PRESENTATIONS
Damien Spartans Division 1 State Champions 2025-26
The 2025–26 Damien Spartan basketball team began the season as an unproven roster made up of 6 seniors, 5 juniors, 4 sophomores, and 5 freshmen, but finished as a tight-knit group of undisputed champions. Fueled by stifling defense, relentless three-point shooting, and unwavering resilience, the Spartans quickly established themselves as contenders. They opened the season with five consecutive double-digit victories to win the Battle of Rosecrans title, rebounded from a narrow post- Thanksgiving loss by capturing a second tournament championship, and used a challenging December slate against national competition to prepare for a strong postseason run.
Damien carried that momentum into the new year, winning 11 straight double-digit games and securing its first Baseline League title in four years. After briefly struggling against elite Open Division opponents in early February, the Spartans responded with six consecutive victories to close the season. Through adversity, toughness, and team chemistry, this remarkable group of student-athletes achieved the ultimate goal and cemented its legacy as Division 1 State Champions.
The team was coached by Michael LeDuc, Eric Johnson, Yancy Dodson, Darian Zabel, and Andrew Garcia.

City of La Verne,City Council
Agenda Report
DATE: May 18, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Eric Scherer, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE OLD TOWN LA VERNE BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT
DISTRICT ANNUAL REPORT AND INTENTION TO LEVY AN ANNUAL
ASSESSMENT.
SUMMARY
The annual report for the Old Town La Verne Business Improvement District has been prepared for review by the City Council. Per state law, the City Council is required to declare its intention to hold a public hearing to levy annual assessments for the businesses located within the District area.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:
1. Approve the Annual Report for the Old Town La Verne Business Improvement District (BID); and,
2. Adopt the attached Resolution declaring the City’s intention to levy an annual assessment for Fiscal Year 2026-27 for the BID at their meeting on June 1, 2026.
DISCUSSION
In April of 1986, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 720, establishing a Business Improvement District (BID) for downtown La Verne. In January of 1987, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 733, establishing an advisory board for the Downtown La Verne Business Improvement District.
In 2002, the Advisory Board and the City Council officially changed the name of the organization to the Old Town La Verne Business Improvement District. Since its formation, it has been the practice of the BID Advisory Board to submit an Annual Report that includes:
• An overview of the prior year's activities.
• A proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year.
• A re-establishment of district boundaries and assessment formula in compliance with the Parking and Improvement Area Law of 1989.
Last year, the City Council approved the reorganization of the BID's advisory board to no longer be appointed by the City Council, but for the non-profit group the Old Town La Verne Business Association (Association) to be the advisory board to the City Council for BID activities. In addition, the budgets for the events held in Old Town were transferred to the Association,
Council Agenda Packet - May 18, 2026
Approval of the Old Town La Verne Business Improvement District Annual Report and Intention to Levy an Annual Assessment., Page 2
whereas the assessment collected from the businesses within the District will continue to be part of the City's budget, used primarily for ongoing maintenance costs and Capital Improvement Projects in the District.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The BID budget will be included during the regular budget process to be funded through the Business Improvement District Fund.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.
LEGAL REVIEW
This report and the attached Resolution were reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE OLD TOWN LA VERNE
BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT FOR THE 2025-2026 FISCAL YEAR
FINANCE
As approved by the City Council in 2025, the non-profit Old Town La Verne Business Improvement Association (“Association”) now acts as the District’s Advisory Board, and all events were transferred to the Association for their budgeting. The City continues to budget for the District’s ongoing maintenance and capital improvement projects with the revenues collected from the annual assessments.
During the 2025-2026 fiscal year the Old Town La Verne Business Improvement District (“District”) received approximately $22,500 from the District assessments paid by the businesses within the District. The expenditures for the District’s budget this fiscal year are projected to be $14,500. However, for the transitions of events to the Association during this fiscal year, a one-time transfer of approximately $68,600 was paid to the Association from District reserves. The anticipated fund balance on July 1, 2026 is expected to be approximately $110,500.
At their May 4, 2026 meeting, the Advisory Board voted to recommend that the District not fund the 2027 Cool Cruise car show event, but program that money towards physical improvements in Old Town (signs, trash cans, bike racks, etc.) to be discussed in detail later this year.
The 2026-2027 annual budget that received a recommendation by the Advisory Board has projected expenditures of approximately $25,200, with projected revenues of $25,500, leaving a fund balance of $110,800 at the end of the next year. A summary of the proposed 2026-2027 budget is attached.
PROMOTIONS
In the last year most of the Old Town Events occurred as normal. The Cruisin La Verne and Cool Cruise car events occurred with a new annual agreement approved by the City Council for the 2026 Cool Cruise and upcoming Crusin La Verne car shows. As noted above, the Advisory Board voted not to fund the 2027 Cool Cruise car show but does not object to the event still occurring. The City Manager has identified some grant funding that could pay the $2,000 to the promoter for that (and future) car show, but this will require a new agreement with the promoter to be approved by the City Council to occur.
The Beer Walk was not held in 2025 but is planned to return in 2026. The Wine Walk was held in April 2026 and was a sold-out event. The Holiday Stroll was a great success in December 2025.
Support for all of these events includes logistics, advertising and other publicity, which in turn brings the public and new businesses to Old Town. The continued business growth in Old Town is a result of these efforts. The Association has taken
Council Agenda Packet - May 18, 2026
on more of the responsibilities of marketing the Old Town businesses and events with even more responsibilities in the next year. They continue to use social media and their website, www.oldtownlaverne.org, to help promote the area.
New street light banners were purchased and installed prior to the Holiday season, with a budget for next year for new seasonal banners that can be swapped out throughout the year.
ONGOING SERVICE/MAINTENANCE
The District provides ongoing service for Old Town businesses by way of regular sidewalk cleaning, landscape maintenance and replacement, and through funding of the electrical costs for the lights in Old Town street trees. With these lights nearing the end of their functional life, City staff will be evaluating a replacement plan as detailed below.
MAJOR PROJECTS
As staff has been monitoring the status of the tree lights, it has been observed that there are electrical issues at some of the trees, most likely due to root damage. As a result of that, the Public Works department commissioned a study to evaluate the health of the older trees in Old Town, so that it could be determined if investment in electrical improvements and tree light replacement would make sense if the trees are nearing the end of their life. For the next fiscal year, the Public Works Department plans to hire a consultant to develop a multi-part plan for the best and most effective way to restore Old Town lighting over the next few years.
In the last fiscal year, a private non-profit group funded the first of what is planned to be an annual event to install pavers honoring people that make La Verne special, officially named the “La Verne Walk of Honor”. The installation ceremony was held with the Holiday Stroll event, with 10 new pavers installed at the northeast corner of D and third Street. This private group is planning to install 10 more this year as well.

Agenda Report
DATE: May 18, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Christy Lopez, Finance Director
SUBJECT: OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 90-1; SPECIAL TAX LEVY FISCAL YEAR 2026-27.
SUMMARY
Operation and Maintenance Community Facilities District No. 90-1 (O&M CFD 90-1), a special tax district within the La Verne Industrial Specific Plan, requires the City Council to authorize the levy annually. Exhibit “A” of the attached resolution lists the properties and their levy’s included in the district.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt the attached Resolution, levying a special tax for Fiscal Year 2026- 27 per the schedule shown in Exhibit “A” attached to the Resolution, which increases the rate by
3.4% to address cost increases based on the annual consumer price index ending March 2026.
DISCUSSION
In January 1991, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 817 authorizing the levy of a special tax for the Community Facilities District No. 90-1. The special taxes are to be levied each year on those properties contained in the District (La Verne Industrial Specific Plan) for the operation and maintenance of the public infrastructure. Refer to Exhibit “A” of the original Engineer’s Report and Exhibit “A” of the attached Resolution for those properties which are to receive a levy. The formation of the district allowed for an annual increase not to exceed 5%. These taxes will fund public safety services, sewer pump maintenance, street maintenance, and related administrative costs for services provided to the District. The total square footage assessed this Fiscal Year is 2,227,954.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Annual revenue of $1,844,300.32 is projected for the FY 2026–27 assessments associated with CFD No. 90-1. This revenue will be applied to offset costs of special benefits provided to the district as further described in City of La Verne Ordinance 817.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved this report.

DATE: May 18, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Christy Lopez, Finance Director
SUBJECT: COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 11-1; SPECIAL TAX LEVY FISCAL YEAR 2026-27.
SUMMARY
The City Council, on an annual basis, must authorize the tax levy for Community Facilities District No. 11-1 (CFD No. 11-1), a special fire tax for buildings three stories (thirty-five feet) and above or with fire flows of 3,500 Gallons Per Minute or more, which was first established in 2011.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt the attached Resolution levying a special tax for Fiscal Year 2026- 27 within Community Facilities District No. 11-1, increasing the levy by 3% pursuant to Ordinance No. 1023.
DISCUSSION
On May 16, 2011, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 1023 authorizing the levy of a special tax for the CFD No. 11-1. The special taxes are to be levied each year on those properties contained in the District for the financing of the fire suppression and prevention services necessary to serve the buildings determined to be taxable. The “Map of Proposed Boundaries of City of La Verne Community Facilities District No. 11-01” of the original rate and method of apportionment report shows these properties within the District.
The Ordinance establishes a maximum special tax rate for the base 2011-12 Fiscal Year (FY). The maximum special tax rate is increased by an annual escalation factor defined as the lesser of the CPI-U for Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County (subsequently replaced in 2017 by CPI-U Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim) or 3.0%.
The rate of assessment for this Fiscal Year has been increased by 3% over the previous year's assessments to match the increase in the Consumer Price Index. The increased assessment rate will be $0.6757 per square foot for developed parcels in the District. An exhibit detailing the calculated assessment with rate increase is attached for reference. The total area of permitted and/or developed property assessed this Fiscal Year is 383,226 square feet.
CFD 11-1 has been reviewed to determine whether it should be amended and replaced by a new CFD which will expand the public safety services funded by the revenue, correct some administratively burdensome annexation requirements included with the original formation, and create new tiers for residential versus non-residential assessments which may lessen the burden on current participants in CFD 11-1. One planned project has been conditioned to be
Council Agenda Packet - May 18, 2026
Community Facilities District No. 11-1; Special Tax Levy Fiscal Year 2026-27., Page 2
annexed into the future CFD and will serve as the initial project for the district formation.
However, the timing of when that is to occur is subject to the status of the project obtaining permits and a specific timeline has not been determined.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Annual revenue of $258,945.81 is projected for FY 2026–27 assessments associated with CFD No. 11-1. This revenue will be applied to offset costs of special benefits provided to the district as further described by Ordinance No. 1023.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved this report.

Agenda Report
DATE: May 18, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Ken Domer, City Manager
SUBJECT: DENIAL OF LIABILITY CLAIM #26-06.
SUMMARY
A claim for damages was received by the City on April 7, 2026, in which a former employee, who resigned from their position, is claiming that they are due lifetime medical benefits based on language within the applicable Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Upon review of the circumstances, it is recommended that the City Council deny the claim and inform the claimant of his legal rights regarding the claim.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council deny the Claim for Damages, Claim 26-06, received April 7, 2026.
DISCUSSION
Under the California Government Claims Act (Government Code Sections 810 et seq.), individuals seeking monetary damages from a public agency must first present a claim to the agency before filing litigation. The Act requires a city to act on such claims within specified statutory timeframes, including approving, compromising, or denying the claim. For general law cities, such as the City of La Verne, the City Council serves as the governing body authorized to take formal action on claims unless such authority has been delegated by local policy or administrative procedures. This authority has been delegated to a Third Party Administrator (TPA) through the City's membership in the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA). The current TPA is Athens Program Insurance Services (Athens). Athens reviewed the submitted claim and denied coverage to the City through the CJPIA's Memorandum of Liability Coverage under its Employment Practices at this time.
The claim denial presented to the City Council is an administrative procedure required to preserve the City’s legal rights and defenses under state law, to include eventual representation by the CJPIA. Denial of a claim does not constitute a determination of liability, but instead allows the matter to proceed through the legal process should the claimant elect to pursue further action.
The basis of denial is that while Article 16 of the La Verne Police Middle Management Association MOU does state the following for employees hired before November 5, 2018:
"Employees who retire after 1-1-05 will be provided with a monthly medical insurance contribution in an amount of 80% of the monthly premium of the least expensive HMO plan provided by the City to its active employees (for the retiree and covered dependents)," the employee filing the claim is not eligible. Eligibility is dependent upon the employee retiring from the City after meeting certain requirements defined in the MOU. In this instance, the employee
Council Agenda Packet - May 18, 2026
Denial of Liability Claim #26-06., Page 2
resigned via electronic mail as of June 26, 2025, based on his pursuit of other professional opportunities. The employee was gainfully employed by another party and resigned his position, thus not meeting the eligibility requirements to gain retiree medical benefits. While the employee ultimately submitted his paperwork to retire from the California Public Employees Retirement System approximately four months later, that action did not tie back into his resignation from City employment due to another job.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The action of denying the claim does not have a fiscal impact. However, the claimant has the opportunity to sue the City and seek remedy in a court of law. If a lawsuit is filed, the City Council will be advised within a property noticed Closed Session.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved of this item. The City Attorney's office will monitor and handle the situation until such time that the CJPIA assumes responsibility for the claim, if that occurs.

Agenda Report
DATE: May 18, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Cody Howing, City Engineer
SUBJECT: CITYWIDE LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 6 AND ZONES 2, 3, 4-I, 4-II, 5 AND 6 PUBLIC HEARING & RESOLUTION FOR ANNUAL LEVY.
SUMMARY
On April 20, 2026, the City Council adopted a Resolution setting May 18, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. as the date and time for the public hearing for the subject assessment district and its zones.
Attached is the Engineer’s Report from the April 20, 2026, meeting. No change in the assessment levy is proposed for the subject special benefit in Zones 2, 3, 4-II, and 5. Zones 4-I and 6 allow for CPI increases which have been applied to their respective assessments for the proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 levy.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt a Resolution providing for the annual levy and collection of assessments for the special zones in District No. 6 for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.
DISCUSSION
This report includes descriptions of improvements to be maintained and services to be performed by the City. With the approval of the Utility Tax, the Citywide District Assessment (Zone 1) is proposed to remain at zero. The general benefit contributions from the City for the District 6 zones totals to $19,011. This contribution addresses the cost assigned to the general benefit the landscaping features bring to the City. These include landscaped areas that front public streets and medians.
To address increases in contractual services and utility costs, reductions to service and watering levels are proposed for FY 2026-27 in all zones except for Zone 5, which has reserve funds applied to services. Zone 5 is proposed to be assessed an annual per parcel cost lower than the maximum allowed to support drawing down excess reserve funds.
Increased maximum assessment rates are proposed for Zone 4-1 and Zone 6 based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as allowed for in those two zones. The annual CPI rate for March 2026 is 3.4%. The maximum annual assessment increase for Zone 4-1 and Zone 6 is not to exceed 5% and 3% respectively.
Grant funds for the purpose of water efficient landscaping and irrigation improvements have been approved for Zone 3. Removal of turf defined as “Non-functional” pursuant to AB 1572 will be included in the grant-funded improvements. Further efforts to seek additional grants will be a focus of City staff for FY 2026-27 for the purpose of funding cost-cutting improvements in the District.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
Based on the proposed budget for FY 2026-27, application of general fund appropriations for the general benefit obligations of the City is $19,011. Cost-cutting measures and application of fund reserves will also be implemented as further described in the Engineer’s Report to balance the budget for each individual zone.
Except for Zone 5, all assessment levies are aligned with the maximum allowable rate. Future assessment increases will be evaluated and subject to property owner approval in compliance with Proposition 218. Community engagement and cost-cutting measures will be conducted for Zone 4-II during FY 2026-27. City staff intend to bring back for City Council consideration options to initiate a Proposition 218 process in Zone 4-II for the FY 2027-28.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The annual maintenance of Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 6 related facilities is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15301 and City of La Verne environmental guidelines.

CITY OF LA VERNE
ENGINEER'S REPORT
FOR LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE
DISTRICT NO. 6
FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
SECTION 1. AUTHORITY FOR REPORT
This report is prepared in compliance with the requirements of Article 4, Chapter 1, Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California.
Landscape and Lighting District No. 6 (“District”) a special benefit assessment district, provides funding for the maintenance of landscaped areas owned by the City of La Verne or provided for by easements to the City of La Verne.
Section 22573, Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, requires assessments to be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value.
The boundary of the District is completely within the City limits of the City of La Verne and is shown on the Assessment Diagram (on file in the office of the City Clerk at the City Hall of La Verne as Exhibit “A,” Pages 1 thru 32). All parcels of real property included within the District are described in detail on maps on file in the Los Angeles County Assessor’s office. Assessment diagrams for individual zones are included within this report.
SECTION 2. PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS
Street Sweeping, Street Lights and Traffic Signals; Citywide
Street sweeping, street lights and traffic signals are no longer included in the Citywide District (Zone 1).
Landscaping; Citywide
Citywide landscaping of a general benefit are no longer included in the Citywide District (Zone 1).
Council Agenda Packet - May 18, 2026
Landscaping, Specific Zones
Zone 1
For Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 there are no improvements included in this zone which will be maintained (funded) by this district.
Zone 2
The plans and specifications for the irrigation and landscaping were prepared by the developer and previously approved by the City Engineer. Landscaping generally consists of trees, shrubs and ground cover along First Street within the limits of Tract No. 35405. Landscaping is south of the tract boundary and is visible from First Street. Reference is hereby made to the said plans and specifications for the exact location and nature of the landscape improvements. Said plans and specifications by reference are hereby made as part of this report and are on file in City Hall and are available for public inspection. A location map is attached as Exhibit “B.” This zone is located at the southwest corner of Bonita Avenue and Fulton Road. It is bound to the north by Bonita Avenue, to the south by First Street, and to the east by Fulton Road. Generally, the parcels included in this zone front Bonita Avenue, Madison Avenue, Brandt Street, Roosevelt St and Filmore Court. For FY 2026-27, the maintenance frequency for most activities recommended to be reduced from quarterly to biannually. Water use is also proposed to be reduced by 30% from the previous year’s budget. Much of the landscaping in the area is well established and is expected to sustain the proposed reductions in service. The proposed assessment for this zone is $67.23 per parcel, which reflects the maximum assessment allowable for this zone.
Reserves are anticipated from the proposed FY 2026-27 assessment and will be applied to the fund reserve budget.
Zone 3
The plans and specifications for the irrigation and landscaping were prepared by the developer and previously approved by the City Engineer. Landscaping generally consists of trees, shrubs, turf and ground cover adjacent to Wheeler Avenue in Tract No. 33912. Reference is hereby made to the said plans and specifications for the exact location and nature of the landscape improvements.
Said plans and specifications by reference are hereby made as part of this report and are on file in City Hall and are available for public inspection. A location map is attached as Exhibit “C.” This zone is located near the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Wheeler Avenue. It is bound to the east by Wheeler Avenue and to the south by Metropolitan Water District’s Waymouth Treatment Plant. The parcels included in this zone front Doral Street, Tabor Lane, and Ancona Drive.
The proposed assessment for this zone is $99.59 per parcel, which reflects the maximum assessment allowable for this zone.
Council Agenda Packet - May 18, 2026
A turf removal grant has been identified for this area to assist in removal of nonfunctional turf in compliance with State requirements, but also as a source of funding cost saving improvements in the zone. The proposed improvements will aid in reducing future water and maintenance costs for the Zone. Grant funds have been pre-approved in late FY 25-26 and its expected that removal of the turf will be conducted during or prior to FY 2026-27.
Zone 4 - Generally
The plans and specifications for the irrigation and landscaping were prepared by the developer and previously approved by the City Engineer. Reference is hereby made to the said plans and specifications for the exact location and nature of the landscape improvements. Said plans and specifications by reference are hereby made a part of this report and are on file in City Hall and are available for public inspection.
Zone 4-1
This area is commonly referred to as “Rancho La Verne.” Maintained landscape improvements including irrigation systems, trees, shrubs, turf, and ground cover are generally located along Via Rancho La Verne from Baseline Road to Via De Mansion from Wheeler Avenue to Via Campo. The other major element for this zone is the riparian drainage course and pedestrian trail from Birdie Drive to Los Robles. A location map is attached as Exhibit “D”. The location of this zone is north of Baseline Road and east of Wheeler Avenue. The zone extends north to Oak Mesa Park, while the easterly limits of the zone are partially composed of the Marshall Canyon Drainage Channel.
Within the riparian area, there are improvements including irrigation systems, ground cover, trees, shrubs, drainage structures and pedestrian trail. The pedestrian trail within the “natural” setting benefits all properties in the zone boundaries and the City generally. Fifty percent of the riparian area, including the pedestrian trail and drainage structure, is of a “general” Citywide benefit. A proposition 218 ballot process for the FY 24-25 period, was approved, and includes increasing the maximum assessment and incorporated an annual escalation to the maximum assessment based on the Local Consumer Price Index (CPI) based on the year-to-year rate determined for the month of March not to exceed 5% on an annual basis. The proposed assessment for this zone is $163.03 per parcel, which reflects a 3.4% increase pursuant to the CPI for March 2026 for the Los Angelese, Long Beach and Anaheim area as issued by the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Zone 4-2
This area is commonly referred to as the “Live Oak Development.” Improvements are generally located along Esperanza Drive from Ridge Crest Drive to Golden
Council Agenda Packet - May 18, 2026
Hills Road. Improvements along Esperanza Drive benefit the entire Live Oak developments. Improvements include irrigation systems, trees, turf, shrubs, ground cover and pedestrian/equestrian trail. A location Map is attached as Exhibit “E”. The location of this zone includes, and is generally situated north of Jasmine Court. The north limits of the zone approximately trace Marshall Creek and is bound to the east by the City of La Verne jurisdictional boundary. Limits of the zone west of Esperanza Drive include Starline Street, Quail Court, Partridge Place, Peacock Place, Meadowlark Drive, Prairie Falcon Drive, Blackbird Lane, and Hummingbird Way.
A proposition 218 ballot was conducted the FY 24-25 period. However, the results of the ballot process upheld the protest of the proposed increased assessment.
The proposed assessment for this zone will be maintained at the current maximum allowed assessment amount of $147.09 per parcel. A reduction in maintenance frequency and watering will be employed to reduce costs. As needed to balance the budget, use of reserves will be applied.
Zone 5
The plans and specifications for the irrigation and landscaping were prepared by the developer and previously approved by the City Engineer. Landscaping generally consists of trees, shrubs, ground cover and turf on Puddingstone Drive median, Puddingstone Drive and Wright Avenue intersections with Fairplex Drive and Orange Avenue and the Wheeler Avenue median landscaping. Reference is hereby made to the said plans and specifications for the exact location and nature of the landscape improvements. Said plans and specifications by reference are hereby made a part of this report and are on file in City Hall and are available for public inspection. A location map is attached as Exhibit “F.” The zone is located south of Arrow Highway and west of Fairplex Drive. The zone is bound to the north by Metrolink Rail, to the east by Fairplex Drive, to the south by Puddingstone Drive and to the west by the Marshall Canyon drainage channel.
For FY 2026-27 as in the nineteen previous fiscal years, costs for the maintenance, including utility expenses for the mini park, street lights and traffic signal will not be included in this zone. City Council on May 5, 2014 approved the addition of the University of La Verne’s Campus West two parcels into this zone.
On April 4, 2016, the City Council approved a development agreement with Gilead Sciences, Inc. requiring Gilead to pay 11 times the single parcel fee in the zone which was equal to a previous entitled 11 lot industrial park on the same site.
The proposed assessment for this zone is $233.75 per parcel for FY 2026-27. The maximum assessment allowable for this zone is $247.62 per parcel. The lower assessment and contribution of reserves are intended to balance the budget for this year.
Council Agenda Packet - May 18, 2026
Zone 6
This zone was formed in June of 2002 as a condition of tract Map No. 52965 for the maintenance of landscaping along Fruit and Amherst Streets within the limits of the subdivision. A location map is attached as Exhibit “G”. The zone is located to the north east of the intersection of Fruit Street and Amherst Street. Parcels included in this zone are located on Hartshorn Ranch Place, Oak Tree Lane, and the south side of Bowdoin Street between Fruit Street and Guava Street.
The proposed assessment for this zone is $319.74 per parcel, which reflects the maximum assessment allowable for this zone as not to exceed three percent escalation based on the CPI rate applied to the prior year’s maximum assessment.
SECTION 3. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
No assessment will be made upon the properties within the Citywide District (Zone 1) for FY 2026-27.
The basis for benefit for the significant land uses for the Citywide District (Zone 1) are no longer applicable.
Within the Citywide District there are specific zones which contain unique improvements required with the original development of the properties within the specific zone. These improvements are landscaping in nature and are included in the discussion in Section 2 of this report. The costs for these improvements are assessed to the respective zones.
Each zone has its own expenditure budget. The nature of this landscaping equally benefits each parcel within the individual zone containing the landscaping. Because of this each parcel within a zone is equally assessed.
Each of the specific zones receive special benefit from the improvements maintained and further described in this report. Furthermore since each of the respective Zones in District 6 include improvements that are located on, or visible from public right-of-way, a general benefit contribution from the City has been factored into the apportionment of assessments proposed for annual levy. The general benefit for each Zone will amount to the respective full budget identified for staff time. This contribution will represent the full value of the general benefit contribution to the zones.
Zone 5, the San Polo La Verne Business Park (formerly Koll Business Park La Verne), was unique to itself. Agreements between the Koll Company and the City of La Verne required that the San Polo La Verne Business Park participate in a specific Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District. The improvements already included were similar to those improvements included in the Citywide District. Thus Zone 5 did not include the basic assessment for the Citywide District (Zone 1). With the transfer of the funding for the maintenance of improvements included in the Citywide District (Zone 1) from the Citywide Assessment District to the General Fund (Utility Tax) and with the application of the Utility Tax to the parcels within Zone 5, funding for the more general benefit
Council Agenda Packet - May 18, 2026
improvements, i.e. traffic signal, mini park and street lights have been deleted from Zone 5 and are now included in the General Fund.
SECTION 4. ESTIMATED COSTS FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE

Agenda Report
DATE: May 18, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Cody Howing, City Engineer
SUBJECT: CITYWIDE LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 7 PUBLIC HEARING; RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE ANNUAL LEVY.
SUMMARY
On April 20, 2026, the City Council adopted a Resolution setting May 18, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. as the date and time for the public hearing for the subject assessment district. There is no increase to the assessment amount levied for this Fiscal Year from the prior year assessment. The proposed assessment amount of $693.26 per parcel is set at the maximum allowable assessment for the District.
RECOMMENDATION
That City Council adopt a Resolution, providing for the annual levy for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.
DISCUSSION
On January 3, 1995, the City Council, by adopting Resolution No. 95-2, formed Landscape and Lighting District No. 7. This District was formed to maintain the fuel modification zones included in the La Verne Heights III (Lewis Homes) housing development. The creation of the District was a requirement of the La Verne Heights Specific Plan.
An expenditure budget was prepared and approved in 1995 estimating the total cost to maintain the transitional landscaping and the fuel modification zones at $128,940 or $693.26 per parcel.
Increases to contractual services and utilities have required that the assessment be levied at the maximum allowed rate while also applying district reserves to balance the budget. The proposed assessment of $693.26 is not changed from the prior year. Continued reductions to service levels are also planned to support managing operational costs for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27. Adequate fuel modification reserves will still be maintained.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Based on the proposed budget for FY 2026-27, application of surplus funds in the amount of $57,563.64 is required to balance the budget. Adequate reserve funds are available, although long-term sustainability is a concern in future year projections. As a result, city staff have applied for grant funds for fuel modification purposes for near-term future needs.
Solutions to balance the budget on a long-term timeline horizon include evaluation of assessment increases and the addition of a cost escalation factor tied to the Consumer Price Index. City staff will continue to enhance community engagement on the subject and plan to
Council Agenda Packet - May 18, 2026
Citywide Landscaping and Lighting District No. 7 Public Hearing; Resolution providing for the Annual Levy., Page 2
bring back for City Council consideration, options to initiate a Proposition 218 process in District 7 for the FY 2027-28 Fiscal year.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The annual maintenance of Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 7 and related facilities is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15301 and City of La Verne environmental guidelines.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved this report.

ENGINEER'S REPORT
AFTER FORMATION OF LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE
DISTRICT NO. 7
FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
SECTION 1. AUTHORITY FOR REPORT
This report is prepared in compliance with the requirements of Article 4, Chapter 1, Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California.
Landscape and Lighting District No. 7 (“District”) a special benefit assessment district, provides limited funding for the maintenance of open space within the oak tree preserve, equestrian and pedestrian trails and the fuel modified landscaped areas owned by the City of La Verne or provided for by easements to the City of La Verne.
Section 22573, Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, requires assessments to be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value.
The boundary of the District is completely within the City limits of the City of La Verne and is shown on the Assessment Diagram (on file in the office of the City Clerk at the City Hall of La Verne as Exhibit “A,” (Pages 1 thru 4). All parcels of real property included within the District are described in detail on maps on file in the Los Angeles County Assessor’s office.
SECTION 2. PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS
The fuel modification zone is illustrated in Exhibits 2-27 and 2-28 of the La Verne Heights Specific Plan, a copy of which is on file in the Office of the City Clerk. It has been created to protect residential land uses from wildland fires within La Verne Heights along the interface between developed and non-developed land uses. Fire-retardant qualities useful for fuel modification procedures involve plants with a low growth habit and fuel volume with a low heat output when burned.
Fuel modification principles used implement a combination of wildfire suppression techniques currently employed by various agencies in Southern California. In general, significant specimens of existing desirable, low fuel plant species located within the zone will continue to be preserved, trimmed and maintained. Representative species include mature coast live oak, toyon, and sycamore. Areas within the zone are subject
Council Agenda Packet - May 18, 2026
to fuel modification specifications for each hazard classification. Fuel modified slopes will provide for adequate fire safety, and minimal visual, biotic and erosion impacts.
The portion of the Specific Plan west of Esperanza Drive and south of the main community entrance and south of Ridgeview Drive have been designated “extreme fire hazard,” primarily due to type and density of vegetation and slope. The first 100-feet from the structure will require 100 percent removal of vegetation (excluding healthy oak trees) and replanting the area with low fuel plant species. Since a perimeter road concept has been employed, a majority of this 100-foot zone will be utilized by front yard landscaping, roadway pavement, pedestrian trails and introduced landscaping, thereby minimizing or eliminating required removal of natural vegetation. The next 200- feet will require a combination of the same fuel modification techniques, but with the replanting of low fuel plant species. Healthy oak trees in all zones shall be pruned of dead material a minimum of six feet above average existing grade. All areas beyond the limit of the Extreme Fire Hazard Zone (300-feet from the edge of structures) will remain in natural unmodified open space.
The remainder of the perimeter areas are designated as “High Fire Hazard,” as shown in Exhibit 2-27 of the La Verne Heights Specific Plan. The majority of this area is located along Marshall Canyon, and is highly visible from existing development. The High Fire Hazard Zone requires much less fuel modification than the extreme zone, resulting in fewer visual impacts. The High Fire Hazard Zone is divided into two areas.
The first 100-feet form the structure requires 100 percent vegetation removal (excluding healthy oak trees), and replanting the are with low fuel plant species. The next 100-feet requires fuel modification as previously discussed. Areas beyond this zone will remain in natural open space, with no fuel modification.
The High Fire Hazard Zone - Internal Canyon Area is identical to the standard high fire hazard are in that the 100-foot/100 percent removal zone and remaining Fuel Modification Zone are identical. All healthy oaks in the Internal Canyon Area will be preserved with some minor pruning potentially being required. This canyon area contains the extension of the Oak Tree Preserve. All oak trees will be preserved in the Fuel Modification Zone. No external view-shed impacts are associated with fuel modification activities in this zone.
Part of the development of the fuel modification zones is planting of low fuel plant species. This planting is generally referred to as transitional landscaping. A separate line item has been included in the budget.
The last element of this District is the maintenance of open space. While this is a massive area, little maintenance is expected except for the trail systems.
SECTION 3. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
The net amount to be assessed upon the properties within the District is apportioned by a formula and method which equally distributes the amount of benefit among all assessable parcels. The maintenance of the slopes provides a special benefit which is received by each and every lot or parcel within the District.
Since portions of the District 7 improvements are located on, or are visible from, publicly accessible land, a general benefit contribution from the City has been factored
Council Agenda Packet - May 18, 2026
into the apportionment of assessments proposed for annual levy. The general benefit for the District will amount to the full budget identified for staff time. This contribution will represent the full value of the general benefit contribution to the zones.
SECTION 4. DIAGRAM FOR THE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
A reduced copy of the assessment diagram is attached as Exhibit “A.” Full size maps are available in the office of the City Engineer. The zone is located west of Esperanza Drive and south of Golden Hills Road. The zone is bound to the south and west by open space. The parcels included in this zone compose the La Verne Heights Community.
SECTION 5. ASSESSMENT
The fuel modified landscaping was developed and is maintained for the benefit and enjoyment of all the properties included within the assessment district boundaries, and all parcels benefit from the improvements. The amount to be assessed upon the assessable lands within the district for Fiscal Year (FY) 1995-96 was zero. The developer, Lewis Homes of California was solely responsible for maintenance this FY.
The amount to be assessed upon the assessable lands within the District for FY 1996- 97 was $128,946 ($693.26 per parcel). But since only three-fourths of the area was anticipated to be ready for acceptance by the City for maintenance during FY 1996-97, the assessment was reduced to $99,425.00. For the FY 1997-98 the assessment was to return to the originally approved amount of $128,940 which would have been necessary to maintain all of the proposed fuel modified areas after the establishment plant growth period. Since no additional areas above the FY 1996-97 level were anticipated to be accepted during FY 1997-98, the assessment was again reduced to $99,425.00. For FY 1998-99 the full assessment budget was approved at $106,060.00.
This was less than the 1996 estimate of $128,940 do to the following factors:
1. The water usage for the established areas was less than first two year of growth.
2. The required maintenance for the established areas is less than previous years.
For FYs 1999-00 through 2006-07, the $106,328.00 budgets were proposed to be approximately at the FY 1998-99 level with surpluses from previous year’s assessments reducing the assessment to $99,425.00, the FY 1998-99 level. For FY 2007-08 and 2008-09 the budget was increased to $135,219 due to increased costs to maintain fuel modification areas. For FY 2009-10, the budget was increased to $150,363. That increase was due to an increase in the maintenance levels for transitional landscaping and open space fuel modification. In addition, the cost of water increased by 20 percent. In order to reduce the assessment deficit, the levy was increased from $534.54 per parcel to the maximum allowed within the district of $693.26 per parcel as established with the formation of the district. For FY 2010-11 the budget was reduced to $132,828.00 due to reduction in water usage. For FY 2011-12 there was a slight increase in the budget to $134,075.00 with a credited surplus of $5,129.00 from previous fiscal years balances the budget with assessments. For FY 2012-13 the budget was again slightly increased to $142,174.00 with previous years surpluses being credited to balance the assessment. For FY 2013-14 the budget was reduced to
Council Agenda Packet - May 18, 2026
$132,246 with previous year’s surpluses being credited to balance the assessment. For FY 2014-15 the budget was increased to $137,400.00 with previous years surpluses being credited to balance the assessment. For FY 2015-16 the budget increased to $186,000 with previous years surpluses being credited to balance the assessment. The increase was due to a proposed one time improvements to the storm drain system ($10,000.00) and increase fuel modification $40,000.00. In FY 2016-17 the budget decreased to $154,500 with the completion of the 2015-16 storm drain improvements and the major fuel modification projects. Previous years surpluses were credited to balance the assessments. For FY 2017-18 the budget increased to $166,630.00 from $154,500.00 in order to replace the controller’s “cellular” cards. There were adequate reserves to fund the short fall between the amount that can be assessed and the cost center total. For FY 2018-19, the budget was decreased to $162,138.00 with the reserves funding the short fall. While the assessment remained at the maximum of $693.26, the levy was reduced to $650.00 per parcel because of the high reserves. For FY 2019-20, the budget was decreased to $158,167.00. The levy was again decreased from the maximum of $693.26 and the 2018-19 levy of $650.00 per parcel to $600.00 per parcel with the reserves used to balance the budget. For FY 2020-21 the budget was increased to $163,453.00. The assessment levy was held at the 2019-20 amount of $600.00 per parcel. For FY 2021-22 the budget increased to $185,547. The assessment levy was increased to $630 per parcel along with application of reserves from the prior year to balance the budget. For FY 2022-23 the budget increased to $210,967. The assessment levy was increased to $660 per parcel and included application of reserve funds to balance the budget. For FY 2023-24 the budget increased to $212,747 resulting from increased contractual services costs. The assessment levy was increased to $684.00 per parcel in conjunction with application of reserves from the prior year to balance the budget. For the FY 24-25 period, the assessment increased to the maximum assessment to $693.26 per parcel. The max assessment was continued for FY 25-26. Aligned with the prior two years, the FY 26-27 assessment will remain at the maximum assessment of $693.26 per parcel.
District reserve funds will be used to balance the budget.
As required by said Act, a diagram is attached hereto showing the District and the boundaries and dimensions of the respective parcels of land within said District as the same existed at the time of the adoption of the Resolution of Intention and the initiation of these proceedings, as each parcel has been given a separate number upon said Diagram.

City of La Verne,City Council
Agenda Report
DATE: May 18, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Cody Howing, City Engineer
SUBJECT: CITYWIDE LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 8 PUBLIC HEARING; RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE ANNUAL LEVY.
SUMMARY
On April 20, 2026, the City Council adopted a Resolution setting May 18, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. as the date and time for the public hearing for the subject assessment district. There is no proposed increase in the assessment from last year’s levy. It is proposed to set the levy at the 1996-97 approved full year’s assessment of $249.70 per parcel.
RECOMMENDATION
That City Council adopt the attached Resolution, providing for the annual levy for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.
DISCUSSION
On January 3, 1995 the City Council approved Resolution No. 95-3 overruling protests and providing for the formation of Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 8 and the annual levy and collecting of assessments for Landscaping and Lighting District No. 8. At that time, it was anticipated that within a year Lewis Homes would have completed the construction and the City would accept the fuel modification area and the linear park (open space) for maintenance in Fiscal Year (FY) 1996-97.
An expenditure budget was prepared and approved in 1995 estimating a full one year’s maintenance cost of $45,445 ($249.70 per parcel) to be levied in FY 1996-97. The levy for FY 1995-96 was set at zero since no areas were to be maintained by the City. Since FY 1996-97, the assessment budget increased as maintenance and utility costs have increased.
In FY 2004-05, the City accepted all the fuel modification areas for maintenance. While the cost to maintain the District increased over the years, exceeding the maximum allowed to be assessed ($45,196), previous years' surpluses were used to hold the assessment at the 1995 approved levy of $249.70 per parcel. The application of a credited reserve will balance the annual budget and maintain the levy amount as in past years at the proposed rate of $249.70 per parcel. Adequate fuel modification reserves will remain in the District. Adequate fuel modification reserves will still be maintained.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Based on the proposed budget for FY 2026-27, application of surplus funds in the amount of $24,004.30 is required to balance the budget. Adequate reserve funds are available, although long-term sustainability is a concern in future projections. As a result, city staff have applied for
Council Agenda Packet - May 18, 2026
Citywide Landscaping and Lighting District No. 8 Public Hearing; Resolution providing for the Annual Levy., Page 2
grant funds for fuel modification purposes for near-term future needs.
Solutions to balance the budget on a long-term timeline include evaluation of a cost escalation factor tied to the Consumer Price Index. City staff will continue to enhance community engagement on the subject and plan to bring back for City Council consideration, options to initiate a Proposition 218 process in District 8 for the FY 2027-28 Fiscal year.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The annual maintenance of Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 8 related facilities is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15301 and City of La Verne environmental guidelines.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved this report.

ENGINEER'S REPORT
AFTER FORMATION OF LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE
DISTRICT NO. 8
FISCAL YEAR 2026-27
SECTION 1. AUTHORITY FOR REPORT
This report is prepared pursuant to the requirements of Article 4, Chapter 1, Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California.
Landscape and Lighting District No. 8 (“District”) a special benefit assessment district, provides funding for the maintenance of the neighborhood park and fuel modified landscaped areas all owned by the City of La Verne or provided for by easements to the City of La Verne.
Section 22573, Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, requires assessments to be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value.
The boundary of the District is completely within the City limits of the City of La Verne and is shown on the Assessment Diagram (on file in the office of the City Clerk at the City Hall of La Verne as Exhibit “A,” Pages 1 thru 3). All parcels of real property included within the District are described in detail on maps on file in the Los Angeles County Assessor’s office.
SECTION 2. PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS
COMMUNITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD PARK
The community park created with the Marshall Canyon development was designed to be accessed and utilized by the neighborhoods surrounding the development. This park will thus be included in Citywide Landscaping and Lighting District Number 6 for maintenance purposes which is now being funded by the City’s utility tax. The neighborhood park, referred to in some City documents as “linear park” can be accessed by the general public from the community park but is more likely to be used by the Marshall Canyon development. For this reason one-half of the maintenance cost of the linear park has been included in District No. 8. The second half of the maintenance will be included in the General Fund budget. Maintenance of appurtenant drainage devices and facilities are included in the “District.”
Council Agenda Packet - May 18, 2026
FUEL MODIFICATION
The fuel modification zone is illustrated in Exhibits 62 and 63 of the Marshall Canyon Estates Specific Plan, a copy of which is on file in the Office of the City Clerk. It has been created to protect residential land uses from wildland fires within Marshall Canyon Estates along the interface between developed and non-developed land uses.
Fire-retardant qualities useful for fuel modification procedures involve plants with a low growth habit and fuel volume with a low heat output when burned.
Fuel modification principles used implement a combination of wildfire suppression techniques currently employed by various agencies in Southern California. In general, significant specimens of existing desirable, low fuel plant species located within the zone will continue to be preserved, trimmed and maintained. Representative species include mature coast live oak, toyon, and sycamore. Areas within the zone are subject to fuel modification specifications for each hazard classification. Fuel modified slopes will provide for adequate fire safety, and minimal visual, biotic and erosion impacts.
Maintenance of appurtenant drainage devices and facilities are included in the “District.”
Areas to the north of the custom home area have been designated as an extreme fire hazard zone due to the character of the existing vegetation and slope. Modification procedures for the extreme fire hazard area require a 300-foot zone. The first 100 feet (Zone A) from structures require 100 percent removal of vegetation (excluding preserved specimens) and re-vegetating with a low fuel plant species. The next 200 feet require a combination of fuel modification techniques and re-vegetation with low fuel plant species. Healthy oaks and other significant trees in all zones shall be pruned of dead material a minimum of six feet above average existing grade. All areas beyond the limit of the extreme fire hazard zone (300 feet from the edge of structures) will remain in natural unmodified open space.
Limited areas of the site adjacent to the golf course and flatter portions of valleys in the custom home area represent a high fire hazard condition. Other than being a reduced zone of modification (300 feet to 200 feet), all facets of the modification procedure remain the same.
Moderate fire hazard zones occur around the existing homes and in the neighborhood park adjacent to the golf course. Although the existing homes are surrounded on two sides by extreme fire hazard conditions, the groves of ornamental trees and irrigated nature of the landscape create a less hazardous condition. The highly volatile species have been removed and the dead material on healthy oaks have been pruned to a minimum of six feet above average grade. Modified areas have been replanted with low fuel plant material.
SECTION 3. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
The net amount to be assessed upon the properties within the District is apportioned by a formula and method which equally distributes the amount of benefit among all assessable parcels. The maintenance of the slopes provides a special benefit which is received by each and every lot or parcel within the District. Assessment No. 183 (Lot 183 of Tract 45586) was an existing prior to the subdivision of Tract 45586.
Council Agenda Packet - May 18, 2026
The improvements installed with Tract 45586 were for the benefit of the new homes in Tract 45586. Because of this pre-existing condition, Lot 183 will have a zero assessment.
Since each of the District includes improvements that are located on, or visible from public right-of-way, a general benefit contribution from the City has been factored into the apportionment of assessments proposed for annual levy. The general benefit will amount to the full budget identified for staff time. This contribution will represent the full value of the general benefit contribution to the District.
SECTION 4. DIAGRAM FOR THE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
A reduced copy of the assessment diagram is attached as Exhibit “A.” Full size maps are available in the office of the City Engineer. The location of this zone is north of Golden Hills Road and includes the Marshall Canyon Estates community. The area is bound generally on the west by Brydon Road, to the east by Stephens Ranch Road and to the north by open space.
SECTION 5. ASSESSMENT
The fuel modified landscaping was developed and is maintained for the benefit and enjoyment of all the properties included within the assessment district boundaries, and all parcels benefit from the improvements. The amount to be assessed upon the assessable lands within the District for Fiscal Year (FY) 1996-97 was $45,445.00.
Since it was anticipated that the areas would not be ready for acceptance by the City for maintenance until mid-FY 1996-97, the assessment was reduced by one-half over that which is anticipated to maintain the area in the originally approved “Report.” For FY 1997-98 through 2003-04 the assessment was to return to the amount necessary to maintain all of the proposed fuel modified areas for a full year. Since some of the areas to be maintained were not accepted by the City, the assessment remained for FY 1997- 98 through 2002-03 at the 1996-97 level of one-half the full year’s rate. All areas required to be maintained by the City were accepted by the City in July 2003. For FY 2003-04 the budget was increased because of the increased cost to maintain the linear park and drainage structures with the levy at the maximum assessment set in 1995 ($249.70 per parcel). Surpluses from the previous years were applied to balance the budgets. In FY 2017-18 the budget increased in order to replace the controller’s “cellular” cards. Previous surplus “reserves” were being used to balance the budget.

Agenda Report
DATE: May 18, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Cody Howing, City Engineer
SUBJECT: MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 84-1M, ESPERANZA ROAD SLOPES; PUBLIC HEARING AND RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE ANNUAL LEVY.
SUMMARY
On April 20, 2026, the City Council adopted a Resolution setting May 18, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. as the date and time for the public hearing for the subject assessment district. The Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027 assessment is proposed to remain at the same level since 1992. It is proposed that there will be no change in the levy from the previous thirty years ($8.00 per parcel).
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt the attached Resolution, providing for the annual levy for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.
DISCUSSION
Maintenance District No. 84-1M was formed in 1986. The purpose of this District is to provide for the costs and expenses necessary for the maintenance of the slopes and storm drain facilities associated with the construction of Esperanza Road. Generally, in the past few years, a minimum of effort has been necessary for this maintenance. Unfortunately, during the 1992, 1993, and 1995 winter storms, significant slides occurred. The majority of the cost to repair these slides was funded by Federal monies with the District funding the difference. The 2004– 05 storms caused some slope damage in which repair work was also federally funded. No significant damage was caused as a result of the 2025-26 wet season.
Assessments since 1987 have varied from $3.98 to an assessment in 1992 of $8.00. With the application of a credited surplus, the levy is proposed to remain at the maximum assessment of $8.00 per parcel.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Based on the proposed budget for FY 2026-27, application of surplus funds in the amount of $14,557.00 is required to balance the budget. Adequate reserve funds are available.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The annual maintenance of 84-1M related facilities is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15301 and City of La Verne environmental guidelines.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved this report.

Agenda Report
DATE: May 18, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Danny Wu, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ADOPTION OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE 2025 URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN AND WATER SHORTAGE
CONTINGENCY PLAN UPDATE.
SUMMARY
State law requires the City to conduct a public hearing prior to adoption of the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP). The 2025 UWMP was prepared pursuant to the Urban Water Management Planning Act and the California Water Code. The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) requires every urban water supplier to prepare and adopt an UWMP, including the Water Shortage Contingency Plan, and periodically update the UWMP at least once every five years, in years ending in six and one. Adoption of these documents is required before the City may submit the plans to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR).
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:
1. Conduct a public hearing on the City's 2025 Urban Water Management Plan Update and Water Shortage Contingency Plan and
2. Adopt a resolution titled, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE 2025 URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN UPDATE"; and
3. Adopt a resolution titled, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE, CALIFORNIA APPROVING THE 2025 WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN"
DISCUSSION
The City of La Verne (City), as an urban water supplier, is required by the Urban Water Management Plan Act of 1983 (Act) to update and submit an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) every five years. The 2025 UWMP contains all elements to meet compliance of the new requirements of the Act as amended since 2020. UWMPs are comprehensive documents that present an evaluation of a water supplier’s reliability over a long-term horizon.
The 2025 UWMP provides an assessment of the present and future water supply sources and demands within the City’s service area. This plan presents an update to the City's currently adopted 2020 UWMP on the City’s water resource needs, water-use efficiency programs, water

Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of the City of La Verne 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and Water Shortage Contingency Plan Update., Page 2
reliability assessment and strategies to mitigate water shortage conditions. Since the adoption of the 2020 UWMP, several updates to the guidebook have been added to the Act; however, these updates do not materially affect the preparation of the 2025 UWMP and Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP). Key updates reflected in this year's update include the following:
• Water Loss Standard Reporting. There were no changes to the Water Code regarding the standards; however, the existing Water Code requires suppliers to demonstrate compliance with the 2028 Water Loss Standard. The Water Loss Standards were not available with the previously submitted 2020 UWMP. Guidance has been added about how suppliers can now report progress toward compliance with the Water Loss Standard in the 2025 Plan.
• Direct Potable Reuse. Since adoption of the 2020 UWMP, the State Water Board has adopted new regulations governing direct potable reuse, resulting in minor updates to water supply reporting tables.
• Lower Income Housing. While projections were required in the 2020 UWMP, additional guidance has been provided for optional reporting of the method used to project water use for low-income housing.
• Reporting Groundwater Recharge and Other Water Storage. Additional guidance has been provided regarding differentiation between long-term and short-term storage reporting to avoid double-counting of stored and extracted water supplies.
The 2025 UWMP also presents an updated 2025 WSCP designed to prepare for, and respond to, water shortages. The WSCP provides the steps and water shortage response actions to be taken in times of water shortage conditions. The WSCP has prescriptive elements, such as an analysis of water supply reliability; the water shortage response actions for each of the six standard water shortage levels; an estimate of potential to close supply gap for each measure; protocols and procedures to communicate identified actions for any current or predicted water shortage conditions; procedures for an Annual Assessment; monitoring and reporting requirements to determine customer compliance; and reevaluation and improvement procedures for evaluating the WSCP. This level of detailed planning and preparation is intended to help maintain reliable supplies and reduce the impacts of supply interruptions. Although an appendix to the UWMP, DWR requires the WSCP be treated as a stand-alone document with its own public hearing and adoption and shall be adopted prior to the UWMP to be included within the Adopted UWMP.
The 2025 WSCP included in Part 4 of the UWMP, establishes the City’s framework for responding to water supply shortages, including defined shortage stages, demand reduction measures, enforcement actions, and communication protocols. The WSCP includes analysis of supplies, demands, and water use efficiency programs under shortage conditions. It includes no substantive changes from the 2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan. Minor editorial updates were made for clarity and consistency. However, the content, procedures, and response actions remain unchanged. The WSCP reflects integration with recent State legislation and updated water management requirements, including the following:
• Senate Bill 606 and Assembly Bill 1668 (Making Water Conservation a California Way of Life). These laws establish long-term water use efficiency standards and require
Council Agenda Packet - May 18, 2026
Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of the City of La Verne 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and Water Shortage Contingency Plan Update., Page 3
urban water suppliers to meet defined water use targets. The WSCP supports compliance through its shortage response framework and demand reduction strategies. • Assembly Bill 1572. This legislation prohibits the use of potable water for irrigation of non-functional turf (ornamental grass not used for recreation) on commercial, industrial, institutional, and HOA common area properties, with phased implementation beginning in 2027 through 2029 and expanded applicability to certain public agency properties by 2031.
The City elected to utilize a Three Valleys Municipal Water District (TVMWD) led team of regionally-focused consultants to assist in the preparation of the 2025 UWMP and WSCP Updates along with other TVMWD participating agencies, including the cities of Glendora and Pomona, Golden State Water Company, Rowland Water District, and Walnut Valley Water District. This approach ensured that all requirements of the plans were met in a manner consistent with other water suppliers in the East San Gabriel Valley. Notices were sent to surrounding agencies notifying of the City’s intention of updating its UWMP and WSCP (Attachment 1). Additionally, prior to this public hearing, copies of the 2025 UWMP and WSCP were made available for review on the City’s website located here.
Staff recommends the adoption of the resolutions (Attachments 2 and 3) approving the final draft of the City’s 2025 UWMP and WSCP Updates, respectively. Due to the size of the UWMP and WSCP, a copy of the document is located at:

Vernes-Regional-Urban-Water-M
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Costs associated with preparation of the 2025 UWMP and WSCP were funded through the Water Enterprise Fund and included within the adopted operating budget.

DATE: May 18, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Christy Lopez, Finance Director
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF AN INTERNAL LOAN FROM THE SEWER FUND TO THE WATER FUND AND ADOPTION OF REPAYMENT TERMS.
SUMMARY
Staff recommends approval of an internal loan structure not-to-exceed $4,000,000 from the Sewer Fund to the Water Fund to provide short-term cash flow support as needed. The proposed structure functions similarly to a line of credit, allowing funds to be drawn only when necessary and repaid over a period not to exceed three years from each draw.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt the attached resolution titled “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL, CITY OF LA VERNE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AN INTERNAL LOAN NOT-TO-
EXCEED FOUR MILLION DOLLARS FROM THE SEWER FUND TO THE WATER FUND AND AUTHORIZING DRAWS AND ADOPTING REPAYMENT TERMS.”
DISCUSSION
The City maintains multiple enterprise funds that operate independently but may, at times, require short-term financial support to address timing differences between expenditures and available revenues. The Water Fund is currently experiencing such a timing need due to both operational and capital obligations. Operational obligations are anticipated to stabilize as the recent water rate increases become fully implemented and collected on a regular basis. Capital obligations are being undertaken to improve the reliability and long-term sustainability of the water system while also generating long-term savings for rate payers.
The Water and Sewer Rate Study, completed in July 2025 and presented during the public hearing process in November 2025, identified the potential need for up to $4,000,000 in financial support from the Sewer Fund to the Water Fund to address projected cash flow requirements. The study anticipated that funding support may be needed beginning in Fiscal Year 2026–27, with repayment beginning in Fiscal Year 2027–28.
The Sewer Fund maintains sufficient available cash reserves and is in a position to provide this support without negatively impacting its operational or capital obligations. Utilizing an internal financing structure allows the City to avoid external borrowing costs while retaining investment earnings within City funds.
Staff is recommending that the loan be structured similarly to a line of credit, allowing the Water Fund to draw funds only as needed rather than issuing the full amount upfront. This approach provides additional flexibility, minimizes unnecessary borrowing, and reduces interest costs by
Council Agenda Packet - May 18, 2026
Approval of an Internal Loan from the Sewer Fund to the Water Fund and Adoption of Repayment Terms., Page 2
ensuring interest accrues only on amounts actually drawn and outstanding. The revised structuring of the loan, from a fixed $4,000,000 loan to a not-to-exceed $4,000,000 line-of-credit style arrangement, is intended to reduce overall interest costs to the Water Fund and provide savings to rate payers over the course of the repayment period.
In accordance with the City’s Fund Loan Policy, the proposed structure includes a defined maximum loan amount and purpose, identification of the lending and borrowing funds, a repayment term consistent with policy requirements, an interest rate tied to a recognized benchmark (Local Agency Investment Fund “LAIF”), formal repayment tracking, and City Council approval through a Resolution, Promissory Note, and supporting exhibits.
Interest will accrue only on outstanding balances at a rate tied to the LAIF yield as of June 30, 2026. For purposes of establishing the repayment framework, an assumed rate of 4.00% has been used. Administrative adjustments may be made to reflect the final LAIF rate. Interest will be calculated from the date each allocation is transferred from the Sewer Fund to the Water Fund.
Funds will be made available following execution of the Promissory Note, anticipated in July 2026, and transfers will occur only as cash flow needs arise. Repayment of each draw will occur over a period not to exceed three years from the date funds are advanced, with the first repayment anticipated in July 2027, consistent with the timing identified in the rate study.
Supporting exhibits included with the Resolution establish the loan framework, repayment terms, and draw tracking requirements.
This approach is consistent with best practices and supports transparency, accountability, and compliance with the City’s financial policies.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action authorizes the Water Fund to draw up to $4,000,000 from the Sewer Fund on an as-needed basis to address short-term cash flow requirements. Interest will accrue only on amounts drawn and outstanding. Repayment obligations, including interest, will be budgeted within the Water Fund as draws occur.
The Sewer Fund will receive interest earnings on outstanding balances at a rate tied to the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). This action does not impact the General Fund.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not applicable.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved this report.
