SUBJECT: PRESENTATION OF APRIL 2023 INVESTMENT REPORT
BACKGROUND
This report presents the City’s investment portfolio for the period of April 2023. 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 the 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 April 2023 has been provided as an attachment for your review. The following table summarizes the City’s investment activity for the period:

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On May 28, 2019, the City Council approved to add the position of Community Engagement Supervisor to be responsible for the La Puente Community Foundation (LPCF) engagement efforts and raising funds through the foundation for the purpose of providing community-based programming to benefit the residents of the City. In November 2022, the LPCF began operating the La Puente Park Snack Bar to raise funds, and since then the snack bar has continued to grow in popularity within the community. In a few months, the LPCF will also be opening the La Puente Park Coffee Shop.
To operate the La Puente Park Snack Bar and Coffee Shop effectively, Staff recommends that the City Council add the position of a Concession and Event Supervisor to assist the Community Engagement Supervisor with daily operations and supervision of concession and event service staff, as well as provide the Community Engagement Supervisor with administration, operational, and supervisorial support of the LPCF programming, concessions, and events. The Concession and Event Supervisor will play an integral role with the LPCF by developing and establishing concession menus. Additionally, the Food and Beverage Supervisor will ensure that a consistent level of quality service at the La Puente Park Snack Bar and Coffee Shop is maintained.

The total expense associated with the addition of the Concession and Event Supervisor is approximately $82,900 per fiscal year or $6,900 per month. For the remainder of the fiscal year 22/23 and fiscal year 23/24, the La Puente Community Foundation will reimburse the City half of the monthly cost or $3,450. The City's portion will be funded through the American Rescue Plan funding.

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”.
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.

13.0 DIVERSIFICATION

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.

Book Value. The value at which a debt security is reflected on the holder's records at any point in time. Book value is also called “amortized cost” as it represents the original cost of an investment adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.

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.

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.

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.

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. All MBS have reinvestment risk as actual principal and interest payments are dependent on the payment of the underlying mortgages which can be prepaid by mortgage holders to refinance and lower rates or simply because the underlying property was sold.

Primary dealers are considered the largest players in the U.S. Treasury securities market.
Principal. Face value of a financial instrument on which interest accrues. May be less than par value if some principal has been repaid or retired. For a transaction, principal is par value times price and includes any premium or discount.
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.

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.

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. TVA is currently authorized to issue debt up to $30 billion. Under this authorization, TVA may also obtain advances from the U.S. Treasury of up to $150 million. Frequent issuer of discount notes, agency notes and callable agency securities.
Total Return. Investment performance measured over a period of time that includes coupon interest, interest on interest, and both realized and unrealized gains or losses. Total return
includes, therefore, any market value appreciation/depreciation on investments held at period end.
Treasuries. Collective term used to describe debt instruments backed by the U.S. Government and issued through the U.S. Department of the Treasury. 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.
Treasury Notes. Intermediate interest-bearing debt securities backed by the U.S. Government and issued with maturities ranging from one to ten years by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The Treasury currently issues
2-year, 5-year and 10-year Treasury Notes.

United States Treasury Securities. See “Treasuries”.
Unrealized Gains (Losses). The difference between the market value 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 also “Realized Gains (Losses).”
Weighted Average Maturity (or just “Average Maturity”). 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.

AGENDA ITEM NO. D-5
To: Mayor and City Council For meeting of: May 23, 2023 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 2023-2024
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. 22-5729 which approved the investment policy for fiscal year 2022-2023 on June 14, 2022.
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 2022/2023 and recommends that the City Council re-certify the existing policy.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ACCEPTANCE OF NOTICE OF COMPLETION FOR
UNRUH AVENUE WALL IMPROVEMENT BETWEEN FLYNN STREET
AND AMAR ROAD
BACKGROUND
On September 13, 2022, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Leonida Builders Inc. in the amount of $420,405 to complete the Unruh Avenue Wall Improvement Between and Flynn Street and Amar Road Project (“Project”). The contract award also included a 10 percent contingency of $42,041 to cover any quantity adjustments and/or unforeseen construction items.
DISCUSSION
On February 21, 2023, Leonida Builders commenced work on the Project and the Project was completed on May 1, 2023. The Project involved the removal of the existing block wall and construction of a new seven (7) foot tall decorative block wall and pilasters, approximately 600 feet long, matching the wall on Amar Road completed in July 2021. The work also included the removal and replacement of the sidewalk along Unruh Avenue.
The contractor’s bid price for this Project was $420,405. During construction, there was one change order in the amount $10,300 that included additional concrete footing, fence railing, and gate, and removal and replacement of damaged curb & gutter along the sidewalk. The total construction cost for this project was $430,705 which is just 2.5% above the original contract amount due to the change order work.
FISCAL IMPACT
The original bid schedule for construction of this Project totaled $420,405. With the one change order of $10,300 and associated project costs for construction management, inspection, and material testing of $66,385, the Project construction cost was $497,090. On September 13, 2022, the Council adopted Resolution No. 22-5751 amending the Capital Budget for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 to increase the expenditure appropriation in Measure R funds by $238,446, increasing the total Project funding to $512,446 through a combination of Measure R and Measure M funds. The project was successfully completed within budget.

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AUTHORIZATION TO SOLICIT BIDS FOR PEDESTRIAN
HYBRID (HAWK) SIGNAL INSTALLATION ON HACIENDA BOULEVARD AT
PRICHARD STREET
BACKGROUND
In 2015, the City installed a new high-visibility crosswalk on Hacienda Boulevard at Prichard Street to improve pedestrian safety, particularly for students crossing the street on the way to and from La Puente High School. Solar-powered Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) and pedestrian crossing signs mounted on 16-foot tall posts were installed along with intersection bulb-outs constructed as part of the crosswalk improvements.
Since then, La Puente Park has undergone tremendous improvements that now draw large volumes of visitors participating in the youth sports leagues and enjoying the park amenities every weekend. As a result, the City expanded the parking area which serves the Park to include marked on-street parking stalls along Hacienda Boulevard. Due to the increased park activity and pedestrian crossings on Hacienda Boulevard at Prichard Street, Staff recommends that the RRFBs be upgraded to a new Pedestrian Hybrid Signal, also known as a “HAWK” signal.
Somewhat similar to the RRFBs, HAWK signals are pedestrian activated traffic signals that allow pedestrians to cross the road safely, operating in a YELLOW–RED–FLASHING RED sequence to alert motorists that pedestrians need to cross the street. The HAWK signals are mounted on mast arms above the crosswalk and are more visible from a distance, than the sidewalk mounted RRFB’s. Thus, the HAWK signals are considered a safety enhancement over the RRFBs. Plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E) have been completed for the installation of a new HAWK signal on Hacienda Boulevard at Prichard Street, and the project is ready for solicitation of bids to construct the improvements.
DISCUSSION
The cost estimates and specifications for construction of this project have been completed and the project is ready to be advertised for formal bid. The plans and specifications are available for public review in the City Clerk’s office. The engineer’s estimate for the construction of the proposed HAWK signal is $255,000.

AGENDA ITEM NO. D-8
To: Mayor and City Council For meeting of: May 23, 2023 From: Bob Lindsey, City Manager
By: John Di Mario, Development Services Director
Juan Galvan, MPA, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING THE ENTITIES PERMITTED TO SELL SAFE AND SANE FIREWORKS IN THE CITY FOR 2023
BACKGROUND
Under City of La Puente Municipal Code (“Code”), Chapter 9.04 - Fire Code, the City Council may issue permits allowing the retail sale of safe and sane fireworks in the City, as defined in the State Fireworks Law, to any applicant designated by the City Council to sell safe and sane fireworks.
DISCUSSION
2023 Fireworks Sales
For 2023, the City received permit applications from Delhaven Community Center, La Puente Girls Softball, St. Louis of France Catholic Church, and Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post #1944 to operate a total of eight firework stand locations in the City. TNT Fireworks is the wholesaler for the eight fireworks stand locations. Furthermore, VFW Post #1944 secures permits for five (5) stand locations, as they have partnered with various other local groups and organizations over the past several years to assist them with the operational logistics of fireworks sales. The City also received an application from the Industry La Puente Music Boosters; however, the application was lacking required information and supporting documents, so the application was deemed incomplete and was not considered.
Listed below is a summary of the 8 complete applications received:
Address Location Organization
1. 17305 Valley Blvd. Bodega Market Center Post #1944
2. 1807-1857 Hacienda Blvd. Food 4 Less Center Post #1944

8. Old Valley/Valley Blvd. Vacant Private Parcel Delhaven Community Center The above-listed groups and organizations were all approved by the City Council last year in 2022 to sell safe and sane fireworks in the City.
Permittees are required to file Temporary Seller’s Permits with the State Franchise Tax Board to ensure that sales tax generated from the sale of fireworks will be allocated to the City and to obtain electrical permits for the proposed firework stand locations as well as approval from the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
FISCAL IMPACT
Last year the City received approximately $2,400.00 in sales tax revenue from the sale of safe and sane fireworks. If sales are similar to the previous year, the City would expect to receive a similar amount this year. In addition, an application fee of $588.00 is collected for each stand application (for a total of $4,704) to review and process the applications and for site inspections following the placement of the stands at the locations.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 23-5799 designating the entities permitted to sell safe and sane fireworks in the City.

To: Mayor and City Council For meeting of: May 23, 2023 From: Bob Lindsey, City Manager
By: John Di Mario, Development Services Director
Juan Galvan, MPA, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ACCEPTANCE OF NOTICE OF COMPLETION FOR
CONSTRUCTION SERVICES WITH MDJ MANAGEMENT LLC FOR AN
ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE BUILDING IN THE CITY YARD AT LA
PUENTE PARK
BACKGROUND
On March 22, 2022, the City Council awarded MDJ Management, LLC a $438,433.13 construction contract, inclusive of change orders up to 10% of the original bid amount, to construct an additional maintenance building in the City Yard at La Puente Park (the "Project").
DISCUSSION
MDJ Management, LLC (“MDJ”) began construction on the Project on March 28, 2022, and it was completed on April 10, 2023. The project entailed grading the project site according to the geotechnical report's specifications, after which the building's foundation was poured. This was followed by the construction of a 3,000-square-foot (75' W by 40' D) maintenance building with three roll-up doors. The new structure is made of 24-gauge steel panels on a 12-gauge steel frame. The steel is coated with a rust-resistant siliconized polyester color coating, and the steel panels are insulated and weather-tight to create a thermal and moisture barrier.
Initially, MDJ anticipated that the structure would be delivered to the site between late November and early December 2022. However, due to unanticipated logistical obstacles with the building's manufacturer and shipment of the structure, there was a delay in the on-site construction. The building was ultimately delivered to the project site on January 3, 2023, and construction of the structure commenced the following week.
Due to the adjacent grade around the new concrete foundation, a change order in the amount of $29,344.85 was required to construct a new curb and a PVC drainpipe to facilitate water discharge. In addition, the change order involved the installation of additional concrete in front of the new concrete foundation to align it with the existing concrete pad on site. The total construction cost for this project was $467,777.98, which is 6.4% above the original contract amount due to the quantity adjustments and change order work discussed above.

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH DRAKE TRAFFIC CONTROL SERVICES INC. FOR SPECIAL EVENT TRAFFIC CONTROL SERVICES IN THE AMOUNT OF $27,461.25.
BACKGROUND
Since 2014, the City has routinely prepared a formal traffic control and detour plan (“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 routinely installed the closure plan for the July 3rd Fortunato Jimenez Independence Day Celebration.
At the meeting of June 14, 2022, the City Council approved a Professional Service Agreement (“Agreement”) with Drake Traffic Control Services, Inc. (“Drake”) for traffic closure and detour services for the July 3rd event in 2022. Term of the Agreement is for three (3) years.
DISCUSSION
Based on the implementation of last year’s Plan, the City has made some revisions to the Plan that have been reviewed and approved by the City’s Traffic Engineer. The changes result in some additional traffic control devices and apparatus that will be deployed by Drake for this year’s event.
Provided as Attachment A is Amendment No. 1 (“First Amendment”) to the Agreement, which increases the payment amount by $2,576.25 for a total event contract amount not to exceed $27,461.25.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this amendment to the Agreement has been budgeted for in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Annual Budget in the Public Works – Contract Services line item. The total cost for these services for this year’s event is $27,461.25. This expense is funded by the General Fund.

By: Troy O. Grunklee, CPA, Director of Administrative Services Alex Merkel Medina, Finance Manager
SUBJECT: PRESENTATION OF APRIL 2023 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 April 2023 and includes all funds within the operating budget. The report analyzes year-to-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 April 2023, eighty-three (83) percent of the fiscal year has elapsed.
REVENUES
In the General Fund, revenues show a slight decrease of $28,400 year-over-year. This is largely due to a slowing in Sales and Use Tax and Measure LP revenues, with year-to-date collections of approximately 63% each, in contrast to 74% and 79%, respectively, in April 2022.
Other General Fund revenues display a strong trajectory. Property Tax, the largest overall revenue source for the fund, has realized $4.39 million in revenue to date, an increase of $236,348 over this time last fiscal year. Licenses and Permits, Fines and Forfeitures, Use of Money, and Charges for Services all post results in excess of 100% of budget at this time.
EXPENDITURES
In aggregate of all funds, operating expenditures to date have reached 60% of budgeted appropriations. This is exactly the same as the figure presented in April 2022. In the General Fund, realized expenditures are 66% (in comparison to 68% at this time last fiscal year), indicating that expenses patterns are relatively stable across fiscal periods.

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION ADOPTING PROGRAM
GUIDELINES FOR A BUSINESS START-UP GRANT PROGRAM
BACKGROUND
In the prior fiscal year, the Business Assistance Grant Program (“Business Grant”) utilized $415,000 of American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”) funds to provide $5,000 grants to 83 eligible La Puente businesses. As a result of this successful program, at the meeting of May 16, 2022, the City Council programmed an additional $400,000 for this program as part of the adopted Fiscal Year 2022-2023 annual budget. Of the $400,000 budgeted, the Business Grant has funded an additional 25 business grants thus far this fiscal year totaling $125,000. With a total of 108 business grants now funded through the Program, Staff has recognized the need to focus funds towards new businesses wishing to locate in the City, newly arrived businesses, or existing businesses wanting to stay in the City and relocate to another location.
Therefore, Staff is requesting City Council’s consideration and approval of a new business grant program that builds upon the success of the current program; but targets new business “start-ups” or relocations within the City. The new Business Start-up Grant Program (“Business Start-up Grant”) is intended to attract new businesses to the City as well as encourage existing businesses to relocate in the City to bigger or expanded facilities.
DISCUSSION
Staff has been working on preparing the Program Guidelines which sets forth the parameters of the program which are attached as Exhibit A to the Resolution. In developing the Program, Staff considered what other cities were offering their business community and found that a business development or start-up grant program is not very common in the area. With the knowledge and experience gained from implementing the Business Grant, Staff has designed a program that can be easily administered and delivered to assist new businesses who have recently arrived to the City or those wishing to open their doors in La Puente.
City of La Puente
AGENDA REPORT
Business Start-Up Grant Program
For Meeting of May 23, 2023
The City’s Business Start-up Grant will provide one-time grants of up to $10,000 to eligible La Puente start-up businesses with the intent to support the continued local economic recovery and build interest to do business in La Puente. The Business Start-up Grant will utilize $180,000 to fund up to 18 Business Start-up Grants. Approximately $25,000 from the original Business Grant remains available to assist La Puente businesses who have not yet been assisted through the program.
The Business Start-up Grant will assist qualified businesses with less than 20 employees to cover tenant or building upgrades and essential operating expenses such as rent, utilities, accounts payable, insurance costs, payroll costs, principal and interest on business start-up loans, etc.
Eligibility requirements will ensure that funds are distributed to businesses that serve the local population and that will benefit the local economy. For example, eligible businesses must have a “brick and mortar” location in a commercial zone of the City, must have a current business license (or in the process to obtain one), cannot be just a change of ownership, and cannot be older than one (1) year in business in the City. Application requirements will further ensure that eligible businesses intend on remaining in operation for a minimum of one (1) year from the date of receiving the grant. Upon application submittal, applicants will be required to provide signed grant agreement documents, which may also include additional documentation to demonstrate business viability and sustainability, such as a business plan and/or documentation related to receiving a commercial business loan from a financial institution.
The Business Start-up Grant program will be administered until all designated funds for the program have been exhausted. The Program will cease once all funds have been exhausted, but no later than one (1) year following the implementation of the Program.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Business Start-up Grant program will utilize $180,000 of available funds from the ARPA Special Revenue Fund Allocation.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 23-5800 approving the City’s Business Start-Up Grant Program.

4.6 Reimbursable Expenses
4.6.1 Transportation
Cost Comparison to Determine Mode of Transportation. In instances when the Traveler arranges for his/her own transportation and lodging, he/she shall research his/her travel options, and make the best effort to choose the least expensive mode of travel. Airlines, hotels, and rental car companies often make special rates available to state, federal, and local governments. These rates are presumed to be the most economical and reasonable rates for the purposes of this Policy. Those booking travel should consult available resources, such as www.dgs.ca.gov/travel, to determine the applicable government rates.
Air Travel. Air travel reservations shall be purchased at the most economical and reasonable fare consistent with the Traveler’s scheduling needs. Staff shall make every effort to book non-stop or one-stop flights.
Airfare that is equal or less than what is available through the State Travel Program offered through the State of California, (www.dgs.ca.gov/travel) is presumed to be the most economical and reasonable for purposes of reimbursement under this Policy. In the event that government rates are not available at a given time or for a specific flight, airfare that does not exceed the median retail price for flights listed on travel websites shall be considered reasonable. Only coach class travel is eligible for reimbursement, and any travel class upgrades, i.e., coach to business class, are not reimbursable. Fees for up to two (2) checked bags and one (1) carry-on item per flight are reimbursable.

The City will reimburse the Traveler at the then applicable standard annual Internal Revenue Service Mileage Rate. Travel shall be measured from the shorter of the member of the legislative CITY OF LA PUENTE SUBJECT:

The total reimbursement amount for vehicular travel shall not exceed the sum of round trip coach travel between a local airport and the destination point of official business, and the cost of roundtrip transportation to and from the respective airport.
Councilmembers are allowed a monthly car allowance. If a Councilmember accepts the allowance, then that member shall not be reimbursed for any personal vehicle use or be entitled to use a City vehicle, except when traveling a distance greater than 200 miles round trip or 100 miles one way, from City Hall. The City will reimburse the Councilmember at the then applicable standard annual Internal Revenue Service Mileage Rate, in accordance with the provisions of this Policy.
Car Rental Reimbursement. Car rental reimbursement is only allowed after traveling by air, train, or bus. Rental rates that are equal or less than those available through the State Travel Program
(www.dgs.ca.gov/travel) shall be considered the most economical and reasonable for purposes of reimbursement under this Policy. Vehicle fuel will only be reimbursed for the essential legs of the trips, as described in this Policy. Car rental insurance may be reimbursed at the lowest available rate.
Local Transportation. Every effort shall be made by Travelers to use the most practical mode of local transportation. The use of a taxi, bus, shuttle, or rail is only reimbursable for fares to and from places essential to the trip, such as hotels, conferences, airports, or railroad stations.
When meals are not included as part of the conference registration or event, travel to meals is reimbursable.
All local transportation expenses must be accompanied by an itemized receipt in order to be considered a reimbursable expense. Beginning and ending locations must be clearly stated on the Expense Reimbursement Form. Any gratuity (up to a 15% maximum) may be included when submitting for reimbursement.

b. The destination of the official business is more than 50 miles from City Hall or home (whichever is closer)
Reimbursement for lodging shall be limited to the number of days of the official business. Every effort shall be made by the Traveler to arrive on the first day of official business, but if the business begins earlier than 9:00 A.M. and arriving on the first day is not practical, then the Traveler may also be reimbursed for lodging one night prior to the start of the conference. If the business ends after 12 P.M., then the Traveler is allowed an additional night of lodging. Travelers shall not be reimbursed for lodging after the end of the conference.
If lodging is in connection with a conference, lodging expenses must not exceed the group rate published by the conference sponsor for the meeting in question, if such rates are available at the time of booking.
Every effort shall be made to reserve lodging prior to expiration of any discounted registration that may be available through the conference.
If the group rate is not available, City Staff/Travelers shall request government lodging rates. A listing of hotels offering government rates in different areas is available at www.govrooms.com. Lodging rates that are equal or less than government rates are presumed to be reasonable and hence reimbursable for purposes of this policy. In the event that government rates are not available at a given time or in a given area, lodging rates that do not exceed the median retail price for lodging for that area listed on hotel websites or an equivalent service shall be considered reasonable. Any additional nights a Traveler wishes to stay at or near the place of official business shall be paid solely by the Traveler, and are not reimbursable.
4.6.4 Incidental Expense Reimbursement
Travelers may only be reimbursed for actual and necessary incidental expenses incurred in connection with travel to official business, or other performance of essential duties.

AGENDA ITEM NO. E-3
To: Mayor and City Council For meeting of: May 23, 2023 From: Bob Lindsey, City Manager
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION REGARDING COUNCIL POLICY CC-2.1,
TRAVEL EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
At its September 27, 2016, City Council meeting, City Council adopted Resolution No. 16-15307 amending Council Policy CC-2.1, Travel Expense Reimbursement (“Policy”). Section 4.1 of the Policy establishes that each Council Member is allocated one-fifth (1/5) of the total appropriated amount each fiscal year to be used for travel, conferences, and meetings expenses. For the current fiscal year 2022- 2023, the conference and meeting line item for City Council is budgeted at $10,000, allocating $2,000 per Council Member per fiscal year.
City Staff have discovered that the funds allocated to each of the Council Members have not kept up with inflation and the amounts allocated only support approximately one conference with an overnight stay of at least three nights, per year. An adjustment of allocation is being recommended by staff and it is recommended that the City Council approve an amount commensurate with the number of conferences that would be sufficient or reasonable.
City Staff is requesting the City Council discuss and provide direction to Staff regarding travel for City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact for one conference, assuming a three-night overnight stay, would be approximately $1,675 which would include hotel, conference registration, and meals.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council discuss this item and provide any necessary direction to Staff.
