History
(Liquefied Petroleum Gas/Propane)
Environmentally Superior Cleaning"'
With the ever growing need to address environmental concerns and lo meet Federal, State and Municipal air quality requirements, there has been an increasing demand for fleets to add more low emission alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs). TYMCO has been manufacturing alternative fuel street sweepers since 1984. This experience, coupled with our well known reputation for reliability and productivity make TYMCO altemaltve fuel street sweepers the smart choice. These California Air Resources Board (CARS) verified Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (ULEV). when combined with our proven Regenerative Air System. offer the highest degree of cleaning power available on the market today, while at the same time maintaining and improving the environment.

TYMCO currently offers two forms of alternative fuel for the Model 600: Dedicated CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) and Dedicated LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) - propane, which allows both the sweeper and the chassis engines to operate on alternative fuel. making them CARB and South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAOMD) Rule 1186.1 compliant.

Street sweepers must be maneuverable in order to get to those hard-to-reach areas. The TYMCO engineered and manufactured alternative fuel powered chassis is designed to provide maximum fuel capacity on the shortest wheelbase available. TYMCO has accomplished this by designing a modular CNG fuel storage rack system and LPG tank that require minimal additional wheelbase. resulting in the tightest turning radius possible. all while providing maximum rear view visibility.

Both the CNG and LPG fuel storage areas are designed to be user friendly. Quick access for fueling, system shut-off valves and pressure reading make the operator's job easier and safer. The large capacity CNG fuel storage cylinders are enclosed for protection, and the roof enclosure is angled and sloped to allow for low hanging tree limbs. Both the CNG and LPG fuel storage areas are mounted in such a way as to allow for maximum sweeper operation. Utilizing the very latest advancements in technology, TYMCO alternative-fuel powered sweepers are specifically engineered to provide the highest degree of performance, safety, and simplicity.

On behalf of the City of Huntington Beach, I would like to acknowledge Nationwide Environmental Services for the excellent service they have provided to the residents of this City for the past decade.

In 1999, a relationship started between the City of Huntington Beach and Nationwide Environmental Services. NES was contracted to perform street sweeping services on a twice-a-month basis and the service was split in half between in-house street sweeping and NES. It did not take long to realize that the service level NES provided well exceeded the very high expectation level of the City. NES recognizes the importance of strong customer service, attention to detail, industry knowledge, and an equitable partnering approach with an agency as integral facets to a successful street sweeping program. In 2009, the City of Huntington Beach amended its contract with Nationwide Environmental Services to encompass a full street sweeping service on a twice-a-month interval. The transition to a full service contract was easily accomplished by NES and well exceeded the City's expectations.

Nationwide Environmental Services is a leader in the street sweeping industry for others to follow. I would recommend NES to any neighboring City for street sweeping services. It has truly been a pleasure to work with such dedicated professionals who share and understand the same values in public service.

Respectfully,

"Everybody's busy and it's all because of CNG," says
Werner Funk, CEO of Los Angeles-based Omnitek
Engineering. Programs supporting conversion of tax.is to compressed natural gas in Peru, he told F&F, are stimulating all sorts of economic activity. 'Tm really happy to see a government SUl)porting it like they do down there."
Which is why Omnitek has formed Omnitek Peru,
as a joint venture with local partners, to convert diesels to methane and to re-power trucks and buses with Omnitek
methane engines, possibly including new vehicles.

Industry sources estimate Lhat diesel vehicle conversions for buses during the next few years will reach at least 20,000, with truck conversions expected to reach 50,000, Omnitek says. There is a potential market of 500,000
heavy-duty engines in Peru, Funk said.

In 1999, a re~h1p started between the Qty ofHuntmgton Beacl'I and Nationwide Environmental SeMCeS. NeS was oantracted to peiform atreet &Weeping Gerviees on a twiOH-month basis and the setil'I09 was split Jn half be\.waen in-house street sweeping and NES. It did not take long to real12:e that the SSrvl¢8 level NES provided well exceeded the very high expectation level of the City. NES reoognlz.as t!m importance of strong cuatomer setvioe, attention to d&tail, ~usiry l<r!O'Wledge, and an equitable partnenng approach With an agency as intsgrm faceta b> a soocessfu1 61reet sweeping progmm. In 2000. the City of Huntington Beach amended Its contract wtth Nationwide EnVironmsntal &Hvices ,~ em:ompallll a fuil e1reet sweeping serv!OO. on a twl~,month int'enftlll. The tnmsJtlon to a full 6M'ios contract was easily ~fled by NES and well exooe<fed !he Cffy's expectanons Nationwide EnvlronmentGl $SN~ Is a loader in tfla mlreet sweeping 1nd1.1&try \'or other& to follow. I wootd recommend NES to any nai'ghboring City for l!ltreat ~ng-~. ft ha$ truly been a.pleasure to work W1fh suoh d.Kllcatoo professi<mals who share ,and u~ ~e same V.!llues In public $®Mee .Respectiul!yi

STAFF REPORT
Date: August 18, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Christopher R. Lopez, City Manager/Executive Director By: John Xie, Finance Director/City Treasurer
Subject: 90-Day Synopsis of City of Cudahy’s Financial Conditions

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to:

1. Receive and file this synopsis; and

2. Affirm, as a matter of City policy, that expenditures shall not exceed approved contract authority, purchase authority, or adopted appropriations without prior authorization through the appropriate amendment, change order, budget action, or other legally required approval process; and

3. Direct the City Manager, City Attorney, and Director of Finance to return with any contract amendments, ratifications, claims approvals, budget amendments, or other Council actions required to address the specific items identified in this report, and to provide progress updates through the regular budget cycle.

Administrative procedures and financial system controls are being implemented under the City Manager's authority as purchasing officer and the Director of Finance's authority over accounting and financial controls. Any amendment or corrective action requiring Council approval under the Municipal Code, an existing contract or applicable law will be returned to the Council.

BACKGROUND
Upon assuming office in January 2026, the City Manager identified the need for a comprehensive review of the City's financial controls, including procurement practices, contract administration, budgetary controls, and related financial systems. Given the importance and complexity of this review, the City Manager determined that the assessment Item Number
12D
Attachment F

“Serving The People "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
08/18/2026 Page 2 of 9
should be conducted in coordination with dedicated financial leadership.

Following the appointment of the Finance Director in May 2026, the Finance Department initiated a structured review of the City's financial control environment. This report presents the initial findings from that review and identifies corrective actions underway to strengthen accountability, transparency, and compliance with the City's procurement and budget requirements.

This review is intended to provide the City Council with an accurate assessment of existing conditions and establish a path toward implementing sustainable internal controls. The purpose of this report is not to assign responsibility for past practices, but to identify areas where systems, procedures, and oversight mechanisms require improvement.

This report responds to the City Manager’s request for a synopsis of the financial conditions identified during the Finance Director’s first ninety days in office. It is informational.

These conditions are not new. In April 2014 the State Controller’s Office (SCO) reviewed the City’s administrative and internal accounting controls under Government Code section 12464 (Report S14-SPA-001) attached, after concluding the City’s ability to produce reliable financial reports was questionable. The SCO found only six of seventy-nine internal-control elements (8%) adequate. The City acknowledged the findings and committed in writing to remediate them — in several instances “upon appointment of a City Treasurer.” The City previously assigned Finance Department leadership responsibility for Treasurer functions; however, the City had not maintained a sustained internal control review or a comprehensive remediation effort addressing the procurement, contract administration, and budget-control weaknesses identified by the State Controller’s Office in 2014. The current review represents the first systematic examination of these controls in many years and provides an opportunity to implement the corrective measures previously identified.

This report is limited to procurement and budget-control matters. It does not address any matter that is the subject of a separate, ongoing review.

ANALYSIS
The review identified a set of related weaknesses in how the City authorizes, budgets for, and pays for goods and services. Each is described below, followed by the common control gap underlying most of them and the remediation in progress.

A. Payments exceeding contracted or authorized amounts

“Serving The People "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
08/18/2026 Page 3 of 9
Cumulative payments to several vendors have exceeded the amounts authorized under their contracts or purchase authority:
• Transtech Engineering (contract city-engineering services) - $1,189,420 paid to date and with $721,757 remaining payable as of June 30, 2026, over half of it 121+ days past due.

A total of $1,911,177 expenditure incurred against $750,000 authorized; excess of $1,161,177 above council approved limits.
• WCA (contracted tree trimming service) - $114,386 paid to date and with $7,921 remaining payable as of June 30, 2026. A total of $122,307 expenditure incurred against $60,000 authorized; overage of $62,307.
• Yunex (contracted traffic-signal maintenance) - $166,958 paid to date and with $29,397 remaining payable as of June 30, 2026. A total of $196,355 expenditure incurred with no active agreement authorizing expenditure.
• Nationwide (contracted street sweeping service): $144,647 paid to date against $130,000 authorized; overage of $14,647.
• Willdan (contracted professional consulting services): $20,637.50 paid to date and with $8,565 remaining in payable as of June 30, 2026. A total of $29,202.50 expenditure incurred against $10,000 per year authorized; overage of $19,202.50.

The same pattern appears in construction. On the Atlantic Avenue Complete Streets project (STR-003), billings reached $5,287,768.38 against an authorized contract amount of $5,239,746.73 — $48,021.65 over the ceiling — driven by unit-price quantity overruns billed without change orders and by pending change orders (approximately $192,000) billed as complete before execution. These items are being handled through the contract’s dispute process.

B. Services rendered under no executed contract
The review found payments for services for which no executed written agreement could be located — the same condition the SCO identified in 2014, when it recommended the City use vendor 1099 reports to identify vendors paid without a contract. Without an executed agreement in the City’s records, the City lacks documented terms for scope, price, insurance, and indemnification, and compliance with Municipal Code contracting and Council-approval requirements cannot be established.

C. Weak controls over construction change orders and project costs Beyond the payment overages described in (A), the review found recurring weaknesses in how the City authorizes, pays, and closes out construction change orders:
• Change orders billed before execution. On the Atlantic Avenue Complete Streets project (STR-003), pending change orders (approximately $192,000) were billed as complete before they were signed, and unit-price items were billed beyond their bid quantities

“Serving The People "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
08/18/2026 Page 4 of 9
without a change order authorizing the overrun.
• Contracts grown substantially through cumulative change orders. On the LA River Area Improvements project (ABP-001), the contract grew from $3,793,293 to $4,804,894 — a 27% increase — through nine change orders.
• Change orders paid outside the progress-billing process, without a reconciling review.

On that same project, change orders were paid 100% on separate check requests rather than through the progress pay applications, and the applications did not display the offsetting deduction until a later application. Nothing reconciled the separately paid change orders against the progress billing at the time of payment. A full reconciliation confirmed the contract ultimately tied out with no net overpayment; the finding is the absence of the reconciling control — which created double-payment risk and caused the payments to present as an overpayment until reconciled — not a loss. • Scope added by change order rather than competitively procured. A single change order added approximately $897,518 of work — about 24% of the base contract — as additional maintenance scope rather than through separate procurement, raising a competitive-bidding question under the Public Contract Code and the City's Purchasing Policy.

The common thread is that the contracts exist and the work was largely performed, but the authorization, change-order, and closeout controls around them were not enforced at the time of payment. These are being addressed through change-order authorization tiers, a three-way match, mandatory retention tracking, and a requirement that change orders route through the same encumbrance and review as base contracts — all within the Financial Policies Manual and the City's financial system.

D. Capital-improvement expenditures without appropriation Capital-improvement expenditure has been incurred without corresponding appropriation in the adopted budget. Because the adopted budget is the Council’s legal grant of spending authority, capital spending outside it proceeds without the appropriation the law requires and outside the Council’s capital-planning decisions.

E. Appropriations exceeded without a budget amendment
In one or more funds, expenditures exceeded adopted appropriations without a Councilapproved budget amendment. This represents budgetary noncompliance and mirrors the 2014 finding in which the General Fund overspent by roughly $1.3 million with no amendment adopted.

F. The underlying cause: purchase-order encumbrance requirements were not consistently used or enforced

“Serving The People "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
08/18/2026 Page 5 of 9
Most of the conditions above share one root cause. Payments to these vendors are processed through direct check requests rather than through purchase orders that encumber the contract amount. Because nothing in the financial system reserves funds against a contract ceiling or blocks a payment that would exceed it, an overage becomes visible only after the money is spent — which is also why several items were brought to the Council for authorization after the fact rather than before. Related weaknesses include change orders approved or billed without the authorization level the Municipal Code and contract require, and vendor records missing W-9s and 1099 designations, which is the very data needed to detect vendors paid without a contract.

G. Credit Card administration and compliance
The City has an adopted purchasing-card policy, authorized by Resolution No. 12-10 (2012) and amended by Resolution No. 21-44 (2021), with a written Credit Card User Policy and signed user agreements on file. The condition identified is not the absence of a policy but its administration. The policy assigns the Finance Director responsibility for the timely reconciliation of card accounts, the monitoring of card usage, and record retention, and it sets specific requirements — receipts submitted to the expense portal within three business days, a $5,000 per-purchase limit consistent with the Purchasing Policy, no splitting of purchases to evade that limit, and, under Resolution No. 21-44, no more than five authorized users. The reconciliation and monitoring that the policy assigns to Finance had not been performed on a regular basis. Finance is now performing reconciliation and monitoring, and is strengthening the policy — codifying transaction limits, automating receipt capture and review, and adding periodic audit — as part of the Financial Policies Manual. The same resolution authorizes the City's lines of credit and sets parallel controls, including at least two signatures on any drawdown and a five-user limit; compliance with those controls is being confirmed as part of this review.

H. Risk Issues Associated with Identified Concern Areas The conditions described above are correctable, but left unaddressed, they carry real exposure for the City. The risks if no actions are taken are as follows:
• Fiscal exposure- Paying above authorized amounts and outside the adopted budget creates liabilities the City did not plan for. Past-due balances -such as the vendor payables outstanding more than 120 days at June 30, 2026 - also expose the City to promptpayment interest, an avoidable cost caused by process rather than by the underlying obligation.
• Legal and contractual exposure- Paying for services under no executed agreement leaves the City without agreed scope, price, insurance, or indemnification, so it bears risks it would ordinarily transfer to the vendor. Adding scope by change order rather than through competitive procurement raises exposure under the Public Contract Code, and

“Serving The People "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
08/18/2026 Page 6 of 9
exceeding an appropriation without a budget amendment is inconsistent with California budget law.
• Audit and external-review exposure- Because these are previously identified control weaknesses, their recurrence increases the likelihood of audit findings and of a repeat of the heightened external scrutiny the City experienced in 2014. Where the affected spending is grant-funded, inadequate documentation or non-competitive procurement can place the associated grant revenue at risk of disallowance and repayment. • Continuing internal-control exposure- Until purchase-order encumbrance, a three-way match, and routine reconciliation are fully in place, overages, duplicate payments, and errors will continue to be detectable only after payment rather than prevented before it.

The exposure is ongoing, not historical.
• Governance and public-confidence exposure- A pattern of seeking authorization after funds are committed erodes the Council's budgetary authority and the public's confidence that spending is controlled. Bringing these conditions forward, and correcting them, is what restores both.

Control area 2014 SCO review (S14-SPA-001) Condition in the 90-day review (FINDING 10)
The point is not that today’s figures equal 2014’s. It is that these are previously identified, previously acknowledged control weaknesses that were not durably remediated — and are now being corrected.

Remediation in progress
The Finance Department is not waiting on this report to act. A comprehensive Financial Policies Manual — eight modules covering roughly three dozen policies — is currently being reviewed, updated, and implemented as the City’s internal-control framework; the first module (accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll) is drafted, and the policies most relevant to the conditions above are prioritized. These include a purchasing and contract-administration policy that requires an executed contract before payment, mandatory purchase-order encumbrance to each contract’s not-to-exceed amount, a three-way match (purchase order, receiving, invoice), and defined change-order authorization tiers; an updated travel and purchasing-card policy; and an appropriation-control and budget-amendment policy covering CIP.

In parallel, the City’s Tyler financial system is being configured to require purchase orders for designated vendors and to stop invoices that exceed the remaining encumbrance, and vendor master records are being brought current. These administrative procedures and system controls are being implemented under the City Manager’s authority as purchasing officer and the Director of Finance’s authority over accounting and financial controls. Any action requiring Council approval will be brought forward through the appropriate contract, claims, or budget process.

Next Steps

1. Confirm executed agreements and not-to-exceed amounts. Verify that each vendor and engagement identified in this report is covered by a current, fully executed agreement with a defined scope and not-to-exceed amount, and route any future change orders through the same encumbrance and review as the base contract. This closes the gap that allowed payments to run past authorized amounts and, in at least one case, without any active agreement in place.

2. Complete citywide contracts inventory. Assemble a complete inventory of active City contracts and centralize those authorized by the Council within the City Clerk's Office as the

“Serving The People "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
08/18/2026 Page 8 of 9
single system of record. A current, central repository lets staff confirm — before payment — that an executed agreement exists, what it authorizes, and how much authority remains.

3. Complete FY 24/25 Audit, and begin FY 25/26 audit. Finalize the outstanding FY 24/25 audit and begin the FY 25/26 audit to identify actual expenditures. Completing both brings the City’s financial reporting current and provides the verified figures against which the conditions in this report are measured.

4. Present required contract amendments, ratifications, or budget actions. Bring forward the contract amendments, ratifications, and budget actions needed to reconcile prior overcontract and over-appropriation amounts, incorporated into the regular budget cycle rather than as separate items.

5. Further implement budget controls in Tyler financial systems. Continue configuring the City's Tyler system to require purchase-order encumbrance for designated vendors, to reject invoices that exceed the remaining encumbrance, and to enforce budget-to-actual controls at the appropriation level. Building these controls into the system makes prevention automatic rather than dependent on manual review.

6. Complete and adopt the Financial Policies Manual. Complete and adopt, administratively, the Financial Policies Manual now being reviewed, updated, and implemented as the City's internal-control framework, prioritizing the purchasing and contract-administration, purchasing-card, and appropriation-control policies that address the conditions in this report.

7. Provide quarterly budget updates. Provide the City Council with quarterly informational updates on the City's budget position and on the progress of the corrective measures described in this report, giving the Council a regular, documented view of both spending against appropriation and the status of remediation.

CONCLUSION
The conditions described here are serious but correctable. Finance is leading the accounting and system-control work in coordination with the City Manager, City Attorney, and operating departments. Presenting the conditions now — with the 2014 record attached rather than omitted — is itself part of the correction: it places the City on a documented path back to the procurement and budget discipline it committed to a decade ago. Administrative remediation is already underway, and matters requiring Council approval will return through the appropriate contract, claims, or budget process.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
This is an informational report and requests no appropriation. The amounts identified in this

“Serving The People "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
08/18/2026 Page 9 of 9
report represent known conditions identified through the initial 90-day review. Finance will continue reconciliation of contracts, appropriations, encumbrances, and outstanding obligations and will return with any additional corrective actions requiring Council approval.

The corrective controls run on existing staff and the City's current financial system at no material added cost, and their effect is to prevent future unauthorized or over-ceiling expenditures.

Subject: Adoption of Resolution No. 26-43 Accepting Completion of the Atlantic Avenue Complete Streets Improvement Project (STR-003) and Authorizing Related Project Actions

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to adopt Resolution No. 26-43:

1. Accepting the completion of work performed by Sequel Contractors, Inc. for the Atlantic Avenue Complete Streets Project (STR-003);

2. Appropriating $438,192.74 in Measure R Local Return funds for the Sequel Contractors Inc contract to cover construction costs exceeding the previously authorized contract and contingency amount, and related project cost;

3. Authorizing the City Manager to execute Contract Change Orders No. 26 through No. 35 in the total amount of $224,433.66;

4. Authorizing the City Manager to execute the Notice of Completion and direct the City Clerk to file the Notice of Completion with the Los Angeles Recorder’s Office; and

5. Authorizing the release of the construction contract retention in the amount of $265,259.91 to Sequel Contractors, Inc.

BACKGROUND

1. In September 2024, the project design was completed by Transtech Engineers, Inc.

2. The Notice Inviting Bids was published on October 7, 2024, with a Bid Opening date set for November 13, 2024. Four (4) contractors submitted bids for the Project.

3. On December 17, 2024, City Council adopted Resolution No. 24-43, amending the Project funding, approved the Plans and Specifications, and awarded a Item Number
12F

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
10/06/2026 Page 2 of 3
Contract Services Agreement to Sequel Contractors, Inc. in the amount of $4,680,872.75.

ANALYSIS
The Atlantic Avenue Complete Streets Project (from Florence Avenue to Patata Street) scope of work included rehabilitation of pavement, raised medians with landscaping, installation of Class II bicycle lanes, new pavement striping and markings, construction of concrete bus pads and access ramps, and transit stop improvements such as new bus shelters benches, pedestrian light fixtures, bicycle racks and waste receptacles. As part of the subject project the intersections of Atlantic Avenue with Otis Avenue, Salt Lake Avenue, Wilcox Avenue, and Clara Street were improved by removal and upgrade of countdown pedestrian heads and pedestrian push button assemblies. Work also included installation of double-sided LED 4k HD programmable electronic signs, monuments and wayfinding signages.

During construction, some of the bid item quantities were adjusted based on field conditions and the original scope of work was expanded to accommodate additional work requested by the City and resolve unforeseen conditions. These changes resulted in additional contract cost of $630,819.75 as reflected in Contract Change Orders No.1 through No. 35. The original contract amount was $4,680,872.75.

Therefore, the adjusted contract amount, inclusive of the contract change orders is $5,311,692.50.

The Atlantic Complete Streets Improvement Project is funded through Metro 2015 Call for Projects (CFP), Measure R (Local Return), Measure R (Capital Reserves), Measure M, Proposition A, and SB1/RMRA funds. To date, the total cost of the project including construction, construction management and inspection and labor compliance monitoring is currently at $6,205,034.93. This total contains invoices that are outstanding and in review. During the closeout phase, there may also be additional professional services costs that are incurred. Construction costs total $5,311,692.50 requiring allocation of $162,732.75 in additional funding through Measure R Local Return funds.

All required improvements were constructed in conformance with the approved plans and specifications therefore, the project is ready to be accepted as complete.

CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. XX-XX accepting the Notice of Completion of the Atlantic Avenue Complete Streets Improvement Project (STR-003).

STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
10/06/2026 Page 3 of 3
Goal E – City Infrastructure and Services Delivery
Strategy 1: City Infrastructure and Service Delivery. Ensure high-quality infrastructure to continue connectivity throughout the community.

Strategy 3: Complete Capital Improvement Plan, which anticipates the capital needs of Cudahy over a five-year period.

Strategy 7: Complete the Atlantic Avenue Corridor Project.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost of the Atlantic Avenue Complete Streets Improvement Project (STR-003) is currently $6,205,034.93, of which $5,530,077.40 has been paid, leaving an outstanding balance of $674,957.53. This balance consists of $438,192.74 in remaining construction costs and $236,764.79 in consultant invoices that remain under review.

This action appropriates funding for the remaining construction costs only, consisting of the unpaid balance of Sequel Contractors, Inc. Pay Application No. 9, Pay Application No. 10, and retention. The consultant invoices are not included in this recommendation.

Staff will return to Council with a separate recommendation once the review is complete, if additional appropriation is needed.

Authorize an appropriation of $438,192.74 from Measure R Local Return (Fund 253) available fund balance to Account No. 253-7108-6725-000, Atlantic Avenue Complete Streets Improvement Project (STR-003).

STAFF REPORT
Date: October 6, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Christopher R. Lopez, City Manager/Executive Director Daniela Trujillo, Administrative Analyst
Subject: Receive and File a Status Update on the Clara Expansion Park Rehabilitation Project – PRE-004

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Receive and file the status update for the Clara Expansion Park Rehabilitation Project (PRE-004);

2. Acknowledge the project's current estimated funding gap of approximately $4.83 million and the September 2027 deadline associated with the Measure A Competitive Grant;

3. Direct staff to continue pursuing federal, state, county, regional, and other external funding opportunities to reduce the project's funding gap;

4. Direct staff to incorporate the Clara Expansion Park funding requirement, along with the funding requirements of other existing Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects, into the City's broader capital project funding and prioritization process; and

5. Direct staff to provide additional updates to the City Council on other active and planned CIP projects, including their respective project costs, secured and anticipated funding sources, remaining funding gaps, grant deadlines, and other funding considerations.

BACKGROUND
On March 2, 2021, the City entered into an Agreement with the Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust (LANLT) for the development and construction of improvements for parks in the City of Cudahy.

On February 10, 2022, the City was awarded a Measure A Competitive Grant through the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD) for the Clara Item Number
12G

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
10/06/2026 Page 2 of 9
Expansion Park Rehabilitation Project.

In Fiscal Year 2022/23, the LANLT was awarded a Specified Grant through the California Department of Parks and Recreation for the project. The total grant award is $5,000,000, with $3,500,000 allocated to the City of Cudahy for the Clara Expansion Park Rehabilitation Project and $1,500,000 allocated to the City of Maywood for the Maywood Riverfront Park Project.

In Fiscal Year 2021/22, the City submitted and was awarded a Per Capita Grant through the California Department of Parks and Recreation.

The project is intended to provide a comprehensive rehabilitation and expansion of Clara Expansion Park and includes improvements to existing recreational amenities, landscaping, lighting, irrigation, basketball courts, playground equipment, restrooms, and the addition of a soccer field.

PROJECT STATUS
The Clara Expansion Park Rehabilitation Project has reached 100% design completion and is currently progressing through the permitting process.

The proposed project improvements include:
• Installation of a new irrigation pump and irrigation system • Upgrades to existing gazebos
• Replacement of benches and picnic tables
• Replacement of outdoor exercise equipment
• Upgrades to playground equipment
• Resurfacing and restriping of the basketball courts
• Lighting improvements
• Landscaping improvements
• Addition of a soccer field
• Renovation of restroom facilities
Completion of the design represents a significant milestone for the project. However, the project is not currently fully funded for construction.

PROJECT FUNDING STATUS
The project currently has approximately $4.37 million in secured funding from the following sources:

Secured Funding Source Amount
Measure A Competitive Grant $680,000

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
10/06/2026 Page 3 of 9
State Parks Per Capita Grant $192,680
State Budget Allocation $3,500,000
Total Secured Funding $4,372,680
The current estimated total project cost is approximately $9.2 million, resulting in an estimated remaining funding gap of approximately $4,827,320.

Project Funding Summary Amount
Estimated Total Project Cost $9,200,000
Secured Funding ($4,372,680)
Estimated Funding Gap $4,827,320
The secured funding represents approximately 48% of the current estimated project cost, leaving approximately 52% of the project currently unfunded.

The funding gap is substantial and will need to be addressed before the City can proceed with the full construction scope contemplated by the current project estimate.

GRANT TERM AND EXTENSIONS
The City has previously obtained extensions for several of the project's funding sources in order to preserve available grant funding while the project has progressed through design, permitting, and other pre-construction requirements.

Measure A Competitive Grant – $680,000
The City has received extensions to the Measure A grant term, including an amendment executed in September 2026 extending the grant term through September 30, 2027.

Based on information provided to the City by RPOSD, no further term extension will be granted unless the City submits documentation demonstrating that the project has received full funding by September 1, 2027.

This creates a significant and time-sensitive funding deadline.

If the City is unable to demonstrate full funding by the applicable deadline, the City risks the $680,000 Measure A funding lapsing.

State Parks Per Capita – $192,680
Amendment No. 1 was executed in January 2024, extending the grant term through June 30, 2028.

State Budget Allocation – $3,500,000
Amendment No. 1 was executed in January 2026, extending the grant term through June 30, 2030.

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
10/06/2026 Page 4 of 9
The differing grant deadlines are important because, although several of the project's funding sources remain available for multiple years, the Measure A funding has a significantly more immediate deadline.

ADDITIONAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
Staff will continue to pursue external funding opportunities that may contribute toward closing the project's funding gap.

Potential funding sources currently being evaluated or pursued include:

1. Measure A Annual Allocation

2. ICARP Extreme Heat & Community Resilience Grant

3. Rivers and Mountains Conservancy/AQMD Green Space Program

4. Other federal, state, county, regional, and private grant opportunities for which the project may be eligible
Staff will evaluate each opportunity based on eligibility, funding availability, timing, matching requirements, restrictions, and the extent to which the funding can be applied toward the remaining project cost.

Given the size of the current funding gap, it is anticipated that closing the gap may require multiple funding sources rather than a single grant award.

CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDING CONTEXT
The funding challenge associated with Clara Expansion Park is not an isolated circumstance.

The City currently has multiple capital projects for which identified funding sources do not fully cover the anticipated cost of completing the project. For example, Cudahy Park is currently under construction and has a remaining funding requirement.

This creates a broader consideration for the City's capital project portfolio. The City is currently managing projects with varying levels of funding, project readiness, grant requirements, funding deadlines, and remaining financial obligations.

Some projects have been supported through combinations of grant funding, state allocations, and other identified funding sources, while the total anticipated cost of certain projects exceeds the amount of funding currently secured.

As a result, the City must consider not only the status of individual projects, but also the City's overall capacity to fund and complete its existing capital commitments.

This is particularly important as the City considers new capital projects, pursues additional grant opportunities, and evaluates potential uses of limited discretionary resources.

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
10/06/2026 Page 5 of 9
The purpose of bringing this information forward is not to delay or discontinue the Clara Expansion Park project. Rather, it is to provide the City Council with a transparent understanding of the project's current financial position and the broader funding requirements associated with the City's capital project portfolio.

CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDING AND PRIORITIZATION
The City's ability to advance capital projects depends not only on securing grant funding, but also on the City's ability to provide funding when grants require a local contribution, when grant funding does not cover the full project cost, or when project costs exceed the amount originally anticipated.

As the City considers future capital investments and funding opportunities, staff recommends that projects be evaluated within the context of the City's overall capital project portfolio and available funding capacity.

Factors that may be considered include:

Existing Commitments
Projects that have already received grant awards, appropriations, contractual commitments, or other financial commitments should be considered in the context of the City's existing obligations.

Funding Deadlines
Projects with expiring grant funding may require more immediate action to prevent previously secured funds from lapsing.

Remaining Funding Requirements
The City should have a clear understanding of the total remaining funding required to complete each project rather than evaluating only the amount of grant funding currently available.

Project Readiness
Projects that have completed design, permitting, or other pre-construction requirements may have different funding considerations than projects that remain conceptual or are in the early planning stages.

External Funding Leverage
Projects for which City funding can leverage substantially greater outside investment may be considered as part of the overall funding analysis.

Long-Term Operating Costs

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
10/06/2026 Page 6 of 9
Capital improvements may create ongoing costs associated with maintenance, utilities, staffing, programming, or replacement of equipment. These costs should be considered in addition to the initial construction cost.

Overall Fiscal Capacity
Potential capital investments should be evaluated against the City's broader financial condition and competing needs for available resources.

FUTURE CIP FUNDING UPDATES
The Clara Expansion Park Rehabilitation Project is being brought forward as part of a broader effort to provide the City Council with greater transparency regarding the City's capital project funding commitments.

Staff will provide additional updates to the City Council on other active and planned Capital Improvement Program projects and their respective funding positions.

These updates will identify, as applicable:
• Total estimated project cost
• Funding currently secured
• Funding that has been awarded but not yet received
• Anticipated or potential funding sources
• Remaining funding gap
• Grant expiration or funding deadlines
• Current project phase and readiness
• Existing contractual or financial commitments
• Potential future City funding requirements
• Other fiscal or project considerations
The purpose of these updates will be to provide the City Council with a comprehensive understanding of the City's existing capital project commitments and the resources necessary to complete them.

Providing this information in a consistent format will allow the City Council to evaluate individual projects within the context of the City's broader capital project portfolio and available funding capacity.

Staff will return with these updates on a phased basis so that the City Council can review the City's CIP portfolio and associated funding requirements in a manageable and consistent manner.

IMPORTANCE OF EARLY FUNDING IDENTIFICATION
The current situation also demonstrates the importance of identifying the complete funding strategy for major capital projects as early as possible.

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
10/06/2026 Page 7 of 9
A project may have a secured grant award and be substantially advanced in design while still requiring significant additional funding to reach construction.

For Clara Expansion Park, the City has approximately $4.37 million in secured funding, while the project has an estimated $4.83 million remaining funding requirement.

This distinction is important when evaluating the City's capital commitments.

Securing an initial grant award does not necessarily mean that a project is fully funded.

The City must also consider the total project cost, potential cost escalation, required local contributions, future operating obligations, and the availability and timing of additional funding.

Going forward, major capital projects should be evaluated with consideration of the full project funding plan, including:
• Total anticipated project cost
• Secured funding
• Unsecured or anticipated funding
• Remaining funding gap
• Grant expiration dates
• Local match requirements
• Construction and project-management costs
• Potential cost escalation
• Long-term operating and maintenance impacts
• A realistic strategy for closing any remaining funding gap

FISCAL CONSIDERATIONS
There is currently no identified funding source sufficient to close the approximately $4.83 million funding gap for the Clara Expansion Park Rehabilitation Project.

The City should therefore not assume that the existing funding sources are sufficient to complete the project.

While staff will continue to pursue external funding opportunities, the size of the remaining gap means that successful completion of the project may ultimately require a combination of external grants and City funding.

Any proposed use of City funds to close the funding gap would need to be evaluated against the City's overall financial condition, available fund balances, restricted funding, competing capital needs, ongoing operating requirements, and other Council priorities.

Staff will return to the City Council as viable funding opportunities or potential funding strategies are identified.

NEXT STEPS

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
10/06/2026 Page 8 of 9
Staff will:

1. Continue pursuing Measure A Annual Allocation and other applicable grant opportunities

2. Monitor ICARP, Rivers and Mountains Conservancy/AQMD, and other federal, state, county, regional, and private funding opportunities

3. Continue coordination with RPOSD and other grant agencies to maintain compliance with existing grant requirements

4. Continue the permitting process and maintain the project at its current level of readiness while funding opportunities are evaluated

5. Monitor project costs and update the estimated funding gap as more detailed information becomes available

6. Incorporate the Clara Expansion Park funding requirement into the City's broader capital project funding and prioritization discussion

7. Provide the City Council with additional status updates on other active and planned CIP projects, including their respective project costs, secured and anticipated funding sources, remaining funding gaps, grant deadlines, and other funding considerations.

CONCLUSION
The Clara Expansion Park Rehabilitation Project represents a significant investment in the City's park infrastructure and recreational amenities. The project has reached 100% design completion and is progressing through the permitting process.

The project currently has approximately $4.37 million in secured funding against an estimated total project cost of $9.2 million, leaving an estimated funding gap of approximately $4.83 million.

The project also has a significant near-term funding consideration. The City's $680,000 Measure A Competitive Grant has been extended through September 30, 2027, and the City has been advised that no further extension will be granted unless the City demonstrates that the project is fully funded by the applicable September 2027 deadline.

The Clara Expansion Park funding gap also illustrates a broader issue within the City's capital project portfolio. The City currently has multiple capital projects with funding requirements that exceed currently secured funding, including the Cudahy Park project that is currently under construction.

Providing the City Council with this information allows the Council to have a clear understanding of the City's existing capital funding commitments, remaining funding requirements, and time-sensitive grant obligations.

Staff will also provide the City Council with additional updates regarding other active and planned CIP projects and their respective funding positions. These updates will provide a more comprehensive picture of the City's capital project portfolio, including projects that are fully funded, partially funded, under construction, in design, or

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
10/06/2026 Page 9 of 9
otherwise require additional funding to proceed or be completed.

This approach will allow the City to remain transparent about its existing commitments while ensuring that future capital funding decisions are made with an understanding of the City's overall project portfolio, available resources, funding obligations, and longterm financial capacity. portfolio, available resources, funding obligations, and long-term financial capacity.

GRANT AGREEMENT

T. Breach
The Grantee agrees that compliance with the terms of this Agreement will have significant benefits to Los Angeles County and its constituents. Because such benefits exceed the amount of grant monies furnished under these provisions, the Grantee agrees that any breach would result in incalculable loss, and therefore, any payment by the Grantee to RPOSD of an amount equal to the amount of the grant would be inadequate compensation. In the event that the Grantee breaches any of the terms, covenants, representations, or conditions of this Agreement, RPOSD may elect to enforce any and all remedies available at law or in equity, including without limitation, any of the following:

1. Prior to payment of Grant:
a. Withdraw the Grant and terminate this Agreement; and, b. Deny the Grantee eligibility for participation in future grant program opportunities.

2. After payment (partial or full) of Grant:
a. Deny the Grantee eligibility for participation in future grant program opportunities; b. Seek specific performance of the Grantee’s obligations under this Agreement; c. Receive reimbursement in full of disbursement made under this Agreement.

If RPOSD brings an action to enforce the terms of this Agreement, the Grantee shall be responsible to pay RPOSD’s attorney’s fees and costs, including expert witness costs, if RPOSD prevails in said action.

The foregoing remedies are cumulative and may be exercised independently or in combination and are not exclusive to one another or to any other remedies available at law or in equity. In the event RPOSD must pursue any remedy hereunder and is the substantially prevailing party, RPOSD shall be awarded its costs and reasonable legal fees, including costs of collection.

U. Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, which shall, in the aggregate, be signed by all the Parties; each counterpart shall be deemed an original instrument against any party who has signed it. In the event of any disparity between the counterparts produced, the recorded counterpart shall be controlling.

V. Electronic Signature
The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act is a federal law passed in 2000. The Grantee and RPOSD agree that this Grant Agreement may be electronically signed.

The parties agree that the electronic signatures appearing on this agreement are the same as
