Accordingly, the provisions of this indemnity provision are intended by the Parties to be interpreted and construed to provide the CITY Indemnitees with the fullest protection possible under the law. CONTRACTOR acknowledges that CITY would not enter into this Agreement in the absence of CONTRACTOR’S commitment to indemnify, defend and protect CITY as set forth herein.

4.2 To the fullest extent permitted by law, CONTRACTOR shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the CITY Indemnitees from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, cost (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with CONTRACTOR’S performance of work hereunder or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement.

4.3 CITY shall have the right to offset against the amount of any compensation due CONTRACTOR under this Agreement any amount due CITY from CONTRACTOR as a result of CONTRACTOR’S failure to pay CITY promptly any indemnification arising under this Article and related to CONTRACTOR’S failure to either (i) pay taxes on amounts received pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) comply with applicable workers’ compensation laws.

4.4 The obligations of CONTRACTOR under this Article will not be limited by the provisions of any workers’ compensation act or similar act. CONTRACTOR expressly waives its statutory immunity under such statutes or laws as to CITY and CITY’S elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers.

4.5 CONTRACTOR agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth here in this Article from each and every CONTRACTOR or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of CONTRACTOR in the performance of this Agreement. In the event CONTRACTOR fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required herein, CONTRACTOR agrees to be fully responsible and indemnify, hold harmless and defend CITY and CITY’S elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers from and against any and all claims and losses, costs or expenses for any damage due to death or injury to any person and injury to any property resulting from any alleged intentional, reckless, negligent, or otherwise wrongful acts, errors or omissions of CONTRACTOR’S, SUBCONTRACTOR or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of CONTRACTOR in the performance of this Agreement. Such costs and expenses shall include reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by counsel of CITY’S choice.

4.6 CITY does not, and shall not, waive any rights that it may possess against CONTRACTOR because of the acceptance by CITY, or the deposit with CITY, of any insurance policy or certificate required pursuant to this Agreement. This hold harmless and indemnification provision shall apply regardless of whether or not any insurance policies are determined to be applicable to the claim, demand, damage, liability, loss, cost or expense.

4.7 This Article and all provisions contained herein (including but not limited to the duty to indemnify, defend and hold free and harmless) shall survive the termination or normal expiration of this Agreement and is in addition to any other rights or remedies which the CITY may have at law or in equity.

B. CONTRACTOR shall cure the following Events of Defaults within the following time periods:
i. Within three (3) business days of CITY’S issuance of a Default Notice for any failure of CONTRACTOR to timely provide CITY or CITY’S employees or agents with any information and/or written reports, documentation or work product which CONTRACTOR is obligated to provide to CITY or CITY’S employees or agents under this Agreement.

Prior to the expiration of the 3-day cure period, CONTRACTOR may submit a written request for additional time to cure the Event of Default upon a showing that CONTRACTOR has commenced efforts to cure the Event of Default and that the Event of Default cannot be reasonably cured within the 3-day cure period.

C. CITY shall cure any Event of Default asserted by CONTRACTOR within forty-five (45) calendar days of CONTRACTOR’S issuance of a Default Notice, unless the Event of Default cannot reasonably be cured within the 45-day cure period. Prior to the expiration of the 45- day cure period, CITY may submit a written request for additional time to cure the Event of Default upon a showing that CITY has commenced its efforts to cure the Event of Default and that the Event of Default cannot be reasonably cured within the 45-day cure period. The foregoing notwithstanding, an Event of Default dealing with CITY’S failure to timely pay any undisputed sums to CONTRACTOR as provided under Section 1.4, above, shall be cured by CITY within five (5) calendar days from the date of CONTRACTOR’S Default Notice to CITY.

D. CITY, in its sole and absolute discretion, may also immediately suspend CONTRACTOR’S performance under this Agreement pending CONTRACTOR’S cure of any Event of Default by giving CONTRACTOR written notice of CITY’S intent to suspend CONTRACTOR’S performance (hereinafter, a “Suspension Notice”). CITY may issue the Suspension Notice at any time upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Upon such suspension, CONTRACTOR shall be compensated only for those services and tasks which have been rendered by CONTRACTOR to the reasonable satisfaction of CITY up to the effective date of the suspension. No actual or asserted breach of this Agreement on the part of CITY shall operate to prohibit or otherwise restrict CITY’S ability to suspend this Agreement as provided herein.

E. No waiver of any Event of Default or breach under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent Event of Default or breach. No waiver, benefit, privilege, or service voluntarily given or performed by a Party shall give the other Party any contractual rights by custom, estoppel, or otherwise.

F. The duties and obligations imposed under this Agreement and the rights and remedies available hereunder shall be in addition to and not a limitation of any duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or available by law. In addition to any other remedies available to CITY at law or under this Agreement in the event of any breach of this Agreement, CITY, in its sole and absolute discretion, may also pursue any one or more of the following remedies:

CITY OF HUNTINGTON PARK
Police Department
City Council Agenda Report

June 23, 2026
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 OF ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING UPDATED ADMINISTRATIVE FINES FOR VIOLATIONS OF CHAPTER 20 OF TITLE 4 OF THE

HUNTINGTON PARK MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO FIREWORKS
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:

1. Adopt a Resolution establishing updated administrative fines for fireworks violations.

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
In 2013, the City Council adopted Chapter 20 of Title 4 of the Huntington Park Municipal Code regulating the possession, use, and discharge of fireworks within the city.

Pursuant to Section 4-20.07(a) and Section 4-20.08(a) of the existing code, the City Council is explicitly authorized to establish and amend the schedule of administrative fines for both permitted fireworks and dangerous fireworks violations by resolution. The current administrative fine schedule has remained unchanged since 2013.

The unlawful possession and discharge of dangerous fireworks continue to create substantial public safety concerns, resulting in fire hazards, personal injuries, property damage, and excessive noise. To provide immediate and meaningful deterrence ahead of the upcoming holiday, staff recommends updating the fine structure via resolution to align with the enforcement parameters explicitly defined in the existing municipal code.

To ensure strict legal compliance with the text of Chapter 20, the proposed fine schedule targets only the specific violations and language set forth in the current code:
 Permitted Fireworks Violations ($500 per violation): Applies to any person who possesses, fires, sets off, discharges, or uses permitted fireworks outside the authorized hours of July 4th between 10:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. (Section 4-

CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING UPDATED ADMINISTRATIVE FINES FOR VIOLATIONS OF CHAPTER 20 OF TITLE 4 OF THE

HUNTINGTON PARK MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO FIREWORKS
June 23, 2026

20.03), or who violates the additional restrictions outlined in Section 4-20.04, including unsupervised possession or use by a minor, sales to a minor, possession or discharge on City property/parks, discharging physically altered permitted fireworks, or igniting/using permitted fireworks within 10 feet of a dwelling or onto another's property.
 Dangerous Fireworks Possession, Sale, or Storage ($1,000 per violation):

Applies to any person who sells, possesses, keeps, or stores any dangerous fireworks within the City at any time, limited strictly to persons who possess 25 pounds or less of dangerous fireworks pursuant to Sections 4-20.02 and 4-

20.06(a).
 Dangerous Fireworks Use or Discharge ($5,000 per violation): Applies to any person who uses or discharges, or permits another to use or discharge, any dangerous fireworks within the City at any time, limited to persons who possess 25 pounds or less of dangerous fireworks pursuant to Sections 4-20.02 and 4-

20.06(a).

As established in Section 4-20.05(b), the issuance of an administrative citation does not limit the City's discretion to utilize any other remedy, civil or criminal, to redress any violation of this chapter. Furthermore, according to Sections 4-20.07(b) and 4-20.08(b), the payment of these fines shall not excuse the violator from complying with the provisions of the code.

LEGAL REQUIREMENT
California Government Code Section 53069.4 authorizes administrative citation programs for municipal code violations. Sections 4-20.07(a) and 4-20.08(a) of the Huntington Park Municipal Code legally empower the City Council to amend fine schedules via a simple resolution. This action relies entirely on the city's existing legislative authority and maintains the mandatory state-law boundary found in Section 4-20.06(a), which limits local administrative penalties for dangerous fireworks to quantities of 25 pounds or less.

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
The proposed administrative fines are intended to offset a portion of the operational costs incurred by the City in responding to fireworks violations and conducting local enforcement activities. No additional budget appropriation is required.

CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING UPDATED ADMINISTRATIVE FINES FOR VIOLATIONS OF CHAPTER 20 OF TITLE 4 OF THE

HUNTINGTON PARK MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO FIREWORKS

CONCLUSION
Unlawful fireworks continue to pose significant risks to public safety, property, and quality of life within the City of Huntington Park. This resolution will immediately strengthen the Police Department's capabilities by providing an enhanced economic deterrent that directly targets code-defined violations. Upon approval, staff will immediately implement the revised fine schedule.

Respectfully submitted,

RICARDO REYES
City Manager
Chief of Police

REPORTS AND INFORMATION
ITEM 1

CITY OF HUNTINGTON PARK
Office of the City Manager
City Council Agenda Report

June 23, 2026
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 OF AUTHORIZING THE RELEASE OF A REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS (RFQ) FOR A HYBRID PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP (P3) OPERATING PARTNER FOR THE CITY’S MUNICIPALLY OWNED BROADBAND

ENTERPRISE RECOMMENDATION
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:

1. Affirm the City's policy direction to retain municipal ownership, governance, and strategic control of the City's broadband infrastructure through a municipally owned broadband enterprise leveraging a hybrid public-private partnership (P3) operating model; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to identify qualified firms capable of operating and supporting the City's broadband network consistent with this policy direction; and

3. Authorize the City Manager to subsequently issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to qualified firms identified through the RFQ process; and

4. Direct the City Manager to negotiate a proposed operating agreement and return to the City Council for approval prior to execution.

PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
On November 7, 2024, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) awarded the City of Huntington Park approximately $25.3 million through the Federal Funding Account (FFA) Program. This grant funds the construction of a citywide fiber optic broadband network, enhancing access to affordable, dependable, and high-speed internet service throughout the community.

ENTERPRISE RECOMMENDATION
June 23, 2026

Page 2 of 4 ends

Since receiving the grant award, the City has advanced the project through several phases. These include project management, outreach procurement, design-build procurement, engineering coordination, and construction planning. The project is now entering the next phase: establishing the long-term operating structure for the broadband enterprise.

Staff recommend that the City preserve municipal ownership (City retains legal possession) and policy control (City sets rules and strategic governance) of the broadband infrastructure while leveraging private-sector expertise to operate and maintain the network through a hybrid public-private partnership model that combines public ownership and private management.

The hybrid public-private partnership model reduces operational, technical, customer service, and regulatory risks while enabling the City to leverage experienced broadband professionals and industry best practices.

The City will retain ownership of all fiber infrastructure, conduit systems, communications facilities, rights-of-way, customer data, enterprise revenues, and related broadband assets. The City will set policy objectives for affordability, digital equity, expansion, service expectations, and accountability. The City will contract with a qualified private operator for day-to-day network operations, maintenance, customer support, open-access administration, regulatory compliance, and related technical services. The City reserves the right to implement an open-access operating model that allows multiple qualified service providers to utilize the municipally owned network, thereby increasing competition, consumer choice, affordability, and long-term sustainability.

Staff believe this approach will best protect the City’s investment. It also provides flexibility for future expansion, technological changes, additional service providers, and municipal telecommunications initiatives.

The City’s objective is to maintain permanent public ownership and governance of the broadband network while utilizing private-sector expertise where beneficial to maximize operational effectiveness. Maintaining municipal ownership also allows revenues generated by the broadband enterprise to remain within the community and be reinvested into system maintenance, expansion, digital inclusion initiatives, and future technology upgrades.

To implement this policy, staff recommend a two-phase procurement process. The first phase is an RFQ to prioritize firms with demonstrated experience in municipal broadband operations, fiber-to-the-premise network, customer service management, regulatory compliance, digital equity initiatives, and public-sector partnerships. The second phase is a competitive RFP. Qualified firms will be invited to submit detailed proposals. These proposals will address operations, governance, customer service, compliance, maintenance, revenue, and advisory services.

CONSIDERATION OF AUTHORIZING THE RELEASE OF A REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS (RFQ) FOR A HYBRID PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP (P3) OPERATING PARTNER FOR THE CITY’S MUNICIPALLY OWNED BROADBAND

ENTERPRISE RECOMMENDATION
June 23, 2026

Page 3 of 4 ends

This procurement strategy aims to maximize competition. It will also ensure that any future agreement is consistent with the City’s policy goals for ownership, transparency, accountability, equity, affordability, and sustainability.

The City’s Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget includes an Information Technology Enterprise Fund. This fund will support the broadband enterprise’s long-term maintenance and operation. It shows the City’s pledge to keep this infrastructure a public asset for the community’s benefit.

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
The recommended action provides policy direction and authorizes the procurement process for a hybrid public-private partnership operating model for the City's municipally owned broadband enterprise. The issuance of the RFQ and subsequent RFP will be administered using existing staff and project resources and is not anticipated to require additional appropriations.

The City's adopted Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget includes the establishment of an Information Technology Enterprise Fund to support the long-term operation and maintenance of the broadband network. Any future operating agreement, enterprise capitalization, or additional funding requirements resulting from the procurement process will be presented to the City Council for consideration and approval as part of a subsequent action.

CONCLUSION
This broadband project is one of the City’s largest investments. Staff believe public interest is best served by keeping municipal ownership and oversight. The City can also benefit from private-sector expertise through a hybrid public-private partnership model.

Approving these actions will allow the City to advance toward establishing a sustainable municipally owned broadband enterprise that promotes digital equity, economic development, educational opportunities, public safety connectivity, and long-term community benefit while preserving local ownership and control.

Respectfully submitted,

RICARDO REYES
City Manager

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Huntington Park

Huntington Park, CA 90255
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:

APPROVAL OF A ONE YEAR EXTENSION OF THE HP WITH YOU COMMUNITY

RESILIENCE PILOT INITIATIVE AND THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT

SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON PARK AND SOUTHEAST LEADERSHIP NETWORK TO CONTINUE IMPLEMENTING THE “HP WITH YOU” COMMUNITY RESILIENCE PILOT INITIATIVE
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:

1. Approve a one-year extension of the HP With You Community Resilience Pilot Initiative for Fiscal Year 2026-2027: and

2. Approve First Amendment to Contract Services Agreement between the City of Huntington Park and Southeast Leadership Network for administration and implementation of the HP With You Initiative through June 30, 2027, in an amount not to exceed $150,000.

BACKGROUND
On June 16, 2025, in response to concerns about increased immigration enforcement and its effects on residents, Mayor Arturo Flores established the Community Impact Ad Hoc Committee. Councilmembers Jonathan Sanabria and Nancy Martiz, supported by the City Manager, were tasked with evaluating options for a compassionate, communitycentered response focused on education, legal aid, and social support. The City Council approved the Committee’s formation and allocated funding for the HP With You Community Support Initiative, establishing a framework for coordinated assistance to vulnerable residents through strategic partnerships.

Following Council direction, the city entered into an agreement with Southeast Leadership Network (SLN) to administer the HP With You initiative. The program offers civic education, legal assistance, rapid response resources, community outreach, and social service referrals to residents and families in need. In Fiscal Year 2025-2026, SLN

leveraged partnerships and volunteers to maximize the City’s investment and expand services.

On March 24, 2026, staff and Southeast Leadership Network representatives presented a program update to the City Council, highlighting the initiative’s accomplishments. Since its launch, the program has directly assisted 765 families, referred 225 cases to partner organizations, conducted about 200 hours of business outreach, engaged 240 businesses, distributed over 13,000 Know Your Rights cards, and provided legal representation and referrals to residents facing immigration-related challenges. The program also coordinated food distributions, resource fairs, educational workshops, and partnerships with local schools and non-profits.

On April 15, 2026, the Community Impact Ad Hoc Committee met to evaluate the pilot initiative and discuss future opportunities. Based on the program’s success, the Committee recommended extending the initiative for one year and allocating $150,000 for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. Additional recommendations included expanding services to address financial hardships, increasing collaboration among nonprofits, enhancing youth civic engagement, centralizing resource access, and exploring the creation of an independent community foundation.

To implement these recommendations, staff prepared an updated agreement with Southeast Leadership Network to continue administering the HP With You initiative through June 30, 2027. The proposed agreement maintains successful program components and expands services and outreach to better meet evolving community needs.

FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
No fiscal impact, the budget for this program was approved under the City’s Budget for the Fiscal Year 2026/2027.

CONCLUSION
Over the past year, the HP With You Initiative has provided residents with legal assistance, community resources, educational outreach, and critical support services through a network of community-based organizations. The program has assisted hundreds of families, expanded outreach to local businesses, strengthened partnerships with nonprofits, and connected residents with resources that promote stability, preparedness, and community well-being.

After reviewing the program's accomplishments and community impact, the Community Impact Ad Hoc Committee recommended extending the initiative for an additional year and expanding its scope to address a broader range of resident needs. These include

financial assistance referrals, enhanced community outreach, youth engagement opportunities, and improved coordination among local service providers.

Approving the recommended actions, including funding allocation and the contract amendment with Southeast Leadership Network, will allow the City to continue the HP With You Initiative through June 30, 2027. This one-year extension will build on the program's success, strengthen partnerships, and ensure residents continue to access services and resources that support a resilient and informed community. *Respectfully submitted,

The Americans with Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. 12131; 47 U.S.C. 155.201, 218 and 225) (ADA) provides comprehensive civil rights to individuals with disabilities in the areas of employment, public accommodations, State and local government services, and telecommunications. It further provides that discrimination includes a failure to design and construct facilities for first occupancy after January 26, 1993, that is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities. Further, the ADA requires the removal of architectural barriers and communication barriers that are structural in nature in existing facilities, where such removal is readily achievable. SUBRECIPIENT shall comply with the ADA.

G. Discrimination

1. The Subrecipient represents that it is an equal opportunity employer and that it shall not unlawfully discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, age, handicap, or any other classification protected by federal or state law. Such non-discrimination shall include, but not be limited to, all activities related to initial employment, upgrading, demotion, transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising, layoff or termination. In addition to the Subrecipient obligations under this MOU, the Subrecipient shall also comply with all relevant provisions of any Grantee minority business enterprise program, affirmative action plan or other related programs or guidelines currently in effect or hereinafter enacted.

2. The Subrecipient shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin or sex, exclude any person from participation in, deny any person the benefits of, or subject any person to

discrimination under any program or activity related to the Measure A-funded activity, or otherwise, whether in whole or in part with the Measure A Funds.

IX. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of this MOU is held invalid, the remainder of the MOU shall not be affected thereby, and all other parts of this MOU shall nevertheless be in full force and effect.

X. SECTION HEADINGS AND SUBHEADINGS
The section headings and subheadings contained in this MOU are included for convenience only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the terms of this MOU.

XI. WAIVER
The Grantee’s failure to act with respect to a breach by the Subrecipient does not waive its right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. The failure of the Grantee to exercise or enforce any right or provision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

XII. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This MOU constitutes the entire agreement between the Grantee and the Subrecipient for the use of funds received under this MOU, and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral, or written between the Grantee and the Subrecipient with respect to this MOU.
