RECOMMENDATION:

RECOMMENDATION TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 014-2026 OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HAWAIIAN GARDENS,

CALIFORNIA, CONFIRMING THE ASSESSMENT DIAGRAM AND ASSESSMENTS,

AND ORDERING THE LEVY AND COLLECTION OF ASSESSMENTS WITHIN THE CITY OF HAWAIIAN GARDENS’ CONSOLIDATED LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. HG-LLA1, FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027.

SUMMARY
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets and Highways Code Section 22500 et seq.) (the Act) authorizes the City to impose assessments to acquire, install, construct, and maintain landscaping, lighting, and park and recreational facilities. The Act requires the preparation of an Engineer’s Report that contains plans and specifications for improvements, the estimated of the costs of the improvements, a diagram for the assessment district, and an assessment of the estimated costs of the improvements. The City then approves the Engineer’s Report, declares its intent to levy assessments as set forth in the Engineer’s Report, and holds a public hearing, before ordering the levy and collection of assessments within a specified assessment district.

At the May 13th, 2026 City Council meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 006- 2026 approving the preliminary Engineer's Report, and declaring its intention to levy assessments for the City of Hawaiian Gardens Consolidated Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. HG-LLA1 (the District) for Fiscal Year 2026-2027, and ordering required notice of a public hearing to consider the assessments. The proposed assessment for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 for the District reflects no increase from Fiscal Year 2025-2026 assessment levels. Subsequently, proper public notice of this Public Hearing was published.

I. INTRODUCTION
This Annual Engineer’s Report (“Report”) is prepared pursuant to the City of Hawaiian Gardens (“City”) Council action taken at their regular meeting ordering a report for the levy of assessments for the Fiscal Year commencing July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2027 (Fiscal Year 2026/2027).

This report is prepared in recognition of the requirements of Article XIIID of the California Constitution (“Article XIIID”), and the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (“1972 Act”), being Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code.

This Assessment District, by special benefit assessments, will provide funding for street improvements within the City of Hawaiian Gardens public right-of-way. The items funded by the District are exempt from the procedural and approval requirements set forth in Section 5(a) of Article XIIID that states:
...assessments existing on the effective date of this Article shall be exempt from the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4 [if they were] imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems or vector control.

As discussed herein, the improvements funded by the Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 are pre-existing and the assessments are used to fund the maintenance and operation expenses for street improvements. Furthermore, the assessment rates for the District have not increased since prior to July 1, 1997. Therefore, the District assessments are exempt from the procedural requirements of Article XIIID provided the assessments are not increased above the rates and method established prior to July 1, 1997.

This Report presents the engineering analysis for the 2026/2027 Fiscal Year for the Assessment District known as the Consolidated Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. HG-LLA1 ("District").

This District, by special benefit assessments, provides funding, on a Citywide basis, for the installation, operation, maintenance and servicing of street lights and traffic signals (including the maintenance of appurtenant horizontal and vertical surfaces); the installation, maintenance and servicing of landscaped areas (parkways, medians, etc.) and the removal or covering of graffiti; all of which are located in the public street right-of-way, which is further defined as one or any combination of the following:

1. Any public street, highway, road, alley, lane, boulevard, parkway, or other way dedicated to or used for public use.

2. Any public property, right-of-way, or leasehold interest which is in use in the performance of a public function, and which adjoins any of the ways described in Item 1 above.

Section 22573 of the 1972 Act, requires assessments to be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. The section states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.
2026/2027 City of Hawaiian Gardens – HG-LLA1 Page 2
The determination of whether or not a lot or parcel will benefit from the improvements shall be made pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 commencing with Section 5000) [of the Streets and Highways Code, State of California]."
The 1972 Act also provides for the classification of various areas within an assessment district into different zones where,
"by reason of variations in the nature, location and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive differing degrees of benefit from the improvements. A zone shall consist of all territory which will receive substantially the same degree of benefit from the improvements." A. BACKGROUND
The District was originally formed by the Los Angeles County (“County”) Board of Supervisors as County Lighting Maintenance District Number CLMD 10034, which assessed an ad valorem charge exclusively used for street lighting. In response to Proposition 13, on July 24, 1979, the County formed the County Lighting District LLA-1 throughout the County, including a Zone for the City using the Streets and Highways Code provisions for Landscaping and Lighting district benefit assessments. County Lighting District LLA-1 was consolidated with the ad valorem County Lighting Maintenance District Number CLMD 10034 to provide full funding for street lighting maintenance by joint resolution of the Hawaiian Gardens City Council and Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.

The ad valorem tax revenue contribution represents the amount of general fund monies the City anticipates it will contribute toward the District’s expenses for Fiscal Year 2026/2027. This contribution is adjusted annually based on Ad Valorem tax revenues necessary to fund that portion of the District improvements not funded by the District assessments.

In an effort to gain control of the responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the street lighting system and its funding, the City Council of the City of Hawaiian Gardens initiated proceedings to transfer the authority of the Consolidated District LLA-1 and CLMD 10034 from County to City control. Jurisdiction was transferred by joint resolution of the City and the County as of July 1, 1995. At the same time, the districts were re-designated as the Consolidated Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. HG-LLA1. The new Consolidated District No.

HG-LLA1 was expanded to include the funding of other improvements authorized under the 1972 Act. Prior to the transfer, the County of Los Angeles administered each year's levy and collection.

Since July 1, 1995, the City has administered the annual levy and collection.

On March 12, 1996, the City Council, as the property owner of property located at 21815 Pioneer Boulevard (Los Angeles County Assessor's Parcels Number 7075-001-914, 915 and 916), requested said property be annexed into the District, and further declared their written consent and waiver of annexation hearings, notices and protest proceedings for the annexation, as allowed in Streets and Highways Code Section 22608.

II. BOUNDARIES OF DISTRICT
The boundary of the District is within the City limits of the City of Hawaiian Gardens and is shown on the Assessment Diagram that is on file at City Hall with the City Clerk of the City of Hawaiian Gardens and by reference is made part of this report (On file in the office of the City Clerk at the City Hall of Hawaiian Gardens as Exhibit "A"). The lots and parcels within the District are more particularly described on the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Parcel Maps prepared in accordance with Section 327 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code and are on file in the 2026/2027 City of Hawaiian Gardens – HG-LLA1 Page 3

 Any expenses incidental to the issuance of bonds or notes pursuant to Section 22662.5.
 Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased assessment.

The 1972 Act defines "Maintain" or "maintenance" to mean furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement, including:
 Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvement.  Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury.  The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste.  The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti.

VI. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. INTRODUCTION
In November 1996 voters of the State of California passed Proposition 218, which added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution requiring new procedures for assessments.

Specifically, as it relates to this District, Article XIIID requires that assessments comply with stated provisions by July 1, 1997, unless an assessment district meets certain exemptions. The exemptions from the procedural and approval requirements are set forth in Section 5 of the Article and include the following:
"(a) any assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems or vector control.”
The District assessments qualify for the exemption as the improvements financed by the assessments are considered exempt under provision (a) quoted above, specifically, "street" improvements.

Street Improvement is defined based on the definitions provided by the Office of the Controller for the State of California in the Guidelines Relating to Gas Tax Expenditures published by the Division of Local Government Fiscal Affairs. The state’s gas tax program is administered in city agencies, but audited by the Office of the State Controller. The proceeds of the gas tax are statutorily limited to expenditures for streets and roads. Because the funds are restricted to street and road costs, the State Controller has developed “Street Purpose Definitions and Guidelines” based on the Manual of Uniform Highway Accounting and Financial Management Procedures developed by the American Association of State Highway Officials. Street improvement is defined as the construction, operation, or maintenance of facilities within the right of way used for street or road purposes including but not limited to the following:
 Installation or expansion of the street lighting system including replacement of old equipment with superior equipment, installation of traffic signals at intersections and railroad crossings, replacement of equipment as required for relocations for street purposes, and purchase and installation of traffic signal control equipment.  Installation or expansion of fences; raised medians or barriers for traffic safety; installation or addition to landscape treatment such as sod, shrubs, trees, irrigation, etc.; installation or extension of curb, gutter, or sidewalks; and replacement of retaining walls to a higher standard.
 Servicing lighting systems and street or road traffic control devices including, repainting and repairing traffic signals and lighting standards; and furnishing of power for street and road lighting and traffic control devices.
 Mowing, tree trimming and watering within the street right of way; replacing top soil, sod, shrubs, trees, irrigation facilities, etc. on the street and roadside; reseeding, re-sodding, and repairing of shoulders and approaches; reshaping or restoration of drainage channels and side slopes; cleaning or repairing of culverts and drains, or curb and gutter. 2026/2027 City of Hawaiian Gardens – HG-LLA1 Page 7
The 1972 Act indicates that assessments may be apportioned by any formula or method, which fairly distributes costs among all lots or parcels within the district in proportion to the estimated benefits received.

B. STREET LIGHTING
The primary benefits of street lighting are for the convenience, safety and protection of people and, to a lesser extent, the security or protection of property, property improvements and goods.

The intensity or degree of illumination provided can have a bearing on both.

People Related Benefits (People Use)

1. Reduction in night accidents and attendant human misery and decrease in personal and property loss.

2. Less vulnerability to criminal assault at night.

3. Promotion of business during nighttime hours.

4. Increased facility of use of roads and highways.

5. Inspiration for community spirit and growth.

Security or Property Protection (Security Benefit)

1. Reduction in vandalism and other criminal acts, and damage to improvements.

2. Reduction in burglaries.

Intensity
Intensity or degree of illumination, provided on streets in the District varies with the type of street and the use of the property adjacent thereto. The following table from the Illuminating Engineering Society Handbook was used as a guide for the installation of the majority of the District lighting systems. The cost of providing the highest recommended degree of illumination (used in commercial areas) is about four times the cost of providing the intensity recommended for the lowest category that includes residential properties.

Based on land use information provided by the Los Angeles County Assessor, it has been determined that the primary land use in the City of Hawaiian Gardens is single family residential.

In view of this and the benefits derived by the family unit, both at and in the proximity of their property, a value of one has been assigned to the basic family unit, i.e., the single-family home 2026/2027 City of Hawaiian Gardens – HG-LLA1 Page 8
or condominium. The District includes some properties that may not actually have streetlights on their block but which do receive a neighborhood benefit from the lights in the area. Based on engineering evaluation of the factors involved and a strong indication that lighting benefits are largely people related, a value of ½ unit was given to "People Use" while "Intensity" and "Security Benefit" were each rated at ¼ of a unit to form the basic unit. Parcels in other land use categories were then rated by comparison with the basic unit.

In the remainder of the residential category, which is comprised of multiple rental type properties, the value for Intensity would remain at ¼ of a unit, but the other two items would increase in proportion to the number of family dwelling units on the parcel. For example, a duplex was assigned ¼ of a unit for Intensity, 1 unit for People Use, and ½ of a unit for Security Benefit for a total of 1¾ units. The owner of such property would therefore pay 1¾ times as much for lighting as the owner of a single-family residence. In consideration of the distance some units would be from the lighted roadway, Security Benefits in the residential category would not be increased beyond a value of 1 unit. Thus a 5-unit apartment would be assigned ¼ of a unit for Intensity, 2½ units for People Use, and 1 unit for Security Benefits or a total of 3¾ units. As the number of apartments on a parcel increases, the service charge units assigned for people would follow a declining scale as follows:
21 through 50 Apartments
Units for 20 apartments plus ⅓ of a unit for each apartment over 20 (20 apartments = ¼ for Intensity, 10 for People and 1 for Security = 11¼ units).

Example: 50 apartments; (50 - 20)  3 = 10; 11¼ + 10 = 21¼ units. 51 through 100 Apartments
Units for 50 apartments plus ¼ of a unit for each apartment over 50 Example: 100 apartments; (100 - 50)  4 = 12½; 21¼ + 12½ = 33¾ units.

Over 100 Apartments
Units for 100 apartments plus 1/5 of a unit for each apartment over 100 Example: 200 apartments; (200 - 100)  5 = 20; 33¾ + 20 = 53¾.

The remaining 7 percent of the lots or parcels (County-wide as of 1979) were separated into 48 land use categories as determined by the County Assessor and units were assigned on the basis of average benefits received as follows:

Group K
It was determined that properties within the 11 land use categories in this group (which represent less than 1/3 of one percent of the total lots or parcels within the districts, county-wide as of 1979) varied widely from the norm and therefore these lots or parcels were considered on an individual basis. Each of the parcels or lots in these land use categories was identified on the official lighting district maps and each streetlight or portion thereof in the immediate proximity of the lots or parcels benefiting the lots or parcels was assigned a number of units as indicated below. The total number of units so determined for that category would be distributed among the lots or parcels in that category in proportion to the lot or parcel area as shown below. A minimum of 3 units would be assessed to each lot or parcel to be compatible with Group D that contains many of the smaller business categories. Several huge lots or parcels in outlying areas within the existing lighting districts have no lights in the immediate proximity and therefore those lots or parcels would be assessed the minimum.

3. Regional Shopping Centers 0.021812 Units per 100 sq. feet 2026/2027 City of Hawaiian Gardens – HG-LLA1 Page 12
Determining the Cost per Lot or Parcel
Using the aforementioned procedures, the sum of the total number of units applicable to all of the lots or parcels in the City would be determined (Total Units). The net amount to be raised by assessment (Net Assessment) is then allocated to each parcel in the District based on their assigned units per parcel. The cost to be assessed per unit (Unit Cost) would be equal to the quotient of the Net Assessment divided by the Total Units. To determine a parcel's assessment, a property owner can multiply the Unit Cost by the number of units assigned to the parcel.

Since the benefits have been related to property use and property users, no charge is assessed to vacant lots within the District.

C. TRAFFIC SIGNALS
The primary benefits of traffic signal maintenance are as follows:

1. Safe, orderly movement of traffic as a result of properly spaced, timed and maintained traffic signals.

2. Reduced downtime caused by malfunctioning traffic signals.

3. Reduction in accidents and attendant human misery and decrease in personal and property loss.

4. Increased facility of use of roads and highways.

Traffic signals have many of the same elements of benefit, as well as similar maintenance and servicing requirements, as streetlights. In general, each traffic signal has relatively high intensity safety lighting at its intersection to facilitate safe driving and pedestrian movements.

Therefore, the method of apportionment for traffic signals is determined to be the same as for streetlights, as discussed above under "Street Lights." D. STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY LANDSCAPING
The primary benefits of street right-of-way landscaping are related to the improved quality of life landscaping provides to a community. The landscaping of right-of-way along streets specially benefits parcels within the District by improving the physical and visual environment and making the District area more desirable. Property desirability is increased when infrastructures including landscaped right-of-way are in place, safe, clean, and wellmaintained. Facilities that are unsafe or destroyed by the elements or vandalism decrease the desirability of surrounding property.

The maintenance of street right-of-way landscaping improvements provides a special benefit to parcels within the District. The desirability of parcels within the District is enhanced by the presence of well-maintained medians and parkways. Having properly maintained landscaping within the District means the owners of the assessed parcels may enjoy the benefits of such improvements available for use while avoiding the expense of privately installing and maintaining similar improvements. Each parcel within the District is located within reasonable proximity to the assessed improvements, and therefore, benefits from the improvements provided.
2026/2027 City of Hawaiian Gardens – HG-LLA1 Page 13
The proper maintenance of street landscaping improves the aesthetics of parcels by reducing pollution and noise in surrounding areas through the provision of open space and the planting of otherwise barren areas, and reduces property-related crimes against properties within the District, especially vandalism, through the abatement of graffiti. All of the above contribute to a special benefit to each of the parcels assessed within the District.

The method of apportionment for street landscaping is almost exclusively "people" related with little, if any, benefit for "security," and it has no relationship to "lighting intensity". A review of the method of apportionment described in the "Street Lighting" section of this Report leads to the conclusion that only the "People Use" portion of the formula described therein should be used for apportionment of assessments for public landscaping, while discarding the "Security" and "Lighting Intensity" portions of the formula. The street landscaping formula will assign an assessment unit of ½ unit to a single-family residence, similar to the ½ unit People Use unit assigned in the Street Lighting formula. Three examples of the revision of the "Street Lighting" formula for assessing landscape maintenance are presented below.

Example 1
A 100-unit Apartment Complex
From the apartment formula in the "Street Lighting" section of this Report, the revised formula for assessing for public landscape maintenance would be calculated in steps utilizing ½ unit per apartment unit up through 20 apartment units.
1 through 20 Apartments (20 - 0) x ½ = 10
21 through 50 Apartments (50 - 20) x ⅓ = 10
51 through 100 Apartments (100 - 50) x ¼ = 12½
32½ Units
Example 2
Group D
From Group D in the "Street Lighting" section of this Report, the number of units for "People Use" is one (1). Therefore, lots or parcels with the land uses in Group D (office buildings, professional buildings, banks, service shops, lumber yards, etc.) shall be assessed one unit for public landscaping.

Example 3
Sub-group K-2: Wholesale and Manufacturing Outlets
From Sub-Group K-2 in the "Street Lighting" section of this Report, the "People Use" is 4 units.

Converting from the total of 6¼ units in Sub-Group K-2 to 4 units for "People Use" only is accomplished by dividing 4 units by 6¼ units to get a conversion factor of 0.64. Therefore, the units to be assessed for public landscaping for a parcel with a wholesale or manufacturing outlet land use are:

0.059858 x 0.64 = 0.038309 Units per 100 sq. feet of parcel area 2026/2027 City of Hawaiian Gardens – HG-LLA1 Page 14
E. GRAFFITI REMOVAL WITHIN STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY
The primary benefits of an active graffiti removal program are as set forth below:

1. Greater property desirability due to a clean, inviting environment for existing residences and businesses.

2. An increase in commercial/industrial activity when new businesses and their employees can be induced to locate in a graffiti-free Area.

3. A reduction in tagging activity when new tagging is immediately removed, thereby frustrating taggers.

4. An increased sense of safety when gang marking and tagging is not allowed to remain visible. Graffiti removal is a "People" intensive benefit, and the method of apportionment is identical to the formula described in the "Street Right-of-Way Landscaping" section of this Report.

F. INCIDENTAL COSTS
Incidental Costs, which are detailed in the "Financial Analysis" section of this Report, are added to each parcel’s assessment as a percentage of each parcel’s assessment for maintenance and servicing costs of improvements compared to the total of such maintenance and servicing costs pursuant to the 1972 Act.

RECOMMENDATION:

RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NO. 013-2026 FIXING THE

APPROPRIATIONS LIMITATION IN THE CITY OF HAWAIIAN GARDENS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027

SUMMARY
Article XIIIB (Proposition 4) of the California Constitution, as amended by Proposition 111, SB88 (1990), and the Gann Implementation Bill 1352, requires that local jurisdictions establish appropriation limits each fiscal year. This limits the amount of proceeds from taxes that cities and other government agencies within California can receive and spend each fiscal year. The intent of this law is to limit government spending by putting a cap on the total tax proceeds that can be appropriated each year. Tax proceeds include: all taxes levied by or for an agency; any revenues from license fees, general use charges and user fees to the extent that the proceeds exceed the cost of providing the service covered by the fee; and discretionary State subventions.

State legislation requires the City to annually adopt a spending limit for each fiscal year.

The City may consider both inflation and population factors for calculating the spending limitation amount. The available options are:

An increase over the prior year’s limitation is allowed in three instances:

1. Percentage change in California fourth quarter per capita personal income or the increase in the non- residential assessed valuation due to new construction.

2. Percentage change in the population of the jurisdiction or the county in which the jurisdiction is located, whichever is greater.

Agenda Item #B2

65320.00001\45118054.1

3. Corrections for previous computation errors.

The City has chosen the following factors for calculating the FY 2026-2027 appropriations limit:

• The population for Los Angeles County and the City of Hawaiian Gardens had population growth of -.44 and -.26 respectively. The City used the change for the City as reported by the State Department of Finance.
• The price factor provided by the State Department of Finance is the per capita income of 4.95%.

The attached calculation schedules show that using these factors results in an increase to the appropriations limit of $1,243,756 for FY 2026-2027. The appropriations limit for this fiscal year is increased to $27,836,040. The appropriations (revenues) subject to the limit total $5,688,748 per the approved budget, resulting in the appropriations limit exceeding the amount subject to the limit by $22,174,292.

FROM: Elise McCaleb, Community Development Director
BY: Cielo Frausto-Lupo, Community Development Specialist RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the First Amendment to Communications Site Lease Agreement with T-Mobile West LLC for 21815 Pioneer Boulevard.

SUMMARY
The First Amendment to Communications Site Lease Agreement between the City of Hawaiian Gardens and T-Mobile West LLC extends the existing lease of a communications facility (monopole) located at 21815 Pioneer Boulevard next to the Public Works yard. The amendment updates the lease terms to provide for continued use of the site under revised financial and operational conditions.

DISCUSSION
The City of Hawaiian Gardens and T-Mobile West LLC (T-Mobile) are parties to an existing Communications Site Lease Agreement for property located at 21815 Pioneer Boulevard. The lease was originally executed on February 5, 1996, and T-Mobile currently occupies the premises under the fifth and final renewal term of the agreement, which is scheduled to expire on August 18, 2026.

The proposed First Amendment to the Communications Site Agreement extends the lease by providing a five-year lease that is renewable for successive five (5) year terms, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement. The amendment also provides updated notice requirements for either party if they elect not to renew the lease.

The original rent to lease the communications facility was $200 per month. The First Amendment establishes rent in the amount of $3,500 per month. Rent will increase annually by three percent (3%). In addition, T-Mobile will provide the City with a one-time Agenda Item #C1

WHEREAS, Lessor and Lessee, in their mutual interest, wish to amend the Lease to extend the term and make other changes as set forth below accordingly.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Lessor and Lessee agree as follows:

1. Incorporation of Recitals. The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein as if set forth in their entirety.

2. Extension of Term. As of the Effective Date of this First Amendment, Lessee occupies the Premises in its fifth and final Renewal Term, which shall expire on August 18, 2026 (“Expiration of Original Term”). At the Expiration of Original Term, the term of the Lease shall be automatically be extended for five (5) additional and successive five (5) year terms (collectively the “Extended Term”), each included as a Renewal Term, provided that Lessee is not in default beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods set forth in the Lease, and provided that Lessee may elect not to renew by providing Lessor at least sixty (60) days' notice prior to the expiration of the then current Renewal Term. Lessor may elect not to renew by providing Lessee at least three hundred sixty-five (365) days’ notice prior to the expiration of the then current Renewal Term.

3. Holdover. If Lessee is still conducting any activities or operations on the Property, or is otherwise using the Property without a written agreement with Lessor after expiration of the Renewal Terms, as provided herein, such possession or use shall be deemed a monthto-month holdover use under the same terms and conditions of the Lease, except that the Rent shall be one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Rent in effect at the expiration of the Renewal Term, and shall be payable in advance in equal monthly installments. Nothing contained herein shall grant Lessee the right to holdover after the expiration of the Renewal Term and notwithstanding the payment of Lease fees during the Attachment A
2 TMO / Sprint Site ID: LA02084A
TMO / Sprint Lease ID: 100798
holdover period, Lessor shall have the right to require Lessee to vacate the Property at any time upon sixty (60) days written notice.

4. Rent Adjustment. Commencing on the first day of the month immediately following the Effective Date of this First Amendment, Lessee shall pay Lessor on or before the fifth (5th) day of each calendar month in advance Three Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($3,500.00) per month as Rent. In any partial month occurring after the Effective Date, Rent will be prorated. Each year on the anniversary of the Effective Date, the Rent shall increase annually by an amount equal to three percent (3%) over the amount of Rent in effect immediately prior to such increase. Rent shall be payable without offset or deduction in accordance with Section 5 of the Lease or to any other person or firm as Lessor may, from time to time, designate in writing at least sixty (60) days in advance of any Rent due date.

5. Signing Bonus. Within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date of this First Amendment. Lessee shall pay a one-time amount of Five Thousand Dollars and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000.00) (the “Signing Bonus”) to Lessor as partial reimbursement for Lessor’s proprietary costs and expenses incurred to process, finalize and execute this First Amendment . The Signing Bonus is non-reimbursable.

6. Interference. Section 7 of the Lease shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:

7.1 Interference. Lessee acknowledges and understands that there may be communications facilities on Property belonging to one or more third parties (referred to as the “Prior User(s)”) that has entered into an agreement(s) (the “Prior Use Agreement(s)”) with Lessor, pursuant to which the Prior User(s) has(ve) been permitted to install and operate communications equipment on the Property. Where applicable, Lessee represents and warrants that prior to the execution of this First Amendment, Lessee has determined that the Prior Users present no material interference with Lessee’s intended use within the Premises.

7.2 Lessee shall operate Lessee’s Facilities in a manner that will not cause harmful interference to (i) the Lessor’s use of the Property, or (ii) any communications equipment operated and/or owned by the Prior User(s) as of the Effective Date, provided that the Prior User(s) operates its communications equipment in accordance with the terms of the Prior Use Agreement(s). If Lessee’s Facilities cause such harmful interference, Lessee will immediately take all steps necessary to correct and eliminate the interference, including but not limited to, at Lessee’s option, powering down such equipment and later powering up such equipment for intermittent testing. If such interference cannot be corrected or powered down within two (2) days after Lessee is advised of such interference, Lessor may require that Lessee cease (or cause the cessation of) operation of the interfering equipment until such interference can be so corrected at which time the operation of such equipment may resume.

TMO / Sprint Lease ID: 100798

7.3 Lessor reserves the right to Lease other portions of the Property to third parties during the Renewal Term, if applicable. If, subsequent to the installation of Lessee’s Facilities, the new third-party equipment on the Property causes harmful interference with Lessee’s Facilities, Lessee shall use reasonable efforts to resolve the interference issues in cooperation with the owner and operator of the new equipment without involving Lessor personnel. If any such subsequent users cannot correct such harmful interference within ten (10) business days of Lessee’s written notification thereof to the subsequent user, Lessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts, as determined in Lessor’s reasonable discretion, to assist Lessee in resolving such harmful interference. If any such harmful interference is not thereafter resolved within ten (10) business days of Lessee’s written notification thereof to Lessor, Lessee may terminate this Lease upon sixty (60) days written notice to Lessor and obtain a refund of prepaid unused amounts of the Rent, or seek injunctive or other legal relief against/from such subsequent third party users. The refund shall be Lessee’s sole and exclusive remedy and recovery as against Lessor for any interference, and Lessee hereby waives any other rights or remedies it may have at law or in equity against Lessor related thereto. The parties recognize and agree that it is the intention of this Section 7 that Lessor not become embroiled in any disputes or proceedings between Lessee and any other users of the Property, and/or expend funds as a result thereof; therefore, Lessee agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Lessor against any claim related to or arising from any disputes or proceedings between Lessee and any other users of the Property.”

7. Temporary Relocation. Lessee understands and agrees that from time to time during the Term, Lessor may require Lessee to remove and/or relocate all or portions of the Lessee’s Facilities from the Premises temporarily at Lessee’s expense in order for Lessor to exercise its paramount rights at the Property. Lessor shall give Lessee at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of the necessity to relocate the Lessee’s Facilities for the temporary period, and will use good faith efforts to provide temporary space at the Property, or another mutually acceptable Lessor-owned location for such temporary relocation; provided Lessee is not in default under the Lease beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods set forth in the Lease. Lessee shall be solely responsible at its cost for obtaining any necessary permits and otherwise complying with all laws, permits, and other rules and regulations of any public entity applicable in connection with the temporary relocation of its Lessee’s Facilities. Notwithstanding any relocation, the Lease shall continue without abatement of the Rent unless Lessor is unable to provide space for temporary relocation and as a result Lessee is required to cease to operate its Lessee’s Facilities for a period of more than fourteen (14) days in which event Lessee shall be entitled to an abatement of the Rent equivalent to the number of full days in excess of fourteen (14) days during which Lessee was unable to operate its Lessee’s Facilities. Lessor will calculate and refund such abatement amount without interest within sixty (60) days after the end of the temporary relocation period.
4 TMO / Sprint Site ID: LA02084A
TMO / Sprint Lease ID: 100798
(a) At the end of the temporary relocation period, Lessee shall at its cost return the relocated Lessee’s Facilities to the Premises, unless the parties mutually agree that the Lessee’s Facilities may remain at the temporary location in which case the parties shall memorialize such agreement by an amendment to the Lease. Lessee shall have a right to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lessor if any temporary relocation exceeds ninety (90) days, or if Lessor requires Lessee to temporarily relocate the Lessee’s Facilities more than one (1) time during any Renewal Term. If the Lease is terminated for such reason, Lessor shall refund any pre-paid unused months of the Rent on a proportionate basis, but Lessee shall not be entitled to reimbursement or payment by Lessor of any further expenses or costs it may incur by reason of its election to terminate this Lease hereunder.

8. Insurance. Section 12 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

Any self-insured retentions must be declared to, and approved by, the Lessor Administrative Officer or his/her designee in his/her sole discretion. At the option of the Lessor Administrative Officer or his/her designee, either (i) the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such self-insured retentions as respects Lessor, its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers; or (ii) In the event of a self-insured retention, Lessee shall provide a financial guarantee, satisfactory to the Lessor Administrative Officer or his/her designee in his/her sole discretion, guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration and defense expenses.

At no time shall Lessor be responsible for the payment of any deductibles or self-insured retentions.

12.8 All policies of insurance required hereunder shall be endorsed to provide that the coverage shall not be cancelled, non-renewed, except after thirty (30) calendar day written notice has been given to Lessor. Lessee is required to provide 30 day notice of any reduction of limits or coverage as required under this Agreement. Upon issuance by the insurer, broker, or agent of a notice of cancellation, non-renewal, Lessee shall furnish Lessor with a new certificate and applicable endorsements for such policy(ies). In the event any policy is due to expire during the term of this Lease, Lessee shall provide a new certificate, and applicable endorsements, evidencing renewal of such policy not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the expiration date of the expiring policy.

12.9 The General Liability and Automobile Liability insurance policies shall be written on an occurrence form. The General Liability (including ongoing operations and completed operations) and Automobile Liability insurance policies shall name Lessor, its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers as an additional insured. All such policies of insurance shall be endorsed so Lessee’s insurance shall be primary and no contribution shall be required of Lessor, its officers, officials, employees, agents or volunteers. Any Workers’ Compensation insurance policy shall contain a waiver of subrogation as to Lessor, its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers. The coverage(s) shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to Lessor, its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers. The insurance coverage required by Lessee under this Agreement shall not limit their liability to the Lessor. 6 TMO / Sprint Site ID: LA02084A
TMO / Sprint Lease ID: 100798

12.10 Lessee and its insurers shall waive all rights of contribution, recovery and subrogation against Lessor, its officers, officials, employees and agents on account of any injury, death or property damage to any person, including any injury or death to the Lessee, its principles, officers, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, consultants, sub-consultants, invitees, or Lessee’s property or the property of others under Lessee’s care, custody and control. Lessee shall give notice to its insurers that this waiver of subrogation is contained in this Lease. This requirement shall survive expiration or termination of this Lease.

12.11 Lessee shall furnish Lessor with all certificate(s) and applicable endorsements effecting coverage required hereunder. All certificates and applicable endorsements are to be received and approved by the Lessor prior to Lessor’s execution of this Lease.

This requirement shall survive expiration or termination of this Lease.

12.12 If at any time during the life of this Lease or any extension, Lessee or any of its contractors, subcontractors, consultants or sub-consultants fail to maintain any required insurance in full force and effect, all work under this Lease shall be discontinued immediately, until notice is received by Lessor that the required insurance has been restored to full force and effect and that the premiums therefore have been paid for a period satisfactory to Lessor. Any failure to maintain the required insurance shall be sufficient cause for Lessor to terminate this Lease. No action taken by Lessor hereunder shall in any way relieve Lessee of its responsibilities under this Lease.

12.13 The fact that insurance is obtained by Lessee shall not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of Lessee, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this Lease. The duty to indemnify Lessor shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by Lessee. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of Lessee, its principals, officers, agents, employees, persons under the supervision of Lessee, vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, sub-consultants, subcontractors, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.

12.14 If it is necessary for Lessee to contract for the design, construction and/or maintenance of the Lessee’s Facilities, Lessee shall require each consultant and contractor to provide insurance protection in favor of Lessor, its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers in accordance with the terms of each of the preceding paragraphs, except that the consultant’s and contractor’s certificates and endorsements shall be on file with Lessee and Lessor prior to the commencement of any work by the consultant and/or contractor.”

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #C8
DATE: June 24, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Ernesto Marquez, City Manager
BY: Pablo Rubio, City Clerk
RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation to adopt Resolution No. 018-2026, adopting a City Council policy, to encourage participation by traditionally under-engaged communities in public meetings.

SUMMARY
California Senate Bill 707 (SB 707) amended the Ralph M. Brown Act (Gov. Code §§ 54950 et seq.) to among other open meeting requirements, update teleconferencing and accessibility requirements, including provisions related to encouraging attendance at public meetings.

SB 707 applies to all legislative bodies as defined by the Brown Act, but certain special provisions apply only to what is now defined in the Brown Act as “eligible legislative bodies.” The Hawaiian Gardens City Council (but not other boards, commissions, or committees of the City) qualifies as an “eligible legislative body” because the City Council governs a city located in Los Angeles County, a County with a population of more than 600,000 people. (See, Gov. Code 54953.4(e)(2)(C)(defining “eligible legislative body” to include a city council of a city located in a county with a population of 600,000 or more).

Among other requirements, SB 707 requires that the City make reasonable efforts to invite groups that do not traditionally participate in public meetings to attend. (Gov. Code, § 54953.4(b)(3)(C).) While Government Code § 54953.4(b)(3)(C), does not require the City to adopt a formal policy on this topic, the proposed policy attached as Exhibit A to the proposed Resolution (Attachment 1), provides the City with a framework of how to engage in such “reasonable efforts”, and thereby remain compliant with Section 54953.4(b)(3)(C).

Agenda Item #C8
June 24, 2026

Page 2 ends

This proposed policy establishes the reasonable efforts the City will take to conduct outreach to groups that do not traditionally participate in public meetings encouraging them to attend public meetings. Such efforts include, but are not limited to:
• Compiling a list of organizations, media outlets and other entities that may assist in expanding awareness of City council meetings; and
• Using the above list, the City Council may provide direction to staff to utilize a variety of outreach methods (depending on available resources and community needs) which may include direct distribution of meeting information through e-mail or other notification systems; posting of meeting information on the City’s website or other digital platforms; use of social media or electronic communications; and coordination with media outlets or community organizations to share information about upcoming meetings.

The policy is intended to support inclusive public engagement while preserving the City Council’s discretion to determine and adjust appropriate outreach methods based on local needs, priorities, and available resources. Consistent with applicable law, failure to provide outreach or notice to any specific organization or group shall not give rise to any claim or liability.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve Recommendation.

City of Hawaiian Gardens
Public Participation and Outreach Policy
(Gov. Code § 54953.4(b)(3)(C).)

1. Background
Senate Bill 707 (2025) amended the Brown Act to require eligible legislative bodies to take certain actions to encourage residents, including those in underrepresented communities and non-English-speaking communities, to participate in public meetings.

2. Purpose
This Policy establishes the reasonable efforts the City Council of the City of Hawaiian Gardens will take to invite groups that do not traditionally participate in public meetings to attend its meetings under the Brown Act (Government Code § 54953.4(b)(3)(C).). This Policy is intended to support inclusive public engagement while preserving the City Council’s discretion to determine and adjust appropriate outreach methods based on local needs, priorities, and available resources.

3. Identification of Outreach Recipients
Upon of the adoption of this Policy, City staff will prepare and present to the City Council a list of organizations, media outlets, and other entities that may assist in expanding awareness of City Council meetings. This list may include, but is not limited to:
a. Media organizations that provide news coverage in the City’s jurisdiction, including media organizations that serve non-English-speaking communities; and
b. Community-based organizations such as good government groups, civil rights organizations, civic engagement organizations, neighborhood associations, and other community or cultural groups active in the City’s jurisdiction, including organizations active in non-English-speaking communities.

The list may be updated periodically as determined appropriate by the City Council or designated staff.
65320.00001\45113103.2 2

4. Outreach Methods
Using the above list, the City Council may provide direction to staff to utilize a variety of outreach methods, depending on available resources and community needs. These may include direct distribution of meeting information through e-mail or other notification systems; posting of meeting information on the City’s website or other digital platforms; use of social media or electronic communications; and coordination with media outlets or community organizations to share information about upcoming meetings.

The City Council may also provide direction to staff to consider partnerships with community-based organizations or other stakeholders to help disseminate information to broader or underrepresented audiences. Where feasible, outreach efforts may include the use of multilingual communications, culturally relevant messaging, or engagement through media outlets serving diverse communities.

Nothing in this Policy, however, requires the use of any particular outreach method.

5. Role of Staff
The City Council may assign responsibility for supporting outreach efforts to appropriate City staff, including but not limited to the City Clerk’s office, Communications staff, or other designated personnel. Staff responsibilities may include maintaining or updating outreach contact lists, preparing and distributing outreach materials, coordinating with community organizations or media outlets, and recommending outreach strategies for consideration by the City Council. Staff may also assist in identifying opportunities to improve outreach based on experience, feedback, or changes in community needs.

6. Documentation and Reporting
The City Council may request periodic summaries of outreach efforts for informational purposes. Such summaries may include general descriptions of outreach activities undertaken, categories of organizations or groups contacted, and observations regarding participation or engagement trends. Reporting may be provided on a periodic basis as determined by the City Council and is not intended to require detailed tracking of every outreach activity.

7. Evaluation and Adjustment
The City Council may periodically review its outreach practices and make adjustments as appropriate. In doing so, it may consider factors such as community feedback, participation levels, resource availability, and evolving communication practices.

8. Discretion and Limitation
This Policy is intended to provide general guidance and does not create mandatory duties or obligations. The City Council retains broad discretion in determining what constitutes reasonable outreach efforts. Consistent with applicable law, failure to provide outreach or notice to any specific organization or group shall not give rise to any claim or liability. 65320.00001\45113103.2 3

9. Additional Brown Act Public Access Requirements
In addition to the outreach efforts described in this Policy, the Brown Act establishes additional public access requirements intended to support broad participation in public meetings of eligible legislative bodies like the City Council. These requirements include, among other things: provisions related to the translation of meeting agendas into applicable languages (if applicable), the availability of a public meetings webpage with specified information in required languages (if applicable), systems for requesting agendas and meeting materials, and accommodations that facilitate public participation, including assistance for interpretation.

10.Review and Updates
This Policy may be amended by the City Council at a public meeting in open session.
