RESOLUTION NO. 23-33
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 23-14 RELATIVE TO
CERTAIN FEES AND POLICIES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE CITY OF LA VERNE
WHEREAS, the Municipal Code of the City of La Verne provides that certain filing fees, permit fees, inspection fees, deposits, and conditions of service may from time to time be established by the City Council;
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of La Verne has determined that the cost of providing certain services is not of general benefit but of benefit to the individual and, therefore, certain filing fees, permit fees, inspection fees and deposits should be required to pay for materials and special services performed by City staff;
WHEREAS, after the passage of Propositions 4 and 218, local governments were made to charge the costs of services to those who benefited;
WHEREAS, for certain services performed, the cost of providing said services greatly varies and is contingent upon the specifics of each project or application. The City Council finds it more appropriate to require an initial deposit to guarantee the applicant will reimburse the City for costs associated. If the costs exceed the deposit, the applicant shall be responsible for additional deposits or reimbursement necessary to offset cost. If the cost of service performed is less than the deposit, then the difference shall be refunded to the applicant;
WHEREAS, based upon fee justification reports on file with the Assistant City Clerk and the City Finance Division, the City Council finds that the fees included in this Resolution represent the actual costs of the services provided or facilities funded and, therefore, there is a rational relationship between the fees charged and the services and facilities provided;
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that since the fees represent the actual costs of the services or facilities provided, there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee charged and the costs of the services or facilities provided to the person paying the fee;
WHEREAS, after notifying those parties interested in fee revisions and publishing notice of a public hearing, the City Council held a public hearing on the proposed adoption of this Resolution on June 5, 2023.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: JR Ranells, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 111 9,
ESTABLISHING THAT REGULAR MEETING TIMES OF THE CITY
COUNCIL SHALL BE SET BY RESOLUTION
SUMMARY
Currently, La Verne Municipal Code provides that regular meetings of the City Council shall be held on the first and third Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. In order to provide better flexibili ty as well as convenience, the proposed ordinance authorizes the City Council to establish regular meeting times by resolution.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council should introduce by title only and waive further reading of Ordinance No. 1119, “AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE,
COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING THAT
REGULAR MEETING TIMES OF THE CITY COUNCIL SHALL BE SET BY RESOLUTION.”
DISCUSSION
Cities can either set their meeting times and dates through ordinance or resolution. Currently, La Verne is set by ordinance which can be more difficult to change without added costs and time constraints. By changing the ability to establish regular meeting times by resolution, the City can make a change in one meeting. This would be beneficial in the case of moving closed session or study session items formally to 5:30 p.m. without conflicting with the historical regular meeting start time of 6:30 p.m.
FISCAL IMPACT
The recommended action has no fiscal impact.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Not applicable.
LEGAL REVIEW
This report was reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.

Agenda Report
DATE: June 5, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Meg McWade, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Water Quality Resin Changeout – Amherst Water Treatment Plant
SUMMARY
This action will approve a sole source purchase agreement for resin replacement (Cal Res 2109) from Calgon Carbon in the amount of $152,688 . The media is necessary for the removal of perchlorate from drinking water.
RECOMMENDATION.
It is recommended that City Council authorize a sole source purchase from Calgon Carbon for Cal Res 2109 perchlorate media (resin) replacement at Amherst Treatment Plant, including the removal and incineration of spent media, in the amount of $152,688.
DISCUSSION
The City obtains up to 10% of its total water supply from the Live Oak Basin via five groundwater wells in the area. Water pumped from the basin must be treated due to elevated levels of nitrate and perchlorate found in the water. High levels of nitrate and perchlorate in drinking water are associated with health effects and must be reduced.
The Amherst Treatment Plant began operation in 2007 to reduce nitrate and perchlorate to levels under the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) as established by the California State Water Resources Control Boar d – Division of Drinking Water (SWRCB -DDW). The treatment plant employs an ion exchange treatment process for both nitrate and perchlorate. However, the ion exchange process requires different media, or resins, each specific to nitrate and perchlorate treatment to achieve the desired results. The resin for nitrates is regenerated during the treatment process but resin used for perchlorates cannot be regenerated. It must be incinerated and replaced once its load carrying capacity is reached.
Throughout the design process, several resins were evaluated from Calgon Carbon, Siemens, and Purolite Corporation. Calgon Carbon’s Cal Res 2109 was selected based on staff’s evaluation, engineering information, and testing input from other water agencies. The Cal Res 2109 is the only resin currently permitted for use in the Amherst Treatment Plant by the SWRCB- DDW. As a result, the sole source purchase from Calgon Carbon is recommended to enable continued water treatment at the Amherst Plant. This purchase in the amount of $152,688 will provide for replacement of 353 cubic feet of perchlorate treatment resin as well as the incineration of the replaced media.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The total amount required for this purchase is $152,688, including applicable sales tax. While the resin media replacement was not originally expected this year, there are available funds in the Water Fund within the Approved FY 22/23 Operating Budget Water Production for this purchase.

RE: 2109 Resin Quotation
Dear Mr. Martinez,
Thank you for considering and using our Calgon Carbon 2109 resin. We are happy to again provide you with Cal Res 2109, Our resin is made in the United States by our qualified resin manufacturers.
We are also pleased to inform you that we will be utilizing our Santa Fe Springs resin rinse station for your application. The SFS resin station rinses your resin in one batch with a minimum of 25 BV’s. Other resin suppliers rinse in smaller batches and or out of state, making it extremely difficult to load your resin with 24 hours after completing the rinse All rinsed resin will be loaded into your vessel within 24 hours after completing the rinse. Calgon Carbon also utilizes our own dedicated drinking water trailers for slurry loading.
Some of the other advantages of using our macrouporus resin and our services :
1 Lower pressure drop and higher flows than comparable gel resins. Due to the nature of the way these resin are made they have a significantly stronger backbone than the gel resins. Macroporous resins are designed with more cross linking than a comparable Gel resin. The additional cross linking and buffer / shock absorbing effect of the macropores resists compression, which can create higher pressure drops across the resin bed. Compression reduces the free space between the resin beads which can allow for more fine City Council Agenda Packet, Monday June 5, 2023

entrapment within the resin bed, again creating more pressure drop. Gel resins with micropores are susceptible for compression than macroporous resins, even with proper pre filtration.
2 Our resins are made to our specifications.
3 Our resin is made in the USA.
4 Our resin is available for immediate installation
5 Spent resin is approved for Covanta Crows Landing .
Pricing Summary:
353 ft3 of Cal Res 2109 resin pre rinsed and loaded $ 110,048.00 (taxable) Field Service and disposal $ 31,360.00
Applicable tax rate at time of shipment) $ TBD Total $ 141,408.00
Please feel free to call should there be any questions. We look forward to working with you on this project.

RE: 2109 Resin Sole Source Justification
Dear Mr. Martinez,
Thank you for considering and using our Calgon Carbon 2109 resin. We are happy to again provide you with Cal Res 2109 Macroporous Resin , Our resin is made in the United States and Calgon is the only supplier of microporous resins for perchlorate.
Some of the main and unique advantages of using our macroporous resin is:
1. Lower pressure drop and higher flows than comparable gel resins. Due to the nature of the way these resin are made they have a significantly stronger backbone than the gel resins. Macroporous resins are designed with more cross linking than a comparable Gel resin. The additional cross linking and buffer / shock absorbing effect of the macropores resists compression, which can create higher pressure drops across the resin bed. Compression reduces the free space between the resin beads which can allow for more fine entrapment within the resin bed, again creating more pressure drop. Gel resins with micropores are susceptible for compression than macroporous resins, even with proper pre filtration.
2. There is a greater degree of divinylbenzene cross-linking, as compared to a gel-type resin, which results in a bead with a higher crush strength, and similarly a greater resistance to oxidation.
3. 2109 can be disinfected with Chlorine should this be required, gel resins cannot.
Please feel free to call should there be any questions.
