CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 2.

FROM: Stephanie Sikkema, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 05/26/2026
SUBJECT: Investment Report for the Month Ended April 30, 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 April 30, 2026, the City had $196.3 million (current market value) in cash and investments and the interest return (yield) on the public funds investments was 3.92%. 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 April 30, 2026. The Investment Reports consist of the following five summaries:

1. Summary of Cash and Investments - Provides the total portfolio of the City.

Changes in Cash and Investments - 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 Maturity Date - 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. Interfund Investments - Indicates outstanding loans between City funds. There are currently two loans due to the City's Infrastructure Reserve Fund from the Cypress Recreation and Park District General Fund related to the construction of Lexington

4. 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 $196.3 million (current market value) in cash and investments on April 30, 2026. The investments include Federal Agencies and US Treasuries Debt ($95.4 million) and Investment Pools ($98.8 million). The City's bank accounts held $2.1 million on April 30, 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.

CITY OF CYPRESS
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 3.

FROM: Stephanie Sikkema, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 05/26/2026
SUBJECT: Receive and File Register of Warrants, Transfers, and Wires Issued for the Period of April 10, 2026 through May 8, 2026

RECOMMENDATION
Receive and File the Attached Payment Register Summarized Below for the Period of April 10, 2026 through May 8, 2026:

Electronic Funds Transfers 19288 through 19567
Warrants 70369 through 70590
Payroll Transfers W1581 through W1582

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 April 10, 2026 through May 8, 2026 are $4,897,375.09.

LEGAL REVIEW
None required.

CITY OF CYPRESS
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 4.

FROM: Stephanie Sikkema, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 05/26/2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of Fiscal Policies and Annual Statement of Investment Policy

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed fiscal policies and adoption of a Resolution approving the Annual Statement of Investment Policy.

DISCUSSION
During the April 28, 2026, City Council meeting, the following draft fiscal policies were reviewed:

1. Investment Policy

2. Capital Asset Policy

3. Budget Policy

4. Fund Balance
Investment Policy
The purpose of the Investment Policy is to establish prudent investment cash management guidelines for the City. The investment goals of the City are safety, liquidity and yield. The City Treasurer and Finance Manager shall be responsible for reviewing and modifying this Statement of Investment Policy annually for City Council approval to ensure its consistency with the overall objectives of safety, preservation of principal, and liquidity, and its relevance to current law and current financial and economic conditions.

Key provisions of the proposed policy include the following:

General clean up to remove redundancies and possible conflicts with the government code.

1. Revised one of the authorized and suitable investment categories to replace the CalTrust-specific reference with a broader allowance for local government investment pools, thereby expanding the City’s investment opportunities.

2. 3. Added county pools as an authorized and suitable investment.

Capital Asset Policy
The purpose of this policy is to establish the City’s capitalization criteria, update capital thresholds for each asset classification, provide estimates for useful lives of assets for depreciation/amortization, and maintain accurate and up-to-date records of capital asset information to prepare the City’s financial statements in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB).

Key provisions of the proposed policy include the following:

Increased the threshold from $1,000 to $5,000 for all assets other than buildings, improvements, and infrastructure. The threshold for buildings, improvements, and infrastructure remains $10,000 in accordance with the City's Charter.

1. Updated the estimated useful life used in deeming deprecation to be consistent with ideal replacement schedules.

2. Budget Policy
This policy establishes a budget process to help decision makers make informed choices about the provision of services and capital assets and to promote stakeholder participation in the process.

Key provisions of the proposed policy include the following:

1. Inclusion of a long-range financial plan.

Depreciation will be used as the basis for budgeting for service charges paid by departments for equipment replacement funds.

2. 3. One-time resources will only be used for one-time purposes.

The budget process will include a review of the City's Strategic Plan, an update of the long-range financial plan, and a budget calendar presented to City Council.

4. 5. Staff will provide monthly and quarterly reporting.

Fund Balance Policy
This policy establishes the procedures for reporting unrestricted fund balance in the City's financial statements. Certain commitments and assignments of fund balance help ensure that there will be adequate financial resources to protect the City against unforeseen circumstances and events, such as revenue shortfalls and unanticipated expenditures.

Key provisions of the proposed policy include the following:

The City shall maintain a Committed Fund Balance of twenty-five percent (25%) of operating expenditures in the General Fund and a Committed Fund Balance of thirty percent (30%) of the total seven-year capital improvement program plus encumbrances in the Infrastructure Reserve Fund. Additionally, at the end of the fiscal year, the excess unassigned fund balance in the City's General Fund will be prioritized and presented for City Council consideration as follows:
25% will stay in the General Fund Balance as unassigned fund balance for unforeseen appropriations that may arise throughout the fiscal year.

1. Up to 25% will be transferred to the Employee Benefits Fund until a fund balance reserve is established and maintained equal to current liabilities.

2. Up to 15% will be transferred to the Self-Insurance Funds: General Liability and Workers Compensation Funds until a fund balance reserve is established to cover the long-term liabilities due within one year (claims payable).

3. The remaining balance will be transferred to Capital Funds: Infrastructure Reserve Fund, Capital Outlay, and Information Technology.

4. For example, the excess fund balance for fiscal year ending June 30, 2025 would be allocated as follows:

General Fund Operating Budget FY2025-26 $41,316,941
25% of Operating Budget $10,329,235 25%
General Fund Balance 6/30/2025 $35,133,312
Nonspendable 80,845
Committed 10,329,235
Preliminary Unassigned Fund Balance $24,723,232
Proposed use of excess unassigned fund balance/transfers:

Unassigned Fund Balance 6,180,808 25%
Transfer to Employee Benefits Fund 6,180,808 25%
Transfer to Self Insurance Funds 0 0%
Transfer to Infrastructure Reserve 8,653,131 35%
Transfer to City Capital Replacement Fund 2,472,323 10% Transfer to Technology Master Plan Fund 1,236,162 5%
Total Use of Unassigned Fund Balance $24,723,232 100%
Adjusted General Fund Balance after transfers:

Nonspendable 80,845
Committed 10,329,235
Unassigned Fund Balance 6,180,808
Total Fund Balance $16,590,888
BUDGET IMPACT
The recommended financial policies are procedural in nature and do not directly change revenues or expenditures. The revisions clarify existing practices and strengthen financial management standards. Any budget effects would be indirect and occur over time, such as improved investment yields, more consistent reserve funding, or enhanced long-term planning.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the resolution and approved it as to form.

CITY OF CYPRESS

CAPITAL ASSET POLICY

PURPOSE
To ensure adequate control and appropriate use of City capital assets.

OVERVIEW
In accordance with the City’s Charter, the capitalization threshold for capital improvements including buildings, improvements, and infrastructure with a probable life in excess of ten years is $10,000. Buildings and improvements and infrastructure meeting the threshold are assigned a tracking number and are capitalized and depreciated the year after it has been placed in service.

Beginning July 1, 2025, the capitalization threshold for all other tangible and intangibles assets is $5,000 and a useful life of more than two years. Assets previously added but not disposed under lower thresholds will remain part of the capital asset portfolio until disposed.

Costs that are included in the capitalized basis are:

1. Original price, less discounts including design and construction necessary to bring the asset to its intended use

2. Freight, or other carriage charges

3. Sales, use and transportation taxes

4. Installation costs

5. Additional costs necessary to get the asset ready for use (i.e., light bars for police vehicles, truck bed/toolbox for a Maintenance truck, fixtures in buildings, etc.)

CATERGORES OF CAPITAL ASSETS
• Land includes all investments in real property, excluding buildings and improvements. Land is recorded at cost and capitalized as an asset, but it is not depreciated due to the inexhaustible nature of this type of asset. • Land Improvements are non-building assets that add value to the land but have limited useful lives. Examples of depreciable land improvements include parking lots, driveways, fences, retaining walls, irrigation systems, recreation areas, athletic fields and courts, and play structures.

City of Cypress Capital Asset Policy
2 • Buildings are permanent structures used for operating purposes. If practical highcost components, such as elevators, HVAC systems, and roofs, are recorded separately to simplify future replacement transactions, because their useful lives can differ from those of buildings.
• Building improvements are additions or improvements to buildings that increase value or extend the useful life of a building. Examples include lighting fixtures, roofs, replacing HVAC systems, major energy conservation projects, and upgrading plumbing or electrical systems.
• Machinery and Equipment include moveable personal property such as machines, guns, tools, furniture, office trailers, computers, phone systems, and copy machines.
• Intangible assets are financial assets that lack physical substance, such as easements, rights-of-way, and computer software. Computer software will be subject to the rules of the Governmental Accounting Standard Board (GASB) Statement No. 96.
• Lease assets is a contract that conveys control of the right to use assets (like land, building, or equipment) for a period in an exchange like transaction. Lease assets are subject to the rules of GASB Statement No. 87.
• Vehicles include any licensed or unlicensed motor vehicle. Historical cost includes the purchase price plus registration, taxes, delivery fees, and outfitting costs. • Infrastructure includes bridges, traffic control devices, pavement, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems, lighting systems, traffic signals, and sewer lines.
• Inventoried assets relate to equipment that has an original cost of less than $5,000 and has a useful life of greater than one (1) year. These assets may require inventory control due to susceptibility to theft or misplacement.

DEPRECIATION AND USEFULL LIFE
Straight-line method of depreciation. The original cost of the asset is used as the capitalization basis, divided by the estimated useful life of the asset which yields annual depreciation. The City’s policy is to charge the first year of depreciation the year after the asset has been placed in service.

The City will review estimated useful lives periodically to determine if they are still reasonable. Based on this review, the estimated useful life of a particular asset may be revised at the Director of Finance and Administrative Services discretion to better reflect current trends.

ASSET SURPLUS AND DISPOSAL
Normally, assets become surplus when they are no longer in use or become obsolete or worn out.

Surplus assets are physically removed from the department and put into storage at a designated City location. Surplus assets can be transferred to another department to be put back into service, or they can be disposed of later.

City of Cypress Capital Asset Policy
4 All departments are required to prepare a list of all surplus assets on an annual basis as part of the budget process. However, on an individual and as needed basis, a department head may request the surplus/disposal of specific assets.

A Fixed Asset Status Change Form must be completed and approved by the department head whenever changes to an asset’s status are to be made. This form will include the ID # of the asset, type of status change being made (surplus or disposal), and why the change is being made.

The standards set forth below for the surplus/disposing of City assets will not apply to real property (land or buildings and improvements) or unclaimed property held by the Police Department.

DISPOSAL
Once it is determined that a surplus asset will be disposed of, there are several methods by which the city can dispose of these assets. The preferred method used to dispose of surplus assets will be determined by the purchasing officer and will be the method which proves most advantageous to the city in accordance with Section 21A-15 of the municipal code.

LOST OR STOLEN ASSETS
In the case of lost or stolen assets, it is the responsibility of the assigned department to advise the Director of Finance and Administrative Services. The department assigned the lost or stolen asset is required to complete a Fixed Asset Status Change Form, with detailed information on the asset, as well as any details on the loss and/or theft. In addition, departments are responsible for filing a police report for all lost or stolen assets, if applicable.

CITY OF CYPRESS

BUDGET POLICY

PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to establish guidelines for the preparation, adoption, and presentation of the City’s annual budget. The budget shall provide a complete financial plan of all City funds and activities for the ensuing fiscal year.

DEFINITIONS
Non-Recurring Expenditures: Comprise special projects such as capital improvements, asset acquisitions, and other costs incurred infrequently by the City.

Non-Recurring Revenue: Revenues that are one-time in nature and cannot be reasonably expected to continue year-to-year.

Recurring Expenditures: In general, recurring expenditures are those that the City expects to fund every year in order to maintain current service levels. Examples include salaries, benefits, rent, utilities, maintenance costs and certain contracted services.

Recurring Revenues: The portion of the City’s revenues that can reasonably be predicted to continue year-to-year, with some degree of predictability.

Structurally Balanced Budget: A budget is structurally balanced if it does not spend more on ongoing services than it receives in ongoing revenues.

DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
The budget is prepared by the Finance Department with the support of each operating department under the direct supervision of the City Manager. The Finance Department is responsible for coordinating all revenues estimates contained in the budget. Estimates are reached by analyzing historical revenue history, national and local economic trends and indices, and development patterns in the local economy. The Finance Department also coordinates the development of the expenditure budgets with the support of each operating department and the City Manager.

LONG-RANGE FINANCIAL PLAN
The City’s financial situation and projected future status are important factors in the financial and economic decisions the City Council may make. To support the City’s budgetary planning and financial decision-making process, the City needs to analyze its financial situation and the key factors impacting its economic and financial status.

At a minimum, the proposed annual budget should include a three-year General Fund surplus/(shortfall) projection (the fiscal year plus two additional years). Major assumptions should be identified.

City of Cypress Budget Policy

REVENUES
The City shall design, maintain and administer a revenue system that will assure a reliable, equitable, diversified and sufficient revenue stream to support desired City services.

EXPENDITURES
The City shall identify priority services, establish and define appropriate service levels and administer the expenditure of available resources to assure fiscal stability and the effective and efficient delivery of services.

INTERNAL SERVICES CHARGES
The City will strive to include depreciation of equipment, furnishings and computer software in the service charges paid by departments to the equipment replacement funds. This will permit the accumulation of cash to cost effectively replace these assets and smooth out budgetary impacts. However, these amounts may be budgeted for less than depreciation to maintain a structurally balanced budget.

STRUCTURALLY BALANCED BUDGET
A structurally balanced budget is a necessary component of good financial management and financial discipline and will help sustain the consistent delivery of services to residents.

An unbalanced budget (spending more than is received) undermines the City’s ability to deal with financial problems. It may lead to reduced services in the future and inhibit the City’s ability to take advantage of opportunities that will periodically occur.

The budget for the General Fund will be structurally balanced for the fiscal year. A structurally unbalanced budget will include an explanation and describe the expected approach and time frame for achieving structural balance within the context of official revenue and expenditure projections. It is not a violation of this policy to have a planned use of funds available to fund one-time items, including capital, equipment, land or transitional costs for operations (starting up or termination of a service element). It is also not a violation of this policy to use funds previously set aside to mitigate temporarily higher costs or lower revenues.

In order to achieve a structurally balanced budget, the City should consider the following:
− Nonrecurring revenues and reserves should not be used to fund employee compensation.
− While capital assets are often funded with non-recurring revenues, the City shall be observant of the long-term operating and maintenance costs of such purposes, to prevent the creation of new on-going expenditures that cannot be maintained by recurring revenues.

City of Cypress Budget Policy
− The City shall prioritize the use of non-recurring revenues to replace current assets that have outlived their useful lives over the purchase of entirely new assets, where the replacement of the expired or obsolete assets is critical to the maintenance of the City’s core programs. A replacement schedule for such assets is a good indicator of when to budget for these items.

ONE-TIME RESOURCES WILL BE USED ONLY FOR ONE-TIME PURPOSES One-time resources are revenues that only occur once, for a very limited time, or are too unpredictable or unstable to fund operations. One-time revenues may include the variable portion of some revenue sources that have highly variable components. One-time revenues are not suited to fund ongoing operations because they are not available in the future or cannot be relied on from year-to-year to pay the ongoing costs of operations.

One-time resources will not be used to fund ongoing operations. They will be used for onetime uses, including capital and other one-time expenditures, transitional funding of operations (for a limited time-period with a planned ending date), increasing reserves, or paying down unfunded liabilities.

BUDGET PROCESS
The City’s fiscal year begins each July 1st and concludes on June 30th. The development of the annual budget is comprised of distinct phases and requires a great deal of effort on the part of the City Council and all members of the City’s management team.

1. The budget process shall start with a review of the City’s Strategic Plan by City Council.

This review establishes the goals and objectives for the upcoming budget cycle.

Following that, the long-range financial plan shall be updated.

2. Budget Calendar is developed and presented to City Council.

3. An internal budget kick-off meeting shall be held to review the technical and procedural aspects of preparing the budget.

4. Departments may then prepare their line-item budgets. Once the initial line-item requests are compiled, Finance staff shall work with the City Manager and departments to review the requests and gain a high-level understanding of the challenges facing the City and specific departments, including gaps between revenues and expenditures.

5. Budget review meetings may be held with each department to discuss the proposed budgets, including increases, reductions, or other significant changes, goals and objectives, and supplemental requests.

6. In accordance with the City’s Charter, the Manager shall submit the proposed budget to City Council by May 31st each year.

City of Cypress Budget Policy

AMENDMENTS
In accordance with the City’s Charter, the Manager may transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance among programs within a department, office, or agency and, upon written request by the Manager, the Council may by resolution transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance from one department, office, or agency to another.

REPORTING
Monthly: A revenue/expenditure report will be produced monthly so that it can be directly compared to the actual results of the fiscal year to date.

Quarterly: Each quarter, staff will produce a “Quarterly Financial Report” comparing current year to past year actual revenue and expenditure and present the data to City Council.

POLICY ADOPTION
The Director of Finance & Administrative Services shall be responsible for reviewing and modifying this Policy annually for City Council consideration to ensure its consistency with the overall objectives and its relevance to current law and current financial and economic conditions.

CITY OF CYPRESS

FUND BALANCE RESERVE POLICY

PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to establish the level of unrestricted fund balance that should be maintained in the general fund for GAAP and budgetary purposes and to articulate a framework and process for how the city will increase or decrease the level of unrestricted fund balance over time.

DEFINITIONS
Non‐spendable Fund Balance: Inherently non-spendable portions of net resources that cannot be spent because of their form or portions of net resources that cannot be spent because they must be maintained intact.

Restricted Fund Balance: Externally enforceable limitations, on the use of funds, that are imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws and regulations of other governments or limitations imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Debt Service fund balance will be designated as restricted.

Committed Fund Balance: Self-imposed limitations, on the use of funds, that are set in place prior to the end of a period. Limitations imposed at highest level of local decision making that requires formal action at the same level to remove. Capital Project fund balances typically will consist of funds designated by the City Council for future capital improvement projects.

Assigned Fund Balance: Limitations resulting from intended use that are established at the highest level of decision making or intended use established by the City Council for a specific purpose. The resources for these funds may be acquired through the budgeting process or funds that are deposited with the city for specific purposes. Special Revenue fund balances typically consist of funds assigned by other governmental agencies for specific use or by the City Council specific use.

Unassigned Fund Balance: Residual net resources that make up the fund balance in the general fund more than nonspendable, restricted, committed, and assigned fund balance (i.e., surplus) or excess of nonspendable, restricted, and committed fund balance over total fund balance (i.e., deficit). The General operating fund balance typically will consist pf unassigned funds for use by the City Council.

DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
The Director of Finance and Administrative Services is responsible for monitoring reserve levels and reporting current and projected reserves during each budget development cycle.

City of Cypress Fund Balance Reserve Policy

GENERAL FUND RESERVES
The City shall maintain a Committed Fund Balance of twenty-five percent (25%) of operating expenditures in the General Fund. This fund balance is intended to provide stability in the event of unexpected changes to revenues or expenses. The Committed Fund Balance shall mean the dollar amount of unencumbered fund balance, excluding any amounts held in reserves or otherwise committed funds. The total operating budget for the most recent fiscal year—excluding capital expenditures and transfers out—shall be used to calculate the percentage of operating expenditures.

At the end of the fiscal year, the excess unassigned fund balance in the City's General Fund will be prioritized and presented for City Council consideration as follows:

1. Twenty-five percent (25%) shall stay in the General Fund Balance as unassigned fund balance for unforeseen appropriations that may arise throughout the fiscal year.

2. Up to twenty-five percent (25%) will be transferred to the Employee Benefits Fund until a fund balance reserve is established and maintained equal to current liabilities.

3. Up to fifteen percent (15%) will be transferred to the Self-Insurance Funds - General Liability and Workers Compensation Funds until a fund balance reserve is established to cover the long-term liabilities due within one year (claims payable).

4. The remaining balance will be transferred to Capital Funds: Infrastructure Reserve Fund, Capital Outlay, and Information Technology Replacement.

Replenishment of General Fund Reserves
If the General Fund balance falls below policy reserves as defined above, the City Manager shall prepare and present to the City Council a recommended plan to replenish the reserves.

The City Council shall review and adopt a replenishment plan within twelve months after the policy reserve levels first fall below the minimum levels. Once adopted, the replenishment plan's progress will be reviewed periodically with the City Council but no less than every calendar year until such time as the reserves are replenished to or above the target levels described above.

Conditions for Using General Fund Reserves
The City shall endeavor to avoid the appropriation of fund balance for recurring operating expenditures. If at any time the utilization of a fund balance to pay for operating expenditures is necessary to maintain the quality or a defined level of services, an explanation of the circumstances for the utilization of fund balance and demonstration of strategy through the long-term financial model on future fund balance targets will be included in the budget transmittal letter prepared by the Mayor in the Proposed Budget and deliberated by the City Council.

Reserves may be used at the discretion of the City Council to:

City of Cypress Fund Balance Reserve Policy

1. Provide temporary resources in the event of an economic downturn while expenditure reductions are implemented or alternate sources of revenue are determined;

2. Provide resources to meet emergency expenditures in case of flood, fire, earthquake, landslides or other catastrophic failures; or

3. Provide resources for one-time capital outlay expenditures which include capital equipment as part of the capital improvement plan.

INFRASTRUCTURE FUND RESERVE
The City shall maintain a Committed Fund Balance of thirty percent (30%) of the total sevenyear capital improvement program that is funded by the general fund, plus encumbrances in the Infrastructure Reserve Fund.

POLICY ADOPTION
The Director of Finance & Administrative Services shall be responsible for reviewing and modifying this Policy annually for City Council consideration to ensure its consistency with the overall objectives and its relevance to current law and current financial and economic conditions.

FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
3 POLICY

1. PURPOSE
To establish guidelines for the prudent investment of unexpended funds to maximize security while meeting daily cash flow demands and providing a market rate of return. The investment practices and policies are based on compliance with State law and prudent money management principles.

2. SCOPE
This Statement of Investment Policy (Policy) covers all funds under the City’s control including the Cypress Recreation and Park District collectively referred to herein as the City’s investment portfolio, or portfolio.

This Policy also applies to any bond proceeds. If a bond's trust agreement is more restrictive than this Policy, then the trust agreement supersedes this Policy. The City may delegate its investment responsibility to the fiscal agent to ensure compliance with the bond covenants when managing bond proceeds.

Borrowing money solely for the purpose of investing and earning arbitrage is specifically prohibited.

The Public Agencies Post-Employment Benefits Trust (PARS Trust) is managed under separate investment goals, objectives, and management policies, and as such is specifically excluded from this policy. Additional information can be found in the Investment Guidelines Document for the PARS Trust.

3. PRUDENCE
The City strives to maintain the level of investment of all idle funds as near 100% as possible. All temporarily pooled idle cash is invested under the Prudent Investor Standard, as set forth in California Government Code Section 53600.3.

4. OBJECTIVE
The primary objectives, in priority order, of the City’s investment activities shall be:
a. Safety - The safety and risk associated with an investment refers to the potential loss of principal, interest or a combination of these amounts.

The City will undertake investments in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio.

CITY OF CYPRESS

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
4 b. Liquidity - This refers to the ability to "cash in" at any moment in time with a minimal chance of losing some portion of principal or interest.

The City will maintain sufficient cash and short-term investment instruments which, together with projected revenues, will provide sufficient liquidity to meet all operating requirements as well as unanticipated needs for funds.
c. Return on Investments (Yield) – Yield is the income returned on investments. The Portfolio will be designed with the objective to attain a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with the City’s investment risk constraints and cash flow requirements.

5. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
The City Council, pursuant to California Government Code Section 53601, has primary responsibility for the investment of surplus monies. As authorized under Section 53607, the City Council hereby delegates its authority to invest surplus City funds to the City Treasurer and the Finance Manager. This delegation of authority shall be in effect for one fiscal year. The City Council may renew the authority annually and may revoke the authority at any time.

6. ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Officials, staff members and investment consultants shall disclose to the City Manager any material financial interests with a financial institution, provider, dealer or broker that conducts business with the City.

Officials, staff members and investment consultants will further disclose any personal financial position that could be related to the City’s cash and investment portfolio.

9. REVIEW OF INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
The securities held by the City must be in compliance with Section 8 – Authorized and Suitable Investments at the time of purchase.

The Treasurer shall report to the City Council any major and critical incidences of noncompliance identified through the portfolio review.

If the credit rating of a security in the portfolio is downgraded, the City Treasurer and Finance Manager will monitor the credit risk and evaluate the need to sell the security prior to maturity. When selling securities prior to maturity, losses are only acceptable if (1) the proposed swap/trade can clearly enhance yield (value) over the life of the new security on a total return basis, or (2) to prevent the further loss of principal. Sufficient written documentation to facilitate the audit of the transaction must be maintained. Under Section 53601.6 of the California Government Code, the City may hold prohibited investments until their maturity to avoid incurring a loss. This allows the City to

9 "grandfather" in securities purchased prior to a downgrade or the effective date of new legislation.

13 INVESTMENT PROCEDURES – INTERNAL CONTROL GUIDELINES
I. OBJECTIVES OF INTERNAL CONTROL
Internal control is the plan of organization and all the related systems established by management's objective of ensuring, as far as practicable:
• The orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to management policies.
• The safeguarding of assets.
• The prevention or timely detection of errors and irregularities. • The accuracy and completeness of the accounting records. • The timely preparation of reliable financial information.

II. LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL CONTROL
No internal control system, however elaborate, can by itself guarantee the achievement of management's objectives. Internal control can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives are met, because of its inherent limitations, including:
• Management's typical and practical requirement that a control be cost-effective. • The focus of most controls on recurring, rather than unusual, types of transactions. • Human error due to misunderstanding, carelessness, fatigue or distraction of functions.
• The potential for a person responsible for exercising control abusing that responsibility.
• Frequently, a member of management may be in a position to override controls which management has set up.
• Collusion, where two or more employees conspire to circumvent controls.

III. ELEMENTS OF INTERNAL CONTROL
Elements of a system of internal control are the means by which an organization can satisfy the objectives of internal control. These elements are:
• ORGANIZATION: Specific responsibility for the performance of duties should be assigned and lines of authority and reporting clearly identified and understood. • PERSONNEL: Personnel should have capabilities commensurate with their responsibilities. Personnel selection and training policies, together with the quality and quantity of supervision, are essential.

CITY OF CYPRESS

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
14 • SEGREGATION OF FUNCTIONS: Segregation of incompatible functions reduces the risk that a person is in a position both to perpetrate and conceal errors or irregularities in the normal course of duty. If different people handle two parts of a transaction, collusion is necessary to conceal errors or irregularities. In particular, the functions that should be considered when evaluating segregation of functions are authorization, execution, recording, custody of assets, and performing reconciliations.
• AUTHORIZATION: An appropriate responsible individual should authorize all transactions. The responsibilities and limits of authorization should be clearly delineated. The authorization for a specific transaction or the granting of authority for transactions should be to a position commensurate with the significance of the transactions. Delegation of authority to authorize transactions should be handled carefully.
• CONTROLS OVER ACCOUNTING SYSTEM: Controls over an accounting system include manual and automated procedures carried out independently to ascertain that transactions are complete, valid, authorized and properly recorded.

IV. CASH CONTROLS

1. Cash control procedures include the following:
a. Receipts are reconciled on a daily basis.
b. Amounts are deposited intact.
c. All bank accounts are duly authorized.
d. Bank reconciliations are prepared and reviewed.
e. The posting of cash receipt entries in books is timely. f. Receipt forms are automated, accounted for, and physically secured. g. Proper approval required for write-off of customer accounts. h. Checks are restrictively endorsed upon receipt.
i. Adequate physical security over cash.
j. Individuals who handle cash do not post account records. k. Adequate supervision of Finance Department operations.

2. Significant revenues are confirmed directly with payer and compared with City books to make sure amounts are recorded properly.

3. Cash balances are substantiated by confirming all account balances. Bank reconciliations are reviewed for propriety and recalculated by the auditor. All significant reconciling items on bank reconciliations are verified as valid reconciling items by proving to subsequent bank statements.

16 GLOSSARY OF INVESTMENT TERMINOLOGY
Bankers' Acceptances: Short-term debt instruments issued by a company and guaranteed by a commercial bank. They are time drafts in which a bank accepts the obligation to pay the principal and interest at maturity even if the issuer does not. Essentially, these are bank obligations collateralized by goods being shipped between an exporter and importer. The date of maturity typically ranges between 30 and 180 days.

Basis Point: One one-hundredth of one percent, or 0.01%. Basis points are often used to describe changes in yields on bonds and notes.

Certificates of Deposit (CD): A deposit of funds at a bank for a specified period of time that earns interest at a specified rate. The City does not purchase Certificates of Deposit that are not FDIC insured..

Collateral: Securities or cash pledged by a borrower to secure repayment of a loan or repurchase agreement. Also, securities pledged by a financial institution to secure deposits of public funds.

Commercial Paper: Short-term unsecured promissory notes issued by a corporation to raise working capital. These negotiable instruments are typically purchased at a discount to par value or at par value with interest bearing. Local agencies are permitted by State law to invest in Commercial Paper of the highest ranking or of the highest letter and numerical rating as provided by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO).

Coupon: The annual rate of interest a bond’s issuer promises to pay the bondholder on the bond’s face value.

Credit Risk: The risk to an investor that an issuer will default in the payment of interest and/or principal on a security.

Delivery Versus Payment (DVP): A procedure for settling investment transactions in which the delivery of the security by the seller and the payment for the security by the buyer happen simultaneously by a third-party safekeeping agent. This practice ensures no funds are at risk in an investment transaction as funds are not released until securities are delivered.

CITY OF CYPRESS

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
17 Discount: The difference between the par value of a bond and the cost of the bond, when cost is below par. Some short-term securities, such as Treasury bills and bankers acceptances, are known as discount securities. They sell at a discount from par and return par value to the investor at maturity, without additional interest. Other securities trade at a discount when the coupon rate is lower than the current market rate for securities of that maturity and/or quality.

Interest: The amount earned while owning a security, generally calculated as a percentage of the principal amount.

Investment Trust of California (CalTRUST): A Joint Powers Agency Authority created by local public agencies to deposit funds for investment. CalTRUST is authorized as an investment under California Government Code Section 53601(p). While there is no maximum balance imposed by CalTRUST, the City has established a $50 million limit. CalTRUST offers varying degrees of liquidity, with the short-term option providing that deposits can be converted to cash in 24 hours. Interest is distributed to those agencies participating on a per share basis determined by the amounts deposited and the length of time they are deposited. Interest is paid monthly. CalTRUST retains a portion of the earnings for administrative costs, ranging between 12 and 20 basis points.

Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF): A voluntary investment alternative for local governments and special districts authorized by California Government Code Section 16429.1 et seq. There is no minimum investment period and the minimum transaction is $5,000. Each LAIF account is limited to 15 transactions per month and subject to a maximum balance, currently set by the State Treasurer at $75 million, but subject to change. LAIF offers high liquidity because deposits can be converted to cash in 24 hours with no interest lost. Interest is distributed to those agencies participating on a per share basis determined by the amounts deposited and the length of time they are deposited. Interest is paid quarterly. The State retains a portion for administrative costs, not to exceed five percent of the quarterly earnings.

The pooling of the State's surplus cash with the participant's surplus cash creates a multi-billion dollar money pool and allows diversified investments. In a high interest rate market, the City may do better than LAIF however, in times of low interest rates, LAIF’s yields tend to be higher. The City invests in the Local Agency Investment Fund, whose Investment Policy allows investments in securities not specifically authorized by the City's Investment Policy. However these investments by LAIF are allowable under the California Government Code.

They are high-grade negotiable instruments, paying a higher interest rate than regular certificates of deposit. The primary market issuance is in multiples of $1,000,000, the secondary market usually trades in denominations of $500,000, and smaller lots are occasionally available. As a matter of practice, only the ten largest US banks, where there is a secondary market established for continued liquidity, are considered for investment.

INTRODUCTION
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council,
We are pleased to present the City’s five-year Technology Master Plan. The Plan provides a blueprint for technology investments; much like the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) does for facilities and infrastructure. It also aims to enable the city to enhance the delivery of core municipal services to our community and promote organizational effectiveness.

Plan Overview
The Technology Master Plan projects are funded through a variety of sources including the City’s Technology Investment Fund, which was established over decade ago to provide start-up capital for new technology projects. Additionally, there are accumulated replacement funds set aside (largely from the General Fund) and some restricted monies (such as federally funded police grants) which are available for the replacement of existing technology. The FY 2026-27 Proposed Budget, scheduled for adoption on June 9, incorporates the $626,000 of technology investments included in the first year of this plan.

The technology projects are classified into four categories:
• Customer service projects, which enhance the City’s abilities to serve its customers. • Organizational efficiency/transparency projects, which provide internal process efficiencies and enhance access to records and information through the City’s website. • Technology infrastructure projects, which provide for the replacement of vital existing equipment and invest in anticipated future needs.
• Unfunded future projects (if any) are of interest to staff and may be submitted to the City Council for future consideration. These projects may have significant funding requirements and/or legal barriers to consider prior to inclusion as a funded project in the first year of future Technology Master Plans.

Plan Objectives and Key Considerations
The Technology Master Plan is designed to support the City’s top priorities and strategic initiatives. The projects outlined in the plan extend across all city departments and are developed collaboratively by department directors, staff, and the Information Technology Division. Aligned with the City’s Strategic Plan, the updated Technology Master Plan identifies focused initiatives that advance organizational goals, including expanding digital solutions to improve internal workflows and operational efficiency.

Beyond improving internal operations, the plan also prioritizes modernization of public-facing services to create faster, more accessible processes for residents and businesses. These enhancements are intended to strengthen service delivery, simplify city operations, and provide a more efficient and user-friendly customer experience.

An essential component of the Plan is sustaining a reliable, citywide technology infrastructure replacement cycle. Maintaining current technology allows staff to operate effectively while reducing exposure to hardware failures, software vulnerabilities, and cybersecurity risks. Key investments in the current cycle include upgraded audiovisual systems for conference rooms, replacement of copiers and plotters, and new digital plan review workstations.

Conclusion
The Technology Master Plan continues to play a vital role in advancing Cypress’ technology capabilities. As operational and technological needs have changed over time, the Plan has provided a dependable framework for maintaining modern infrastructure and aligning city services with evolving industry standards and best practices. Its continuing success underscores the need for ongoing assessment, flexibility, and long-term planning.

Looking ahead, the city recognizes the growing impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and anticipates that emerging AI technologies will create new opportunities to improve efficiency, innovation, and service delivery. As a result, AI-related initiatives may become an important focus of future Technology Master Plan projects.

Continued investment in the Technology Master Plan remains critical to sustaining and enhancing the City’s technology infrastructure. The City Council’s leadership and ongoing support will be essential to ensuring Cypress remains prepared to address future operational needs and technological advancements.

Project Title: Council Chamber Audiovisual System Improvements Requesting Dept.: Administration
One-Time Cost: $25,000
Ongoing Cost: N/A
Recommended Year: FY 2026-27
Funding Source: Public, Education, and Governmental Access (PEG) Fund This project is the proposed integration of a web conferencing solution into the Council Chamber audiovisual system. Currently, the city utilizes a web conferencing solution to allow for public remote participation by two-way audio via phone. The web conferencing solution lacks the ability for remote public participants to get the full meeting video that's broadcast online and through cable TV. Integrating a web conferencing solution into the Council Chamber audiovisual system will allow public remote participants to get the full video feed of the broadcast. This solution will also allow for remote council member participation via both audio and video. This will better align the city with recent California state requirements surrounding council meeting requirements (SB707).

Project Title: Council Meeting Broadcast Improvements
Requesting Dept.: Administration
One-Time Cost: $32,000
Ongoing Cost: $14,200 Annually
Recommended Year: FY 2026-27
Funding Source: Public, Education, and Governmental Access (PEG) Fund This project is the proposed upgrade of the current city cable channel signal and equipment to high definition. The signal and equipment are used primarily for live council meetings and council meeting replays as well as informational signage. Currently, the council meeting equipment for the cable TV broadcast is past end of life and no longer supported by Spectrum Business. By proactively replacing this equipment, the risk of equipment failure is mitigated and the quality of the picture broadcast to the cable TV channel would be greatly improved. Replacing video on demand and digital signage equipment would also mitigate aging equipment issues and provide new opportunities for content accessibility.

The city currently uses outdated software and processes for work order tracking and asset management.

The existing tracking system is not directly linked to any infrastructure assets. New integrated software for both work orders and asset management would provide both cost and tracking efficiencies and increase productivity. This software could also be configured to allow City contractors to input data into the system to create accountability and allow staff to manage the productivity of contractors. Staff would recommend a cloud-based system that would not require the utilization of City servers. Staff envision this software will integrate with the public mobile app for 311 reporting by the public.

Given the size, scale and complexity of the project, Public Works will prequalify contractors using the California Department of Industrial Relations procedures. The process includes an extensive questionnaire, a uniform rating system, and multiple reference checks.

Prequalification has served the City well on previous projects, including Arnold Cypress and Lexington Parks, and Myra Avenue Pump Stations No. 2 and 3. Public Works issued a Request for Qualifications from prospective bidders on April 16 and the deadline for submittals is scheduled for May 28.

The Public Contract Code Section 20101(d) requires that public agencies establish a process that will allow prospective bidders to dispute their prequalification ratings. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager and the Director of Public Works to be designated as the appeals panel for the prequalification appeals.

FROM: Jeff Draper, Director of Recreation and Community Services DATE: 05/26/2026
SUBJECT: Award Contract for Public Engagement and Professional Design Services for Baroldi Sycamore Park Expansion, Project 429

RECOMMENDATION

1. Award a contract to MIG for Public Engagement and Professional Design Services for Baroldi Sycamore Park Expansion, Project 429, for $199,797, and authorize a contingency of $30,000;

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the contract agreement; and

3. Approve the reallocation of $39,797 in project cost savings from the Parking Lot Resurfacing Project for this project.

DISCUSSION
Baroldi Sycamore Park, located at 6616 Cerritos Avenue, was established in 1970 following the subdivision of a 22-acre dairy farm, with 1.2 acres donated for park use. The neighborhood park currently includes a picnic pavilion, playground, sand play area, open space, and a walking path.

In 2023, the adjacent 39,000-square-foot property at 6612 Cerritos Avenue was listed for sale, and the City Council directed staff to pursue its acquisition as a rare opportunity to expand park space. Following an appraisal valuing the site at $2.7 million based on its residential development potential, the City successfully purchased the property at the appraised value. This acquisition expanded the park by approximately 88%, increasing its total size to 2.2 acres.

In January, the City Council approved the scope of work for public engagement and professional design services for the Baroldi Sycamore Park Expansion. Recreation and Community Services (RCS) issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for park designers with community outreach expertise and received responses from seven firms.

Consistent with the qualifications-based selection process, proposals were evaluated based on each firm’s experience, approach, and demonstrated competence. After a review of each of the firms’ qualifications, interviews with four firms, and reference checks, two firms were identified as the most qualified. Staff then reviewed cost proposals, conducted good-faith negotiations, and ultimately reached agreement with MIG on a scope and fee that aligned with the City’s project needs and budget.

MIG brings extensive experience in public outreach and park design, including work on similar neighborhood park projects for Southern California cities such as Anaheim, Pasadena, Cerritos, Westminster, and Tustin. Notably, MIG also designed the City’s own award-winning Arnold Cypress Park. The firm has over 40 years of experience and emphasizes a community-driven design approach aligned with the City’s goals for this project.

The negotiated cost for public outreach and design services is within the expected range for a project of this size and complexity. Public outreach and design development are anticipated to take approximately 12 months to complete. A preliminary park design, including options related to project scope and associated costs, is expected to be presented to the City Council for consideration early next year.

BUDGET IMPACT
The $239,797 design cost includes public outreach, design, in-house labor, and contingency, and is higher than the $200,000 project budget. There are sufficient amounts available in the District’s Capital Projects budget to pay the additional $39,797 due to savings from the recently-completed parking lot resurfacing project.

Design Proposal $199,797
Design Contingency $30,000
Labor $10,000
Total Design Estimate $239,797
Total Design Budget $200,000
(Over)/Under Budget ($39,797)
Construction of the park improvements is estimated to cost approximately $2 million, depending on the final scope and selected amenities, and will be incorporated into the FY 2027-28 Budget and Capital Improvement Program. A separate task order for construction support services will be issued to MIG in conjunction with the future construction contract award.

It should be noted that the house is occupied by a tenant on a month-to-month lease agreement. As the project advances toward construction, the City will provide advanced notification to the tenant that the lease will not be renewed, which will result in the loss of approximately $2,384 per month in net rental revenue, based on monthly rent of $2,700 less applicable fees and expenses.

7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION

7.1 California Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

7.2 Disputes; Default. In the event that Contractor is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Contractor for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Contractor of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Contractor may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Contractor is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. If Contractor does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article.

7.3 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Contractor shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et. seq. and 910 et. seq., in order to pursue any legal action under this Agreement.

Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or 8 534942.6

7.4 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term. This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon written notice to Contractor. In addition, the Contractor may terminate this Contract at any time for cause, upon sixty (60) days’ advance written notice to City.

Except where the Contractor has initiated termination, the Contractor shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer. In the event the Contractor has initiated termination, the Contractor shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder, but not exceeding the compensation provided therefore in the Schedule of Compensation Exhibit “C”. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.

7.5 Termination for Default of Contractor. If termination is due to the failure of the Contractor to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Contractor shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Contractor for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.

A party’s consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the party’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the other party’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT “A”

SCOPE OF SERVICES
The Scope of Services will include the following:

Phase I: PROJECT INITIATION AND SITE ASSESSMENT
• Attend a project initiation meeting with City staff to confirm project goals, schedule, and communication protocols.
• Conduct site visit and field reconnaissance with City staff to document existing conditions and confirm opportunities and constraints of site.
• Perform site boundary survey and produce base topographic plan. Collect all pertinent data and information from City regarding the existing site improvements, City provided asbuilts, utilities, drainage, soils, environmental factors, design standards, input from City staff, past community input and any other information that may affect preparation of the Conceptual Site Plans, and Construction Documents.
• Coordinate with City departments and relevant agencies to understand regulatory requirements and potential design limitations.

Phase 1 Meetings:
• Project Initiation
• Site Visit
Phase 1 Deliverables:
• Alta/NSPS Boundary and Topographic Plan
• Existing Conditions Summary
Phase II: COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
• Facilitate two (2) in-person public outreach community workshops, three (3) stakeholder meetings (two Commission meetings and one City Council meeting), and one online survey to collect input on desired park uses and features. MIG will provide printed outreach materials and will manage online survey platform. City will provide distribution of mailers/notices; MIG will prepare notices per City RFI. • Based on the community input, site review, staff input, and gathered information, MIG will develop three Conceptual Site Plans for the park, that will blend the new park space with the existing park. The concepts will include all elements and amenities as described in the RFP, but not limited to: passive recreation areas, ADA compliant prefabricated restroom building, parking lot with required ADA compliant spaces and access, and hardscape, landscaping, irrigation and lighting throughout the park. • Prepare a recommendations memorandum regarding site planning considerations including removal and/or reuse of the existing residential structure, parking layout, and restroom facility.
2 534942.6
• Present three Conceptual Site Plans to City staff, the Recreation and Community Services Commission, and the City Council for review for feedback and direction to inform the preferred Site Concept Plan.
• Based on City staff input and comments on the Conceptual Site Plans will refine the concepts into a single preferred Conceptual Site Plan with preliminary opinion of probable cost (OPC) for approval.

Phase 2 Meetings:
• 2 Community Outreach Meetings
• 3 Stakeholder Meetings
• Present three Conceptual Site Plans
Phase 2 Deliverables:
• Online Survey Results
• Conceptual Site Plans (3)
• Recommendations Memo
• Preferred Conceptual Site Plan with OPC
Phase III: MASTER PLANNING
• Prepare a detailed park master plan based on the approved preferred Conceptual Site Plan, including layout, amenities, grading, hardscape, landscape, irrigation, and sustainable design features.
• Incorporate green infrastructure and water quality measures into the design. • Develop a phasing plan for park improvements, updated OPC, and implementation strategies.
• Present final Master Plan to City staff, the Recreation Community Services Commission, and the City Council for final approval.
• To better communicate the proposed park elements and site lines of the final concept site plan, a series of static and dynamic visualization tools will be employed for this project.

This begins with a detailed digital model that will become the foundation for concept plan refinement. From that model, various views and angles can be explored to illustrate important considerations for proposed park elements. Those views will then be enhanced, using post processing techniques in supporting software platforms to better articulate the feeling and character of those spaces. Lastly, a fly-through animation will be produced to tell the complete story of the design of the park.
• Detailed Digital Model
• A detailed digital model, built in SketchUp, will be the foundation for all the rendering tasks. Differing styles and model elements can be used at different stages of the process to ensure graphic representation of the concept plan align with commensurate level of refinement. Key considerations for the functionality of the model will be based on the ability to interchange various proposed park elements with ease. • 3D Renderings and Photo Simulations
• Building from the digital model, a wide range of vantage points can be selected to illustrate the various aspects of the proposed park elements. Once key views, which best articulate 3 534942.6
the overall vision or highlight specific design elements, are selected, additional detail and refinement will be made in both SketchUp and supporting software platforms. • The digital model base can then be paired with photographs taken from the site to provide ‘before and after’ scenarios from which the view can highlight proposed user experiences. • Fly Through Animation
• Animation within the fly through will be implemented to better communicate the final look and feel of the park design. A lower-quality draft animation will first be produced to ensure that the story has been achieved, prior to completing the final animation.

Phase 3 Meetings:
• Present final Master Plan
Phase 3 Deliverables:
• Park Master Plan
• Phasing Plan and Strategies, Updated OPC
• 3d Color Renderings (5 renderings)
• One (1) Video Fly Through
Phase IV: FINAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
• Based on the City approved site and architectural conceptual development plans and opinion of probable cost, MIG will prepare construction drawings and technical specifications for the proposed improvements in sufficient detail, for the City to approve and for contractor bidding. MIG will hold virtual bi-weekly coordination meetings with City staff during active design and PS&E phases. MIG will coordinate with geotechnical, environmental, and utility consultants as well as with existing utility providers (Golden State Water, Southern California Gas, Southern California Edison, etc.).
• Perform geotechnical soils testing and produce a report with recommendations for pavements, structures, and site improvements. The survey will identify suspect materials and provide documentation to inform demolition planning; however, it is not intended to be a comprehensive pre-demolition survey. Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and any required Supplemental Pre-Demolition Survey will not be included in the base scope and shall be addressed during construction by the Contractor, as required. • Develop technical specifications for 60%, 90% and 100% construction document submittals. Specifications shall be coordinated with City of Cypress Brown Book specifications and Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction “Greenbook”. • Preparation of a Non-Priority Water Quality Management Plan (NP-WQMP). With the assumption that the site redevelopment will be less than 5,000 square feet of impervious area, a Non-Priority Water Quality Management Plan (NP-WQMP) will be prepared for the site.
• Assist with permitting and ensure compliance with applicable local, regional, state, and federal regulations. Permit fees and agency fees are excluded and shall be paid by the City.

MIG will include up to two (2) City permit submittal cycles as part of the Base Scope. • MIG will prepare complete PS&E package submittals at 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100% (final) stages. MIG will coordinate all disciplines and maintain a comment/response matrix to ensure all City and Construction Management Firm comments are fully addressed. 4 534942.6

City Fabrick has assembled a multidisciplinary team whose members not only bring deep expertise in parks, public spaces, and community-serving infrastructure, but also share a proven history of working together on similar public and publicly funded projects across Southern California. The proposed team has collaborated repeatedly across a range of project types—from feasibility studies and entitlement efforts to full PS&E delivery— demonstrating an established workflow, shared communication standards, and an alignment of values that supports efficient project execution.

Over the past five years, City Fabrick and KPFF Consulting Engineers have partnered on close to a dozen assignments requiring structural, civil, and site coordination. These collaborations span park improvements, open space networks, and supportive housing developments, allowing both firms to refine documentation and review processes that support timely approvals and clear communication with public agencies. Recent examples include the 51st Street Greenbelt in Long Beach (2021–ongoing), where KPFF’s civil engineering team provided grading, stormwater, and utility coordination while City Fabrick led landscape architecture, engagement, and implementation strategy. Sweeney and
Associates also supported this project.

This integrated team structure is also currently deployed on the West Los Angeles Veterans Connector project (2022–2024) for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and principal affordable housing development team. In this initiative, City Fabrick led the design of multimodal circulation, complete streets, mobility hub, and open space systems while KPFF provides engineering coordination for utilities, road design, and infrastructure. Sweeney and Associates also supported this project. Delivering work in a federal jurisdiction with multiple concurrent review pathways reinforces the team’s ability to adapt to evolving requirements, navigate complex permitting processes, and maintain project momentum—skills directly relevant to the City of Cypress’s PS&E schedule.

More recently, City Fabrick has partnered with Southwest Group Engineering Consultants on publicly funded projects requiring electrical, HVAC, and energy compliance services. Southwest Group’s Principal Engineer, Roy Lee, PE, brings dual licensure in electrical and mechanical engineering, allowing early and decisive coordination of building systems that prevents design conflicts and reduces the need for late-stage revisions. Their experience designing systems for recreation facilities, parks, and civic environments translates directly to the utility needs of expanding this neighborhood park .

City Fabrick’s nonprofit mission and design care complements the technical rigor of KPFF, Sweeney & Associates, and Southwest Group. Together, they prioritize user experience, durability, and long-term benefit—avoiding unnecessary complexity in favor of clear, buildable solutions that support community use and operational efficiency.

This new park repurposes unclaimed right-of-way to create much needed active open space for this park poor community while establishing formal access to wetlands developed
Los Angeles River.

Unused surplus right-of-way sandwiched between Deforest Avenue and the recently completed Deforest Wetlands provides an ideal canvas to create a scale park that enhances connectivity through the neighborhood, and adjacent elementary school, artificial wetlands, and Los Angeles River regional bike path. The two-block long, one-acre park leverages two dozen mature oak and sycamore trees to provide the sense of a long-established park for this neighborhood.

The existing trees also provide a unique context for designing a youth-oriented, bicycle training course, complete with nearly twenty different street conditions for learning to bike safely. The two ends of the park are anchored by pedestrian plazas, with play spaces and fitness installations in between. 51st Street Park is also designed with new green infrastructure including a bioswale running the length of the greenbelt, providing sustainable stormwater management while separating the roadway from the park’s walking and bike paths.

Project coordination with the Water Replenishment District provides access to multiple testing wells located within the new park. Additional project coordination with the Water Department accommodates to existing water mains and with the County Flood Control Authority to maintain access to their facilities along the Los Angeles River. The team also collaborated with the Public Works Department to incorporate street improvements and ADA access upgrades between the neighborhood and new park.

T he Martin Luther King Jr. Park Vision Plan guides new public and private investments as well as improvements to existing amenities and facilities within and around the park.
his Vision Plan establishes a conceptual design for Martin Luther King Jr. Park that depicts potential improvements of the site and how they interact with each other. Through a robust community-driven design process, neighborhood leaders, community stakeholders, and the public participated in a series of engagement activities with residents, community partners, and City agencies regarding the parks’ existing and potential future amenities, relationships, function, and circulation. As a result of this multi-phase visioning process, the conceptual design and vision plan for the park will determine the extent and nature of the improvements for the project area. The consensus-based design for improving Martin Luther King Jr. Park includes proposed enhancements of varying scales and purpose, providing a grant application-ready proposals to pursue funding through local funding, grants through Proposition 68, Measure A, and other government sources, as well and philanthropy.

The 1.17-acre park, initially named 19th Street Playground, was dedicated by the City of Long Beach on June 13, 1964. After the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, the park was renamed in his honor. Subsequent expansions of the park occurred in 1969 and around 1980, enlarging the park to 8.9 acres with additions like a baseball field, game courts, tennis court, community recreation center, and an outdoor swimming pool. The late 1980s saw the construction of a recreational facility by the Boys and Girls Club. The outdoor swimming pool underwent enclosure in 1996, and additional facilities were added in 2007, funded by various sources, including the Los Angeles County Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond Act of 1992 and the State Safe Neighborhood Park Bond Acts of 2000 and 2002.

The Folsom Street Pocket Park Planning Project studies the possibilities of converting vacant right-of-way land at the intersection of N Gage Ave. and Folsom St. in East LA to a neighborhood pocket park.

City Fabrick engaged the East LA City Terrace community through surveys, focus groups, and interviews to understand their desires for a potential park. This input, combined with site and contextual analysis, informed a conceptual site plan and feasibility study, which City Fabrick presented to the LA County Department of Parks and Recreation to pursue future funding and implementation.

Outreach included flyers, door hangers, signage, emails, and text messages, as well as promoting workshops at community meetings and events. Activities were designed to build on each other yet be flexible for participation at any stage. Visually engaging and fun tools enabled community members of all ages and abilities to relate to the information. Engagement was conducted in both English and Spanish.

Initial site investigation included reconnaissance, literature review, and analysis of a topographic survey and Phase I ESA. Steep elevation gain on the west side and utility networks created constraints. The conceptual plan strategically placed features to work with the topography and minimize disturbance. Community-prioritized amenities—such as native landscaping, a switchback trail, natural playground, and garden—were included. City Fabrick collaborated with engineers to compile a final feasibility study with preliminary hydrology, grading, and structural studies.

La Colmena is a transformative urban micro-farm and community hub located on a formerly vacant, city-owned industrial lot in Santa Ana.

As the first development spearheaded by THRIVE Santa Ana, the city’s emerging community land trust, La Colmena represents a new model for equitable land use that centers resident-led visioning and grassroots ownership.City Fabrick served as the lead designer for the site and building design, landscape architecture, and overall planning efforts. We partnered closely with THRIVE Santa Ana, CRECE, the City of Santa Ana, and local residents to co-develop the vision, conduct inclusive community engagement, and support entitlement and pre-development financing. Construction of the micro-farm was completed in Spring 2025.

The site is anchored by a cluster of repurposed shipping containers that house cooperative small businesses, including a worker-owned café launched by migrant women and a textile studio offering classes in traditional Oaxacan loom techniques. These containers frame a central, shaded gathering space with a stage and flexible seating, serving as the heart of La Colmena.

Surrounding the plaza are individual garden plots, a greenhouse, and a food production and processing area. While the micro-farm activates the eastern portion of the site, food production elements line the north and west edges, preserving the center for community and cultural activity.

A productive landscape advancing food access and community resilience in Downtown Long Beach.

With the growing urgency to address food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic, City Fabrick supported the creation of a new community garden at the Scottish Rite Temple in Downtown Long Beach. The project transformed an underutilized, unpaved portion of the property into a community-serving landscape designed to expand access to fresh, healthy food for nearby residents.

Leveraging CARES Act funding provided by the City of Long Beach, City Fabrick designed a productive urban agriculture space that includes a series of raised planter beds, an urban orchard, and accessible pathways to support volunteer stewardship and ongoing maintenance. The garden produces fruits and vegetables for distribution to community members and local partners serving households with limited access to nutritious food.

The Scottish Rite Community Garden demonstrates how modest site improvements can quickly deliver tangible public health and equity benefits. By converting underused land into a productive landscape, the project strengthens local food systems, supports community-led care and stewardship, and provides a replicable model for integrating food access, open space, and neighborhood resilience in dense urban areas.

The City of Cypress strives to provide a strong sense of community and to maintain safe, culturally diverse and accessible environment. The park is already considered an important space in the neighborhood— a place where families can gather, kids can play, and neighbors can find shade, movement, and connection close to home.

After the expansion the site will provide even more opportunities to activate the neighborhood and connect its residents.

The existing building could be an asset to increase the array of amenities present at the park. It offers the opportunity to add community programming and indoor programs to support the residents (as a gathering space, a resiliency hub, a cultural center).

In the park we currently find a sand pit, swings and play areas, a beautiful tree canopy, and a small patio with picnic tables.

The new acreage could provide perhaps fitness equipment, restroom facilities, dog facilities and diverse amenities for teens and adults alike.

The project offers an exciting
opportunity to expand the
existing Baroldi Sycamore park
and provide a larger recreation
area for the residents.

Approach and Methodology
City Fabrick approaches this assignment with a focus on delivering a park that is functional, community-serving, and straightforward to construct. Our work is centered on the realities of small urban sites — where utilities, visibility, safety, and operational considerations must be addressed early to avoid delays during permitting or construction.

Early Alignment & Clarity
We begin with a structured kickoff and concept refinement process that brings the City team and subconsultants onto the same page about expectations, constraints, and approvals. This step ensures that decisions made early are informed, coordinated, and implementable.

Use-Centered Design
Parks need to be intuitive, safe, and comfortable for daily users.

We evaluate circulation, shade, access, and comfort through a real-world lens, applying demographic and mobility context to help determine where activities should be clustered and how people will arrive and move through the site..

Technical Rigor from the Start
We incorporate permitting requirements, utility feasibility, lighting needs, and any other additional provisions at the beginning of the process so that adjustments do not need to be made late in PS&E. This allows the project to stay within the six-month window without sacrificing quality or clarity.

Documentation Designed for Construction
Our PS&E packages are clear, logically organized, and easy for contractors to interpret. This reduces ambiguity and positions the city for consistent, comparable bids.

of plans is expected to occur after permitting of construction documents has been completed. If the Owner chooses to bid construction documents prior to their completion or prior to permitting, additional comments and/or corrections will need to be incorporated after the bids are received or possibly after construction contracts are signed due to agency comments and inhouse quality control reviews. This will very likely create additional coordination for involved parties, additional services to modify the contract documents, as well as the potential for change orders to the construction contract sum.
→ One (1) bid cycle with Contractor.
→ Provide contractor with clarification of the construction documents and design intent as requested via Request for Information (RFI).

Note: Value Engineering is not included in scope and fee. Any recommendations for changes to design, details or material selections shall occur prior to construction documentation.

TASK 6 - CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION
This proposal has been prepared with the understanding that the General Contractor will be responsible for the establishment and maintenance of the construction management system for this project (e.g., Procore) and will generate RFIs, submittals and documentation of construction workflow and project organization through that system. This includes processing of incoming and outgoing RFI’s, shop drawings and submittals.

Landscape Architectural Construction Document Drawings
will include:

1. Review shop drawings, samples, and product submittals for compliance with hardscape, irrigation and planting plans and specifications.

2. Review digital photographs of plant material, size specifications and nursery sources as provided by Landscape contractor.

3. Note: If during bidding and construction contract administration, a substitution request triggers additional drawing, detailing or coordination time on the part of the Architect; an additional service will be required

4. Requests for Information (RFI). Note: With reasonable promptness consistent with the stage of the Project, City Fabrick shall respond to contractor’s requests for clarification or interpretation.

5. Attend bi-weekly OAC meetings via teleconference, when the schedule and sequence of construction pertains to
the landscape architectural scope, up to a total of twelve (24) meetings. Contractor to provide Meeting Minutes and construction progress reports for electronic distribution.

The revitalization of Fremont Park will be a great improvement for the citizens of Glendale. It has a special character and being the oldest park in the city, an important historical context; it provides a wonderful greenspace and needed
recreational opportunities for the residents who live just north of downtown Glendale. This community, through
several outreach meetings, provided DVDC park planners
with insights related to the park’s use and the current needs for recreation. The slate of improvements we planned will be enjoyed by all: new synthetic turf soccer fields, community center, play spaces, picnic grounds and ball courts. New lighting, easy access, and a full perimeter drive path will ensure better security. New parking, new maintenance
facilities and a refurbished home for the model railroad club will improve this community focal point.

This busy facility includes an active tennis community with regularly scheduled lessons, tournaments, and play days.

There is also a great contingent of drop-in regulars that frequent these courts. An update of the facility was needed, access, lighting and new fencing, and net stations were installed based upon DVDC renovation plans. The courts
were sawcut, patched and resurfaced to accommodate this facility-wide makeover.

There are no parks nor any available parklands in this section of Buena Park. An initial opportunity to provide some
dedicated park facilities at Whitaker School has blossomed into a full of fledged “new” park across three acres of school yard. Through a series of community outreach workshops a plan has emerged with several exciting and unique elements.

In addition to normal park amenities, shaded picnic spaces, play lots restrooms, a jog path and nice open spaces, there will be a STEM themed hardscape plaza, unique geometric ground patterns and other creative play spaces. The basketball court surface will be painted for fraction ball, a math-based ball game. The running/walking track will have distance markers.

The universal accessible play lot is envisioned to have fun, exciting, and challenging elements for all ages. This fully lighted park will host sports activities, family gatherings, and a myriad of recreation opportunities in this under served part of the city. As the property is to be shared with Whitaker Elementary School, a unique agreement between the City and the School District will allow for this great joint use community facility.

This design reimagines the park as an immersive, dynamic outdoor environment centered around play, exploration, and community connection, anchored by an entirely re-envisioned playground experience.

At the heart of the project is a new adventure-driven play environment featuring zip lines that introduce movement, speed, and excitement, alongside sculptural boulder elements that invite climbing, discovery, and physical challenge. These features are carefully integrated to support active play, build confidence, and encourage social interaction for children of all ages, while also creating engaging destinations for families and caregivers. The broader landscape design enhances
circulation, visibility, and comfort, weaving together shaded gathering areas, intuitive pathways, and flexible open spaces that support both everyday use and community events.

Through thoughtful design and layered programming, the
renewed Parque Del Arroyo Verde is envisioned as a vibrant community hub that celebrates outdoor recreation, sparks imagination, and strengthens neighborhood identity—creating a destination that is equally inspiring, inclusive, and enduring.

Wolfson Park, located in the City of Rancho Mirage was
originally built in the 1980’s and features an interactive audio recording hosted by Frank Sinatra. Having successfully
delivered the Rancho Mirage City Hall turf removal and
landscape renovation project, The DVDCreative team
was selected for the Wolfson Park Expansion project,
working hand-in-hand with the city to deliver a design
that meets the communities’ expectations. The overall
design needed to fit within the parks’ existing Victorian style while accommodating new program features. Key
goals and upgrades include the addition of a CV Link trail head and parking lot as well as the removal or turf and addition of new desert friendly water-efficient landscape.

Proposed planting areas expand of the parks existing
program to showcase desert appropriate landscape and
include identification signage. Upgrades also include ADA upgrades, new picnic areas and seating, new dark sky
friendly lighting, a new park monument sign, and an art pedestal which will feature sculpture created by a local artist. The DVDC team also worked with the Braille Institute to develop and refine the parks Braille signage program.

The project is an ongoing multi-phase transformation with a goal to reduce the parks overall water usage, maintenance, and environmental impact.

Primrose Park is envisioned as a new recreational community park for this central section of the city. This park will be the first park installed within the city in over 50 years and was granted funded by Proposition 68. The vision of this new park is a vibrant activity space that would include: a playground, community space for fitness and wellness activities, a walking exercise loop, and new parking lot. The park is enclosed by a boundary fence utilizing decorative metal fence types of pickets within the site and along the alley with screening panels along Primrose Avenue. Just over the fence within the park will be a landscape buffer of planting with an art piece on a pedestal with lighting as a focal point at the corner between the park and parking lot to lead the eye into the site.

A walking exercise loop with rubber surfacing and wayfinding lighting will encircle the whole park with two entries, a main gateway at the center of the site and a secondary gateway along Primrose Avenue, both to be locked at dusk. The play equipment layout has dedicated areas suited for 2-to-5- year old’s and 5-to-12-year old’s which also incorporates a custom flower shaped shade structure within the main piece of equipment. The playground with the theme and layout
inspired by flowers taking elements of the park’s namesake Primroses and Camelias as depicted within the City Seal and logo, also taking elements of the color palette to be used throughout the park.

UNDERSTANDING & APPROACH

WORK PLAN
The 2.2-acre park and expansion site are accessible from all four sides including Cerritos Ave., Almond St., Teakwood St., and Manzanita Cir. Our understanding is that the existing single-family home will be tested for lead and asbestos. This home, constructed in 1961, only nine years before the surrounding properties will be assessed for lead and asbestos prior to making a final determination on its disposition. The park’s final program will be refined through community engagement and may include the addition of a pre-fabricated restroom building in the park. The intent is that the expansion site be cohesive with the existing park site likely protecting the existing trees and providing general improvements.

The existing park site includes a playground with rubberized surfacing, a shade structure, bbqs, benches, sand play area, paved meandering pathways, and a metal picket safety fence. The existing trees include mature Sycamores, Pines, and dense Mulberries. The trees will be assessed by our arborist for health, vitality and structural safety.

Landscape and irrigation are integral to the design and will include low maintenance drought-tolerant shrubs and ground covers, climate appropriate canopy trees, and open turf. The existing park has two backflow devices located on Teakwood which may be connected to a single water meter. Our team will investigate and provide an appropriate solution to upsize the meter to accommodate the expansion site as well as separate the domestic water line for the drinking fountain and restroom.

The current lot is a blank canvas, devoid of existing trees or utility connections. Our strategy involves seamless coordination for all new services: water meters, electrical hookup, and sewer connections.

TASK 1 - PROJECT INITIATION AND SITE ASSESSMENT
The design team led by DVDC will prepare initial site assessments including survey, environmental negative declaration, lead and asbestos report, and an arborist report. At the project initiation meeting we will confirm project goals, establish the project schedule, communication protocols, and strategize how to effectively engage the community.

As we dig deeper, we’ll collect as-built plans and coordinate with your maintenance crew to understand the site’s “inner workings”—from irrigation to electrical. To ensure we have all the answers for the public, we prefer to have our reports in hand before the first outreach meeting. • Kick-off Meeting. Syncing goals, establish schedule, and communication protocols to ensure a smooth partnership. • Data-Driven Design.

WORK PLAN
recommendation is to prepare the geotechnical report and infiltration test in Task 3 when we have a better understanding of the parking lot and site layout.

TASK 2 - COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
Our approach includes community outreach to refine and finalize the parks program. In 2026, we have already led outreach meetings in Norwalk, Baldwin Park, Lawndale, and Lake Forest. To maximize community participation, our team recommends hosting three outreach meetings. The first two will be identical engagement sessions—one on a weekday evening and one on a Saturday morning—ensuring residents can provide input at a time that fits their busy schedules.
• Three-Meeting Strategy. Ensures comprehensive community coverage and feedback.
• Flexible Scheduling. Offers both weekday and weekend options to eliminate conflicts.
• Consistent Content. Provides the same engagement opportunities at both initial sessions for equal access.

Led by the DVDC team, the first two meetings at Baroldi Sycamore Park will feature a site walk to identify assets and challenges. We’ll host a design charrette, inviting residents to be “landscape architects for a day” to brainstorm amenities and programming. At the third community outreach meeting, DVDC will present three conceptual plans to the community to garner recommendations and a consensus before preparing a final master plan. At this meeting we will present the outreach finding to validate proposed programming and park amenities.

To support these sessions, we will provide:
• Visual Exhibits: Large-scale graphics and project boards for in-person review.
• Conceptual Plans: 2D colored illustrative plans depicting three options generated from input received at the initial outreach meetings. Character imagery representing proposed program amenities.
• Project Story Map: A dedicated ArcGIS StoryMaps website (accessible via QR codes) featuring project milestones, schedules, arborist reports, and conceptual plans.
• Outreach Fliers and Online Surveys: As an optional service DVDC can provide fliers and door hangers, incorporating QR codes to direct residents seamlessly to project surveys and the detailed Story Mapping Website.
• We currently have example project StoryMaps websites live for many of our other projects including Holifield Park in Norwalk and Cavanaugh Park in Lake Forest. The websites include project descriptions, exhibits, outreach summaries and photos, project schedule, arborists report summary and tree imagery, and conceptual plans, and can be updated at each milestone.

TASK 3 - MASTER PLANNING
Following City staff feedback, we will prepare one detailed color rendered 2D Master Plan based on the approved preferred concept. This plan will 23 EXPANSION OF BAROLDI SYCAMORE PARK, CITY OF CYPRESS

WORK PLAN
include the final proposed layout, amenities, initial grading, landscape and highlight sustainable design features and efficient smart irrigation. It will be accompanied by character imagery and full landscape palette including WUCOLS plant factors for trees, shrubs, groundcovers, and bio-swales.

Green infrastructure and water quality measures will be incorporated into the design. As a part of Task 3 we will engage our Geotechnical Engineer to prepare a soils report including one infiltration test. Our design philosophy centers on sustainability and Low Impact Design (LID). All improvements will be energy efficient, integrating durable, low-maintenance design features. The proposed landscape will be entirely climate-appropriate and drought-tolerant, utilizing the WUCOLS database for plant selection and located within intelligently matched hydrozones.

Master Plan exhibits will include a phasing plan and if needed, grant specific diagrams and take-offs to assist in pursuing State and local grants.

An opinion of probable construction cost will be included, and we will with you and your team to strategize the path forward. The Master plan will be presented to City staff, and the Recreation and Community Services Commission, and to the City Council for Approval. An optional task will be included for a mitigated negative declaration letter to be prepared by Dokken Engineering.

TASK 4 – FINAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
Our collaborative team is excited and primed to deliver! Dokken Engineering will expertly manage Surveying, lead Civil Engineering tasks including grading and wet utility coordination with Golden State Water, and evaluate the feasibility of a new prefabricated restroom building and utility connections. Dokken will prepare a WQMP and coordinate with the City’s storm water management consultant. They can also provide optional Environmental tasks as outlined in their proposal.

VELA Engineering will provide comprehensive Electrical Engineering services, including SCE coordination, power distribution, site lighting design, photometrics, and security camera placement. Security coordination encompasses specifying the City’s preferred equipment vendor and locating conduit, power, and data connections if needed. The staff at VELA has partnered with DVDC on hundreds of park projects and are very familiar with residents’ concerns of unwanted light spill. We have recent experience utilizing bollard lights at Woldson Park in Rancho Mirage, and pedestrian scale eight-foot LED poles at Parque De Arroyo Verde in Placentia. We will implement a lighting design for Baroldi Sycamore Park that effectively eliminates light trespass into the surrounding neighborhood.

The approved Master Plan will serve as the basis of design for the Construction Documents. Final reports including an agronomic soils analysis will be provided and arborists report will be prepared to accompany the already completed geotechnical Report & infiltration testing (Task 3), and Lead and Asbestos Survey (Task 1).

SUBMITTALS
Construction Documents will be submitted at 30%, 60%, 90% and Final.

Specifications will be formatted to the City of Cypress Brown Book 24 EXPANSION OF BAROLDI SYCAMORE PARK, CITY OF CYPRESS

WORK PLAN
specifications and Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction “Greenbook”. 30% specifications will consist of an outline. 90% and Final specifications will include special provisions payment item descriptions.

After the 30% submittal we will engage our structural engineer to prepare engineered details and calculations for low walls, fences, gates, light pole footings, one prefabricated building foundation, and various other site elements excluding post-tension slabs.

OPINION OF PROBABLE CONSTRUCTION COST
All submittals will include updated opinions of probable construction costs based on market trends, vendor pricing, and our current and on-going park projects. We will also provide an analysis of cost savings for owner furnished contractor installed (OFCI) and whether these items can be provided through cooperative agreements such as SourceWell.

RENDERINGS
The DVDC team in-house staff can provide 3D color renderings, photosimulations, and video fly-overs of the final proposed park layout. We regularly provide this service for Cities, Museums, Zoos, and Theme Parks.

We understand the importance of a 3D model as a tool to study views and sightlines. Our team utilizes Lumion for photo realistic renderings and flythrough animations.

PERMITTING
The DVDC team will assist the City with permitting and ensuring compliance with applicable local, regional, state, and federal regulations.

Plans will be drafted in AutoCAD using City-provided title blocks on 24x36 or 30x42 sheets, generally prepared at 10 or 20-scale. All plans are submitted in a seamless PDF package format. Reimbursables will cover essential printing, mounting, and delivery costs.

AGENCY SUBMITTALS & PLAN CHECK
Final Construction Documents will undergo two to three rounds of plan check correction submittals to the Building Department. Agency submittal fees will be paid by the City. Upon approval, we will assemble the complete Bid Package. The City will prepare front-end specifications, including contract and bidder requirements, while DVDC prepares the official Bid Form and provides input on the project schedule and specific front-end requirements. Bidding support and construction period services are not included in our proposed scope of services. Our assumption is that these services will be provided under a separate contract.

CREATIVE, ALL-INCLUSIVE &

MULTI-GENERATIONAL PLAYGROUNDS

WORK PLAN
DVDCreative creates fantastic, wonder-filled, memorable play lots. Our firm has been widely recognized for delivering outstanding public park play environments that have garnered praise and accolades from local communities.
• Our whale fossil interpretive play space in Laguna Hills has been featured online blogs, local and regional newspapers and national magazines.
• The wagon train and pioneer play environment in Pioneer Park, Tustin, won several regional and state-wide awards, and was selected for a recognition by the National Recreation and Park Association. • Our Stanton Train Park, Central Park, is featured in the CPRS District Ten Hall of Fame.
• Admiral Kidd Park, an award-winning play space, features kid size replicas of the four boats named for the Admiral. This Long Beach park was a featured stop on the state park operations annual tour of premiere park facilities.

Our play space design philosophy is built on the perspective of a kids-eyeview. Adventure, surprise, familiar and challenging settings, and themes, memorable spaces. Kids may not know the proper name of the park, but they know that there is a special play lot at airplane park, rocketship park, baseball coach park, train park, and tree house park. The goal is to create an immersive environment that will engage guests and create lasting memories.

We recognized the importance of providing for multi-generational intermingling, on the play lot, as caregivers overseeing the play space and for adults a calm, shaded comfortable surveillance spot to enjoy the space at the park. Our play area design reputation has lead to collaborations with all-access advocates and organizations. We have designed several park play environments as the lead landscape architect for Shane’s Inspiration.

This work and design workshops with emotionally and physically challenged stakeholder advocates has informed our design perspective on inclusive, accessible, and caregiver insights that influences our play lot design. One of DVDC’s most recent Shane’s Inspiration play lots is located in El Cariso Park, an LA County Park. At this park the interactive multi-story “equipment” is the center piece of an elaborate all access play environment. Access for all is provided within the terraced natural slope of the existing park terrain. There is plenty of seating for caregivers, play pieces that encourage multi-generational, multi-fun seeker collaborative play opportunities. This is a special park, well worth a trip to this Sylmar Community Park.

SUSTAINABILITY &

LOW IMPACT DESIGN

WORK PLAN
DVDCreative is committed to delivering public landscapes that are sustainable and beautiful. We embrace the principles of design that encourage stewardship of our resources, respect for the environment and creative sustainable practices. Through our affiliation with LEED’s, we identify and quantify the sustainability of our designs. Our team has extensive experience with Public Works Agencies delivering storm water management practices that mimic natural hydrological cycles.

We implement integrated management practices into every project.

Low Impact Design development (LID) is an alternative site design strategy that uses natural and engineered infiltration and storage to control storm water where it is generated. Projects under LIDs design are uniquely site specific in their effort to reduce runoff and volume, reduce pollutants and fertilizers, and maintain pre-development surface temperatures. All of which are problematic for conventional storm water management. Key goals include reducing downstream flooding, erosion, and scour from natural waterways. Benefits of LID practices include cost saving over expensive infrastructure. Utilizing bio-swales and sunken lawns allow for the discernment and infiltration of runoff. Bio-swales offer opportunities for biodiversity utilizing native plant material that can remedy the degradation of native habitats. Additionally, LID aesthetics can enhance and beautify the built environment and landscapes by use of pervious pavers and alternative natural paving materials.

A beautiful and sustainable landscape starts with a clear understanding of the client’s requirements, the site and environs and a creative approach to the design process. Water efficiencies, energy use reductions, waste reduction, recycled content and localized material’s sourcing can all be quantified and are an integral part of our design. Resource conservation through the use and specification of recycled and reused materials and identification of locally sourced goods are important sustainability issues. Water resources are conserved through our thoughtful low water use planting schemes, precise irrigation layout and control systems, as well as, stormwater capture, cleaning and reuse. For pollution prevention, stormwater recycling plans are embraced and integral to our designs.

On-site water detention, bio filtration, permeable pavement, and many other measures are creatively incorporated into the landscapes we design.

DVDC is dedicated to the opportunity and challenge of creating unique spaces and special places that draw inspiration from the environs and the community. DVDCreative believes the very definition of sustainability speaks of environments that are well used and enjoyed, and maintainable over time. We at DVDC believe that the ultimate measure of sustainability of any public space has to be high use and enjoyment over the long term.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

WORK PLAN
At DVDCreative (DVDC), every community-inspired design program begins with a strong and inclusive public engagement process.

We believe the best parks come from the people who use them, which is why our approach starts with a participatory community brainstorming session. This initial meeting is designed to be a creative and collaborative experience where community members can share their visions and values for the future of their park. Prior to this session, our team will conduct thorough site visits and review all relevant documents and plans. We’ll also coordinate closely with city staff to gather preliminary “seed” ideas and insights. DVDC will assist in preparing outreach materials—both written and visual—to help get the word out and invite the community to be a part of the park’s design.

The first workshop will open with a site tour, allowing participants to connect with the space firsthand. We’ll then introduce concepts and themes—those “seed” ideas—to prompt discussion and ignite inspiration. Our goal is to guide a thoughtful and open-ended conversation, encouraging participants to explore possibilities around recreation, family-friendly features, and meaningful enhancements that make the park more vibrant and inclusive.

From there, the DVDC team will take what we’ve heard and develop a series of initial concept plans that synthesize the community’s input.

These concepts will be reviewed with city staff in a focused idea refinement meeting. Using that feedback, we’ll fine-tune the strongest ideas into conceptual plans for the community to review during a second, more structured workshop. At this stage, participants will have the opportunity to provide input on the draft concepts, helping shape a vision that truly reflects their priorities. Community consensus will guide us in finalizing the program elements for the draft master plan.

DVDC will then prepare a complete draft master plan and accompanying design report, which will be shared with the broader public and reviewed by the Commission or City Council. With leadership direction, we will finalize the master plan—capturing a clear and visually compelling strategy for the site’s future development. The final report will also document the entire outreach process, highlight the community-driven program elements, and include a preliminary construction budget to guide implementation.

At DVDCreative, we know that authentic community workshops are the most effective way to understand and respond to the public’s aspirations. When residents are invited to shape their public spaces, it creates a true sense of ownership—leading to parks that are not only well-used but also well-loved and cared for over time.

GRAPHIC & RENDERINGS

WORK PLAN

WHAT IF A VISUALIZATION OF AN IDEA COULD BRING CLARITY
TO THE DESIGN INTENT? COULD ALLOW FOR ENLIGHTENED
CONSIDERATION AND UNDERSTANDING?
The DVDCreative studio has a robust graphic design component, and skilled professionals adept at delivering graphics and images, including immersive 3-dimensional fly throughs that communicate our design ideas before moving ahead with the project’s engineering.

Communication is the key to understanding. The photo-realistic renderings, computer-generated 3D models, and images of the project style, detailing, form, and function provide a clear understanding of the project concepts. Our creative and innovative designs are beautifully rendered for review and consideration of civic leaders, our collaborative partners, and the general public.

Our visualizations have resulted in great feedback and design considerations, great “Now I Get It” moments, and enthusiastic approvals of concepts, ideas, and projects.

The DVDC team has proven capabilities for the graphic presentation of the ideas and the layout for review of the park’s conceptual layout. We will prepare artist renderings, 3D fly through videos and photo realistic pictures to describe the many elements we plan to include in this development. We will ready all our renderings for social media posting and for use in city communications. 29 EXPANSION OF BAROLDI SYCAMORE PARK, CITY OF CYPRESS

RE: Recommendation in Support of David Volz Design Landscape Architects To Whom It May Concern:

The City of Cypress has collaborated with David Volz Design on several important park development and landscape projects. The recently completed city-wide Median Restoration Project, an APWA award-winning project, restored the landscaped medians and parkways throughout the City with new drought-tolerant landscaping and dripirrigation systems, providing for a cohesive design aesthetic throughout the city, while also conserving water in light of the recent droughts. DVD and their team provided exceptional service throughout the project and prepared high quality construction documents.

I would highly recommend to any agency the firm of David Volz Design. My contact information is listed below. Please contact me for further comments in support of this firm.

RE: Recommendation in Support of David Volz Design Landscape Architects, Inc.

To Whom It May Concern:

David Volz Design has provided high quality design and consulting services to the City of Garden Grove for many years. They have provided park planning, provided leadership at public outreach meetings, provided creative park design, developed construction documents and provided construction period services on several park projects.

One notable project is the Woodbury Park Revitalization Project, which includes a high level of design and a team of sub-consultants under David Volz Designs’ contract. This project is a Prop 68 grant award that will allow a complete renovation, of an under used park, to be brought back to life for an underserved community. DVD has done an outstanding job of meshing the needs of the community with the design request of the Parks and Rec Commission and staff.

DVD has always provided the City of Garden Grove with high quality professional service for these projects and many others. I highly recommend David Volz Design to your agency.

Philosophy
Planning, designing and building a project to meet today’s needs is an all encompassing challenge. The practice of landscape architecture has become an integrated team effort, carefully considering the needs and desires of the people who live, work and play within the projects we design. As landscape architects and planners, we have a responsibility to the general public to create the best possible environment. The knowledge to design this environment is obtained from two sources, our past experience; which help us provide practical and timely designs within budget restraints, and our vision of the future; which gives our designs life and meaning that will grow beyond the present.

Optional SOW #1 – Perform CEQA Environmental Review
Under RFP Task 3, the City requests that an optional task be included in the proposal to perform CEQA environmental review for the proposed project, anticipated to be an IS/ND or IS/MND.

Based upon our experience with similar projects, this Optional SOW includes the following items:

1. For task kick-off and ongoing task communication/coordination, attend up to three virtual 1-hour meetings with HAI and City staff to confirm project, site, and City CEQA and decision-maker requirements by one Yorke staff person.

2. Prepare CEQA-compliant project description relying on information from HAI and the City for confirmation of project details (to include summary of potential environmental concerns, adjacent land uses, and existing utility connections and public services);

3. Rely on existing City data to compile a summary-level description of CEQA baseline setting for biology, cultural and historic resources; surface water, drainage, public services and utilities, community character, traffic, circulation, and parking associated with the area of potential effect for the park expansion.

4. Address direct and indirect impacts of construction and operation of the project in conformance with the City’s accepted IS checklist subject to the issue area topics identified below, CEQA Guidelines, Thresholds Manual, identify applicable federal, State, and local regulations and prepare an Administrative Draft IS, using existing figures, site plans, and City plans and policies. Based upon our understanding of the project, environmental impacts associated with the one-acre expansion will be minimal and discussed qualitatively. If additional effort is needed to determine potential impacts, Yorke will coordinate with HAI and the City to determine the appropriate path forward; and

5. To quantify air emissions, Yorke will calculate construction and operational emissions using the California Emissions Estimator Model® (CalEEMod). The CalEEMod results will also be used for GHG emissions. Except for air quality and GHG, we propose including concise summary narratives that will be qualitative for other CEQA topics that will not require Yorke to prepare technical reports or that can rely on technical studies prepared by others.

Incorporation of up to two rounds of comments are included for each deliverable.

Optional SOW #2 – Prepare CEQA Exemption Justification Memorandum As noted above, Yorke’s experience with similar projects suggests that the park expansion may qualify for a CEQA Exemption. This optional SOW #2 includes preparing a justification memorandum for granting a CEQA Article 19 Section 15332 Class 32 Infill Development CatEx for the proposed project. We will perform the following tasks as necessary:

Yorke will prepare a brief justification memorandum for granting a CEQA Class 32 Infill Development CatEx. Class 32 consists of projects characterized as infill development meeting the following conditions:
a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies, as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations. b) The proposed development occurs within the City limits on a project site of no more than 5 acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
c) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and
e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.

As part of this memorandum, in addition to discussing the conditions listed above, Yorke will provide a high-level narrative addressing the direct and indirect impacts of construction and operation of the project in conformance with the City’s accepted CEQA issue area topics using existing figures, site plans, and citing City plans and policies, as appropriate. It is expected that environmental impacts associated with the one-acre expansion will be minimal and discussed qualitatively. This brevity is based on our understanding of the project; if additional effort is needed to determine potential impacts, then Yorke will coordinate with HAI and the City and review the tasks identified in Optional SOW #1 to determine the appropriate path forward.

For item (d), Yorke will calculate construction and operational emissions using the California Emissions Estimator Model® (CalEEMod). The CalEEMod results will also be used for GHG emissions. Except for air quality and GHG, we propose including concise summary narratives that will be qualitative for other CEQA topics that will not require Yorke to prepare technical reports or that can rely on technical studies prepared by others.

Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2, a CatEx may not be used if any of the following six exceptions apply:1
a) Location: Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11 qualify relative to the project location; a project that is ordinarily insignificant in its impact on the environment may, in a particularly sensitive environment, be significant; therefore, these classes are considered to apply in all instances, except where the project may impact an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, State, or local agencies;
b) Cumulative Impact: All exemptions for these (CatEx) classes are inapplicable when the cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time, is significant.
c) Significant Effect: A CatEx shall not be used for an activity where there is a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances.
d) Scenic Highways: A CatEx shall not be used for a project that may result in damage to scenic resources, including but not limited to trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources, within a highway officially designated as a State scenic highway; this does not apply to improvements that are required as mitigation by an adopted ND or certified EIR;
e) Hazardous Waste Sites: A CatEx shall not be used for a project located on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code; and f) Historical Resources: A CatEx shall not be used for a project which may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.

It is assumed that none of the six exceptions above apply to the park expansion project.

If they do apply and hence a CatEx is not feasible, then Optional SOW #1 would be chosen.

Yorke also assumes that there will be one round of review by the City and any comments on the draft memorandum will be provided in a timely manner for incorporation into the final memorandum. The memorandum will form the basis to complete the one-page CEQA Notice of Exemption Form for Class 32 Infill Development that will be provided to the City.

Deliverable: Class 32 Exemption Justification Memorandum provided electronically in Adobe Acrobat© (.pdf) format, ready for printing copies as needed for submittal to the City. Completed CEQA Notice of Exemption Form, including Justification Memorandum, for delivery to the City for posting

Project: Morgan Park City Yard Contact: Jessica Galloway, Project Manager Client: City of Perris [email protected]
Status: Complete July 2025
Construction Cost: $3,500,000
Lead Consultant: HAI
Project Description
The City of Perris identified a need to expand its existing Park Maintenance Yard. Hirsch & Associates, Inc. (HAI) had recently completed the design of a new artificial turf soccer facility and parking area at Morgan Park, making it a natural progression for HAI to design the next phase of improvements.

The City Yard project included an expanded parking lot, a street extension to improve access, a new prefabricated office building with meeting rooms, shower facilities, and offices, as well as new walls and electric gates securing the yard. A prefabricated metal garage building was also added.

Energy-efficient lighting, drought-tolerant landscaping, and modern irrigation systems provided the finishing touches to a highly functional facility that enhances park staff operations.

Project Description
Orizaba Park is an existing 2.73 acre park located within an area of the City with high density residential as well as industrial and commercial retail uses. The Long Beach Redevelopment Agency purchased a number of blighted properties and cleared the land to make way for an additional 1.09 acres of park space. The site is bisected by the abandoned Pacific Electric right of way. The concept included a railroad walkway within the right of way. Artist Patrick Vogel created a stainless steel replica of the red car that traveled to Long Beach, it is sited at the terminus of the tracks. The improvements also include new community center (Phase II), basketball courts, above grade skate park, shade/picnic shelters, outdoor exercise circuit, drinking fountains, benches, open turf and a community garden. HAI provided services for master planning of the park including the community outreach program where HAI conducted (3) meetings with local residents and stake holder groups.

HAI prepared construction documents for bid as well as provided construction support services to the City for a successful completion.

Project Cost Project Size
$2.5 Million 3.5 acres
Project Description
The property that is now Griffith Manor Park was
originally part of the Glendale Airport and dates
back to the 1920’s and housed the US Army Air
Corp planes, pilots and grew during World War
II. After the airport was removed the property
was developed as a public park in the 1950’s
serving the surrounding industrial companies
and residents.

As part of the City’s Park and Recreation Master
Plan the park was designated for redevelopment in 2006. HAI was selected by the City to prepare a park master plan and conduct
community workshop to determine the needs
of the surrounding community. From these
workshops the community desired to remove
the outdated community building and picnic
facilities, preserve the existing mature trees,
construct a new community building, picnic
facilities, splash pad, children play areas, full
size basketball court and on-site parking. The
park meets all NPDES sustainability standards
by retaining all storm water on site for infiltration into the ground water aquifer.

Project Description
HAI provided comprehensive services for this grant-funded park renovation project, including Community Outreach, Conceptual Design, Construction Documents and Bidding, Construction Management, and Labor Compliance. HAI was the lead consultant and included Charles Foley, Naomi Hirsch, Jacob Laurentowski. Additionally, we had electrical, structural and civil engineering and Construction Manager sub consultants.

The project revitalized an existing neighborhood park, transforming it into a vibrant, multi-generational recreational space. Key improvements included the installation of new play equipment with rubberized safety surfacing, solar lighting, shaded picnic areas, a hydration station, comfortable seating, outdoor exercise equipment, and drought-tolerant landscaping. A new power service was also installed and coordinated with Southern California Edison (SCE).

This thoughtful renovation significantly enhanced the park’s usability and appeal. Since the completion of construction, community use of the park has increased exponentially, and it is now a cherished gathering place for residents of all ages.

Project Description
The former neighborhood library had been closed for years, left vacant and covered in graffiti.

The Poppy Park project will transform this derelict site by removing the abandoned building and creating new green space for the community. With strong support from local residents, HAI reimagined the space as a passive park, expanding the open space by closing an adjacent street and converting it into parkland. Salvaged structural beams from the original library will be repurposed into a shade trellis, accented with custom poppy panels that provide both shade and dynamic shadow patterns for visitors seated beneath. The park will feature drought-tolerant landscaping, stormwater capture and infiltration, and strategically placed walls and panels to buffer users from surrounding traffic. Once complete, Poppy Park will be a source of pride for the neighborhood and the city, turning a long-neglected property into a vibrant and welcoming community space.

GSD is implementing its Biosolids and Energy Program at its water resource recovery facility in Goleta, which requires obtaining permits and approvals for the proposed new equipment. The initial project included a new digestor, conversion of an existing digester for biogas storage, and a combined heat and power (CHP) engine system, including biogas pretreatment. Yorke’s roles (as a subcontractor to Hazen and Sawyer) included conducting an initial permitting feasibility study, preparing the APCD Authority to Construct (ATC) application, and an IS/MND for the project, with GSD as the Lead Agency. Preparation of the ATC application included a Best Available Control Technology (BACT) assessment and toxic air contaminant (TAC) emissions calculations, an HRA, and review of applicable regulations.

As the lead for preparation of the IS/MND, Yorke prepared the Air Quality, Health Risk, and GHG Emissions Technical Reports and compiled the other IS/MND sections. Yorke assisted GSD with the noticing, distribution, and public comment period associated with the IS/MND. In addition to supporting the air permitting with the APCD, the IS/MND was also used to support obtaining a Coastal Development Permit from the County, who manage a delegated program. The IS/MND was approved by the GSD Board with only minor comments from the APCD.
