DISCUSSION CALENDAR
11. Authorization to Initiate Proposition 218 Process for Water and Sewer Rate Adjustments.
As a best practice, municipal water agencies should conduct rate studies to ensure rates are fair, sustainable, and reflective of the true cost of providing services. The City's existing water and sewer rates, last updated in 2018, are no longer sufficient to sustain operations and, based on a new rate study by a third-party consultant, developed in conjunction with the Water and Sewer Ad Hoc Committee, new rates are recommended. Staff is proposing to initiate the Proposition 218 notification and protest process, along with procedures for the public hearing and responding to objections under new state guidelines.
Recommendation: That the City Council:
1. Approve a Resolution initiating proceedings under Proposition 218 by setting a Public Hearing date of November 3, 2025, for proposed adjustments to the City’s water and sewer rates;
2. Authorize the City Clerk, or their designee, to provide notice of the public hearing in accordance with Proposition 218’s requirements; and,
3. Approve a Resolution establishing revised procedures for the conduct of the public hearing and majority protest process, including adoption of an Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies procedure (Assembly Bill 2257) in accordance with Government Code sections 53759.1 and 53759.2.

Council Comments: Council Member Lau thanked all the staff and volunteers for their efforts that were integral in making the 4th of July a success. ULV was gifted with the legislative archives of Grace Napolitano, they are on display at the University if you would like to view them.
Condolences to the Wheatley family, Carroll was a wonderful individual.
Council Member Crosby thanked La Verne Police Department Officers Association for hosting the Movie in the Park and supporting the residents. Also, there are currently Committee positions open a mailer was sent to all residents, if you’re interested, please apply. Wants to follow up on cost of reducing noise of the pickleball court. Condolences to the Wheatley family, Carroll was a pillar, he advocated for all to do and be involved.
Council Member Johnson attended the JPIA meeting last month, which is an amazing organization and helps our City out. Costs would be significantly higher if the City had to go through private insurance companies. Having this Joint Powers Authority working for us is a tremendous deal. Shout out to our Police Department we appreciated all that they do, working with LA Impact and the cooperation with the City has made a real difference in our community.
Mayor Pro Tem Kashifalghita thanked City staff for all the hard work on the 4th of July events, and the support from the Friends of the Fourth. Would like some educational materials for parents regarding E-Bikes, they go fast and kids should be safe, wearing helmets. As part of the Mosquito Vector Control Board please remove any standing water, please let me know if you see an abundance of mosquitoes in your area and the Vector Board can send someone out. Support the Damien High School marching band.
Mayor Hepburn thanked the Ad Hoc Committee, it was a lot of work, and they brought some great stuff to us. Mayor Hepburn asked City Manger Domer to make his comments regarding the fire issue.
City Manager Domer gave an update on LA County terminating its Fire Service contract with Pomona effective April 16, 2026. He stated
the City’s Fire Department is unique in that we have an automatic aid agreement with LA County Fire and the Department goes into the City of Pomona on many calls. There is mutual support that goes both ways between the Cities and therefore the termination of Pomona’s fire services contract by LA County Fire will have consequences for fire and EMS within both the City of Pomona and the City of La Verne. Hence, Chief Nigg and his executive team have been monitoring this issue closely and keeping in contact with each side. On July 7
th the Pomona City Council gave direction to its City Manager to explore several options to include: (1) to remain and pay over $8 million more for the legacy LA Fire contract; (2) to reestablish the Pomona Fire Department, disbanded in 1994; or (3) to transition to participate in some regional collaboration. He continued that Chief Nigg and he have had initial conversations with Pomona staff about alternatives and potential collaboration for all three options. Given the importance of high quality, regional fire and emergency medical services the City will continue to provide information as needed to the City of Pomona. The Pomona City Council is receiving an update in September about their options and alternatives, and at that time, Chief Nigg would provide an update on this important regional issue.
Council Agenda Packet - August 18, 2025
Minutes City Council 8/4/2025 Page 9
City Manager Domer spoke about Assembly Bill 130 which sets forth new guidelines for Homeowner Associations (HOA) in which they cannot fine a resident for a violation of more than $100 after an extensive process that is put in place and recorded. Our authority to enforce property maintenance codes within an HOA gated community are limited as it has to be seen within the public view, and those are private streets. Our Code Enforcement does not go into an HOA community to enforce those codes. City Attorney Hall Barlow stated the critical piece is that HOA Boards are allowed to make determination as to rules that are health and safety driven, so that the limitation of $100 fine will not apply to those rules that are driven by health and safety.
City Manager Domer gave an overview of the change to the election date timeframe which appeared on the May 19
th Council Agenda.
Applications for our various Committees, Commissions and Boards will be accepted until August 28 th. A mailer was recently sent to all residents, if you are interested in participating, we encourage you to apply.
Mayor Hepburn thanked our Police Chief and his staff for their fine work on a number of issues recently within La Verne. Great Work by All! Thank you to the Ad Hoc Committee. Take note our final concert in the Park is this weekend and great job by LVPOA on their movie nights.
ADJOURNMENT
Adjournment in memory of Carroll Wheatley. Carroll was a beloved La Verne resident, community leader, and devoted family man, passed peacefully on July 14 surrounded by his loved ones.

He went on to become a senior partner at Laughlin, Falbo, Levy & Moresi, LLP and was a founding member of the African American Workers’ Compensation Professionals. Deeply committed to justice and inclusion, he served on the La Verne Cultural Awareness Committee and the Los Angeles Fairplex Watertec Committee, working to empower youth and give voice to those facing discrimination.

Agenda Report
DATE: August 18, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Christy Lopez, Finance Director
SUBJECT: QUARTERLY TREASURER'S REPORT ENDING JUNE 30, 2025.
SUMMARY
The Quarterly Treasurer’s Report provides an overview of the City’s cash and investment holdings as of June 30, 2025. The report confirms compliance with the City’s investment policy as set forth in Administrative Regulation Number 215, the Statement of Investment Policy, and the State of California’s Government Code (GC) Section 53646.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council receive and file the Quarterly Treasurer’s Report for the period ending June 30, 2025.
DISCUSSION
The attached Treasurer’s Report is provided to the City Council per the City of La Verne Administrative Regulation Number 215, Investment Policy, and as provided under the State of California’s Government Code (GC) Section 53646. GC 53646 provides that a quarterly report (or monthly if legislatively elected) may be submitted to the City Council on a quarterly basis.
This report details cash and investments held by the City, a statement that the portfolio complies with the Investment Policy and confirms the City’s ability to meet pooled expenditure requirements for the next three months. As of the reporting date, the City’s total cash and investments amount to $134,012,500, with a market value of $112,863,921. The significant variance between the par value and market value is primarily due to the agency securities, which have a par value of $43.2 million but a market value of $22.7 million.
Of the $134 million, $15,950,426 is held in a fiduciary capacity for the Los Angeles Interagency Metropolitan Police Apprehension Taskforce (LA IMPACT), while the remaining $118,062,074 is held by the City. Additionally, $2,999,400 is held outside the treasury by a fiscal agent to meet the 1996 Revenue Bond covenant.
The investment portfolio is structured to prioritize safety, liquidity, and yield. It is divided into on- call deposits and long-term investments:
On-Call Deposits:
• Totaling $40,657,500, these funds are held in various checking accounts and liquid investment pools to ensure immediate availability.
Council Agenda Packet - August 18, 2025
Quarterly Treasurer's Report Ending June 30, 2025., Page 2
• Notable balances include California CLASS ($12.3M), LA IMPACT in California CLASS ($13.3M), and the City Treasurer’s account ($8.7M).
Long-Term Investments:
• Totaling $93,355,000 in par value with a market value of $72,206,421, these holdings span a diverse array of instruments, including agency securities, U.S. Treasuries, municipal and corporate bonds, asset-backed securities (ABS), and certificates of deposit (CDs).
• U.S. Treasuries and Agency Securities form the largest components of the portfolio, with market values of $22.8M and $22.7M respectively.
• Mortgage pools have been called in this reporting period. • Weighted average yields remain competitive, with many investments offering yields above 4%.
Investment Policy Compliance:
• The portfolio complies with all policy constraints related to credit quality, issuer limits, maturity limits, and sector allocations.
• The City Treasurer certifies that all investments conform to the current investment policy and applicable state regulations.

I hereby certify that the investment activity for this reporting period conforms with the current investment policy as set forth in Resolution No. 24-67. Per government code requirements, there are adequate funds available to meet the City of La Verne's budgeted and actual expenditures for the next six months. *The variance between par and market value is primarily due to rising interest rates, which reduce the present value of future cash flows for fixed-income agency securities. As these securities are held to maturity and not intended for sale, the unrealized losses have no impact on the portfolio's realized returns or liquidity.

Agenda Report
DATE: August 18, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sam Gonzalez, Police Chief
SUBJECT: BODY-WORN CAMERA & DIGITAL EVIDENCE SERVICE RENEWAL.
SUMMARY
On June 16, 2025, the City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2025–26 budget, which includes funding to renew the Police Department’s body-worn camera, in-car video, and digital evidence management system. Axon remains the sole provider capable of meeting the Department’s operational and technical requirements for this critical public safety system which provides transparency and protection in the City's law enforcement functions.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council authorize the City Manager to renew the agreement with Axon Inc. for a new five-year term, ensuring continued use of these essential tools for accountability, transparency, evidence integrity, officer safety, and community trust. The 5-year agreement total is $922,373.25 with a year one cost of $183,335.70.
DISCUSSION
Since 2020, the Police Department has relied on Axon Inc. for body-worn and in-car video systems, including digital evidence storage and management. Axon has provided consistent service, responsive technical support, and full integration with departmental systems, including Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD), vehicle equipment and Taser integration, and digital evidence workflows. Axon remains the sole provider capable of meeting the Department’s needs for these critical public safety functions.
In addition to video systems, the Department also uses Axon’s Draft One report system, which utilizes artificial intelligence to transcribe audio from body-worn cameras into preliminary narrative reports. This system has reduced the time officers spend writing reports and has led to measurable reductions in overtime costs. The Axon system has become a critical tool for law enforcement operations. Video and audio recordings capture key evidence used in court, helping jurors visualize the elements of criminal offenses such as verbal confessions, DUI field sobriety tests, vehicle pursuits, and incidents involving resistance or force. These recordings significantly strengthen prosecutorial outcomes.
Beyond evidentiary value, the system enhances internal accountability and training. Recordings have been vital in resolving citizen complaints and internal investigations with transparency and fairness. Officers have been exonerated from allegations through clear video documentation.
Conversely, the recordings have also helped identify performance issues and inform remedial training or counseling, reinforcing the Department’s commitment to professionalism.

Body-Worn Camera & Digital Evidence Service Renewal. , Page 2
The mobile video system has also proven to be an effective risk management asset, helping the City mitigate potential liability. Body-worn cameras provide continuous recording outside the patrol car, capturing interactions from the officer’s perspective. These recordings are regularly used in debriefings and internal training, contributing to department-wide learning and development. Immediate access to video footage also improves report accuracy and courtroom testimony, providing officers with a reliable reference point after critical incidents.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Funding for the new five-year agreement is included in the City’s Technology Replacement Plan, with the first year cost of $183,335.70 funded through the Fiscal Year 2025 - 2026 adopted Police Department budget using General Fund resources. Future years will be included in the City’s annual budgeting process.
In accordance with Section F of Administrative Regulation 204, the City’s Purchasing Policy, this purchase qualifies under both the sole source and brand continuity procurement procedures. Axon is the sole provider that meets the Department's operational and legal requirements for body-worn and in-car camera systems, digital evidence management platform, and the Draft One report system. Draft One is specifically designed to function within the Axon ecosystem and is not compatible with other systems, further supporting the need for brand continuity.
Prior to renewing the existing agreement, Staff requested updated pricing from Axon while working to meet a citywide goal of reducing the Police Department’s budget by five percent.
Initial quotes reflected a cost increase of over $90,000 compared to the original contract. Staff entered negotiations with Axon to reduce this increase while maintaining critical services and features.
As a result of these efforts, the Department secured a new five-year agreement totaling $922,373.25, reflecting nearly $86,000 in savings from the initial renewal proposal. The agreement retains essential components such as the equipment replacement program, ensuring officers remain equipped with the latest camera technology. Device upgrades are scheduled for delivery in September 2025, and the agreement includes provisions to ensure uninterrupted service between contract terms.
Renewing the agreement provides a fiscally responsible solution that supports the Department’s operational and legal requirements, ensures continuity of service, avoids costly system transitions, and maintains long-term pricing stability.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS

FROM: Andrea Blockinger, Administrative Analyst
SUBJECT: FINDING THE WHEELER AVENUE PARK PROJECT IS EXEMPT UNDER
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT, CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS SECTION 15302, REPLACEMENT OR RECONSTRUCTION OF EXISTING STRUCTURES AND FACILITIES.
SUMMARY
The City of La Verne is eligible to apply for a competitive grant through the State Land and Water Conservation Fund. Funding will be used to replace and upgrade the basketball court surfaces, field lighting, and play netting at Wheeler Avenue Park. Formal CEQA determination and submittal is required as part of the grant program.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council Adopt a Resolution titled, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF LA VERNE, CALIFORNIA, FINDING THE WHEELER AVENUE PARK
IMPROVEMENTS ARE EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT PER CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS SECTION 15302 (REPLACEMENT OR RECONSTRUCTION OF EXISTING FACILITIES)."
DISCUSSION
At the August 4, 2025, City Council Meeting, the City Council approved a grant application though the State California Natural Resources Agency Land and Water Conservation Fund Grant program for Wheeler Avenue Park Improvements. The proposal includes the retrofit of ten existing light poles with LED fixtures, resurfacing the park’s basketball court, and replacing the deteriorated play netting, which has developed holes and requires replacement. The grant program requires that the City submit a CEQA determination to the State Clearinghouse for the project scope.
For this grant program, award recommendations would be determined in fall or winter 2025, with an official award announcement expected in spring 2026. Project implementation would begin in summer 2026 or summer 2027, depending on final award timing and construction scheduling. The grant performance period would conclude in spring 2031. Should the City receive an award, the grant agreement will be presented to the City Council for formal approval prior to project implementation. As part of the grant process, it is required to make a CEQA determination for the project. The project, as described, best fits with CEQA exemption in California Code of Regulations Section 15302 (c), replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities without expansion of capacity.

DISCUSSION
The proposed ordinances amend several sections of the La Verne Municipal Code to ensure compliance with State mandates and to implement policies from the City's updated General Plan. A summary of each ordinance and its proposed changes is outlined below:
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs):
This ordinance updates the City’s ADU and JADU regulations to align with current State law. The Ordinance has been redlined against current provisions so changes are easily identifiable. Not all sections have changes, but they are included in the Ordinance without change so the provisions can be reviewed in their totality. Key changes include:
• Incorporation of definitions included in the State ADU law, either directly or by reference. • Revised permit processing procedures to meet State requirements. • Clarification of allowable ADU locations and the number of units permitted per lot. • Updated development standards, including height limits and parking requirements. • Provisions regarding the treatment of units constructed prior to January 1, 2020, even if unpermitted.
• Additional protections for properties subject to a Mills Act contract, recognizing their historic significance. These updates are intended to expand housing options while ensuring responsible integration into existing neighborhoods.
The ADU/JADU Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080.17 which provides CEQA does not apply to ordinances implementing the ADU law.
Historic Structures and Noise Ordinance:
The recently adopted General Plan Update included a number of actions to be taken as follow- up. Two actions relate to historic structures and noise.
Historic Structures:
A new section is added to preserve and regulate historic structures. The ordinance restricts demolition or significant alteration of historic buildings damaged by natural disasters unless:
• The work restores or enhances the structure’s historic value; • The Building Official determines the structure poses an imminent safety hazard; or

• The State Office of Historic Preservation authorizes demolition or alteration under the Public Resources Code.
The environmental impacts of this Ordinance were analyzed under the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the General Plan.
Noise Regulations:
Chapter 8.20, which incorporated the Los Angeles County noise provisions by reference, is repealed and a new Chapter 8.20 is adopted to reflect updated noise policies consistent with the General Plan. Key updates include:
• Clearly defined noise limits by property type and time of day. • Requirements for construction noise management plans near residential areas. • New standards for vibration impacts and mobile equipment. • Revised exemptions for certain activities such as emergencies and minor home maintenance.
• Enhanced enforcement measures, including provisions for repeat police responses to loud parties.
The environmental impacts of this Ordinance were analyzed under the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the General Plan.
Reasonable Accommodation:
This ordinance repeals and replaces Chapter 18.116 to bring the City's reasonable accommodation procedures into compliance with state and federal fair housing laws. Revising the reasonable accommodation provisions was one of the programs in the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element. The proposed ordinance is modeled on the City of Oakland’s ordinance, whose initial draft was revised in response to concerns raised by a disability advocacy agency for people with disabilities. Key features include:
• A formal process for individuals with disabilities to request flexibility in zoning and building regulations.
• Clear definitions for applicants, disabilities, and types of accommodations. • Application procedures, including a 30-day review timeline and required findings. • Privacy protections, application assistance, and a formal appeal process. • Applicability to both standalone requests and those tied to other land use permits.
This Ordinance is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to the common sense exemption set forth in Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) that CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity will have a significant effect, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

Two-Unit Housing Projects and Urban Lot Splits (SB 9):
This ordinance introduces minor but important updates to LVMC § 16.12.060 and Chapter
18.122 to comply with recent changes in state law to SB 9. The Ordinance has been redlined against current provisions so changes are easily identifiable. Proposed changes include:
• A 60-day time limit for the City to act on two-unit and urban lot split applications. • Clarification of the number of units allowed when no lot split occurs. • Identification of additional site types where such development is prohibited. • A requirement that only objective standards may be applied to these projects.
This Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Government Code sections 65852.21 and 66411.7 which provides that ordinances implementing SB 9 are exempt from CEQA.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
No Fiscal Impact.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The ADU/JADU Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.17 which provides CEQA does not apply to ordinances implementing the ADU law.
The environmental impacts of the Historic Structures and Noise Ordinance were analyzed under the Environmental Impact Report for the General Plan.
The Reasonable Accommodation Ordinance is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to the common sense exemption set forth in Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) that CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity will have a significant effect, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
The Two-Unit Housing Projects and Urban Lot Splits (SB 9) Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Government Code Sections 65852.21 and 66411.7 which provides that ordinances implementing SB 9 are exempt from CEQA.

"Adjusted ambient noise level" means the measured ambient noise level plus three dB(A). “Affected property” shall mean any noise-sensitive land use that could be impacted by a stationary noise source.
“Ambient noise level” shall mean the distinctive acoustical characteristics of a given area consisting of all the noise sources audible at that location. “Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) shall mean the average equivalent A-weighted sound level during a 24-hour day, obtained after the addition of five (5) decibels to sound levels in the evening from 7:00 to 10:00 PM and after the addition of ten (10) decibels to sound levels in the night between 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM.
“Decibel (dBA)” shall mean a unit for measuring the amplitude of a sound, equal to twenty (20) times the logarithm to the base ten (10) of the ratio of pressure of the sound measured to the reference pressure of twenty (20) micro-pascals.
“Equivalent sound or noise level (Leq)” shall mean the sound level corresponding to a steady noise level over a given sample period with the same amount of acoustic energy as the actual time-varying noise level.
“Impulsive noise” shall mean a noise of short duration usually less than one second and of high intensity, with an abrupt onset and rapid decay. Such objectionable noises may also be repetitive.
Council Agenda Packet - August 18, 2025
4 “Intrusive noise” shall mean that noise that intrudes over and above the ambient noise at a given location. The relative intrusiveness of a sound depends upon its amplitude, duration, frequency, time of occurrence and tonal information content, as well as the prevailing ambient noise level.
“L(n)” shall mean the A-weighted sound level exceeded during a certain percentage of the sample time. For example, L10 in the sound level exceeded 10 percent of the sample time.
Similarly, L50, L90, L99, etc.
