METHOD OF APPROACH

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
The team proposed on this project have extensive experience in project management, construction management, construction inspection and design. We have successfully utilized CM/ PM Agency delivery on a host of projects.

Through this experience we have developed management procedures that promote collaboration and teamwork, improve quality and maximize the value of the above project. Z&K past performance with Cities, Counties, and other agencies shows our remarkable ability to control costs, guarantee great quality of work, and meet all project deadlines. We understand the importance of Schedule Control and are known in the industry for assisting the contractor to cut the project schedule and to yield significant savings for our clients through reduction of overhead management and construction costs. The most significant saving is less inconvenience to the traveling public and less City exposure due to shortened construction duration. This will help extend excess project funds into other important projects.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT APPROACH | The team proposed on these projects have extensive experience in project management, construction inspection, and construction management. We have successfully utilized PM/CM Agency delivery on a host of projects. Through this experience, we have developed project management procedures that promote collaboration and teamwork, improve quality and maximize the value of the above project. Z&K’s past performance with Cities, Counties, and other agencies shows our remarkable ability to control project costs, guarantee great quality of work, and meet all project deadlines. We understand the importance of adhering to the project budget and schedule control and are known in the industry for assisting the contractor to cut the project schedule and to yield significant savings for our clients through reduction of overhead construction management and construction costs. The most significant saving is less inconvenience to the traveling public and less public exposure due to shortened construction duration. This will help extend excess project funds into other important projects. Our firm is very experienced providing project management services. Our team provides program and project management to numerous agencies throughout Southern California and is very experienced in all of the project life cycles. We understand not only construction, but how to work with designers and architects as an extension of City staff.

Our Project Managers are licensed Professional Engineers have provided project management for many Cities.

They are experts at technical reviews of projects. They are known to push projects through, provide comprehensive constructability and cost savings options, and provide excellent final plans and specifications for bidding and construction. They are very thorough and ensure that the project plans and specifications are clear and inclusive, and do not leave gray areas for contractors to capitalize on. The constructability review will be crucial to the project success. A thorough constructability review of the improvements and the project specifications will be central to construction running smoothly. Z&K will have our proposed CM team, made up of licensed Professional Engineers and certified building officials, certified plan examiners, and certified building/structural/mechanical/electrical and plumbing inspectors perform constructability reviews. In addition to the CM teams review, we will have our in-house architects and structural and MEP designers perform a thorough constructability review.

Since our team will have the opportunity to be brought on during the design phase, we have had a lot of success with pre-purchasing long lead item materials on our projects. We work with the architect/designer to identify the crucial long lead items and procure these items around the 90% design. Some examples of the long lead items are the fire alarm, high performance sports lighting, mechanical equipment, traffic signal poles, etc. This helps architects/designers since they will be able to review the long lead i tem submittals prior to construction and will not be bombarded with all submittals at once. This also helps the project budget because the City avoids mark up on these items. The contractor also does not have to build in the risk of guaranteeing the pric e of the items for longer than the 30 days that vendors quote, so it provides less risk to the contractor and a better priced bid.

Since we are managing the projects, we have the opportunity to employ bidding strategies. In the current bidding environment, we have noticed that bids have been coming in significantly higher than the engineer’s estimate.

This creates problems and delays since the project funding was based on the engineer’s estimate. Due to the current bidding environment, the engineer’s estimate becomes outdated quickly. We have many options for addressing this. Z&K will thoroughly analyze the engineer’s estimate at 90% design and 100% design. Z&K has in-house designers in addition to our strong project management team that are very familiar with cost estimating and the current bidding environment. We will also discuss bidding strategies with the City to help mitigate the effects of the bidding environment. Z&K provides program and project management for many agencies and have created great bidding strategies to keep the bids within budget.

APPROACH TO PROJECTS & CLIENT SATISFACTION
STREET REHABILITATION AND IMPROVEMENT | To support the City with their Street Rehabilitation program, our team with their expertise and local knowledge can provide solutions to extend the life of local streets and major thoroughfares. Our team of roadway and traffic engineers uses a life cycle cost analysis to work towards a pavement design that reduces overall maintenance cost to the City. In addition to pavement repair, other roadway improvement considerations include sidewalks, curb ramps, curb and gutter and drainage correction.

SITE CIVIL, PARKING LOTS, ADA COMPLIANCE | Our strong experience with ADA compliance across a variety of clients gives our team the ability to quickly assess the challenges and develop the right solutions to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility. We consider both temporary and permanent impacts to the project site and adjacent properties in the development of solutions since construction activities will occur near residential and business areas. Based on very recent project experience , we are well-versed at assessing existing ramps and developing solution alternatives that comply with current ADA and municipal standards that minimize impacts to adjacent properties. Our team also has vast experience with civil design in existing and new parking lots for electric vehicle charging stations that must comply with local jurisdiction, EV manufacturer, utility company and ADA standards. We have developed unique and effective solutions when working within an existing parking lot with space constraints to minimize loss of parking stalls and impacts to both pedestrian and vehicular circulation.

DRAINAGE | Our Drainage Team has been providing design services in Orange County for over 15 years. studies have been conducted to identify deficiencies along PCH for a traffic rehabilitation and ADA upgrades project. This experience along with our understanding of the City’s flood protection requirements will provide the City of Costa Mesa with the team to successfully complete any drainage related projects. Our specialized and technical drainage engineers have prepared numerous drainage studies from complex hydrologic modeling to detailed storm drain design. We understand specific requirements and design standards set forth by the City. Our typical approach to drainage follows the same proven process applied to all projects. We take each step of the analysis to ensure that it meets not only the design criteria, but also sound engineering judgment. We eliminate unnecessary assumptions with calculations and documentations. Parameters used in the analysis have been carefully assessed. We don’t take the easy route of being conservative in our design. We make sure every design element has back-up calculations. Drainage Plans will be prepared to follow the City checklist such as catch basin locations, outlets, grading, flow direction, proposed easements, down drains and terrace drains, slopes, channels, and other structures.

TRAFFIC ANALYSIS | Our team will work closely with City’s Traffic Engineering team to review residents' and other stakeholders’ concerns regarding capital improvements, traffic operation and analysis, traffic safety and relevant tasks such as parking demand, traffic control devices, traffic simulation, schools and in general, traffic circulation and traffic operation matters and address their concerns.

We are experienced in performing roadside safety
analysis and traffic safety studies for intersections, pedestrian crossings, bicycle paths, schools, and other areas where the City has a safety concern. Our traffic team can evaluate the need for traffic control devices and lighting conditions to provide improvement plans and alternatives for traffic calming measures. We will conduct site visits to collect required data and relevant information to evaluate the existing condition and utilize appropriate measures and tools to develop effective approaches to address any issues. We have been working with Caltrans and local municipalities and is very familiar with existing guidelines, manuals, specifications, and applicable tools.

We will provide reports to meet Caltrans requirements for TOAR, ICE, DSDD and PEER and other documents.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT | The Construction Management Team prides itself in delivery projects from cradle to grave. We services begin with constructability reviews for projects that will be anticipate to be list for bid. Our thorough reviews include our findings, potential solutions, and any impacts to the contract. We will meet with the Designer to rectify any matters that may come up, so we ultimately have a buildable and billable b id document. Our services continue throughout the bid phase where we can summarize a validate the bids for the projects. Once bids are received, we will perform a bid analysis with the use of a Bid Summary spreadsheet to assess the most responsive bidder and determine the lowest bidder. We will also assist the City in the preparation of the contract award package and agenda items for City Council meetings. We will also support the City in preparing for the Pre -Construction meeting.

During construction we wi ll provide services that may include roadway inspection, structures inspection, answering RFI’s, submittal revies, shop plan reviews, drafting change orders, claims support, scheduling and review pay estimates. Our team is committed to closing out most projects within 2 months. This includes as-built drawings and providing all documents for the City’s archiving. All documents will be provided both in a hard-copy format as well as electronic copies in an external hard drive for the City’s usage.

*Work performed at previous firm.
*NJ Statewide Traffic Signal Optimization – Southern Region, NJ Route 30 Corridor, Atlantic County, NJ Lead Traffic Engineer responsible for optimizing traffic signal timings, phases, splits, offsets and cycle lengths along the existing major corridor. Clearance intervals were also recalculated and evaluated for the traffic safety purpose. The project area included approximately 4.5-mile arterial stretch with 12 signalized intersections in southern New Jersey. The corridor was modeled in Synchro/SimTraffic software. The existing models were calibrated in SimTraffic based on the field travel times observed by Tru-Traffic software with GPS. Signals were optimized with Synchro and TruTraffic and 5 different timing plans were prepared for different times of the days for implementation.

Traffic Calming Study: Camp Grandview (Pickens County Traffic Engineering IDIQ), Jasper, GA Senior Traffic Engineer responsible for QA/QC the traffic calming study report. This study was for reviewing the applicability of speed tables as a traffic calming measure. The data collection for the study included the vehicle running speed, pedestrian activity, the existing roadway’s geometry, signage, striping and clear zones. Several traffic calming measures were reviewed and considered including various speed tables, raised pedestrian crosswalks, and speed cushions. The study recommended placing the calming measure including raised pedestrian crosswalks the at several key locations for the vehicles to slow down safely as considering their spacings and maintaining the major crosswalk locations in the mid-block of the study area. *Route 7 Corridor Improvement Project, From Jarret Valley to Reston Parkway, Fairfax County, VA Lead traffic engineer responsible for the evaluation of alternative intersection designs for the second phase of the design which includes Displaced Left/Continuous Flow, Green-T, Restricted Crossing Median U-Turn, Median U-turn and roundabout intersections for safely accommodating the vehicles, bikes, and pedestrians all together along the corridor.

VISSIM and Synchro are being used in the evaluation and development of the alternatives. VISSIM software was used to evaluate existing conditions and selected design alternatives for the future conditions. Synchro software was utilized for signal optimization for the signals along the 7-mile corridor and was also used for reinforcing the VISSIM evaluation results. *Hilton Parkway Corridor Safety Study, Baltimore, MD
Project Manager responsible for evaluating the existing safety traffic conditions along Hilton Parkway located in West Baltimore. Approximately 1.1-mile length of the winding parkway was studied with field observation and traffic accident analysis from past five years. The studied parkway segment had two lanes on each direction and a barriered median between the opposite directions. Guide rails has been installed at some length of the studied segment and the street lighting has been installed throughout the study segment. Through the safety study, it was found that there were relatively high number of accidents on wet-surface conditions and at the night. The final recommendation included drainage improvement for the areas with underground water leaks, installing Raised Pavement Markers (PRM), streetlight improvements, and frequent restriping for improving the traffic safety along the corridor. *US13 Business and Naylor Street Intersection Study, Salisbury, MD Project Manager responsible for safety and traffic efficiency improvement at the intersection of US13 Business and Naylor Street. The study was for MDOT SHA District 1 and it included observing traffic counts, signal operations, traffic control device conditions, street lighting conditions, sidewalks and ADA compliance devices at and around the intersection. Crash analysis was also conducted for assessing the intersection safety with the traffic accident data for the past three years at the intersection. Crosswalks replacement, signal interval change, pedestrian signal head installation, audible ADA compliance push button installation, ADA ramp installation, sidewalk repairs, and installing additional warning signs were recommended at the end of the report with the estimated construction cost for each improvement.

Conditions: Unit rates presented on this fee schedule are for routinely performed geotechnical laboratory tests. Numerous other earth material physical tests can be performe d in our geotechnical laboratories, including rock core, soil cement and soil lime mixture tests. Tests not listed can be quoted upon request. This fee schedule is valid through December 31, 2023.

Prices are based on the assumption that samples are uncontaminated and do not contain heavy metals, acids, carcinogens and/or volatile organics which can be measured by an organic vapor analyzer or photoionization detector with a concentration greater than 50 parts -per-million (ppm). Quoted testing fees are based on the assumption that no protective clothing will be required to handle samples. If Level D protective clothing will be required during handling of samples (as defined in Federal CFR Part 1910.120), then a 40% increase in fees presented in this schedule will be applied. Level C protective clothing will be a 60% increase in fees. Converse will not handle samples that require either Level B or Level A protection in our geotechnical laboratories.

Contaminated samples will be returned to the client. Uncontaminated samples will be disposed of 30 days after presentation of test results. The client must disclose the source of samples. Samples imported from out of state will be incinerated after testing in accordance with requirements of the United States Department of Agriculture. Soil samples obtained within the State of California currently designated quarantine areas will also be incinerated in accordance with the requirement of the State of California, Department of Food and Agriculture, Division of Plant Industry, Pest Exclusion. A $5.00 incineration fee will be added to each sample that is required to be incinerated in accordance with State and Federal law.

Test results requiring plots will be presented in a publishable format generated from computer programs. Otherwise, raw test numbers will be presented. A minimum laboratory fee of $50.00 will be charged to present and mail test results. Beyond the standard U.S. Mail delivery, specialized transmittal will be charged at additional cost (e.g. , Federal Express, UPS, etc.). Geotechnical testing does not include engineering and/or geologic review and analysis.

Typical turnaround for geotechnical laboratory testing is two weeks (or roughly ten working days). To expedite test turnaround to five working days, a 50% increase in the fees in this schedule will be applied. Many geotechnical tests require at least one week to perform in accordance with ASTM or other standard specifications. Fees presented in this schedule for relatively undisturbed direct shear, consolidation or expansion pressure tests are based on the assumption that 2.416-inch inside diameter brass ring samples will be provided to the geotechnical laboratory for testing. Remolded specimens will be compacted in standard 2.5 -inch ou tside diameter brass rings for direct shear, consolidation and expansion pressure tests. All fees presented in this schedule are based on the assumption that the client will deliver samples to our laboratory at no additional cost to Converse.

Invoices will be issued monthly and are payable on receipt unless otherwise agreed upon. Interest of 1.5% per month (but not exceeding the maximum allowed by law) will be payable on any amount not paid within thirty days; payment thereafter to be applied first to ac crued interest and then to the principle unpaid amount. The Client shall pay any attorneys' fees or other costs incurred in collecting any delinquent amounts.

Costa Mesa, CA 92626
File #: 23-1270 Meeting Date: 6/20/2023
TITLE:

AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASE OF FORD FLEET VEHICLES
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, MAINTENANCE SERVICES

DIVISION
PRESENTED BY: RAJA SETHURAMAN, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
CONTACT INFORMATION: ROBERT RYAN, MAINTENANCE SERVICES MANAGER, (714) 327-7499
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council:

1. Authorize by minute action, that compliance with the bidding requirements and procedures is inefficient and not in the best interest of the City, based on identified conditions and supported by substantial evidence.

2. Authorize the purchase of Ford fleet vehicles from local authorized Ford dealerships.

3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the necessary documents for the purchase of new and replacement Ford fleet vehicles as approved in Fiscal Years 2021-22, 2022-23, and 2023-24 annual budgets.

BACKGROUND:

Consistent with past practices, new and/or replacement vehicle and equipment requests are evaluated during the annual budget process along with Equipment Maintenance staff recommendations.

The vehicles and equipment identified have high mileage and usage, are in poor condition, and have severe mechanical issues. Other factors for replacement consideration include obsolete parts availability and high maintenance and repair costs. All the vehicles and equipment approved for replacement have exceeded their anticipated service lives.

Typically, vehicles and equipment are purchased using contracts through Sourcewell. Utilizing a Sourcewell contract meets all requirements outlined in the City of Costa Mesa’sPurchasing Policy and all requirements set forth by the State of California in regard to regional cooperative purchasing agreements. This process has been utilized successfully by the City for several previous vehicle purchases. However, over the last two (2) years, the availability of vehicles has been severely limited and manufacturers have not been allocating sufficient inventory for government procurement.

Therefore, a total of twenty-two (22) vehicles that were approved by City Council for replacement in

File #: 23-1270 Meeting Date: 6/20/2023
Therefore, a total of twenty-two (22) vehicles that were approved by City Council for replacement in Fiscal Years 2021-22 and 2022-23 have not been secured through the Sourcewell contract. These vehicles include thirteen (13) light and medium duty trucks for the Maintenance Division, six (6) support and executive staff type vehicles, an animal control truck for the Police Department, and two (2) trucks to support operations in Parks and Community Services.

In order to address the vehicle procurement issue, Purchasing released an Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 23-17 on PlanetBids on April 27, 2023, with a response date of May 17, 2023. However, the City received no bids. The IFB was modified after receiving feedback from potential vendors. IFB No. 23- 17 was released for a second time on May 22, 2023, with a response date of June 5, 2023. Once again, the City received no bids.

ANALYSIS:

The purchase of these vehicles is necessary in order to upgrade the City’sfleet of operable vehicles to serve the community and its stakeholders. The necessity of this purchase is exemplified by the continual breakdowns and repairs of the aging fleet of vehicles. The purchase will also provide vehicles to newly added staff that serve the community.

Traditional procurement avenues have been exhausted with no results. Approving the recommendation would allow staff to negotiate directly with one or more local authorized Ford dealership(s) to procure the vehicles necessary to ensure maintenance and safety operations.

Attachment 1 includes the complete list of approved vehicles from Fiscal Years 2021-22 and 2022-23 yet to be procured. Procurement of additional vehicles was also approved as part of the Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could choose not to authorize the direct purchase of vehicles from local authorized Ford dealerships. This is not recommended this would result in further delays in the procurement of approved vehicles and equipment. These delays could potentially result in safety issues as well as maintenance units not being in service promptly causing staff to be operating unreliable vehicles.

FISCAL REVIEW:

Funds for the replacement of City vehicles and equipment as proposed are included in the Equipment Replacement Fund’s Operating Budget.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed this report and approves it as to form.

CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:

This item works toward achieving the following City Council Goals:
· Strengthen the Public’s Safety and Improve Quality of Life · Advance Environmental Sustainability and Climate Resiliency

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends the City Council:

1. Authorize by minute action, that compliance with the bidding requirements and procedures is inefficient and not in the best interest of the city, based on specifically identified conditions and supported by substantial evidence.

2. Authorize the purchase of Ford fleet vehicles from local authorized Ford dealerships.

3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the necessary documents for the purchase of new and replacement City fleet vehicles as approved in Fiscal Years 2021-22, 2022-23, and 2023 -24 annual budgets.

PRESENTED BY: CAROL MOLINA, FINANCE DIRECTOR
CONTACT INFORMATION: CAROL MOLINA, FINANCE DIRECTOR, (714) 754-5243 RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council Adopt Resolution No. 2023-xx (Attachment 1) approving the Statement of Investment Policy for FY 2023-2024 (Attachment 2).

BACKGROUND:

Pursuant to California Government Code Section 53646(a)(2), the City Treasurer may annually render a statement of investment policy to the legislative body and any oversight committee, which the legislative body of the local agency shall consider at a public meeting. Any change in the policy shall also be considered by the legislative body of the local agency at a public meeting. City Council reviews and adopts the Invest Policy after City staff presents the policy and any recommended changes to the Finance and Pension Advisory Committee (FiPAC) for review.

The attached Investment Policy has been developed according to the specific needs of the City of Costa Mesa and complies with the California Government Code, guidelines from the California Municipal Treasurer’sAssociation (CMTA), and the Association of Public Treasurers of the United States and Canada (APTUS&C), as well as recommendations by Chandler Asset Management (Chandler), the City’s contracted investment manager.

ANALYSIS:

The City Treasurer, contracted investment manager, and staff annually review the Investment Policy, which follows requirements established by California Government Code, and recommend changes based on investment objectives, legislative changes, investment management practices, or the bond market and economy.

One of the City Treasurer’simportant statutory duties is set forth in California Government Code Section 41001, which states the “citytreasurer shall receive and safely keep all money the treasurer receives.” The basic premise underlying the City's investment philosophy is and continues to be, to ensure that surplus funds are always safe and available when needed. Criteria for selecting investments and the order of priority are:

1. Safety - It is the primary duty and responsibility of the City Treasurer to protect, preserve, and

1. Safety - It is the primary duty and responsibility of the City Treasurer to protect, preserve, and maintain intact cash and investments placed in trust with the City Treasurer.

2. Liquidity - An adequate percentage of the portfolio should be maintained in liquid short-term securities, which can be converted to cash if necessary to meet disbursement requirements.

3. Yield - The City Treasurer shall obtain the highest possible yield within the parameters of the City’s authorized investments, provided the criteria for safety and liquidity have been met.

Chandler reviewed the City’s Investment Policy as part of their investment management role to ensure compliance with the California Government Code. There were no material changes to the California Government Code. Therefore, no change is recommended to the City’s Investment Policy.

ALTERNATIVES:

Since there have been no changes to the City's Investment Policy, there are currently no alternative options.

FISCAL REVIEW:

There is no fiscal impact. This item is administrative in nature.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed this report and approved it as to form.

CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:

This item supports the City Council Goal:
· Achieve Long-Term Fiscal Sustainability.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends the City Council Adopt Resolution No. 2023-xx (Attachment 1) approving the Statement of Investment Policy for FY 2023-2024 (Attachment 2).

CITY OF COSTA MESA

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
2022-2023
I. GENERAL INTRODUCTION
Under the laws of the State of California, it is the responsibility of the City Treasurer, at the direction of the City Council, to secure and protect the public funds of the City, and to establish proper safeguards, controls, and procedures to maintain these funds in a lawful, rational and auspicious manner. Said maintenance shall include the prudent and secure investment of idle funds, in a manner anticipated to provide additional benefit to the people of the City of Costa Mesa. The City's Finance Director serves as the City Treasurer.

On an a
nnual basis, this Statement of Investment Policy will be reviewed by the Finance and Pension Advisory Committee and approved by the City Council in an open public meeting. It will be provided to securities dealers, banks, and brokers currently approved for conducting investment transactions with the City Treasurer's office in the ongoing effort to manage the investment portfolio; to other affected persons or entities; and to any members of the public wishing to review this document upon request. The Treasurer reserves the right to provide these documents on a cost basis.

II. SCOPE
This Statement of Investment Policy pertains to those idle funds under the control of the Treasurer, designated for the daily ongoing operations of the City; and concerns the deposit, maintenance, safekeeping, and preservation of all such funds, and the investments made with these funds. This Policy does not apply to pension trust funds, deferred compensation funds, and certain other trust or non-operating funds.

Ill. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Statement of Investment Policy is to provide the City Council, the Finance and Pension Advisory Committee, those involved in servicing the investment requirements of the City, and any other interested party, a clear understanding of the regulations and internal guidelines that will be observed in maintaining and investing City funds. This statement is intended to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the City's temporary idle cash, and outline the procedures for maximizing the efficiency of the City's cash management system. The ultimate goal of the Investment Policy is to enhance the economic status of the City while safeguarding its assets.

IV. OBJECTIVE
The City's cash management system is designed to accurately monitor and forecast revenues and expenditures, thus enabling the City to invest funds to the fullest extent possible only after the criteria established for safety and liquidity have been met.

ATTACHMENT 2
388
2 The basic premise underlying the City's investment philosophy is and continues to be, to ensure that surplus funds are always safe and available when needed. The City strives to invest all idle funds as near 100 percent as possible, through daily and projected cash flow determinations. Idle cash management and investment transactions are the responsibility of the City Treasurer or his/her designee.

Criteria for selecting investments and the order of priority are:

1. Safety: The safety and risk associated with an investment refers to the potential loss of principal, interest, or a combination of these amounts. The City only operates in those investments that are considered prudent and allowable under current legislation of the State of California Government Code Section 53600 et seq. and the general laws of the City of Costa Mesa.

2. Liquidity: This refers to the ability to "cash in" at any moment in time with a minimal chance of losing some portion of principal or interest.

3. Yield: Yield is the potential dollar earnings an investment can provide, and sometimes is referred to as the rate of return.

V. DELEG&TION OF INVESTMENT AUTHORITY

Authority to manage the City of Costa Mesa's investment program is derived from City of Costa Mesa Council Resolution No. 20-xx. Management responsibility for the investment program is hereby delegated for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 to the City Treasurer or his/her designee, who shall establish written procedures for the operation of the investment program consistent with this Investment Policy. Procedures should include references to: safekeeping, repurchase agreements, wir e transfer agreements, banking service contracts, and collateral/ depository agreements. Such procedures shall include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for investment transactions. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the City Treasurer or his/her designee. The City Treasurer or his/her designee shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials.

The City may engage the services of an external investment manager to assist in the management of the City's investment portfolio in a manner consistent with the City's objectives. Such an external manager may be granted discretion to purchase and sell investment securities in accordance with this Investment Policy.

Such a manager must be registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. 389
3 VI. STANDARD OF PRUDENCE

The Treasurer shall perform the investment function in conjunction with the Prudent Investor Standard as set forth in the California Government Code Section 53600.3: "... all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the City, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the City.

Collateralization will be required on two types of investments: certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements. In order to anticipate market changes and provide a level of security for all funds, a minimum collateralization level is required.

Surplus funds must be deposited in State or national banks, State or Federal savings and loan associations, or State or Federal credit unions within the State of California. The deposits cannot exceed the amount of the bank's or savings and loan's paid- up capital and surplus. 393
7 The bank or savings and loan must secure public funds deposits with eligible securities having a market value of 110 percent of the total amount of the deposits. State law also allows as an eligible security, first trust deeds having a value of 150 percent of the total amount of the deposits. A third class of collateral is 105 percent in the form of a letter of credit drawn on the Federal Home Loan Bank.

The City Treasurer or his/her designee may waive security for that portion of a deposit, which is insured pursuant to Federal law. Currently, the first $250,000 of a deposit is federally insured and deposits in excess of $250,000 are collateralized as previously indicated.

3. The City may elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss in order to improve the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio in response to market conditions or City's risk preferences; and
394
8 4. If securities owned by the City are downgraded by an NRSRO to a level below the quality required by this Investment Policy, it will be the City's policy to review the credit situation and make a determination as to whether to sell or retain such securities in the portfolio.

a. If a security is downgraded, the Finance Director/ Treasurer will use discretion in determining whether to sell or hold the security based on its current maturity, the economic outlook for the issuer, and other relevant factors.

b. If a decision is made to retain a downgraded security in the portfolio, its presence in the portfolio will be monitored and reported monthly to the City Council.

C. Mitigating market risk in the portfolio

Market risk is the risk that the portfolio value will fluctuate due to changes in the general level of interest rates. The City recognizes that, over time, longer -term portfolios have the potential to achieve higher returns. On the other hand, longer-term portfolios have higher volatility of return.

The City will mitigate market risk by providing adequate liquidity for short-term cash needs, and by making longer -term investments only with funds that are not needed for current cashflow purposes. The City further recognizes that certain types of securities, including variable rate securities, securities with principal paydowns prior to maturity, and securities with embedded options, will affect the market risk profile of the portfolio differently in different interest rate environments. The City, therefore, adopts the following strategies to control and mitigate its exposure to market risk:

l. The City will maintain a minimum of three months of budgeted operating expenditures in short term investments to provide sufficient liquidity for expected disbursements;

2. The maximum percent of callable securities (does not include "make whole call" securities as defined in the Glossary) in the portfolio will be 20 percent;

3. The maximum stated final maturity of individual securities in the portfolio will be five years, except as otherwise stated in this policy; and

4. The duration of the portfolio will at all times be approximately equal to the duration (typically plus or minus 20 percent) of a Market Benchmark Index selected by the City based on the City's investment objectives, constraints and risk tolerances. The City's current Benchmark will be documented in the investment guidelines.

XII. POLICY COMPLIANCE REGULATIONS

Should the portfolio, for any reason, fall out of compliance with this Investment Policy, immediate liquidation of securities in order to bring the portfolio back into compliance is not required. However, the Treasurer must take action to bring the portfolio into compliance within 12 months from the date the portfolio was determined to be in non- compliance with the provisions of this Investment Policy so long as the action is deemed to be prudent under then current market conditions. Additionally, adequate disclosure as to all instances of noncompliance, and the efforts undertaken to bring the portfolio into compliance, must be made on the monthly Treasurer's Report.
395
9 XIII. REPORTING

Under provisions of Section 53646 of the California Government Code, the Treasurer or his/her designee shall render a quarterly investment report to the City Council, the City Manager, and the City Attorney within 30 days following the end of the quarter covered by the report.

11 XVI. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES (PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AND EVALUATION)

A. Overall objective: The investment portfolio will be designed with the overall objective of obtaining a total rate of return throughout economic cycles, commensurate with investment risk constraints and cash flow needs.

3. Competitive Bids. Purchase and sales of securities are made on the basis of competitive offers and bids when practical.

4. Cash Forecast. The cash flow for the City is analyzed with the receipt of revenues and maturity of investments scheduled so that adequate cash will be available to meet disbursement requirements.

5. Investment Limitations. Security purchases and holdings are maintained within statutory limits imposed by the California Government Code. Current limits are:

Bankers' Acceptances
Commercial Paper
Negotiable Certificates of Deposit
Medium Term Notes
Money Market Mutual Funds
Asset-Backed/Mortgage-Backed Securities
Federal Agency restriction
Local Agency Investment Fund

Orange County Treasurer's Pool
Supranational Securities

6. Liquidity. The marketability of a security is considered at the time of purchase, as the security may have to be sold at a later date to meet unanticipated cash demands.

7. Diversification. The portfolio should consist of a mix of various types of securities, issuers, and maturities.
399

INVESTMENT GUIDELINES AND STRATEGY
(Continued)

8. Evaluate Certificates of Deposit
(a) Certificates of Deposit shall be evaluated in terms of FDIC coverage. For deposits in excess of the FDIC insured maximum, approved collateral at full market value shall be required. (California Government Code Section 53652)
(b) Negotiable Certificates of Deposit shall be evaluated in terms of the credit worthiness of the issuer, as these deposits are uninsured and uncollateralized promissory notes.

9. Benchmark Index. The portfolio has a performance index of ICE BofAML 1-5 Year US Treasury & Agency Index. This index includes all securities with a remaining term to final maturity less than five years.

II. STRATEGY - Strategy refers to the ability to manage financial resources in the most advantageous manner.

1. Economic Forecasts. Economic Forecasts are obtained periodically from economists and financial experts through bankers and brokers to assist the Treasurer or his/her designee with the formulation of an investment strategy for the local agency.

2. Implementing Investment Strategy. Investment transactions are executed which conform with anticipated interest rate trends and the current investment strategy plan.

3. Rapport. A close working relationship is maintained with large vendors of the City. The objective is to pinpoint when large disbursements will clear the City's bank account. It is essential for good cash control that such large expenditures be anticipated, estimated as to dollar amount, and communicated to the Treasurer or his/her designee for liquidity planning purposes.

4. Preserve Portfolio Value. Field standards are developed in order to maintain earnings near the market and to preserve the value of the portfolio.

INTERNAL CONTROL - GUIDELINES

OBJECTIVES OF INTERNAL CONTROL

Internal control is the plan of organization and all the related systems established by the management's objective of ensuring, as far as practicable:

• The orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to management policies.

• The safeguarding of assets.

• The prevention or detection of errors and fraud.

• The accuracy and completeness of the accounting records.

• The timely preparation of reliable financial information.

LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL CONTROL

No internal control system, however elaborate, can by itself guarantee the achievement of management's objectives. Internal control can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives are met, because of its inherent limitations, including:

• Management's usual requirement that a control be cost-effective.

• The direction of most controls at recurring, rather than unusual, types of transactions.

• Human error due to misunderstanding, carelessness, fatigue, or distraction.

• Potential for collusion that circumvents controls dependent on the segregation of functions.

• Potential for a person responsible for exercising control abusing that responsibility; a responsible staff member could be in a position to override controls which management has set up. 401
15 CITY OF COSTA MESA

INVESTMENT PROCEDURES

INTERNAL CONTROL - GUIDELINES
(Continued)

ELEMENTS OF INTERNAL CONTROL

Elements of a system of internal control are the means by which an organization can satisfy the objectives of internal control. These elements are:

1. ORGANIZATION
Specific responsibility for the performance of duties should be assigned and lines of authority and reporting clearly identified and understood.

2. PERSONNEL
Personnel should have capabilities commensurate with their responsibilities. Personnel selection and training policies together with the quality and quantity of supervision are thus important.

3. SEGREGATION OF FUNCTIONS
Segregation of incompatible functions reduces the risk that a person is in a position both to perpetrate and conceal errors or fraud in the normal course of duty. If two parts of a transaction are handled by different people, collusion is necessary to conceal errors or fraud. In particular, the functions that should be considered when evaluating segregation of functions are authorization, execution, recording, custody of assets, and performing reconciliations.

4. AUTHORIZATION
All transactions should be authorized by an appropriate responsible individual. The responsibilities and limits of authorization should be clearly delineated. The individual or group authorizing a specific transaction or granting general authority for transactions should be in a position commensurate with the nature and significance of the transactions. Delegation of authority to authorize transactions should be handled very carefully.

5. CONTROLS OVER AN ACCOUNTING SYSTEM
Controls over an accounting system include the procedures, both manual and computerized, carried out independently to ascertain that transactions are complete, valid, authorized, and properly recorded. 402
16 CITY OF COSTA MESA

13. Adequate supervision of Finance Department operations.

B. Significant revenues are confirmed directly with payor and compared with City books to make sure amounts are recorded properly.

C. Cash balances are substantiated by confirming all account balances recorded in books. Bank reconciliations are reviewed for propriety and recalculated by the auditor. All significant reconciling items on bank reconciliations are verified as valid reconciling items by proving to subsequent bank statements.

20 Glossary of Investment Terms

AGENCIES. Shorthand market terminology for any obligation issued by a government-sponsored entity (GSE), or a federally related institution. Most obligations of GSEs are not guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US government. Examples are:

FFCB. The Federal Farm Credit Bank System provides credit and liquidity in the agricultural industry.

FFCB issues discount notes and bonds.

FHLB. The Federal Home Loan Bank provides credit and liquidity in the housing market. FHLB issues discount notes and bonds.

FHLMC. Like FHLB, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation provides credit and liquidity in the housing market. FHLMC, also called "FreddieMac" issues discount notes, bonds and mortgage pass-through securities.

FNMA. Like FHLB and FreddieMac, the Federal National Mortgage Association was established to provide credit and liquidity in the housing market. FNMA , also known as "FannieMae," issues discount notes, bonds and mortgage pass -through securities.

GNMA. The Government National Mortgage Association, known as "GinnieMae," issues mortgage pass-through securities, which are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US Government.

PEFCO. The Private Export Funding Corporation assists exporters. Obligations of PEFCO are not guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US government.

TVA. The Tennessee Valley Authority provides flood control and power and promotes development in portions of the Tennessee, Ohio, and Mississippi River valleys. TVA currently issues discount notes and bonds.

ASKED. The price at which a seller offers to sell a security.

ASSET BACKED SECURITIES. Securities supported by pools of installment loans or leases or by pools of revolving lines of credit.

AVERAGE LIFE. In mortgage-related investments, including CMOs, the average time to expected receipt of principal payments, weighted by the amount of principal expected.

BANKER'S ACCEPTANCE. A money market instrument created to facilitate international trade transactions.

It is highly liquid and safe because the risk of the trade transaction is transferred to the bank which "accepts" the obligation to pay the investor.

BENCHMARK. A comparison security or portfolio. A performance benchmark is a partial market index, which reflects the mix of securities allowed under a specific investment policy.

BID. The price at which a buyer offers to buy a security.

BROKER. A broker brings buyers and sellers together for a transaction for which the broker receives a commission. A broker does not sell securities from his own position.

CALLABLE. A callable security gives the issuer the option to call it from the investor prior to its maturity.

The main cause of a call is a decline in interest rates. If interest rates decline since an issuer issues securities, it will likely call its current securities and reissue them at a lower rate of interest. Callable securities have reinvestment risk as the investor may receive its principal back when interest rates are lower than when the investment was initially made.

CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT (CD). A time deposit with a specific maturity evidenced by a certificate. Large denomination CDs may be marketable.

CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT ACCOUNT REGISTRY SYSTEM (CDARS). A private placement service that allows local agencies to purchase more than $250,000 in CDs from a single financial institution (must be a participating institution of CDARS) while still maintaining FDIC insurance coverage.

CDARS is currently the only entity providing this service. CDARS facilitates the trading of deposits between the California institution and other participating institutions in amounts that are less than $250,000 each, so that FDIC coverage is maintained.
407
21 COLLATERAL. Securities or cash pledged by a borrower to secure repayment of a loan or repurchase agreement. Also, securities pledged by a financial institution to secure deposits of public monies.

COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS (CMO). Classes of bonds that redistribute the cash flows of mortgage securities (and whole loans) to create securities that have different levels of prepayment risk, as compared to the underlying mortgage securities.

COMMERCIAL PAPER. The short-term unsecured debt of corporations.

COST YIELD. The annual income from an investment divided by the purchase cost. Because it does not give effect to premiums and discounts which may have been included in the purchase cost, it is an incomplete measure of return.

COUPON. The rate of return at which interest is paid on a bond.

CREDIT RISK. The risk that principal and/or interest on an investment will not be paid in a timely manner due to changes in the condition of the issuer.

CURRENT YIELD. The annual income from an investment divided by the current market value. Since the mathematical calculation relies on the current market value rather than the investor's cost, current yield is unrelated to the actual return the investor will earn if the security is held to maturity.

DEALER. A dealer acts as a principal in security transactions, selling securities from and buying securities for his own position.

DEBENTURE. A bond secured only by the general credit of the issuer.

DELIVERY vs. PAYMENT (DVP). A securities industry procedure whereby payment for a security must be made at the time the security is delivered to the purchaser's agent.

DERIVATIVE. Any security that has principal and/or interest payments which are subject to uncertainty (but not for reasons of default or credit risk) as to timing and/or amount, or any security which represents a component of another security which has been separated from other components ("Stripped" coupons and principal). A derivative is also defined as a financial instrument the value of which is totally or partially derived from the value of another instrument, interest rate, or index.

DISCOUNT. The difference between the par value of a bond and the cost of the bond, when the cost is below par. Some short -term securities, such as T -bills and banker's acceptances, are known as discount securities. They sell at a discount from par, and return the par value to the investor at maturity without additional interest. Other securities, which have fixed coupons, trade at a discount when the coupon rate is lower than the current market rate for securities of that maturity and/or quality.

DIVERSIFICATION. Dividing investment funds among a variety of investments to avoid excessive exposure to any one source of risk.

DURATION. The weighted average time to maturity of a bond where the weights are the present values of the future cash flows. Duration measures the price sensitivity of a bond to changes in interest rates. (See modified duration).

FEDERAL FUNDS RATE. The rate of interest charged by banks for short -term loans to other banks. The Federal Reserve Bank through open -market operations establishes it.

FEDERAL OPEN MARKET COMMITTEE. A committee of the Federal Reserve Board that establishes monetary policy and executes it through temporary and permanent changes to the supply of bank reserves.

LEVERAGE. Borrowing funds in order to invest in securities that have the potential to pay earnings at a rate higher than the cost of borrowing.

LIQUIDITY. The speed and ease with which an asset can be converted to cash.

LOCAL AGENCY INVESTMENT FUND (LAIF). A voluntary investment fund open to government entities and certain non-profit organizations in California that is managed by the State Treasurer's Office.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT POOL. Investment pools that range from the State Treasurer's Office Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) to county pools, to Joint Powers Authorities (JPAs). These funds are not subject to the same SEC rules applicable to money market mutual funds.

MAKE WHOLE CALL. A type of call provision on a bond that allows the issuer to pay off the remaining debt early. Unlike a call option, with a make whole call provision, the issuer makes a lump sum 408
22 payment that equals the net present value (NPV) of future coupon payments that will not be paid because of the call. With this type of call, an investor is compensated, or "made whole." MARGIN. The difference between the market value of a security and the loan a broker makes using that security as collateral.

MARKET RISK. The risk that the value of securities will fluctuate with changes in overall market conditions or interest rates.

MARKET VALUE. The price at which a security can be traded.

MARKING TO MARKET. The process of posting current market values for securities in a portfolio.

MATURITY. The final date upon which the principal of a security becomes due and payable.

MEDIUM TERM NOTES. Unsecured, investment-grade senior debt securities of major corporations which are sold in relatively small amounts on either a continuous or an intermittent basis. MTNs are highly flexible debt instruments that can be structured to respond to market opportunities or to investor preferences.

MODIFIED DURATION. The percent change in price for a 100 basis point change in yields. Modified duration is the best single measure of a portfolio's or security's exposure to market risk.

MONEY MARKET. The market in which short-term debt instruments (T-bills, discount notes, commercial paper, and banker's acceptances) are issued and traded.

MORTGAGE PASS -THROUGH SECURITIES. A securitized participation in the interest and principal cash flows from a specified pool of mortgages. Principal and interest payments made on the mortgages are passed through to the holder of the security.

MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. Securities is sued by state and local agencies to finance capital and operating expenses.

MUTUAL FUND. An entity which pools the funds of investors and invests those funds in a set of securities which is specifically defined in the fund's prospectus. Mutual funds can be invested in various types of domestic and/or international stocks, bonds, and money market instruments, as set forth in the individual fund's prospectus. For most large, institutional investors, the costs associated with investing in mutual funds are higher than the investor can obtain through an individually managed portfolio.

NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED STATISTICAL RATINGS ORGANIZATION (NRSRO).

A credit rating agency that the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States uses for regulatory purposes. Credit rating agencies provide assessments of an investment's risk. The issuers of investments, especially debt securities, pay credit rating agencies to provide them with ratings. The three most prominent NRSROs are Fitch, S&P, and Moody's.

NEGOTIABLE CD. A short-term debt instrument that pays interest and is issued by a bank, savings or federal association, state or federal credit union, or state-licensed branch of a foreign bank.

PRIMARY DEALER. A financial institution (1) that is a trading counterparty with the Federal Reserve in its execution of market operations to carry out U.S. monetary policy, and (2) that participates for statistical reporting purposes in compiling data on activity in the U.S. Government securities market.

PRUDENT PERSON (PRUDENT INVESTOR) RULE. A standard of responsibility which applies to fiduciaries.

In California, the rule is stated as "Investments shall be managed with the care, skill, prudence and diligence, under the circumstances then prevailing, that a prudent person, acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters, would use in the conduct of an enterprise of like character and with like aims to accomplish similar purposes."
409
23 REALIZED YIELD. The change in value of the portfolio due to interest received and interest earned and realized gains and losses. It does not give effect to changes in market value on securities, which have not been sold from the portfolio.

REGIONAL DEALER. A financial intermediary that buys and sells securities for the benefit of its customers without maintaining substantial inventories of securities and that is not a primary dealer.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENT. Short-term purchases of securities with a simultaneous agreement to sell the securities back at a higher price. From the seller's point of view, the same transaction is a reverse repurchase agreement.

SAFEKEEPING. A service to bank customers whereby securities are held by the bank in the customer's name.

STRUCTURED NOTE. A complex, fixed income instrument, which pays interest, based on a formula tied to other interest rates, commodities or indices. Examples include inverse floating rate notes which have coupons that increase when other interest rates are falling, and which fall when other interest rates are rising, and "dual index floaters," which pay interest based on the relationship between two other interest rates - for example, the yield on the ten-year Treasury note minus the Libor rate. Issuers of such notes lock in a reduced cost of borrowing by purchasing interest rate swap agreements.

SUPRANATIONAL. A Supranational is a multi-national organization whereby member states transcend national boundaries or interests to share in the decision making to promote economic development in the member countries.

TOTAL RATE OF RETURN. A measure of a portfolio's performance over time. It is the internal rate of return, which equates the beginning value of the portfolio with the ending value; it includes interest earnings, realized and unrealized gains, and losses in the portfolio.

U.S. TREASURY OBLIGATIONS. Securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. Treasuries are considered to have no credit risk, and are the benchmark for interest rates on all other securities in the US and overseas. The Treasury issues both discounted securities and fixed coupon notes and bonds.

TREASURY BILLS. All securities issued with initial maturities of one year or less are issued as discounted instruments, and are called Treasury bills. The Treasury currently issues three - and six-month T- bills at regular weekly auctions. It also issues "cash management" bills as needed to smooth out cash flows.

TREASURY NOTES. All securities issued with initial maturities of two to ten years are called Treasury notes, and pay interest semi-annually.

TREASURY BONDS. All securities issued with initial maturities greater than ten years are called Treasury bonds.

Like Treasury notes, they pay interest semi-annually.

VOLATILITY. The rate at which security prices change with changes in general economic conditions or the general level of interest rates.

YIELD TO MATURITY. The annualized internal rate of return on an investment which equates the expected cash flows from the investment to its cost.

CITY OF COSTA MESA
Agenda Report
77 Fair Drive
Costa Mesa, CA 92626
File #: 23-1269 Meeting Date: 6/20/2023
TITLE:

AMENDMENT NUMBER THREE TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH LYONS SECURITY SERVICE, INC.

DEPARTMENT: PARKS AND COMMUNITY SERVICES
PRESENTED BY: JASON MINTER, PARKS AND COMMUNITY SERVICES

DIRECTOR
CONTACT INFORMATION: JASON MINTER, PARKS AND COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR (714) 754 - 5009
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council:

1. Approve proposed Amendment No 3 to the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Lyons Security Services, Inc., increasing the maximum compensation by $45,000 for unarmed security guard services for the Lions Park Campus and the Costa Mesa Senior Center, for a total not-to- exceed amount of $300,000 with a contingency of 10%, or $30,000, for a total amount of $330,000.

2. Authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the agreement and all future amendments to the Professional Services Agreement.

BACKGROUND:

The City entered into a professional services agreement to provide security guard services at the Costa Mesa Senior Center (CMSC) in 2014 when the City assumed operations of the facility. In January 2019, City Council approved additional security guard services for the Lions Park Campus on a 24/7/365 basis to monitor activity on the entire campus.

In March 2019, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was released for security guard services at both Lions Park and the Senior Center. Subsequently, in June 2019, City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Lyons Security for a two (2) year term with three (3) one-year renewal options. This agreement also included an annual Not-to-Exceed (NTE) amount of $255,000 with a contingency of 10%, or $25,500, for a total amount of $280,500.

In 2020, security guard services at the Senior Center were halted as a cost saving measure due to facility closures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Security guard services did not resume at the Senior Center until March 2022 when it was determined by staff that the entirety of Lions Park and

Page 1 of 3 ends

411
File #: 23-1269 Meeting Date: 6/20/2023
the Senior Center could not be adequately patrolled by a single security guard.

In July 2022, the City and Lyons Security Service amended the agreement to enter into the second renewal period for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23. In addition to extending the term of the agreement, Amendment Number Two also included an hourly rate increase along with the reinstatement of full services from the original agreement.

ANALYSIS:

The need for security guard services at both the Lions Park Campus and the Costa Mesa Senior Center continues to be a priority and aligns with the City Council Strategic Plan goal to Strengthen the Public’sSafety and Improve the Quality of Life. In evaluating the existing agreement, it was determined that the NTE contract amount and contingency was not increased with Amendment Two, and remains at $280,500 annually, despite the increase in hourly rates for security guard personnel for FY 2022-23 as stipulated in the Amendment.

Currently, the projected cost to the City for security guard services through June 30, 2023, totals $285,000, which is $4,500 more than the NTE and contingency. This request is to increase the NTE amount of the PSA with Lyons Security to $300,000 to cover the shortage in FY 2022-23 and to fully fund security guard services through June 30, 2024.

ALTERNATIVES:

City Council may direct staff to alter security guard services hours at the Costa Mesa Senior Center and Lions Park; however, staff does not recommend this action as the public’ssafety and monitoring activity at these City facilities is a priority.

FISCAL REVIEW:

Funding for security guard services is available in the Parks and Community Services Department operating budget for FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City’s Attorney’s Office has reviewed this report and approved as to form.

PRESENTED BY: JASON MINTER, PARKS AND COMMUNITY SERVICES

DIRECTOR
CONTACT INFORMATION: JASON MINTER, PARKS AND COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR, (714) 754-5009
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and Newport-Mesa Unified School District to provide SMART Camp to Costa Mesa residents and authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the agreement and future amendments to the agreement.

BACKGROUND:

Sports, Music, and Art (SMART) Camp is a free summer camp provided to Costa Mesa’syouth through a joint partnership between the City of Costa Mesa (City) and the Newport Mesa Unified School District (NMUSD). SMART Camp includes three different program areas in which participants receive instruction in various sports, through different artistic mediums, and with a variety of musical instruments. NMUSD Teachers and Coaches provide coordination and instruction in these program areas. Participation is limited to Costa Mesa residents entering 4th through 8th grades.

SMART Camp has been a joint partnership since 2014, with the City handling marketing and registration, and funding all NMUSD teachers and coaches that are hired as SMART Camp contract instructors/coordinators. Over the years, NMUSD has provided busing, nutrition, and use of various camp equipment, classrooms, facilities and fields. In 2019, the League of Cities recognized SMART Camp for its innovative approach to providing high quality enrichment programing to the City’syouth free of charge.

ANALYSIS:

SMART Camp is a highly successful program that has approximately 1,000 enrollments on an annual basis. Planning for SMART Camp requires coordination from various City and NMUSD staff to ensure the camp’s execution is a success. There is traditionally a kick-off meeting in late January, with planning taking place through the month of May. SMART Camp is conducted exclusively on NMUSD property and occurs on campus simultaneously with NMUSD summer school sessions.

In prior years, the planning process between NMUSD and the City had been largely informal. SMART

In prior years, the planning process between NMUSD and the City had been largely informal. SMART Camp has grown in popularity and is now a staple of the Parks and Community Services Department’s summer offerings.

The request to create an official Memorandum of Understanding to formalize responsibilities of each party became a necessity due to the expansive scope of SMART Camp’scomponents in conjunction with staff turnover at the City and NMUSD.

This memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the City and NMUSD largely describes the camp as it has occurred since 2014. City staff have conferred with NMUSD staff on the substance of the agreement and arrived at the current draft in mutual agreement (Attachment 1). This agreement is set to go before the NMUSD School Board on June 13, 2023. The term of the agreement is retroactive to June 12, 2023, the first day of 2023 SMART Camp. The term shall continue for a period of five (5) years, ending on August 20, 2028, and will automatically renew every five (5) years thereafter.

One change that is not specifically stated in the MOU, but was recommended by the City Attorney and Risk Manager, is the implementation of additional liability insurance for the contracted teachers and coaches. This additional policy is being implemented for the current SMART Camp program.

ALTERNATIVES:

City Council may direct staff to continue the planning and operation of SMART Camp with NMUSD on an informal basis.

FISCAL REVIEW:

The SMART Camp program is currently included in the Parks and Community Services Department’s annual operating budget.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City’s Attorney’s Office has reviewed this report and approves it as to form.

CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:

This item supports the following City Council Goal:
· Strengthen the Public’s Safety and Improve the Quality of Life CONCLUSION:

SMART Camp is an exciting and engaging camp experience that provides valuable enrichment opportunities to our youth in the community. The combination of Sports, Music, and Art in one camp has created a well-rounded program that, with the help of NMUSD teachers and coaches, can improve the quality of life here in the City of Costa Mesa.

Therefore, staff recommends the City Council approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and Newport-Mesa Unified School District to provide SMART Camp to Costa Mesa residents and authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the agreement and future amendments to the agreement.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution Number 2023-XX revising the pay ranges for designated classifications represented by the Costa Mesa City Employees Association.

2. Adopt Resolution Number 2023-XX revising the pay ranges for designated classifications represented by the Costa Mesa Division Managers Association.

BACKGROUND:

The Costa Mesa City Employees Association (CMCEA) MOU with the City contains a provision for CMCEA to request up to five compensation inequity studies to be conducted by Human Resources each year. This MOU provision allows for at least five positions in this particular bargaining group to be analyzed by Human Resources to identify whether there is a discrepancy in that position’s compensation relative to the prevailing market.

ANALYSIS:

For the 2022 year (i.e. last year), CMCEA requested the review of the Maintenance Supervisor classification. As part of this review, the Human Resources Division also included a review of the Maintenance Superintendent and Maintenance Services Manager to address compaction and internal alignment.

The market analysis includes an analysis of the average total compensation of comparable classifications in the five cities that border the City of Costa Mesa, as per the City’sstandard practice.

These cities include the cities of Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Santa Ana and Newport Beach. The total compensation for each classification includes: the classifications’base salary, PERS retirement benefit formulas, employee retirement contributions, and City contribution(s) to medical and dental plans or cafeteria plans. This framework is similar to the framework that has
