City of Glendora True North Research, Inc. © 2022 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1
I NTRODUCTION
Known as the “Pride of the Foothills”, the City of Glendora was founded in 1887 and incorporated in 1911. Since then, Glendora has evolved from a small agricultural city to a thriving city of approximately 51,800 residents1 who are focused on supporting a charming, vibrant, and inclusive community. The City maintains a team of full- and part-time employees to provide a comprehensive suite of services through 11 main departments: City Council, City Attorney, City Manager, City Clerk, Administrative Services, Police, Community Development, Public Works, Library, Information Technology, and Community Services.
To monitor its progress in meeting residents’ needs, the City of Glendora engages residents on a daily basis and receives periodic subjective feedback regarding its performance. Although these informal feedback mechanisms are a valuable source of information for the City in that they provide timely and accurate information about the opinions of specific residents, it is important to recognize that they do not necessarily provide an accurate picture of the community as a whole.
For the most part, informal feedback mechanisms rely on the resident to initiate feedback, which creates a self-selection bias—the City receives feedback only from those residents who are motivated enough to initiate the feedback process. Because these residents tend to be either very pleased or very displeased with the service they received, their collective opinions are not necessarily representative of the City’s resident population as a whole.
PURPOSE OF STUDY The motivation for the current study was to design and employ a methodology that would avoid the self-selection bias noted above and thereby provide the City with a statistically reliable understanding of its residents’ satisfaction, priorities, and concerns as they relate to services provided by the City. Ultimately, the survey results and analyses presented in this report provide City Council and staff with information that can be used to make sound, strategic decisions in a variety of areas including service improvements and enhancements, measuring and tracking internal performance, budgeting, policy, planning, and community engagement.
To assist in this effort, the City selected True North Research to design the research plan and conduct the study. Broadly defined, the study was designed to:
• Identify key issues of concern for residents, as well as their perceptions of the City; • Measure residents’ overall satisfaction with the City’s efforts to provide municipal services, and their satisfaction with a variety of specific services; • Evaluate perceptions of, and experiences with, local government; • Determine satisfaction with the City’s communication with residents, as well as the opportunities residents have to communicate with the City; • Gather opinions on topics such as communication preferences, land use, spending priorities, drought, and water conservation; and • Collect additional background and demographic data relevant to understanding residents’ perceptions, needs, and interests.

Introduction
City of Glendora True North Research, Inc. © 2022 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 This is not the first statistically reliable community survey conducted for the City of Glendora.
Similar studies were conducted by True North in 2011, 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2019, and many of the questions included in the 2022 survey were purposely drawn from these prior studies.
Because of the interest in tracking the City’s performance over time, where appropriate the results of the current study are compared with the results of identical questions asked in the prior studies.
OVERVIEW OF METHODOLOGY A full description of the methodology used for this study is included later in this report (see Methodology on page 47). In brief, the survey was administered to a random sample of 571 adults who reside within the City of Glendora. The survey followed a mixed-method design that employed multiple recruiting methods (telephone, text, and email) and multiple data collection methods (telephone and online). Administered between July 26 and July 31, 2022, the average interview lasted 17 minutes.
STATISTICAL SIGNIFICANCE As discussed above, many of the figures and tables in this report present the results of questions asked in 2022 alongside the results found in the prior surveys for identical questions. In such cases, True North conducted the appropriate tests of statistical significance to identify changes that likely reflect actual changes in public opinion from the last survey to the current survey—as opposed to being due to chance associated with independently selected samples. Differences between the two studies are identified as statistically significant if we can be 95% confident that the differences reflect an actual change in public opinion between the two studies. Statistically significant differences within response categories over time are denoted by the † symbol which appears in the figure next to the appropriate response value for 2022.
ORGANIZATION OF REPORT This report is designed to meet the needs of readers who prefer a summary of the findings as well as those who are interested in the details of the results.
For those who seek an overview of the findings, the sections titled Just the Facts and Conclusions are for you. They provide a summary of the most important factual findings of the survey in bullet-point format and a discussion of their implications. For the interested reader, this section is followed by a more detailed question-by-question discussion of the results from the survey by topic area (see Table of Contents), as well as a description of the methodology employed for collecting and analyzing the data. And, for the truly ambitious reader, the questionnaire used for the interviews is contained at the back of this report, and a complete set of crosstabulations for the survey results is contained in Appendix A.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS True North thanks the City of Glendora for the opportunity to conduct the study and for contributing valuable input during the design stage of this study. The collective experience, insight, and local knowledge provided by city representatives and staff improved the overall quality of the research presented here.
DISCLAIMER The statements and conclusions in this report are those of the authors (Dr. Timothy McLarney and Richard Sarles) at True North Research, Inc. and not necessarily those of the City of Glendora. Any errors and omissions are the responsibility of the authors.

J UST THE F ACTS
The following is an outline of the main factual findings from the survey. For the reader’s convenience, we have organized the findings according to the section titles used in the body of this report. Thus, if you would like to learn more about a particular finding, simply turn to the appropriate report section.
QUALITY OF LIFE
• Glendora residents provided the most positive ratings for the overall quality of life in the City (87% excellent or good) and Glendora as a place to raise a family (84%). Although still positive, residents provided a softer rating for Glendora as a place to retire (61%). • Approximately half (49%) of residents surveyed provided an excellent or good rating for Glendora as a place to shop and dine, while one-third (34%) rated this aspect as fair. Less than half (45%) of residents provided a positive rating for Glendora as a place to work, although just over one-quarter (28%) held no opinion and did not provide a rating. • When residents were asked to indicate the one thing city government could change to make Glendora a better place to live, now and in the future, 18% could not think of any desired changes (13%) or reported that no changes are needed (5%). Among specific changes desired, addressing homeless issues/poverty was mentioned most frequently (22%), followed by improving dining and shopping opportunities (13%), improving public safety and police services (10%), limiting growth and development and preserving Glendora’s smalltown feel (7%), improving streets, roads, and infrastructure (7%), and beautifying the City and its landscaping (5%).
CITY SERVICES
• Eight-in-ten (80% of) Glendora residents indicated they were either very (30%) or somewhat (50%) satisfied with the City’s efforts to provide municipal services. Approximately 13% were very or somewhat dissatisfied, and the remaining 7% were unsure or did not provide a response.
• When asked to rate their satisfaction with 16 specific services provided by the City of Glendora, respondents were most satisfied with the City’s efforts to provide library services (97% very or somewhat satisfied), followed by efforts to provide programs for youth, adults, and seniors (90%), provide police services (89%), provide online access to city services, information, and resources (88%), provide trash collection and recycling services (86%), and maintain parks and recreation areas (84%). • At the other end of the spectrum, respondents were less satisfied with the City’s performance in addressing homelessness (36%), maintaining streets and roads (63%), and managing growth and development (65%).
LAND USE
• More than half of residents indicated that there are currently not enough fine dining restaurants (57% too little) and affordable housing for middle-income families (53%).

C ONCLUSIONS
As noted in the Introduction, this study was designed to provide the City of Glendora with a statistically reliable understanding of its residents’ opinions, satisfaction, and priorities as they relate to services provided by the City. As such, the findings of this study can provide the City with information needed to make sound, strategic decisions in a variety of areas, including service improvements and enhancements, measuring and tracking internal performance, budgeting, and planning. Whereas subsequent sections of this report are devoted to conveying detailed results of the survey, in this section we attempt to ‘see the forest through the trees’ and note how the results of the survey answer some of the key questions that motivated the research. The following conclusions are based on True North’s interpretations of the results, as well as the firm’s experience conducting similar studies for government agencies throughout the State.
How well is the City performing in meeting the
needs of Glendora residents?
The two years leading up to the 2022 Community Opinion Survey were punctuated by difficult and dramatic events in Glendora. The coronavirus pandemic that arrived in early 2020 has taken lives, threatened livelihoods, and forced dramatic changes in the way residents live, work, socialize, and play. Non-essential businesses were shuttered for weeks or months at a time to curb the spread of COVID-19, and the City’s operations were also adjusted to protect public health and adhere to State and County guidelines. Services that could be effectively moved to an online format were able to continue in that form, whereas other programs and services were modified, curtailed, or canceled to protect the safety of the public and city employees. Many city facilities were also closed periodically to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including City Hall.
Of course, the pandemic was not the only challenge during this period.
The killing of George Floyd in May 2020 during an arrest in Minneapolis sparked outrage, prompted thousands of protests across the nation, and prompted a national discussion about structural racism and calls for social justice reforms. On the economic front, inflation reached a 40-year high earlier this year, supply chain issues persist, and both the cost of housing and the cost of borrowing for a mortgage trended upward. Environmental factors have also conspired to make this a difficult period, as severe drought, heat waves, and wild fires impact many aspects of our lives, such as the cost of utilities, the availability and cost of home insurance, and the quality of the air we breathe.
Against this turbulent backdrop, it isn’t surprising that residents’ opinions about the City’s performance in providing municipal services dipped from pre-pandemic levels. What is surprising is how modest the magnitude of change in opinions was considering the challenging circumstances and that the City had to reinvent how it provides many services during this period. Overall, eight-in-ten respondents (80%) indicated that they were satisfied with the City’s efforts to provide municipal services, down just 5% from the level recorded in 2018. Additionally, satisfaction Item #5. Page 14

Conclusions
City of Glendora True North Research, Inc. © 2022 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 was widespread among Glendora subgroups, ranging from a low of 74% to a high of 88% (see Overall Satisfaction on page 15).
The high level of satisfaction expressed with the City’s performance in general was also mirrored in residents’ assessments of the City’s performance in providing most specific services, with the highest satisfaction scores assigned to the City’s efforts to provide library services, provide programs for youth, adults, and seniors, provide police services, provide online access to city services, information, and resources, provide trash collection and recycling services, and maintain parks and recreation areas. Although satisfaction with efforts to maintain parks and recreation areas was strong, the level recorded was statistically lower than 2018 (-8%). However, the study did find a statistically significant increase in resident satisfaction with the City’s efforts to manage growth and development (+11%) during that same time period (see Specific Services on page 17).
The City’s strong performance providing municipal services has also contributed to a high quality of life for residents. Close to nine-in-ten residents (87%) surveyed in 2022 provided excellent or good ratings for the overall quality of life in the City, which was comparable to the most recent surveys conducted prior to the pandemic (2019: 87%, 2018: 89%).
This sentiment was widespread, with at least seven-in-ten respondents within all identified demographic subgroups rating the quality of life in Glendora as excellent or good (see Overall Quality of Life on page 11).
How is the City perceived with respect to
governance?
Although much of the survey focused on residents’ satisfaction with the City’s efforts to provide specific services, as with other progressive cities Glendora recognizes there is more to good local governance than simply providing satisfactory services. Do residents perceive that the City is accessible and responsive to residents’ needs? Do residents feel that staff serves their needs in a professional manner? How well do residents trust the City, and do they view the City as fiscally responsible? Answers to questions like these are as important as service or policy-related questions in measuring the City’s performance in meeting residents’ needs.
Ratings for City of Glendora staff were extremely positive. Among those who had interacted with staff during the 12 months prior to the survey, approximately nine-in-ten rated staff as professional (97%), accessible (95%), and helpful (89%)—which were each consistent with pre-pandemic levels. Regarding perceptions of local government, the City was rated highest with regard to resident trust (79% of those with an opinion agreed with the statement ‘I trust the City of Glendora’), managing its finances (77%), and being responsive to residents’ needs (69%). Moreover, there were statistically significant increases in agreement for The City manages its finances well (+11%) and The City is transparent in how Item #5. Page 15

Conclusions
City of Glendora True North Research, Inc. © 2022 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 it operates (+8%) from 2018 to 2022 (see Public Trust & Service on page 26).
Where should the City
focus its efforts in the
future?
In addition to measuring the City’s current performance, a primary goal of this study is to look forward and identify opportunities to adjust services and/or refine communications strategies to best meet the community’s evolving needs and expectations. Although residents are generally satisfied with the City’s performance, there is always room for improvement. Below we note some of the areas that present the best opportunities in this respect.
Considering respondents’ verbatim answers regarding what city government could do to make Glendora a better place to live (see Ways to Improve Quality of Life on page 13), specific service ratings among satisfied and dissatisfied residents (see Differentiators of Opinion on page 18), and the manner in which residents prioritize potential funding areas for community facilities and amenities (see Community Facilities on page 23), the themes of addressing homeless issues, maintaining streets and roads, managing growth and development, operating in an environmentally-friendly and sustainable way, promoting economic development for a healthy business community, and funding trails and paths for walking and biking stood out as key areas of opportunity and interest for Glendora residents.
With the recommendation that the City focus on these areas, it is equally important to stress that when it comes to improving satisfaction in service areas, the appropriate strategy is often a combination of better communication and actual service improvements. It may be, for example, that many residents are simply not aware of the City’s ongoing infrastructure improvement efforts, or the limits of what a city can do to address homelessness. Choosing the appropriate balance of actual service improvements and efforts to raise awareness on these matters will be a key to maintaining and improving the community’s overall satisfaction in the short- and long-term.
It is also important to keep in mind that although these areas represent opportunities to improve resident satisfaction, the City should not oversteer. Indeed, the main takeaway from this study is that the City does many things very well, and emphasis should be on continuing to perform at that high level. The vast majority of residents are pleased with the City’s efforts to provide services and programs, and have a favorable opinion of the City’s performance in most areas. The top priority for the City should thus be to do what it takes to maintain the high quality of services that it currently provides.

Conclusions
City of Glendora True North Research, Inc. © 2022 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 How well is the City communicating with Glendora residents, and what are some of the
main challenges?
The importance of city communication with residents cannot be overstated. Much of a city’s success is shaped by the quality of information that is exchanged in both directions, from the City to the community and from the community to the City. This study is just one example of Glendora’s efforts to enhance the information flow to the City to better understand the community’s concerns, perceptions, and needs. Some of Glendora’s many efforts to communicate with its residents include its newsletters, timely press releases, website, and various social media accounts.
Keeping up with the challenge of communicating with residents has been difficult for many public agencies over the past decade. As the number of information sources and channels available to the public have dramatically increased, so too has the diversity in where residents regularly turn for their information. Not only have entirely new channels arisen to become mainstream and nearly ubiquitous (e.g., social media), within these channels there exists a proliferation of alternative services. To add to the challenge, residents’ preferences for information sources are also dynamic, subject to change as new services are made available while others may fade in popularity, making thorough, effective communication a moving target for public agencies.
The present survey provides positive news with respect to city-resident communication. More than three-quarters (77%) of residents said they were satisfied with the City’s efforts to communicate through newsletters, the Internet, social media, and other means. Six-in-ten (61% of) respondents said they were satisfied with the opportunities they have to communicate information to the City. Although both of these metrics have trended downward since the questions were first asked in 2011 and 2014, respectively, this pattern is consistent with what we have seen in most other cities throughout the state. Notable, however, is that both of these metrics stayed consistent with their pre-pandemic levels. Even among the minority of residents displeased with the City’s overall performance in providing municipal services, almost half (48%) said they were satisfied with the City's communication efforts.
Looking forward, the 2022 survey does provide some guidance as to the most effective ways that the City can communicate with residents, as well as how preferred methods of communication may vary based on factors such as age, ethnicity, and satisfaction with the City’s performance (see Communication Preferences on page 33). It is important to recognize that the challenges associated with city-resident communication will continue to change (and may continue to grow) as secondary sources proliferate and technology changes. To stay ahead of the curve, Glendora, like other cities, should periodically conduct a careful review of its communications strategies and budget to ensure that both are evolving accordingly.

Q UALITY OF L IFE
The opening series of questions in the survey was designed to assess residents’ top of mind perceptions about the quality of life in Glendora, as well as what city government could do to improve the quality of life, now and in the future.
OVERALL QUALITY OF LIFE At the outset of the interview, respondents were asked to rate the City of Glendora on a number of key dimensions—including overall quality of life, as a place to raise a family, and as a place to work—using a five-point scale of excellent, good, fair, poor, or very poor. As shown in Figure 1 below, residents provided the most positive ratings for the overall quality of life in the City (87% excellent or good) and Glendora as a place to raise a family (84%). Although still positive, residents provided a softer rating for Glendora as a place to retire (61%).
Approximately half (49%) of residents surveyed provided an excellent or good rating for Glendora as a place to shop and dine, while one-third (34%) rated this aspect as fair. Less than half (45%) of residents provided a positive rating for Glendora as a place to work, although just over one-quarter (28%) held no opinion and did not provide a rating for this dimension.
Question 2 How would you rate: _____? Would you say it is excellent, good, fair, poor or very poor?
FIGURE 1 RATING GLENDORA
Figure 2 on the next page shows residents’ perceptions of the overall quality of life in Glendora by study year. Although quality of life ratings have slowly declined since the first survey was conducted in 2011, it is noteworthy that the 2022 results showed little change from those found in 2019 prior to the pandemic. In other words, despite all of the challenges and turmoil created by the pandemic, residents’ views of the quality of life in Glendora changed little during this period.

Tables 1 and 2 show how the ratings for each dimension tested in Question 2 varied among subgroups. The numbers shown in the table denote the percentage of respondents in each subgroup that rated a dimension as excellent or good, among those who offered an opinion.
Responses of Not sure and Prefer not to answer were removed for this analysis. Perceptions of the overall quality of life in Glendora were quite positive among all subgroups, with the highest ratings found among new residents (less than 5 years), those 65 years and older, and Caucasians. For Glendora as a place to raise a family, positive ratings were highest among residents 65 years and older and those whose household income was $75K to $99K or $150K to $199K.
Respondents 18 to 24 years of age or 65 and older had more favorable opinions of Glendora as a place to retire than those in between, while Asian-American respondents provided much lower than average ratings for Glendora as a place to work. Finally, it is worth noting that those in the lowest income category (<$50K) were the most likely to give a positive rating for Glendora as a place to shop and dine, whereas those in the highest income category ($200K+) were the least likely.

Question 3 was posed in an open-ended manner, allowing residents to mention any aspect or attribute that came to mind without being prompted by, or restricted to, a particular list of options. True North later reviewed the verbatim responses and grouped them into the categories shown in Figure 3 below.
Eighteen percent (18%) of respondents could not think of any desired changes (13%) or reported that no changes are needed (5%), both of which are indicative of a respondent who does not perceive any pressing issues or problems in the City. Among specific changes desired, addressing homeless issues/poverty was mentioned most frequently (22%), followed by improving dining and shopping opportunities (13%), improving public safety and police services (10%), limiting growth and development/preserving Glendora’s small-town feel (7%), improving streets, roads, and infrastructure (7%), and beautifying the City and its landscaping (5%). All other individual categories were mentioned by less than 5% of respondents.

C ITY S ERVICES
After measuring residents’ perceptions about the quality of life in Glendora and what they would like to see changed, the survey next turned to assessing their opinions about the City’s performance in providing municipal services.
OVERALL SATISFACTION The first question in this series asked respondents to indicate if, overall, they were satisfied or dissatisfied with the job the City of Glendora is doing to provide city services. Because this question does not reference a specific program, facility, or service and requested that the respondent consider the City’s performance in general, the findings of this question may be regarded as an overall performance rating for the City.
As shown in Figure 4, eight-in-ten Glendora residents (80%) indicated they were either very (30%) or somewhat (50%) satisfied with the City’s efforts to provide municipal services. Approximately 13% were very or somewhat dissatisfied, and the remaining 7% were unsure or did not provide a response. The percentage of respondents generally satisfied with the City’s overall performance in providing municipal services declined by 5% between 2018 and 2022, although there was a significant shift among those who reported being very satisfied. It is important to keep in mind, of course, that the 2022 survey was conducted more than two years into an ongoing pandemic that has had widespread impacts on the City’s operations, aggravated certain underlying issues including housing affordability and homelessness, and presented entirely new public health challenges.
Question 4 Next, I would like to ask a series of questions about services provided by the City of Glendora. Generally speaking, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the job the City of Glendora is doing to provide city services?

City of Glendora True North Research, Inc. © 2022 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 17 FIGURE 7 OVERALL SATISFACTION BY HOUSEHOLD INCOME & ETHNICITY SPECIFIC SERVICES Whereas Question 4 addressed the City’s overall performance, Question 5 asked respondents to rate their level of satisfaction with the City’s efforts to provide 16 specific services. The order of the items was randomized for each respondent to avoid a systematic position bias. Figure 8 on the next page sorts the list of services according to the percentage of respondents who indicated they were either very or somewhat satisfied with the City’s efforts to provide the service. For comparison purposes between the services, only respondents who provided an opinion (satisfied or dissatisfied) are included in the figure. Those who did not have an opinion were removed from this analysis. The percentage of respondents who provided an opinion (satisfied or dissatisfied) is presented in brackets beside the service label in the figure, while the bars represent the answers of those with an opinion.
At the top of the list, respondents were most satisfied with the City’s efforts to provide library services (97% very or somewhat satisfied), followed by efforts to provide programs for youth, adults, and seniors (90%), provide police services (89%), provide online access to city services, information, and resources (88%), provide trash collection and recycling services (86%), and maintain parks and recreation areas (84%). At the other end of the spectrum, respondents were less satisfied with the City’s performance in addressing homelessness (36%), maintaining streets and roads (63%), and managing growth and development (65%).
When compared with the 2018 survey results (see Table 5), two services tested in both studies experienced statistically significant changes in satisfaction. Specifically, there was an increase in resident satisfaction with the City’s efforts to manage growth and development (+11%) and a decline in efforts to maintain parks and recreation areas (-8%).

When compared with their counterparts, residents satisfied with the City’s overall performance in providing city services were also more likely to express satisfaction with the City’s efforts to provide each of the services tested in Question 5. That said, the greatest specific differentiators of opinion between satisfied and dissatisfied residents were found with respect to the City’s efforts to maintain streets and roads, manage growth and development, operate in an environmentally-friendly and sustainable way, and promote economic development for a healthy business community.
At the other end of the spectrum, there was much less difference between the two resident groups regarding their satisfaction with the City’s efforts to provide library services, provide for diversity and inclusion within city events, services, and policies, provide trash and recycling services, and provide cultural and performing arts.

L AND U SE
The survey next turned to assessing residents’ opinions related to housing, land use, and the types of businesses and community amenities available in Glendora. Respondents were presented with the items shown on the left of Figure 9 and asked—for each one—whether there is currently too much, about the right amount, or too little in Glendora.
Question 6 As I read the following list of items, please tell me whether you feel there is currently too much, about the right amount, or too little of this item in the City of Glendora.
FIGURE 9 AVAILABILITY OF HOUSING, BUSINESSES & AMENITIES IN CITY As expected, residents expressed quite different opinions depending on the type of housing, business, land use, or community amenity being considered. More than half of residents indicated that there are currently not enough fine dining restaurants (57% too little) and affordable housing for middle-income families (53%). More than one-third also perceived a deficiency in the amount of entertainment options such as movie houses, music, and arts (45%), public art (38%), affordable housing for low-income families (36%), designated areas for walking and biking (35%), and good-paying jobs and employment opportunities (35%) available in Glendora.
Although the most common response for the remaining items was that the current amount is about right, there was still a tendency to view too little rather than too much of a particular type of development among those who felt the balance was not right. Only one building type—commercial offices—had more respondents say there were too many (11%) than too few (6%) in Glendora.

It is often the case that residents’ desires for community facilities exceed a city’s financial resources. In such cases, a city must prioritize projects based on a variety of factors, including the preferences and needs of residents.
Question 7 was designed to provide the City of Glendora with a reliable measure of how residents as a whole prioritize a variety of projects and improvements to which the City could allocate resources in the future. The format of the question was straightforward: after informing respondents that the City does not have the financial resources to fund all facilities and amenities that may be desired by residents, respondents were asked whether each project shown in Figure 10 should be a high, medium, or low priority for future city spending—or if the City should not spend money on the project at all.
Question 7 The City of Glendora has the resources to provide some of the facilities and amenities desired by residents. However, because it can't fund every project, the City must set priorities. As I read each of the following items, please indicate whether you think the City should make the item a high priority, a medium priority, or a low priority for future city spending. If you feel the City should not spend any money on this item, just say so. Please keep in mind that not all of the items can be high priorities.
FIGURE 10 SPENDING PRIORITIES
The facilities and amenities are sorted in Figure 10 by the percentage of respondents who indicated that an item was a high or medium priority for future city spending. Among the items tested, trails and paths for walking and biking was assigned the highest priority (80% high or medium priority), followed by modern library facilities (69%), acquiring land to create additional parks and green spaces (68%), sports fields that can be used for multiple sports such as soccer, football, and rugby (65%), and community gardens for growing food (59%).

City of Glendora True North Research, Inc. © 2022 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 25 As a follow-up to Question 7, respondents were asked to suggest a community facility or amenity not previously mentioned that they considered a high priority for future city spending. Question 8 was asked in an open-ended manner, allowing respondents to mention any item that came to mind without being prompted by or restricted to a particular list of options. True North reviewed the verbatim responses and grouped them into the categories shown in Figure 11.
Approximately three-quarters (74%) of respondents couldn’t think of anything specific (61%) or declined to provide a response (13%). Among those who offered suggestions, responses were so varied that no single category collectively captured more than 3% of respondents. A community theater and event center, sports parks and courts, and improved access to parks, recreation facilities, and school fields were the top specific response categories at 3% each.
Question 8 Is there a community facility or amenity that I didn't mention that you think should be a high priority for future city spending?

P UBLIC T RUST & S ERVICE
Although much of the survey focused on quality of life and residents’ satisfaction with the City’s efforts to provide specific services, like other progressive cities Glendora recognizes there is more to good local governance than simply providing satisfactory services. Do residents perceive that the City is accessible and responsive to residents’ needs? Do residents feel that staff serves their needs in a professional manner? How well do residents trust the City, and do they view the City as fiscally responsible? Answers to questions like these are as important as service or policyrelated questions in measuring the City’s performance in meeting residents’ needs. Accordingly, they were the focus of the next section of the survey.
PERCEPTIONS OF CITY GOVERNMENT The first question in this series was designed to profile respondents’ perceptions of city government on a variety of dimensions, including fiscal responsibility and responsiveness. For each of the six statements shown on the left of Figure 12, respondents were asked if they agreed or disagreed with the statement, or if they had no opinion. The percentages shown are among those who provided an opinion.
More than three-quarters of residents said they trust the City of Glendora (79%) and agreed that the City manages its finances well (77%). Two-thirds agreed that the City is responsive to residents’ needs (69%) and that the City is transparent in how it operates (67%). Just under two-thirds (66%) of residents indicated that the City treats all residents the same regardless of color, age, income, or identity, with strong agreement at 31%—the highest of the six statements tested.
Respondents were less in agreement that the City listens to residents when making important decisions (59%). Table 16 on the next page displays the level of agreement with each statement for the current study and the 2018 study, and shows that there were statistically significant increases in agreement for two statements: The City manages its finances well (+11%) and The City is transparent in how it operates (+8%).
Question 9 Next, I'm going to read you a series of statements about the City of Glendora. For each, I'd like you to tell me whether you agree or disagree with the statement. Here is the (first/ next) one: _____. Do you agree or disagree, or do you not have an opinion? FIGURE 12 AGREEMENT WITH STATEMENTS ABOUT GLENDORA AMONG THOSE WITH OPINION

CITY STAFF Residents were next asked if they had been in contact with City of Glendora staff in the past 12 months. Figure 13 provides the findings of this question and shows that 40% of residents indicated they had contact with city staff in the 12 months prior to the interview, which is consistent with the percentage from each previous study. Figures 14 through 16 on the next page show how contact with city staff in the past 12 months differed by a variety of demographics. Compared with their subgroup counterparts, residents with a child in the household, those 35 to 54 years of age, respondents employed full-time, home-makers, and retirees, home owners, and residents with a household income of at least $100K were more likely to have been in contact with city staff in the past year.

Communication & E-Government
City of Glendora True North Research, Inc. © 2022 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30 C OMMUNICATION & E-G OVERNMENT The importance of communication between a city and its residents cannot be overstated. Much of a city’s success is shaped by the quality of information that is exchanged in both directions, from the City to its residents and vice-versa. This study is just one example of Glendora’s efforts to enhance the information flow to the City to better understand residents’ concerns, perceptions, and needs. Some of Glendora’s many efforts to communicate with its residents include its newsletters, emails, timely press releases, social media, and its website. In this section, we present the results of several communication-related questions.
SATISFACTION: CITY-RESIDENT COMMUNICATION Question 12 of the survey asked residents to report their satisfaction with the City's efforts to share information with its residents. Overall, 77% of respondents indicated they were satisfied with the City’s efforts to communicate with residents through newsletters, the Internet, social media, and other means.
The remaining respondents were either dissatisfied with the City’s efforts in this respect (17%) or unsure of their opinion (7%). Satisfaction remained statistically consistent from 2018 to 2022 (Figure 18).
Question 12 Overall, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the City's efforts to share information with you through newsletters, the Internet, social media, and other means? FIGURE 18 SATISFACTION WITH CITY-RESIDENT COMMUNICATION BY STUDY YEAR Figures 19 to 21 on the next page display how opinions about the City’s efforts to communicate with residents varied by demographic subgroups. Satisfaction with the City’s communication efforts was widespread, with at least 70% of respondents in all but one subgroup reporting that they were either very or somewhat satisfied. As might be expected, residents dissatisfied with the City’s overall performance in providing municipal services were the least satisfied with the City’s communication efforts.

City of Glendora True North Research, Inc. © 2022 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 32 SATISFACTION: RESIDENT-CITY COMMUNICATION Residents were next asked about their satisfaction with the opportunities they have to communicate information to the City of Glendora. As shown in Figure 22, 61% of respondents said they were satisfied with the opportunities they have to communicate with the City. The remaining respondents were either dissatisfied (18%) or did not provide an opinion (21%). Although satisfaction with City-resident communication has generally declined since 2014, there were no statistically significant changes between 2018 and 2022. For the interested reader, figures 23 through 25 display how responses to this question varied by demographic subgroups (among those with an opinion).
Question 13 Now let me ask about communication in the other direction. Overall, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the opportunities you have to communicate information to the City of Glendora?

The order of the items was randomized for each respondent to avoid a systematic position bias. Overall, respondents cited the City’s website as the most effective method (91% very or somewhat effective), followed by email and electronic newsletters (90%) and a smart phone app that would allow them to communicate with the City, report issues, and receive updates (84%). When compared with the other methods tested, respondents perceived the telephone (53%) and town-hall style meetings (71%) as less effective ways for the City to communicate with them.

City of Glendora True North Research, Inc. © 2022 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 34 Question 14 As I read the following ways that the City can communicate with residents, I'd like to know if you think they would be a very effective, somewhat effective, or not at all effective way for the City to communicate with you. FIGURE 26 EFFECTIVENESS OF COMMUNICATION EFFORTS Table 18 on the next page displays the percentage of respondents that considered each of the communication methods as very effective by study year. Although there were no statistically significant changes in the percentage very effective from 2018 to 2022, there were statistically significant increases in the percentage of residents who cited text messages (+9%), email and electronic newsletters (+5%), the City’s website (+5%), and direct mail (+5%) as somewhat or very effective ways for the City to communicate with them. TABLE 18 EFFECTIVENESS OF COMMUNICATION EFFORTS BY STUDY YEAR The next two tables display the percentage of respondents that perceived each proposed communication method as very effective by their overall satisfaction with the City’s performance, age, years in Glendora, presence of a child in the home, and ethnicity. To aid comparisons, the top three most effective methods cited by each subgroup are highlighted green.

INFO ON CURRENT AND PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS In response to interest expressed by residents in 2014, the City of Glendora began distributing additional information to residents regarding current and planned local development projects. Question 15 of the 2022 survey asked residents if they are generally satisfied or dissatisfied with the quality and quantity of information made available by the City on this topic. Overall, the majority (58%) of respondents indicated they were satisfied with the quantity and quality of development-related information made available by the City, whereas 28% indicated they were dissatisfied and 15% were unsure or unwilling to share their opinion. The percentages remained statistically consistent with the 2018 results for this question (see Figure 27 on the next page).
When compared with their respective counterparts, residents who have lived in Glendora 10 to 14 years, those without a child in the home, those generally satisfied with city-resident communication in both directions and the City’s overall performance providing municipal services, residents under 35 years of age, students and those between jobs, residents with a household income between $75K and $199K per year, those who described their ethnicity as mixed/other, and renters were the subgroups most likely to report being satisfied with the quality and quantity of development information made available by the City (see figures 28 to 30).

Drought & Conservation
City of Glendora True North Research, Inc. © 2022 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 40
D ROUGHT & C ONSERVATION
After several years of average and above-average rainfall, more than 97% of areas in California are once again in a severe drought, and 60% are classified as extreme drought by the National Drought Mitigation Center in coordination with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).2 The last section of the report presents the findings of questions related to drought awareness and water conservation.
DROUGHT Understanding that public recognition of the drought is a key step to taking actions to use water more efficiently, Question 17 simply asked respondents whether or not they think California is experiencing a drought. Overall, 87% of residents were aware that the state is currently experiencing a drought, whereas 5% did not think there is a drought and the remainder (8%) were either unsure or unwilling to share their opinion (Figure 35).
Question 17 Is California currently experiencing a drought - or are you not sure? FIGURE 35 CALIFORNIA EXPERIENCING A DROUGHT
Figures 36-38 show how awareness of the drought gripping California varied across resident subgroups. With the exception of residents who do not pay much attention to their households’ water use, at least eight-in-ten residents in every subgroup exhibited drought awareness.

City of Glendora True North Research, Inc. © 2022 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 42 ATTENTION PAID TO HOUSEHOLD WATER USE Respondents were next asked to rate how attentive they are to the amount of water their household uses. Overall, 63% of respondents reported that they are very attentive to their household’s water use, 28% somewhat attentive, and 5% slightly attentive. Another 3% of respondents confided they do not pay any attention to how much water their household uses and 1% were unsure or declined to state (Figure 39).
Question 18 In general, how much attention do you pay to the amount of water your household uses? Would you say you are very attentive, somewhat attentive, slightly attentive, or do you not pay attention to your water use?
FIGURE 39 ATTENTIVENESS TO HSLD WATER USE
Figures 40 to 42 show how attentiveness to
household water use varied by a host of demographic traits. Although most subgroups expressed a high level of attentiveness, it is
worth noting that respondents who indicated
that California is not experiencing a drought or
were unsure, those who described their ethnicity as mixed/other, and students were the most likely to confide that they do not pay any
attention to their households’ water use.

City of Glendora True North Research, Inc. © 2022 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 43 FIGURE 41 ATTENTIVENESS TO HSLD WATER USE BY AGE & EMPLOYMENT STATUS FIGURE 42 ATTENTIVENESS TO HSLD WATER USE BY HOUSEHOLD INCOME & ETHNICITY EFFORTS TO CONSERVE In terms of their current efforts to conserve water, 48% of respondents indicated that they are already doing everything they can and cannot do any more to conserve water, whereas 46% revealed that they can probably do a little bit more to conserve water and 5% confided they can probably do much more. The remainder of respondents (1%) preferred not to answer the question (Figure 43 on next page).
Figures 44-46 show respondents’ self assessment of how much more they could do to conserve water (among those who provided an opinion) by subgroups. Compared with their counterparts, respondents who were aware of the state drought, those who were not very attentive to their households’ water use, residents 18 to 24 years of age, and those who described their ethnicity as mixed/other were the most likely to indicate that they could do more to conserve water.

M ETHODOLOGY
The following section outlines the methodology used in the study, as well as the motivation for using certain techniques.
QUESTIONNAIRE DEVELOPMENT Dr. McLarney of True North Research worked closely with the City of Glendora to develop a questionnaire that covered the topics of interest and avoided many possible sources of systematic measurement error, including position-order effects, wording effects, response-category effects, scaling effects, and priming. Several questions included multiple individual items. Because asking items in a set order can lead to a systematic position bias in responses, the items were asked in a random order for each respondent.
Some of the questions asked in this study were presented only to a subset of respondents. For example, only respondents who had been in contact with city staff in the past 12 months (Question 10) were asked to rate aspects of staff’s performance (Question 11). The questionnaire included with this report (see Questionnaire & Toplines on page 50) identifies the skip patterns used during the interview to ensure that each respondent received the appropriate questions.
Many of the questions asked in the 2022 survey were tracked directly from prior surveys to allow the City to assess its performance reliably over time.
PROGRAMMING & PRE-TEST Prior to fielding the survey, the questionnaire was CATI (Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing) programmed to assist interviewers when conducting the telephone interviews. The CATI program automatically navigates the skip patterns, randomizes the appropriate question items, and alerts the interviewer to certain types of keypunching mistakes should they happen during the interview. The survey was also programmed into a passcode-protected online survey application to allow online participation for sampled residents. The integrity of the questionnaire was pre-tested internally by True North and by dialing into households in the City prior to formally beginning the survey.
SAMPLE, RECRUITING & DATA COLLECTION A comprehensive database of Glendora households was utilized for this study, ensuring that all households in Glendora had the opportunity to be selected to participate in the survey. Once selected at random, contact information was appended to each record including email addresses and telephone numbers for adult residents. Individuals were subsequently recruited to participate in the survey through multiple recruiting methods. Using a combination of email and text invitations, sampled residents were initially invited to participate in the survey online at a secure, passcode-protected website designed and hosted by True North. Each individual was assigned a unique passcode to ensure that only Glendora residents who received an invitation could access the online survey site, and that the survey could be completed only one time per passcode. An email reminder notice was also sent to encourage participation among those who had yet to take the survey. Following a period of online data collection, True North placed telephone calls to land lines and cell phone numbers of sampled residents that had yet to participate in the online survey or for whom only telephone contact information was available.
Telephone interviews averaged 17 minutes in length and were conducted during weekday evenings (5:30PM to 9PM) and on weekends (10AM to 5PM). It is standard practice not to call during the day on weekdays because most working adults are unavailable and thus calling during those Item #5. Page 54

Methodology
City of Glendora True North Research, Inc. © 2022 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 48 hours would bias the sample. A total of 571 completed surveys were gathered online and by telephone between July 26 and July 31, 2022.
MARGIN OF ERROR DUE TO SAMPLING The results of the survey can be used to estimate the opinions of all adult residents of the City. Because not every adult resident of the City participated in the survey, however, the results have what is known as a statistical margin of error due to sampling. The margin of error refers to the difference between what was found in the survey of 571 adult residents for a particular question and what would have been found if all of the estimated 39,372 adult residents3 had been interviewed.
Figure 47 provides a plot of the maximum margin of error in this study. The maximum margin of error for a dichotomous percentage result occurs when the answers are evenly split such that 50% provide one response and 50% provide the alternative response. For this survey, the maximum margin of error is ± 4.1% for questions answered by all 571 respondents.
FIGURE 47 MAXIMUM MARGIN OF ERROR
Within this report, figures and tables show how responses to certain questions varied by demographic characteristics such as length of residence and age of the respondent. Figure 47 is thus useful for understanding how the maximum margin of error for a percentage estimate will grow as the number of individuals asked a question (or in a particular subgroup) shrinks. Because the margin of error grows exponentially as the sample size decreases, the reader should use caution when generalizing and interpreting the results for small subgroups.
DATA PROCESSING & WEIGHTING Data processing consisted of checking the data for errors or inconsistencies, coding and recoding responses, categorizing verbatim responses, and

ROUNDING Numbers that end in 0.5 or higher are rounded up to the nearest whole number, whereas numbers that end in 0.4 or lower are rounded down to the nearest whole number.
These same rounding rules are also applied, when needed, to arrive at numbers that include a decimal place in constructing figures and tables. Occasionally, these rounding rules lead to small discrepancies in the first decimal place when comparing tables and charts for a given question.

There were no other written correspondence and/or requests to give public testimony; therefore, Mayor Davis closed the Public Hearing.
City Council discussion included an overview of the State mandated requirement for refuse collection; average cost increase for residents; response to testimony regarding size and maximum allowed bins per household; clarification that for the 157 locations where there may be difficulty in getting bins to the street, Athens will coordinate how to provide service to those residents; clarification that no loss of jobs occurred due to the change in service; process for bulky item and tree trimming pick up process; options to also receive bear cans/barrel upon request; previous public notices and meeting held to discuss the proposed service and rate changes; and Athens planned public outreach efforts to residents for roll out of new services.
There were no additional questions or comments; therefore, Mayor Davis closed the Public Hearing and requested the City Clerk tabulate any protests received and announce the results.
Deputy City Clerk/Records Manager Dominguez announced that a total of 51 protests were received, of which 47 were verified votes with 4 unverified. An assessed protest of .34% protest was received, which did not meet the required majority protest. The city has met each requirement of Proposition 218, and applicable laws associated with respect to the proposed assessment. Since no majority protest exists, staff requested a motion from the City Council to adopt the proposed refuse rate as they were noticed to all residential ratepayers by adopting City Council Resolution entitled, “A RESOLUTION
OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDORA TO APPROVE A RESIDENTIAL AND
COMMERCIAL WASTE SOLID WASTE REFUSE COLLECTION CHARGES AND NEW RATES FOR FOLLOWING PROPOSITION 218 NOTICED MAJORITY PROTEST HEARING.” A motion was made by David J. Fredendall, seconded by Gary Boyer, to 1. Adopt a City Council Resolution CC 2022-54 entitled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS DATE: OCTOBER 11, 2022
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DISTRICT(S): 3
SUBJECT: AWARD A CONTRACT AGREEMENT TO MACKONE DEVELOPMENT INC. FOR SECURITY DOOR REPLACEMENT PROJECT AT CITY OF GLENDORA – POLICE DEPARTMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $59,547.18 (STRATEGIC PLAN ITEM 46-IMCIF)
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:
1. Adopt a Categorical Exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15302(c) of the California Code of Regulations;
2. Award an agreement with Mackone Development Inc. to replace two security doors at Glendora Police Department in the amount of $59,547.18;
3. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the agreement with Mackone Development Inc., including minimal and/or non-substantive changes;
4. Authorize the Administrative Services Director to appropriate $11,161.90 using Fund 321–CIP Fund towards project budget; and
5. Authorize the Public Works Director to execute any necessary change orders in an amount not to exceed 10% of the original contract amount.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As a participating agency of the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing organization, the City of Glendora can utilize Sourcewell agreements under applicable State and Local regulations.
Mackone Development Inc. (MDI) currently holds a competitively bid indefinite-quantity construction (IQC) agreement for the CA- Region 8 – General Building with Sourcewell. Sourcewell contracts with Gordian to administer and facilitate the use of these types of agreements under what Sourcewell terms their ezIQC® program. The City pays no fees to and does not contract directly with Gordian as part of these liaison services.
Staff procured a proposal from MDI to replace security doors at the Police Station for a total amount of $59,547.18 (Attachment B). Staff recommends that City Council award a contract agreement to MDI in this amount (Attachment C), adopt a Categorical Exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the California Code of Regulations (Attachment A), and authorize identified staff to execute the agreement and any necessary change orders in an amount not to exceed 10% of the original contract amount.
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY / PREVIOUS ACTIONS
Per California Government Code §6502 regarding Joint Powers Agreements, “if authorized by their legislative or other governing bodies, two or more public agencies by agreement may jointly exercise any power common to the contracting parties, including, but not limited to, the authority to levy a fee, assessment, or tax, even though one or more of the contracting agencies may be located outside this state.”
Item #9. Page 1
Meeting Date: 10/11/2022 / Packet Page #: 105
Staff Report Page 2 of 3
Per Glendora Municipal Code (GMC) Section 2.40.050(4), “Purchases made at contract prices awarded by federal or state governments or by any political subdivision thereof or pursuant to a cooperative purchasing agreement” are exempt from GMC Sections 2.40.070 and 2.40.080 regarding informal purchasing and formal contract procedures, respectively.
As a participating agency of Sourcewell (Member ID#94382), Glendora can legally utilize Sourcewell agreements. MDI was awarded a competitively bid IQC agreement for the CA- Region 8- General Building with Sourcewell on January 28, 2022 (Attachment D), with an initial term of 1-yr, and 3 additional 1-yr term renewal options. The current contract is active through Feb 1, 2023. Sourcewell contracts with Gordian to administer and facilitate the use of these types of agreements under what Sourcewell terms their ezIQC® program. The City pays no fees to and does not contract directly with Gordian as part of these liaison services.
DISCUSSION
The security doors at the Police station are outdated and in need of updating. There are currently two security doors at the station, one at the front lobby area and the other at the rear of the station. The current doors do not provide the level of security that is required at the Police Station. The Police Department is most vulnerable in the areas that have direct public access. Installing a reasonable level of ballistic glass protection and hardening the infrastructure and doorways will give the station offices the time to react to get themselves out of harm way.
As a result, staff recommends having the two security doors replaced. After discussing the project with Gordian, they confirmed that it was a project suitable for the ezIQC® program and connected staff with MDI as the vendor to provide a proposal. Staff conducted site visits with representatives from both Gordian and MDI, reviewed the scope of necessary work, and discussed what they needed to include in their proposal.
MDI’s proposal of $59,547.18 includes the replacement of two security doors with bullet-resistant glass.
The glasses are tinted and 1-1/4” thick with ASTM 1233 Level V Ballistic Resistant, which is a level 3 bullet resistant that can withstand a minimum of three shots of 0.44 Magnum handgun rounds. The project also upgraded the door frame to a level 3 heavy-duty bullet-resistant aluminum tube frame. Their extremely high level of impact resistance also makes them an ideal solution for active threats, forced entry protection, blast damage mitigation, and storm damage mitigation.
Due to the nature of this project, the staff is respectfully requesting that a 10% ($5,954.72) of Contingency be added to the contract in the event that unforeseen conditions arise during construction.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this project was included in the Fiscal Year 2022-23 adopted budget in the CIP Fund 321.
Available funding for this project is $54,340.00, which is insufficient for this project. A budget appropriation from CIP Fund 321 is required for this project.

The Contractor shall adopt reasonable methods, including providing and maintaining storage facilities, during the life of the Agreement to furnish continuous protection to the work, and the equipment, materials, papers, documents, plans, studies and/or other components thereof to prevent losses or damages, and shall be responsible for all such damages, to persons or property, until acceptance of the work by City, except such losses or damages as caused by City’s own negligence.

Contractor warrants all work under the Agreement (which for purposes of this Section shall be deemed to include unauthorized work which has not been removed and any non-conforming materials incorporated into the work) to be of good quality and free from any defective or faulty material and workmanship. Contractor agrees that for a period of one year (or the period of time specified elsewhere in the Agreement or in any guarantee or warranty provided by any manufacturer or supplier of equipment or materials incorporated into the work, whichever is later) after the date of final acceptance, Contractor shall within ten (10) days after being notified in writing by the City of any defect in the work or non-conformance of the work to the Agreement, commence and prosecute with due diligence all work necessary to fulfill the terms of the warranty at its sole cost and expense.

Contractor shall perform such tests as the City may require to verify that any corrective actions, including, without limitation, redesign, repairs, and replacements comply with the requirements of the Agreement.

All warranties and guarantees of subcontractors, suppliers and manufacturers with respect to any portion of the work, whether express or implied, are deemed to be obtained by Contractor for the benefit of the City, regardless of whether or not such warranties and guarantees have been transferred or assigned to the City by separate agreement and Contractor agrees to enforce such warranties and guarantees, if necessary, on behalf of the City. In the event that Contractor fails to perform its obligations under this Section, or under any other warranty or guaranty under this Agreement, to the reasonable satisfaction of the City, the City shall have the right to correct and replace any defective or non-conforming work and any work damaged by such work or the replacement or correction thereof at Contractor's sole expense.

1.10 Additional Work and Change Orders.
(a) City shall have the right at any time during the performance of the services, without invalidating this Agreement, to order extra work beyond that specified in the Scope of Work or make changes by altering, adding to or deducting from said work. No such extra work may be undertaken unless a written change order is first given by the Contract Officer to the Contractor, incorporating therein any adjustment in (i) the Contract Sum, and/or (ii) the time to perform this Agreement, which said adjustments are subject to the written approval of the Contractor (“Change Order”). All Change Orders must be signed by the Contractor and Contract Officer prior to commencing the extra work thereunder.
(b) Any increase in compensation of up to ten percent (10%) of the Contract Sum or $25,000, whichever is less; or any increase in the time to perform of up to one hundred eighty (180) days; and does not materially affect the Work and which are not detrimental to the Work or to the interest of the City, may be approved by the Contract Officer. Any greater increases, taken either separately or cumulatively, must be approved by the City Council. (c) Any adjustment in the Contract Sum for a Change Order must be in accordance with the rates set forth in the Schedule of Compensation in Exhibit “C”. If the rates in the Schedule of Compensation do not cover the type of work in the Change Order, the cost of such work shall not exceed an amount agreed upon in writing and signed by Contractor and Contract Officer. If the cost of the Change Order cannot be agreed upon, the City will pay for actual work of the Change Order completed, to the satisfaction of the City, as follows:
(i) Labor: the cost of labor shall be the actual cost for wages of workers and subcontractors performing the work for the Change Order at the time such work is done. The use of labor classifications that would increase the cost of such work shall not be permitted.
(ii) Materials and Equipment: the cost of materials and equipment shall be at cost to Contractor or lowest current price which such materials and equipment are reasonably available at the time the work is done, whichever is lower. (iii) If the cost of the extra work cannot be agreed upon, the Contractor must provide a daily report that includes invoices for labor, materials and equipment costs for the work under the Change Order. The daily report must include: list of names of workers, classifications, and hours worked; description and list of quantities of materials used; type of equipment, size, identification number, and hours of operation, including loading and transportation, if applicable; description of other City authorized services and expenditures in such detail as the City may require. Failure to submit a daily report by the close of the next working day may, at the City’s sole and absolute discretion, waive the Contractor’s rights for that day. (d) It is expressly understood by Contractor that the provisions of this Section 1.10 shall not apply to services specifically set forth in the Scope of Work. Contractor hereby acknowledges that it accepts the risk that the services to be provided pursuant to the Scope of Work may be more costly or time consuming than Contractor anticipates and that Contractor DocuSign Envelope ID: 3390219A-436B-435B-B7CF-E2CACC7C3F0C Item #9.

shall not be entitled to additional compensation therefor. City may in its sole and absolute discretion have similar work done by other contractors. (e) No claim for an increase in the Contract Sum or time for performance shall be valid unless the procedures established in this Section are followed.
1.11 Special Requirements.
Additional terms and conditions of this Agreement, if any, which are made a part hereof are set forth in the “Special Requirements” attached hereto as Exhibit “B” and incorporated herein by this reference. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of Exhibit “B” and any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of Exhibit “B” shall govern.
ARTICLE 2. COMPENSATION AND METHOD OF PAYMENT.
2.1 Contract Sum.
Subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement, City agrees to pay Contractor the amounts specified in the “Schedule of Compensation” attached hereto as Exhibit “C” and incorporated herein by this reference.

The method of compensation may include: (i) a lump sum payment upon completion; (ii) payment in accordance with specified tasks or the percentage of completion of the services less the contract retention; (iii) payment for time and materials based upon the Contractor’s rates as specified in the Schedule of Compensation, provided that (a) time estimates are provided for the performance of sub tasks, (b) contract retention is maintained and (c) the Contract Sum is not exceeded; or (iv) such other methods as may be specified in the Schedule of Compensation.
2.3 Reimbursable Expenses.
Compensation may include reimbursement for actual and necessary expenditures for reproduction costs, telephone expenses, and travel expenses approved by the Contract Officer in advance, or actual subcontractor expenses of an approved subcontractor pursuant to Section 4.5, and only if specified in the Schedule of Compensation. The Contract Sum shall include the attendance of Contractor at all project meetings reasonably deemed necessary by the City.

certifying compliance with all provisions of the Agreement.

Sub-contractor charges shall also be detailed by such categories.
Contractor shall not invoice City for any duplicate services performed by more than one person.
City shall, as soon as practicable, independently review each invoice submitted by the Contractor to determine whether the work performed and expenses incurred are in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. Except as to any charges for work performed or expenses incurred by Contractor which are disputed by City, or as provided in Section 7.3, City will cause Contractor to be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of Contractor’s correct and undisputed invoice; however, Contractor acknowledges and agrees that due to City warrant run procedures, the City cannot guarantee that payment will occur within this time period. In the event that City does not cause Contractor to be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of an undisputed and properly submitted invoice, Contractor shall be entitled to the payment of interest to the extent allowed under Public Contract Code Section 20104.50. In the event any charges or expenses are disputed by City, the original invoice shall be returned by City to Contractor, not later than seven (7) days after receipt by the City, for correction and resubmission. Returned invoices shall be accompanied by a document setting forth in writing the reasons why the payment request was rejected. Review and payment by the City of any invoice provided by the Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies provided herein or any applicable law.

litigation, and/or acts of any governmental agency, including the City, if the Contractor shall within ten (10) days of the commencement of such delay notify the Contract Officer in writing of the causes of the delay.

The Contract Officer’s determination shall be final and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement.

ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION
7.1 California Law.
This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Contractor covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Los Angeles, State of California.
7.2 Disputes.
(a) Default; Cure. In the event that Contractor is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Contractor for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Contractor of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Contractor may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Contractor is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall proceed with payment on the invoices only when the default is cured. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Contractor does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article.
Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Contractor’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.
(b) Dispute Resolution. This contract is subject to the provisions of Article 1.5 (commencing at Section 20104) of Division 2, Part 3 of the California Public Contract Code regarding the resolution of public works claims of less than $375,000. Article 1.5 mandates certain procedures for the filing of claims and supporting documentation by the Contractor, for the response to such claims by the City, for a mandatory meet and confer conference upon the request DocuSign Envelope ID: 3390219A-436B-435B-B7CF-E2CACC7C3F0C Item #9.

of the Contractor, for mandatory non-binding mediation in the event litigation is commenced, and for mandatory judicial arbitration upon the failure to resolve the dispute through mediation. This Agreement hereby incorporates the provisions of Article 1.5 as though fully set forth herein.
7.3 Retention of Funds.
Contractor hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Contractor (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Contractor’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Contractor’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Contractor, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Contractor to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.
7.4 Waiver.
Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.
Acceptance by City of any work or services by Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.
Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.
Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.
7.6 Legal Action.
In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Contractor shall file a claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et seq. and 910 et seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement.

7.7 Liquidated Damages.
Since the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the sum of $1,000.00 (One Thousand Dollars) as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any service required hereunder, as specified in the Schedule of Performance (Exhibit “D”). The City may withhold from any monies payable on account of services performed by the Contractor any accrued liquidated damages. Pursuant to Government Code Section 4215, Contractor shall not be assessed liquidated damages for delay in completion of the project when such delay was caused by the failure of the public agency or owner of the utility to provide for removal or relocation of utility facilities.
7.8 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.
This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Contractor, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Contractor, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Contractor reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to City, except that where termination is due to the fault of the City, the period of notice may be such shorter time as the Contractor may determine. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Contractor shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Contractor has initiated termination, the Contractor shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Contractor has initiated termination, the Contractor shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.9 Termination for Default of Contractor.
If termination is due to the failure of the Contractor to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Contractor shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Contractor for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.
7.10 Attorneys’ Fees.
If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or DocuSign Envelope ID: 3390219A-436B-435B-B7CF-E2CACC7C3F0C Item #9.

All such fees shall be deemed to have accrued on commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.
7.11 Unfair Business Practices Claims.
In entering into this Agreement, Contractor offers and agrees to assign to the City all rights, title, and interest in and to all causes of action it may have under Section 4 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. § 15) or under the Cartwright Act (Chapter 2, (commencing with Section 16700) of Part 2 of Division 7 of the Business and Professions Code), arising from purchases of goods, services or materials related to this Agreement.
