AGENDA REPORT
To: Mayor and City Council For meeting of: June 14, 2022 From: Bob Lindsey, City Manager
By: John Di Mario, Development Services Director
Rey Alfonso, Deputy City Engineer
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 22-01 ALONG AMAR ROAD BETWEEN ORANGE
AVENUE AND SUNSET AVENUE
BACKGROUND
Funds for utility undergrounding projects are available to improve the electrical system and community aesthetics through the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) Rule 20A program. Using CPUC formulas, SCE has allocated $1,432,355 to the City for potential undergrounding projects.
Underground districts require that all aboveground utilities within a district be removed and replaced underground. Underground districts benefit communities by improving public safety and aesthetics. These types of project can take up to 18 months to design and an additional 18 months for construction.
At the City Council meeting of May 24, 2022, the Council adopted Resolution No. 22-5722 setting June 14, 2022 as the date to conduct a public hearing to consider the establishment of an underground utility district (UUD No. 22-01) along Amar Road from Orange Avenue to Sunset Avenue.
A notice of public hearing was published in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune on June 3, 2022 and posted in three (3) public places pursuant to the La Puente Municipal Code (“LPMC”).
DISCUSSION
The proposed UUD No. 22-01 is a component of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works’ Amar Road Complete Streets Project. The Amar Road Project is a proposed 2.5 mile segment from Baldwin Park Boulevard (in the City of Industry) to Unruh Avenue in the City of La Puente. The segment also includes the unincorporated Los Angeles County areas of Bassett and West Puente.
Agenda Report – Public Hearing – Underground Utility District No. 22-01 For Meeting of June 14, 2022
The project encompasses proposed improvements along this east-west arterial highway consisting of raised medians, landscaping, protected bike lanes and the undergrounding of existing overhead utilities.
The undergrounding of utilities, also referred to as a Rule 20A project, runs from Feather Avenue in the County area to Sunset Avenue in La Puente. The Rule 20A portion of the project within the City of La Puente is from Orange Avenue to Sunset Avenue (See attachment “A”). Property owners within the district have a responsibility to meet the new underground service. Rule 20A funds pay for the cost of connections up to 100 feet and all service connections for affected properties are within 100 feet.
SCE has provided the City with a rough order of magnitude (“ROM”) cost estimate of $1,350,000 for La Puente’s portion of the overall undergrounding project as part of the Amar Road improvements. This figure includes project contingency and all conversions to underground service.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact to the City would be minimal as SCE Rule 20A funds would be used to pay for all planning, design and engineering and construction costs. It is estimated the City may incur approximately $15-20,000 in staff and/or consulting services time over a three year period while coordinating the project and providing inspection services.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council: (1) open the public hearing and take public testimony; (2) close the public hearing; and (3) adopt Resolution No. 22-5726 establishing underground utility district No. 22-01 along Amar Road between Orange Avenue and Sunset Avenue.

SECTION 9. Pursuant to Elections Code Section 13307, each candidate for elective office to be voted for at the City’s Election may elect to prepare a candidate statement which may include the name, age and occupation of the candidate and a brief description of no more than 200 words of the candidate’s education and qualifications expressed by the candidate himself or herself.
Candidates shall utilize the RRCC’s Candidate Statement Form and the format and style shall be in conformance with the RRCC’s candidate statement guidelines. Candidate statements shall be filed in the office of the City Clerk at the time the candidate’s nomination papers are filed and may be withdrawn, but not changed, during the period for filing nomination papers and until 5:00 p.m. of the next working day after the close of the nomination period.
SECTION 10. Pursuant to Elections Code Section 13307(a)(1), candidate statements shall not include the following: (a) the party affiliation of the candidate; or (b) references to membership or activity in partisan political organizations.
SECTION 11. Pursuant to the Federal Voting Rights Act, candidate statements will be translated into all languages required by the RRCC. The RRCC shall translate the candidate’s statement into any language not required to be translated under the Federal Voting Rights Act and/or State law, at the candidate’s request.
SECTION 12.

SECTION 13. The City Clerk, in consult with the RRCC, shall estimate the total cost of printing, handling, translating, and mailing the candidate statements filed pursuant to this section, including costs incurred as a result of complying with the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (as amended), and require each candidate filing a statement to pay in advance to the City of La Puente his or her estimated pro rata share as a condition of having his or her statement included in the voter’s pamphlet. It is estimated that the cost of the candidate statement is $1,600.00. The estimate is an approximation of the actual cost that varies from one election to another and may be significantly more or less than the estimate, depending on the actual number of candidates filing statements.
Accordingly, the City Clerk is not bound by the estimate and shall bill the candidate for additional actual expenses or refund any excess paid depending on the final actual cost, which payment or refund shall be paid within 30 days of City’s receipt of final actual costs from the RRCC. In the event of underpayment, the candidate will be required to pay to the City the balance of the cost incurred. In the event of overpayment, the City shall refund to the candidate the excess amount paid.
SECTION 14. All prospective candidates should be aware of the holding in Dean v.
Superior Court (1998) 62 Cal.App.4th 638, which holds that a statement prepared by a candidate for inclusion in the voters’ pamphlet may not include comments or statements concerning the qualifications (or alleged lack of qualifications) of one's opponents. Candidates, in an abundance of caution, should avoid making any reference to opponents in their candidate statements.
Candidates should seek the advice of private legal counsel if unsure as to whether their candidate statement does or does not comply with applicable law before filing.
RESOLUTION NO. 22-5728 PAGE 4 OF 4 JUNE 14, 2022

AGENDA ITEM NO. D-3
To: Mayor and City Council For meeting of: June 14, 2022 From: Bob Lindsey, City Manager
By: John Di Mario, Development Services Director
Rey Alfonso, Deputy City Engineer
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A CHANGE ORDER WITH PIPE TEC, INC. TO
PERFORM SEWER MANHOLE REPLACEMENTS AND STORM DRAIN
REPAIR IN THE AMOUNT OF $48,500.00
BACKGROUND
On March 23, 2021, the City Council awarded a 3-year contract to Pipe Tec, Inc. to provide sanitary sewer maintenance services in the City. While Pipe Tec is primarily responsible for cleaning, inspecting and maintaining the City’s sanitary sewer pipelines and manholes, Pipe Tec is also capable of performing sewer and storm drain repairs and improvements as needed or requested by the City.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Maintenance Division has reported two damaged sewer manholes located in the street in front of 703 Perth Avenue and 15317 Nelson Avenue. City sewer drawings indicate the rectangular sewer manholes were constructed in the early 1950’s. Upon inspection by Pipe Tec, it was determined that the old steel manhole lids and supporting steel frames have been bent out of form over time and the underlying brick and mortar manhole chambers are damaged.
Staff has received complaints of loud noise when vehicles drive over the manholes. As such, the manholes have been covered with temporary steel plates for several months. Due to the age and damage to the existing manhole structures, it is recommended that the manhole covers and chambers be replaced and brought up to current standards at this time.
As separate matter, the City recently received a request from a resident on Lassalette Street regarding a storm drain pipe. Pipe Tec inspected the storm drain catch basin located in front of the property, and the connector pipe that runs adjacent to the property and outlets to Puente Creek behind the property. The resident had reported a foul smell coming from what was believed to be the storm drain. While the source of the smell was not found in the storm drain, it was discovered that a portion of the invert (flowline) of the underground 24-inch corrugated metal pipe (“CMP”) is completely deteriorated, exposing the underlying soil to erosion.

AGENDA REPORT
Agenda Report – Pipe Tec Change Order – Sewer and Storm Drain Repairs For Meeting of: June 14, 2022
Subdivision map records show the storm drain was likely constructed in the mid-to-late 1950’s.
Due to the age and condition of the existing CMP, it is recommended that the CMP be patched with concrete to shore up the pipe and prevent further erosion.
Staff has obtained a cost proposal (Attachment “A”) from Pipe Tec in the amount of $48,500 to replace the two sewer manholes and repair the damaged storm drain CMP as described above.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this change order is available from the current Fiscal Year Sewer Fund operating budget for this cost.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a change order with Pipe Tec, Inc. in the amount of $48,500 to perform sewer manhole replacements and storm drain repair.

AGENDA ITEM NO. D-4
To: Mayor and City Council For meeting of:June 14, 2022 From: Bob Lindsey, City Manager
By: John Di Mario, Development Services Director
Juan Galvan, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH DRAKE
TRAFFIC CONTROL SERVICES INC FOR SPECIAL EVENT TRAFFIC CONTROL SERVICES IN THE AMOUNT OF $24,885.00.
BACKGROUND
Since 2014, the City has routinely prepared a formal traffic control and detour plan approved by a registered professional engineer to put in place street closures for large community events for the safe and orderly operation of these events. A licensed traffic control contractor has installed the closures for the Main Street Halloween Run, Holiday Parade, and the July 3rd Fortunato Jimenez Independence Day Celebration.
Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the City has not held the July 3rd Independence Day Celebration since 2019.
Section 2.20.070 (b) of the La Puente Municipal Code authorizes the purchasing officer to obtain firm quotes for purchases having an estimated value of more than $1,000.00 but less than $25,000.00. The City solicited written proposals from traffic management firms for traffic closure and detour implementation for the July 3rd event. Several firms responded that they were unable to provide the services due to other commitments and that the project scope was too large for their firm to handle.
DISCUSSION
The City did receive responses from two firms as listed below:
JCL Traffic
Drake Traffic Control Services
$18,815.00
$24,885.00
Staff evaluated and compared both proposals to the Traffic Control and Detour Plan (“Plan”) that was provided to the companies (Attachment “A”). Although JCL’s proposal was less than Drake, the JCL proposal was missing several significant items from the Plan. Follow-up discussions were held with Drake, which included their experience with similar types of projects and the firm’s overall experience and knowledge with providing professional traffic control services. As a result, Staff is recommending retaining Drake for this year’s event.

This PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), is made and effective as of June 14, 2022, between the City of La Puente, a municipal corporation (“City”), and Drake Traffic Control Services Inc, a California Corporation (“Consultant”). The City and Consultant are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Parties”.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, City desires to engage Consultant to perform the services described herein, and Consultant desires to perform such services in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions herein contained, City and Consultant agree as follows:

2. SERVICES
(a) Consultant shall perform the tasks (“Services”) described and set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein as though set forth in full (“Scope of Services and Rate Schedule”).

In the event of conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and Exhibit A, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
(b) City shall have the right to request, in writing, changes to the Services. Any such changes mutually agreed upon by the Parties, and any corresponding increase or decrease in compensation, shall be incorporated by written amendment to this Agreement.

(d) Consultant shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations and ordinances in the performance of this Agreement, including but not limited to, the conflict of interest provisions of Government Code Section 1090 and the Political Reform Act (Government Code Section 81000 et seq.)). During the term of this Agreement, Consultant shall not perform any work for another person or entity for whom Consultant was not working on the Effective Date if both (i) such work would require Consultant to abstain from a decision under this
ATTACHMENT B
Agreement pursuant to a conflict of interest statute or law; and (ii) City has not consented in writing to Consultant’s performance of such work. No officer or employee of City shall have any financial interest in this Agreement that would violate California Government Code Sections 1090 et seq. Consultant hereby warrants that it is not now, nor has it been in the previous twelve (12) months, an employee, agent, appointee, or official of the City. If Consultant was an employee, agent, appointee, or official of the City in the previous twelve (12) months, Consultant warrants that it did not participate in any manner in the forming of this Agreement. Consultant understands that, if this Agreement is made in violation of Government Code §1090 et. seq., the entire Agreement is void and Consultant will not be entitled to any compensation for Services performed pursuant to this Agreement, and Consultant will be required to reimburse the City for any sums paid to the Consultant. Consultant understands that, in addition to the foregoing, it may be subject to criminal prosecution for a violation of Government Code § 1090 and, if applicable, will be disqualified from holding public office in the State of California. (e) Consultant represents that it has, or will secure at its own expense, all licensed personnel required to perform the Services. All Services shall be performed by Consultant or under its supervision, and all personnel engaged in the Services shall be qualified and licensed to perform such services.
3. MANAGEMENT

Upon receipt of said notice, the Consultant shall immediately cease all work under this Agreement, unless the notice provides otherwise. If the City suspends or terminates a portion of this Agreement such suspension or termination shall not make void or invalidate the remainder of this Agreement.
(b) In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, the City shall pay to Consultant the actual value of the work performed up to the time of termination, provided that the work performed is of value to the City. Upon termination of the Agreement pursuant to this Section, the Consultant shall submit an invoice to the City pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement.

Any policy inception date, continuity date, or retroactive date must be before the effective date of this agreement and Consultant agrees to maintain continuous coverage through a period no less than three years after completion of the services required by this agreement.
Workers’ compensation insurance. Consultant shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance (Statutory Limits) and Employer’s Liability Insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000.00).
Consultant shall submit to City, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of Agency, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers.
Proof of insurance. Consultant shall provide certificates of insurance to City as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers’ compensation. Insurance certificates and endorsement must be approved by City’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with City at all times during the term of this contract. City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.
Duration of coverage. Consultant shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Services hereunder by Consultant, his agents, representatives, employees or subconsultants.
Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by Consultant shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by City shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of City before the City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
City’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant, or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement.
Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VI (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the City’s Risk Manager.
Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against City, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall specifically allow Consultant or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery against City, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.
Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the Agency nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.
Notice of cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.
Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that City and its officers, officials, employees, and agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess liability policies.
Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
Separation of Insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
Pass Through Clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
City’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation.
Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. The City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by the City.
Timely notice of claims. Consultant shall give the City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.
Additional insurance. Consultant shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.

Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type.

Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.

Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
City’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation.
Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City.

AGENDA ITEM NO. D-6
To: Mayor and City Council For meeting of: June 14, 2022 Via: Bob Lindsey, City Manager
By: Troy Grunklee, CPA, Director of Administrative Services Alex Merkel Medina, Finance Manager
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023
BACKGROUND
California Government Code Section 53646 requires local government agencies to prepare a written investment policy and that the governing body review and approve the policy on an annual basis. The City has had an investment policy in place since 1986. The City’s current investment policy was last updated and amended on June 11, 2018. Most recently, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 21-5635 which approved the investment policy for fiscal year 2021-2022 on June 08, 2021.
Within the scope of the 2018 comprehensive review, the City Council amended the policy to ensure compliance with state law and reformatted the policy for clarity, readability and consistency with the California Municipal Treasurers Association (“CMTA”) model investment policy. Additionally, the investment policy was submitted to CMTA for their review and certification under their Investment Policy Certification Program. Under this program, a review panel consisting of three (3) certified municipal treasurers reviewed and scored the City’s policy.
The City received a score of 87.33 out of a possible 100 points. The City also received suggestions from the review panel. These suggestions have been incorporated into the policy.
DISCUSSION
The purpose of the investment policy is to govern the allocation of idle cash in the City’s portfolio, ensuring liquidity and safety of capital while maximizing interest earnings.
Staff proposes no changes from the policy adopted in FY 2021/2022 and recommends that the City Council re-certify the existing policy.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

CITY OF LA PUENTE
STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023
1.0 POLICY:
This Policy is intended to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the City of La Puente’s (“City”) temporarily idle cash and to outline the investment philosophy for maximizing the efficiency of the City's cash management system. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while protecting its pooled funds in accordance with the applicable local, state and federal laws.
It is the policy of the City Council to review, update and adopt the City's Investment Policy on an annual basis.
2.0 SCOPE:
This investment policy applies to all financial assets of the City.
The Policy applies to the following funds and is accounted for in the City’s annual audited financial statements.
A. General Fund
B. Special Revenue Funds
C. Debt Service Funds
D. Capital Improvement Fund
E. Internal Service Funds
This investment policy does not apply to bond proceeds, deferred compensation funds, retirement or other post-employment benefits trust funds as these are governed under separate California Government Code sections or other documentation.
3.0 STANDARDS OF PRUDENCE:
The City of La Puente operates its investment portfolio under the Prudent Investor Standard (California Government Code Section 53600.3) which states, that “when investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated need of the City, that a prudent person in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the City”.
EXHIBIT A
4.0 INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES:
The investment of funds of the City is directed to the goals of safety, liquidity and yield. The authority governing investments for municipal governments is set forth in the Government Code, Sections 53600, et. seq.
1. Safety. Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.
Investments of the City shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To attain this objective, the City will diversify its investments by investing funds among a variety of securities with independent returns. Each investment transaction shall seek to first ensure that capital losses are avoided, whether they are from securities default or erosion of market value.
Investment decisions should not incur unreasonable investment risks in order to obtain current investment income.
2. Liquidity. The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that securities mature at the same time as cash is needed to meet anticipated demands. Additionally, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio will consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets or local government investment pools which offer same-day liquidity for short-term funds.
3. Yield. The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of achieving a competitive market rate of return or yield, while taking into account the investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance compared to safety and liquidity. The core investments shall be limited to low risk securities to be held to maturity with the following exceptions:
o A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize loss of principal o A security swap would improve the quality, yield or target duration of the portfolio. o The liquidity needs of the portfolio require security to be sold.
5.0 DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
Authority to manage the City’s investment program is derived from Section 2.16.020 of the City’s Municipal Code which designates the City Treasurer to perform all duties associated with the legal function of the treasurer position. Under Section 2.12.010 of the City’s Municipal Code, the City Council may appoint the City Manager, Director of Administrative Services or the Finance Manager to serve as the City Treasurer. Management responsibility is hereby delegated to the City Treasurer who shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and for establishing a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials, and their procedures in the absence of the City Treasurer.
6.0 ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Employees and investment officials are required to file annual disclosure statements (Form 700) as required for “public officials who manage public investments” (as defined and required by the Political Reform Act and related regulations, being Government Code Sections 81000 and the Fair Political Practices Commission [FPPC]). The City Manager is required to “e-file” the Form 700 directly with the FPPC. The FPPC reviews the Form 700 for any conflicts of interest. The Director of Administrative Services and Finance Manager file the Form 700 with the City Clerk who reviews for any conflicts of interest.
7.0 AUTHORIZED FINANCIAL DEALERS AND INSTITUTIONS
The City Treasurer will maintain a list of approved financial institutions authorized to provide investment services to the public agency in the State of California. These may include “primary” dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities & Exchange Commission Rule 15C3-1 (uniform net capital rule). A determination should be made to insure that all approved broker/dealer firms and individuals covering the City are reputable and trustworthy. In addition, the broker/dealer firms should have the ability to meet all of their financial obligations in dealing with the City. The firms and individuals covering the City should be knowledgeable and experienced in Public Agency investing and the investment products involved. No public deposit shall be made except in a qualified public depository as established by State law. All financial institutions and broker/dealers who desire to conduct investment transactions with the City must supply the City Treasurer with the following: audited financial statements, proof of FINRA certification, trading resolution, proof of State of California registration, completed broker/dealer questionnaire, certification of having read the City’s investment policy and depository contracts.
An annual review of the financial condition and registrations of qualified bidders will be conducted by the City Treasurer. A current audited financial statement is required to be on file for each financial institution and broker/dealer with which the City invests. A list of authorized broker/dealers is kept on file in the Finance Department.
8.0 AUTHORIZED AND SUITABLE INVESTMENTS
The City’s investments are governed by the California Government Code (CGC). Specific types of investments are defined in CGC Section 53601. Investments will only be made in authorized securities with a maturity date of five (5) years or less from the transaction settlement date.
For the purpose of these investments, the compliance with the investment percentage(s), in regards to the total investment portfolio, shall be calculated on the date the investment is acquired. If the percentage is legally compliant on the date of purchase, then compliance with the law shall have been met.

9.0 REVIEW OF INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
The securities held by the City must be in compliance with Section 8.0 Authorized and Suitable Investments at the time of purchase. Because some securities may not comply with Section 8.0 subsequent to the date of purchase the City Treasurer shall at least quarterly review the portfolio to identify those securities that do not comply. The City Treasurer shall establish procedures to report to the City Council major and critical incidences of noncompliance identified through the review of the portfolio.
Should any investment listed in Section 8 exceed a percentage-of-portfolio limitation due to an incident such as fluctuation in portfolio size, the affected securities may be held to maturity to avoid losses. When no loss is indicated, the City Treasurer shall consider rebalancing the portfolio after evaluating the expected length of time that it will be imbalanced.
Portfolio percentage limits are in place in order to ensure diversification of the City investment portfolio; a small temporary imbalance will not significantly impair that strategy.
10.0 INVESTMENT POOLS
A thorough investigation of any investment pool is required prior to investing and should be monitored on an ongoing basis. Requisite information on the pool includes the following; a description how securities are safeguarded (including the settlement process) and how often the securities are marked to market and how often an audit is conducted; a description of who may invest in the program, how often, what size deposits and withdrawals are permitted; a description of interest calculations and how it is distributed, and how gains and losses are distributed; a schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings; a fee schedule that discloses when and how fees are assessed; does the pool/fund maintain a reserve or retain earnings or is all income after expenses distributed to participants.
The purpose of this investigation is to determine the suitability of a pool or fund and evaluate the risk of placing funds with that pool or fund.
11.0 COLLATERALIZATION
Collateralization will be required on certificates of deposit. In order to anticipate market changes and provide a level of security for all funds, the collateralization level will be 110% of market value of principal and accrued interest. The City Treasurer, at his/her discretion may waive the collateral requirement for deposits up to the maximum dollar amount which are covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, currently $250,000.
Section 53649 of the California Government Code specifies that the City Treasurer is responsible for entering into deposit contracts with each depository. Investments held with Third Parties holding collateral for the investment shall be properly collateralized in accordance with collateralization requirements of the California Government Code.
12.0 SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY
All security transactions entered into by the City shall be conducted on a delivery versus payment (DVP) basis. Securities will be held by a third party custodian designated by the City Treasurer and evidenced by safekeeping receipts.
13.0 DIVERSIFICATION
The City shall diversify its investments by security, type, issuer, maturity and financial institutions. No percentage limitations are established for United States government, United States government agencies and United States government sponsored enterprises; however percentage limitations are established for other permitted investments as noted in Section 8.0 of this policy. The investments shall be diversified by limiting investment in securities that have higher credit risks and investing in securities with varying maturities.
14.0 MAXIMUM MATURITIES
To the extent possible the City will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. The prescribed method of the City shall be referred to as “laddering maturities”.
Monies not needed to cover immediate operating costs may be invested up to a five year maturity.
15.0 INTERNAL CONTROLS
The City Treasurer shall establish procedures that separate the internal responsibility for management and accounting of the investment portfolio. An analysis by an independent, external auditor shall be conducted bi-annually to review internal controls, account activity and compliance with policies and procedures.
16.0 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of obtaining a rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with investment risk constraints and cash flow needs.
The City’s basic investment strategy is to buy and hold investments until maturity. However, the City Treasurer may sell a security due to adverse changes in credit risk or due to unexpected cash flow needs.
The Market Yield benchmark used by the City Treasurer is to determine whether market yields are being achieved and shall be the rates of return from the following combination of indices:
Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year Treasury Bills.
17.0 REPORTING
The City shall submit monthly investment reports to the City Council. The report shall be provided to the City Council within thirty (30) days, or the next available City Council meeting, following the end of the month covered by the report. The report shall contain a summary of investment transaction including: investment types, issuer, purchase date, maturity date, interest rate, dollar amount invested, market value, source of market valuation, and a description of any local agency funds or investments under the management of contracted parties.
The report shall include a statement of compliance of the portfolio to this Investment Policy, or the manner in which the portfolio is not in compliance. The report shall include a statement denoting the ability of the City to meet its expenditure requirements for the next six months, or provide an explanation as to why sufficient money shall, or may, not be available.
18.0 Investment Policy Adoption
The City’s investment policy shall be adopted by resolution of the City Council. The policy shall be reviewed annually by the City Council and any modifications made thereto must be approved by the City Council.

Also called “carrying value.” Book value can vary over time as an investment approaches maturity and differs from “market value” in that it is not affected by changes in market interest rates.
Broker/Dealer. A person or firm transacting securities business with customers. A “broker” acts as an agent between buyers and sellers, and receives a commission for these services. A “dealer” buys and sells financial assets from its own portfolio. A dealer takes risk by owning inventory of securities, whereas a broker merely matches up buyers and sellers. See also "Primary Dealer."

Call Option. The right, but not the obligation, of an issuer of a security to redeem a security at a specified value and at a specified date or dates prior to its stated maturity date. Most fixedincome calls are a par, but can be at any previously established price. Securities issued with a call provision typically carry a higher yield than similar securities issued without a call feature.
There are three primary types of call options (1) European - one-time calls, (2) Bermudan - periodically on a predetermined schedule (quarterly, semi-annual, annual), and (3) American - continuously callable at any time on or after the call date. There is usually a notice period of at least 5 business days prior to a call date.

Duration. The weighted average maturity of a security’s or portfolio’s cash flows, where the present values of the cash flows serve as the weights. The greater the duration of a security/portfolio, the greater its percentage price volatility with respect to changes in interest rates. Used as a measure of risk and a key tool for managing a portfolio versus a benchmark and for hedging risk. There are also different kinds of duration used for different purposes (e.g.
MacAuley Duration, Modified Duration).

The Federal Reserve System is made up of twelve Federal Reserve District Banks, their branches, and many national and state banks throughout the nation. It is headed by the seven member Board of Governors known as the “Federal Reserve Board” and headed by its Chairman.
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). A private corporation that acts as a self-regulatory organization (SRO). FINRA is the successor to the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD). Though sometimes mistaken for a government agency, it is a

The agent performs such duties as making coupon payments, paying rents, redeeming bonds, and handling taxes relating to the issuance of bonds.
Floating Rate Security (FRN or “floater”). A bond with an interest rate that is adjusted according to changes in an interest rate or index. Differs from variable-rate debt in that the changes to the rate take place immediately when the index changes, rather than on a predetermined schedule. See also “Variable Rate Security.” Freddie Mac. See "Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation".
Ginnie Mae. See "Government National Mortgage Association".
Global Notes. Notes designed to qualify for immediate trading in both the domestic U.S. capital market and in foreign markets around the globe. Usually large issues that are sold to investors worldwide and therefore have excellent liquidity. Despite their global sales, global notes sold in the U.S. are typically denominated in U.S. dollars.
Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA or "Ginnie Mae"). One of the large Federal Agencies. Government-owned Federal Agency that acquires, packages, and resells mortgages and mortgage purchase commitments in the form of mortgage-backed securities.
Largest issuer of mortgage pass-through securities. GNMA debt is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government (one of the few agencies that is actually full faith and credit of the U.S.).
Government Securities. An obligation of the U.S. government, backed by the full faith and credit of the government. These securities are regarded as the highest quality of investment securities available in the U.S. securities market. See "Treasury Bills, Notes, Bonds, and SLGS." Government Sponsored Enterprise (GSE). Privately owned entity subject to federal regulation and supervision, created by the U.S. Congress to reduce the cost of capital for certain borrowing sectors of the economy such as students, farmers, and homeowners. GSEs carry the implicit backing of the U.S. Government, but they are not direct obligations of the U.S.
Government. For this reason, these securities will offer a yield premium over U.S. Treasuries.
Some consider GSEs to be stealth recipients of corporate welfare. Examples of GSEs include:
FHLB, FHLMC, FNMA and SLMA.
Government Sponsored Enterprise Security. A security issued by a Government Sponsored Enterprise. Considered Federal Agency Securities.
Index. A compilation of statistical data that tracks changes in the economy or in financial markets.
Interest-Only (IO) STRIP. A security based solely on the interest payments from the bond.
After the principal has been repaid, interest payments stop and the value of the security falls to nothing. Therefore, IOs are considered risky investments. Usually associated with mortgagebacked securities.
Internal Controls. An internal control structure ensures that the assets of the entity are protected from loss, theft, or misuse. The internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that 1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and 2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. Internal controls should address the following points:
1. Control of collusion - Collusion is a situation where two or more employees are working in conjunction to defraud their employer.
2. Separation of transaction authority from accounting and record keeping - By separating the person who authorizes or performs the transaction from the people who record or otherwise account for the transaction, a separation of duties is achieved.
3. Custodial safekeeping - Securities purchased from any bank or dealer including appropriate collateral (as defined by state law) shall be placed with an independent third party for custodial safekeeping.
4. Avoidance of physical delivery securities - Book-entry securities are much easier to transfer and account for since actual delivery of a document never takes place. Delivered securities must be properly safeguarded against loss or destruction. The potential for fraud and loss increases with physically delivered securities.
5. Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members - Subordinate staff members must have a clear understanding of their authority and responsibilities to avoid improper actions. Clear delegation of authority also preserves the internal control structure that is contingent on the various staff positions and their respective responsibilities.
6. Written confirmation of transactions for investments and wire transfers - Due to the potential for error and improprieties arising from telephone and electronic transactions, all transactions should be supported by written communications and approved by the appropriate person. Written communications may be via fax if on letterhead and if the safekeeping institution has a list of authorized signatures.
7. Development of a wire transfer agreement with the lead bank and third-party custodian - The designated official should ensure that an agreement will be entered into and will address the following points: controls, security provisions, and responsibilities of each party making and receiving wire transfers.
Inverse Floater. A floating rate security structured in such a way that it reacts inversely to the direction of interest rates. Considered risky as their value moves in the opposite direction of normal fixed-income investments and whose interest rate can fall to zero.
Investment Advisor. A company that provides professional advice managing portfolios, investment recommendations and/or research in exchange for a management fee.
Investment Grade. Bonds considered suitable for preservation of invested capital; bonds rated a minimum of Baa3 by Moody’s, BBB- by Standard & Poor’s, or BBB- by Fitch. Although “BBB” rated bonds are considered investment grade, most public agencies cannot invest in securities rated below “A.”
Liquidity. Relative ease of converting an asset into cash without significant loss of value.
Also, a relative measure of cash and near-cash items in a portfolio of assets. Also, a term describing the marketability of a money market security correlating to the narrowness of the spread between the bid and ask prices.

Money Market Mutual Fund (MMF). A type of mutual fund that invests solely in money market instruments, such as: U.S. Treasury bills, commercial paper, bankers' acceptances, and repurchase agreements. Money market mutual funds are registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and are subject “rule 2a-7” which significantly limits average maturity and credit quality of holdings. MMF’s are managed to maintain a stable net asset value
(NAV) of $1.00. Many MMFs carry ratings by a NRSRO.
Moody's Investors Service. One of several NRSROs that provide credit ratings on corporate and municipal debt issues.
Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS). Mortgage-backed securities represent an ownership interest in a pool of mortgage loans made by financial institutions, such as savings and loans, commercial banks, or mortgage companies, to finance the borrower's purchase of a home or other real estate. The majority of MBS are issued and/or guaranteed by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. There are a variety of MBS structures, some of which can be very risky and complicated.

Prudent Investor Standard. Standard that requires that when investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. More stringent than the “prudent person” standard as it implies a level of knowledge commensurate with the responsibility at hand.
Range Note. A type of structured note that accrues interest daily at a set coupon rate that is tied to an index. Most range notes have two coupon levels; a higher accrual rate for the period the index is within a designated range, the lower accrual rate for the period that the index falls outside the designated range. This lower rate may be zero and may result in zero earnings.
Rate of Return. Amount of income received from an investment, expressed as a percentage of the amount invested.
Realized Gains (Losses). The difference between the sale price of an investment and its book value. Gains/losses are “realized” when the security is actually sold, as compared to “unrealized” gains/losses which are based on current market value. See “Unrealized Gains (Losses).”
Repurchase Agreement (Repo). A short-term investment vehicle where an investor agrees to buy securities from a counterparty and simultaneously agrees to resell the securities back to the counterparty at an agreed upon time and for an agreed upon price. The difference between the purchase price and the sale price represents interest earned on the agreement. In effect, it represents a collateralized loan to the investor, where the securities are the collateral. Can be DVP, where securities are delivered to the investor’s custodial bank, or “tri-party” where the securities are delivered to a third party intermediary. Any type of security can be used as “collateral,” but only some types provide the investor with special bankruptcy protection under the law. Repos should be undertaken only when an appropriate BMA approved master repurchase agreement is in place.
Reverse Repurchase Agreement (Reverse Repo). A repo from the point of view of the original seller of securities. Used by dealers to finance their inventory of securities by essentially borrowing at short-term rates. Can also be used to leverage a portfolio and in this sense, can be considered risky if used improperly.

Secondary Market. Markets for the purchase and sale of any previously issued financial instrument.
Spread. The difference between the price of a security and similar maturity U.S. Treasury investments, expressed in percentage terms or basis points.

Standard & Poor's. One of several NRSROs that provide credit ratings on corporate and municipal debt issues.
STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities). Acronym applied to U.S. Treasury securities that have had their coupons and principal repayments separated into individual zero-coupon Treasury securities. The same technique and "strips" description can be applied to non-Treasury securities (e.g. FNMA strips).
Swap. Trading one asset for another.
TAP Notes: Federal Agency notes issued under the FHLB TAP program. Launched in 6/99 as a refinement to the FHLB bullet bond auction process. In a break from the FHLB’s traditional practice of bringing numerous small issues to market with similar maturities, the TAP Issue Program uses the four most common maturities and reopens them up regularly through a competitive auction. These maturities (2, 3, 5 and 10 year) will remain open for the calendar quarter, after which they will be closed and a new series of TAP issues will be opened to replace them. This reduces the number of separate bullet bonds issued, but generates enhanced awareness and liquidity in the marketplace through increased issue size and secondary market volume.
Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). One of the large Federal Agencies. A wholly owned corporation of the United States government that was established in 1933 to develop the resources of the Tennessee Valley region in order to strengthen the regional and national economy and the national defense. Power operations are separated from non-power operations.
TVA securities represent obligations of TVA, payable solely from TVA's net power proceeds, and are neither obligations of nor guaranteed by the United States.

Includes Treasury bills, Treasury notes, and Treasury bonds. Also a benchmark term used as a basis by which the yields of nonTreasury securities are compared (e.g., "trading at 50 basis points over Treasuries").
Treasury Bills (T-Bills). Short-term direct obligations of the United States Government issued with an original term of one year or less. Treasury bills are sold at a discount from face value and do not pay interest before maturity. The difference between the purchase price of the bill and the maturity value is the interest earned on the bill. Currently, the U.S. Treasury issues 4- week, 13-week and 26-week T-Bills
Treasury Bonds. Long-term interest-bearing debt securities backed by the U.S. Government and issued with maturities of ten years and longer by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The Treasury stopped issuing Treasury Bonds in August 2001.

The average maturity of all securities and investments of a portfolio, determined by multiplying the par or principal value of each security or investment by its maturity (days or years), summing the products, and dividing the sum by the total principal value of the portfolio. A simple measure of risk of a fixed-income portfolio.
Weighted Average Maturity to Call. The average maturity of all securities and investments of a portfolio, adjusted to substitute the first call date per security for maturity date for those securities with call provisions.
Yield Curve. A graphic depiction of yields on like securities in relation to remaining maturities spread over a time line. The traditional yield curve depicts yields on U.S. Treasuries, although yield curves exist for Federal Agencies and various credit quality corporates as well. Yield curves can be positively sloped (normal) where longer-term investments have higher yields, or “inverted” (uncommon) where longer-term investments have lower yields than shorter ones.
Yield to Call (YTC). Same as “Yield to Maturity,” except the return is measured to the first call date rather than the maturity date. Yield to call can be significantly higher or lower than a security’s yield to maturity.
Yield to Maturity (YTM). Calculated return on an investment, assuming all cash flows from the security are reinvested at the same original yield. Can be higher or lower than the coupon rate depending on market rates and whether the security was purchased at a premium or discount. There are different conventions for calculating YTM for various types of securities.
Yield. There are numerous methods of yield determination. In this glossary, see also "Current Yield,” "Yield Curve," "Yield to Call" and "Yield to Maturity."
Appendix C
Local Agency Investment Fund
Program Description
The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is a voluntary program created by statute; began in 1977 as an investment alternative for California's local governments and special districts and it continues today under Treasurer John Chiang's administration. The enabling legislation for the LAIF is Section 16429.1 et seq. of the California Government Code.
This program offers local agencies the opportunity to participate in a major portfolio, which invests hundreds of millions of dollars, using the investment expertise of the State Treasurer's Office investment staff at no additional cost to the taxpayer. This in-house management team is comprised of civil servants who have each worked for the State Treasurer's Office for an average of 20 years.
The LAIF is part of the Pooled Money Investment Account (PMIA). The PMIA began in 1955 and oversight is provided by the Pooled Money Investment Board (PMIB) and an in-house Investment Committee. The PMIB members are the State Treasurer, Director of Finance, and State Controller.
The Local Investment Advisory Board (LIAB) provides oversight for LAIF. The Board consists of five members as designated by statute. The State Treasurer, as Chairman, or his designated representative appoints two members qualified by training and experience in the field of investment or finance, and two members who are treasurers, finance or fiscal officers or business managers employed by any county, city or local district or municipal corporation of this state.
The term of each appointment is two years or at the pleasure of the appointing authority.
All securities are purchased under the authority of Government Code Section 16430 and 16480.4.
The State Treasurer's Office takes delivery of all securities purchased on a delivery versus payment basis using a third party custodian. All investments are purchased at market and a market valuation is conducted monthly.
Additionally, the PMIA has Policies, Goals and Objectives for the portfolio to make certain that our goals of Safety, Liquidity and Yield are not jeopardized and that prudent management prevails. These policies are formulated by Investment Division staff and reviewed by both the PMIB and the LIAB on an annual basis.
The State Treasurer's Office is audited by the Bureau of State Audits on an annual basis and the resulting opinion is posted to the State Treasurer's Office website following its publication. The Bureau of State Audits also has a continuing audit process throughout the year. All investments and LAIF claims are audited on a daily basis by the State Controller's Office as well as an inhouse audit process involving three separate divisions.
Under Federal Law, the State of California cannot declare bankruptcy, thereby allowing the Government Code Section 16429.3 to stand. This Section states that "moneys placed with the Treasurer for deposit in the LAIF by cities, counties, special districts, nonprofit corporations, or qualified quasi-governmental agencies shall not be subject to either of the following: (a) transfer or loan pursuant to Sections 16310, 16312, or 16313, or (b) impoundment or seizure by any state official or state agency."
During the 2002 legislative session, California Government Code Section 16429.4 was added to the LAIF's enabling legislation. This Section states that "the right of a city, county, city and county, special district, nonprofit corporation, or qualified quasi-governmental agency to withdraw its deposited moneys from the LAIF, upon demand, may not be altered, impaired, or denied in any way, by any state official or state agency based upon the state's failure to adopt a State Budget by July 1 of each new fiscal year."
The LAIF has grown from 293 participants and $468 million in 1977 to 2,429 participants and $21.8 billion at the end of February 2018.

SECURITY SYSTEM UPGRADE AT THE LA PUENTE SENIOR CENTER IN THE AMOUNT OF $109,700.00
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On a regular basis, City staff evaluate all the building equipment or lack thereof at each City facility.
After a review of the La Puente Senior Center fire alarm and security system, it has been determined that an upgrade of both systems is necessary.
Also, to increase security and safety at the City Hall, Community Center, Senior Center, Park Maintenance Offices, and Maintenance Access Road Gate, it has been determined that an installation of access reader keypads to prevent unauthorized access is necessary.
City staff are recommending the City Council approve a Professional Services Agreement with Superior Alarms Systems (“SAS”) for the purchase and installation of City Hall, Community Center, Senior Center, Park Maintenance Offices, and Maintenance Access Road Gate Entrance access control reader keypads, and a fire alarm system upgrade and security system upgrade at the La Puente Senior Center in the amount of $75,394.11. SAS will also provide the monitoring services for the security system at a cost of $45.00 a month or $540.00 a year.
Additionally, City staff has determined that SAS are the most qualified company to provide the installation of the access control reader keypads, fire alarm system, security alarm system, and security system monitoring due to their familiarity with the City and due to the fact that they are providing the same services at all other City locations including City Hall, Community Center, YLAC, and La Puente Park. Based on this determination, formalized in the attached resolutions, these transactions are exempt from competitive bidding requirements pursuant to La Puente Municipal Code Section
2.20.090.
