STAFF REPORT
Date: July 15, 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 June 17, 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 June 17, 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

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 June 17, 2025.
STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
No correlation to the strategic plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT

STAFF REPORT
Date: July 15, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager/Executive Director
By: Katherine Godbey, Interim Finance Director
Subject: Approval of the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) for the Month of June 2025
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to approve the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) Report for the month of June 2025 in the amount of $11,413,820.63.
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 June 1, 2025, the balance in LAIF was $11,413,820.63 (See Attachment).
4. On June 30, 2025, the balance in LAIF was $11,413,820.63 (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 Item Number

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: July 15, 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: Consideration and Adoption of Resolution No. 25-37 – A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Cudahy in Support of H.R. 3101 (SHIELD Act)
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to consider and adopt Resolution No. 25-37, expressing support for U.S. House H.R. 3101, the "Securing Help for Immigrants through Education and Legal Development (SHIELD) Act," sponsored by Congressman Robert Garcia, to enhance due process and legal representation for individuals facing deportation.
BACKGROUND
H.R. 3101 — commonly known as the SHIELD Act — was introduced in the U.S. House on April 30, 2025, by Congressman Robert Garcia (D-CA-42) and referred to the House Judiciary Committee. The Act establishes a federal grant program administered by the Department of Justice to strengthen legal assistance infrastructure for individuals facing removal proceedings
ANALYSIS
The SHIELD Act authorizes $100 million in competitive grants distributed over multiple years to support:
• recruitment, training, and retention of legal services staff and infrastructure; • development of high-quality, linguistically appropriate, holistic representation capacity; • prioritization of underserved communities with unmet legal needs This legislation directly supports Cudahy’s legislative pillars, particularly increasing access to justice, supporting immigrant communities, and responding to the legal representation shortage that disproportionately impacts detained individuals without counsel.

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: Consideration and Adoption of Resolution No. 25-38 – A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Cudahy in Support of Senate Bill 48 (Safe Access to Schools)
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to consider and adopt Resolution No. 25-38, expressing the City’s strong support for Senate Bill 48 (Safe Access to Schools), introduced by Senator Lena Gonzalez, to protect students and families from immigration enforcement activity on school campuses.
BACKGROUND
Senate Bill 48, introduced by Senator Lena Gonzalez and cosponsored by Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond and the California Federation of Teachers, strengthens legal protections for students and school personnel from immigration enforcement on school grounds.
SB 48 builds upon AB 699 (2017), which required local educational agencies (LEAs) to adopt Attorney General model policies restricting information-sharing and campus access by immigration authorities. However, current threats of mass deportation have prompted renewed urgency to codify more robust protections.
ANALYSIS
SB 48 addresses growing concerns that immigration enforcement actions—whether real or perceived—on or near school campuses deter attendance, disrupt learning, and reduce state funding for schools based on Average Daily Attendance (ADA).
Specifically, the bill:
• Prohibits LEAs from granting access to school campuses to immigration officers without a Item Number

judicial warrant.
• Bars school staff from disclosing student, family, or staff information to immigration authorities absent a judicial warrant.
• Strengthens the learning environment by reinforcing that schools are sensitive locations not subject to intimidation or surveillance.
The legislation is crucial for communities like Cudahy, where many students live in mixed-status households. Supporting SB 48 aligns with the City’s commitment to immigrant inclusion, youth protection, and equitable education access.
CONCLUSION
If adopted, Resolution No. 25-38 will formalize the City of Cudahy’s support for SB 48, reinforcing its stance as a welcoming city that defends the right of all children to attend school free from fear of immigration enforcement. The City Clerk will transmit the resolution to Senator Lena Gonzalez and relevant legislative committees.

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: Consideration and Adoption of Resolution No. 25-39 – A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Cudahy in Support of California Senate Bill 805 (No Vigilantes Act)
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to consider and adopt Resolution No. 25-39, expressing the City’s support for Senate Bill 805 (No Vigilantes Act), introduced by Senator Pérez and coauthored by Senator Lena Gonzalez, to promote transparency, public safety, and immigrant protections through clear identification requirements for law enforcement personnel.
BACKGROUND
California Senate Bill 805, introduced by Senator Pérez, aims to close legal gaps related to the impersonation of government officials and law enforcement. The bill addresses longstanding concerns over unauthorized or misleading conduct by individuals posing as officers, including in contexts affecting immigrant communities.
SB 805 would:
• Require personnel of law enforcement agencies (excluding those engaged in undercover operations) to display identification such as a name or badge number when interacting with the public.
• Expand existing impersonation laws to prohibit credible impersonation of government employees through any method—not just digital—for purposes of fraud or deceit. • Restrict bail recovery agents from engaging in immigration enforcement and from disclosing the immigration status of defendants.
These changes aim to restore public trust, ensure government accountability, and protect residents from threats posed by individuals acting outside the law under the guise of public Item Number

authority.
ANALYSIS
The City of Cudahy has a high percentage of immigrant and working-class residents who are particularly vulnerable to impersonation schemes and intimidation by individuals claiming false authority. SB 805 supports the City’s long-standing values of equity, safety, and transparency by:
• Protecting residents from fraud and intimidation based on perceived immigration status. • Preventing abuse by vigilantes or unauthorized actors claiming law enforcement powers. • Promoting visible, verifiable identification standards for officers to increase community trust.
The bill aligns with the City’s legislative priorities, including those adopted in Cudahy’s 2025 Legislative Platform and previously supported through collaborations with Senator Lena Gonzalez.
CONCLUSION
If adopted, Resolution No. 25-39 will formally communicate the City of Cudahy’s support for SB 805 (No Vigilantes Act), affirming the City’s commitment to public safety, transparency, and immigrant protections. The City Clerk will transmit the resolution to Senator Lena Gonzalez and other relevant legislators and remain engaged in monitoring legislative developments to advocate for community-focused reforms.

By: Johncito “John” Peraza, Assistant to the City Manager Subject: Adoption of Resolution No. 25-40 Approving the Engineer’s Report, Confirming the Diagram and Levying the Annual Assessment to Maintain the City of Cudahy Street Lighting Assessment District
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to:
1. Open the public hearing and receive comments; and
2. Adopt Resolution No. 25-40 Approving the Engineer’s Report, Confirming the Diagram and Levying the Annual Assessment to Maintain the City of Cudahy Street Lighting Assessment District for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/2026; and
3. Direct staff to forward Resolution No. 25-40 to the Los Angeles County Assessor before the August 10th deadline.
BACKGROUND
1. In accordance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (California Streets & Highways Code Section 22500 et seq.) the City of Cudahy established the Street Lighting Assessment District (the “District”). Annual levies are assessed to properties within the District to fund the ongoing maintenance of street lights and traffic signals citywide.
2. Between April and June 2025, Willdan Financial Services (“Willdan”) prepared the City’s Street Lighting Assessment District, 2025/2026 Engineer’s Annual Levy Report (attached hereto as Attachment C).
3. On June 3, 2025, City Council approved Resolution No. 25-26, which initiated proceedings to levy the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 assessment, pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of Item Number
13A
“Serving The People "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report

1972. City Council also approved Resolution No. 25-27 approving the Engineer’s Report and declaring the intention to hold a public hearing and levy the annual assessment.
4. On July 3, 2025, the Public Hearing Notice and the Resolution of Intention were published in the Long Beach Press-Telegram newspaper.
ANALYSIS
The City of Cudahy utilizes a city-wide Street Lighting Assessment District in accordance with the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 to fund the operation and maintenance of streetlights and traffic signals. The funding sources for the District are the parcels within the District’s boundaries, which are assessed annually.
The Landscaping and Lighting Act requires the City to hold a public hearing to consider the levy of the annual assessment prior to approval. Following the public hearing, the City Council must consider and approve the levy to collect the funds for streetlighting maintenance (passing a resolution and providing it to the County Assessor) before August 10. The approval of the proposed Resolution No. 25-40 is the second of the two annual City Council actions regarding the District.
During the City Council meeting held on June 3, 2025, consistent with the provisions of Streets and Highways Code Section 22623, the City Council adopted the Resolution Initiating Proceedings and the Resolution of Intention, which approved the Engineer’s Report and levy of the assessment. Pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 22626(a), the Council directed staff to publish the Resolution of Intention and provide notice of a public hearing on the assessment to take place during this meeting.
Staff have prepared Resolution No. 25-40 for consideration by the Council, a copy of which is attached (Attachment A).
CONCLUSION
Approval of Resolution No. 25-40 approving the Engineer’s Report, confirming the diagram and levying the annual assessment to maintain the City of Cudahy Street Lighting Assessment District and direct staff to forward the Resolution of Intent to the Los Angeles County Assessor before August 10, 2025, will enable the City to collect the assessments to fund the ongoing operation and maintenance of the City’s streetlights and traffic signals.
Failure to approve Resolution No. 25-40 will prevent the City from receiving monies from the Los Angeles County Assessor to pay for the operation and maintenance of the City’s street lights.
FINANCIAL IMPACT

Staff Report
07/15/2025 Page 3 of 3
State law authorizes the City to include the costs of preparing the Engineer’s Report and administering the District in the total amount of the assessment. The total amount of this year’s engineer’s estimate is $206,242. This cost includes $145,000 for Southern California Edison expenses, $55,000 for Streetlight Maintenance, $4,042 to administer the District, and $2,200 to publish the notice of the public hearing and Resolution No. 25-40. The total assessment amount for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 is anticipated to be $73,510 and the difference of $132,732 will be paid by supplemental funds, Gas Tax monies (Streets & Highways Code § 22526, defining incidental expenses), to equal the total expenses.
No increase or change to the annual assessment rate is proposed for Fiscal Year 2025/2026, as the proposed formation of a new Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District was not approved due to a majority protest.

I. OVERVIEW
A. INTRODUCTION
To ensure a flow of funds for a portion of the ongoing maintenance and servicing of street lighting facilities and traffic signals within the boundaries of the City of Cudahy (the “City”), the City Council has previously formed the City of Cudahy Street Lighting Assessment District (hereinafter referred to as the “District”).
Adequate lighting on public streets and traffic signals to control the flow of traffic and safe crossing of pedestrians are considered important for public convenience and safety.
Protection of property and reduction of traffic accidents are specific benefits that properties realize within the City. The lighting benefit is directly related to safety and property protection and therefore increases the perceived and actual usability and value of residential, commercial, and industrial properties.
For Fiscal Year 2025/2026, the City initiated the formation of a Landscaping and Lighting District, in accordance with the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 and the procedural and substantive requirements of Article XIIID of the California State Constitution (commonly known as “Proposition 218”). The proposed District aimed to fund and maintain various landscaping and lighting improvements, including traffic signals, that would provide special benefits to properties citywide. It was intended to replace the City’s existing Street Lighting Assessment District. A Public Hearing was held on April 15, 2025; however, a majority protest occurred, with more “No” votes than “Yes” votes preventing the formation of the District.
This Engineer’s Report (hereinafter referred to as the “Report”) presents the engineering analysis for the District for Fiscal Year 2025/2026. The proposed lighting assessment for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 is approximately $73,509.76, as described in this Report within the budget section.
B. AUTHORITY FOR THE REPORT
This Report is prepared pursuant to a Resolution of the City Council ordering an Engineer’s Report and in compliance with the requirements of Chapter 1, Article 4, Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (“1972 Act”), being Part 2 of Division 15, Sections 22500 through 22679 of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California. This Report covers the period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026.
This Report includes plans and specifications for the improvements, an estimate of the costs of the improvements, a listing of the proposed assessment against the parcels or lots that benefit from the improvements, and a diagram of the assessment district showing the boundaries of the District. Note, the boundaries of the District are coterminous with those of the City and, by reference, are hereby made part of this Report. The Report is hereby presented to the City Council for its review and preliminary approval as presented, or as the City Council may determine it should be modified prior to approval.
After the Report is preliminarily approved, the City Council may adopt a Resolution of Intention that describes the improvements, refers to the Report for details of the District, and sets a time and place for a public hearing on the proposed levy of assessments.
2025/2026 Street Lighting Assessment District Page 2
Assessments for this District are being levied for the following improvements within the District:
1. The maintenance and servicing of arterial streetlights provide a special benefit to all assessable parcels within the District whether or not such parcels are in close proximity to such lights.
2. The maintenance and servicing of local streetlights in close proximity to certain lots and parcels which provide a direct special benefit to such lots or parcels.
3. The maintenance and servicing of traffic signals that contribute to traffic flow, thereby providing a measure of safety and pedestrian and vehicular accessibility to residential, commercial, and industrial properties.
The 1972 Act, in Section 22573, states that the "net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.” Details of the formula being used to spread the assessments throughout this District are found under the heading "Assessment Methodology."
C. IMPROVEMENTS AUTHORIZED BY THE 1972 ACT
As applicable or may be applicable to this District, the 1972 Act defines improvements to mean one or any combination of the following:
The installation or planting of landscaping.
The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities.
The installation or construction of public lighting facilities. The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof, including, but not limited to, grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities.
The maintenance or servicing, or both, of any of the foregoing. The acquisition of any existing improvement otherwise authorized pursuant to this section.
The 1972 Act states “incidental expenses” include all of the following:

Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased assessment.
The 1972 Act defines “maintain” or “maintenance” to mean furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement, including:
Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvement. Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury. The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste. The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti.
D. PROPOSITION 218
In November 1996 voters of the State of California passed Proposition 218 that added Article XIIID to the California Constitution requiring new procedures for assessment districts. Article XIIID requires that assessments comply with stated provisions by July 1, 1997, unless an assessment district meets certain exemptions. The exemptions from the procedural and approval requirements are set forth in Section 5 of the Article and include the following:
“(a) Any assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems or vector control.”
The District qualifies as an existing assessment with the District funding items that are considered exempt under provision (a) quoted above, specifically street improvements.
Using the definitions provided by the Office of the Controller for the State of California in the Guidelines Relating to Gas Tax Expenditures published by the Division of Local Government Fiscal Affairs, street improvements include street lighting and traffic signals.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT
A. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE DISTRICT
A diagram showing the size and location of streetlights and traffic signals to be maintained and serviced in each zone in the District is on file with the City Clerk and is hereby incorporated by reference.
2025/2026 Street Lighting Assessment District Page 4
The street lighting and traffic signal system shall be maintained and serviced to provide adequate illumination and traffic control. Maintenance shall be provided by the Southern California Edison (SCE) and shall include but not be limited to removal, repair, replacement or relocation of light standards, traffic signals, poles, bulbs, fixtures, circuits, and all appurtenances. The level of illumination shall be adequate for the intended purpose in the various Zones. Rates for energy shall be those authorized by the Public Utilities Commission, State of California.
B. ESTIMATED COSTS OF IMPROVEMENTS
The estimated costs of maintenance and servicing the District improvements are shown in the budget, Costs of Improvements, contained in Section V. .
C. DIAGRAM OF DISTRICT
The exterior boundary of the District is coterminous with the exterior boundary of the City of Cudahy.
Each assessable lot or parcel within the Assessment District is identified by the corresponding Los Angeles County Assessor’s parcel number. The Los Angeles County Assessor’s maps are used for descriptions of the lines and dimensions of each lot or parcel within the District. There are three (3) street lighting benefit zones in the Assessment District. The Zone 3 level of benefit is defined as the residential benefit. The Zone 4 level of benefit is defined as non-residential without Atlantic Avenue frontage. The Zone 5 level of benefit is defined as non-residential with Atlantic Avenue frontage.
III. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. BENEFIT
The cost for maintenance and servicing of the District improvements for the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 have been estimated for all existing streetlights and traffic signals in the City and is shown in Section V, Budget, located on page 7 of this Report. The improvement costs have been distributed to all assessable lots or parcels in the City that have abutting footage on streets in accordance with the following Method of Apportionment and benefit received.
Public Lands and Utility Operating Rights-of-Way
All publicly owned lands and all utility operating rights-of-way of public utilities are exempt from this Assessment District.
Street Lighting Benefit
The installation, maintenance, and servicing of street lighting provides the following benefits to commercial and residential properties in the District:
1. Enhances nighttime commercial, business, and residential living environment through improved visibility and related safety.
2025/2026 Street Lighting Assessment District Page 5
2. Deters nighttime vandalism and crime.
3. Improves ingress and egress to property.
4. Enhances property values, based upon Nos. 1, 2 and 3 above.
The cost of street lighting includes maintenance, electrical energy charges and capital replacement costs. The cost for energy and maintenance for the 2025/2026 Fiscal Year was estimated for existing and new street lighting in the City. The cost of energy and maintenance for all streetlights owned by Southern California Edison (SCE) is in accordance with SCE rate schedules, with rate adjustment costs estimated for the fiscal year from an analysis of rate information provided by SCE. Costs for City-owned streetlights are similarly estimated using criteria modified, however, due to City ownership of the system. The cost of street lighting is assessed on a basis of benefit received, and on a specific basis of the frontage of abutting private property on public streets having streetlights.
Nationally, industry standards recommend increasing the intensity of street light illumination from the minimum level specified for local residential streets, to higher levels specified for commercial and arterial streets. (Reference: American National Standard Practice for Roadway Lighting, RP-8, page 11, Table I, Recommendation for Average Maintained Horizontal Illumination.)
Because non-residential properties are often vacant and unattended during late night hours, they are generally more susceptible to vandalism and crime than residential properties. In addition, convenient ingress and egress is more important to non-residential properties than to residential properties, since a larger number of vehicles generally use such properties. For these reasons, non-residential properties derive a greater benefit from street lighting than residential properties. Therefore, properties zoned for nonresidential use are assessed at a higher rate than properties zoned for residential use.
In addition, the benefits of street lighting described above increase with the level of illumination of the street lighting. Because Atlantic Avenue is an arterial street, the level of illumination is higher on that street. Therefore, properties zoned for non-residential use with Atlantic Avenue frontage are assessed at a higher rate than those properties without Atlantic Avenue frontage in the following ratios.
Zone 3 level of benefit (residential) = 1.0
Zone 4 level of benefit (non-residential
without Atlantic Avenue frontage) = 1.5
Zone 5 level of benefit (non-residential
with Atlantic Avenue frontage) = 2.0
The side street or rear street level of benefit to a parcel is estimated at one-half (1/2) of the parcel’s frontage level of benefit.
2025/2026 Street Lighting Assessment District Page 6
The benefit received from street lighting by any assessable lot or parcel in the City has been determined to be in accordance with the following classifications:
Residential Level of Benefit.
Non-residential without Atlantic Avenue Frontage Level of Benefit. Non-residential with Atlantic Avenue Frontage Level of Benefit.
All lots or parcels receiving the same level of benefit have been incorporated into a zone, the boundary of which is defined by the equivalent land use zoning boundary established by the City Planning Commission, approved by the City Council, and shown on official City records. Lots or parcels presently zoned for residential land uses are deemed to receive no greater level of benefit than the residential (Zone 3) level of benefit. Similarly, lots or parcels zoned for non-residential land use without Atlantic Avenue frontage are deemed to receive no greater level of benefit than the non-residential land use without Atlantic Avenue frontage (Zone 4) level of benefit. Finally, lots or parcels zoned for non-residential land use with Atlantic Avenue frontage are deemed to receive no greater level of benefit than the non-residential land use with Atlantic Avenue frontage (Zone 5) level of benefit.
B. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The amount was apportioned to assessable lots and parcels in the City with frontage abutting on public streets in accordance with the following formula:
Apportionment Formula for Street Lighting
Street Light Benefit (SLB) of Residential Frontage (RF) = _____________Net Assessment for Street Lighting____________ RF + SY(RF)/2 + 1.5 [MF + SY(MF)/2] + 2.0[CF + SY(CF)/2] RF = Residential frontage
SY(RF) = Residential, side street or rear street frontage MF = Non-residential without Atlantic Avenue frontage
SY(MF) = Non-residential without Atlantic Avenue frontage, side street or rear street frontage
CF = Non-residential with Atlantic Avenue frontage
SY(CF) = Non-residential with Atlantic Avenue frontage, side street and rear street frontage
SLB (Residential) =
[(SLB)(RF)] x Frontage + .5[(SLB)(RF)] x Side Street or Rear Street Frontage
2025/2026 Street Lighting Assessment District Page 7
SLB (Non-residential without Atlantic Avenue frontage) =
1.5 [SLB(RF)] x Frontage + .75 [SLB(RF)] x Side Street or Rear Street Frontage SLB (Non-residential with Atlantic Avenue Frontage) =
2.0 [SLB(RF)] x Frontage + 1.0 [SLB(RF)] x Side Street or Rear Street Frontage C. ASSESSMENT ROLL
The Assessment Roll stating the net amount to be assessed upon assessable lands within the District for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 is shown under Section VII, Assessment Roll. The information included therein was obtained from the latest Secured Roll (August 2, 2024) from the County of Los Angeles, Office of the Assessor.
Upon approval of the Engineer’s Annual Levy Report, and confirmation of the assessments, the assessment information will be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller and included on the property tax roll in Fiscal Year 2025/2026. If the parcels or assessment numbers within the District and referenced in this Report are renumbered, re-apportioned or changed by the County Assessor’s Office after approval of the Report, the new parcel or assessment numbers with the appropriate assessment amount will be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller. If the parcel change made by the County includes a parcel split, parcel merger or tax status change, the assessment amount submitted on the new parcels or assessment numbers will be based on the method of apportionment and levy amount approved in this Report by the City Council.

STAFF REPORT
Date: July 15, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager
By: Juan Arauz, AICP, Community Development Director/Assistant City Manager Subject: Discussion of a Disposition and Development Agreement between the City of Cudahy and Primestor Development, Inc, for the Transfer and Development of Real Property involving Five Parcels Located at the Southeast Corner of Atlantic Avenue and Santa Ana Street, APN Nos. 6224-018-912, 6224-018-915, 6224-018- 913, 6224-018-914, 6224-018-911, collectively known as “Site 2”; and Adoption of Resolution No. 25-41 authorizing an amendment to the Agreement between the City of Cudahy and Primestor Development, Inc. authorizing a time extension; and Adoption of Resolution No. 25-42 declaring the City’s intent to sell Site 2
RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Hear a presentation from City staff; and
2. Adopt Resolution No. 25-41 (Attachment A) authorizing an amendment to the Agreement between the City of Cudahy and Primestor Development, Inc. (“Primestor”), pertaining to the real property located at 4730 Santa Ana Street (APN No. 6224-018- 007) allowing a time extension; and
3. Adopt Resolution No. 25-42 (Attachment B) declaring the City of Cudahy’s (“City”) intent to sell Site 2 and setting a hearing date for August 5, 2025, in consideration of protests.
BACKGROUND
In July 2006, February 2008 and October 2009, the Cudahy Community Development Commission (“CDC”), in its then capacity of the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Cudahy, authorized the purchase of five parcels, located at the southeast corner of Atlantic Item Number
14A

Staff Report
07/15/2025 Page 2 of 5
Avenue and Santa Ana Street, APN Nos. 6224-018-912, 6224-018-915, 6224-018-913, 6224- 018-914, 6224-018-911, collectively known as “Site 2” (“Site”). Site 2 is approximately 1.02 acres and is zoned Entertainment.
In 2012, the State of California mandated the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in California. The City of Cudahy City Council elected to serve in the capacity of the successor agency to the dissolved CDC of the City of Cudahy (the “Successor Agency”). Shortly after, the Successor Agency adopted a Long-Range Property Management Plan (the “LRPMP”) as a prerequisite to the disposition of property which governs a general outline for the Successor Agency policies and procedures for property to be sold. Site 2 is a property asset of the Successor Agency.
In November 2020, the City solicited a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) for the sale of Site 2, but no proposals were received. As a result, on August 1, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 23-37, declaring Site 2 “surplus land.” Upon this declaration, the City distributed a Notice of Availability (“NOA”) in compliance with the State’s Surplus Land Act (“SLA”) guidelines. One letter of interest was received for Site 2, and after the conclusion of good-faith negotiations, the developer ultimately withdrew interest in Site 2. On April 4, 2024, the State Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) certified compliance with the SLA, allowing the City to dispose of Site 2 outside of the SLA guidelines under the condition that an affordability covenant is recorded prior to the sale.
In early 2023, the private property located at 4730 Santa Ana Street (“4730”) was solicited for sale. The 4730 property is located between the parcels that make up Site 2, effectively dividing the City-owned site. Concern was raised that if 4730 was sold and land banked, it would make Site 2 infeasible for development. Therefore, on June 30, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 23-30 authorizing the execution of a PUT Agreement (“Agreement”) with Primestor, in which Primestor would purchase 4730 to assemble a larger contiguous site and negotiate a development proposal with the City. Figure 1 below depicts an aerial of 4730 and Site 2. Primestor is the current owner of 4730. The Agreement is set to expire on July 29, 2025.
“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
07/15/2025 Page 3 of 5
Figure 1 – Site 2 Aerial
Since execution of the Agreement, City staff has worked with Primestor to discuss potential development opportunities. Concurrently, the City has held discussions with the County of Los Angeles (“County”), the owner of the adjacent and unoccupied site located at 8130 S. Atlantic Ave to facilitate a larger development project. The County has expressed a willingness to transfer this site to the City, however, this will require further consideration and final approval from the County Board of Supervisors. While the City continues maintaining discussions with the County, a clear timeline for this transfer is still to be determined.
Primestor and City staff share a mutual preference for integrating the County site into the overall project. However, due to current time constraints, Primestor desires to move forward with a development proposal that includes Site 2 and 4730, while maintaining flexibility to incorporate the County site in the future, should it become an option. Primestor has shared preliminary development project concepts that include an approximate 5,000-10,000 sq. ft. shell building for commercial use, that may be used for a restaurant with a drive-through option.
On May 15, 2025, Primestor provided written notice that is it exercising the “Put” under the Agreement to sell 4730 to the City at a total purchase price of $1,549,580 which reflects property price, capitalized cost, and annualized return. The City has since negotiated terms for a Disposition and Development Agreement (“DDA”) for the transfer and development of Site 2, which would drop the “Put” option.
DISCUSSION
City staff in conjunction with the City Attorney’s Office, have been working with Primestor to negotiate terms and conditions of the proposed transfer and development. City staff have held discussions with Primestor to produce the proposed DDA, included as Attachment C for City Council’s feedback and consideration. The DDA includes specific conditions and requirements Legend
Yellow – Site 2
Red – 4730 Santa Ana
“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
07/15/2025 Page 4 of 5
as summarized below:
• Sales Price: The City would sell/transfer Site 2 for $1.00. • PUT Agreement: The PUT Agreement, and related extensions, would be terminated in exchange for the executed DDA.
• Project Design: Primestor would be required to develop the project site in a manner that allows future integration of the County site.
• Entitlements: Obtain the required entitlements, and environmental review, to develop the site. This may include amendments to the zoning code to allow certain development components, such as a drive-through.
• Schedule of Performance: Outlines obligations to complete the development within the established timeframes for entitlement processing, environmental review, building plan check, and construction.
As noted above, the PUT Agreement is set to expire on July 29, 2025, and a time extension is necessary to allow adequate time for the execution of the DDA. Since the mutual termination of the Agreement is proposed as a condition of the DDA, City staff anticipates the time extension will only be necessary through the execution of the DDA.
Next Steps
The City has completed the procedures required by the SLA, as stated above. To sell the Site, the City must hold a public hearing in accordance with California Government Code § 37420 through § 37430, to accept any written protests received from interested parties and, if no protests are received, or if the City Council votes to overrule a protest by a 4/5 majority, the City Council is required to adopt a resolution finding that the public interest and convenience require the sale of the property and proceed with the sale of the Property. The timeline is summarized below.
• Planning Commission on July 21, 2025 – Planning Commission determination finding the sale of the Site is consistent with General Plan.
• City Council meeting on August 5, 2025 – Hold a public hearing to consider the sale of the Site and receive testimony from the public and adopt a resolution finding that the public interest and convenience require the sale of Site 2, and approving the DDA with Primestor, for the sale and development of Site 2.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
07/15/2025 Page 5 of 5
The act of authorizing the execution of the DDA does not approve any new development or construction of new buildings or structures, nor does it authorize any new land uses. The City has not determined the full scope or scale of the environmental review that will be required for the Project pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). The authorization of the DDA is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the “common sense” exemption, which states that, where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question will have a significant impact on the environment, the activity is exempt from CEQA. As described in the DDA, Primestor is responsible for obtaining all applicable land use approvals, which include environmental clearance under CEQA.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Notably, the City shall sell Site 2 to Primestor for the purchase price of $1.00. There is no additional cost to the City beyond normal staff time.

STAFF REPORT
Date: July 15, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Alfonso Noyola, City Manager
By: Ray Casey, Senior Engineer
Subject: Approval of Professional Services Agreement (PSA) to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) for Environmental and Design Engineering Services for Salt Lake Avenue Pedestrian Accessibility - ATP Cycle 6 -ATPL5369(017)
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to award a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) to provide design phase engineering services for the preparation of PS&E Plan, Specifications, and Estimates for the Cudahy Salt Lake Avenue Pedestrian Accessibility – ATP Cycle 6 Project – Project No. ATPL-5369(017) (Project), not to exceed $750,550.
BACKGROUND
1. In June 2022, City staff submitted an application for $7,125,000 in Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 6 grant funds for the Cudahy Salt Lake Avenue Pedestrian Accessibility Project.
2. In May 2023, Caltrans released the listing of projects approved for funding under the ATP Cycle 6, including the City of Cudahy project with a total project cost of $7,125,000.
3. In March 2024, Caltrans authorized the funds for the first phase of this project (environmental studies and planning), and authorized the City to proceed with the project activities.
4. On October 3, 2024, the City sent out a Request for Proposals (RFP) to provide professional engineering services for Cudahy Salt Lake Avenue Pedestrian Accessibility – ATP Cycle 6 Project – Project No. ATPL-5369(017).
Item Number

07/15/2025 Page 2 of 4
5. On October 30, 2024, one (1) firm submitted a proposal, Ultra Systems, for the requested engineering services. Since the project included ATP funds through Caltrans, City staff consulted with Caltrans staff, and was advised to re-advertise the project since the City only received one proposal.
6. On January 20, 2025, the City sent out a new Request for Proposals (RFP) to provide professional engineering services for Cudahy Salt Lake Avenue Pedestrian Accessibility – ATP Cycle 6 Project – Project No. ATPL-5369(017).
7. On March 19, 2025, two (2) firms submitted proposals, Kimley Horn and Ultra Systems, for the requested engineering services. The proposals were evaluated based on the established criteria identified in the RFP, including compliance with the RFP requirements, project understanding, approach, experience of assigned staff, similar project experience, schedule efficiency, and references.
ANALYSIS
The City was awarded $7,125,000 of Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 6 grant, with no local match required. The scope of work consists of widening the existing sidewalk along the east side of Salt Lake Avenue between the north city limit and the south city limit to facilitate pedestrian activity on the Salt Lake Corridor within the City's jurisdiction while meeting ADA requirements. The project focuses on providing pedestrian access to the Gateway Line Extension, formerly known as the West Santa Ana Branch Project (GATEWAY LINE). Stations are planned to be located just north and south of Cudahy City limits. The proposed project will connect both stations via a new concrete sidewalk.
The project entails the removal and reconstruction of the existing narrow (non-ADA compliant, not pedestrian accessible) sidewalk, the removal and reconstruction of wheelchair ramps, the addition of medium to large curb extensions to reduce pedestrian crossing distances, while improving the crossing angle at existing skewed Intersections along the Salt Lake Avenue corridor, and adding pedestrian crosswalks at intersections to increase safety for pedestrians while providing pedestrian access to future Gateway Line stations. In addition, the project includes the installation of pedestrian lighting, wayfinding signage, traffic striping, the installation of benches for pedestrians to rest near green areas, and planting new trees to create shade, and canopies for pedestrians.
This project (including the requested environmental and design engineering services) will be funded entirely by state funds, there are no federal funds involved.
City staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to have an Engineering Consultant provide the
“Serving The People "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
07/15/2025 Page 3 of 4
environmental engineering and design engineering services necessary to provide a complete set of construction documents (plans, specifications, and estimates) approved by all involved jurisdictional and regulatory agencies and be ready for construction bidding for the improvements outlined in the RFP and attached documents, including meeting all permit requirements necessary to obtain a permit from the City of Cudahy.
On March 19, 2025, two (2) firms submitted proposals, Kimley Horn and Ultra Systems, for the requested engineering services. The proposals were evaluated based on the established criteria identified in the RFP, including compliance with the RFP requirements, project understanding, approach, experience of assigned staff, similar project experience, schedule efficiency, and references. Staff determined that the proposal submitted by Ultra Systems did not acknowledge addendum 1 issued for the project, which materially changed the requested services. Due to Ultra System’s failure to acknowledge addendum 1, its proposal is deemed non-responsive. Staff determined that the proposal from Kimley-Horn demonstrated a clear understanding of the requested services. Kimley-Horn included several ATP funded projects as relevant experience.
Furthermore, Kimley-Horn’s proposed project manager and proposed team (including a specialized subconsultant) demonstrated relevant ATP project experience.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a contract services agreement with Kimley-Horn as the most qualified consultant, to provide design phase engineering services for the preparation of PS&E Plan, Specifications, and Estimates for the Cudahy Salt Lake Avenue Pedestrian Accessibility – ATP Cycle 6 Project – Project No. ATPL-5369(017) (Project), for a total amount not to exceed $750,550 and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.
CONCLUSION
If the City Council approves, City staff will execute the Professional Services Agreement with Kimley-Horn and issue a Notice to Proceed.
STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
GOAL E (City Infrastructure and Service Delivery), Objective:
1. Ensure high-quality infrastructure to continue multimodal connectivity throughout the community.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Project will be funded 100% with ATP Cycle 6 grant funds, and there is no local match required. These funds are already incorporated into the City’s approved CIP Budget for FY 25/26.

Words Remaining: 4
PROJECT / APPLICATION NUMBER: 1
SUMMARY OF PROJECT SCOPE: (Max of 300 Words)
(Summary of the Existing Condition, Project Scope, the Expected Benefits) Project scope of work consists of widening the existing sidewalk (4 ft) along the east side of Salt Lake Avenue to allow pedestrian activity on the Salt Lake Corridor of the City's jurisdiction while meeting ADA requirements. The project focuses on providing pedestrian access to the West Santa Ana Branch Project (WSAB) upcoming stations to be located just north and south of Cudahy City limits. The first station is to be located at Salt Lake Ave and Florence Avenue in the City of Huntington Park and the second station will be located just south of Patata Street in the City of South Gate. The proposed project will connect both stations via new concrete sidewalk. Additionally, the project would allow residents to use the avenue as a pedestrian route for Teresa Hughes Elementary School and the proposed KIPP Charter School, a K-12 school already under construction and within one mile of the avenue.
The project entails the removal and reconstruction of the existing narrow (non-ADA compliant, not pedestrian accessible) sidewalk, the removal and reconstruction of wheelchair ramps, addition of medium to large curb extensions to reduce pedestrian crossing distance while improving the crossing angle at existing skewed intersections along Salt Lake Avenue corridor, and adding pedestrian crosswalks at intersections to increase safety for pedestrians while providing pedestrian access to future WSAB stations. In addition, the project includes the installation of pedestrian lighting, wayfinding signage, traffic striping, installation of benches for pedestrians to rest near green areas, planting new trees to create shade, and canopies for pedestrians.
Project expected benefits is converting a currently inaccessible, non-ADA compliant avenue into a a new pedestrian sidewalk that would create a pedestrian route for two WSAB stations, as well as a route for Teresa Hughes Elementary and proposed KIPP Charter School.

Project Benefits (If more space is needed, use the Additional Information field on the next page.) Pedestrian accessibility and compliance throughout Salt Lake Avenue. Street widening project would activate Salt Lake Avenue by turning it into a pedestrian route while also mitigating pedestrian injuries and fatalities. Salt Lake Avenue would connect the western N-S boundaries of the City and would increase pedestrian activity to Teresa Hughes Elementary School, Lugo Park, and two proposed WSAB transit stations.
Purpose and Need
Currently, Salt Lake Avenue is too narrow. This makes the street inaccessible to pedestrian activity. This is seen by the low pedestrian volume as well as pedestrian fatalities and injuries that has occurred on this street. The purpose of this project is to activate Salt Lake Avenue as a Category

Cudahy is a fully disadvantaged City defined by any metric. The median household income is $45,000 while all census tracts in the CalEnviroScreen scores as disadvantaged.
The City only has two major avenues, Atlantic Avenue, and Salt Lake Avenue. Salt Lake Avenue is considered to be inaccessible to pedestrians due to the street being too narrow. Therefore half of the City's major avenues is considered inaccessible by pedestrians.

This problem is exacerbated since Salt Lake Avenue is a route taken by students of Teresa Hughes Elementary School. The route is considered unsafe, which discourages residents from taking this route. Moreover, future developments such as the KIPP Charter School, currently under construction, and next to Salt Lake Avenue, as well as the two WSAB stations on Florence and Firestone make Salt Lake Avenue a top priority street for the City to make accessible for its residents. Both WSAB stations are along Salt Lake Avenue. Therefore, converting it to a pedestrian friendly street is crucial to ensure pedestrians have access to both these stations.
No displacement will occur due to this project. Residential areas will not be disturbed. Sidewalks would only be enhanced that benefits residents adjacent to Salt Lake Avenue, as it now provides an additional route for them to use. Connecting the N-S portion of Cudahy via our second major avenue (Salt Lake Avenue) will substantially benefit pedestrians and those who will be using it to access major future developments that will impact the region.
2. Explain how the disadvantaged community residents will have physical access to the project. (Max of 500 Words)
Widening Salt Lake Avenue would activate the street to be a pedestrian route to schools, parks, and future transit stations. Currently, the street is too narrow which makes it a physical hazard that deters pedestrians from using that street. Moreover, installing ADA compliant wheelchair ramps will ensure that individuals with disabilities can physically access the whole avenue.

3. Illustrate and provide documentation for how the project was requested or supported by the disadvantaged community residents.
Address any issues of displacement that may occur as a result of this project, if applicable. (Max of 500 Words) Words Remaining: 411
The project was identified in the City's Safe Routes to School Plan that took feedback from the community, key stakeholders, and schools regarding developing recommendations to have safe, accessible pedestrian routes to schools. Widening Salt Lake Avenue and making it a pedestrian accessible street was identified as a priority, specifically along the intersections of Salt Lake St. & Santa Ana St., and Salt Lake St. & Otis Ave. The attachment below provides the community outreach component of the SRTS as well as the needs Teresa Hughes Elementary Hughes identified.
