EXHIBIT A TO AMENDMENT NO. 1
MAINTENANCE SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH DUTHIE ELECTRIC SERVICE CORPORATION DATED FEBRUARY 1, 2024
ITEM NO. 6.3
MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joshua Nelson, City Manager
STAFF: Yvette Padilla, Management Analyst II
Bing Hyun, Asst. City Manager
DATE: July 24, 2025
SUBJECT: Consideration of Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Keenan & Associates for Claims Administration Services, extending the term through June 30, 2028, increasing compensation by $150,000.00, updating the Scope of Services, and updating the Rate Schedule
Background:
On June 23, 2022, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Keenan & Associates (“Keenan”) for property and casualty claims administration services in the amount of $154,500.00. Over the past eight years, Keenan has provided these services, assisting the City in investigating and processing claims filed against the City.
On June 26, 2025, the City Council approved the City’s membership in the California Intergovernmental Risk Authority (CIRA). Following this approval, the City will transition its claims administration services to George Hills, which will handle future claims from July 1, 2025, onwards. However, Keenan will continue to manage claims that are received prior to this date, under a separate run-off agreement.
Discussion:
This proposed Amendment will allow Keenan to continue providing claims administration services to the City for any claims filed prior to July 1, 2025, until they are fully resolved or closed. The term of this run-off agreement will extend through June 30, 2028, providing adequate time for the close-out of existing claims. The total amount for these services is $150,000.00, which reflects the remaining work required for the transition and closure of these claims.
Fiscal Impact:
The proposed Amendment not-to-exceed compensation is based on an hourly rate for services performed. The actual number of hours will fluctuate depending on how many claims the City receives and their complexity. Payments to claimants are paid directly by the City, so those costs are not included in Agreement. The fiscal impact for this Agreement will be reflected in proposed budgets for each corresponding fiscal year (Account No. 100-507-5815 – Insurance Claims – Administrative).
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Amendment.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Change Order No. 1 and Deductive Change Order No. 2 and Notice of Completion for Contract No. CITY-1513, Citywide Traffic Signal Safety Lights Upgrade, with Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc.
Background:
On March 8, 2024, the City Manager approved Contract No. CITY-1513 for the Citywide Traffic Signal Safety Lights Upgrade, with Bear Electrical Solutions, Inc. (“Contractor”), in the amount of $94,220.00. This project involved the removal and disposal of existing high pressure sodium vapor (HPS) luminaires and photocells, installation of City-furnished LED luminaires, installing pole numbers on traffic poles, and Ubicquia remote monitoring system wireless controller (Nodes) on 442 safety lights at 74 intersections.
Discussion:
After the project was awarded, Staff issued a plan exhibit to the Contractor to install devices on traffic signal poles that could be used for a future license plate camera reader project.
Additionally, final field quantities have been measured and completed.
As of July 11, 2025, the Director of Public Works has reviewed the change order for completeness and accuracy as to the materials and labor included:
• Change Order No. 1 – After the project was awarded, Staff began the value engineering process on the proposed license plate camera reader project to evaluate materials, design, and construction methods to lower costs by incorporating components of it into this project. Staff’s analysis concluded that it is most efficient and cost effective to
integrate some of the specific materials and construction methods in this project that would reduce future costs related to a license plate camera reader project. Additionally, Staff coordinated with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s department to identify the strategic intersections in the City to optimize the effectiveness of this work. Labor and materials at five intersections included installation of Nema communication enclosures, power panels, #10 wires, #8 wires and associated necessary construction activities to complete the work. The total cost for this change order is $58,596.00.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joshua Nelson, City Manager
STAFF: Bing Hyun, Asst. City Manager
Kathy Tai, Dev. Services Manager
DATE: July 24, 2025
SUBJECT: Introduction of Ordinance No. 837, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF INDUSTRY, CALIFORNIA, ADDING
SECTION 15.28.200 (FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES) TO CHAPTER
15.28 (FIRE CODE) OF TITLE 15 (BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION)
OF THE CITY OF INDUSTRY MUNICIPAL CODE, AND ADOPTING A
NOTICE OF EXEMPTION REGARDING SAME
Background:
The California Office of the State Fire Marshal ("OSFM") updates fire hazard severity zone maps for Local Responsibility Areas (LRAs) throughout the State. These maps identify varying levels of fire hazards (Moderate, High, and Very High) based on factors including vegetation, topography, weather, crown fire potential, and ember production and movement. State law requires cities to adopt the maps by ordinance within 120 days of receipt, to ensure proper implementation of associated building standards and fire safety requirements in identified hazard zones.
Discussion:
On March 24, 2025, the City received its LRA FHSZ map from OSFM. The map was made available for review and comment at the City Hall public counter beginning April 22, 2025. No comments were received.
The City may not decrease the level of fire hazard severity zones identified by OSFM, and may only increase zone levels or add areas within its jurisdiction. Ordinance No. 837 does not include any changes or increases to the classifications recommended by OSFM.
A review was also performed on City-owned properties outside its boundaries. The FHSZ maps show that the properties - specifically Fellows Camp, Tonner Canyon, and Tres Hermanos - are classified as State Responsibility Areas and designated as high or very high fire hazard areas.
The City is not required to adopt those FHSZ maps. However, in the future, the City may have greater costs if improvements are under taken at those locations due to more stringent building requirements for high or very high fire hazard areas.
Fiscal Impact:
The adoption of the map will not result in a direct fiscal impact, as the fire hazard zone designations do not impose any immediate financial obligations on the City. However, future fiscal impacts may arise, as areas classified as high or very high areas may be required to meet more stringent building requirements.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council: 1) waive the reading of Ordinance No. 837, and read by title only; and 2) introduce Ordinance No. 836, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Industry, California, adding Section 15.28.200 (Fire Hazard Severity Zones) to Chapter 15.28 (Fire Code) of Title 15 (Buildings and Construction) of the City of Industry Municipal Code, and adopting a notice of exemption regarding same.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF INDUSTRY, CALIFORNIA, ADDING SECTION 15.28.200 (FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES) TO CHAPTER 15.28 (FIRE CODE) OF TITLE 15 (BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION) OF THE CITY OF
INDUSTRY MUNICIPAL CODE, AND ADOPTING A NOTICE OF EXEMPTION
REGARDING SAME
WHEREAS, the California Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) is responsible for classifying lands into Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZs) in both State Responsibility Areas (SRAs) and Local Responsibility Areas (LRAs); and WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 51178 and Public Resources Code Section 4202, the OSFM is required to identify areas in the state as moderate, high, or very high fire hazard severity zones based on consistent statewide criteria, and based on the severity of fire hazard that is expected to prevail in those areas; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 51179, cities must designate, by ordinance, moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones in their jurisdictions within 120 days of receiving OSFM’s recommended FHSZ designations for lands within their local jurisdictions. On March 24, 2025, the OSFM released updated and recommended LRA FHSZ map for the City of Industry (“City”); and WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 51179(b)(3), the City may not decrease the level of fire hazard severity zone as identified by OSFM, and may only increase the level of fire hazard severity zone within its jurisdiction. The City is not proposing any changes or increases to the classifications recommended by OSFM; and WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF INDUSTRY, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 4. Adoption of 2025 Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map.
The Local Responsibility Area (LRA) Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) map as identified by the California Office of the State Fire Marshal, attached hereto as Attachment A and incorporated by reference, is hereby adopted.
SECTION 5. Clerical Errors.
The City Council directs the City Clerk to correct any clerical errors found in this Chapter, including, but not limited to, typographical errors, irregular numbering, and incorrect section references.
SECTION 6. Severability.
Should any section, subsection, clause, or provisions of this Ordinance for any reason be held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such invalidity of unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this Ordinance; it being hereby expressly declared that this Ordinance, and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, and phrase hereof would have been prepared, proposed, approved, and ratified irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared invalid, unenforceable, or unconstitutional.
SECTION 7. Effective Date.
In accordance with California Government Code § 36937, this Ordinance shall take effect and be in force thirty (30) days from passage and adoption.
