CITY OF IRWINDALE APPROVING A MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT FOR SHARED POLICE DISPATCH SERVICES WITH THE CITIES OF AZUSA, COVINA, AND LA VERNE.” The motion was unanimously approved.

SPONTANEOUS

COMMUNICATIONS
Dena Zepeda noted unsanitary restrooms at the park, suggested that areas at the park that have been reserved include a notice with the name of the individual that rented it, and requested police enforcement of speed laws.

Teresa Ortiz submitted an emailed statement wherein she spoke in favor of hiring additional Police Dispatchers.

NEW BUSINESS
ITEM NO. 14A

CONSIDERATION FOR THE PURCHASE OF A CONTEMPORARY ARMORED VEHICLE Chief Hofford presented the staff report and made a PowerPoint presentation.

Dena Zepeda and Carmen Roman spoke against the purchase of the armored vehicle, stating that Irwindale does not have a need for such a vehicle and, if a need ever comes up, one could be borrowed from a surrounding city. Carmen Roman further suggested that the City instead build an emergency shelter and purchase emergency supplies for residents.

Mayor Pro Tem Ambriz spoke in support of purchasing any tools necessary to keep the community and officers safe and expressed support for the purchase of the vehicle. He then asked Chief Hofford about the price of the vehicle and how much of the expenditure would be derived from the General Fund, to which Chief Hofford advised that the cost of the vehicle could be offset by $100,000 in insurance proceeds received due to the totaling of a police vehicle, another $50,000 derived from the asset forfeiture fund, and postponing the purchase of optional equipment for the vehicle, which would reduce the cost of the purchase by another $44,000.

Mayor Pro Tem Ambriz then asked Chief Hofford whether the Police Department could increase traffic enforcement and assist dispatchers, to which Chief Hofford stated that he has already directed extra patrol to the areas of concern, and is focusing on hiring a second traffic officer to assist.

Chief Hofford then noted that many spoke against officers having patrol rifles since they did not consider them necessary until the North Hollywood shootout, after which rifles were considered necessary. He spoke on the need to equip officers and prepare them for the worst.

Councilmember Burrola stated that, while he supports every City department, it is the Police Department that keeps the City safe. He noted the City’s growth and stated that he is in favor of equipping officers to keep them safe and protected. He requested that staff be directed to prepare a staff report with additional details and to preferably keep the cost down.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 22, 2026
SPECIAL MEETING PAGE 6
Mayor Ortiz noted that the Council has previously agreed on the need for this type of vehicle.

However, considering the recent vehicular accident near Calle Barbosa and other issues raised, he suggested instead utilizing available funding to hire another motor officer and dispatcher. He acknowledged the cost-saving suggestions mentioned by Chief Hofford and stated that he hopes that lowering the cost of the vehicle would make its purchase more feasible.

Councilmember Breceda expressed his longstanding support for the Police Department but stated that funding could instead be better spent on preparing the City for the expected Super El Nino rains.

Councilmember Garcia also expressed his support of all departments but also voiced concern over what it would take to train officers to use the proposed vehicle, and whether it would result in higher overtime costs.

Carmen Roman reiterated her opposition to the purchase of the proposed armored vehicle.

Mayor Ortiz thanked Chief Hofford for the presentation but suggested holding off on the purchase at this time and potentially consider the matter in the future. Rather, he suggested that staff focus on hiring an extra officer and dispatcher.

Mayor Pro Tem Ambriz noted that Chief Hofford has agreed to look into hiring additional officers and dispatchers and stated that the armored vehicle is needed to protect officers and to keep the community safe, and that the cost of the purchase is much lower than what was originally proposed.

Councilmember Burrola expressed his disappointment that the Council is not in favor of the purchase of the armored vehicle at this time.

A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Ambriz, seconded by Councilmember Burrola, to direct staff to prepare a resolution and work to acquire the armored vehicle. The motion failed with Councilmembers Breceda, Garcia, and Mayor Ortiz opposed.

CITY MANAGER’S REPORT
City Manager Miranda presented the following report:
1) He provided information regarding upcoming Aquatics, Recreation, and Senior Center events.
2) He also noted that Senator Rubio has secured $500,000 toward the purchase of an inclusive playground at Irwindale Park.

REQUESTS FOR AGENDA ITEMS BY CITY COUNCIL

Mayor Pro Tem Ambriz requested that staff address geese droppings at the park and ensure that park facilities remain clean and stocked, to which City Manager Miranda advised that staff would work on the noted items.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Issue: Approve a Memorandum of Agreement with the City of Azusa for Supplemental Police Services
City Manager's Recommendation:

Approved by:

Julian A. Miranda, City Manager

Background and Analysis:

The Irwindale Police Department and Azusa Police Department maintain a strong collaborative relationship to support regional law enforcement. Our agencies currently partner under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the regional East San Gabriel Valley SWAT Team, as well as shared Homeless Outreach agreements to address unhoused initiatives across jurisdictional borders.

Furthermore, we consistently engage in joint California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) campaigns, focusing on coordinated DUI and distracted driving enforcement. Historically, this partnership also included supplemental police services at the former Irwindale Speedway.

To continue this mutual aid relationship, the City of Azusa has requested operational assistance from the Irwindale Police Department to provide supplemental law enforcement services within Azusa city limits to ensure comprehensive public safety coverage during planned events. This agreement formalizes personnel deployment strategies to support municipal public safety coverage during planned events as requested from time to time by Azusa, and subject to Irwindale's staffing availability.

Fiscal Impact:

There will be no negative impact on the General Fund. The City of Azusa will fully reimburse the City of Irwindale for all costs incurred by the Irwindale Police Department in providing supplemental services to the Azusa Police Department.

AGREEMENT

FOR SUPPLEMENTAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
City of Azusa and City of Irwindale
This Agreement for Supplemental Law Enforcement Services (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between the City of Azusa, a California municipal corporation, acting through its Police Department (“Azusa”), and City of Irwindale (“Assisting Agency”). Azusa and Assisting Agency may be referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

RECITALS
A. Azusa periodically hosts planned special events within the City that require law enforcement staffing beyond Azusa’s regular patrol resources.

B. Assisting Agency operates a law enforcement department capable of providing supplemental law enforcement personnel for special events, subject to availability and acceptance.

C. The Parties desire to establish a standing agreement governing the terms and conditions under which Assisting Agency may, at Azusa’s request and discretion, provide supplemental law enforcement services for specific special events.

D. This Agreement applies only to planned special-event supplemental staffing and does not create a general mutual aid obligation, a cross-deputation arrangement, or an agreement under Penal Code § 830.8.

1. Term
This Agreement begins on November 1, 2026, and remains in effect for five (5) years unless terminated earlier under this Agreement.

2. Scope of Services

2.1 Requests for Services
Upon written request by Azusa, Assisting Agency may provide supplemental law enforcement services for a specific special event (“Event”). Each request identifies the anticipated date(s), location(s), nature of the Event, and estimated personnel needs.

Azusa may modify or withdraw a request, in whole or in part, at any time before the Event by providing written notice to Assisting Agency.

2.2 Availability, Acceptance, and Conditions
All services under this Agreement depend on Assisting Agency’s staffing availability and acceptance. Assisting Agency may decline a request or limit the number, classification,

4917-6365-7093 v1
or hours of personnel provided. Assisting Agency confirms acceptance in writing and identifies approved staffing parameters and any reasonable conditions imposed by Assisting Agency. An inability or failure to provide services due to an emergency, disaster, or other incident by Assisting Agency does not constitute a breach of this Agreement. Assisting Agency shall notify Azusa as soon as reasonably practicable if such conditions materially limit or prevent performance.

2.3 Event Coordination and Operational Authority
Azusa Police Department retains exclusive authority over Event-level coordination, deployment decisions, and incident command for each Event, including preparation, modification, and implementation of the Event operations plan. Assisting Agency personnel perform assigned duties in coordination with Azusa’s Event operations plan and public safety objectives. Assisting Agency personnel remain at all times under Assisting Agency’s exclusive supervision, policies, procedures, discipline, and employment control. Nothing in this Agreement authorizes Azusa to exercise day-to-day employment supervision or control over the manner or means by which Assisting Agency personnel perform law enforcement duties. Based on public safety needs, operational considerations, or Event conditions, Azusa may, in its reasonable discretion, reassign, limit, suspend, or terminate the use of Assisting Agency personnel for a specific Event.

2.4 Communications
For the limited purpose of providing services under this Agreement, Azusa may authorize Assisting Agency personnel to use Azusa Police Department radio channels or designated interoperability channels, subject to Azusa Police Department radio protocols and revocation at Azusa’s discretion.

3. Personnel
The classifications, approximate number of personnel, and hours for each Event are agreed to in writing by the Parties before the Event. All personnel provided under this Agreement remain employees of the Assisting Agency. This Agreement does not create an employment, joint-employment, special employment, or agency relationship between Azusa and Assisting Agency personnel, or between Assisting Agency and Azusa personnel.

4. Compensation
Azusa shall compensate Assisting Agency for services actually rendered in connection with an Event at Assisting Agency’s then-current fully burdened hourly billing rates, including applicable benefits and overtime, as reflected in Assisting Agency’s salary schedules or memoranda of understanding. Azusa has no obligation to pay for personnel or hours not requested or approved by Azusa for the applicable Event.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Azusa compensates Assisting Agency for one hour

4917-6365-7093 v1
of drive time per officer per day of service. Total compensation under this Agreement may not exceed $50,000 per contract year unless increased by written amendment approved by both Parties.

5. Administration of Personnel
Assisting Agency remains solely responsible for payment of salaries, wages, benefits, and workers’ compensation coverage for its personnel. Assisting Agency also remains responsible for all claims, including workers’ compensation claims, arising out of the employment or performance of services by its personnel under this Agreement.

Assisting Agency personnel have no claim or right to employment, civil service protection, salary, benefits, or workers’ compensation directly from Azusa by virtue of services performed under this Agreement.

6. Indemnification

6.1 Responsibility for Own Acts
The Parties acknowledge that Government Code section 895.2 may impose joint liability upon public entities that are parties to an agreement. Pursuant to Government Code section 895.4, and as between the Parties, each Party shall be responsible for the negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of its own officers, employees, and agents occurring in the performance of this Agreement.

6.2 Release
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party releases the other Party, and its officers, employees, and agents, from claims by the releasing Party for injury to its own officers or employees, or for damage to its own property, arising out of the performance of this Agreement. This release does not limit either Party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement. This Section shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

6.3 Mutual Indemnification
Each Party shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other Party, and its officers, employees, and agents, from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, or expenses, including those from death or injury to any person or from a loss of damage to any real, personal, or other property arising out of or relating to the negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of the indemnifying Party, or its officers, employees, or agents, in connection with this Agreement.

A Party seeking indemnification shall promptly provide written notice of any claim to the other Party. Upon providing written notice of the claim, the indemnifying Party shall have the duty to defend the claim at its own expense and may select mutually agreeable legal counsel to provide the defense. The Party seeking indemnification may participate in the

4917-6365-7093 v1
defense. No settlement that admits liability of or imposes monetary or non-monetary obligations on the Party seeking indemnification shall be entered into without that Party’s prior written consent.

This Section shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

6.4 Survival
The obligations set forth in this Section, including the Release and Indemnification provisions, shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

7. Insurance
Each Party either self-insures, is a member of a risk sharing pool, or maintains commercial general liability and automobile liability coverage of no less than $10,000,000 per occurrence, $10 million general aggregate and workers’ compensation coverage (statutory) and Employer’s Liability ($1 million) coverage as required by law for its own employees. Each Party shall provide evidence of coverage and, to the extent permitted by law and consistent with the Party’s self-insurance or risk sharing pool program, name the other Party as an additional insured/additional protected party for activities under this Agreement.

8. Invoices and Payment
Within 45 days after an Event, Assisting Agency shall submit an invoice itemizing hours worked by classification and any agreed drive time. Azusa shall pay all undisputed amounts within 30 days of receipt. Azusa may withhold disputed amounts pending good-faith resolution, and the Parties shall promptly confer to resolve any billing disputes.

9. Notices
All notices under this Agreement must be in writing and may be given either by (i) personal service, (ii) delivery by a reputable document delivery service, such as but not limited to, Federal Express, which provides a receipt showing date and time of delivery, or (iii) mailing in the United States Mail, certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the address of the party as set forth below or at any other address as that party may later designate by notice:

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Issue: Accept Funding Award Through The State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program from the State of California Governor's Office of Emergency Services City Manager's Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council 1. Adopt Resolution No. 2026-89-3899 of the City of Irwindale to accept an $87,616 competitive award from the State of California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) State and Local Cybersecurity Grant program to provide initial funding for cybersecurity tools and penetration testing; and 2. Authorize the City Manager and/or his designee to execute a Governing Body Resolution and any and all related program documents with Cal OES in connection with the City's $87,616.

Approved by:

Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Background and Analysis:

On July 31, 2024, the State of California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) issued a Competitive Funding Opportunity (CFO) for the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) for Local and Tribal Governments. The program provides funding to help local governments strengthen cybersecurity capabilities, mitigate risks, reduce vulnerabilities, and improve the resilience of critical infrastructure and public services. Eligible applicants could request up to $250,000 in funding.

On March 13, 2026, the Information Technology Division submitted a grant proposal for $87,615.50 for a project aligned with the goals of the California SLCGP Cybersecurity Plan, which would enhance cybersecurity monitoring and managed detection services, enhance email and identity security, and conduct penetration and vulnerability testing to help the City identify, prevent, and respond to potential threats and vulnerabilities across its network, systems, and applications.

Cal OES has confirmed a competitive award of $87,616 to the City. A resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute all agreements is required to receive SLCGP funding for the cybersecurity managed detection and response project outlined above. Upon receipt, staff will work with Cal OES to ensure all grant documents and any reporting are completed.

Fiscal Impact:

The City was awarded $87,616 in grant funding from the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) through the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program. The grant requires a 30% City match of $37,550, bringing the total project cost to $125,166. The City will fund the $37,550 match from the General Fund. Staff will use the grant funding and City contribution for the purposes outlined above.

Date: October 14, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Issue: Claim Rejection - Francisco Vega vs. City of Irwindale City Manager's Recommendation:
(1) Reject the claim of Francisco Vega vs. City of Irwindale; and (2) Direct staff to send a letter of rejection.

Laura Nieto, Chief Deputy City Clerk
Reviewed by:

Adrian R. Guerra, City Attorney
Approved by:

Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Background and Analysis:

On September 28, 2026, the City received a claim for damages from claimant Francisco Vega. Claimant Vega alleges that on April 5, 2026, while at the Santa Fe Dam Recreational Area, a falling tree limb struck members of his family, who had been seated in a hammock that had been situated between two park trees. He alleges that his sensory perception of the unfolding incident, the rescue of family member, and observation of injuries to his children has caused severe emotional distress.

The claim was reviewed by the City’s claims adjuster, Athens Program Insurance Services, who has recommended the rejection of the claim. Their recommendation is made on the basis that the City of Irwindale does not own, maintain or control the location where the damages occurred. Accordingly, staff is recommending that the City Council reject the claim and direct staff to send a standard letter of rejection. Alternatively, the City Council may direct the City Manager to negotiate resolution of the claim.

Prepared by:

Laura Nieto, Chief Deputy City Clerk
Reviewed by:

Adrian R. Guerra, City Attorney
Approved by:

Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Background and Analysis:

On September 28, 2026, the City received a claim for damages from claimant Jason Vega. Claimant Vega alleges that on April 5, 2026, while at the Santa Fe Dam Recreational Area, seated in a hammock that had been situated between two park trees, a falling tree limb caused abrasions, bleeding, and pain on his lower left leg, and subsequent fear, anxiety and emotional distress.

The claim was reviewed by the City’s claims adjuster, Athens Program Insurance Services, who has

recommended the rejection of the claim. Their recommendation is made on the basis that the City of Irwindale does not own, maintain or control the location where the damages occurred. Accordingly, staff is recommending that the City Council reject the claim and direct staff to send a standard letter of rejection. Alternatively, the City Council may direct the City Manager to negotiate resolution of the claim.

RELATED COUNTY CLAIM NUMBERS
The April 16, 2026 preservation and representation letter expressly stated, in bold, " THIS IS NOT A CLAIM FORM." It was not presented or intended as a claim under the Government Claims Act, and nothing in the accompanying claim forms or this attachment should be construed as agreeing otherwise.

The separately signed claim forms submitted with this attachment are the goverrunent claims now being presented.

The County nevertheless assigned Clain No. 26-4454029* 001 to prior correspondence concerning Jules and Claim No. 26- 4454029* 002 to prior correspondence concerning Jason. Those numbers are identified solely so the County can associate the present claims with its existing administrative files and the same April 5, 2026 occurrence. Their inclusion does not characterize these claims as amendments and does not concede that the earlier letter was a government claim.

DATE TIME AND PLACE OF INCIDENT
The incident occurred on April 5, 2026, at approximately 1: 30 p.m. to 2: 00 p.m., at Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area, 15501 East Arrow Highway, Irwindale, California 91706, in the grass and picnic area near the outer portion of Parking Lot 5.

CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE INCIDENT
Earlier that day, an unlicensed commercial vendor sold Francisco two hammocks and installed the subject hammock between two park trees. Payment was made through a Zelle account associated with Evaristo Gasparillo Jimenez; the investigation identified Margarita Trinidad Castro as the person who sold and installed the hammocks. Jules and Jason were seated in the installed hammock when a large, heavy limb suddenly failed from one of the trees and fell directly onto the hammock and both children.

The hammock remained secured and did not detach from the trees.

Francisco was approximately ten feet away. He heard a screeching or splitting sound from the tree and immediately ran to his children. He found the heavy limb lying on Jules, personally lifted and removed it from her, and observed Jason bleeding from his leg and complaining of pain. Independent witness Gabriela Guillen heard the branch break and saw it fall onto the hammock. After the incident, witnesses observed that the subject tree appeared weakened, diseased, decayed, and affected by termite -like damage. Two Los Angeles County Parks and Recreation employees later lifted and removed the limb using a County truck. Photographs are included below.

BASIS OF PUBLIC ENTITY RESPONSIBILITY
The governmental entity receiving the accompanying claim form, together with its employees, agents, departments, and contractors, owned, possessed, operated, controlled, managed, inspected, maintained, regulated, and/ or shared responsibility for Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area, including the premises, trees, landscaping, vendor activity, and public safety at the incident location. The precise allocation of responsibility among the involved governmental entities is presently within their knowledge.

The receiving governmental entity and its employees created and/ or failed to protect against a dangerous condition of public property within the meaning of Government Code sections 830 and 835. The subject tree and limb were unhealthy, structurally unsound, decayed, diseased, infested, and/ or otherwise prone to failure. The receiving governmental entity had actual and/ or constructive notice of the dangerous condition for a sufficient period to inspect, repair, prune, brace, remove, isolate, or warn against it, but failed to take reasonable protective measures.

The receiving governmental entity and its employees also failed to reasonably inspect and maintain the tree; failed to identify and remedy visible deterioration; failed to warn, barricade, or restrict the area; and failed to reasonably supervise or control recurring commercial hammock sales, installation, and hammock use on park trees. Hammocks and hammock vendors had been observed at the park on prior occasions, and no sign at the incident location warned visitors that hammocks could not be attached to the trees. The receiving govermnental entity is further responsible for the negligent acts and omissions of employees acting within the course and scope of public employment, including under Govermnent Code section 815. 2, and under all other applicable statutory bases disclosed by investigation and discovery.

PUBLIC EMPLOYEES INVOLVED
The names of the responsible public employees are presently unknown. They include the employees, supervisors, arborists, contractors, maintenance personnel, inspectors, groundskeepers, lifeguards, first - aid personnel, and other persons responsible for the subject tree, park maintenance, vendor activity, warnings, and the post -incident response. Two Los Angeles County Parks and Recreation employees shown in the photographs removed the failed limb. Claimants will supplement their claims when the governmental entities disclose the employees' identities and records.

POLICE FIRST AID AND INCIDENT REPORTS
A report was made to the Irwindale Police Department by telephone; the report number has not yet been provided. Park or lifeguard first -aid personnel responded, and an incident report was taken at Santa Fe Dam. No municipal ambulance transported the children fiom the park. Their parents drove them to Emanate Health Queen of the Valley Hospital. Jules was later transferred by ambulance from Emanate Health to Children' s Hospital of Orange County for higher -level care and surgery.

INJURIES TREATMENT AND DAMAGES
Jules Renae Vega: The failed limb struck Jules in the head and face. She sustained a skull fracture and related head and facial injuries. Emanate Health performed CT imaging and arranged transfer to Children's Hospital of Orange County, where Jules required surgery to repair the skull fracture. She suffered and continues to suffer physical pain, fear, anxiety, emotional distress, and other general damages, and she has incurred substantial medical and related expenses. The full nature and extent of her injuries, fixture care, and damages remain under evaluation.

Jason Leon Vega: The failed limb struck Jason and caused abrasions, bleeding, and pain involving his left lower leg, together with fear, anxiety, and emotional distress. He was evaluated in the emergency department at Emanate Health on April 5, 2026. X-rays and imaging did not identify a fracture or other acute bony injury. He has incurred medical and related expenses. The full nature and extent of his injuries and damages remain under evaluation.

Francisco Javier Vega: Francisco heard the tree and limb fail, inunediately discovered the limb on top of his young daughter, personally lifted and removed it, and simultaneously observed his son bleeding and in pain. His sensory perception of the unfolding emergency, rescue of Jules, and observation of both injured children caused severe emotional distress. He has obtained psychological treatment and incurred related medical expenses.

Provider and treatment -date information will be supplemented when confirmed.

RELATED COUNTY CLAIM NUMBERS
The April 16, 2026 preservation and representation letter expressly stated, in bold, " THIS IS NOT A CLAIM FORM." It was not presented or intended as a claim under the Government Claims Act, and nothing in the accompanying claim forms or this attachment should be construed as agreeing otherwise.

DATE TIME AND PLACE OF INCIDENT
The incident occurred on April 5, 2026, at approximately 1: 30 p.m. to 2: 00 p.m., at Santa Fe Darn Recreation Area, 15501 East Arrow Highway, Irwindale, California 91706, in the grass and picnic area near the outer portion of Parking Lot 5.

CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE INCIDENT
Earlier that day, an unlicensed commercial vendor sold Francisco two hammocks and installed the subject hammock between two park trees. Payment was made through a Zelle account associated with Evaristo Gasparillo Jimenez; the investigation identified Margarita Trinidad Castro as the person who sold and installed the hammocks. Jules and Jason were seated in the installed hammock when a large, heavy limb suddenly failed from one of the trees and fell directly onto the hammock and both children.

The hammock remained secured and did not detach from the trees.

Francisco was approximately ten feet away. He heard a screeching or splitting sound from the tree and immediately ran to his children. He found the heavy limb lying on Jules, personally lifted and removed it from her, and observed Jason bleeding from his leg and complaining of pain. Independent witness Gabriela Guillen heard the branch break and saw it fall onto the hammock. After the incident, witnesses observed that the subject tree appeared weakened, diseased, decayed, and affected by termite -like damage. Two Los Angeles County Parks and Recreation employees later lifted and removed the limb using a County truck. Photographs are included below.

BASIS OF PUBLIC ENTITY RESPONSIBILITY
The goverrunental entity receiving the accompanying claim form, together with its employees, agents, departments, and contractors, owned, possessed, operated, controlled, managed, inspected, maintained, regulated, and/or shared responsibility for Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area, including the premises, trees, landscaping, vendor activity, and public safety at the incident location. The precise allocation of responsibility among the involved governmental entities is presently within their knowledge.

The receiving governmental entity and its employees created and/ or failed to protect against a dangerous condition of public property within the meaning of Government Code sections 830 and 835. The subject tree and limb were unhealthy, structurally unsound, decayed, diseased, infested, and/ or otherwise prone to failure. The receiving governmental entity had actual and/ or constructive notice of the dangerous condition for a sufficient period to inspect, repair, prune, brace, remove, isolate, or warn against it, but failed to take reasonable protective measures.

The receiving governmental entity and its employees also failed to reasonably inspect and maintain the tree; failed to identify and remedy visible deterioration; failed to warn, barricade, or restrict the area; and failed to reasonably supervise or control recurring commercial hammock sales, installation, and hammock use on park trees. Hammocks and hammock vendors had been observed at the park on prior occasions, and no sign at the incident location warned visitors that hammocks could not be attached to the trees. The receiving governmental entity is further responsible for the negligent acts and omissions of employees acting within the course and scope of public employment, including under Government Code section 815. 2, and under all other applicable statutory bases disclosed by investigation and discovery.

PUBLIC EMPLOYEES INVOLVED
The names of the responsible public employees are presently unknown. They include the employees, supervisors, arborists, contractors, maintenance personnel, inspectors, groundskeepers, lifeguards, first - aid personnel, and other persons responsible for the subject tree, park maintenance, vendor activity, warnings, and the post -incident response. Two Los Angeles County Parks and Recreation employees shown in the photographs removed the failed limb. Claimants will supplement their claims when the governmental entities disclose the employees' identities and records.

POLICE FIRST AID AND INCIDENT REPORTS
A report was made to the Irwindale Police Department by telephone; the report number has not yet been provided. Park or lifeguard first -aid personnel responded, and an incident report was taken at Santa Fe Dam. No municipal ambulance transported the children from the park. Their parents drove them to Emanate Health Queen of the Valley Hospital, Jules was later transferred by ambulance from Emanate Health to Children's Hospital of Orange County for higher -level care and surgery.

INJURIES TREATMENT AND DAMAGES
Jules Renae Vega: The failed limb struck Jules in the head and face. She sustained a skull fracture and related head and facial injuries. Emanate Health performed CT imaging and arranged transfer to Children' s Hospital of Orange County, where Jules required surgery to repair the skull fracture. She suffered and continues to suffer physical pain, fear, anxiety, emotional distress, and other general damages, and she has incurred substantial medical and related expenses. The full nature and extent of her injuries, future care, and damages remain under evaluation.

Jason Leon Vega: The failed limb struck Jason and caused abrasions, bleeding, and pain involving his left lower leg, together with fear, anxiety, and emotional distress. He was evaluated in the emergency department at Emanate Health on April 5, 2026. X-rays and imaging did not identify a fracture or other acute bony injury. He has incurred medical and related expenses. The full nature and extent of his injuries and damages remain under evaluation.

Francisco Javier Vega: Francisco heard the tree and limb fail, immediately discovered the limb on top of his young daughter, personally lifted and removed it, and simultaneously observed his son bleeding and in pain. His sensory perception of the unfolding emergency, rescue of Jules, and observation of both injured children caused severe emotional distress. He has obtained psychological treatment and incurred related medical expenses. He also claims legally recoverable expenses incurred and to be incurred for his minor children' s care, out-of-pocket losses, loss of services, and all other consequential damages. Provider and treatment -date information will be supplemented when confinned.

Item #18.H.

Date: October 14, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Issue: Resolution Authorizing the Transfer of Unclaimed Deposits and Monies Exceeding Three Years Old to the City General Fund Pursuant to Government Code Sections 50050-50057 City Manager's Recommendation:

Adopt Resolution No. 2026-93-3903 entitled: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

IRWINDALE AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF UNCLAIMED DEPOSITS AND MONIES TO THE CITY GENERAL FUND PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTIONS 50050-50057 AND DELEGATING POST-DEADLINE REIMBURSEMENT AUTHORITY."
Administrative Action:

Submitted & Prepared by:

Kambiz Borhani, Finance Director / City Treasurer
Reviewed by:

Adrian R. Guerra, City Attorney
Approved by:

Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Background and Analysis:

California Government Code Sections 50050 through 50057 authorize cities to escheat unclaimed money directly into their General Fund, bypassing state-level escheatment. Funds remaining unclaimed in the city treasury for more than three years—or one year for amounts under $15.00 may become city property after public notification and waiting periods are met. Under Section 50055,

items under $15.00 or those with unknown depositors may be transferred to the General Fund without newspaper publication.

In compliance with the public notice requirements of Government Code Section 50051, the City has published the list of all outstanding deposits qualifying for escheatment. Specifically, itemized notices detailing the names, fund sources, and exact sums held were published in the local newspaper of general circulation, The San Gabriel Valley Tribune, for two consecutive weeks on October 12 and October 19.

To ensure full transparency and give everyone time to make their claims, identical notices were also posted in three high-traffic civic areas—City Hall, the City Library, and the local Post Office—and have remained on display since October 7.

Per the published directives and statutory constraints, the notice states that all unclaimed deposits will officially become the property of the City sixty (60) days following the initial publication date. This formal redemption and claim validation window closes on December 11, at which point any uncollected balance will be legally eligible for transfer into the City's General Fund.

Administrative Safeguards and Standing Reimbursement Authority While the statutory deadline permanently extinguishes the public's formal right to sue the City for these funds under Section 50052, staff recognizes that genuine administrative errors, delivery delays, or overlooked developer/vendor accounts occasionally surface after an escheatment cycle completes.

To preserve public trust, uphold equitable governance, and eliminate unnecessary administrative delays, this action incorporates a permanent safeguard clause.

Specifically, if a legitimate claim is filed and verified after the deadline, or if staff internally determines via audit that an accounting refund should have been issued regardless of whether a claim was ever formally filed by the depositor, the City Council may grant standing administrative authority to the Finance Director or the City Manager to issue and satisfy the reimbursement. This authority allows staff to return verified funds without returning to the City Council for approval, irrespective of the transaction amount or the length of time that has elapsed since the funds were absorbed into the General Fund.

Supplemental Notice Revision
Following the submission of the public notice for publication, staff identified one subsequent adjustment that requires disclosure to the City Council and the members of the public:

1. Exhibit A – General Fund Revision: Staff identified a necessary clerical correction for the listed transaction for Athens Services (dated 4/12/2022, Deposit #DH22-025) in the amount of $(28,182.30). This amount needed to be reduced by $2,336.85, bringing the corrected transaction total to $(25,845.45), as shown in the image below.

Fiscal Impact:

Adoption of Resolution No. 2026-93-3903 will positively impact the General Fund by releasing unencumbered, unclaimed deposits into the city's discretionary fund balance.

The Finance Director will be authorized to sweep dormant accounts that have exceeded their legal holding period. Because these funds were previously restricted, this action provides a one-time revenue injection for Fiscal Year 2026-27. There is no impact on the city's structural, ongoing operating budget, and no matching city funds are required.

AUTHORITY
WHEREAS, the City of Irwindale holds various deposit items that have remained unclaimed in the City Treasury for a period exceeding three (3) years; and WHEREAS, California Government Code Sections 50050 through 50057 establish that such long-standing, unclaimed balances may legally become the property of the local municipal agency provided notification requirements are followed; and WHEREAS, per Government Code Section 50051, itemized notices detailing the specific amounts, original funds, and known payees were formally published in a local newspaper of general circulation, The San Gabriel Valley Tribune, for two consecutive weeks on October 12 and October 19, 2026; and
WHEREAS, to ensure transparency and public awareness, corresponding copies of the unclaimed deposit listings were physically posted in notable civic facilities including City Hall, the City Library, and the local Post Office, remaining continuously displayed since October 7, 2026; and
WHEREAS, the public notices stated that all unclaimed deposits would become the permanent property of the City sixty (60) days following the initial publication date, establishing the final legal expiration date as December 11, 2026; and WHEREAS, Government Code Section 50053 dictates that the City Council, as the legislative body of the local agency, possesses the statutory authority to formally direct the transfer of these unclaimed deposits into the City General Fund; and WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to establish a permanent administrative process to resolve valid accounting errors, delayed claims, and audit findings quickly, fairly, and responsibly without causing hardship to affected parties.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IRWINDALE AS FOLLOWS:

The public is further notified by this Resolution of the City’s intent to declare and accept all unclaimed moneys as the property of the City 60 days after the first publication of the notice, effective December 11, 2026.

Approved by:

Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Background and Analysis:

A goal of the City Council is to understand future economic development opportunities within the Arrow Highway corridor and to identify the direction the City should take in its retail/commercial revitalization efforts. As such, staff was directed to retain an outside consulting firm to prepare and conduct a community retail analysis measuring the retail market, sales, competition, leakage, gaps, and consumer preferences. In addition, the consultant was to identify the most viable business types along the “Arrow Highway Corridor” from Azusa Canyon Road to Vincent Avenue, and extending north from Irwindale Avenue to Gladstone Street. The study aimed to assess existing market conditions, identify current and future retail and mixed-use development opportunities and demand, and recommend strategies to enhance economic vitality and attract business to support economic growth.

On February 3, 2025, staff issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Retail Corridor Study—Arrow Highway. A designated panel evaluated all companies through an interview process on March 30, 2026, and pre-qualified RSG, Inc. and Gruen Associates Companies as the consulting firms recommended to the City Council for consideration at a cost of $87,110.

On April 22, 2026, the City Council awarded the contract to RSG, Inc. and Gruen Associates Companies pursuant to Resolution No. 2026-31-3842. The original contract was for $87,110 and included the following scope of work:
• Task1: Project Initiation & Data Collection
• Task 2: Market Analysis
• Task 3: Land Use & Development Opportunities
• Task 4: Urban Design & Corridor Identity
• Task 5: Implementation Strategy
Scope of Work also included the following deliverables:
• Market Analysis Report
• Opportunity Site Profiles
• Corridor Concept Plan or Illustrative Map
• Implementation and Funding Strategy
• Final Retail Corridor Study Report (digital + 5 hard copies)

• Presentation materials for Council meetings
Staff has been in ongoing communication with the RSG, Inc. and the Gruen team as they work on the above tasks. On September 10, they presented initial drafts of the study to the city staff. After consideration, staff recommends amending the scope of work to include a public workshop that provides residents, businesses, property owners, and other community stakeholders with an opportunity to participate in the planning process. The workshop would allow the City and the project consultant to gather firsthand input on existing conditions, opportunities for improvement, desired retail and commercial uses, streetscape enhancements, and other community priorities.

The public workshop would also provide an opportunity to present preliminary findings and engage the community in developing a shared vision for the corridor. The consultant would consider workshop feedback when developing recommendations and implementation strategies for the final Retail Corridor Study.

The public workshop will include:
• Walking tour with attendees of the district
• Lunch provided - with a brief discussion of examples of how this kind of economic and community development work can be done
• Group breakouts on different concepts, each led by a member of the RSG/Gruen team • Presentations from each breakout group
• Discussion and potential selection of up to three concepts for the area • Selection of a name/brand for the district
The proposed amendment will increase the contract cost by $10,000 to cover these additional services.

All other terms and conditions of the existing agreement will remain unchanged.

Fiscal Impact:

Adopting Resolution 2026-90-3900 authorizes the Finance Director to amend the FY 2026- 2027 adopted budget, appropriating $10,000 from General Fund reserves to cover the amount needed for the contract amendment.

To: Iris Espino, Assistant to the City Manager
City of Irwindale
From: James Simon, President
Subject: UPDATE ON IRWINDALE RETAIL CORRIDOR STUDY
The purpose of this memo is to provide Irwindale staff with a formal update on the status of our work on the retail corridor study for the City of Irwindale. Our contract commenced with a kickoff meeting between the RSG and Gruen Associates team and City management on June 3, 2026, which included a site visit to the study area and surrounding properties to designate specific boundaries, understand the City’s goals, and collect information on specific properties that the City had to share.

Since that time, the RSG and Gruen team has developed an analysis of the study area that focused on identifying existing conditions (traffic volumes, public transit use, Zoning, existing land use, occupancy, retail performance), evaluating and characterizing potential opportunity sites, and formulating initial strategies for necessary public and private investment to transform nonresidential portions of Arrow Highway and Irwindale Avenue into a thriving local and visitor-serving commercial district.

On September 10, we presented drafts of these ideas to City management and collected feedback on the analysis, and concurrently formulated ideas together with the City on how to proceed. This included amending the scope of work to include a public workshop, tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, October 27, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., which would involve the following activities:

Iris Espino, Assistant to the City Manager

CITY OF IRWINDALE
SEPTEMBER 30, 2026

• Walking tour with attendees of the district
• Lunch provided - with a brief discussion of examples of how this kind of economic and community development work can be done
• Group breakouts on different concepts, each led by a member of the RSG/Gruen team
• Presentations from each breakout group
• Discussion and potential selection of up to three concepts for the area • Selection of a name/brand for the district
The cost for the added workshop, inclusive of expenses for food and beverages, materials, and facilitation by the RSG and Gruen team, is $10,000. The City would be responsible for securing the facility, handling logistics, promoting the event, and sending out invitations.

The workshop will provide the City Council with important insights into the community’s thoughts about the study area and, more importantly, build what we believe is a muchneeded relationship between these properties and the local residents and visitors.

Following the workshop, the consultant team’s attention will turn to preparing our final deliverable and presenting our findings and recommendations to the City Council at their regular meeting of December 9, 2026. In addition to incorporating public feedback and insights into our work, the RSG and Gruen team will develop data insights on market demand, land use policy, public realm investments, feasibility and financing considerations, and an implementation plan.

We share the City’s excitement on the prospects for this new commercial vision that gives Irwindale residents and visitors a place to patronize, support, and be proud of.

Item #18.J.

Date: October 14, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Issue: Approve an Agreement for Executive Recruitment Services for the Position of City Manager City Manager's Recommendation:
1) Approve an Agreement with Ralph Andersen & Associates for Executive Recruitment Services for the Position of City Manager in the amount of $29,000, and authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney; and 2) Adopt Resolution No. 2026-91-3901 entitled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IRWINDALE AUTHORIZING A BUDGET AMENDMENT TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 ADOPTED BUDGET BY APPROPRIATING $29,000 FROM

THE GENERAL FUND RESERVES FOR EXECUTIVE RECRUITMENT SERVICES FOR THE POSITION OF CITY MANAGER.”
Administrative Action:

Submitted / Approved by:

Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Prepared by:

Mary Hull, Human Resources / Risk Manager
Reviewed by:

Adrian R. Guerra, City Attorney
Kambiz Borhani, Finance Director / City Treasurer

Background and Analysis:

The City Manager serves as the City's chief administrative officer and is responsible for the day-to-day administration of City operations and implementation of City Council policy. In anticipation of the upcoming City Manager retirement, the City initiated a competitive process to retain an experienced executive recruitment firm to assist the City Council with identifying and selecting the City's next City Manager.

On September 3, 2026, the City released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Executive Recruitment Services for the Position of City Manager. The RFP was made available through PlanetBids and the City's website. Proposals were due by 5:00 p.m. on October 1, 2026. The City received nine proposals by the deadline.

Staff reviewed and evaluated the proposals based on the criteria established in the RFP, including qualifications and experience, California public agency and City Manager recruitment experience, qualifications of the proposed project team, understanding of the City's needs and proposed approach, ability to complete the recruitment within the desired schedule, and proposed cost.

Based on this evaluation, the four highest-rated proposers were invited to participate in interviews with City staff on October 7, 2026. The interviews provided an opportunity to further evaluate each firm's proposed approach, the experience and availability of the individuals who would perform the work, familiarity with California municipal executive recruitment, understanding of Irwindale's organizational and community environment, and ability to conduct a timely and effective City Manager search.

The firms interviewed, and their proposed costs were as follows:

FIRMS INTERVIEWED PROPOSED COST
Bob Murray & Associates $34,000
HR Dynamics & Performance Management, Inc. $27,700
Ralph Andersen & Associates $29,000
WBCP, Inc. $24,900 + up to $6,100 in expenses
Following evaluation of the written proposals and interviews, staff recommends Ralph Andersen & Associates to conduct the City Manager recruitment. The firm demonstrated extensive experience conducting City Manager and other executive recruitments for California municipalities, as well as a strong understanding of Irwindale's unique organization and community and the importance of identifying candidates who will be a good fit for the City. The firm's proposed approach includes working closely with the City Council to develop the candidate profile and conducting direct outreach to qualified candidates, including those who may not be actively seeking a new opportunity. Ralph Andersen's proposed Project Director, Fred Wilson, brings more than 30 years of local government executive experience, including 21 years as a City Manager in California, and has conducted more than 30 City Manager recruitments throughout the state.

While cost was an important factor in the selection of the recruitment firm, it was not the only factor.

Staff determined that Ralph Andersen & Associates provides the best overall value to the City. The firm's $29,000 fixed fee includes recruitment services and related expenses, as well as a one-year placement guarantee that provides for a replacement search without additional professional service fees.

With the current City Manager's contract ending on February 14, 2027, the City intends to work closely with Ralph Andersen & Associates to move the recruitment forward in a timely manner, with a target of completing the process by mid-February 2027.

Fiscal Impact:

The total cost of the recommended agreement is $29,000. Funding for the City Manager recruitment was not included in the adopted Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget. The adoption of Resolution No. 2026-91- 3901 authorizes the Finance Director to amend the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Adopted Budget by appropriating $29,000 from the General Fund reserve account to account 01-15-150-42300-0000.

Project Understanding and Approach
Summary of Our Search Process
The successful search process relies heavily on person-to-person contact to identify outstanding potential candidates and, in the evaluation phase, to gain a complete understanding of the background, experience, and management style of the top candidates. The executive recruitment techniques used by Ralph Andersen & Associates have been developed and used successfully with hundreds of clients for more than 54 years.
• Developing a comprehensive position profile based upon information obtained in various meetings with the City Council, Human Resources staff, and other designated City staff and stakeholders.
• Reviewing current compensation and recommending changes based upon market and competitive conditions, if desired by the City.
• Extensive personal outreach, via telephone and through internet technology, to qualified candidates throughout California, the Western Region, and nationally, if desired. • A marketing strategy that uses selected advertising to supplement the extensive candidate identification process, uses the Internet and social media, and also uses our already established professional contacts throughout the region. • A screening process that narrows the field of candidates to those that most closely match the needs of the City and is based on screening interviews with the top candidates.

Candidates’ education, experience, and credentials are matched to the criteria established in the position profile.
• Delivering a product in the form of a search report that recommends a top group of candidates and provides the City with detailed information about their backgrounds and experience.
• Conduct final background and verifications, including references, on the top candidate. • Assist in negotiations of employment offer.
• Close out the search and notify all candidates not selected.

Ralph Andersen & Associates has an outstanding reputation for being thorough and professional in its recruitment approach. Each candidate’s match with the position is based on the individual’s professional experience, management style, education, credentials, and overall fit with the organization and executive leadership.

Search Work Plan
This section describes the usual steps in the search for a new City Manager for the City of Irwindale.

This recruitment will be under the direction of Mr. Fred Wilson as Project Director.

Task 1 – Review Project Management Approach
The Project Director will begin work on this project within 10 days (or sooner) after the City provides a contract or, alternatively, an official notice to proceed. The first task will include established individual and/or group meetings with the City Council, Human Resources, or key City staff, as appropriate, to finalize the recruiting and selection process (in-person or via video). This will include discussion of the project management for this search, review of the work plan, confirmation of timing, and communication methods. Working collaboratively with the City Council, Human Resources, and key City staff, this task will result in a more definitive timetable.

As part of our overall approach to this project, the Project Director will deliver regular updates (typically done orally) throughout each stage of the search. In addition, the Project Director will be accessible and responsive to client requests and inquiries.

Task 2 – Develop Position Profile
The City Manager position profile serves as the guide for the entire search process. The development of the profile includes collecting technical information and defining recruitment criteria.

Technical Information
The Project Director will conduct meetings with the City Council, Human Resources, key staff members, and others, as directed by the City, to gain an understanding of the experience and professional background requirements for the City Manager. These meetings will also help the Project Director understand the work environment and the issues facing the City of Irwindale. Meetings will be held in person, or video meetings can also be arranged.

Recruitment Criteria
The recruitment criteria are those personal and professional characteristics and experiences desired in the City Manager. The criteria should reflect the City of Irwindale’s goals and priorities.

Subsequent to the development and adoption of the candidate profile, the technical information and recruitment criteria will be documented in an information brochure prepared by Ralph Andersen & Associates. The City will review the draft brochure, revise it as appropriate, and publish it for use throughout the search.

Optional Service (Community Survey) – The City Council may desire to obtain input from the Community on the qualities they would like to see in the new City Manager. To facilitate Community input, the Project Director is available to conduct an online survey, and/or community “listening sessions”. Additionally, our process can allow for email comments to Ralph Andersen & Associates relating to the desired qualities of the next City Manager. See Cost Section for more details on pricing.

Task 3 – Outreach and Recruiting
This task is among the most important of the entire search. It is the focus of the activities of the Project Director and includes specific outreach and recruiting activities briefly described below.

Outreach
An accelerated outreach and advertising campaign will be developed. It will include the placement of ads in publications such as Western City Magazine, International City/County Management Association (ICMA), and other professional publications. Additionally, a select number of other government-related websites will be used to extend the targeted outreach in a short period of time.

Additionally, the advertisement and the full text of the position profile (the recruitment brochure) will be placed on Ralph Andersen & Associates’ website, which is accessed by a large number of qualified candidates. This method of outreach to potential applicants provides a confidential source that is monitored by many key level executives on an ongoing basis.

Candidate Identification
Ralph Andersen & Associates will use their extensive contacts to focus on the recruiting effort. In making these contacts, the Project Director will reach out directly to individuals who meet the City's criteria. Each candidate identified through the recruiting efforts will

receive an information brochure. Candidates will also be contacted directly to discuss the position and to solicit their interest in being considered.

Both the outreach and recruiting activities will result in applications and resumes from interested candidates. As they are received, resumes will be acknowledged, and candidates will be advised of the general timing of the search process. The following tasks involve the actual selection process once all resumes have been received.

Task 4 – Candidate Evaluation
This task will be conducted following the application closing date. It includes the following specific activities:

Screening
All of the applications will be carefully reviewed. Those that meet the recruitment criteria and minimum qualifications will be identified and subject to a more detailed evaluation. This evaluation will include consideration of such factors as professional experience, and size and complexity of the candidate’s current organization as compared to the candidate’s profile.

Preliminary Research and Internet Review
The research staff of Ralph Andersen & Associates, under the direction of the Project Director, will conduct preliminary research and internet review for those candidates identified as the most qualified as a result of the screening process. This level of research will be conducted on a limited number of candidates to learn more about each candidate’s public profile and related information available online.

Preliminary Interviews (by Recruiters)
The Project Director will conduct preliminary interviews with the top candidates identified through screening, preliminary research, and Internet review. The interviews are extensive and designed to gain additional information about the candidates’ experience, management style, and “fit” with the recruitment criteria. Interviews will be conducted using video technology.

The screening portion of the candidate evaluation process typically reduces a field of applicants to approximately four (4) to six (6) individuals. Those individuals will be reviewed with the City prior to proceeding with the individual interviews.

Task 5 – Search Report
After completing Task 4, all documentation will be electronically supplied to the City (preferred method). The Project Director will prepare detailed information for review, including resumes uploaded to a file-sharing system (i.e., OneDrive or ShareFile). The Project Director will meet with the City Council (in-person or via video) to review the search report on the top candidates. The report divides all of the candidates into four groups, including 1) the top group of candidates that are recommended to be interviewed by the City Council; 2) a backup group to the first group; 3) a group for which no further consideration is required; and 4) a group that lacks minimum qualifications. The Search Report will include candidate resumes and cover letters. The results of preliminary media research will be included. This meeting will result in a confirmed group of top candidates for the City to further consider.

The traditional approach is to conduct a partial background on the top 2-3 candidates with various verifications, internet search, and limited references (outside of the current employer). References for current employers are often not released by candidates until the final stage of the search process when they are assured of being the candidate of choice. Verifications such as credit check, DMV Report, and civil/criminal are typically conducted once a contingent offer is made to the selected

candidate unless the finalist candidate(s) gives explicit approval and sign a release to proceed.

Education checks are conducted before the slate of candidates interviews with the City Council.

The results of the Search Report will be a confirmed group of finalist candidates that the City Council will interview.

Task 6 – Selection
The final selection process will vary depending on the City Council's desires. The typical services provided by Ralph Andersen & Associates in the selection process are described briefly below:
• The Project Director will coordinate the selection process for the finalist group of candidates.

This includes handling logistical matters with candidates and with the City. • Ralph Andersen & Associates will prepare an electronic interview booklet (uploaded to OneDrive file-sharing program) that includes the resume, cover letter, and preliminary media research for each candidate. In addition, this electronic information will include suggested questions and discussion topics based on the recruitment criteria. Electronic copies of the interview booklet will be provided in advance of the candidate interviews. • The Project Director will facilitate the Interviews to assist the City through the selection process. This assistance will include an initial orientation, candidate introductions, and facilitation of discussion of candidates after all interviews have been completed. • Additionally, verifications will be made on the top two candidates and will include education verifications, Department of Motor Vehicle check, criminal and civil check, and credit check.

The results of these verifications will be discussed with the City at the appropriate time. • Reference checks will be conducted on the top candidate. The results of these reference checks will be discussed with the City Council at the appropriate time during a closed session.
• As needed, the Project Director is available to provide assistance to the City Council in the final selection as may be desired. This assistance may include providing or obtaining any additional information needed to support the final selection decision.

Task 7 – Negotiation
The Project Director is available to assist the City Council in negotiating a compensation package with the selected candidate. This includes recommendations on setting compensation levels.

Additionally, Ralph Andersen & Associates can work closely with the City Attorney on the deal points to be included in the employment agreement. As required by the Brown Act, the employment agreement for the new City Manager must be approved and voted on at a regularly scheduled City Council meeting.

Task 8 – Close Out
After the City has reached an agreement with the individual selected for the position, the Project Director will close out the search. These activities will include advising all finalist candidates by telephone on the status of the search.

Project Timing
We anticipate a timeframe of approximately 90 days (or less) from the execution of the agreement between the City and Ralph Andersen & Associates to the presentation of the finalists for an interview. Negotiation with the top candidate will take an additional week after finalist interviews.

A brief overview of the recruitment schedule is presented below (the schedule does not include the transition time for the selected candidate to join the City).

Statement of Proposal Qualifications
Executive Summary
Attracting top talent has never been more complex and Ralph Andersen & Associates is highly qualified to assist City of Irwindale with recruiting its new City Manager. We have conducted more successful executive recruitments than any other recruitment firm since 1972. From helping the City Council create a competency-based interview framework for the new City Manager, including assessing candidates and attracting top human capital, our search professionals offer an unparalleled depth of experience, national reach, and knowledge.

The City has requested our proposal to assist in identifying and recruiting a highly qualified group of candidates for the new City Manager position. In particular, the City is seeking a firm with a strong national presence and professional experience to clearly assess the City’s needs and formulate a strategy to deliver results.

At Ralph Andersen & Associates, we believe that gaining a complete understanding of our client’s specific objectives and priorities is essential prior to launching any search assignment. This process includes identifying and incorporating a range of vital details, such as the candidate’s desired skills and experience, as well as critical “soft skills” related to temperament, personality, management philosophy, and other factors that will ultimately determine the candidate’s “fit” with the organization.

We begin each search by working closely with the City’s leadership, stakeholders, staff, and, if desired, the community, to develop a complete picture of the desired candidate pool. Our teamoriented approach, combined with this 360-degree perspective, ensures that a complete understanding of the organization’s mission and culture translates into the specific traits and characteristics that will enable the selected candidate to succeed in the position.

We understand that the City expects aggressive, personalized outreach to identify a diverse and highly qualified applicant pool and a selection process that includes comprehensive candidate reports based on thorough reference and background checks. We will begin by identifying the desired characteristics and building a recruitment strategy tailored to the City’s specific needs. The resulting outreach and advertising campaign will incorporate extensive personal outreach to recruit a highly qualified group of candidates.

It is recommended that the Irwindale City Council introduce for first reading by title only with further reading waived Ordinance No. 823 entitled, "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IRWINDALE ADDING CHAPTER 2.53 (“CUSTODY AND USE OF OFFICIAL CITY SEAL, CITY INSIGNIA, AND CITY LOGO”) TO TITLE 2 OF THE IRWINDALE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATED TO THE REGULATION OF THE USE OF THE CITY’S OFFICIAL SEAL, CITY INSIGNIA, AND CITY LOGO".

Administrative Action:

Prepared / Submitted by:

Adrian R. Guerra, City Attorney
Approved by:

Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Background and Analysis:

This report provides general background for municipal regulation of the City of Irwindale’s (“City”) official seal, insignia, and logo. Regulation of the City’s official seal, insignia, and logo is within its power under the California Constitution (Cal Const. art XI, §7 (general law cities).) The City by Resolution No. 57-21 adopted an official City Seal. Official City Seal as depicted below:

The City uses a red and yellow circular form bearing the inscription “City of Irwindale” across the top, “Jardin de Roca” across the middle, and “California” across the bottom as a City insignia. City insignia as depicted below:

The City uses a rectangular form depicting two mission-style buildings, two palm trees, and a mountain range in the background, set against a gradient sky, with an inscription across the bottom reading “City of Irwindale” as a city logo, as depicted below:

The City uses the above-described images for official City purposes to identify the City. Currently the Irwindale Municipal Code has no protections in place to ensure that these means of identification are used only in proper circumstances to identify the City and for official City purposes. The lack of protections for the City’s seal, insignia, and logo creates potential concerns for the City and its residents because people may use them and mislead the public that a person, event, or product is officially connected to, or approved by, the City. The proposed ordinance aims to protect the City and its residents from confusion and to ensure the City’s seal, insignia, and logo are used solely for City purposes and in accordance with the City’s mission.

The proposed ordinance for consideration, if adopted, would add Chapter 2.53 to the Irwindale Municipal Code to prohibit use of the City’s seal, insignia, or logo other than for the City’s Official Purposes, or for use pursuant to a City Manager or City Council approved agreement. Violations of this chapter would be a misdemeanor subject to penalties and remedies as provided in Irwindale Municipal Code Chapters 1.12 and 1.16, as well as any other civil, administrative or criminal remedies available under applicable law.

On September 9, 2026, the Ordinance was introduced for first reading. Since then, staff have had further discussions with the City Manager regarding protection of the logo. The City Attorney did additional research, reevaluated the ordinance and is recommending changes to strengthen the City's regulations and ensure the proper use of the City’s official seal, insignia, and logo within the City’s jurisdiction, and prevent their use in a manner that falsely conveys an affiliation with, or sponsorship, endorsement, or approval by the City that the City has not authorized. To that end, the City Attorney has revised the language to require that any use of the City's seal, insignia, or logo must be authorized by a written agreement with the City, and in no event shall the City's seal, insignia, or logo be used for the purpose of conveying, or in a manner reasonably likely to convey, a false impression that the use is affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, approved by, or otherwise connected with the City of Irwindale, when the City has not authorized such affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, approval, or connection.

Based on these changes, the ordinance is being reintroduced for first reading. A resolution establishing a $1,000 fine for violations of the ordinance has also been prepared. Upon final adoption of the ordinance, staff will present the City Council with, and recommend adoption of, the resolution establishing fines for violations of the chapter.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no financial impact as a result of the recommended action.

City Manager's Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Irwindale City Council Introduce for first reading by titled only with further reading waived Ordinance No. 824 ENTITLED, "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IRWINDALE RETITLING AND AMENDING SECTION 3.50.060 (“EXEMPTIONS AND CREDIT FOR EXISTING DEVELOPMENT”) OF CHAPTER 3.50 (“DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES”) OF TITLE 3 (“REVENUE AND FINANCE”) OF THE IRWINDALE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATED TO THE CONVEYANCE OF REAL

Background and Analysis:

Pursuant to Government Code section 66000, et seq., the City is empowered to impose fees and other exactions to fund necessary public facilities required to mitigate the effects of new development in the City.

On JulY 11, 2018, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 726, adding Chapter 3.50 (“Development Impact Fees”) to the Irwindale Municipal Code, establishing a development impact fee requirement for

all new development within the City of Irwindale.

The purpose of the development impact fee program is to fund the acquisition, design, and construction of certain public facilities necessary to serve new development within the city. However, there may be circumstances where an applicant is willing to construct oversized public facilities or convey real property to the City on which public improvements will be located in lieu of paying certain development impact fees for a project.

There are a number of California cities whose ordinances expressly allow a developer's land dedication, construction of public improvements, or financing of public facilities to generate a credit against development impact fees. For example:

The purpose of adopting a mechanism to grant a credit is not to implement an arbitrary municipal “discount” program against development impact fees. The purpose is to offset either the cost or work of constructing or providing certain public facilities or services as a result of the development, which would otherwise be paid for by the DIF program.

The proposed Ordinance establishes a mechanism for a credit against the development impact fee obligation through alternative, non-monetary consideration, where the City Council finds that it is in the best interests of the public. As written, the ordinance requires the City to determine that developer can receive an in-lieu credit against the specific applicable fee to the extent the improvement mitigates the development's attributable impact.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no financial impact as a result of the recommended action.

Ordinance No. 824

“3.50.060 - Exemptions and Credits.

A. For public facilities constructed as part of a development project, the city council may establish policies and procedures for granting a credit against a development impact fee or providing for reimbursement from development impact fees paid by other developers.

B. An applicant may apply to provide a land dedication to the City as a credit against a development impact fee otherwise due, equal to the fair market value of the dedicated land. If the City determines that a credit is appropriate, the owner or developer shall enter into a credit agreement, or other form of written agreement approved by the City Manager, which shall be approved by the City Council. A credit granted at the time of development approval shall be included as a condition of that approval and may be included as a term in a development agreement for the project.

The credit amount shall be initially calculated by estimating the fair market value of the land dedicated, as determined by an appraisal from an independent third party appraisal consultant. The City shall subsequently review and determine the actual value of the land dedicated, and the credit may be adjusted accordingly. Any credit granted shall be given in stated dollar amounts only. In no event shall any credit exceed the total amount of the otherwise applicable impact fee. Any credit granted shall be subject to the following findings:

1. The City Council has determined that the City will accept the land.

2. The City has received and approved an independent third party fair market value appraisal of the land.

3. The City Council has determined that the donated land can be used to achieve the purposes for which the otherwise applicable development impact fee(s) would be assessed.

A credit pursuant to this section shall not apply if a project is otherwise exempt or credited, in whole or in part, from a development impact fee pursuant to section C.

C. A credit against a development impact fee may be granted for nonresidential projects as follows:

1. If the new nonresidential project does not add building square footage or intensity of land use, then it is exempt from paying additional development impact fees.

Ordinance No. 824

2. If the new nonresidential project does not change land use, but adds building square footage, then the increase in square footage will be charged the corresponding development impact fees.

3. If the new nonresidential project does not add square footage, but changes use to a more intense use, then the development impact fees charged will be the difference between those charged to the existing use and the fees charged to the more intense use.

D. A new nonresidential project is subject to paying the full development fee amount when the previous development did not pay impact fees.

E. Development impact fees will be charged for new dwelling units added to a parcel of a residential project. Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) shall not be subject to development impact fees.

F. Development impact fees will be charged at the current multifamily rate for each additional unit in a multifamily project.”
SECTION 3. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance, and each section, subsection, sentence, clause and phrase thereof not declared invalid or unconstitutional without regard to whether any portion of the ordinance would be subsequently declared invalid or unconstitutional.

SECTION 4. The Mayor shall sign this Ordinance and the City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, and shall cause the same to be published and posted pursuant to the provisions of law in this regard, and this Ordinance shall take effect 30 days after its final passage.

ITEM NO. 23A
RFP – RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT – 5100 ALLEN DRIVE & 16154-16158 ARROW

HIGHWAY
The Board took a short recess at 7:48 p.m.

At 7:56 p.m., the Board reconvened with all members present except Board Member Breceda, who abstained from this item and on Item No. 23B.

Executive Director Miranda declared a potential conflict of interest with this item and exited the Council Chambers.

Housing Coordinator Lopez, along with Darin Smith of EPS, presented the report and made a PowerPoint presentation.

General Counsel Guerra advised that the sale of any land would need to comply with the Surplus Land Act and noted that, although selling the land for its appraised value or higher would be legal, developers would still need to determine a way to make the development of affordable housing work financially. He noted that many times, public agencies sell land for a small amount so that the developer could work out the financials to make the project feasible.

HOUSING AUTHORITY MINUTES SEPTEMBER 22, 2026
SPECIAL MEETING PAGE 2
Responding to a question from Board Member Burrola, Coordinator Lopez indicated that the RFP would indicate that the project is for the development of six acres for housing, though it would not be surprising if developers express interest in developing the full 10 acres at Allen Drive. The RFP would also indicate that developers would also be required to provide documents indicating their financial capability to develop the project.

In reply to a question from Chair Ortiz, Mr. Smith advised that developers would typically purchase land at a discount from the public sector, because otherwise they would have to seek subsidies from another source. He added that the RFP would ask potential developers to submit physical diagrams of what they hope to develop, the number of units plus their room count, and a financing plan.

Continuing with this presentation, Coordinator Lopez stated that he has seen very nicely designed apartment buildings that offer housing opportunities to seniors and non-seniors. Said complexes usually include an on-site manager whose job is to take care of any issues that may arise, such as the case at the Las Casitas Senior Apartments.

Board Member Garcia suggested that the RFP contain verbiage that allows the Housing Authority Board to exit the project if one developer is not applying the Board’s preferences so that it could look for another developer, to which Mr. Smith advised that this could be done and advised that an exclusive negotiation agreement sets the ground rules on how to proceed. He further explained that under a ground lease, if applicable, the developer would not be able to develop anything they prefer and, if the land is sold, there are restrictions and covenants that could be negotiated that run with the land.

Board Member Burrola suggested developing 50 lots on 10 acres, to which Coordinator Lopez indicated that townhouses could also be developed which would increase the total number of available housing units. Board Member Burrola suggested developing 50 units on 10 acres.

Responding to a question from General Counsel Guerra, Coordinator Lopez indicated that the housing element submitted to HCD specifies that the Allen Drive site would include three acres of town houses and three of single-family residences, to which General Counsel Guerra advised that producing fewer units than what is specified in the housing element would require HCD approval, though producing a higher number of units may not require it.

Chair Ortiz asked whether increasing acreage from six to ten would delay the project, to which Mr. Smith indicated that the RFP could be modified to indicate any of the Board’s preferences and that this should not cause issues with the HCD as long as the agreed-upon number of units are developed.

Vice Chair Ambriz stated that he could support developing 51 units along the ten acres if it does not cause any further delays, to which Coordinator Lopez suggested moving forward with the existing plans since any changes would cause delays.

In response to a question from Chair Ortiz, Mr. Smith advised that any change that would require modification of the housing element could delay the project by approximately two months. Additionally, if the Board wishes to develop lower density units along the six acres, this will require HCD input.
