Since 1996, when Haven Management partnered with the City in the purchase of the La Verne Mobile Country Club as part of the Sports Park construction bond, John has been a valued and trusted partner. Over the past 29 years, his leadership in managing the City-owned mobile home parks has been instrumental, and his insight and guidance on broader issues affecting La Verne have made a lasting impact. More than a business partner, John was a dear friend to many City employees, a kind, steady presence whose contributions extended well beyond contracts and meetings. In his memory and with gratitude for all he gave to this community, we will adjourn tonight’s meeting in his honor.

City Engineer Cody Howing reported on this item.
Public Comment: Virginia Beltran La Verne resident.
Council Agenda Packet - July 7, 2025
Minutes City Council 6/16/2025 Page 6
Council Discussion: Concerns were voiced at the outcome of the Zone 4-1 voting last year which did not pass, as the City is paying for the services to keep our medians, and the landscape lighting districts beautiful. If there isn’t enough money, services will have to be cut back which means that ultimately the landscape medians and lighting would not look as nice as residents and visitors would expect. The idea of lending monies from one maintenance district to another was discussed, and the likelihood that the monies could eventually be paid back to the maintenance district that did approve paying the maintenance fees.
The rule change with Prop 218 is how we’ve gotten to this type of position where we can’t increase the assessments without the voters’ approval.
All were in agreement that those districts that are funded should not be making up for the districts that opted not to fund the maintenance. Going forward the process of educating the residents needs to start as soon as possible, with regard to the Prop 218 process and what that outcome means. Residents can view the information on the City website for all of the landscaping and lighting maintenance districts.
It was moved by Kashifalghita, seconded by Crosby, and approved by a vote of 5-0.

Recommendation: That City Council adopt the attached Resolution, providing for the annual levy for Fiscal Year 2025-2026.
City Engineer Cody Howing reported on this item.
Public Comment: Virginia Beltran La Verne resident.

Agenda Report
DATE: July 7, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Cody Howing, City Engineer
SUBJECT: DEED RESTRICTIONS - STATE PARKS GENERAL PER CAPITA PROGRAM & LOS ANGELES COUNTY PROPOSITION A GRANTS; LAS FLORES PARK IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.
SUMMARY
The City of La Verne has received grant funds from former Assembly Member Chris Holden’s Park Improvement fund, allocated through the State’s General Per Capita Program, in addition to Los Angeles County Proposition A (Safe Neighborhood Parks Act), for Las Flores Park. As a component of those grant funds, the City is required to record a deed restriction for each of the grant fund sources applied to the projects on the park property.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the deed restrictions for each Grant funding source and record them with the County of Los Angeles Recorders Office.
DISCUSSION
Recently completed projects located at Las Flores Park have used grant funds originating from the State of California Per Capita Program and the County of Los Angeles Proposition A, Safe Neighborhood Parks Act. These grant funds, along with other funding sources, have allowed for improvements to the park facilities, which include the tennis and pickle ball courts, Aquatic Center, construction of the new south playground equipment and adjacent modular restroom building. Due to the varied scope of work required for each of the improvements, separate construction contracts have been established according to suitable specialties and construction contractor license types.
A component of both the grant funding sources includes implementation of deed restrictions that are to be recorded with the County of Los Angeles. The purpose of the deed restrictions are to ensure that the grant funds are used for the Las Flores Park improvements in accordance with the grant terms. This ensures that the applicable improvements remain open for access by the public and that those improvements are preserved in place for the duration of the applicable grant-term obligations.
Pursuant to the respective grant requirements, the deed restriction process is to be completed prior to the finalization of the project. While many of the grant-funded improvements have been completed, the recently opened modular restroom project is in the close-out process, and marks the final feature of the recent work conducted on the site.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Council Agenda Packet - July 7, 2025
Deed Restrictions - State Parks General Per Capita Program & Los Angeles County Proposition A Grants; Las Flores Park Improvement Projects. , Page 2
The funds associated with the State’s General Per Capita Program and the Los Angeles County Proposition A (Safe Neighborhood Parks Act) funds have been appropriated under prior action of the City Council relative to each applicable project on the site. Execution of the deed restrictions for the two grant funding sources will not result in expenditure of funds.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
This project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15301 Existing Facilities, and City of La Verne environmental guidelines.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved this report.

Agenda Report
DATE: July 7, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sam Gonzalez, Police Chief
SUBJECT: CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL CANNABIS TAX FUND GRANT PROGRAM AWARD.
SUMMARY
The La Verne Police Department was awarded $150,900 in grant funding through the FY 25/26 California Highway Patrol (CHP) Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program. The grant requires a resolution of the City Council authorizing the acceptance of grant funding.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt a Resolution entitled, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL,
CITY OF LA VERNE, CALIFORNIA, ACCEPTING FUNDS AND AGREEING TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE FY25/26 CANNABIS TAX FUND GRANT PROGRAM."
DISCUSSION
The CHP works closely with state and local agencies and other traffic safety stakeholders to actively address impaired driving. The CHP Cannabis Tax Fund Grant program was established through the passage of Proposition 64 in 2016, which mandated the state to set aside funding to provide grants to local government and non-profit organizations for the education, prevention, and enforcement of laws related to driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs, including cannabis.
The La Verne Police Department has been allocated $150,900 to reduce impaired driving in the City. These funds will be used to purchase a new DUI van which would allow the LVPD to test, process, and book impaired drivers while conducting DUI checkpoints while ensuring the officers maintain a safe work environment. Additionally, funds would be used for 18 officers to partake in DUI training through Standard Field Sobriety Testing (SFST), Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE), and Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) programs. Finally, funds will be used to conduct community outreach at the City's car show events to inform the community about the risks of impaired driving and importance of identifying designated drivers.
The grant performance period is from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
An appropriation of $150,900, along with corresponding revenue, will need to be added to the Fiscal Year 2025–26 Adopted Budget within the Miscellaneous Grants Fund (Fund 299). There will be no impact to the General Fund.

Schedule A
La Verne Police Department
All grant awards, including any adjustments to requested funding, were made by the Cannabis Grants Unit based on the merits of the Grant Application, scale of operation, and in accordance with the Request for Application (RFA) requirements and associated regulations. As a result, not all Project activities and items detailed in Schedule A are applicable. Refer to Schedule B - Detailed Budget Estimate for approved Budget line items and Project activities. Project activities and items that are not clearly identified/specified in the Grant Agreement must be submitted to and approved by CGU prior to purchase.
Project Description
The La Verne Police Department (LVPD) strives to eliminate all instances of Driving Under the Influence (DUI) and Driving Under the Influence of Drugs (DUID) in the City of La Verne. To this end, LVPD is requesting $150,900 in CHP grant funds to conduct a three-pronged project: acquiring a new DUI enforcement van, facilitating the training of 18 officers across three programs, and conducting two tailored public outreach events. The new van purchase would allow the Police Department to test, process, and book impaired drivers at checkpoints as well as provide officers with a lavatory, weapons storage, and safe work environment. Public outreach events will serve to inform the public of both the Department’s ongoing DUI enforcement efforts and important information regarding the dangers of impaired driving. Finally, training costs will directly improve LVPD’s abilities to address DUI/DUID in the City and enhance the effectiveness of the Department’s DUI/DUID checkpoints.
Problem Statement & Proposed Solution
Between 2022 to 2024, the La Verne Police Department (LVPD) responded to 563 traffic collisions, which resulted in 324 injuries and 4 fatalities. Alcohol and drug-impaired driving continues to be a significant primary collision factor, producing 28 of these injuries and one of the fatalities. Due to budget restraints, the La Verne Police Department has had to decrease traffic personnel to fill patrol positions. While patrol officers have actively enforced traffic laws, their efforts are not meeting the needs of the La Verne community. Impaired driving crashes not only endanger the lives of drivers, but also put passengers, pedestrians, and other road users at significant risk. The number of individuals injured as a result of impaired driving crashes outpaced the number of crashes themselves, emphasizing the outsized impact these crashes have on the La Verne community. Thus, the La Verne Police Department proposes three-pronged approach to deter and decrease impaired driving, protect residents and visitors, and improve overall traffic safety in the City.
The first major project activity would be acquiring a new vehicle ($90,000 of the total request budget) to use for checkpoint operations. Until recently, the van LVPD utilized for DUI operations was originally configured exclusively for jail transport purposes. However, this 2001 Ford transport van was pulled from service for unreconcilable repairs due to the age of the vehicle. Without a van, LVPD has lost the ability to process bookings effectively for DUI checkpoints, test, and create a safe working environment for officers as the van provides a lavatory and secure weapons storage. Acquiring a new vehicle would ensure effective procedure of large DUI operations, especially when collaborating with other agencies. Most crucially, this van would serve as a mobile DUI processing unit. In 2024 alone, the Police Department conducted four DUI checkpoints that saw over 3,000 unique vehicles drive through and led to six arrests. A new van would reduce the time officers spend processing at checkpoints, allowing for a higher number of tests, more potential arrests per operation, and enhanced efficiency across the board. While essential to conduct DUI/DUID operations, this vehicle would also be used for saturation patrols, educational programs, and attending off-site trainings and professional development events. This acquisition neatly dovetails with the proposed public outreach activities and would be showcased at National Night Out and Public Safety Open Houses.
Council Agenda Packet - July 7, 2025
Schedule A
Public education and prevention is the next proposed project activity, comprising $3,312 of the total request budget. LVPD will conduct two tailored public outreach events across the course of the grant period, focused on educating the public on both roadway safety related to impaired driving as well as the Department’s ongoing DUI/DUID enforcement strategies. The two education events will be held at La Verne’s Cool Cruise Car Show, a high-visibility and heavily trafficked event that draws residents and visitors. Three officers will attend each occurrence to showcase the new vehicle, discuss the importance of sober designated drivers, and relay the risks of impaired driving; reminding the public that impaired driving is not exclusively related to alcohol, but also includes some prescription and over-the-counter drugs as well as driving under the influence of marijuana. LVPD will also leverage their relationship with the community group Mothers Against Drunk Driving to distribute flyers and other physical information at these events.
Supplementing these activities and the Department’s DUI/DUID strategy generally, the third project activity will be facilitating further training for 18 officers across three distinct programs. $57,588 of the proposed budget will cover travel, lodging, and course fees for 12 officers to attend ARIDE training, 4 officers to attend SFST training, and 2 officers to attend DRE training. These training programs will enhance LVPD’s ability to respond effectively to impaired driving and allow trained officers to share their experiences, skills, and knowledge with the entire Department.
With CHP grant funds, the La Verne Police Department will be able to acquire a new DUI enforcement van, educate the public to prevent impaired driving, and train officers to enhance DUI/DUID enforcement in the City. In combination, these three activities will deter potential impaired drivers, identify new and repeat offenders, and – most importantly - protect lives.
Performance Measures/Scope of Work
1 Van Acquisition (Q1 = Purchase, Q2 = Receive, Q2-4 = Use of van at checkpoints, LVPD-funded maintenance): Facilitate all DUI checkpoints conducted by LVPD; Process 10% more vehicles per checkpoint as compared to the previous years’ average.
2 Public Outreach Events at La Verne’s Cool Cruise Car Shows (Q2 = 1, Q4 = 1): Three LVPD officers will attend each event to discuss the importance of sober designated drivers, relay the risks of impaired driving, and remind the public that impaired driving is not exclusively related to alcohol, but also includes some prescription and over-the-counter drugs as well as driving under the influence of marijuana; LVPD will partner with Mothers Against Drunk Driving for informational materials (flyers, online resources, etc.) that present the risks of DUI/DUID and impacts DUI/DUID accidents have on the community; show the newly acquired vehicle to at least 60% of attendees.
3 Training Programs (Q2 = DRE, Q3 = SFST, Q4 = ARIDE): Train 2 officers through DRE, train 4 officers through SFST, train 12 officers through ARIDE. Aim to reduce DUI/DUID incidents by 5% and increase DUI/DUID arrests by 5%, which will improve roadway safety in the community and indicate improved officer detection and enforcement capabilities as a result of enhanced training.
Project Performance Evaluation
The La Verne Police Department (LVPD) continuously conducts rigorous performance evaluations of its ongoing enforcement strategies. These strategies would be incorporated into any awarded grant in order to measure the effectiveness and positive impacts of CHP-funded project activities. The new van at all LVPD DUI/DUID checkpoints will help facilitate detailed tracking of key performance metrics, including citations issued, arrests, sobriety tests, and general information regarding how many vehicles passed through. These metrics will be collected at each checkpoint, compared between checkpoints, and be published internally. The metrics will be used to better inform both the location and operation procedures of future checkpoints. The success of expanded SFST, DRE, and ARIDE trainings will be measured both directly and indirectly. Directly, success will be gauged through post-training evaluations, officer self-assessments, and supervisory reviews indicating improved confidence and accuracy in identifying impairment. Quantitatively, the goal is a 5% increase in DUI and DUID arrests, reflecting more effective detection due to enhanced training. Indirectly, success will also be reflected in a 5% reduction in DUI and DUID-related crashes and incidents, demonstrating improved public safety outcomes.
Council Agenda Packet - July 7, 2025
Schedule A
Externally, project results will be shared publicly with La Verne residents to demonstrate the Police Department’s commitment to DUI/DUID enforcement and to inform roadway users of the harms of impaired driving. The public education component of this project will serve as an important, visible platform for LVPD personnel to show the community the new van, explain its use in DUI/DUID enforcement, and share anonymized trend metrics collected from checkpoints. Prior to conducting DUI checkpoints, the Police Department will publish its intention to do so and leave the location undisclosed. This serves to engage the community by informing residents of the Police Department’s efforts to address impaired driving in the City.
These prior notifications also serve the dual purpose of preventing impaired driving through deterrence and education. These notices will include information about impaired driving, reminding the public that impaired driving is not exclusively related to alcohol, but also includes some prescription and over-the-counter drugs as well as driving under the influence of marijuana. Once a DUI checkpoint has been completed, LVPD will publicize the results including how many arrests were made for impaired driving. These notices will be published on the Police Department’s website as well as social media channels, such as the LVPD Facebook page. These public forums allow community members to comment, offer feedback, or show support for LVPD’s operations.
Program Sustainability
The La Verne Police Department is requesting $150,900.00 in CHP Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program funds as a catalyst for a long-term, self-sustaining DUI enforcement effort. The proposed vehicle acquisition is a one-time cost that the Police Department needs state assistance to procure. With the previous van being decommissioned due to its age, the need for a new van is urgent and necessary. Without a van currently, LVPD is unable to conduct large-scale DUI enforcement efforts such as checkpoints. If a van is acquired through this grant program, its usefulness would last long past the grant period and allow for prolonged enforcement of the proposed initiative. The van would allow the Police Department to conduct DUI checkpoints through the course of the grant period and then continue to administer checkpoints after the grant period has concluded.
The City of La Verne also allocates (and will continue to allocate) maintenance funds to the Police Department through the Public Works Department’s fleet maintenance fund. This ongoing, budgeted fund will cover all essential maintenance of the van throughout it’s usable life span, ensuring the longevity of the vehicle once acquired. Additionally, the City of La Verne is currently assessing the rate for a Development Impact Fee with the intent to include a fee for necessary public safety enforcement that increases with new developments and increased populations. While the fees accrued are not enough to cover the cost of purchasing a new fleet, it will provide funding to help cover the cost of maintaining essential equipment and fleet, including this new DUI van.
The proposed training costs similarly contribute to the sustainability of LVPD’s DUI/DUID enforcement efforts.
A one-time cost, these trainings will benefit not only the trained officers, but their newly gained knowledge will be shared with other Department personnel. These learned skills will last far beyond the conclusion of the grant period, helping to tailor LVPD’s impaired driving prevention and response strategy for years to come.
Administrative Support
The La Verne Police Department (LVPD) has the necessary qualifications and experience to successfully administer the proposed activities. The Police Department has successfully applied for and implemented a number of grant programs, including previous cycles of the OTS program and Cannabis Tax Fund program.
Throughout previous grant cycles, the City and LVPD successfully administered the grant funds, achieved the desired goals, and correctly followed all reporting and project closeout requirements. The La Verne Finance Department staff (led by Finance Director Christy Lopez) has vast experience with the fiscal compliance and reporting requirements of various grants for over a decade, consistently providing the necessary claim information that is required for this type of grant.
The La Verne Police Department currently consists of 40 sworn officers, 18 professional staff members, a reserve force of 25 officers, and a 35-member Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol program. LVPD has adequate staffing levels to complete the requested activities but requires additional funding support to fully compensate the personnel operating the six proposed checkpoints. With the requested funding, the LVPD’s staffing levels will be adequate to complete all proposed activities.

Travel
ARIDE Training - Attend Travel
$4,800.00
In order to ensure officers are fully and properly trained, this item would facilitate 12 Officers attending an ARIDE training program. Each Officer will require lodging – budgeted at the City’s travel rate of $300/night – and travel costs (including meals and mileage reimbursement), conservatively budgeted for $100/person per day. 12 officers will attend ARIDE training, which requires only one overnight stay. That amounts to $300 per night per officer for 12 Officers for a request of $3,600. Travel and meals budgeted at $100/person for 12 Officers equates to $1,200. Thus, ARIDE training has a total sub-request of $4,800.
SFST Training - Attend Travel
$1,600.00
In order to ensure officers are fully and properly trained, this item would facilitate 4 Officers attending an SFST training program. Each Officer will require lodging – budgeted at the City’s travel rate of $300/night – and travel costs (including meals and mileage reimbursement), conservatively budgeted for $100/person per day. 4 Officers will attend SFST training, also requiring a one night stay. This amounts to $300 per night per Officer for 4 Officers for a request of $1,200. Travel and meals budgeted at $100/person for 4 Officers equates to $400. Thus, SFST training has a total sub-request of $1,600.
DRE Training - Attend Travel
$3,900.00
In order to ensure officers are fully and properly trained, this item would facilitate 2 Officers attending an DRE training program. Each Officer will require lodging – budgeted at the City’s travel rate of $300/night – and travel costs (including meals and mileage reimbursement), conservatively budgeted for $100/person per day. 2 Officers will attend DRE training, which requires five nights at a hotel. At the same $300 rate per night ($1,500 per Officer in total), the DRE hotel request amounts to $3,000. Travel and meals budgeted at $450/person for 2 Officers equates to $900. Thus, DRE training has a total sub-request of $3,900.
Equipment
DUI/DUID Enforcement Van
$75,000.00
1 DUI/DUID Enforcement Van = $75,000
The highest item cost in the proposed budget is the La Verne Police Department’s request for vehicle acquisition costs. To inform the request amount, LVPD has solicited quotes from a host of vendors to procure competitive pricing for this application. The request amount of is inclusive of the acquisition cost and all associated taxes and fees. $75,000 of the request is for the purchase of a van to be used for DUI/DUID enforcement as well as saturation patrols, officer transportation, testing, booking, and other general Department needs.

Agenda Report
DATE: July 7, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: JR Ranells, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: APPROVING A CLASS SPECIFICATION FOR MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR.
SUMMARY
After undergoing City Council approved staffing changes in the Public Works Department, the Maintenance Supervisor job classification is being updated to accurately reflect current duties and responsibilities as well as add fleet division responsibilities.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve the attached class specification for Maintenance Supervisor.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Department has undergone a series of organizational and operational changes such as adding a Deputy Public Works Director position. As a direct result of this organizational efficiency, the previous Fleet Manager duties will now be filled at a supervisor- level position. The Public Works Department currently has a Maintenance Supervisor classification that oversees streets, facilities, and parks maintenance activities.
The proposed action and City Council approval formally updates the Maintenance Supervisor classification to include fleet supervision activities per the City’s Personnel Rules.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
There are no direct costs relative to the Maintenance Supervisor classification updates as this anticipated action was included with the Fiscal Year 25/26 Budget adoption and ultimately reduces overall costs in the fleet division.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.

SUBJECT: METRO A-LINE (FORMERLY GOLD LINE) TRANSIT ORIENTED
DEVELOPMENT BRIDGE, EASEMENT AGREEMENT EXECUTION
AUTHORITY.
SUMMARY
The proposed pedestrian bridge crossing over Arrow Highway providing a connection between the La Verne A-Line Station and the Fairplex Campus will require easements for the portion of the facilities that land on the adjoining properties. Discussions with both Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority, Metro and Fairplex staff have been ongoing and are expected to be finalized soon. Agreements to execute said easements will be required prior to the recording of the documents to comply with the grant funding requirements.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into binding agreements to accept easements from Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority, Metro, and Fairplex or other title landholders related to or directly involved in the ultimate construction of the Metro A Line Transit Oriented Development Bridge project.
DISCUSSION
The design phase of the pedestrian bridge project, which will provide a connection between the Metro A-Line (Gold Line) Station and Fairplex campus is nearing completion. The process has been ongoing for several years, during which coordination with the adjoining properties that the bridge will provide connection to have been involved. These coordination efforts have included meetings with agency stakeholders for both ends of the bridge at the earliest stage of the design process. The ongoing coordination meetings and dialog helped to ensure that features of the bridge concept align with the needs of each site it provides connection to.
Throughout the pedestrian bridge design process, bridge columns, footings, utilities and other related infrastructure items have been carefully integrated on each site to provide the intended function for future users of the bridge while minimizing impact to the adjoining sites were feasible. Final easement boundaries have been established as a result of the ongoing coordination work, and the design team and property owners are working towards the execution of final easement documents in the coming months.
To maintain compliance with performance measures for funding obtained by the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG), legally binding agreements are anticipated to be necessary as interim measures in the process towards final easements and ultimate recording of said documents. These agreements, while binding, are intended to address the concept that
Council Agenda Packet - July 7, 2025
Metro A-Line (formerly Gold Line) Transit Oriented Development Bridge, Easement Agreement Execution Authority., Page 2
easements will be granted from the property owners to the City. Final easements, including the details of the easement obligations for each party, will be brought to the City Council for consideration and acceptance prior to recording.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
This action will not result in any expenditure of funds. Each of the easements identified as required for the bridge will involve the adjoining property owners to grant those rights the City for the purpose of the bridge and it's construction.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
This action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), as it is an administrative activity of government that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Therefore, no further environmental review is required.

Agenda Report
DATE: July 7, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: JR Ranells, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: CITY OF LA VERNE 2025 STRATEGIC PLAN.
SUMMARY
On Saturday, May 17, 2025, the City hosted a Strategic Planning Session that brought together City Council Members, executive staff, employee representatives, and community members.
This inclusive, collaborative workshop served as a forum for meaningful dialogue about the City's mission, current state, and future direction.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:
1. Approve the attached Strategic Plan Meeting Notes from May 17, 2025; and
2. Adopt the Strategic Priorities identified during the Strategic Planning Session; and
3. Adopt an updated Mission Statement.
DISCUSSION
Strategic Planning is a collaborative process used by organizations, including local governments, to define their direction and priorities, allocate resources effectively, and align internal and external stakeholders around a shared strategy. It provides a structured framework to assess current conditions, anticipate future needs, and set actionable goals to guide long- term decision-making. The City of La Verne's last Strategic Planning Session held in 2017 focused on pressing fiscal issues resulting in significant efforts such as a pension obligation bond and consideration of initiating the Measure LV sales tax.
On Saturday, May 17, 2025, the City of La Verne held a Strategic Planning Session facilitated by an outside consultant, Rachelle Arizmendi. This session included participation from the City Council, City Staff, employee representatives, and members of the community. Additionally, the recent Community Survey results were incorporated into the event and reviewed as part of the day's activities. Ultimately, the session provided an opportunity to reflect on current operations, discuss challenges and opportunities, and develop shared priorities that will guide the City’s future efforts.
Through guided discussions and breakout groups, participants identified strategic priorities to focus organizational energy and resources over the next several years. In addition to these
Council Agenda Packet - July 7, 2025
City of La Verne 2025 Strategic Plan. , Page 2
priorities, the session identified possible language for an updated mission statement. A sub- committee composed of Mayor Tim Hepburn and Council Member Wendy Lau worked on finalizing an updated Mission Statement that reflects La Verne’s values and aspirations, with an emphasis on financial sustainability, innovation, inclusiveness, and employee appreciation.
Mission Statement
Tasked with refining the City's Mission Statement, Mayor Tim Hepburn and Council Member Wendy Lau have provided the revised draft below for the full City Council’s consideration:
“The City of La Verne strives to maintain a full range of efficient municipal services while promoting financial sustainability and adaptability. The City is driven by our strong history of community, inclusiveness, and innovation with an appreciation of City employees at the core of our service delivery.”
Strategic Priorities
Strategic priorities identified at the session are presented below with greater detail provided as an attachment to this report. Part of the recommendation is for the City Council to formally adopt these priorities to guide future planning, resource allocation, and performance measurement.
1. Financial Stability/Structurally Balanced Budget - ensuring the City lives within its means by aligning ongoing revenues with ongoing expenditures. This involves responsible budgeting, building adequate reserves, managing long-term obligations, and making fiscally sound decisions that promote financial health now and in the future. A structurally balanced budget avoids reliance on one-time funding for ongoing services and supports sustainable service delivery.
2. Stakeholder Engagement - actively involving residents, businesses, community organizations, City employees, and other key partners in shaping City decisions. This means creating accessible, inclusive opportunities for input and dialogue, fostering transparency, and building trust between the City, employees, and its community.
Engagement can take the form of surveys, public forums, advisory committees, digital platforms, and more.
3. Adaptive Public Safety - maintaining a responsive, flexible approach to public services— including police, fire, public works and overall emergency response that evolves with the community's changing needs. This includes using data to inform decisions, investing in training and equipment, collaborating with other agencies, and embracing innovative practices to protect lives, property, and quality of life.
4. Resilient Infrastructure - investing in and maintaining the City’s physical assets such as streets, water systems, sewers, public buildings, and parks. Ensuring the City can withstand aging facilities, emergencies including natural disasters, environmental challenges, and future growth. Resilient infrastructure supports reliable service delivery, enhances public safety, and reduces long-term maintenance and repair costs through proactive planning and sustainable practices.
Council Agenda Packet - July 7, 2025
City of La Verne 2025 Strategic Plan. , Page 3
The outcomes of this session represent a shared vision for La Verne’s future and form the foundation for long-term decision-making and accountability. This first Strategic Planning Session will begin an annual process to ensure the shared vision continues to be discussed and adapt according to the City Council's direction. The City Council is now being asked to adopt both the updated Mission Statement and the Strategic Priorities developed during this recent process.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Adoption of the updated Mission Statement and Strategic Priorities by the City Council does not have a direct fiscal impact. Implementation of these strategic elements will guide future decision-making, but any associated costs will be subject to City Council review and approval through the annual budget process or as individual initiatives are brought forward for consideration.

Council Agenda Packet - July 7, 2025
City of La Verne,City Council
Agenda Report
DATE: July 7, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Ken Domer, City Manager
SUBJECT: CITY OF LA VERNE SPHERE OF INFLUENCE AND ANNEXATION DISCUSSION.
SUMMARY
The City is exploring the potential annexation of unincorporated areas within its "Sphere of Influence" to improve service delivery and enhance local representation. City staff are seeking direction from the City Council regarding potential annexation strategies and priorities.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council provide City staff direction regarding the annexation of unincorporated areas into the City of La Verne, to include conducting education and community engagement efforts.
DISCUSSION
Sphere of Influence
While every city has its clearly identified jurisdictional boundaries, cities also tend to have a Sphere of Influence (SOI) boundary as well. A SOI, developed by the county’s Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), identifies the boundaries of a city’s service area. This not only includes all residents within the City of La Verne’s jurisdiction but also unincorporated areas in and adjacent to La Verne. A SOI serves as the guiding reference point for when a city plans to annex territories into the City’s jurisdiction.
Los Angeles County LAFCO has reviewed La Verne’s SOI over the decades, with the last review in 2012. Recently, LAFCO approved a process to review and update the City’s SOI, along with those of San Dimas and Claremont. The most current SOI map, which is attached to this agenda report, identifies a few areas that are eligible to be annexed into the City of La Verne and those that may be better served by the City versus other cities.
Unincorporated Areas of La Verne
There are over 300 homes within unincorporated areas of La Verne that are considered to be part of Los Angeles County. These are found in three main areas:
1. Western La Verne: Gladstone Avenue and Ramona Avenue Community
2. Eastern La Verne: Baseline Avenue and Rodeo Lane; Roughrider Road and Broken Spur Road; Brassie Lane Road; Stephen’s Ranch Road
Council Agenda Packet - July 7, 2025
City of La Verne Sphere of Influence and Annexation Discussion. , Page 2
3. Northeast La Verne: Stephen’s Ranch Road
If ultimately annexed after the required public process, these areas would receive services provided directly through La Verne instead of LA County. Annexed residents would receive faster response times and more direct services as La Verne serves a smaller population than LA County. For example, a resident in the unincorporated area needs to travel to the nearest County facility in Arcadia. Additionally, annexation into La Verne allows for residents to gain greater representation in local government compared to the LA County’s Board of Supervisors, who represent about 1 million residents across 2,000 square miles.
While the goal is to annex most unincorporated areas into La Verne, the City would prioritize certain areas that have already shown interest in annexation, including the area near Brassie Lane/Clayton Court. When conducting an annexation, a city does not have to annex all unincorporated areas at the same time. The City is able to identify certain areas for annexation as long as an “island” of unincorporated land is not created within land enclosed by La Verne’s jurisdiction.
Annexation Process
Generally, the process to annex unincorporated areas into the City is a detailed process following State law and requiring multiple presentations before the City Council. In some instances, the City Council would need to adopt a resolution requesting LAFCO to initiate proceedings. An application would be submitted to LAFCO followed by public hearings from both Planning Commission and the City Council. During this process, and depending on the size of the to be annexed area, an election would be held to confirm community support for the annexation. One of the final steps is to adopt a joint Tax Transfer Resolution between LA County and the City of La Verne to set forth the division of property tax going forward. This process can take many months and in some cases over a year to be complete.
Community Outreach
Before going through this process, the City first plans to conduct community outreach to determine the interest of the community in annexation. As part of the outreach strategy, a mailer would be sent to homes in unincorporated areas of La Verne explaining the benefits of annexation and a link to a short survey they can complete. This survey would determine if residents would be interested or have concerns that prohibit their interest in annexation.
Additionally, the City would conduct a virtual town hall meeting to inform residents further about annexation and answer any questions and concerns. A webpage on annexation has been created on the City website as a resource for residents. It includes a general overview of annexation, the process, frequently asked questions, and other useful documents.
Annexation Potential Impacts
As the City evaluates the potential annexation of unincorporated areas into La Verne, it is important to acknowledge and proactively address concerns that may arise during this process.
While the full range of impacts would be further assessed by LAFCO during their in-depth analysis, which accounts for each area's unique conditions, the following outlines key
Council Agenda Packet - July 7, 2025
City of La Verne Sphere of Influence and Annexation Discussion. , Page 3
preliminary concerns and proposed strategies for mitigation.
Demand of City Services
One of the primary concerns with annexation is the potential increase in demand for municipal services such as police, fire, and maintenance. However, it is important to note that LAFCO only includes areas within a City’s SOI if it determines the City can reasonably provide these services. Upon annexation, the City would begin receiving additional property tax revenue from these areas, which helps to offset the cost of providing core municipal services.
The majority of the proposed annexation areas are residential, with limited or none, commercial or institutional uses. Notable exceptions include the Leroy Haynes Center and the Marshall Canyon Golf Course. No parks or major public facilities are located within the proposed areas, minimizing the likelihood of significant infrastructure or operational cost increases. The northern unincorporated region near Stephen’s Ranch Road and Brassie Lane may present higher service demands due to its location within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone.
If specific areas, such as the northern parcels, pose disproportionate challenges or financial strain, the City has the option to pursue a phased annexation strategy or focus on annexing only certain areas of La Verne. This would allow La Verne to focus initially on more feasible areas, such as those along Baseline Avenue and Gladstone Avenue, and consider other regions at a later stage once additional analysis or funding mechanisms are in place.
The primary benefit of annexing is that residents will be served by the City versus the County of Los Angeles. Emergency services including police and fire will be provided directly through the City. This will lead to faster response times during emergencies. Currently, the La Verne Police Department may be first on scene of a law enforcement response, but they will hand off the situation to a responding Sheriff's Deputy for investigations, reports, and other matters. La Verne Fire Department is also likely to be a current first responder, however, La Verne residents are benefitted by Measure GG which helps reduce the costs of ambulance transport, if needed.
Neighborhood services including trash collection, street maintenance, etc. will be changed to the City’s own providers. The City provides refuse and recycling services through Waste Management Inc. La Verne’s Street Maintenance Division is responsible for general maintenance of sidewalks, curbs, gutters, streets, traffic signs, and signals. Code Enforcement will transfer to the City and is reactive as a complaint-based service.
Importantly, Building and Planning services will be conducted by the City. This means that property owners can travel to La Verne City Hall or submit for a permit online versus having to travel to the nearest County office in Arcadia. Finally, most County residents with a La Verne address don't realize they are County residents. Annexation into the City completes the City and makes the community whole.
RHNA Allocation Changes
As annexation would increase the population of the City of La Verne, there is a potential that the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) could be adjusted to reflect this change.
However, RHNA adjustments are subject to the planning assumptions and policies outlined in
Council Agenda Packet - July 7, 2025
City of La Verne Sphere of Influence and Annexation Discussion. , Page 4
the Los Angeles County Housing Element.
Currently, no areas within unincorporated La Verne have been identified by Los Angeles County as sites for rezoning to accommodate additional housing to meet the County’s RHNA obligations. Furthermore, the County’s Housing Element does not identify any proposed housing developments or projects within these areas. The land in question is largely zoned for single-family residential, light agricultural, or open space uses, limiting its relevance to regional housing production targets.
Given these factors, the likelihood of a significant RHNA adjustment resulting from annexation is low.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
This item has no fiscal impact, but it is important to identify the costs of annexing unincorporated areas. Per LAFCO’s fee schedule, the cost of annexation per area over 100 acres would cost the following:
Change of Organization Fee $14,000
Sphere of Influence
Amendment
$7,000
LA County Assessor Fees $1,500
State Board of Equalization
Fees
$2,000
Total $24,500
It is important to note that the rates above do not reflect that LAFCO will be increasing their fee schedule in the coming years. Some additional costs would be required for the preparation to update mapping and conducting community outreach, which should be about $3,000 to $5,000. If the City were to move forward with annexation of an area, an appropriation of funds would be brought to the City Council for consideration as part of the intal process.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The annexation of unincorporated areas of La Verne is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15319.
LEGAL REVIEW
This report has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.

Council Agenda Packet - July 7, 2025
City of La Verne,City Council
Agenda Report
DATE: July 7, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Ken Domer, City Manager
SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL COMMUNITY FORUM PROPOSAL
SUMMARY
The City is proposing a new Community Forum program to enhance two-way dialogue between residents, City Council, and staff, aligning with the City’s Strategic Plan goals for civic engagement and transparency. These forums will rotate across community locations and include both in-person and virtual options to ensure broad participation and meaningful input.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council provide direction to City staff regarding the proposed City Council Community Forum Program.
DISCUSSION
How We Currently Engage with the Community
Currently, the City engages with the community in a variety of ways including social media, community events, newsletters, the City website, the Recreation Guide, community mailers, Council and Committee meetings, Study Sessions, etc. These avenues provide updates to the community on City business, City resources of which residents can take advantage, regional news, and more. Social media and Council and Committee meetings provide a way for residents to comment on City news and bring concerns to the City Council and City staff's attention.
Additionally, residents are encouraged to call the City and City Council Members to have further dialogue on City business. While these avenues are effective at reaching certain segments of the community, the City has been looking at different avenues to further engage with residents and provide them with the opportunity to have a two-way dialogue regarding City issues within the requirements of the Ralph M. Brown Act (Government Code Sections 54950 - 54963).
City Council Community Forums
The proposed City Council Community Forum program is aligned with the City’s Strategic Plan priorities, specifically in the areas of civic engagement, transparency, and enhancing resident trust in government. These forums are intended to offer residents a more informal and welcoming environment to interact directly with members of City Council and staff, receive timely updates, and provide valuable input on City operations and community priorities, while remaining compliant with the Brown Act. The topics of these forums will be modified to reflect community groups where the forum will be hosted while also covering general City news.
To maximize community engagement, the City proposes the forums to be approximately 90
Council Agenda Packet - July 7, 2025
City Council Community Forum Proposal, Page 2
minutes with flexible days and times to reflect the needs of the community. Each forum will follow a consistent structure to ensure clarity, accessibility, and meaningful engagement. A proposed format includes:
• Welcome and Introductions (5–10 min)
• City Updates and Highlights (15–30 min): Led by City staff and/or Council Members, tailored to the host community’s interests.
• Open Forum/Q&A (30–45 min): Residents may ask questions or share concerns directly with the City Council and staff.
The forums will be hosted at community spaces such as Hillcrest Brethren Homes, Mobile Home Parks, churches throughout La Verne, or the Community Center to best reach the community. Locations will rotate based on geographical spread throughout the community. The City's initial concept is to host two in-person forums throughout the year and a third virtual option.
First Forum Concept
To kick off these forums, City staff have identified Hillcrest Brethren Homes as a prime first location. Based on input from Hillcrest staff, a Monday from 10 AM to 12 PM is the best time to maximize resident engagement from the Hillcrest Community, who normally attend similar community events during this timeframe. The City is looking to host the forum in August on either Monday the 18th or the 25th. This forum will be open to the entire community and will be advertised on social media.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
At this time, staff anticipates the forums can be implemented using existing City resources and partnerships. However, modest costs may be associated with space rental (if required), printed outreach materials, community mailers, and more. Staff will monitor these costs and return to Council should additional funding be required to conduct these forums.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.
LEGAL REVIEW
All forums will be noticed and posted in compliance with the Brown Act. This report has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.

SUBJECT: GATEWAY SIGNAGE ENHANCEMENTS FOR THE METRO A-LINE (FORMERLY GOLD LINE) TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE PROJECT.
SUMMARY
This item presents options for architectural enhancements to the Metro A-Line Transit-Oriented Development Pedestrian Bridge Project. While these enhancements are not essential to the bridge’s core function or structural use, they offer opportunities to incorporate community- serving elements that enhance visual appeal, reflect local identity, and contribute to a stronger sense of place.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council provide direction on signage options presented for inclusion in the construction bidding documents for the Pedestrian Bridge Project. Final approval of features to be included in the construction contract will be subject to future consideration following the opening of bids and budget feasibility review.
DISCUSSION
The LA Metro A-Line (formerly Foothill Gold Line) Station in La Verne was recently dedicated and planned to open for service in the coming months. The Metro operated light rail transit system will bring a new mass transit option to the City once open. As part of the long-term planning for the station, a multi-modal bridge creating a connection from the La Verne Station to the Fairplex campus, has been making progress through engineering design. At the April 21, 2025 meeting of the City Council, staff presented design options for potential architectural enhancements to the bridge were presented and Council direction was received. Of those features presented, the signage concepts were requested to be brought back for further discussion and consideration by City Council.
In continuation of evaluating cost-effective enhancements to the bridge, two options that received feedback from the City Council as possible options for signage were reviewed further for costs and concept layouts.
Option A- Aluminum Channel Lettering
The use of conventional aluminum channel lettering signage with internal illumination was evaluated. Based on the scale of the bridge structure and relating the text to suit those proportions, the signage letters would be approximately 6-feet tall with a depth of 10-inches. In this concept, the internal illumination would be visible from the face of the lettering. Colors of the sign lettering are suggested to match that of the Gateway Sign located at the intersection of
Council Agenda Packet - July 7, 2025
Gateway Signage Enhancements for the Metro A-Line (formerly Gold Line) Transit Oriented Development Pedestrian Bridge Project., Page 2
E Street and First Street for consistency in the area, but alternative colors can be considered.
Maintenance of this option for signage will involve occasional servicing the LED light fixtures and other related servicing of the sign system. While the materials proposed are conventional and anticipated to be easily managed, the placement of the sign on the bridge span above Arrow Highway and the Metrolink crossing will present added challenges to complete maintenance work. Roadway lane closures and added permitting requirements for working near the railroad tracks will add to the life-cycle cost of this sign option.
Option B- Concrete Cast Lettering
The concrete span of the bridge presents an opportunity to include integral sign text cast into the structure. This option would involve similar construction techniques to the form liner materials that will be used on the bridge embankment and columns, budget allowing. The depth of the bridge structure is a limiting factor for this option, forcing the text scale to be less in height to Option A at approximately 2.5-feet and a depth of 2-inches.
Maintenance of this option would likely be much less involved with respect to the demands of Option A. The text may be painted or stained to help differentiate it from the greater structure's natural concrete color. While some maintenance over time should be expected, since the text will be cast into concrete and integral to the bridge structure, weathering is expected to remain consistent with the overall bridge.
Lighting of the concrete cast text is not factored into the Option B cost outlined further in this report. It can be a feature that is added, but the benefits of reduced maintenance costs for this option will be diminished. Additionally, since this option is cast in concrete, lighting will require external housing for the light fixture. Placement of this may be on the bridge, which could affect the appearance of this sign option.
Text Content Options
There are a few options for what the text will read, each with some variation and impact to the two signage material options presented. Constant for each option as the letter increases, it’s expected that so will the cost of construction. However, the cost per added letter for Option A will likely outpace the growth in cost for Option B pending the selected message.
“La Verne” – This is the simplest option that has been identified for consideration on the bridge. If applied for Option A, the larger text height and sign material scale will allow for proportioning that aligns with the bridge structure. If applied to Option B, the limits on text height for the cast-in-place concept will result in a more muted signage scale.
“City of La Verne” – Similar to the prior message option, the addition of “City of” will increase the cost of Option A. For Option B the additional text will help improve the signage scale.
“Welcome to La Verne” – This message option is a continuation of the prior impacts to each of the two options for cost and scaling. However, the “Welcome” feature of the message with respect to eastbound traffic is situated closer to where the traffic is departing from the City’s jurisdictional boundaries.

“Est. 1906” – As a complement to any of the potential messages noted prior, the year of incorporation may also be a consideration. The incorporation date of 1906 is a reminder of the deep roots of the community in time and the history of the area. It’s also a common detail that has been used by other agencies for similar gateway sign implementations.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The projected total project cost is estimated to be about $26.26 million, including contingencies and cost escalations. Currently, the project has various funding sources amounting to $26.11 million. These features for the design phase have been accounted for in the current design budget, but final consideration for construction will occur after bid costs are opened and analyzed for feasibility. Outside the previously noted project funding, an additional $2,000,000 of Measure M Multi-Year Sub-Regional Program Grant funds were identified for use in the City of La Verne through partnership with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG). This added funding source scope will allow a portion of the funds to be used for the bridge if conditions require additional funds for the construction phase of work; however, the majority of the new funding is for first and last mile active transportation projects to include pedestrian and bicycle improvements as well as wayfinding signage.
The estimated cost for Option A is $101,000 per side of the bridge for a total of $202,000 if signage on both sides of the bridge is determined to be feasible in the budget. Costs for Option B, without illumination, are estimated at $17,000 for each side for a total of $34,000. Variations in the sign message can also affect the price, with additional letters adding cost should “Welcome” or “1906” be of interest for inclusion in the text.
Feedback provided by the City Council will help inform the final scope of the construction project and will be incorporated into the bidding documents. While the SGVCOG serves as the lead agency and will administer the contract award, the City of La Verne - as a project partner and the future agency responsible for the facility’s operations and maintenance - will have the opportunity to provide input on whether any of the proposed architectural enhancements should be included in the final construction award.

Agenda Report
DATE: July 7, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: JR Ranells, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO HIRE A RETIRED ANNUITANT AS RANGE MASTER FOR OVERSIGHT OF FIRING RANGE USE BY OUTSIDE AGENCY.
SUMMARY
The Los Angeles County Probation Department has requested to utilize the City’s firing range for an agreed upon fee. The City does not have staff capacity to ensure safe operations during the requested use but has identified retired Sergeant Martin Weinreb who possesses the training and experience to provide this service. The recommended action is requested to comply with the California Public Employee’s Retirement System regulations related to such retired annuitant appointments.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to appoint a retired annuitant pursuant to Government Code section 21224 under the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) to temporarily serve as a Range Master for oversight of the City’s firing range during use by an external law enforcement agency.
DISCUSSION
The City owns and operates a firing range used primarily by the Police Department for training and qualification purposes. Periodically, outside law enforcement agencies request access to the range for their training needs. To ensure safe and compliant operation during these times, a qualified Range Master must be present.
The City does not currently have staff capacity to fulfill this function for external agency usage without impacting internal operations or increasing overtime costs. Recently retired Police Sergeant Martin Weinreb possesses significant firearms training and experience and has been identified as qualified and available to provide this service on a temporary, as-needed basis.
Under CalPERS regulations, a retired annuitant may be appointed without reinstatement from retirement to perform services of a limited duration if certain conditions are met under Government Code section 21224, including:
• The appointment must be limited to 960 hours per fiscal year. • The appointment must be made without a predetermined schedule or guarantee of hours.
• The retiree must have specialized skills and experience needed to perform the work. • The appointment must not fill a vacant permanent position.
Council Agenda Packet - July 7, 2025
Authorization to Hire a Retired Annuitant as Range Master for Oversight of Firing Range Use by Outside Agency. ,
This proposed hiring complies with all applicable CalPERS provisions. The retired annuitant would serve on a temporary, part-time basis as a Range Master solely for events involving outside agency use of the firing range. No benefits, seniority, or tenure will accrue from this assignment.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The retired annuitant will be compensated at an hourly rate commensurate with their prior classification, not exceeding the hourly rate paid to employees performing similar duties. The cost is expected to be offset by fees paid by the external agency using the range, and no impact to the General Fund is anticipated.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.
LEGAL REVIEW
This report was reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. Further, the appointment will comply with:
• Government Code §21224 (limited-duration appointments) • CalPERS Circular Letters and Policy Guidelines
• California Code of Regulations Title 2, Section 586.2 (retired annuitant appointments)
The City has also submitted the appointment details to CalPERS for compliance review and received confirmation that this action is in compliance with applicable law.

Agenda Report
DATE: July 7, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: JR Ranells, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION ADOPTING A SALARY CHART FOR FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES AND REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 24-45.
SUMMARY
The attached resolution and salary table reflect adjustments in compensation for Middle Management and Executive Management employees.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt the attached Resolution titled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A SALARY CHART FOR FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES AND REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 24-45.
DISCUSSION
Cost of living salary adjustments are being made reflecting a two percent (2%) increase for unrepresented employees (Middle Management and Executive Management).
The City is still in negotiations with the La Verne City Employees Association (LVCEA), La Verne Police Officers’ Association, and La Verne Police Middle Management Employees. Once negotiations conclude with those groups, it is anticipated that additional revisions to the salary charts will be needed. Per the current Memorandum of Understanding with the La Verne Firefighters’ Association, there are no salary increase considerations at this time. Lastly, the salary chart for Part-Time Employees will be adjusted once the LVCEA negotiations process is completed since there are several part-time positions benchmarked off full-time equivalent classifications.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
A 2% salary increase for unrepresented employees in these groups will require a $165,051 increase to the Fiscal Year 2025–26 Adopted Budget, distributed across multiple funds as follows:
General Fund (101): $128,164
Proposition A (232): $1,310
Proposition C (234): $1,790
Water Fund (502): $19,396
Council Agenda Packet - July 7, 2025
Resolution Adopting a Salary Chart for Full-time Employees and Repealing Resolution No. 24-45. , Page 2
Sewer Fund (530): $8,912
Equipment Fund (624): $4,939
Successor Agency (730): $540
The General Fund increase of $128,164 will be supported by a transfer from the Measure LV Fund (107), consistent with Tier 1 use under the Measure LV spending guidelines. This funding aligns with recommendations from the Measure LV Oversight Committee at its April 29, 2025, meeting, where the Committee endorsed Tier 1 spending based on the negotiated contracts approved by the City Council.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.
