STAFF REPORT
Date: March 3, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Christopher R. Lopez, City Manager/Executive Director By: Richard Iglesias, City Clerk
Subject: Consideration to Review and Approve the Draft Minutes of January 20, 2026, and February 17, 2026, 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 January 20, 2026, and February 17, 2026.
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 January 20, 2026, and February 17, 2026.
STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
No correlation to the strategic plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
No Financial Impact.

ANALYSIS
The Cudahy Park Renovation Project represents a comprehensive capital improvement effort intended to enhance the recreational, aesthetic, and functional quality of one of the City’s most heavily utilized public spaces.
In 2022, the City was awarded $6,902,951.00 from Prop 68 through the State of California Natural Resources Agency. At that time, the estimated cost of the proposed project would have been covered through this grant award. However, for more accurate and current pricing, an updated engineer’s estimate was conducted in May of 2025 totaling the overall current cost of the project at $10,600,000. The cost increased significantly due to construction cost increases experienced over the past several years, driven by inflation in materials, labor shortages, and market conditions affecting public works projects statewide. To address this shortfall, Staff phased the project into two phases intending to deliver the highest priority elements of the project within Phase 1 while performing value engineering to separate elements of the project into Phase 2, which consists of finding ways to reduce costs while keeping the project’s main goals intact. This includes the possibility of doing in-housework to save cost, reducing quantity amounts by removing or simplifying features that don’t serve essential functions, and/or replacing high costs materials with durable lower cost alternatives.
The awarded grant amount of $6,902,951.00 from Prop 68 will cover construction costs, construction contingency, CMCI, and soft costsfor Phase 1 improvements. For Phase 2, the City submitted a grant application in October 2025 to the Regional Parks and Open Space District (RPOSD) under Measure A, in an amount of $1,687,253. If awarded, this grant would fund certain elements of Phase 2, which includes bio-filtration basins, permeable/porous concrete walkway, general water irrigation system, drought adaptive trees and native shrubs, LED baseball field lights, and EV charging stations. The City anticipates hearing from the grant administrator within the first quarter of 2026. This grant award would not cover all aspects of Phase 2 so the City is currently coordinating with Willdan, design engineering consultant, to provide an updated engineers estimate for Phase 2, with new proposed cost saving measures, to determine how much additional funding would be needed to complete the project. The City anticipates receiving this updated engineer’s estimate by March 2026.
“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
03/03/2026 Page 3 of 6
Once the revised engineering estimate for Phase 2 is received, the City will continue to actively pursue additional funding to close the budget gap and ensure that the full project can be delivered.
For Phase 1, the project scope of work includes all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and related components required to complete a full renovation of significant park areas and amenities. The project will deliver major upgrades designed to increase park safety, expand recreational opportunities, and support long-term community use. The work encompasses the construction of a new skatepark, resurfaced and reconstructed sports courts, including basketball, tennis, and pickleball courts, and the installation of a modern children’s playground.
Additionally, the project introduces a new water play splash pad to support expanded family recreation and summer programming and an outdoor fitness area equipped with exercise stations that will broaden the park’s active recreation options for residents.
The project also includes renovation of existing park lighting and electrical systems that will improve safety, reduce energy consumption, and ensure that lighting infrastructure is compatible with future technology upgrades. The landscaping and irrigation systems will also be refurbished to improve water efficiency, restore plant health, and enhance the visual environment of the park.
New site furnishings and amenities such as benches, trash receptacles, picnic elements, and other user-comfort features will be furnished and installed to ensure the park meets contemporary standards for accessibility, durability, and user experience.
Completion of the Cudahy Park renovation project will address aging infrastructure, modernize recreational facilities, and create a safer, more engaging environment for community members. The improvements are expected to increase park utilization, support community health and wellness goals, and extend the lifespan of City Park assets through modernized systems and materials.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) is a statute that requires state and local agencies to identify the significant environmental impacts of their actions and to avoid or mitigate those impacts, if feasible. CEQA applies to certain activities that affect the environment ofstate and local public agencies. A public agency must comply with CEQA when it undertakes an activity defined by CEQA as a "project." A project is an activity undertaken by a public agency or a private activity that must receive some discretionary approval (meaning that the agency has the authority to deny the request) from a government agency, which may cause either a direct physical change or a reasonably foreseeable indirect change in the environment.

INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS IB-2
uncertain for any cause, or is omitted, or if the unit price is the same amount as the entry in the “extended amount” column, then the amount set forth in the “extended amount” column for the item shall prevail in accordance with the following:
(1) As to lump-sum items, the amount set forth in the “extended amount” column shall be the unit price.
(2) As to unit price items, the amount set forth in the “extended amount” column shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the item set forth in the Bid documents, and the price thus obtained shall be the unit price.
In case of discrepancy between words and figures, the words shall prevail.
COMPETENCY OF BIDDERS. In evaluating the Bidder responsibility, consideration will be given not only to the financial standing, but also to the general competency of the Bidder for the performance of the Project. Each Bidder shall set forth in the designated area of the Bid form a statement of its experience. No Contract will be executed with a Bidder that is not licensed and registered with the DIR in accordance with State law, and with any applicable specific licensing requirements specified in these Contract Documents. These licensing and registration requirements for Contractors shall also apply to all Subcontractors.
BIDDER’S EXAMINATION OF SITE AND CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. Each Bidder must carefully examine the Project site and the entirety of the Contract Documents. Upon submission of a Bid, it will be conclusively presumed that the Bidder has thoroughly investigated the Work and is satisfied as to the conditions to be encountered and the character, quality, and quantities of Work to be performed and materials to be furnished. Upon Bid submission, it also shall be conclusively presumed that the Bidder is familiar with and agrees to the requirements of the Contract Documents, including all Addenda. No information derived from an inspection of records or investigation will in any way relieve the Contractor from its obligations under the Contract Documents nor entitle the Contractor to any additional compensation. The Contractor shall not make any claim against the City based upon ignorance or misunderstanding of any condition of the Project site or of the requirements set forth in the Contract Documents. No claim for additional compensation will be allowed which is based on a lack of knowledge of the above items. Bidders assume all risks in connection with performance of the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, regardless of actual conditions encountered, and waive and release the City with respect to any and all claims and liabilities in connection therewith, to the extent permitted by law.
TRADE NAMES OR EQUALS. Requests to substitute an equivalent item for a brand or trade name item must be made by written request submitted no later than the date specified in Section 4-6 of the General Provisions. Requests received after this time shall not be considered. Requests shall clearly describe the product for which approval is requested, including all data necessary to demonstrate acceptability.
DISQUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS. No Person shall be allowed to make, file or be interested in more than one Bid for the Project, unless alternate Bids are specifically called for. A Person that has submitted a sub-bid to a Bidder, or that has quoted prices of materials to a Bidder, is not thereby disqualified from submitting a sub-proposal or quoting prices to other Bidders or from making a prime Bid. If there is a reason to believe that collusion exists among the Bidders, all affected Bids will be rejected.
RETURN OF BID SECURITY. The successful Bidder’s Bid security shall be held until the Contract is executed. Bid security shall be returned to the unsuccessful Bidders within a reasonable time, which in any case shall not exceed sixty (60) Days after the successful Bidder has signed the Contract.
AWARD OF CONTRACT. The City reserves the right to reject any or all Bids or any parts thereof or to waive any irregularities or informalities in any Bid or in the bidding. The Contract award, if made, will be to the lowest responsible, responsive Bidder and is anticipated to occur within sixty (60) Days after the Bid opening. The Contract award may be made after that period if the selected Bidder has not given the City written notice of the withdrawal of its Bid.
DETERMINATION OF LOWEST BID. In accordance with Public Contract Code Section 20103.8, the lowest Bid shall be determined as indicated in Section B - BID.
LISTING SUBCONTRACTORS; SELF-PERFORMANCE. Each Bidder shall submit a list of the proposed Subcontractors on the Project, as required by the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act (Public Contract Code Section 4100, et seq.). Contractor shall self-perform not less than Cudahy Park Renovation Project, Project # PRE-001 Document Control 6 of 1214 Page 36 of 1692

Additionally, the selected Bidder shall also secure all insurance and Bonds as herein specified, and provide copies to the City, within fifteen (15) Days from the date of delivery of the Contract Documents to the Bidder. Failure or refusal to execute the Contract or to conform to any of the stipulated requirements shall be just cause for the annulment of the award and forfeiture of the Bidder’s security.
In such event, the City may declare the Bidder’s security forfeited to the extent permitted by law, and the City may award the Contract to the next lowest responsible Bidder or may reject all bids. All costs incurred by the selected Bidder prior to Contract award and execution of the Contract by the City shall be at the Bidder’s sole risk. City shall have no liability for costs incurred prior to its execution of the Contract.
SIGNATURES. The Bidder shall execute all documents requiring signatures and shall cause to be notarized all documents that indicate such a requirement. Bids submitted as joint ventures must so state and be signed by each joint venturer. The Bidder shall provide evidence satisfactory to the City, such as an authenticated resolution of its board of directors, a certified copy of a certificate of partnership acknowledging the signer to be a general partner, or a power of attorney, indicating the capacity of the person(s) signing the Bid to bind the Bidder to the Bid and any Contract arising therefrom. Alternatively, Bids submitted by corporations must be executed as specified in Corporations Code Section 313, and Bids submitted by partnerships must be executed by all partners comprising the partnership.

EMPLOYMENT OF APPRENTICES. Attention is directed to Sections 1777.5, 1777.6 and 1777.7 of the California Labor Code and Title 8, California Administrative Code, Section 200 seq. to ensure compliance and complete understanding of the law regarding apprentices. The Contractor and any subcontractor under him shall comply with the requirements of said sections in the employment of apprentices; however, the Contractor shall have full responsibility for compliance with said Labor Code section, for all apprenticeable occupations, regardless of any other contractual or employment relationships alleged to exist. In addition to the above State Labor Code Requirements regarding the employment of apprentices and trainees, the Contractor and all subcontractors shall comply with Section 5 a. 3, Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (29CFR).
CONFLICT OF INTEREST. In the procurement of supplies, equipment, construction and services by sub-recipients, the conflict-of-interest provision including, but not limited to, 2 CFR part 200, Subpart B, 200.112, 24 CFR Part 570.611 and 24 CFR part 85, Section 85.36 (b), respectively, shall apply. No employee, officer or agent of the sub-recipient shall participate in selection or in award of administration of a contract supported by Federal funds if a conflict of interest, real or apparent, would be involved.

Requests for clarification received after this date will be disregarded. Please indicate the Project and identification number in the request for clarification. Telephonic requests will not be taken.

The City reserves the right, without notice to the Surety, to increase or decrease the quantity of any item or portion of the Work described in the Contract Documents or to alter or omit portions of the Work so described, as may be deemed necessary or expedient by the City Engineer, without in any way making the Contract void. Such increases, alterations or decreases of Work shall be considered and treated as though originally contracted for, and shall be subject to all the terms, conditions, and provisions of the original Contract. The Contractor shall not claim or bring suit for damages, whether for loss of profits or otherwise, on account of any decrease, alteration, or omission of any kind of Work to be done.
The plans for the work show conditions as they are believed by City Engineer to exist, but is not intended or to be inferred that the conditions as shown thereon constitute a representation by the City that such conditions are actually existent, nor shall the City be liable for any loss sustained by the Contractor as a result of any variance of the conditions as shown on the plans and the actual conditions revealed during the progress of the work or otherwise. The word "conditions" as used in this paragraph includes, but is not limited to, site conditions, both surface and subsurface.
The Contractor shall examine the site, compare it with the drawings and specifications and shall satisfy itself as to the conditions under which the work is to be performed. The Contractor shall ascertain and check the location of all existing structures, utilities and equipment which may affect its work. The Contractor shall be responsible to re-examine the site, as necessary, for performance of change orders or other proposed changes which may affect its work.

New and unforeseen work will be classified as Extra Work only when the Work is not covered and cannot be paid for under any of the various items or combination of items for which a Bid price appears on the Bid. The Contractor shall not do any Extra Work except upon written order from the City Engineer.
For extra work and change orders the following percentages shall apply:
Cudahy Park Renovation Project, Project # PRE-001 Document Control 51 of 1214 Page 81 of 1692 GENERAL PROVISIONS GP-4
a. LABOR COSTS
1. Labor markup for employer taxes standard federal/state rates, approximately: 10%
2. Labor markup for fringe benefits (if fringe benefits are not included in the labor cost: 15%
3. Labor overhead markup: 10%
4. Profit markup: 10%
b. MATERIAL, EQUIPMENT, SUBCONTRACTOR COSTS

After the total amount is established by adding the above items, an additional 2% markup for INSURANCE AND BONDING COSTS will be allowed.
The subcontractor costs shall be established using the same cost accounting principal above.
The markups mentioned hereinafter shall include, but are not limited to, all costs for the services of superintendents, project managers, timekeepers and other personnel not working directly on the change order, and pickup or yard trucks used by the above personnel, and other vehicles and/or equipment present at the job site but not directly used in actual construction activities. Incidental movements of labor, materials, supplies or equipment shall not be considered as use in actual construction activities. These costs shall not be reported as labor or equipment elsewhere, except when actually performing work directly on the change order and then shall only be reported at the labor classification of the work performed.
The City shall not pay for the cost of foremen or vehicles used by foremen unless authorized in advance by the Engineer.
2-10 DISCREPANCIES IN CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
Any discrepancies, conflicts, errors, or omissions found in the Contract Document shall be promptly reported in writing to the Engineer, who will issue a correction in writing. The Contractor shall not take advantage of any such discrepancies, conflicts, errors, or omissions, but shall comply with any corrective measures regarding the same prescribed by the Engineer, and no additional payment or time shall be allowed therefor, except as provided in the Standard Specifications. If discrepancies are discovered between the drawings and the specifications, and no specific interpretation is issued prior to the bidding, the decision regarding this interpretation shall rest with the Engineer. The Contractor shall be compelled to act on the Engineer’s decision as directed. In the event the installation is not in compliance with the direction of the Engineer, the installation shall be corrected by and at the expense of the Contractor at no additional cost to the City.
In case of such discrepancies on the plan sheets, it is assumed that the bid included the cost for implementing/constructing the discrepancy that would have the highest dollar value. 2-11 ERRORS AND OMISSIONS
If the Contractor, in the course of the work, becomes aware of any claimed errors or omissions in the contract documents or in the City's field work, it shall immediately inform the Engineer. City Engineer shall promptly review the matter, and if he/she finds an error or omission has been made, he/she shall determine the corrective actions and advise the Contractor accordingly. If the corrective work associated with an error or omission increases or decreases the amount of work called for in the Contract, the City shall issue an appropriate Change Order. After discovery of an error or omission by the Contractor, any related work performed by the Contractor shall be done at its risk unless authorized by the Engineer.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, an adjustment to the Contract time by reason of a Change Order shall be agreed to at the time the Change Order is issued and accepted by Contractor. If the Change Order does not reserve the right of the parties, or either of them, to seek an adjustment to the Contract time, then the parties forever relinquish and waive such right and there shall be no further adjustments to the Contract time.
No extension of time will be granted for any event, including pandemics, leading to the issuance of a “stay at home” or similar kind of order by any local, State, or federal governmental authority, if the Work has been deemed, either by emergency order or proclamation, or operation of law, to be an essential service that is exempt from such stay at home or similar order.

In executing such Bonds, the Sureties shall be deemed to have expressly agreed to any such extensions of time. The amount of time allowed by an extension of time shall be limited to the period of the delay giving rise to the same as determined by the City.

Any accepted delay claim shall be fully compensated for by an extension of time to complete the performance of the Work.
This Section shall not apply to compensable delays caused solely by the City. If a compensable delay is caused solely by the City, the Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order that:
(1) extends the time for completion of the Contract by the amount of delay caused by the City; and (2) provides equitable adjustment, as determined by the City, to the Contractor. 6-4.5 Delay in Obtaining Materials

In accordance with Public Contract Code Section 22300, the Contractor may request that it be permitted to substitute securities in lieu of having retention withheld by the City from progress payments when such payments become due or, in the alternative, the Contractor may request that the City make payments of earned retentions directly to an agreed upon designated escrow agent at the Contractor’s expense. If the Contractor selects either one of these alternatives, the following shall control.
7.3.2.5.1 Substitution of Securities for Performance Retention At some reasonable time before any progress payment would otherwise be due and payable to the Contractor in the performance of Work under these Contract Documents, the Contractor may submit a request to the City in writing to permit the substitution of retentions with securities equivalent to the amount estimated by the City (“estimated amount of retention”) to be withheld. The Contractor shall deposit such securities with the City or may, in the alternative, deposit such securities in escrow with a State or federally chartered bank in California, as the escrow agent, at the Contractor’s expense. Such securities will be the equivalent or greater in value of the estimated amount of retention. If the Contract is modified by written Modifications or Change Orders or the Contractor otherwise becomes entitled to receive an amount more than the Contract Price at the time the securities are deposited, the Contractor shall, at the request of the City, deposit with the City or escrow agent, whichever is applicable, additional securities within a reasonable time so that the amount of securities on deposit with the City or escrow agent is equivalent or greater in value than the amount of retention the City would otherwise be entitled to withhold from progress payments due or to become due to the Contractor as the Work progresses. The City shall withhold any retention amount that exceeds the security amount until the additional securities are deposited and, if the deposit is with an escrow agent, the City has confirmation from that escrow agent of the new total value of securities. Upon satisfactory completion of the Contract, which shall mean, among other things, that the City is not otherwise entitled to retain proceeds from progress payments as elsewhere provided in the Contract or under applicable law, the securities shall be returned to the Contractor. The City shall, within its sole discretion, determine whether the amount of the securities on deposit with the City or escrow agent is equal to or greater than the amount of estimated retention of progress payments that could otherwise be held by the City if the Contractor had not elected to substitute same with securities.
7-3.2.5.2 Deposit of Retention Proceeds with an Escrow Agent Cudahy Park Renovation Project, Project # PRE-001 Document Control 68 of 1214 Page 98 of 1692 GENERAL PROVISIONS GP-21
As an alternative to the substitution of securities, as provided above, or the City otherwise retaining and holding retention proceeds from progress payments, the Contractor may request the City to make payments of retentions earned directly to an escrow agent with the same qualifications as required in Section 7-3.2.5.1 above and at the expense of the Contractor. At its sole expense, the Contractor may direct the investment of such retention payments into only such securities as mentioned in Section 7-3.2.5.4 below and shall be entitled to interest earned on such investments on the same terms provided for securities deposited by the Contractor. Upon satisfactory completion of the Contract, which shall mean when the City would not otherwise be entitled to withhold retention proceeds from progress payments had the Contractor not elected to have such proceeds deposited into escrow, the Contractor shall be allowed to receive from the escrow agent all securities, interest and payments deposited into escrow pursuant to the terms of this Section. The Contractor shall pay to each Subcontractor, not later than ten (10) Days of receipt of payment, the respective amount of interest earned, net of costs attributed to retention withheld from each Subcontractor, on the amount withheld to ensure performance of the Contractor.

If the Contractor elects to receive interest on any moneys withheld in retention by the City, then the Subcontractor shall receive the identical rate of interest received by the Contractor on any retention moneys withheld from the Subcontractor by the Contractor, less any actual pro rata costs associated with administering and calculating that interest. In the event that the interest rate is a fluctuating rate, the rate for the Subcontractor shall be determined by calculating the interest rate paid during the time that retentions were withheld from the Subcontractor. If the Contractor elects to substitute securities in lieu of retention, then, by mutual consent of the Contractor and the Subcontractor, the Subcontractor may substitute securities in exchange for the release of moneys held in retention by the Contractor. The Contractor shall pay each Subcontractor, not later than ten (10) Days after receipt of escrow moneys, the amount owed to each Subcontractor from the moneys plus the respective amount of interest earned, net of costs attributed to the retention held from each Subcontractor, on the amount of retention withheld to ensure performance of the Subcontractor.
7-3.2.5.4 Securities Eligible for Investment
Securities eligible for investment shall include those listed in Government Code Section 16430, bank or savings and loan certificates of deposit, interest-bearing demand deposit accounts, standby letters of credit, or any other security mutually agreed upon between the Contractor and the City.
