Total Portfolio 0.87% 0.83%
Local Agency Investment Fund 0.52% 0.37%
Total Portfolio Balance: $105,448,417 $104,254,317 The portfolio balance increased from March to April by $1,194,100 or 1.17%. Significant revenues for April included $5,569,088 Property Taxes, $2,078,027 Sales & Use Tax, $1,966,619 Transportation Grants, $1,402,971 Measure LC, and $557,705 Proposition A & C.

The City’s temporary idle cash, those funds that are not immediately needed to pay current bills and not governed by bond indentures or bond resolutions, is invested in accordance with the City’s adopted Investment Policy. This policy is reviewed regularly by the City Council, with the latest policy adopted February 13, 2018, by Resolution No. 18-06. 9 0
2 The City's cash management system is designed to accurately monitor and forecast expenditures and revenues, thus enabling the City to invest funds to the fullest extent possible within the guidelines of this Investment Policy. The City attempts to achieve the highest yield obtainable through a diversified portfolio only after meeting the criteria established for safety and liquidity in that order. The principal investment objectives of the City are:
1. Preservation of capital and protection of investment principal;
2. Maintenance of sufficient liquidity to meet anticipated cash flows;
3. Attainment of a market rate of return;
4. Diversification to avoid incurring unreasonable market risks, and;
5. Compliance with the City’s Municipal Code and with all applicable City resolutions, California statutes and Federal regulations.
The City’s portfolio is a short-term and intermediate-term fixed income portfolio. The maximum maturity of any investment is 5 years, with consideration of anticipated cash flow requirements and known future liabilities. The City contracts with an investment advisory service (Insight Investment) to assist in the effort to maximize the returns of the City portfolio. The City’s investments include publicly traded Treasury notes, Treasury Bills, Federal Agency Investments, Time Deposits, and Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) under the auspices of the State Treasurer for investment. Funds invested in LAIF are available within 24 hours, and other investments are available upon maturity at full face value. These investments enable the City to meet its expenditure requirements for the next six months, as required by state law.
The City’s investment procedures are governed by Sections 53600 et. seq. of the California Government Code. Additional requirements have been placed on the City’s authorized investments by the Investment Policy (a copy is available in the Finance Department or from the City Clerk), and all investments listed on the attached report adhere to these requirements.

Subject: Construction Award of Bid – PWCP 22-010 – Lancaster Performing Arts Center (LPAC) Improvements
Recommendations:
1. Award PWCP 22-010, Lancaster Performing Arts Center (LPAC) Improvements, to Blessedco Electric, Inc., of Palmdale, California, in the amount of $203,440.00 plus a 25% contingency, to install network and lighting equipment, and perform power upgrades that will transition LPAC to LED Lighting. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to sign all documents. This contract is awarded to the lowest, responsive, responsible bidder per California Public Contract Code Section 22038 (b).
2. Approve a budget transfer of $46,000.00 from Account No. 101-2900-000, General Fund Balance to Account No. 101-11BS002-924, LPAC Improvements.
Fiscal Impact:
$254,300.00 (including 25% contingency) to be awarded; with these actions, sufficient funds are available in Capital Improvements Budget Account Numbers: 101-11BS022-924, 213-11BS022- 924, 226-11BS022-924; 227-11BS002-924, and 228-11BS002-924.
Background:
On March 8, 2022, Council approved the award of RFP 752-22, Lancaster Performing Arts Center (LPAC) Lighting Improvements, to purchase the materials necessary to upgrade LPAC to LED lighting. Due to long lead times on the equipment, it was necessary to split the materials purchase and installation services into two separate contracts. This proposed contract is for installation of the previously purchased materials, as well as network and power upgrades, in order to complete the conversion to LED Lighting. The new LED lighting will be far more efficient and cost effective than the existing incandescent lighting, and will allow LPAC to advance and remain competitive and convenient for touring artists.

Subject: Task Order for Multi-Year Professional Services (Service Group Category 12 – Development Plan Check) Grading Permit and Encroachment Permit Plan Checking (Including Traffic Plan Check) for CDP 18-05 – Permit Plan Checking Recommendations:
1. Approve an increase in the Purchase Order (PO 22-00891) for 2 nd Revised Task Order No. 2 with Cannon Corporation for grading permit and encroachment permit plan checking (including traffic plan check) in the amount of $350,000.00, and authorize the City Manager or his designee to sign all documents.
2. Appropriate $42,695.00 from Fund Balance to Account No. 101-4761-301.
Fiscal Impact:
$350,000.00; with these actions sufficient funds will be available in Account No. 101-4761-301.
Background:
On April 10, 2019, the City approved Task Order No. 2 to Cannon Corp. for grading permit and encroachment permit plan checking services. The cost for their plan checking services are based on a percentage of the grading and encroachment permit plan checking fees that are collected from private development projects.
In accordance with the multi-year agreement, each fiscal year a new Purchase Order (PO) is approved for Cannon Corp. in the amount of $120,000.00 for the payment of their services. Due to an increase in private development and corresponding increase in grading and encroachment plan check submittals, the PO for this fiscal year must be increased by $350,000.00 for a total Purchase Order amount of $470,000.00.
With the increase in development and permit plan check submittals, corresponding revenues have increased proportionately and will offset the requested operating budget increase. 8 9

From: Jeff Hogan, Senior Director – Development Services Chenin Dow, Senior Manager – Real Estate and Economic Development Patti Garibay, Manager - Real Estate and Economic Development Subject: Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding with Midas Lancaster, LP for Maintenance of the Electric Vehicle Charging Stations at the BLVD Marriott Recommendation:
Approve a Memorandum of Understanding with Midas Lancaster, LP (Midas) for maintenance of the Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations that were installed by the City at the BLVD Marriott. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to sign all documents.
Fiscal Impact:
The City will budget $4,000 annually for the anticipated maintenance costs required for the EV charging stations at the BLVD Marriott.
Background:
The City continues to support the adoption of EVs by adding the infrastructure needed to support increased demand. Most recently the City added two single-port electric vehicle charging stations at the BLVD Marriott parking lot. Stations were installed for use by the public, as well as patrons and employees of the hotel.
The EV Stations were installed using a 2021 Community Air Protection Program Grant from the Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District (AVAQMD) under which AVAQMD reimbursed the cost of equipment and installation. In order to comply with the terms of the grant, the City must have the right to access the property, in perpetuity, to maintain the electric infrastructure serving the EV Station, to maintain the EV Stations in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations and to monitor usage level for annual reporting requirements.
With approval of this MOU, the City will provide for and pay all costs associated with maintenance of the EV stations, meters, signage and/or other required equipment. Midas will have contact information for a City staff member who will be available to respond during normal City business hours to any issues that may arise concerning the EV Stations, and the 8 9
8 City will promptly respond to such issues. The City is solely responsible for compliance with the terms and conditions of the grant provided by AVAQMD.

To: Mayor Parris and City Council Members
From: Sonya Patterson, Director – Parks, Arts, Recreation & Community Services Subject: Lancaster Performing Arts Center Air Conditioning Installation Recommendation:
1. Award RFQ 752-22 LPAC Air Conditioning Installation, to Simco Mechanical Inc. of Glendale, California, in the amount of $152,000.00 plus a 25% contingency, to remove and dispose of three, 20-ton AC units, and install three new 20-ton AC units.
2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to sign all documents. This contract is awarded per California Public Contract Code Section 22038 (c).
3.Allocate $190,000 from the general fund balance to Account Number 101 12ZZ005924- LPAC AC to cover costs associated with RFQ 752-22 LPAC Air Conditioning Installation.
Fiscal Impact:
$190,000 (including 25% contingency) to be awarded; with these actions, sufficient funds are available in Account Number 101 12ZZ005924-LPAC AC to complete the project.
Background:
The Lancaster Performing Arts Center (LPAC) was opened to the public in November 1991. For over 30 years, LPAC has brought thousands of performers to Lancaster for our community to enjoy. It is currently the largest performing arts facility in the northernmost part of Los Angeles County and is a proud partner of the BLVD Cultural District. This well-used facility has aged and certain critical assets have begun to fail and cause inconveniences. Current units are over 30 years old and fail frequently. New units will provide more efficient and effective use of resources, and will provide a long-term solution to the temperature control issues at the LPAC’s house and lobby.
Furthermore, this project would provide assured and comfortable temperatures to visitors and staff as they come to LPAC to enjoy performances.
In November 2021, the City solicited proposals for RFQ 752-22 via Public Purchase and through the City’s website. Four (4) sealed bids were received. The bids received are as follows:

From: Sonya Patterson, Director – Parks, Arts, Recreation and Community Services Subject:Lancaster Performing Arts Center Generator Installation Recommendation:
1. Award LPAC Generator Installation, to High Volt Electric, of Chatsworth, CA in the amount of $325,390 plus a 25% contingency, to remove and replace the 200kw Generator currently providing temporary power to LPAC.
2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to sign all documents. This contract is awarded per California Public Contract Code Section 22038 (c).
3. Allocate $406,738 from the general fund balance to Account No. 101 12ZZ006924-LPAC Generator to cover costs associated with LPAC Generator Installation.
Fiscal Impact:
$406,738 (including 25% contingency) to be awarded; with these actions, sufficient funds are available in account number 101 12ZZ006924-LPAC Generator to complete the project.
Background:
The Lancaster Performing Arts Center (LPAC) was opened to the public in November 1991. For over 30 years, LPAC has brought thousands of performers to Lancaster for our community to enjoy. It is currently the largest performing arts facility in the northernmost part of Los Angeles County and is a proud partner of the BLVD Cultural District. This well-used facility has aged and certain critical assets have begun to fail. The principal goal of this project is to ensure that LPAC’s power needs are met at all times and under any circumstances. A more modern generator assures more efficient and effective use of City resources.
In January 2022, the City issued RFQ 753-22. Responses were received from High Volt Electric, and Blue Ridge Mechanical Corp. However, the variance in the bid amounts led to the City canceling the RFQ, and re-soliciting the project. RFQ 759-22 was reissued in February 2022, and no bids were received. Staff tabled the project for a few months, and recently began negotiations 9 0
8 with High Volt Electric. Upon review of High Volt Electric’s proposal, timeline for installation, and references, staff is confident High Volt Electric is a highly qualified and responsive contractor, that is capable of completing this project as required.

Subject: Approve California Choice Energy Authority Entering into a Long-Term Resource Adequacy Agreement with Santa Paula Energy Storage, LLC on behalf of Lancaster Choice Energy
Recommendation:
That the City Council Approve California Choice Energy Authority Entering into a Long-Term Resource Adequacy Agreement with Santa Paula Energy Storage, LLC on behalf of Lancaster Choice Energy.
Fiscal Impact:
Not to exceed $189,000 annually to begin August 2023 for a period of up to ten years and five months. The total not-to-exceed amount of the agreement is $1,968,750. There will be sufficient revenues generated to cover operating expenses, including power procurement, and to fund reserves to provide financial and rate stability to the program.
Background:
On May 27, 2014, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 997 Establishing the Lancaster Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) Program, Lancaster Choice Energy (LCE). LCE began serving customers in May 2015. As a CCA, LCE is required to meet certain state-mandated obligations, including those required by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).
In June 2021, the CPUC adopted Decision 21-06-035 (Mid-Term Reliability Order) or (MTR).
The Mid-Term Reliability Order seeks to ensure that there are sufficient resources available to ensure electric grid reliability and to meet the state’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction goals for the electricity sector and imposes procurement requirements on all load-serving entities (LSEs), including CCAs.
The MTR orders the procurement of 11,500 MW of new generation resources to come online in the years 2023-2026, with all the resources coming from zero-emitting sources or non-fossil fuel resources. LCE’s MTR requirement for the four-year period is 36 MW. All LSEs must contract for clean resources, such as renewable energy, stand-alone battery storage, renewable energy plus battery storage, and demand response. Contracts must be for ten years or greater from the initial project delivery to the end of the term.
To meet the requirements of the Mid-Term Reliability Order, California Choice Energy CC 13

JC
Authority (CalChoice) joined with Desert Community Energy and Clean Energy Alliance to issue a joint Request for Proposals for MTR in January 2022. Over 100 unique offers from 22 developers were received. Additionally, CalChoice on behalf of LCE and its other member agencies continues to seek out projects that meet the MTR requirements and engage in bilateral negotiations.
CalChoice and its legal and technical team have negotiated an agreement with developer esVolta for the Santa Paula Energy Storage, LLC project (Santa Paula Energy Storage). The project is for stand-alone battery storage located in Santa Paula, California with a commercial delivery date of August 2023.
As a condition of the agreement, Santa Paula Energy Storage recognizes and accepts the secured deposit account in the name of the City of Lancaster (City) as credit and collateral, and no other security or credit backing by the City will be required. Upon approval by the City and CalChoice, Santa Paula Energy Storage will execute a joinder to the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement, ensuring the protection of the City’s General Fund.
The agreement does not fulfill the entire MTR requirement; therefore, staff will be returning in the upcoming months with additional contract approval requests.

STAFF REPORT
City of Lancaster
CC 14
5/24/2022
JC
Date: May 24, 2022
To: Mayor Parris and City Council Members
From: George N. Harris II, Director of Finance/IT
Subject: Approve Resolution Authorizing the City of Lancaster to enter into the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement relating to the California Cooperative Liquid Assets Securities System (CLASS) and to invest excess cash assets in shares of the California CLASS
Recommendation:
A. Approve Resolution No. 22-18, Authorizing the City of Lancaster to enter into the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement relating to the California Cooperative Liquid Assets Securities System (CLASS) and to invest excess cash assets in shares of the California CLASS
B. Authorize the City Manager and/or his designee the Finance Director to participate as a founding member of the California CLASS JPA and to direct investments in California CLASS within the guidance of the City’s investment policy and California State Code Section 53601.
Fiscal Impact:
The level of investment in the California Class program is determined based on the City’s investment strategy in accordance with the City’s investment policy. The exactly level of investment is not known at this time but will be done in a manner that achieves the City’s investment priorities as follows: 1) Preservation of capital; 2) Liquidity; 3) Return, in that order.
Background:
The California Cooperative Liquid Assets Securities System (California CLASS) is a joint exercise of powers entity that will be formed pursuant to Section 6509.7 of the Joint Powers Act. As a local government investment pool (LGIP), California CLASS will allow participating public agencies to invest funds in a professionally managed pooled investment program that complies with the requirements of California law, specifically California Government Code Section 53601.
California CLASS will be a public agency and entity separate and apart from the Founding Participants.
9 1
0 California CLASS will offer two funds: Prime and Enhanced Cash. Prime is a stable $1.00 Net Asset Value fund that offers daily liquidity, whereas Enhanced Cash is a variable Net Asset Value fund that offers next-day liquidity and affords Participants the opportunity to gain exposure to longer maturity securities. California CLASS will manage Prime in a manner consistent with the AAAm rating guidelines by S&P Global Ratings, while Enhanced Cash will be managed in a manner consistent with the AAAf/S1 rating guidelines by FitchRatings.
The Investment Advisor and Administrator to California CLASS will be Public Trust Advisors (Public Trust). Public Trust brings over a decade of LGIP administration and investment advisory experience and expertise to California public agencies. Public Trust Advisors serve over 5,400 local governments in 16 LGIPs with over $50B assets under management. The primary business focus at Public Trust is LGIPs, and with this focus comes a deep commitment to the business domains upon which successful LGIP investment programs are built: fund administration; investment advisory services; fund accounting and transfer agency technologies; transaction portal development and improvement; marketing and distribution; client services; and, reporting and transparency. Public Trust’s dedication to the LGIP market has resulted in increased operational efficiencies that facilitate a lower cost structure; these cost savings are ultimately passed on to the investor in the form of additional interest income.
While there are undoubtedly excellent cash management options in California, additional diversification is always a positive development for any given set of public funds investors. Choice implies flexibility for the end-user, and competition creates cost savings for public agencies with respect to investment alternatives. Below are some of the key features of California CLASS from which California cities would benefit:
▪ Interest income accrues daily and pays monthly
▪ No ACH or wire fees and no minimum balances
▪ User-friendly Participant portal for transactions
▪ Participant-to-Participant transfers
▪ Unlimited subaccounts, transactions, and future-dated transactions up to one year ▪ Managed by city and public agency peers
The League of California Cities (CALCities) Board of Directors had determined that they will sponsor California CLASS to its multi-City membership and has been provided the opportunity to participate in the founding of California CLASS, which includes the opportunity to appoint two members to the inaugural 5-member Board of Trustees. CALCities has recommended that George Harris, Finance Director, be one of the two appointees. As such, the City of Lancaster shall have an inaugural board member on the California Class Board of Trustees and be an inaugural member of the JPA. As the City of Lancaster is the “City of Firsts,” this opportunity is consistent with the City’s approach in many other past, current and future ventures.

INTERESTS OF PARTICIPANTS
8.1 General
The California CLASS, in its discretion, may authorize the division of the Investment Property into one or more Funds as provided in Section 6.4 hereof. The beneficial interests of the Participants hereunder in a Fund and the earnings thereon shall be divided into Shares.
Shares shall be used as units to measure the proportionate allocation to the respective Participants of the beneficial interests of a Fund. As required by Section 6509.7 of the Act, each Share shall represent an equal proportionate interest in the Investment Property within a Fund. The number of Shares that may be used to measure and represent the proportionate allocation of beneficial interests among the Participants in a Fund is unlimited. All Shares in a Fund shall be of one class representing equal distribution, liquidation, and other rights. The beneficial interests measured by the Shares shall not entitle a Participant to preference, preemptive, appraisal, conversion, or exchange rights of any kind with respect to the California CLASS Investment Program or the Investment Property held in the applicable Fund.
Title to the Investment Property held in the applicable Fund of every description is vested in the California CLASS. The Participants shall have no interest in the Investment Property held in the applicable Fund other than the beneficial interests conferred hereby and measured by their Shares, and they shall have no right to call for any partition or division of any property, profits, rights, or interests of the California CLASS.
8.2 Allocation of Shares

In connection wi th any allocation of Shares, the California CLASS may allocate fractional Shares. From time to time, the California CLASS may adjust the total number of Shares allocated without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interests in the Investment Property held in the applicable Fund. Reductions or increases in the number of allocated Shares may be made in order to maintain a constant net asset value per Share as set forth in Section 10.1 hereof for constant net asset value Funds. Shares shall be allocated and redeemed as one hundredths (1/100ths) of a Share or any multiple thereof. (b) Shares may be allocated only to a Partic ipant in accordance with this Agreement.
Any Participant may establish more than one Account within the California CLASS Investment Program or any Fund thereof for such Participant’s convenience.
