SB 1 increased per gallon fuel excise taxes; increased diesel fuel sales taxes, vehicle registration fees, and provided for inflationary adjustments to tax rates in future years. SB 1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in the delivery of California’s transportation programs. As such, the City must adopt a list of all projects proposed to receive funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1 by resolution, which must include a description and location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement. Cities and counties receiving RMRA funds must also adopt a list of all projects proposed to receive funding, including a description and location of the proposed projects.
In prior years, the City of La Palma allocated funding to ensure its residential and arterial streets were maintained to the highest standards. This resulted in the City receiving an excellent Pavement Condition Index (PCI) rating of 90+ seven (7) years ago. Currently, the City’s PCI for both residential and arterial roadways is 85+ due to a 1 point plus or minus of annual degradation each year of the pavement surface. As such, the law provides that the City may spend its apportionment of funds on transportation priorities other than the primary priorities outlined in the law, provided that the City’s average PCI meets or exceeds 80. The City’s list of road projects for FY 2026-27 provides flexibility in how the City uses its SB 1 funding. The projects identified are as follows:
• Traffic Signal Cabinet Replacement
• Intersection Improvements/Traffic Signal Replacements • Moody Street Rehabilitation - S.C.L. to Moody Bridge
• Moody Street Rehabilitation - Moody Bridge to Orangethorpe Avenue
Agenda Item No. 5 June 2, 2026 | 2
• Walker Street Rehabilitation
• Arterial Thermal Striping
• Highway Bridge Preventative Maintenance
• Walker Bridge Repair
• Del Amo Bridge
• Curb, Gutter & Sidewalk
Upon City Council approval of the attached Resolution, staff will upload the project list to the required State website by July 1, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City is expected to receive approximately $436,955 in RMRA funds for FY 2026-27. RMRA funds will be allocated to one or more of the projects above as part of the Capital Improvement Budget for FY 2026-27, including any carried-over projects and funds from the current fiscal year.

Agenda Item No. 6
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2026
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Jake Chavira, Acting Community Development & Public Works Director
AGENDA TITLE: Resolutions Related to the Annual Measure M2 Eligibility Submittal Package for Fiscal Year 2026-2
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Adopt a Resolution updating the Local Signal Synchronization Plan for the Measure M2 Program; and
2. Adopt a Resolution updating the Pavement Management Plan for the Measure M2 Program; and
3. Authorize the Acting 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 2026-27 Proposed Budget includes estimated Measure M2 Local Fair Share revenues of $359,442 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 2026-27 as shown in Exhibit A. The conditions for the receipt of these funds require that the City submit an annual Measure M2 eligibility packet to the OCTA for their approval, which will include the following:
• Measure M (M2) Eligibility Checklist
• City Resolution – Updating the City’s Pavement Management Plan • City Resolution – Updating the City’s Local Signal Synchronization Plan • A copy of the City’s Capital Improvement Program Budget sections
Agenda Item No. 6 June 2, 2026 | 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 2026-27 through Fiscal Year 2032-33. • Maintenance of Effort (MOE) documentation for Fiscal Year 2026-27 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 2026-27. • Land use planning strategies letter and documentation to accommodate transit and nonmotorized transportation.
These items demonstrate to OCTA that La Palma has 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 2026-27 Measure M2 Eligibility Packet to the Orange County Transportation Authority ensures the City of La Palma will receive approximately $359,442 of Local Fair Share Program of Measure M2 one-half (1/2) cent sales tax revenue.

Agenda Item No. 7
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2026
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Jake Chavira, Acting Community Development & Public Works Director
AGENDA TITLE: Amendment to the Agreement with City Advisors LLC, for Professional Planning and Community Development Staff
Augmentation Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment extending the term through December 31, 2026, to the Professional Consultant Services Agreement (agreement) with City Advisors, LLC, to provide professional planning and community development staff augmentation services and allocating an additional amount not-to-exceed $75,000, and any necessary amendments.
BACKGROUND:
Following the departure of the Community Development and Public Works Director in October 2025, the City required professional planning support and staff augmentation services to maintain critical operations in the Community Development Department, including entitlement processing, long-range planning, development coordination, and special projects. On November 4, 2025, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an agreement with City Advisors, LLC for an amount not-toexceed $50,000 for municipal planning, CEQA compliance, project management, and interdepartmental coordination services. The agreement is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2026.
City Advisors has assisted the City in advancing several key initiatives and development efforts, including the Walker Bridge Billboard project, the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority's campus expansion, Development and Circulation Committee (DCC) meetings, and other ongoing public and private development projects. These services have helped ensure continuity of operations, timely project review, regulatory compliance, and effective coordination among staff, applicants, consultants, and stakeholders.
DISCUSSION:
Under the current agreement, City Advisors, LLC has provided professional planning services to support City staff and ensure the timely processing of development applications, environmental reviews, and long-range planning initiatives.
Agenda Item No. 7 June 2, 2026 | 2
The Scope of Work includes the following primary service areas:
1. Staff Augmentation: City Advisors will provide interim or supplemental staffing support during vacancies or transitions. Services may include overseeing daily operations, supervising staff, reviewing work products, and representing the Department at City Council or Committee meetings.
2. Entitlement Review and Processing: The assigned Contract Planner will manage entitlement applications, including project review for consistency with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, coordinating interdepartmental and external review, preparing staff reports and hearing materials, and presenting projects to approval bodies.
3. Long-Range Planning: City Advisors may manage long-range planning efforts such as Zoning Ordinance updates, Housing Element implementation, and policy streamlining projects.
Services include research, drafting amendments, preparing reports and presentations, and coordinating public hearings and study sessions.
4. Development Plan Review: The consultant will review building permit plans for zoning compliance, consistency with entitlements, and conformance with applicable regulations and policies.
5. CEQA Analysis: In partnership with its subconsultant, City Advisors will prepare CEQA and NEPA documentation, including EIRs, Mitigated Negative Declarations, technical studies, and categorical exemption analysis.
6. Special Planning Projects: City Advisors will assist with special assignments such as process improvement initiatives, permit software implementation, strategic planning, and other assignments as needed by the City to complete various special projects.
The term of the amendment to the agreement will extend through December 31, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The initial agreement with City Advisors, LLC included a not-to-exceed amount of $50,000, of which approximately $34,554 has been expended and invoiced through March 2026. Staff anticipates that additional funding for FY 2025-26 may be necessary to continue services through the end of the fiscal year and that this will be offset by salary savings within the Community Development Department.
Funding is also included in the proposed FY 2026-27 Budget; however, a mid-year budget adjustment may be required to fully fund the agreement through the end of the contract term within the revised total not-to-exceed amount of $75,000. With City Council approval of this amendment, the total contract amount will increase to $125,000.

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.

Subject: Proposed Amendment to City Advisors Agreement for Retainer-Based Community Development Support
Dear Peter:
City Advisors is pleased to submit this proposed amendment to the existing agreement for contract Community Development support services. Based on our recent discussions, the proposed amendment would transition the agreement from an hourly billing structure to a flat weekly retainer structure for the remainder of the calendar year (December 31, 2026).
The purpose of this proposed structure is to provide the City of La Palma with more predictable monthly costs, more regular in-oāice availability, and a reduced eāective hourly rate, while continuing to support the City’s day-to-day Community Development operations, planning, housing, and economic development eāorts and priority Community Development initiatives.
Under the current agreement, City Advisors bills at the following hourly rates:
Remote work: $145/hour
In-person work: $165/hour
To manage the existing contract budget, I have been carefully monitoring my weekly hours and have generally been working approximately 13 to 14 hours per week, with approximately one day per week in the oāice.
The proposed amendment would establish a weekly retainer for a defined level of Community Development support, as follows:
Proposed Retainer Structure
Weekly retainer: $2,500 per week
Anticipated weekly support: Approximately 20 hours per week Approximate eāective hourly rate: $125 per hour
Proposed schedule:
o Two full in-oāice days per week, tentatively 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
WWW.CITY-ADVISORS.COM
o Approximately four additional hours, which may be worked as an additional inperson half-day or used throughout the week for on-call support, email follow-up, phone calls, coordination, and other time-sensitive items The approximate contract amount would be $75,000 for the seven-month period from June through December 31, 2026, with the exact amount dependent on the start date and any weeks not worked.
General Retainer Terms
The proposed retainer would apply to both in-person and remote work, rather than maintaining separate hourly rates for each type of service. The retainer would be billed monthly and would only apply to weeks actually worked.
Any full weeks taken oā for vacation or other planned absences would be excluded from the monthly retainer invoice. For shorter holiday weeks, City Advisors is open to reducing the weekly retainer amount by 50 percent if the workload or schedule is also reduced that week.
This proposed structure is intended to provide the City of La Palma with more predictable costs while allowing for more consistent Community Development support and availability. It would also provide additional capacity to support operational improvements, customer service streamlining eāorts, and the proposed Zoning Code Update.
A summary of the anticipated scope of work for the extended contract term is included as AČachment A.
Thank you for the opportunity to continue supporting the City of La Palma. I appreciate the City’s continued trust and look forward to continuing to assist with Community Development operations, planning and housing initiatives, economic development support, and related priorities through the end of the year.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Tomaino, AICP

AGENDA TITLE: Authorize First Amendment to the Agreement with Bureau Veritas North America, Inc. for Building and Safety Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the first amendment to the agreement with Bureau Veritas North America, Inc. for building and safety services.
SUMMARY:
Since November 1, 2022, Bureau Veritas North America, Inc. (Bureau Veritas) has provided contracted building and safety services for the Community Development Department, including plan review, permit issuance, inspections, and code compliance support. Bureau Veritas was originally selected through a formal Request for Proposals process conducted by the City to secure professional building and safety services following the expiration of the City’s previous consultant agreement.
Based on their qualifications, operational capacity, and positive references from several Southern California cities, Bureau Veritas was determined to be the most qualified firm to provide these services.
Since the commencement of services, Bureau Veritas has continued to provide responsive and efficient support to the City, including over-the-counter plan checks and expedited permit issuance for qualifying projects, significantly improving permit processing times and customer service for residents and businesses. Their staffing flexibility and technical expertise have also supported the City’s ongoing development activity and day-to-day building operations. The current agreement is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2026.
Based on the continued quality and effectiveness of services provided, staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a First Amendment to the Agreement for Consultant Services with Bureau Veritas North America, Inc., extending the contract term for an additional two (2) years to ensure continuity of operations and maintain efficient building and safety services for the community.

Agreement that affects his or her financial interest or the financial interest of any corporation, partnership, association or other entity in which he or she is interested, in violation of any federal, state or city statute, ordinance or regulation. The Consultant shall not employ any such person while this Agreement is in effect.
3.10.2 Consultant. The Consultant represents, warrants and covenants that he, she or it presently has no interest, direct or indirect, which would interfere with or impair in any manner or degree the performance of the Consultant’s obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement. The Consultant further agrees that while this Agreement is in effect, the Consultant shall not acquire or otherwise obtain any interest, direct or indirect, that would interfere with or impair in any manner or degree the performance of the Consultant’s obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement.
The Consultant acknowledges that pursuant to the provisions of the Political Reform Act (Government Code section 87100 et seq.), the City may determine the Consultant to be a “consultant” as that term is defined by the Act. In the event the City makes such a determination, the Consultant agrees to complete and file a “Statement of Economic Interest” with the City Clerk to disclose such financial interests as required by the City. In such event, the Consultant further agrees to require any other person doing work under this Agreement to complete and file a “Statement of Economic Interest” to disclose such other person’s financial interests as required by the City.
3.11 No Undue Influence. The Consultant declares and warrants that no undue influence or pressure is used against or in concert with any officer or employee of the City in connection with the award, terms or implementation of this Agreement, including any method of coercion, confidential financial arrangement, or financial inducement. No officer or employee of the City shall receive compensation, directly or indirectly, from the Consultant, or from any officer, employee, or agent of the Consultant, in connection with the award of this Agreement or any work to be conducted as a result of this Agreement. The Consultant further warrants that it has not employed or retained any company or person other than a bona fide employee working for the Consultant, to solicit or secure this Agreement and that it has not paid or agreed to pay any company or person any fee, commission, percentage, brokerage fee, gift, or any other consideration contingent upon, or resulting from, the award or making of this Agreement. For breach or violation of this warranty, the City shall have the right to annul this Agreement without liability or, in its discretion, to deduct from the Agreement price or consideration, or otherwise recover, the full amount of such fee, commission, percentage, brokerage fee, gift or contingent fee.
3.12 No Benefit to Arise to City Employees. No member, officer, or employee of the City, or their designees or agents, and no public official who exercises authority over or has responsibilities with respect to this Agreement during his/her tenure or for one (1) year thereafter, shall have any interest, direct or indirect, in any agreement or sub-agreement, or the proceeds thereof, for the Consultant Services to be performed under this Agreement.

-10-
Agreement with or without any breach or failure to perform of the Consultant. Upon receipt of any notice of termination from the City, the Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved in writing by the Contract Administrator.
In the event of termination under this Section 4.1, all finished or unfinished data, studies, maps, reports, and other items prepared by the Consultant shall become the property of the City, and the Consultant shall promptly deliver such items to the City. In the event of termination under this Section 4.1, the City shall pay the Consultant for all authorized services performed and for all authorized and invoiced expenses incurred up to the date of termination of this Agreement, on a time and materials basis in accordance with the Budget and Fee Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit “B”.
4.2 Performance to the City’s Satisfaction. The Consultant agrees to perform all work to the reasonable satisfaction of the City. If the services performed under this Agreement are not satisfactory, the City has the right to take appropriate action, including but not limited to:
(i) meeting with the Consultant, its agents or subcontractors to review the quality of the work and resolve matters of concern; (ii) requiring the Consultant to have the work repeated at no additional fee until it is satisfactory; (iii) withholding payment of the City’s compensation to the Consultant for any unsatisfactory work performed, provided, however, the Consultant is first provided 30 days to cure the non-conforming work; (iv) suspending delivery of work to the Consultant for an indefinite time; and/or (v) terminating this Agreement.
4.3 Default, Remedies.
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, provided, however, the Consultant is first provided 10 days to cure such breach; (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.

-11-
(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 reasonable 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 (“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.

City of La Palma
Agenda Item No. 9
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2026
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Peter L. Kim, City Manager
AGENDA TITLE: Report of Emergency Purchase Orders
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Receive and file the Emergency Purchase Orders Report.
SUMMARY:
Per Municipal Code Section 2-201 and the City’s Purchasing Policy 30.30, the City Manager or his designee may make an exception to the normal purchasing procedure for emergencies. A complete report, including a description of the emergency and the source for the purchase, shall be submitted to the City Council in conjunction with the warrant for the payment of the purchase of such supplies, materials, equipment, and services.

RE: Emergency Invoice Payment Approval – Installation and Repair of City Yard Booster Pump # 2.
City Yard Booster Pump #2 failed in July 2025. This pump is original to the station (installed in 1992) and serves as a critical component of the booster system supplying water pressure to the residential area surrounding the City Yard.
Upon failure, staff solicited quotes from three qualified vendors. The lowest responsive quote was received from Power Bros. Machine. Due to the age of the pump and limited parts availability, the lead time for a new replacement unit was approximately 32 weeks.
We respectfully request approval of the emergency invoice payment for the completed work performed by Power Bros. Machine. Power Bros. Machine is an approved vendor and has successfully performed repair work for the city in the past. The invoice is in the amount of $24,318.88 and is budgeted under Water Reserve Fund Pump and Well Repair, Account Number: 055-900-7100-00000.

RE: Emergency Declaration – Walker Well Generator Radiator System Repair Public Works staff identified multiple leaks in the exterior radiator cooling system of the Caterpillar 500 KW emergency generator located at the Walker Well site. This generator provides critical backup power to maintain water production and system pressure during power outages.
If the radiator system is not repaired immediately, the generator may overheat and become inoperable, resulting in a loss of water production and reduced system pressure. This condition poses a risk to public health and safety and may impact fire protection for commercial areas on the north side of the City.
Section 2-201 of the La Palma Municipal Code allows the City Manager or his designee, in an emergency, to purchase supplies, materials, equipment and services from the nearest available source without complying with bidding procedures. The Walker Well emergency generator maintenance is an emergency as it requires immediate action to protect public health, safety, welfare, and essential services.
This memorandum serves as notification of the emergency condition and the need for immediate procurement of Affordable Generator Services, Inc., to perform the necessary radiator system repairs to the Walker Well emergency generator. Staff obtained quotes from qualified vendors experienced with large emergency generator systems and located in close proximity to City Hall. Affordable Generator Services, Inc., provided the lowest responsive quote in the amount of $55,561.29 and is available to mobilize immediately.
Repair activities will occur at the Walker Well site and are not expected to significantly impact public access. Staff will coordinate work to ensure continued operation of the water system to the extent feasible during repairs.
I am recommending that you declare an emergency to allow for expeditious repair. Please sign below to acknowledge your concurrence.
I, Peter L. Kim, with knowledge of the leaks in the exterior radiator cooling system of the Caterpillar 500 KW emergency generator located at the Walker Well site, do hereby declare it a condition of emergency pursuant to La Palma Municipal Code Section 2-201 that requires immediate action to ensure public health, safety, welfare and continuity of operations.

From: Jake Chavira, Acting Community Development & Public Works Director Date: March 25, 2026
RE: Emergency Declaration – Central Park Gas Line Replacement Public Works staff identified multiple leaks in the natural gas line located in the fire lane behind the Community Center at Central Park. This gas line supplies fuel to the City’s emergency generator, which provides backup power to the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) during emergency situations.
If the gas line is not repaired immediately, the generator may become inoperable, resulting in the loss of backup power to the EOC. This could impact the City’s ability to respond to emergency events and poses a risk to public health, safety, and continuity of operations.
Section 2-201 of the La Palma Municipal Code allows the City Manager or his designee, in an emergency, to purchase supplies, materials, equipment and services from the nearest available source without complying with bidding procedures. The natural gas line maintenance is an emergency as it requires immediate action to protect public health, safety, welfare, and essential services.

Construction activities will occur in the fire lane behind the Community Center and may result in temporary access restrictions in the area. Staff will coordinate work to minimize impacts to City operations and the public.

INTEROFFICE MEMO

From: Malachi Berard, Water Supervisor
Date: April 8, 2026
RE: Emergency Pilot Study for The Removal of Arsenic, Iron & Manganese Process with Pure Flow
This memo is to request immediate authorization to approve Pure Flow to conduct a pilot study at Walker Well to evaluate treatment options in removing or reducing key contaminants in our raw groundwater supply.
The purpose of this pilot study is to verify the effectiveness of treatment processes in reducing concentrations of arsenic (As), iron (Fe), and manganese (Mn) to comply with current and anticipated regulatory standards established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the California State Water Resources Control Board.
Walker Well has consistently produced manganese levels that are extremely close to the current regulatory thresholds. This places the City at increased risk of non-compliance, particularly as regulatory standards continue to evolve. On September 4, 2025, the Division of Drinking Water proposed revised notification and response levels for manganese of 0.05 mg/L and 0.20 mg/L, respectively. These proposed changes indicate the State’s clear intent to lower acceptable limits, which will directly impact on our operations and compliance requirements.
Pure Flow has the technical expertise and experience necessary to perform this pilot study and provide reliable data to support future treatment decisions. Moving forward with this study currently it is essential to ensure the City remains in compliance and ahead of impending regulatory changes.
Due to the urgency of this matter and the potential for stricter manganese standards, approval to proceed with Pure Flow is strongly recommended. A quote and documentation are attached to complete the study in the amount of $11,500.00 and is budgeted under the Pump and Well Repair 050-450-7100-00000.
