AGREEMENT

BETWEEN THE LOS ANGELES GATEWAY REGION INTEGRATED REGIONAL

WATER MANAGEMENT JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY

AND THE

CITY OF LAKEWOOD

FOR COST SHARING FOR THE INSTALLATION OF MONITORING EQUIPMENT

AND MONITORING PURSUANT TO THE HARBOR TOXIC POLLUTANTS TMDL This Agreement is made and entered into as of June 8, 2023, by and between the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority (“GWMA”), a California Joint Powers Authority, and the City of Lakewood, (the “Permittee”). The Permittee and the GWMA are collectively referred to as the “Parties”;

RECITALS
WHEREAS, the mission of the GWMA includes the equitable protection and management of water resources within its area;
WHEREAS, for the purposes of this Agreement, the term “MS4 Permittees” shall mean those public agencies that are co-permittees to a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Permit Order (“MS4 Permit”) issued by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board; WHEREAS, the United States Environmental Protection Agency established the Total Maximum Daily Loads (“TMDL”) for Toxic Pollutants on March 23, 2012, with the intent of protecting and improving water quality in the Dominguez Channel and the Greater Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbor Waters (“Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL”); WHEREAS, the Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL regulates certain discharges from National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) permit holders, requiring organization and cooperation among the MS4 Permittees;
WHEREAS, the Permittee manages, drains or conveys storm water into at least a portion of the Los Angeles River including its estuary or Coyote Creek or the San Gabriel River including their estuaries;
WHEREAS, various MS4 Permittees desire to achieve the objectives of the Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL by continuing to maintain the monitoring station in the Los Angeles River at Wardlow Road, monitoring station in the San Gabriel River near Spring Street, and monitoring station in the Coyote Creek, also near Spring Street and conducting monitoring at said monitoring stations (collectively “Monitoring Stations”) to ensure consistency with other regional monitoring programs and usability with other TMDL related studies;
WHEREAS, continuing maintenance of the Monitoring Stations and future monitoring requires administrative coordination for the various MS4 Permittees that the GWMA can and is willing to provide;
06/08/2023

Page 2 of 10 ends

12664/0001/279556-1
WHEREAS, the Lower Los Angeles River Watershed Management Group and the Lower San Gabriel River Watershed Management Group have been formed pursuant to the MS4 Permit and oversee and manage the monitoring program for the Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL within their respective watersheds;
WHEREAS, the members of the GWMA are the Cities of Artesia, Bell, Bell Gardens, Bellflower, Cerritos, Commerce, Compton, Cudahy, Downey, Hawaiian Gardens, Huntington Park, La Mirada, Lakewood, Long Beach, Lynwood, Maywood, Montebello, Norwalk, Paramount, Pico Rivera, Santa Fe Springs, Signal Hill, South Gate, Vernon, Whittier, Water Replenishment District, Central Basin Municipal Water District, Port of Long Beach, and the Long Beach Water Department (“GWMA Members”); WHEREAS, because of the financial savings and benefits resulting from this costsharing arrangement, other MS4 Permittees that are not GWMA Members may request to participate in the cost sharing of the Monitoring Costs for the maintenance of the Monitoring Stations and the costs of monitoring conducted at the Monitoring Stations (collectively “Monitoring Costs”);
WHEREAS, the GWMA Board of Directors authorized the GWMA to enter into individual separate agreements with such individual MS4 Permittees (which shall not have voting rights in the GWMA) for purposes of only cost sharing in the Monitoring Costs; WHEREAS, because GWMA Members already pay annual membership fees that pay for GWMA administrative costs, GWMA Members that participate in the cost share for the Monitoring Costs shall pay an administrative fee that is less than that the administrative fee charged to MS4 Permittees that are not GWMA Members; WHEREAS, certain private NPDES permit holders that are subject to the Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL have also expressed interest in participating in the cost share for the Monitoring Costs and procuring the monitoring data generated pursuant to this Agreement in order to satisfy their own permit obligations; WHEREAS, the current agreements that cover the cost share arrangements for the Monitoring Costs through fiscal year 2022-2023 will expire on June 30, 2023.

WHEREAS, it is currently unknown how many MS4 Permittees and private NPDES permit holders will ultimately participate in the cost sharing of the Monitoring Costs for fiscal years 2023-2024 through 2025-2026;
WHEREAS, depending on how many MS4 Permittees and private NPDES permit holders ultimately participate in the cost sharing for the Monitoring Costs, each participating Permittee’s annual cost share amount will be adjusted and the GWMA will notify each participating Permittee of its adjusted annual cost share amount in writing; WHEREAS, the Permittee desires to share in the Monitoring Costs; 06/08/2023

Page 3 of 10 ends

12664/0001/279556-1

WHEREAS, the role of the GWMA is to: (1) invoice and collect funds from the Permittee to cover its portion of the Monitoring Costs; and (2) hire and retain consultants to maintain Monitoring Stations and conduct monitoring at the Monitoring Stations.

12664/0001/279556-1
Section 7. Financial Terms.
(a) Annual Payment Amount. The Permittee shall pay no more than the following amounts for each of the three fiscal years (June 30-July 1) listed below (“Annual Payment Amount”):

Fiscal Year 2023-2024: Three Thousand, One Hundred Seventy-Eight Dollars and Ninety-Seven Cents ($3,178.97)
Fiscal Year 2024-2025: Three Thousand, One Hundred Ninety-Two Dollars and Seventy-Two Cents ($3,192.72)
Fiscal Year 2025-2026: Three Thousand, Two Hundred Sixty-Seven Dollars and Sixty-Seven Cents ($3,267.67)
Each Annual Payment Amount includes the Permittee’s Cost Share Amount identified in Exhibit “A”, attached hereto and incorporated herein.
(b) Administrative Costs. In addition to the Annual Payment Amount, the Permittee shall also pay its proportional share of the GWMA’s staff time for hiring the consultants, managing the consultants’ contracts, and invoicing the Permittee and legal fees incurred by the GWMA in the performance of its duties under this Agreement (“Direct Costs”), and audit expenses and other overhead costs (“Indirect Costs”), referred to collectively herein as the “Administrative Costs Payment Amount”. The Administrative Costs Payment Amount will be added to the Permittee’s annual invoice to cover the Permittee’s share of the administrative costs.
i. GWMA Members. If the Permittee is a GWMA Member, then the Administrative Costs Payment Amount does not include the GWMA’s Indirect Costs, which GWMA Members absorb as part of their annual membership dues. The rate charged to GWMA Members in order to recover the Direct Costs portion of the Administrative Costs Payment Amount will range between zero percent (0%) and five percent (5%) of the of the Permittee’s Cost Share Amount identified in Exhibit “A.” On an annual basis the GWMA will evaluate the percentage rate charged to GWMA Members to ensure it adequately recovers the GWMA’s cost of performing its duties under this Agreement. Based on this review, the GWMA Board will establish the rate charged to recover its Direct Costs for the next fiscal year. The GWMA will provide the Permittee, through the respective Chairs of the Lower San Gabriel River and Lower Los Angeles River Watershed Management Groups, fifteen (15) days’ written notice prior to July 1st of the fiscal year in which a new rate will take effect. ii. Non-GWMA Members. If the Permittee is not a GWMA
Member, then the Administrative Costs Payment Amount will include the GWMA’s Indirect Costs. The rate charged to Non-GWMA Members in order to recover Direct Costs will range between five percent (5%) and ten percent (10%) of the Permittee’s Cost Share Amount identified in Exhibit “A.” The rate charged to Non-GWMA Members in order to recover Indirect Costs will range between two percent (2%) and five percent (5%) of the 06/08/2023

Page 5 of 10 ends

12664/0001/279556-1
Permittee’s Cost Share Amount identified in Exhibit “A.” On an annual basis the GWMA will evaluate the percentage rates for both Direct and Indirect Costs charged to NonGWMA Members to ensure they adequately recover the GWMA’s cost of performing its duties under this MOU. Based on this review, the GWMA Board may increase or decrease the rates charged to recover its Direct and Indirect Costs for the next fiscal year. The GWMA will provide the Permittee, through the respective Chairs of the Lower San Gabriel River and Lower Los Angeles River Watershed Management Groups, fifteen (15) days’ written notice prior to July 1st of the fiscal year in which a new rate will take effect.
(c) Adjustment of Cost Share Based on Number of Participants. The Annual Payment Amount and the Administrative Costs Payment Amount identified in this Section 7 (“Financial Terms”) represent the maximum dollar amounts that the Permittee is required to submit to the GWMA, but may be reduced based on the final number of MS4 Permittees that participate in the cost sharing for the Monitoring Costs. (d) Reserve Credits. If the actual cost share amount plus administrative costs collected by GWMA from all participating permittees in the Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL program are less than the Annual Payment Amount, plus the Administrative Costs Payment Amount, paid by all permittees in a particular year, then the GWMA will notify the Chairs of the Lower San Gabriel River and Lower Los Angeles River Watershed Management Groups. The Chairs will direct GWMA on how to apply the excess balance, which may include carrying the balance over to cover permittee costs in one or more subsequent years. , GWMA reserves the right to transfer funds from the excess balance to maintain a minimum balance of $10,000 in its account dedicated to the Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL program at all times, per GWMA’s Administrative Budget Policy.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Administrative Costs Payment Amount charged to nonGWMA Members for Indirect Costs will be retained by GWMA and is not subject to a credit.
(e) Funds remaining in the possession of the GWMA at the expiration or earlier termination of this MOU shall be promptly returned to the Permittee in proportion to the Cost Share Amount identified in Exhibit “A” or rolled over into the subsequent MOU for the Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL if requested by the Permittee. (f) The Permittee’s Annual Payment Amount and Administrative Costs Payment Amount for the 2023-2024 fiscal year are due upon execution of this Agreement, but in no event later than September 30, 2023. For each subsequent fiscal year, commencing with the 2024-2025 fiscal year, the GWMA shall submit annual invoices to the Permittee for the Annual Payment Amount and Administrative Costs Payment Amount. Upon receiving an invoice from GWMA, each Permittee shall pay the Annual Payment Amount and Administrative Costs Payment Amount set forth in the invoice to the GWMA within forty-five (45) days of receipt.
(g) The Permittee shall be delinquent if its invoiced payment is not received by the GWMA within forty-five (45) days after the invoice’s date. If the Permittee is delinquent, the GWMA will: 1) verbally contact the representative of the Permittee; and 06/08/2023

Page 6 of 10 ends

12664/0001/279556-1
2) submit a formal letter from the GWMA Executive Officer to the Permittee at the address listed in Section 11 of this Agreement. If payment is not received within sixty (60) days of the original invoice date, the GWMA may terminate this Agreement. However, no such termination may be ordered unless the GWMA first provides the Permittee with thirty (30) days written notice of its intent to terminate the Agreement. The terminated Permittee shall remain obligated to GWMA for its delinquent payments and any other obligations incurred prior to the date of termination. If the GWMA terminates this Agreement because the Permittee is delinquent in its payment, the Permittee shall no longer be entitled to the monitoring data collected from the Monitoring Stations. (h) Any delinquent payments by the Permittee shall accrue compound interest at the average rate of interest paid by the Local Agency Investment Fund during the time that the payment is delinquent.

Section 8. Independent Contractor.
(a) The GWMA is, and shall at all times remain, a wholly independent contractor for performance of the obligations described in this Agreement. The GWMA’s officers, officials, employees and agents shall at all times during the term of this Agreement be under the exclusive control of the GWMA. The Permittee cannot control the conduct of the GWMA or any of its officers, officials, employees or agents. The GWMA and its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall not be deemed to be employees of the Permittee.
(b) The GWMA is solely responsible for the payment of salaries, wages, other compensation, employment taxes, workers’ compensation, or similar taxes for its employees and consultants performing services hereunder.

Section 9. Indemnification and Warranty.
(a) The Permittee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the GWMA and its officers, employees, and other representatives and agents from and against any and all liabilities, actions, suits proceedings, claims, demands, losses, costs, and expenses, including legal costs and attorney’s fees, for injury to or death of person(s), for damage to property (including property owned by the GWMA) for negligent or intentional acts, errors and omissions committed by the Permittee or its officers, employees, and agents, arising out of or related to that Permittee’s performance under this Agreement, except for such loss as may be caused by GWMA’s negligence or that of its officers, employees, or other representatives and agents, excluding the consultant. (b) GWMA makes no guarantee or warranty that any monitoring data prepared by the consultants shall be approved by the relevant governmental authorities.

GWMA shall have no liability to the Permittee for the negligent or intentional acts or omissions of GWMA’s consultants.

12664/0001/279556-1
Termination.
(a) The Permittee may terminate this Agreement for any reason, or no reason, by giving the GWMA prior written notice thereof, but the Permittee shall remain responsible for its entire Annual Payment Amount through the end of the current fiscal year during which Permittee terminates the Agreement and shall not be entitled any refund of any portion of said Annual Payment Amount. Moreover, unless the Permittee provides written notice of termination to the GWMA by February 15th immediately prior to a new fiscal year, the Permittee shall also be responsible for its Annual Payment Amount through the end of such new fiscal year (e.g., If the Permittee terminates on March 1st, 2024, the Permittee is responsible for the Annual Payment Amounts for both fiscal years 2023-2024 and 2024-2025. If the Permittee terminates on February 10, 2024, the Permittee is responsible for its Annual Payment Amount only for Fiscal year 2023- 2024, not for fiscal year 2024-2025). If the Permittee terminates the Agreement, the Permittee shall remain liable for any loss, debt, or liability otherwise incurred through the end of the new fiscal year.
(b) The GWMA may, with a vote of the GWMA Board, terminate this Agreement upon not less than thirty (30) days written notice to the Permittee. Any remaining funds not due and payable or otherwise legally committed to Consultant shall be returned to the Permittee.

Section 10. Miscellaneous.
(a) Other NPDES Permit Holders. Individual or general NPDES permit holders who are not MS4 Permittees that receive Harbor Toxic Pollutants TMDL monitoring requirements in their NPDES permits may wish to participate in this cost share for the Monitoring Costs in order to receive the monitoring data collected from the Monitoring Stations. Upon receipt of a written request from an NPDES permit holder to participate in this cost share, the GWMA will either reject or accept the NPDES permit holder’s participation in the cost share arrangement. If accepted, the NPDES permit holder will enter into a separate cost share agreement with the GWMA that will require the NPDES permit holder to pay annually at least twelve thousand three hundred dollars ($12,300) (“Private Monitoring Fee”) for the Monitoring Costs. Failure to pay the Private Monitoring Fee by the date set forth in the cost share agreement will result in termination of the NPDES permit holder’s participant status. An NPDES permit holder accepted as a participant will only be entitled to receive the monitoring data collected from the Monitoring Stations for any fiscal year in which the participant has paid its Private Monitoring Fee. The Private Monitoring Fee will be applied as a credit toward the Permittee’s Annual Payment Amount in proportion to the Permittee’s Cost Share Amount identified in Exhibit “A.”
(b) Notices. All Notices which the Parties require or desire to give hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally or three (3) days after mailing by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) to the following address or as such other addresses as the Parties may from time to time designate by written notice in the aforesaid manner:

1.1 COUNCIL AGENDA
August 8, 2023
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: Delinquent Fees and Charges for Garbage, Waste and Refuse (UPDATED)

INTRODUCTION
The City Council reaffirmed the policy relative to unpaid charges for garbage, waste and refuse accounts at their regular meeting of July 11, 2023. The City Council adopted Resolution 2023- 48 directing the Director of Finance and Administrative Services to prepare a Report of Delinquent Fees as of May 31, 2023, and setting a public hearing date.

STATEMENT OF FACT
A notice of public hearing has been mailed to all property owners owing at least two months of service or more (minimum of $52.00) as of May 31, 2023. Staff mailed 565 notices, representing $106,925.29 in delinquent charges. As a result of these notices, payments have been made reducing the revised delinquent charges to $52,498.03 (as of the time of this writing).

A comparison of this year with the preceding three years is shown below:

Page 2 ends

While the majority of the proposed lien amounts are less than $312.00 (approximately one year’s worth of basic service charges for most accounts), accounts with a greater lien amount largely include other unpaid fees/charges (i.e. service initiation fee, bounced checks, etc.). Lastly, it is important to note that those parcels which have been transferred/conveyed to bona fide purchasers will be removed from the list.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council conduct a public hearing and adopt the Resolution confirming the Report of Delinquent Fees.
