1 TO: City Council
FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Deanna Fraley, P.E., Public Works Director MEETING DATE: May 5, 2026
SUBJECT: Discussion and Consideration of a Resolution of Intent to Levy Annual Assessments for Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2026-2027
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution and set the public hearing date for June 2, 2026.
BACKGROUND
At its meeting on April 7, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2026 14 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 COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 7d
Tuesday, May 05, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *32
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.
To ensure a fair and equitable sharing of LMD costs, the City conducts an annual review of an engineer’s report wherein the current year’s expenses are reviewed, the ensuing year’s expenses are budgeted, and the assessment for the ensuing fiscal year is set. In setting the annual assessment, the City Council will consider any proposed new improvements or any changes in existing improvements, and any fund balances or shortages, and adjust the assessment accordingly. Payment of the assessment for each parcel is made in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for property taxes for each property.
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 2026-27, including maintenance, water, electricity, irrigation maintenance, tree trimming, and miscellaneous clean up and repair is $46,123.18. The current assessment on the 211 properties is $55.63 per parcel, for a total of $11,737.93, leaving a $34,385.25 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 2026-27. 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.
Potential for Future Increases
As mentioned above, the City has subsidized the costs to maintain this area for years, and this year the proposed assessment carries a $34,385.25 shortfall. An increase to adequately recover LMD expenses would require the City Council to undertake the notice and protest procedures in compliance with Proposition 218.
The Proposition 218 process involves, preparation of an Engineer’s Report, mailed notice and ballot to each property owner 45 days before the public hearing, and a public hearing.
Tuesday, May 05, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *33
3 FISCAL IMPACT
The funds collected within the District will be utilized to maintain the areas incorporated within the District for Fiscal Year 2026-27. The general fund will subsidize the projected shortfall through the contribution of staff time.
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.

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 2026/2027, 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 2026/2027 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 2026/2027 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:

Proposed Assessment
Part I
Plans and Specifications: A general description of the District boundaries and the proposed improvements for which parcels are assessed. The parcels within the District are comprised of the residential parcels within the development identified as Tract 25201 (Rolling Ranchos) and the proposed assessments as outlined in this Report are based on the improvements that provide a special benefit to the properties within the District.
Part II
The Method of Apportionment: A discussion of benefits the improvements and services provide to properties within the District and the method of calculating each property's proportional special benefit and annual assessment. This section also identifies and outlines the Assessment Range Formula that provides for an annual adjustment to the initial maximum assessment rate identified in this Report, thereby establishing set limits on future assessments, but also providing for reasonable cost adjustments due to inflation.
Part IlI
The Proposed Budgets: An estimate of the annual costs to operate, maintain, and service the landscape improvements and appurtenant facilities. This budget includes an estimate of anticipated annual direct maintenance costs and incidental expenses including, but not limited to labor, materials, equipment and administration expenses as well as the collection of appropriate fund balances necessary to support the improvements for the District. The proposed maximum assessment rate identified in the budget of this Report establishes the proposed new maximum assessment rate for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 and shall be adjusted annually by the Assessment Range Formula described in the method of apportionment.
Part IV
Boundary Diagram: A Diagram showing the exterior boundaries of the District is provided in this Report and includes all parcels determined to receive special benefits from the improvements. Parcel identification, the lines, and dimensions of each lot, parcel, and subdivision of land within the District are shown on the Los Angeles County Assessor's Parcel Maps and shall include any subsequent lot line adjustments or parcel changes therein. Reference is hereby made to the Los Angeles County Assessor's Parcel Maps for a detailed description of the lines and dimensions of each lot and parcel of land within the District. A diagram showing the overall boundaries of the District is on file with the City Clerk and the Lomita Public Works Department, and by reference is made part of this Report.

Proposed Assessment
Part V
Proposed Assessments: A listing of the calculated maximum assessment amount associated with each parcel within the District. The calculated maximum assessment amount described herein constitutes an increase to the previously adopted maximum assessment: however, notwithstanding the newly calculated maximum assessment, the amount of the assessment for Fiscal Year 2026/2027 will remain unchanged and any cost above the total assessed amount will be paid for by the City of Lomita. Said assessment, therefore, represents each parcel's calculated proportional amount of the District funded improvement costs proposed commencing in Fiscal Year 2026/2027 based on the estimated net annual cost to maintain and service the improvements as outlined in the budget(s) and method of apportionment contained in this Report.

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 it has been necessary for the City to utilize increasingly more General Fund revenues to support the cost of these improvements as costs continue to escalate.
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 performance of periodic repairs and replacement as needed to provide for the proper Tuesday, May 05, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *41

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 are 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 a 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.

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 05, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *43
Engineer’s Report
Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
Fiscal Year 2026/2027
Proposed Assessment
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.

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 2026/2027.
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, improvements, and assessor's fees. An estimated $34,385.25 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 2026/2027, as determined from the following information:
Contract costs and City services for landscape maintenance services ($24,294.72); improvement costs for repairing the bike path ($13,354.78); utility costs for water and electricity ($7,575.68); administration costs ($898.00) for the 2026/2027 fiscal year. The total service cost is $46,123.18.
The City subsidy to the District for 2026/2027 will be $34,385.25.

PREPARED BY: Deanna Fraley, PE, Public Works Director
MEETING DATE: May 5, 2026
SUBJECT: Public Works Agreement with Colich & Sons, L.P. for Citywide Concrete Removal and Replacement Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a Public Works Agreement to Colich & Sons, L.P. for Citywide Concrete Removal and Replacement Project in the amount of $124,022.50, plus an additional 15% contingency of $18,603.38, for a total construction budget not to exceed $142,625.88; and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.
BACKGROUND
In November 2021, the City Council adopted a Sidewalk Inspection Policy to manage its 57 miles of sidewalks. Since then, the Public Works Department has conducted annual inspections and completed over 500 sidewalk repairs, which included ramping, grinding, and single panel replacements. Upon further assessment, staff identified additional locations that require extensive repairs that will demand significant time and effort, which go beyond the City’s internal resources.
DISCUSSION
Pursuant to Lomita Municipal Code Section 2-6.24 – Informal bidding procedures under the Uniform Public Construction Cost Account Act, this project falls within the Medium projects which may follow the public project informal bidding procedure set forth in subd. (b) of section 22032 of the Public Contract Code. Medium projects are limited to $220,000.00 in project construction cost. In accordance with the informal bidding procedure, the City invited three qualified contractors to bid on the Citywide Concrete Removal and Replacement Project. The three contractors provided bids within the

2 requested time and are summarized in Table 1. The lowest apparent responsible and responsive bidder was Colich and Sons, L.P.
Table1: Citywide Concrete Repair and Replacement Bid Results Due to limited funding, the construction is being limited to public sidewalk improvements within the City’s right-of-way to improve pedestrian access, safety, accessibility. While driveway aprons are also located within the public right-of-way, they are not included in the scope of this project. Furthermore, driveway aprons primarily serve individual properties by providing vehicle access, and are typically constructed, maintained, and replaced at the property owner’s expense, even when located within the right-of-way. As such they are considered a private benefit improvement rather than a public pedestrian facility.
Including driveway apron reconstruction as part of this project would significantly increase construction costs and reduce the City’s ability to deliver sidewalk improvements across a broader area. By limiting the scope to pedestrian facilities, the City is able to maximize the use of available funding to address sidewalk deficiencies and improve accessibility for the greatest number of users.
Where necessary to construct adjacent sidewalk improvements, limited removal and replacement of driveway apron sections may occur to ensure proper grade transitions and compliance with accessibility requirements. In such cases, reconstruction will be limited to the minimum extent necessary to complete the sidewalk improvements and will not constitute full replacement of the driveway apron.
Property owners retain the option to repair or reconstruct driveway aprons independently, subject to applicable City standards and permitting requirements.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a Public Works Agreement with Colich & Sons, L.P., identified as the lowest responsible bidder, for the Citywide Concrete Removal and Replacement project. The agreement totals $124,022.50 with an additional 15% contingency of $18,603.38 for a total contract amount not to exceed $142,625.88 and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT

Said compensation shall cover all expenses, losses, damages, and consequences arising out of the nature of the work during its progress or prior to its acceptance including those for well and faithfully completing the work and the whole thereof in the manner and time specified in the aforesaid contract documents; and also including those arising from actions of the elements, unforeseen difficulties or obstructions encountered in the prosecution of the work, suspension or discontinuance of the work, and all other unknowns or risks of any description connected with the work.
B. As additional consideration, CITY agrees to pay CONTRACTOR for its services satisfactory and reasonably rendered in an amount not to exceed $124,022.50, computed at a rate pursuant to the rate schedule set forth in the SCOPE OF WORK and attached as Exhibit B, unless otherwise specified by written amendment to this Agreement.

EXHIBIT B
Scope of Work
The project consists of furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals necessary to remove and replace a minimum of 2,600 square feet of damaged, non-compliant, or deteriorated sidewalks throughout the City of Lomita. Work will occur within the public rightof-way and includes reconstruction of pedestrian facilities to improve safety, accessibility, and overall conditions in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The work generally includes removal and replacement of existing concrete sidewalks and construction of new concrete improvements to current City standards. The contractor shall ensure that all new improvements meet current accessibility requirements, including proper cross-slopes, longitudinal slopes, and smooth transitions, while maintaining or improving existing drainage conditions and eliminating tripping hazards.
Prior to construction, the contractor shall review project limits and City-provided data, verify field conditions, and coordinate with City sta* regarding project priorities, phasing, and scheduling. The contractor shall identify potential conflicts, including utilities, trees, and drainage issues, and prepare tra*ic control plans in accordance with the California Manual on Uniform Tra*ic Control Devices.
Construction activities include sawcutting, removal, and lawful disposal of existing sidewalk, as well as removal of uplifted or damaged concrete caused by tree roots or subgrade failure. Subgrade shall be excavated, regraded, and compacted to the required specifications, with over-excavation and replacement performed where unsuitable materials are encountered. The contractor shall coordinate with the City regarding tree root pruning in accordance with applicable arborist/City guidance.
All work shall include appropriate jointing, scoring, and surface finishes consistent with City requirements. Utility covers, valve boxes, and pull boxes shall be adjusted to finished grade, and coordination with utility providers shall be performed as necessary to protect or relocate existing facilities.
Driveway aprons located within the public right-of-way are not included for full reconstruction under this project. Where necessary to complete adjacent sidewalk improvements and achieve required grade transitions or accessibility compliance, limited removal and replacement of portions of driveway aprons may occur; however, such work shall be restricted to the minimum extent necessary and shall not constitute full apron replacement.
Tuesday, May 05, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *92
The contractor shall implement tra*ic control measures in accordance with CA MUTCD standards and maintain safe pedestrian access at all times, including the provision of temporary walkways, detours, signage, barricades, and flagging as required. Upon completion of work, all disturbed areas—including parkways, landscaping, and irrigation systems—shall be restored to a condition equal to or better than pre-construction conditions, and all work sites shall be kept clean and orderly.
The contractor shall coordinate with City inspectors for all required inspections and shall remove and replace any work that does not meet City standards.

SUBJECT: “Love Lomita” Citywide Volunteer Day Initiative
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and file.
BACKGROUND
“Love Lomita” is a proposed Citywide volunteer initiative developed in partnership with the Love Our Cities nonprofit organization that supports coordinated volunteer efforts in communities across the country. The program provides a structured and accessible platform that allows cities to organize large scale volunteer events by connecting residents, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and community groups through a centralized system.
The core component of the program is a Citywide volunteer day where community members participate in organized service projects throughout the City. These projects are typically completed within a single day and are designed to address local needs while fostering community engagement and civic pride.
The Love Our Cities model has been implemented in over 100 cities which include LA County cities such as Long Beach, La Mirada and Whittier. The initiative has facilitated over 1.4 million volunteer hours and over 330,000 volunteers have been involved nationwide. Examples of various volunteer projects amongst cities include school clean ups, street clean ups, meal distributions, painting houses for seniors, gardening activities and various other community services activities.
Through the Love our Cities program, Love Lomita would receive access to tools and resources such as a volunteer registration website, project management support, and

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 8b

2 outreach strategies, allowing participating cities to focus on coordination and community engagement rather than program development.
DISCUSSION
The proposed Love Lomita initiative would establish a coordinated, citywide volunteer day anticipated to take place in October. The event would include a variety of communitybased projects such as neighborhood cleanups, beautification efforts, assistance for seniors, school-related improvements, and donation drives. The initiative is intended to be largely volunteer-driven, with the City serving in a coordination and facilitation role.
Each project would be led by a designated volunteer project leader and supported by community participants.
A key benefit of this initiative is the Love Lomita website (www.lovelomita.com), which serves as a platform for volunteer registration, project sign-ups, and community-submitted project ideas. The website allows the City to utilize an existing system rather than developing a new concept, significantly reducing administrative burden and startup costs.
Staff has researched all aspects of starting up the Love Lomita initiative, and are prepared to begin identifying community partners, recruiting project leaders, and building out a list of volunteer projects. Outreach efforts will focus on engaging local businesses, nonprofit organizations, schools, and community groups to ensure broad participation.
In addition to the one-day event, the program encourages ongoing volunteerism by connecting participants with future opportunities to remain engaged in the community.
This approach supports long-term community building and strengthens partnerships between the City and local stakeholders. Love Lomita represents an opportunity to bring the community together through a coordinated, citywide volunteer effort that promotes civic engagement, strengthens partnerships, enhances the quality of life within the City, and provides positive community impact. The City will promote the Love Lomita Day through our regular public outreach channels to encourage volunteer registration and share updates leading up to the event to build momentum and awareness in this community-wide initiative.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Love Lomita initiative is expected to have minimal fiscal impact to the City, as it is primarily volunteer driven. Potential costs may include nominal expenditures related to event coordination, promotional materials, and supplies for volunteer projects. These costs may be offset through sponsorships, donations, or partnerships with local organizations. No budget appropriation is requested at this time.

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 has 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 Tuesday, May 05, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *105
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 claim within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of that check. However, approval or Tuesday, May 05, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *106
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 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.

CONTRACTOR shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence, two million dollars ($2,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage.

B. Endorsements. Each general liability, automobile liability and professional Tuesday, May 05, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *119
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.

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.

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 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 Tuesday, May 05, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *121
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.

1 TO: City Council
FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Adrian Fernandez, Community and Economic Development Director
MEETING DATE: May 5, 2026
SUBJECT: Zoning Text Amendment No. 2026-02 – An update to the Lomita Municipal Code Regarding Off-Street Parking
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Conduct a public hearing, after the City Attorney reads the title introducing the first reading of Ordinance No. 887 for Zoning Text Amendment No. 2026-02 to amend Article 66 (OffStreet Parking, Storage and Loading) and Article 15 (Definitions) of Lomita Municipal Code (LMC) Title XI (Planning and Zoning) Chapter 1 (Zoning, find the action to be categorically exempt from the California Environmentally Quality Act (CEQA), and, schedule the second reading and adoption of the Ordinance for the May 19, 2026 City Council meeting.
BACKGROUND
In the Lomita Downtown Vision report by Kosmont Companies and Studio One Eleven completed in 2018, the report defined the downtown area as a vibrant place to live, work, and visit. The report assessed Lomita’s existing conditions, provided a market study, which highlights trends, demographics, and areas of opportunity, and an analysis of Lomita’s existing policies and ordinances. The recommendations produced in the report provided strategies to enhance the Downtown Lomita area, including maximizing parking opportunities for local businesses.
Specifically, the Lomita Downtown Vision cautioned the City to monitor over-regulations around increased food, beverage, and entertainment uses. Food and entertainment uses generate a greater need for parking compared to office and retail uses. Therefore, most commercial properties in the Downtown area are not eligible to support these uses because our current zoning code does not allow it due to deficient parking spaces in the area.
CITY OF LOMITA
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 9a
Tuesday, May 05, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *129
2 At a joint City Council and Planning Commission meeting on January 13, 2026, staff presented information on alternatives to enhance the City’s current commercial parking options. Among the options presented was to relax commercial parking regulations in Downtown Lomita along Narbonne Avenue in order to stimulate economic development.
DISCUSSION
At its special meeting on April 20, 2026, the Planning Commission unanimously approved Resolution No. PC 2026-05 recommending that the City Council approve the proposed zoning text amendment regarding commercial off-street parking, storage and loading.
The Lomita Downtown Vision suggests that commercial parking spaces in Downtown Lomita are adequate for suburban places but too restrictive for the downtown area. In other similar downtown areas, parking requirements for commercial/retail uses are typically non-existent because businesses are encouraged to utilize shared and public facilities.
Furthermore, the City’s General Plan reinforces this relaxed parking standard in the City’s downtown area, stating that “[p]romote economic opportunities in Downtown Lomita through a mixture of housing, destination-type commercial uses, eateries, entertainment, and civic uses such as cultural and performing arts facilities. Support pedestrian-friendly and human-scaled development within the downtown area to reduce vehicle trips and parking demand.”
Majority feedback from the joint City Council and Planning Commission meeting supported the idea that very few off-street parking spaces exist in Downtown Lomita, and therefore, the overall impact to existing parking given the recommended action will be minimal. The removal of parking restrictions in Downtown Lomita is expected to stimulate redevelopment of underutilized/ underperforming commercial buildings.
Zoning Text Amendment
Staff recommends adoption of the amended language below to allow commercial businesses to occupy existing commercial spaces that were built prior to the City’s incorporation in 1964 without having to provide more parking spaces than currently provided. This will help attract businesses that are more consistent with a walkablefriendly downtown, such as restaurants and gathering places.
Sec. 11-1.66.03. - Downtown Commercial and Neighborhood Commercial zoned properties abutting Narbonne Avenue exemption.
(A) Applicability. The exemptions in subsection (B) apply to any Downtown Commercial (DC) zoned properties, and Neighborhood Commercial (NC) zoned properties abutting Narbonne Avenue, with primary commercial buildings built prior to June 30, 1964, unless:
Tuesday, May 05, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *130
3 (1) Improvements that have taken place since June 30, 1964 to a building occupied by the primary use of the lot exceeding the provisions in sections 11-1.70.17(E), (F), and (G) of this code; or
(2) Any additions to these buildings or structures or any outdoor expansion of use, except to permit outdoor seating for restaurants in an area that does not reduce required parking spaces or adversely affect circulation. Parking requirements in Sec. 11-1.66.04 apply to any additions or expansion. (B) General requirements.
(1) Applicable properties are not required to meet the minimum parking requirements in Article 66, but are rather required to maintain the existing lawfully established parking spaces. If any parking spaces were unlawfully removed, these spaces are required to be reinstated.
(2) Applicable properties are authorized to preserve existing parking spaces and circulation and can be occupied by permitted or conditionally permitted uses without having to add any new parking spaces.
Staff also researched other nearby cities and adjusted the parking provisions for other land uses. In general, the City’s parking provisions are similar to other surrounding cities and, therefore, only minor changes and a few new uses are included in the proposed zoning text amendment. LMC Section 11-1.66.11 (Approval Provisions) is also proposed to be revised mainly to transfer the findings for parking space reductions for senior citizen and multi-family housing development. These findings are currently in LMC Section 11-
1.30.14(B)(3) under senior citizen housing and multi-family housing development standards. Concurrently, staff is processing a separate code update to revise LMC Section 11.1.30.14(B)(3), which would remove the findings from this code section.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Division finds that adoption of this Zoning Text Amendment is not subject to CEQA pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly. Alternatively, the adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15061(b)(3).)

1 TO: City Council
FROM: Andrew Vialpando, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Lina Hernandez, Assistant City Manager
MEETING DATE: May 5, 2026
SUBJECT: Discussion and Consideration of an Ordinance Amending the City of Lomita Municipal Code to Revise Regulations for Illegal Dumping Violations
RECOMMENDED ACTION
After conducting a public hearing and after the City Attorney reads the Ordinance by title only, introduce on first reading an ordinance amending and adding sections to the Lomita Municipal Code related to illegal dumping, waive further reading, and schedule the ordinance for second reading and adoption at a subsequent City Council meeting.
BACKGROUND
The Lomita Municipal Code (LMC) codes prohibits any person from depositing, dumping, or discarding garbage, debris, or refuse, or other offensive materials on any public or private property, street, or roadway within the City of Lomita. The applicable provision is set forth below:
Sec. 4-1.08. - Illegal dumping.
No person shall place, deposit, throw or dump, or cause to be placed, deposited, thrown or dumped, any garbage, swill, cans, bottles, papers, ashes, dirt, sand, rock, cement, glass, metal, carcass of any dead animal, offal, refuse, plants, cuttings, or trash, or rubbish of any nature whatsoever, or any nauseous, offensive matter in or upon any public or private road, highway, street, alley, public way, or any public or private property of any kind whatsoever.
To assist residents and reduce illegal dumping, the City’s agreement with its solid waste hauler provides free bulky item collection services. Single family residential customers
CITY OF LOMITA
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 9b
Tuesday, May 05, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *161
2 with curbside collection service are eligible to receive up to four free, on-call bulky item pickups per calendar year, with a maximum of six items per pickup that cannot be accommodated in the automated containers. Bulky items include, but are not limited to, refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers, hot water heaters, electronics, mattresses, furniture, and bundled yard trimmings.
Multi-family customers are eligible for one free on-call pick-up for bulky items per calendar year, with up to six items per pickup, that cannot be accommodated in the automated containers. Bulky items are collected on the residents’ regular collection day and residents must contact Athens Services by phone or submit a request online at least one day prior to their scheduled collection day to arrange for pickup.
Current administrative citations for illegal dumping are issued in accordance with LMC §1-5.04 (Administrative Citation Procedures), with fines of $100 for a first offense, $200 for a second offense, and $500 for each additional offense within a 12-month period.
Violations may be cited pursuant to LMC § 4-1.08.”
DISCUSSION
The City has experienced a noticeable increase in illegally dumped bulky items throughout the community. Mattresses, furniture, appliances, and other large household items are frequently left in parkways, alleys, and on both public and private property. This trend has resulted in visual blight, potential health and safety hazards, and increased demand on City resources.
Public Works crews have been directed by the City Manager to respond regularly to collect and dispose of these illegally dumped items. Currently, collected materials are placed in a designated bin that is serviced by Athens Services twice per week to keep pace with the volume of debris. Despite these efforts, the frequency and scale of illegal dumping continue to strain staff time and operational resources. As of the writing of this report, nearly 34 tons of illegally dumped items have been collected since January 26, 2026.
Code Enforcement staff have also been actively monitoring and compiling lists of illegal dumped items observed throughout the City. Athens Services has advised that most of the City reported items do not have corresponding bulky item work orders, indicating that most materials are illegally dumped.
Enforcement presents additional challenges. Code Enforcement investigations are often time-consuming and difficult, as illegally dumped items rarely contain identifying information, and violations typically occur without witnesses. As a result, identifying and citing responsible parties can be problematic, limiting the effectiveness of existing penalties as a deterrent.
Administrative Fines and Reward Program
Tuesday, May 05, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *162
3 It is recommended that administrative fines for illegal dumping violations be increased and that the City Council establish a reward program to incentivize tips leading to the identification and citation of individuals responsible for illegal dumping. Together, enhanced penalties and community reporting incentives may provide more effective tools to address the growing problem and reduce associated impacts on City resources.
Illegal dumping in California is a serious offense under Penal Code 374.3, with fines ranging from $250 to $10,000 depending on frequency and scale and may include vehicle impoundment. Based on staff’s review of comparable agencies, to strengthen deterrence and promote compliance, the City may consider enhanced penalties and community reporting incentives to provide more effective tools to address the growing problem and reduce the associated impacts on City resources.
The proposed ordinance attached includes three key amendments to strengthen Lomita’s enforcement framework.
1. Increased Administrative Fines – The ordinance would establish tiered fines of $250 for a first violation, $500 for a second violation, and $1,000 for a third and each subsequent violation for illegal dumping related offenses within the first year of the first violation.
2. Illegal Dumping Reporting Reward Program – The ordinance would authorize the establishment of a reward programs for tips leading to the arrest and prosecution of individuals responsible for illegal dumping. The program could be structured similarly to the City’s existing Graffiti Reward Program, offering a reward of $500. Illegal dumping can be reported through the City’s app Lomita Connect.
3. Social Host Accountability Provision – The ordinance would add a Social Host provision holding property owners, tenants, business operators, or other persons in control of real property administratively accountable for illegal dumping occurring on property they own, lease, manage, or control, when they knowingly permit such activity or fail to take reasonable and timely corrective action after receiving notice of recurring violations. Repeated illegal dumping incidents may be deemed a public nuisance and subject to escalating administrative penalties and cost recovery measures. The provision would be subject to appropriate legal safeguards and due process requirements.
Public Education and Outreach
The City will continue to educate the community through our regular public outreach channels to discourage illegal dumping and promote responsible waste disposal practices. Outreach efforts will include social media campaigns, the City’s website and enewsletters, community events, and coordination with neighborhood groups to raise awareness of reporting tools, available bulky item disposal services, and applicable penalties. These ongoing education and prevention efforts are intended to complement Tuesday, May 05, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *163
4 enhanced enforcement measures and foster community partnership in maintaining a clean and safe environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
Any fines recovered by the City for illegal dumping would offset staff time and operational resources required to address these incidents. Revenues generated from these fines are unknown.
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.
