SUBJECT: PRESENTATION OF SEPTEMBER 2022 INVESTMENT REPORT
BACKGROUND
This report presents the City’s investment portfolio for the period of September 2022. The attachment provides details of the City’s portfolio. It has been prepared to comply with regulations contained in California Government Code Section 53600 and the Statement of Investment Policy approved by City Council on June 14, 2022.
The investment objectives of the City of La Puente are first, to provide safety of principal to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio, second, to provide sufficient liquidity to meet all operating requirements, and third, to earn a commensurate rate of return consistent with the constraints imposed by the safety and liquidity objectives.
The City follows the practice of pooling cash and investments for all funds under its direct control.
Interest earned on pooled cash and investments is allocated to the various funds based on the respective fund’s average quarterly cash balance. It is common for governments to pool the cash and investments of various funds to improve investment performance. By pooling funds, cities are able to benefit from economies of scale, diversification, liquidity and ease of administration.
DISCUSSION
The Investment Report for September 2022 has been provided as an attachment for your review.
The following table summarizes the City’s investment activity for the period:
City of La Puente
AGENDA REPORT
September 2022 Investment Report
For Meeting of October 25, 2022
FISCAL IMPACT
Idle cash invested in certificates of deposit, government securities, and corporate bonds typically return higher yields than LAIF (Local Agency Investment Fund). This maximizes returns without assuming substantial additional risk.
SUMMARY
In summary, the City has conservatively placed its investment portfolio in LAIF, federal agency securities, corporate bonds, and certificates of deposit. The portfolio complies with the Statement of Investment Policy and the City has the ability to meet its expenditure requirements for the next six months.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file this report.

AGENDA ITEM NO. D-4
To: Mayor and City Council For meeting of: October 25, 2022 From: Bob Lindsey, City Manager
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF A 30-DAY RESOLUTION REGARDING
THE CONDUCT OF TELECONFERENCED MEETINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
AND OTHER CITY BODIES UNDER THE MODIFIED RULES SET FORTH UNDER GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54953(E) AND OTHER APPLICABLE
PROVISIONS AS AMENDED BY AB 361
BACKGROUND
On March 4, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed a State of Emergency throughout the state of California, in response to the rapid spread and threat of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). On the same day, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (“LACDPH”) declared a local emergency and local public health emergency throughout Los Angeles County. On March 13, 2020 in response to the conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons within the City of La Puente, the Director of Emergency Services for the City of La Puente declared a local emergency. The declaration was ratified by the La Puente City Council (“City Council”) on March 17, 2020.
On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill (AB) 361 (Rivas, 2021), which authorizes local agencies to continue to hold public meetings remotely under modified teleconferencing requirements set forth in the Brown Act (Government Code section 54953(b)(3)) during a state-declared emergency, as that term is defined, and when either state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, or in situations when the legislative body has determined that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees. AB 361 went into effect immediately and sunsets on January 1, 2024.
Modified Brown Act requirements under AB 361, include, among other provisions, that:
• Members of the public must be allowed to address the body and offer comments in real-time during the meeting.
• In the event of a technical disruption, the public agency cannot take any further action on the agenda until the issue is resolved.
• Public agencies may not require public comments be submitted in advance (this is still a permissible option but cannot be the only option).
• Members of the public must be given a reasonable time to register to provide public comment, if necessary, and agencies that provide a timed public comment period shall not close the remote public comment option until that timed period has expired.

AGENDA REPORT
Agenda Report: AB 361 Monthly Extension
For meeting of: October 25, 2022
DISCUSSION
Since the initial emergency declaration, the health crisis and public agency protocols have evolved for public agencies. In La Puente, the City Council, Planning Commission and other legislative bodies of the City have conducted in-person meetings, hybrid in-person/remote meetings and fully remote teleconferenced meetings.
Under AB 361, legislative bodies of the City can meet remotely during a declared State of Emergency by the Governor that includes the jurisdictional boundaries of the City, if the legislative body determines that one of the following is also true:
1. State or local officials have imposed or recommended social distancing; or
2. To determine, by a majority vote, whether to hold remote meetings as a result of the State of Emergency, because meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees; or
3. The legislative body holds a meeting having already determined by a majority vote to hold remote meetings.
Pursuant to AB 361, the City Council must revisit the findings every 30 days. Therefore, staff is requesting that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing remote teleconference meetings for the period from October 30, 2022 through November 29, 2022, pursuant to Brown Act provisions.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 22-5759, authorizing the City Council, City Boards, and all Commissions of the City continue to hold teleconferenced meetings from October 30, 2022, through November 29, 2022.

AGENDA ITEM NO. D-5
To: Mayor and City Council For meeting of: October 25, 2022 From: Bob Lindsey, City Manager
By: John Di Mario, Director of Development Services
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH ADVANCED APPLIED ENGINEERING, INC. FOR ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
AND CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT SERVICES FOR THE WEST RESTROOM AT LA PUENTE PARK IN THE AMOUNT OF $51,746.00
BACKGROUND
As part of the City’s funding from the State Grant for improvements at La Puente Park in implementing the City’s park master plan, both the center or “middle” restroom as well as the restroom at the far west end of the park near Hacienda Boulevard are in need of improvements.
At the City Council Meeting of June 28, 2022, the City Council approved a professional services agreement with the firm of Westberg + White, Inc. for architectural design services in the amount of $47,200 to improve the middle restroom at La Puente Park. The scope of work for the middle restroom is to replace the fixtures and partitions (and plumbing, if needed), repair/refinish the floor, paint the interior and exterior of the building, replace the lighting and add a storage area to the end of the restroom building for use by La Puente Football and Cheer.
At the meeting of October 11, 2022, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Corral Construction & Development, Inc. in the amount of $348,877 to begin the work on this restroom building. With construction of the middle restroom expected to begin soon, the City is in need of professional architectural design services to improve the “west” restroom near Hacienda Boulevard.
DISCUSSION
The City has received a proposal from Advanced Applied Engineering, Inc., which does business as Infrastructure Engineers, for architectural design and construction support services (including construction observation) in the amount of $51,746.
The project scope will be similar to that of the middle restroom with the difference being that the west restroom will involve a new roof and additional framing between the existing roof rafters and there will not be a storage area added onto this restroom building.
Provided as Attachment “A” to this report is a Professional Services Agreement with Advanced Applied Engineering, Inc. to provide the City with professional architectural services and related construction support services at a cost of $51,746.

2. Provide weekly construction observations for the duration of the construction. It is assumed that we will spend 6 hours per week for a total of 8 weeks. We have also included 8 hours of Construction Management for the duration of the construction. The hours include providing weekly updates to the city on the progress of construction. If additional observation hours are requested by the City's or contractor or if the construction duration is longer than 8 weeks, then all hours after the hours in this proposal will be charged based on the latest hourly rate schedule.

Automobile liability insurance. Consultant shall maintain automobile insurance at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CA 00 01 covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the Consultant arising out of or in connection with Work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for any owned, hired, non-owned or rented vehicles, in an amount not less than $1,000,000.00 combined single limit for each accident.
Professional liability (errors & omissions) insurance. Consultant shall maintain professional liability insurance that covers the Services to be performed in connection with this Agreement, in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate. 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.
13 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. 14 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.

AGENDA ITEM NO. D-7
To: Mayor and City Council For meeting of: October 25, 2022 From: Bob Lindsey, City Manager
By: John Di Mario, Development Services Director
William C. Pagett, City Engineer
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF FINAL PARCEL MAP NO. 82347
AND SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 658 DEL VALLE AVENUE
BACKGROUND
At the meeting of April 2, 2019, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 19-1529 approving Tentative Parcel Map No. (“TPM”) 82347 to subdivide a 0.43 acre lot for the development of three detached, single story, single family homes (“Project”) located at 658 Del Valle Avenue. Resolution No. 19-1529 established Conditions of Approval for the subdivision that included the preparation and submittal of a Final Parcel Map for the City’s review and approval.
The approval of the Final Parcel Map is a ministerial act which means the action is performed according to statutes and legal authority following established procedures without exercising judgment or discretion.
DISCUSSION
The Project is located on a 0.43 acre lot bounded by Del Valle Avenue to the west and residential homes to the east, north and south. The site frontage is currently improved with curb & gutter which will be modified and further improved as part of the Project.
The Engineering Division has reviewed the conditions of approval for TPM 82347 and has determined that all conditions have been complied with as set forth in Resolution No. 19-1529 (Attachment A). Condition No. 5 of the Resolution requires that the developer either complete or bond for all off-site improvements such as the driveway approach, new curb and gutter, sidewalk and installation of survey monuments before recordation of the final map. The developer has opted to submit a cash deposit in lieu of the bond for the off-site improvements, so that the improvements may be installed when the property reaches final completion and prior to any of the homes being sold. The cash deposit requires the execution of a Subdivision Improvement Agreement, a copy of which is included as Attachment B.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City relative to the approval of this Final Parcel Map.
City of La Puente
AGENDA REPORT

Any such appeal shall be filed with the City Clerk within 10 (ten) days after receipt by Subdivider of the written notice from the Director. Further, if any of the circumstances specified in Section 4 occur, the provisions of this paragraph shall not prevent Subdivider from requesting a time extension to perform said work, pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.

E. Until the Notice of Completion is recorded, Subdivider shall be responsible for the care and maintenance of such Improvements and shall bear all risks of loss or damage to said Improvements.

G.

2. INSPECTION OF WORK AND FINAL ACCEPTANCE
A. Upon completion of the Improvements the Subdivider may request a final inspection by the City Engineer. Subdivider shall maintain proper facilities and safe access for inspection of the Improvements by the City Engineer and other City personnel. Within ten (10) business days of any inspection of the Improvements, the Director shall, as a courtesy, provide written notice to Subdivider of the list of items which have been found to be incomplete and the list of items which have been found to be complete. Regardless of the list provided to the Subdivider by the City, Subdivider shall complete all Improvements as required by this Agreement. If the City Engineer determines that all of the Improvements have been completed in accordance with this Agreement and in compliance with the Improvement Plans and all applicable City standards, then the City Engineer shall promptly certify in writing to the City Council the completion of the Improvements. When applicable law requires an inspection at a particular state of construction of the Improvements, Subdivider shall not proceed with additional work until the inspection has been made, and the work is approved. Subdivider shall bear all costs of inspection and certification for completeness in accordance with City’s standard fees and rates.
4 B. Acceptance and approval of the Notice of Completion by the City Council shall not constitute a waiver by the City of any defect(s) in the Improvements.
3. GUARANTEE AND WARRANTY OF THE IMPROVEMENTS
A. Subdivider shall guarantee the Improvements against any defective workmanship or any unsatisfactory performance for one year after the recordation of the Notice of Completion. If, within said one year period, any Improvements or part of any Improvements furnished, installed or constructed by the Subdivider, or any of the related work performed under this Agreement, fails to comply with any requirements of this Agreement, or the Subdivision Laws, or the Improvement Plans and related specifications, the Subdivider shall, without delay and without cost to the City, repair, replace or reconstruct any defective or otherwise unsatisfactory part or parts of the Improvements.
B. Should the Subdivider fail or refuse to act promptly or in accordance with subparagraph 3.A above following thirty (30) days written notice, then the City may, in its reasonable discretion, make the necessary repairs or replacements or perform the necessary reconstruction and, if Subdivider fails to reimburse City for such reasonable costs within fifteen (15) days following a written demand therefore from City, City may draw upon the Subdivider’s improvement security to reimburse itself for the costs incurred. If the Subdivider’s improvement security does not cover the total cost of such repair, replacement, or reconstruction, the Subdivider shall reimburse the City for any reasonable excess costs incurred.
C. Should the City determine that the public health or safety requires curing any defect before Subdivider can be notified or adequately respond, the City may, in its sole discretion, perform such work as is reasonably necessary to protect the public health or safety, and Subdivider shall pay to City the cost of such work.
D. The security furnished for the faithful performance of the Subdivider’s obligation to construct and install the Improvements described herein shall include Subdivider’s liability hereunder for the one-year guarantee and warranty of the Improvements as set forth in subparagraph 3.A above.
4. TIME EXTENSIONS
A. Upon a showing by the Subdivider of good cause, the date for commencement of work on the Improvements, or the Completion Date, may be extended by the Director, with the written concurrence of the City Manager. Consent to any such extension shall not be unreasonably withheld. As used herein, “good cause” may include, without limitation, delay resulting from an act or omission of the City; acts of God or force majeure, including, without limitation, inclement weather; inability to obtain labor or materials through no fault of Subdivider; civil unrest; and strikes, boycotts or similar job actions by employees or labor organizations which prevent the conduct of the work.
5 B. As a condition of any time extension provided for herein, the Director, with the written concurrence of the City Manager, may require the Subdivider to furnish new or modified improvement security guaranteeing performance of this Agreement, as extended, in an increased amount as necessary to compensate for any projected increase in the Estimated Total Cost of Improvements, as reasonably determined by the Director.
5. IMPROVEMENT SECURITY
A. Prior to City’s execution of this Agreement, Subdivider shall provide as security bonds to the City:
1. For Performance and Guarantee: Security in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Estimated Total Cost of the Improvements as set forth in Section 1, above (“Performance Security”). The form of which shall be subject to City Attorney’s prior approval.
2. For Payment: To secure Subdivider’s payment to any contractor, subcontractor, person renting or supplying equipment, or furnishing labor and materials for completion of the Improvements, security in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the Estimated Total Cost of the Improvements as set forth above in the Section 1, above (“Payment Security”). The form of which shall be subject to City Attorney’s prior approval.
3. Warranty: To warranty the Subdivider’s work for a period of one (1) year following recordation of the Notice of Completion against any defective work or labor done or defective materials furnished, in the amount of twenty-five percent (25%) of the Estimated Total Cost of the Improvements as set forth above in the Section 1, above (“Warranty Security”).

B. If the improvement security is a corporate surety bond and, in the opinion of the City, any surety or sureties thereon become insufficient, the Subdivider shall renew or replace any such surety bond with good and sufficient surety or sureties within ten (10) days after receiving from City written demand therefor.
C. Improvement security consisting of corporate surety bonds, issued by sureties that are admitted to do business in the State of California, shall be kept on file with the City Clerk. If a corporate surety bond is replaced by another approved bond, the replacement shall be filed with the City Clerk and, upon filing, shall be deemed to have been made a part of and incorporated into this Agreement. Upon filing and approval by the Director of a replacement bond, the former improvement security shall be released and exonerated. 6 D. Modifications of the Improvement Plans and related specifications, and modifications of the Improvements, not exceeding ten percent (10%) of the original Estimated Total Cost of the Improvements, shall not subject Subdivider to providing additional improvement security. If any such modifications exceed ten percent (10%) of the Estimated Total Cost of the Improvements, Subdivider shall furnish additional improvement security for performance and guarantee, and for payment, as required by subparagraph A above, for one hundred percent (100%) of the revised Estimated Total Cost of the Improvements.
E. Notwithstanding Subsection 5D above, Subdivider’s security shall compensate the City for the actual cost of completing the required Improvements in the event of default by the Subdivider in the performance of this Agreement, regardless of whether the City’s cost of completion exceeds the estimated cost of the Improvements.
6. REDUCTION OR RELEASE OF IMPROVEMENT SECURITY
A. Performance security shall be released upon the recordation of the Notice of Completion.
B. If City receives no notice of recorded claims of lien, labor and materials security shall be released in full 90 days after recordation of the Notice of Completion. If City receives notice of any recorded lien, the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act shall apply.
C. No security given for the guarantee or warranty of work shall be released until the expiration of the warranty period and until any claims filed during the warranty period have been settled. As provided in Section 3 of this Agreement, the warranty period shall not commence until recordation of the Notice of Completion. Warranty security not utilized during the warranty period shall be released one year after recordation of the Notice of Completion.
However, if at the end of the one-year warranty period, there are one or more outstanding requests by City for performance of work or provision of materials under the terms of the warranty, warranty security shall be retained until the outstanding requests are satisfied or until Subdivider has made other arrangements satisfactory to the City Engineer.
D. City may retain from any security released an amount sufficient to cover costs and reasonable expenses and fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
7. INDEMNIFICATION.
A. City and Subdivider agree that City, its elected and appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, contractors, consultants and volunteers (“City Indemnitees”) should, to the extent permitted by law, be fully protected from any and all loss, injury, damage, claim, lawsuit, cost, expense, attorneys’ fees, litigation or court costs, or any other cost arising out of or in any way related to the Subdivider’s performance of this Agreement (collectively, 7 “Claims”). Accordingly, the provisions of this indemnity clause are intended by the City and Subdivider to be interpreted and construed to provide the fullest protection possible under the law to City. Subdivider acknowledges that City would not enter into this Agreement in the absence of Subdivider’s commitment to indemnify and protect City as set forth herein.
B. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Subdivider shall indemnify, defend with counsel selected by City, and hold harmless the City Indemnitees from and against any and all Claims of every nature arising out of or in connection with Subdivider’s performance of this Agreement or failure to comply with this Agreement. Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Subdivider from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any Claims whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Subdivider acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.
C. The obligations of Subdivider under this Section 7 will not be limited by the provisions of any workers’ compensation act or similar act. Subdivider expressly waives its statutory immunity under such statutes or laws as to the City Indemnitees.
D. Subdivider’s obligations under this Section 7 are not conditioned or dependent upon whether the City, or its officers, agents and employees, prepared, supplied or reviewed any Improvement Plans or related specifications in connection with the Subdivision or the Improvements, or has insurance or other indemnification covering any of these matters.
E. Subdivider’s obligation to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the City Indemnitees shall extend to injuries to persons and damages to or alleged taking of property resulting from the design or construction of the Subdivision, and the Improvements required herein, and shall likewise extend to adjacent property owners asserting claims based upon the diversion of waters caused by the Subdivider’s related design or construction of public drainage systems, streets, and other public facilities or improvements. The City’s acceptance of the Improvements shall not constitute an assumption by the City of any responsibility or liability for any damage or alleged taking of property referenced herein. City shall not be responsible or liable for the design or construction of the Subdivision or the Improvements constructed or installed pursuant to the approved Improvement Plans or the Final Map, regardless of any act or omission by the City in approving the Improvement Plans or the Final Map, unless the particular Improvement design was required by the City over the written objection of the Subdivider, which objection stated that the Improvement design was potentially dangerous or defective and set forth an alternative design. This indemnification obligation shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7 to the contrary, Subdivider’s improvement security shall not be required to secure the Subdivider’s obligations under this Section 7 beyond the one-year guarantee and warranty period.
F. Subdivider agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth here in this Section 7 from each and every subcontractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Subdivider in the performance of this Agreement.
8 8. INSURANCE.
A. Prior to commencement of work on the Improvements, the Subdivider shall obtain, and shall, at its sole costs and expense, carry, maintain, and keep in full force and effect insurance of the types and in the amounts as set forth below:
i. Comprehensive General Liability Insurance in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) including bodily injury, property damage, products, completed operations and contractual liability coverage. ii. Automobile Liability Insurance for vehicles used in connection with the performance of this Agreement with minimum limits of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence.
iii. Statutory Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance for any and all persons employed directly or indirectly by Subdivider. The Statutory Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance shall be provided with limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per accident.
iv. Professional Liability Insurance against errors and omissions in the performance of the work under this Agreement with coverage limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00).
B. City and its officers, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be named as additional insureds with respect to each of the insurance policies required under this Agreement except for Statutory Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance and Professional Liability Insurance. The coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of protection afforded to City or its officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers. An endorsement must state that coverage is primary insurance with respect to the City and its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers, and that no insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City shall be called upon to contribute to a loss under the coverage.
C. Subdivider shall require each of its subcontractors, if any, to maintain insurance coverage that meets all of the requirements of this Agreement.
D. The policy or policies required by this Agreement shall be issued by an insurer admitted in the State of California. The policy or policies for Comprehensive General Liability Insurance, Automobile Liability Insurance, Statutory Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance shall be issued by an insurer with a rating of at least A:VII in the latest edition of Best’s Insurance Guide.
E. Subdivider agrees that if it does not keep the insurance required by this Section 8 in full force and effect the City may declare Subdivider in default; or take out the necessary insurance and pay, at Subdivider’s expense, the premium thereon. 9 F. Prior to commencement of the work on the Improvements, Subdivider shall maintain on file with City’s Risk Manager a certificate or certificates of insurance showing that the insurance policies required by this Section 8 are in effect in the required amounts and naming the City as an additional insured. Subdivider shall, prior to commencement of work under this Agreement, file with City’s Risk Manager such certificate(s).
G. Subdivider shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Such proof will be furnished at least two weeks prior to the expiration of the coverages.
H. All insurance policies required herein shall be written on an occurrence basis and shall name the City Indemnitees as additional insureds, with the exception of professional liability insurance, which shall be written on a claims-made basis. All of the policies required under this Agreement shall contain an endorsement providing that the policies cannot be canceled or reduced except on thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to City.
Subdivider agrees to require its insurer to modify the certificates of insurance to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, and to delete the word “endeavor” with regard to any notice provisions.
I. Subdivider’s insurance coverage shall be primary insurance and shall not be contributing with any insurance or self-insurance maintained by City, and the policies shall so provide. The insurance policies shall contain a waiver of subrogation for the benefit of the City.
J. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. At the option of City, Subdivider shall either reduce or eliminate the deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to City, or Subdivider shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and expenses.
9. OWNERSHIP OF THE IMPROVEMENTS
A. Ownership of all or any category of the Improvements constructed and installed by the Subdivider pursuant to this Agreement and to be dedicated to the City pursuant to the Final Map shall, as applicable, vest in the City upon recordation of a Notice of Completion.
B. The Subdivider shall at all times prior to the acceptance of the Improvements by the City, give good and adequate warning to the public of each and every dangerous and defective condition caused by the construction of the Improvements of which Subdivider or its agents or employees have knowledge and shall take all steps reasonably necessary under the circumstances to protect the public from such dangerous or defective conditions, if any.
10. DEFAULT AND BREACH BY THE SUBDIVIDER AND REMEDIES
A. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, the Subdivider shall be deemed to be in default under this Agreement:
10 1. Subject to any time extensions granted in accordance with Section 4, failure to commence construction and installation of the Improvements by the commencement date set forth above in the Subdivision Reference Data;
2. Failure to correct or cure any defect in the Improvements during the one-year guarantee and warranty period, as required by Section 3A or failure to commence correction or cure of any such defect or failure to diligently prosecute same to completion;
3. Subject to any time extensions granted in accordance with Section 4, failure to perform substantial construction work, after commencement of work on the Improvements, for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from the City;
4. Insolvency, appointment of a receiver, or the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, whether voluntary or involuntary, and such is not cured or discharged within a period of sixty (60) days;
5. Commencement of a foreclosure action against the Subdivision or any portion thereof, or any conveyance by the Subdivider in lieu or in avoidance of foreclosure; or
6. Failure to perform any other obligations in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from the City.
B. City reserves to itself all remedies available to it at law or in equity for any breach of Subdivider’s obligations under this Agreement. City shall have the right, without limitation of other rights or remedies, to draw upon or utilize any improvement security furnished hereunder to mitigate City’s damages in the event of Subdivider’s default.
C. The City may serve written notice of any default upon the surety on any corporate surety bond furnished as improvement security hereunder, and request that said surety take over and complete the Improvements herein specified. If such surety, within fifteen (15) days after service of such notice of default, does not give the City written notice of its intention to perform this Agreement, or does not commence such performance within five (5) days after notice to the City of such intention to perform, the City may take over the work and prosecute the same to completion, by contract or by any other method the City deems advisable, for the account and at the expense of the Subdivider and its surety.
D. Subdivider acknowledges that the Estimated Total Costs and improvement security amounts set forth herein may not reflect the actual cost of construction or installation of the Improvements, and, consequently, City’s damages for Subdivider’s default shall be measured by the cost of completing the required Improvements. If the damages incurred by the City in taking over and completing the Improvements exceeds the principal amount of the improvement 11 security, then the Subdivider shall reimburse the City in the amount of such excess damages.
E. City may, without liability for so doing, take possession of, and utilize in completing the Improvements, such materials, appliances, plants and other property belonging to Subdivider as may be on the site of the work and necessary for the performance of the work.
Subdivider hereby consents to entry by the City and its forces, including contractors, upon any real property in the Subdivision owned by Subdivider or by any assignee of this Agreement, in the event the City elects to maintain or complete the work on the Improvements following Subdivider’s default.
F. The City’s failure to take an enforcement action with respect to a default, or to declare a default or breach, shall not be construed as a waiver of that default or breach or any subsequent default or breach of the Subdivider.
G. If City sues to compel Subdivider’s performance of this Agreement, or to recover from Subdivider or Subdivider’s sureties damages or costs incurred in completing or maintaining the work on the Improvements, Subdivider agrees to pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses of litigation incurred by the City in connection therewith, even if Subdivider subsequently resumes and completes the work.
11. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES
Neither Subdivider, nor any of Subdivider’s contractors, employees or agents, are or shall be deemed to be, agents of the City in connection with the performance of Subdivider’s obligations under this Agreement.
12. ASSIGNMENT
A. Subdivider shall not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the City which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any attempted or purported assignment in violation of this subparagraph shall be null and void and shall have no force or effect. In the event of such assignment, replacement bonds, in a form satisfactory to City, shall be provided to City.
B. The sale or other disposition of the Subdivision shall not relieve Subdivider of its obligations hereunder. If Subdivider intends to sell the Subdivision, or any portion thereof, to any other person or entity, the Subdivider may request a novation of this Agreement and a substitution of improvement security. Upon the City’s approval of the novation and substitution of improvement security, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Subdivider may request a release or reduction of the improvement security furnished pursuant to this Agreement, which shall not be unreasonably denied.

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH SUPERIOR SECURITY SPECIALISTS, INC. DBA SUPERIOR
ALARM SYSTEMS FOR SECURITY CAMERAS AND SPEAKER SYSTEM AT LA PUENTE PARK IN THE AMOUNT OF $151,300.00
BACKGROUND
At the City Council meeting of May 25, 2021, the City Council approved the use of funds from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. One of the items approved consists of the installation of security cameras and a speaker system at La Puente Park. This project will allow City staff to visually monitor activities at the Park from a central location and provide for the ability to verbally contact park patrons through the speaker system.
At the Council meeting of July 13, 2021, the City Council approved a professional services agreement with Superior Alarm Systems (“SAS”) for security cameras and speaker system at La Puente Park in the amount of $372,252.00.
At the City Council meeting of December 14, 2021, the City Council received notification that State Assemblymember Lisa Calderon was able to secure a Specified Grant from the California Department of Parks and Recreation for the security camera and speaker system at La Puente Park. Due to this grant, funding for this project was changed from American Rescue Plan to this Specified Grant.
At the City Council meeting of June 14, 2022, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Superior Alarm Systems to furnish and install six (6) new IP outdoor rated security cameras and associated cable and fiber runs at the La Puente Park, four (4) computers that will specifically used to monitor the park security cameras and speakers, and twenty-four (24) body worn cameras that will be worn by Community Service staff and Code Enforcement staff at La Puente Park.
DISCUSSION
City staff are recommending that the City Council approve an additional amendment to the professional services agreement with SAS to furnish and install eleven (11) new IP outdoor rated security cameras and associated cable and fiber runs at the La Puente Park. Cameras will be located at both playgrounds (0-5 & 5-12) and the amphitheater area. All new cameras will be connected to the new Genetec camera system, with the correct assigned lifetime licensing, via the switch located in the Maintenance building installed by SAS.

For meeting of: June 14, 2022
Additionally, the amendment will also include the purchase and installation of two (2) monitor boxes that will house the digital menu and signage for the new La Puente Park snack bar. These boxes will provide a safe and secure housing for the two monitors.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this amendment to the project is provided through the Specified Grants from the California Department of Parks and Recreation as well as the American Rescue Plan Fund. The quote provided by SAS totaled $151,300. With a 10 percent (10%) amendment contingency of $15,100.00, the total estimated cost would be $166,400.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council: (1) approve Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement with Superior Security Specialists, Inc., dba Superior Alarm Systems in the amount of $151,300.00; (2) and authorize the City Manager to execute the Amendment and approve change orders up to 10% of the original bid amount on behalf of the City.

SUBJECT: PRESENTATION OF SEPTEMBER 2022 BUDGET REPORT
BACKGROUND
The City Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Budget and Capital Improvement Program on May 16, 2022. The attached report examines fiscal activity taking place during the month of September 2022 and includes all funds within the operating budget. The report analyzes yearto-date transactions in comparison to budgeted amounts for the entire fiscal year, expressing each category using a percentage-of-completion methodology. It additionally provides comparisons in activity level to the same time period last fiscal year.
DISCUSSION
As of the end of September 2022, twenty-five (25) percent of the fiscal year has elapsed.
REVENUES
The City received its first remittance of Sales and Use Tax and Measure LP transactions tax for the fiscal year, in the amounts of $308,707 and $307,430, respectively. This corresponds to about eight (8) percent of budget. Several General Fund revenue accounts are currently outpacing their budget expectations. Strong activity within Building & Safety Permits, at 56%, is being driven by permit fees for a new residential development within the city limits.
Recreation Programs and Passport Program display results of 54% and 56% of budgeted revenues, respectively, owing largely to the popularity of the program and the service provided by staff at the La Puente Community Center.
EXPENDITURES
Across all funds, expenditures fiscal year-to-date represent 14.6% of budget, in comparison to
13.1% at this time last year. The figures for the General Fund are 13.2% and 12.0%, respectively.
The City continues to expend revenues from the Measure LP transactions tax exclusively on public safety, street and sidewalk repairs, and community services, as was the intent of the enacting legislation. Fiscal year-to-date, the City has expended approximately $1,794,900 in City of La Puente

Subject: City of La Puente cease and desist to Candidate
Jesse,
I am writing to you to let you know that there appears to be a campaign violation involving one of the candidates for city council, Charlie Klinakis.
Charlie Klinakis sent a campaign mailer using the city of La Puente logo (see attached). The campaign mailer was sent to residents of the city of La Puente before the upcoming election and in anticipation of the vote by mail ballots being released to the public.
As the City Attorney it is your responsibility to ensure compliance with the proper campaign procedures and the use of the logo insinuates approval by the City endorsing his campaign. This is an egregious violation that disadvantages the remaining candidates and has now been mailed. The damage has been done to all of the remaining candidates.
In a similar incident that occurred in November 2019, the City Attorney for the city of Glendale sent a cease and desist letter to a candidate for city council Greg Astorian who also used a logo for the city on a campaign mailer that was sent.
There, the City Attorney took the appropriate action.

Please let us know what steps you'll be taking. We demand immediate injunctive relief considering this violation.

Subject: Re: Allegation regarding campaign violation in use of City Logo ‐ City of La Puente
Mr, Jauregui,
Can you please clarify what appropriate action you have taken? Is this a sanction, fine or some other action? You do realize that the harm has been done, but what remedy to the other candidates have you provided. A public apology by the candidate acknowledging that he erred, something along those lines? What about the harm to the other candidates, the unfair advantage this had given the candidate in question, and perhaps, the more egregious violation, which is the ongoing use of the social media instagram for the City of La Puente for campaign purposes to boost and promote Mr.
Klinakis and Valerie Munoz. Has any specific action been taken to sanction the candidates for this misuse of city finances for campaign purposes. Has the FPPC been contacted by your office?
The department of justice for the state of California has been CC'd to create an appropriate record and to verify any inaction on your part.
Please advise.
Best,
Jesus
