SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A THREE-YEAR
PROFESSIONAL AND INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT
WITH THE TITAN GROUP NOT TO EXCEED A TOTAL OF $300,000
PER YEAR AND TO APPROVE A PURCHASE ORDER NOT TO
EXCEED $35,715.85 FOR THE PURPOSE OF FULFILLING FY2024- 2025 OUTSTANDING INVOICES FOR THE HUMAN RESOURCES
DEPARTMENT
SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to instate a three-year professional and investigative services agreement with The Titan Group (“Titan”) in addition to approving a purchase order for the purpose of fulfilling final outstanding invoices at the end of the Fiscal Year (2024-2025) for the Human Resources Department.
BACKGROUND
Titan is a source for Personnel workplace investigations and pre-employment background checks for employees. The Human Resources Department at the City of Compton utilized these services on an “as-needed” basis during Fiscal Year 2024-2025 to conduct workplace investigations and to pre-screen Compton Fire Department employees before beginning employment. These services are continuously utilized on a monthly basis within the Department and there is an ultimate intent to continue contracting with Titan due to their prompt and impartial nature with these specific services.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Titan was utilized during the Fiscal Year (2024-2025) and services will continue to be utilized the next three Fiscal Years (2025-2027). Workplace investigations and Fire background checks are continuous albeit on an “as-needed” basis and the Human Resources Department utilize these services frequently. Titan conducts fair, neutral, and impartial investigations and background checks for the Compton Fire Department.
Ultimately, the Human Resources Department, after review, have an intent to continue such professional and investigative services for an additional three years with amounts not to exceed $300,000 per year to maintain these investigative and background check services.
10.10.10.10.10. Staff Report – Resolution to Enter a Three-Year Agreement with Titan and to Approve a Purchase Order for the Human Resources Department
June 24, 2025
Due to the mass of investigative services and other standing contracts, funds were underestimated and exceeded for the General Fund of the Human Resources Department. Law firms and legal services were prioritized in terms of invoicing and payments – Titan included.
Furthermore, pursuant to Resolution No. 26,100 (July 23, 2024), the City Manager’s authority has surpassed the single spending limit in addition to the emergency spending threshold for Titan during Fiscal Year 2024-2025; the City Council’s approval is required for this item.
After data confirmation with the City Controller’s Office and the City Manager’s Office regarding the budget of the Human Resources Department, there are now funds to fulfill these remaining invoices before the Fiscal Year (2024-2025) ends.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be a moderate fiscal impact as a result from entering into a three-year agreement. It is estimated that amounts will not exceed $300,000 per year. This amount is a result from the continuous nature of investigative and background check services.
Funds for the next Fiscal Year (2025-2026) for these services are anticipated to be approved for Account 1001-560-000-4266 (Human Resources – Contract Services).
The total dollar amount of all outstanding invoices is readily available in the current Fiscal Year (2024-2025) budget. There is no anticipated fiscal impact, as the funds have not been completely utilized. Funds for these outstanding invoices will come out of 1001-560- 000-4266 (Human Resources – Contract Services) for the purpose of paying all outstanding investigative services.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve and adopt the attached Resolution to continue services with Titan for an additional three years and to pay all outstanding Fiscal Year 2024-2025 invoices for the Human Resources Department.

Consultant services hereunder shall be performed in good, workmanlike and professional manner. Consultant shall be responsible for correcting and completing all errors and omissions related to the services provided by the Consultant for this Agreement at no additional cost to the City. “Errors” and “Omissions” for purposes of this paragraph are defined to mean a failure by the Consultant to meet the standards of its profession as set forth in the preceding paragraph. The acceptance of the services by City does not release Consultant from these obligations.
Edward Saucerman, the President of Consultant shall be primarily responsible for performance of this Agreement.
Willie A. Hopkins, City Manager, or his/her authorized designee, is hereby designated as the City’s Representative for this Project/Agreement.
2. Duration of Contract.The term of this Agreement shall be effective as of July 1, 2025 and shall remain in effect until June 30, 2027, unless earlier terminated or extended as provided herein.

It is understood and agreed between the Parties that the total compensation payable for all services performed by the Consultant during each fiscal year of this Agreement shall not exceed Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00).
The total price paid the Consultant will include compensation for all work, including travel, materials, supplies, vendor services, expenses and subcontracted work.

If Consultant subcontracts any of the services, Consultant will be fully responsible to City for the acts, errors and omissions of Consultant's sub-consultant and of the persons either directly or indirectly employed by the sub-consultant, as Consultant is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by Consultant. Nothing contained in this Agreement will create any contractual relationship between any sub- consultant of Consultant and City. Consultant will be responsible for payment of sub- consultants. Consultant will bind every sub-consultant by the terms of this Agreement applicable to Consultant's work unless specifically noted to the contrary in the subcontract and approved in writing by City.
9. Other Consultants.The City reserves the right to employ other consultants in connection with the services.

This indemnification and hold harmless obligation does not extend to claims arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of the City.
11. Insurance.Without limiting the Consultant’s indemnification of the City, Consultant shall obtain and maintain, at its cost and expense, for the duration of the Agreement and any and all amendments hereto, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise out of or in connection with performance of the services by Consultant or Consultant’s agents, representatives, employees or sub- consultants. The insurance will be obtained from an insurance carrier admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California. Such evidence shall specifically identify this Agreement and shall contain express conditions that the City is to be given written notice at least thirty (30) days in advance of any termination or implementation of a reduction of limits or material change of insurance coverage as specified herein.

constitute a material breach upon which the City may immediately terminate this Agreement. All insurance required hereunder shall be primary with respect to any insurance maintained by the City.
Coverages and Limits. Consultant will maintain the types of coverages and minimum limits indicated below, unless the Risk Manager or City Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney approves a lower amount. These minimum amounts of coverage will not constitute any limitations or cap on Consultant's indemnification obligations under this Agreement. City, its officers, agents, volunteers and employees make no representation that the limits of the insurance specified to be carried by Consultant pursuant to this Agreement are adequate to protect Consultant. The coverage will contain no special limitations on the scope of its protection to the below-indicated insureds except for Workers Compensation and errors and omissions insurance. Consultant will obtain occurrence coverage, excluding Professional Liability, which will be written as claims- made coverage. If Consultant believes that any required insurance coverage is inadequate, Consultant will obtain such additional insurance coverage, as Consultant deems adequate, at Consultant's sole expense.
11.1 Commercial General Liability Insurance. $1,000,000 combined single-limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. If the submitted policies contain aggregate limits, general aggregate limits will apply separately to the work under this Agreement or the general aggregate will be twice the required per occurrence limit.

Workers' Compensation limits as required by the California Labor Code and Employer's Liability limits of $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury.

For Commercial General Liability Insurance, Consultant will ensure that the policies are endorsed to name the City of Compton and its respective elected and appointed officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers as “additional insureds” with respect to liability arising out of the activities of the Consultant. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to the City. Prior to City's execution of this Agreement, Consultant will furnish certificates of insurance and endorsements to City.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON AMENDING THE 2024-2025 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET AND
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN
AGREEMENT AND ESTABLISH A PURCHASE ORDER TO ANGELES
CONTRACTOR, INC. FOR THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS REMODELING
PROJECT ($983,337.98).
SUMMARY
Adoption of the attached resolution will authorize the City Manager to amend the 2024- 2025 Fiscal Year Budget, accept the proposal, enter into an agreement, and establish a purchase order to Angeles Contractor, Inc. in the amount of Eight Hundred Fifty-Five Thousand, Seventy-Six Dollars and Fifty Cents ($855,076.50) for the remodeling project for the City Council Chambers and authorize a 15% contingency in the amount of One Hundred Twenty Eight Thousand, Two Hundred Sixty One Dollars and Forty- Eight Cents ($128,261.48) for a total amount not to exceed Nine Hundred Eighty Three Thousand, Three Hundred Thirty Seven Dollars and Ninety Eight Cents ($983,327.98).
BACKGROUND
The City Council Chambers, initially designed by architect Harold L. Williams (Williams) in 1976, was the most modern and much-admired City Hall in the area. The building reflected the skillful hand of Williams, a prolific local African American architect. Williams designed a two-story, flat-roofed building mainly clad in floor-to-ceiling glass. In 2006, the City Council Chambers portion of the building was remodeled to bring a fresh, modernized appeal with upgraded audio.

The remodel is aimed at addressing these issues, providing ADA compliance and critical upgrades to enhance functionality, safety, and accessibility for the public and staff.

SUMMARY
Adoption of the attached resolution will authorize the City Manager to amend the Fiscal Year 2024–2025 budget to transfer funds between accounts and enter into a three-year agreement with Commline, Inc., establish a purchase order in the amount of One Hundred Seventy Thousand Seven Hundred Thirty Dollars and Fifty Cents ($170,730.50) for the procurement, programming, and servicing of sixty-five (65) LA- RICS-enabled portable UHF radios and authorize the establishment of a second purchase order in the amount of Forty-Six Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars ($46,800) payable to the County of Los Angeles Treasurer and Tax Collector for the $20.00 monthly service fee per radio over a 36-month period, which includes network access, system maintenance, and support for the Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications System (LA-RICS) infrastructure.
BACKGROUND
On June 18, 2024, the City Council approved the purchase of (fifty) 50 two-way radios for the Community Improvement Services Department. Those radios operated on a cellular network and have recently begun to experience frequent connection issues which are beyond the City’s control. The system operates on the same broadband system used by millions and while competing for space on bandwidths, the system slows down and sometimes crashes during times of disasters or emergencies.
The County-wide LA-RICS system has recently finalized its new user agreement and pricing. The LA-RICS is a unified web of communication that eliminates barriers to multi- jurisdictional responses and allows police, firefighters, paramedics, and public safety staff to communicate directly with users outside of their agency.
12.12.12.12. Staff Report- Commline, Inc- Radio Purchase and Integration with Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications Systems (LARICS)
page 2
The new user agreement eliminates prior barriers that prevented the City from pursuing its usage in the past. This system is far superior to the current two-way radio system being used and will improve officer safety and enhance the City overall public safety efforts.
The two-way radio system will be transferred to other City departments (Parks and Recreation, Public Works, etc.) that may use them for communication purposes.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Community Improvement Services Department is seeking to procure sixty-five (65) portable UHF radios enabled with the Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications System (LA-RICS), a secure and encrypted network designed for regional public safety communication. This system integrates with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s encrypted network, enhancing interoperability and communication during emergencies across multiple jurisdictions. LA-RICS is a secure, encrypted regional public safety communications network established through a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) among the County of Los Angeles, cities, municipalities, and other public safety agencies. This system allows first responders from different jurisdictions to communicate effectively during emergencies.
The new LA-RICS radios include a separate subscription service that integrates with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s encrypted network, providing secure, reliable communication and eliminating the connection problems experienced with the prior cellular-based radios.
The City will utilize the NASPO ValuePoint cooperative purchasing program, administered by the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO), to procure the radios through Commline, Inc., a NASPO-approved contractor. The contract includes the procurement, programming, and service of the radios for a cost of One Hundred Seventy-Thousand Seven Hundred Thirty Dollars and Fifty Cents $170,730.50, with a monthly service fee of $20 per radio covering network access, system maintenance, and LA-RICS infrastructure use, totaling Forty-Six Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars $46,800 over 36 months ($15,600 per year).
This multi-year agreement will significantly improve the Community Improvement Services Department’s field communication, enhance interoperability with regional public safety agencies, and provide a secure, dependable communications platform.
Upon approval from the City Council the City Manager is authorized to prepare a budget amendment and transfer funds between accounts for an amount not to exceed One Hundred Seventy-Thousand Seven Hundred Thirty Dollars and Fifty Cents ($170,730.50) A second purchase order in the amount of Forty-Six Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars ($46,800) will be issued to the County of Los Angeles Treasurer and Tax Collector.

BACKGROUND
The 1% SB2-PLHA (Permanent Local Housing Allocation) refers to an administrative fee charged by the Gateway Cities Council of Governments (GCCOG) for supporting member cities in managing and implementing housing-related programs funded through Senate Bill 2 (SB2). SB2 established a permanent funding source to increase affordable housing stock and reduce homelessness across California. GCCOG assists with compliance, reporting, and coordination tasks related to these PLHA funds.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The Gateway Cities Council of Governments (GCCOG) has submitted its annual invoice to the City of Compton for administrative services related to the 1% SB2-PLHA (Permanent Local Housing Allocation) program. As the cumulative expenditures with GCCOG for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 have reached the City Manager’s authorization limit of $75,000, City Council approval is required to process the $6,599 payment for continued participation and support in administering housing-related grant programs. The vendor is a sole source; therefore, three (3) quotes were not needed.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 26,100, adopted by the City Council on July 23, 2024, the City Manager is authorized to expend up to $75,000.00 to any one single vendor in a fiscal year; however, the City has reached the threshold for Gateway Cities Council of Governments for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. Therefore, City Council’s approval is required for this item.

Resolutions #25,879, #25,983, and #26,093 authorized the City Manager to execute the initial agreement and extend the use of services from a Temp Agency for temporary staffing to assist in achieving compliance with the State Auditor, State Controller, and External Auditor’s recommendations for continuous staffing of qualified personnel. The City Controller requested the use of a Temp Agency, as it would be beneficial for the City to use temporary staff in the interim until the hiring process has been completed and to assist with catch-up work. The City Controller’s Department has been using the combined services of Robert Half International Inc. and Tandym for temporary staffing on an 3 month incremental basis.
[Please see Attachment A for Recommendations noted in the State of California State Audit report to the City in October of 2022 (page 4 and 6)]
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
With the continued deficiency in permanent staffing in the Accountant l and Accounting ll positions, and the need for assistance with catch-up work, the Controller’s Office staff

2 took steps to initiate the meet and confer process so clarity from the Union would be provided before returning to Council to extend the services of the temp agencies. The process included the arrangement of a meet and confer with the Human Resources Department and the Union Representation of the positions mentioned above. While waiting for the meet and confer to be arranged, the temp staff was still working in the Controller’s Office, as well as the Water Department, assisting with catch-up work, reporting, and day-to-day operations. The duties of the temp staff included assisting the Water Department in developing Revenue Reports for the FY2023-2024 audit. These reports were 2 years behind due to lack of staffing and their completion was critical to the timeliness of the FY2023-2024 audit completion.
Staff believes the alternative of not allowing the temp staff to continue with their services while the meet and confer was being arranged would not have been in the best interest of the City. The FY2023-2024 audit preparation could have been delayed 6 months to a year. The delay would have affected the City’s ability to meet the State Auditor’s requirements for catching up on all audits.
After a significant period of time, the meet and confer was arranged, and yielded a negative approval response. Upon the negative approval, the Controller’s Office and Water Department ceased all services from the temp staff.
As previously stated, while waiting for the meet and confer to be arranged, the temp staff was still working with the Controller’s Office and the Water Department. Robert Half International Inc. has invoiced the City for that period of time.

Attachment A
Recommendations noted in the State of California State Audit report to the City in October of 2022 (page 4 and 6)
“By July 2023, direct the City Manager to make efforts to fully staff the human resources department and the City Controller’s office with qualified individuals to ensure that these departments can address Compton’s broader, chronic issues related to staffing and finances. The level of staffing in the departments should be sufficient for the successful performance of key tasks, including those listed in our recommendations”
“By July 2024, the City Council should ensure that the City has issued its audited financial statements for fiscal years 2020-21, 2021-22, and 2022-23. The Council should adopt a requirement that, for subsequent years, the City must issue complete audited financial statements by six months after the end of the fiscal year. To ensure that it has the ability to meet this requirement, the City should consider measure such as increasing staff in the City Controller’s office and training them on their responsibilities for preparing the financial statements.” “By December 2024, Compton should resolve all of the audit findings it has received that predate its fiscal year 2020-21 audited financial statements and any findings from subsequent audit reports, including findings related to improving financial controls.” The City has received 9 findings from the State Controller’s office and from Eadie and Payne LLP external audit firm during FY2018- FY2020 as follows:
2014-074B- Commitment to Competence (SD)
Recommendation: We recommend that the City implement a remedial action plan to adequately staff the departments. Most importantly, the City Controller’s Office should be staffed with qualified and experienced individuals who can contribute immediately to the performance of its accounting functions. In addition, we recommend that the City implement policies to address the importance of experience and proper training of back-up staff when regular staff members are not available. Inexperienced staff may cause material impact in the City’s operations in terms of incurring additional costs, delaying the processing of financial transactions, and failing to keep City Management and the City Council updated with accurate information. 2014-062A- Turnover and Lack of Consistent Leadership (MW) Recommendation: The SCO recommended that the City evaluate its hiring practices for its upper management positions. In addition, the SCO recommended that the City develop a succession plan that will help it to ensure continued leadership even during management turnover. 2014-064A- Lack of Adequate Staff Performing Critical Functions (MW) Recommendation: The SCO recommended that the City implement a remedial action plan to adequately staff the noted departments. Most importantly, the City Controller's Office should be staffed with qualified and experienced individuals who can contribute immediately to the performance of its accounting functions. In addition, the SCO recommended that the City implement policies to address the importance of experience and proper training of back-up staff when regular staff members are not available. Inexperienced staff may cause material impact in the City's operations in terms of incurring additional costs, delaying the processing of financial transactions, and failing to keep City Management and the City Council updated with accurate information.
2014-085B- Management Philosophy and Operating Style (SD) Recommendation: We recommend that the City implement a remedial action plan to adequately staff departments.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COMPTON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER
INTO AN AMENDED AND RESTATED JOINT EXERCISE OF
POWERS AGREEMENT FOR THE LOS ANGELES GATEWAY
REGION INTEGRATED REGIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT
AUTHORITY
SUMMARY
This Resolution authorizes the City Manager to enter into an Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Authority.
BACKGROUND
The Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority (“Gateway Water Management Authority” or “GWMA”) was established in 2007 by a Joint Powers Authority Agreement (“JPA”). The agency was formed to address the state’s efforts that encouraged and prioritized regional, multi-party, and/or multi-benefit projects for competitive funding. Because GWMA’s membership and responsibilities have grown and evolved since its inception, the JPA Agreement is now being amended to best reflect current and anticipated activities, roles, and responsibilities.
On April 10, 2025, GWMA’s Governing Board approved the attached Amended and Restated JPA Agreement by a super-majority vote. Each member is now requested to formally adopt the updated JPA Agreement, as presented.
The Gateway Water Management Authority was formed in 2007 to address water supply reliability, water quality, stormwater, and flood control in the Gateway Region of Los Angeles County. With a population of more than 2 million people, GWMA members have successfully worked together to develop regional projects, and seek and receive local, state and/or federal funds to support those projects.
GWMA members are made up of Gateway cities and water agencies that represent distinctive hydrogeological, topographic, demographic, political, and economic elements. Membership in the GWMA has proven to successfully communicate the Gateway region’s needs with a single voice increasing opportunities for project and funding partners.
17.17.17. Staff Report – Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Authority June 24, 2025, Page 2 of 3
Since its inception, GWMA’s membership has increased and GWMA’s role has evolved significantly. Currently, membership has grown to 28 cities and water agencies. With that growth, GWMA has been able to respond to the changing water conditions and challenges in Southern California. In addition to developing regional projects and seeking grant funds to support them, GWMA continues its critical role as part of the Greater Los Angeles County Integrated Regional Water Management ensuring that the Gateway region’s voice is always heard. Further, GWMA’s added role since 2012 has been to facilitate and administratively support watershed stormwater compliance programs under the MS4 Permit for the Lower Los Angeles River, Lower San Gabriel River, Los Cerritos Channel and several other regional groups of cities working together to comply with the MS4 Permit for monitoring/reporting harbor stormwater flows.
In 2024, GWMA staff and legal counsel provided several updates regarding the proposed modifications to the JPA Agreement. These changes include: board member terms and allowing for up to three alternates; updating the list of members cities/agencies; defining a super-majority vote for certain board actions; and no longer requiring a lead agency to be appointed to conduct the financial/contractual affairs of GWMA (which has been done in-house since 2014).
On January 14, 2025, Compton staff received the draft Amended and Restated JPA Agreement for review and comment. Legal Counsel was also requested to review the document. Comments were due to GWMA staff by March 14, 2025.
On April 10 th, GWMA staff presented the revised draft agreement to the GWMA Board, showing the incorporated members’ comments to the JPA Agreement.
After discussion, the GWMA Board approved the Amended and Restated JPA Agreement by a super-majority vote which is presented herein.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Therefore, in order to authorize the City Manager to enter into the Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Authority, City Council’s authorization is necessary.
ALTERNATIVE
The City desires to enter into an Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Authority. There are no other alternatives being recommended at this time.
Staff Report – Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Authority June 24, 2025, Page 3 of 3
FISCAL IMPACT
No change from prior fiscal years. Annual dues will continue to be assessed and approved by a super-majority vote of the GWMA Board in order to support the on-going work of the GWMA.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached Resolution.

The City Council will consider adopting a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an insurance binder with the City’s insurance broker, Alliant Insurance Services (“Alliant”), for renewal of the following policies of insurance for Fiscal Year 2025-2026: Dial-A-Ride Auto, Excess General Liability, Excess Workers’ Compensation, Crime, Directors and Officers/Employment Liability, Auto Physical Damage, Property, Pollution Liability, Excess Cyber Security, Difference In Conditions, Deadly Weapon Response and Sports General Liability.
Staff is recommending that the Council authorize the issuance of a purchase order to Alliant and/or First Insurance Funding Corporation (“First Insurance”) for the cost of the insurance premiums and finance charge. The insurance premiums for the coverage listed above is an estimated $4,500,000.00. The estimated financing of the costs of the premium for all lines of insurance indicated above is $85,000. As in the past, the financing agreement will require a down payment and then three additional payments. A separate agreement will be obtained for the financing of the excess liability coverage through PRISM.
BACKGROUND
The City of Compton is currently insured for the policies listed above through June 30, 2025. The Crime policy insures the City against crimes of theft or fraud that could be perpetrated by employees, while Directors and Officers/Employment Liability insurance protects management and elected officials against judgments and in the defense of lawsuits that may be filed against the City for claims such as discrimination.
The City maintains Excess General Liability insurance to offset payment of any liability claim filed against the City in excess of the City’s self-insured retention level

of $1,000,000.00. Property insurance is necessary to insure coverage to the City’s property against damages that may occur such as fire or business interruption, and Difference in Conditions insurance covers damage to the City’s property in the event of earthquake or flood. Excess Workers’ Compensation Insurance covers the City in the event a workers’ compensation claim exceeds the City’s self-insured retention level of $1,000,000.00, while Athletics Liability covers parks and recreation athletic events. However, over-night camping events, pyrotechnics (fireworks), and events that include animal rides and skateboarding events are excluded from the Athletics Liability policy due to the inherent risks. Additionally, entertainment events which include celebrities are also excluded and separate insurance quotes must be obtained for each event and paid for outside of the premiums identified herein.
The City’s Dial-A-Ride vehicles are insured through the Auto Physical Damage policy, although coverage for the Dial-A-Ride vehicles is limited to within 100 miles from the City Hall parking lot. Commercial Auto Physical Damage insurance covers losses to all scheduled vehicles in the City’s fleet.
The Deadly Weapon Response Program insures against incidents involving active shooters (such that we saw with San Bernardino County employees in 2015). The Excess Cyber option shores up our current cybersecurity coverage to guard against the increased expenses associated with damage to City infrastructure.
The pollution liability coverage is added onto the City’s existing property insurance coverage and protects the City against liability for sewage leaks and the release into the environment of dangerous materials.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
It is routine for municipalities to maintain the types of insurance coverage described above to protect all municipal interests. The City’s insurance policies will expire on June 30, 2025; thus, it is vital to renew these policies in order to continue the protections afforded thereby. Consolidating policies in this way tends to guarantee that major coverage, such as excess general liability, property, earthquake, flood and excess workers’ compensation, are managed without the worry or hazards of lapses in coverage periods.
The insurance industry constantly reviews individual as well as national client loss statistics and compares them against and with other factors to determine rates.
Negative factors affecting the City’s insurance portfolio over the last few years include, but are not limited to the increase in employment liability claims, legal liability claims, training issues, staff accountability issues, personnel turnover and significant storm damage claims. Positive factors affecting the City’s insurance portfolio include increased efficient claims reporting, effective risk analysis and coverage choices, positive claims experience in our policies such as Dial-A-Ride Auto, and Excess Workers’ Compensation.

The City maintains a $1,000,000 self-insured retention (SIR) whereas many municipalities have increased their SIR to $5,000,000. In addition, there has been an increase in the premium for cyber security coverage.
Business practices, including staff accountability issues, are the types of conditions that tend to increase claims loss experience and drive premium costs upward.
Increased accountability including oversight and training assists in lowering claims which could equate to lower premiums.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total estimated insurance premium for the policies of insurance specified above for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 (i.e. July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026), is $4,405,000.00 plus estimated $75,000 funding finance charges to First Insurance Funding and an addition $10,000.00 to another insurance financing company. In addition, Staff recommends an additional $10,000.00 to cover the cost of insuring City Council events ($4,500,000.00).
Funds for the renewal of these insurance policies will be available in the 2025- 2026 Fiscal Year budget of the City Manager’s Office as follows:
Account No. Description
6400 510 000 4268 Insurance Liability $3,500,000.00 6300 510 000 4268 Workers’ Compensation 1,000,000.00 $4,500,000.00
