STAFF REPORT
Date: November 19, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager/Executive Director
By: Richard Iglesias, City Clerk
Subject: Consideration to Review and Approve the Draft Minutes of October 29, 2024, for the Special Meeting of the City Council and the Joint Meeting of the City of Cudahy as Successor Agency and Housing Successor Agency to the Cudahy Development Commission

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to review and approve the City Council / Successor Agency Draft Minutes for October 29, 2024.

BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
On December 12, 2016, the City Council of the City of Cudahy adopted Resolution No. 16-38, approving the use of summary action minutes, meant to allow the City Clerk's Office to write the minutes in brief, assuring a record of Council's actions, due to having a recording of the full Council Meeting on the City’s website.

Historically
The Municipal Clerk is one of the oldest professions in government, dating back to 1272 A.D., originating in England. The record keeper then was called Remembrancer, an English official whose job was to remind the Lord Treasurer and Barons of Court, of business pending.

Years later, in the 1600s, when early colonists came to America, the office of the Clerk was one of the first offices to be established. Over the years, the City Clerk’s office has become the core for local government, and the liaison to the residents of the Community. The Municipal Item Number
12A

“Serving the People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
11/19/2024 Page 2 of 2
Clerk (City Clerk) is the record keeper of a City’s recorded history.

William Bennett Munro, a Canadian historian, and political scientist, who taught at Harvard University and the California Institute of Technology, stated in one of his first textbooks written: “No other office in municipal service has so many contacts. It serves the Mayor, the City Council, the City Manager (when there is one), and all administrative departments, without exception. All of them call upon it, almost daily, for some service or information. Its work is not spectacular, but it demands versatility, alertness, accuracy, and no end of patience.

The public does not realize how many loose ends of city administration this office pulls together.”
Moving forward to the present time, the City Clerk’s office today is generally responsible for keeping a record of City Council meetings; agreements; recordings of official documents; legal advertisements; municipal elections; commissions and committees current files; claims against the city; and other legal or official documents.

City Clerks are required to keep record of the proceedings (minutes) of Council meetings (Government Code Sections 36814 and 40801). Minutes are the official record of a meeting which provides a history of the Council’s decisions and actions.

CONCLUSION
The City Council is requested to approve the attached City Council / Agency Draft Minutes of the proceedings of October 29, 2024.

STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
No correlation to the strategic plan.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

STAFF REPORT
Date: November 19, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager/Executive Director By: Estefania Zamora, Assistant City Clerk
Subject: Consideration to Adopt Resolution No. 24-36 Amending the City’s Conflict of Interest Code and Repealing Resolution No. 22-67 In Accordance with the Political Reform Act

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to adopt Resolution No. 24-36 amending the City’s Conflict of Interest Code (“COI”) and repealing Resolution No. 22-67 in accordance with the Political Reform Act.

BACKGROUND

1. On December 6, 2022, the city adopted Resolution No. 22-67 Amending the City's Conflict of Interest Code and Repealing Resolution No. 20- 39 in Accordance with the Political Reform Act

2. On September 17, 2024, the City Council approved staff’s recommendation to amend the 2024 Conflict of Interest Code. A review of the COI had been conducted and determined that an amendment is required to include new positions, revise the titles of existing positions, and delete positions that have been eliminated.

ANALYSIS
The Political Reform Act of 1974, Government Code Section 81000 et seq. (the “Act”), mandates that all public agencies adopt and maintain a Conflict of Interest Code. This Conflict of Interest Code identifies positions within the City that make, or participate in the making of, governmental decisions that could have a material financial impact on any financial interest. It also outlines the financial interests that public officials, employees, and consultants must disclose on their Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700).

Item Number
12B

Page 13 of 186 ends

“Serving The People "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
11/19/2024 Page 2 of 2

Additionally, the Act requires every local government agency to review its Conflict of Interest Code every two years to ensure that it remains up-to-date and, if necessary, amend it.

CONCLUSION
City staff recommends adopting Resolution No. 24-36 to ensure compliance with the Fair Political Practices Commission's (FPPC) requirement of the Conflict of Interest Code.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There are no financial impacts anticipated by this requested action.

STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
There is no strategic plan correlation.

STAFF REPORT
Date: November 19, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager/Executive Director
By: Joshua Calhoun, Finance Director
Subject: Approval of the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) for the Month of October 2024

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to approve the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) Report for the month of October 2024 in the amount of $11,156,151.16.

BACKGROUND

1. In 1955, the Pooled Money Investment Account (PMIA) started. LAIF became part of the PMIA. The oversight is provided by the Pooled Money Investment Board (PMIB) and an inhouse Investment Committee. The PMIB members consist of the State Treasurer, Director of Finance, and State Controller.

2. In 1977, LAIF was created as a voluntary program by Section 16429.1 et seq. of the California Government Code. The program was intended to be used as an investment alternative for California's local governments and special districts. The LAIF continues today under State Treasurer, Fiona Ma's administration.

3. On October 1, 2024, the balance in LAIF was $12,009,745.74 (See Attachment).

4. In October 2024, $146,405.42 in interest was received for the 3nd quarter of 2024.

5. In October 2024, $1,000,000.00 was transferred to the City’s Deposit Account.

6. On October 31, 2024, the balance in LAIF was $11,156,151.16 (See Attachment).

ANALYSIS
The voluntary program offers local agencies the opportunity to participate in a major portfolio, which invests hundreds of millions of dollars, using the investment expertise of the State Treasurer’s Office investment staff at no additional cost to the taxpayer.

All securities are purchased under the authority of Government Code Section 16430 and 16480.4. The State Treasurer's Office takes delivery of all securities purchased on a delivery versus payment basis using a third-party custodian.

Cudahy Municipal Code Section 3.04.080 indicates, "Except as otherwise provided, no warrant shall be drawn or evidence of indebtedness issued unless there shall be at the time sufficient money in the treasury legally applicable to the payment of the same."

CONCLUSION
Once the City Council approves the current LAIF, this balance may be relied upon when determining if the City has sufficient funds available to pay demands and payroll as required by Cudahy Municipal Code Section 3.04.080.

STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
Strategy #2. Provide regular updates to the City Council and community about the city’s finances.

STAFF REPORT
Date: November 19, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager/Executive Director
By: Johncito “John” Peraza, Assistant to the City Manager Subject: Republic Services Proposal for SB1383 Amendment Implementation and Compliance

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to select either Proposal 2 or Proposal 3 submitted by Republic Services for the implementation and compliance of SB1383.

BACKGROUND
As of January 1, 2022, all residents and businesses in California are required to recycle food and yard waste. Acceptable materials include food waste, green waste, landscape and pruning waste, non-hazardous wood waste and food-soiled paper products.

SB1383 requires local governmental agencies to provide organic waste services within its jurisdiction. Organic waste includes food, green material, landscape, prunings, lumber, wood, paper products, printing and writing paper. The City of Cudahy contracts with Republic Services for recycling and trash hauling services.

Effective July 1, 2024, SB1383 requires local governmental agencies to begin enforcing the said regulations. The regulations aim to divert 75% of organic waste from landfills and a 20% increase in edible food recovery by January 1, 2025.

The City of Cudahy is currently non-compliant with the regulations set forth by SB1383. The City has been in ongoing discussions with Republic Services since November 2023 to discuss a contract amendment for SB1383 implementation and compliance services.

ANALYSIS
The City of Cudahy is currently non-compliant with SB1383. CalRecycle has informed the city that findings of it implementation audit are to be expected to be released by December 1, 2024.

Republic Services has provided the city with three potential options to consider as follows to implement service for organic waste in the city. “Term” to be defined as the tenure of the existing agreement with Republic Services.
• Proposal 1: Term Remains the same
o Residential Year 1 will start at $32.92 per month. Commercial Year 1 will start at $463.53 per month. No changes will be made to the city’s existing agreement with Republic Services and will keep the annual increase tied to the Consumer Price Index for regional and disposal levels.
• Proposal 2: Term Remains the same
o Residential Year 1 will start at $29.93 per month and see an increase to $32.92 in the second year. Commercial Year 2 will start at $421.39 and see an increase to $463.53 in the second year. The annual increase will be tied to the Consumer Price Index related to Water, Sewer and Trash levels.
• Proposal 3: Term extension of three years
o Residential Year 1 will start at $29.93, $31.40 in the second year and $32.92 in the third year. Commercial Year 1 will start at $421.39, $442.04 in the second year and $463.53 in the third year. The annual increase will be tied to the Consumer Price Index related to Water, Sewer and Trash levels. This option extends the existing term by three years.

On August 20, 2024, the City Council selected Proposals 2 and 3 for further review. The Council directed City Staff to return to a future meeting with additional information on these proposals from Republic Services. This report should include a detailed breakdown of cost increases and

their accuracy, an overview of education and outreach efforts conducted, the number of waivers collected, how many multi-family units could accommodate an additional bin, the number of commercial units (including multi-family and mobile home parks) in Cudahy, and the potential effects of SB 1383 on these units.

The City contracted Ugarte and Associates LLC to conduct SB1383 implementation outreach and waiver canvassing to the business community and multi-family properties. The services were provided during the term of the contract being September 26, 2024 – November 4, 2024, following a fourteen (14) days extension authorized by City Manager on October 21, 2024. The communications firm conducted an outreach campaign that included text messaging, phone banking, and conducting door-to-door visits. CalRecycle advised that waiver requests forms must be requested by the property owners. The outreach conducted placed an emphasis on property owners in sharing the effects of SB1383 and simultaneously offering assistance with submitting a waiver request form to the City for review.

Businesses and properties targeted for outreach were contacted three times. Ugarte and Associates LLC reached out 150 business properties and 200 multi-family (4+ units) properties. 100 business or property owners expressed an interest in applying for a waiver. 15 applications have been submitted to the City for review. Based on guidelines provided by CalRecycle, Republic Services will review if submitted waiver request forms meet the criteria for a de minimums, space constraint or third-party hauling waiver.

CONCLUSION
Recommending that the City Council select either Proposal 2 or Proposal 3 submitted by Republic Services for the implementation and compliance of SB1383.

STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION

Goal D: Financial Stability and Transparency

2. Provide regular updates to the City Council and community about the City’s finances.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There will be no current impact to the City’s General Fund. Based on the final decision of the City Council of the above options, contract amendments will be prepared. The updated rates will be sent to the customers to pay via Republic Services for the cost of implementation of SB 1383.

Executive Summary
Republic Services is the national leader
in environmental services. We currently
partner with more than 2,000
municipalities to deliver essential
services while making meaningful
progress toward your climate action
plans.

Customer Care
Republic Services is so much more than a
traditional hauler of municipal recycling and
waste. By offering differentiated products,
services and experiences to meet our
customers’ wants and needs, we drive
customer loyalty and satisfaction. We
continue to invest in and enhance our
customer-facing technology. We also use
our RISE platform for visibility into our
dispatch and collection operations. This
technology equips our dispatchers with realtime routing information and enhanced data visualization tools. RISE has significantly
increased connectivity with our customers,
offering them the ability to “Track My Truck”
— which further improves productivity and
transforms our overall operations.

We know our customers care about
recycling, and they have demonstrated a
willingness to pay for it. We work with our
municipal partners in transforming recycling
into a more durable, economically
sustainable business model. Recycling is
essential to our sustainability platform, and
we continue to invest in it for the long term.

Most evident is our innovation and
investment to develop the nation’s first
polymer and Blue Polymer centers, which
deliver the production-quality plastic
polymers and olefins to enable true plastic
circularity, with capacity to cover all of our
operations in North America.

Local Leadership with National
Support
Our local team is vital to the continued
successful delivery of this contract and its
daily operations. This team’s unique
combination of experience ensures quality
service for the duration of the contract. Our
local and area management teams have
extensive experience operating and
managing waste companies, and they have
longevity in the region. Because of this, we
are proactive in anticipating customers’
needs and adjusting to market changes. We
also implement best practices to continue
improving our operations and customer
service.

While our local business operation teams are
fully empowered and accountable for
delivering on our commitments, they are
also backed by the support and breadth of
our area and corporate leadership teams.

Together these teams are capable of
amassing expertise and support to respond
to any challenge, even during times of crisis
such as COVID-19 and natural disasters. In
times like this, our area and corporate
teams activate to ensure our people are safe
and assets are operational so we can quickly
return to normal operations. This is a
considerable benefit and risk mitigation to
Cudahy, CA that many other providers in
the industry are unable match.

Sustainability
The breadth and scope of our sustainability
platform is earning noteworthy recognition.

Our safety program leads the industry. Our
fleet is reducing its carbon impact. And our
landfills generate renewable energy.

We are Sustainability in Action™. We are
guardians of our environment and shoulder
the responsibility of protecting it. We lead
by example, working diligently to decrease
our vehicle emissions, create innovative
landfill technologies, generate and use
renewable energy, and cultivate community
engagement and employee growth
opportunities. We are privileged to serve
millions of customers nationwide.

Republic Services’ multifaceted sustainability
platform revolves around four elements:

Safety, Talent, Climate Leadership and
Communities. These elements form the
foundation of our 2030 Sustainability Goals.

Safety
We prioritize safety above all else. When
people feel safe, they can fully participate in
the daily opportunities available to them.

Republic Services has a consistently low
occurrence of incidents and accidents. We’re
known for our strict focus on safety and
corresponding best-in-industry, multifaceted and well-organized safety program.

We have a 33% better safety performance
than the industry average for the last 10
years based on OSHA recordable data.

Employees, the public and rate payers all
benefit from our dedication to safety. We
have been and will continue striving to be
the safest waste services company in North
America.

Figure 4. Our 2030 Sustainability Goals encompass Safety, Talent, Communities and Climate Leadership.

Talent
Engaged employees are the greatest
indicator of our success. We provide ongoing
job training, growth and development
opportunities for our employees at every
level. We are invested in them and look for
meaningful ways to demonstrate our
appreciation for the hard work and
dedication they show every day. Our
inclusion and diversity efforts help to ensure
everyone can bring their best selves to work
each day.

Republic Services’ local offices are staffed
with a team of nearly 200 professionals who
take personal responsibility for serving
customers with care. We are an industry
leader with a national network, decades of
experience, diversified capabilities and
expertise serving clients of all sizes —
including, proudly, Cudahy, CA.

Climate Leadership
In 2017, Republic Services announced its
Sustainability Platform, and from it, our
2030 Sustainability Goals were born. These
ambitious goals help us do best by our
environment, keep us accountable to
responsible disposal and benchmark our
successes.

Communities
We are dedicated to being a good neighbor
in the communities where we live and work.

This includes investing in customer
engagement, philanthropic giving,
volunteerism, environmentally responsible
infrastructure, and operating in our markets
at the highest standards.

Republic Services’ community engagement
plan is based on the needs of communitybased organizations and civic and business entities in Cudahy, CA. We have a track
record of giving to and spending in Cudahy,
CA.

Sustainability as a Platform
for Growth
Our sustainability efforts include major
investments in our planet’s future. We
actively innovate and drive the industry in
new directions, which will ultimately
transform the ways in which recyclable
materials achieve circularity. We are also
dramatically reducing emissions attributed
to landfills and fleet vehicles. Four relevant
examples of our effort and leadership are
outlined below and directly relate to our
third-party recognition and awards.

Renewable Energy
Our landfills safely and responsibly handle
our customers’ waste. These sites also
provide a lesser-known benefit: renewable
energy production.

When organic waste breaks down in a
landfill, the natural process creates biogas,
which largely consists of methane. We
capture this gas though collection systems
and, for many years, have utilized it to
generate energy. Our legacy landfill gas-toenergy (LFGTE) projects produce electricity for the public utility grid.

Today, demand for renewable energy is
driven by efforts to decarbonize and reduce
emissions, so our focus has shifted to
producing renewable natural gas (RNG).

RNG can be used for a variety of
applications to displace conventional gas
from fossil fuels. As a transportation fuel,
RNG can reduce emissions up to 70%, which
has made it highly valued in the
marketplace.

To help meet this rapidly growing demand,
we recently announced a joint venture with
bp to develop 40 landfill RNG projects across
the U.S. This venture is the nation’s largest
RNG portfolio build-out to date, offering
both environmental and economic
sustainability.

Once fully operational, these projects are
expected to generate approximately 12.5
million MMBtu of RNG annually — equivalent
to the average annual natural gas usage of
nearly 200,000 residential customers in the
United States. We are already engaged in 68
LFGTE projects around the country, and
these additional deployments give us scale
to make a significant, direct climate impact.

Once all 40 projects are operational in 2027,
we anticipate capturing and beneficially
reusing 70% of our total landfill gas and
making significant progress toward our
Renewable Energy goal.

Polymer Centers/Blue Polymer
Plastics circularity has traditionally been a
challenge in the recycling industry. While
many people do their best to recycle, the
lifecycle potential of different recycled
materials is not broadly understood. While
an aluminum can is generally recycled back
into a new can, a water bottle or detergent
jug is more likely to be remade into
products such as textiles, carpet or
construction pipe instead of a new bottle or
jug. These “downcycled” products have few
options for further recycling, so their
lifecycle tends to be finite — not circular.

But demand is growing for recycled plastics
that can be reused in consumer packaging,
and the current supply is not keeping up.

Republic Services wants to keep plastic
packaging in the circular economy.

We have an innovative solution: the
Republic Services Polymer Center, the
nation’s first integrated plastics recycling
facility. The facility is designed to directly
address increasing demand from consumer
brands and packaging manufacturers for
recycled plastic, driving value for recovered
resins and enabling greater circularity.

Our first Polymer Center in Las Vegas
processes plastics from Republic Services’
recycling facilities. More centers are
planned.

Republic Services has entered into a joint
venture with Ravago, a leader in polymer
recycling and distribution, to create Blue
Polymers, a partnership to advance
circularity in the plastics industry. The new
facilities will utilize recycled polyethylene
and polypropylene from Republic Services’
Polymer Centers to create high-quality,
recycled resin for consumer packaging and
other applications. The process will convert
high-density polyethylene and polypropylene
into fully formulated products for use in both
food-grade and non-food-grade sustainable
applications.

Figure 5. Recognition supports our approach. Engaged employees and leadership make Republic Services an employer of choice.

Environmental Services
In May 2022, Republic Services acquired US
Ecology, a leading provider of environmental
solutions offering treatment, recycling and
disposal of hazardous, non-hazardous and
special waste.

This acquisition allows us to provide
customers with the most complete set of
environmental services in the industry.

US Ecology adds a national platform of
difficult-to-replicate assets and talent to
Republic Services, including: nine specialty
waste landfills with five hazardous waste
landfills; 16 RCRA-permitted treatment,
storage and disposal facilities (TSDFs);
seven wastewater treatment facilities; and
more than 100 environmental services field
locations.

Customers with multiple recycling and waste
service needs value the ability to consolidate
services with a single partner that has a
successful track record of safety, compliance
and environmental responsibility.

These important new service capabilities
mean we can now safely and responsibly
manage more of the non-standard waste
collection and processing tasks that are
critical to all municipalities across the
country. Residential customers can enjoy
drop-off or collection programs for
household hazardous waste, electronics,
universal waste or medical sharps.

Commercial and industrial customers can
now expand their collection program to
include vacuum cleanout services, collection
of oils or solvents, or other unique materials
that come from the business or
manufacturing process.

Lastly, municipalities can now enjoy a single
partner that supports cleanups of
abandoned waste, homeless encampments
and drug labs seized by police, as well as
emergency response to spills, remediation
or natural disasters.

For example, the Republic Services team
was at the forefront of cleanup efforts after
an oil spill off Southern California’s coast in
October 2021. A third party’s pipeline had
ruptured, resulting in more than 125,000
gallons of crude oil washing ashore. When
called into service, we quickly mobilized 250
people who supported recovery efforts
including the collection, transport and
disposal of oil-soaked waste.

Public Education and
Outreach
Public education is critical to
maintaining an efficient and costeffective program for environmental services in your community.

The goal of Republic Services’ public
education and outreach program is to
educate residents on industry trends and
best practices, and the specific programs in
your contract. We do this by engaging
community groups and business
associations, to educate residents and
businesses about the key elements of the
program, including relevant program
changes, and highlighting customer service,
cost, environmental benefits and state
requirements.

Website
The Republic Services website is designed to
be a one-stop resource for current and
potential customers. They will find news
updates, collection information and
educational tools. The educational program
provides in-depth information for both
residential and commercial customers, and
the programs are downloadable and can be
used for outreach and environmental
initiatives.

RepublicServices.com provides in-depth
content specific to residential and
commercial needs. If the customer is
directly billed by Republic Services, they can
also inquire into billing-related questions or
even view and securely pay their bill.

Residential customers will also find
resources for recycling and environmental
needs.

Business pages allow users to login and
view/pay their bills, view billing history, and
schedule pickups. Commercial users will also
find resources on how to responsibly dispose
of electronics waste, hazardous household
material, and other environmentally harmful
materials.

On the main page of RepublicServices.com,
visitors will be able to view a video clip of
recycling education that features our “closed
loop” recycling collection program. This
video can easily be edited to focus on any
new initiatives agreed upon with Cudahy,
CA. Additionally, residents can view a video
on our new Plastics Polymer center featuring
our innovative techniques for creating
plastics circularity.

Republic Services App
Our application for mobile devices can be
used to schedule a pick-up, report a missed
pick-up, receive service notifications, search
additional products and services, and much
more. It can be easily downloaded from the
App Store for Apple users or for Android
users from Google Play.

efforts, we provide the following materials to
ensure that residents are fully aware of the
services provided by Republic Services and
how to properly use these services.

Welcome Packet
At the commencement of service, Republic
Services will provide an initial information
packet to residents. This packet will contain
information on the services offered and
proper preparation procedures. In addition,
the packet will contain information on
additional services and products offered by
Republic Services as well as a collection day
reminder for their specific location. This
packet will also be made available to new
residents that move into Cudahy, CA.

Annual Education Updates
Republic Services will mail each household
an annual reference guide for collection
services. This reference guide will contain
information on collection services as well as
any updates for acceptable or unacceptable
materials. The reference guide will also
contain information on new products and
services available to residents.

Oops Tags
Oops tags are our first line of education for
residents that have placed unacceptable
items at the curb for collection. Drivers and
route supervisors will leave an oops tag with
the resident if a material cannot be picked
up. Oops tags will provide the reason why
the item was not picked up as well as a
phone number to call for further follow up
information.

Presentations to Schools and
Other Community
Organizations
Republic Services is a well-known friend,
supporter and partner to local schools in
Cudahy, CA. We believe that providing an
environmental education to students will
build a foundation and an appreciation to
preserving and protecting the planet.

Students, in turn, bring this knowledge back
to their families and become catalysts for
promoting sustainable habits at home.

Republic Services provides teachers, staff
and students with training on proper
diversion and disposal practices. We place
significant emphasis on the importance of
recycling as it diverts reusable materials
from being disposed in and allows for a
longer lifespan for local landfills.

We provide education on all aspects of
environmental stewardship including trash,
electricity, water, paper, chemical, and
emissions reductions. Our goal is to
empower students to utilize what they have
learned in their school communities about
environmental sustainability to make a
global impact.

Creating Sustainability Focused
Generations
In order to teach and influence the future
generations in our municipalities, Republic
Services will engage school administrators,
faculty, staff and students in efforts to drive
public education in the scholls. Once
enrolled, the entire school community will

receive specialized education based on that
group’s role in promoting recycling.

Republic Services will include the following
elements when addressing the education
and training needs of each community
member:

1.) Communication and Feedback
Republic Services will communicate the
availability of educational resources to each
school’s administrators through a variety of
outlets prior to the opening of school each
fall. In addition, a recycling representative
will follow up and respond to school/teacher
requests for educational materials,
resources, and presentations throughout the
year.

2.) Logistical Training
Republic Services will meet with
administrators, faculty, facilities personnel,
and parents (through PTA meetings and
other means) initially, and as needed, to
establish and provide training on internal
materials capture systems. We will provide
educational curriculum and program how-to
information in a fun format, such as
storytelling, recycling relays, competitions,
waste audits and videos. Educational
curriculum, activities and presentations are
geared toward grade level/age groups.

3.) Recycling Champions
Republic Services will work with all schools
within the district to identify a recycling
champion within each school who will act as
the school’s recycling coordinator. This
coordinator will monitor faculty, staff and
administrators for optimal, proper recycling
program participation, knowledge, and
utilization of educational resources provided
by Republic Services and other sources.

They will also communicate recycling
program results to students and staff.

4.) District Recycling Committee
Republic Services proposes that the school
district recycling committee be comprised of
the identified recycling champions named in
item 3 above and headed by a district
administrator and a Republic Services
recycling representative. The recycling
committee will meet according to need and
district preference until recycling programs
are functional in all schools.

5.) Recycling Education
All educational materials will be provided in
the primary languages represented in the
student body of the district and can be
found at RecyclingSimplified.com
Republic Services involvement with local
schools goes beyond how we can help with
environmental education; we also believe in
supporting students at all levels. For
example, we provide educational and safety
programs at local schools featuring
characters such as Recycling Rosie, Garbage
Gus and Driver Mike.

The presentation is interactive and features
information on how to recycle and teaches
children how to be safe around collection
vehicles. Children receive a complimentary
coloring book that reinforces the safety
message. At the end of the presentation,
children are escorted out to the parking lot,
where a Republic Services truck and driver
are on hand so that children can sit in the
cab, view the controls, and ask the driver
questions.

Republic Services also encourages an annual
recycling contest among local elementary
schools. Each school is challenged to reduce
waste, recycle more, and separate their food
scraps for composting. Schools will compete
for the greatest year-over-year diversion
results (measured Fall through early
Figure 9. Engaging kids through schools. We
believe that providing an environmental

Spring). The winning school is rewarded
with an all-expenses paid recycling fair that
will feature multiple activity stations
including recycled art projects, an
opportunity to view the inside of a recycling
collection truck, and products made from
recycled materials.

In addition to providing a unique and
comprehensive school outreach program,
Republic Services plans to reach out to
various community organizations such as
the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, business
associations and other appropriate groups to
provide detailed recycling outreach
education and offer tools and support for
successful programs.

Public Events
Republic Services will be a true leader in
Cudahy, CA, not only because of our
dedication to excellence in service, but
because we are a proud community partner.

We participate in numerous community
events on an annual basis and propose to
build on these existing efforts by partnering
with Cudahy, CA.to develop and launch a
sustainability-themed outreach schedule for
public events.

The program would involve creating a family
of “green” recycling-specific educational
hand-outs, and a common, customizable
booth design that could be used at local
street fairs, art festivals and concerts.

Republic Services will not only continue to
provide service and assistance to community
events, we will also work with event
planners to bring additional value. This
would include upfront planning for logistics
detail, such as placement of dumpsters,
providing a full contingent of dumpsters at
each collection point with clear messaging to
encourage recycling participation, clean up
services, sponsorships and educational
materials.

We see this as an opportunity to engage
with the community to become even
stronger and more vibrant. Cudahy, CA can
count on Republic Services to be a true
corporate citizen and community partner in
greening the Cudahy, CA service area and
educating residents and businesses every
step of the way.

Curbing Contamination
The best way to reduce contamination is at
the source, with both restricted access lids
and spot checks.

Our drivers are well trained to check for and
document contamination every time they
service a cart or dumpster. The driver can
then remotely update the account to reflect
the contamination note, allowing our
dedicated staff to notify the customer and
offer one-on-one assistance. We work
closely with each customer to develop a
solution to their contamination problem. We
can also provide resources to the city they
can share with residents and property staff.

Pricing Proposal
Previously, Republic Services has provided
pricing to do a full waiver review on behalf
of the City of Cudahy.

We proposed this with promptness as the
priority and with our partnership we propose
the faster option to be the less expensive
option.
25 days to complete- $24,977.00
50 Days to complete- $29,415.71
As for Hauling and an Amendment we have
the following rate structure.

Residential- $32.92/month
Commercial - $463.53/Month
Each rate now includes trash, recycling and
organics services and be the largest step
towards full compliance with the state.

As we mentioned on our meeting, this rate
assumes 90% participation (10% waivers)
and continuing the CPI language as current.
(90% CPI-All Urban with disposal
component).

Recommendation to
Proceed
Our recommendation would be to start the
waiver process and simultaneously start an
amendment to work through. Either we can
provide that or if you have a draft
agreement, we’d be happy to start there.

Since it will be difficult to nail our
assumptions until we know the full impact of
waivers, we recommend negotiating and
finalizing the cost sheet as the last piece.

Additional Options to
Consider
After careful consideration Republic Services
have come up with two alternative proposals
that achieve the same compliance objectives
with different pricing and a simplified annual
increase methodology. These options in
addition to the original shall present three
paths forward for consideration.

Both proposals below assume set pricing for
the years outlined below and there after
would increase by 100% CPI- Water, Sewer,
Trash with no disposal pass through
component. This simplifies the methodology
and the increase trend closer in line with our
cost increases. In a separate attachment,
we have included 2016-Current for that
proposed index.

First Alterative- 7 Years
Fixed pricing for first two years then CPIWST thereafter.

Year 1 Residential- $29.93
Year 2 Residential- $32.92
Year 1 Commercial- $421.39
Year 2 Commercial- $463.53

STAFF REPORT
Date: November 19, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager/Executive Director By: John Peraza, Assistant to the City Manager
Subject: Approval of Professional Services Agreement with Transtech Engineers, Inc. for On-Call Engineering Services

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to approve a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Transtech Engineers, Inc. for On-Call Engineering Services in a not-to-exceed fiscal year sum of $750,000.

BACKGROUND
From November 2023 – November 2024, Transtech Engineers, Inc. (“Transtech”) filled the position of Director of Public Works for the City of Cudahy (“City”), providing essential leadership to the Public Works Department.

In addition, since April 2024, Transtech has also been providing a Senior Engineer/Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Manager who is overseeing and managing the City’s Capital Improvement Projects, and an Assistant City Engineer.

On June 11, 2024, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement for Senior Engineer CIP Management Services and Public Works Oversight Services with Transtech under a Master Agreement. This agreement had an initial not-to-exceed amount of $45,600, with an initial term of 90 days and an option to extend for an additional 90 days. On August 21, 2024, the City Manager exercised the extension option for an additional 90 days, keeping the not-to-exceed amount unchanged.

ANALYSIS
The City faces ongoing challenges related to the absence of full-time, in-house engineering staff within the Public Works Department. The position of Director of Public Works has was temporarily filled by Transtech from November 2023, and currently provides services for the roles of Senior Engineer/Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Manager and Assistant City Engineer.

While these appointments have been instrumental in maintaining department operations, the absence of permanent, dedicated engineering staff creates significant gaps in the City’s ability to manage and oversee public works projects efficiently.

Given the complexity of upcoming infrastructure projects and the need for immediate, expert engineering support, on-call engineering services are essential. These services would provide the City with the flexibility to respond to emerging needs, address regulatory requirements, and maintain oversight on ongoing and future Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects.

Without these services, the City would face potential delays, non-compliance risks, and inefficiencies in service delivery.

Transtech Engineers, Inc. has demonstrated its capability in fulfilling the duties of Interim Director of Public Works, Senior Engineer/CIP Manager, and Assistant City Engineer. This continuity of leadership is a key asset, as Transtech engineers are already familiar with the City’s infrastructure, goals, and ongoing projects. Their deep knowledge of the City’s operations, combined with their experience in project management, makes them a reliable partner for addressing the City’s on-call engineering needs.

Overall, Transtech shall provide on-call engineering services for the City on an as-needed basis and paid according to an approved rate schedule incorporated in Attachment “B”.

The City is expected to require additional engineering services for the upcoming Capital Improvement Program projects that include but are not limited to the following:
• Lugo Park Soccer Field Rehabilitation Project
• Clara Bridge Lighting Improvement Project
• Clara Park ADA Door Replacement Project
• Citywide/Atlantic Complete Street Improvements Project • Salt Lake Pedestrian Safety Improvement Project – HSIP 7 • Citywide Restriping Project
• Roadway Resurfacing Project
