CITY OF CYPRESS
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 2.

FROM: Lisa Berglund, City Clerk
DATE: 02/23/2026
SUBJECT: Approval of Amendment No. 6 to an Amended and Restated Contract Services Agreement for City Attorney Services

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the attached Amendment No. 6 to the Amended and Restated Contract Services Agreement for City Attorney Services between the City of Cypress and Aleshire & Wynder, LLP.

DISCUSSION
On February 18, 2003, the City entered into an agreement for City Attorney services with Aleshire & Wynder, LLP with William Wynder serving as City Attorney. Since that date, five amendments have been approved by the City Council, the first was to restate the agreement in 2006, the second in 2008 for rate adjustments for legal services, the third in 2014 to appoint Anthony Taylor to serve as City Attorney following William Wynder’s two year leave of absence, the fourth in 2020 to appoint Fred Galante to serve as City Attorney, and the fifth in 2022 for rate adjustments for legal services.

The current amendment is to consider the assignment of William Wynder to serve as City Attorney given Fred Galante’s inability to attend Council meetings on the new dates approved by the Council. William Wynder, a founding and named partner of Aleshire & Wynder LLP, is proposed as the new primary City Attorney. Mr. Wynder has dedicated his practice to public service, representing and advising a host of cities, planning commissions, successor agencies, housing authorities, and special districts. Over the span of his 40-plus-year legal career, Mr. Wynder has specialized in the fields of municipal governance, land use & zoning law, general public law, municipal litigation, constitutional torts, and election matters. Mr. Wynder has the time and expertise to address the needs of the City of Cypress. Moreover, as a 40+ year resident of the City he and his wife have raised their seven children in the community, its schools, its sports programs, and its community activities.

Fred Galante will continue to assist in litigation matters as the Assistant City Attorney and as needed to assure a smooth transition.

BUDGET IMPACT

Mr. Wynder is one of two named partners instrumental in forming the Firm in 2003. For some 21 years since then, Mr. Wynder has dedicated his practice to public service, representing and advising a host of cities, planning commissions, successor agencies, housing authorities, and special districts. Over the span of his 40-plus-year legal career, Mr. Wynder has specialized in the fields of municipal governance, land use & zoning law, general public law, municipal litigation, constitutional torts, and election matters. Mr. Wynder has served as City Attorney in five cities, with an average tenure of close to 15 years providing legal advice to these communities. Prior to December 2023, Mr. Wynder served as the City Attorney for the cities of Glendora, nestled at the base of the scenic San Gabriel Mountains, and Rancho Palos Verdes, located on the Palos Verdes Peninsula overlooking the Pacific Ocean (you may have read about the landslide devastating this beautiful community). Last December, Mr. Wynder stepped down as a “fulltime” partner. While he continues in his role as City Attorney for the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, Mr. Wynder will work on special projects for the Firm, including such matters as assisting the City of Carson in the enforcement and collection of its Oil Industry Business License tax involving that city’s major oil refineries. Mr. Wynder is looking forward to enjoying more time pursuing his outside interests. He, and his wife Carol, are the parents of seven children and the grand-parents of 17 perfect grand-children.

REPRESENTATIVE MATTERS:

Mr. Wynder was part of a team of litigators who obtained a landmark published ruling from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversing a nearly $8 million trial verdict against firm client the City of Carson.

He further briefed and argued an appeal involving in a dispute, spanning almost 13 years, and two trips to the California Court of Appeals. In response to Bill’s arguments, the California Court of Appeals, in a published opinion reported at Carson Harbor Village v. City of Carson (2015) 239 Cal.App.4th 56, acknowledged the error of its prior opinion and ruled in favor of the City.

Mr. Wynder has extensive appellate experience and has acted as counsel (or amicus) in more than a dozen published state and federal appellate decisions, including:
218 Properties, LLC v. City of Carson (2014) 226 Cal.App.4th 182 Colony Cove Properties, LLC v. City of Carson (2013) 220 Cal.App.4th 840 Pacific Palisades Bowl Mobile Estates, LLC v. City of Los Angeles (2012) 55 Cal.4th 783 (as amicus curiae)
Colony Cove Properties, LLC v. City of Carson (9th Cir. 2011) 640 F.3d 948 Colony Cove Properties, LLC v. City of Carson (2010) 187 Cal.App.4th 1487 El Dorado Palm Springs, Ltd. v. City of Palm Springs, 96 Cal.App.4th 1153 (2002)
Mr. Wynder succeeded in expanding the protections afforded taxpayers and every public agency in California under Government Code § 1090 (one of the State’s important conflict of interest statutes).

In Carson Redevelopment Agency v. Padilla (2006) 140 Cal.App.4th 1323, the Court of Appeals extended the reach of Section 1090 to include a governmental decision to award a contract to private party defendant who was the victim of extortion by a corrupt public official (the court declared the contract void and required the private party defendant to disgorge $1 million in financial benefits back to the local municipality).

Mr. Wynder protected the independence of local administrative agencies in Carson Gardens, LLC v. City of Carson (2006) 135 Cal.App.4th 856. 1 Park Plaza, Suite 1000

CITY OF CYPRESS
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 3.

FROM: Sean Joyce, Interim City Manager
DATE: 02/23/2026
SUBJECT: Adoption of Media Relations Policy

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the attached proposed media relations policy guiding how the City will initiate and respond to media concerning city operations and City Council policy deliberations/decisions.

DISCUSSION
The City lacks a City Council-adopted policy guiding how we manage media relations and by what authority individuals are designated to speak on behalf of the organization. The broader purpose of the proposed policy is to express organizational commitment to transparency and open communication with the public. With the benefit of an explicit media relations policy, we can be agile and consistent when engaging with the media.

It is noted that adoption of a media relations policy is an objective of the strategic plan.

BUDGET IMPACT
There are no known financial implications of this policy.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

Manager

Proposed City Media Relations Policy

City Council Policy/Procedure
Media Relations
Reference: Minute Action of XXXXXXXX
Media Relations Policy

1. Purpose
The City of Cypress is committed to transparency and open communication with the public.

All media interactions must be coordinated to ensure that information is accurate, consistent, and aligned with the City’s mission and strategic goals.

This policy shall apply to all media interactions at all times, except during a declared crisis or emergency, during which media relations shall be governed by the City’s Emergency Operations Plan as noted in item 13.

2. Designated City Staff Spokespersons
The  City  Manager  serves  as  the  City’s  primary  spokesperson  and  is  responsible  for coordinating all media relations on behalf of the City of Cypress, either directly or through a designated media relations representative.

All City employees shall promptly refer all media inquiries to the City Manager, and the City Manager shall determine whether the inquiry should be addressed directly or  referred to an appropriate  department  director,  public  safety  official,  designated  media  relations representative or other subject-matter expert, as appropriate.

For  purposes  of this  policy a “designated media  relations  representative”  refers to a Public Information  Officer  (PIO)  or  communications  contractor  expressly  authorized  by  the  City Manager to act on the City’s behalf in media relations matters.

MATTERS RELATED TO PUBLIC SAFETY
For matters related to public safety, Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) representative and the City’s Police Chief may handle routine requests from the media that are within their area of expertise without prior notification of the City Manager.

To the extent practicable, OCFA’s representative and the City’s Police Chief shall notify the City Manager of significant events or issues that may be of interest to the community or media.

CITY COUNCIL SPOKESPERSON CONCERNING CITY COUNCIL POLICY The Mayor is the official spokesperson for the City Council on City policy. Because the Mayor is the designated representative of the Council to present and speak on the official City position, Councilmembers must be clear about whether comments represent the official City position or a personal viewpoint.

Council  members  are  frequently  contacted  by  the  media  for  quotes  and  background information. The following tips for communication with the media are submitted for reference:

A. After the City Council has taken a position on an issue, official correspondence should reflect this position. While Councilmembers who may disagree with a position are free to prepare correspondence on such issues; City letterhead and staff support should not be utilized.

B. Assume  you  are  always  “on the  record.” Most members  of the media  represent the highest levels of journalistic integrity and ethics and can be trusted to keep their word.

However, one bad experience could be catastrophic.

C. Choose  words  carefully  and  cautiously.  Comments  taken  out  of  context  can  cause problems. Therefore, be cautious about use of humor, sarcasm, or word play.

3. Potential Controversial Issues
Only the City Manager or the City Manager’s designated media relations representative may address  questions  from the media  on  sensitive issues, including topics that may affect City policy and/or matters that may ultimately result in Council action.

4. Release of Information
News releases shall be prepared by the City Manager or the City Manager’s designated media relations representative before they are released to the media. The City Manager will have final approval  on  all  news  releases  except  announcements  regarding  special  events  and  routine activities.

The  City  Manager  or  the  City  Manager’s  designated  media  relations  representative  are responsible  for  maintaining  media  distribution  lists  and  distributing  news  releases  to  local media outlets.
a) Exception
Police and OCFA responses to emergencies in the community may be reported directly to the media by a designated department spokesperson with the approval of the OCFA Fire  Chief  or  Police  Chief  or  their  designee. Investigations  and  routine  community relations activities may also be reported directly to the media by the designated Fire Authority or Police Department spokespersons. All news releases should also be copied to the City Manager.

5. Scope
This policy applies to all City employees, elected officials, contractors, and volunteers who may interact with the media on behalf of the City of Cypress.

6. Definitions
 Media: Includes print, broadcast, and digital outlets such as newspapers, television, radio, blogs, and social media platforms.
 Spokesperson: An individual authorized to speak to the media on behalf of the City.  Official Statement: A message approved by the City Manager for public release.

7. Roles and Responsibilities
 Mayor: Serves as the official spokesperson for the City Council on City policy.  City Manager: Serves as the primary spokesperson on behalf of the City of Cypress or designates appropriate representatives.
 Department Directors: May speak on operational matters only with prior approval of the City Manager.
 All Employees: Must refer media inquiries to the City Manager.  Designated Media Relations Representative (PIO or contractor): May speak to the media only with the prior approval of the City Manager.

8. Format
All authorized  City representatives  should  use  standard  City  of  Cypress  news  release stationery and follow City news release format to distribute information to the media. News releases shall include the name, telephone number and designated spokesperson to contact for additional information.

9. City Council Notification
News  releases  containing  controversial  or  sensitive materials  and/or matters  relating to public safety shall be distributed to the Mayor and members of the City Council prior to release to the media if practical.

10. Staff Notification of Media Inquiries
All media inquiries received by City staff shall be immediately communicated via e-mail to  the  City  Manager.  The  e-mail  should  contain  a  brief  synopsis  of  the  information communicated, the name and phone number of the reporter, the name of the media outlet, and when the story is expected to appear.

City staff should refer media inquiries to the City Manager without making comments. This is  especially  important  in  sensitive  or  controversial  situations  that  could  potentially generate negative media coverage.

If it is determined to be appropriate for the media to speak directly with City staff, the City Manager may authorize and direct the appropriate staff member to respond.

11. Release of Reports
Reports prepared by City staff for submission to the City Council shall not be shared with the media or the general public until the agenda packets have been delivered to the City Council.

12. Confidential Information
News Releases shall not contain information, which is confidential pursuant to provisions of  State  or  Federal  statutory  or  decisional law,  or which  has  been  received  by the City pursuant to  a  representation  of  confidentiality.  Documents  or information  exempt  from disclosure  pursuant  to  provisions  of  the  California  Public  Records  Act  shall  not  be contained in any news release without City Attorney approval. No City representative will release public information contrary to the provisions of the California Public Records Act, the Brown  Act, the California  Penal Code,  cases interpreting those  statutes,  or City  of Cypress policy. Any questions related to Public Records Act requests should be directed to the City Clerk’s Office and the City Attorney’s Office.

13. Guidelines
A. Litigation, Personnel, Election Issues
Due to legal and  privacy concerns, any  request  for information  related to litigation, personnel  or  election  issues  must  be  handled  by  the  appropriate  department. This information  includes  private  employee  information,  employee  disciplinary  actions, matters considered in closed sessions of City Council, certain law enforcement records, matters related to internal and external security, privileged communication records and work products of the City Attorney or special legal counsel, draft correspondence or documents, and records pertaining to litigation where the City is a party.  Media inquiries regarding pending or ongoing litigation should be referred to the City Attorney’s Office.

B. Personal Points of View
City staff members and members of boards, committees and commissions have a right to their personal points of view and the freedom to express their opinions. Any staff member that identifies themselves as an employee of the City of Cypress must clearly indicate that said opinions do not represent those of the City but are the employee’s personal  opinions. In  addition,  media  contact  made  as  a  private  citizen  may  not  be communicated or prepared on City time, stationery, equipment or in any way at City expense.

WHEREAS, the California Political Reform Act of 1974 (“Political Reform Act”), Government Code Section 81000, et seq., was amended by the voters in 1988 to impose contribution limitations for statewide offices, and authorized local jurisdictions to enact their own contribution limits or other prohibitions; and
WHEREAS, effective January 1, 2021, AB 571 establishes a default campaign contribution limit and other campaign regulations for cities and counties without local campaign contribution limits, while continuing to authorize counties and cities to establish their own contribution limits for their elective offices; and
WHEREAS, in enacting this Ordinance, the City Council finds and declares that moderate monetary contributions to political campaigns are a legitimate form of participation in the American political process. It is the policy of this City to protect the integrity of the electoral process, and to serve the best interests of the citizens of this City by regulating campaign finance; and
WHEREAS, inherent in the high cost of election campaigning is the problem of improper influence, real or potential, exercised by campaign contributors over elected officials. It is the purpose and intent of the City Council in enacting this Ordinance:

To place realistic and enforceable limits on the amounts of money that may be contributed to political campaigns in city elections.

To preserve an orderly political forum in which individuals may express themselves effectively.

To prevent the exercise by campaign contributors of potential undue or improper influence over elected officials.

To promote participation in government and foster trust that the democratic process is not subverted by affluent special interest groups.

To inform the public of the sources and objects of campaign contributions and expenditures; and

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 6.

FROM: Stephanie Sikkema, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 02/23/2026
SUBJECT: Receive and File the Investment Report for the Month Ended January 31, 2026.

RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the attached investment report.

DISCUSSION
California Government Code Section 53607 and Cypress Municipal Code Section 2-18(f) requires submission of a monthly investment report to the City Council. As of January 31, 2026, the City had $191.3 million (current market value) in cash and investments and the interest return (yield) on the public funds investments was 4.12%. As required by the Government Code, all investments are in conformity with the City's investment policy and sufficient cash flows are available to meet the next six months of estimated expenditures.

The attached Summary of Cash and Investments presents the investments held by the City of Cypress as of January 31, 2026. The Investment Reports consist of the following five summaries:

1. Summary of Cash andInvestments - Provides the total portfolio of the City.

Changes in Cash andInvestments - Provides a two-month cash flow analysis by fund type. These separate fund types allow for restricted monies to be segregated and tracked separately. The total ending amount agrees to the current market value shown in the Summary of Cash and Investments.

2. Investments at Market Value by MaturityDate - Provides a list of investments by maturity date, and an indication of the liquidity (ability to turn into cash) of the investments. The California Government Code restricts the type of investments eligible for public funds. The City’s Investment Policy further defines permitted investments. These restrictions in investment types and the terms of allowable investments result in limited yields on City investments.

3. InterfundInvestments - Indicates outstanding loans between City funds. There are currently two loans due to the City's Infrastructure Reserve Fund from the Cypress

4. Recreation and Park District General Fund related to the construction of Lexington Park and the rehabilitation of Arnold Cypress Park.

Summary of Cash and Investments Held InTrust - Presents investments held in trust by the Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) for offsetting unfunded pension liabilities. The pension trust assets can only be used to pay future pension obligations.

The legal restrictions on the allowable investment types are less restrictive than those in the City's portfolio, which provides the potential for higher yields to be earned over the long-term on investments held in the pension trust.

5. As mentioned previously, the City had $191.3 million (current market value) in cash and investments on January 31, 2026. The investments include Federal Agencies and US Treasuries Debt ($109.0 million) and Investment Pools ($81.2 million). The City's bank accounts held $1.1 million on January 31, 2026.

A portion of the investment portfolio is invested in the State Investment Pool (Local Agency Investment Fund or LAIF) which is managed by investment professionals and provides a diversified investment pool for local agencies to invest. By using the combined size of the participating cities and agencies, the State Pool can provide a competitive yield, liquidity and investment knowledge that otherwise would not be available to a single entity.

The amount of cash in the City’s checking accounts fluctuates based on the maturity of investments, daily cash receipts, and when vendors and employees are paid. The daily balances maintained in the checking accounts provide credits which offset monthly bank charges. In addition to the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) which insures the first $250,000, excess checking deposits are secured by banks, government, or mortgage securities valued between 110% and 150% of the deposits.

None.

CITY OF CYPRESS
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 7.

FROM: Stephanie Sikkema, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 02/23/2026
SUBJECT: Receive and File Register of Warrants, Transfers, and Wires Issued for the Period of December 27, 2025 through February 6, 2026

RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the attached payment register summarized below for the period of December 27, 2025 through February 6, 2026:

Electronic Funds Transfers 18565 through 18714
Warrants 69633 through 69859
Payroll Transfers W1574 through W1576

DISCUSSION
Payments to vendors for goods and services received and/or rendered are initiated and approved by the requesting department in accordance with proper purchasing guidelines.

Processing of these payments occurs centrally in the City's Finance Department with payments issued bi-weekly. A register listing of these payments is typically presented each month at the second regularly scheduled meeting of the City Council. This register also includes any Electronic Funds Transfers (EFT), outgoing payroll transfers or wires issued since the previous register was presented to the City Council. Voided payments (if any) are also identified.

All payments are processed on the City's financial management software system. This system generates a payment batch register, sorted by warrant number (or EFT/Wire number), and presents the invoice amount and a description of the payment issued.

BUDGET IMPACT
Total warrants, transfers, and wires issued (net of any voided payments) during the period of December 27, 2025 through February 6, 2026 are $5,296,285.30.

LEGAL REVIEW
None required.

Attachment No. 1
The City has completed the second quarter of
Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26. This report summarizes
the overall financial performance of the City for
the period of July 1, 2025, through December 31,
2025, but it is not meant to be inclusive of all
finance and accounting transactions. While the
focus of the report is the General Fund, summary
financial information is also provided for the
Cypress Recreation and Park District General
Fund and Capital Project funds. The information
presented is unaudited. This report is intended
to provide City Council and the public with an
overview of the City’s general fiscal condition.

The revenue and expenditures per the Budget to
Year-To-Date (YTD) Actual comparisons include
adjustments for carryovers and any
appropriations made as of December 31, 2025.

The information presented reports revenues as
they are received and expenses when paid.

Revenues and expenses are only accrued at year
end to account for such activity in the correct
fiscal year.

City General Fund Overview
Based on the first six months of the fiscal year,
the city has received 39% of its budgeted
revenue and spent 44% of its budgeted
expenses. As of December 31, 2025, expenses
exceeded revenue which is typical for this time of
year.

Chart 1. General Fund Revenue & Expenses
General Fund Revenue
Many revenue payments in the first half of the
year (including sales taxes, franchise taxes,
transient occupancy taxes, and interest earnings)
are received after December 31st. Thus, only
one-third of revenues are typically received by
mid-year. Revenue (as a percentage of budget) is
39%, which is 6% ahead of last fiscal year to-date.

Other Revenue 0.02 0.05 331%
Total Revenue $43.19 $17.06 39%
Sales taxes and property taxes combined make
up over 63% of General Fund revenue. While
property tax tends to be stable and grow at
generally predictable rates, sales tax receipts are
more volatile and fluctuate with the economy.

The FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget used
projections from the City's sales tax consultant
which reflect ongoing economic uncertainties
and their impact on revenues. The most recent
forecast projects $475,000 more than the
amended budget.

Property Tax distributions are trending over the
prior year at 29% of budget received to-date. The
first large distribution of Property Tax is in
December.

Most other revenue sources are in line with
budget. However, there are some revenue items
trending over budget and are proposed to be
increased:

Proposed adjustments to the General Fund:

There are some programs that are trending over
budget and are proposed to be adjusted:
− Severance payment to former City Manager
($315,000).
− Attorney charges ($32,800).
− Parks Impact Fee Study ($25,000): The City
imposes an impact fee on certain new
residential developments. Recent changes in
State law require a study to ensure these fees
are proportionate, equitable, and defensible.
− Overage for contract plan check services
which are offset by revenue ($114,000).

These activities tend to be largely out of the
City's control and can vary significantly from one
fiscal year to the next. This projection has been
included in the proposed budget amendment:

Fund Balance Overview for City General Fund
As of July 1, 2025, the General Fund had a
beginning fund balance of $37.44 million – $5
million over the adopted budget. Based on the
current projection, the General Fund will have an
ending fund balance of $35.81 million.

workshop March 24th.

Capital Project Costs 4.62 0.36 8%
Total Expenditures $13.89 $3.16 23%
Total expenditures tend to fluctuate year to year
due to budgeted capital projects while operating
expenditures experience less volatility. Typically,
operating expenditures are below 50% at the
end of the calendar year due to most December
non-personnel expenditures (which includes
contract costs for landscaping and custodial
services) not being paid until January.

Proposed adjustments to the District:

District General Fund
− New staff uniforms for branding ($14,500): As
part of the rebranding process, CRPD will
need to purchase new staff uniforms to
properly equip approximately 90 employees.

District Capital Replacement Fund
− Refrigerator and freezer replacement
($23,400): The Senior Center’s commercial
refrigerator and freezer stopped working and
needed replacement. These are essential
pieces of equipment for the Center’s
nutrition programs as food is delivered cold
or frozen at least one day in advance of when
it is served. Last fiscal year, over 21,000 meals
were delivered and served onsite.
− New vehicle overage ($7,000): The CRPD
Capital Replacement Fund budget included
$14,000 to purchase a utility vehicle for
Arnold Cypress Park, however; quotes came
in over budget by $7,000 ($21,000 total).

District General Fund, Fund Balance
The District's fund balance is projected to
decrease by $4.15 million due to capital
expenses and outstanding loans due to the City.

However, excluding capital and loan repayments
($6.62 million), the District has positive revenue
less expenditures of $2.48 million.

Capital project expenditures for the first half of
the year are consistent with expectations. Public
Works will provide a separate update to the City
Council on the Capital Improvement Program.

The following adjustments are recommended:
− City Hall LED Lights Retrofit ($20,000): Recent
California regulations prohibit the purchase
of fluorescent lamps. LED replacements are
available and can be installed in-house.
− Concrete - Sidewalk Rehab ($37,000): Work
includes the replacement of concrete curb,
gutter, sidewalk, and driveway associated
with Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2001-
20 for 4962-4992 Lincoln Ave. This expense
will be offset by revenue.
− HVAC Replacement at Maintenance Yard and
Telecom Room ($40,000): Both facilities were
originally scheduled for replacement next
fiscal year; however, immediate repairs are
necessary to maintain proper cooling for
critical server equipment.

Other Recommended Budget Amendments
Below are proposed changes to other funds
based on unanticipated situations:

Asset Seizure Fund, Justice & Treasury
− Mobile Audio-Visual System for Police Patrol
Vehicles ($75,100): Funds that were
budgeted to be expended directly from the
Treasury Fund are proposed to be transferred
to and paid out of the Equipment
Replacement Fund for continuation of the
mobile AV project. This will account for the
whole the asset in one fund.
− Cell phones and peripherals ($20,000): Cell
phones are essential safety equipment that
allow officers to access body-worn and in-car
camera footage, intelligence databases, and
real-time information, and to securely
capture photographs that can be booked
into evidence immediately.
− Taser Subscription ($64,750): Funds are
proposed to be reallocated from the Justice
fund to the Treasury fund to ensure an
adequate fund balance in the Justice fund.

There are adequate funds available in the
Treasury fund to support this eligible
expenditure.

City Central Services Fund
− Unforeseen Police vehicle maintenance
($24,100): One patrol vehicle required
significant engine and exhaust repairs, and
additional funding is necessary to cover
routine maintenance for the remainder of the
fiscal year, ensuring these critical Police
vehicles remain in daily operation and
extending their useful service life.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 9.

FROM: Nick Mangkalakiri, Director of Public Works
DATE: 02/23/2026
SUBJECT: Master Reimbursement Agreement with Orange County Sanitation District

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Master Reimbursement Agreement with the Orange County Sanitation District and authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement.

DISCUSSION
The City’s Capital Improvements Program (CIP) includes paving and street rehabilitation projects to ensure infrastructure is adequately funded and properly maintained. The annual arterial street rehabilitation project is part of a cost-effective strategy to maintain roadway pavements in good condition citywide.

Paving projects typically require existing utility manholes to be adjusted to match the finished grade of new pavement. The City’s annual arterial street rehabilitation projects routinely include sewer manholes owned by the Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) within the project limits, requiring adjustments to their manhole frames and covers. The recommended Master Reimbursement Agreement will allow the City to be reimbursed for the cost of adjusting OC San’s manholes and includes an administrative fee of 15% to cover the City’s costs associated with administering the work. Reimbursement for each project shall be initiated through a Work Order issued by the Director of Public Works to OC San.

BUDGET IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the approval of this agreement. For any work performed on OC San facilities, the City will be reimbursed the full cost, plus a 15% administrative fee.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the agreement as to form.

FROM: Christopher Wong, Business Development Manager
DATE: 02/23/2026
SUBJECT: Approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-03 for a Convenience Store with Alcoholic Beverage Sales at 5362 Lincoln Avenue

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-03 and confirm the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

SUMMARY
David Jacobo of Jacobo Design & Structural Inc., on behalf of property owner, Hill Legacy Inc, requests approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-03 to expand an existing convenience store with alcoholic beverage sales (OC Bottle Shop) at 5362 Lincoln Ave. As conditioned, the project meets all development standards and required findings and is recommended for approval.

DISCUSSION
Background
The existing building was constructed in 1968. Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control records indicate that a Type 21 (Off-Sale General) license was issued for this location as early as 1981, and alcohol sales have occurred on-site since that time. City records do not show approval of any associated Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for off-site alcohol sales. As a result, the business operates as a legal nonconforming use. Approval of the CUP will formally authorize the convenience store with alcohol sales and bring the use into compliance with the Lincoln Avenue Specific Plan and the Zoning Ordinance.

Project Description
The applicant proposes expanding the existing 1,128-square-foot convenience store by 869 square feet. To accommodate the expansion, the applicant will demolish an unpermitted 1,268-square-foot structure and complete related site and landscape improvements, including construction of a new trash enclosure and reconfiguration of on-site parking. The existing store contains a walk-in freezer, display area, and service counter. The expanded area will include additional display space, an office, a relocated service counter, a mop room, and a restroom.

The store currently sells snacks, soft drinks, chips, beer, wine, liquor, and a limited selection of tobacco products. The store currently operates from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., with extended hours on Fridays and Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. A condition of approval is included limiting the hours to these specified times and giving the City Council the ability to modify the hours of operation if complaints are received (COA #4.1).

Subject Property and Surrounding Uses
The property is located at the southeast corner of Lincoln Avenue and Watson Street.

Surrounding land uses and zoning are listed below. A vicinity map is attached for reference.

Direction Land Use Zoning
North Retail Shopping Center LASP - Downtown
South Multiple-Family Residential RM 20 (Multiple Family) East Tire Shop LASP - Downtown
West Dental Office LASP - Downtown
Regulatory Control
The property lies within the Downtown District of the Lincoln Avenue Specific Plan (LASP).

The LASP permits mini markets and liquor stores subject to approval of a CUP. The business currently operates as a legal nonconforming use. Because the applicant proposes to expand the nonconforming use, approval of a CUP is required.

In addition, the Cypress Zoning Ordinance establishes specific criteria for evaluating CUPs for alcoholic beverage sales. The review must evaluate surrounding land uses within 300 feet of the site, including residences, parks, schools, religious institutions, and similar alcohol-serving establishments. The review also addresses site maintenance, exterior lighting, security measures, protection of adjacent properties from noise and illegal activity, adequacy of parking, hours of operation, occupancy limits, loitering controls, and potential effects on surrounding property values.

ANALYSIS
Land Use
The site lies within a commercial corridor surrounded by residential, retail, service, and office uses. A preschool operates within 300 feet; however, the store has sold alcohol at this location for decades without documented incident. A review of calls for service during the past year identified none associated with the business.

The recommended conditions address those criteria specific to alcoholic beverage sales by requiring loitering controls (COA #18.1), maintaining clear visibility into the store (COA #18.3), addressing site maintenance (COAs #5.1-5.3), and implementing security measures recommended by the Police Department (COAs #18.1–18.4). In addition, COA #4.1 allows the City Council to review the CUP if complaints or calls for service arise from the operation of the business.

The use remains compatible with surrounding development because the expansion does not materially intensify alcohol sales beyond historic levels. CUP approval will also give the not materially intensify alcohol sales beyond historic levels. CUP approval will also give the City stronger enforcement authority to ensure ongoing compliance. Together with the conditions of approval, the permit brings the business into conformance with City regulations while addressing potential operational impacts associated with off-site alcohol sales.

Alcoholic Beverage Control classifies the Lincoln Avenue corridor as a high crime reporting district; therefore, the City Council must make a finding of Public Convenience and Necessity pursuant to Business and Professions Code Section 23958.4. The Police Department reviewed the request, did not object, and provided recommended conditions reflected in the resolution.

Development and Design
The project complies with the development standards of the Cypress Zoning Ordinance and the Lincoln Avenue Specific Plan. It removes an unpermitted, substandard structure and replaces it with a code-compliant addition that maintains the scale, orientation, and commercial character of the Downtown corridor. Architectural upgrades improve façade articulation, materials, and overall building quality, creating a cohesive and modernized appearance.

The updated site plan improves circulation and functionality. The project meets parking requirements, supports safe on-site vehicle movement, and realigns drive approaches and curb cuts with the internal drive aisles to improve access. Landscaping upgrades remove deficient improvements, retain appropriate planting areas, and introduce new landscaping that softens paving and enhances the pedestrian environment.

The applicant will also improve exterior lighting, maintain the property free of litter and debris, and construct a new trash enclosure. Together, these changes strengthen security, improve day-to-day operations, and elevate the appearance of the site while maintaining compatibility with surrounding commercial uses and supporting neighborhood-serving retail consistent with the Specific Plan.

Recommendation
The conditional use permit is consistent with the requirements and intent of the LASP and applicable standards for alcoholic beverage sales. It is recommended that the City Council approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-03, subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A to the attached resolution and determine that the project is exempt from CEQA.

Public Hearing
Notices of the public hearing were posted and mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the project site. No comments have been received to date.

Alternative Action
If the City Council identifies issues that require further review, it may continue the item and direct staff to work with the applicant to resolve them. Alternatively, the City Council may decline to make the required findings and deny the project.

None.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2025-03

TO PERMIT THE EXPANSION OF AN EXISTING CONVENIENCE STORE WITH ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SALES AT 5362 LINCOLN AVENUE,

LOCATED IN THE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT OF THE LINCOLN AVENUE

SPECIFIC PLAN AREA AND DETERMINING THAT THE PROJECT IS

EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Cypress considered an application for Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-03 in accordance with the provisions of the Cypress Zoning Ordinance (CZO) and the Lincoln Avenue Specific Plan (LASP), to expand an existing convenience store with alcoholic beverage sales at 5362 Lincoln Avenue; and WHEREAS, the subject property is located in the Downtown District of the LASP and has a General Plan land use designation of Specific Plan; and WHEREAS, the LASP allows mini-markets and liquor stores in the Downtown District subject to approval of a conditional use permit; and WHEREAS, the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control issued a Type 21 (Off-Sale General) license for the subject property as early as 1981, alcohol sales have operated on the site since that time, City records do not show approval of a conditional use permit for off-sale alcohol and the operation has, therefore, functioned as a legal nonconforming use, and approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-03 will formally authorize the convenience store with alcohol sales and bring the operation into conformance with the LASP and the CZO; and
WHEREAS, the subject property is located within a crime reporting district where reported crimes exceed the limits established by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, and pursuant to California Business and Professions Code Section 23958.4, the City must determine that public convenience or necessity would be served by issuance of the alcoholic beverage license; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, after proper notice thereof, on February 23, 2026, held a duly noticed public hearing on the application and took public testimony; and WHEREAS, the proposed project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities), which applies to the permitting of existing private or public structures involving negligible or no expansion of use, and there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the applicant agrees with the necessity of and accepts all elements, requirements, and conditions of this Resolution as being a reasonable manner of preserving, protecting, providing for, and fostering the health, safety, and welfare of the citizenry in general and the persons who work, visit or live in this community in particular.

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS DOES

RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS BASED UPON SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE TAKEN FROM THE ADMINISTRATIVE RECORD AND PUBLIC HEARING:

SECTION 1. Conditional Use Permit Findings. Pursuant to Section 4.19.070(E) of the CZO, the City Council finds, after due study and deliberation, that the following circumstances exist:

1. The proposed location of the conditional use is consistent with the requirements of the general plan and the zoning district in which the site is located; The project complies with the General Plan, the Cypress Zoning Ordinance, and the Lincoln Avenue Specific Plan. The expansion improves an existing commercial use in a designated Downtown area, upgrades site and building conditions, and supports continued neighborhood-serving commercial activity consistent with applicable General Plan goals and policies.

2. The proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or general welfare, nor would be materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
The proposed location is appropriate and will not be detrimental to public health, safety, or general welfare, nor materially injurious to nearby properties. The site lies within an established commercial corridor of retail, service, office, and nearby residential uses where customer traffic and neighborhood-serving activity are anticipated.

No parks or religious institutions are within 300 feet. Although a preschool is nearby, alcohol sales have occurred at this location for decades without documented incident, and recent calls for service show none associated with the business. The request continues an existing use rather than introducing a new or incompatible operation.

The project also removes an unpermitted structure and replaces it with a codecompliant addition while improving circulation, parking, landscaping, lighting, and trash facilities. These upgrades enhance visibility, functionality, and overall site conditions. In this context, the location will remain compatible with surrounding properties.

3. The proposed conditional use would comply with all applicable provisions of this zoning ordinance.

The project complies with the CZO, the LASP, the applicable alcoholic beverage sales criteria, and the design guidelines. It removes nonconforming site features and constructs a code-compliant building addition consistent with building, fire, and accessibility standards.

The building addition maintains compatibility with surrounding commercial development by matching the scale and character of nearby structures while modernizing the façade. Removal of substandard improvements and architectural upgrades enhances the property’s visual quality and reinforces the commercial character of the corridor.

The site design improves functionality through reconfigured parking and circulation while providing the required number of parking spaces. New landscaping softens paved areas and buffers adjacent uses.

Operational conditions address maintenance and security. The operator will maintain the exterior free of litter and debris, upgrade exterior lighting to discourage loitering, prohibit loitering on-site, and implement security measures consistent with Police Department direction. The store will maintain its existing hours, which remain comparable to similar retail uses.

SECTION 2. Public Convenience or Necessity Finding. Pursuant to Business and Professions Code Section 23958.4, the City Council finds that the following circumstances exist:

Public convenience or necessity would be served by the issuance of an Alcoholic Beverage Control license.

Approval of the Conditional Use Permit and continuation of off-sale alcoholic beverage service at this location will serve the public convenience and necessity by supporting an established neighborhood-serving retail use, bringing a nonconforming use into code compliance, while incorporating site and operational improvements that protect public health, safety, and welfare.

SECTION 3. CEQA. The City Council finds the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities), as the project involves minor alterations to an existing structure and site with no significant increase in intensity of use on a site that is served by adequate public services and facilities consistent with the level of development permitted by the General Plan, and is not an environmentally sensitive area.

SECTION 4. Approval. The City Council of the City of Cypress hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-03 to expand an existing convenience store with alcoholic beverage sales at 5362 Lincoln Avenue, subject to the conditions of approval attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and incorporated herein by reference. Any challenge to this Resolution, and the findings set forth therein, must be filed within the 90-day statute of limitations set forth in Code of Civil Procedure 1094.6.

PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress at a regular meeting held on the 23rd day of February, 2026.

6 deductions  normally  deducted  during  regular  payroll  payments  and  excluding deferredcompensation or the value of any other benefits.

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Government  Code  §  53260  provides  that  all  contracts  of employment with a city must include a provision limiting the maximum cash settlement for the termination of the contract to the monthly salary (excluding benefits) multiplied by the number of months left on the unexpired term, but not more than eighteen (18) months if the unexpired term exceeds 18 months. Accordingly,  should  such proposed  severance payment exceed the amount authorized to be paid under Government Code § 53260, then the amount paid to City Manager shall be reduced in the amount necessary to comply with such statute. (For example, if termination occurs with two (2) months left in the term, severance would be equal to the monthly base salary multiplied by two (2) rather than pursuant to the formula provided in this Section.)

As provided in Section 3.4(a), should City Manager be terminated for cause, the City shall have no obligation to pay the severance provided for in Section  4.1 above.  As provided in Section 3.3, should City Manager initiate termination of this Agreement, the City shall have no obligation to pay the severance provided for in Section 4.1 above. Finally, there shall be no obligation for the City to pay severance in the event the term of the Agreement expires as provided in Section 3.2 above, including if the City provides notice to the City Manager that the Agreement shall not be extended.

4.3 No  Severance  Payment  While  Under  Investigation.  In  the  event  City Manager is under investigation for any of the reasons set forth in Section 3.4(a) hereof, City may withhold part or all of any severance payment afforded City Manager herein until it is determined if  charges  will  be  filed,  and  if  charges  are  filed,  until  final  judgment  is  rendered;  provided, however, that City may not withhold the severance payment (if any), in whole or in part, beyond twelve (12) months of the initiation of an investigation and/or the filing of charges, whichever shall last occur.

4.4 Payment.  One-half  of  any  severance  payment  required  under  this  Section shall  be  paid  within ten  (10)  days  following the  effective  date  of  a  general  release  of  claims, provided City Manager has not revoked the release. The balance of the severance payment shall be paid monthly following ninety (90) days following the date of separation or as otherwise agreed by the parties.

4.5 Sole Rights.  The severance rights provided in this Section 4.0 shall constitute the  sole  and  only  entitlement  of  City  Manager  with  respect  to  severance  pay  in  the  event  of termination without cause.  City Manager expressly waives any and all other rights with respect to severance pay except as provided herein. Any and all severance rights are conditioned upon and in consideration  for execution  of the  standard “Agreement  of Separation, Severance, and General Release” attached hereto in form only as Exhibit “A.” In the event City Manager challenges her termination or declines to execute or revokes the general release of claims, no severance payment shall be made under this Article 4.0.

(d) The waivers and releases set forth in this AGREEMENT shall not apply to any rights or claims that may arise under the ADEA and/or OWBPA after the EFFECTIVE DATE of this AGREEMENT;

(f) EMPLOYEE has discussed this waiver and release with, and been advised with respect thereto by, her counsel of choice, and that she does not need any additional time within which to review and consider this AGREEMENT;
(g) EMPLOYEE  has  seven (7) days following her execution  of  this AGREEMENT to revoke the AGREEMENT;
(h) Notice  of  revocation within the  seven  (7)  day  revocation  period must  be provided, in writing, to THE CITY pursuant to Paragraph 8.9 herein, and must state, “I hereby revoke my acceptance of our Agreement of Severance and General Release;” and (i) This AGREEMENT shall not be effective until all parties have signed the AGREEMENT  and  ten  (10)  days  have  passed  since  EMPLOYEE’s  execution  (“EFFECTIVE DATE”).

5. UNKNOWN CLAIMS
01004.0004 2087788.9 2/17/2026
In relation to the release provisions of Paragraphs 3 and 4 above, EMPLOYEE understands that California Civil Code section 1542 reads as follows:

“A  general  release  does  not  extend  to  claims  that  the  creditor  or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the  release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
EMPLOYEE hereby waives the protection of California Civil Code section 1542.

6. WAIVER OF ADDITIONAL CLAIMS
EMPLOYEE hereby waives any provisions of state or federal law that might require a more detailed specification of the claims being released pursuant to the provisions of Paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 above.

DATE: 02/23/2026
SUBJECT: Receive the FY 2025-26 Capital Improvement Program Mid-Year Update

RECOMMENDATION

1. Receive the FY 2025-26 Capital Improvement Program Mid-Year Update; and

2. Provide direction for the development of the FYE 2027-2033 Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program.

DISCUSSION
The City Council adopted the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) in June 2025. The program is largely on schedule and the majority of this year’s projects are expected to be under construction or completed by the end of the fiscal year.

Several projects underway are carryover projects from prior fiscal years. These carryovers are primarily the result of project complexity, timing considerations, and staffing vacancies experienced over the past few years.

Updates on notable projects include:

Parks
Restroom renovations at Veterans Park are underway, and plans and specifications are being finalized for the sports court improvements. At the Senior Center, three new accessible doors have been installed, and additional minor facility repairs are scheduled for later this year. Additionally, the Senior Center and Community Center parking lots were recently resurfaced and sealed. A contract has been awarded to resurface playground surfaces at various parks, and bids are being solicited to retrofit interior and exterior facility lighting with energy-efficient LED fixtures. Shade structure replacements at Willow Park and Maple Grove Park South are scheduled to begin in March/April. Lastly, community outreach efforts and design proposals for the Baroldi Syndrome Park expansion are under review.

Street Improvements
The arterial street resurfacing project is underway and will resurface portions of Valley View Street, Knott Avenue, Holder Street, and Walker Street. The residential street resurfacing project is scheduled for late spring and will resurface more than 33 centerline miles of roadway. The annual concrete rehabilitation project replaced more than 12,000 square feet of sidewalk and 1,300 linear feet of curb and gutter. More than 150 trees will be replanted at various locations throughout the City to help promote growth of the urban forest.

Facilities
Replacement of the City Hall East Wing HVAC system is underway, with completion anticipated in the spring. Contracts have been awarded for the Police Department Shooting Range Improvements and the Maintenance Yard Electric Vehicle Charging Stations, and bids are being solicited for replacement of the Maintenance Yard vehicle lifts. In addition, plans for the Executive Board Room Improvements are being finalized and are expected to go out to bid in the coming weeks.

Sewer and Storm Drains
An update to the City’s 2007 Sanitary Sewer Master Plan is underway, with completion of this comprehensive effort anticipated in late 2026. The design for Myra Avenue Stormwater Pump Station No. 1 is nearing completion, with equipment procurement expected to begin in the spring, bid solicitation in the fall, and construction scheduled to begin in late 2026 or early 2027.

Traffic Improvements
The retrofit of city-owned streetlights to LED fixtures and the replacement of all traffic signal controller cabinets have been completed. The installation of accessible pedestrian signals citywide is underway and is on schedule for completion by the end of the fiscal year.
