1 TO: City Council
FROM: Ryan Smoot, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Lina Hernandez, Senior Management Analyst
MEETING DATE: December 5, 2023
SUBJECT: Lomita Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Update

RECOMMENDATION
1) Accept grant funds from the FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program to update the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan in the amount up to $72,680.85 for project costs and $3,622.80 for subrecipient grant management costs. Appropriate the 10% required city match of up to $7,268.08 for the project costs; and 2) Approve a Professional Services Agreement with Risk Management Professionals to provide consultant services related to the preparation of a comprehensive Lomita Local Hazard Mitigation Plan update for $50,247 plus a 10% contingency of $5,025, for a total of $55,272 and authorize the City Manager to execute.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The federal Disaster Management Act of 2000 (DMA) requires every local, county and state government to have an approved Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). Lomita has a FEMA-approved and city adopted Local Hazard Mitigation Plan set to expire on December 18, 2023. The LHMP is a five-year strategic plan which aims to identify and assess the hazards to which the city is most vulnerable and develop mitigation strategies to reduce its vulnerability to the risks inherent in natural and human-made hazards. An approved and adopted LHMP will allow the city to remain eligible to be considered for additional funding if approved by legislation before and following a disaster. The city also seeks to update its LHMP to renew adoption into the Safety Element and remain in compliance with AB 2140 and other regulations found in the current Local Hazard Mitigation Planning Policy Guide.

Staff submitted a Notice of Interest (NOI) to request funding to update the city’s LHMP to the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMPG) in February 2022. The NOI was approved, and the city was invited to submit a full supplication for funding consideration. The subapplication was Item No. 8d

CITY OF LOMITA

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
December 5, 2023, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 26
2 submitted in April 2022, forwarded to FEMA by CalOES in January 2023 and the city received notification that FEMA approved the city’s grant application to update the LHMP on June 7, 2023.

An RFP was released on September 28, 2023, and was open until October 31, 2023. The city sent the RFP to seven consulting firms directly and posted the RFP on the city’s website. Six consulting firms responded to the proposal. Risk Management Professionals (RMP) provided the lowest cost of the proposals received at $50,247. Additionally, RMP’s proposal was comprehensive and thorough, and they have experience completing LHMP for cities in the region including Gardena, Paramount, and Fountain Valley. Staff is confident that RMP has the necessary skills and expertise to successfully update the Lomita LHMP and obtain approval from FEMA. A copy of their proposal is attached to this report as Exhibit A of the Professional Services Agreement.

The consultants will provide several opportunities for public input through community outreach meetings and the city’s other available outreach avenues to effectively educate, build interest and obtain consensus regarding the project.

The final LHMP will be reviewed by CalOES and approved by FEMA prior to the City Council’s adoption. The update will take approximately 12 months to complete and will meet the grant deadline requirement.

With the new updated Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, the city will continue moving forward with implementing improvements outlined in the updated document. Since the current LHMP will expire before the update is complete, grant funding for active city projects funded through FEMA’s HMPG (the 247th Street Area Main Replacement Project and the LHMP itself) will not be in jeopardy however the city may not be awarded funding for new projects under FEMA’s mitigation programs without a new adopted LHMP.

OPTIONS:

1. Approve staff’s recommendation

2. Provide alternative direction

FISCAL IMPACT
Consultant costs to update the LHMP are estimated at $55,272. The City has been awarded a grant from FEMA to cover up to $72,680.85 of costs related to this project, with a 10% required city match (normally 25%) of $7,268.08.

The city was awarded a separate FEMA grant in the amount up to $3,622.80 to reimburse staff time for administration and reporting of the project grant.

If approved, a budget appropriation of $7,268 will be added to 100-333-5340.000 for FY 2023-2024.

Supplement #8
Dear Mr. Smoot:

The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) received notification that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has approved $3,622.80 in funding for subrecipient management costs (SRMC). SRMC are costs incurred while administering a Hazard Mitigation grant subaward. A copy of FEMA’s letter is enclosed for your records.

Payments are made on a reimbursement basis using the specialized Subrecipient Management Cost Reimbursement Request Form. Subrecipients are reminded to document their SRMC separately from direct project expenditures. To qualify for SRMC reimbursement, subrecipients must first incur and seek reimbursement for direct project expenditures via the specialized Project Expenditures Reimbursement Request Form. Reimbursement for SRMC is capped at five percent of a project’s cumulative direct project expenditures.

City of Lomita
24300 Narbonne Avenue
Lomita, CA 92677
To Whom it May Concern,
Congress passed Public Law 106-390 to amend the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act and provide for assistance by the Federal Government to State and local governments in carrying out their responsibilities to alleviate the suffering and damage resulting from disasters. As part of the requirements for receiving Federal grants for improving a locality’s resistance to disasters, each locality must determine their existing vulnerabilities and develop a plan to reduce or eliminate these vulnerabilities and must have this plan approved by the appropriate State officials. Risk Management Professionals (RMP) is cognizant of the City of Lomita’s desire to maintain compliance and eligibility for the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) and Hazard Mitigation Grant (HMGP) Programs. As such, the objective of the proposed effort is the update of the City’s HMP as required by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000).

RMP is prepared to assist the City of Lomita (City) with developing a Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) to fulfill this requirement and prepare for potential disasters.

On behalf of RMP, I am pleased to present the attached Proposal for the City’s single-jurisdiction, or local, Hazard Mitigation Plan. It is understood that RMP is proposing the following effort; • Facilitating all the elements pertaining to the successful update of the City's Hazard Mitigation Plan, such as data gathering and analysis, leading Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) meetings, preparation of the Comprehensive Update involving an inclusive citywide planning process, and attendance at relevant City Council meetings.
• Organizing applicable Public Outreach efforts
• Coordinating with the City as well as the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to secure Plan approval pending formal adoption.

2.0 SCOPE OF WORK
PHASE 1: LHMP PLANNING PROCESS
To begin developing a Plan that is compliant with Code of Federal Regulations, Title 44, Chapter I, Subchapter D, Part 201, Section 201.6, “Local Mitigation Plans” (44 CFR §201.6), RMP will work with City personnel to identify all participating agencies and develop a Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC). At this stage, RMP will assess available City technical, financial, and departmental resources to support the Plan development process. In addition, RMP will follow guidance from Element A of the newly released Local Mitigation Planning Policy Guide to assist the City in identifying outside stakeholders from local businesses, academia, and applicable nonprofit organizations. Once all stakeholders and applicable City personnel are identified, the firm will conduct a Project Initiation Meeting to present a project overview that details the objectives and scope of the Plan development process. After a review of the project schedule and key tasks, the HMPC members’ areas of expertise, resultant member responsibilities and the process for community involvement will be discussed. The HMPC will provide essential insight into historical natural hazard events, current hazard vulnerability (including specific locations), critical City assets, vulnerable populations and possible mitigation projects that are necessary for a comprehensive Plan. As part of this phase, the HMPC will review the list of natural hazards including, but not limited to, dam failure, drought and water storage, earthquake, 100/500-year flooding, localized stormwater flooding, severe weather, soil hazards, wildfires, and any other natural hazards that may be considered significant by the City. In addition to natural hazards, manmade hazards including, but not limited to, hazardous material release, pipeline or storage tank failures, transportation failures, and other human caused hazards, will be discussed. Once identified, the HMPC will prioritize these hazards by significance.

Risk Management Professionals 5
In March 2021, FEMA, along with Cal OES and the California Department of Natural Resources, updated its original California Adaptation Planning Guide (APG) to assist local agencies in assessment and planning for the potential impacts of climate change. Since its original release in 2015, FEMA has required that updated HMPs include provision for climate as part of the planning process. RMP will ensure the climate change discussion is included as part of the update process.

PHASE 2: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
This phase will include formulating a
description and prioritization of the
natural and man-made hazards that
have occurred within the City. Existing
data sources such as FEMA Flood
insurance studies, USGS ground
acceleration mapping, and Fire Hazard
risk mapping will be used rather than
HAZUS to develop hazard profiles. This
meeting aims to identify the best
available data for each given hazard, describe the impact and vulnerability for the City, and identify data gaps. RMP will analyze the impacts of past hazards on existing land use patterns to better understand the vulnerability of specific land uses within the City. Additionally, RMP will update and create hazard maps and profile narratives as well as augment existing information and community interviews and targeted filed verification. RMP will acquire and assess available City GIS Data (including critical infrastructure and City-owned buildings and assets), and acquire, create, and evaluate asset inventory data beyond City -owned data to format all GIS data into a working database structure. This will include critical facilities, maps that depict the locations of parcels, structures, land use, and population, as well as structures delineated by type of use (e.g., residential, commercial, industrial). As part of this phase, RMP will review existing City documents and plans to identify information that can be included in the Plan development. These documents may include the City’s General Plans, Emergency Operations Plans, Flood Hazard Mitigation Plans, Fire Management Plans, and any other relevant document made available by the City. If other planning efforts are currently being undertaken, RMP will assess if any applicable information exists and whether it can be included in the Plan development.

As part of the hazard identification discussion, RMP will lead the team to consider vulnerable populations for all identified natural hazards. This discussion will attempt to identify City assets as well as vulnerable populations which will be impacted in the event of a hazard scenario. The December 5, 2023, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 85
Risk Management Professionals 6
details for these discussions will directly impact the HMP hazard profiles and proposed mitigation actions.

The HMPC will rank the dangers according to historical data, funding and mitigation capabilities, potential loss estimates, potential damage to essential infrastructure, and occurrence data. As stated in the DMA 2000 regulations, the primary goal of the data collection activities will be to use the data that already exists. During this procedure, gaps and limitations in the data will also be recognized. The gaps identified will be viewed as suggestions in the plan's mitigation strategies.

PHASE 3: RISK ASSESSMENT
Once the hazards have been identified, RMP will prepare the vulnerability and capability assessments that are outlined below to complete the risk assessment. RMP will work with the HMPC In order to employ the best available hazard and inventory data, including GIS Data.

The Vulnerability Assessment will ascertain the probable impacts that the identified hazards may have on the City. RMP will develop a multi-jurisdictional asset inventory by determining the quantity of buildings, people, and asset values that lie in the different hazard areas and what proportion of the City this represents. The asset inventory will be completed using data generated by the HMPC, Census data, County, State and Federal agency resources. The asset inventory will include the following items for all stakeholders.
• Demographic data (population, age, ethnicity, and income) • General building stock (square footage of occupancy classes for each census tract)
• Medical care facilities
• Emergency response facilities (fire, police)
• Schools
• Dams
• Hazardous Materials facilities
• Roads, airports, and other transportation facilities
• Electric power, oil, and gas lines as well as other utility facilities December 5, 2023, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 86
Risk Management Professionals 7
The vulnerability assessment will include actual or assessed values of the vulnerable facilities, repetitive losses to facilities, critical facilities at risk, natural and cultural resources at risk, growth and development trends, and an estimate of losses per hazard. In addition to this data, existing studies, reports, and plans will be reviewed, disaster
declarations will be documented, and NFIP insured
structures and those repetitively damaged by floods will be addressed. Following the completion of the asset
inventory, RMP will develop loss estimates for existing assets using a FEMA developed loss estimation
methodology that standardizes natural hazard loss
using models for estimating potential losses. In
estimating losses, RMP and the HMPC will consider
various impacts of each hazard event such as:
• Physical damage: damage to residential and commercial buildings, schools, critical facilities, and infrastructure
• Economic loss: lost jobs, business interruptions, repair, and reconstruction costs • Social impacts: impacts on people, including requirements for shelters and medical aid.

This task is critical in determining which assets are subject to the greatest potential damage and which hazard event is likely to produce the greatest potential losses. The conclusion of this task will precipitate a comprehensive loss estimate (Vulnerability Assessment) for each identified hazard for each specific asset in terms of damages, economic loss, and the associated consequences.

A capability assessment will be conducted that will inventory the existing plans, policies, and procedures that the City has in place to mitigate the effects of hazards. This will include protective measures under the National Flood Insurance Program, building codes, zoning ordinances, completed or ongoing mitigation projects, and mitigation policies established in the Plans of the participating jurisdictions.

To complete the Risk Assessment, RMP will review land use patterns in the City and compare them to the hazard profiles created in earlier steps. Comparing the information will allow RMP to identify which hazards could affect growth patterns within the City. This information will be documented in the final report and used in subsequent HMPC meetings to help develop mitigation strategies.

December 5, 2023, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 87
Risk Management Professionals 8
In accordance with the 2023 Hazard Mitigation Planning Guide, updated HMPs must include a discussion about potential underserved members of the community and those more likely to be impacted by disasters to a larger extent. In anticipation of FEMA’s requirements, RMP has developed a strategy to assist the City with understanding the variables which may put certain members of the community at higher risk (i.e., financial status, age, handicaps, etc.) and develop mitigation features to help support this portion of the community. Furthermore, elements for the California State Hazard Mitigation Plan (SHMP) and the Los Angeles County Local All-Hazards Mitigation Plan will be used to help align the City with the County/State efforts.

PHASE 4: MITIGATION STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT
During the planning process, the HMPC will update the existing mitigation strategies and identify new mitigation projects, as well as coordinate the formal adoption of these strategies. This comprehensive review aims to update each section of the 2018 plan to reflect new data, processes, participating jurisdictions, and the resulting mitigation strategies. It should be noted that the update to the Plan will include an assessment of the success of the participating communities in their implementation of the 2018 Plan.

RMP will document the mitigation features and resources that each agency currently has in place, including fire protection, back-up generators, seismic retrofits and structural improvements, flood channels, etc. Additionally, the meeting will identify mitigation actions and projects that will reduce the impact of identified hazards. RMP will lead the team to develop specific mitigation actions that directly relate to the vulnerable populations discussed in the initial meeting. In accordance with the 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Guide, the team will be led to create mitigation actions that close the gaps identified for vulnerable populations.

During this meeting a team of qualified individuals, including engineers with hazard mitigation and emergency planning experience and knowledgeable agency representatives, will brainstorm possible projects and actions to mitigate the effects of the identified hazards based on the hazard profiles and loss estimates. RMP will analyze existing mitigation measures from the City's current Emergency Response Plans and Safety Elements, combine them with state and federal guidelines, best practice measures, along with integrating the Plan with other planning efforts within county and other interested jurisdictions.

In addition, RMP will conduct a qualitative Benefit Cost Review (BCR) to prioritize mitigation recommendations for implementation. The priority for implementing mitigation recommendations will depend upon the over cost effectiveness of the recommendation when considering monetary and non-monetary costs and benefits associated with each action. To facilitate the review, the following items will be discussed for each mitigation recommendation:

December 5, 2023, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 88
Risk Management Professionals 9
• How many people will benefit from these actions?
• How large an area is impacted?
• How critical are the facilities that benefit from the action? • Does it make sense environmentally to perform the action? • How feasible is the action?
• Will this action be acceptable to the Public?
• How will the action be funded?
Additionally, the strategy will address mitigation measures between multiple agencies and clearly define responsibility. A cost estimate on a specified comparative cost scale will also be prepared by the HMPC as needed so that the mitigation actions can be compared and prioritized. After each recommended action is prioritized, RMP will create a draft mitigation strategy to present to the HMPC. RMP’s engineers will design a draft mitigation strategy to address means for achieving public unity throughout each jurisdiction regarding its recommendations. Once the draft mitigation strategy is complete, it will be submitted to the City and participating stakeholders for approval.

Pursuant to mitigation strategy approval, RMP will be available to present the information at the public workshop.

PHASE 5: PLAN PREPARATION AND DRAFTING
Using the information acquired during the previous HMPC meetings, RMP will prepare the first draft of the HMP. This draft Plan will be compliant with the DMA 2000 and Cal OES/ FEMA requirements. Upon completion of the Public Review Draft Plan, HMPC members will be given an opportunity to review and provide suggested modifications for the HMP. RMP will work with City personnel to establish a review period. Once all comments have been implemented into the draft, RMP will prepare a presentation to exhibit the Public Review Draft in a public forum. Through enewsletters, websites, and other opportunities, RMP will enable the public to comment digitally.

PHASE 6: FINAL DRAFT AND CAL OES REVIEW
RMP will amend the Public Review Draft in response to recommendations made by the community through digital comments and public workshops and prepare a Final Draft Plan. Once the public comments have been addressed, RMP will complete and distribute a digital and hard copy “Draft Final HMP” to the HMPC. Once the City approves the submittal, RMP will complete a December 5, 2023, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 89
Risk Management Professionals 10
FEMA Review Tool and facilitate the submittal to CalOES/ FEMA. RMP staff will work diligently with regulators to ensure compliance with both state and federal requirements. After gathering the final comments from Cal OES and FEMA, and completing state and federal review and revision, RMP will present the final HMP to the City.

A master electronic and hard copy of the Plan will be given to the City to assist in adoption of the Plan by Lomita City Council. RMP will make sure to assist the HMPC in securing a final approval letter and plan review tool from FEMA. Pursuant to the City’s request, two color hard copies of the LHMP will be provided. The first will be a hard copy that will be submitted to Cal OES/FEMA and the second will be provided to the City. In addition to the hard copies, the final plan document will be distributed to the City electronically in both Word and PDF formats.

PHASE 7: PLAN APPROVAL AND ADOPTION
RMP will provide the City and Plan stakeholders with guidelines for maintaining the Plan through the five-year update cycle and beyond. The maintenance plan will designate overall Plan monitoring and implementation responsibility. RMP will also define how mitigation strategies can be conducted at various levels of government and included in other planning documents, giving examples. As part of the plan, RMP will outline the maintenance requirements provided by FEMA to ensure the City and all its stakeholders have a clear understanding of FEMA expectations. This will ensure the Plan can be maintained even if Plan responsibilities are redistributed within the City. Once FEMA approval pending adoption is received, RMP will assist the City with final adoption proceedings. This task will include developing an editable Microsoft Word version of the Final FEMA-approved plan, at least one professionally bound hard copy of the final FEMAapprove plan to be provided to the City, and adoption language for City Council proceedings.

Additionally, this includes incorporating the City of Lomita’s comments and additional public comments into the final MJHMP. Lastly, RMP will distribute the plan to the HMPC and required local, state, and federal agencies.

PROGRESS REPORTS
RMP confirms that progress reports will be submitted with each invoice, and we will strictly adhere to the Schedule of Performance to ensure timely completion of the project in late 2024.

December 5, 2023, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 91
Risk Management Professionals 12

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
RMP will follow the 2023 Local Hazard Mitigation Planning Guide developed by FEMA as the core approach for developing the HMP. FEMA requires that the HMP meet certain requirements. First, the plan must be approved by the State Authority to receive hazard mitigation funding for disasters following that date. Second, the planning process must be open and public, and must allow the public to have an opportunity to comment during the drafting stage and prior to plan approval.

Third, the process must allow other local jurisdictions to be involved in the planning process.

Fourth, the plan must incorporate, if appropriate, existing plans, studies, reports, and technical information.

As of April 2023, FEMA now requires agencies to include discussions regarding equity in hazard mitigation to ensure all members of society receive ample resilience support.

Additionally, the discussion regarding Climate Change has been further defined to encourage the City to incorporate climate-friendly solutions into its current efforts. RMP Staff will leading planning participants though the process of closing regulatory gaps while reevaluating any current
understanding of hazard vulnerabilities in current planning documents (i.e., General Plan, Emergency Plans, or existing mitigation plans).

Based upon this guidance and RMP’s experience with HMPs, Response Plans, and Hazardous Materials Area Plans, the Project Team has formulated a plan for this project which provides a comprehensive, pragmatic, and cost-effective solution to identify strategies for reducing vulnerabilities to high-priority natural and man-made hazards. RMP’s approach will consist of the following tasks: Organization of Resources, Hazard Identification and Profiling, Asset Inventory and Vulnerability Analysis, Development of Mitigation Measures, Drafting an HMP, Local Plan Review and Revision, State and Federal Review, and Local HMP Adoption.

RMP has well-defined, rigorous procedures for project management. These techniques have been developed, refined, and contribute to the company’s success and reputation. Key elements of the established management approach include the following:
• Emphasis on communication with the client and within the Project Team • Emphasis on quality
• Key senior staff involvement at all project stages
• Frequent comparison of planned versus actual budget and schedule December 5, 2023, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 92
Risk Management Professionals 13
As stipulated in the DMA 2000, early and continuous public input is required during an HMP update. RMP has utilized several methods of obtaining public involvement in the update process for HMPs, including the following:
• Public Attendance to Planning Meetings,
• Community Surveys,
• Online Review Processes,
• Interactive Webcast Broadcasts, and
• Public “Town” Meetings and Workshops.

It should be noted Cal OES generally does not encourage the use of community surveys but was impressed by the depth of information collected and the level of participation observed using RMP’s survey template. RMP is confident its experience, public outreach method, and plan update approach will be sufficient to successfully update the City’s HMP. RMP has a 100% acceptance rate for plans submitted to Cal OES and FEMA.

At the City Council’s direction, the attached Resolution and Employment Agreement have been negotiated and prepared for consideration. If approved, the agreement would provide Mr. Hoefgen with compensation at an hourly rate equivalent to that of the current City Manager (currently $120.19 per hour) – Pursuant to CalPERS regulations, the City cannot pay any less nor any more than the approved hourly rate in the existing salary schedule for the same position. The Agreement stipulates that Mr. Hoefgen is not entitled to any other fringe benefits provided to other City Employees, with the exception that he may participate in the City’s 457(b) plan at his own cost and with no contribution from the City. As a retired annuitant, Mr. Hoefgen is limited in the total number of hours he may Item No. SCH 9b
December 5, 2023, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 128
work for the City to 960 total hours in a fiscal year, and the agreement stipulates that it will terminate upon the appointment of a permanent City Manager, or upon reaching 960 hours. The City has begun the process of searching for a permanent City Manager and expects that process to be complete within the next few months.

FISCAL IMPACT
The hourly rate provided for in the agreement is the same as that of the current City Manager ($120.19). The City will see savings budgetary savings as it Mr. Hoefgen is not entitled to the same benefits provided as part of the employment agreement with the current City Manager.

CITY OF LOMITA

AGREEMENT FOR

INTERIM CITY MANAGER POSITION
THIS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), is made and entered into this 5th day of December, 2023, by and between the City of Lomita (“CITY”) and Joe Hoefgen (“RETIREE”) (collectively, the “Parties”). In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, the Parties agree as follows:

RECITALS
This Agreement is made and entered into with respect to the following facts:

A. CITY seeks to engage RETIREE on an interim basis in the position of City Manager, to serve for a definite period of time, in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement; and
B. The parties wish to have RETIREE perform the services of Interim City Manager, while CITY conducts its recruitment for a permanent City Manager, and will terminate such services upon CITY’s selection and hiring of a permanent City Manager; and C. RETIREE desires to accept employment as City Manager on an interim basis in consideration of and subject to the terms, conditions and benefits set forth in this Agreement; and D. Government Code Sections 7522.56 and 21221(h) permit retired annuitants under the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (“CalPERS”) to be employed without reinstatement from retirement upon appointment by a public agency to fill a vacant position on an interim basis during the recruitment to permanently fill the vacant position, if approved by the Governing Board;
E. RETIREE represents that he is a retired annuitant of CalPERS within the meaning of Government Code §§7522.56 and 21221(h) (“Statutes”) and acknowledges that his compensation is statutorily limited as provided in Government Code §21221(h). RETIREE understands that he can work up to 960 hours total for CITY, a state agency or other CalPERS contracting agencies (collectively “CalPERS Agencies”) during a fiscal year. RETIREE will make CITY aware of all hours he has worked this fiscal year for any CalPERS agencies. With the execution of this Agreement, RETIREE affirms that he has not received unemployment compensation arising from work pursuant to Government Code Section 7522.56 during the 12- month period preceding the effective date of this Agreement. RETIREE further affirms that his CalPERS retirement date became effective prior to the 180-day period preceding the Commencement Date, as that term is defined in Section 3 of this Agreement; and F. CITY has determined that it is necessary to hire RETIREE, a retired annuitant, because of his extensive knowledge of, skills, and experience in the position of a City Manager at a public entity, which skills are necessary for the successful operation of CITY.

NOW, THEREFORE, CITY and RETIREE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, agree as follows:

Exhibit A
December 5, 2023, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 132
65265.00001\41842843.1
-2-

1. APPOINTMENT. In accordance with Resolution No. _____, RETIREE is appointed City Manager of CITY effective January 2, 2024, on an interim basis under the terms of this Agreement.

2. POSITION AND DUTIES. RETIREE is appointed by the City Council of CITY as City Manager of CITY on an interim basis to perform, on the basis set forth in Paragraph 4 below, the duties and functions of the City Manager, and to perform other legally permissible duties and such functions as the City Council shall from time to time assign. The City Council shall have the authority to determine the specific duties and functions which RETIREE shall perform under this Agreement. RETIREE agrees to devote the time, skill, attention, and best efforts necessary to the discharge of the duties and functions of the City Manager position and any other duties assigned to him by the City Council.

3. TERM, TERMINATION AND AT-WILL STATUS. This Agreement shall become effective upon the date executed both by RETIREE and CITY, which date shall be the date first referenced above. RETIREE shall commence the performance of his duties under this Agreement on January 2, 2024, or at such later date as the parties hereto shall agree in writing (“Commencement Date”). This Agreement shall expire as of the first of the following to occur: (i) upon the employment commencement date of a permanent City Manager; (ii) upon RETIREE working 960 hours combined for any CalPERS Agencies during fiscal year 2023-2024 or 960 hours in any subsequent fiscal year; or (iii) upon termination of the Agreement by either RETIREE or CITY as provided below.

RETIREE acknowledges that he is an at-will, temporary employee of CITY who shall serve at the pleasure of the City Council at all times during the period of his service hereunder and shall be subject to termination by the City Council at any time without advance notice and without cause. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, nor does, confer upon RETIREE any right to any property interest in continued employment, or any due process right to a hearing before or after a decision by the City Council to terminate his employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way prevent, limit or otherwise interfere with the right of CITY to terminate the services of RETIREE and nothing in this Agreement shall prevent, limit or otherwise interfere with the right of RETIREE to resign at any time from his position with CITY.

4. COMPENSATION. CITY agrees to provide the following compensation to RETIREE for the services of Interim City Manager:

Beginning as of the Commencement Date, CITY agrees to pay to RETIREE for services rendered under this Agreement, $120.19 per hour, which amount is in conformance with the requirements of Government Code Section 7522.56(d). The hourly rate is not more than the maximum nor less than the minimum monthly base salary paid to other employees performing comparable duties as listed on CITY’s publicly approved pay schedule, reflected as an hourly rate by dividing the monthly base pay by 173.333. Because RETIREE is paid on an hourly basis, and in accordance with the FLSA, if RETIREE works over 40 hours per workweek, RETIREE will be paid for additional hours at the legally required overtime rate. RETIREE shall not be entitled to any additional compensation. CITY shall not pay for vacation or holidays, nor shall RETIREE be entitled to any fringe benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if allowed by law, RETIREE will be authorized to voluntarily participate in CITY's 457(b) supplemental retirement savings plan, provided, however, that CITY shall not make any contributions thereto.

5. SUPPORT SERVICES AND EQUIPMENT. RETIREE shall be provided office space and the equipment needed to perform his duties and sufficient to fulfill obligations December 5, 2023, Reg. CC Mtg., Page # 133

6. EXPENSES. CITY shall reimburse RETIREE for authorized, reasonable and necessary travel expenses incurred by RETIREE in the performance of his duties pursuant to this Agreement. RETIREE shall document and claim said reimbursement for such travel in the manner and forms required by CITY. All reimbursements shall be for actual expenses and shall be subject to and in accordance with California and federal law and CITY’s adopted reimbursement policies.

RETIREE will not be compensated or reimbursed for commuting. Other than as specifically provided herein, RETIREE shall receive no other compensation or reimbursements for expenses incurred by him in performance of this Agreement. Reimbursements are not compensation and shall not be reported to CalPERS.

Following termination, RETIREE shall not use any Proprietary Information and shall not disclose any Confidential Information, except with the express written consent of CITY.

9. GOVERNING LAW/VENUE. This Agreement shall be interpreted according to the laws of the State of California. Venue for any action or proceeding regarding this contract shall be in Los Angeles County.

10. ENFORCEABILITY.

11. CONFLICT OF INTEREST. RETIREE agrees that during the term of this Agreement, he will not maintain any financial interest or engage in any other contract employment, occupation, work, endeavor or association, whether compensated or not, that would in any way conflict with, or impair RETIREE’S ability to perform the duties described in this Agreement. Any work performed for CITY outside the terms of this Agreement must be approved in advance in writing by the City Council.
