Presenter: Maged El-Rabaa, Director of Public Works
Proposed Action: (i) Approve the attached Fee Proposal from NV 5, in the amount of $68,700, for the Preparation of Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E) for the Inverness Drive Storm Drain and Resurfacing Project and to Include $6,300 for Contingencies for a Total not-to-exceed Amount of $75,000; and (ii) Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Task Order in the Amount of $68,700 and any Change Orders up to $6,300, Provided such Change Orders do not Exceed the Total Amount of $75,000
Environmental Impact: Appropriate Environmental Findings will be Considered by the City Council at the Time of Approval of the PS&E
Fiscal Impact: $75,000 is included in the FY2025-26 Budget under Account 31-00- 7000, Project No. 2609, to finance the design cost of the Project Background:

On October 3, 2025, the City Council awarded a contract to thirteen (13) consultants to Provide OnCall Civil Engineering Services on as-needed basis for a period of three (3) years for a total threeyear commitment not-to-exceed the amount of $1,000,000 and authorized the City Manager to execute Task Orders up to $25,000 each provided that that the Task Order does not exceed the total budget amount for the current fiscal year. These engineering services will be performed for capital and other special projects as part of the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) and will be funded in the overall costs of projects as part of the CIP Budget and separately for services not directly related to the CIP.

Discussion/Analysis:

The Inverness Drive Storm Drain and Street Resurfacing Project is part of the adopted Fiscal Year 2025-26 CIP. Currently, Inverness Drive from near 340 to 309 Inverness Drive/Corona Drive experiences flooding and mud flow from the adjoining hillside. To mitigate this flooding, it is proposed to improve the existing detention basin next to 340 Inverness; construct of either a storm drain in the street or an open culvert on the side of the street and to be connected to an existing

County catch basin at Inverness/Corona intersection; and resurface the entire road.

Public Works issued task order requests to three consultants from the approved list of the On-Call consultants for the preparation of Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E). Upon review of the two submitted fee proposals, it was determined that NV5 is the most qualified for the project, and the attached Fee Proposal in the amount of $68,700 for the said services is found to be fair and reasonable. Staff requests an additional amount of $6,300 for contingencies for a total not-to-exceed fee of $75,000.

Since the fee is more than the amount of $25,000 previously authorized by the City Council to the City Manager, Staff recommends that the City Council approves the Fee Proposal submitted by NV 5 to perform the above services and authorize the City Manager to execute the Task Order.

Field Exploration
NV5 proposes the following field exploration program:
• Permitting, Coordination and Utility Clearance: NV5 will coordinate boring locations and apply for a no-fee City of La Canda Flintridge | Design Services Inverness Drive Storm Drain and Resurfacing Project NV5 | 2

SCOPE OF SERVICES
encroachment permit from the City. Environmental permitting is excluded from NV5’s proposed scope of work, and it should be performed by others if required. It is assumed that the City will assist as needed for right of entry. Los Angeles County well/boring permits are not required for the proposed scope of work. Prior to the drilling activities, NV5 will review available utility plans and clear utilities through Underground Service Alert (USA). • Traffic Control: Traffic control will be supplied by an NV’5 subcontractor for each exploration location. It is assumed that standard WATCH and CA MUTCD general plans will suffice. It is assumed that preparation of detailed site-specific traffic control plans is not required.
• Drilling Borings: NV5 will perform up to three (3) pavement cores and proceed to hand-auger borings (no more than two full days of drilling) to depths of 5 feet. The boring locations will be cored to observe and measure the depth of existing asphalt concrete (AC) pavement and aggregate base (if present). • Geotechnical Sampling: In borings California Modified samples and/or Standard Penetration Test (SPT) samples (in accordance with ASTM D1586) will be collected. In addition, large representative bulk samples of auger cuttings will be obtained and collected in the upper 5 feet. Samples will be taken to our laboratory for further visual examination and laboratory testing.
• Logging and Classification: Borings will be performed under the supervision of NV5’s engineer or geologist, who will maintain a detailed log of the borings, assist with obtaining soil samples, and classify the soils in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and Visual-Manual Procedure (ASTM D 2487 and D 2488, respectively) and the Caltrans Soil and Rock Logging, Classification, and Presentation Manual (latest edition). • Groundwater Measurement: Groundwater is not anticipated; however, if groundwater is encountered its depth will be noted on the log.
• Borehole Abandonment: Borings will be backfilled with tamped soil cuttings, and the asphalt will be patched with cold patch asphalt or black-dyed rapid set concrete, as agreed upon by the City. Drumming and disposal of soil cuttings is excluded from the scope.
• Drilling Schedule: NV5 has assumed borings will be performed in a single day during daytime weekday hours (7 am to 5pm, Monday through Friday).
• Hazardous Materials: The scope and fee herein assume the site is not contaminated with hazardous materials. If any materials encountered are suspected to be hazardous, the exploration will be terminated and backfilled and the Client and the City will be notified immediately for further direction. NV5’s field exploration program does not include any environmental investigation, testing, or analyses of chemicals or hazardous material.

Laboratory Testing
The proposed laboratory-testing program is aimed at evaluating the index and engineering properties of the site soils as they relate to design and construction of the project improvements. The exact scope of the laboratory program will be adjusted as required based on ground conditions encountered during field exploration. For planning purposes, the following American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and Caltrans Test Methods (CTM) are considered:
• In-Situ Moisture Content (ASTM D2216) and Dry Density (ASTM D2937); • Grain Size Analysis (Sieve/Hydrometer, ASTM D422);

Subject: Approval and Delegation of Authority to City Manager to Execute a Task Order, in the amount of $70,986, to Willdan Engineering for the Update of the Feasibility Study for the Hay Canyon Stormwater Project and any Change Orders up to $7,014, Provided such Change Orders do not Exceed the Total Amount of $78,000
Presenter: Maged El-Rabaa, Director of Public Works
Proposed Action: (i) Approve the attached Fee Proposal from Willdan Engineering, in the amount of $70,986, to Update the Feasibility Study for the Hay Canyon Stormwater Project and to Include $7,014 for Contingencies for a Total not-to-exceed Fee of $78,000; and (ii) Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Task Order in the Amount of $70,986, and any Change Orders up to $7,014, Provided such Change Orders do not Exceed the Total Amount of $78,000
Environmental Impact: Appropriate Environmental Findings will be considered by the City Council at the time of Approval of Design Plans
Fiscal Impact: There are available funds in FY 2025-26 Budget under Account 1-43- 6061 to finance the amount of $78,000 for the Update of the Feasibility Study for the Hay Canyon Stormwater Project
Background:

In 2019, The City submitted the Hay Canyon Stormwater Project for consideration under the Safe Clean Water Program (SCWP) Technical Resources Program (TRP), where it was evaluated and subsequently selected for the Los Angeles County Public Works (LACDPW) to provide technical support to the City to complete a feasibility study. In 2022, LACDPW completed the study and it was found that the project is technically viable and provides measurable water quality and water supply benefits. Furthermore, the study evaluated opportunities to capture, treat, and infiltrate stormwater runoff from a tributary watershed to the Arroyo Seco and Los Angeles River and identified a preferred alternative consisting of the following:
• Diversion System: Stormwater is diverted from the Hay Canyon Channel via a gravity diversion structure.
• Pretreatment System: Removes trash, sediment, and debris prior to infiltration to improve system performance and longevity.
• Subsurface Infiltration System: Located beneath the tennis courts and/or athletic fields designed as an underground storage and infiltration gallery with 3.2 acre-feet storage

capacity.
• Additional Features include permeable surfaces, rain gardens, and tree planting to provide additional treatment and community benefits.

Discussion/Analysis:

Since completion of the Feasibility Study in 2022, the SCWP has updated its Infrastructure Program requirements, including expanded technical documentation and design-level criteria. Updating the feasibility study to a design-level application package is necessary to meet SCWP requirements for funding under the FY 2027–28 Call for Projects. The application for the FY 2027–28 Call for Projects is due on July 31, 2026.

Public Works solicited a Task Order from Willdan, who is one of the selected On-Call consultants, to provide engineering services consisting of updating the hydrologic water quality modeling to quantify stormwater capture and pollutant reduction benefits; revising the capital and operations and maintenance cost estimates to reflect current conditions; expansion of the feasibility study to meet SCWP design-level requirements, including metrics and monitoring, nature-based solutions, and community benefits; and preparation and submittal of a complete SCWP application package to the Upper Los Angeles River (ULAR) Watershed Area – Infrastructure Program for funding the design phase of the project.

The attached Fee Proposal from Willdan in the amount of $70,986 for the said services is found to be fair and reasonable. Staff requests an additional amount of $7,014 for contingencies for a total not-to-exceed fee of $78,000.

Since the fee is more than the amount of $25,000 previously authorized by the City Council to the City Manager, Staff recommends that the City Council approves the Fee Proposal submitted by Willdan Engineering to perform the above services and authorize the City Manager to execute the Task Order.

Options:

1. (i) Approve the attached Fee Proposal from Willdan Engineering, in the amount of $70,986, to Update the Feasibility Study for the Hay Canyon Stormwater Project and to Include $7,014 for Contingencies for a Total not-to-exceed Fee of $78,000; and (ii) Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Task Order in the Amount of $70,986, and any Change Orders up to $7,014, Provided such Change Orders do not Exceed the Total Fee Amount of $78,000; or

2. Provide further directions to staff
Recommendation:

Option No. 1 - It is recommended that the City Council take the following action(s): (i) Approve the attached Fee Proposal from Willdan Engineering, in the amount of $70,986, to Update the Feasibility Study for the Hay Canyon Stormwater Project and to Include $7,014 for Contingencies for a Total not-to-exceed Fee of $78,000; and (ii) Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Task Order in the Amount of $70,986, and any Change Orders up to $7,014, Provided such Change Orders do not Exceed the Total Fee Amount of $78,000.

Proposed Action: (i) Approve the attached Fee Proposal from TAIT and Associates, Inc., in the amount of $116,792 for the Preparation of Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E) for the Hillard Avenue Street Improvements Project and to Include $32,658 for Optional Tasks for a Total not-toexceed Amount of $149,450; and (ii) Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Task Order in the Amount of $116,792 and any Change Orders up to $25,000 Each, Provided such Change Orders do not Exceed the Total Amount of $149,450
Environmental Impact: Appropriate Environmental Findings will be Considered by the City Council at the Time of Approval of the PS&E
Fiscal Impact: The current Project Budget is $150,000 ($100,000 in Local Measure R Funds and $50,000 in General Funds), of which $46,000 has been spent in prior years on the preparation of a Survey and Concept Plan.

The remaining balance of $104,000 is included in the FY 2025-26 Budget under Account 31-00-7000, Project No. 2609, to finance the design cost of the Project. Staff is requesting an additional $250,000 of available Local Measure R Funds in FY 2026-27 Budget Proposal toward the design and construction costs of the Project. Additional Funds to finance the construction costs will be requested in FY 2026- 27 upon completion of the PS&E
Background:

In October 2023, Public Works issued a Task Order, in the amount of $24,170, to Onward Engineering, who was one of the selected On-Call Consultants, for the preparation of a Conceptual Plan for the Hillard Avenue Street Improvements Project from Foothill Boulevard to Fairmount Avenue. The Consultant developed three (3) alternatives consisting of widening of the travel lanes within the existing right-of-way, constructing curbs, gutters and sidewalks in the southern segment of the road from Foothill Boulevard to near 4720 Hillard Ave to match the northern segment, and installation of chicanes at various locations to reduce the speed on the road. These alternatives were

presented to the residents at a public meeting and the feedback received was to consider additional options.

On October 3, 2025, the City Council awarded a contract to thirteen (13) consultants to Provide OnCall Civil Engineering Services on as-needed basis for a period of three (3) years for a total threeyear commitment not-to-exceed the amount of $1,000,000 and authorized the City Manager to execute Task Orders up to $25,000 each provided that that the Task Order does not exceed the total budget amount for the current fiscal year. These engineering services will be performed for capital and other special projects as part of the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) and will be funded in the overall costs of projects as part of the CIP Budget and separately for services not directly related to the CIP.

Discussion/Analysis:

The Hillard Avenue Street Improvements Project is part of the adopted Fiscal Year 2025-26 CIP.

Currently, Hillard Avenue from near 4720 Hillard Avenue to Foothill Boulevard has a different crosssection with narrower travel lanes and no curbs and gutters which does not match the segment northerly to Fairmount Avenue. In addition, the asphalt pavement is in poor condition that may require more extensive repair than the typical pavement resurfacing. Furthermore, Public Works has received complaints from resident about excessive speeding on the road.

Public Works requested a task order from TAIT and Associates, who is one of the selected On-Call consultants, for the preparation of Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E). The attached Fee Proposal includes a base fee in the amount of $116,792 plus $32,658 for optional tasks consisting of additional geotechnical investigation, survey and structural calculations, if required, which are found to be fair and reasonable.

Since the fee is more than the amount of $25,000 previously authorized by the City Council to the City Manager, Staff recommends that the City Council approves the Fee Proposal submitted by TAIT and Associates to perform the above services and authorize the City Manager to execute the Task Order and any change orders up to $25,000 each, provided such change orders do not exceed the total amount of $149,450.

Options:

1. (i) Approve the attached Fee Proposal from TAIT and Associates, Inc., in the amount of $116,792 for the Preparation of Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E) for the Hillard Avenue Street Improvements Project and to Include $32,658 for Optional Tasks for a Total not-to-exceed Amount of $149,450; and (ii) Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Task Order in the Amount of $116,792 and any Change Orders up to $25,000 Each, Provided such Change Orders do not Exceed the Total Amount of $149,450; or

2. Provide further directions to staff.

Recommendation:

Option No. 1 - It is recommended that the City Council take the following action(s): (i) Approve the attached Fee Proposal from TAIT and Associates, Inc., in the amount of $116,792 for the Preparation of Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E) for the Hillard Avenue Street Improvements Project and to Include $32,658 for Optional Tasks for a Total not-to-exceed Amount of $149,450; and (ii) Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Task Order in the Amount of $116,792 and any Change Orders up to $25,000 Each, Provided such Change Orders do not Exceed the Total Amount of $149,450

RE: Proposal for Hillard Avenue Improvements from Foothill Blvd. to Fairmount Ave.

TAIT & Associates, Inc. (TAIT) is pleased to submit the enclosed proposal to provide Civil Engineering Services in response to your Task Order Request for Hillard Avenue Improvements from Foothill Blvd. to Fairmount Ave. All proposed design improvements will be conducted as part of TAIT’s On-Call Engineering Agreement with the City La Cañada Flintridge (City).

Project Understanding
As noted in the Task Order Scope of Services, the project limits for this section of Hillard Avenue span from Foothill Boulevard on the south to Fairmount Avenue on the north. This segment of Hillard Avenue is approximately 4,100 linear feet in length.  Hillard Avenue is a narrow, tree-lined residential collector roadway. On-street parking is generally allowed on both sides of the street, with no parking signs located in certain, localized restricted areas.
 The pavement is in poor condition. The north half of the roadway generally contains curb & gutter, whereas the south half of the roadway does not.  The City has received numerous complaints about excessive speeding.  The anticipated scope of work includes new pavement, curb & gutter, sidewalk, and safety measures to reduce the speed of motorists.
 The City has had 3 different design concepts prepared for the roadway improvements. All 3 concepts include new curb and gutter and widening the roadway to account for 2 travel lanes as well as a striped parking lane. The difference with the 3 concepts is proposed sidewalk improvements (east side only, west side only, both sides).  Geotechnical investigations will likely be required to analyze existing pavement and subgrade conditions, and to provide repair/rehabilitation recommendations.

PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK
Based on our review of the City’s scope of work, answers received from City staff to questions, and a mapping review of the project, the following scope of work is proposed:

Background:

The Political Reform Act mandates that local government agencies review their Conflict of Interest Codes every two years to ensure accuracy and make any necessary amendments to the designated positions and reporting categories.

Discussion/Analysis:

The Political Reform Act (California Government Code § 87306.5) requires every local government agency to review its Conflict of Interest Code (Code) of designated positions and reporting categories every two years to determine whether it is accurate or if amendments are required.

Not later than July 1st of each even-numbered year, the Code reviewing body (the City Council) must direct its jurisdiction (i.e., City staff) to review its Code. By October 1, a Local Agency Biennial Notice must be filed with the Code reviewing body indicating whether amendments are necessary.

The City last reviewed the Code in 2024. Staff then reviewed it and determined that amendments were required. Subsequently, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 24-32, adding new designated positions to the Code.

Following a comprehensive review this year, staff will return to the City Council in September with any proposed updates to the Code for final adoption. Staff recommends that the City Council direct staff to review the Code for amendments by September 2026.

Options:

1. Direct staff to review the City’s Conflict of Interest Code for amendments and authorize the City Manager to execute the 2026 Local Agency Biennial Review Notice indicating whether amendments are required no later than October 1, 2026; or

City Council Agenda Report
Meeting Date: May 19, 2026
Subject: Approval of the Contract Renewal with Outlook Newspapers for FY 2026-27 Receive
Presenter: Arabo Parseghian, Assistant City Manager
Proposed Action: (1) Award a one-year contract to Outlook Newspapers for Publication and Legal Notice Services for a not-to-exceed amount of $90,000, (2) waive the formal bidding process, and (3) authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement
Environmental Impact: This action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines Fiscal Impact: Not-to-exceed amount of $90,000. Sufficient funds have been requested in FY 2026-27 budget in various programs, City Clerk (04), Public Information & Special Events (13), & Public Safety (21) Background:

The City of La Cañada Flintridge is required by the City’s Municipal Code, as well as State and Federal laws, to publish legal notices and other official announcements in a newspaper of general circulation. Outlook Newspapers is an adjudicated newspaper of general circulation under California Government Code Sections 6000–6008 within the City, making it eligible to meet these statutory requirements.

The City has historically utilized Outlook Newspapers as its primary publication for legal notices, public hearings, ordinances, and community communications.

Discussion/Analysis:

The proposed agreement for FY 2026–27 continues the City’s use of Outlook Newspapers for publication services on a non-exclusive basis, allowing flexibility to utilize other outlets when appropriate.

Outlook Newspapers has provided updated pricing for FY 2026–27, reflecting a 5% increase across all service categories. The updated rates are as follows:

Legal Advertising
• $7.74 per line (previously $7.37)

Display Advertising
• Full Page: $966 (previously $920) + $300 for color
• Half Page: $546 (previously $520) + $300 for color
• Quarter Page: $273 (previously $260) + $300 for color • Eighth Page: $137 (previously $130) + $300 for color
These increases are consistent with general cost adjustments and remain within a reasonable range for publication services. The agreement continues to provide the City with:
• A legally compliant platform for required public notices • A well-established local publication with community reach • Flexibility through a non-exclusive agreement structure As noted in prior years, staff evaluated alternative publication options and confirmed that Outlook Newspapers remains the primary viable local provider that satisfies legal noticing requirements while effectively reaching the community. Therefore, the staff recommends waiving the formal bidding process pursuant to sole source procurement guidelines.

Options:

1. Motion to (1) Award a one-year contract to Outlook Newspapers for Publication and Legal Notice Services for a not-to-exceed amount of $90,000, (2) waive the formal bidding process, and (3) authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement

2. Provide staff with further direction.

Recommendation:

Option No. 1 - It is recommended that the City Council take the following action(s): Motion to (1) Award a one-year contract to Outlook Newspapers for Publication and Legal Notice Services for a not-to-exceed amount of $90,000, (2) waive the formal bidding process, and (3) authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement

Fiscal Impact: The City Council previously approved the First Amendment to the City Manager Employment Agreement, which increases the City Manager's base salary from $230,000 to $270,000 annually, effective May 16, 2026. The fiscal impact for the period of May 16, 2026 through June 30, 2026, will be absorbed within the FY 2025-26 operating budget.

The ongoing compensation and related benefit costs will be incorporated into the FY 2026-27 operating budget
Discussion/Analysis:

The proposed resolution amends the City salary schedule to reflect the revised City Manager salary of $270,000 annually, or $22,500 monthly, effective May 16, 2026. No other classification or salary range is proposed to be changed through this action. This item is administrative in nature and updates the publicly available salary schedule to reflect the salary adjustment already approved by the City Council through the First Amendment.

Options:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 26-XX amending the City salary schedule to reflect the revised City Manager's salary; or

2. Provide alternative direction to the staff.

Recommendation:

Option No. 1 - Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-XX amending the City salary schedule to reflect the revised City Manager salary of $270,000 annually, effective May 16, 2026.

Program Description
The City Manager is the chief executive officer appointed by the City Council to manage the day-to-day affairs of the City and ensure implementation of City Council policies and directives. The City Manager's responsibilities includes hiring City staff, monitoring the performance of contract personnel, and ensuring the effective and efficient execution of City programs, policies, and services. The City Manager also collaborates with the City Council in setting the City's overall policy and strategic direction, and interacts extensively with residents and community organizations.

Budget Highlights
The reorganized City Manager’s Office program reflects a structural consolidation of positions previously budgeted under the Administration program (09), resulting in an increased personnel allocation in FY 2025–26. The program will consist of four full-time and one part-time employee and is positioned to take a more direct role in implementing the City Council’s highest-priority initiatives. In FY 2026–27, a key enhancement is the addition of funding for a grant management consultant. This resource will support the City in securing external funding, with a focus on emergency preparedness and capital improvement projects. 519,440
