STAFF REPORT
Date: February 18, 2025
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 February 4, 2025, for the Regular 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 February 4, 2025.

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"

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 February 4, 2025.

STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
No correlation to the strategic plan.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

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 January 2025

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to approve the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) Report for the month of January 2025 in the amount of $11,289,418.46.

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 January 1, 2025, the balance in LAIF was $11,156,151.16 (See Attachment).

4. In January 2025, $133,267.30 in interest was received for the 4th quarter of 2024.

5. On January 31, 2025, the balance in LAIF was $11,289,418.46 (See Attachment).

ANALYSIS
Item Number
12B

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
02/18/2025 Page 2 of 2
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.

Dear Alfonso Noyola:

AWARD LETTER NOTICE YEAR 5 (2023 ALLOCATION)

PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING ALLOCATION PROGRAM
The Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) is pleased to announce that the City’s tentative Year 5 Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funding allocation is $136,782. Overall, LACDA experienced a decreased level of funding for Year 5 PLHA funds, which is why you will see less funding available now compared to prior years.

Once the LACDA receives the Year 5 funding from the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), the city of Cudahy will be required to enter a contract with the LACDA that will set forth the conditions for funding and program/regulatory requirements that are required to be met for the funding and implementation of the City’s PLHA funded activity. Please note that in order to receive funding, the City must be in compliance, specifically having a State approved Housing Element at the time of the award commitment from the State to LACDA.

If you wish to accept these funds for current or new eligible activities, the city of Cudahy must:

1. Submit a Letter of Intent which includes concise details of the proposed Activity and Sub-Activity and describes how the City plans to expend the funds by June 30, 2028;

2. Complete a proposed Exhibit A form for the planned activity;

3. Provide a city council approved resolution; and

4. Provide proof of 30-day Public Notice.

Please submit all required documentation on or before February 14, 2025. If the Letter of Intent, including supporting documentation is not received by the due date, the available allocation will be retained by the County and reallocated to Countywide program(s).

STAFF REPORT
Date: February 18, 2025
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: Presentation by Inner City Visions

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to receive and file the presentation by Inner City Visions (ICV) and to provide staff with further direction, if needed, regarding a proposed partnership to support a California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) grant application.

BACKGROUND

1. On February 11, 2025, the City Manager met with representatives from Inner City Visions and the Office of Senator Lena Gonzalez to discuss a proposed partnership focused on violence prevention and community safety in Cudahy.

2. Inner City Visions presented their request for the City’s support of their CalVIP grant application, collaboration with Los Angeles Unified School District to address absenteeism and youth engagement, and access to community spaces for stakeholder collaboration.

3. The City Manager agreed to sign a letter of support for a $475,000 grant request in his capacity as City Manager (exclusively for Cudahy), aimed at funding intervention workers, program operations, community engagement, and program evaluation.

ANALYSIS
Inner City Visions is a community-based organization with a proven track record of reducing violence and fostering resilience in underserved communities. They employ trauma-informed strategies in collaboration with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health’s Office of Violence Prevention. Their past initiatives have resulted in measurable reductions in violence, improved youth engagement, and strengthened school-community relationships.

The California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) grant was established to provide Item Number

funding for cities and organizations working to reduce violence in high-risk communities. ICV’s proposal aligns with the City’s goals of improving public health and safety, with a focus on evidence-based strategies such as hospital-based intervention programs, street outreach, and focused deterrence.

ICV’s proposed investment in Cudahy includes:
• $350,000 for program staffing, including intervention workers and case managers. • $60,000 for program operations, such as trauma-informed training and youth incentives. • $30,000 for community engagement and outreach.
• $35,000 for evaluation and monitoring to ensure program success.

The City’s role in this partnership would include supporting ICV’s grant application, facilitating connections with local elected officials, Los Angeles Unified School District, and providing access to community spaces for stakeholder collaboration, if available.

CONCLUSION
If the City Council approves the recommendation, the City Manager will proceed with signing a letter of support for ICV’s grant application. Staff will also explore existing opportunities to support ICV’s initiatives without additional funding where possible. The grant, if awarded in September 2025, will require rebidding every three years.

6. Explore opportunities for efficiency through insourcing and outsourcing.

By: Johncito “John” Peraza, Assistant to the City Manager Subject: Adoption of Resolution No. 25-07 Authorizing the City Manager to execute the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Cudahy, California and the Cudahy Chamber of Commerce

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to adopt Resolution No. 25-07 Authorizing the City Manager to execute the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Cudahy, California and the Cudahy Chamber of Commerce.

BACKGROUND
On December 18, 2024, the City of Cudahy and the Cudahy Chamber of Commerce began discussions to formalize a partnership aimed at supporting local businesses and enhancing economic development. In January 2025, the City submitted an application for membership to the Cudahy Chamber of Commerce.

Following these discussions, the City and Chamber developed the proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which outlines a non-financial partnership focused on promoting business engagement, strengthening communication, and supporting local economic initiatives. This MOU aligns with the City's economic goals and existing programs like Business Watch.

ANALYSIS
The proposed MOU formalizes a strategic partnership between the City of Cudahy and the Cudahy Chamber of Commerce to foster local business growth, enhance economic development initiatives, and improve communication between the City and business community. This agreement will enable the City to promote Chamber resources, highlight Item Number
14B

business-related activities, and designate a representative to attend Chamber meetings and events. Additionally, it will strengthen the Business Watch program, ensuring better coordination between local businesses and City officials.

The Chamber, in turn, will be responsible for organizing and hosting business networking events, ribbon-cutting ceremonies, and other business-oriented activities while maintaining financial responsibility for these efforts. The Chamber will also collaborate with the City to improve business outreach and engagement.

This MOU does not create any financial obligations for the City but rather solidifies a nonfinancial partnership aimed at mutual support and resource sharing. Either party may terminate the agreement with written notice.

CONCLUSION
If the Council approves the recommendation, the City Manager will execute the MOU, and the partnership between the City and the Chamber will be implemented. This will enhance communication with local businesses, strengthen economic development efforts, and foster a more collaborative relationship between the City and its business community.

1. Effective January 1, 2020, Assembly Bills 1486 and 1255 amended the California Surplus Land Act (“SLA”), which prescribes a process for agencies to first make surplus lands available for affordable housing prior to the disposition of any surplus lands. Although parties have expressed interest in developing the Property for commercial uses, the City must first comply with SLA requirements and make the Property available for affordable housing prior to making it available for other developments.

2. On July 5, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. SA 22-02 (Attachment A) declaring the Property as surplus land. On July 7, 2022, City staff distributed the Notice of Availability (“NOA”) (Attachment B) in compliance with the SLA guidelines which included email notification to the State Housing and Community Development Department (“HCD”), local public entities and housing sponsors that have notified HCD of their interest in surplus land in Los Angeles County. The distribution of the NOA effectively began the 60-day response period which concluded on September 3, 2022.

The NOA was also published on the City’s website. If correspondence expressing interest from any of the above entities is received within the 60-day NOA period, the City is required to negotiate the terms of the sale of the site with the developer proposing to build the most affordable housing units.

3. At the conclusion of the 60-day NOA period, the City received two (2) letters of interest, from Primestor Development, LLC (“Primestor”) (Attachment C) and The Olson Company (Attachment D). Primestor proposed a mixed-use development with at least thirty percent (30%) of the units set aside to lower-income levels. The Olson Company proposed a residential development with twenty-five percent (25%) of the units set aside to lower-income levels.

4. On November 8, 2022, the City and Primestor commenced the negotiations over the potential purchase and development of the site, with a primary focus on building affordable housing. Primestor evaluated different scenarios to ascertain the feasibility of developing the site with affordable housing. Based on their assessment, this was unattainable.

5. On November 29, 2022, the City emailed a letter (Attachment E) to The Olson Company, notifying them that their proposal would not be pursued. The letter cited the fact that their proposal included a lower number of affordable units than another proposal received by the City as the reason for this decision.

6. On January 9, 2025, the City received a letter from Primestor withdrawing its Letter of Interest (Attachment D). The letter cited concerns regarding the low resource area, limited access to site amenities, uncertainty around local funding commitments, and market rate comparables.

ANALYSIS
Surplus Land Act
The SLA requires all local agencies to prioritize affordable housing, as well as parks and open space, when disposing of surplus land. Given that the Property is located in the City’s Atlantic Avenue District and its proximity to other commercial and mixed-use projects, the Property may ultimately be developed as mixed-use or commercial. Nevertheless, in order to proceed to an eventual sale of the properties, it is necessary to comply with the SLA.

As described above, the City has complied with the requirements of the SLA, which includes the 60-day NOA response period and 90-day good faith negotiations.

CONCLUSION
Due to the withdrawal of interest from Primestor, and no other letters of interest received during the 60-day interest period, the City may now dispose of the Property outside of SLA guidelines. City staff will continue HCD’s SLA process, which includes submitting all relevant documentation to HCD for final review and evaluation of the City’s compliance with the SLA.

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF SURPLUS LAND
TO: Whom It May Concern (Via Electronic Mail)
RE: Notice of Availability of Surplus Land in the City of Cudahy, Pursuant to California Government Code Section 54220 et seq. (the “Surplus Land Act”) Pursuant to the provisions of the Surplus Land Act (California Government Code Section 54220 et seq.) (the “Act”), the Successor Agency to the former Cudahy Redevelopment Agency (“Successor Agency”) hereby notifies those entities designated in Section 54222 of the Act of the availability for lease or purchase of the Successor Agency-owned land identified in Exhibit 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Development Site”), for the purposes authorized in the Act, which land the Successor Agency has declared surplus by Resolution No.

SA 22-02, dated July 5, 2022, prior to the disposition of the Development Site by the Successor Agency consistent with the Act and the Successor Agency’s policies or procedures.

The Development Site is located at the northeast corner of Atlantic Ave. and Clara Street within the City of Cudahy and consists of eight contiguous parcels totaling 72,532 square feet. Of the 8 parcels, none are currently occupied by residential tenants. Parcels 6226-022-904, 6226-022-905, 6226-022-906, 6226-022-907, and 6226-022-9011 are vacant. Parcels 6226-022-908 and 6226- 022-909 contain a motel. Parcel 6226-022-9010 contains a commercial strip center. The approximate size of each parcel is as follows: APN 6226-022-904 – 8,649 sq. ft.; APN 6226-022- 905 – 7,341 sq. ft.; APN 6226-022-906 – 8,456 sq. ft.; APN 6226-022-907 – 1,464 sq. ft.; APN 6226-022-908 – 10, 454 sq. ft.; APN 6226-022-909 – 19,566 sq. ft.; APN 6226-022-910 – 11,684 sq. ft.; APN 6226-022-911 – 4,915 sq. ft. All parcels are located in the Commercial Mixed Use Zone. Ideally, the Successor Agency desires to establish a long-term, fair market value ground lease or sale (as determined by an appraisal) of the Development Site. However, the Successor Agency is willing to consider alternatives.

If you have any questions regarding the Development Site, you may contact the Successor Agency’s representative, Salvador Lopez, at the telephone number or email address listed below or by responding to the cover email accompanying this transmittal.

In accordance with Government Code Section 54222, if interested in purchasing or leasing the property for an authorized purpose under the Act, you must notify the Successor Agency in writing of your interest in purchasing or leasing the property within 60 days of the date of this Notice of Availability. However, this offer shall not obligate the Successor Agency to sell the property to you. Instead, the Successor Agency would enter into at least ninety (90) days of negotiations with you pursuant to Government Code Section 54223. If no agreement is reached on sales price and terms, or lease terms, the Successor Agency may market the property to the general public. As required by Government Code Section 54227, if the Successor Agency receives more than one letter of interest during this 60 day period, it will give first priority to entities proposing to develop ATTACHMENT B Page 79 of 139
housing where at least 25 percent of the units will be affordable to lower income households. If more than one such proposal is received, priority will be given to the proposal with the greatest number of affordable units. If more than one proposal specifies the same number of affordable units, priority will be given to the proposal that has the lowest average affordability level.

Written notices of interest must be sent, if at all, to, and must be received by, September 3, 2022, within said 60-day period at the following address. The receipt of an email or notice by certified mail by way of the United States Postal Service is acceptable. If by certified mail, we suggest that you send it via certified mail with return receipt requested.

WHEREAS, the former Cudahy Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") was a community redevelopment agency organized and existing under the California Redevelopment Law;
WHEREAS, the Agency was dissolved effective February 1, 2012, by way of Assembly Bill 1x26 (as subsequently amended from time to time, the "Dissolution Act") and the California Supreme Court's decision in California Redevelopment Association v.

Matosantos (2011) 53 Cal .4th 231;
WHEREAS, the Dissolution Act created a "successor agency" for each dissolved redevelopment agency, and charged such agencies with completing various tasks and obligations geared towards "winding down" the affairs of their respective redevelopment agency;

WHEREAS, the Successor Agency owns that certain 1.66-acre property, located at 4613 Clara Street, 4615 Clara Street, 7638 Atlantic Ave., 7660 Atlantic Ave., 7644 Atlantic Ave., 7630 Atlantic Ave. (APNs: 6226-022-904, 6226-022-905, 6226-022-906, 6226-022-907, 6226-022-908, 6226-022-909, 6226-022-910 6226-022-911 ), which is more particularly depicted at Exhibit A (the "Property'') and such Property is identified for sale in the LRPMP as Site Number 6; and
WHEREAS, the Property is in the Commercial Mixed Use Zone and is currently occupied by a mixture of land uses and vacant lots, including an operating motel and a commmercial strip center; and
WHEREAS, the Property is "surplus land" because it is not necessary for the Successor Agency's use and none of the statutory exemptions set forth under Government Code Section 54221 (f)(1) are applicable, and therefore the Property and disposition thereof are subject to the Surplus Land Act (Government Code Section 54220 et seq.) (the "Act").

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CUDAHY, CALIFORNIA,

SITTING AS THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE FORMER REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF CUDAHY HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.

Section 2. The Successor Agency finds that the Property is "surplus land" because it is not necessary for the Successor Agency's use, as defined under the Act, Section 54221 (c), and does not qualify as "exempt surplus land" under the Act, Section 54221 (f).

Section 3. The Successor Agency approves the form of Notice of Availability, attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Notice"), and authorizes the Executive Director or designee to comply with the requirements of the Act, to issue the Notice to those statutorily entitled to receive it (Section 54222), and to negotiate in good faith with those entities, if any, who submit qualified Notices of Interest (Sections 54222.5 and 54223).

Section 4. The action authorized by this Resolution does not authorize or approve the actual disposition or sale of the Property. Thus, this action does not commit the Successor Agency to any future action, nor does this action approve a particular project, or grant any specific approval that would have a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect environmental impact pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). (See 14 California Code of Regulations Sections15060(c); 15378(b).) As such, the mere declaration of surplus land and authorization to proceed under the Act do not constitute the approval of a "project" under CEQA, and no further action under CEQA is required.

Dear Mr. Arauz:

Primestor is excited by the opportunity to submit this LETTER OF INTEREST to acquire the surplus properties made available by the City of Cudahy. This letter hereby expresses our interest in acquiring the property for the fair market value based on a mutually acceptable appraisal.

We are eager to work with the City of Cudahy on this site due to its strategic location which provides the opportunity to create a comprehensive development of much needed affordable housing and commercial/retail revitalization. The location makes this location very attractive to us.

We would like to engage the City as well as the local stakeholders in a robust conversation around how to enhance the neighborhood. Our objective is to create and implement a project that will incorporate these parcels into the larger neighborhood which complements the adjacent uses and builds the character of the surrounding area.

ATTACHMENT C

Our proposal is to develop a mixed-use project with will include the development of residential rental housing of which AT LEAST 30% of the units will be set aside to individuals/families at lower income levels pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 50105/6.

The proposal is summarized as follows:
1) Name of Entity Interest in Purchasing the Property is PRIMESTOR DEVELOPMENT, LLC;
2) Proposed Use - mixed use/mixed income development with affordable residential rental with AT LEAST 30% of the units set aside to lower income levels pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 50105/6. Should the City request, we are willing and able to produce 100% of the residential units are affordable. 3) Proposed Purchase Price-Fair Market Value as determined by a third appraisal; and
4) Terms and Conditions to close include Phase I environmental, confirmation of zoning and compliance with local requirements.

Primestor’s unique approach to mixed-use development is well suited for this site.

Through partnership with community stakeholders, municipalities and institutional investors, Primestor’s projects become regional and local gathering spaces for the neighborhoods we serve. Our Development Team believes that our collaborative and holistic approach to creating unique environments will benefit all parties involved. The members of our team are uniquely qualified to embark on this exciting opportunity. We intend to build and leverage upon the many assets and relationships we have built throughout the area to create socially vibrant, economically catalytic, play and pedestrian-friendly destinations for the residents of Cudahy.

Should our preliminary thoughts regarding the project design meet with your approval, we can proceed to submit a more formalized plan that will lead to an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement for the disposition of the property. We are hopeful to continue our dialogue on this site and await your response and selection.

Please feel free to reach me at (213) 588-1334 or [email protected].

intentional or willful misconduct, MGT’s total aggregate liability to Client shall be limited to the amount of compensation paid by Client to MGT under this Agreement in the twelve (12) months prior to the action giving rise to liability.

8. GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION AND CONSENT TO SUIT. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state of Florida, irrespective of the choice of laws principles of the state of Florida, as to all matters including validity, construction, effect, enforceability, performance, and remedies.

9. DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE. In the event of a dispute, controversy or claim by and between the Parties arising out of matters related to this Agreement, the Parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve through negotiation any such dispute, controversy, or claim. Either party may initiate negotiations by providing written notice to the other party setting forth the subject of the dispute and the relief requested. The recipient of such notice will respond in writing within five (5) business days with a statement of its position on, and recommended solution to, the dispute. If the dispute is not resolved by this exchange of correspondence, then senior management representatives of each party with full settlement authority will meet at a mutually agreeable time and place within fifteen (15) business days of the date of the initial notice to exchange relevant information and perspectives and to attempt to resolve the dispute.

If the dispute is not resolved by negotiation, either party may commence mediation by written request to the other party. The Parties will cooperate in selecting a mediator and in scheduling the mediation proceedings. The mediation shall take place in Tampa, Florida. The Parties will participate in the mediation in good faith and will share equally in its costs. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by either of the parties, their agents, employees, experts or attorneys, or by the mediator, are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any litigation or other proceeding involving the parties; provided, however, that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation.

Either party may seek equitable relief prior to the mediation to preserve the status quo pending the completion of that process. Except for such an action to obtain equitable relief, neither party shall commence a civil action with respect to the matters submitted to mediation until after the completion of the initial mediation session, at which time suit may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees.

In addition, should the dispute under this Agreement involve the failure to pay fees, and the matter is not resolved through negotiation or mediation, Client shall pay all costs of collection, including, but not limited to, MGT’s legal fees and costs should MGT prevail.

10. CONFIDENTIALITY.

During an Excusable Delay, the delayed party shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate costs and damages and to resume performance under this Agreement.

The Parties recognize that MGT’s ability to timely perform under a SOW is contingent upon Client’s timely provision of any agreed-upon data, personnel access, or other requirements. If Client’s failure to provide to such data, access or other requirements causes significant delays to MGT’s progression of Services, and MGT incurs losses or damages as a result, then the Parties shall negotiate and execute a SOW amendment for an equitable adjustment to the schedule and for additional costs. MGT shall provide all substantiating documentation of costs reasonably requested by Client in consideration for any equitable adjustment. Excusable Delays shall not give rise to an equitable adjustment.

12. FEES AND PAYMENT. Unless otherwise set forth in a SOW, all correct invoices submitted by MGT to Client shall be due and payable upon receipt. If Client disputes an invoice or portion thereof in good faith, then Client shall pay any undisputed portion and provide MGT with written notice of the dispute, in reasonable detail, and the Parties shall promptly meet to resolve such dispute. MGT reserves the right to impose an interest charge equal to the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum allowable by law in respect of any invoice which is outstanding for more than thirty (30) days. MGT may stop work after sixty (60) days of Client’s non-payment of undisputed invoiced amounts.

This provision shall not restrict the right of either party to solicit by public advertisement.

15. ASSIGNMENT. Neither party may assign any rights nor delegate any duties or obligations under this Agreement without the express written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MGT, or its permitted successive assignees or transferees, may assign or transfer this Agreement or delegate any rights or obligations hereunder without consent: (i) to any entity controlled by, or under common control with, MGT, or its permitted successive assignees or transferees; or (ii) in connection with a merger, reorganization, transfer, sale of assets or change of control or ownership of MGT, or its permitted successive assignees or transferees.

16. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. It is expressly understood that at all times, while rendering the Services, MGT is acting as an independent contractor and not as an officer, agent, or employee of the Client.

UNDERSTANDING OF ASSIGNMENT & PROPOSED APPROACH
MGT understands the City’s desire for a Compensation Update Study that will include the market evaluation of 56 positions utilizing eight comparable cities (Commerce, Maywood, Bell Gardens, Paramount, Huntington Park, Montebello, Lynwood, and Bellflower).

MGT understands that the study will focus on pay only and exclude benefits. MGT would conduct a market salary survey and benchmark comparisons for the included positions and provide the City with recommendations for updating pay ranges/position grade placements, as appropriate, and provide details relative to the estimated fiscal impact of the changes and implementation strategies. To accomplish this, MGT proposes the following detailed work plan to guide all phases of the study.

By: Johncito “John” Peraza, Assistant to the City Manager Subject: Adoption of the City’s Shelter Management Plan

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to adopt the City of Cudahy’s Shelter Management Plan.

BACKGROUND
The Shelter Management Plan is a vital component of the City of Cudahy’s comprehensive emergency preparedness strategy. It has been developed with input from local agencies, community partners, and experts in disaster management, ensuring it addresses the unique needs of the city’s diverse population.

The City of Cudahy has experienced growing vulnerabilities to disasters in recent years, including extreme heat events, earthquakes, and infrastructure failures. The Shelter Management Plan aims to enhance disaster resilience by providing a clear, effective response structure for sheltering residents during emergencies.

The plan outlines specific triggers for shelter activation, the locations of primary and secondary shelters, and the coordination of essential services to ensure accessibility for all, including vulnerable populations such as individuals with disabilities, older adults, and non-English speakers. It aligns with both local emergency operations and broader state and federal guidelines.

ANALYSIS
The Shelter Management Plan outlines the necessary actions to provide safe, accessible, and comfortable shelters for all residents during emergencies. Key components of the plan include:
