DATE: June 15, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Raylette Felton, Interim City Manager
PREPARED BY: Yvette Palomo, Assistant City Clerk
SUBJECT: Amendment to City’s Conflict of Interest Code

BACKGROUND
The Political Reform Act was adopted by the people of the state of California in 1974. The legislative intent of the act was, in part, that the "assets and income of public officials which may be materially affected by their official actions should be disclosed and in appropriate circumstances the officials should be disqualified from acting in order that conflicts of interest may be avoided." The act requires members of the City Council, City Manager, City Attorney, City Treasurer (Director of Finance) and Planning Commissioners to disclose all assets and income that might be materially affected by their decisions. The act also requires that every agency "adopt and promulgate" a conflict of interest code. Such codes designate other officials who are required to disclose certain financial interests by filing Statements of Economic Interests (Form 700).

The main sections of the City's conflict of interest code are comprised of the following:

The officials who are required to file a Form 700; and
The specific types of financial interests they must disclose.

The Political Reform Act requires every local government agency to review its Conflict of Interest Code of Designated Positions and reporting categories every two years to determine if it is accurate or, alternatively, if an amendment is required. A conflict of interest code tells public officials, governmental employees, and consultants what financial interests they must disclose on their Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700).

On or before July 1 of each even-numbered year, the code reviewing body (the City Council) must notify their jurisdiction to review its conflict of interest code. On May 18, 2026, the City Council was notified of the requirement to review its conflict of interest code.

By October 1, 2026, a Local Agency Biennial Notice must be filed with the code reviewing body indicating whether an amendment is necessary. On June 15, 2026, the code reviewing body (the City Council) was notified that an amendment was necessary and a Local Agency Biennial Notice was filed with the City Council. Within 90 days of filing the Local Agency Biennial Notice, any amendments must be submitted for approval by the City Council.

The City's current conflict of interest code (attached) was last approved by the City Council in August 2024.

STAFF REVIEW
In designing its conflict of interest code, a public agency must determine what types of financial interests might be affected by any particular official's actions. The agency must specifically tailor its conflict of interest code so as not to require the reporting of financial interests that cannot be affected by the public official's actions.

Each position listed in the code is required to report only those types of financial interests which might be affected by their making or participating in the making of governmental decisions.

The amended conflict of interest code was reviewed by the respective Department Director, Interim City Manager, City Attorney and the Assistant City Clerk. The following are the recommended changes:

Add New Position to Conflict of Interest Code Department Disclosure Category Public Safety Officer Municipal Services 4(a),(b)
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. CC-2606-033 which would incorporate this amendment. If the City Council believes that other positions should be designated in the code or that the incumbent in a position already designated in the code should disclose different financial interests than currently required by the code, City Council should direct staff accordingly.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the proposed amendment; and reviewed the resolution and approved as to form.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. CC-2606-033 amending the City’s conflict of interest code and rescinding Resolution No. CC-2408-092.

FAIR POLITICAL PRACTICES COMMISSION
2026 Conflict of Interest Code
Biennial Notice Instructions for Local Agencies
The Political Reform Act requires every local government agency to review its conflict of interest code biennially. A conflict of interest code tells public officials, governmental employees, and consultants what financial interests they must disclose on their Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700).

By July 1, 2026: The code reviewing body must notify agencies and special districts within its jurisdiction to review their conflict of interest codes.

By October 1, 2026: The biennial notice must be filed with the agency’s code reviewing body.

The FPPC has prepared a 2026 Local Agency Biennial Notice form for local agencies to complete or send to agencies within its jurisdiction to complete before submitting to the code reviewing body. The City Council is the code reviewing body for city agencies. The County Board of Supervisors is the code reviewing body for county agencies and any other local government agency whose jurisdiction is determined to be solely within the county (e.g., school districts, including certain charter schools). The FPPC is the code reviewing body for any agency with jurisdiction in more than one county and will contact them.

The Local Agency Biennial Notice is not forwarded to the FPPC.

If amendments to an agency’s conflict of interest code are necessary, the amended code must be forwarded to the code reviewing body for approval within 90 days. An agency’s amended code is not effective until it has been approved by the code reviewing body.

If you answer yes, to any of the questions below, your agency’s code probably needs to be amended.
• Is the current code more than five years old?
• Have there been any substantial changes to the agency’s organizational structure since the last code was approved?
• Have any positions been eliminated or re-named since the last code was approved? • Have any new positions been added since the last code was approved? • Have there been any substantial changes in duties or responsibilities for any positions since the last code was approved?
If you have any questions or are still not sure if you should amend your agency’s conflict of interest code, please contact the FPPC. Additional information including an online webinar regarding how to amend a conflict of interest code is available on FPPC’s website. www.fppc.ca.gov

DATE: June 15, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Raylette Felton, Interim City Manager
PREPARED BY: Jason Minter, Community Services Director
SUBJECT: Approval of FY 2026-2028 Class Instructor Agreements

BACKGROUND
The Community Services Department (CSD) facilitates recreation-based classes for both Lawndale and nonLawndale residents on an annual basis. These classes include gymnastics, karate, art and dance, as well as senior focused classes including Zumba and chair yoga.

On July 15, 2024, staff recommended and City Council approved 2-year agreements with four (4) different contractors with a total not-to-exceed amount of $110,000. These agreements have allowed the CSD to offer over 150 recreation-based classes per year including more than 1,500 participant enrollments that are all held in the Harold E. Hofmann Community Center.

In addition to the four agreements mentioned above, the CSD also entered into agreements with two other contractors, Amalea Joy Fisher, LLC, and OPUS Ventures, LLC, to provide senior fitness classes, however those agreements fell below the City Manager's approval authority and did not require City Council's approval.

STAFF REVIEW
The CSD would like to continue to offer its recreation based classes over the next two (2) fiscal years, including FY26-27 and FY27-28. CSD staff have met with each of the contractors to review class performance, marketing, registration, and any issues to ensure that contractors and staff are aligned in terms of programming and facility usage.

Currently there are six (6) instructors scheduled to provide classes in FY26-27, four (4) of which have a value that is expected to be higher than the City Manager's approval threshold of $15,000. Each of the attached agreements are for amounts that are consistent with the revenues received by the CSD through the class registration process.

Each contractor that holds classes in the Harold E. Hofmann Community Center submits invoices each session with a deduction of $25.00 per hour for their facility use during the contract period. In FY 2024-25 instructor facility use revenue was approximately $20,200 for approximately 818 programming hours, while in FY 2025-26, instructor facility use revenue is estimate to be approximately $17,000 for approximately 681 programming hours.

The chart below shows each contractor along with the types of classes that are offered, the instructor, and the recommended amount of the agreement:

Contractor Programs/Classes Amount

$18,000
Just Dance Company,

Classes

Totals N/A $135,000
As mentioned above, there are two agreements that do not require City Council approval as they are not expected to exceed the City Manager's approval limit of $15,000. Should these classes grow or exceed expectations they would come before the City Council for approval. These agreements are:

Contractor Programs/Classes Amount
Amalea Joy Fisher,
LLC
Senior Fitness/Yoga
Classes
$12,580
OPUS Ventures, LLC Zumba Classes $8,670
Totals N/A $21,250

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed the agreements and approved them as to form.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for these agreements are included in the FY26-27 General Fund Operating Budget.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff are recommending that City Council approve contract service agreements with the Chapala Dance Academy ($60,000), Duncan's Soo Bahk Do ($22,000), Elysian Arts and Events ($18,000), and Just Dance Company ($35,000), for a total amount not-to-exceed $135,000.

Any prohibited assignment or transfer is void.

3.7. Independent Contractor. The City will not have any control over the manner, mode, or means by which Instructor performs the classes at the City facility under this Agreement except as described in this Agreement. Instructor will teach the classes as an independent contractor. Instructor will not at any time or in any manner represent that it or any of its employees or staff are employees of City. Instructor represents and warrants that the personnel used to teach the classes in the City facility pursuant to this Agreement are classified by Instructor as employees. In the event that Instructor or any employee of Instructor using the City facility under this Agreement claims or is determined by a federal or state agency, a court of competent jurisdiction, or the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (“CalPERS”) to be classified as other than an independent contractor for the City, then Instructor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City for the payment of any and all assessed fines, penalties, judgments, employee and/or employer contributions, and any other damages and costs assessed to the City as a consequence of, or in any way attributable to, the assertion that Instructor or any staff of Instructor used to teach classes at a City facility are employees of the City.

Instructor must not promote classes other than the classes Instructor offers at the City, whether by word of mouth, flyers, or other printed materials, while teaching classes at City facilities.

(a) Commercial General Liability Insurance. A policy of commercial general liability insurance using Insurance Services Office "Commercial General Liability" policy form CG 00 01, with an edition date prior to 2004, or the exact equivalent. Coverage for an additional insured must not be limited to its vicarious liability. Defense costs must be paid in addition to limits. Limits must be no less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence and $2,000,000.00 aggregate. Additionally, the City and each of its officers, employees and agents must be mentioned as additional insureds and each insurance certificate must be accompanied by all applicable additional insured endorsement pages.
(b) Workers' Compensation Insurance. A policy of workers' compensation insurance on a state-approved policy form providing statutory benefits as required by law with employer's liability limits no less than $1,000,000.00 per accident for all covered 5 Chapala Dance Academy, LLC
Cultural Dance Classes
FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28
losses. However, this requirement will not apply if Instructor has no employees and Instructor provides the letter signed under penalty of perjury as described in Section 1.2. (c) Sexual Misconduct/ Molestation Liability Insurance. A policy of sexual misconduct/molestation liability insurance appropriate to the Instructor’s profession, with limits no less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence plus $2,000,000.00 aggregate. (d) Automotive Insurance. A policy of comprehensive automobile liability insurance written on a per occurrence basis will not be required as Instructor is not required to use an automobile in connection with the use of a City facility under this Agreement.

However, Instructor understands that automobile insurance and/or financial responsibility is required on any vehicle operated or parked on California roadways. Instructor agrees that s/he will carry evidence of automobile insurance and/or financial responsibility in her/his vehicle at all times and that proof of same must be provided as specified: when requested by law enforcement; when renewing vehicle registration; when the vehicle is involved in a traffic collision. Accordingly, Instructor agrees that if s/he will be driving a vehicle to commute to or otherwise in connection with the classes provided pursuant to the Agreement, Instructor must comply with the following:

Minimum liability insurance requirements for private passenger vehicles (per California Insurance Code Section 11580.1b):
• $15,000 for injury/death to one person;
• $30,000 for injury/death to more than one person; and • $5,000 for damage to property.

Liability insurance compensates a person other than the policy holder for personal injury or property damage. Comprehensive or collision insurance does not meet vehicle financial responsibility requirements.

The following are acceptable types of insurance/financial responsibility:
• A motor vehicle liability insurance policy;
• A cash deposit of $35,000 with DMV;
• A DMV issued self-insurance certificate; or
• A surety bond for $35,000 from a company licensed to do business in California.

If the Instructor maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or higher limits maintained by the Instructor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.

Said policies of insurance must not be cancelled without providing 10 days' prior written notice by registered mail to the City. In the event any of the policies of insurance are cancelled or amended, prior to the cancellation or amendment date, Instructor must submit new evidence of 6 Chapala Dance Academy, LLC
Cultural Dance Classes
FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28
insurance in conformance with this Section to the Director of Community Services. Use of the City facility pursuant to this Agreement may not begin until Instructor has provided City with and City’s Risk Manager has approved of the Certificates of Insurance or appropriate insurance binders evidencing the required insurance coverage.

Instructor agrees that the provisions of this Section will not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which Instructor may be held responsible for the payment of damages to any persons or property resulting from Instructor's activities or the activities of any person or persons for which Instructor is otherwise responsible.

The insurance required by this Agreement will only be satisfactory if issued by companies (a) qualified to do business in California, (b) rated "A" or better in the most recent edition of Best Rating Guide or The Key Rating, and (c) of a financial category Class VII or better, unless such requirements are waived by the City’s Risk Manager due to unique circumstances.

3.9. Notice. Any notice or communication either party desires or is required to give to the other party or any other person must be in writing and either served personally or sent by prepaid, first-class mail, in the case of the City, to the City Manager at City of Lawndale 14717 Burin Avenue, Lawndale, California 90260, and in the case of the Instructor at the address designated on the execution page of this Agreement.

3.10. Severability. In the event that part of this Agreement is declared invalid or unenforceable by a valid judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any of the remaining portions of this Agreement which portions are declared as severable and interpreted to carry out the intent of the parties unless the invalid provision is so material that its invalidity deprives either party of the basic benefit of their bargain or renders this Agreement meaningless.

3.11. Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy will impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. A party's consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the party's consent or approval will not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the other party's consent to or approval of any subsequent act. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and will not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

3.12. Attorneys' Fees. If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, will be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees, whether or not the matter proceeds to judgment.

PREPARED BY: Jason Minter, Community Services Director
SUBJECT: Second Amendment to Agreement with Just Dance Company, LLC

BACKGROUND
Prior to the start of FY2024-2025, staff brought forward a request to City Council to approve a two-year agreement with Just Dance Company, LLC, for the provision of youth gymnastics classes in the Harold E. Hofmann Community Center. The agreement included an annual not-to-exceed amount of $20,000 per fiscal year.

In Fiscal Year 2024-25, Just Dance Classes finished the year with 499 total enrollments and 140 hours of facility usage. This equated to just under $20,000 for the fiscal year.

In Fiscal Year 2025-26, Just Dance Classes have already completed 561 enrollments, and are on pace to have nearly 800 enrollments and 180 hours of usage through the end of the Spring classes in June.

STAFF REVIEW
Due to the popularity of the Just Dance Company gymnastics classes, the contract will be eclipsing the notto-exceed amount for Fiscal Year 2025-26, including the additional $7,500 increase that was approved by City Council in the First Amendment on April 6, 2026. The current projections will include revenue for each enrollment as well as additional revenue for each hour of facility use. Staff have prepared the Second Amendment to the agreement with Just Dance Company, LLC, to increase the not-to-exceed amount of the agreement from $27,500 to $31,000 for FY2025-26 (Attachment A).

Staff have been very pleased with the growth of the Just Dance Company gymnastics classes and are continuing work with them to find ways to reach more youth in the community. Just Dance Company Manager JaVonda Jones continues to work with the Community Services Department by supporting not only the classes but through the City's Special Events as well. Just Dance Company dancers have performed at the City's Blues Festival, the Angel Tree Lighting Event, and the Heart and Soul Music Festival.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed the second amendment and approved it as to form.

FISCAL IMPACT
Contract Services funds are available in the Community Services Department's operating budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26. No additional budget amendment is needed.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff Recommend that the City Council approve the Second Amendment to the Contract Services Agreement with Just Dance Company, LLC, for Gymnastics Classes increasing the not to exceed amount from $27,500 to $31,000 for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

PREPARED BY: Yvette Palomo, Assistant City Clerk
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting Schedule for Independence Day and Labor Day Holidays

BACKGROUND
The City Council has in the past expressed an option to cancel City Council meetings that are close to or occur on City observed holidays and for which no pressing business is anticipated. In addition, advance approval of the cancellation or rescheduling of City Council meetings allows the City Council, the public and staff to adequately plan and schedule agenda items for future meeting dates.

At the November 3, 2026, City Council meeting the City Council reviewed the 2026 calendar of City Council meeting dates. At this meeting, the City Council requested that staff bring back the meeting schedule for Council's consideration of rescheduling or canceling two meetings due to the Independence Day and Labor Day holidays.

STAFF REVIEW
The following City Council meeting dates are close to or occur on a City observed holiday and will need to be canceled with the City Council’s approval:

Monday, July 6, 2026, due to Independence Day on Saturday, July 4, 2026 Monday, September 7, 2026, due to Labor Day
The City Council may wish to consider rescheduling some, or all, of the above-referenced meetings to the next day (Tuesday).

A review of the upcoming agenda items by staff found no pressing agenda items for the meetings listed above. At this time, canceling the meetings will not present any impact to operations or City business. If canceled, staff would ensure that necessary business is addressed at meetings prior to or following the canceled meeting(s) and plan accordingly. If unforeseen urgent business needs to be addressed, a special meeting could always be called if the City Council does decide to cancel one or more of the scheduled meetings.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved this report.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Cancel the regularly scheduled City Council meetings on July 6, 2026, and September 7, 2026, due to City-observed holidays; or

2. Cancel the regularly scheduled City Council meetings on July 6, 2026, and September 7, 2026, and reschedule some, or all, of the meetings to the following day (Tuesday); or

3. Provide the Interim City Manager and staff with alternative direction.

Authorize Agreement with SMART Compliance, LLC for SB 1383 Compliance Management Software and Support Services

BACKGROUND
Senate Bill (SB) 1383 established statewide regulations requiring jurisdictions to implement and document extensive organics recycling, edible food recovery, contamination monitoring, education and outreach, inspection, enforcement, and annual reporting activities. The regulations require cities to maintain detailed records demonstrating compliance with numerous State mandates, including route reviews, container contamination monitoring, generator inspections, waiver tracking, Notices of Violation (NOVs), edible food recovery program implementation, and annual reporting to CalRecycle. Failure to maintain adequate documentation or demonstrate compliance may expose the City to State enforcement actions and administrative penalties.

Currently, the City relies heavily on our Republic Services to provide commercial service level data and compliance-related information. While Republic Services maintains its own internal tracking systems, City staff does not have direct access to the hauler’s software platform or underlying compliance data. As a result, the City’s ability to independently track compliance activities, conduct detailed data analysis, maintain defensible Implementation Records, and efficiently manage inspections and enforcement activities is limited.

In addition, the City currently relies on manual tracking methods, spreadsheets, and separate record-keeping systems that are time-consuming and increase the risk of incomplete documentation during a CalRecycle audit or compliance review. The implementation of a dedicated SB 1383 compliance software platform would provide the City with direct access to compliance data, centralized record-keeping capabilities, and improved operational efficiency in managing the City’s SB 1383 program requirements.

STAFF REVIEW
Staff reviewed proposals from three vendors that provide SB 1383 compliance management software:

SMART1383 by SMART Compliance (Attachment 1), Minerva by MSW Consultants (Attachment 2), and Routeware/Recyclist (Attachment 3). Each software platform is designed to help jurisdictions track compliance activities, maintain required records, and prepare regulatory reports. Staff evaluated each proposal based on cost, software features, reporting capabilities, route review and inspection tools, enforcement tracking, data management, and the ability to support the City's long-term SB 1383 compliance needs. While all three systems offer compliance tracking and reporting functions, they differ significantly in cost, functionality, and overall operational capabilities.

Minerva offers strong SB 1383 compliance tracking, reporting, record-keeping, and data analysis at the lowest annual cost of the three proposals. The software is especially beneficial for jurisdictions that work with multiple waste haulers and have complex commercial service arrangements. Because the City of Lawndale is served by a single franchise hauler, many of these advanced multi-hauler features are not necessary for the City's operations. While Minerva provides excellent reporting and data management tools, it is more focused on compliance tracking than on supporting field activities such as route reviews, inspections, and enforcement efforts.

SMART1383 was determined to be the best overall fit for the City’s operational goals and compliance program needs. In addition to comprehensive SB 1383 Reporting and Implementation Record functionality, SMART1383 includes integrated tools specifically designed for route reviews, contamination monitoring, inspections, waiver tracking, Notices of Violation, enforcement activities, edible food recovery tracking, GIS-integrated field applications, and task management. The system allows field staff to document inspections and route reviews in real time using mobile-friendly applications, upload photographs directly into the system, generate standardized enforcement notices, track follow-up actions, and automatically store records within the City’s Implementation Record. The platform also streamlines Electronic Annual Reporting (EAR) requirements by automatically organizing and compiling compliance-related activities and supporting documentation.

Routeware/Recyclist is a large-scale compliance and operational management platform that offers structured implementation services and compliance tracking features. However, the proposal includes the highest annual cost of the three systems, additional potential implementation and integration costs, and functionality that exceeds the City’s current operational needs.

* Five-year cost reflects the pricing option proposed by each vendor. SMART Compliance and Minerva waive their setup fees under their respective five-year subscription options.

Although Minerva offers the lowest annual subscription cost, SMART1383 provides significantly enhanced functionality related to route reviews, inspections, contamination monitoring, enforcement tracking, task management, and automated record-keeping. Given the City's planned expansion of SB 1383 inspection and enforcement activities, staff believes the additional $3,000 annually represents a reasonable investment that will improve operational efficiency, strengthen compliance documentation, and better support long-term program management.

The SMART1383 compliance software subscription is proposed as a five-year agreement at an annual cost of $20,000 per year, for a total five-year cost of $100,000. The proposal also includes a waived one-time setup fee under the five-year subscription option. Funding for the software subscription and implementation will be provided through the Solid Waste AB 939 Revenue Fund 276.

Staff recommends a five-year subscription term because SB 1383 compliance is an ongoing State-mandated program requiring long-term data collection, trend analysis, record-keeping, inspections, contamination monitoring, waiver tracking, enforcement documentation, and annual reporting. Establishing a consistent software platform over multiple years will allow the City to develop reliable historical compliance records, maintain continuity in data tracking, and create a defensible Implementation Record for future CalRecycle audits and compliance reviews. Other cities that utilize SMART Compliance include City of Culver City, City of Downey, City of Burbank, City of Oxnard, and City of Beverly Hills.

A longer-term agreement also provides operational stability by allowing staff to establish standardized workflows, inspection procedures, and reporting practices without the disruption and inefficiencies associated with transitioning between software systems after a short-term period. In addition, maintaining long-term consistency in route review data, contamination monitoring trends, enforcement activities, and outreach records will improve the City’s ability to evaluate program effectiveness, identify recurring compliance issues, and demonstrate measurable progress toward SB 1383 compliance goals over time.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed the agreement and approved as to form.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost of SMART Compliance software is $100,000, which will be paid upfront using the Solid Waste AB 939 Revenue Fund 276 to cover a five-year subscription. Therefore, a budget amendment in account 276-310-530.100 (AB939 Contract Services) is needed. There is no impact to the General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Approve a Professional Services Agreement with SMART Compliance, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $100,000, for the implementation, licensing, support, and maintenance of the SMART1383 compliance tracking and record keeping software platform for a five-year term; and

2. Approve a budget amendment for $100,000 from Fund 276 (AB 939 Funds) to account number 276- 310-530.100 Contract Services to fund the purchase, implementation, and ongoing support services associated with the SMART1383 compliance software.

17 Accessibility
Our compliance software is optimized for modern web browsers and functions reliably on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari. The platform has been tested across these browsers to ensure a consistent and responsive user experience for agency staff, haulers, and contractors. Our compliance software is designed and developed to meet or exceed WCAG 2.2 AA standards. The platform has been put through and passed a full VPAT by an independent third party. The results of the VPAT and additional accessibility information can be found here: https://smartcompliance.tech/accessibility/.

While we do not currently offer a standalone Android or iOS app for the Generator Manager the web application is fully responsive and performs well on tablets and larger smartphones, allowing users to access and manage records in the field.

Additionally, our platform includes ArcGIS Survey123-based field apps— compatible with both Android and iOS—for performing route reviews, inspections, and other field activities. These apps have been put through a full VPAT audit by ESRI. The apps have also been used for years in the field and integrate seamlessly with the main compliance tracking system. The Route Review App has been successfully used on a variety of tablets including Samsung and Apple to conduct thousands of route reviews across California.

Please note that although most core features are accessible via mobile 18 browsers, certain administrative functions—such as bulk data uploads, complex filtering, and full dashboard visualizations—are best performed on desktop or laptop devices due to interface complexity and screen size. 19 Quote

20 Data Uploads
The SMART system supports both real-time data editing by authorized users and data imports via spreadsheets. Additionally, SMART offers an Application Programming Interface (API) that can be configured to integrate with most hauler billing or customer management systems.

We support monthly data uploads, typically processed within 24–48 hours of receipt. During the initial setup, a SMART Data Engineer will configure the system to interpret each hauler's dataset, including unique service level codes. Our AIdriven data integrity tools are designed to match accounts accurately and efficiently. Each client portal is tailored to handle hauler-specific data uploads and reporting requirements, significantly reducing the time and errors typically associated with revised datasets.

In between data uploads, authorized users can continue to update service level information in generator accounts. The SMART system logs every service level update, including the user who performed the changes, allowing for easy tracking of system changes.

Following each data upload, a list of terminated/removed accounts will be provided for verification. Additionally, all terminated accounts along with their complete data records and history are maintained and can be reactivated by any authorized user with one click.

4.4. System Features
25 System Features
SMART Solutions for All SB 1383 Requirements
SMART1383 is designed to fully integrate all data and
recordkeeping functions for businesses and jurisdictions that manage solid waste programs. The system's base model
provides a robust platform for tracking all programmatic aspects of SB 1383.
26 Generator Manager
The Generator Manager (GM) is the central component of the SMART1383 System. It tracks all essential generator data, including tier and business types, waiver statuses, service levels, inspections, compliance records, enforcement actions, outreach and education efforts, and activity logs.

The GM interface features user-friendly, pre-designed forms, automated PDF templates, integrated photo/file storage, and SMART automation tools that streamline task management. All recorded information is automatically synced to the integrated Implementation Record, reducing redundancy and simplifying recordkeeping.
27 SMART1383 is designed to fully integrate all data and recordkeeping functions for businesses and jurisdictions that manage solid waste programs. The system's base model
provides a robust platform for tracking all programmatic aspects of SB 1383.

Waiver Tracking
Waiver tracking is streamlined and efficient. Each waiver assessment is linked to a specific generator, with
recommendations automatically routed to authorized users for approval or denial.

Upcoming waiver expirations are clearly displayed on the KPI dashboard, helping users identify when reassessments are due. Field assessors can improve efficiency by leveraging “hotspot” features on data maps to prioritize their work.

All waiver-related data, including photos, files, and
automatically generated PDF documents, is securely stored in the generator profile and the Implementation Record for comprehensive historical tracking
28 29
Inspections & Enforcement
SMART1383 features a fully integrated compliance and
enforcement module. The system includes pre-designed,
customizable inspection forms, follow-up letters, notices of violation, and citation templates. It can operate as a standalone enforcement system or as a tool for tracking broader code enforcement activities.

The system supports integration of jurisdiction-specific municipal codes, including infractions and corrective actions. Jurisdictions can incorporate both SB 1383 regulations and local
environmental codes, enabling centralized tracking of all relevant compliance activities. Additionally, agencies can customize which documents are automatically recorded in the Implementation Record.
30 31
Edible Food Recovery
SMART1383 offers robust edible food recovery tracking to support efficient recordkeeping and capacity planning. Integrated mapping tools enable seamless GIS integration, helping food generators and recovery organizations connect more effectively.

An available API integration with Careit* further streamlines edible food tracking and documentation (*Careit subscription required).
32 Route Reviews
SMART1383 features a powerful route review system that
streamlines contamination tracking and provides jurisdictions with actionable insights to enhance recycling efforts. Integrated GIS mapping highlights contamination hot spots and identifies materials that should be prioritized in outreach and education campaigns.

The system automates the entire contamination monitoring process—including data collection, photo documentation, compliant record preparation, and generator education—into a single, efficient workflow.

Additionally, SMART1383 supports batch importing of third-party route review data, including integration with Zabble* (*Zabble subscription required).
33 Reporting and Analytics
SMART1383 simplifies the storage, analysis, and export of compliance data, giving users quick access to actionable insights. The system includes built-in dashboards and reporting tools that allow users to filter and visualize data by jurisdiction, hauler, or compliance category in real time. Interactive charts and graphs make it easy to identify trends, track progress, and pinpoint areas needing attention.

All generator data, inspection records, waiver decisions, and food recovery metrics can be exported in Excel-compatible formats for regulatory reporting or internal review. Whether managing SB 1383 implementation records, tracking edible food recovery efforts, or monitoring outreach activities, SMART1383 transforms complex datasets into clear, useful intelligence that supports timely decision-making and compliance reporting. makes storing, analyzing, and exporting data a snap.

SMART1383’s newest report is the annual program compliance report which performs a desk audit of compliance as required by the regulations.
34 Re
35 Implementation Recordkeeping and
Electronic Annual Reporting
One of the most notable features of SMART1383 is its ability to automatically record reportable data into the Implementation Record and Electronic Annual Report (EAR) sections. This significantly reduces the administrative burden of manual tracking and spreadsheet management.

The Implementation Record includes a dedicated CalRecycle view, displaying only the relevant system-generated records.

Each year, EAR data is compiled into a downloadable, userfriendly report that simplifies the completion of complex, required calculations.
36 Hauler Manager
SMART1383 has recently deployed a new feature designed to comprehensively track all organic waste haulers, including primary franchise haulers, third-party haulers, backhaulers, and self-haulers.

This system integrates with a jurisdiction’s formal licensing or permitting process but can also function as an ad hoc tool for jurisdictions that internally manage non-franchised organic haulers.

The Hauler Manager tracks a wide range of data, including hauler type, materials collected, collection methods, number and types of containers used, facilities utilized (linked to SWIS), and whether plastic or compostable bags are accepted. It also supports annual compliance inspections, logs communications and activities, and maintains hauler records and reporting history.

Data collected in the Hauler Manager automatically
prepopulates dropdowns in the Generator Manager and
contributes to Electronic Annual Reporting and Implementation Recordkeeping. This ensures that all required information is accurately included in reports with mandated data fields. 37 38
39 Tasks, Activities, and Scheduling
SMART1383 features a comprehensive Tasklogger that streamlines activity tracking, task assignment, and appointment scheduling.

This tool connects all users, creating a structured and efficient system for managing tasks and activities. Users can assign tasks to others, set due dates, upload files and photos, and update entries with follow-up details—all within user-friendly modals.

One of the latest enhancements is an appointment scheduler that automates email notifications and includes an “add-tocalendar” option. Coming in June 2025, a companion map will display both completed and open activities by type, with robust filtering capabilities.

Additionally, the Tasklogger tracks outreach activities and materials distribution, automatically calculating and integrating this data into the Electronic Annual Report (EAR) and
Implementation Record (IR) to support compliance reporting. 40 09

 Tracks the specific organic material types (per SB 1383) generated and the diversion status for each, ensuring that generators have the containers needed to divert organic waste and non-organic recyclables from the landfill.
 Identifies which SLCP collection system (1, 2, 3, 3+, or Other) and SLCP container (gray, blue, green, or brown) a generator may have and identifies what SLCP containers a generator may need to be SLCP compliant.
 Recommend and approve SLCP waivers (jurisdiction & department), MORE/MCR exemptions as well as MORe/MCR alternative compliance methods with status monitoring, issue date tracking, and automatic compliance updates.

Edible Food
 Mark accounts as edible food generators and link them to edible food recoverers.  Dynamic fields determine edible food generator, tier 1, tier 2, or unregulated status. 8  Easy export of commercial edible food generator, an edible food recoverer lists for addition to the Implementation Record.
 Realtime calculation of the total number of commercial edible food generators and recoverers in the jurisdiction.
 Create manual accounts to track edible food recoverers outside of the jurisdiction.

Education and Outreach
 Location or account linked activities such as notes, photos, documents, waivers and more that remain accessible even as haulers change account numbers, services or information.  Facilitates mobile site visit documentation, uploading of documents and photos right from a tablet or mobile device.
 Outreach history per location independent of hauler billing system account level changes.  Saved contacts can be directly emailed to, which promotes ease of communication.

Data Importing System
 MSW works directly with your hauler to obtain commercial and residential compliance related service data.  Data importing using existing consistent hauler billing system data query. No template required. Standard plan includes four (4) imports per year with additional service data imports as often as weekly if needed at no cost.
 Requires consistent data query. New data schema creation fee of $500 per import if non-standard reports are provided by hauler in future periods.

Data and Compliance Management
 Add manual accounts to Minerva™ to:
o Track commercial edible food generators or recoverers that do not have their own hauler service account or are outside of the jurisdiction.

Routeware Inc.’s Gate Checks
Routeware Inc. will develop a project plan to manage the implementation lifecycle and to report on progress. Any requests for deviations to the project plan will be documented, reviewed, and approved by the respective project managers for the Customer and Routeware Inc. In addition, a summary of requested changes will also be reviewed during the scheduled gate check reviews. Changes must be mutually approved by both parties.

As part of its standard and proven project execution, Routeware Inc. will structure the project into several phases designed to ensure success. Routeware Inc. will work collaboratively with the Customer to develop a plan that details requirements, assigns responsibilities, and sets due dates – to best achieve the goal of meeting the designated go-live date with a minimum of business disruption. From the onset of the project, Routeware Inc. will assign a core implementation team.

Routeware Inc. will execute gate check reviews at the completion of the Discover, Design, and Deploy stages of the project lifecycle. The gate check reviews provide the following:

ROUTEWARE INC. CONFIDENTIAL PAGE 3 OF 8
Stage 1 - Discover
The Discover stage includes the comprehensive planning and resource scheduling for the duration of the project, including a review of the approach and governance, the cadence for status reporting, and clarification of roles and responsibilities for Routeware Inc. and Customer project team members. It also includes the requirements confirmation interview, documentation, and approval, along with the initial solution configuration based on Routeware Inc.’s best practices for a specific Customer’s needs, and the import of Customer data.

Stage 2 - Design
The “future state” is documented, reviewed, and approved by the Customer, including a validation of the data imported, upon which time the environment is provisioned, the solution installed, and the Customer provided access to the solution. There will be progressive “targeted” training and begin the solution familiarization process for key users, along with the creation of a validation plan to be used during the Deploy stage. The Routeware Inc. team performs an internal verification that the solution, as configured, is operating properly, and aligns with the approved requirements and future state configuration, reaching the milestone referred to as being “solution complete”.

Stage 3 - Deploy
The Deploy stage includes scenario-based training, followed by the Customer’s end-to-end validation of the solution across business scenarios/use cases identified and configured during the Discover and Design stages. Scenario-based training - typically conducted with Customer-identified “super users” - follows a tell, show, do model, where the individual delivering the training outlines the scenario, then demonstrates the scenario, and finally the super users complete an end-to-end example themselves using the “happy path”, a clean, well-executed process without exceptions. Upon completion of the validation plan, the milestone of “solution acceptance” is confirmed by the Customer. At go-live there is final training and practice for end users and drivers, with a focus on what a user needs to do in the system to complete the duties of a particular role, including handling of typical “operational exceptions” encountered on a day-to-day basis. The final system cutover is performed and Routeware Inc. aids the Customer during the go live event and stabilization period, helping to triage, manage and resolve issues that may arise, followed by a transition to support, and project closeout.

Recommended Product Implementation Order
DISCLAMER:
• All implementation durations noted below are estimates based on previous implementation projects.

Timelines for your implementation of each system will vary based on a number of variables including, but not limited to, data quality, resource availability, and the size/complexity of your operation. • Routeware’s implementation teams will always prioritize quality over speed and will provide and maintain a detailed project plan based on your particular needs and goals.

1. Data Workshop
Completion Time: 4-12+ weeks depending on data quality and integrity. • Routeware’s Project Management and Implementation resources in conjunction with Routeware’s data experts will work in collaboration with your project team to acquire the data required for system configuration from your legacy system in its current state. • Routeware’s data experts will map your data to configure your new system. • Routeware’s implementation team will work with your project team to validate this data work before and after it’s imported.
• Routeware’s project team will work with your project team to create a “Go-Live data refresh” plan to ensure data is refreshed as close to go-live as possible.

Note: While Routeware can map your data to the new system, Routeware’s ability to “Clean” legacy data is limited. Your resources may be required to make adjustments to data within the legacy system.

2. Customer and Operations Management – Smart City
Implementation Time: Date Validated and Complete + 12 weeks • Source of truth for all data related to customers and operations. • These systems will integrate with and/or supply nearly all of the data that additional Routeware products require.
• These systems are the “heaviest lifts” to implement in the Routeware product suite. “It’s all downhill from here.”
• These systems are set up in the image of “How the organization operates today” while keeping potential final state changes to the operation in mind. o Routeware recommends not making any unnecessary changes to existing operational processes to avoid undue stress on end users. E.g. If you’re planning to optimize your route ROUTEWARE INC. CONFIDENTIAL PAGE 6 OF 8
plans and implement on-board computers for drivers as a part of this project, Routeware strongly recommends not implementing both at the same.
o Routeware’s Project Managers will assist your operation with planning the best steps for getting from where you are today to your desired final state.

3. Compliance Tracking – Recyclist, Compliance Publishing Implementation Time: 6-8 weeks
• Implementing Recyclist can technically be done at any time in parallel with other products assuming your implementation resources have enough bandwidth. However, Routeware recommends kicking off the Recyclist implementation following the completion of the Customer and Operations Management system.

4. Customer Communication & Education – ReCollect
Implementation Time: 6-12 weeks depending on modules purchased. • ReCollect can technically be implemented at any time in parallel with other products assuming your implementation resources have enough bandwidth. However, depending on the ReCollect modules purchased, ReCollect will work in concert with your Customer and Operations Management system and as such Routeware recommends starting the ReCollect Implementation following the Customer and Operations Management system implementation to avoid duplication of effort in the provisioning processes.

Assumptions
● All data to be imported will be provided in the Routeware Inc.-approved .csv, .sql or .xml format, and will not require transformation during the import process.
● The Customer will provide adequate resources and key decision makers required to meet tasks associated with implementation milestones.
● The Routeware Inc. project manager will be the primary contact throughout the project, will coordinate the efforts of implementation consultants and subject matter experts (SMEs) throughout the project, and will establish a cadence of status meetings with the Customer. ● The data import process will validate the integrity of the data, and exceptions provided back to the Customer for resolution prior to final import.

Out of Scope
● Interfaces – No interfaces to 3rd party applications are included in this Scope of Work. o If an interface to a 3rd party technology solution is required a secondary SOW will be drafted following process discovery and technical scoping conversations including Routeware, the customer, and the 3rd party technology provider.
● Custom Reports – Reporting is robust across all Routeware Inc. solutions. If you require unique custom reports, those will be scoped separately with an estimate for your consideration. ● Customized development work to any Routeware system.
● Development of non-standard workflows, use cases, or business practices. ● Development of non-standard training documents

SOW Change Order
Changes to a SOW will require a written change order signed by the parties prior to implementation of the changes. Such changes may include, for example, changes to the scope of work and any corresponding changes to the estimated fees and schedule for the performance of the applicable Services. Upon Routeware Inc.’s receipt of a change order request from the Customer, Routeware Inc. will promptly notify the Customer if Routeware Inc. believes that the change order request requires an adjustment to the fees or to the schedule for the performance of the applicable Services. In such an event, the parties will negotiate in good faith a reasonable and equitable adjustment to the fees and/or schedule, as applicable. During such negotiations, Routeware Inc. may continue to perform Services pursuant to the existing SOW and will have no obligation to perform Services pursuant to the change order request unless and until the parties have executed an applicable change order. Any time and materials that are required to evaluate a change order request are billable at Routeware Inc.’s then-current standard rates.

shall refer any decisions which must be made by City to the Contract Officer. The City may designate another Contract Officer by providing written notice to Contractor.

4.3 Prohibition Against Subcontracting or Assignment. The experience, knowledge, capability and reputation of Contractor, its principals and employees were a substantial inducement for the City to enter into this Agreement.

In addition, neither this Agreement nor any interest herein may be transferred or assigned without the prior written approval of City. Transfers restricted hereunder shall include the transfer to any person or group of persons acting in concert of more than twenty five percent (25%) of the present ownership and/or control of Contractor taking all transfers into account on a cumulative basis. A prohibited transfer or assignment shall be void. No approved transfer shall release the Contractor or any surety of Contractor of any liability hereunder without the express consent of City. (a) Independent Contractor. Neither the City nor any of its employees shall have any control over the manner or means by which Contractor or its employees, perform the services required herein, except as otherwise set forth herein. Contractor shall perform all services required herein as an independent contractor of City and shall remain under only such obligations as are consistent with that role. Contractor represents and warrants that the personnel used to provide services to the City pursuant to this Agreement are classified by Contractor as employees. Contractor shall not at any time or in any manner represent that it or any of its employees are employees of City. City shall not in any way or for any purpose become or be deemed to be a partner of Contractor in its business or otherwise or a joint venturer or a member of any joint enterprise with Contractor. In the event that Contractor or any employee of Contractor providing services under this Agreement claims or is determined by a federal or state agency, a court of competent jurisdiction, or the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (“CalPERS”) to be classified as other than an independent contractor for the City, then Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City for the payment of any and all assessed fines, penalties, judgments, employee and/or employer contributions, and any other damages and costs assessed to the City as a consequence of, or in any way attributable to, the assertion that Contractor or any staff used to provide services under this Agreement are employees of the City.

5.0 INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION

5.1 Insurance. Contractor shall procure and maintain, at its sole cost and expense, in a form and content satisfactory to City, during the entire term of this Agreement including any extension thereof, the following policies of insurance:
(a) Commercial General Liability Insurance. A policy of commercial general liability insurance using Insurance Services Office “Commercial General Liability” policy form CG 00 01, with an edition date prior to 2004, or the exact equivalent. Coverage for an additional insured shall not be limited to its vicarious liability. Defense costs must be paid in addition to limits.

(b) Workers’ Compensation Insurance. A policy of workers’ compensation insurance on a state-approved policy form providing statutory benefits as required by law with employer’s liability limits no less than $1,000,000.00 per accident for all covered losses.

SMART COMPLIANCE
LA #4829-0061-8211 v2 5
(c) Automotive Insurance. A policy of comprehensive automobile liability insurance written on a per occurrence basis in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per accident, combined single limit. Said policy shall include coverage for owned, non owned, leased and hired cars. (d) Professional Liability or Error and Omissions Insurance. A policy of $2,000,000 insurance in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per claim with respect to loss arising from the actions of Contractor performing professional services hereunder on behalf of the City. Any policy inception date, continuity date, or retroactive date must be before the effective date of this Agreement and Contractor agrees to maintain continuous coverage through a period no less than three (3) years after completion of the services required by this Agreement.

All of the above policies of insurance shall be primary insurance. The general liability policy shall name the City, its officers, employees and agents (“City Parties”) as additional insureds and shall waive all rights of subrogation and contribution it may have against the City and the City’s Parties and their respective insurers. Moreover, the insurance policy must specify that where the primary insured does not satisfy the self-insured retention, any additional insured may satisfy the self-insured retention.

All of said policies of insurance shall also provide that said insurance may be not cancelled without providing ten (10) days prior written notice by registered mail to the City. In the event any of said policies of insurance are cancelled or amended, Contractor shall, prior to the cancellation or amendment date, submit new evidence of insurance in conformance with this Section 5.1 to the Contract Officer.

No work or services under this Agreement shall commence until Contractor has provided City with Certificates of Insurance or appropriate insurance binders evidencing the above insurance coverages and said Certificates of Insurance or binders are approved by City.

Contractor agrees that the provisions of this Section 5.1 shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which Contractor may be held responsible for the payment of damages to any persons or property resulting from Contractor’s activities or the activities of any person or persons for which Contractor is otherwise responsible. If the Contractor’s insurance policies have higher limits and coverage than those required by this contract, the City will have access to those higher limits and coverage maintained by the Contractor.

The insurance required by this Agreement shall be satisfactory only if issued by companies qualified to do business in California, rated “A” or better in the most recent edition of Best Rating Guide or The Key Rating Guide, and only if they are of a financial category Class VII or better, unless such requirements are waived by the Risk Manager of the City due to unique circumstances.

In the event that the Contractor is authorized to subcontract any portion of the work or services provided pursuant to this Agreement, the contract between the Contractor and such subcontractor shall require the subcontractor to maintain the same policies of insurance that the Contractor is required to maintain pursuant to this Section 5.1.

5.2 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnity for Design Professional Liability. When the law establishes a professional standard of care for Contractor’s services, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and except for the statutory limits set forth under California Civil Code Section 2782.8 applicable to services provided by a “design professional”, Contractor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City and the City’s Parties from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including

SMART COMPLIANCE
LA #4829-0061-8211 v2 6
attorneys’ fees and costs to the extent same are caused in whole or in part by any negligent or wrongful act, error or omission of Contractor, its officers, employees of subcontractors (or any entity or individual for which Contractor shall bear legal liability) in the performance of professional services under this Agreement.
(b) Indemnity for Other Than Design Professional Liability. Other than in the performance of design professional services and to the full extent permitted by law, Contractor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless City and City’s Parties from and against any liability (including liability for claims, suits, actions, losses, expenses or costs of any kind, whether actual, alleged or threatened, including attorneys’ fees and costs, court costs, defense costs and expert witness fees), where the same arise out of, are a consequence of, or are in any way attributable to, in whole or in part, the performance of this Agreement by Contractor or by any individual or entity for which Contractor is legally liable, including but not limited to officers, employees, or subcontractors of Contractor.

6.0 RECORDS AND REPORTS

6.1 Reports. Contractor shall periodically prepare and submit to the Contract Officer such reports concerning the performance of the services required by this Agreement as the Contract Officer shall require.

6.2 Records. Contractor shall keep, and require subcontractors to keep, such books and records as shall be necessary to perform the services required by this Agreement and enable the Contract Officer to evaluate the performance of such services. The Contract Officer shall have full and free access to such books and records at all times during normal business hours of City, including the right to inspect, copy, audit and make records and transcripts from such records. Such records shall be maintained for a period of three (3) years following completion of the services hereunder, and the City shall have access to such records in the event any audit is required.

6.3 Ownership of Documents. All drawings, specifications, reports, records, documents and other materials prepared by Contractor, its employees and subcontractors in the performance of this Agreement shall be the property of City and shall be delivered to City upon request of the Contract Officer or upon the termination of this Agreement and Contractor shall have no claim for further employment or additional compensation as a result of the exercise by City of its full rights of ownership of such documents and materials. Contractor may retain copies of such documents for its own use and Contractor shall have an unrestricted right to use the concepts embodied therein. All subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any documents or materials prepared by them, and in the event Contractor fails to secure such assignment, Contractor shall indemnify City for all damages resulting therefrom. Except as necessary for the performance of services under this Agreement, no documents prepared under this Agreement may be released by Contractor to any other person or entity without City’s prior written approval.

6.4 Confidentiality of Information. All information gained or work product produced by Contractor in performance of this Agreement will be considered confidential, unless such information is in the public domain or already known to Contractor. Contractor may not release or disclose any such information or work product to persons or entities other than City without prior written authorization from the City Manager, except as may be required by law. Contractor, its officers, employees, or agents, may not, without prior written authorization from the City Manager or unless requested by the City Attorney of City, voluntarily provide declarations, letters of support, testimony at depositions, response

SMART COMPLIANCE
LA #4829-0061-8211 v2 7
to interrogatories or other information concerning the services performed under this Agreement.

Response to a subpoena or court order will not be considered “voluntary” provided Contractor gives City notice of such court order or subpoena. If Contractor, or any officer, employee, or agent of Contractor, provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City will have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Contractor for any damages, costs and fees, including attorney’s fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Contractor’s conduct.

7.0 ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT

7.1 California Law. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Contractor agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action.

7.2 Retention of Funds. Contractor hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Contractor (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Contractor’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Contractor’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Contractor, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim.

A party’s consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the party’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the other party’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act.

7.5 Completion of Work After Termination for Default of Contractor. If termination is due to the failure of the Contractor to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Contractor shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Contractor for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.

7.6 Attorneys’ Fees. If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not the matter proceeds to judgment, and to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery, including all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation.

8.4 Covenant Against Discrimination. Contractor covenants that, by and for itself, its executors, assigns, and all persons claiming under or through them, that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of, any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, or ancestry in the performance of this Agreement.

First Amendment to Contract Services Agreement with Southwest Patrol for Fiscal Year 2026 Through 2028

BACKGROUND
In July 2023, the City of Lawndale partnered with Southwest Patrol to provide an additional level of safety and security for Lawndale Over the years, Southwest Patrol has provided security services to the City by patrolling City property, facilities, and parks, as well as addressing non-permitted vendors and homeless engagement. While the initial focus for contracting with Southwest Patrol was to provide security services, Southwest Patrol have surpassed their original purpose and have become an integral part of the City's operation by assisting in the reduction of crime and vandalism to City facilities and in the community, which improves public safety and quality of life issue within the City of Lawndale.

STAFF REVIEW
Since contracting with the City, Southwest Patrol Officers have made a pronounced impact in the community. Southwest Patrol Officers conduct daily and evening patrols of all City buildings, parks, and streets, including internal patrols of the Lawndale Community Center and City parks; respond to staff calls for assistance; engage daily with the persons experiencing homelessness to provide and encourage acceptance of resources and/or services; and provides an additional set of eyes and ears to assist our Sheriff's Department in crime prevention and keeping the community safe. The services provided by Southwest Patrol have resulted in a significant decline in the number of encampments on City streets, in City Parks, and throughout the neighborhood.

As the term of the agreement with Southwest Patrol will expire on June 30, 2026, staff is recommending an amendment to extend the term of the agreement for a two year period, from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028. This amendment would keep the same level of service currently provided with a potential cost of living adjustment in Fiscal Year 2026-27. Staff reached out to Southwest Patrol to inquire about their interest in amending the term of the agreement. Southwest Patrol agreed to this extension with a proposed hourly rate increase from $55 per hour to $57.75 per hour, equivalent to a 5% increase for the first year due to inflation and cost of services and has been included in the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The second year of the Extended Contract will include a 4% increase to the per hour rate, bringing the hourly rate to $60.00 per hour for all hours worked between July 1st, 2027 through June 30th, 2028, not to exceed the Consumer Price Index (CPI) with a cap of 5%.

Any future changes in cost or services will be discussed and brought back to City Council for approval, prior to implementation. Southwest Patrol Officers are professional, courteous, and dedicated to serving the City of Lawndale and have become excellent ambassadors for this community.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed resolution and approves it to form.

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of services for FY 26/27 is estimated to be $365,000. This amount has been included the budget for FY 26/27. Staff has also included an additional allocation to cover any overtime costs or unexpected contingencies. No additional budget amendment is needed.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the first amendment to the contract service agreement with Southwest Patrol in a form approved by the City Attorney's Office to continue to provide security services for the City of Lawndale.
