BACKGROUND
Information Technology
Numa Networks is currently on-site one day per week to provide as-needed IT support.
During the month of April, Numa Networks assisted with a total of 117 trouble tickets. The City posted a Request for Proposals for IT Services and the deadline for responses was on May 15, 2025. Staff will review the proposals, and a new agreement will be brought for City Council approval at a later date.
Legislative Advocacy
A letter was submitted on behalf of the City Council to Supervisor Janice Hahn expressing concerns regarding staffing levels at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) Lomita Station. In addition, the City issued five legislative letters this reporting period. These included opposition to SB 79, which would override state-certified housing elements and grant land use authority to transit agencies without requiring the development of any housing, including affordable units; SB 220, which proposes future legislation to restructure the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority board; AB 647, which would mandate cities to allow up to eight housing units on singlefamily or similarly zoned lots with minimal affordability requirements and no environmental

2 review or public input; and SB 634, which would prohibit local jurisdictions from adopting or enforcing ordinances to address homelessness. The City also submitted a letter in support of SB 650, which would allow jurisdictions to begin housing element updates six months earlier, helping to provide clarity and streamline the review process.
Communications
The Bi-Annual Communications Meeting facilitated by our communications consultant Tripepi Smith took place on April 16 with all Department Directors to reflect on recent communication efforts and plan for the next for the next six months. As part of the City’s renewed commitment to be proactive about external communications, we are shifting to a quarterly strategic communications planning cycle to ensure consistent, coordinated outreach across all departments.
Staff has also been meeting with Tripepi Smith bi-weekly to coordinate social media posts. For the month of May alone, there will be 27 posts which is double the amount compared to past quarters. Efforts towards finalizing the Lomita branding guide, social media policies, and communications platform review, as well as strategizing for the Lomita (Navy) Fields, GAC update, Narbonne South construction and parking concerns, and other communication efforts have also been ongoing.
The Summer Newsletter was delivered to all Lomita addresses last week and staff is currently gathering information for the Fall Newsletter scheduled to be released in mid to late July.
Public Safety
Meeting with Rancho Palos Verdes Public Safety Representatives As the City initiates its own Public Safety Division to support and strengthen efforts and programs to aid law enforcement, crime prevention, and community safety, a meeting was held on May 5 with Rancho Palos Verdes’ Deputy City Manager and Public Safety Manager.

3 Sidewalk Vending Oversight and Unhoused Services Coordination The City’s sidewalk vending permit program is undergoing refinement and strengthening in response to recent changes in state law and evolving local conditions. To ensure a comprehensive approach, the City is working in coordination with LA County Public Health, the City Attorney, the Lomita Sheriff’s Station, and Code Enforcement.

In April, the first load of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) was delivered to the vessels, and initial flushing is still ongoing to ensure proper operation. Mechanical issues and computer operating systems continue to be addressed while staff waits for state approval of the well operating permit and the arrival of the new well pump.

*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.

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 attorney’s 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.

16. AUDIT OF RECORDS.
A. CONTRACTOR agrees that CITY, or designee, has the right to review, obtain, and copy all records pertaining to the performance of this Agreement.

2. General Liability Coverage. CONTRACTOR shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than three million dollars ($3,000,000) 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 Tuesday, May 20, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *63
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 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.
Tuesday, May 20, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *64
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.
F. Failure on the part of CONTRACTOR to procure or maintain required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which CITY may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12 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 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 Contractor for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by CITY due to the breach.
19. USE OF OTHER CONTRACTORS. 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.
20. 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 Tuesday, May 20, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *65
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.
21. 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 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.
22. 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.

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.

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.
F. Failure on the part of CONTRACTOR to procure or maintain required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which CITY may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12 above.

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 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 Contractor for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by CITY due to the breach.
19. USE OF OTHER CONTRACTORS. 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.
20. 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 Tuesday, May 20, 2025 Reg CC MTG, Page *79
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.
21. 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 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.
22. 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.

PREPARED BY: Susan Kamada, Administrative Services Director MEETING DATE: May 20, 2025
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2025-14 Amending Administrative Policy on Travel and Reimbursements to Establish Guidelines for Airfare and Councilmember Travel
RECOMMENDATION
Approve Resolution No. 2025-14 amending the City’s administrative policy related to travel and reimbursements.
BACKGROUND
The City of Lomita is committed to the highest level of financial integrity. The City’s public officials and employees are accountable to our citizens for the use of public dollars, and resources should be used wisely to ensure adequate funding for the services, public facilities, and infrastructure necessary to meet the community’s present and future needs and to maintain the trust and engagement of the public.
Written, adopted financial management policies have many benefits such as assisting the Council and City Manager in the financial management of the City, saving time and energy when discussing financial matters, fostering public confidence, and providing continuity over time as Council and staff members change. The purpose of the financial policies is to enable the City to achieve and maintain a long-term stable and positive financial condition. Policies are adopted by the City Council and establish the framework for Lomita’s overall financial planning and management to guide day-to-day and long-range fiscal planning and decision making, and to achieve the following general financial goals:
1. Ensure the financial integrity of the City.
2. Provide an adequate financial base to sustain a sufficient level of municipal services to maintain the social well-being and physical condition of the City.
3. Provide and maintain essential public facilities, utilities, and capital equipment.

2 4. Enhance policy setting for and sound management of City government by providing accurate and timely information on current and anticipated financial conditions.
5. Protect and enhance the City’s credit ratings.
6. Provide the financial stability needed to navigate through economic downturns, adjust to changes in the service requirements of the community and respond to other changes as they affect the City’s residents.
Although the City Manager may adopt administrative policies as the City’s Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the City’s Municipal Code, City policies that have a budget impact or extend to its elected officials may require approval by the City Council.
The City updated its Travel Policy for City Officials in January 2025. Additional revisions are needed to remain current with prudent industry best practices.
DISCUSSION:
Policies for reimbursement of travel related expenses vary from city to city. State law does prescribe some threshold standards, especially as it relates to reimbursement of city councilmember travel. State law also contains safeguards to ensure that public funds are used efficiently. This new policy aligns with industry best practices by GFOA, GASB, and the IRS.
The recommended revisions to the Travel Policy include several important updates. Key updates include adding reimbursement limits to airfare costs up to the Economy Rate, and implementing procedures for approved City Council travel destinations each year.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve Resolution No. 2025-14 amending the City’s Administrative Policy related to Travel and Reimbursements to Establish Guidelines for Airfare and Councilmember Travel.
2. Give staff alternative direction.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

Parking enforcement and park patrol will also be under the purview of the Community Safety division. Under this new division, the City Manager is requesting a new full-time Community Safety Manager to oversee the new division and amending the part-time Parking Enforcement Officer position classification to Community Safety Officer.
