PREPARED BY: Susan Kamada, Deputy City Manager/Administrative Services Director
MEETING DATE: April 21, 2026
SUBJECT: March 2026 Treasury and Investment Report
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and file the Treasury and Investment Report.
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Section 41004 of the Government Code of the State of California, the City Treasurer is required to submit a monthly report of all receipts, disbursements and fund balances. The first page of the report summarizes the investment activity for the month and distribution by type of investment, held by the City. The second and third page lists all investments with original maturities exceeding one year as of the month ended March 31, 2026. The fourth page of the report provides a summary of the beginning balance, total receipts, total disbursements, the ending balance for all funds, and a listing, by fund, of all month end fund balances.
In summary, all investments of the City of Lomita are in compliance with both the Government Code and our Investment Policy. In addition, the City has sufficient liquidity to meet its expenditure requirements for the ensuing six months.
9.24% of the City’s funds are with the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). The remaining funds of the City of Lomita are in active checking accounts, money market funds, U.S. Treasuries, Federal Agency Securities, Corporate Bonds, and FDICinsured Negotiable Certificates of Deposit that are in compliance with the California Government Code and the City’s Investment Policy. The current value of each account is obtained from actual monthly statements for the period ending March 31, 2026.

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

1 TO: City Council
FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Juan Ibarra, Senior Management Analyst
MEETING DATE: April 21, 2026
SUBJECT: First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Blais & Associates (B&A) for Grant Consulting Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Blias & Associates (B&A) for grant consulting services to extend the term for one year for $50,000.
BACKGROUND
At its meeting on May 6, 2025, the City Council approved an agreement with B&A for grant consulting services. Founded in 2000, B&A has over 20 years of experience providing strategic grant research, grant writing, and grant management services to municipal governments, Council of Governments and regional public agencies.
The City of Lomita provides a wide range of municipal services to its residents, including Public Works, drinking water treatment and distribution, Parks and Recreation, Planning, Capital Improvement Projects and other special initiatives. These services are delivered by a relatively small workforce of employees and contractors, supported by a limited General Fund of approximately $16 million. As the City continues to maintain and expand on these services and projects with constrained resources, securing alternative funding sources such as grants, remains essential.
DISCUSSION
Since the approval of the agreement, B&A has demonstrated value to the City by helping secure a highly competitive grant from the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD). The $500,000 award will support planning and design efforts for the Lomita Sports and Community Center (formerly Navy Fields). Throughout the
CITY OF LOMITA
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 7f
Tuesday, April 21, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *47
2 term of the agreement, B&A staff has also maintained regular communication with City staff regarding current and upcoming grant opportunities.
The City continues to have several projects that will benefit, and in many cases depend on, grant funding to move forward. While some projects have made meaningful progress over the past year, others require securing additional funding sources to advance. The following projects represent key priorities for the City which B&A can provide support through grant research, consultations, and when applicable, grant development and submittal.
1) Lomita Sports Complex: With the success of acquiring half a million dollars from the RPSOD grant, the City will soon begin the planning and design efforts of the Lomita Sports Complex. These efforts may include but not limited to; Conceptual and schematic designs, preparation of construction documents, California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analysis, site assessments and community engagement. At the conclusion of the planning and designing phase, the Lomita Sports Complex will be construction ready and competitive for additional grant opportunities.
2) Port of LA Waterfront Red Trolly Car (Red Car): The City Council approved receipt of a Red Car Trolley replica from the Port of LA for display at Annex Park adjacent to the Lomita Railroad Museum. This project includes construction of a new display structure, relocation of existing tracks, landscape grading, ongoing maintenance, and possible transportation/set-up costs. The cost of the project is estimated to be around $300,000. The City is looking to offset these costs through grant funding. Upon completions, the project will establish a new home for the trolley enhancing the park as a community destination where residents and visitors can appreciate its historic significance, engage in educational opportunities, and support its long-term preservation.
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 garden and transform it into a monument and enhance the area to benefit the entire community. The monument would be Tuesday, April 21, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *48
3 incorporated into a stage with lightning where City events can be hosted for residents and visitors. The project would require renovation of the existing public space, monument signs installations, planting, concrete work, stage enlargement and lightning equipment to be installed. The total cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $380,000.
5) Sewer Replacement: The City of Lomita seeks funding for the Wastewater System Improvement Project. The City’s Sewer System Master Plan hydraulic modeling identified a 1930’s sewer line that is nearing capacity and will become deficient as more housing is built. This aged sewer line currently runs through 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. The original cost estimate for this project was initially $7,907,938. However, due to the drastic pricing changes of materials and services that have been occurring, the new estimate for this project is expected to be approximately $20,000,000.
6) Citywide School Loading Zone Study: The Citywide School Loading Zone Study examines traffic conditions around schools in Lomita, evaluates existing school loading zones, and assesses safe travel for pedestrians and bicyclists.
The study evaluated pedestrian, bicyclist and traffic safety in the vicinity of the following four Lomita schools; Alexander Fleming Middle School, Lomita STEAM Magnet School, St. Margaret Mary School and Eshelman Avenue Elementary School. The infrastructure improvement recommendations include near-term and long-term solutions that are contingent upon the City receiving grant funding to implement.
The City’s current agreement with B&A is set to expire on May 5, 2026, with the option to renew if mutually agreed on by both parties. B&A has agreed to extend the agreement for an additional one-year term with no increase to the existing rate structure. Given the City‘s ongoing need to advance unfunded special projects, coupled with the successful acquisition of grant funding to date, staff recommends renewing the agreement with B&A to ensure continuity of these services. Under the proposed amendment, B&A will continue to provide key grant-related services to the City, including grant research, monitoring, consultations, and the development and submittal of grant proposals.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed amendment will extend the term to May 5, 2027 for an additional $50,000.
Funding for this contract is included in the Adopted Budget.
VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES

2 RECENT GRANT AWARDS
Ou r 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, particula rly when most grant prog rams only fund anywhere from 5 to 20 percent of appl ications received. Our knowledge and experience with grant prog rams, daily resea rch activities, and assistance with the "go" or "no-go" decision-making process ensu res that we a re knowledgeable of the programs and projects that granting agencies seek to fu nd. Our services are designed to ensure the client maintains situational awa reness of potentia l gra nts that su pport their specific needs, pursue all appropriate grant fu nding, and ensure proper grant reporting and close-out administration for award ed gra nts.
In the past five yea rs, B&A developed over 830 gra nts for our Cal ifornia cl ients, winning over $641 mil lion in grant fu nding. $52 million of these requests were for Cong ressionally directed spending and California legislature set asides.
Recently, B&A won 11 of 16 Ca ltra ns Hig hway Safety Improvement Program grant applications submitted on behalf of our clients, worth over $4.2 million in fund ing. This equates to a 69 percent win rate.

Docusign Envelope ID: D875CD4B-2E67-44A7-9F53-4B656967201 C I c. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
B&A employs a tried-and-true methodology that has proven successfu l for our clients over the past two decades.
GRANT RESEARCH - GRANT MONITORING/INTELLIGENCE
Actively Identify Grant Resources. B&A resea rches, tracks, and identifies grant opportun ities util izing a systematic, daily process to fi nd grant sol icitations at the federa l, state, regional, and local level. The resea rch team in tu rn develops a Fact Sheet and attends workshops or webinars. The Fact Sheet routinely provides the name of the fu nding agency, leve l of fu nding ava ilable, historic average awa rds for the prog ram, due dates, elig ible and inelig i ble projects or activities, prog ram summary, and other critica l deta ils. In addition, our membership to the League of Cities provides us with up-to-date knowledge reg ardi ng issues facing local and regional government agencies. B&A also mon itors propositions and leg isl ative activities to understa nd the potentia l impact on our cl ients and grant prog rams.
GRANT RESEARCH - MONTHLY GRANT ACTIVITY REPORT
Our B&A Research
Department develops and
issues over 450 targeted
grant Fact Sheets and
summa ries every year.
B&A recommends a month ly Grant Activity Report (GAR) conference ca ll with key City staff. This sta nding conference ca ll allows discussion of open and active grant opportu nities and potential projects The GAR wi ll identify all grants in the development process, those that have been submitted, grant awa rds, den ied 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 desig ned to give City staff updates about the grant prog ram accompl ishments and ROI, as applicable.
GRANT RESEARCH -GRANT RESEARCH CONSULTATION
At any time during our contract, the City ca n request the Grant Research team to perform grant resea rch consu ltation to i nvestigate a specific grant prog ram. Internal ly, B&A coo rd inates to ensu re that the research is conducted in a responsive, thorough, and timely fashion. This resea rch may include contact with the fu nding agency to develop intell igence on the goals and objectives of the prog ram or measure the agency's inte rest in fu nding the project as contemplated or proposed by the cl ient This is particu la rly va luable to the City when eva luating a proposed project that may not initia lly appear to be eligible or competitive for the program. Our extensive list of contacts within grant fu nding agencies enables the B&A resea rch team to gather useful information and actionable guida nce for the team.

GRANT APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT
Our services are desig ned 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. Al l B&A-written appl ications are custom developed, with detailed and tailored narrative sections, graphics, photos, and artwo rk. 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 Over the past 20 years,
B&A has written more than
2,000 grant proposals
winning over $1.5 bill ion in
grant funding.
• Once the cl ient 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 cl ient This activity typically takes between one and three days to provide the client with a detailed quote. Upon cl ient approval, B&A sched ules all meeting s, assembles stakeholders, and obtains relevant information from multiple stakeholders (via emails, phone calls, or virtual meetings) to develop targeted, effective grant proposal submissions Throug hout the grant proposal development process, B&A ensures that all req uired components of a proposal are included in the application for submission, ensuring ad herence to grant evaluation criteria. • Based on the due date and proposal requirements, B&A develops an overall grant outl ine, cal led a Timeline and Checkl ist, which identifies a list of tasks to be accompl ished, milestone dates to be met, and who wi ll be responsible. B&A works with City staff and team to determine writing assignments, including an estimate of how much City staff time wi ll be needed at the beg inning of each project This includes ide ntifying who is responsible for completing the tasks and the dates tasks are to be completed. B&A strives to complete as much of the appl ication independently as possi ble. B&A provides the leadership for the coo rdination of any necessary meetings, conference calls, or discussions.
A grant Timeline &
Checklist is a B&A best
practice that guides the
entire grant writing
appl ication process.
• B&A develops an appl ication outl ine 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 appl ication.
• 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. B&A interviews key staff and/or other consultants to capture as much information about the project as possible. As needed, B&A can also develop Staff Reports and Resolutions for B

• B&A provides budget guida nce and ju stifications in alignment with City pol icies and personnel guidelines and in conformance with grant solicitation requirements.
• Concu rrently, B&A determines the role of any sta keholders and identifies those stakeholders in coordination with staff and consultants.
B&A will work with staff to identify sta keholders for letters of support and wi ll develop the letters of support for distribution B&A wi ll 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 resou rces such as General Pla ns, California Commu nities Environmental Hea lth Screening Tool (Ca lE nviroScreen), B&A grant applications are
all custom developed with
unique support letters and
graphics.
and Goog le Earth, to name a few All B&A team members are trained in the use of these tools; no outside consulta nts are required
• B&A determines if any special graphics, artwork, maps, etc. are needed and incorporates those exhibits into the proposa l as soon as possible. B&A ge nerally develops graphics, ma ps, and artwork in-house. If specialized Geog raphic Information System (GIS) maps are required, B&A ca n su bcontra ct with GIS special ists or work with the client's internal GIS team to perform these ta sks. However, most grant appl ications do not require highly detai led graph ics, and we have been very successfu l with our intern al map development. • B&A conducts any greenhouse gas reduction, water savings, energy savings and other calcu lations, as necessa ry. B&A staff are trai ned in the calcu lation tools accepted by most g ra nt fu nding agencies including the Ca liforn ia Air Resou rces Board emission reduction and greenhouse gas red uction tools. B&A mai nta ins relationships with specific technical or engineering firms that ca n provide access to other modeling tools, including Benefit Cost Ana lyses.
• B&A ma nages and incorporates all edits to g ra nt proposa ls to ensu re consistency of messaging, integ ration of gra nt requirements and succinctness prior to fi nal client review and submittal to the fu nding authority. B&A wi ll provide draft copies of grant proposa ls (80 percent and 100 percent) t o t h e City with an adequ ate amount of time to al low for feed back and fi nal 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 ed its or discusses any ed its that might impact the scoring of the project or exceed proposal limitations. The 80 perce nt draft is intended to ensure the technical aspects of the proposal are accurate and consistent with the goals of the clie nt, including the budget The final 100 percent draft ensu res the City and B&A are comforta ble with the final appl ication and there is an opportunity to interject any of the City's fi nal adjustments, sig natu res, and approva l to submit.

Final documents are provided to the client. All original work products are provided to the cl ient via a link to our B&A system. All electronic fi les are in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoi nt, or other ap propriate softwa re. • In the case that a grant proposal is denied, B&A will coordin ate with staff and the granting age ncy to req uest a debriefing. Debriefings are extremely va luable because the team can receive recomme ndations to strengthen the proposal for the next grant cycle.

SUBJECT: Approval of Agreements for Services Related to Founders Day 2026
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve Professional Services Agreement with Active Global Protection Inc. for security guard services in an amount not to exceed $7,497.00; and an agreement with Fireworks America for a fireworks show in an amount not to exceed $28,000.
BACKGROUND
Founders Day is the City’s signature event in Lomita which has taken place annually on the last weekend in June in Downtown Lomita. The event involves food vendors, music, community group informational tables, carnival games, and youth-oriented activities, and our popular fireworks show.
This year’s event has been planned as a two-day celebration on Saturday, June 27th and Sunday, June 28th. Event preparations and street closures for this year’s event will begin on Friday, June 26th at 12 p.m. This will allow the stage, sound, rides, carnival game booths, and vendors to begin the Founders Day set up.
DISCUSSION
Security
Staff solicited proposals from multiple companies capable of providing overnight security for the two-day event. Security services will required starting on Friday, June 26th at 5 p.m.
CITY OF LOMITA
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 7g
Tuesday, April 21, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *80
2 Staff is recommending awarding the contract to Active Global Protection Inc. (Attachment No.1). They will be providing 12 guards to patrol Narbonne Avenue on Friday and Saturday nights.
The attached agreement, if approved by the City Council, would secure the required overnight security vendor in an amount not to exceed $7,497.00.
Fireworks (15 minute or 20 minute show)
Staff solicited proposals from multiple qualified companies for fireworks display services.
Fireworks America was selected to provide the fireworks display in celebration of Founders Day for the 2026 season due to their lowest bid.
The attached agreement (Attachment No. 2), if approved by the City Council, would secure the fireworks show in an amount not to exceed $28,000.
The City has traditionally offered the community a 15-minute fireworks show, which was quoted at $24,000. Fireworks America is still determining if it has the equipment to provide a 20-minute show. Should it be feasible to extend the display to a 20-minute show within this cost, staff will proceed with that option at $28,000.
FISCAL IMPACT
If approved, the Recommended Action includes overnight security services at $7,497 and a fireworks show in an amount not to exceed $28,000. Should it be feasible to extend the display to a 20-minute show within this cost, staff will proceed with that option. If not, the City will continue with the traditional 15-minute show, which would not exceed $24,000, consistent with previous years. These costs have been appropriated in the FY 2026–28 Adopted Budget. Sponsorships and small private donations generally offset partial event costs.
VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No. 4: Quality of Life & Livability – Creating vibrant spaces and services for all ages.
OPTIONS
Authorize the execution of the agreements.

The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be maintained by CONTRACTOR 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 CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions concerning indemnification.
14. ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement is for CONTRACTOR’s professional services.
CONTRACTOR’s attempts to assign the benefits or burdens of this Agreement without CITY’s written approval are prohibited and will be null and void.
15. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. CITY and CONTRACTOR agree that CONTRACTOR will act as an independent contractor and will have control of all work and the manner in which it is performed. CONTRACTOR will be free to contract for similar services to be performed for other employers while under contract with CITY. CONTRACTOR is not an agent or employee of CITY and is not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance, bonus, or similar benefits CITY provides for its employees. Any provision in this Agreement that may appear to give CITY the right to direct CONTRACTOR as to the details of doing the work or to exercise a measure of control over the work means that CONTRACTOR will follow the direction of the CITY as to end results of the work only.
16. AUDIT OF RECORDS.

determined by CITY to implement said corrective measures. Failure of CONTRACTOR to implement required corrective measures shall result in immediate termination of this Agreement.
14. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.
A. CONTRACTOR, at CONTRACTOR’s own cost and expense, shall procure and maintain, for the duration of the contract, the following insurance policies:
1. Workers' Compensation Insurance as required by law. CONTRACTOR shall require all subcontractors to provide such compensation insurance for their respective employees similarly. Any notice of cancellation or nonrenewal of all Workers’ Compensation policies must be received by CITY at least thirty (30) days prior to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against CITY, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by CONTRACTOR for CITY.
2. General Liability Coverage. CONTRACTOR shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence, two million ($2,000,000) general aggregate, 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 fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) combined single limit for each occurrence.
B. Endorsements. Each 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 Tuesday, April 21, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *87
elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.
Any insurance maintained by CITY, including any self-insured retention CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with this policy.
3. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.
4. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, or agents.
5. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers.
6. The insurance provided by this policy shall not be suspended, voided, canceled, or reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days’ written notice has been received by CITY.
C. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss against Contractor arising out of the work performed under this agreement.
CITY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve CITY.
D. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by CITY. At CITY’s option, CONTRACTOR shall demonstrate financial capability for payment of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.
E. CONTRACTOR shall provide certificates of insurance with original endorsements to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein.
Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with CITY on or before commencement of performance of this Agreement. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with CITY at all times during the term of this Agreement.
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 Tuesday, April 21, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *88
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.
15. 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.
16. FINAL PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE CONSTITUTES RELEASE. The acceptance by the CONTRACTOR of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of CITY from all claims and liabilities for compensation to the CONTRACTOR for anything done, furnished or relating to the CONTRACTOR’S work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of CITY’S check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by CITY shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of CONTRACTOR, its employees, sub-Contractors and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by CITY for any defect or error in the work prepared by CONTRACTOR, its employees, sub-Contractors and agents.
17. 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.
18. NON-APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. Payments to be made to CONTRACTOR by CITY for services performed 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.

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. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this Agreement.
B. The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be maintained by CONTRACTOR as required by Section 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 CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions concerning indemnification.

not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance, bonus or similar benefits CITY provides for its employees. Any provision in this Agreement that may appear to give CITY the right to direct CONTRACTOR as to the details of doing the work or to exercise a measure of control over the work means that CONTRACTOR will follow the direction of the CITY as to end results of the work only.
13. 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.
CONTRACTOR agrees to provide CITY, or designee, with any relevant information requested and will permit CITY, or designee, access to its premises, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours for the purpose of interviewing employees and inspecting and copying such books, records, accounts, and other material that may be relevant to a matter under investigation for the purpose of determining compliance with this Agreement.
CONTRACTOR further agrees to maintain such records for a period of three (3) years following final payment under this Agreement.
B. CONTRACTOR will keep all books, records, accounts and documents pertaining to this Agreement separate from other activities unrelated to this Agreement.
14. CORRECTIVE MEASURES. CONTRACTOR will promptly implement any corrective measures required by CITY regarding the requirements and obligations of this Agreement.

Failure of CONTRACTOR to implement required corrective measures shall result in immediate termination of this Agreement.
15. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.
A. CONTRACTOR, at CONTRACTOR’s own cost and expense, shall procure and maintain, for the duration of the contract, the following insurance policies:
1. Workers Compensation Insurance as required by law. CONTRACTOR shall require all subcontractors similarly to provide such compensation insurance for their respective employees. Any notice of cancellation or non-renewal of all Workers’ Compensation policies must be received by CITY at least thirty (30) days prior to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against CITY, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by CONTRACTOR for CITY.
2. General Liability Coverage. CONTRACTOR shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than 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 Tuesday, April 21, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *102
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.
B. Endorsements. Each general liability and automobile 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.
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 Tuesday, April 21, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *103
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 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 Tuesday, April 21, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *104
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.

At its meeting on February 17, 2026, the City Council approved a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) authorizing the City to join the South Bay Regional Housing Trust (SBRHT). The SBRHT is designed to help fund the development and construction of affordable housing units in cities who are members of the trust, and only for development projects supported by the city in which it is proposed.
As part of the approval of the JPA to join the SBRHT, the City Council appointed Councilmember Bill Uphoff as the City’s Delegate to the SBRHT Board.
DISCUSSION
SBCCOG Executive Director Jacki Bacharach recently informed staff that in addition to the appointment of a Delegate to the SBRHT, the City is required to also appoint an Alternate member. The Alternate member must be an elected official of the City. If approved, the Recommended Action will satisfy this requirement.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no financial implications resulting from this recommendation.

PREPARED BY: Adrian Fernandez, Community and Economic Development Director
MEETING DATE: April 21, 2026
SUBJECT: Participation in the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Grant Program for Year 5
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving and authorizing participation in the Los Angeles County Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program once it becomes available for the PLHA Program Year 5.
BACKGROUND
In 2017, the State of California approved Senate Bill (SB 2), which created the Building Homes and Jobs Act and the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Grant program. The PLHA program is the State’s first permanent source of funding for affordable housing since the elimination of Redevelopment Agencies in the State.
Revenue is generated through recording fees on real estate transactions and varies from year to year depending on activity. The methodology for the allocation of funds is based on population, poverty and overcrowding.
The City Council previously approved participation in the PLHA for two programs in Program Year 4 for Lomita Manor operating costs and improvements.
The Year 5 allocation is estimated at $63,930. It is recommended that the funds be allocated towards Lomita Manor operations.
FISCAL IMPACT
If approved, the City will receive approximately $63,930 in revenue that will be restricted for the Lomita Manor public housing project.

1 TO: City Council
FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Adrian Fernandez, Community and Economic Development Director
PRESENTED BY: Bryan Martinez, Associate Planner
MEETING DATE: April 21, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of an Ordinance Adopting the 2025 California Fire Code
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Conduct public hearing and after the City Attorney reads the title introducing the first reading of the proposed ordinance, schedule the second reading and adoption for the May 19, 2026 City Council meeting.
BACKGROUND
The City is required to apply fire safety codes to its building standards. The City adopts the Los Angeles County Fire Code by reference to apply its fire code.
Every three years, the State of California adopts new building and fire codes. It is then typical for the County of Los Angeles to adopt amendments to these codes prior to the State’s codes’ effective date. The 2025 California Fire Code became effective on January 1, 2026.
DISCUSSION
The City of Lomita contracts with the County of Los Angeles Fire District for enforcement of the City’s fire code, the general supervision of conditions and equipment which aid in the control of fire, and the abatement of fire hazards and dangerous conditions. In the past, the City has adopted earlier versions of these codes by reference. The County codes have not been revised to comply with the California Fire Code.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 9b
Tuesday, April 21, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *123
2 Over the last few code cycles, the Los Angeles County Fire Department has been late in adopting its amendments. The Los Angeles County Fire Department has yet to announce when its amendments will be ready. As a result and with consultation of the City Attorney, staff recommends the adoption of the 2025 California State Fire Code at this time and will return to the City Council after the County adopts its amendments at some point in the future.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no financial implications resulting from this recommendation.
VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No. 1: Safety & Security - Keeping Lomita safe, prepared and resilient.

ORDINANCE NO. 886
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOMITA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 3-1 (FIRE PREVENTION) OF TITLE 3 OF THE LOMITA MUNICIPAL CODE; ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE 2025 EDITION OF THE CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE (TITLE 24 PART 9 OF THE CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE); AND FINDING THE ACTION EXEMPT FROM
THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOMITA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Section 3-1.01 of Title 3 of the City of Lomita Municipal Code is amended to read as follows:
3-1.01. County fire code adopted.
Except as hereinafter provided, the California Fire Code, 2025 Edition (Part 9 of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations) as in effect on January 1 2026, adopting the California Fire Code, 2025 Edition (California Code of Regulations Title 24, Part 9) is hereby incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein, and shall constitute and may be cited as the Fire Code of the City of Lomita.
In the event of any conflict between provisions of the California Fire Code, 2025 Edition, or any amendment to the fire code contained in the City of Lomita Municipal Code, the provision contained in the latter listed document shall control.
A copy of the California Fire Code, 2025 Edition, has been deposited in the office of the City Clerk of the City of Lomita and shall be at all times maintained by the city clerk for use and examination by the public.
Section 2. To the extent the provisions of this ordinance are substantially the same as previous provisions of the Lomita Municipal Code, these provisions shall be construed as continuations of those provisions and not as new enactments.
Section 3. Adoption of this ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). The adoption of the proposed ordinance is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. As the proposed ordinance adopts state amendments to the California Building Standard Code reasonably necessary to mitigate threats to the public health and safety posed by local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions, the City’s adoption is largely administrative in nature and designed to improve environmental quality; therefore, the action poses no potential of causing significant adverse effects to the environment.

This ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after the date of its passage; and prior to fifteen (15) days after its passage, the City Clerk shall cause a copy of this ordinance to be published in accordance with the provisions of the law.
