8. SCHEDULED ITEMS
a. EDUCATION COMPACT BETWEEN THE CITY OF LOMITA AND THE LOS ANGELES
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the Education Compact between the City of Lomita and the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD).
City Manager Vialpando introduced the item, then turned it over to Administrative Analyst Gastelum, who gave the staff report per the agenda material. The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) Compact is part of LAUSD’s 2022-2026 Strategic Plan, which focuses on innovative programs that support student success and community enrichment.
Other local cities have already embraced this initiative and Lomita has the opportunity to join the effort. Lomita’s Alexander Fleming Middle School’s STM Magnet Program is a prime example of what these partnerships can mean for students, offering hands-on problem-solving and collaboration, and fostering innovation. The compact requires no financial commitment and is instead a strategic partnership that helps schools like Fleming.
There was brief discussion relative to setting up a meeting with the new LAUSD Superintendent, and there was concern about approving such an agreement until then.
City Manager Vialpando emphasized that the compact is a non-legally-binding, non-financial commitment. It is more a good faith pledge and if approved tonight, it essentially commits the City to engage in 10 Key Focus Areas of the Education Compact which are as follows:

BACKGROUND
Water Division Updates
Cypress Water Production Facility (CWPF) and Distribution System Updates Staff met with the Hazen and Sawyer project management team on December 10. Staff provided updates on the status of part ordered, shipment dates, and upcoming training dates in order to begin testing. The most significant piece of equipment in transit is the Variable Frequency Drive, which we hope to receive by the end of the month. This device is critical to enduring the water well operates correctly with the new upgrades made at the Plant. Staff also finalized the task list schedule which was shared with the Division of Drinking Water to reengage conversations to finalize the permit on schedule for Spring 2025.
Staff continues to participate in meetings with West Basin, MWD, and LA Department of Water and Power (DWP) to construct a new emergency connection with LADWP to support a request for a shutdown of a West Basin connection, WB-08A. MWD has postponed the request for shutdown, but staff is still working to finalize project details for the new emergency connection construction. Lomita staff met with representatives from Cal Water on December 9, 2024 to resume discussions from 2001 about the possible installation of a new interconnection in the Harbor Hils area. A meter connection is being explored as a phased approach that would involve less time, resources and permitting to move this project along. A records search for mutual aid agreements is underway and if none exists, will be brought before the City Council in the near future.

*The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has established Statement No. 31 for setting investment valuation standards. We report the unrealized gain/(loss) monthly and book realized gain/(loss) at year end as a GASB 31 requirement.
GASB 31 is a reporting requirement that reports the "Fair Value" of investments held in our portfolio. Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument (investment) could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties at current market prices. It is important to understand the relationship between prevailing interest rates and fixed coupon investments. As market interest rates fall, the "Fair Value" of held securities will rise (unrealized Gains). The opposite occurs as market interest rates rise (market prices of held investments will fall). It should be noted that investments held in the city pool are to be held until maturity so both gains and losses (unrealized) will not be taken.

1 TO: City Council
FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Lina Hernandez, Deputy City Manager/Public Works Director MEETING DATE: December 17, 2024
SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement with United Pacific Services, Inc. for Urban Forestry & Inventory
RECOMMENDATION
Award an Agreement for Urban Forestry & Inventory Services to United Pacific Services, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $70,414 per year for a three-year term; and authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement.
BACKGROUND
The City utilizes contract tree trimming and maintenance services to perform annual tree maintenance to comply with urban forestry standards within the City. These services reduce the City’s risk and liability, contribute to maintaining public safety, improve tree health and structure, and make the City more aesthetically pleasing.
The City is divided into seven tree maintenance zones (A-G). Work is generally planned on a grid system, pruning the designated zones on a regular schedule. Service is also complete on an as needed basis. The previous agreement with United Pacific Services, Inc for Urban Forestry & Inventory Services, expired this year. The City has completed work in-house since the expiration of the contract.
On October 16, 2024, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Urban Forestry & Inventory Services. Two proposals were received by the deadline of November 13, 2024, from the following companies:
1. United Pacific Services, Inc.
2. West Coast Arborists, Inc.
CITY OF LOMITA

Item No. 8j
Tuesday, December 17, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *74
2 Staff reviewed the proposals by evaluating each company’s experience, credentials, proposal, and total aggregate costs for the expected needs of the City. After thorough review, staff recommends United Pacific Services, Inc. as their proposal best aligned with the needs of the City.
In addition to providing services competently to the City from 2021-2024, United Pacific Services, Inc. has provided comparable service to many cities and public agencies including Downey, Pasadena, Los Angeles, and Caltrans.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for these professional services are included in the FY24-26 budget in the Tree Trimming Contract Account 205-620-5350.000. This agreement has been structured to provide for an annual budget of $70,414 for these Citywide services, which will be reflected in the City’s future budget.

A. Prevailing Wage. CONTRACTOR is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Section 1720, et seq., and 1770, et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 16000, et seq., ("Prevailing Wage Laws"), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on "public works" and "maintenance" projects. If the services are being performed as part of an applicable "public works" or "maintenance" project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if the total compensation is $1,000 or more, CONTRACTOR agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws.
Upon request, CITY shall provide CONTRACTOR with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this Agreement.
CONTRACTOR shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the services available Tuesday, December 17, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *78
to interested parties upon request and shall post copies at the CONTRACTOR’S principal place of business and at the project site. It is the intent of the parties to effectuate the requirements of sections 1771, 1774, 1775, 1776, 1777.5, 1813, and 1815 of the Labor Code within this Agreement, and CONTRACTOR shall therefore comply with such Labor Code sections to the fullest extent required by law.
CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify and hold the CITY, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws.
B. Registration/DIR Compliance. If the services are being performed on a public works project of over $25,000 when the project is for construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair work, or a public works project of over $15,000 when the project is for maintenance work, in addition to the foregoing, then pursuant to Labor Code sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, CONTRACTOR and all subcontractors must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”). CONTRACTOR shall maintain registration for the duration of the project and require the same of any subcontractors. This project may also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. It shall be CONTRACTOR’S sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements, including the submission of payroll records directly to the DIR. Any stop orders issued by the DIR against CONTRACTOR or any subcontractors that affect CONTRACTOR’S performance of services, including any delay, shall be CONTRACTOR’S sole responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered CONTRACTOR caused delay and shall not be compensable by CITY.
CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify and hold CITY, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the DIR against CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor.
C. Labor Certification. By its signature hereunder, CONTRACTOR certifies that it is aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the California Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for Worker's Compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that Code and agrees to comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the Services.
D. Employment of Apprentices. CONTRACTOR and all subcontractors shall comply with the requirements of Labor Code sections 1777.5 and 1777.6 in the employment of apprentices.

E. CONTRACTOR or subcontractors may not perform work on a public works project with a subcontractor who is ineligible to perform work on a public project pursuant to Labor Code section 1777.1 or 1777.7. Any contract on a public works project entered into between the CONTRACTOR and a debarred subcontractor is void as a matter of law. A debarred subcontractor may not receive any public money for performing work as a subcontractor on a public works contract. Any public money Tuesday, December 17, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *79
that is paid or may have been paid to a debarred subcontractor by CONTRACTOR on the project shall be returned to CITY. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the payment of wages to workers of a debarred subcontractor who has been allowed to work on the Project.
F. CONTRACTOR agrees to bind every subcontractor to the terms of the Agreement as far as such terms are applicable to subcontractor’s portion of the work.

B. CONTRACTOR may terminate this Agreement. Notice will be in writing at least 30 days before the effective termination date.
C.

D. Should the Agreement be terminated pursuant to this Section, CITY may procure on its own terms services similar to those terminated.
15. INDEMNIFICATION.
A. CONTRACTOR shall indemnify, defend with counsel approved by CITY, and hold harmless CITY, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, cost (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with CONTRACTOR's performance of work hereunder or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this AGREEMENT, regardless of CITY’S passive negligence, but excepting such loss or damage which is caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of CITY. Should CITY in its sole discretion find CONTRACTOR’S legal counsel unacceptable, then CONTRACTOR shall reimburse CITY its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation.
CONTRACTOR shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against CITY (and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers) covered by this indemnity obligation. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State Tuesday, December 17, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *80
of California and will survive termination of this Agreement.
B. The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be maintained by CONTRACTOR as required by Section 20, and any approval of said insurance by CITY, are not intended to and will not in any manner limit or qualify the liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions concerning indemnification.
16. ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement is for CONTRACTOR’s professional services.
CONTRACTOR’s attempts to assign the benefits or burdens of this Agreement without CITY’s written approval are prohibited and will be null and void.
17. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. CITY and CONTRACTOR agree that THE CONTRACTOR will act as an independent contractor and will have control of all work and the manner in which it is performed. THE CONTRACTOR will be free to contract for similar service to be performed for other employees while under contract with CITY. CONTRACTOR is not an agent or employee of CITY and is not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance, bonus or similar benefits CITY provides for its employees. Any provision in this Agreement that may appear to give CITY the right to direct CONTRACTOR as to the details of doing the work or to exercise a measure of control over the work means that CONTRACTOR will follow the direction of the CITY as to end results of the work only.
18. AUDIT OF RECORDS.
A. THE CONTRACTOR agrees that CITY, or designee, has the right to review, obtain, and copy all records pertaining to the performance of this Agreement.
CONTRACTOR agrees to provide CITY, or designee, with any relevant information requested and will permit CITY, or designee, access to its premises, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours for the purpose of interviewing employees and inspecting and copying such books, records, accounts, and other material that may be relevant to a matter under investigation for the purpose of determining compliance with this Agreement.
CONTRACTOR further agrees to maintain such records for a period of three (3) years following final payment under this Agreement.
B. CONTRACTOR will keep all books, records, accounts and documents pertaining to this Agreement separate from other activities unrelated to this Agreement.
19. CORRECTIVE MEASURES. CONTRACTOR will promptly implement any corrective measures required by CITY regarding the requirements and obligations of this Agreement.

20. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.
A. CONTRACTOR, at CONTRACTOR’s own cost and expense, shall procure and maintain, for the duration of the contract, the following insurance policies:
1. Workers Compensation Insurance as required by law. CONTRACTOR shall require all subcontractors similarly to provide such compensation insurance for their respective employees. Any notice of cancellation or non-renewal of all Workers’ Compensation policies must be received by CITY at least thirty (30) days prior to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against CITY, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by CONTRACTOR for CITY.
2. General Liability Coverage. CONTRACTOR shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. If a commercial general liability insurance form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit.
3. Automobile Liability Coverage. CONTRACTOR shall maintain automobile liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of CONTRACTOR arising out of or in connection with the work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles, in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit for each occurrence.
4. Professional Liability Coverage. CONTRACTOR shall maintain professional errors and omissions liability insurance for protection against claims alleging negligent acts, errors, or omissions which may arise from CONTRACTOR’S operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by CONTRACTOR or by its employees, subcontractors, or subcontractors. The amount of this insurance shall not be less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) on a claims-made annual aggregate basis, or a combined single-limit-per-occurrence basis. When coverage is provided on a “claims made basis,” CONTRACTOR will continue to renew the insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated.
Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will cover CONTRACTOR for all claims made by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions of CONTRACTOR, or its officers, employees or agents during the time this Agreement was in effect.
B. Endorsements. Each general liability, automobile liability and professional liability insurance policy shall be issued by a financially responsible insurance company or companies admitted and authorized to do business in the State of Tuesday, December 17, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *82
California, or which is approved in writing by CITY, and shall be endorsed as follows. CONTRACTOR also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.
1. “The CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the CONTRACTOR, including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.”
2. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.
Any insurance maintained by CITY, including any self-insured retention CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with this policy.
3. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.
4. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, or agents.
5. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers.
6. The insurance provided by this policy shall not be suspended, voided, canceled, or reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days’ written notice has been received by CITY.
C. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss against Contractor arising out of the work performed under this agreement.
CITY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve CITY.
D. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by CITY. At CITY’s option, CONTRACTOR shall demonstrate financial capability for payment of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.
E. CONTRACTOR shall provide certificates of insurance with original endorsements to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein.
Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with CITY on or before commencement of performance of this Agreement. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with CITY at all times during the term of this Agreement.
Tuesday, December 17, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *83
F. Failure on the part of CONTRACTOR to procure or maintain the required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which CITY may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 14 above.
G. The commercial general and automobile liability policies required by this Agreement shall allow CITY, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention (“SIR”) and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the CONTRACTOR (as the named insured) should CONTRACTOR fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements. The amount of the SIR or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the City Attorney and the Finance Director. CONTRACTOR understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by CONTRACTOR as primary insured to pay its SIR or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should CITY pay the SIR or deductible on CONTRACTOR’S behalf upon CONTRACTOR’S failure or refusal to do so to secure defense and indemnification as an additional insured under the policy, CITY may include such amounts as damages in any action against Contractor for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by CITY due to the breach.
21. USE OF OTHER CONTRACTORS. THE CONTRACTOR must obtain CITY’s prior written approval to use any Contractors while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must include approval of the proposed Contractor and the terms of compensation.
22. FINAL PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE CONSTITUTES RELEASE. The acceptance by the CONTRACTOR of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of CITY from all claims and liabilities for compensation to the CONTRACTOR for anything done, furnished or relating to the CONTRACTOR’S work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of CITY’S check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by CITY shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of CONTRACTOR, its employees, sub-Contractors and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by CITY for any defect or error in the work prepared by CONTRACTOR, its employees, sub-Contractors and agents.
23. CORRECTIONS. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, the CONTRACTOR shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during the CITY’S review of CONTRACTOR’S report or plans. Should the CONTRACTOR fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction shall be made by CITY, and the cost thereof shall be charged to CONTRACTOR. In addition to all other available remedies, CITY may deduct the cost of such correction from any retention amount held by CITY or may withhold payment otherwise owed CONTRACTOR under this Agreement up to the amount of the cost of correction.
Tuesday, December 17, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *84
24. NON-APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. Payments to be made to CONTRACTOR by CITY for services preformed within the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and within an available, unexhausted fund. In the event that CITY does not appropriate sufficient funds for payment of CONTRACTOR’S services beyond the current fiscal year, the Agreement shall cover payment for CONTRACTOR’S only to the conclusion of the last fiscal year in which CITY appropriates sufficient funds and shall automatically terminate at the conclusion of such fiscal year.

1 TO: City Council
FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Susan Kamada, Administrative Services Director MEETING DATE: December 17, 2024
SUBJECT: Consideration of the Acceptance of the City's Audit Report and Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for Fiscal Year 2023-2024
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR).
BACKGROUND
Attached is the City of Lomita’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. These reports are in full compliance with the most recent financial reporting model developed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). The most recent financial reporting model is intended to improve financial accountability by adding significant information not previously available in local government financial statements.
The City’s implementation of the most recent model enables the City Council and residents of Lomita to become more aware of the City’s financial condition and the information contained in its annual financial statements.
During the year ended June 30, 2024, the City adopted Statement on Governmental Accounting Standards (GASB Statement) No. 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. The primary objective of this statement is to enhance accounting and financial reporting requirements for accounting changes (such as changes in accounting principles and estimates) and error corrections to provide more understandable, reliable, consistent, and comparable information for making decisions or assessing accountability.
Statements can be found in Note 1 of the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.
CITY OF LOMITA
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 8k
Tuesday, December 17, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *165
2 The goal of the annual audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the City’s financial statements are free of material misstatement. The City’s independent auditor, Gruber and Lopez, Inc., found no “material misstatements” or “reportable conditions” during the audit.
The City has once again submitted the ACFR for consideration for the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). To receive this award, a government agency must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report. If the City receives the Certificate of Achievement as expected, this will be the 21st consecutive year that the City has received this award. While this effort was coordinated by the Administrative Services Department, it required the cooperation and participation of all City departments. We would like to thank the Mayor and members of the City Council for their support in planning and conducting the financial operations of the City in a responsible and progressive manner.
Below are the financial highlights of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report:

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council:
We have audited the financial statements of the government activities, business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Lomita, California (City) for the year ended June 30, 2024, and have issued our report thereon dated December 10, 2024. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, as well as certain information related to the engagement contract dated July 18, 2024.
Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.
Significant Audit Findings
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practice
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the City are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The City adopted Statement on Governmental Accounting Standards (GASB Statement) No. 100-Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. The adoption of the GASB No. 100 did not significantly impact the City. We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the City’s financial statements were:
Management’s estimate of capitalizing certain infrastructure assets that prolong its’ useful life (as opposed to classifying as routine maintenance expense) and depreciation expense on capital assets. We have evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to estimate the capitalization of infrastructure assets and useful lives on depreciation expense in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Management’s estimate of the net pension liability and net OPEB liability and their allocation to various funds. We have evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to estimate the net pension liability and its allocation to various funds of the City in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

2 City of Lomita
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosure affecting the financial statements was:
The disclosure of Contingencies in Note 11 to the financial statements concerning potential claims against the City for possible disallowed costs or noncompliance with certain grantor restrictions. As of the date of this letter, Management is not aware of any disallowed costs or noncompliance with grantor restrictions.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. We noted no significant adjustments as a result of audit procedures. We were not aware of any significant uncorrected misstatements.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated December 10, 2024.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the City’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations.
Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as City of Lomita’s auditors.
However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to City of Lomita, which is required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements.
We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.
We were engaged to report on the supplementary information as described in the table of contents in the financial statements, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI.
With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.
We were not engaged to report on the supplementary information as described in the table of contents in the financial statements, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI.
We did not audit or perform other procedures on this other information and we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.
Restriction on Use
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council and management, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

36 CITY OF LOMITA
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
(1) Reporting City and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, (Continued) (p) New Accounting Pronouncements
For the year ended June 30, 2024, the financial statements include the adoption of GASB Statement No. 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. The primary objective of this statement is to enhance accounting and financial reporting requirements for accounting changes (such as changes in accounting principles and estimates) and error corrections to provide more understandable, reliable, consistent, and comparable information for making decisions or assessing accountability. See Note 14 for the effect on the current year financial statements.
(q) Leases and Subscription Agreements
Lessee: The City is a lessee for a noncancellable lease of equipment and software subscriptions. The City recognizes a lease or subscription agreement liability and an intangible right-to-use lease or subscription agreement asset (lease asset) in the government-wide financial statements. The City recognizes lease liabilities with an initial, individual value of $5,000 or more.
At the commencement of a lease or subscription agreement, the City initially measures the lease liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the lease or subscription agreement term. Subsequently, the liability is reduced by the principal portion of payments made. The lease or subscription agreement asset is initially measured as the initial amount of the liability, adjusted for payments made at or before the commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs. Subsequently, the asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life.
Key estimates and judgments related to leases include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease payments to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) payments. The City uses the interest rate charged by the lessor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the lessor is not provided, the City generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases.
The term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease payments included in the measurement of the liability are composed of fixed payments and purchase option price that the City is reasonably certain to exercise.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure the lease asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease liability.
Lease or subscription agreement assets are reported with other capital assets and lease or subscription agreement liabilities are reported with long-term debt on the Statement of Net Position.

County of Los Angeles, Auditor-Controller Office/Tax Division City Parcel Counts
In 1978 the voters of the State of California passed Proposition 13 which limited property taxes to a total maximum rate of 1% based upon the assessed value of the property being taxed. Each year, the assessed value of property may be increased by an "inflation factor" (limited to a maximum increase of 2%). With few exceptions, property is only re-assessed at the time that it is sold to a new owner. At that point, the new assessed value is reassessed at the purchase price of the property sold. The assessed valuation data shown above represents the only data currently available with respect to the actual market value of taxable property and is subject to the limitations described above.

In 1978, California voters passed Proposition 13 which sets the property tax rate at a 1.00% fixed amount. This 1.00% is shared by all taxing agencies for which the subject property resides within. In addition to the 1.00% fixed amount, property owners are charged taxes as a percentage of assessed property values for the payment of the Los Angeles Unified School District bonds.

However, this provision was enacted when assessed valuation was based upon 25% OF MARKET VALUE. Effective with 1981-82 fiscal year, each parcel is now assessed at 100% of market value (as of the most recent change in ownership for that parcel). The Computations shown above reflect a conversion of assessed valuation data for each fiscal year from current full valuation perspective to the 25% level that was in effect at the time the legal debt margin was enacted by the State of California for local governments located within the State.

Notes:
1 For debt repaid with property taxes, the percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable assessed property values. Applicable percentages were estimated by determining the portion of another governmental unit's taxable assessed value that is within the city's boundaries and dividing it by each unit's total taxable assessed value.
Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the City. This schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents and businesses of the City. This process recognizes that, when considering the City's ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident, and therefore responsible for repaying the debt, of each overlapping government.

1 TO: City Council
FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Lina Hernandez, Deputy City Manager/Public Works Director MEETING DATE: December 17, 2024
SUBJECT: First Amendment to the Agreement with Hazen and Sawyer for Design Services for the Downtown Lomita Multi-Benefit Stormwater Project
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the First Amendment to Agreement 2023-49 with Hazen and Sawyer for Design Services for the Downtown Lomita Multi-Benefit Stormwater Project; approve Change Order No. 1; appropriate an additional $215,740 plus a 10% contingency of $21,574 for unexpected costs in a total amount not to exceed $237,314 from Measure W Municipal Fund; and authorize the City Manager to execute the Amendment.
BACKGROUND
The Engineering Design Services provided by Hazen and Sawyer for the Downtown Lomita Multi-Benefit Stormwater Project includes the design of stormwater features along Lomita Boulevard and Narbonne Avenue to mitigate local and downstream flood risk, improve water quality, and reduce the heat island effect in the downtown Lomita area. In addition, the project includes features to beautify the neighborhood and promote healthy transportation and recreation. The Project is intended to divert 5.6 acre-feet of stormwater from Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD) storm drains in the downtown area of Lomita to stormwater control features in the area. Additional proposed features include bioretention areas, pervious pavement, planting of vegetation with droughttolerant native plants, 45 new shade trees, 10 benches, bike locking stations, educational signage, and a bike lane along a section of Lomita Boulevard.
The City Council approved the award of this design contract to Hazen and Sawyer on December 19, 2023. Hazen and Sawyer was given the Notice to Proceed with the work on January 9, 2024.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 8l
Tuesday, December 17, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *340
2 DISCUSSION
The initial design included an infiltration gallery on Narbonne Avenue and a series of dry wells along Lomita Boulevard. The initial stages of the design revealed two significant challenges.
Initially, research revealed that a gas station had previously occupied the site of the proposed location for the infiltration gallery. While the site had been remediated for previous underground storage tank leakage, it was determined that the site would not be suitable for a project that would infiltrate significant quantities of water into the soil at this site.
A subsequent geotechnical study revealed lower-than-expected infiltration rates in all locations. As a result, the number of dry wells necessary to infiltrate the same amount of stormwater was too large to be feasible. Therefore, it was determined that one larger infiltration gallery, rather than a small infiltration gallery and a series of dry wells, would be the best option.
The City and Hazen and Sawyer researched many options for potential sites for an infiltration gallery including City-owned properties, private properties, public-private partnerships, and a partnership with LAUSD. Most options were rejected because of excessive cost for piping to reach long distances to parks, the need to install pipes at great depths due to other underground utilities, and the need to purchase property, or because of the acceptance of excessive liability if partnering with other entities. This lengthy process resulted in two releases of contingency amounts totaling $24,000.
It was determined that the ideal property would be City-owned, near the intersection of Narbonne Avenue and Lomita Boulevard, and large enough to hold the infiltration gallery.
The City Hall front lawn and rear parking lot have been identified as ideal locations for the infiltration gallery.
A geotechnical investigation, hydraulic modeling, and design modifications will need to be performed for the newly proposed locations. Change Order No. 1 and the previously released contingencies of $24,000 are for the additional investigations and analyses necessary due to the discoveries described above.
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff is recommending authorizing an additional appropriation in the amount of $215,740 plus a 10% contingency of $21,574 for unexpected costs for a total additional not to exceed amount of $237,314 from the Measure W Municipal Fund. City Council approved an appropriation of $939,155 on December 19, 2023. This current request is in addition to the previously appropriated amount. The City has sufficient funds in its Measure W Tuesday, December 17, 2024 Reg CC MTG, Page *341
3 Municipal Fund to cover these additional costs.
Based on the change order fee amount, sufficient funds are available to fund the additional design costs of the project.
OPTIONS
1. Approve Staff’s recommendations.
2. Provide staff with further direction.
