Title: Third Amendment to Professional Services Agreement with Interwest Consulting Group
Presented by: Brian K. Lee, AICP, Deputy City Manager/Director of Community Development Recommendation: Approve Third Amendment to Professional Services Agreement with Interwest Consulting Group for Specialized Community Development and Planning Services.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:

On July 26, 2022, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement (“Agreement”) with Interwest Consulting Group (“Interwest”) to provide specialized planning and community development consulting services for a term of up to four (4) years. During this time, Interwest has assisted the Community Development Department with the completion of several critical assignments, including the preparation of new development standards, long-range planning assignments to modernize the City’s Zoning Code to comply with State law, the preparation of the City’s 8th Cycle Housing Element, processing of complex development project applications and on-call assignments to support the Department during staffing transitions. As proposed, the City Council will consider an amendment to authorize an extension of the term by one-year and an increase to the not-to-exceed compensation amount by $165,000. Funding for these services is derived primarily through development fees, salary savings and grant funds.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for consultant services is included in the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Operating Budget ($165,000 budgeted under Planning Consulting account 1010-4010-51005, and is offset by development deposit accounts and grants). The compensation limit also provides capacity to provide coverage in the event of a long-term vacancy or staffing transition. In those instances, the Department may utilize salary savings to offset costs for additional services. Compensation to Interwest may also be offset through work assigned to Development projects, for which a development agreement is created for actual services rendered.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 6
Meeting: July 21, 2026
Title: Agreement between the City of Covina and AQMNI LLC for Installation of Murals at the Covina Recreation Village Park (640-680 N Citrus Avenue) Presented by: Brian K. Lee, AICP, Deputy City Manager/Director of Community Development Krystal Smith, Director of Parks & Recreation
Rafael Fajardo, Director of Public Works
Recommendation: That the City Council:

1. Approve the Agreement between the City of Covina and AQMNI LLC in an amount not-to-exceed $205,000.00 for the installation of location branding and wayfinding murals at three exterior locations at Covina Recreation Village;

2. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to authorize related design modifications that may be identified during the mural installation process.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Covina Recreation Village Project represents one of the City’s most significant recent public investments, bringing together expanded and new recreational amenities, a new library center, opportunities for economic development programs, and promoting activity and connectivity to the Covina Metrolink Train Station. To visually unify these distinct elements and make the site more inviting to the public, the City Council is requested to consider the installation of large-scale public art displays/site identification murals along the exterior walls of the gymnasium building.

As proposed, the murals will improve visibility and orientation (viewable from Citrus Avenue and commuter line users), help to establish a cohesive identity for the Recreation Village and promote the park as a local destination and community hub. The Council will consider approving an agreement with AQMNI LLC for the installation of the large-scale exterior murals, for an amount not to exceed $205,000.00. The City continues to pursue external funding sources for these and other facility enhancements at the Recreation Village, including a pending request to Senator Rubio as part of the State’s FY 2027 budget. Given the anticipated completion of construction in late-2026 and the estimated timeline for mural installation, it is prudent to proceed so that these enhancements will be completed prior to opening the facility.

DISCUSSION:

Within the past three years, AQMNI LLC completed three large-scale City-initiated mural installations in the City’s downtown area: “A Tapestry of Time”, “Canine Classics”, and most recent “From Covina, With Love”. The last two murals feature QR codes that the public may scan with their smart phones or tables to access videos and augmented reality features. These recently installed public murals are popular photo opportunity locations for residents and visitors, and have even appeared in recent broadcasting, including Telemundo and KTLA.

The design strategy for Covina Recreation Village mural system is to create a bold visual identity that is highly visible from the street and railway, while celebrating the wide range of recreational amenities offered at the park, including volleyball, basketball, and rock-climbing. Following several meetings with City staff, AQMNI presented a concept designed to convey a bold and energetic character while also providing the necessary site identifying features. The mural program includes three primary mural

sections on the west, south, and east exterior facades of the gymnasium building, totaling approximately 4,984 square feet. The west facing “welcome” mural emphasizes energy and excitement, featuring a basketball player in a moment of celebration. Supporting imagery in the background includes rock climbers, volleyball players, families, and dogs at play. An “orange grove” motif will wrap around and connect to the south façade, which will display a bold “Covina Recreation Village” typography. On the east facing façade, the third mural will continue active recreation scenes depicting athletes in motion. Additional design features include a “torn paper” effect to separate the scenes while also symbolically revealing Covina’s past, including the former “Covina Vitapakt” and the city’s orange groves. The mural program also features three very special appearances by “Citrus”, the Parks and Recreation Mascot.

On July 9, 2026, The City’s Mural Review Committee convened to review the mural design and provide feedback to the proposed design. The Mural Committee approved the proposed design and recommended its approval to the City Council. Following the Council’s consideration, installation will begin in August and will take approximately two months to complete. The agreement and scope of work are included as Attachment A.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The attached resolution would appropriate $205,000.00 from the Measure CC fund to facilitate this task, as shown in the table below. The attached quote for services includes $197,993.60 for labor, paint, wall priming, anti-graffiti coating, supplies, and rental equipment, and a contingency of $7,006.40 (3.4%). The City continues to pursue external funding sources for the procurement of these facility enhancements, including a pending request to Senator Rubio as part of the State’s FY 2027 budget.

Should these funds become available, the Council will be presented with a request to appropriate funds at a later date. In the meantime, given the anticipated completion of construction in late-2026 and the estimated timeline for mural installation, it is prudent to proceed with authorization for the mural project to move forward with the procurement process at this time.

3 Covina Recreation Village is being designed as more than a park or public gathering space. It is a new civic destination centered on sport, recreation, fitness, and community life. This updated mural direction responds to that purpose by shifting the visual language toward something bolder, more athletic, and more immediate. The design places greater emphasis on the facility’s role as an indoor sports complex, using strong color, confident typography, and energetic forms to create a mural system that feels mature, contemporary, and visible from a distance, while still holding onto moments of warmth, local history, and Covina identity.

PURPOSE + INTENTION

INTEGRATING FEEDBAACK
The updated direction places recreation,
athletics, and active programming at the center
of the mural system so the building immediately
reads as a sports and recreation facility.

LEAD WITH SPORT AND MOVEMENT
The palette moves away from softer pastel tones
and toward brighter oranges, yellows, and
heat-of-summer colors that feel more energetic,
confident, and visible from afar.

CREATE A BOLDER VISUAL PRESENCE
The design is intended to appeal across age
groups, from youth and families to adult leagues,
fitness classes, and broader community use.

BROADEN THE AUDIENCE
Each mural supports the specific area it faces
while also helping the full building feel unified,
legible, and easy to navigate.

BALANCE IDENTITY WITH FUNCTION
References to pollinator plants, butterflies, the
Vita-Pakt citrus history, and the surrounding
landscape remain present, but are treated as
accents rather than the main focus.

KEEP NATURE AND HISTORY AS SUPPORTING LAYERS
The goal is to create a mural system that reads boldly from the street while carrying the energy of the programming inside: athletic, welcoming, and distinctly Covina.

AQMNI + THE CITY OF COVINA

4 The updated design uses bold color, large-scale typography, and active visual forms to create a stronger facility identity for Covina Recreation Village. Across the walls, the mural system is designed to feel energetic, contemporary, and unmistakable from a distance.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO.CC 7
Meeting: July 21, 2026
Title: SCADA System Upgrade Improvements Project – Project No. P2705 – Award of Contract to D&H Water Systems, Inc. in the Amount of $223,762.50 Presented by: Rafael M. Fajardo, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Recommendation: Approve award of Equipment Purchase Agreement to D&H Water System, Inc. for SCADA System Upgrade Improvements Project – Project No. P2705 in the amount of $223,762.50 and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/ BACKGROUND:

As part of the City’s Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Capital Improvement Program, the City Council approved a project entitled, “SCADA System Upgrade Improvements Project.” The City’s Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system allows the Department of Public Works to monitor critical operations for both the Water and Sewer Divisions. For the Sewer Division, SCADA continuously monitors sewer pump station operations to prevent sanitary sewer overflows. For the Water Division, SCADA remotely interfaces with the City’s approximately 20-million-gallon capacity water supply system to monitor its security, storage levels, pressures, and critical equipment functions. Additionally, SCADA monitors water quantities, supports chemical dosing operations, assists with water distribution to maintain appropriate reservoir levels, and verifies proper dosing in real time.

The SCADA System Upgrade Improvements Project will consist of the complete modernization of the City’s SCADA system, upgrading the existing platform and consolidating the water and sewer systems into a united platform with individual, separate operations for each Division. In addition to the system upgrade, the project will also include SCADA integration with the Water Division’s Chloramine Boosting System (CBS) which is housed in trailers located at Charter Oak Reservoir and Rancho Simi Reservoir.

CBS technology, coupled with operational treatment, are best management practices (BMPs) for mitigating the symptoms of nitrification. The SCADA System Upgrade Improvements Project will establish SCADA integration with the CBS system and allow for greater monitoring capabilities and expedite personnel response times, if necessary.

Overall, the SCADA system provides continuous, real-time visibility of critical water and wastewater infrastructure, enabling proactive monitoring, operational efficiency, and timely response to changing system conditions. The most recent system upgrades occurred in 2017 and since that time, technology advancements have surpassed the capacity of current system capabilities. As such, the Department of Public Works recommends award of an Equipment Purchase Agreement to D&H Water Systems, Inc. in the amount of $223,762.50 to implement a more modern, responsive and consolidated system that complements both City Water and Sewer operations moving forward.

DISCUSSION:

The City’s existing SCADA system has experienced reliability issues that require weekly system reboots, often necessitating staff response during non-working hours and at unpredictable times.

Additionally, the current system configuration has operational limitations and no longer meets the technological requirements of the City's evolving water and wastewater operations. The City’s current version has limited technical support available and no longer receives security patches or software

updates. To improve system reliability, functionality, and security, the City proposes upgrading the SCADA platform from Ignition 7.6.3 to Ignition 8.3. As such, the project is designed to subsequently consolidate water and sewer operations through the implementation of two dedicated client servers, providing enhanced system performance and operational efficiency.

As part of the upgrade, a new centralized server rack and supporting hardware will be installed to modernize the SCADA infrastructure. The project will also include the deployment of secure field tablets—one for sewer operations and two for water operations—providing authorized personnel with real time mobile access to SCADA data and system controls. These improvements will enhance system reliability, reduce operational disruptions, increase staff responsiveness, and support the City's longterm operational and infrastructure management goals.

Moreover, Covina Municipal Code (CMC) Section 2.20.080 (Bidding - Required - Exceptions), Subsection B, allows procurement by noncompetitive proposals when the services being procured are professional or specialized (as identified within CMC Section 2.20.175). CMC Section 2.20.175 (Purchase - Professional and specialized services) states that these specialized purchases shall be made based on demonstrated competence and expertise of the service provider and professional qualifications needed to carry out the service.

In this case, the City is best served to retain professional services of D&H Water System, Inc. for the SCADA system upgrades and CBS Integration (Attachment A). D&H Water System, Inc. has installed and upgraded all three of the City’s CBS trailers and provided high-level service to the satisfaction of the Public Works Department. D&H Water System, Inc. have a proven track record and thorough knowledge of the City’s facilities, sensors, other equipment, and the requisite data required to upgrade the SCADA system and carry out the integration with the Chloramine Boosting Systems. As such, the Department of Public Works therefore recommends award of an Equipment Purchase Agreement to D&H Water Systems, Inc. in the amount of $223,762.50 (Attachment B).

The new system upgrades will also require new equipment installations at the Public Works Yard SCADA room, including new housing units, desks, electrical upgrades, and equipment upgrades. Thus, the total project budget includes an amount of $20,000 for any necessary office upgrades to accommodate the expanded footprint of the new SCADA System.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Sufficient funding is included in the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget, as approved by City Council on May 5, 2026 and shown below:

ATTACHMENT A
603 Seagaze Drive #241, Oceanside, CA 92054 | (760) 722-6893 | www.dandhwatersystems.com City of Covina Scada System Upgrade and CBS Integration The scope of work includes and is limited to a complete modernization of the City of Covina’s SCADA system, upgrading the existing Ignition platform from version 7.6.3 to Ignition 8.3 and consolidating the water and sewer systems into a single unified platform with dedicated operational environments for each. The project will include the creation of two servers to provide full redundancy with the backup server functioning as the system historian data base. A new centralized server rack will be designed and built to house all primary and redundant servers, including a UPS for backup power. The project also provides two Apple iPad Pro 13 field tablets for Water and one Apple iPad Pro 13 field tablet for Sewer for secure, mobile SCADA access to enhance real-time visibility and operational responsiveness.

A key component of this upgrade involves designing and integrating new SCADA screens for the City’s three existing D&H Water Systems Chloramine Boosting Systems. Joe Castro, D&H’s lead SCADA engineer, will serve as the project’s primary designer and programmer. Joe originally developed the system logic and designed the control panel for the Chloramine Boosting System (CBS) in 2011 and has been instrumental in every update and product enhancement from 2011 to the present. He also created all HMI screens used in the CBS units, making him the only qualified individual capable of accurately recreating these interfaces within the City’s upgraded Ignition platform while ensuring full read/write capability that mirrors the field HMIs. His deep involvement in the CBS technology and long-standing familiarity with Covina’s existing systems uniquely positions him to deliver precise, reliable, and efficient SCADA integration.

Joe brings 28 years of automation and controls engineering experience in the municipal water and sewer industry, including extensive work in SCADA design, HMI/PLC programming, electrical design, networking, and system startup. His hands-on expertise in water treatment, chloramine boosting, chemical injection, and SCADA system implementation ensures that the upgraded platform will meet the City’s operational needs with improved visibility, reliability, and long-term supportability. As part of this scope, a comprehensive Operations & Maintenance manual will be provided along with five days of on-site startup and commissioning services to ensure a smooth and seamless transition from the legacy system to the fully modernized SCADA environment.

CC Regular Meeting

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 8
Meeting: July 21, 2026
Title: Amendments to Compensation Rules
Presented by: Joanna Espinosa, Human Resources Manager
Recommendation: That City Council approve the revised Salary Schedules for Mid-Management, Supervisory and Professional, and Confidential and Technical; and revised Executive Compensation Rules and Salary Schedules.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On June 16, 2026, the City Council approved Resolutions CC 2026-58 and CC 2026-59, to adopt amendments to the Mid-Management, Supervisory and Professional, and Confidential and Technical (Unaffiliated) Compensation Rules and Executive Compensation Rules on new terms for employee wages and benefits. Following approval, clerical discrepancies were identified in the document. In order to implement the competitive bargaining agreements that were negotiated in good faith and agreed upon with each bargaining group, it is appropriate to adopt the proposed revisions.

DISCUSSION:

Completed Survey Studies
The City regularly evaluates job classifications, responsibilities and rates of pay to ensure that it stays competitive in the labor marketplace. As a general policy goal, the City strives to compensate its staff members at the 60th percentile of market.Based on the recently completed total compensation analysis, it was determined that market adjustments are necessary for certain classifications to remain competitive in the labor market. As such, the following revisions are recommended for the City Council’s consideration.

Based on a review of market comparison of salaries and benefits, it was determined that certain classifications were below the 60th percentile of the labor market and that market adjustments are necessary to remain competitive. The comparison labor market is generally described as 7-8 agencies that are in close proximity to Covina or those that provide a comparable range of municipal services. The agencies typically used in a market comparison include the cities of Arcadia, Azusa, Baldwin Park, Claremont, Glendora, Monrovia, Pomona and West Covina.

The City met/conferred with each bargaining unit and they have tentatively agreed to the market adjustments necessary to remain competitive and be within the 60th and 65th percentile of the labor market. Adjustments include salary, deferred compensation and/or longevity pay and/or education pay. The proposed changes were adopted by the City Council on June 16, 2026 and reflected in side letter agreements with the Police Association of Covina, Police Supervisory Group, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Police Management Group, MidManagement, Supervisory and Professional, and Confidential and Technical (“Unaffiliated”) Group and the Executive Employees Group.

In order to accurately reflect the items that were negotiated in good faith and agreed upon with employee groups, it is appropriate to adopt the revised compensation rules and salary schedules for the Unaffiliated and Executive groups. These changes reflect that three classifications will receive

the same salary/benefit increases afforded to all City employees, including a cost of living increase of 3% per year, adjustments to health insurance benefits and/or deferred compensation and/or longevity pay and/or education pay.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost for these benefits is included in the City’s Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget and there is no additional fiscal impact.

CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):

Not applicable.
