Councilman Galvan raised concerns that the proper procedures were not followed relative to the appointment for the District 1 City Council seat and asked that the City Attorney address concerns of an email submitted by Albert Robles.
City Attorney Eric Perrodin indicated that the vote to appoint Deidra Duhart to fill the vacant District 1 Council seat was 2-1 in the affirmative with 1 (one) abstention which would constitute a majority of Councilpersons present in favor of the appointment and due to the fact that the Compton City Charter is silent on the required number of affirmative votes necessary to fill a vacancy, it is his opinion as the City Attorney of the City of Compton that Deidra Duhart has been duly appointed to fill the vacant City Council seat in District 1.

Benjamin Holifield, President/Founder of the Compton Business Chamber of Commerce announced that his wife had passed away and further detailed her legacy with the Compton College Board. Mr. Holifield noted that her name was removed from the Compton College Library and thanked the City Council for the resolution in support of her name being restored to the College Library.
DeShawn Watkins, creator of Compton Wrestling Mania, announced that the next Compton Mania will take place on May 11, 2022, which will be the City of Compton’s 134th Birthday Celebration. The event will take place at 821 W. Rosecrans Avenue in Compton and will feature some of the finest wrestlers in the Country. Mr. Watkins then introduced Mr. Shilo and other wrestlers who will be attending the event.
Linda Kelly, Executive Director of Fathers and Mothers Who Care, commented that they are a nonprofit organization that provide homeless services in this community with jobs, food and clothing. Ms. Kelly urged the City Council to authorize the City Manager to enter into the contract with the MIG Inc. to prepare for the General Plan update. She then indicated that she agrees with the General Plan and the update, however, it is disappointing that the City has taken 11 years to do this. Ms. Kelly further stated that it is still not clear whether the City is planning to update its housing element as a part of this work, and added that this should be clarified and included in the contract with MIG Inc. Ms. Kelly further questioned how the consultant and the City will prioritize the work on the different elements that she has previously brought to the City’s attention. Ms.
Kelly concluded by indicating that Compton is not complying with State housing laws and will lose critical funding.
Nathan Enayati stated that he operates a family-owned business and owns Studio 60 Film Studios in South Central Los Angeles and indicated that he purchased a building at 3212 N. Alameda Street, however, the business was shut down because they did not have a certificate of occupancy.
Mr. Enayati explained that before they purchased the business, he invited City administration to visit the location to ensure that the intended use of the building was allowed. Mr. Enayati indicated that it took the City five months to review their building plans. He then stated that this procedure is a multiyear project, which is the reason they requested that each individual be allowed to request their own individual filming permit. Mr. Enayati then indicated that the entertainer Rihanna applied to film in the City, however, the request for a film permit was denied by the City.
Mr. Enayati indicated that his company’s goal is to bring Hollywood to Compton which would benefit the residents, and he further requested that the City provide him with a temporary certificate of occupancy.
Lynn Boone commented that attorneys have submitted paperwork relative to the recent District 1 appointment and further indicated that actions of the City Council must come under a resolution or an ordinance in order to be valid. Ms. Boone accused the City Attorney and the City Council of acting illegally and violating the City Charter by making an appointment to the District 1 City Council seat without an ordinance or resolution.
Jackie Venters requested transparency from the City Council and further expressed her frustration that the City Council does not act on behalf of the citizens. Ms. Venters noted that the City is missing a lot of grant funding which affects the residents. She also stated that the Council must provide truth, trust, transparency and accountability. Ms. Venters noted that there are insufficient services for the homeless of the community. She asked that the City put a public safety plan in action.
Dawn Franks commented that she submitted an application to be considered for the appointment of the vacant seat for District 1 Councilmember. Ms. Franks expressed the issues and concerns of the residents regarding the recent appointment to fill the vacant City Council seat. Ms. Franks indicated that constituents share their concerns week after week regarding the Olson project, the mismanagement of funds provided to nonprofits and other issues and noted that nothing is ever done to address the concerns of the community or properly assist the residents. Ms. Franks expressed her disappointment and distrust regarding the manner in which Ms. Deidre Duhart was appointed as District 1 Councilmember.
Fidel Marquez stated that he is completely untrustful of the Dias as a result of the operations of the City Council and the recent appointment of the District 1 City Councilmember. Mr. Marquez stated that the Council was elected by the people to properly act on behalf of the citizens, however, the trust has been broken. Mr. Marquez stated that Mary Edwards had the same vote count as Deidra Duhart.
Gilda Blueford raised concerns regarding agenda item Number 14 (amending the budget of the Water Department and appropriating $7.9 Million) and the American Rescue Fund Plan. Ms.
Blueford questioned the rationale for appropriating such a huge amount into the Water Department, which is a revenue generating Department. Ms. Blueford requested that the City Council explain to the community why this action is necessary, especially when these critical funds could be better utilized in a better capacity to assist the residents and improve the City of Compton.
City Attorney Perrodin informed the community that the roll call vote for Ms. Deidra Duhart occurred prior to the vote for Mary Edwards.

7. MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT - Shut-off Presentation
Municipal Water Department Manager Don Nguyen presented that on March 4, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and subsequently issued Executive Order N-42-20 (Water Shut-off Moratorium), which prohibited water systems from disconnecting water service, indefinitely. On March 17, 2020, City Council adopted Resolution No. 25,226, which in part reaffirmed the water shut-off moratorium, as it related to the City of Compton’s water service disconnections.
On June 2, 2020, City Council rescinded Resolution No. 25,226 and adopted Resolution No. 25,278, which also reinforced the suspension in water service disconnections. Furthermore, given the complex nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Gavin Newsom also extended the water shut-off moratorium through Executive Order N-08-21, which kept the suspension in place until it ultimately expired on December 31, 2021. The City’s resolution was aligned with the Governor’s Executive Order; therefore, at this time the City’s resolution can be rescinded at Council’s discretion.
The Department received grant funds from the California Water and Wastewater Arrearage Payment Program (CWWAP) in November of 2021 to assist our customers with their delinquent water bills, which were credited to the eligible customer accounts on December 22, 2021. After issuing credits in alignment with the stated guidelines of the CWWAP Program, the Department was left with a substantial number of customer accounts, with ever-increasing outstanding balances.
As of March 16, 2022, approximately 3,300 customer accounts are in delinquent status (past due), and their accumulated past due balance is $2,207,398.55. Given the stipulations contained within Senate Bill 998 (Water Service Discontinuation), approximately 1,771 customer accounts are eligible for shut-off (delinquent status over 60 days), and as of March 16, 2022, their accumulated account balance is $1,701,854.47.
Mr. Nguyen stated that in order to continue effective operations, Staff has determined a need to rescind Section 11 of Resolution No. 25,278, which will allow the Department to resume water service disconnections. However, prior to resuming any water service disconnections, staff will be providing the affected customers with an opportunity to enroll into a long-term payment arrangement in order to spread their outstanding balances out over time to make their payments more manageable. However, by rescinding the resolution it will provide the Department with the flexibility to act, if the customer does not keep their arrangement.
Mr. Nguyen continued to state that the water shut-off moratorium has had a detrimental impact to the department’s operating budget, which hinders our ability to operate the department effectively.
The Department expects an increase of revenue in the operating budget of FY 2022/2023, if this resolution is adopted.

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ISSUE A PURCHASE ORDER TO THE
COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES TO REPAY UNSPENT MONEY FROM THE CENSUS 2020 EDUCATION AND OUTREACH ACTIVITIES GRANT ($53,549.16) It was moved by Galvan, seconded by Duhart, that the resolution be adopted.
Dr. Aubrey Relf, Grants Manager, explained that the City received $129,000 to conduct an outreach to increase participation in the census project. The City used the majority of the funding, $75,515, was spent on marketing materials which were eligible uses of the funding by utilizing local radio station advertisements, door hangers, yard signs throughout the City, along with inserts inside the water bills and community flyers encouraging the residents to fill out and return the Census questionnaire.
Councilman Bowers questioned why the City did not have a contingency plan when Covid-19 began to affect the Census project.
Dr. Relf replied that as with many other cities, Compton was unable to host ‘in person’ events in locations such as churches and other venues due to the coronavirus; however, some of the funding was utilized for special ‘pop up’ events to provide Census information to the residents. In addition, the City hosted several district specific events and worked with various vendors to provide food giveaway and utilizing staffing to provide an opportunity for the residents to submit census information as they visited various store locations and other establishments.
Councilman Galvan requested a detailed list of all the vendors that performed outreach services relative to the Census. Dr. Relf replied that he would provide a list of the vendors to the Council.

Ms. Boone referenced the April 5, 2022 City Council meeting minutes and stated that all of the nominations to fill the District 1 City Council seat failed for lack of a second or a majority vote.

CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
5. POWER POINT PRESENTATION - CLEAN POWER ALLIANCE
Ted Bardacke, CEO of Clean Power Alliance, presented that Clean Power Alliance is a publicly owned electricity provider serving customers clean energy at competitive rates.
Clean Power Alliance (CPA) purchases clean power and Southern California Edison delivers it.
SCE sends a single monthly bill, which includes SCE charges for electricity delivery and CPA charges for electricity supply/generation. CPA charges are NOT an added fee; they simply replace the SCE supply/generation charges on the bill.
Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs) -- CCAs serve a growing share of electricity customers across California.
• Enabled by state legislation in 2002.
• Serve ~ 1/3 of electricity load in CA; most are Joint Powers Authorities provide consumer choice, competition, innovation, local control and investment, and tools for climate action and resilience.
• When a city joins a CCA, all customers in that city are automatically defaulted into the CCA service unless they affirmatively opt-out.
• Most customers stay with the CCA – in CPA’s case there is a 95% participation rate.
CCAs have driven the vast majority of clean energy development in CA over the past 5 years because CCAs are regulated by Boards made up of local elected officials and not the California Public Utilities Commission, they more closely reflect the goals and values of the local communities they serve.
Clean Power Alliance is a JPA made up of 30 Cities and the Counties of Los Angeles and Ventura
• CPA serves approximately 1 million customer accounts representing 3 million residents and businesses.
• Largest CCA in CA; more customers on 100% renewable energy rates than any utility in the nation.
• Each member has a seat on Board of Directors – One member, one vote experienced staff from private and public sectors.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Impact:
CPA’s Lean Power offers similar GHG emissions to SCE and CPA’s Clean Power has an emissions profile 5%-10% lower than SCE.
CPA’s 100% Green Power zeros out a customer’s and potentially an entire community’s electricity based GHG emissions through the provision of 100% renewable energy, mostly generated here in Southern California.
Electricity use is the second largest source of GHG emissions after transportation as transportation increasingly electrifies, the emissions reduction impact of the 100% Green Power rate is compounded.
Mr. Bardacke explained the price differentials of Lean, Clean and 100% Green Power have narrowed to less than 5%. Also, CPA brings multiple opportunities and benefits with reliable clean energy at competitive rates, community and customer choice, accelerated and cost-effective emission reductions, local control and values alignment Investment in local needs and most importantly, green jobs and green economy.

BETWEEN SOUTH ACACIA AVENUE AND FORMERLY SOUTH
OLEANDER AVENUE AND LOCATED ADJACENT TO 601 SOUTH

SUMMARY
The City Council will consider a resolution approving and ordering the vacation of a portion of W. Cocoa Street located between S. Acacia Avenue and formerly S. Oleander Avenue south of the Compton High School campus located at 601 S. Acacia Avenue, Compton.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
On April 19, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 25,647, which declared its intention to vacate a portion of excess public right-of-way and scheduled a public hearing for May 17, 2022.
The Compton Unified School District (CUSD), the applicant, is requesting approval of Street Vacation No. 20-002, to facilitate the Compton High School reconstruction and expansion project. The street vacation will consist of a 60-foot by approximately 600- foot section of West Cocoa Street located between S. Acacia Avenue and formerly S.
Oleander Avenue. The total area of the vacation will be approximately 36,000 square feet. The proposed street vacation (abandonment) will facilitate the Compton High School campus expansion to W. Alondra Boulevard.
Pursuant to Section 65402 of the Government Code of the State of California requires the Planning Commission to review all vacations for conformity with the general plan.
On February 9, 2022, the City of Compton Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 4034, which declared that the proposed street vacation as legally described on Exhibit “A”, is in conformance with the goals and policies of the City of Compton’s adopted 1991 General Plan.
6. Staff Report – Resolution Approving and Ordering Street Vacation Street Vacation No. 20-002
May 17, 2022
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
Provisions of Chapter 3, Part 3 of the California Streets and Highways Code grants the City Council authority to vacate any “street” or part of any “street that it finds is unnecessary for present or prospective public use”. There are two phases involved in the “street” vacation proceedings. The first phase is adoption by Council of a resolution of intention to vacate, which describes the right-of-way to be vacated and sets a public hearing date before the Council on the street vacation. The second phase is the public hearing, whereby Council hears evidence and makes a determination as to whether or not the “street” is necessary for present or prospective public use; if found to be unnecessary, a resolution of vacation may be adopted.
The proposed vacation was reviewed by the City of Compton Public Works Engineering and Street Maintenance Department’s and has determined that the area to be vacated is not necessary for current or future public use and that the vacation serves the public interest and is a public benefit as it eliminates any maintenance costs and liabilities imposed on the City associated with the right-of-way.
Public utilities and service providers were notified of the proposed street vacation. It was determined that there are existing utilities located within the proposed public right-ofway vacation. The public utility and service providers have no objections to the vacation so long easements for the public utilities are reserved from the vacation pursuant to the Streets and Highway Code, Part 3. Public Streets, Highways and Service Easement Vacation Law, Chapter 5 Reservation and Preservation of Easements, Article 1 Reservation of Easements, Section 8340; and
Additionally, in accordance with the provisions of the Streets and Highways Code, notice of the time and place of the public hearing was published in the Compton Bulletin on May 4, 2022 and May 11, 2022 and posted along West Cocoa Street. The owner of the properties adjacent to the proposed public right-of-way vacation, CUSD, was also notified by mail.
ALTERNATIVES
City Council may approve or reject the resolution approving and ordering the proposed right-of-way vacation.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of the request will have no significant impact on municipal expenditures. The City will relinquish its future maintenance responsibility of the public right-of-way, if the Staff Report – Resolution Approving and Ordering Street Vacation Street Vacation No. 20-002
May 17, 2022
street vacation is granted. Any specific cost savings related Cocoa Street cannot be determined at this time by the Public Works Department due to insufficient maintenance cost history. The City has not performed any maintenance on Cocoa Street in the recent past other than street sweeping.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution ordering the vacation the right-of-way as described and shown on Exhibits “A” and “B”.

BACKGROUND
On June 22, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 25,512, which adopted the City of Compton’s Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Budget. The Municipal Water Department (“Department”) is responsible for regulating the public water systems, water services programs and billing. The Department constructs, inspects, maintains and repairs water mains, gate valves, fire hydrants and water services to provide adequate potable water to the residents and businesses of Compton.
The Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget authorizes a Cross Connection Investigator position and two (2) Administrative Specialist positions.

7. Staff Report – Resolution to rescind Resolution No. 25,613 and amend budget to add Senior Pump Operator and Admin. Analyst II positions FY 2021-22 budget May 17, 2022, Page 2
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Staff has reviewed the current positions within the Department and has identified an operational need to amend the Department’s Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget by adding one (1) Senior Pump Operator positon and one (1) Administrative Analyst II position.

The Administrative Analyst II position will provide administrative support for the Water and Waste Divisions and will assist in the areas of budget, research, statistical analysis, and other analytical work as necessary. The addition of this position will also assist in expanding the reporting and record keeping capabilities within the divisions to become more operationally efficient.
On December 15, 2021, the City and Representatives of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) 721 met and agreed to the revisions of the Senior Pump Operator position. Resolution No. 25,613 needs to be rescinded and the attached resolution adopted, which includes the agreed upon changes to the position of Senior Pump Operator and adjusting the salary range from 121 to 143.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Water Department has a balanced budget, the recommendations are cost neutral and do not have a negative impact on the balanced budget for FY 2021-2022.

PURCHASE ORDERS AND SIGN SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS TO
EVTS, INC. AND CHARGEPOINT, INC. FOR ELECTRIC PARKING

SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will amend the 2021-2022 Fiscal Year budget of the Public Works – Street Maintenance Department to transfer funds to increase expenditures in the amount of Six Hundred Nineteen Thousand Three Hundred Thirty Three Dollars ($651,950.00) and authorize the City Manager to issue purchase orders to evTS, Inc. to purchase ten (10) electric parking vehicles not to exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) and ChargePoint, Inc. for ten (10) charging stations and infrastructure improvements required to power the charging stations in the amount not to exceed One Hundred Fifty One Thousand Nine Hundred Fifty Dollars ($151,950.00).
BACKGROUND
Gas-powered vehicles (cars, trucks and buses) have been identified as some of the most significant sources of air pollution in the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB). Vehicle emissions from exhaust contribute to unhealthful levels of ozone and toxic air contaminants. To protect public health, Assembly Bill 2766 was signed into law in September 1990. As part of the AB 2766, the California Clean Air Act was created to fund programs aimed at reducing air pollution from motor vehicles. To fund the programs, Section 44223 of the Health & Safety (H&S) Code authorized a $2 motor vehicle registration fee surcharge, effective April 1991. H&S Code Section 44225 authorized a subsequent increase in this fee to $4, effective April 1992. In 2004, an additional $2 surcharge was added pursuant to H&S Code 44229 to provide a long-term source of funding for expansion of the Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program and to incentivize early introduction of clean air technology such as cleaner diesel engines; a Lower-Emission School Bus Program; and, accelerated vehicle repair and retirement programs.

May 17, 2022, Page 2 of 4
AB 2766 requires that the first $4 of these fees be dedicated to the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) for the purpose of funding three programs with a prescribed allocation as follows:
40% to the Local Government Subvention Fund Program. These funds are distributed on a quarterly basis to South Coast Air Basin cities and counties based upon their prorated share of population to implement projects that reduce emissions from mobile sources.
30% to the South Coast AQMD Program Fund. This fund provides for agency planning, monitoring, research and other activities that reduce mobile source emissions.
30% to the Discretionary Fund Program. This fund is administered by the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC), which awards money to project proponents that also reduce motor vehicle emissions.
AB 2766 funded projects have many additional benefits including increasing transportation alternatives, relieving traffic congestion, conserving energy resources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
In March of 2017, the South Coast AQMD adopted the 2016 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) as the blueprint for attainment of federal ozone and Particulate Matter (PM)
2.5 standards in the South Coast Air Basin by 2031. The 2016 AQMP brought renewed focus to the role that mobile source emissions play in attainment of these standards.
Future mobile source control measures are identified in the AQMP as well as planning opportunities available for SCAB agencies to align transportation policy, infrastructure modernization, and emission control goals. The South Coast AQMD’s AB 2766 staff actively works with local governments to align their planning efforts with policy objectives of the AB 2766 Subvention Fund Program and the AQMP blueprint designed to meet State and Federal Clean Air Act attainment standards
City staff, under the direction of management, was tasked with investigating ways in which the City could reduce its carbon footprint by incorporating alternative fuel (electric, hybrid, natural gas, etc.) vehicles into the new fleet. Integrating these vehicles will reduce vehicle emissions that gas-powered vehicles have been identified as having an impact on environmental pollution. The SCAQMD has collected Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) on behalf of the City to be used for such programs as acquiring alternative fuel vehicles.
To that directive, staff has identified replacing the Parking Enforcement Division’s, of the Community Improvement Department, gas-powered vehicles with electric-powered vehicles as its pilot program. The Parking Enforcement Division currently has ten (10) Dodge Chargers allocated to staff that they utilize to carry out their duties.

May 17, 2022, Page 3 of 4
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The City will utilize the Metropolitan Area Planning Council agreement with ev Transportation Services, Inc. to purchase the ten (10) electric vehicles. The MAPC conducted a formal Request for Proposal under RFP No. GBPC 2020 Electric and Hydrogen Powered Public Service Vehicles, Light-Duty Trucks, Paratransit Vehicles, Passenger Shuttles, Public Works Construction Equipment and Related Factory Options and entered into the subsequent contract on behalf of the Greater Boston Police Council, Inc. and its members.
The City is able to utilize the agreement as it is a member in good standing with the Greater Boston Police Council, Inc. Staff estimates utilizing the majority of the Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) to acquire the vehicles and outfit them with appropriate equipment (light bar, spot light, lock box, City logo/Department decal, etc.).
The ten charging stations and installation will be handled by ChargePoint, Inc. Staff will be utilizing its membership in Sourcewell, formerly Nation Joint Powers Alliance, which allows us to utilize agreements of other member organizations. In addition to the purchase and installation of the charging stations, an additional electrical service will need to be added by Southern California Edison and is included in the proposal provided by ChargePoint, Inc. Staff received a proposal for One Hundred Thirty Eight Thousand One Hundred Thirty Six Dollars ($138,136.00) and is requesting an additional ten percent (10%) contingency of Thirteen Thousand Eight Hundred and Fourteen Dollars ($13,814.00) for a total project cost of One Hundred Fifty One Thousand Nine Hundred Fifty Dollars ($151,950.00).
Utilizing these agreements allows the City capitalize of pricing that would not be available if individuals solicitations were conducted for the vehicles and charging stations. The total cost of the project will not exceed Six Hundred Fifty One Thousand Nine Hundred Fifty Dollars ($651,950.00).
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Equipment Rental Fund Balance and the Fiscal Year 2021- 2022 budget will need to be amended as follows:
Increase Expenditure Account Description Amount
6000-720-000-4333 Equipment Rental – Automotive Equipment $651,950.00
The purchase orders will be allocated to the respective vendors as follows:

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: COMPTON MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON AMENDING THE MUNICPAL WATER DEPARTMENT’S FISCAL YEAR
2021-2022 BUDGET AND APPROPRIATING SEVEN MILLION NINE
HUNDRED EIGHTY-EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS ($7,988,00.00) OF
AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT FUNDS TO THE CAPITAL BUDGET
SUMMARY
The City Council will consider a resolution amending the Municipal Water Department’s Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget and appropriating Seven Million Nine Hundred EightyEight Thousand Dollars ($7,988,000.00) of American Rescue Plan Act Funds to the capital budget.
BACKGROUND
On March 11, 2021, the President of the United States signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021. The legislation provides $1.9 trillion in funding to address the economic impacts of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which included $350 billion in federal fiscal recovery aid to state and local governments.
The City of Compton expects to receive approximately $34 million in aid as a result of the ARPA. On June 10, 2021, the City received ARPA funds from the U.S. Department of the Treasury in the amount of $17 million dollars for the first half of the allocation.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury has adopted guidance regarding the use of ARPA funds. According to the guidance, recipients may use ARPA funds to invest in necessary improvements to their water infrastructure, including areas that address the impacts of climate change. Recipients may also use this funding to invest in an array of drinking water infrastructure projects, such as building, repairing or upgrading facilities and transmission, distributing and storage systems. Recipients retain flexibility to identify those water infrastructure investments that are of the highest priority for their own communities.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
As the City Council considers the appropriation of ARPA funds, the Municipal Water Department (“Department”) is requesting to allocate Seven Million Nine Hundred EightyEight Thousand Dollars ($7,988,000.00) to the Department’s Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Capital budget.
The Department will dedicate these funds to improving the water systems infrastructure that services approximately eighty percent (80%) of the land within city limits and maintains a total of eight (8) active wells for extracting groundwater, 156 miles of water distribution lines and two (2) reservoir locations (including booster stations) with four (4) 3 million gallon elevated storage tanks. The Municipal Water department has roughly 14,000 water service connections providing water to about 80,000 residences. The water systems infrastructure requires updated software, routine maintenance, repairs or rehabilitation to assure an adequate potable water supply, sufficient pressure for fire protection and optimal water quality.
The following is the Department’s ARPA expenditure recommendation:
Administration:
$925,000.00
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA). The SCADA system is a control center of information for water facilities including reservoirs, pump stations and well sites. SCADA also includes alarms for intrusions, malfunctions and unusual system operations.
Distribution:
$1,000,000.00
Replace 250 Fire Hydrants with Hydrant Guard to protect water loss and conservation, protect water quality issues and increase fire protection Fire Hydrant Cost - $2,000.00 each
Hydrant Guard - $1,800.00 - $2,000.00 each
Pump & Treatment:
$6,063,000.00
Pull each Well Pump and Motor to inspect its condition Camera down 800 feet of each well to inspect the well condition Estimated cost for inspections and rehab of each well - $200,000.00 (8 total) Total $1,600,000.00
Budget Amendment ARPA Funds – Municipal Water Department May 17, 2022

Replace each Well motor room building, each chlorine room building and tanks, upgrade each well site electrical panels and components up to code, upgrade all well piping and valves that are corroded
Estimated cost for each well site repairs - $400,000.00 (7 total) Total $2,800,000.00
Remove and replace asphalt at each well site to prevent contaminants and intrusion of rain runoff into the well
Estimated cost for removal and replacement of asphalt - $150,000 each (7 total) Total $1,050,000.00
Inspect and upgrade 4 (3 million gallon) water reservoirs to State Water Board Standards
Remove and replace asphalt to prevent microbiological contamination from entering the distribution system
Install mixers in each reservoir to improve water quality Total $650,000.00
Total amount: $7,988,000.00
The proposed use of ARPA funds is consistent with the Department of Treasury’s funding objectives.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of the proposed use of the federal fiscal recovery aid will be paid directly from the ARPA funds the City received in June 2021. Staff is requesting that the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget be amended as follows:

Total $7,988,000.00
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council has the following alternatives to consider:
1. Adopt this resolution and appropriate stated funds of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to the Municipal Water Department’s Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget and invest in the city’s water infrastructure improvements that will increase its reliability, resiliency and efficiency to ensure an adequate potable water supply, efficient pressure for fire protection and optimal water quality; or
2. If City Council chooses not to adopt this resolution this will upsurge the potential impacts of an aging water system infrastructure including, an increased cost to the city for purchasing imported water from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD), increased water quality issues (e.g. brown water, low water pressure), loss of service and service interruptions, the city’s inability to properly fight large scale fires, possible fines and revocation of required permits as a result of continual water quality issues; or
3. Provide alternate direction.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution amending the Municipal Water Department’s Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget and appropriate Seven Million Nine Hundred Eighty-Eight Thousand Dollars ($7,988,000.00) of ARPA funds to improve the City’s water systems infrastructure.

39 Total Revenue $197,554,181.00 $233,808,432.00
The changes to properly reflect correct fund balances are as follows:
On Page 39 of the Budget Book, total expenses are listed $197,830,633. This was incorrect because the line above it, on the same page, the total department expenses did not represent the accurate totals. For the Department of Community Development the total should have displayed as $18,710,295. For the Department of Housing Successor the total that should $185,500. For the Department of Public Works-Engineering, the amount that should have been displayed was $43,648,085. On Pages 101 and 163 are the amounts that are shown as the total for each department respectively.
On Page 39, the department total for Successor Agency mistakenly only showed expenses as $12,947,626. Further on Page 1 of the Successor Agency Section, total “Financing Requirements” should have displayed a total of $14,365,445 for Fund 1201. This is made up of “Transfers-Out” to the Successor Agency Debt Service Funds with a total amount of $13,857,226, as well as personnel costs of $86,219 and operations & maintenance costs of $422,000. The Financing Requirements Section should also have displayed the amount of $13,857,226 as Principal & Interest Debt Service costs that will be paid out of the Successor Agency Debt Service Fund, only after having a “Transfer-In” of $13,857,226 from Successor Agency Fund 1201 as described earlier in the paragraph. On the same page of the Successor Agency Section for the table “Resources/Revenue Amounts” the adopted amount of SARAFF revenue should have been stated as $14,444,428. Also in the “Resources/Revenue Amounts” should have been reported that Interest Revenue Income was anticipated to be as follows: $592,431 Staff Report – Resolution Approving Corrections

for Fund 1201; $79,486 for Fund 3002; $20,723 for Fund 3070; $49,779 for Fund 3080; $19,306 for Fund 3090. Further within the same table, the revenue source name of “Transfer-In” should have been combined with the following resource descriptions: Tax Allocation Bond Successor Agency should have been stated as “Transfer-In Tax Allocation Bond Successor Agency;” Successor Agency Bond 2010A should have been stated as “Transfer-In Successor Agency Bond 2010A;” Successor Agency Bond 2010B should have been stated as “Transfer-In Successor Agency Bond 2010B;” Successor Agency Bond 2010C should have been stated as “Transfer-In Successor Agency Bond 2010C.” The total amount for the entire group of Successor Agency related funds was supposed to be shown for Financing Requirements was the sum of
$13,857,226 and $14,365,445, or $28,222,671. The total amount for the entire group of Successor Agency Funds was supposed to be shown for Resource/Revenue amount was supposed to be the sum of $14,444,428, $761,725 (Interest Revenue total across all Successor Agency funds), $13,857,226 (Transfers-In), $30,592 (Contributions from Retirement Fund). This yields a total of $29,093,971. This analysis shows that the anticipated revenues for the Successor Agency related group of funds is greater than the anticipated expenses for the same group of funds. The total expenditures of $28,222,671 should have been listed as the “Departmental Total” for Successor Agency expenses on Page 39.
Total expenses (including “Transfers-Out”) should have been $223,104,327 on Page 39 of the Budget Book.
On Page 39, the total of revenues that were stated were $167,105,939. However, unfortunately the budget book did not properly pull all of the revenues into the correct totals from all the other sections of the budget. Additionally, as mentioned earlier, the total revenues for Successor Agency related group of funds was $29,093,971 (including Transfers-In). If the revenues had summed correctly, including the Transfers-In, and with the updated SARAFF anticipated revenue as mentioned earlier, then the total of revenues should have been stated as $193,314,938 on Page 39.
On Page 22, in the column “Actual Revenue Receipt at April 30, 2021” the amount of $40,493,594 should have been stated. This was the amount of Bond Proceeds that were obtained by the City in March of 2021 and that were available as part of the Beginning Fund Balance in Fund 3031 (Debt Service related to MTA Bonds).

The total of anticipated revenues and Transfers-In ($193,314,938) plus the amount of bond proceeds available in Fund Balance at beginning of Fiscal Year 2021-2022 ($40,493,494) yields a total of $233,808,432 that is available to cover the anticipated total expenditures of $223,104,327, yielding a balanced budget, where anticipated expenditures do not exceed anticipated funding sources.
Staff will update the in the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Adopted Budget Book available in the City Clerk’s Office as well as the online version on the City’s website. 3) Sheriff’s Department
At the Council’s request, staff coordinated a Street Takeover Task Force to address the growing issue with street racing within the City’s limits. This task force was outside the scope of services covered under the current contract with Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, so additional funds are needed to cover the expense.

4) Hardy and Harper Road Repair Contract
During the Council Meeting held on May 4, 2021, the Council issued a contract to Hardy & Harper, Inc. for road repair services for Two Million Three Hundred Forty - Five Thousand and Two Hundred Dollars ($2,345,200) under Resolution No. 25,464.
Under that resolution, Six Hundred Forty-Three Thousand ($643,000) was allocated in Fiscal Year 2021 with the remaining balance of One Million Seven Hundred and Two Thousand Two Hundred Dollars ($1,702,200) to be allocated in Fiscal Year 2022.
Due to an oversight, the $1,702,200 was not allocated in the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Budget and requires an amendment to allocate the funds as follows:
