Office of the City Manager
City Council Agenda Report

October 28, 2025
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Huntington Park
6550 Miles Avenue
Huntington Park, CA 90255
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:

CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION AMENDING THE SALARY

RANGES FOR THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SALARY GRID 225 AND ASSISTANT CHIEF OF POLICE SALARY GRID 226 TO ALIGN WITH SALARY GRID 228 OF THE NON-REPRESENTED COMPENSATION PLAN
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT CITY COUNCIL:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 2025-XX, amending the salary ranges for the classifications of Assistant Director of Community Development Salary Grid 225 and Assistant Chief of Police Salary Grid 226, aligning both to Salary Grid 228 under the NonRepresented Compensation Plan (2023–2033); and

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Assistant Director of Community Development classification was established by Resolution No. 2009-70 and reaffirmed and budgeted by City Council on September 23, 2025, as part of the organizational capacity and succession planning initiative.

The Assistant Chief of Police classification was created by Resolution No. 2014-65 and budgeted under the same September 23, 2025, Council action authorizing new management positions.

CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION AMENDING THE SALARY

Page 2 of 3 ends

Both classifications are non-represented, at-will, and exempt from Civil Service. Neither range has been updated in more than a decade, and both are below regional market averages for equivalent executive-level management roles.

The proposed amendment aligns both classifications to Salary Grid 228 of the City’s NonRepresented Compensation Plan (2023–2033), ensuring parity across management positions and maintaining competitiveness for recruitment and retention. .

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
Both positions are already funded in the Fiscal Year 2025–26 General Fund, and no additional appropriation is required.

Classification Current Range New Range
Assistant Director of
Community Development
$8,307-$10,199 per month $11,727 - $14,396 per month
Assistant Chief of Police $8,307-$10,199 per month $11,727 - $14,396 per month *Approximate previous administrative range before alignment.

Accounts:
• Assistant Director of Community Development: 111-5010-419.11-00 • Assistant Chief of Police: 111-7010-421.11-00

LEGAL REQUIREMENT
Pursuant to Personnel Ordinance No. 1456 and the Non-Represented Compensation Plan (2023–2033), the City Council is the approving authority for amendments to the classification and salary plan.

Because both classifications are exempt, Civil Service Commission action is not required.

CONCLUSION
Approval of this resolution will ensure the City’s salary structure remains competitive, promote recruitment and retention of qualified management personnel, and maintain internal consistency across the organization’s upper management levels.

City Council Agenda Report

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Huntington Park
6550 Miles Avenue
Huntington Park, CA 90255
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:

APPROVAL OF CITY MEMBERSHIP IN THE GATEWAY CITIES AFFORDABLE

HOUSING TRUST JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:

1. Adopt a Resolution approving the City’s execution of the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement to join the Gateway Cities Affordable Housing Trust; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Gateway Cities Affordable Housing Trust Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement in the form acceptable to the City Attorney; and

3. Authorized payment of the City’s membership fees in the amount of $15,000 for FY 2024-25 and $15,465 for FY 2025-26, for a total of $30,465.

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City join the Gateway Cities Affordable Housing Trust (the Trust), a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) formed to help Gateway Cities collaboratively fund and support the production and preservation of affordable housing. By joining the Trust, the City gains access to a regional entity that improves the financial feasibility of affordable housing developments, enhances competitiveness for state and federal funds, and supports the goals of the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element.

The Trust has already committed over $10 million to six projects, supporting 667 affordable housing units, and is expected to manage new funding from Measure A, providing a recurring and growing source of subsidy for the region.

BACKGROUND
The Gateway Cities region, consisting of 27 cities in Southeast Los Angeles County, faces a growing demand for affordable and supportive housing. In response, the Gateway Cities Council of Governments (GCCOG), with financial support from the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), began exploring a regional trust model in 2021. Through extensive engagement with cities, developers, financial institutions, and housing advocates, the Gateway Cities Affordable Housing Trust was established in early 2023.

As part of its formation, the GCCOG and its consultants:
• Conducted interviews with city staff, developers, and housing experts. • Researched best practices and governance models from other housing trusts. • Assessed regional housing needs and funding gaps.
• Identified projects in the pipeline and their financial shortfalls. • Formed a Steering Committee of city managers, city staff, financial representatives, developers and other affordable housing stakeholders. • Drafted the JPA agreement, strategic plan, bylaws, and operational framework.

The Steering Committee and the Gateway Cities Council of Governments unanimously recommended the creation of the Trust, which has since had 20 cities join the Trust.

TRUST OVERVIEW & GOVERNANCE
The Trust is a public agency formed under California Government Code Section 6500 et seq. It does not build, own, or manage housing and does not mandate local project siting or require member cities to provide matching funds. All land use decisions remain under local jurisdiction and the Trust will only fund projects agreeable to the member cities.

The Trust is governed by a nine-member Board of Directors • Seven elected officials representing Trust member cities across four population categories, appointed by the GCCOG General Board.
• Two housing policy experts, appointed by the GCCOG City Managers Committee.

Member cities contribute toward administrative costs based on population

Population Size Annual Fee (FY 2025–26)
Up to 30,000 $7,732.50
30,001 to 60,000 $15,465.00
60,001 to 100,000 $33,507.50
Over 100,000 $48,972.50
A provision in the Joint Powers Agreement requires cities to pay all previous years' and current years' fees.

Fees are adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index (Los Angeles–Long Beach–Anaheim region). Cities may withdraw at any time with a six-month notice and a Council-approved resolution.

BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP
Membership in the Trust offers the City the following key benefits to support affordable housing efforts:

1. Direct Project Funding: Provides gap funding for the development of affordable housing for current community residents.

2. Additional Project Funding: Increases competitiveness of affordable housing projects for additional local, state, or federal funding.

3. More Funding: Improves Trust grant applications for regional, state, and federal funding by supporting a collaborative regional approach.

4. Staff Relief: Offers technical assistance and expertise in housing compliance, reporting, and program design—reducing city staff burden.

5. RHNA Credit: Contributes affordable units toward a city’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) requirements.

6. Expanded Partnerships: Builds partnerships with other public, private, and nonprofit entities engaged in affordable housing.

PAST PERFORMANCE AND PIPELINE
Between 2013 and 2021, the Gateway Cities region secured nearly 6,000 units across 58 projects with state tax credit financing alone. Since the Trust’s formation in 2023, it has launched two Notices of Funding Availability (NOFAs) and is ramping up capacity with new funding sources and programs in the pipeline. The next Trust NOFA is anticipated to be released before the end of 2025 and then offer funding on a recurring basis going forward.

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
Cost of membership fees in the amount of $15,000 for FY 2024-25 and $15,465 for FY 2025-26, for a total of $30,465. The membership moving forward will be approximately $15,465 annually.

CONCLUSION
Joining the Gateway Cities Affordable Housing Trust would expand the City’s capacity to support affordable housing, strengthen its regional partnerships, and improve developer access to capital. Participation aligns with the City’s Housing Element, supports funding competitiveness, and enhances regional collaboration—all while preserving local control over land use and entitlement decisions. Staff recommends membership in the Gateway Cities Housing Trust Joint Powers Authority.

POPULATION ANNUAL ADMINISTRATIVE FEE
Up to 30,000 $7,500
30,001 – 60,000 $15,000
60,001 – 100,000 $32,500
>100,000 $47,500
The Administrative Fee shall be assessed annually. After the first fiscal year, the Fees shall increase annually in an amount equal to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index for all urban consumers in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area for the 12-month period preceding the year the Fees are assessed. Payment of the Fees shall be due within 30 days of receipt of an invoice from the GCAHT. The invoice shall indicate how the Fees were calculated. A Party's contribution to GCAHT's administrative costs shall be in the form of money, unless the Board of Directors approves another form of contribution such as services, personal property or use of real or personal property, or other in-kind contributions. The acceptance and valuation of any such non-monetary contributions may be used to offset in whole or part a Party’s contribution as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board of Directors.

Notwithstanding the above, after the first fiscal year the Board of Directors may establish Fees in an amount the Board of Directors deems financially prudent; provided it shall roughly be proportional as to each Party in the amounts reflected in the table above.

2. Program Cost Contribution. The particular programs and program budget, funded, sponsored or operated by GCAHT, as well as the level of, and mechanisms for, the involvement of GCAHT and each Party, in such programs and program budget, shall be determined and approved by the Board of Directors.
(d) Accounts and Reports.

1. Books and Records. There shall be strict accountability of all GCAHT funds and accounts and report of all GCAHT receipts and disbursements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, GCAHT shall establish and maintain such funds and accounts as may be required by good accounting practice. The books and records of GCAHT shall be open to inspection at all reasonable times by each Party and its duly authorized representatives.

2. Annual Audit. The person appointed by the Board of Directors to perform the auditor function for GCAHT shall cause an annual independent audit of the accounts and 9 | Page
records of GCAHT and records to be made by a certified public accountant or firm of certified public accountants in accordance with Government Code section 6505. Such audits shall be delivered to each Party and shall be made available to the public.

3. Annual Financial Report. Pursuant to section 6539.5 of the Government Code, GCAHT shall publish an Annual Financial Report that shall describe the funds received by GCAHT and the use of such funds by GCAHT. The Annual Financial Report shall describe how the funds received by GCAHT have furthered the purposed of GCAHT. (e) Funds.

Section 8. Amendments and Additional Parties.
(a) This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a vote of two-thirds of all the Parties through formal action approving such an amendment by the Parties’ respective governing bodies.
(b) No addition to, or alteration of, the terms of this Agreement, whether by written or oral understanding of the parties, their officers, employees or agents, shall be valid or effective unless made in the form of a written amendment which is formally adopted and executed by the Parties in the same manner as this Agreement.

Section 9. Non-Liability for Obligations of GCAHT.
(a) The debts, liabilities, and obligations of GCAHT shall not be the debts, liabilities and obligations of any of the Parties or personal debts, liabilities and obligations or the Directors, officers or employees of GCAHT; provided that a Party may, by an agreement separate from this Agreement, contract for, or assume responsibility for, specific debts, liabilities, or obligations of GCAHT.

1. Indemnification. The GCAHT shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Party, its officers, agents, employees, representatives and volunteers (the “Indemnitees”) from and against any loss, injury, claim, lawsuit, liability, expense, or damages of any kind or nature (collectively, “Claims”) brought by a third party which arises out of or in connection with GCAHT’s administration of this Agreement, including such third party claims arising out of or in connection with any Indemnitees acting within their authorized capacity as an officer, agent, employee, representative or volunteer of GCAHT. The GCAHT’s duty to defend and indemnify under this Section shall not extend to Claims otherwise arising out of the Indemnitees’ own active negligence, omissions or willful misconduct, whether in whole or part. The GCAHT shall finance its obligation 10 | Page
pursuant to this Subsection by establishing a liability reserve fund, and/or by purchasing commercial insurance, and/or by joining a joint powers insurance authority (JPIA) as determined by the Board. In the event the GCAHT’s financial obligations to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, pursuant to this Subsection, exceed the liability reserve fund and/or the proceeds from any applicable insurance and/or JPIA coverage maintained by the GCAHT (hereinafter “Unfunded Liability”), a Party or Parties may meet and confer with GCAHT in good faith to negotiate alternative means or mechanisms by which GCAHT may fund such Unfunded Liability; however, in no event shall the event of an Unfunded Liability relieve, limit or waive GCAHT’s obligations of indemnity or defense to each Party as first set forth above in this Section. Nothing herein shall obligate any Party to indemnify or hold harmless GCAHT for any Unfunded Liability.

2. Assignment. Each Party shall assign to the GCAHT its rights, title, and interest to recover damages from any third party for Claims arising out of this Agreement, to the extent that the GCAHT has met its obligations to defend and indemnify such Party pursuant to this Section.

3. Survival. GCAHT’s duty to defend, indemnify and hold harmless shall survive and continue in full force and effect after withdrawal of any Party from this Agreement, including as to the withdrawing Party, or termination of this Agreement for any reason with respect to any Claims that occurred before the date of such withdrawal or termination.

(a) Admission of New Parties. It is recognized that additional Parties other than the original Parties, may wish to join GCAHT. Any city within the Gateway Cities subregion may become a Party to GCAHT upon such terms and conditions as established by the Board of Directors.

As a condition precedent to becoming a Party more than six months after the Effective Date, an eligible entity may thereafter become a Party to this Agreement; provided that (1) this Agreement is adopted by its governing body and (2) the eligible entity pays a late joining fee. The late joining fee shall be calculated by totaling the annual fee the eligible entity would have paid under this Agreement had it been a Party in all years prior and up until the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an eligible entity’s late joining fee shall not exceed two times the amount of the applicable annual administrative fee existing at the time it becomes a Party. Payment shall be due within 30 days of receipt of an invoice from GCAHT.

Relevant Experience: At least three references for similar large-scale parades or special events.
● Profile 1 - Girls Build: Under the leadership of our CEO, Edgar Campos, as the former CAO for LAPF, the Girls Build event is a program that empowers young women to become community leaders through project-based learning, mentorship, and large-scale summits. The initiative, which started in 2014, provides teams with grants to implement community-based projects focused on issues like civic engagement, health, and STEM. The annual summit brings together thousands of middle and high school girls to be inspired by leaders and connect with peers to tackle critical issues. The last annual summit was a large-scale event designed to engage, inspire, and empower girls through interactive programs at the YouTube Theater on the SoFi Stadium campus. The summit has in the past featured influential leaders, entrepreneurs, and change-makers, with past speakers including Michelle Obama, Kamala Harris, and Janelle Monáe. Over 80 partner organizations have taken part in the event.

Over 120 volunteers and paid staff play a role in the successful event logistics and execution. This event was streamed live by Microsoft for social media audiences. The budget accounted for roughly $500K in spending and $300K in net fundraising gains.
● Profile 2 - Walk United: Under the leadership of our CEO, Edgar Campos, as the a former Board Member to the United Way for Greater Los Angeles, Walk United is works with local community, philanthropic organizations, and 7,500 participants raised nearly $1.2M during WalkUnitedLA in 2024 at SoFi Stadium on May 11. The annual family-friendly walk brings communities together from across the county to power the fight to break cycles of poverty and build communities of prosperity in Los Angeles. 2024’s WalkUnitedLA Honorary Chairs were Rams players: Steve Avila, Ernest Jones, Kobie Turner, and Kyren Williams. Andrew Whitworth, 2021 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year and Super Bowl LVI Champion, served as the event’s co-host. In addition, Rams fans had the opportunity to meet the Rams 2024 Rookie Class in their first community appearance following the NFL Draft. Since 2007, WalkUnitedLA (formerly known as HomeWalk) has brought together nearly 150,000 people from across Los Angeles County and raised over $10 million to end homelessness, becoming the single largest annual event to end homelessness nationwide. Generally the event costs roughly $500K to produce on a yearly basis. ● Profile 3 - Xmas Toy Drive, City of Cudahy: The annual Christmas Toy Drive stands as a testament to the leadership and community vision of Christian Hernandez, Co-Founder and Secretary of the Fuerza Foundation, who previously served as Vice Mayor of Cudahy, California (2016–2018). During his tenure, Christian directly oversaw the planning and execution of this large-scale holiday event, ensuring that local families received meaningful support and that children experienced the joy of the season. Held at Cudahy Park, the Toy Drive brought together more than a dozen city partners, 50 staff and volunteers, and local sponsors to distribute thousands of toys and essential items. With approximately $60,000 in community contributions, the initiative provided hundreds of children with gifts and lasting holiday memories. Featuring live entertainment and appearances by figures such as El Carnalillo and Del Records, the event demonstrated Christian’s ability to unite civic leaders, artists, and organizations in service of the community, a reflection of his dedication to collaboration, inclusion, and public service.
● Profile 4 - 4th of July Festivities, City of Cudahy: The annual 4th of July Festivities in Cudahy served as another example of Christian Hernandez’s dedication to civic engagement and community celebration. As Vice Mayor of Cudahy, California (2016–2018), Christian played a key leadership role in overseeing the planning, coordination, and execution of one of the city’s largest public events, drawing thousands of residents and visitors to Cudahy Park for a day of unity, culture, and celebration. Under his direction, the festivities brought together multiple city departments, public safety teams, and local sponsors to deliver a family-friendly experience that included live performances, food vendors, children’s activities, and a fireworks showcase. The event fostered civic pride and strengthened community connections across Southeast Los Angeles, demonstrating Christian’s ability to unite stakeholders around shared goals and deliver large-scale events that highlight both tradition and local identity.

Section 3.

Technical Proposal – Approach to coordination, sponsorships, security, media production, accessibility, sustainability.

A. Coordination & Event Management: Our approach to coordination centers on proactive communication, collaborative planning, and precision execution. A dedicated Parade Operations Team will be assigned to manage logistics, staging, participant coordination, and real-time communication with City staff and law enforcement. We will:Develop a Parade Master Plan and Operations Manual outlining timelines, lineup order, crowd control measures, and emergency protocols. Conduct pre-event coordination meetings with City departments, including Police, Fire, and Public Works, to ensure alignment on safety, road closures, and accessibility. Deploy a staging and command post at the VIP Reception area to serve as the central hub for communication, dispatch, and problem resolution during the event. Utilize digital tools (e.g., Slack channels or EventOps software) for real-time coordination among staff, volunteers, and city personnel. This method will ensure every operational detail from float entry to finale—is synchronized, efficient, and reflective of Huntington Park’s long-standing holiday tradition.

B. Sponsorship: We will leverage existing civic, business, and nonprofit relationships to secure sponsorships that enhance both event quality and fiscal sustainability. Our approach includes:Designing tiered sponsorship packages (Presenting, Gold, Silver, and Community Partner) aligned with City branding guidelines. Actively soliciting partnerships from local corporations, regional media outlets, and community organizations. Providing transparent reporting of all sponsorship contributions and in-kind donations in compliance with City requirements. Coordinating sponsor recognition through banners, stage acknowledgments, social media tagging, and digital content integration during the livestream. Dedicating a portion of sponsorship proceeds to expand free public bleacher seating and youth organization participation. This sponsorship strategy not only offsets production costs but also strengthens community pride and private–public collaboration.

C. Security & Safety Plan: Public safety is central to our technical execution.

We will contract a licensed California Private Patrol Operator (PPO)-certified security firm with verified insurance coverage.Deploy approximately 56–60 uniformed guards for an 8-hour operational window, consistent with historical staffing levels. Integrate all security personnel into the parade’s communication system via radio network linked to the City’s Emergency Operations Command. Assign specialized teams for VIP protection, crowd management, barricade control, and traffic coordination. Conduct a security walkthrough 48 hours prior to the event and submit a detailed Security Operations Plan to the City 14 days before parade day. Our model emphasizes visibility, deterrence, and coordination ensuring a festive yet secure environment for all attendees.

D. Media Production & Communications: We will deliver a broadcast-quality production suitable for multi-platform streaming and archiving. Our media plan includes multi-camera, high-definition coverage with professional lighting, audio, and on-screen graphics, live broadcasting on City-designated social media channels (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram) with simultaneous recording for redundancy, a professional host team providing bilingual (English/Spanish) narration and interviews with parade participants, a post-event highlight reel and full-length digital archive delivered to the City for future marketing use. Integration of sponsor recognition segments, live captions for accessibility, and coordination with the City’s Pacific Boulevard billboard for pre-event promotion. This strategy ensures broad reach, brand consistency, and long-term promotional value for the City of Huntington Park.

E. Accessibility & Inclusion: Accessibility is embedded throughout our event design.

We will install ADA-compliant bleachers and rest areas with designated wheelchair spaces and accessible pathways, provide ASL interpreters for stage and announcement segments, ensure accessible restroom facilities, handwashing stations, and signage with multilingual and icon-based directions, and offer digital access to livestreams with closed captioning for remote audiences. Our team will coordinate with the City’s ADA Coordinator to confirm all setups meet federal and state accessibility standards.

F. Sustainability & Environmental Stewardship: Our sustainability plan supports the City’s environmental goals through responsible resource management and waste reduction. We will implement a recycling and waste diversion plan in coordination with the City’s contracted hauler, ensure all vendors use recyclable or compostable food service materials, coordinate with Public Works for pre- and post-event street sweeping and trash receptacle deployment, minimize energy use through LED lighting, battery-efficient equipment, and eco-conscious power generators, prioritize local vendors and small businesses from Huntington Park to reduce transportation emissions and maximize community benefit.Through these measures, the 2025 Holiday Parade will model environmental responsibility alongside cultural celebration.

CITY OF HUNTINGTON PARK
Police Department
City Council Agenda Report
October 28, 2025
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Huntington Park
6550 Miles Avenue
Huntington Park, CA 90255
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:

CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL TO ACCEPT REIMBURSABLE GRANT FUNDING IN THE AMOUNT OF $55,000 FROM THE STATE HOMELAND SECURITY PROGRAM (SHSP) GRANT YEAR 2024, AND TO APPROVE THE SUBRECIPIENT

AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES AND THE CITY OF

HUNTINGTON PARK, INCLUDING AUTHORIZATION TO UTILIZE THESE FUNDS

FOR THE PURCHASE OF POLICE EQUIPMENT
IT IS RECOMMENDED THE CITY COUNCIL:

1. Accept the reimbursable grant funding in the amount of $55,000; and

2. Approve a budget appropriation in the amount of $55,000 for the purchase of Mobile Data Computers (MDCs) for the police department; and

3. Authorize the City Manager to be designated as the Grantee Official for the purpose of executing grant objectives, grant agreement, and documentation; and

4. Authorize the Chief of Police to purchase the equipment.

BACKGROUND
Each year the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, through the Office of Grants and Training, provides financial assistance for the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) directly to the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CalOES). CalOES then provides funds to the County of Los Angeles as its subgrantee. The County of Los Angeles then distributes the awarded funds to local municipalities within the County. The Police Department applied for grant funds available through this program and was awarded $55,000.00.

The financial assistance provided through this grant is specifically designated to support the City and the Police Department with unique equipment, training, and planning needs.

The purpose of these funds is to help build and sustain effective prevention, protection,

response, and recovery capabilities against threats or acts of terrorism, as well as other hostile criminal activities.

Most of the Police Department’s existing MDCs are outdated and no longer capable of supporting current or upcoming software applications required for field operations.

Replacing these aging MDCs is essential to maintaining reliable communication, operational efficiency, and officer safety in the field.

These grant funds are intended to supplement existing resources and may not be used to supplant local funds already allocated for similar purposes.

The performance period for this grant award will expire February 28, 2027.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the acquisition of 23 MDCs from Dell Technologies. Dell MDCs are rugged, reliable, and widely utilized by law enforcement agencies across the region, offering proven durability and performance in demanding field environments. Furthermore, the City currently uses Dell desktop computers throughout all departments, which ensures system compatibility, standardization, and ease of maintenance across the organization.

Dell Technologies is an approved vendor under the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) cooperative purchasing agreement, which exempts the City from the requirement to obtain multiple bids for this purchase. Utilizing NASPO allows the City to take advantage of pre-negotiated government pricing and procurement efficiencies while maintaining compliance with applicable purchasing policies.

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
The total project cost is $56,602.55, which includes equipment, delivery, and a five-year maintenance and service agreement. Of this amount, $55,000 will be reimbursed to the City through the grant. The remaining $1,602.55 will be funded by the City’s General Fund and charged to account number 742-7010-421.74-10 to complete the purchase.
