6. CITY COUNCIL/STAFF COMMENTS (Including reports from
conferences and regional meetings)
Councilmember Gharpetian asked staff to explore what can be done in the short and long term to improve safety at the intersection of Wabasso and Verdugo. He also asked the City Clerk to explain who approves candidate ballot designations and who manages ballot drop boxes. Additionally, he requested that staff conduct a survey of completed street projects, such as San Fernando Road, to evaluate the results of previous street design modifications and help inform future street design decisions.
City Clerk Dr. Abajian stated that the City Clerk’s Office reviews and approves ballot designations, ensures they comply with official guidelines, and consults with county elections officials whenever questions arise. She noted that the County Clerk’s Office selects the locations of ballot drop boxes and collects ballots from them on a daily basis through election day. She added that the City Clerk’s Office identified the need to relocate a ballot drop box at the library due to construction and worked with the County Clerk’s Office and the Glendale Public Works Department to move it to another area of the library grounds away from the construction activity.
Councilmember Najarian called for an election watchdog or referee, noting what he believes to be improper election practices, including a candidate meet-and- greet at Glendale Community College where only some GCC Board candidates were invited. Mayor Kassakhian stated that this claim was false and noted that the event organizers had shown him emails demonstrating that invitations had been sent to all candidates. Councilmember Najarian also celebrated the opening of the Metro D Line segment from Union Station to Beverly Hills over the weekend. He further shared information with the public regarding how the Council conducts Closed Session meetings.
City Attorney Garcia provided additional clarification regarding Closed Session meetings.
Councilmember Asatryan expressed support for candidates engaging with students from colleges and schools, stating that such involvement promotes civic engagement and volunteerism. Councilmember Gharpetian stated that he has never campaigned at a school or college.
Councilmember Brotman requested that the Police Chief provide an update on traffic enforcement at a future meeting. He also requested an update on the speed camera pilot program and asked about his previous request regarding a new law that allows cities to pilot red-light camera programs using a similar approach. In addition, he referenced the City of Los Angeles’ adaptive reuse ordinance and requested either a memorandum or an agendized discussion on 19 of 745

the topic.
City Clerk Dr. Abajian reminded the public that campaign signs should be placed on private property and not within the public right-of-way. She asked residents to notify the City Clerk’s Office of improperly placed signs so staff can alert Code Enforcement to remove them. She also reminded the public that the last day to register to vote is May 18, 2026. Residents who miss that deadline may still register at the 11-day and 4-day vote centers and cast a provisional ballot.
Locations of ballot drop boxes and vote centers can be found at glendalevotes.org.
Mayor Kassakhian asked the public to report signs they believe are improperly placed rather than removing them themselves.
Interim Police Chief Robert William shared that May 15, 2026, is Peace Officers Memorial Day and that Police Week serves as a time to honor and remember the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment of law enforcement professionals in Glendale and across the country. He announced that on May 15 at 7:00 a.m., a small private gathering would be held in front of Glendale Police Department headquarters to honor the four Glendale police officers who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Mayor Kassakhian shared that he attended the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) meeting the previous week, where housing affordability, regional emergency preparedness, and planning for large-scale events such as the World Cup and Olympic Games were among the primary topics discussed.
He also noted that he would be attending a conference hosted by Google the following week regarding the company’s artificial intelligence tools. The budget study session scheduled for the following day had been postponed, and the next session would be held on Thursday, May 21, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. He announced that the Children’s Clothing and Book Swap would take place on May 13, 2026, at Glendale Central Library.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Program will repair damaged sidewalks and other infrastructure, improving safety and accessibility in the District 12 of city.
On May 6, 2026, nine bids were received for the District 12 ADA Curb Ramp Installation and Sidewalk Repair Program, and after a thorough review, staff determined that Kalban, Inc.’s (Kalban) bid to be a responsive bid from a responsible bidder.
The intent of this item is for the City Council to award a contract to Kalban that will cost $2,575,317 with a 20 percent construction reserve of $515,063, totaling $3,090,380.
Additionally, a resolution of appropriation is needed to appropriate funds from the State Gas Tax Fund to fund this project.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the motion authorizing a construction contract with Kalban for the District 12 ADA Curb Ramp Installation and Sidewalk Repair Program, in the amount of $2,575,317 plus a 20 percent construction reserve of $515,063 and approve the resolution of appropriation to appropriate funds in the amount of $3,347,912 from the State Gas Tax Fund for the Project.

ANALYSIS
As part of the Public Works Department’s ongoing efforts to improve the condition of the city’s sidewalks, the plans and specifications were prepared for the District 12 ADA Curb Ramp Installation and Sidewalk Repair Program.
The project scope of work includes the following:
Selective removal, repair, and reconstruction of damaged curbs, gutters, sidewalks, driveways, cross gutters, and alley aprons;
Selective removal, repair, and reconstruction of damaged asphalt and Portland cement concrete pavements;
Installation of new ADA compliant curb ramps where none existed; and Modification and reconstruction of existing ramps to meet current ADA standards.
The proposed project includes improvements that will comply with current Federal ADA guidelines.
On March 31, 2026, the City Council adopted the project plans and specification and authorized the City Clerk to advertise the project for bids. The project was advertised in the Glendale Independent, the city’s website, as well as various online platforms.
On May 6, 2026, the city received nine bids from contractors as follows:
1. Kalban, Inc. $2,575,317
2. Vart Construction, Inc. $2,877,722
3. Gentry General Engineering, Inc. $2,963,849
4. CJ Concrete Construction, Inc. $3,044,613
5. Towo Enterprises, Inc. $3,820,385
6. Van Engineering, Inc. $4,131,397
7. Carter Enterprises Group, Inc. $4,287,714
8. Palp, Inc. DBA Excel Paving $4,498,874
9. Environmental Construction, Inc. $5,960,219
Upon review of the bid documents, staff finds the bid of Kalban of $2,575,317 to be the lowest responsive bid from a responsible bidder. The bid of Kalban in the amount of $2,575,317 is approximately 36% below the Engineer’s Estimate of $4,000,000.
Staff also recommends establishing a construction reserve in the amount of $515,063, or 20 percent of the bid amount, based on previous experience with similar projects and is in conformance with the nature of this project. This reserve will allow the city to address additional, incidental, unforeseen, or necessary work identified during construction, including related improvements within and adjacent to the project limits.
This approach enables the city to take advantage of economies of scale while reducing the likelihood of future mobilizations, disruptions, and added costs. It also provides flexibility to respond to unforeseen field conditions that could not be fully identified 39 of 745

during the design phase, such as uplifted sidewalks, damaged driveway aprons, broken curbs and gutters, or other site conditions encountered between completion of design and the start of construction, and to complete any resulting nearby improvements efficiently under the current contract.
Furthermore, staff has budgeted approximately ten percent of the construction amount, or $257,532, for construction management and engineering support services such as project management, project engineering, construction inspection, quality assurance and control.
District 12 ADA Curb Ramp Installation and Sidewalk Repair Program Construction Bid $ 2,575,317
20% Construction Reserve $ 515,063
10% Construction Management & Engineering Support $ 257,532 Total Construction Cost $ 3,347,912
The State of California Contractors State License Board website confirms that the license of Kalban is current, active, and in good standing. Additionally, staff contacted the references provided by Kalban and found they had satisfactorily completed their projects. Also, Kalban recently completed construction of the city’s West Glendale ADA Curb Ramp Installation and Sidewalk Repair Program Phase I Project in a satisfactory manner.
The construction of this project is anticipated to begin in September 2026 and is scheduled for completion by February 2027.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
As a result of this project, the public will gain improved accessibility and walkability throughout the project neighborhoods and improved safety for all users.
Approximately 8,250 notifications were sent to property owners and occupants along the project limits notifying them of the in-person and virtual community meeting for the project on January 15, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. The in-person and virtual community meeting was also broadcast on the city’s YouTube channel. During the meeting, the public was informed of the project details, construction schedule, future city and contractor notifications, and the impacts of the construction work in their neighborhood.
Participants also had the opportunity to phone in and provide their comments and/or ask questions regarding the project.
Approximately one month before the commencement of construction, staff will prepare a notification postcard containing essential project details including a link to the project website. The postcard will be sent by mail to the residences and businesses that will be affected by the construction. Additionally, the contractor will be responsible for distributing door hangers to the affected addresses. The door hangers will be provided one week prior to the start of any construction activity within the project area. 40 of 745

Furthermore, outreach on these projects continues to occur through social media and a dedicated project website that is hosted through the City of Glendale domain. The website familiarizes the public with the project and the project team, explains the scope of work and project locations, and provides the public with staff contact information for questions, discussion, and/or input.
FISCAL IMPACT
The construction of the District 12 ADA Curb Ramp Installation and Sidewalk Repair Program will cost $3,347,912, inclusive of a 20% construction reserve ($515,063) and 10% construction management ($257,532), which was not included in the FY 2025-26 budget. Therefore, staff is requesting an appropriation of $3,347,912 from the State Gas Tax Fund. The appropriation requests are outlined below:

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM
Report: Professional Services Agreement (PSA) for Professional Engineering Services for the Wastewater Master Plan Update and As-Needed Wastewater Consulting Services.
1. Motion authorizing the City Manager or a designee to enter into and execute a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with HDR Engineering, Inc. to provide Professional Engineering Services for the Wastewater Master Plan Update and As-Needed Wastewater Consulting Services in an amount not to exceed $621,472.
2. Resolution of appropriation of $115,472 from the Sewer Fund to provide adequate funding for the PSA
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved for June 23, 2026 calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A PSA is needed for a consultant to provide professional engineering services for the city’s Wastewater Master Plan (WWMP) Update and associated wastewater consulting services. The WWMP serves as a critical planning and operational tool for Public Works to evaluate, prioritize, maintain, and improve the city’s wastewater infrastructure system.
The updated WWMP will provide a comprehensive assessment of the structural integrity and hydraulic capacity of the wastewater collection system and establish short-term and long-term capital improvement priorities. The plan will also assist the city in maintaining compliance with State Water Resources Control Board requirements and industry standards.
Following a Request for Proposals (RFP) process, HDR Engineering, Inc. is recommended to perform the work for the WWMP Update and provide as-needed wastewater consulting services. The proposed PSA with HDR Engineering, Inc. will cost an amount not to exceed $621,472.
RECOMMENDATION

needed wastewater consulting services in an amount not to exceed $621,472, and approve the resolution of appropriation to appropriate funds in the amount of $115,472 from the Sewer Fund, for professional engineering services for the WWMP Update and as-needed wastewater consulting services.
ANALYSIS
The City of Glendale provides wastewater collection and conveyance services to over 99 percent of residents and businesses within the city limits and approximately 2,300 customers within the Crescenta Valley Water District service area.
The city’s wastewater system consists of approximately 360 miles of wastewater pipelines, more than 7,550 manholes, and over 44,700 sewer laterals. Wastewater generated within Glendale is conveyed to the City of Los Angeles Hyperion Treatment Plant and the Los Angeles-Glendale Water Reclamation Plant (LAGWRP), the latter of which is jointly owned by the City of Glendale and the City of Los Angeles.
The WWMP is an essential planning document used to assess the condition, operational performance, and hydraulic capacity of the city’s wastewater collection system. The WWMP identifies existing and future infrastructure deficiencies and establishes capital improvement priorities necessary to maintain a safe, reliable, and efficient wastewater system.
The updated WWMP will include:
Comprehensive evaluation of existing wastewater infrastructure. Hydraulic modeling and capacity assessment.
Condition assessment and system performance review.
Development of repair, rehabilitation, and replacement programs. Capital Improvement Program (CIP) recommendations.
Evaluation of operational and maintenance practices; and As-needed wastewater consulting support services, including performing a Wastewater Financial Plan and Cost of Service Analysis. The financial & COSA analysis will support long-term infrastructure planning and evaluation of system sustainability and does not itself establish or approve future rate adjustments.
The city is required to inspect, assess, maintain, and operate its wastewater infrastructure in compliance with State Water Resources Control Board regulations, Waste Discharge Requirements, and industry best practices.
To hire the most qualified consultant, Public Works Engineering issued an RFP to several professional engineering consulting firms experienced in wastewater infrastructure planning and utility management services. The city received two proposals from consulting firms for the WWMP Update under RFP #2026-002. 48 of 745
5c3
26-90200
6 8
9 2
An evaluation team of staff from PWD reviewed the proposals. The proposals were all ranked based on the following criteria:
Staff qualifications and technical expertise.
Demonstrated understanding of project objectives and scope. Quality and responsiveness of proposal.
Project schedule and deliverables; and
Cost effectiveness.
Based on the combination of written submittals and the results of the interviews, the HDR Engineering, Inc. consultant team was determined to be the top-ranked firm for the WWMP update.
HDR Engineering, Inc. demonstrated extensive experience with wastewater master planning, hydraulic modeling, utility management, and regulatory compliance projects for municipalities throughout Southern California. The firm also demonstrated a clear understanding of the city’s wastewater system needs and long-term infrastructure planning goals, and they successfully completed the city’s latest WWMP update several years ago.
Following negotiations, staff refined the scope and fee structure with HDR Engineering, Inc., resulting in a reduced proposed cost from $573,165 to $564,975 while incorporating additional task efficiencies and refined deliverables. The total authorization of $621,472 includes a 10 percent contingency to address unforeseen conditions, additional “as-needed” technical analysis identified earlier, or regulatory coordination that may arise during development of the master plan. The WWMP Update is anticipated to be completed within approximately 18 months.

Not applicable to this project
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed PSA for the WWMP Update and as-needed wastewater consulting services will cost $621,472, including a 10% contingency of $56,497. Only $506,000 was approved as a part of the FY 2025-26 budget. Therefore, staff is requesting for an appropriation of $115,472 from the Sewer Fund. The appropriation request is outlined below:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff requests Council authorization to enter into a five-year Professional Services Agreement with Self Insured Services Company, LLC dba Benefit Coordinators Corporation (BCC) to continue operation of the BenXcel benefits administration platform and related services for the City’s medical benefits. BCC/BenXcel was implemented on October 1, 2024, following a competitive broker procurement process and has since demonstrated reliable performance in administering employee benefits, carrier integrations, COBRA services, and consolidated billing functions. Entering into a long- term agreement will provide operational stability, avoid costly system replacement and implementation efforts, prevent disruption to employee benefit administration, and secure favorable rate protections for the City. The annual not-to-exceed cost for these services is $150,000 for Years 1-4 and $155,000 for Year 5 and any optional extensions .

ANALYSIS
In December 2023, the City conducted a competitive procurement for Insurance Broker of Record services and awarded a contract to Alliant Insurance Services, Inc. As part of the solicitation, proposers were required to identify and negotiate services and fees with a qualified Third-Party Administrator (TPA) to provide comprehensive benefits administration services, including eligibility management, data integration, consolidated billing and remittance, COBRA administration, Medicare eligibility tracking, participant support, and related functions.
Alliant's proposal identified Benefit Coordinators Corporation (BCC) as its TPA partner for these services. Following the award, the City worked with Alliant and BCC to implement the BenXcel benefits administration platform. Implementation began in 2024 and involved extensive system configuration, data mapping, and integration with the City's MUNIS system and benefit carriers, including Anthem, Kaiser, Guardian, VSP, and Voya. The platform was successfully implemented and went live on October 1, 2024, under an initial one-year Professional Services Agreement, followed by a second one-year agreement for FY 2025-26.
During this two-year operational period, the City evaluated the platform's performance in a live production environment and confirmed that it met City standards for data integrity, processing accuracy, carrier connectivity, and user experience. BCC/BenXcel has consistently demonstrated reliable performance in administering eligibility transactions, consolidated billing, COBRA services, and flexible spending account administration.
Based on the successful implementation and demonstrated operational stability of the platform, staff recommends entering into a multi-year Professional Services Agreement with BCC.
The proposed agreement establishes a long-term framework for continued benefits administration services, providing operational continuity, vendor stability, and predictable costs. Under the negotiated terms, BCC will provide services for an initial five-year term beginning October 1, 2026, with two optional one-year extensions, for a total potential contract term of seven years. In addition, the City negotiated favorable pricing protections that will help control future administrative costs:
• Four-Year Rate Guarantee: BCC will maintain its current administrative rates for the first four years of the agreement (October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2030), eliminating annual rate increases during that period.
• Limited Year Five Adjustment and Fee Cap: Beginning October 1, 2030 (Year 5), the agreement permits a modest rate adjustment and increase to the annual fee cap of $155,000. This maximum cap would also apply during any optional extension periods exercised by the City.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The primary stakeholders are City of Glendale employees who rely on the BenXcel platform for medical benefit management. Outreach regarding benefits enrollment is 61 of 745

conducted through internal City portals, department-wide emails, and annual benefits orientations.
FISCAL IMPACT
The annual not-to-exceed amount of $150,000 was included in the HR Department’s Proposed FY 2026-27 budget. Because the rate guarantee keeps costs flat at the current spending level for the first four years, the increased fee cap of $155,000 is only anticipated to begin in Year 5 to absorb minimal programmatic increases.

ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. Council may direct staff to conduct a competitive solicitation for benefits administration services. This approach would require a new procurement process and subsequent system implementation, including data conversion, carrier integrations, employee training, and transition activities, which could increase administrative costs and create potential disruptions to benefits administration services.
2.Council may approve a shorter-term agreement. While this option would provide greater flexibility to revisit the service arrangement sooner, it may limit the City's ability to secure long-term pricing protections and operational stability.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM
Report: Professional Services Agreement with Glendale Adventist Medical Center dba Adventist Health Glendale to provide occupational medical services for the City of Glendale
1. Motion Authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Glendale Adventist Medical Center dba Adventist Health Glendale to provide occupational medical services for the City of Glendale for a five (5) year term beginning November 1, 2026, with two (2) one-year options to extend for a total of seven (7) years, with an annual not-to-exceed amount of $200,000 (subject to annual appropriation).
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved for June 23, 2026 calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Glendale requires specialized occupational medical services to ensure that its workforce, particularly public safety and field personnel, is medically fit for duty and compliant with state and federal regulations. The City has utilized Glendale Adventist Occupational Medicine Center (GAOMC) for these services since 2009. This report recommends renewing the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with GAOMC for a five-year term with two one-year options to extend (2026–2033) to maintain service continuity and high-quality medical oversight for City employees.
The proposed agreement includes pre-placement physical examinations, regulatory medical examinations, drug and alcohol testing, fitness-for-duty evaluations, return-to- work assessments, and other occupational medical services necessary to support employee health, safety, and regulatory compliance. The annual not-to-exceed amount for these services is $200,000.

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to execute a PSA with GAOMC dba Adventist Health Glendale to provide occupational medical services including, but not limited to, pre- placement physical examinations, regulatory examinations mandated by Cal-OSHA, return-to-work evaluations, and fitness for duty examinations for the City employees for a five year term beginning November 1, 2026, with two one-year options to extend, and with an annual not-to-exceed amount of $200,000 (subject to annual appropriation).
ANALYSIS
In 2009, the City transitioned from an in-house employee health model to a contracted occupational medicine model following a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process. Glendale Adventist Occupational Medicine Center (GAOMC) was selected based on its specialized expertise in occupational health services and its ability to meet the City's public-sector workforce needs. In 2021, City Council approved a subsequent agreement extending these services. Throughout the current contract term, GAOMC has consistently provided reliable medical evaluations and occupational health services that support employee safety, workforce readiness, and regulatory compliance. The current agreement expires on October 31, 2026. Staff recommend a new five-year agreement with two one-year options to extend, which could continue services through October 31, 2033.
The scope of the proposed agreement ensures employees are medically fit for employment and maintains compliance with state and federal mandates. The services include, but are not limited to:
Pre-placement physicals (sworn and non-sworn) consistent with P.O.S.T. and City standards.
Mandatory regulatory and periodic examinations to meet DOT and Cal/OSHA and ongoing department compliance requirements.
DOT-qualified drug & alcohol testing, chain of custody, and Medical Review Officer (MRO) coordination.
Pre-employment and promotional, random, and reasonable-suspicion testing. Fitness-for-duty and return-to-work evaluations with written clinical recommendations.
Workers’ compensation medical evaluations and treatment coordination. Urgent occupational medical evaluation support as needed. Timely, secure transmission of medical reports and monthly/quarterly utilization and compliance reports.
Occupational medicine is a highly specialized field requiring expertise in employment- related medical evaluations, regulatory compliance, and safety-sensitive positions. 66 of 745

26-89974

GAOMC is uniquely qualified to serve the City's workforce, including Police, Fire, and other employees whose duties require specialized medical screening and ongoing fitness-for-duty assessments. Continuing this long-standing partnership will preserve institutional knowledge, maintain service continuity, and ensure uninterrupted compliance with applicable health and safety regulations.
GAOMC's staff possesses extensive knowledge of state regulatory requirements, including Peace Officer Standards and Training (P.O.S.T.) medical standards, allowing examinations to be completed efficiently and in accordance with academy and certification timelines. Additionally, the clinic's location at 600 S. Glendale Avenue provides convenient access for employees, reducing travel time and minimizing operational disruption when medical evaluations or treatment are required.
Staff does not anticipate any significant changes to GAOMC's fee schedule during the contract term. Based on preliminary discussions, service rates are expected to remain substantially consistent with current pricing, allowing the annual not-to-exceed amount to remain at $200,000 throughout the initial term and any option years. This stability provides cost predictability and reflects the value of the City's long-standing partnership with GAOMC.

While this approach could provide an opportunity to evaluate alternative service providers, it may also result in a transition period requiring the transfer of institutional knowledge and implementation of new service delivery processes.
2. The City Council may approve a shorter-term agreement. While this option would reduce the contract term commitment, it would provide less long-term cost predictability and require staff to return to Council sooner for future contract authorization.

CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM
Report: Escheatment for Unclaimed Checks and Deposits
1. Motion to escheat unclaimed checks and deposits held by various City funds pursuant to Government Code Sections 50050-50057.
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved for June 23, 2026 calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On an annual basis, the Finance Departments presents the City Council a list of unclaimed property that meet the requirements mandated by Government Code Sections 50050-50057 to escheat funds. As required by the Government Code, the City has made multiple efforts to return these outstanding funds to their rightful owners by attempting to contact them through a variety of different means. Through these attempts, at the time of preparing this report on May 15, 2026, we have resolved forty- six outstanding checks totaling $65,796.67. We have also received forty-seven claim forms for outstanding deposits totaling $441,344.60, which were under review at the time this report was being prepared. After multiple outreach efforts, the remaining unclaimed property as of May 15, 2026, is $73,748.59 for outstanding checks and $645,730.00 for outstanding deposits. Claims continue to be accepted until today (June 23, 2026), and the actual remaining unclaimed property balance may be less due to additional claims received.

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Director of Finance to escheat unclaimed checks and deposits held by various funds pursuant to Government Code Sections 50050-50057 and transfer the escheated funds into the general fund.
ANALYSIS
California Government Code Sections 50050-50057 provide the legal framework for local agencies to handle unclaimed funds, such as uncashed checks or unclaimed deposits. These laws allow local governments to take ownership of and transfer unclaimed money to their general fund after three years for funds over fifteen dollars ($15), following a defined public notification process. The notification process requires the list of unclaimed checks and deposits to be published as public notice once a week for two successive weeks in a local newspaper. Then any remaining unclaimed funds become the property of the City on a designated date not less than forty-five days nor more than sixty days after the first publication of the notice. Any individual check under fifteen dollars ($15) that remain unclaimed for one year can be transferred to the general fund without public notice.
Outstanding Checks:
In February 2026, Finance Department staff obtained a list of all outstanding checks from the City Treasurer’s office which included checks issued in 2022 and earlier. Staff, from multiple departments, and AdminSure, the City’s workers’ compensation third-party administrator, worked collectively to contact each payee to notify them of their unclaimed funds by phone, e-mail, and U.S. mail. Multiple attempts were made to contact each individual, after which the City per state requirements published the list of unclaimed funds in the local newspaper on May 7 and May 14, 2026. The City took additional measures, beyond the general requirements, by issuing a press release, posting notifications on the City’s website and the City’s different social media platforms.
In addition, with the help of Information Technology Department, the City launched a new online portal allowing claimants to search and submit a claim for their funds directly through the City’s online portal.
The outstanding checks can be reissued by Accounts Payable once a replacement check affidavit is submitted to the City Treasurer’s Office. Once the affidavit is reviewed and approved, the City Treasurer’s Office will then process a stop payment with the bank for the original check then forward the completed packet to Accounts Payable for a check to be reissued.
As of May 15, 2026, the date this report was prepared, staff were able to resolve forty- six outstanding checks totaling $65,796.67 with the remaining unclaimed checks being 179 checks, totaling $73,748.59.
In accordance with federal regulation Title 45, Subtitle B, Chapter II, Part 201, Subpart B, Section 201.67, if a check remains uncashed beyond a period of 180 days from the date it was issued, i.e., the date of the check, it will no longer be regarded as an amount expended because no funds have actually been disbursed. If the State (or local) agency 71 of 745
5f3
26-90050
6 8
2 2
has claimed and received Federal Financial Participation (FFP) for the amount of the uncashed check, it must refund the amount of FFP received. As of the date of this report being prepared, $34,685 of the uncashed checks falls within this federal regulation.
Outstanding Deposits:
Also in March 2026, Finance Department staff worked with Public Works and Community Development staff for the list of outstanding deposits. Public Works and Community Development staff contacted each payee through variety of methods including phone, e-mail, and U.S. Mail. Currently, there are forty unclaimed deposits in the amount of $25,800.00, which are associated with the Excavation Permits administered by Public Works Department. In addition to the forty unclaimed deposits, there are ninety-three unclaimed deposits in the amount of $619,930.00, which are associated with the Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris Bond administered by Community Development Department.
To obtain excavation permit refund, applicants must submit an application. Public Works staff reviews the inspection document to verify the eligibility. Once all requirements are met, Public Works staff request the issuance of the refund through Accounts Payable.
To obtain a C&D Debris Bond refund, applicants must divert 65% of the project’s estimated debris to a certified mixed debris recycling facility and submit Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan Compliance Report within six months of certificate of occupancy. Community Development staff request the issuance of the refund through Accounts Payable once all the requirements are met.
Construction permits associated with the C&D Debris Bond deposits often remain active for more than three years. By the end of a five-year period from issuance, the permits are either expired, or construction projects are completed. Thus, C&D Debris Bond deposits older than five years are subject to the escheatment.
On July 30, 2019, Council approved the amendment of Chapter 8 of the Glendale Municipal Code, related to Construction and Demolition Debris, transferring enforcement, responsibility, and administration of the Ordinance from Public Works Department, Integrated Waste Management, to the Community Development Department, Building and Safety Division. The amendment applies to the C&D Debris Bond deposits processed subsequent to the adoption date. Six out of ninety-three outstanding C&D Debris Bond deposits in the amount of $104,900.00, were processed prior to the amendment adoption date, and thus, shall be retained by the City to promote waste diversion efforts in the community. (Ord. 5895 §1, 2017). The remaining eighty-seven outstanding C&D Debris Bond deposits in the amount of $515,030.00, shall be retained by the City in the General Fund.
After extensive outreach over the past few months, staff received forty-seven claim forms for unclaimed deposits totaling $441,344.60 as of May 15, 2026, the date this report was prepared. These forty-seven claims were being reviewed by CDD staff to verify refund 72 of 745

26-90050

2 2
eligibility, and refunds would be issued once the verification process is complete. The remaining one-hundred and thirty-three unclaimed deposits total $645,730.00.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The City of Glendale has taken measures beyond the state minimum notification requirements utilizing variety of different outreach methods. First, City staff and AdminSure attempted to contact each payee directly by phone, e-mail, and U.S. mail.
Next, detailed notices were published in the Glendale Independent on May 7 and May 14, 2026. A press release was also published providing instructions on how to claim these funds by directing any party of interest to the City’s website and the City’s new unclaimed funds portal. Similar notices have also been posted on the City’s website and various social media platforms. Staff will continue to work with the public and accept any new claims until the timeframe per Government Code Section 50050-50057 is met and per City Council approval to escheat any remaining unclaimed funds.
FISCAL IMPACT
If approved by the Council, the escheated funds up to $719,478.59 will be transferred to the General Fund ($579,893.59), the Housing Assistance Fund ($34,685.00), and the Refuse Fund ($104,900.00). This amount is as of May 15, 2026, the date this report was prepared. The final escheated amount may be lowered based on the number of checks and deposits claimed between May 15, 2026, and the date of the City Council meeting this report is presented.

CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM
Report: Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Service Agreement Between the City of Glendale and IQ Personnel, Inc.
1. Motion to amend the Professional Service Agreement between the City of Glendale and IQ Personnel, Inc. (8003213) for additional three-year term until June 30, 2029, thus increasing the contract amount by $189,000 to the new total not-to- exceed amount of $239,000
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Item
Approved for June 23, 2026 calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
These personnel services are essential to the continued operation of the Glendale Fire Department’s Environmental Management Center Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Program. Specifically, the agreement provides for up to three qualified Environmental Technicians who will assist with the safe handling, sorting, and processing of hazardous waste materials, in addition to performing general labor duties at the City’s HHW collection facility. These roles are critical to ensuring compliance with environmental regulations, maintaining public safety, and supporting efficient facility operations.
In November 2025, the Department executed a Professional Services Agreement with IQ Personnel to provide temporary staffing for these functions. The current PSA is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2026. Approval of this amendment will ensure continuity of service and adequate staffing levels to meet program demands and regulatory requirements. 93 of 745

RECOMMENDATION
To amend the Professional Service Agreement between the City of Glendale and IQ Personnel, Inc. to extend the term for an additional three years, through June 30, 2029, and increase the contract amount by $189,000 to the new total not-to-exceed amount of $239,000.
ANALYSIS
In March 1991, the Glendale Fire Department established the Environmental Management Center (EMC) to serve residents of Glendale as a centralized, one-stop facility for environmentally responsible waste management. The EMC provides proper disposal and recycling services for household hazardous waste and used oil, along with public education on reducing, reusing, and recycling household products.
The Glendale Fire Department’s Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Program was among the first of its kind in the nation and the first permanent indoor operation in Southern California. Since its inception, the program has collected more than 3,000 tons of waste. The facility operates weekly and serves residents of Glendale, Montrose, and La Cañada, and is authorized to accept certain hazardous materials from eligible small businesses at a subsidized cost.
Currently, the HHW Program is operated by one Fire Environmental Safety Specialist. To maintain safe and efficient operations, additional staffing support is required. Staff therefore recommend retaining IQ Personnel to provide Environmental Technicians for the EMC. This agreement will ensure the availability of qualified Environmental Technicians to support the safe handling and management of hazardous waste. It will also enable the HHW facility to operate on a weekly basis, providing service to residents of Glendale, Montrose, and La Cañada, as well as to eligible small businesses with certain hazardous waste materials.
Key responsibilities include:
Handling hazardous and universal waste from households and very small quantity generators
Responding to spills, including containment, cleanup, and initiating emergency protocols
Assisting with the preparation and shipment of hazardous waste Interacting with the public and providing information during events Performing daily general labor tasks as directed by Glendale Fire Department staff Required skills and qualifications:
Proficiency in reading, writing, and following instructions in English Knowledge of proper handling, segregation, packaging, and transportation of hazardous waste
Familiarity with personal protective equipment (PPE), including respirators, gloves, aprons, goggles, and gowns
Ability to operate tools such as wrenches, mallets, drum dollies, and pallet jacks 94 of 745

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Los Angeles County Aging and Disabilities Department (AD) is providing grant funds in the amount of $66,129 in baseline funding for FY 2026-27 to provide senior case management services under the Community Services & Parks (CSP) Department.
Los Angeles County AD baseline grant funding will allow the Supportive Services Program (SSP) to provide case management services to seniors 60 years of age and older in the SSP program. SSP provides annual assistance for up to 80 unduplicated seniors, including: initial intake, in-home assessment, care plan, information and referral services, purchase of goods/services, annual reassessments, and well-being checkups.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council accept and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment 9 to the SSP232404 subaward period July 2026 – June 2027 to accept and implement $66,129 in baseline funding from Los Angeles County AD for the FY 2026-2027 Supportive Services Program.
ANALYSIS
CSP has been providing the Supportive Services Program (SSP), better known as senior case management, since 1992. SSP provides comprehensive, long-term services to seniors 60 years of age and older, and utilizes a case manager’s professional skills and competence to serve senior clients and link them to a full range of appropriate services.
The primary goal is to assist the elderly in maintaining their independence and living in 106 of 745

their own homes. The SSP is operated through the Senior Services Unit, which also provides long-term services that include the Elderly Nutrition Program, Emergency Meals, and Telephone Reassurance Program.
CSP was originally awarded an SSP subaward from Los Angeles County AD through a noncompetitive process whereby the City enters into a subaward agreement for a one- year term, commencing July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024, with three additional options to renew annually for an anticipated total subaward term of four years. Baseline funding for the program requires a 12% cash match. Amendment Nine is for the fourth year of the four-year subaward term and commences July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027.
SSP baseline funds are allocated from the Older Americans Act to provide funding for the daily operations of the program, including case manager home visits, case planning, monitoring, contract compliance, invoicing, purchase of goods/service, data tracking, and direct assistance to seniors for case management services. Examples of direct assistance include payment of a utility bill, purchase of small appliances, home cleaning, clothing, respite, medical equipment/supplies, etc.
SSP assists up to 80 unduplicated seniors sixty years of age and older each fiscal year, with the following senior case management services: initial intake screening, in-home assessment, service authorization, care plan, and connecting to other services. Service areas for SSP include Glendale, La Crescenta, Montrose, and Verdugo City.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The SSP is part of the Senior Services Unit, which operates out of the Adult Recreation Center. Program services are advertised quarterly in the CSP Leisure Guide, CSP Newsletter, on the Department website and social media; reports are provided on the progress of the program to the City of Glendale’s Senior Services Committee; and outreach is conducted with other community agencies to ensure the public is aware of the available services.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City was awarded $66,129 in SSP baseline grant awards from Los Angeles County AD, which was included as part of the FY 2026-2027 budget process.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council accept $493,377 in Elderly Nutrition Program (ENP) funding from Los Angeles County Aging and Disabilities (AD) for FY 2026-2027; and authorize the City Manager or a designee to execute Amendment No. 3 to Subaward ENP252604, period July 2026 – June 2027, to accept and implement the funding.
ANALYSIS
CSP has been providing meal service to older adults 60 years and older in the Greater Glendale Area since 1979 with grant funding administered from Los Angeles County AD through the federal Older Americans Act (OAA). The ENP provides an important opportunity for social contact and is the only meal many seniors receive in a day.
The ENP program is operated through the Senior Services Section which provides comprehensive, long-term services that include Congregate Meal (C1), Home Delivered Meals (C2), Emergency Meals (EM), Telephone Reassurance (TR) and Supportive Services (SSP). The goal of these services is to assist the seniors in our community to maintain their independence and live in their own homes.
The City’s ENP C1 program operates two congregate meal sites serving lunch 7 days per week at the Adult Recreation Center and five days per week at Sparr Heights Community Center. An average of 4,000 meals per month are served in the program to over 500 unduplicated seniors annually.
The ENP C2 program is for homebound older adults requiring food delivery assistance for physical and/or medical reasons and is substantiated by a doctor’s order before beginning program services. Program services include a weekly delivery of seven frozen meals that include bread, fruit, milk, and dessert. The Emergency Meals Program is part of the Home Delivered Meals and provides three days’ worth of shelf stable meals to clients enrolled in the program per fiscal year. Telephone Reassurance Program is also a part of the Home Delivered Meals program which ensures seniors who are shut-in receive a weekly well-being call.
The City contracts with TRIO Community Meals, LLC (TRIO) to provide congregate and home delivered meals catering services for the ENP program. The contract period is from December 1, 2022 through November 30, 2026.
TRIO has informed the City it would like to exercise the contract terms to extend the contract an additional 2 years to November 30, 2028. During this contractual period the meal rate will increase by 6% per meal on December 1, 2026. Staff will return to Council to amend TRIO contract through November 30, 2028.
The cost per meal rate during this period is as follows:
7/1/26 to 11/30/26 12/1/26 to 6/30/27
Congregate Meals $4.56 per meal $4.83 per meal
Home Delivered Meals $4.75 per meal $5.04 per meal

The City has a purchase order with Revolution Foods to provide Emergency Meals to Home Delivered Meals program clients for 3 (three) days’ worth of shelf stable meals at a unit rate of $6.85 per meal.
CSP was awarded an ENP grant award from Los Angeles County AD for OAA baseline funding through a noncompetitive process where the City entered into a subaward agreement for a one-year term, commencing July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, with three additional options to renew annually for an anticipated total subaward term of four years. OAA baseline funding for the program requires a 12% cash match. Amendment No. 3 is for year two of a four-year subaward term.
On May 28, 2026, Los Angeles County AD informed the City of various ENP grant funding totaling $493,377 be used for C1, C2, and Telephone Reassurance Programs in FY 2026- 2027 from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. In addition to OAA baseline funding in FY 2026-2027, Net County Cost (NCC) funding, Modernizing Older Californian Act (MOCA) state funding, and Nutrition Services Incentive Program (NSIP) funding is also included in the FY 2026-2027 funding.
OAA baseline funding, NCC, and NSIP is a reimbursable grant with a 12% cash match while MOCA funding does not require a cash match.
The LA County AD reimbursement rate for ENP funding for meal service delivery for FY 2026-2027 is as follows:
Service Type Funding Source Reimbursement Rate
Congregate Meals OAA/NCC/MOCA $8.45 per meal
Home Delivered Meals OAA/NCC/MOCA $9.37 per meal
Telephone Reassurance Calls OAA Baseline $1.00 per call Congregate Meals NSIP C1 $1.00 per meal
Home Delivered Meals NSIP C2 $1.00 per meal
OAA baseline funding, NCC, MOCA, and NSIP funding will enable the City to provide 43,887 congregate meals, 12,938 home delivered meals, provide 80 homebound seniors with a 3 day’s supply of emergency meals, and make 1,300 telephone reassurance calls to homebound seniors through June 30, 2027.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM
Report: City Council Regular Meeting Schedule for the 2026-27 Fiscal Year
1. Motion Establishing City Council Regular Meeting Schedule for the 2026-27 Fiscal Year and Cancelling Specified City Council Meetings
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved for June 23, 2026 calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Every year prior to the commencement of the new fiscal year, the Council establishes a regular meeting schedule for the upcoming fiscal year. After consulting with the Mayor, the City Manager proposes the regular meeting schedule for the 2025-26 fiscal year as identified in this report.
116 of 745
25j
5 1
8 1
RECOMMENDATION
That the Council adopt the Council regular meeting schedule for the 2026-27 fiscal year, including cancelling specified meetings.
ANALYSIS
The City Council’s regular meetings are held on Tuesday evenings at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers. The Council also holds special meetings from time-to-time as well as joint meetings with other City agencies, as necessary. On an annual basis, the Council adopts a regular meeting schedule per fiscal year by cancelling specified regular meetings.
The regular meeting calendar is generally established to average three regular meetings per month. This balances the need for a calendar sufficient to handle the Council’s robust regular business while providing breaks in the calendar to allow sufficient staff time to prepare reports and undertake other business of the City. It also allows for breaks in the schedule for holidays and winter break. If additional meetings become necessary, the Council can add meetings to the calendar or call special meetings. It should be noted that the City Manager and staff strive to calendar Council items in a manner so that agendas are not overly light, nor overburdened in a manner that makes for excessively heavy agendas. In addition, under the Council’s rules and procedures, Council business must end by 11 p.m. unless extended by affirmative vote of three councilmembers.
Taking these factors into account, and after consultation with the Mayor, the City Manager proposes regular meetings for the 2026-27 fiscal year to be held every Tuesday at 6 p.m. except on the following dates, which would be cancelled:
2026

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM
Report: Adoption of an urgency ordinance, pursuant to Senate Bill 79 (SB 79, also known as “The Abundant and Affordable Homes Near Transit Act”), temporarily exempting properties located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ) and/or containing a locally designated historic resource as of January 1, 2025, from the provisions of SB 79.
1. Urgency Ordinance to Temporarily Delay Effectuation of SB 79 for Certain Sites Located Within the VHFHSZ and/or Containing a Locally Designated Historic Resource.
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Ordinance
Approved for June 23, 2026 calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On March 3, 2026, the City Council received a status report regarding SB 79, and potential implementation strategies available to local jurisdictions. Following staff's presentation and public testimony, the City Council directed staff to pursue the delayed effectuation option authorized by SB 79 and return with an ordinance identifying eligible exempt sites.
On June 9, 2026, the City Council reviewed staff's analysis of SB 79, including updated mapping information received from the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) on the locations and tier level of BRT stops in the City of Glendale. Following discussion, the City Council introduced an urgency ordinance to implement the delayed effectuation provisions of SB 79 for the identified eligible exempt properties within Glendale.
The urgency ordinance is now before the City Council for adoption. 120 of 745
2 6
6 6
1 RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt the proposed urgency ordinance, pursuant to SB 79, temporarily exempting certain properties from SB 79 prior to its July 1 effective date.
ANALYSIS
As noted in the staff report and presentation to City Council on June 9, 2026, SB 79 becomes effective on July 1, 2026, and establishes minimum residential development standards for qualifying properties located within one-half mile of designated Transit- Oriented Development (TOD) stops.
The June 9 staff report provided a detailed overview of SB 79, its applicability within Glendale, the City's coordination with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), and neighboring jurisdictions. The report also described the delayed effectuation provisions authorized by SB 79 and identified sites within Glendale that may be temporarily exempted from the legislation.
Following review of that information, the City Council introduced an urgency ordinance, exercising the delayed effectuation authority provided under SB 79 and temporarily exempting properties located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ) and/or containing a locally designated historic resource as of January 1, 2025.
The ordinance is now before the City Council for adoption. No changes have been made to the ordinance since its introduction.
If adopted, the urgency ordinance will take effect immediately and the identified exempt properties will be temporarily excluded from SB 79 applicability pursuant to the delayed effectuation provisions established in State law. Under SB 79, these exemptions would remain in effect until one year after the City adopts its 7th Cycle Housing Element, which is currently anticipated to occur approximately in 2030, unless the City adopts a qualifying TOD Alternative Plan at an earlier date. Adoption of the delayed effectuation ordinance will preserve the City's ability to continue evaluating long-term implementation options, including potential TOD Alternative Plans and additional delayed effectuation provisions authorized under SB 79.
Staff will continue to monitor guidance from HCD, SCAG's final TOD mapping, and implementation efforts occurring throughout Los Angeles County. Staff will also follow up on the requests and direction provided by the City Council on June 9, 2026, including further evaluation of sites that may qualify for delayed effectuation, potential zoning amendments (upzoning) that could support TOD stop radius exemptions, and the feasibility of local rent stabilization measures that may create additional statutory exemptions under SB 79. Should additional analysis support future exemptions or other actions authorized by SB 79, staff will return to the City Council with recommendations at a later date.

1 NEXT STEPS
As discussed in the June 9 staff report, SB 79 requires that any delayed effectuation ordinance be submitted to the HCD prior to local adoption. Staff submitted the proposed ordinance and supporting documentation to HCD on May 27, 2026, consistent with State law.
If the ordinance is adopted, staff will provide a copy of the adopted ordinance to HCD within the timeframe required by SB 79. HCD will then determine whether the ordinance is in substantial compliance with the provisions of SB 79. Staff will continue to coordinate with HCD and return to the City Council if any additional action is necessary.

ORDINANCE NO. ___________
AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA TO DELAY EFFECTUATION OF SENATE BILL 79 (THE ABUNDANT AND
AFFORDABLE HOMES NEAR TRANSIT ACT) FOR CERTAIN SITES LOCATED
WITHIN THE VERY HIGH FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONE AND/OR CONTAINING A
LOCALLY DESIGNATED HISTORIC RESOURCE
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 79 (SB 79), The Abundant and Affordable Homes Near Transit Act of 2025, codified in Government Code Chapter 4.1.5 (commencing with Gov’t. Code Section 65912.155) and operative July 1, 2026, supersedes local zoning and General Plan land use regulations by establishing statewide minimum residential density and development standards for properties located within one-half mile of qualifying transit oriented development (TOD) stops to increase the supply of affordable and market rate housing; and
WHEREAS, SB 79 establishes substantial increases in allowable residential density and building height within large portions of the City, including areas not previously planned or evaluated for such development intensity; and WHEREAS, SB 79 permits the City to adopt an ordinance in accordance with Gov’t. Code Section 65912.160 to delay effectuation of SB 79 on certain sites within TOD zones, subject to review and approval by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), prior to SB 79’s effective date of July 1, 2026; and
WHEREAS, SB 79 permits exclusion of sites located in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ), as determined by the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection pursuant to Gov’t Code Section 51178, or within the state responsibility area, as defined in Section 4102 of the Public Resources Code, pursuant to Gov’t. Code Section 65912.161(b)(1)(D); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Gov’t. Code Section 65312.161(b)(1)(F), SB 79 also permits exclusion of sites that were designated on a local historic register as of January 1, 2025; and
WHEREAS, the Housing Element of the General Plan Goal 2 supports the preservation of historic resources and encourages new residential development that respects neighborhood scale, historic continuity, and community character; and WHEREAS, the Safety Element of the General Plan Policy 4-2 encourages the City to limit new residential development within VHFHSZ, where feasible, in order to reduce wildfire risk and protect public safety; and WHEREAS, the City's proposed updated General Plan Land Use Element includes goals and policies designed to encourage high-density residential and mixed- use development along major transportation corridors and adjacent to public 124 of 745
transportation facilities where infrastructure and multimodal transportation options are more easily accessible; and
WHEREAS, urgency action is needed to afford temporary local exclusion of properties locally designated as historic resources as of January 1, 2025, and to exclude properties located within VHFHSZ, in order to avoid subjecting these properties to SB 79’s increased density and height regulations, which become effective on July 1, 2026; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that adopting this ordinance on an urgency basis will benefit the City by delaying SB 79’s application to the above- mentioned sites, and will provide more time for the City to complete research to bring forward a potential Transit-Oriented Development Alternative Plan, as permitted by Gov’t. Code Section 65912.161, that allows transfer of SB 79 density to TOD areas.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Glendale finds that the above recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated by reference.
SECTION 2. The following sites are excluded from Gov’t Code Section 65912.157 until one year following adoption of the seventh revision of the housing element:
1) Sites within a VHFSZ (Gov’t Code Section 65912.161(b)(1)(D)), as determined by the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection pursuant to Gov’t. Code Section 51178, or within the state responsibility area, as defined in Section 4102 of the Public Resources Code; and
2) Sites containing a historic resource designated on the City’s local register as of January 1, 2025 (Gov’t. Code Section 65912.161(b)(1)(F)).
SECTION 3. By enacting this ordinance, the City Council directs the Director of Community Development, or designee, to: 1) indicate on its public facing zoning map which sites or transit oriented development zones are subject to SB 79 and which are temporarily exempt or excluded, including sites that qualify for such status pursuant to Gov’t. Code Sections 65912.160(e)(1)-(2), 65912.161(b)(1)(A)-(F), and 65912.161(b)(2), and ensure consistency with the most current transit-oriented development zones map published by Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG); and 2) transmit a final copy of this ordinance to HCD no later than 60 days following adoption.
SECTION 4. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the City Council hereby finds that this Ordinance is exempt from further review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Gov’t. Code §65912.160(c)(2), which explicitly states that an ordinance adopted to implement the provisions of SB 79 shall not be considered a project under Division 13 (commencing with §21000) of the Public Resources Code.
125 of 745
SECTION 5. Urgency Clause. The City Council finds and declares that the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety requires that this ordinance be enacted as an urgency measure pursuant to Gov’t. Code Section 36937(b), as well as pursuant to the Glendale City Charter, Article VI, Sections 6 and 7, which provide that the City Council may, upon a four-fifths vote, adopt an urgency ordinance that will become effective immediately upon adoption, upon the declaration by the City Council that the ordinance is necessary as an emergency measure for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health or safety. This Ordinance is necessary as an emergency measure for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety, and welfare because SB 79 becomes operative on July 1, 2026 and, absent immediate action, would apply to properties containing locally designated historic resources as of January 1, 2025 and properties located within VHFHSZ, as identified by the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, without a temporary local exclusion in place. If this Ordinance is not adopted immediately, these sensitive properties would be subject to SB 79’s increased height and density standards on July 1, 2026. Accordingly, this Ordinance is declared to be an urgency measure necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety, and welfare, and shall take effect immediately upon adoption.
SECTION 6. Severability. This Ordinance’s provisions are severable. If any portion of this Ordinance or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision does not affect the validity of the Ordinance’s remaining portions and the Ordinance’s application to other persons and circumstances. The City Council declares that it would have passed the remainder of this Ordinance without the invalid or unconstitutional provision.
SECTION 7. Effective Date. Pursuant to the Glendale City Charter and Government Code section 36937(b), this ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by four-fifths vote of the City Council and expires one year following adoption of the seventh revision of the housing element, pursuant to Government Code Section 65912.161(b)(1).
SECTION 8. Certification. The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this Ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City’s book of original ordinances; make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting; and within fifteen (15) days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law. 126 of 745

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM
Report: Introduction (June 9) and Proposed Adoption (June 23) of an Urgency Ordinance to Delay Effectuation of the Senate Bill (SB) 79 (“The Abundant and Affordable Homes Near Transit Act”) for Certain Sites Located in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones and/or Containing a Locally Designated Historic Resource.
1. Urgency Ordinance to Delay Effectuation of Senate Bill 79 (“The Abundant and Affordable Homes Near Transit Act”) for Certain Sites Located Within the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone and/or Containing a Locally Designated Historic Resource, for Introduction.
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for June 9, 2026 calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On March 3, 2026, City Council received a status report on SB 79 and proposed options for its implementation. Following staff’s detailed presentation and public testimony, City Council directed staff to seek further clarifications of the law and to prepare a “delayed effectuation ordinance” for sites that could be exempted from SB 79 implementation prior to its July 1, 2026 effective date.
This report summarizes new insights as to how SB 79 applies in Glendale and presents an urgency ordinance to temporarily exclude sites within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone and/or those containing a locally designated historic resource as of January 1, 2025.
This report also includes additional information as to other sites that may qualify for delayed effectuation and additional options for the City Council to consider.

7 RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council review, introduce and subsequently adopt the proposed urgency ordinance to exempt certain properties from SB 79 before it takes effect on July 1, 2026.
ANALYSIS
SB 79, the Abundant and Affordable Homes Near Transit Act, goes into effect on July 1, 2026 (see full text of the bill attached as Exhibit 1). SB 79 establishes new development standards and increased residential density and height limits for properties located within ½ mile of a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) stop and zoned for residential, mixed-use, or commercial uses.
Staff has been working diligently since the bill’s adoption in October 2025 to interpret the bill, gather data, and understand how the legislation affects Glendale. A detailed overview of SB 79 and its implications to the City, as well as implementation options, were presented to City Council and the public on March 3, 2026 (see staff report as Exhibit 2, with attachments and video available online for Council Item 10d:
https://glendaleca.primegov.com/Portal/Meeting?meetingTemplateId=40679).
As noted in the staff report and Council presentation, SB 79 establishes two tiers of TOD stops, based on the type and frequency of transit provided, each with specific development standards based on a site’s proximity to a TOD stop. The two tiers are summarized below:
Tier Transit Type
Tier 1 Heavy Rail Transit
Very High Frequency Commuter Rail (at least 72 trips per day) Tier 2 Light Rail Transit
High Frequency Commuter Rail (at least 48 trips per day) Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Stations with full-time dedicated lanes or operation in a separate right-of-way dedicated for public transportation, & service every 15 minutes or less during AM & PM peak commuter periods SB 79 then applies three radiuses around each TOD stop (within 200 feet adjacent to the TOD stop, between 200 feet and ¼-mile, and between ¼ mile and ½-mile) that establish the height, density and Floor Area Ratio (FAR) permitted for an SB 79 project.
The SB 79 development standards for Tier 2 TOD stops applicable to Glendale are summarized in the table below
Tier 2 TOD Stop Development Standards
Distance from TOD stop Within 200 ft. ¼ Mile ½ Mile
Permitted Height (ft)* 85’ (8 stories) 65’ (6 stories) 55’ (5 stories) Permitted Density (DU/AC) 140 100 80
Permitted Floor Area Ratio (FAR) 4.0 3.0 2.5
* The height in stories provided is approximate based on overall height allowed.

7 In addition to the standards above, SB 79 projects can be coupled with Density Bonus regulations, allowing even greater density to be achieved. Housing projects utilizing the Density Bonus are permitted to use the density allowed under SB 79 as the “base density” for their projects. SB 79 also grants additional concessions for housing projects, depending on the level of affordable housing provided. Cities are not required to grant a waiver or concession for Density Bonus projects that propose heights above what is permitted by SB 79 unless the project proposes 100% affordable housing.
TOD Stops in Glendale
According to the draft SB79 map released by Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) on June 1, 2026, Glendale has one TOD stop at the Larry Zarian Glendale Transportation Center (GTC) and seven TOD stops along the proposed North Hollywood to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route. All of Glendale’s TOD stops are categorized as Tier 2 stops. These stops and corresponding radiuses are identified in Exhibit 3.
Larry Zarian Glendale Transportation Center (“GTC”)
In 2023, Glendale adopted TOD zoning that allows densities up to 100 DU/AC near the GTC in Tropico, making much of this area consistent with SB 79 standards. Recent clarifications received from HCD indicate that all parcels within the GTC TOD stop ½- mile radius are subject to SB 79, except for those zoned “Transportation” (T) and “Special Recreation” (SR). This includes portions of the Brand Boulevard of Cars, the industrial and industrial mixed-use zones along San Fernando Road, and even Forest Lawn Cemetery. The map below generally shows the GTC SB 79 TOD stop ¼ mile and ½ mile radiuses (see Exhibit 3):
Exhibit 1 - 06.09.26 CC Report for Introduction of SB79 Delayed Effectuation Ordinance 130 of 745
4 6
8 6
7 North Hollywood to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project According to SCAG’s map, the proposed stops along the BRT route qualify as Tier 2 TOD stops. In Glendale, the BRT is proposed to have seven stops:
Three stops on West Glenoaks Boulevard between the Burbank border and Central Avenue;
One stop on Central Avenue at Lexington Drive; and
Three stops on East Broadway, between Brand Boulevard and the city limits.
The BRT route goes through multiple areas of the city, including low-density single- family neighborhoods along West Glenoaks Boulevard, a high-density urban area in downtown on Central Avenue, and smaller scale commercial uses on East Broadway.
Unfortunately, under SB 79, these varying development patterns are all subject to the same standards, and the City has a very limited ability to mitigate the impacts of SB 79.
The following map generally illustrates the proposed BRT route through Glendale with preliminary radiuses around each stop (see Exhibit 3):

7 SB 79 Limitations and Applicable Code Requirements
SB 79 imposes certain restrictions on the type of development that is permitted. SB 79:
Does not apply to projects containing hotel, motel, or similar transient lodging uses;
Does not apply to projects requiring demolition of rent- or price-controlled housing on sites containing more than two units that have been occupied within the previous seven years;
Requires projects to comply with anti-displacement standards under the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 and any and all local implementation programs; Requires projects greater than 10 units to comply with affordable housing standards and allows cities to enforce inclusionary housing standards; and Imposes prevailing wage and other labor requirements on buildings over 85 feet in height.
In Glendale, SB 79 projects would remain subject to the following local and state requirements:
Development standards in the Glendale Zoning Code and any applicable Specific Plan, including the Downtown Specific Plan (DSP);
The City’s recently adopted Objective Design Standards (ODS); The City’s Design Review process, including any required public hearings; The City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (GMC Chapter 30.35); State law regarding demolition of protected affordable housing units; Glendale’s anti-displacement program and inclusionary zoning requirements; and The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Note: SB 79 does not establish a CEQA exemption or create a by-right approval process for qualifying developments. However, SB 79 projects may be combined with other laws, such as AB 130 and CEQA Class 32 (infill development), which may streamline CEQA review.
Local Effort, Interagency Coordination & Remaining Implementation Uncertainties Since the March Council meeting, Glendale staff has continued to regularly meet with a tri-cities working group consisting of planning staff from the cities of Glendale, Burbank, and Pasadena, and has also met with the City of Los Angeles to understand how the neighboring jurisdictions are interpreting and implementing SB 79. Additionally, Glendale staff has been working with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) to accurately identify eligible TOD stops and associated sites.
The City has also sought clarification regarding implementation of the law with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
Despite these collaborative efforts, there are still some uncertainties regarding implementation of SB 79. Most significantly, the precise radiuses applicable to each TOD stop will not be finalized until SCAG publishes the official SB 79 mapping for the region, which is anticipated shortly before or perhaps even after the law’s effective date of July 1, 2026. The agency released its mapping methodology on May 22, and its draft Exhibit 1 - 06.09.26 CC Report for Introduction of SB79 Delayed Effectuation Ordinance 132 of 745
6 6
8 6
7 map on June 1, with the official map to be considered by the SCAG Regional Council on July 2, 2026.
These radiuses are central to implementation of the legislation because they will determine which parcels fall within the 200-foot, one-quarter-mile, and one-half-mile distances from qualifying TOD stops. The mapped boundaries will not only establish the applicable development standards for affected properties, but will also determine the precise development capacity and density assumptions that must be incorporated into any local TOD alternative plan pursued by a jurisdiction.
Delayed Effectuation Ordinance
At the March 3, 2026, City Council meeting, having accepted the status report on and proposed options for implementing SB 79, Council directed staff to proceed with Option 3 – Delayed Effectuation and Implementation Ordinance. The delayed effectuation ordinance option allows cities to adopt a local ordinance that excludes certain sites from SB 79 and delays full implementation of the law until one year after adoption of the 7th Cycle Housing Element. Under this approach, SB 79 implementation would be delayed until approximately 2030 unless a TOD alternative plan is adopted before then.
As part of the delayed effectuation option, individual sites may be exempted if they meet certain criteria. In Glendale, only three site-level exemptions apply:
Sites located in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone; Sites with a historic resource designated on a local register prior to January 1, 2025; and
Sites where allowable density and residential FAR are at least 50 percent of SB 79 standards;
Glendale has several sites that are located within a VHFHSZ and/or that contain a historic resource as of January 1, 2025. Staff is presenting an urgency ordinance to temporarily exempt those sites; the urgency ordinance goes into effect immediately upon adoption. This would allow the City to remove these sensitive sites from SB 79 applicability prior to the July 1st effective date, while continuing to monitor the legislation over the next several years as additional bills are passed, ordinances are adopted in other California communities, and legal challenges are resolved. In addition, this option does not preclude the City from adopting a TOD alternative plan at a later date, once additional extensive research, analysis and public outreach are conducted.
Based on the current draft mapping analysis, there are approximately 465 parcels within the SB 79 GTC area, with 22 parcels that would be excluded due to non-applicable zoning (Special Recreation (SR) or Transportation (T) zones), VHFHSZ designation, or historic status, leaving 443 parcels potentially subject to SB 79. Of the remaining 443 parcels, approximately 3 are within 200 feet of a qualifying stop, 153 are within a quarter-mile, and 287 are within a half-mile radius.
There are also approximately 8,656 parcels within the SB 79 BRT area. Approximately 317 parcels would be excluded due to zoning (SR or T), VHFHSZ designation, or Exhibit 1 - 06.09.26 CC Report for Introduction of SB79 Delayed Effectuation Ordinance 133 of 745
7 6
8 6
7 historic status, leaving 8,339 parcels potentially subject to SB 79. Of the remaining parcels, approximately 112 are within 200 feet of a qualifying stop, 3,156 are within a quarter-mile, and 5,071 are within a half-mile radius.
After accounting for the proposed exclusions, approximately 8,782 (443 + 8,339) parcels citywide would remain subject to SB 79. The proposed delayed effectuation urgency ordinance does not currently address sites where allowable density and residential FAR are already at least 50 percent of SB 79 standards; this issue is discussed in greater detail in the subsequent section below.
Proposed sites for exclusion are identified in Exhibit 4 - Map of VHFHSZ sites within TOD radiuses and Exhibit 5 - Map of historic register sites as of January 1, 2025, within TOD radiuses.
Additional Considerations for Delayed Effectuation
As mentioned above, Glendale does have several additional sites that qualify for delayed effectuation under the criterion that they meet at least 50% of the permitted SB 79 densities (50 du/ac within ¼ mile and 40 du/ac within a ½ mile of a TOD stop). These sites are most notably located in the TOD zones around the GTC, within the Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) area, and areas currently zoned R-1250. Council has the option of exempting these sites from SB 79 projects as well. However, since these sites have previously been identified as appropriate for higher density development, these exemptions should be carefully considered. An unintended consequence of exempting existing these high-density sites may be that SB 79 development interest and pressure shift to lower density parcels.
Additionally, entire TOD stop radiuses may qualify for delayed effectuation if:
At least 1/3 of sites in the TOD radius currently allow at least 50% of the density and FAR required by the bill, and
All sites within the TOD radius cumulatively allow for at least 75% of the aggregate density allowed by the bill.
Additional parcel-level analysis is needed to determine whether the TOD stops located near the GTC and along Central Avenue in the DSP qualify for the zone-level exemption.
It should be noted that the single-family and low-density multi-family neighborhoods within the three TOD stops along the Glenoaks portion of the BRT do not qualify for this zone-level exemption, nor are the individual sites currently zoned with enough density to qualify for delayed effectuation. As such, there are limited options available to prevent SB 79 projects along the Glenoaks corridor. Even under a TOD alternative plan which could reduce allowable SB 79 densities by 50% (maximum), all of the Glenoaks corridor, including the R1 areas, would have to be upzoned to 40-to-50 dwelling units per acre, equivalent to the R-1250 zone designation.

7 Should Council wish to pursue a TOD stop radius exemption for delayed effectuation, staff would need direction to conduct additional analysis and return at a later date with findings and recommendations. SB 79 does not require cities to adopt an ordinance to temporarily exempt sites prior to July 1, 2026; therefore, Council may amend this ordinance or adopt a subsequent ordinance to include additional sites at a later date.
NEXT STEPS
Staff recommends adoption of a “delayed effectuation” ordinance as an urgency matter to exempt certain properties from SB 79 before SB 79 takes effect on July 1, 2026.
Any proposed ordinance must be submitted to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for review at least 14 days prior to local adoption; staff submitted the proposed urgency ordinance for review on May 27, 2026. Any ordinance enacted must be submitted to HCD within 60 days of adoption. HCD has 90 days to review the enacted ordinance and make a finding whether it is in substantial compliance with SB 79. If HCD deems the ordinance non-compliant, the local agency has 60 days to respond before taking further action. If the local agency is found to be in non- compliance, by either refusing to amend the ordinance or make findings explaining how the ordinance complies, then HCD is required to notify the Attorney General that the local government is in violation.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
This report serves as an opportunity to provide the community additional information on the status of SB 79 and options available to the City. An email blast was sent to all of the Long Range Planning outreach list members (over 850+ members, including HOA and community group representatives), regarding this SB 79 presentation.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact is associated with this urgency ordinance delaying the effectuation of SB 79 on certain sites.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Government Code §65912.160(c)(2), which explicitly states that an ordinance adopted to implement the provisions of SB 79 shall not be considered a project under Division 13 (commencing with §21000) of the Public Resources Code.

2. Motion providing direction regarding establishment of regulations for operation of PDDs on public right-of-way.
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for June 23, 2026 calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On March 31, 2026, the City Council received a report regarding PDDs, commonly referred to as delivery robots. At that meeting, Council deferred action and directed staff to continue monitoring regional developments, conduct additional outreach, and return with updated information as well as a potential moratorium pending establishment of pilot or permanent regulations.
Since that time, staff has conducted additional research, met with PDD operators, coordinated with City departments, reviewed regulations adopted by neighboring jurisdictions, and initiated outreach to the business community. Staff found that neighboring jurisdictions generally regulate PDDs through permits, operating agreements, or pilot programs rather than prohibiting them outright. However, significant differences exist regarding allowable automation levels, fleet sizes, operating areas, insurance requirements, and oversight mechanisms.
The purpose of this report is to provide City Council with updated information regarding PDD operations, present a potential moratorium on operation of PDDs, and to obtain direction regarding preparing regulations governing PDD operations within Glendale.

on the deployment and operation of PDDs on public rights-of-way and/or direct staff to develop regulations governing the operation of PDDs on public rights-of-way.
ANALYSIS
Background
PDDs are electrically powered devices designed to transport goods using sidewalks and pedestrian facilities. These devices are most used for food, grocery, and retail deliveries and have become increasingly common throughout Southern California.
On March 31, 2026, the City Council received a report regarding PDDs. At that meeting, Council directed staff to continue monitoring regional developments, coordinate with neighboring jurisdictions, conduct additional outreach, and return with updated information to inform a potential regulatory framework.
Since that time, staff has conducted additional research, met with PDD operators, coordinated with City departments, reviewed regulations adopted by neighboring jurisdictions, and initiated outreach to Glendale businesses.
Research Conducted Since March 2026
Following Council direction, staff conducted additional research regarding PDD operations and regulations. Staff met with PDD operators to better understand available technologies, operational models, safety features, insurance requirements, and municipal oversight mechanisms. Staff also reviewed recently adopted regulations and pilot programs implemented by neighboring jurisdictions and coordinated with internal departments regarding operational, accessibility, liability, and enforcement considerations.
In addition, the Economic Development Division conducted targeted outreach to businesses located in areas where PDDs have been observed operating. Outreach included direct contact with restaurant owners and managers, as well as coordination with the Glendale Chamber of Commerce, Montrose Chamber of Commerce, and Montrose Shopping Park Association. A total of 38 businesses responded to the outreach effort, including 35 restaurants and three retail establishments.
Among restaurant respondents, 13 reported they were currently utilizing PDDs for deliveries, while 22 reported they were not currently using the technology. Of the businesses not utilizing PDDs, most indicated that the devices had not yet been deployed by their delivery platforms in their service areas rather than expressing opposition to the technology itself. Only two respondents reported actively choosing not to participate due to corporate policy or because their product was not suitable for delivery with robots.
Businesses currently utilizing PDDs generally report positive experiences, rating their usefulness an average of 7.5 out of 10. Respondents using the autonomous delivery robots cited benefits such as reliable delivery performance and faster or more efficient deliveries (as compared with non-robotic delivery options), and positive customer reactions, with several noting that customers find the delivery robots appealing or “cool.” 138 of 745

Across users, all respondents reported no material impact on restaurant operations, including staffing, workflow, or order volume, with the single exception being a complaint by one respondent about increased platform notifications sent from Uber Eats to the restaurant when a robot delivery unit was being sent. Similarly, all users reported minimal to no impact (positive or negative) on customers beyond general curiosity regarding the technology.
Three respondents to the survey were retail shops in Montrose. While they cannot use autonomous delivery robots as they do not deliver food, they did share concerns about the robots introducing congestion on sidewalks, potential for vandalism against the robots, and a detraction from the neighborhood’s charm. The three (3) retail shops also noted that they have not seen any impact (negative or positive) on their operations, nor on their customers because of the presence of the robots. It must be noted that PDD companies have not been observed by staff to be operating in the neighborhood of Montrose.
In addition to the survey responses, staff received feedback from the Glendale Chamber of Commerce regarding the use of PDDs within Downtown Glendale. The Chamber noted that portions of Downtown contain several multi-story office buildings served by shared parking facilities and have limited restaurant options within walking distance, making food delivery a popular service for employees in the area. The Chamber indicated that PDDs have been viewed positively in these locations because they provide a convenient delivery option while reducing the need for delivery drivers to temporarily stop in red zones, search for parking, or navigate large office buildings to complete deliveries.
The Chamber further noted that the devices may be particularly well-suited for certain commercial areas where delivery demand is high and pedestrian activity is more predictable. At the same time, the Chamber acknowledged that operational considerations, including pedestrian safety and sidewalk conditions, should be evaluated in more congested areas if the city elects to permit PDD operations in the future.
Overall, feedback suggests that autonomous delivery robots are currently perceived by restaurants as a positive supplemental delivery option with limited operational impact at this stage, though there is cautious optimism about their potential as deployment expands.
Regional Regulatory Review
Staff reviewed regulations and pilot programs implemented by several Southern California jurisdictions, including Los Angeles, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, Pasadena, and Culver City.
While regulatory approaches vary, staff found that neighboring jurisdictions generally permit PDD operations subject to operational controls and oversight. Staff did not identify any California jurisdictions that currently prohibit PDD operations outright. 139 of 745
10a4
26-90223
6 8
9 5
Several common regulatory components were identified among the jurisdictions reviewed, including:
• Insurance and indemnification requirements;
• Business licenses, permits, or operating agreements;
• Fleet size limitations;
• Speed restrictions;
• Geofencing requirements;
• Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance standards; • Device identification requirements;
• Customer service and complaint response standards;
• Data sharing and reporting requirements; and
• Enforcement mechanisms, including permit suspension or revocation.
Los Angeles
The City of Los Angeles currently regulates PDDs through a pilot program administered by the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT). Operators are required to obtain permits and comply with detailed operational requirements addressing insurance, fleet size, ADA compliance, geofencing, reporting requirements, and performance standards.
The Los Angeles program permits both semi-autonomous and autonomous devices.
Operators are generally limited to 75 devices within designated service areas and are subject to annual permit fees based on fleet size. Additional requirements address device specifications, pedestrian accessibility, data sharing, insurance coverage, indemnification, and permit suspension or revocation for non-compliance.
Santa Monica
The City of Santa Monica regulates PDDs through a permit and business license framework supplemented by administrative regulations. Santa Monica's regulations address operational requirements such as insurance and indemnification, ADA compliance, speed restrictions, incident reporting, customer service standards, permitted operating areas, and parking restrictions.
Unlike Los Angeles, Santa Monica limits operations to devices operating at Level 3 automation or below, requiring continuous human oversight. The city does not currently impose fleet limitations but requires operators to establish standard operating procedures and prohibits the delivery of certain materials, including hazardous materials, weapons, and tobacco products.
West Hollywood
West Hollywood initially implemented a pilot program before transitioning to a permanent operating agreement model. Rather than utilizing permits, the city has begun regulating operators through annual operating agreements that establish operating conditions and performance standards.
The framework limits operations to designated hours, caps the number of active devices 140 of 745
10a5
26-90223
6 8
9 5
operating within the city, requires geofencing technology, establishes response time requirements for malfunctions and complaints, requires compliance with ADA accessibility standards, and imposes insurance and indemnification requirements. West Hollywood also charges fees based on fleet size and restricts deliveries to food and retail purchases.
Pasadena
The City of Pasadena continues to evaluate a PDD program and is developing a framework that incorporates elements of both the Santa Monica and West Hollywood models. Pasadena has discussed limiting the number of devices permitted per operator, requiring operating agreements with the city, and implementing permit requirements similar to Santa Monica's program.
Draft concepts reviewed by Pasadena include fleet limitations, operating standards, insurance requirements, and restrictions on advertising displayed on the devices.
Levels of Automation and Technology Considerations
In addition to operational requirements, staff found that jurisdictions vary in the types of PDD technologies they permit. Some programs allow autonomous devices, while others limit operations to devices that remain under continuous human oversight.
Automation levels generally range from Level 0 (No Automation) to Level 5 (Full Automation). Lower-level systems rely heavily on human oversight, while higher-level systems are capable of independently performing operating functions with limited or no human intervention.
Under the City of Santa Monica's PDD regulations, operations are limited to Level 3 automation or below. Level 3 devices can perform certain operating functions and detect environmental conditions, but human oversight remains required. Levels 4 and 5 represent increasingly autonomous operation capable of independently performing operating tasks under specific or all operating conditions.
Staff learned that PDD operators currently utilize different technologies and operational models. Some systems rely on continuous human monitoring and remote intervention, while others are designed to operate with a higher degree of autonomy. As the technology continues to evolve, the City Council may wish to consider whether future regulations should distinguish between semi-autonomous and autonomous devices.
Potential Benefits and Implementation Considerations
Staff's research identified several potential benefits associated with PDD operations, including increased delivery options for residents, support for local businesses, reduced reliance on vehicle-based deliveries for short trips, and opportunities to encourage innovation and emerging technologies.
During discussions with PDD operators, representatives indicated that the devices are primarily utilized for shorter-distance deliveries and smaller orders that may be less 141 of 745
10a6
26-90223
6 8
9 5
attractive to traditional delivery drivers due to lower compensation associated with those trips. As a result, PDDs may provide an additional delivery option for local businesses and customers seeking short-distance deliveries.
Operators also indicated that PDDs may help reduce delivery-related vehicle activity in high-demand commercial areas. According to the operators, deliveries performed by PDDs may reduce the need for delivery drivers to temporarily stop or park in loading zones, red curbs, or other congested areas while picking up and delivering orders.
In addition, operators stated that PDDs can be dispatched immediately once an order is prepared, reducing the time between food preparation and pickup. Operators further indicated that delivery distances are often limited to approximately 30 minutes or less to help maintain food quality and customer satisfaction.
If the City Council elects to pursue regulations governing PDD operations, staff recommends that the Council provide policy direction regarding several operational and regulatory considerations. Staff's review found that neighboring jurisdictions have adopted different approaches depending on local priorities and community needs.
Potential considerations include:
Geographic Limitations – Whether PDD operations should be permitted citywide or limited to specific areas, such as Downtown Glendale, commercial corridors, or other designated zones.
Fleet Limitations – Whether to establish a maximum number of devices that may operate within the city or within specific geographic areas. Operating Distance – Whether to limit the distance a device may travel from a participating business or distribution point.
Hours of Operation – Whether to establish operating hours or prohibit operations during certain times of day.
Level of Automation – Whether to permit all levels of automation or limit operations to devices operating under continuous human oversight, similar to Santa Monica's regulations.
Permitting Structure – Whether operators should be regulated through a permit program, operating agreement, business license requirements, or a combination thereof.
ADA and Accessibility Requirements – Requirements to ensure devices do not obstruct sidewalks, curb ramps, transit stops, or other pedestrian facilities. Data Reporting Requirements – Whether operators should provide operational data, incident reports, complaint records, or other information to the city. Customer Service Standards – Requirements related to complaint response times, emergency contacts, and device identification.
No single regulatory model has emerged as a regional standard. Should Council wish to pursue regulations, staff is seeking direction regarding which operational elements should be incorporated into a Glendale-specific regulatory framework. 142 of 745

9 5
Additionally, at the direction of Council, the City Attorney has prepared an uncodified urgency ordinance establishing a moratorium on the deployment and operation of PDDs within the right of way. If the Council desires to adopt the ordinance, it should introduce the ordinance (to be adopted at a subsequent meeting) with a sunset provision that would allow it to expire within a defined period of time. The ordinance would act as a moratorium on the deployment and operation of PDDs while the City further studies and prepares draft regulations based on the direction given by Council. Alternatively, Council could direct staff to prepare draft regulations but not enact a moratorium ordinance.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
Staff coordinated with the City Attorney's Office, Community Development Department, Economic Development Division, Public Works Department, Police Department, and other City departments regarding PDD operations and regulatory considerations.
In addition, staff met with PDD operators and conducted outreach to the business community regarding potential deployment within Glendale.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report. However, there are indirect costs such as staffing that are associated with enforcing a moratorium and eventual regulation. Additionally, if regulations to enforce PDD’s are approved in Glendale, new feed may be implemented in order to offset staffing costs related to processing permits, inspection and enforcement services.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
An ordinance prohibiting the deployment or operation of PDDs is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301, in that it consists of the operation of existing public facilities, namely, existing highways and streets, sidewalks, and similar facilities, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.
Moreover, it can be said with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment; thus, it is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061, subdivision (b)(3). Additionally, direction to staff on parameters of a regulatory program does not constitute a “project approval” under CEQA.
CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE
This item is exempt from campaign disclosure requirements.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE,
CALIFORNIA, ENACTING A TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON THE
DEPLOYMENT AND OPERATION OF PERSONAL DELIVERY DEVICES ON
PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY IN THE CITY OF GLENDALE
WHEREAS, the City of Glendale has a substantial governmental interest in protecting the public health, safety, and welfare of persons using the City's streets, sidewalks, crosswalks, curb ramps, pedestrian paths of travel, parkways, and other portions of the public right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, the public right-of-way is a limited public resource that must safely accommodate pedestrians, persons using wheelchairs and other mobility devices, persons with visual, hearing, cognitive, and other disabilities, older adults, children, bicyclists, transit riders, motorists, emergency responders, public works and utility operations, commercial loading, refuse collection, deliveries, outdoor dining, street furniture, trees, landscaping, and other public and private uses authorized by law; and WHEREAS, personal delivery devices, commonly described as food delivery robots or sidewalk delivery robots, are motorized devices used or intended to be used to transport food, packages, merchandise, or other items for commercial delivery, and may be operated remotely, semi-autonomously, autonomously, or by a combination of remote-control and automated functions; and
WHEREAS, personal delivery devices are an emerging technology whose operation in the public right-of-way may provide convenience to consumers and businesses, but also raises unresolved local issues regarding pedestrian safety, accessibility, traffic control compliance, right-of-way obstruction, device size and speed, stopping and dwelling, interaction with driveways and alleys, crosswalk operations, emergency response, insurance, indemnity, data reporting, enforcement, and operator responsibility; and
WHEREAS, the City has observed, received reports of, or has reason to anticipate the deployment of personal delivery devices on sidewalks and other portions of the public right-of-way within Glendale without a comprehensive local regulatory program governing permits/licenses, operating conditions, fleet size, approved routes or zones, hours of operation, device specifications, incident reporting, data reporting, customer service, indemnification, insurance, removal, impoundment, or penalties; and WHEREAS, without local operating standards and an enforceable regulatory program, the deployment of personal delivery devices may create conflicts with pedestrians and other lawful users of the public right-of-way, particularly in commercial districts, transit-adjacent areas, high-pedestrian corridors, narrow sidewalks, construction zones, special event areas, and locations with existing sidewalk congestion; and
145 of 745
1 6
9 1
8 WHEREAS, maintaining a clear and accessible pedestrian path of travel is essential to ensuring that sidewalks and crossings remain usable by persons with disabilities, including persons using wheelchairs, walkers, canes, service animals, or other mobility aids, and by persons with visual or hearing impairments who may have difficulty detecting, anticipating, or avoiding a motorized device operating on a sidewalk or at a crosswalk; and
WHEREAS, personal delivery devices may stop, dwell, queue, stage, park, or become disabled in locations that obstruct sidewalks, curb ramps, building entrances, transit stops, crosswalks, driveways, fire access areas, loading zones, outdoor dining areas, or other locations where obstruction may create safety, accessibility, or operational impacts; and
WHEREAS, the City requires time to evaluate whether, and under what conditions, personal delivery devices may safely and appropriately operate in Glendale's public right-of-way, including whether a pilot program, permit program, geographic limitations, fleet caps, speed limits, operating-hour restrictions, insurance requirements, indemnification requirements, data reporting requirements, device identification requirements, local-contact requirements, enforcement mechanisms, removal procedures, or complete prohibition should be adopted; and WHEREAS, a temporary moratorium will preserve the status quo and prohibit deployment and operation of personal delivery devices while the City studies existing and potential impacts, consults with affected departments and stakeholders, evaluates practices adopted by other jurisdictions, assesses staffing and enforcement needs, and prepares appropriate local regulations for City Council consideration; and WHEREAS, allowing unregulated deployment of personal delivery devices while the City studies these issues could result in operational patterns, business reliance, public expectations, or right-of-way impacts that may make later regulation more difficult and could undermine the City's ability to protect pedestrian safety, accessibility, and the orderly management of the public right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, the prohibition imposed by this Ordinance is limited in scope and duration, applies only to the deployment or operation of personal delivery devices in the public right-of-way, does not prohibit traditional human delivery services, and does not regulate the content of speech or favor or disfavor any particular business based on viewpoint, message, or commodity delivered; and
WHEREAS, the Council finds this Ordinance is a reasonable and necessary interim measure to protect the public health, safety, and welfare while the City develops a comprehensive regulatory approach tailored to Glendale's local conditions; and WHEREAS, the Council further finds that the moratorium is necessary to protect pedestrian safety, accessibility for persons with disabilities, the orderly use and management of the public right-of-way, and the City's ability to adopt and enforce 146 of 745
1 6
9 1
8 regulations before personal delivery devices become more widely deployed within the City; and
WHEREAS, the Council desires to direct City staff to study and return with recommendations regarding appropriate long-term regulation of personal delivery devices; and
WHEREAS, the Council finds that the adoption of this Ordinance is consistent with the City's police powers and its authority to regulate the use of City streets, sidewalks, and other public places in order to protect public health, safety, welfare, accessibility, and the orderly use of the public right-of-way; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the absence of this temporary moratorium creates a present risk that personal delivery devices may operate on sidewalks, curb ramps, crosswalks, parkways, transit stops, and other portions of the public right-of-way in a manner that obstructs pedestrian travel, interferes with disability access, creates conflicts with pedestrians and vehicles, or impairs the orderly and safe use of the public right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that immediate effectiveness is necessary because the City currently lacks a comprehensive local permit program or operating standards specifically designed to address personal delivery devices in the right-of-way, including standards for device identification, local operator contacts, emergency removal, response to disabled or abandoned devices, required reporting of collisions or near misses, and procedures to ensure that sidewalks, curb ramps, and accessible paths of travel remain unobstructed; and
WHEREAS, for the reasons stated in this Ordinance, the Council finds and declares that this Ordinance is necessary as an urgency measure for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety, and that the facts constituting the urgency are the existing absence of comprehensive local regulation for personal delivery devices, the potential for immediate or expanded deployment in the public right- of-way, the risks to pedestrian safety and disability access, and the need to preserve the status quo while the City studies and adopts appropriate regulations; and

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM
Report: North Hollywood to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit Corridor Project Cooperative Agreement
1) Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to conclude negotiations and execute a Cooperative Agreement with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority for the design and construction of the North Hollywood to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit Corridor Project, in substantially the form presented to the City Council, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney.
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for June 23, 2026 calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) is advancing the North Hollywood to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit Corridor Project (Project), a regional bus rapid transit project intended to connect North Hollywood, Burbank, Glendale, Eagle Rock, and Pasadena through a combination of local roadway and freeway segments.
The Project includes improvements within the City of Glendale and requires continued coordination between Metro and the City regarding design review, permitting, utility adjustments, construction activities in the public right-of-way, traffic control, inspection and acceptance, reimbursement, and future operation and maintenance responsibilities.
The purpose of this report is for the City Council to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a Cooperative Agreement with Metro for the design and construction of the Project as it relates to the City of Glendale. The Cooperative Agreement will establish the procedures, roles, responsibilities, and cost reimbursement framework necessary for the City and Metro to coordinate project delivery within Glendale.
Approval of this action will set up the formal framework needed to coordinate delivery of the Glendale portion of the Project, including City review, permitting, construction coordination, reimbursement of eligible City costs, and coordination of future operation and maintenance responsibilities.

RECOMMENDATION
Approve a motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to conclude negotiations and execute a Cooperative Agreement between the City of Glendale and Metro for the design and construction of the Project, in substantially the form presented to the City Council, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney.
ANALYSIS
The Project is a regional transportation project being advanced by Metro to provide premium bus rapid transit service between the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys.
The Project corridor extends approximately 19 miles and is planned to serve major activity, employment, commercial, entertainment, and residential destinations within North Hollywood, Burbank, Glendale, Eagle Rock, and Pasadena. The Project is intended to improve transit reliability, provide faster and more competitive transit service, and improve regional connections for residents, employees, and visitors traveling within the corridor.
The Project will include a combination of mixed-flow and dedicated bus lane segments, station improvements, transit priority features, and related roadway, utility, traffic signal, pedestrian, accessibility, and streetscape elements. Because a portion of the Project will be located within Glendale, Metro and the City must coordinate on work affecting City rights-of-way, City facilities, City-owned utilities, permitting, traffic operations, and long-term maintenance responsibilities.
Metro certified the Final Environmental Impact Report and approved the Project on April 28, 2022. Since that time, Metro and City staff have continued to coordinate on design, constructability, traffic operations, utility conflicts, permitting, maintenance responsibilities, and other matters necessary to advance the Glendale portion of the Project.
The proposed Cooperative Agreement is intended to provide the framework for this coordination. The Agreement generally addresses the following key areas:
• Project scope, schedule, and the City portion of the Project; • Roles and responsibilities between Metro and the City during design, construction, and future operation and maintenance coordination;
• Design review, plan submittal, permitting, and City standard requirements; • Construction requirements for work in the public right-of-way, including traffic control, inspection, acceptance, and closeout procedures; • Utility adjustment coordination, including work involving City-owned utilities; • Annual work planning, Form 60 preparation, work orders, reimbursement procedures, and credits;
• Betterment procedures for improvements requested by the City that are beyond the required Project scope;
• Insurance, warranty, indemnity, and dispute resolution provisions; and • Principles for future operation and maintenance responsibilities between Metro and the City.
161 of 745
10b3
26-90174
6 8
8 1
Under the proposed agreement, Metro may deliver design and construction activities directly or through Metro contractors. The City’s role will include review and approval of activities consistent with the agreement, coordination of permits and public right-of-way requirements, coordination of City facilities and utilities, and performance of City work or support services when authorized through approved work orders. Eligible City costs would be reimbursed in accordance with the work order and annual work plan procedures established in the agreement.
The agreement also recognizes that future operation and maintenance responsibilities will need to be further defined. The Cooperative Agreement includes general operation and maintenance principles; however, the City and Metro are expected to work on a separate agreement amendment to address post-construction operation, maintenance, and related responsibilities in greater detail before those obligations become effective.
At the time this report was prepared, the Cooperative Agreement remained subject to final coordination between the City and Metro. The City and Metro legal teams have been negotiating the agreement language, including remaining items related to betterments. Staff is requesting authorization for the City Manager, or his designee, to conclude the negotiations and execute the agreement in substantially the form presented to the City Council, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney.
Approval of this action will not, by itself, approve final project design details, appropriate construction funds, establish post-construction maintenance responsibilities, or waive any required City approvals. Future City actions, permits, work orders, reimbursements, budget appropriations, or operation and maintenance obligations will be processed in accordance with the final agreement, any future operation and maintenance agreement, and applicable City procedures.
The Cooperative Agreement establishes a process for Metro to reimburse the City for eligible costs related to the Project. These may include City staff time, consultant support, plan review, inspection, acceptance, closeout, utility coordination, and other City support services requested or required for the Project. These costs would be authorized through future Work Orders and Annual Work Plans, as applicable.
Furthermore, any City-requested improvements beyond the required Project scope, also known as betterments, would be handled separately in accordance with the agreement and would remain subject to applicable City approvals and budget appropriations.
Future operation and maintenance responsibilities may result in City costs for City facilities within the public right-of-way. However, these costs are not being approved at this time and will depend on the final Project scope and a future operation and maintenance agreement to be executed between the City and Metro. Any required future City funding appropriation needs will be presented to the City Council through the City’s budget process or separate Council action, as applicable. 162 of 745

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
Metro is the lead agency responsible for the overall Project development, environmental clearance, regional coordination, and public outreach for the Project. City staff will continue to support coordination with Metro as it relates to the Glendale portion of the Project, including coordination on design review, construction impacts, permitting, utility adjustments, traffic operations, public outreach, and maintenance responsibilities.
Internal coordination has included, and will continue to include, Public Works, the City Attorney’s Office, Water and Power, Police, Fire, and other City departments as needed based on the Project scope and potential impacts. Additional stakeholder and public coordination will occur as the Project advances through design, preconstruction, and construction phases.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with this report, and no appropriation is requested at this time. The requested action authorizes execution of an interagency Cooperative Agreement, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
Metro, as the lead agency for the Project, conducted environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and an Environmental Impact Report was prepared pursuant to 14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15080 et seq. and was certified by the Metro Board of Directors on April 28, 2022. The action under consideration is limited to authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a Cooperative Agreement between the City and Metro for design and construction coordination related to the North Hollywood to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit Corridor Project. The City’s authorization to execute the Cooperative Agreement is administrative in nature and is not a separate project under CEQA.
CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE
This item is exempt from campaign disclosure requirements.
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Alternative 1: Do not approve the motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the Cooperative Agreement with Metro for the North Hollywood to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit Corridor Project. This alternative would delay the City’s ability to establish a formal agreement with Metro for the Glendale portion of the Project, including procedures for design review, permitting, construction coordination, utility adjustments, reimbursements, and future operation and maintenance responsibilities.

The City shall pay such costs to LACMTA within 90 days of receiving an invoice from LACMTA. If the Parties agree, LACM TA may deduct the amount due from the City to LACMTA pursuant to this Section 2.4(b) from payment(s) due to the City.

Where the delayed obligation relates to Design or Construction work that the City has agreed to perform under the terms of this Agreement or where LACMTA reasonably determines that the City will be unable to timely comple te any Design or Construction work that the City has agreed to perform under the terms of this Agreement, LACMTA may by Notice to the City suspend the affected element of the City's work and LACMTA may perform the remaining work. If LACMTA takes over work in accordance with this Section 2.4(c), the City shall cooperate and assist LACMTA in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. (d) To the extent:
(i) a failure by LACMTA to perform its work and obligations in accordance with the work schedules, review periods and timelines identified in this Agreement and/or any Work Order; or
(ii) the rejection by LACMTA of a reasonable r equest by the City for additional resources under Section 2.4(a),

33 EXHIBIT 1 – PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The NoHo to Pasadena Project is a new bus rapid transit (BRT) system that will provi de a BRT service connecting several cities and communities between the San Fernando an d San Gabriel Valleys. From west to east, the route traverses the communities of North Hollywood (in the City of Los Angeles), Burbank, Glendale, Eagle Rock (in the City of Los Angeles) and Pasadena. The NoHo to Pasadena Project will operate along a combination of local roadways and freeway sections with various configurations of mixed-flow and dedicated bus lanes depending on location.
The 19-mile BRT corridor serves as a key regional conn ection between the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys.
Each community has dense residential populations and many cultural, entertainment, shopping, and employment areas throughout, including the NoHo Arts District, Burbank Medi a District, Glendale Galleria, Americana at Brand, Eagle Rock Plaza, and Old Pasadena to be served by 22 stations included in the Project. The Project will offer a premium transit service connecting to these destinations with an estimated end-to-end travel time of approximately 70 minutes.
This compares with an existing travel time of approximately 2 hours using a combination of existing bus lines such as 180, 92, 155, and 224. Additionally, th e Project will greatly enhance service re liability by separating buses from the fluctuating traffic congestion, resulting in more consistent run times. The Project will also maintain its faster travel times and reliability even as traffic congestion continues to wors en over time. Further, the BRT will also include additional features that will enhance the customer experience. The NoHo to Pasadena Project will provide improved and reliable transit service to meet the mobility needs of residents, employees, and visitors who travel within the corridor. As a result, the Project is anticipated to attract approximately 30,000 daily riders when it opens.
In addition, to advancing the goals of LACMTA's Vision 2028 Strategic Plan, objectives of the NoHo to Pasadena Project include:
1. Advance a premium transit service that is more competitive with auto travel.
2. Improve accessibility for disadvantaged communities.
3. Improve transit access to major activity and employment centers.
4. Enhance connectivity to LACMTA and other regional transit services.
5. Provide improved passenger comfort and convenience.
6. Support community plans and transit-oriented community goal.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM
Report: Side Letter Agreement Between the City and Glendale Police Officers’ Association (GPOA)
1. Motion Approving Side Letter Agreement Modifying Language in the GPOA Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) effective July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027 to Clarify Intent of Specified Special Compensation Items
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for 6/23/2026 calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As a contracting agency of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), the City of Glendale is subject to statutory and regulatory requirements that govern whether compensation is reportable for pension calculation purposes. The Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL), the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA), and the California Code of Regulations (CCR) require that contracting agencies must accurately reflect information related to compensation items in approved documentation. For compensation paid in addition to base salary, this must include the relevant intent, eligibility criteria, and conditions of payment.
By way of letter dated November 17, 2025, CalPERS determined that compensation paid and reported to CalPERS for Administrative Assignment Program and Police Agent Program were not compliant under the PERL for a retired Police Officer. The basis for the determination was that the conditions of payment were not contained in a written labor policy or agreement, a requirement under the PERL. The City submitted an appeal on behalf of the Police Officer on January 23, 2026. Separately, in a letter dated November 5, 2025, CalPERS determined that compensation paid and reported as Longevity Pay and Motorcycle Patrol Premium on behalf of a current Police Officer was also non-compliant. The basis for the determination was that the payment of such items was not consistent with the terms contained in the relevant written labor policy or agreement, a requirement under the PERL.
The City has been working with special counsel from Best Best & Krieger, with expertise on CalPERS requirements, to prepare a side letter to the July 1, 2024 through June 30, 236 of 745
210c
6 8
9 9
2027 Memorandum of Understanding between the City and the Glendale Police Officers’ Association containing revised language to address the concerns raised by CalPERS. The side letter has been submitted to the CalPERS MOU Review Unit for a compliance statement. If the compliance statement is not received in time, this item will be deferred to a subsequent meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve the Side Letter modifying the Longevity Pay, Police Agent Lead Program, Motorcycle Duty, and Police Administrative Officer Pay bringing it into compliance for GPOA employees, past retirees, and future retirees.
ANALYSIS
Special compensation encompasses items paid in addition to base salary that align with the exclusive list of items identified under Title 2 California Code Regulations (“CCR”) section 571(a) for classic CalPERS members and CCR section 571.1(b) for PEPRA CalPERS members. Further, all special compensation must meet the requirements listed under Title 2 CCR section 571(b) for classic CalPERS members and section 571.1(a) for PEPRA CalPERS members.
Longevity Pay
The City’s longevity compensation aligns with “Longevity Pay” special compensation for CalPERS as defined under CCR sections 571 and 571.1.
Longevity Pay is defined in CCR section 571 as follows:
“Additional compensation to employees who have been with an employer, or in a specified job classification, for a certain minimum period of time exceeding five years.”
CalPERS determined the “sworn police officer” eligibility criterion used in the GPOA MOU did not qualify as a specified job classification, and it must be based on “police officer” only. After researching the matter, City staff determined there is no difference in application of longevity pay between “sworn police officer” and “police officer” either historically or for future periods. As such, the Side Letter removes the word “sworn.” Police Agent Program
Compensation reported to CalPERS as Detective Division Premium was for Police Agent Program pay and most closely aligns with the definition of “Lead Worker/Supervisor Premium” special compensation CCR sections 571 and 571.1.
Lead Worker/Supervisor Premium is defined in CCR section 571 as follows:
237 of 745
310c
6 8
9 9
“Compensation to employees who are routinely and consistently assigned to a lead or supervisory position over other employees, subordinate classifications, or agency-sponsored program participants.”
Based on discussions with the City and GPOA, Special Counsel suggested that Police Agent Program be renamed to “Police Agent Lead Program,” given the intent to compensate employees for the additional lead duties. Further conforming revisions were made within the Side Letter to clarify the requirements of the program.
Motorcycle Duty
Compensation related to Motorcycle Duty aligns with “Motorcycle Patrol Premium” special compensation for CalPERS as defined under CCR sections 571 and 571.1.
Motorcycle Patrol Premium is defined in CCR section 571 as follows:
“Compensation to local police officers and county peace officers who are routinely and consistently assigned to operate and/or patrol on motorcycle.” The Side Letter makes straightforward clarifications to align with the definition of Motorcycle Patrol Premium by specifying that employees are routinely and consistently assigned and operate a two-wheeled vehicle when receiving the compensation.
Administrative Assignment Program
Compensation for the Administrative Assignment Program most closely aligns with the definition of “Police Administrative Officer” special compensation CCR sections 571 and 571.1.
Police Administrative Officer is defined in CCR section 571 as follows:
“Compensation to rank and file police officers, county peace officers and school police or security officers who are routinely and consistently assigned to police administration to provide support for the police chief and command staff in the operation of the police department.”
After review, City staff determined that the compensation reported to CalPERS as Police Administrative Officer related to the Administrative Assignment Program. Current GPOA language identifies that the compensation applies to employees working schedules other than a 3/12 schedule, and CalPERS determined that this was an impermissible eligibility criterion for Police Administrative Officer compensation. Through research and discussions with GPOA, it was determined that all 3/12 assignments are non- administrative in nature, and that the only employees who receive Administrative 238 of 745

Assignment Program compensation work in specific assignments that routinely perform administrative roles to support the Police Department.
As such, Special Counsel suggested revised language in the Side Letter to conform with the City’s practice. Specifically, that eligibility for Administrative Assignment Program relies on being in one of the specified roles that routinely performing administrative work, which aligns with CalPERS' definition of “Police Administrative Officer.”

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM
Report: Adoption of the City’s FY 2026-27 Gann Appropriations Limit
1. Resolution Adopting FY 2026-27 Gann Appropriations Limit
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for June 23, 2026 calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Gann Initiative established constitutional limits on the amount of tax revenue that may be appropriated by California governmental agencies in a given fiscal year. This limit is initially calculated using actual appropriations from a base year and then adjusted annually using a growth factor that takes into account changes in population and the cost of living. Based on staff’s calculation, the FY 2026-27 Appropriations Limit for the City of Glendale is $429,910,298 and the proposed appropriation subject to the Gann Initiative spending limit is $279,038,594. Therefore, the City’s Proposed FY 2026-27 Budget is in compliance with State of California spending limits as established in article XIIIB of the California Constitution. 248 of 745

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve the attached resolution adopting the City’s FY 2026-27 Gann Appropriations Limit.
ANALYSIS
On November 6, 1979, California voters passed Proposition 4, commonly referred to as the “Gann Initiative”. The Gann Initiative established constitutional limits on the amount of tax revenue that may be appropriated by California governmental agencies in a given fiscal year. This limit is initially calculated using actual appropriations from a base year and then adjusted annually using a growth factor that takes into account changes in population and the cost of living. Statutes clarifying the provisions of the Gann Initiative are now codified in article XIIIB of the California Constitution, which provides the formula for calculating local government spending limits. In addition to Article XIIIB, the Revenue and Taxation Code, Section 7910, requires each local governmental unit to establish its appropriations limit by the beginning of each fiscal year.
In June 1989, California voters passed Proposition 111, which further improved procedural transparency for local governments setting annual appropriations limits.
Among other things, Proposition 111 revised the base year used in calculating the Gann Appropriations Limit from 1979 to 1987 and simplified the formula used for calculating annual adjustments.
Each year, local governments must adjust their Appropriations Limit using two variables:
the change in the cost of living and the change in population. California state law allows a public entity to choose among different methods for calculating these two variables. A local government that is not a school or a college district may choose to define the change in the cost of living in either of two ways: (1) the change in California’s per capita personal income, or (2) the change in the jurisdiction’s local assessment roll from the preceding year that is due to the addition of local non- residential new construction.
Local governments also have two options for defining the change in population:
(1) the percentage change in population within the City, or (2) the percentage change in population within the county where the city is located. To ensure consistency and accuracy among jurisdictions, the Department of Finance is required to post an annual newsletter by May 1st that provides the percentage change in California’s per capita personal income as well as data on population change for each city in the State. The City of Glendale utilizes this newsletter in computing its annual Appropriations Limit.
In calculating the City of Glendale’s FY 2026-27 Gann Appropriations Limit, staff analyzed the four alternative methods for calculating the appropriations limit and elected to use the method that resulted in the most conservative appropriations limit. Based on this analysis, staff have elected to define the change in the cost of living as the change in the City’s local assessment growth and to define the change in population as the percentage change in population within the County. The year-over-year change in City’s local assessment growth has been 3.08% and the change in the County’s population has been a decrease of 0.64%. These percentages are each converted to ratios using a 249 of 745
310d

9 7
state-mandated formula and then multiplied together to obtain an appropriations increase factor. The increase factor for FY 2026-27 is 1.0242. The Appropriations Limit for the upcoming year is finally calculated by multiplying this factor by the Appropriations Limit of the prior fiscal year.
Based on staff’s calculation, the FY 2026-27 Appropriations Limit for the City of Glendale is $429,910,298. The City’s total proposed appropriation subject to the Gann Initiative spending limit (i.e., proceeds from taxes less state mandated exclusions) is $279,038,594. Therefore, the City’s Proposed FY 2026-27 Budget is in compliance with State of California spending limits as established in article XIIIB of the California Constitution. The attached resolution will authorize the new Appropriations Limit for next fiscal year as required by the California Constitution and applicable State Law.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM
Report: FY 2025-26 Glendale Water and Power Transfer
1. Resolution Reducing the Percentage of Operating Revenues to be Transferred from Glendale Water and Power (Electric) to the General Reserve Fund for Fiscal Year 2025-26
COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for June 23, 2026 calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City Charter, Section 22, Article XI, requires the transfer of 25% of the department of Glendale Water and Power’s annual operating electric revenues to the General Reserve Fund unless a lower percentage transfer is approved by the City Council. The City has historically transferred an amount less than 25% by adopting a resolution setting a lower amount. For FY 2025-26, the estimated amount to be transferred out of Glendale Water and Power Electric Surplus Fund is $32,597,286, or 10.8% of the Electric Works estimated Operating Revenue.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve the attached Resolution reducing the percentage of operating revenues to be transferred from Glendale Water and Power (Electric) to the General Reserve Fund for Fiscal Year 2025-26.
ANALYSIS
The attached resolution, as required by the Charter, provides for the annually budgeted transfer of the operating revenue from the Glendale Water and Power Electric Surplus Fund to the General Reserve Fund for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. For FY 2025-26, the estimated amount to be transferred out of Glendale Water and Power Electric Surplus Fund is $32,597,286, or 10.8% of the Electric Works estimated Operating Revenue.
The attached resolution authorizes this transfer from the Electric Works Revenue Fund to the Glendale Water and Power Electric Surplus Fund, transferred from the Glendale Water and Power Electric Surplus Fund to the General Reserve Fund, and further for the transfer from the General Reserve Fund to the General Budget Fund provided the total balance in the General Reserve Fund before this transfer exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the total amount of the anticipated ad valorem tax receipts for Fiscal Year 2025-26 as required by the City Charter.
While we estimate the FY 2025-26 transfer to represent 10.8% of the annual electric works operating revenue received, the actual amount transferred may differ based on the actual operating revenues received by June 30, 2026. It should be noted that the transfer of the operating water revenues to the General Reserve Fund was terminated beginning 2011.

WHEREAS, prior to the time for adopting the General Budget for the Fiscal Year 2025-26, the Council has considered the matter and determined that the transfer should again be suspended for the Water Works Enterprise and decided that it should be reduced to (an estimated $32,597,286) of said revenue for the Electric Works Enterprise and that such reduction is necessary to insure the sound financial position of the Glendale Water and Power Department.
WHEREAS, Section 15, Article XI of the City Charter provides that in any fiscal year in which the total balance in the General Reserve Fund exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the total amount of the anticipated ad valorem tax receipts for that year, the Council may appropriate such excess for any City purpose without returning the same to the General Reserve Fund.

Item Type: Public Hearing
Approved for June 23, 2026 calendar
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City Charter requires an annual public hearing and adoption of the City’s budget for the upcoming year. The FY 2026-27 proposed budget reflects the input received from City Council, as identified during the four study sessions held between April 30 and June 4, 2026. The following proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 annual budget is presented to City Council for adoption.
The total appropriation proposed for FY 2026-27 citywide budget is $1.29 billion, of which $377.9 million is in the General Fund. Based on the FY 2026-27 proposed revenues and appropriations, the General Fund shows an initial $14.2 million deficit.
Factoring in an anticipated budget utilization rate of 96.9%, actual expenditures are projected at $366.1 million, reducing the expected deficit and corresponding use of fund balance to $2.4 million. This results in a projected General Fund reserve of 36.9% of the FY 2026-27 proposed budget. The City Council’s current General Fund Reserve policy is a minimum of 25% of the annual operating budget and a target of 35%. The projected General Fund reserve is expected to remain above target at the end of FY 2026-27.
The City completed a partial user fee study which included Library, Arts & Culture and Community Development. Glendale Water & Power, Police, and Fire requested fee increases to full cost recovery or to create new fees for existing or new services.
Additionally, Community Development is proposing to add Administrative Citations to the fee schedule, and increase the fee for existing citations. The results and recommendations for adoption of the amendments to the Citywide Fee Schedule are presented.
As a part of the FY 2026-27 proposed budget, staff is requesting approval to deposit $60 million into the Pension Rate Stabilization Program Trust Fund account.
As a part of its ongoing effort to ensure an effective and equitable organizational structure, City departments periodically review job classifications, titles, and compensation levels. These reviews address evolving operational needs, market conditions, recruitment and retention challenges, and equity considerations. Staff is proposing six resolutions to revise and establish new classifications, and to delete obsolete classifications, as detailed in this report.

RECOMMENDATION
To hold a public hearing and adopt the FY 2026-27 Proposed Citywide Budget and changes to the Citywide Fee Schedule. To approve a Resolution of Appropriation for FY 2026-27 to deposit $60 million into the Pension Rate Stabilization Program Trust Fund account.

ANALYSIS
FY 2026-27 PROPOSED CITYWIDE BUDGET
The total proposed appropriation for FY 2026-27 citywide budget is $1.29 billion. A summary of revenue estimates and appropriations for all funds can be found in Exhibits 1 and 2 respectively. The following table is a summary of citywide appropriations by fund type as adopted for FY 2025-26 and as proposed for FY 2026-27.
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund provides the majority of ongoing governmental services that are not funded through restricted special revenue funds. These services include Fire, Police, Community Development, Community Services and Parks, Library, Arts & Culture, Public Works, and central support service departments that include City Attorney, City Clerk, City Treasurer, Finance, Human Resources, and Management Services. The General Fund is supported by general taxes including property, sales, utility users, and other taxes, in addition to various fees and a transfer from Electric operating revenue funds.
During the FY 2025-26 budget study sessions, the FY 2026-27 ending fund balance was estimated to decrease by approximately $31.7 million. This significant anticipated budget deficit was driven by a slowdown in revenue growth combined with rapidly rising costs required to maintain City services. Without corrective action, cost increases are expected to continue outpacing revenue growth, resulting in a structural imbalance.
In response, over the past nine months the City Manager’s Office and all department leaders have worked collaboratively to identify and develop solutions to narrow the Fund Type

General Fund funding gap. These efforts focused on both revenue enhancement opportunities and cost-reduction strategies.
To strengthen the City’s ongoing revenue base, staff has identified several recurring revenue enhancements totaling $10.6 million. These measures include increases to parking fees, higher emergency medical response fees, and adjustments to code enforcement and vegetation management fees. The City will also expand efforts to collect Occupancy Tax from home-sharing hosts.
Additionally, the City has assigned a valuation to landfill gas used by Glendale Water & Power for energy generation and plans to allow installation of digital kiosks in the public right-of-way. The Nonprofit Subsidy Program will also be eliminated as part of these ongoing revenue measures.
One-time revenue enhancements will further support closing the budget gap, most notably through the sale of an underutilized City-owned property, which will generate one-time revenue.
On the expenditure side, departments were directed to implement 5% recurring cost reductions over two years, with a target of 3% in FY 2026-27 and an additional 2% in FY 2027-28. For FY 2026-27, these reductions will result in a reduction of vacant positions, reduced temporary staffing in multiple departments, citywide reductions in contracted services and software technology, delayed replacement of a fire apparatus, elimination of the Police Department’s contribution to the Joint Air Support Fund, and modified service hours at select library branches.
The City also reviewed and further decreased internal service fund rates for liability and workers’ compensation insurance.
One-time cost reduction measures include evaluating and reprioritizing capital improvement projects to focus on those providing the greatest community benefit, as well as initiating earlier withdrawals from the Section 115 Pension Trust to help offset pension cost pressures. Altogether, these cost-reduction measures total $17.0 million.
All these measures have been incorporated into the proposed FY 2026-27 budget and the General Fund five-year forecast. Together, they represent feasible short-term actions that meaningfully narrow the General Fund’s funding gap—from $31.7 million to a projected $2.4 million deficit—while also strengthening the City’s long-term fiscal sustainability.

The following table reflects the General Fund revenue estimates for FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27 by major category.
General Fund Revenues
Revenue changes for the proposed FY 2026-27 budget are described in detail below. Property Tax: This category is estimated to generate approximately $92.4 million, reflecting a 5.1% increase compared to the previous year. The City continues to experience modest growth in its property tax revenues; however, home sales and prices have flattened due to persistently high interest rates and a shortage of housing supply. Broader economic uncertainties, including geopolitical tensions and a potential for higher inflation, may further constrain the pace of price growth.
The City’s assessed valuation growth has been trending downward. In FY 2025-26, the City’s taxable property value increased by 3.7%, compared to
5.4% in FY 2022-23. This slowing growth rate limits the projected property tax revenue.
Sales Tax: This category is projected to generate approximately $86.4 million, reflecting a 0.4% decline compared to the prior year. This decline is largely due to continued reduced sales in the auto and transportation category, an area of significant reliance for the City; loss in business and industry; partially offset by increases in several apparel retailers.
Utility Users Tax (UUT): This category is estimated to generate approximately $35.0 million, reflecting a 2.3% increase compared to the prior year. This increase is mainly attributable to the increase in the electric service rates.

Occupancy Taxes: This category is estimated to generate $11.8 million, which is a 3.0% increase from the FY 2025-26 estimate. The increase stems from the opening of a new hotel and stricter enforcement of Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) on home-sharing, despite a decrease in recreational international travel, due to political and fiscal uncertainty.
Licenses & Permits: Th is category is estimated to be approximately $11.8 million, reflecting an increase of 24.9% from the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget. The increase is primarily driven by higher fees resulting from the fee study, as well as the anticipated issuance of building and planning permits for several large projects.
Revenue from Other Agencies: This category is estimated to be approximately $419 thousand, reflecting a modest decrease of 9.0% from the FY 2025-26 estimate. The projected decrease is primarily due to a reduction in the funds received from the State of California Penalty Fund.
Charges for Services: This category is estimated to be approximately $51.1 million, reflecting an 18.6% increase from the FY 2025-26 revenue estimate. This increase is primarily attributable to several revenue enhancement measures, including $3.2 million from emergency medical response fees, $1.2 million from increased parking fees, $1.1 million from higher vegetation management fees, and $500 thousand for increased code enforcement revenue from Community Development. Additional revenue includes $954 thousand from new concierge and express plan check fees and $300 thousand from the implementation of a digital kiosk revenue initiative. Interfund Revenue: This category is estimated to be approximately $18.3 million, reflecting a decrease of 7.8% from the FY 2025-26 estimate. The projected decrease is primarily due to a reduction in the safety allocation. Fines and Forfeitures: This category is estimated to be approximately $7.4 million, reflecting a decrease of 1.6% from the FY 2025-26 estimate.
The projected decrease is from decreased parking tickets offset by the implementation of the new Speed Safety Program.
Interest/Use of Money: This category is estimated to be approximately $4.8 million, reflecting an increase of 38.8% from the FY 2025-26 estimate. The projected increase is driven by a higher rate of return and growth in the principal balance.
Misc. & Non-Operating: This category is estimated to be approximately $1.2 million for FY 2026-27, reflecting a 7.1% increase compared to prior year.
The increase is primarily due to the elimination of the Nonprofit Subsidy Program. 264 of 745

Transfers from Other Funds: This category is estimated to be approximately $43.1 million for FY 2026-27, reflecting an increase of 3.6% compared to the prior year. This includes a decrease in the Electric Works Revenue fund transfer of $946 thousand, which returns to 10.0% of total electric operating revenues after a one-time increase to 10.8% in FY 2025-26, as well as a one-time decrease resulting from prior year’s one-time transfer back from the Capital Improvement Fund of $9.0 million from defunded projects dropping off. Additional transfers include a $4.0 million reimbursement from the Central Park project funding as the project has secured other funding sources; $2.4 million Transfer of Property revenue from the sale of an underutilized property to Glendale Water & Power; and a $5.0 million withdrawal from the Section 115 Pension Trust.

Change in Fund Balance
Based on Forecast $ (2,393,621)
The General Fund budget is forecasted to increase by approximately $25.4 million, or
7.2% compared to the Adopted FY 2025-26 budget. This increase is mainly attributable to the following:
Salaries & Benefits: Salaries and Benefits increased by $14.6 million, or 5.6% compared to the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget. This increase is primarily driven by cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) to salaries, normal step progressions, the addition of positions required for mandated or revenue-generating services, and higher Public Employee Retirement System (PERS) costs. It also reflects the addition of two Project Manager positions approved by City Council during budget study session 4 as part of the Pavement Management Program. The overall increase is partially offset by the defunding of five vacant positions, reductions in hourly wages, and lower benefit rates. In addition, the soft hiring freeze implemented in FY 2025-26 remains in effect. A total of 21 frozen positions remain defunded and may only be restored if new funding sources are 265 of 745

identified. PERS costs, budgeted at $67.9 million for FY 2026-27, continue to be the second-largest cost driver in this category. Both the Employer Normal Contribution Rate and the Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) are projected to rise until an anticipated peak between 2030 and 2033. To mitigate the impact of these increases, the City will begin withdrawing from the Section 115 Pension Trust in FY 2026-27 to offset a portion of the annual employer payment.
Maintenance & Operation: Maintenance and Operation increased by $3.4 million, or 3.8%, compared to the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget. The increase is primarily driven by operational needs, including a $1.4 million increase in the Fire Department for the Public Provider Ground Emergency Medical Transport (PP-GEMT) payments, which is fully offset by additional emergency medical response fee revenue. The Police Department also reflects $1.8 million increase for its in-car video system and body-worn cameras contract, which was previously budgeted in the Information Technology Department. In addition, Council approved a $1.0 million increase for the street trees planting and maintenance contract under Public Works. Other non-discretionary increases include a $918 thousand increase in the fleet equipment rental charge and a $1.6 million increase in the building maintenance service charge.
These increases are partially offset by reductions across various departments and the elimination of the Police Department’s contribution to the Joint Air Support Fund, consistent with the General Fund’s 3.0% cost-reduction target. Capital Outlay: Capital Outlay increased by $89 thousand due to a cyclical rise in the Fire Department equipment scheduled for replacement, including defibrillators and turnout gear in FY 2026-27.
Transfers Out to Other Funds: Transfers Out to Other Funds increased by $7.3 million compared to the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget. This increase is primarily due to the restoration of General Fund transfers to both the Capital Improvement Fund ($4.6 million) and the Fleet Management Fund for vehicle purchases ($2.7 million) after these transfers were suspended in FY 2025-26 as part of budget balancing strategies.

Projected Ending Fund Balance & Reserve Percentage, June 30, 2026 (In Millions)
Based on the FY 2026-27 proposed revenues and appropriations, and incorporating a budget utilization rate of 96.9%, the General Fund budget is projected to have a deficit of $2.4 million and a reserve of 36.9% of the FY 2026-27 proposed budget. The City Council’s current General Fund Reserve policy is a minimum of 25% of the annual operating budget, with a target of 35%.

OTHER FUNDS
Special Revenue Funds
The approximately $10.8 million increase in the Special Revenue Funds is primarily due to the following:
CDBG Fund 2010 – The decrease of approximately $44 thousand is mainly due to lower federal grant award revenue compared to the prior year, resulting in decreases in miscellaneous maintenance and operation costs. The increase in direct assistance to community agencies was partially offset by a reduction in City CIP projects.
Housing Assistance Fund 2020 – The net increase of approximately $232 thousand in this fund is due to multiple factors. There are increases of $2.5 million for the regular Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) vouchers, and $1.7 million for the portable HAP vouchers, due to a growing number of participants porting their vouchers from other public housing agencies to the Glendale Housing Authority. This is offset by a decrease of approximately $4.5 million in direct assistance due to the ending of the Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) program. Additionally, there were increases in personnel costs and contractual services.
Home Grant Fund 2030 – The net decrease of approximately $303 thousand is attributed to lower federal grant award, which resulted in a decrease in direct assistance. However, this budget does not include funding for the Tenant-Based 267 of 745
1011a

9 4
Rental Assistance Program, which has been proposed as an alternative for the sunsetting EHV program. Approval of this program is currently pending determination from the Department of Housing of Urban Development (HUD) and will use available fund balance that has not yet been appropriated. Once a final determination is received, staff will return to City Council to appropriate direct assistance funding for this program within the Home Grant Fund.
Continuum of Care Grant Fund 2040 – There is an increase of approximately $3.4 million in appropriation compared to the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget. This includes $2.9 million in direct assistance, and $443 thousand in program administration. In previous years, due to the timing of the award and the start date of programs not aligning with the start of the fiscal year, the grant was appropriated mid-year via Council Resolution, with funds carried over into the new fiscal year. Beginning FY 2026-27, however, the department applied for and received a no-cost extension that shifted all project start dates to July 1, aligning the grant cycle with the fiscal year and eliminating the need for mid-year appropriation via Council Resolution. The FY 2026-27 award reflects a slight increase over the prior award, primarily due to fair market rent adjustments. Emergency Solutions Grant Fund 2050 – The decrease of approximately $419 thousand is due to a one-time special allocation of emergency solutions grant funds received in the previous year.
Workforce Fund 2060 – The net decrease of approximately $3.8 million is primarily due to decreases in state and county funding allocations, as well as a decrease of $2.0 million of a one-time grant received in the prior year. This is reflected by decreases in hourly wages and direct assistance. Affordable Housing Trust Fund 2090 – The increase of approximately $8 thousand is in personnel costs.
Glendale Youth Alliance Fund 2110 – The net increase of approximately $52 thousand is attributable to higher personnel costs, partially offset by a salary charge-out resulting from staff charging out to a grant project that will carry over into FY 2026-27 and is budgeted in the Grant Fund.
BEGIN Homeownership Fund 2120 – The increase of $1 thousand is due to an increase in interest income applied towards direct assistance. Low & Mod Income Housing Asset Fund 2130 – The net increase of approximately $113 thousand is primarily due to increases in administration costs such as personnel costs and contractual services.
Grant Fund 2160 – The increase of approximately $128 thousand is due to an increase in grant revenue and increased project appropriation. 268 of 745
1111a

Hazardous Disposal Fund 2190 – The increase of approximately $232 thousand is primarily due to increases in personnel costs, cost allocation charge, contractual services, and training.
Measure M Local Return Fund 2220 – The decrease of approximately $570 thousand is due to a decrease in subsidy expense to the Transit Utility Fund, partially offset by an increase in contractual services. Measure H Fund 2240 – The increase of $300 thousand is due to increased estimated county Measure H sales tax revenue, applied towards direct assistance.
Measure W Fund 2260 – The net increase of approximately $3.0 million is primarily due to increases in capital projects, contractual services, and personnel costs. Project appropriation this year includes CIP to Capture & Treat Stormwater, and a new project for California Ave and Adjacent Storm Water Capture.
Measure A Homeless Services 2291 – The increase of approximately $467 thousand compared to the previous year is primarily due to the timing of appropriating the award as part of the adopted budget, instead of mid-year via Council Resolution. The full award amount is allocated towards direct assistance, with a small portion to be used for associated administration costs. Air Quality Improvement Fund 2510 – The decrease of approximately $944 thousand is primarily due to a decrease in fleet capital outlay. San Fernando Landscape District Fund 2530 – The decrease of $800 is in contractual services.
Measure R Local Return Fund 2540 – The increase of approximately $1.1 million is primarily due higher contractual service costs for the School Crossing Guard program, which shifted from the General Fund as part of Public Works’ 3% cost- reduction target, as well as an increase in fleet capital outlay. Measure R Regional Return Fund 2550 – The increase of approximately $8.3 million is due to increased project appropriation for transportation related projects and personnel charges. Project appropriation in this fund includes HSIP Cycle 11 Local Match, Doran/Broadway-Brazil Grade Separation Project, HSIP Cycle 12 Local Match, Citywide Multi-Modal Equipment Modifications, and Safe Routes to School – Phase 6.
Transit Prop A Local Return Fund 2560 – The decrease of approximately $1.1 million is due to no new project appropriation for FY 2026-27. Transit Prop C Local Return Fund 2570 – The decrease of approximately $1.2 million is due to no new project appropriation for FY 2026-27. 269 of 745

Transit Utility Fund 2580 – The increase of approximately $240 thousand is primarily due to increased personnel costs, contractual services, and new project appropriation.
Asset Forfeiture Fund 2600 – The decrease of $250 thousand is primarily driven by a lower available fund balance. This reduction in resources results in decreases in contractual services and capital outlay, partially offset by an increase in furniture and equipment.
Police Fund 2610 – The net increase of approximately $871 thousand is due to higher settlement revenue, primarily budgeted towards overtime and miscellaneous maintenance and operation costs.
Supplemental Law Enforcement Fund 2620 – The increase of approximately $23 thousand is due to higher projected revenue used towards personnel costs. Fire Grant Fund 2650 – There is a decrease of approximately $281 thousand in training and supplies due to a decrease in anticipated grant revenue compared to the previous year.
Fire Mutual Aid Fund 2660 – The decrease of approximately $1.1 million is due to less anticipated mutual aid being requested and provided for the coming year due to staff shortages.
Nutritional Meals Grant Fund 2700 – The increase of approximately $4 thousand is due to more projected revenue, with slight increases in personnel costs and fleet charges.
Library Fund 2750 – The net decrease of approximately $131 thousand is primarily due to a shifting of library programming costs that are not directly associated with any grant or special donation revenue from the Library Fund to the General Fund. The Library Fund will continue to fund personnel costs and supplies related to grants and donations, while all other Library programming will be supported by the General Fund.
Cable Access Fund 2800 – The increase of $135 thousand is due to an increase in furniture and equipment, capital outlay, and general supplies, reflecting investments in media production improvements, modernization of broadcasting systems, and compliance with SB 707 and ADA requirements Electric Public Benefit Fund 2910 – The net increase of approximately $2.4 million is primarily due to increases in public benefit programs for renewable energy, energy-water efficiency, and conservation programs. 270 of 745

Debt Service Funds
There is only one Debt Service Fund with appropriation for FY 2026-27: the Police Building 2019 Lease Revenue Refunding Bond (Fund 3031). The net increase of approximately $2 thousand is primarily due to higher principal payments, partially offset by a decrease in interest payments on the bonds.
Capital Projects Funds
The approximately $52.2 million increase in the Capital Projects funds is primarily due to the following:
General Fund Capital Improvement Fund 4010 – The net decrease of $8.4 million is primarily due to a one-time budgeted transfer of $9.0 million to the General Fund dropping off. New projects for the upcoming fiscal year include Urban Cooling Project, Cavanagh Improvements, GSB Upgrades, Scholl Canyon Ballfield Parking Lot Paving, 1000 S. Central Ave. Master Plan, Beaudry Blvd. and Glenoaks Blvd. Landscape Improvement Project, Maple Park Playground Perimeter Fence, Restroom Renovation Project Design, and Rubberized Fall Surface Replacements at Playgrounds.
The Central Park Block Project had existing appropriation from previous fiscal years within this fund. In FY 2025-26, the Community Services & Parks department applied for and was awarded grant funding for this project. This resulted in an excess of $4.0 million of existing appropriation, which will be released to the Capital Improvement Fund available fund balance, to be transferred back to the General Fund in FY 2026-27.
State Gas Tax Fund 4020 – The decrease of $600 thousand is a result of less project appropriation. The projects with new appropriation for FY 2026-27 in this fund are As Needed Engineering Services, Street Tree Maintenance, Capital Improvement Project Support, and On Call Fiber Optic Services. Landfill Postclosure Fund 4030 – The increase of $60.0 million is in the transfers category and reflects the planned transfer to the General Fund, and subsequently to the Section 115 Trust Fund.
Library Mitigation Fee Fund 4070 – The decrease in appropriation of $100 thousand is due to less projected revenue and is budgeted as capital outlay allocated towards books.
SF Corridor Tax Share Fund 4100 – The increase of $1.1 million is for the Faircourt Lane Improvements project.

Measure A Fund 4130 – The increase of $200 thousand is due to new appropriation for the 1000 S. Central Ave. Master Plan project.
Enterprise Funds
The approximately $23.1 million net decrease in the Enterprise Funds is primarily due to the following:
Sewer Fund 5250 – The net decrease of approximately $26.7 million is primarily due to a decrease in capital projects. The two main capital projects in this fund are Hyperion Wastewater System and the Los Angeles/Glendale Water Reclamation Plant (LAGWRP) projects. Public Works is actively working with the City of Los Angeles to determine the cost for the next phase of the projects and will return to City Council with appropriation requests once the costs are determined. Other projects with new appropriation this year include On-Call Sewer and Storm Drain Repair Services, Sewer Reconstruction Program, Wastewater Capacity Improvement, and new project Gas Monitoring System at Doran Lift.
Refuse Disposal Fund 5300 – The net decrease of approximately $4.1 million is primarily driven by decreases in fleet capital outlay, capital projects, and contractual services. Additionally, depreciation is treated as a non-budgetary item starting in FY 2026-27 since it is a non-cash expense.
Fiber Optic Fund 5400 – The decrease of approximately $633 thousand is primarily due to decreased personnel costs resulting from a vacancy, as well as decreases in hourly wages and contractual services.
Verdugo Fire Communication Fund 5800 – The net decrease of approximately $2.0 million is primarily due to less capital outlay due to one-time purchases the prior year. Additionally, depreciation is treated as a non-budgetary item starting in FY 2026-27 since it is a non-cash expense.
Electric Utility Funds 5820, 5830, 5850 & 5880 – The net decrease of approximately $3.5 million is mainly due to decreases in capital project appropriation, contractual services, purchased power, and fuel natural gas.
These were slightly offset by an increase in transfers out, related to the transfer of property at 805 Fairmont, as well as an increase in capital outlay. A portion of the Office of Sustainability shifted to the Electric Works Revenue Fund from Management Services, which resulted in a slight increase in personnel costs, which was offset by decreases in hourly wages and overtime. Some of the major CIP projects include GWP City Owned Solar Program Phase II, GWP Admin Remodeling, Acacio/Tropico Substation Upgrade, 4kV to 12kV Feeder Upgrade Program, and AMI Electric Meter Upgrade Program.

Water Utility Funds 5920, 5930, 5950 & 5980 – The increase of approximately $13.9 million is primarily due to an increase in capital projects appropriation, including Water AMI Endpoint Replacement, WS Pipeline Replacement Project, and WS Valve Replacement Program. These increases were offset by decreases in contractual services, hourly wages, and safety allocation charge. A portion of the Office of Sustainability shifted to the Water Works Revenue Fund from Management Services, resulting in a slight increase in personnel costs.
Internal Service Funds
The approximately $18.1 million net decrease in the Internal Service Funds is primarily due to the following:
Fleet Management Fund 6010 – The net decrease of approximately $4.0 million is primarily due to a decrease in fleet capital outlay and the removal of depreciation from the budget, as depreciation will be treated as a non-budgetary, non-cash expense beginning FY 2026-27.
Joint Air Support Fund 6020 – The decrease of approximately $169 thousand is due to decreases in furniture and equipment, utilities costs, training, and travel.
Additionally, depreciation is no longer budgeted as of FY 2026-27. These decreases were slightly offset by an increase in vehicle maintenance costs. ITD Infrastructure Fund 6030 – The net decrease of approximately $4.6 million is primarily due to decreases in capital outlay, contractual services, computer hardware, personnel costs, and rent. Additionally, depreciation is no longer included in the budget.
ITD Applications Fund 6040 – The net decrease of approximately $3.9 million is primarily due to decreases in hourly wages, contractual services, and rent.
Additionally, depreciation is no longer included in the budget. These decreases were slightly offset by increases in personnel costs.
Building Maintenance Fund 6070 – The net decrease of approximately $2.1 million is primarily due to less project appropriation and less capital outlay.
This was slightly offset by an increase in personnel costs, general supplies, and repairs to building and grounds. New project appropriation includes UPS Replacements & Repairs, Paint Police Building, Exchange Parking Structure Mezzanine Roof Resurfacing, and Corporation Yard and Integrated Waste Locker Room Renovation.
Unemployment Insurance Fund 6100 – The increase of approximately $22 thousand is due to an increase in claims.
Liability Insurance Fund 6120 – The net decrease of approximately $346 thousand is primarily due to decreases in legal consultation fees, excess 273 of 745

insurance premiums, and ITD service charge, slightly offset by an increase in claims. Compensation Insurance Fund 6140 – The net decrease of approximately $348 thousand is primarily due to lower claim payments and excess insurance premium, offset by increases in personnel costs and contractual services. Dental Insurance Fund 6150 – The decrease of approximately $25 thousand is due to decreases in claims and premiums.
Medical Insurance Fund 6160 – The increase of approximately $826 thousand is due to increases in premiums and claims.

RHSP Benefits Fund 6410 – The increase of approximately $128 thousand is primarily due to an increase in separation payouts.
Post-Employment Benefits Fund 6420 – The decrease of approximately $62 thousand is due to decreases in retiree Medicare Part A reimbursement, medical benefits for survivors of deceased employees, and PERS replacement benefit.
Wireless Fund 6600 – The decrease of approximately $3.2 million is primarily due to decreases in capital outlay, personnel costs, and ITD service charge.
Additionally, depreciation is no longer included in the budget.
AUTHORIZED FULL-TIME SALARIED POSITIONS
For FY 2026-27, there are no proposed changes to the authorized full-time salaried position count. Position increases within departments were managed by reallocating from the pool of defunded vacant positions rather than increasing the overall authorized count. The following table provides a summary of the authorized full-time salaried position count for FY 2025-26 and proposed FY 2026-27.

PROPOSED FEES CHANGES
The FY 2026-27 Proposed Citywide Fee Schedule lists 2,042 fees administered by the City. In an ongoing effort to streamline processes, while providing the most up-to-date information, staff wished to pilot an annual partial fee study instead of a comprehensive citywide fee study every 5 to 7 years. Library, Arts & Culture and Community Development were two departments that participated in this pilot program conducted by Matrix Consulting Group. The purpose of the study was to revisit the cost rollups used in the various fee calculations, staff time estimates and assumptions, and to account for any major shifts in costs or organizational structures that have occurred since the City’s previous citywide fee study (completed in 2024).
Fees are commonly adopted by public agencies to recover costs associated with the provision of specific services benefiting the user, thereby reducing the use of General Fund (and other funds) resources for such purposes. Actual costs to provide services include the direct cost of labor to process and perform each service, as well as associated support costs (indirect costs). Indirect costs include departmental and central service overhead costs. The City may charge fees, up to the full cost recovery, provided that those fees do not exceed the maximum limits as may be established under state law.
In addition to the fee study, we also received requests from Glendale Water & Power, Fire, and Police (which were not part of the pilot fee study) for fee increases to full cost recovery or to create new fees for existing or new services.
The FY 2026-27 Proposed Citywide Fee Schedule includes parking rate increases which were part of the implementation of new revenue initiatives. The rate increases impact downtown on/off street rates as well as parking garages.
Subsequent to the fee presentation during budget study session 3, Community Development updated the Building and Safety fee for EV charging stations based on State Assembly Bill 1820. This regulatory requirement resulted in a modification to one fee and the addition of five new fees for existing services (Section 1: Building and Safety Fees #208-#213).
Subsequent to the fee presentation during budget study session 3, Community Development proposed modification of Administrative Citations (150 fee increases) and added additional Glendale Municipal Code and Building Code violations to Administrative Citation citable offenses (24 new fees (fines) for existing services (violations of the Code)). The proposed changes are requested to appropriately dissuade violations of the Glendale Municipal Code and Building Code including unpermitted work, unlicensed operations, and unkept properties. 275 of 745

Glendale’s Code Enforcement team maintains the standards of the Glendale Municipal Code for the entire City. Inspectors seek compliance with property owners generally through conversations, a warning notice, Notice of Violation, and when necessary, citations. If three citations do not result in compliance, inspectors refer the case to the City Attorney for prosecution. As the citation amounts were set over a decade ago, the fine does not financially reflect the severity or seriousness of the violation to encourage compliance. It is recommended these fines are increased, and several new ones added so inspectors can cite for those violations as well.
Section 53069.4 of the California Government Code authorizes a local agency to utilize civil penalties or administrative citations as a means of enforcing municipal code provisions. Cities use administrative code enforcement remedies as an alternative or as a complement to civil actions or criminal prosecution of municipal code violations.
The Code Enforcement process includes a warning, followed by a Notice of Violation with a compliance deadline. An extension is granted when the circumstances allow for it, and the property or business owner has demonstrated good faith toward working to a resolution. However, if progress is not met by the compliance deadline, having meaningful citations which match the severity of the violation is critical in gaining compliance. Staff will issue three citations, escalating in the amount of the fine until compliance is met. If the property or business owner continues to refuse to come into compliance, the case will be sent to the City Attorney’s office for prosecution.
Staff believes that this administrative code enforcement system is a preferable alternative to criminal prosecution in many cases because the process is speedy and efficient; it is oriented towards obtaining compliance; moreover, it conserves public resources. Once a property owner has been put on notice of a required violation compliance deadline and it is not met, the citation process consists of a code enforcement officer issuing a citation to a property owner or other responsible party, and the property owner or responsible party either paying the fine or contesting the citation. If the citation is contested, a hearing is held and the citation is either confirmed or rescinded. Prior to the hearing, it is required that the fine is remitted in advance. The decision of the independent third-party hearing officer upholding the citation is subject to judicial review.
The amount of the fine for the particular violation is set forth in the schedule of fines established by City Council resolution. Fines are currently in a three-tier system of fine amounts whereby each tier contains a group of code violations grouped by severity and seriousness, and each with its own progressive fine amounts.
Generally, violations for which the third-tier fines apply are those that involve immediate threats to life/safety and/or have a significant impact on the community, such as unauthorized activity for which a permit is required, violation of a stop work order, or unauthorized entry after posting of a "yellow'' or "red tag" mandating vacation of a building due to safety concerns.

Second-tier fines are for those violations that are also life/safety concerns but of a slightly lower order of seriousness than the third-tier fine violations such as structural hazards and hazardous plumbing, electrical or mechanical equipment.
The first-tier fines are for those violations that are not immediate life/safety threats but nevertheless impact the community (littering, landscaping, smoking, signs). Payment of all fines is required within thirty (30) days from the date of the citation.
Currently, third-tier fines are: $400 for the first violation, $1,000 for the second same violation within one year of the citation for the first violation, and $2,000 for the third same violation within one year of the citation for the first violation. The second-tier fines are: $200, $400, $1000; first-tier fines are: $100, $200, $500.
It is recommended that the tier structure be modified as: Third-tier violations: $1000, $2000, $4000. Second-tier violations: $750, $1500, $3000. First-tier violations: $500, $1000, $2000, with the exception of violations that are infractions under the Code, which will remain at the current amount. Pursuant to Government Code Section 53069.4(a)(1), the maximum fine for a violation of any local ordinance that would otherwise be an infraction cannot exceed the maximum limits set forth in Government Code 36900(b), which for most infractions is capped at $100 for a first violation, $200 for a second violation of the same Code section within one year, and $500 for each additional violation of the same Code section within one year.
Current Amounts Proposed Amounts
1st Violation 2nd Violation 3rd Violation 1st Violation 2nd Violation 3rd Violation 1st Tier $100 $200 $500 $500 $1,000 $2,000
2nd Tier $200 $400 $1,000 $750 $1,500 $3,000
3rd Tier $400 $1,000 $2,000 $1,000 $2,000 $4,000
As with all Glendale enforcement programs, the City’s goal is compliance with codes, and not punitive actions against the violator. The administrative citation program, as presented, is intended to achieve this. Unfortunately, Code Enforcement is often met with repeat violators, and/or those who believe the cost of compliance is more effort than paying for the citation or repeat citations, so they choose not to come into compliance. If the citations were more impactful in encouraging compliance and dissuading remaining in violation, it is more likely a resolution will be reached after the first citation, saving staff resources, but also ensuring greater compliance throughout the City. Those who come into compliance in a timely manner, will not receive a citation as citations are only issued when a property owner chooses not to come into compliance within the set deadline.
