Agenda packet, regular meeting — Huntington Park City Council, September 8, 2026 (part 2 of 2)

include adopting the Study, approving and adopting the new ordinance language to implement the process for the collection and use of fees. Once the ordinance is in effect the City would then follow the required noticing and public hearing requirements to bring forth a resolution to adopt the fees.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the adoption of development impact fees is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act in that pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, section 15378(b)(4), which states the creation of government funding mechanisms that do not involve any commitment to any specific project that may cause a significant effect on the environment, is not defined as a “project” under CEQA. The adoption of the Study and consideration of the proposed ordinance also constitutes activities not considered a project according to section 15060(c)(3) since there is no anticipation of a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment pursuant to section 15060(c)(2).

FISCAL IMPACT:

Adoption of the ordinance and the associated DIFs will result in additional funds being recovered to offset the infrastructure impacts from new development. Maintaining a DIF program and keeping the fees current to reflect contemporary development patterns and infrastructure needs can have a positive fiscal impact to the City. DIFs provide a stream of funding to support capital improvements required by new development. When implemented carefully, the City’s competitiveness to development remains steady relative to its neighboring cities as other neighboring cities have also implemented similar programs; they ensure other goals, like housing production, can also be met; and they provide the opportunity to still gain community benefits through the Planned Development/Development Agreement process. The cost to the City to maintain a DIF program is the staff time required to apply the fees upon building permit issuance, monitor the program to ensure appropriate collection and use, and manage the construction of capital projects once funds are collected. These costs can simultaneously be paid for by the DIF funds through the administrative charge and by charging staff time for project development as a project cost.

CONCLUSION:

DIFs mitigate the impacts of new development and fund needed public facilities and infrastructure to maintain quality of life. However, DIFs are only one piece of the larger puzzle that the City can use to build neighborhoods while also ensuring that new development of all types pays its fair share of infrastructure costs. Other tools such as Planned Developments allow the City to request new infrastructure be built or funded by new development. Infrastructure required as part of Planned Developments can often be built sooner than infrastructure funded through DIFs.

The establishment of a DIF program outlined in the proposed ordinance would ensure that new development pays its fair share of the new facilities and infrastructure necessary to accommodate impacts resulting from that new development in real time. With the adoption of the Study and the proposed Ordinance, the City Council will be setting the appropriate level of DIFs that strike the balance between generating important revenue for needed infrastructure while at the same time supporting other City goals required to build and protect neighborhoods.

Based on all the analysis provided in this report, City Council leadership, and the City management’s prior input and guidance, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution adopting the Development Impact Fee Study, introduce the attached ordinance for a first reading and direct staff to follow the noticing requirements to bring back a DIF fee resolution for the City Council’s consideration.

MEMORANDUM
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: City Attorney’s Office
Date:

Subject: City of – People v. – Role of Special Counsel
What is ’ Role in the People v. Matter?
The former City Attorney brought in the law firm of for special counsel matters. On 2017, the City adopted Resolution No. approving the service agreement with (“Agreement”). (Resolution No. , Exhibit 1.) It appears that (“Mr. is the primary billing attorney from s. At the time the Agreement was executed, Mr. was a partner with On or about , Mr. started his own firm – &
Associates – and started serving in an of counsel capacity with .

Is a Quo Warranto Lawsuit Contemplated by the Scope of Services in the Agreement?
The nature of legal services to be provided by can be defined through a review of (1) the recitals set forth in Resolution No. and (2) Section 2 of the Agreement.

As to the former, the recitals in Resolution No. provide:

WHEREAS, the City on occasion requires special legal services to address public employment and workers’ compensation legal matters that fall outside the purview of the City Attorney or when the City Attorney’s Office may be conflicted on a particular matter;

OLIVAREZ MADRUGA LAW ORGANIZATION, LLP

CONFIDENTIAL

WHEREAS, there is a need to add qualified law firms to the City’s special counsel panel of personnel and workers’ compensation attorneys; and
WHEREAS, the City desired to enter into an agreement with the law firm of to provide special legal services
relating to personnel and workers’ compensation matters. (Agreement, Recitals.)
As to the latter, the Agreement describes the nature of legal services to be provided as follows:
“Public personnel and workers’ compensation legal defense, litigation, and advisement as requested by Client. Said legal services and representation are assigned to Law Firm.” (Agreement, § 2 (emphasis added).)
The pursuit of a quo warranto action appears to be outside the scope of intended representation, but there is an argument to be made that this matter would fall into the “other” bucket, especially with approval from the former City Council.

How Was the People v. Lawsuit Initiated?
This lawsuit started with conversations among staff and culminated in the former City Attorney’s Office applying for and receiving leave to sue in quo warranto from the Attorney General’s Office on . (Exhibit 2.) The former City Attorney’s Office worked with Mr. and filed the complaint in quo warranto on . (Exhibit 3.) Initially, Mr. denied any involvement in the filing phase of the lawsuit, but when confronted with contrary evidence (specifically, that his name appears on the complaint), he admitted that he did review and help with the filing of the complaint. After the filing, Mr. took over the case.

Contrary to the Terms of the Agreement, Mr. Has Not Provided Updates to the City Regarding the People v. Lawsuit.

According to Mr. he worked more closely with the former City’s Attorney’s Office in the beginning stages, and as the lawsuit progressed, Mr. took direction from and provided updates to (“Ms. of the Opinions Unit from the Attorney General’s Office.

In , Mr. reached out to our office to provide an overview of the litigation.

Given that the lawsuit was already initiated and based on research regarding quo warranto matters, our office determined that we could not object to or direct Mr. to stand down or take any other action.

Since Mr. conversations with our office in , we have not received any updates regarding the matter. Our understanding is that Mr. has also failed to provide updates to anybody else at the City.

As mentioned above, Mr. claims to have been working closely with Ms. and may use this as an excuse for not providing the City with updates, but our office found G

CONFIDENTIAL

Page 3 ends

correspondence from Mr. to Ms. dated that provides “I am working on revising the Trial Brief but [am] waiting for some information from the former City Attorney.” It is unclear whether Mr. has been receiving direction from the former City Attorney’s Office regarding this matter.

What is clear, is that Mr. has not been receiving direction from or providing updates to our office or others currently at the City.

Pursuant to Section 3 of the Agreement, Mr. has an obligation to provide updates to the City:

RESPONSIBILITIES OF ATTORNEY AND CLIENT. Law Firm
will perform the legal services called for under this Agreement, keep Client informed of progress and developments, and respond promptly to Client’s inquiries and communications. Client will be truthful and cooperative with Law Firm and keep Law Firm reasonably informed of developments; as well as make timely payments under this Agreement.
(Agreement, § 3.)
The City has not received a meaningful update on this matter since and Mr. has moved this matter through the discovery process and trial without providing a single update to the City. This is a strange practice, as attorneys generally provide updates to clients regarding important developments (e.g., scheduling of depositions, filings of briefs, or preparing for trial, etc.).

It is anticipated that Mr. will argue that he was updating Ms. and that these updates were sufficient. However, Ms. role is the matter is that of co-counsel; she is not the “client” as that term is defined in the Agreement.

Contrary to the Terms of the Agreement, Mr. Has Failed to Provide Regular Billing Statements to the City for the People v. Lawsuit.

Mr. failed to send invoices to the City in regular thirty-day intervals. Section 6 of the Agreement dictates the timeline for billing:

BILLING STATEMENTS. The legal services rendered and the costs advanced by Law Firm on Client’s behalf and will be billed on a 30-day cycle. Services rendered and costs advanced will be itemized on each bill. Statements for services rendered will describe the nature of service performed and identify the costs advanced. Billing disputes are subject to Arbitration.
(Agreement, § 6.)

CONFIDENTIAL

Page 4 ends

While there is language stating that the billing is to occur in thirty-day cycles, Mr. may raise a technical objection and argue that there is no language dictating when bills are to be sent from the firm to the City. However, this argument is unlikely to succeed.

On September 18, 2019, Mr. assistant (“Ms. emailed the City and provided invoices for activity occurring between throug May 2019.

It is worth noting the Mr. has changed his story on the transmission of his bills no less than three times. Mr. first asserted that there was no delay in the transmission of his invoices to the City, that he sent invoices regularly and on a monthly basis, and that the email was nearly a reminder to the City that the previously-provided invoices had not been paid.

Staff denied this version of events, and Mr. then said that his invoices might have been provided quarterly. Mr. latest position is that he mailed invoices to the City “within two weeks of the invoice date.” Staff also denies this and is currently looking into past billing practices from Mr. firm and whether he has mailed invoices in the past. Our office has requested that Mr. provide proof that his bills were submitted in a timely manner and we are still awaiting a response.

To date, Mr. has not sent invoices for activity occurring between June and September It is likely that these invoices will include more costs as the level of activity has increased (e.g., trial preparation and trial attendance, etc.). At this time, it is unclear how much Mr. has billed for his prosecution of People v.

The untimely transmission of Mr. invoices is related to the lack of updates received.

That is, even if Mr. failed to provide updates to the City, the evidence of billing would be a way for the City to ascertain that Mr. was undertaking some work related to this matter.

The City May Decide to Dispute the Invoices Submitted by Mr.

There are a few separate grounds for the City to dispute the invoices submitted by Mr. (1) it is unclear that the former City Council provided explicit direction to Mr. to pursue the People v. matter; (2) the Agreement imposes a limit of ten thousand dollars per fiscal year; and (3) the Code of Civil Procedure provides Mr. with other means for recovering his costs.

First, based on staff’s review of City records, People v. was likely authorized in On , the former City Council met in closed session to discuss potential litigation pursuant to Government Code section 54956.9, subdivision (d)(4), which creates an exception to the Brown Act where “[b]ased on existing facts and circumstances, the legislative body of the local agency has decided to initiate or is deciding to initiate litigation.” While the Brown Act allows the City Council to meet in closed session, any final action taken in closed session must be reported out, including any approval for legal counsel to initiate litigation. (Gov. Code, section 54957.1, subd. (a)(2) [“[i]n the case of approval given to initiate or intervene in an action . . . . [the report] shall specify that the direction to initiate or intervene in an action has been given and that the action, the defendants, and the other particulars shall, once formally commenced, be disclosed to any person upon inquiry”].)
\.

CONFIDENTIAL

Page 5 ends

The Closed Session Report read for this meeting as follows: “Assistant City Attorney stated that four Council Members were present in the Closed Session and Council Member was absent. He stated that the City Council provided direction and no final action was taken.”
If this was the meeting where the former City Council authorized action in the lawsuit, the action of initiating litigation should have been read out as part of the closed session report. There is a narrow exception to allow some delay in reporting where final approval rests with another party or the court. This narrow exception provides that the report may be announced when the initiation become final and upon inquiry of any person. It could be argued that final authority rested with the Attorney General’s Office. However, once leave to sue in quo warranto was provided – on , it should have been reported out.

Second, the Agreement includes a limit of ten thousand dollars per fiscal year. Pursuant to Section 5 of the Agreement: “COSTS. [ ] Payments for this agreement shall not exceed tenthousand dollars ($10,000) per fiscal year without consent of the City Council.”1 The relevant fiscal years are: Fiscal Year spanning through ) and Fiscal Year (spanning through ).

To date, the City has paid a total of $ towards to Mr. for his efforts related to People v. split between Fiscal Year and Fiscal Year For Fiscal Year the City paid $ . This exceeded the $ cut off. For Fiscal Year the City paid $ . Based on the $ cut off, $ is remaining for Fiscal Year For the period between through Mr. is requesting the payment in the amount of $ . As previously mentioned, Mr. is also requesting payment for the period between and , but has not provided his invoices for this timeframe. Regardless of the amount requested, Mr. work already exceeds the threshold in the Agreement for Fiscal Year This may be a basis for disputing the invoiced amount.

With that said, it is anticipated that Mr. will argue that he may exceed the $ threshold because his work was authorized by the former City Council and also because he conversed with our office in
Third, based on the nature of quo warranto matters, Mr. can look elsewhere to be made whole for his efforts. The relevant portions of the Code of Civil Procedure envision that if a party prosecuting a quo warranto matter is successful, the “defendant, against whom such action has been brought . . . [is responsible for] the costs of the action.” (Code Civ. Proc., § 809.) Moreover, the Code of Civil Procedure provides that the Attorney General may require a party prosecuting a quo warranto matter to “pay any judgment for costs or damages recovered against the plaintiff, and all the costs and expenses incurred in the prosecution of the action.” (Code Civ.

Proc., § 810.)
1 The placement of this clause in the “costs” section make create a contract interpretation issue.

Costs are generally defined as incidental out-of-pocket expenses incurred and can be contrasted with fees paid to attorneys for legal services rendered. Nonetheless, the City has a strong argument that this section applies more broadly to any payments made under the Agreement. gr!"--

RE: Huntington Park Supplemental Responses
Dear City Manager Reyes:

Thank you again for the opportunity to be considered as the city attorney for the City of Huntington Park. As requested, below are our responses to the supplemental questions you asked us to provide.

1. PROPOSED CITY ATTORNEY AND BACKUP

Paloma Perez - McEvoy – Proposed City Attorney – We propose Ms. Perez-McEvoy to serve as the City Attorney for the City of Huntington Park (“HP”). She brings more than 20 years of public policy, planning, and land use, and government relations experience to the Firm. Based on our research and understanding of the legal issues facing HP, we believe Ms. Perez-McEvoy’s is the best person to serve in this role. As the Co-Chair of OMLO’s municipal law group, Ms. PerezMcEvoy is well versed in general municipal law matters and is an expert on planning and zoning laws, CEQA compliance, and has represented public agencies in complex real estate transactions. She also regularly drafts ordinances, specific plans, and development agreements for OMLO’s municipal clients. Ms. Perez-McEvoy regularly attends city council meetings, planning commission meetings and shares the city attorney role with Mr. Olivarez for several cities located in the San Gabriel Valley.

Adrian De Leon – Assistant City Attorney – Mr. De Leon will serve as the Assistant City Attorney for HP. He is an expert in complex real estate transactions and is a licensed real estate broker. Mr.

De Leon has drafted hundreds of resolutions, ordinances, commercial contracts, leases, loan documents, and labor agreements. Currently, Mr. De Leon serves as the Assistant City Attorney for the City of La Puente and South El Monte, and is also involved in real estate transactions, personnel and land use matters, for several of OMLO’s other clients. Mr. De Leon would also act as a liaison between HP and OMLO and would be available to provide support and back up when Ms. Perez-McEvoy is unavailable.

Joanna Burstedt – Junior Assistant City Attorney – Mr. Burstedt is an Associate in OMLO’s municipal practice group. She has quickly established herself as the “go-to” person for contract drafting and review, legal research and labor and employment matters. Ms. Burstedt provides day-to-day legal support on these and other matters for OMLO’s municipal clients and has also provided training to City staff on the public records act, sexual harassment and ethics.

The proposed team referenced above differs from our proposal because OMLO has experienced exponential growth since our RFP submission. As a result, the firm has had to reassign the initial team proposed in order to service the immediate needs of OMLO’s existing clientele. If selected as HP’s city attorney, the team proposed will immediately transition its current workload to others within the firm so that each member can provide HP with the time and attention it needs and deserves.

2. AVAILABILITY AND MEETING COVERAGE

Paloma Perez-McEvoy – Ms. Perez-McEvoy shares the City Attorney role with Mr. Olivarez for the City of El Monte. As such, she regularly attends City Council meetings when Mr. Olivarez is unavailable. Ms. Perez-McEvoy also serves as primary counsel to the City of Santa Fe Springs on real estate matters, the Surplus Land Act and employment matters. She also helps the firm’s other public agency clients from time to time with these types of issues.

Ms. McEvoy does not have any recurring meeting obligations that conflict with Huntington Park’s City Council or Planning Commission meetings. If a conflict arises, however, priority would be given to HP.

We are uncertain how many hours per week of legal support HP needs. However, OMLO and Ms.

Perez-McEvoy are committed to offering as many hours as HP desires to expeditiously complete outstanding projects and legal matters.

OMLO agrees to serve as many office hours as HP needs on a weekly basis.

As mentioned herein above, the proposed HP team will reduce and/or transfer pending legal matters to other OMLO staff and dedicate all of its time and resources to servicing HP’s needs.

Paloma Perez-McEvoy will attend City Council meetings. If she is unavailable, Adrian De Leon will sit in the chair. If both Perez-McEvoy and De Leon are unavailable, Mr. Olivarez is available to step in. OMLO also has 42 other lawyers available to help, if needed.

Adrian De Leon will serve as legal counsel to the Planning Commission. If Mr. De Leon is unavailable, Mr. Lloyd Pilchen will substitute in. Mr. Pilchen currently represents several Planning Commissions, is a licensed surveyor with expertise in subdivisions, boundaries, easements, title issues and land use matters.

3. STAFFING AND DIVISION OF RESPONSIBILITIES
General Municipal Advice – Paloma Perez-McEvoy
Labor and Employment – Joana Burstedt
Police and Public-Safety Matters – Tom Madruga
Public Records Act and Pitchess Matters – Stephanie Arechiga, Joana Burstedt / Aiden Armstrong Land Use, Housing, and CEQA – Paloma Perez-McEvoy
Risk Management and Claims Coordination – Tom Madruga
Outside Services: OMLO’s outsources bond counsel services. We would also outsource matters in which OMLO has a conflict of interest. While not common, this does occasionally happen.

*** Please note that there are other attorneys with expertise in these areas and can be utilized by HP if necessary. If selected, we recommend scheduling a meet and greet with City staff at OMLO’s downtown LA office so that you can meet the proposed team members in person. You can also tour our offices, and personally meet all of our attorneys, paralegals, legal assistants and administrative staff.

We acknowledge that HP outsources certain work, such as code enforcement, to other firms. We agree to work collaboratively with these firms and with HP to ensure continuity of services. We agree to coordinate with HP’s existing legal counsel and avoid duplication of work and to adhere to the City’s billing mandate. We also acknowledge and agree that the City may prohibit specified OMLO personnel from participating in City matters or receiving City information.

4. RESPONSIVENESS AND ASSIGNMENT MANAGEMENT
Recognizing that serving the public often demands the ability to respond quickly to unexpected and rapidly evolving developments, our office stresses the importance of being available to City staff and responding promptly to staff queries. To meet this objective, we have equipped our attorney team with some of the most up-to-date communications equipment so that attorneys can be easily reached either by telephone, e-mail or text during the work day or night. We also maintain a very professional and highly resourceful home office support staff that is also available during regular business hours to troubleshoot a broad range of administrative and/or logistical challenges.

Additionally, the Firm maintains business software systems as well as customary internet legal research systems: Lexis and Westlaw. The Firm’s attorneys are all equipped with laptops and smart phones allowing them to communicate with clients and colleagues from virtually any location.

Any work requests should be transmitted to the City Attorney so that she can handle the assignment in a timely fashion. Once a case is assigned, the attorneys possess the organization and information systems infrastructure needed to effectively manage multiple complex cases. State of the art management software ensures that we meet all deadlines. The Firm’s legal support staff maintains a separate electronic matter logs to keep attorneys and support staff further apprised of critical deadlines and pending tasks. The Firm attorneys and support staff also conduct routine team meetings to review assignments and evaluate staffing needs for various engagements. Time and expenses are monitored closely as each project progresses, and significant developments are shared with the client.

In addition to the foregoing, we would recommend a weekly meeting with the City Manager and City Department Heads to discuss different legal matters and upcoming projects that the Firm will be working on. This will allow us to create timelines to complete the projects and tasks. That said, we are amenable to whatever arrangement the City Manager would like us to follow so that the work is performed properly and completed on time.

5. INITIAL TRANSITION
We propose a three-step approach for OMLO’s transition into the role of city attorney. The first step would be for OMLO and city staff to compile an inventory of active litigation, claims, labor and employment matters, contracts under review, development and land-use projects, public records act requests and pending ordinances and resolution. For those cases the City would like us to handle, we would formally substitute OMLO in as counsel of record. During this initial phase, it would also be helpful for us to understand the City’s goals and priorities, annual budget, departmental strategic plans, if any, and any hot button issue needing immediate attention.

Second, we propose leadership meetings with the City Manager and his department heads so we can meet the team and learn about each department and its priorities, goals, and needs. At these meetings, we would establish protocol procedures for legal opinion and assignment requests, city management and city council communication, emergency legal responses, and litigation reporting. During this phase, we will begin to familiarize ourselves with HP’s municipal code, personnel policies, risk management procedures, collective bargaining agreements and ethics and conflict of ethics policies. We would also request individual meetings with the City Manager and Council Members to introduce ourselves and the Firm’s capabilities.

The third step is for OMLO to integrate itself into the culture of the City and to identify systems for delivery legal advice in a timely, cost-effective manner. To achieve this goal, within the first 90 days we would offer training to City staff on public records act, employment, good governance practices, and ethics. The purpose of the training would be to educate City staff on common topics and legal issues, which can be addressed without legal intervention thereby reducing legal fees. We would also request an annual performance evaluation of our firm so that City staff and the City Council can provide us with goals and objectives and areas for improvement.

OMLO will not charge the City for time spent reviewing the City’s municipal code, governance manuals, collective bargaining agreements, employee handbook, or any other city policies or manual. The Firm also will not charge HP for the initial introductory meetings with City staff or for any social gatherings.

6. BEST AND FINAL OFFER
OMLO’s services shall consist of both General Services and Special Matters.

General Services shall be billed to, and compensated by, the City (i) at a composite hourly rate for all attorneys of $300 per hour for up to 90 hours in each calendar month, and (ii) at a composite hourly rate for all attorneys of $340 per hour for any hours in excess of 90 hours in each calendar month. General Services shall include:

1. Attendance at City Council/Planning Commission meetings, and any other meeting directed by the City Manager;

2. Attendance at staff meetings when directed by the City Manager;

3. Legal research and legal advice to the City Council, Planning Commission, other City commissions, various committees and subcommittees, the City Manager and City staff ;

4. Preparation and review of ordinances, resolutions, and agreements as requested;

5. Oversight of legal matters handled by outside counsel;

6. Legal services for entities created by the City Council; and

7. Such other legal services as may be directed by the City Council or City Manager from time to time.

Thus, if OMLO bills 90 hours’ worth of time to General Services in any given month, the amount to be paid to OMLO by the City equals $27,000. This amount represents OMLO’s proposed monthly retainer amount.

Special Matters is defined as all advisory (non-litigation) services for labor and employment, environmental matters, specialized real estate, and water. Special services shall be commenced only after OMLO has received authorization from the City Manager or City Council to undertake that work. Special Matters include only advisory work and shall not include legal services provided in connection with litigation. Special Matters will be billed to, and compensated by, the City at a composite hourly rate of $350 for Partners and Of Counsel, $335 for Senior Associates, and $325 for Associates.

Litigation services will be billed to, and compensated by, the City at a composite hourly rate for all attorneys of $350 per hour.

7. POLITICAL ACTIVITY AND RELATIONSHIPS

1. To the best of the Firm’s recollection: None

2. To the best of the Firm’s recollection: None

3. To the best of the Firm’s recollection, OMLO was hired to serve as the interim city attorney for the City of Bell Gardens in or about January 2019, which was several months after the 2018 November election. In or around mid-year 2019, OMLO was appointed to be the permanent city attorney. To the best of the Firm’s recollection, no campaign contributions were made prior to appointment as interim or permanent city attorney.

4. On December 16, 2024, following the November 2024 election, OMLO was approved by the City Council under the City Manager’s signing authority to serve as the interim City Attorney for the City of South El Monte. On January 14, 2025, the City Council approved OMLO to continue serving as the interim City Attorney pending completion of an RFP process. After the RFP process was completed, the City Council unanimously approved OMLO on June 3, 2025 to serve at City Attorney.

The Firm does not have a formal policy governing political contributions. OMLO does, however, donate to political campaigns, including to council members of cities we currently represent. We also regularly donate to candidates for local, state, and federal campaigns. All donations made by the Firm are properly reported in accordance with existing local, state, and federal law. The firm does NOT bundle, use third party consultants, or engage in illegal activity concerning campaign donations. We believe in full transparency and do not try to hide the donations we make. If selected, OMLO agrees NOT to make campaign contributions to any current city council members or to any candidates running for city council.
