Appendix ‘M’

POLICIES FOR MANAGING AVAILABLE SEWER CAPACITY

INTRODUCTION
In 2019, the City serves the wastewater disposal needs of approximately 47,796 people. The community sewers receive and convey approximately 7.3 mgd (million gallons per day) of wastewater to regional CSD trunk sewers and wastewater treatment plants and some is also delivered through the adjacent City of West Covina sewer system.

The purpose of this document is to describe the policies and practices followed by the City in tracking and determining the remaining available capacity within its sanitary sewer system.

Tracking (monitoring) is necessary because of the significant lead time required for accomplishing such improvements as sewer rehabilitation or facility expansion without overloading sewage facilities. The objective is to enable the City to:
• Become more aware of how the sewer facilities are performing in order to take steps necessary to avoid (prevent) a SSO or nuisance problem due to operations. • Provide all local decision makers with information needed to make informed decisions about the capacity of the wastewater system and its ability to accommodate new or increased connections.
• Make commitments for new or upsized connections with confidence that there is adequate capacity to serve additional demand as well as existing customers. • Determine when the issuance of additional building/connection permits must be curtailed until sewer facility improvements are completed so that facilities are maintained in compliance with discharge permit criteria.
• Have more lead time to plan and arrange financing for needed sewer system upgrades.

LEGAL MANDATE TO MANAGE WASTEWATER ALLOCATIONS
Local sewering entities have a crucial role in providing safe and adequate wastewater systems and high quality operational performance. These local entities face many challenges to maintain and operate their systems in compliance with Federal and State laws and regulations. Cost continues to increase to keep these increasingly complex facilities operating properly, and the ability to raise rates to keep pace with costs is also regulated and challenging.

Perhaps most challenging is the need to manage the allocation of flow for new or expanding customer discharges in conformance with local land use, water and sewage plans, and the

Page 808 of 1383 ends

Appendix ‘M’
NPDES and local permit limits. The agency responsible for issuing building/development approvals and permits must ensure adequate capacity is or will be reasonably available without impairing water quality or threatening public health and safety.

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN TO MANAGE AVAILABLE SEWER CAPACITY
Sewering entities are expected to manage their wastewater collection system capacities responsibly and to ensure the systems function within design capacity. In order to accomplish these expectations, it is necessary to implement a planning and engineering tool used to monitor the relationship between sewer facility capacity and population/economic growth while complying with statutes and regulations relative to discharges. Such tool could be a Municipal Sewage Capacity Plan/Report (MSCP/R).

A MSRCP/R would contain information on sewage system capacity including demand created by both existing and proposed development. To ensure accuracy of such report will require the City to: monitor flows, track existing capacity utilization, evaluate the need for additional capacity, identify deficiencies, take proactive corrective steps to maintain system capacity, and to undertake orderly and timely funding and planning of projects to maintain or improve the system capacity. These actions for a successful monitoring and reporting tool will be accomplished through the application of the following policies:

1. Develop a perpetual 10-year capital improvement program that:
a. Includes pro-active sanitary sewer system improvements to correct and prevent system failures and overflows,
b. Provides sewer capacity in a timely manner to accommodate system expansion, redevelopment and rehabilitation,
c. Incorporates monitoring, inspecting and demand findings compiled during routine operation and management of the system,
d. Maintains level of service standards that are desired and acceptable to the community and regulators,
e. Addresses current and reasonably anticipated regulatory requirements.

2. Actively manage the sanitary sewer conveyance system through a data collection and analysis process that determines wastewater usage by development type, projects future demand, and identifies inflow/infiltration deficiencies.

3. Issue development approvals based upon available capacity of the sanitary sewer system.

Page 809 of 1383 ends

Appendix ‘M’

4. Implement work process and data management systems improvements for sewer service management, operation, and maintenance that comply with WDR regulations and result in more effective and efficient sewer service.

5. Abate storm water inflow and groundwater infiltration to maintain capacity for sewer service and minimize service costs.

6. Expand the production and annual average use of recycled water to reduce the cost and environmental risk of effluent disposal and reduce reliance upon potable water sources.

7. Implement a complete asset management program for sustaining the sewer infrastructure through optimized service levels, managed risks, and minimized life-cycle costs of asset ownership.

8. Develop and distribute program information (documents) that defines and communicates policies, procedures, responsibilities and performance measures for work process improvements and encourages all system users to respect and comply with the community wastewater collection system program.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 8
Meeting: July 15, 2025
Title: Increase 2024-25 Budgeted Appropriations for Public Liability Fund Presented by: Joanna Espinosa, Human Resources Manager
Recommendation: Adopt Resolution CC 2025-89, Amending the 2024-25 Operating Budget Appropriating $715,000 from the Public Liabilities Fund (7370) Fund Balance for Legal Services, Liability Claims and Other Related Expenses
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City has an established internal service fund to pay for public liability expenditures which receives revenue from each City department based on a formulaic calculation. Through the budget process, estimated expenditures are appropriated through historical analysis and anticipated needs. It is recommended that the City Council increase budgeted appropriations in the Public Liability Fund, as the City has experienced unanticipated increased expenditures in Fiscal Year 2024-25 resulting from an increase in claims involving extended other professional fees and legal counsel expenses. Of note, it is anticipated that the City’s third-party insurer will process a reimbursement to the City for roughly $400,000 of the recommended appropriation amount in the next forty-five days.

DISCUSSION:

Over the past year, the City has experienced an unexpected increase in liability claims. These claims have resulted in additional expenditures, including costs associated with engaging technical experts such as medical professionals, legal counsel, and administrative expenses related to claim processing and resolution. The proposed budget appropriation will ensure that the Fund continues to meet related obligations.

It is recommended that the City Council approve a $715,000 appropriation from the Public Liability Fund balance as a result of the increased expenditures for Fiscal Year 2024-25. A review of the Fund’s reserve shows that it is adequate to accommodate this transfer to appropriately fund public liability needs.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This appropriation from Public Liability Fund balance would increase Fiscal Year 2024-25 budgeted expenditures as follows:

The Public Liability Fund has adequate fund balance for this appropriation.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

As part of the City’s Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Capital Improvement Program, the City Council approved a project entitled “Cypress Street Water Main Replacement Project – Design,” which consists of the removal and replacement of approximately 4,300 linear feet of an existing 12-inch water main line, water services, hydrants and other appurtenances.

DISCUSSION:

The water main located along Cypress Avenue was originally installed in the early 1950’s and has subsequently reached the end of its useful life as it has experienced several, frequent leaks in recent months. Replacement of this water main, between Citrus Avenue and Elspeth Way, will include new water service lines, isolation valves and fire hydrants and ultimately will provide safe, clean, and reliable water service to the community for many years to come.

An Informal Request for Proposals (RFP) was sent to three of the City’s approved on-call consultant firms for design services. In response to the RFP, two proposals were received with the following results:

Rank Consultant Location Cost
1 EC + Associates Engineering, Inc. Downey, CA $75,000
2 CEJ Engineers, Inc. Walnut, CA $87,500
3 Willdan Engineering City of Industry, CA No response
City staff reviewed all proposals submitted on behalf of the Cypress Water Main Replacement Project and recommends award of a professional services agreement to EC + Associates Engineering, Inc. for project design services as a result of successful completion of similar projects for other municipalities and utility agencies.

FISCAL IMPACT:

A total funding amount of $100,000 has been allocated from the Water CIP fund in the City’s approved Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Capital Improvement Program Budget for design services.

Fund Amount Account No.

Water CIP $100,000 6011-5060-51005

Any significant changes in configuration data cited under “Scope of Work” will cause the fee to be adjusted proportionately, as mutually agreed upon between the Client and Engineer.

Client agrees that any work resulting from changes to the plans made after the date indicated on ”Services Offered” shall be deemed extra work and shall be paid by Client according to Engineer’s standard fee schedule.

The fee quoted under ”Services Offered” does not include any fees to be paid to the city and to any other professionals, such as a surveyor, soil engineer and any other city or county department’s clearances, public hearings, expediting, etc. Time spent on these services will be charged extra, if needed.

Site improvements outside the structure, checking shop drawings by others, steel stair design, temporary shoring and designing field changes are not included in the fee quoted on ”Services Offered”, but can be requested by owner or agent to be additionally provided at the applicable hourly rate indicated in the Standard fee schedule below.

As-built information of all existing elements shall be provided by the client prior to commencing the design.

The flat fee of this agreement does not include any cost or time to be spent to obtain such information.

If Client needs services beyond the scope of this contract, Engineer may require further written authorization from Client to carry out additional work either in form of a signed Request for Additional Engineering or as an additional Proposal and Contract for engineering services.

Client may terminate the Agreement at any time by sending a written notice to the Engineer. Client is responsible to pay for all work performed until the time of termination or the total balance remaining on the project, whichever is smaller. The value of work hours is calculated using Engineer’s standard fee schedule.

In addition, Client is required to pay for any out-of-pocket and reimbursable expenses spent on the project.

All such payments become due at the time of the termination.

Standard Fee Schedule
Principal $275.00 per hour
Project Engineer $175.00 per hour
Design Draftsmen $100.00 per hour
Office Administrator $ 40.00 per hour

Engineer shall not release plans without receipt of second payment. Client agrees to pay a late fee computed at 10% premium on any unpaid balance, unpaid 30 days after the date of Engineer's original invoice. The fee is due and payable whenever plans and calculations are ready for first submission, whether or not the Client applied for, or received, a building permit. Engineering includes minimum code requirements, detailing and specifications necessary to pass governmental review and to obtain a building permit only. If changes to the original plans are necessary due to requirements of the Building and Safety, inspector, contractor, or the design professionals prior to construction, causing an increase in the construction budget, these changes shall not be treated as damages, but rather as value added items, which would have increased the construction cost if they were included in the original plans. Client relieves Eduardo J. Carrillo personally and EC And Associates Engineering, Inc. as a company, for any and all responsibilities and liabilities associated with architectural services in connection with the project mentioned above, even if Eduardo J. Carrillo’s engineering stamp and signature may appear on the plans. Eduardo J.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 12
Meeting: July 15, 2025
Title: Request for Approval of an Additional Full-Time Information Technology Technician Position
Presented by: Angel Carrillo, Deputy City Manager
Dr. Shawn Granger, Information Technology Manager
Recommendation: That the City Council adopt Resolution CC 2025-91 to Approve an Additional Full-Time Information Technology Technician Position.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The increasing complexity and volume of information technology (IT) demands have significantly outstripped our current staffing capabilities. To ensure adequate support throughout the entire week, including adequate coverage on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday when departments such as the Library, Public Works, Parks & Recreation, and Police Department are operational, additional IT personnel are required. The proposed addition of a full-time IT Technician is essential to fulfilling enhanced service obligations and maintaining efficient operations in technology-driven projects. This role is pivotal in reducing response times, enhancing support services, and adapting to the evolving IT landscape within the city’s operations. Detailed job specifications and salary schedules are attached to Resolution CC 2025-91 as Exhibit A hereto. As proposed, funding for this position will come from sources outside of the general fund, including the City’s Information Technology Service Fund, Water Fund and Sewer Fund.

BACKGROUND:

Currently, our IT staff includes one IT Technician under the direction of the IT Manager covering the hours from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Thursday. The escalating workload and advancing technology demands affecting all departments have surged due to many infrastructure projects, along with the preparatory work for the opening of the new Covina Recreation Center, upgrading the entire desktop fleet, increased digitalization and new public safety systems. The onsite IT support is limited due to resources, which adversely impacts service quality and response efficiency. Increasing this position is necessary to align with findings indicating a need to strengthen IT support, thereby facilitating operational efficiencies and improving management of the City's digital infrastructure. This additional position will allow a more flexible weekend coverage when a significant number of City staff are working.

DISCUSSION:

By adding a new IT Technician role, the City aims to enhance its capacity to support internal clients' needs expeditiously and robustly. The extra on-site support allows for increased coverage throughout the week and provide our staff solutions which enable better services to our community. This move will also support coverage during vacations and sick time within the IT department so there aren’t the service gaps.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for personnel Information Technology Technician position will be funded by the IT fund and sources outside of the general fund, including enterprise funds. The cost to implement these recommended changes is $80,000.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 13
Meeting: July 15, 2025
Title: Temporary Community Support Program
Presented by: Chris Marcarello, City Manager
Recommendation: That the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into temporary partnerships with the listed non-profit organizations to provide free/low-cost supportive services to Covinabased families and individuals impacted by federal immigration enforcement activities.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Recent Federal immigration enforcement activities have heightened tensions in the community and the greater Los Angeles region. These activities have created noticeable impacts to the quality of life within our community and have disrupted many individuals’ social and economic practices due to a fear of being targeted by federal immigration enforcement personnel.

As a community that celebrates its diverse resident population, the Covina City Council and Police Department remain committed to the well-being of all Covina residents. As such, members of the City Council recently expressed an interest in establishing temporary supportive services for local households that have been impacted by federal immigration enforcement activities. As proposed, the City Council will consider authorizing partnerships with local non-profit organizations to provide resources to such households, including basic needs (food, water, utility bill assistance), case management services and supportive legal services, among others.

Additionally, the City has developed a draft Community Resources webpage to better connect Covina-based individuals with access to services relating immigration enforcement activities.

DISCUSSION:

Last month, communities in Southern California began to observe an increase in federal immigration enforcement activities at public areas, workplaces, schools and places of commerce. While the City and its Police Department do not participate in immigration enforcement activities or inquire about the immigration status of individuals, it is apparent that the tactics used by Federal enforcement personnel have created instability for many members of the general public.

In response to these enforcement activities, members of the community mobilized in mid-June to express their objections via peaceful protest. To support these efforts, members of the Covina City Council and the Police Department communicated with organizers in advance of scheduled events to help ensure the safety of protestors, residents and businesses.

More recently, members of the City Council inquired regarding supportive services that could be offered to households and families that have been impacted by federal immigration enforcement activities. As proposed, a supportive resource network would be created in partnership with specialized non-profit agencies that have expertise in case management services, basic needs services and supportive legal services.
