MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joshua Nelson, City Manager
STAFF: Yamini Pathak, Finance Director
DATE: June 25, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution No. 2026-17, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Industry, California, Approving Blanket Purchase Orders for Vendors Totaling $10,000.00 and Over for FY 2026-2027
Background:
Annually, after the City’s operating budget is adopted, the Finance Department presents to the City Council for its consideration, a blanket purchase order (“BPO”) Vendor List for vendors with whom the City anticipates spending over $10,000.00 in the fiscal year. On June 11, 2026, the City Council approved and adopted the City’s Operating Budget for FY 2026-27 (“FY 27”). The FY 27 BPO Vendor List was developed in line with the FY 27 Adopted Budget, and in accordance with the City’s Code.
Discussion:
BPOs are a customary financial practice among cities in California, and in summary, are utilized to pay for goods and supplies, professional or maintenance services, and/or equipment with vendors that the City regularly conducts business with during the fiscal year. Although most BPOs can be created under the City Manager’s purchasing authority, as an added level of fiscal control and transparency, at the beginning of each fiscal year a list of BPOs for vendors with whom the City regularly conducts business, that total $10,000.00 and over annually, is presented to Council for formal approval, as stated in City’s Procurement Policy. This streamlines the purchasing process where necessary and assists staff to efficiently obtain goods and supplies, professional or maintenance services, and/or equipment to tend to its day-to-day operations.
BPOs are not intended to bypass or supersede the bidding provisions as outlined in the City’s Code or intended to bypass the City’s standard agreements and terms. Departments must adhere to the requirements of the City’s procurement policy, and must obtain informal bidding, quotes, or go through a formal procurement process as necessary. Finance will strictly enforce the procurement policy, and ensure departments are adhering to the correct purchasing procedures.
As such, outlined below is a summary of the City’s Code, as it pertains to the Purchasing and Bidding Procedures (Chapter 3.04), that departments must follow and adhere to when obtaining goods and supplies, professional or maintenance services, and/or equipment.
Any additional purchase orders beyond dollar amounts approved in the BPO will be submitted to the City Manager or City Council, following procedures set forth in the City Code and Purchasing Policy.
Supplies & Equipment (Section 3.04.050) - For supplies and equipment, purchases of $100,000.00 and under may be made at the discretion of the City Manager.
Upon the approval of the City Council, BPOs will be created for all vendors the City regularly conducts business with for supplies and equipment for FY 27.
Pursuant to Section 3.04.040 of the Code, purchases of supplies and equipment over $100,000.00 require a formal bidding process and formal approval by the Council. Should items over $100,000.00 be taken to Council during the current fiscal year, BPOs will be created for these items as Council approves them.
Services (Section 3.04.055) - Procurement of professional services of an estimated value of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) or less may be made by the city manager at his or her discretion on the open market without specific solicitation or competitive bidding requirements.
Professional services greater than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) shall require prior approval by the city council.
The City is proposing BPOs for services that include on-going periodic facilities maintenance, car services for City vehicles, newspaper bid advertising services, or restroom rentals where needed, for vendors the City regularly conducts business with. These services exclude public works projects. The City is requesting BPOs to streamline the purchase order and invoice processing flow for repetitive, required services for day-to-day operations.
BPO Vendor List for FY 27
The BPO Vendor List for FY 27, attached as Exhibit A, includes all vendors with whom the City regularly conducts business. The BPO amounts are estimated amounts based on historical spending levels; all BPO amounts are in line with the FY 27 Adopted Budget.
Fiscal Impact:
The BPOs for all vendors listed in Exhibit A total $865,000.00. This has been accounted for and included in the FY 27 Adopted Budget.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-17, approving the BPO Vendor List for vendors totaling $10,000.00 and over for FY 27.
Exhibits:
1. COI Resolution Blanket Purchase Orders FY 27

WHEREAS, in FY 2016-17 (“FY 17”), the Financial Services Department (“Finance”) implemented several new internal controls and financial procedures Citywide, in which blanket purchase orders (“BPOs”) were identified as a critical fiscal control that allows the City and staff to procure goods and supplies, professional or maintenance services, and/or equipment in a timely manner to efficiently administer the day-to-day operations of the City; and
WHEREAS, BPOs are a customary financial practice among cities in California; and in summary, are utilized to pay for goods and services with vendors that the City regularly conducts business with during the fiscal year; and WHEREAS, annually, after the City’s operating budget is adopted, the Finance Department presents to the City Council for its consideration, a BPO Vendor List for all vendors with whom the City anticipates spending over $10,000.00 in the upcoming fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, on June 11, 2026, the City Council approved and adopted the City’s Operating Budget and budgets for other entities for FY 2026-27 (“FY 27”); and WHEREAS, the FY 27 BPO Vendor List was developed in accordance with Chapter 3.04 of the City of Industry’s Municipal Code as it pertains to purchasing and bidding procedures; and
WHEREAS, the FY 27 BPO Vendor List was also developed in accordance with the FY 27 Adopted Budget.

Section 3. The City Council authorizes the City Manager, and/or his designee, to prepare and execute all BPOs identified and listed on said Exhibit A.
Section 4. The provisions of this Resolution are severable and if any provision, clause, sentence, word or part thereof is held illegal, invalid, unconstitutional, or inapplicable to any person or circumstances, such illegality, invalidity, unconstitutionality, or inapplicability shall not affect or impair any of the remaining provisions, clauses, sentences, sections, words or parts thereof of the Resolution or their applicability to other persons or circumstances.
Section 5. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this resolution and that the same shall be in full force and effect.

Background:
Periodically, the City receives requests from non-profit organizations and public agencies for funding assistance to support programs and services that serve a public purpose in the local community. The City maintains excellent relationships with many of the organizations it has supported in the past and therefore continues to provide support on an annual basis. Last year, in order to establish a more streamlined and efficient approach to partnering with these entities, the City Council adopted a Resolution approving donations to nine (9) organizations and public agencies in the San Gabriel Valley that the City supports annually for $5,000.00 or under, for fiscal year 2025-2026.
Discussion:
For fiscal year 2026-2027, Staff is proposing Resolution No. CC 2026-18, approving donations to the same organizations and public agencies as listed below, for amounts up to five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) each, through June 30, 2027:

4. Pacific Crest Youth Arts Organization
5. San Gabriel Valley LGBTQ Center
6. La Puente Valley Women’s Club
7. City of Hope
8. La Puente Valley Historical Society
9. Hacienda La Puente Unified School District
In the event that any of the nine (9) entities listed above request a subsequent donation that would exceed their total allowed amount of $5,000.00, a second donation could be authorized under the City Manager’s authority, provided it is within the $1,000.00 limit. Otherwise, the request will be submitted for City Council consideration.
Fiscal Impact:
In the Fiscal Year 2026/27 budget, $371,000.00 is proposed for Donations for Community Promotions and Economic Development. No appropriations are required at this time (Account No. 100-621-5602).

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joshua Nelson, City Manager
STAFF:
DATE: June 25, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution No. 2026-19, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Industry, California, Establishing a Policy for Handling Technical Disruptions During Public Meetings
Background:
In 2025, the State Legislature adopted Senate Bill 707 (“SB 707”), which updated the Brown Act, and effective July 1, 2026, “eligible legislative bodies” must provide remote public participation at public meetings via a two-way audio visual platform, or two-way telephonic service. The provisions of SB 707 further require an “eligible legislative body” to adopt a policy regarding the disruption of internet or telephonic service during a public meeting by July 1, 2026.
Discussion:
The City Council is an “eligible legislative body” because the City is located in a county with a population of 600,000 or more. Beginning in July 2026, the City will provide remote access to City Council meetings in accordance with the requirements of SB 707.
The proposed SB 707 policy (“Policy”) provides that in the event a Councilmember or City Staff become aware of a disruption to the remote access, that the meeting will be recessed, and a good faith effort will be made to restore service. Under the requirements of SB 707, the meeting must remain adjourned for the lesser of one hour, or until service is restored.
In the event that service is restored within an hour, the City Council may continue the meeting.
Should the disruption continue for longer than an hour, a Councilmember may make a motion to adopt findings that good faith efforts were made to restore services to the platform, and shall name those efforts, and that the public interest in continuing the meeting outweighs the public interest in remote public access. A vote shall then be taken on the motion. In the alternative, a Councilmember may make a motion to adjourn the meeting, subject to a majority vote.
Fiscal Impact:
While the proposed Policy does not carry a fiscal impact, there are fiscal impacts associated
with the implementation of the required remote access.
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. CC 2026-19.
Exhibits:
1. COI City Council Resolution SB 707
RESOLUTION NO. CC 2026-19
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF INDUSTRY,
CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR HANDLING TECHNICAL
DISRUPTIONS DURING PUBLIC MEETINGS
RECITALS

WHEREAS, in accordance with the provisions of SB 707, the City Council is an “eligible legislative body” because the City is located in a county with a population of 600,000 or more; and
WHEREAS, SB 707 further requires that prior to July 1, 2026, the City Council adopt a policy regarding the disruption of internet or telephonic service during a public meeting; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to adopt a policy in compliance with the provisions of SB 707.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF INDUSTRY DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE, FIND, AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 2: The following shall constitute the City Council’s SB 707 policy (“Policy”):
a. The Policy applies to all meetings of the City Council conducted via two-way audio visual or telephonic platforms.
b. In the event a Councilmember or City Staff become aware of a disruption of the aforementioned platforms (loss of audio visual feed, telephonic access, or livestream, etc.), such person shall notify the City Clerk or the Mayor. The legislative body shall recess the meeting, and shall make an announcement that the meeting is being recessed due to a technical disruption. c. During the recess, the City shall make a good faith effort to restore service.
This includes, but is not limited to, contacting technical support, troubleshooting connectivity issues, or switching to a back-up system (if any). The City Clerk shall document all steps taken to restore service.
d. If service is restored within one hour, the City Council may resume the meeting. e. In the event service is not restored within one hour, a Councilmember may make a motion to adopt findings that good faith efforts were made to restore
services to the platform, and shall name those efforts, and that the public interest in continuing the meeting outweighs the public interest in remote public access. A vote shall then be taken on the motion. In the alternative, a Councilmember may make a motion to adjourn the meeting, subject to a majority vote.
SECTION 3: The provisions of this Resolution are severable and if any provision, clause, sentence, word or part thereof is held illegal, invalid, unconstitutional, or inapplicable to any person or circumstances, such illegality, invalidity, unconstitutionally, or inapplicability shall not affect or impair any of the remaining provisions, clauses, sentences, sections, word or parts thereof of the Resolution of their applicability to other persons or circumstances.
SECTION 4: That the City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution and the same shall be in full force and effect.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joshua Nelson, City Manager
STAFF: Mathew Hudson, Director of Public Works
James Cramsie, Sr. Director of Engineering
DATE: June 25, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of Agreement between the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority for participation in a joint Dominguez Channel/Harbor Toxic Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Monitoring Program
Background:
On May 11, 2011, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region adopted the “Dominguez Channel and Greater Harbors Toxic TMDL”. This Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requires cities and agencies (permittees) tributary to the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers to conduct monitoring for toxic pollutants as defined by that TMDL. These pollutants and the associated testing method require the installation of specialized monitoring equipment. To reduce costs, the Gateway Water Management Authority (GWMA) was requested to act as the fiduciary agent for the installation of and subsequent monitoring of three monitoring stations at three different locations. All participating permittees will share the cost, responsibility and testing results.
The three monitoring stations will be located at or near:
• The existing Los Angeles River mass emission station at Wardlow • Spring Street and the San Gabriel River (a new installation) • The existing Coyote Creek mass emission station at Spring Street On May 28, 2015, the Council approved the agreement with GWMA for cost sharing for the installation and subsequent monitoring of the three (3) stations listed above. The agreement went into effect on July 1, 2015 and is set to expire on June 30, 2018.
On June 28, 2018, the Council approved the agreement with GWMA for cost sharing for the continued monitoring of the three (3) stations listed above. The agreement went into effect on July 1, 2018 and expired on June 30, 2023.
On August 10, 2023, the Council approved the agreement with GWMA for cost sharing for the continued monitoring of the three (3) stations listed above. The agreement went into effect on July 1, 2023 and expired on June 30, 2026.
Discussion:
To continue to participate in the program, permittees will be required to sign an Agreement with GWMA. Due to the number of permittees involved, the Agreement is not subject to altering or customization. Cost shares were developed based on each watershed group paying a fee based on percentage of area within the watershed area. The City is a non-member of GWMA, and GWMA will assess non-members a 10 percent fee for direct administrative costs and 5 percent fee for indirect administrative costs to support the implementation of this program.
Fiscal Impact:
The group has agreed that the total annual cost for monitoring of the three locations for all participants will not exceed $139,953.10 for FY 2026-27, $145,552.82 for FY 2027-28, $151,372.92 for FY 2028-29, $157,430.11 for FY 2029-30 and $163,724.37 for FY 2030-31. The group will provide funding in accordance with the cost allocation formula, which is based on percentage of area within the watershed area along with an administrative fee. See Exhibit ‘A’ of the Agreement for further details of the Cost Allocation Formula breakdown.
The Agreement has outlined the portion of the monitoring costs and administrative fees the City will be responsible to contribute. The City will contribute $1,851.33 for FY 2026-27, $1,925.40 for FY 2027-28, $2,002.39 for FY 2028-29, $2,082.52 for FY 2029-30 and $2,165.78 for FY 2030-31. The City will be invoiced by GWMA on an annual basis, which includes proportional share of the Monitoring Costs and administrative fees. The terms of the agreement shall begin on July 1, 2026 and expire on June 30, 2031.
Recommendation:
It is hereby recommended that the City Council approve the Agreement.

AND MONITORING PURSUANT TO THE HARBOR TOXIC POLLUTANTS TMDL This Agreement is made and entered into as of April 9, 2026 by and between the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority (“GWMA”), a California Joint Powers Authority, and the City of Industry, (the “Permittee”). The Permittee and the GWMA are collectively referred to as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the mission of the GWMA includes the equitable protection and management of water resources within its area;
WHEREAS, for the purposes of this Agreement, the term “MS4 Permittees” shall mean those public agencies that are co-permittees to a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Permit (“MS4 Permit”) issued by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (“Regional Board”); WHEREAS, the United States Environmental Protection Agency established the Total Maximum Daily Loads (“TMDL”) for Toxic Pollutants on March 23, 2012, with the intent of protecting and improving water quality in the Dominguez Channel and the Greater Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbor Waters (“Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL”); WHEREAS, the Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL regulates certain discharges from National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) permit holders, requiring organization and cooperation among the MS4 Permittees;
WHEREAS, the Permittee manages, drains or conveys storm water into at least a portion of the Los Angeles River including its estuary or Coyote Creek or the San Gabriel River;
WHEREAS, various MS4 Permittees desire to achieve the objectives of the Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL by continuing to maintain the monitoring station in the Los Angeles River at Wardlow Road, monitoring station in the San Gabriel River near Spring Street, and monitoring station in the Coyote Creek, also near Spring Street and conducting monitoring at said monitoring stations (collectively “Monitoring Stations”) to ensure consistency with other regional monitoring programs and usability with other TMDL related studies;
WHEREAS, continuing maintenance of the Monitoring Stations and future monitoring requires administrative coordination for the various MS4 Permittees that the GWMA can and is willing to provide;

Section 7. Financial Terms.
(a) Annual Payment Amount. The Permittee shall pay no more than the following amounts for each of the five fiscal years (June 30-July 1) listed below (“Annual Payment Amount”):
Fiscal Year 2026-2027:
One Thousand, Six Hundred Nine Dollars and Eighty-Five Cents ($1,609.85) Fiscal Year 2027-2028:
One Thousand, Six Hundred Seventy-Four Dollars and Twenty-Six Cents ($1,674.26) Fiscal Year 2028-2029:
One Thousand, Seven Hundred Forty-One Dollars and Twenty-One Cents ($1,741.21) Fiscal Year 2029-2030:
One Thousand, Eight Hundred Ten Dollars and Eighty-Eight Cents ($1,810.88) Fiscal Year 2030-2031:
One Thousand, Eight Hundred Eighty-Three Dollars and Twenty-Nine Cents ($1,883.29)
Each Annual Payment Amount includes the Permittee’s Cost Share Amount identified in Exhibit “A”, attached hereto and incorporated herein.
(b) Administrative Costs. In addition to the Annual Payment Amount, the Permittee shall also pay its proportional share of the GWMA’s staff time for hiring the consultants, managing the consultants’ contracts, and invoicing the Permittee and legal fees incurred by the GWMA in the performance of its duties under this Agreement (“Direct Costs”), and audit expenses and other overhead costs (“Indirect Costs”), referred to collectively herein as the “Administrative Costs Payment Amount”. The Administrative Costs Payment Amount will be added to the Permittee’s annual invoice to cover the Permittee’s share of the administrative costs.
i. GWMA Members. If the Permittee is a GWMA Member, then the Administrative Costs Payment Amount does not include the GWMA’s Indirect Costs, which GWMA Members absorb as part of their annual membership dues. The rate charged to GWMA Members in order to recover the Direct Costs portion of the Administrative Costs Payment Amount will range between zero percent (0%) and five percent (5%) of the of the Permittee’s Cost Share Amount identified in Exhibit “A.” On an annual basis the GWMA will evaluate the percentage rate charged to GWMA Members to ensure it adequately recovers the GWMA’s cost of performing its duties under this Agreement. Based on this review, the GWMA Board will establish the rate charged to recover its Direct Costs for the next fiscal year. The GWMA will provide the Permittee, through the respective Chairs of the Lower San Gabriel River and Lower Los Angeles River Watershed Management Groups, fifteen (15) days’ written notice prior to July 1st of the fiscal year in which a new rate will take effect.
03/16/26
12664/0001/3227079-1
ii. Non-GWMA Members. If the Permittee is not a GWMA
Member, then the Administrative Costs Payment Amount will include the GWMA’s Indirect Costs. The rate charged to Non-GWMA Members in order to recover Direct Costs will range between five percent (5%) and ten percent (10%) of the Permittee’s Cost Share Amount identified in Exhibit “A.” The rate charged to Non-GWMA Members in order to recover Indirect Costs will range between two percent (2%) and five percent (5%) of the Permittee’s Cost Share Amount identified in Exhibit “A.” On an annual basis the GWMA will evaluate the percentage rates for both Direct and Indirect Costs charged to NonGWMA Members to ensure they adequately recover the GWMA’s cost of performing its duties under this MOU. Based on this review, the GWMA Board may increase or decrease the rates charged to recover its Direct and Indirect Costs for the next fiscal year. The GWMA will provide the Permittee, through the respective Chairs of the Lower San Gabriel River and Lower Los Angeles River Watershed Management Groups, fifteen (15) days’ written notice prior to July 1st of the fiscal year in which a new rate will take effect.
(c) Adjustment of Cost Share Based on Number of Participants. The Annual Payment Amount and the Administrative Costs Payment Amount identified in this Section 7 (“Financial Terms”) represent the maximum dollar amounts that the Permittee is required to submit to the GWMA, but may be reduced based on the final number of MS4 Permittees that participate in the cost sharing for the Monitoring Costs. (d) Reserve Credits. If the actual cost share amount plus administrative costs collected by GWMA from all participating permittees in the Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL program are less than the Annual Payment Amount, plus the Administrative Costs Payment Amount, paid by all permittees in a particular year, then the GWMA will notify the Chairs of the Lower San Gabriel River and Lower Los Angeles River Watershed Management Groups. The Chairs will direct GWMA on how to apply the excess balance, which may include carrying the balance over to cover permittee costs in one or more subsequent years. GWMA reserves the right to transfer funds from the excess balance to maintain a minimum balance of $10,000 in its account dedicated to the Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL program at all times, per GWMA’s Administrative Budget Policy.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Administrative Costs Payment Amount charged to nonGWMA Members for Indirect Costs will be retained by GWMA and is not subject to a credit.
(e) Funds remaining in the possession of the GWMA at the expiration or earlier termination of this MOU shall be promptly returned to the Permittee in proportion to the Cost Share Amount identified in Exhibit “A” or rolled over into the subsequent MOU for the Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL if requested by the Permittee. (f) The Permittee’s Annual Payment Amount and Administrative Costs Payment Amount for the 2026-2027 fiscal year are due upon execution of this Agreement, but in no event later than September 30, 2026. For each subsequent fiscal year, commencing with the 2027-2028 fiscal year, the GWMA shall submit annual invoices to the Permittee for the Annual Payment Amount and Administrative Costs Payment Amount. Upon receiving an invoice from GWMA, each Permittee shall pay the Annual

12664/0001/3227079-1
Payment Amount and Administrative Costs Payment Amount set forth in the invoice to the GWMA within forty-five (45) days of receipt.
(g) The Permittee shall be delinquent if its invoiced payment is not received by the GWMA within forty-five (45) days after the invoice’s date. If the Permittee is delinquent, the GWMA will: 1) verbally contact the representative of the Permittee; and 2) submit a formal letter from the GWMA Executive Officer to the Permittee at the address listed in Section 11 of this Agreement. If payment is not received within sixty (60) days of the original invoice date, the GWMA may terminate this Agreement. However, no such termination may be ordered unless the GWMA first provides the Permittee with thirty (30) days written notice of its intent to terminate the Agreement. The terminated Permittee shall remain obligated to GWMA for its delinquent payments and any other obligations incurred prior to the date of termination. If the GWMA terminates this Agreement because the Permittee is delinquent in its payment, the Permittee shall no longer be entitled to the monitoring data collected from the Monitoring Stations. (h) Any delinquent payments by the Permittee shall accrue compound interest at the average rate of interest paid by the Local Agency Investment Fund during the time that the payment is delinquent.
Section 8. Independent Contractor.
(a) The GWMA is, and shall at all times remain, a wholly independent contractor for performance of the obligations described in this Agreement. The GWMA’s officers, officials, employees and agents shall at all times during the term of this Agreement be under the exclusive control of the GWMA. The Permittee cannot control the conduct of the GWMA or any of its officers, officials, employees or agents. The GWMA and its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall not be deemed to be employees of the Permittee.
(b) The GWMA is solely responsible for the payment of salaries, wages, other compensation, employment taxes, workers’ compensation, or similar taxes for its employees and consultants performing services hereunder.
Section 9. Indemnification and Warranty.
(a) The Permittee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the GWMA and its officers, employees, and other representatives and agents from and against any and all liabilities, actions, suits proceedings, claims, demands, losses, costs, and expenses, including legal costs and attorney’s fees, for injury to or death of person(s), for damage to property (including property owned by the GWMA) for negligent or intentional acts, errors and omissions committed by the Permittee or its officers, employees, and agents, arising out of or related to that Permittee’s performance under this Agreement, except for such loss as may be caused by GWMA’s negligence or that of its officers, employees, or other representatives and agents, excluding the consultant. (b) GWMA makes no guarantee or warranty that any monitoring data prepared by the consultants shall be approved by the relevant governmental authorities.
03/16/26
12664/0001/3227079-1
GWMA shall have no liability to the Permittee for the negligent or intentional acts or omissions of GWMA’s consultants.
Section 10. Termination.
(a) The Permittee may terminate this Agreement for any reason, or no reason, by giving the GWMA prior written notice thereof, but the Permittee shall remain responsible for its entire Annual Payment Amount through the end of the current fiscal year during which Permittee terminates the Agreement and shall not be entitled any refund of any portion of said Annual Payment Amount. Moreover, unless the Permittee provides written notice of termination to the GWMA by February 15th immediately prior to a new fiscal year, the Permittee shall also be responsible for its Annual Payment Amount through the end of such new fiscal year (by way of example only, if the Permittee terminates on March 1st, 2027, the Permittee is responsible for the Annual Payment Amounts for both fiscal years 2026-2027 and 2027-2028. If the Permittee terminates on February 10, 2027, the Permittee is responsible for its Annual Payment Amount only for Fiscal year 2026-2027, not for fiscal year 2027-2028). If the Permittee terminates the Agreement, the Permittee shall remain liable for any loss, debt, or liability otherwise incurred through the end of the new fiscal year.
(b) The GWMA may, with a vote of the GWMA Board, terminate this Agreement upon not less than thirty (30) days written notice to the Permittee. Any remaining funds not due and payable or otherwise legally committed to Consultant shall be returned to the Permittee.
Section 11. Miscellaneous.
(a) Other NPDES Permit Holders. Individual or general NPDES permit holders who are not MS4 Permittees that receive Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL monitoring requirements in their NPDES permits may wish to participate in this cost share for the Monitoring Costs in order to receive the monitoring data collected from the Monitoring Stations. Upon receipt of a written request from an NPDES permit holder to participate in this cost share, the GWMA will either reject or accept the NPDES permit holder’s participation in the cost share arrangement. If accepted, the NPDES permit holder will enter into a separate cost share agreement with the GWMA that will require the NPDES permit holder to pay annually at least twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) (“Private Monitoring Fee”) for the Monitoring Costs, with an annual cost of living adjustment based on the CPI-All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles Area as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (or any successor thereto). The calculation shall be made using the immediate prior 12-month index ending in January. Failure to pay the Private Monitoring Fee by the date set forth in the cost share agreement will result in termination of the NPDES permit holder’s participant status.
An NPDES permit holder accepted as a participant will only be entitled to receive the monitoring data collected from the Monitoring Stations for any fiscal year in which the participant has paid its Private Monitoring Fee. The Private Monitoring Fee will be applied as a credit toward the Permittee’s Annual Payment Amount in proportion to the Permittee’s Cost Share Amount identified in Exhibit “A.”

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joshua Nelson, City Manager
STAFF: Sam Pedroza, Asst. City Manager
Yvette Padilla, Management Analyst II
DATE: June 25, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of Amendment No. 3 to the Professional Services Agreement with Historical Resources, Inc., for Administration and Management Services at Homestead Museum, extending the term through June 30, 2027, revising the rate schedule, and increasing compensation by $685,100.00
Background:
On June 25, 2020, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement ("Agreement") with Historical Resources, Inc. (“HRI”) to provide administration and management services for the Homestead Museum. Amendment No. 1 was approved on July 8, 2021, updating the Rate Schedule, revising the City Hall address, clarifying indemnity provisions for independent contractors, and adjusting the Agreement term to begin July 1, 2021, to align with the fiscal year.
On June 22, 2023, the City Council approved Amendment No. 2, which extended the Agreement through June 30, 2026, updated the scope of services, revised the Rate Schedule, and increased total compensation by $1,960,413.65.
Discussion:
HRI continues to provide administration and management services for the Homestead Museum, including oversight of museum operations, historical programming, collections management, and public engagement activities. The services provided by HRI support the City’s ongoing commitment to preserving and promoting the historical and cultural significance of the Homestead Museum for the community and visitors.
The proposed Amendment No. 3 will extend the term of the Agreement through June 30, 2027, revise the Rate Schedule, and increase compensation by $685,100.00. In addition, Amendment No. 3 will revise Section 7 of the Agreement to reflect updated office payment rates.
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact of the amendment is $685,100.00 for the one-year extension, with $660,100.00 for administration and management services and $25,000 for reimbursable expenses. Funding for administration and management services is included in the adopted FY 2026/27 budget, however, only $607,000.00 was adopted due to the timing of budget preparation and ongoing contract negotiation, leaving a difference of $53,100.00. A budget appropriation is requested at this time for $53,100.00 in General Fund-Workman Temple Homestead-Museum Agreement (Account no. 100-626-8500), to ensure that the FY 2026/27 budget is in line with the amended amount.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Amendment No. 3 and a budget appropriation of $53,100.00 for General Fund-Workman Temple Homestead-Museum Agreement (Account no. 100-626-8500).

(“PlanetBids”) for online vendor and bid management services in an amount not to exceed $217,784.31 through December 30, 2020. PlanetBids provides a web-based procurement platform that allows the City to advertise and manage public solicitations, including construction bids, Requests for Proposals (RFPs), and Requests for Qualifications (RFQs).
On August 11, 2021, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1, which extended the term of the Agreement through June 30, 2026, and increased compensation by $201,266.59.
Discussion:
PlanetBids has served as the City's online procurement and bid management provider for approximately ten years. The platform has enabled the City to efficiently advertise public solicitations, manage vendor registrations, distribute bid documents, and receive electronic bid submissions.
Staff is currently evaluating available procurement platforms and intends to research alternative service providers to ensure the City continues to receive the best value and functionality for its procurement needs. To allow sufficient time for this evaluation and any potential transition to a new platform, Amendment No. 2 will extend the term of the Agreement for an additional oneyear period through June 30, 2027. Amendment No. 2 will also increase compensation by $21,527.61 and update the rate schedule.
