MEETING DATE: August 5, 2025

PREPARED BY: Happy Bains, Finance Director/Assistant City Manager REVIEWED BY: Jose Antonio Ramirez, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution to approve a professional services agreement with Lance, Soll & Lunghard, LLP Certified Public Accountants for consulting services for fiscal year 2024-2025 through fiscal year 2028-2029 in an amount not to exceed $330,000.

BACKGROUND
At the March 19, 2024, City Council meeting, City Council approved an agreement with Lance, Soll & Lunghard, LLP Certified Public Accountants to assist the City in adhering to Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) technical pronouncements and other year-end tasks in preparation for the audits. The total amount approved by the City Council was $135,000 and helped with FY 2022-23 and 2023-2024 pronouncements and tasks.

Assistance from the outside consultant proved very useful as the audits for FY 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 have been completed.

DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Finance staff is planning for the FY 2024-2025 audit, which will take place in November and December of 2025, and has determined that assistance will be needed again because of the continuing requirement to adhere to GASB technical pronouncements and the vacant Senior Accountant and Accountant II positions.

If the vacant positions become filled and the new employees are trained on time, the total cost of the agreement would be reduced because it is based on the Consultant’s hourly rates.

To ensure the City’s audits are completed in a timely manner, City staff asked Lance, Soll & Lunghard, LLP Certified Public Accountants to provide a proposal to assist with completing certain aspects of the year end close and other assistance for FY 2024-2025 and through FY 2028-2029.

Tasks for which assistance will be needed:
81 of 371
- GASB 68 calculations – requires governments providing defined benefit pensions to recognize their long-term obligation for pension benefits as a liability, and to more comprehensively and comparably measure the annual costs of pension benefits.
- GASB 75 calculations – requires local governments and school districts to prepare the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) – compliant financial statements to report the total Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) liability in the statement of net position in their government-wide financial statements. - GASB 87 Lease Analysis and Calculations – requires a lessee government to recognize (1) a lease liability and (2) an intangible asset representing the lessee's right to use the leased asset. A lessor government is required to recognize (1) a lease receivable and (2) a deferred inflow of resources. - GASB 96 (Current Year Implementation) Agreement Analysis and Calculations – effective for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2022. GASB 96 establishes uniform accounting and financial reporting requirements for Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements (SBITAs).
- GASB 101 (New for FY 2024-2025) -- updates recognition and measurement guidance for compensated absences, such as leave for state and local government entities.
- Assistance with year-end close functions
- Assistance with implementation of a month-end close process - Training new staff to carry out the month-end and year-end processes.

Staff recommends entering a contract with Lance, Soll & Lunghard, LLP Certified Public Accountants to provide accounting and consulting services for FY 2024-2025 through FY 2028- 2029 and approving a supplemental appropriation in the amount of $88,000 for payment of work performed for FY 2024-2025 pronouncements and tasks which are expected to start mid-August 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT
The amount for this contract will be budgeted in each fiscal year, with the first year paid by supplemental appropriations from various Fund reserves in the amount of $88,000. All subsequent fiscal years are estimated to cost $60,500 per year.

Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review. (n) Agency’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change.

Our proposal highlights our firm’s strength and stability, along with our demonstrated experience, knowledge, passion, and creative problem-solving capabilities as a leader in the field of governmental accounting and auditing. Our dynamic team is comprised of top talent within the industry, and with our comprehensive government experience, and our dedication to providing personalized experiences for each of our clients, we believe you will find that LSL is one of the best-qualified accounting firms to provide these services.

SCOPE OF SERVICES AND DELIVERABLES
We understand you are seeking a qualified firm to provide consulting and accounting services. LSL has a structured, well-tested approach to providing accounting services. Our goal is not to replace your team but become a part of it.

Our team is willing and ready to provide assistance in strategic areas that allow your team to focus on the day-today while allowing us to take care of more complex tasks that cannot be done by other team members. The detailed scope and any related deliverables are described in Appendix A – Scope and Deliverables.

Noah's expertise has been instrumental in helping government agencies maximize the use of their existing resources to meet a broader range of priorities.

As the Finance Director for the City of Rancho Cucamonga, Noah's strategic leadership was instrumental in replacing an outdated financial system (Workday), enhancing efficiency and accuracy.

As you can see, LSL is uniquely positioned to assist our clients as our team is comprised of government industry experts who have worked in local governments themselves. Our team understands the complexities of government accounting and can ensure your accounting is accurate and well maintained. In addition, our team has implemented ERP systems as both consultants and as members of local government which allows us to design policies and procedures with accounting in mind.

Also, having a team that has worked in local government, we can assist with other projects you may need such as training and support of finance department staff, evaluations of efficiencies in the department and assessments to help determine where staff capacity exists, and serving as a backup for day-to-day transaction processing such as utility billing, accounts payable and payroll.

LSL does not subcontract work but often has personnel working outside of the US. All staff assigned have extensive experience providing auditing and/or accounting services for cities, counties, and special-purpose government agencies. Our educational programs are designed to provide our team members with the knowledge and skills necessary to deliver high-quality services to our clients. We offer a variety of training opportunities, including those provided by CalCPA, AICPA, Government Audit Quality Center, and GFOA.

ADAPTING TO A REMOTE WORKING RELATIONSHIP
LSL is fully equipped with software and communication tools to support a remote process. We leverage Microsoft Teams to easily connect over a video call in a face-to-face setting, giving us the ability to share screens and information in real-time. Additionally, having the customizable LSL CaseWare Cloud Portal makes the exchange of secure information easy and painless. LSL is also accustomed to working in our client’s financial software solutions in a remote environment, taking advantage of VPN connections and remote desktops. In an effort to reduce costs for our clients, our team has become accustomed to working remotely using remote desktop technology. It is anticipated that the work would be performed entirely remotely. If onsite time is required, this can be discussed on a case-bycase basis.

CONCLUSION
Our collective experience in local government accounting backed by our comprehensive understanding of all facets of municipal government operations has resulted in our development of efficient procedures and a streamlined work plan approach, which we believe makes LSL one of the best-qualified teams to perform this engagement.

Our proposal is a firm and irrevocable offer for 90 days following the closing date for the receipt of proposals. For this proposal, Kelly Telford, CPA, Partner, is authorized to make representations for our firm. She can be reached by phone at (714) 458-5292 or by email at [email protected].

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends City Council approval or provide direction for fee waivers for Memorial Park.

Stage and Kitchen use for Pacific Coast Khalsa Diwan Society, August 31, 2025, from 11am – 7pm.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:

In June 2025, Gurpal Kailey submitted a facility use form to the Recreation staff for the use of Memorial Park, Stage, and Kitchen Facilities for an annual event sponsored by their temple. The event is free and open to Livingston residents.

Previously, the organization used the facilities with no issues or complaints. As part of the City’s requirements, the group will be required to obtain and provide an insurance certificate.

The City of Livingston has a Parks and Recreation Fee policy in place which was adopted in 2008 and updated in 2022, attached for reference. The fee policy states, “special non-profit groups/organizations, schools or organizations providing a free service to the community identified by the Recreation Department may be granted special consideration in the form of reduced rates or free services.”
According to the policy, “It is understood that on occasion special consideration may be needed in determining fees for groups or individual having circumstances uncommon to those in the fee structure criteria, in these cases, the City Council or City Manager will approve those requests.

Requests for a variance shall be submitted in writing to the City Manager 30 days prior to the date of promotion.”
DISCUSSION:

The City Council has the discretion to approve or deny the waiving of fees for facility use. Staff provides the following three (3) options for the City Council consideration:

1. Adopt the resolution and allow the Pacific Coast Khalsa Diwan Society use of Memorial Park, Stage and Kitchen and waive any and all fees

2. Deny waiving the fees

3. Continue the item or provide alternative direction

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Council approve or provide direction for fee waiver for Memorial Park and kitchen use for the Livingston High School All Class Reunion on September 27, 2025
MEETING DATE: August 5, 2025
PREPARED BY: Jacquelyn Benoit, Recreation Superintendent RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council approve or provide direction for fee waiver for Memorial Park and Kitchen use for the Livingston High School All Class Reunion on September 27, 2025.

BACKGROUND:

Diane Dallas has submitted a facility use form to the Recreation staff for the Livingston High School All Class Reunion to use Memorial Park and Kitchen for their All Class Reunion on September 27, 2025. Ms. Dallas also submitted the fee waiver paperwork.

Previously, the Livingston High School All Alumni Reunion Committee used the park for various events with no issues or complaints. As part of the City’s requirements, the group will be required to obtain and provide an insurance certificate.

The City of Livingston has a Parks and Recreation Fee Policy in place which was adopted in 2008 and updated in 2022, attached for reference. The fee policy states, “Special non-profit groups/organizations, schools or organizations providing a free service to the community identified by the Recreation Department may be granted special consideration in the form of reduced rates or free services.”
According to policy, “It is understood that on occasion special consideration may be needed in determining fees for groups or individual having circumstances uncommon to those in the fee structure criteria. In these cases, the City Council or City Manager will approve those requests.

Requests for a variance shall be submitted in writing to the City Manager 30 days prior to the date of promotion.”
DISCUSSION:

The City Council has the discretion to approve or deny the waiving of fees for facility use. Staff provides the following three (3) options for the City Council consideration:

1. Adopt the Resolution and allow the Livingston High School All Alumni Reunion Committee to use Memorial Park and Kitchen and waive any and all fees.

2. Deny waiving fees.

3. Continue the item or provide alternative directions

To whom it may concern,
We, the committee and board for the LHS All Alumni Reunion, request to have the fees waivered for Memorial Park & Park Kitchen.

We have already reserved the park for the reunion on September 27, 2025.

Our goal every year is to contribute funds to Livingston High School's Departments In need and other LHS events. We will also distribute funds for scholarships for LHS seniors and alumni. May 2025 we will be distributing $10,000 in scholarships.

If you have any questions, you may contact me at
Thank you for this consideration as it will benefit Livingston High School.

Yours sincerely,

MEETING DATE: August 5, 2025

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends City Council approval or provide direction for fee waiver for Alvernaz Field, and Memorial Park use for the Livingston Wolves Youth Football program, September 1, 2025, through November 30, 2025.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:

On July 1, 2025, Angie Macias submitted a facility use form to the Recreation staff for the use of Alvernaz Field and Memorial Park Facilities on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for Youth Football and Cheer practice.

Previously, the Livingston Wolves Youth Football program used the facilities with no issues or complaints. As part of the City’s requirements, the group will be required to obtain and provide an insurance certificate.

The City of Livingston has a Parks and Recreation Fee policy in place which was adopted in 2008 and updated in 2022, attached for reference. The fee policy states, “special non-profit groups/organizations, schools or organizations providing a free service to the community identified by the Recreation Department may be granted special consideration in the form of reduced rates or free
services.”
According to the policy, “It is understood that on occasion special consideration may be needed in determining fees for groups or individual having circumstances uncommon to those in the fee structure criteria, in these cases, the City Council or City Manager will approve those requests.

Requests for a variance shall be submitted in writing to the City Manager 30 days prior to the date of promotion.”
DISCUSSION:

The City Council has the discretion to approve or deny the waiving of fees for facility use. Staff provides the following three (3) options for the City council consideration:

1. Adopt a resolution and allow the Livingston Wolves Youth Football program to use Alvernaz field and Memorial Park and waive all fees

2. Deny waiving fees

Livingston Youth Football & Cheer Organization (L YF&C) is a non-profit dedicated to promoting the fundamentals and advanced skills of team play. In addition to competitive play, we strive to instill values such as sportsmanship. self-respect, cooperation, and academic achievement in our athletes.

We currently serve over 200 student-athletes, ages 6- 14, across four developmental levels. To verify residency, each level maintains a binder that includes the participants' residential addresses. While this information is not publicly shared due to privacy considerations. it is available for review upon request. wma
Although LYF&C organizes fundraisers to maintain program self-sufficiency, all proceeds are reinvested to keep registration costs aHordable and ensure the safety of our equipment. Ar this time, we kindly request a waiver of facility use tees for City of Livingston properties, which would greatly assist our mission of access1bilaty and community support.

We sincerely appreciate your ongoing support and consideration.

Warms regards,
