project No. 1688, Traffic Signal Synchronization along Avalon Boulevard from 126th Street to Sepulveda Boulevard. The purpose of the project is to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion by upgrading and coordinating traffic signals so they operate in a synchronized manner.
Synchronizing traffic signals helps vehicles move more efficiently through intersections, reduces delays, and improves overall travel conditions along the corridor.
The County of Los Angeles is serving as the lead agency for the project and has secured funding from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) to construct the improvements. Metro will provide approximately $7.75 million of the estimated $8.25 million project cost within the City of Carson. Under the funding agreement, the City of Carson is responsible for contributing $492,800 toward the project, while the County of Los Angeles will contribute an additional $5,900. City Council is being asked to approve the Funding Agreement between the City of Carson and the County of Los Angeles (Exhibit No. 1) to allow the construction phase of Project No. 1688 to move forward.
A portion of the project is located within a Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) transmission line right-of-way, which is land reserved for utility infrastructure and access. As a condition of allowing construction within this area, LADWP requires the City and County to execute a Letter of No Obligation. This document confirms that the City will be responsible for the future operation and maintenance of the traffic signal improvements and that LADWP will not assume any financial, operational, or maintenance responsibilities related to the project. Accordingly, City Council is also being asked to authorize the Mayor to execute the Letter of No Obligation on behalf of the City.
II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:
1. WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Resolution No. 26-034 “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF CARSON CALIFORNIA, APPROVING FUNDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES AND THE CITY OF CARSON FOR PROJECT NO. 1688: TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION (TSSP) - AVALON BOULEVARD FROM 126TH STREET TO SEPULVEDA BOULEVARD”; and,
2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute the proposed Funding Agreement between the City and the County of Los Angeles, following approval as to form by the City Attorney; and,
3. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to sign the proposed Letter of No Obligation between the City, the County of Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power; and,
4. WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Resolution No. 26-069, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CARSON CITY COUNCIL AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 BUDGET IN THE GENERAL FUND, SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS, ENTERPRISE FUNDS, AND THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) FUND", adding the additional $492,800 Proposition C funds; and,
5. AMEND the FY26-27 CIP Plan to reflect the update to the project funding.
III. ALTERNATIVES
1. DO NOT APPROVE the above recommendations. However, the County of Los Angeles will not be able to proceed with the construction of Project No. 1688: Traffic Signal Synchronization (TSSP) – Avalon Boulevard from 126th Street to Sepulveda Boulevard.
2. TAKE any other action the Council deems appropriate.
IV. BACKGROUND
The City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes Project No. 1688, Traffic Signal Synchronization along Avalon Boulevard from 126th Street to Sepulveda Boulevard. The purpose of the project is to improve traffic flow, reduce delays, and enhance overall roadway efficiency by upgrading and coordinating traffic signals so they operate in a synchronized manner. Synchronizing traffic signals allows vehicles traveling along the corridor to encounter fewer stops, resulting in improved travel times and reduced congestion.
The project corridor extends along Avalon Boulevard from 126th Street in the City of Los Angeles to Sepulveda Boulevard in the City of Carson. The portion of the project located within the City of Carson extends from the intersection of Avalon Boulevard and Alondra Boulevard, which is jointly maintained by the City of Carson and the County of Los Angeles, to the intersection of Avalon Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard (Exhibit No. 6).
The County of Los Angeles is serving as the lead agency for the project and will be responsible for delivering the improvements. To fund construction, the County entered into amended Funding Agreement No. FA.P00F310 with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) on March 20, 2025. Under that agreement, Metro will provide approximately $8.57 million toward the project, including approximately $7.75 million for improvements located within the City of Carson and approximately $822,200 for improvements located within unincorporated Los Angeles County. The total cost of the improvements within the City of Carson is estimated at approximately $8.25 million. As required under the Metro funding agreement, the City of Carson is responsible for providing a local funding contribution of $492,800, with Los Angeles County contributing an additional $5,900.
Following approval of the proposed agreement, the County of Los Angeles will issue an invoice to the City in the amount of $492,800 for the City's required share of project costs. Accordingly, City Council is being asked to approve a Funding Agreement between the City of Carson and the County of Los Angeles to allow the construction phase of Project No. 1688 to proceed. Staff also recommends appropriating the necessary funds to satisfy the City's financial obligation under the agreement.
A portion of the project is located within a transmission line right-of-way owned by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP). A right-of-way is property reserved for utility infrastructure and access. Because project improvements will occur within this area, LADWP has reviewed and approved the construction plans, subject to execution of a Letter of No Obligation. This document formally acknowledges that LADWP will not be responsible for funding, operating, maintaining, or repairing any of the traffic signal improvements associated with the project. As part of LADWP's approval, the City must acknowledge and accept responsibility for the future maintenance of the project improvements located within City jurisdiction. Since the improvements consist of City- owned traffic signal infrastructure, staff believes it is appropriate for the City to assume these maintenance responsibilities. Therefore, City Council is also being asked to authorize the Mayor to execute the Letter of No Obligation on behalf of the City. Approval and execution of this document will satisfy LADWP's conditions, allow the County to continue advancing the project, and help avoid delays to the construction schedule.
The current project schedule anticipates Los Angeles County Board approval and advertisement of the construction contract in August 2026, bid opening in September 2026, issuance of a Notice to Proceed for contractor mobilization and material procurement in November 2026, commencement of construction in June 2027, and completion of construction in January 2029.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
The County of Los Angeles entered into Amended Funding Agreement No. FA.P00F310 with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) to provide approximately $8.75 million in grant funding for the Traffic Signal Synchronization Project (TSSP). Because the project extends into the City of Carson, Metro allocated approximately $7.75 million to fund the portion of the project located within the City. However, the estimated cost to construct the improvements within Carson is approximately $8.25 million, resulting in a funding shortfall of approximately $498,700. To fully fund the Carson portion of the project and allow construction to proceed, the proposed Funding Agreement requires the City of Carson to contribute $492,800, with the County of Los Angeles contributing the remaining $5,900. If approved by the City Council, the City's contribution will be incorporated into the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Capital Improvement Program budget and funded using Proposition C transportation funds, consistent with Resolution No. 26-069. Approval of the proposed Funding Agreement will allow the County of Los Angeles, as the lead agency, to advance the project into construction and implement traffic signal improvements intended to improve traffic flow, reduce delays, and enhance overall mobility along the Avalon Boulevard corridor.

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, July 7, 2026, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 29. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Michael Whittiker, Community Services Director CS Administration Subject: REVIEW THE AMENDED AND RESTATED FISCAL YEAR 2026/27 BUDGETS FOR CITY-WIDESPECIAL EVENTS/FUND 244 AND COMMUNITY SERVICES SPECIAL EVENT/FUND 101 (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
At its June 16, 2026, meeting, the City Council adopted the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027 Special Events Budget funded through Fund 244. Although the overall budget amount approved by the City Council was accurate, staff subsequently identified that several individual event funding allocations were inadvertently displayed incorrectly during the budget presentation. To ensure transparency and provide the public and City Council with an accurate accounting of approved funding levels, this report has been prepared to clarify and confirm the budget allocation for each special event. In addition, this report provides a comprehensive summary of all special events funded through the General Fund (Fund 101) within the Community Services Department budget. The events are organized by division, including Recreation and Community Services, to provide a complete overview of the City's planned programming and community events for FY 2026-2027. This information is intended to enhance public understanding of how special event funding is allocated and to ensure clear and accurate budget reporting.
II. RECOMMENDATION
1. RECEIVE and FILE report.
III. ALTERNATIVES
1. TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate.
IV. BACKGROUND
Each year, the Community Services Department delivers a wide variety of special events and programs designed to engage, celebrate, and enrich the lives of Carson residents and visitors. These events have become longstanding community traditions, providing high-quality entertainment, cultural celebrations, and opportunities for residents to come together while supporting local businesses, community organizations, and public agencies.
Collectively, these programs represent a hallmark of the Carson experience and serve as an important source of community pride and identity.
For budgeting purposes, Special Events are defined as activities funded through the City's Special Events Fund (Fund 244) that typically attract 500 or more attendees. For Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027, the City plans to host eight (8) Special Events: FamFest, Jazz Festival, Country Western Fair, Winterfest, Cinco de Mayo, Philippine Independence Day, Juneteenth, and Samoan Heritage Day. In addition, the annual State of the City event is supported through the Special Events Fund, although it is planned and coordinated by the Public Information Office (PIO).
The approved budget allocation for each individual Special Event is identified below. The total FY 2026-2027 Special Events budget is $630,126.
Event FUND 244 - FY 2026/27 Budget
(Direct Costs)
FamFest $72,634
Jazz Festival $88,236
Country Western Fair $54,256
Winterfest $47,712
Cinco de Mayo $69,801
Philippine Independence Day $81,407
Juneteenth $69,061
Samoan Heritage Day $67,019
State of the City $80,000
Total $630,126
Division Programs are community activities and events administered by either the Recreation Division or the Community Services Division and funded through the City's General Fund (Fund 101). Unlike Special Events, these programs typically serve fewer than 500 participants and are designed to provide residents with a wide range of recreational, cultural, educational, and community engagement opportunities throughout the year. For Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027, the Recreation Division is offering ten (10) programs at a total estimated cost of $180,260.
The Community Services Division is delivering eight (8) programs at a total estimated cost of $288,500. This amount includes a contingency reserve of $61,864 to address potential increases in full-time and part-time staffing costs, emergency medical and public safety services, unforeseen expenses, and fluctuations in entertainment or program costs. The combined FY 2026-2027 budget for all Division Programs funded through the General Fund is $468,760. The approved budget allocations for each division's programs are presented below.

CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, July 7, 2026, 5:00 PM
DISCUSSION 31. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nathan Freeman, Director of Community and Economic Development CD Administration Subject: CONSIDER ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 26-073, RATIFYING DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE(DIF) CREDITS FOR THE ENVISION CARSON MIXED-USE PROJECT (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
The Envision Carson Mixed-Use Project, formerly known as the Imperial Avalon Mixed-Use Project, and currently under construction, is a master-planned redevelopment located at approximately 21207 South Avalon Boulevard.
The project replaces the former Imperial Avalon Mobile Estates with a mixed-use community consisting of residential neighborhoods, multi-family housing, neighborhood-serving commercial uses, and publicly accessible open space.
The project was originally approved by the City Council in December 2022 and has since been amended through an Amended and Restated Development Agreement approved in 2026.
Redevelopment of the property required demolition of the then-existing mobile home park and associated improvements. Under the City’s Interim Development Impact Fee (DIF) Ordinance, eligible demolition-related credits may be applied to offset DIF obligations generated by replacement development, provided the demolished improvements can be independently verified through City records and other available documentation.
Imperial Avalon DE, LLC (Developer) has requested demolition-related DIF credits totaling $3,652,660.62, which is the specific credit amount authorized by the DIF ordinance. Although no formal, written request was submitted at the time demolition permits were issued or executed, staff has independently verified the demolished improvements and calculated the eligible credit using City records.
Staff recommends City Council approval of the attached resolution to ratify the credit and authorize its application to the current DIF invoice. This action provides a transparent public record while remaining consistent with the intent of the City’s DIF Ordinance.
The DIF credit being ratified constitutes the full and final credit associated with the demolition of the previously existing Imperial Mobile Estates mobile home park or units, and no DIF credit or offset shall be applied to any future phase of the development.
II. RECOMMENDATION
WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Resolution No. 26-073, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA RATIFYING DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE (DIF) CREDITS IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,652,660.62 ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEMOLITION OF THE FORMER IMPERIAL AVALON MOBILE
ESTATES FOR THE ENVISION CARSON MIXED-USE PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING APPLICATION OF THOSE CREDITS TO THE CURRENT DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE INVOICE FOR LOTS 1 AND 3." III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate, consistent with requirements of the law.
IV. BACKGROUND
The Envision Carson project encompasses approximately 27 acres formerly occupied by the Imperial Avalon Mobile Estates. The approved redevelopment project, once complete, will provide:
764 multi-family apartment units;
351 townhome units;
Approximately 10,000 square feet of neighborhood-serving commercial space; and More than 111,000 square feet of publicly accessible open space, including a neighborhood park.
Although the relocation impact report for the closure of the then-existing mobile home park on the project site (Imperial Avalon Mobile Estates) was approved separately, redevelopment of the site required demolition of the then-existing mobile home park and related improvements.
Article 11, Chapter 8 of the Carson Municipal Code authorizes DIF credits for demolition of existing permitted structures that are replaced with new development that is subject to DIF. The ordinance provides that requests for demolition-related credits be submitted at the time of demolition permit application to allow the City to verify eligible improvements and calculate applicable credits.
Although no formal written credit request was submitted during the demolition permitting process, sufficient documentation exists for staff to independently verify the demolished improvements. Staff reviewed building permits, demolition permits, historical site records, aerial imagery, and related project documentation to confirm unit counts and calculate the eligible credit.
Based on this review, staff verified that the requested credit is fully supportable under City records, accurately reflects the specific amount of credits authorized by the DIF ordinance, and is consistent with the overall purpose and intent of the DIF ordinance to award credits for preexisting replaced improvements. Accordingly, staff determined that the procedural timing of the request did not impair the City's ability to accurately verify or calculate the eligible DIF credit.
The current DIF invoice for the Envision Carson Mixed-Use Project reflects development proposed on Lots 1 and 3.
Staff calculated applicable DIF obligations in accordance with Article 11, Chapter 8 of the Carson Municipal Code and evaluated the requested demolition-related credit.
Eligible DIF credits are based on the removal of legally existing residential units that previously contributed to infrastructure demand. The verified credit reflects the demolished residential units of the former Imperial Avalon Mobile Estates and has been calculated in accordance with the City's DIF methodology on a unit-for-unit basis.
The Development Impact Fee calculation for the current DIF invoice (Exhibit 2), which is for Lots 1 & 3, is summarized as follows:
Project Component DIF Amount
Townhomes (Lot 3: 351 units): $7,422,779.52
Apartments (Lot 1: 465 units): $8,509,760.17
Subtotal DIF (Lots 1 & 3): $15,932,539.69
DIF Credit/Offset: ($3,652,660.62)
Net DIF Due: $12,279,879.07
This recommendation is limited to the facts and circumstances of the current project and does not establish precedent for future projects or modify existing DIF procedures. The credit proposed to be ratified is specific to the demolition event described herein and reflects all demolition associated with the project, and no further or additional DIF credit or other offset shall be applied to any subsequent phase of development. The proposed ratified credit constitutes the full and final Development Impact Fee credit associated with the demolished residential units and shall be applied only to the current invoice for Lots 1 and 3 and not any subsequent phase of development.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
The total Development Impact Fee obligation for Lots 1 and 3 (prior to application of the credit) is $15,932,539.69.
Application of the verified demolition-related DIF credit in the amount of $3,652,660.62 results in a net DIF obligation of $12,279,879.07 for Lots 1 and 3, as shown in Exhibit 2.
This action does not create a new financial impact to the City. It ratifies a credit authorized under the City’s Development Impact Fee Ordinance and authorizes its application to the current DIF invoice, as shown in Exhibit 2.
Remaining DIF payments will be collected in accordance with City ordinance and applicable project approvals.

CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, July 7, 2026, 5:00 PM
ORDINANCE SECOND READING 33. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Dr. Arlington Rodgers, Director of Public Works PW Engineering Subject: CONSIDER SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 26-2610 ADDINGCHAPTER 4 (MORATORIUM ON ROADWAY PAVEMENT CUTS) TO ARTICLE II (STREETS) OF THE CARSONMUNICIPAL CODE TO IMPOSE MORATORIUM ON ROADWAY PAVEMENT CUTS (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
On June 16, 2026, under Item No. 31 of the City Council agenda, the City Council unanimously adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 26-2609U (Exhibit No. 1) and introduced Ordinance No. 26-2610 (Exhibit No. 2), establishing a roadway pavement cut moratorium for recently improved City streets. The purpose of the proposed moratorium is to protect the City's significant investment in roadway infrastructure by preserving the condition, appearance, and structural integrity of newly improved streets and maximizing the useful life of those improvements.
The proposed ordinance would generally prohibit pavement cuts, trenching, and other roadway excavation activities for a period of five (5) years following the completion of major City-funded roadway construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or asphalt overlay projects exceeding one-half inch in thickness. A three (3) year moratorium would apply to streets that have received less extensive pavement preservation treatments, such as thin asphalt overlays, chip seal, slurry seal, and micro-surfacing. The ordinance also establishes clear regulations governing excavation activities within recently improved streets while allowing exceptions for emergency repairs, utility failures, public safety needs, and other circumstances determined by the City to be in the public interest.
This item is being presented to the City Council for the second reading and adoption of Ordinance No. 26-2610 in accordance with the City's standard ordinance adoption process. Adoption of the ordinance will provide the City with an important tool to protect public infrastructure investments, reduce premature pavement deterioration, minimize future maintenance costs, and preserve the safety and quality of the City's transportation network.
II. RECOMMENDATION
CONDUCT a Second Reading by title only and with further reading waived, and ADOPT Ordinance No. 26-2010, “AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 4 (MORATORIUM ON ROADWAY PAVEMENT CUTS) TO ARTICLE II (STREETS) OF THE CARSON MUNICIPAL CODE TO IMPOSE MORATORIUM ON ROADWAY PAVEMENT CUTS.”
III. ALTERNATIVES
1. DO NOT APPROVE the above recommendation.
2. TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate, consistent with the requirements of the law.
IV. BACKGROUND
On June 16, 2026, under Item No. 31 of the City Council agenda, the City Council unanimously adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 26-2609U (Exhibit No. 1) and introduced Ordinance No. 26-2610 (Exhibit No. 2) establishing a roadway pavement cut moratorium for recently improved City streets. The purpose of the ordinances is to protect the City's significant investment in roadway infrastructure by preserving the condition, appearance, and structural integrity of newly improved streets. Each year, the City invests substantial public funds to repair, rehabilitate, reconstruct, and preserve its roadway network. When streets are excavated shortly after being improved, the integrity of the pavement can be compromised, resulting in premature deterioration, reduced roadway life, increased maintenance costs, and additional inconvenience to motorists and residents. The pavement cut moratorium is intended to maximize the useful life of roadway improvements and ensure that taxpayers receive the full benefit of these investments.
The urgency ordinance currently in effect, and the proposed permanent ordinance, prohibit pavement cuts, trenching, and other excavation activities within recently improved roadways for specified periods. Streets that have undergone major reconstruction, rehabilitation, resurfacing, or asphalt overlay improvements exceeding one- half inch in thickness are subject to a five-year moratorium on excavation activities. Streets that have received pavement preservation treatments, such as slurry seal, chip seal, micro-surfacing, or thin asphalt overlays, are subject to a three-year moratorium. These restrictions are intended to reduce premature pavement damage, minimize disruptions to the traveling public, and preserve the City's roadway assets.
The proposed ordinance also establishes a clear process for regulating excavation activities within moratorium streets while recognizing that certain circumstances may warrant exceptions. Exceptions are provided for emergency repairs, utility failures, service interruptions, public safety emergencies, and other situations determined by the City to be in the public interest. When excavation within a moratorium street is authorized, the City may require enhanced pavement restoration measures to ensure that the roadway is restored in a manner that maintains its structural integrity, functionality, and appearance.
This item is being presented to the City Council for the second reading and adoption of Ordinance No. 26-2610, which will complete the standard ordinance adoption process and formally incorporate the roadway pavement cut moratorium into the Carson Municipal Code. Staff recommends approval of the ordinance because it will provide the City with an important tool to protect public infrastructure investments, extend the useful life of City streets, improve coordination with utility providers and contractors, reduce long-term maintenance costs, and preserve the safety and quality of the City's transportation network.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the adoption of the proposed ordinances. However, implementation of the roadway pavement cut moratorium is expected to help protect the City's substantial investment in roadway infrastructure by extending pavement life, reducing premature deterioration, and minimizing future maintenance and rehabilitation costs.
