Discussion ensued regarding the $25,000 training budget for Goal Setting, that Council Member Keo suggested that the City Council eliminate this spending for a consultant; and clarification that if the City did not do the planned fund transfers, the 10-year forecast would not show a deficit.
Public Input:
Gerard Goedhart, a La Palma resident, addressed the City Council regarding the lack of assumptions in the Staff Report; opposition to the deficit; that the Staff Report did not explain how to fix the deficit; that the estimates in the proposal are high; that he is troubled by the proposed 10-year forecast; the previous history of La Palma's finances and the cuts made to resolve concerns; the current economic uncertainty; opposition to the City Council voting in favor of the labor agreements and address the deficit with labor groups that could result in job losses; and ensure the City's financial future by not thinking shortterm.
Council discussion ensued regarding the 3.5% percent increase in property taxes projected each year, but the actual is going up 6%; that the City consistently uses more conservative numbers when making assumptions for the fiscal budget forecast; that only in Fiscal Year 2008-09 was the 3.5% increase not achieved; that other assumptions used for this forecast is the anticipated sales tax increase that is expected; that the TOT was assumed below last year's total, even though it might increase by 1%; that once the City stopped reliance on the bulk fuel source, we stopped adding it to the budget altogether; that bulk fuel is no longer counted as revenue when making projections; that even if the City goes into a recession, it only means we won't see as large of a surplus as presented; that it is likely that our revenue will balance itself out because the City projects and makes assumptions on lower than expected revenue; that Staff took a 10% pay cut in the past; that Staff was

underpaid when compared to other comparable cities; and a brief history of the previous Staff cuts and labor agreements.

May 6, 2025
None.
Public Input:
Gerard Goedhart, a La Palma resident, addressed the City Council regarding his affirmation of previous comments urging the City Council not to approve the labor agreements; the potential deficit; that the City has already increased the TOT and fees; and asked the City Council to renegotiate with Staff.
Scott Yasuda, a La Palma resident, addressed the City Council regarding his support for former Council Member Goedhart's comments; that he would implore the City Council to postpone the labor agreements until a deeper analysis of revenues is examined; and his concern on how bankruptcy would affect a city and its residents.
Mayor Pro Tem Patel repeated the City's conservative fiscal projections even during the downturn during COVID; that after COVID, the City had a $150,000 surplus; that Staff does not account for true revenues which helps during stagnate growth; that even today, the City's sales tax has not declined while the state sales tax has declined by 2%; that the reason for the deficit on paper is a result of the City Council transferring funds from the General Fund to other funds; that again, Staff does not account for bulk fuel revenue; that the City Council will be able to reevaluate where the City stands financially at the next labor negotiations in 3 years in FY 2028-29; that the City Council has a reopener clause in all labor agreements in case there is a future financial crisis; the City Council has always taken a conservative and cautious approach to the budget; the Financial Consultant's history and expertise in the field of finance; that there is no certainty regarding the economy; that projections were not made with respect to tariff impacts; that it is more prudent to act with caution with the proper safeguards, than to react out of fear; Mayor Pro Tem Patel's support for the proposals; that the same financial projections are being made today that were made during the previous presidential administration; that City Attorney Thind confirmed that all the labor agreements have a reopener clause in case of significant revenue downfalls; and that Mayor Pro Tem Patel suggested that Staff can keep the City Council abreast of sales tax numbers on a quarterly basis if he gives direction to do so at a later time.

MEETING DATE: June 3, 2025
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Jake Chavira, Public Works Manager
AGENDA TITLE: Ratification of an Award of Contract to Big Ben Engineering for Emergency Water Infrastructure Repairs
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the Interim City Manager, or their designee, to ratify the award of a contract in the amount of $60,078.77 to Big Ben Engineering for the completion of emergency water infrastructure repairs.
SUMMARY:
This agenda item seeks City Council ratification of an award of a contract to Big Ben Engineering in the amount of $60,078.77 for emergency water infrastructure repairs performed in December 2024.
These emergency efforts included multiple water main and service line repairs, site restoration, and critical work necessary to prevent delays to the Various Median Islands Project.
BACKGROUND:
In early December 2024, the City experienced a series of emergency incidents that required immediate contractor assistance, including significant water main failures, service line leaks, and theft of irrigation infrastructure. Due to a lack of availability from the City’s primary emergency contractor, E&R Construction, the Public Works Department contacted Big Ben Engineering. Big Ben has over a decade of successful project experience with the City and was able to mobilize rapidly to assist with emergency work. In addition to addressing urgent water infrastructure repairs, Big Ben was also asked to complete key items in support of the ongoing Street Median Replacement and Enhancement CIP to prevent project delays and protect recently installed landscaping.
EMERGENCY WATER SYSTEM REPAIRS
Agenda Item No. 5 June 3, 2025 | 2
On December 3, 2024, City staff responded to a major water main break at 8021 Ainsworth Lane.
With E&R Construction unavailable, Big Ben Engineering was contacted for emergency response.
Their crew remained on site from the afternoon of December 3rd through the morning of December 5th, completing critical repairs that included the abandonment and installation of three water service connections, replacement of approximately seven feet of 6-inch water main, backfilling of the excavation, and cleanup of mud and debris from affected streets. Additional support included a complex water service leak repair at 7792 Kelly Circle, where City staffing limitations hindered inhouse response. Big Ben was also asked to perform final paving work at this location to prevent extended surface damage and maintain safety. Their timely response and proven experience helped minimize water service disruptions and reduce impacts on residents.
VARIOUS MEDIAN ISLANDS PROJECT SUPPORT WORK
While mobilized on Kelly Circle, Big Ben Engineering was directed to install a 2-inch water meter at 4924 La Palma Avenue to support ongoing work on the Various Median Islands Project. This task was completed ahead of schedule to avoid project delays as the median contractor approached the area.
Shortly after, the theft of three irrigation backflow devices jeopardized the survival of newly planted landscaping. To prevent loss of plant material during an unseasonably warm and dry December, Big Ben was approved to perform emergency replacements at 7659 Moody Street and 5605 La Palma Avenue. Additionally, concrete pads were installed beneath the new devices at various locations to allow for the installation of protective security cages once median construction concludes. These tasks were essential to keeping the Various Median Islands Project on schedule.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total cost of emergency repairs and median project support work performed by Big Ben Engineering is $60,078.77. Sufficient funding is available in the Water Transmission Professional Services Account: 050-460-6000-00000 for the amount of $39,355.09. Sufficient funding is available in the Various Median Islands project Account: 010-900-8134-00000 in the amount of $20,723.68.

4.3.1 Default of Insurance Requirements. In addition to any other remedies at law or equity the City may have if the Consultant fails to provide or maintain any insurance policies or policy endorsements to the extent and within the time required by Section 3.9 herein, the City may, at its sole option, exercise any of the following remedies, which are alternatives to other remedies the City may have and are not the exclusive remedy for the Consultant’s breach:
(a) Obtain such insurance and deduct and retain the amount of the premiums for such insurance from any sums due under this Agreement; (b) Order the Consultant to stop work under this Agreement or withhold any payment that becomes due to the Consultant hereunder, or both, until the Consultant demonstrates compliance with the insurance requirements herein; and/or
(c) Immediately terminate this Agreement.

(b) Take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract with another consultant or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder, including costs incurred by the City in retaining a replacement consultant and similar expenses, exceeds the Budget contained in Exhibit “B”.
4.4 Force Majeure. Any time period specified in this Agreement for performance of services shall be extended because of any delays due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the City or the Consultant, including, but not restricted to, acts of God or of the public enemy, unusually severe weather, fires, earthquakes, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, riots, strikes, freight embargoes, wars, litigation, and/or acts of any governmental agency, including the City, if the delaying Party shall within ten (10) days of the commencement of such delay notify the other Party in writing of the causes of the delay Docusign Envelope ID: 4DD9412D-4845-4919-8A27-0F0C30DE0273
2905/001784-0004
17755749.3 a05/28/25 -11-
(“Force Majeure Event”). If the Consultant is the delaying Party, the City shall ascertain the facts and the extent of delay, and extend the time for performing the services for the period of the enforced delay when and if in the judgment of the City such delay is justified. The City’s determination shall be final and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. In no event shall the Consultant be entitled to recover damages against the City for any delay in the performance of this Agreement, however caused. The Consultant’s sole remedy shall be extension of this Agreement pursuant to this section. For the avoidance of doubt, Force Majeure shall not include (a) financial distress nor the inability of either party to make a profit or avoid a financial loss, (b) changes in the market prices or conditions, or (c) a party’s financial inability to perform its obligations hereunder. The current events related to the COVID-19 pandemic are known and shall not constitute Force Majeure Event, future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic may be considered a Force Majeure Event to the extent that they prevent the performance of a Party's obligations under this Agreement.

A. Public Work. The Consultant hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that the City has never previously affirmatively represented to the Consultant, its employees or agents in writing or otherwise that the work to be covered under this Agreement is not a “public work,” as defined in Section 1720 of the Labor Code. It is agreed by the Parties that, in connection with the development, construction (as defined by applicable law) and operation of the project, including, without limitation, any public work (as defined by applicable law), if any, the Consultant shall bear all risks of payment or non-payment of state and/or federal prevailing wages and/or the implementation of Labor Code Sections 1726 and 1781, as the same may be enacted, adopted or amended from time to time, and/or any other provision of law. To the extent applicable, the City will enforce all penalties required by law for the Consultant’s failure to pay prevailing wages.
B. Labor Code of California. The Consultant’s attention is directed to Division 2, Part 7, Chapter 1 of the Labor Code of the State of California and especially to Article 2 (Wages); and Article 3 (Working Hours), thereof.
1. In accordance with Sections 1773 and 1773.2 of the Labor Code, the City has found and determined the general prevailing rates of wages in the locality in which the public work is to be performed are those determined by the Director of Industrial Relations and available at https://www.dir.ca.gov/OPRL/2022- 1/PWD/Southern.html.Copies of the prevailing rates of wages are maintained with the City’s principal office and are available to any interested party on request. The Consultant shall post a copy of the prevailing rate of per diem wages at each job site.
2.

Agenda Item No. 6
MEETING DATE: June 3, 2025
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Jake Chavira, Public Works Manager
AGENDA TITLE: 2025 Annual Water Quality Report
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file the Draft 2025 Annual Water Quality Report and direct staff to distribute the report to the City of La Palma residents.
SUMMARY:
Since 1990, California public water utilities have been providing an annual Water Quality Report to their customers. This year’s report is expected to be delivered to residents by July 1st and covers drinking water quality testing and reporting for calendar year 2024. The City of La Palma Public Works Department works vigilantly to safeguard its water supply and, as in years past, the water delivered to the homes met the water quality standards required by Federal and State regulatory agencies. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) are the agencies responsible for establishing and enforcing drinking water quality standards. This report has no significant changes from the previous Water Quality Report. In addition, though rarely used, this report includes Water Quality data from Metropolitan Water District (MWD).
BACKGROUND:
The California Domestic Water Quality and Monitoring Regulations (Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations) requires that each community’s water system distribute to each customer an Annual Water Quality Report on the water purveyed. Additionally, the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Consumer Confidence Rule requires public water suppliers that serve the same customers throughout the year to provide consumer
Agenda Item No. 6 June 3, 2025 | 2
confidence reports (CCR) to their customers. These reports are also known as annual water quality reports or drinking water quality reports.
The 2025 Annual Water Quality Report (Attachment 1) provides information to the City Council and the public on the current water quality and future issues facing the City of La Palma (City) and its water consumers. The City’s current potable water quality is safe to drink.
ANALYSIS:
Since the 1960’s, there have been reports of mild water coloration. This is a result of metals in the groundwater such as Iron and Manganese. These metals occur naturally in soils, rocks, and minerals. In the aquifer, when groundwater comes into contact with these solid materials they begin to dissolve and release constituents that cause coloring issues in the water. Red and brown colors are due to iron; black is due to manganese; while yellow is due to dissolved organic matter such as tannins. Currently, Iron and Manganese are categorized as a Secondary Drinking Water Standard, which are not health-threatening, non-enforceable guidelines to help regulate contaminants that may cause cosmetic effects (such as skin or tooth discoloration) or aesthetic effects (such as taste, odor, or color) in drinking water. As such, the EPA and the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) have not issued public health goals (PHGs) nor required maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs) for these constituents because secondary standards are set on the basis of aesthetic concerns.
In the event an agency surpasses the recommended MCL for secondary drinking water standards, the agency should simply notify their governing board. At this time, there are no MCL concerns for Iron nor Manganese to report. For example, the Manganese MCL is set at 50 parts per billion (ppb), however, the local groundwater levels are at 40 ppb.
Arsenic is a semi-metal element that has been detected in the City’s groundwater since the 1960’s. It is odorless and tasteless. It can enter drinking water supplies from natural deposits in the earth, through agricultural activities, or industrial practices. According to the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) of the California Environmental Protection Agency, ingestion of arsenic can pose a risk of cancer (such as lung and urinary bladder cancer) up to one excess case of cancer per million people per 70-year lifetime. At higher levels of exposure, arsenic can also result in a number of non-cancerous issues such as vascular or skin effects.
Arsenic is a Primary Drinking Water Standard. As a result, primary standards are legally enforceable standards that apply to public water systems and require water agencies to protect public health by limiting the levels of contaminants in the drinking water. Therefore, the State of California revised the arsenic MCL from 50 to 10 ppb on November 28, 2008.
Among the City’s two well sites, the City is currently at 8.7 ppb. Concentrations of arsenic have been detected primarily at the City Yard well site and have been as high as 9 ppb.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of thousands of manmade chemicals that are used to make carpets, clothing, fabrics for furniture, food packaging, cookware, and other materials to make them non-stick and/or resistant to water, oil, and stains. They are
Agenda Item No. 6 June 3, 2025 | 3
also used in a number of industrial processes and firefighting activities. According to the EPA, current peer-reviewed scientific studies have shown that exposure to certain levels of PFAS may lead to: Reproductive effects such as decreased fertility or increased high blood pressure in pregnant women. As such, the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires that once every five years the EPA issues a list of unregulated contaminants to be monitored by public water systems. The City is currently adhering to the fifth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 5) that was published on December 27, 2021. UCMR 5 requires sample collection for 30 chemical contaminants between 2023 and 2025 using analytical methods developed by EPA and consensus organizations. This action provides EPA and other interested parties with scientifically valid data on the national occurrence of these contaminants in drinking water. Consistent with EPA’s PFAS Strategic Roadmap, UCMR 5 will provide new data that is critically needed to improve EPA’s understanding of the frequency that 29 PFAS (and lithium) are found in the nation’s drinking water systems and at what levels. This data will ensure science-based decision-making and help prioritize protection of disadvantaged communities. This data will ensure science-based decisionmaking and help prioritize various health protections.
The City of La Palma last sampled for PFAS in 2024. All sample results were Non-Detect (ND). The City is currently scheduled to sample both wells for PFAS this year.
For the Orange County Groundwater Basin, PFAS primarily enters via the Santa Ana River (SAR) where flows infiltrate into the basin. This occurs through treated wastewater discharges and stormwater runoff from upstream communities in San Bernardino and Riverside counties. Chemical manufacturers are the original source of PFAS chemicals.
Despite playing no role in releasing PFAS into the environment, cities and water agencies must find ways to remove it from their local water supply. This can be accomplished through potentially blending clean water into the system to reduce contaminants or through the construction of treatment facilities. Fortunately, as a groundwater partner agency of the Orange County Water District (OCWD), in the event PFAS is detected, OCWD will cover the entire cost for local treatment facilities and 50% of the maintenance cost.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost to prepare, design, and print the 2025 Water Quality Report is approximately $5,045, and the estimated cost to distribute it is $1,500. Although only $5,000 has been budgeted (050-430-6540-00000), there is sufficient funding within the Water Administration Division budget to cover the $1,545 overage.

Source Water Assessment
Imported (MWDSC) Water Assessment
Every five years, MWDSC is required by DDW to examine
possible sources of drinking water contamination in its State Water Project and Colorado River source waters. The most recent surveys for MWDSC’s source waters are the Colorado River Watershed Sanitary Survey—2020 Update and the State Water Project Watershed Sanitary Survey—2021 Update. Water from the Colorado River is considered to be most vulnerable to contamination from recreation, urban/stormwater runoff, increasing urbanization in the watershed, and wastewater. Water supplies from Northern California’s State Water Project are most vulnerable to contamination from urban/stormwater runoff, wildlife, agriculture, recreation, and wastewater.
U.S. EPA also requires MWDSC to complete a source water assessment (SWA) that uses information collected in the watershed sanitary surveys. MWDSC completed its SWA in
December 2002. The SWA is used to evaluate the vulnerability of water sources to contamination and helps determine whether more protective measures are needed. A copy of the most recent summary of the Watershed Sanitary Surveys or the SWA can be obtained by calling MWDSC at (800) CALL-MWD (800-
225-5693).
Groundwater Assessment
An assessment of the drinking water sources for the City was completed in December 2002. The groundwater sources are considered most vulnerable to the following activities not associated with detected contaminants: body shops,
chemical/petroleum processing/storage, electrical/electronic manufacturing, gas stations, historic gas stations, known contaminant plumes, machine shops, metal plating/finishing/ fabricating, photo processing/printing, repair shops, sewer collection systems, and wastewater treatment and disposal facilities. A copy of the complete assessment is available at State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water, 2 MacArthur Place, Suite 150, Santa Ana, CA 92707. Further information and a summary of the assessments are available by contacting the City of La Palma at (714) 690-3310.
Sources of Supply
The City’s water supply is groundwater managed by the OCWD and treated surface water from Northern California and the Colorado River managed by the MWDSC.
OCWD’s groundwater comes from a natural underground
aquifer that is replenished with water from the Santa Ana River, local rainfall, and imported water. The groundwater basin is 350 square miles and lies beneath north and central Orange County from Irvine to the Los Angeles County border and from Yorba Linda to the Pacific Ocean. More than 20 cities and retail water districts draw from the basin to provide water to homes and businesses.
Your 2025 Water Quality Report
Since 1990, California public water utilities have been providing an annual Water Quality Report, also known as the Consumer Confidence Report, to their customers. This year’s report covers drinking water quality testing and reporting for 2024. Your City of La Palma Community Development & Public Works Department vigilantly safeguards its water supply, and as in years past, the water delivered to your home meets the quality standards required by federal and state regulatory agencies. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) and the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), Division of Drinking Water (DDW) are the agencies responsible for establishing and enforcing drinking water quality standards.
In some cases, the City goes beyond what is required by testing for unregulated chemicals that may have known health risks but do not have drinking water standards. For example, the Orange County Water District (OCWD), which manages the groundwater basin, tests for unregulated chemicals in our water supply. Unregulated chemical monitoring helps U.S. EPA and DDW determine where certain chemicals occur and whether new standards need to be established for those chemicals to protect public health.
Through drinking water quality testing programs carried out by OCWD for groundwater, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWDSC) for treated surface water, and the City for the water distribution system, your drinking water is constantly monitored from source to tap for regulated and unregulated contaminants. The state allows the City to monitor for some contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently. Some of our data, though representative, is more than a year old.
Important Health Information
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.
Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer
undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health-care providers. U.S. EPA/Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791).
We Invite You to Learn More About
Your Water’s Quality
For information about this report, or your water quality in general, please contact the Community Development & Public Works Department at (714) 690-
3310. For more information about the health effects of
the listed contaminants in the following tables, call the U.S. EPA hotline at (800) 426-4791. The city council
meets on the first Tuesday of every month at 6:30 p.m.
in the City Council Chambers, located at 7822 Walker
Street. Please feel free to participate in these meetings.
Quality Water is Our Priority
Turn the tap and the water flows, as if by magic. Or so it seems. The reality is considerably different. Delivering high-quality drinking water to our customers is a scientific and engineering feat that requires considerable effort and talent to ensure the water is always there, always safe to drink. Because tap water is highly regulated by state and federal laws, water treatment and distribution operators must be licensed.
Our licensed water professionals have an understanding of a wide range of subjects, including mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering. Some of the tasks they complete on a regular basis include:
• Operating and maintaining equipment to purify and
clarify water;
• Monitoring and inspecting machinery, meters, gauges,
and operating conditions;
• Conducting tests and inspections on water and evaluating the results;
• Documenting and reporting test results and system
operations to regulatory agencies; and
• Serving our community through customer support,
education, and outreach.
So the next time you turn on your faucet, think of the skilled professionals who stand behind every drop.
About Lead in Tap Water
Lead can cause serious health effects in people of all ages, especially pregnant people, infants (both formula-fed and breastfed), and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and parts used in service lines and home plumbing. The City of La Palma is responsible for providing high-quality drinking water and removing lead pipes but cannot control the variety of materials used in the plumbing in your home. Because lead levels may vary over time, lead exposure is possible even when your tap sampling results do not detect lead at one point in time. You can help protect yourself and your family by identifying and removing lead materials within your home plumbing and taking steps to reduce your family’s risk. Using a filter certified by an American National Standards Institute–accredited certifier to reduce lead is effective in reducing lead exposures.
Follow the instructions provided with the filter to ensure it is used properly. Use only cold water for drinking, cooking, and making baby formula. Boiling does not remove lead
from water.
Before using tap water for drinking, cooking, or making baby formula, flush your pipes for several minutes. You can do this by running your tap, taking a shower, or doing laundry or a load of dishes. If you have a lead or galvanized service line requiring replacement, you may need to flush your pipes for a longer period. If you are concerned about lead and wish to have your water tested, contact the City of La Palma Community Development & Public Works Department at (714) 690-3310.
Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available at epa. gov/safewater/lead.
Orange County’s Water Future
For years, Orange County has enjoyed an abundant and
seemingly endless supply of highquality water. As water demand continues to increase statewide, we
must be even more conscientious
about our water supply and
maximize the efficient use of this
precious natural resource. OCWD
and the Municipal Water District
of Orange County (MWDOC)
work cooperatively to evaluate new and innovative water management and supply development programs, including
water reuse and recycling, wetlands expansion, recharge facility construction, ocean and brackish water desalination, surface storage, and water use efficiency programs. These efforts are helping to enhance long-term countywide water reliability and water quality.
A healthy water future for Orange County rests on finding and developing new water supplies, as well as protecting and improving the quality of the water that we have today. Your local and regional water agencies are committed to making the necessary investments in new water management projects today to ensure an abundant and high-quality water supply for our future.
Arsenic
While your drinking water meets the federal and state standard for arsenic, it does contain low levels of arsenic.
The arsenic standard balances the current understanding of arsenic’s possible health effects against the costs of removing arsenic from drinking water. The U.S. EPA continues to
research the health effects of low levels of arsenic, which is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans at high
concentrations and linked to other health effects such as skin damage and circulatory problems.
Lead Service Line Inventory
La Palma has completed the lead service line initial inventory (LSLI) required by U.S. EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Revisions. The deadline for the LSLI was October 16, 2024.
Through completing a historical records review and field investigations, the City has determined that all service lines within the distribution system are lead-free. This includes all customer-owned service lines. For more information, please contact the Community Development & Public Works
Department at (714) 690-3310.

Drinking Water Contaminants
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
• Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, that may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.
• Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, that can be naturally occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. • Pesticides and herbicides that may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses.
• Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, that are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, agricultural application, and septic systems.
• Radioactive contaminants that can be naturally occurring or the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
To ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the U.S. EPA and the SWRCB prescribe regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations and California law also establish limits for contaminants in bottled water that provide the same protection for public health.
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the U.S. EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791).
Drinking Water Definitions
What are water quality standards?
Drinking water standards established by U.S. EPA and DDW set limits for substances that may affect consumer health or aesthetic qualities of drinking water.
The tables in this report show the following types of water quality standards:
• Maximum contaminant level (MCL): The highest level
of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. Primary MCLs are set as close to the PHGs (or MCLGs) as is
economically and technologically feasible.
• Maximum residual disinfectant level (MRDL): The
highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water.
There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
• Secondary MCLs are set to protect the odor, taste, and appearance of drinking water.
• Primary drinking water standard (PDWS): MCLs
for contaminants that affect health, along with their
monitoring and reporting requirements and water treatment requirements.
• Regulatory action level (AL): The concentration of a
contaminant that, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water system must follow.
What is a water quality goal?
In addition to mandatory water quality standards, U.S. EPA and DDW have set voluntary water quality goals for some contaminants. Water quality goals are often set at such low levels that they are not achievable in practice and are not directly measurable. Nevertheless, these goals provide useful guideposts and direction for water management practices.
The tables in this report include three types of water quality goals:
• Maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG): The level of
a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs are set by U.S.
EPA.
• Maximum residual disinfectant level goal (MRDLG): The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.
• Public health goal (PHG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. PHGs are set by the California EPA.
How are contaminants measured?
Water is sampled and tested throughout the year. Contaminants are measured in:
• Parts per million (ppm) or milligrams per liter (mg/L) • Parts per billion (ppb) or micrograms per liter (µg/L) • Parts per trillion (ppt) or nanograms per liter (ng/L)
Disinfectants and Disinfection By-Products in Drinking Water Disinfection of drinking water was one of the greatest public health advancements of the 20th century, significantly reducing the spread of
waterborne diseases caused by bacteria and viruses. Today chlorine and chloramines are commonly used disinfectants to ensure safe drinking water.
How Disinfection Works
• Chlorine is added at the water source
(groundwater wells or treatment plants) to
kill harmful microorganisms.
• Residual chlorine remains in the
distribution system to prevent bacterial
growth in the pipes that carry water to
homes and businesses.
• Chloramines, a combination of chlorine
and ammonia, are also used as a
disinfectant and help reduce certain
by-products.
Disinfection By-Products and Regulations
While effective, chlorine and chloramines can
react with naturally occurring materials in water,
forming disinfection by-products (DBPs), which
may pose health risks. The most common DBPs
are trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic
acids (HAAs).
To protect public health, the U.S. EPA regulates
DBPs under the Safe Drinking Water Act:
• In 1979 the U.S. EPA set the maximum
allowable total THM level at 100 parts per
billion (ppb).
• In 2002 the Stage 1 Disinfectants/
Disinfection Byproducts Rule lowered the
limit to 80 ppb and added HAAs to the
list of regulated chemicals.
• In 2006 the Stage 2 Disinfectants/
Disinfection Byproducts Rule introduced
further monitoring and control measures.
• Full compliance began in 2012.
Your drinking water meets or exceeds all state
and federal standards, with rigorous monitoring
in place. We regularly test for DBPs and adjust
treatment methods to maintain a safe balance
between disinfection and by-product control.
Important Considerations
• Fish and aquatic pets: Chloramines can
be toxic to fish and should be removed
from water used in aquariums.
• Kidney dialysis patients: Chloramines
must be filtered from water used in
dialysis treatment—consult your healthcare provider.

Monitoring Requirements Not Met For City of La Palma
Our water system failed to monitor as required for drinking water standards during the past year and, therefore, was in violation of the regulations. Even though this failure was not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what you should do, what happened, and what we did to correct this situation.We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets health standards. During the third quarter of 2024, we did not monitor for total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and haloacetic acids 5 (HAA5s) from eight approved sampling sites and therefore, cannot be sure of the quality of your drinking water during that time.
What should I do?
• There is nothing you need to do at this time.
• The table below lists the contaminant(s) we did not properly test for during the last year, how many samples we are required to take and how often, how many samples we took, when samples should have been taken, and the date on which follow-up samples were (or will be) taken. • If you have health issues concerning the consumption of this water, you may wish to consult your doctor.
What happened? What is being done?
We routinely collect quarterly disinfection byproduct samples (TTHMs and HAA5) at different locations throughout our water distribution system. During the third quarter of 2024, our staff failed to collect the required TTHM and HAA5 samples due to staff oversight, resulting in the absence of monitoring results for TTHM and HAA5 for the third quarter of 2024. We have reminded staff of all the required monitoring protocols for disinfection byproducts.
For more information, please contact us at (714) 690-3310.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this public notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
Secondary Notification Requirements
Upon receipt of notification from a person operating a public water system, the following notification must be given within 10 days [Health and Safety Code Section 116450(g)]:
• SCHOOLS: Must notify school employees, students, and parents (if the students are minors). • RESIDENTIAL RENTAL PROPERTY OWNERS OR MANAGERS (including nursing homes and care facilities): Must notify tenants. • BUSINESS PROPERTY OWNERS, MANAGERS, OR OPERATORS: Must notify employees of businesses located on the property.

PFAS Advisory
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are
a group of human-made
chemicals that have been used
in various consumer products
since the 1940s due to their
resistance to heat, water, oils,
and stains. These chemicals are prevalent in the environment and have been detected in water supplies nationwide. Studies suggest that exposure to certain PFAS may pose health risks.
The U.S. EPA and the DDW have established health-based
advisories for PFAS. If PFAS levels exceed these guidelines, water agencies must notify their governing bodies and take necessary actions, such as removing affected sources from service or implementing treatment solutions.
To address PFAS contamination, water providers have
conducted testing and taken proactive steps to ensure safe drinking water.
Regulatory actions: The U.S. EPA announced final National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for six PFAS in April 2024. Public water systems are required to monitor these substances, with full reporting and compliance expected by 2027.

Cross Connections
I
n cooperation with the DDW, the City of La Palma’s major goal is to ensure the distribution of a safe potable water supply to all domestic water users. To achieve this goal, a CrossConnection Control Management Plan (CCCMP) is being developed with an effective date of July 1, 2025, pursuant to the requirements set forth in the Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook (CCCPH), which replaced California Administrative Code title 17, sections 7583 through 7605 and applies to all California public water systems, as defined in California’s Health and Safety Code (CHSC, section 116275(h)).

Drinking Water Fluoridation
Fluoride has been added to U.S. drinking water supplies since 1945 to help prevent tooth decay. As of today, the majority of public water suppliers in the country, including the MWDSC, fluoridate their water. MWDSC began adding
fluoride in December 2007, complying with all provisions of California’s fluoridation system requirements. Fluoride levels in drinking water are regulated in California and limited to a maximum of 2 parts per million (ppm). Some local groundwater supplies naturally contain fluoride, but they are not supplemented with additional fluoride.

Agenda Item No. 7 June 3, 2025 | 1
City of La Palma
Agenda Item No. 7
MEETING DATE: June 3, 2025
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Joseph Cisneros, Deputy City Manager
Jake Chavira, Public Works Manager
AGENDA TITLE: Award of Contract to JDL Design, LLC for SCADA Server Improvements
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve and authorize the Interim City Manager, or their designee, to execute an Agreement with JDL Design, LLC, for the City Yard Water Production and Distribution Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system server upgrade including software engineering and commissioning services.
SUMMARY:
As part of the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP), the City allocates funding annually to support the City’s Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) equipment and program. SCADA is a centralized system used by the City of La Palma to support essential operations, particularly in water utility management and public works. It enables real-time monitoring of water levels, pump stations, flow rates, and water quality, while allowing staff to remotely control system components. SCADA also provides continuous data logging to support regulatory compliance, system optimization, and maintenance planning. Automated alerts improve emergency response, while operational efficiencies reduce labor demands and service interruptions.
The current SCADA server is outdated and has exceeded its expected service life, making replacement necessary. The upgrade will also require associated software engineering and commissioning services to ensure proper integration and functionality.
In 2025, staff contacted four qualified firms to discuss the City's SCADA system needs. Two firms submitted proposals, while the other two have not responded to the City's request. The firms are listed below.
1. Freedom Automation, Inc., Vista, California
2. JDL Design, Huntington Beach, California
3. Soffa Electric Inc , Folsom, California
4. Ardurra, Temecula, California
Agenda Item No. 7 June 3, 2025 | 2
Generally, SCADA systems utilize standard equipment, hardware and software to operate a water system. The differentiation occurs in the “writing” of the computer code and logic trains that allow the system to operate and respond to conditional issues. The computer code and logic trains have specific design parameters for each well site: water pumping limits, reservoir levels, treatment requirements and booster pump operations. Each one of these parameters are specific to a well site or pump station.
Therefore, the parameters relegate SCADA systems to a custom installation and operation specific to each site. Due to the custom installation and operational-specific needs of the City, there are few firms that can install, write the required code and logic trains, and ultimately complete a fully functional SCADA system.
Staff obtained two proposals to complete the SCADA improvements, as follows:
JDL has served as the City’s on-call SCADA service provider for the past 15 years. Due to the specialized nature of each SCADA system, other firms may have opted not to submit a proposal. Staff conducted a thorough review of the submitted proposals, evaluating both cost and schedule. The development and installation timeline proposed by JDL Design of Huntington Beach is deemed satisfactory.
In addition to its work in La Palma, JDL Design currently provides SCADA improvements, programming, and installations for the Cities of Anaheim and Beaumont, and has previously completed similar projects for Santa Ana, Los Angeles, and Long Beach. The firm also serves clients in the oil refining and energy sectors, including Tesoro, Valero, Phillips 66, and AES.
The table below outlines the total project cost, inclusive of a five percent contingency.
Approval of this agenda item also authorizes a contingency amount of five percent (5%) of the total construction cost. These funds may be applied to necessary change orders resulting from unforeseen conditions, such as additional conduit runs needed to connect to the SCADA system that were not identified in the original scope of work, or other miscellaneous components required to complete the project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funding for the SCADA Server Improvements project in the amount of $51,293 is available in the FY 2024-25 and FY 2025-26 Water System Improvement Projects Capital Improvement Plan budgets (Account No. 055-900-9022-00000).

The City in its sole and absolute discretion, may withhold from any payment due to the Consultant, without liability for interest, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of the City to exercise such right to deduct or withhold shall not act as a waiver of the Consultant's obligation to pay the City any sums the Consultant owes the City.
3.9 Insurance. The Consultant shall not commence the performance of any work or services under this Agreement until the Consultant has obtained all insurance required hereunder, nor shall the Consultant allow any sub-consultant or subcontractor to commence services until all such insurance has been obtained by the sub-consultant or subcontractor.

Agenda Item No. 8 June 3, 2025 | 1
City of La Palma
Agenda Item No. 8
MEETING DATE: June 3, 2025
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Belinda Deines, Community Development & Public Works Director
AGENDA TITLE: Annual Measure M2 Eligibility Submittal Package for Fiscal Year 2025-26
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Adopt the Measure M (M2) Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program (Fiscal Year 2025-26 through Fiscal Year 2031-32);
2. Adopt a Resolution for Circulation Element Consistency with the Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH), and Mitigation Fee Program for the Measure M (M2) Program (Attachment 1); and
3. Authorize the Community Development & Public Works Director to submit the City's Measure M2 Eligibility Package to the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA).
SUMMARY:
Since the inception of Measure M in 1991, the City has submitted annual documentation to OCTA in order to maintain eligibility for competitive and local fair share funding. In November 2006, the voters of Orange County approved Renewed Measure M (M2), a 30-year extension of the original 20-year Measure M program which established a one-half (1/2) cent sales tax for local and regional transportation improvements throughout Orange County.
The Fiscal Year 2025-26 Proposed Budget includes estimated Measure M2 Local Fair Share revenues of $336,047 (Attachment 2), which reflects OCTA’s estimate as La Palma’s share of the Renewed Measure M (M2) one-half (1/2) cent sales tax in Fiscal Year 2025-26. The conditions for the receipt of these funds require that the City submit an annual Measure M2 Eligibility Packet (Attachment 3) to the OCTA for their approval, which will include the following:
• Measure M (M2) Eligibility Checklist
• City Resolution – Circulation Element/MPAH Consistency, and Mitigation Fee Program for the Measure M (M2) Program
• A copy of the City’s Capital Improvement Program Budget sections
Agenda Item No. 8 June 3, 2025 | 2
• A copy of the City’s M2 package submittal agenda and staff report • Measure M2 seven-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP), Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) format, for Fiscal Year 2025-26 through Fiscal Year 2032-33. • Arterial Highway Mileage Change Report
• Congestion Management Program (CMP) Checklist
• Maintenance of Effort (MOE) documentation for Fiscal Year 2025-26 with a statement certifying that the City of La Palma has budgeted and will meet its MOE benchmark requirement based on dollar value for Fiscal Year 2025-26. • Mitigation Fee Program
• Land use planning strategies with a letter and documentation to accommodate transit and non-motorized transportation.
These items demonstrate to OCTA that La Palma has been and will continue to fulfill its responsibility to implement the requirements of Measure M2. Moreover, this eligibility package will help ensure that La Palma continues to receive the funding necessary to complete needed transportation improvement projects. A copy of the Measure M2 submittal packet has been prepared in accordance with the requirements above and is attached to this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The submittal of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Measure M2 Eligibility Packet to the Orange County Transportation Authority ensures the City of La Palma will receive approximately $336,047 of Local Fair Share Program of Measure M2 one-half (1/2) cent sales tax revenue.
