Due to the COVID pandemic, the City received grant approval in May 2021, almost two years after its application was submitted. Finally, in 2024 the City awarded the construction contract, but by this time the total project cost estimate had increased to over $2.4 million.

Staff worked extensively with CalOES (the in-between agency for FEMA) for a budget modification consideration, behind a long line of other projects also requesting additional funding. Finally, in March 2025 the City was advised of available funding and was invited to submit a formal budget increase request and an updated commitment letter for $607,590.75, the City’s 25% cost share.

As there were no questions for staff and no requests from the public to speak on this item, Mayor Waronek invited Council discussion or a motion.

Councilmember Waite made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Gazeley, to approve the recommended action.

MOTION CARRIED by the following vote:

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution directing the Public Works Director to prepare the Engineer’s Report for Landscape Maintenance District No. 1.

Assistant City Manager Hernandez presented the staff report per the agenda material.

This is the first step to establishing the annual fees for the district, as the Engineer’s Report estimates the costs for maintenance for the following fiscal year.

There was brief Council discussion relative to the cost to the City and whether the expense to is high enough to warrant consideration of discontinuing the district at some point.

1 TO: City Council
FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Lina Hernandez, Assistant City Manager
MEETING DATE: May 6, 2025
SUBJECT: Agreements for Work Related to the Downtown Lomita Streetscape Enhancement Project and Repurposing the Circle of Honor Ad Hoc Subcommittee to the Downtown Lomita Streetscape Enhancement Project Ad Hoc Subcommittee

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Shariden Design Asphalt for decorative asphalt surfacing services in the amount of $25,415 with an additional contingency for unexpected costs of 15% in the amount of $3,813, for a total contract amount not to exceed $29,228; Authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with David Volz Design for median landscape design services in the amount of $32,500, with an additional contingency for unexpected costs of 15% in the amount of $4,875, for a total contract amount not to exceed $37,375; and, Authorize repurposing the Circle of Honor Ad Hoc Subcommittee to the Downtown Lomita Streetscapes Enhancement Project Ad Hoc Subcommittee.

BACKGROUND
On January 21, 2025, the City Council approved the Downtown Lomita Streetscape Enhancement Project and appropriated $230,0000 from the General Fund toward several upgrades to enhance public space and create a more active and delineated downtown in the general area that intersects Lomita Blvd. and Narbonne Ave, serving as the City’s center for charming small restaurants, businesses, and mixed-use developments.

The approved Downtown Lomita Streetscape Enhancement Project has four components intended to maintain and expand a strong retail business environment, a sense of uniqueness, and a functional and welcoming cultural area. • Installation of the thermal coated City “L” Logo at the Narbonne Avenue and Lomita Blvd intersection.

CITY OF LOMITA

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 7d
Tuesday, May 06, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *37
2 • Commissioning a Landscape Design Plan for the barren medians on Lomita Blvd, east and west of Narbonne Avenue.
• Replacement of the four overhead street name signs on Lomita Blvd. and Narbonne Avenue.
• Overhead string lighting along Narbonne Avenue between 241st and 247th Streets.

These improvements are in line with the 2018 Retail Analysis and Downtown Strategy Plan and the 2019 Downtown Lomita Design Manual.

The City has been successfully hosting more and larger community events in Downtown Lomita, such as the two-day Founders Day Celebration, the Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony, Movies Under the Stars, Spring and Summer Concert Series, National Night Out & Classic Car Show and popular graduate photo backdrop. Lomita has welcomed Cream Pan Bakery, The Slip Bar & Eatery, and new 16-unit condominium development on 245th Street and Woodward Avenue as part of its ongoing economic development efforts in this area. The restoration of the Downtown Post Clock and the vintage Lomita Welcome Signs as well as the design and eventual construction of the Circle of Honor Wall as part of our Civic Center Improvements Project are among the additional enhancement projects in progress for the overall improvements to Downtown Lomita.

DISCUSSION
Decorative Asphalt Thermal Surfacing Surfaces
The City Council approved the installation of a simplified, cursive capital “L” with a palm tree and little hill (Attachment 1) to represent the City’s branding identity at the Lomita Blvd and Narbonne Ave intersection using a heat-reflective decorative asphalt surfacing system. Enclosed with this staff report (Attachment 2), for the City Council’s consideration, is an agreement with Shariden Design Asphalt to complete this work. It is anticipated that the installation will be completed by the Founders Day celebration.

Median Landscape Design Services
Lomita Blvd and Narbonne Avenue are two of the main throughfares in the City. Currently, the medians located on Lomita Blvd. east and west of Narbonne Ave. are mostly barren with wood chips and a few palm trees and small shrubs. Upgrading the landscape along this important corridor will make a positive impact on the community along with other proposed elements of this downtown enhancement project.

Should the City Council approve, enclosed with this staff report (Attachment 3) is a proposal from David Volz Design (DVD) to develop a plan to beautify the landscape area.

DVD’s highway corridor improvement projects have been recognized for their community defining designs and received recognition and awards from the American Public Works Association (APWA). The preliminary landscape designs will include photos and samples of the plantings and materials proposed, including mature trees, flowering shrubs, new irrigation systems, lighting costs and an emphasis on a greater green impact along this Tuesday, May 06, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *38
3 corridor. This work will serve as the basis of design for construction documents which will be prepared under a separate contract.

Ad Hoc Committee
As the design of this project progresses, it is recommended that an Ad Hoc Subcommittee be established to include input from the City Council. The Circle of Honor Ad Hoc Committee was established on July 18, 2023 consisting of Mayor Pro Tem Cindy Segawa and Councilmember Bill Uphoff. This project has been placed on hold until next year to be considered by the City Council to allow the City to secure grants and partner funding.

It is staff’s recommendation that the Circle of Honor Ad Hoc Committee be repurposed to the Downtown Lomita Streetscape Enhancement Project Ad Hoc Committee, maintain Mayor Pro Tem Cindy Segawa and Councilmember Bill Uphoff as its members, and set an expiration date for the Subcommittee of June 30, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the installation of thermal coated City logo at the intersection is $25,415 with an additional contingency for unexpected costs of 15% in the amount of $3,813, for a total contract amount not to exceed $29,228. The cost of the conceptual and schematic landscape median design is $32,500, plus an additional 15% contingency amount of $4,875, to a total not to exceed amount of $37,375. Funding for the project is included in the Adopted Budget with the City Council previously appropriating $230,000 from the General Fund for these upgrades.

Costs associated with the construction of the landscape medians will be determined once the design is complete and will be brought to the City Council for consideration.

OPTIONS
Approve recommended action.

A. Except as otherwise provided, CITY may terminate this Agreement at any time with or without cause. Notice of termination shall be in writing.

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

C. In the event of such termination, CONSULTANT shall cease services as of the date of termination, all finished or unfinished documents, data, drawings, maps, and other materials prepared by CONSULTANT shall, at CITY’s option, become CITY’s property, and CONSULTANT will receive just and equitable compensation for any work satisfactorily completed up to the effective date of notice of termination.

12. ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement is for CONSULTANT’s professional services.

CONSULTANT’s attempts to assign the benefits or burdens of this Agreement without CITY’s written approval are prohibited and will be null and void.

13. INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT. CITY and CONSULTANT agree that CONSULTANT will act as an independent CONSULTANT and will have control of all work and the manner in which is it performed. CONSULTANT will be free to contract for similar service to be performed for other employers while under contract with CITY. CONSULTANT 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 CONSULTANT as to the details of doing the work or to exercise a measure of control over the work means that CONSULTANT will follow the direction of the CITY as to end results of the work only.

14. AUDIT OF RECORDS.

A. CONSULTANT agrees that CITY, or designee, has the right to review, obtain, and copy all records pertaining to the performance of this Agreement.

CONSULTANT 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.

CONSULTANT further agrees to maintain such records for a period of three (3) years following final payment under this Agreement.

B. CONSULTANT will keep all books, records, accounts and documents pertaining to this Agreement separate from other activities unrelated to this Agreement.

15. CORRECTIVE MEASURES. CONSULTANT will promptly implement any corrective measures required by CITY regarding the requirements and obligations of this Agreement. CONSULTANT will be given a reasonable amount of time as determined by CITY to implement said corrective measures. Failure of CONSULTANT to implement required corrective measures shall result in immediate termination of this Agreement.

16. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.

A. CONSULTANT, at CONSULTANT’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. CONSULTANT shall require all subconsultants similarly to provide such compensation insurance Tuesday, May 06, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *45

Page 5 of 10 ends

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 CONSULTANT for CITY.

2. General Liability Coverage. CONSULTANT 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. CONSULTANT shall maintain automobile liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of CONSULTANT 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.

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 California, or which is approved in writing by CITY, and shall be endorsed as follows. CONSULTANT also agrees to require all CONSULTANTs, and subconsultants 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 CONSULTANT, 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 Tuesday, May 06, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *46

Page 6 of 10 ends

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. CONSULTANT agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss against CONSULTANT 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, CONSULTANT shall demonstrate financial capability for payment of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.

E. CONSULTANT 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.

F. Failure on the part of CONSULTANT to procure or maintain required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which CITY may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11 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 CONSULTANT (as the named insured) should CONSULTANT 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. CONSULTANT understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by CONSULTANT as primary insured to pay its SIR or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should CITY pay the SIR or deductible on CONSULTANT’S behalf upon CONSULTANT’S failure or refusal to do so in order to secure defense and indemnification as an additional insured under the policy, CITY may include such amounts as damages in any action against CONSULTANT for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by CITY due to the breach.

17. USE OF OTHER CONSULTANTS. CONSULTANT must obtain CITY’s prior written approval to use any CONSULTANTs while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must include approval of the proposed CONSULTANT and the terms of compensation.

Tuesday, May 06, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *47

Page 7 of 10 ends

18. FINAL PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE CONSTITUTES RELEASE. The acceptance by the CONSULTANT 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 CONSULTANT for anything done, furnished or relating to the CONSULTANT’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 CONSULTANT, its employees, sub-CONSULTANTs 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 CONSULTANT, its employees, sub-CONSULTANTs and agents.

19. CORRECTIONS. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, the CONSULTANT shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during CITY’S review of CONSULTANT’S report or plans. Should the CONSULTANT 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 CONSULTANT. 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 CONSULTANT under this Agreement up to the amount of the cost of correction.

20. NON-APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. Payments to be made to CONSULTANT 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 CONSULTANT’S services beyond the current fiscal year, the Agreement shall cover payment for CONSULTANT’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. Workers Compensation Insurance as required by law. CONSULTANT shall Tuesday, May 06, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *56

Page 5 of 11 ends

require all subconsultants 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 CONSULTANT for CITY.

4. Professional Liability Coverage. CONSULTANT shall maintain professional errors and omissions liability insurance for protection against claims alleging negligent acts, errors, or omissions which may arise from CONSULTANT’S operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by CONSULTANT or by its employees, subconsultants, or subconsultants. 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,” CONSULTANT will continue to renew the insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated.

Page 6 of 11 ends

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.

C. CONSULTANT agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss against CONSULTANT 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.

RE: PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE DESIGN
SERVICES FOR LOMITA BLVD. MEDIANS
Dear Mr. Flores,
Lomita Boulevard is one of the main thoroughfares
in the City, upgrading the landscape to a beautiful
drought tolerant planting scheme along this
important corridor will make a positive impact on your
community. David Volz Design has developed inspired
plans for hundreds of highway corridor improvement
projects for cities throughout California. Several of these projects have been recognized for their community defining designs and received recognition and awards from APWA.

Our design studio is currently working on important street right-of-way projects in Fontana, Indian Wells, and Anaheim. These projects include street median plantings of unique water saving landscapes that respond to the neighborhoods, and community aesthetics where they are being implemented.

The Lomita Boulevard landscape that DVD envisions is one that will provide great color and interest for the many travelers along this street. We will design medians that reflect the guidelines for street median landscapes being developed with the City Council. The enhancement landscape will include appropriate street trees, flowering shrubs and an emphasis on a greater “green” impact along this thoroughfare. Low water use plantings and new irrigation systems will be designed for each median. We will also include conceptual lighting design and opinion of probable construction cost. This work effort will serve as the basis of design for construction documents which will be prpeared under a separate contract.

Should you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to call.

Very truly yours,

DAVID VOLZ DESIGN

FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Adrian Fernandez, Community and Economic Development Director
MEETING DATE: May 6, 2025
SUBJECT: Policy for Multi-Family Residential Unit Proactive Inspections

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 2025-12 establishing a policy for proactive multi-family residential unit inspections, and find the action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

BACKGROUND
In 2024, Assembly Bill (AB) 548 was passed and codified as Health and Safety Code 17970.7 requiring local enforcement agencies to develop policies and procedures by January 1, 2025. AB 548 introduced a proactive inspection framework for multi-unit housing complexes in order to protect tenants’ rights and ensure safe living conditions.

The Resolution will allow Code Enforcement to evaluate whether identified violations within a unit have the potential to affect additional units on the property and require noticing and follow up inspections including any additional requirements outlined in the Lomita Municipal Code.

DISCUSSION
Under this housing inspection policy, code enforcement officers will now have clear procedures for responding to violations in multi-unit complexes. Key elements of the policy include:

1. Proactive Inspections: Building inspectors and code enforcement officers may inspect units found to be in violation of Health and Safety Code (HSC) Section 17920.3 or 17920.10 and determine if these violations could affect neighboring

CITY OF LOMITA

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 7f
Tuesday, May 06, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *73
2 units. Factors such as building age, construction methods, and the cause of the violation will be considered.

2. Noticing: Following the inspection, both property owners and tenants will receive notices detailing the violations and corrective actions required. This includes tenants of adjacent units that could be impacted by the violations.

3. Re-Inspections: Officers will conduct follow-up inspections to ensure that violations have been corrected within the timeframe provided in the notice.

The adoption of the Resolution will enhance tenant protections and improve living conditions within Lomita’s multi-unit complexes. This code provides clear procedures for inspections, notice issuance, and follow-up actions, ensuring that property violations are addressed promptly and efficiently.

FISCAL IMPACT
There are no financial implications resulting from this recommendation.

OPTIONS
Approve recommended action.

ACTION IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL

QUALITY ACT

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOMITA DOES HEREBY FIND, ORDER AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Recitals
I. Assembly Bill (AB) 548 was authorized by the Governor in October of 2023 and establishes the ability for cities to act on unhealthy or unsafe code violations in a multi-unit complex by inspecting and notifying other tenants of substandard conditions within the shared property.

II. AB 548 requires cities to adopt policies and procedures for inspecting a building with multiple units if an inspector or code enforcement officer has determined that a unit is substandard and the inspector or code enforcement officer determines that the defects or violations have the potential to affect other units of the building.

III. The City will proactively address health and safety concerns pursuant to Health and Safety Code (HSC) section 17920.3 or in violation of HSC section 17920.10 in order to protect tenants’ rights.

Section 2. Adoption of the policy does not constitute a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080(a) and State CEQA Guidelines section 15378 since adoption of the Ordinance does not have the potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

Section 3. General Plan. The City Council hereby finds that the adoption of the policy is consistent with the General Plan as a matter of law under Government Code section 66314(c).

POLICY FOR MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNIT INSPECTIONS
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to protect tenants’ rights and their living conditions in multiunit complexes. This policy will provide procedures for proactive inspections of multi-unit complexes. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 17970.7, building inspectors and code enforcement officers shall now have a procedure for inspecting a multi-unit complex when there is a violation of Health and Safety Code (“HSC”) section 17920.3 or HSC section 17920.10, and the building inspector/code enforcement officer determines that the defects or violations have the potential to affect other units of the building.

II. DEFINITIONS
Substandard living conditions- any condition which exists to an extent that it endangers the life, limb, property, safety or welfare of the occupants or general public.

Property-a lot or parcel of land together with all the structures located thereon.

III. POLICY
It is the policy of the City of Lomita to properly handle violations of substandard living conditions within multi-unit complexes and to maintain an accurate record of noticing in order to protect tenants’ rights and the living conditions of the community.

IV. PROCEDURES
A. Inspection
All inspections are to be consistent with the current laws and inspection practices in place.

Upon inspection of a unit within a multi-unit complex that is determined by the code enforcement officer to be substandard pursuant to HSC section 17920.3 or in violation of HSC section 17920.10, the code enforcement officer must determine whether those violations are such that they could reasonably affect additional units in the complex. The code enforcement officer shall document and photograph all violations that support the need for proactive inspection of adjacent or potentially affected units to ensure tenant safety.

B. Determination
When determining whether to inspect additional units, the building inspector/code enforcement officer may consider factors including, but not limited to:
• building type,
• building age,
• building size,
• construction method,
• cause of the substandard condition,
Tuesday, May 06, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *77
• history of violations, and
• lack of running water, electricity, or heating as defined in the state housing law.

A non-exhaustive list of violations that could reasonably affect other units are:
• mold,
• mildew,
• pests,
• lead hazards;
• structural damage or deterioration; and/or
• obstructing access.

If one of the above listed or another violation is present and the building inspector/code enforcement officer determines the violation[s] could reasonably affect other units, the building inspector/code enforcement officer must inspect or attempt to inspect the following:
• adjacent units (above, below, and neighboring) and
• any additional units that the code enforcement officer determines could be reasonably affected.

If the violations are so severe and widespread as determined by the building inspector/code enforcement officer, the building inspector/code enforcement officer must inspect or attempt to inspect all units within the building. In the event the tenants of adjacent and reasonably affected units do not respond to the request to inspect, the building inspector/code enforcement officer may seek an inspection warrant on the basis of the violations in the adjacent unit.

C. Notice Requirements
Upon the conclusion of the inspection, and within a reasonable time, the building inspector/code enforcement officer shall draft a notice or order to repair or abate to advise the owner/operator and tenant of each known violation and of each action required to remedy the violation. Notice must be issued to the following:
• property owner/operator,
• tenant of unit,
• tenants of adjacent units (above, below, and neighboring), and • tenants of additional units that the building inspector/code enforcement officer determines could be reasonably affected.

The notice should include the following:
• date of the inspection,
• a non-exhaustive list of violation[s],
• time frame in which to remedy the corrective actions, and • anything required under the City’s municipal code (i.e. right to appeal).

If the violations are so severe and widespread as determined by the building inspector/code enforcement officer, the building inspector/code enforcement officer must Tuesday, May 06, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *78
notify all tenants within the building.

D. Re-Inspection
The building inspector/code enforcement officer must schedule a re-inspection to verify the anticipated corrections outlined in the notice or order to repair or abate.

1 TO: City Council
FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Juan Ibarra, Senior Management Analyst
MEETING DATE: May 6, 2025
SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement with B & A for Grant Consulting Services

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an Agreement with Blais & Associates (B&A) for grant services for an amount not to exceed $50,000.

BACKGROUND
The City of Lomita is a densely populated 1.97 square mile urban community serving nearly 20,000 residents. Located at the base of the Palos Verdes Peninsula in the Los Angeles Basin, the City provides a number of services to its residents, including Public Works, drinking water treatment and distribution, Parks and Recreation, and Planning.

This broad level of municipal services is coupled with special and Capital Improvement projects, all carried out by a small workforce of employees and contractors, with a limited General Fund of about $16 Million. As the City continues to provide expansive municipal services and projects with limited resources, the need for alternative funding sources such as grants is crucial.

DISCUSSION
The City is currently working on a number of underfunded special projects. Grant funding is essential to ensure these projects are completed. Below are the projects that require grant research, grant consultations and possible grant development and submittals:
1) Lomita Sports Complex: The Defense Fuel Support Point San Pedro facility, a U.S. Navy owned property, is located within the City of Lomita. President Joe Biden signed the National Defense Authorization Act late December 2024, to begin the transfer the federal land to the City of Lomita. The Congressional Bill

CITY OF LOMITA

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 7g
Tuesday, May 06, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *80
2 aims to keep the facility primarily for recreational use, as determined by the City.

The City is planning to renovate the complex to allow use for youth and adult recreation and sports programming. Many improvements are needed on site to bring it up to code and safe public use. This project includes reconstruction and renovation of existing structures and infrastructure, including grading, surveying, sewer, water, parking, electrical, lighting, ADA access, fencing, security, bleachers, landscaping, curbs, scoreboards, restrooms, drinking fountains, and a snack bar.
2) Port of LA Waterfront Red Trolly Car (Red Car): The City was offered to receive the Red Car Trolley replica from the Port of LA. While this is a great opportunity, enormous costs, and various improvements are associated with the project. The City is considering building an atrium/glass building with HVAC to house the trolley. This project includes constructing a new structure, relocating existing rails, landscape grading, ongoing maintenance, and possible transportation/set-up costs. The goal is to create a new home for the trolley where residents and visitors can enjoy the beauty of the Red Car Trolley, receive an education on it, and preserve it.
3) Teuchert Park: The City’s newest park, Louis and William J. Teuchert Park was dedicated on April 25, 2017. Teuchert Park was a former residential home transformed into a park location for residents and visitors to enjoy. The residential home is dilapidated, and its layout needs improvement to make it a more traditional park space for residents and visitors to enjoy. The City is looking at either reconstructing/renovating the house to transform it into a potential museum or removing the house to make more space and further expand the landscape.

This project includes reconstruction and renovation of existing structures and infrastructure or possible removal, and landscape grading. 4) Civic Center Improvement Project (Circle of Honor): The City currently has a Circle of Honor garden outside of City Hall dedicated to prominent community figures who have displayed significant local civic achievement, historical importance, and/or outstanding City service to the City of Lomita. The City would like to expand on the idea of a garden and transform it into a monument. The monument would be incorporated into stage with lightning where City events can be hosted for residents and visitors. This project requires renovation of the existing public space, design of a new location, monument signs installations, stage enlargement and lightning equipment to be installed. 5) Sewer Replacement: The City seeks funding for the Wastewater System Improvement Project. The City’s Sewer System Master Plan hydraulic modeling identified a 1930s sewer line that is nearing capacity and will become deficient as more housing is built. The system runs beneath private properties and needs to be rerouted to the public right-of-way. Rerouting to the public right-of-way will allow crews to quickly address any sewer overflows which will benefit public health and safety.

B&A provides key grants services such as grant research, grant monitoring, grant consultations, grant proposals development and submittals.

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed agreement is for an amount not to exceed $50,000, however the actual expended annual amount depends on whether the City utilizes B&A for grant development and submittal for complex grants for any of the projects. If no grants are applied for, the final cost is a fixed fee of $20,880.

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

Page 4 of 11 ends

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 CONSULTANT'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 CONSULTANT’S legal counsel unacceptable, then CONSULTANT shall reimburse CITY its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation.

B. The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be maintained by CONSULTANT as required by Section 18, 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 CONSULTANT pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions concerning indemnification.

14. ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement is for CONSULTANT’s professional services.

CONSULTANT’s attempts to assign the benefits or burdens of this Agreement without CITY’s written approval are prohibited and will be null and void.

CONSULTANT 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 CONSULTANT as to the details of doing the work or to exercise a measure of control over the work means that CONSULTANT will follow the direction of the CITY as to end results of the work only.

16. AUDIT OF RECORDS.

A. CONSULTANT agrees that CITY, or designee, has the right to review, obtain, and copy all records pertaining to the performance of this Agreement.

Tuesday, May 06, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *86

18. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.

A. CONSULTANT, at CONSULTANT’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. CONSULTANT shall require all subconsultants 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 CONSULTANT for CITY.

Page 6 of 11 ends

subconsultants. 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,” CONSULTANT will continue to renew the insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated.

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. CONSULTANT agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss against CONSULTANT arising out of the work performed under this agreement.

CITY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not Tuesday, May 06, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *88

Page 7 of 11 ends

the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve CITY.

E. CONSULTANT shall provide certificates of insurance with original endorsements to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein.

19. USE OF OTHER CONSULTANTS. CONSULTANT must obtain CITY’s prior written approval to use any CONSULTANTs while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such approval must include approval of the proposed CONSULTANT and the terms of compensation.

20. FINAL PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE CONSTITUTES RELEASE. The acceptance by the CONSULTANT 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 CONSULTANT for anything done, furnished or relating to the CONSULTANT’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 CONSULTANT, its employees, sub-CONSULTANTs Tuesday, May 06, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *89

Page 8 of 11 ends

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 CONSULTANT, its employees, sub-CONSULTANTs and agents.

21. CORRECTIONS. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, the CONSULTANT shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during CITY’S review of CONSULTANT’S report or plans. Should the CONSULTANT 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 CONSULTANT. 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 CONSULTANT under this Agreement up to the amount of the cost of correction.

22. NON-APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. Payments to be made to CONSULTANT 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 CONSULTANT’S services beyond the current fiscal year, the Agreement shall cover payment for CONSULTANT’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.

RECENT GRANT AWARDS
Our track record of winning more than 60 percent of client grant applications submitted in any given year proves our uniqueness within the field of professional grant writing over the long term, particularly when most grant programs only fund anywhere from 5 to 20 percent of applications received. Our knowledge and experience with grant programs, daily research activities, and assistance with the “go” or “no-go” decision-making process ensures that we are knowledgeable of the programs and projects that granting agencies seek to fund. Our services are designed to ensure the client maintains situational awareness of potential grants that support their specific needs, pursue all appropriate grant funding, and ensure proper grant reporting and close-out administration for awarded grants.

In the past five years, B&A developed over 830 grants for our California clients, winning over $641 million in grant funding. $52 million of these requests were for Congressionally directed spending and California legislature set asides.

Recently, B&A won 11 of 16 Caltrans Highway Safety Improvement Program grant applications submitted on behalf of our clients, worth over $4.2 million in funding. This equates to a 69 percent win rate.

C. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
B&A employs a tried-and-true methodology that has proven successful for our clients over the past two decades.

GRANT RESEARCH – GRANT MONITORING/INTELLIGENCE
Actively Identify Grant Resources. B&A researches, tracks, and identifies grant opportunities utilizing a systematic, daily process to find grant solicitations at the federal, state, regional, and local level. The research team in turn develops a Fact Sheet and attends workshops or webinars. The Fact Sheet routinely provides the name of the funding agency, level of funding available, historic average awards for the program, due dates, eligible and ineligible projects or activities, program summary, and other critical details. In addition, our membership to the League of Cities provides us with up-to-date knowledge regarding issues facing local and regional government agencies. B&A also monitors propositions and legislative activities to understand the potential impact on our clients and grant programs.

GRANT RESEARCH – MONTHLY GRANT ACTIVITY REPORT
B&A recommends a monthly Grant Activity Report (GAR) conference call with key City staff. This standing conference call allows discussion of open and active grant opportunities and potential projects. The GAR will identify all grants in the development process, those that have been submitted, grant awards, denied grants, and any special services provided.

Annual Roll-up Report with Return on Investment: B&A provides an executive level annual Grant Roll-up Report designed to give City staff updates about the grant program accomplishments and ROI, as applicable.

GRANT RESEARCH – GRANT RESEARCH CONSULTATION
At any time during our contract, the City can request the Grant Research team to perform grant research consultation to investigate a specific grant program. Internally, B&A coordinates to ensure that the research is conducted in a responsive, thorough, and timely fashion. This research may include contact with the funding agency to develop intelligence on the goals and objectives of the program or measure the agency’s interest in funding the project as contemplated or proposed by the client. This is particularly valuable to the City when evaluating a proposed project that may not initially appear to be eligible or competitive for the program. Our extensive list of contacts within grant funding agencies enables the B&A research team to gather useful information and actionable guidance for the team.

Our B&A Research
Department develops and
issues over 450 targeted
grant Fact Sheets and
summaries every year.

GRANT APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT
Our services are designed to ensure the client maintains situational awareness of potential grants that support their specific needs, pursue all appropriate grant funding, and ensure proper grant reporting and close-out administration for awarded grants. All B&A-written applications are custom developed, with detailed and tailored narrative sections, graphics, photos, and artwork. Unlike competitors’ processes, we do not employ cut-and-paste procedures, look-alike templates, or factory-style application approaches.

The following summarizes B&A’s systematic grant writing process:
• Once the client decides to pursue a grant, B&A carefully reviews the guidelines and develops a fixed fee notto-exceed quote proposal outlining the estimated costs for B&A to assist the client. This activity typically takes between one and three days to provide the client with a detailed quote. Upon client approval, B&A schedules all meetings, assembles stakeholders, and obtains relevant information from multiple stakeholders (via emails, phone calls, or virtual meetings) to develop targeted, effective grant proposal submissions. Throughout the grant proposal development process, B&A ensures that all required components of a proposal are included in the application for submission, ensuring adherence to grant evaluation criteria. • Based on the due date and proposal requirements, B&A develops an overall grant outline, called a Timeline and Checklist, which identifies a list of tasks to be accomplished, milestone dates to be met, and who will be responsible. B&A works with City staff and team to determine writing assignments, including an estimate of how much City staff time will be needed at the beginning of each project. This includes identifying who is responsible for completing the tasks and the dates tasks are to be completed. B&A strives to complete as much of the application independently as possible. B&A provides the leadership for the coordination of any necessary meetings, conference calls, or discussions.
• B&A develops an application outline that includes the narrative questions from the grant that need answering.

B&A’s associates are skilled in developing narrative with compelling arguments, in active voice, and within any character limitations. Using this outline, B&A conducts a kick-off conference call discussing the grant program, the Timeline and Checklist, and application.
• Beginning with long-lead tasks, the B&A team researches necessary information, meets with appropriate staff, stakeholders, and consultants, and develops proposal language, including the scope of work, budget, timeline, justification, cost-benefit analysis, transmittal cover letter, and completes all necessary federal, state, and local forms, certifications, and assurances.

Board or Council authorization regarding the submission of the grant proposal and/or local match funding commitment, etc.
• B&A provides budget guidance and justifications in alignment with City policies and personnel guidelines and in conformance with grant solicitation requirements.
• Concurrently, B&A determines the role of any stakeholders and identifies those stakeholders in coordination with staff and consultants.

B&A will work with staff to identify stakeholders for letters of support and will develop the letters of support for distribution. B&A will assist in distribution of the letters of support for signature. • B&A attends any pre-proposal conferences, etc. hosted by the grantmaking agency. B&A collects data and photographs as independently as possible from existing resources such as General Plans, California Communities Environmental Health Screening Tool (CalEnviroScreen), and Google Earth, to name a few. All B&A team members are trained in the use of these tools; no outside consultants are required.
• B&A determines if any special graphics, artwork, maps, etc. are needed and incorporates those exhibits into the proposal as soon as possible. B&A generally develops graphics, maps, and artwork in-house. If specialized Geographic Information System (GIS) maps are required, B&A can subcontract with GIS specialists or work with the client’s internal GIS team to perform these tasks. However, most grant applications do not require highly detailed graphics, and we have been very successful with our internal map development. • B&A conducts any greenhouse gas reduction, water savings, energy savings and other calculations, as necessary. B&A staff are trained in the calculation tools accepted by most grant funding agencies including the California Air Resources Board emission reduction and greenhouse gas reduction tools. B&A maintains relationships with specific technical or engineering firms that can provide access to other modeling tools, including Benefit Cost Analyses.
• B&A manages and incorporates all edits to grant proposals to ensure consistency of messaging, integration of grant requirements and succinctness prior to final client review and submittal to the funding authority. B&A will provide draft copies of grant proposals (80 percent and 100 percent) to the City with an adequate amount of time to allow for feedback and final editing. B&A’s policy is to provide at least 48 hours for review time (longer if possible). B&A then reviews and incorporates the edits or discusses any edits that might impact the scoring of the project or exceed proposal limitations. The 80 percent draft is intended to ensure the technical aspects of the proposal are accurate and consistent with the goals of the client, including the budget. The final 100 percent draft ensures the City and B&A are comfortable with the final application and there is an opportunity to interject any of the City’s final adjustments, signatures, and approval to submit.

all custom developed with
unique support letters and

• If hard copy applications are required for submission, B&A makes all required copies and ensures proper delivery by the due date. If submitting electronic applications via the internet, B&A coordinates any password or authorization requirements as early as necessary to ensure the timely submission of e-grants. B&A has never missed a grant deadline.
• B&A maintains a comprehensive project file – containing all facts, data, statistics, and narrative collected and written as part of the assigned projects – throughout the development process, which is provided to City staff for future use once the grant application is submitted and/or approved. Final documents are provided to the client. All original work products are provided to the client via a link to our B&A system. All electronic files are in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or other appropriate software. • In the case that a grant proposal is denied, B&A will coordinate with staff and the granting agency to request a debriefing. Debriefings are extremely valuable because the team can receive recommendations to strengthen the proposal for the next grant cycle.

While the application is undergoing development, B&A will continually assess and score the project and application against the program requirements to ensure that it remains highly competitive. As a project, grant writing is unique because there is a hard deadline that must be met. B&A controls the schedule because it is crucial that the application be submitted on time. Our staff is cognizant of the need to deliver the 80 and 100 percent complete drafts on schedule and are given full latitude to ensure delivery of the application. We have had occasions where extreme measures were taken due to failures with FedEx – and the application was still delivered on time.

QUALITY CONTROL
B&A exercises the highest level of professional care and accuracy when developing grant deliverables for clients. B&A utilizes a tiered review process involving our most senior grant professionals to ensure that every piece of a grant application is reviewed prior to delivery. Once a grant application is approximately 80 percent complete, B&A’s team will deliver the application to City staff to allow the City an opportunity to provide input and comments. After revisions are made at the 80 percent mark, B&A will finalize the application and deliver a 100 percent complete application to the City as a final opportunity for review and provision of any additional input. Once B&A receives approval from the City, B&A will submit the application on the City’s behalf or will provide detailed submission guidance and support to the designated staff member, depending on the funding agency’s policy.

B&A has never missed a
grant deadline.

LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY
Since March 2021, when earmarks were brought back into the legislative process, B&A has assisted our clients with dozens of successful earmark applications in the amount of $125.2 million. B&A also has extensive experience working with legislative staff to ensure that local, regional, state, and federal delegations are briefed on overall grant initiatives or special initiatives. This includes leading and informing annual legislative agendas and preparing agendas and support materials for Washington, DC trips, developing support letters, guiding site visits, and developing overall strategic plans for unique or large-scale initiatives that will require multiple funding sources, including grants. 0%Development of initial draft

1 TO: City Council
FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Emma Kelley, Parks and Recreation Director MEETING DATE: May 6, 2025
SUBJECT: Update on National Night Out 2025 and Hoedown Event

RECOMMENDATION
Discuss and consider the Parks and Recreation Commission recommendations regarding National Night Out 2025 and a Hoedown special event.

BACKGROUND
At its meeting on February 18, 2025, the City Council approved its lineup of FY 2025-26 Special Events, which included 15 events over 12 months. As part of the motion to approve, the City Council directed staff to obtain feedback from the Parks and Recreation Commission regarding the date and time of the National Night Out event, as well as bringing back a Hoedown Event at the Lomita Railroad Museum.

On March 25, staff presented the Parks and Recreation Commission with information on National Night Out and the possibility of a Hoedown event.

DISCUSSION
National Night Out
National Night Out (NNO) is an annual campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. Nationwide, the event is held on the first Tuesday in August, with this year’s national campaign set for August 5.

In previous years, National Night Out has been held on the Lomita City Hall front lawn,

CITY OF LOMITA

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 8a
Tuesday, May 06, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *109
2 with informational vendors, live music, food options, a public work mower, boom truck, and a face and balloon twister. In 2024, National Night Out was held in the Lomita City Hall parking lot with a classic car show, informational vendors, live music, food options, and two balloon twisters.

Over the last few years, staff has noticed a decline in community participation and reduced availability of law enforcement due to multiple cities in the region hosting events on the same night, which lessens the impact and appeal of this event.

Moreover, staff was recently informed by Los Angeles County of their intention to begin construction of solar parking bays in the Summer of 2025 and lasting approximately five months. This construction will impact the 2025 special events that take place on the Lomita City Hall parking lot and Lomita City Hall front lawn.

Hosting National Night Out on Thursday, August 7 could improve availability of Sheriff’s Department personnel and the request of popular sheriff's equipment like SWAT vehicles, and mounted units. Relocating National Night Out, to the Lomita Park, Belba field will provide a larger event space with ampule parking and visibility to the community.

The Parks and Recreation Commission voted in favor of holding National Night Out on Thursday, August 7 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Lomita Park with live music and a car show to be held on the Belba Field.

Hoedown
In 2007, the Lomita Railroad Foundation and City of Lomita held a double celebration for residents on October 21. The Railroad Museum celebrated its 40th Birthday from 1 to 5 p.m., followed by the City of Lomita celebrating its Centennial with a Hoedown at the Railroad Museum from 5 to 9 p.m. A portion of 250th street was closed for this event, and a stage was set up on 250th street with live music and dancing done in the museum parking lot.

Staff explored the feasibility of reviving this community event previously known as the Hoedown. The event could again be held at the Lomita Railroad Museum utilizing both the parking lot and Irene Lewis Field. The gathering will feature food vendors, retail vendors, 3 hours of live music, and line dancing. The estimated cost would be $10,625, not including staff time.

The Commission also voted in support of holding a Hoedown event at the Lomita Railroad Museum. If possible, the Commission preferred to hold a Hoedown in conjunction with the unveiling of the Waterfront Red Car Trolley, pending City Council approval of the project. However, if the trolley project did not proceed at this time, the Hoedown should still be offered as a stand-alone event.

To better reflect the theme and potentially rebrand the event for increased appeal, the following names are under consideration:

Tuesday, May 06, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *110
3  Lomita Country Harvest Festival
 Western Night in Lomita
 Silverado Day/Night

FISCAL IMPACT
A Hoedown Event is not included in the existing budget. Approval of a 2025 Hoedown event will require a budget amendment transferring $10,625 from General Fund reserves.

Alternatively, staff recommends either waiting until 2026 to plan a Hoedown event to allow for financial planning, or replacing an existing major special event similar in size and scope in the current calendar to offset the costs and allocation of resources required. This approach would help minimize budget impact while still offering a valuable community experience.

OPTIONS

1. Provide staff with a preferred date and time for National Night Out 2025 and plan a Hoedown Event in 2026.

2. Provide staff with preferred date and time for the National Night Out 2025, and replace one approved major special event similar in scope with a 2025 Hoedown event.

3. Provide staff with alternative direction.

FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Andres Gonzalez, Public Works Director
MEETING DATE: May 6, 2025
SUBJECT: Discussion and Consideration of a Resolution of Intent to Levy Annual Assessments for Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2025-2026

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt resolution and set the public hearing date for June 3, 2025.

BACKGROUND
At its meeting on April 1, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-07 directing the Public Works Director to prepare and file the engineer’s report for Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 (LMD No. 1). The report has been prepared and is attached.

LMD No. 1 was first formed in 1979 as the result of a “grassroots” effort from a group of homeowners in the Rolling Ranchos Tract (Tract 25201 as recorded with the County of Los Angeles) wanting a well-maintained scenic entrance to their development.

LMD No. 1 was established to defray the maintenance and operating costs of maintaining landscaping improvements within the District and was to be financed by the adjacent Rolling Ranchos Tract. The construction of the bike path on Palos Verdes Drive North was financed by a state grant in conjunction with the City of Rolling Hills Estates. The rest of the landscaping and irrigation system was constructed by force account utilizing city and California Conservation personnel.

Boundaries of LMD No. 1 remain unchanged and include all of the residential area known as the Rolling Ranchos Tract, all within the City of Lomita as well as the landscaping area between the northerly curb along Palos Verdes Drive North and the southerly property line of the Rolling Ranchos Tract. The median on Palos Verdes Drive North is not a part of LMD No. 1.

CITY OF LOMITA

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 8b
Tuesday, May 06, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *113
2 DISCUSSION
Pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2, Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (commencing with Section 22500), the City Council must pass a Resolution of Intent and schedule a public hearing date if it desires to levy and collect annual assessments to pay for the ongoing maintenance and servicing of the existing landscape improvements, trails (pathways) and appurtenant improvements and facilities within LMD No. 1.

Based on the premise that all properties within the Rolling Ranchos Tract would benefit equally from District improvements, it was determined at the time of forming the District that all properties be assessed equally. The total estimated cost of maintaining LMD No. 1 for fiscal year 2025-26, including maintenance, water, electricity, irrigation maintenance, tree trimming, and miscellaneous clean up and repair is $30,220.13. The current assessment on the 211 properties is $55.63 per parcel, for a total of $11,737.93, leaving a $18,482.20 shortfall proposed to be funded by the City’s general fund. As intended, LMD No. 1 defrays the cost of maintaining this public space.

Tonight’s resolution will set the hearing date and approve the engineer’s report recommending an assessment of $55.63 per parcel within LMD No. 1 for fiscal year 2025-

26. The assessment will be included in the property tax bill prepared by the County of Los Angeles.

In order to assess the District for the coming year, the attached resolution must be passed.

FISCAL IMPACT
The funds collected within the District will be utilized to maintain the areas incorporated within the District for Fiscal Year 2025-26. The general fund will subsidize the projected shortfall through the contribution of staff time.

1. Approve staff’s recommendation

Engineer’s Report
Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
Fiscal Year 2025/2026
Proposed Assessment
Introduction
The purpose of this Engineer's Report (hereinafter referred to as the "Report) is to set forth the engineering analysis and findings for the annual levy of assessments for the City of Lomita Landscape Maintenance District No.: 1 (hereinafter referred to as the "District"), for Fiscal Year 2025/2026, pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, being Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code, commencing with Section 22500 (hereafter referred to as the "1972 Act"), and in compliance with the provisions of the California State Constitution Article XIIID (hereafter referred to as the "California Constitution").

This Report has been prepared pursuant to the order of the City Council of the City of Lomita (hereinafter referred to as the "City") for the annual levy of assessments for the District in accordance with Chapter 3, Section 22622 of the 1972 Act. The District was originally formed in 1979 and the City has annually levied assessments on properties within the District for the purpose of funding the annual maintenance, operation and servicing of the parkway landscaping and trail along the north side of Palos Verdes Drive North, that was installed in connection with and immediately adjacent to the residential development identified as Tract 25201 (Rolling Ranchos) which comprises all properties within the District.

As a result, this Report addresses the proposed assessment for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 based on an estimate of the current annual cost for the City to provide such improvements for the benefit of properties within the District. These annual costs and the resulting proposed assessment rate described herein, includes the estimated expenditures, revenues and fund balances that the City has estimated as necessary to properly maintain and service the improvements associated with the District.

The City Council may approve this Report as submitted or amended; and confirm and order the levy and collection of assessments so approved. In such case, the assessments for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 as approved or amended by the City Council shall be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller for inclusion on the property tax roll for each affected parcel.

For the purposes of this Report, the word "parcel" refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor Parcel Number by the Los Angeles County Assessor's Office. The Los Angeles County Auditor/Controller uses Assessor Parcel Numbers and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties assessed for special benefit assessments on the tax roll.

This report consists of five (5) parts:

Description of the Improvements
Generally, the District was established to ensure the ongoing maintenance, operation, servicing of the landscape improvements, trails (pathways), appurtenant improvements, and facilities within the public right-of-way on the north side of Palos Verdes Drive North. The construction and installation of the path within this right-of-way was financed by a state grant in conjunction with the City of Rolling Hills Estates and the landscaping and irrigation system was constructed by force account utilizing City and California Conservation Corps personnel. Originally, the annual assessments for properties within the District were established to fully fund the annual maintenance and servicing of these improvements, but over time the annual assessment revenues no longer support the full maintenance of these improvements and over time, it has been necessary for the City to utilize increasingly more General Fund revenues to support the cost of these improvements.

The maintenance and servicing of the improvements generally includes, but is not limited to all materials, equipment, utilities, labor and incidental expenses required for the annual operation and maintenance of such improvements, as well as the Tuesday, May 06, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *124

Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
Fiscal Year 2025/2026
Proposed Assessment
performance of periodic repairs and replacement as needed to provide for the proper operation and functioning of the sidewalk and pathway as well as the growth, health, and appearance of landscaping and trees. The improvements for the District include, but are not limited to:
• Approximately 48,000 square feet of irrigated landscaping and trees on the north side of Palos Verdes Drive North adjacent to the southern boundary of Tract 25201 (A distance of approximately 1,600 Linear Feet); and, • Approximately 20,640 square feet of trails and sidewalks on the north side of Palos Verdes Drive North adjacent to the southern boundary of Tract 25201; and, • Approximately 1,200 square feet of walkway between Palos Verdes Drive North and Via Vera.

Maintenance of the landscape improvements generally includes the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of the improvements including but not limited to: cultivation, irrigation, trimming and fertilizing of the plant material; treating for disease or injury; weed and vector control; normal repair and servicing of the irrigation system; removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste; and removal or covering of graffiti on related hardscape surfaces; as well as the performance of periodic repairs and rehabilitation activities (available funding permitting) that are associated with those improvements.

Documentation and maps of the location and extent of the improvements to be maintained by the District are on file at the City of Lomita Public Works Department.

Excluded Improvements
The improvements for the District, exclude the median islands on Palos Verdes Drive North that are also adjacent to Tract 25201 (Rolling Ranchos). The cost of maintaining these median islands were budgeted and paid for by the City as a general benefit and no portion of the cost to maintain these improvements shall be assessed as special benefit to the parcels within the District. Improvements located on private property including any landscaping or fences are the responsibility of those individual property owners and are not maintained by this District.

Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
Fiscal Year 2025/2026
Proposed Assessment
Part II – Method of Apportionment
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for providing certain public improvements, which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of public lights, landscaping, and appurtenant facilities. The 1972 Act further requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements."
The method of apportionment described in this Report for allocation of special benefit assessments utilizes commonly accepted engineering practices and have been established pursuant to the 1972 Act and the provisions of the California Constitution.

The formula used for calculating assessments in this District reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and services provided, to fairly apportion the costs based on benefit to each parcel.

Benefit Analysis
Each of the proposed improvements, the associated costs, and assessments have been reviewed, identified, and allocated based on special benefit pursuant to the provisions of the 1972 Act and the California Constitution. The improvements to be provided by the District and for which properties will be assessed have been identified as local improvements specifically associated with the properties within Tract 25201. As such, the ongoing operation, servicing, and maintenance of these improvements directly affect those properties. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that the annual costs of ensuring the maintenance and operation of the improvements are considered a distinct and special benefit to the residential properties within this development and District.

The method of apportionment (also referred to as the "method of assessment") previously established for this District and summarized herein is based on the premise that each assessed parcel within the District receives special benefits from the improvements, and the desirability and marketability of those properties is enhanced by well-maintained landscaping in close proximity to the properties. As defined by Article XIIID, Section 4 of the California Constitution:
"Special benefit means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the District or to the public at large." The special benefits associated with such landscape improvements may include:
• Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements. • Improved aesthetic appeal of properties providing a positive representation of the Tuesday, May 06, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *126

area.
• Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from adequate green space and landscaping.
• Environmental enhancement through improved erosion resistance, dust, and debris control.
• Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the District resulting from well-maintained improvements associated with the properties. • Reduced criminal activity and property-related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the District through well-maintained surroundings and amenities including abatement of graffiti.
• Enhanced environmental quality of the parcels by moderating temperatures, providing oxygenation and attenuating noise.

The preceding special benefits contribute to the overall aesthetic value and desirability of each of the assessed parcels and thereby provide a special enhancement to those properties. Furthermore, it has been determined that the lack of funding to property service and maintain such improvements would likely have a direct negative impact on those properties.

General Benefit
In reviewing the improvements and the proximity of those improvements to properties within the District as well as adjacent properties outside of the boundaries of the District, and the reasons for installing and constructing such improvements; it is apparent that the need to maintain these particular improvements are exclusively a local issue and are directly associated with only the parcels within Tract 25201 (Rolling Ranchos), and the condition of these improvements and the level of service provided will directly affect only those properties.

Although the improvements are within public areas or easements and include amenities that may be available or visible to the public at large, these improvements are not necessarily required nor desired by any properties or developments outside the development. As such, it has been determined that these improvements provide no measurable benefit (special or general) to properties outside the District or to the public at large but are clearly a distinct and special benefit to only properties within the District.

Assessment Methodology
Upon review of the improvements, it has been determined that each of the residential parcels within the District will receive substantially similar and proportional special benefits from the improvements to be provided. As such, the most appropriate apportionment of maintenance costs and special benefit is an equal per parcel distribution. This method of apportionment is used to proportionately allocate the net annual cost of the improvements (special benefit) to each parcel. The total amount to be levied in the District is shared and assessed equally to each benefiting parcel.

Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
Fiscal Year 2025/2026
Proposed Assessment
The following formula is used to arrive at the levy amount for each parcel within the District.

The preceding benefit formula appropriately reflects the composition of the parcels within the District and the improvements and services to be provided and fairly apportion the costs based on the special benefits to each assessable parcel. Dedicated public easements or rights-of-ways that are part of the District improvements; or utility rights-of-way, common areas, sliver parcels and bifurcated lots or any other property that cannot be developed; receive no special benefit from District improvements and are not assessed.

Part III – Proposed Budget
The following budget outlines the City's estimate of anticipated expenditures, revenues and fund balances to provide annual maintenance and operation of the District improvements within the revenues available from the assessments and the City’s planned contribution of funds to the District. The maximum assessment rate established for the District is based on the budget information presented herein and shall be used to calculate each parcel's proportional assessment obligation in accordance with the method of apportionment outlined in this Report for Fiscal Year 2025/2026.

The most recent lien on the 211 residences is $55.63 per parcel, for a total of $11,737.93. This total consists of utilities, landscape maintenance services, irrigation maintenance, administration, and assessor's fees. An estimated $18,482.20 contribution from the City is required to maintain assessments at the current levy of $55.63. The Engineer's report indicates an assessment of $55.63 per parcel for 2025/2026, as determined from the following information:

Contract costs and City services for landscape maintenance services ($20,759.80); utility costs for water and electricity ($8,562.33); administration costs ($898.00) for the 2025/2026 fiscal year. The total service cost is $30,220.13.

The City subsidy to the District for 2025/2026 will be $18,482.20.
