• Critical incident management
• Investigative support
• Situational awareness during large-scale community events By providing aerial perspectives in real time, the program enhances operational efficiency while reducing risk to personnel.

The UAS Drone Program will be operated exclusively by Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Lomita Station personnel. All deputies assigned to the program will be trained and certified by the FAA in accordance with federal regulations and LASD policies to ensure safe and compliant operations. Liability and insurance associated with the use of the UAS will be solely managed and assumed by LASD, ensuring that participating cities are not directly responsible for operational risk.

The cost for the equipment is $76,000, and includes the following:
• DJI Matrice 400: One (1) long-range drone for larger scale incidents and special events (stationed at Lomita Sheriff’s Station).
• DJI Matrice 4: Two (2) daily-use drones for routine calls for service (in a trained deputy vehicle).
• One (1) interior drone for critical incidents (i.e. barricaded suspects or unsafe structures and stationed at Lomita Sheriff’s Station).
• A two-year warranty for each drone from the date of product shipment covering:

Accidental damage from pilot error, collisions, drops, water exposure, signal interference, and internal malfunctions.
• One replacement drone during the coverage term that may be new or refurbished.

Drone Capabilities Include:
• High-resolution zoom cameras and video capture
• Thermal imaging for low-visibility and search operations • Floodlights and spotlights
• Loudspeakers for communication
• LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) for mapping and distance measurement First-Year Cost-Share Allocation
The cost-share allocation between the Station Cities will be based on population for the first year of operation. At the end of the first year, the Station Cities will review the calls for service and determine an updated cost-share allocation based on usage.

Memorandum of Understanding
The Cities of Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates, and Rancho Palos Verdes have already approved the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) authorizing their share of the Drone Program. The established MOU between those three cities outlines the Lomita Sheriff’s Station responsibility for equipment, program management, liability, and operational oversight and equipment procurement.

As mentioned above, the MOU and cost-sharing structure will be reviewed annually and may be adjusted based on actual program usage and data provided by Lomita Sheriff’s Station to ensure equitable cost distribution and program efficiency.

In addition to the initial one-time cost outlined in the MOU, each of the Station Cities would be responsible for ongoing annual cost associated with equipment maintenance, repair, and replacement. These costs are estimated at up to 10% of the initial UAS equipment cost annually and would be funded proportionally by each city if needed.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City’s share of the Drone Program is a one-time cost of $21,280. This amount is included in the FY 2026-27 Adopted Budget.

VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES

A. CONTRACTOR, at CONTRACTOR’s own cost and expense, shall procure and maintain, for the duration of the contract, the following insurance policies:

1. Workers Compensation Insurance as required by law. CONTRACTOR shall require all subcontractors similarly to provide such compensation insurance for their respective employees. Any notice of cancellation or non-renewal of all Workers’ Compensation policies must be received by CITY at least thirty (30) days prior to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against CITY, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by CONTRACTOR for CITY.

2. General Liability Coverage. CONTRACTOR shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. If a commercial general liability insurance form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit.

3. Automobile Liability Coverage. CONTRACTOR shall maintain automobile liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of CONTRACTOR arising out of or in connection with the work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles, in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit for each occurrence.

4. Professional Liability Coverage. CONTRACTOR shall maintain professional errors and omissions liability insurance for protection against claims alleging negligent acts, errors, or omissions which may arise from CONTRACTOR’S operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by CONTRACTOR or by its employees, subcontractors, or subcontractors. The amount of this insurance shall not be less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) on a claims-made annual aggregate basis, or a combined single-limit-per-occurrence basis. When coverage is provided on a “claims made basis,” CONTRACTOR will continue to renew the insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated.

Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will cover Tuesday, June 16, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *197

Page 6 of 11 ends

CONTRACTOR for all claims made by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions of CONTRACTOR, or its officers, employees or agents during the time this Agreement was in effect.

B. Endorsements. Each general liability, automobile liability and professional liability insurance policy shall be issued by a financially responsible insurance company or companies admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California, or which is approved in writing by CITY, and shall be endorsed as follows. CONTRACTOR also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.

1. “The CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the CONTRACTOR, including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.”

2. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.

Any insurance maintained by CITY, including any self-insured retention CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with this policy.

3. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.

4. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, or agents.

5. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers.

6. The insurance provided by this policy shall not be suspended, voided, canceled, or reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days’ written notice has been received by CITY.

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.

Tuesday, June 16, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *198

Page 7 of 11 ends

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 11 above.

G. The commercial general and automobile liability policies required by this Agreement shall allow CITY, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention (“SIR”) and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the 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.

H. City shall provide CONTRACTOR with a certificate of insurance evidencing insurance coverage maintained by CITY in amounts of less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and five million dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate. Such certificate shall name CONTRACTOR as additional insured with respect to liability arising out of CITY’s performance under this Agreement.

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, June 16, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *199

Page 8 of 11 ends

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.

23. NOTICES. All communications to either party by the other party will be deemed made when received by such party at its respective name and address as follows:

1 TO: City Council
FROM: Trevor Rusin, City Attorney
PREPARED BY: Trevor Rusin, City Attorney
MEETING DATE: June 16, 2026
SUBJECT: Discussion and Consideration of a Resolution approving Amendment No. 2 to the City Manager Employment Agreement

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving Amendment No. 2 to the May 1, 2024, City Manager Employment Agreement.

BACKGROUND
The City Council recently conducted a performance evaluation with the City Manager. Following the evaluation, the Council met with its labor negotiator (City Attorney Trevor Rusin) to discuss the terms of the City Manager’s contract, which was originally entered into on May 1, 2024, and amended on June 3, 2025. Paragraph 4 of the Agreement contemplates annual performance reviews of the City Manager and reserves to the City Council sole discretion as to any merit increases or cost of living adjustments to his salary.

DISCUSSION
Over the past year, the Council has appreciated the strong work and accomplishments of Mr. Vialpando. In particular, the Council has noted the strong team he has assembled, (including the creation of the Community Safety Division), physical infrastructure improvements that directly benefit the residents (e.g. the Zone G and Narbonne street projects, and the upcoming reopening of the Cypress Water Facility), significant overhauls and updates to the City’s zoning code and general plan, and upcoming improvements in the City’s parks (e.g. the upcoming transfer of the Red Car to supplement the Railroad Museum and the work put in towards acquiring the Navy Fields property—which would approximately double the City’s parkland). Mr. Vialpando has also implemented organizational enhancements to the City’s workforce that have resulted in operational

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Item No. 8c
Tuesday, June 16, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *206
2 efficiencies and savings to the City.

The terms in the attached proposed Amendment No. 2 to the City Manager Employment Agreement between the City and Andrew Vialpando reflect the City Council’s proposal, which Mr. Vialpando indicates are acceptable to him. He has signed the agreement and, if approved by the Council, it will take effect immediately. The attached amendment would retain all the terms and conditions of the current agreement, as amended previously, with the following exceptions that (1) raise Vialpando’s annual salary from $250,000 to $262,500 (a 5% raise), and (2) award Vialpando a one-time discretionary bonus of $10,096.15. (reflecting the value of one pay period under his current contract) in reflection of the quality of his work and administrative costs borne by Mr. Vialpando. :

1. Section 4 Salary is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

Effective as of May 1, 2026, City agrees to pay Vialpando for his services rendered pursuant to this Agreement an annual salary of two-hundred sixty-two thousand fivehundred dollars ($262,500), payable in installments on the City's regular paydays. In addition, Vialpando shall receive a one-time discretionary bonus in the amount of $10,096.15 on the City’s next regular payday. City will consider additional potential increases (including COLAs) based on performance, comparative salaries, and the finances of the City.

Mr. Vialpando’s Agreement does not include a COLA adjustment to his salary. The new salary is comparable to that paid to city managers in similar jurisdictions. The new salary is a reflection of both a cost-of-living adjustment, and of the quality of Mr. Vialpando’s work and dedication to the City, and is to take effect on his one year anniversary (May 1, 2026).

FISCAL IMPACT
The Salary amendment results in an increase of $12,500 per year. The $10,096.15. onetime discretionary bonus is offset by the funds appropriated in the approved employee retirement benefits for the City Manager position. There are sufficient funds for the proposed amendments in the FY 26-27 Adopted Budget.

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. 6: High Performing Organization – Strengthening City services through innovation and excellence.

PREPARED BY: Lina Hernandez, Assistant City Manager
MEETING DATE: June 16, 2026
SUBJECT: Grant Agreement with the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD) for Planning and Design of the Future Lomita Sports and Community Center

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a grant agreement with Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD) in the amount of $500,000 for planning and design related to the future Lomita Sports and Community Center project.

BACKGROUND
The City of Lomita continues to advance efforts related to the future Lomita Sports Center project, envisioned as a long-term community investment that would expand recreational opportunities, improve public amenities, and enhance quality of life for residents. The proposed project area represents a significant opportunity to create active recreational space and community-serving facilities for youth, families, and residents of all ages.

To support the next phase of project development, the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD) has awarded the City a grant in the amount of $500,000 for planning and design services associated with the project. The grant funding will support comprehensive pre-construction planning efforts necessary to advance the project from initial conceptual planning through preparation of bid-ready construction documents.

DISCUSSION
The proposed grant agreement will provide funding for a broad range of professional planning and design services associated with the future Lomita Sports Center project.

The scope of work includes conceptual design development, engineering and architectural services, preparation of plans and specifications, and development of an

2 engineer’s cost estimate suitable for future construction bidding purposes.

In addition, the grant will support community outreach and engagement activities to ensure meaningful public participation throughout the planning and design process.

Outreach efforts may include community meetings, stakeholder engagement, surveys, presentations before City commissions and the City Council, and other public engagement opportunities intended to help shape the future vision of the project.

The agreement also includes pre-construction support services intended to assist the City in preparing the project for future implementation, grant opportunities, and potential construction phases. Completion of these planning and design efforts will position the City to pursue additional funding opportunities and advance the project toward eventual construction.

The proposed agreement is consistent with the City Council’s ongoing commitment to expanding recreational opportunities, improving community amenities, and investing in long-term public infrastructure projects that benefit the Lomita community.

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed agreement provides $500,000 in grant funding from the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District for eligible planning and design activities associated with the future Lomita Sports Center project. Acceptance of the grant will offset project development costs that would otherwise need to be funded through City resources or other external funding sources. Staff will return to the City Council for approval of any future agreements or budget appropriations associated with subsequent phases of the project, if necessary.

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.

Measure A Deliverables
The following deliverables will result from completion of the planning Project:
-Shovel-ready design package;
-Complete and final construction schedule and budget;
-Project scope that aligns with the community vision; and -CEQA documentation.

Alignment with Measure A
The Project area is considered extremely park-poor, with zero parks total area and zero parks per 1,000 people according to California State Parks' Community FactFinder. The Plan will lead to a Measure-A eligible, shovel-ready project aligned with the goals of Category 4 by serving a broad cross-jurisdictional area.

Developing this park will increase the City's per-capita parks acreage by 50%.

The City anticipates residents throughout Los Angeles County to utilize the many sports fields and amenities included at the Lomita Sports & Community Center. 4500-character limit

Describe how funding the proposed
work will make the project more
competitive for Measure A development
funds or other capital funding in the
future?
The proposed work will result in a Plan that is bid-ready for construction, making the project more competitive for Measure A development funds as well as other capital funding opportunities. The Plan will include several components that will increase competitiveness for future grant funding, such as robust community engagement, completion of environmental documents, and a comprehensive site assessment. The community engagement will develop the vision for the Lomita Sports & Community Center, ensuring that the final Plan reflects the community's needs and highest priorities. Having a Plan that deeply embodies the community's voice will make the project incredibly competitive for future rounds of Measure A funding as well as other local, state, and federal funding opportunities.

Additionally, completing all environmental documentation and a comprehensive site assessment with Measure A planning funds will ensure that any potential environmental or other constraints have been fully addressed prior to subsequent grant applications in support of the construction phase. The completion of this Plan will ensure, to the greatest extent possible, that the construction phase of the Lomita Sports & Community Center can commence as soon as funding is obtained with no fear of delays.

The Measure A-funded Plan will produce construction-ready documents, making the project shovel-ready within 24 months. By having a Plan in hand that allows for near-immediate implementation, the City will be well positioned to secure additional grant funding to complete construction of the Lomita Sports & Community Center.

What community engagement has
occurred for this project to date?
Describe methods, number and type of
participants, and how prior input has
informed the project.

The City has completed community engagement for the Lomita Sports & Community Center as it related to the General Plan Update (Visioning Outreach Summary Report, Summer 2023). As part of this General Plan Update, the City initiated a multifaceted and comprehensive community engagement program.

This outreach included a series of Visioning Workshops in which more than 100 residents attended three workshops. An Online Survey was also initiated as part of the public engagement process and received more than 160 responses.

To date, there has been no community engagement completed specific to this project. Community engagement will be a large component of the Plan to ensure the Lomita Sports & Community Center, the only park in southern Lomita that will serve adults and youth athletes from throughout the region, is reflective of the community that it will serve.

Community Outreach Upload: Prior
support documents may be submitted 50MB file size limit What community engagement will occur
as part of this grant? The Plan will include a comprehensive community engagement process, led primarily by the City's consultant and supported by City staff. Given the region's large Spanish-speaking population, community engagement will take place in both English and Spanish, with all printed materials available in both languages.

The City's community engagement strategy will prioritize outreach to vulnerable populations, youth, and individuals with limited English proficiency to ensure their full participation. Planned community engagement components include:
-Workshops (in-person). No fewer than three (3) in-person workshops will be scheduled to provide community members with the opportunity to visualize park improvements, register their opinions, and provide feedback. These workshops will be held at convenient days, times, and locations to ensure a wide range of individuals are able to participate. Refreshments will be provided. -Survey (online). As part of the Plan, an online survey will be created for distribution among the community. The target is to have at least 150 responses to the survey before site plans are finalized. The survey will be advertised on the City's official website and social media pages as well as through print media (e.g., fliers, mailers). The City will execute an awareness campaign that goes hand in hand with the survey, informing residents of the Plan's progress and encouraging their participation in the survey.
-Pop-up Events. Engagement efforts will be conducted through multiple highattendance events, including Founder's Day and the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony. These events provide ideal opportunities to reach a broad and diverse cross-section of residents at their convenience. There will be at least two (2) such Tuesday, June 16, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *241
pop-up events in which City staff will connect with residents, inform them of the Plan, seek feedback, and encourage their completion of the online survey. -Public Comment. The City will also allow for public comment to be recorded.

Both the draft Plan and final Plan will be presented to the City Council, and at each of these events community members will have the opportunity to provide feedback and record their comments. This public comment opportunity will be widely advertised on the City's official website and social media pages.

To ensure regional and local feedback, engagement activities will be offered across multiple locations and communication channels to maximize accessibility and participation. For example, the City will host at least two engagement events at the project location to capture the feedback of current users of the ballfields, which includes adult and youth athletes from throughout the region. Additionally, the City will engage potential users throughout the region via online outreach.

Including pop-ups at several City events will also capture regional feedback, as many residents from neighboring cities also partake in these events such as the annual Founder's Day, the annual Tree Lighting, Health for all Ages Fair, Memorial Day Ceremony, and Movies Under the Stars. Additional partners may be identified throughout the grant period to assist in distribution of printed informational material, such as Los Angeles Unified School District and the South Bay Cities Council of Governments.

(Name and describe role(s))
Kiwanis Club: The Lomita-Harbor City Kiwanis Club will conduct outreach among its youth members and their families to ensure they are aware of and have the opportunity to participate in public engagement. Kiwanis Club leaders will also provide insightful feedback to the City regarding the Plan and how it can best serve the Kiwanis Club audience.

Boys & Girls Club: The local Boys & Girls Club will be an integral partner in community engagement, helping to increase awareness of the public engagement opportunities and encouraging participation by their members, partners, and benefitting families. The Boys & Girls Club has a strong appreciation for the importance of recreation and community activities in the healthy development of youth, and thus their feedback and participation will ensure the Plan is reflective of the needs of the City's youth.

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department: The local station of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department will be involved in the planning process to ensure public safety is considered during site analysis and Plan development.

Lomita Chamber of Commerce: The Lomita Chamber of Commerce will be involved in Plan development to provide professional feedback and advice on how the Plan can benefit local businesses and grow the local economy. This will likely include a focus group that includes the Chamber and members to ensure the Plan appropriately accommodates and allows for business growth related to the development of the Complex.

Los Angeles Unified School District: The City will engage with the Los Angeles Unified School District to ensure that the Plan is responsive to the needs and priorities of school-aged children, including those attending nearby Eshelman Elementary.

Describe your past experience
delivering similar planning or technical
projects funded by public grants.

In recent years, the City completed the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and a Citywide School Loading Zone Study, both of which were funded by public grants.

For both projects, an external consultant was employed to complete the plan and present it to City Council for approval.

The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) was funded by the CalOES/FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) in 2023. The City was awarded $72,680 to complete the updated LHMP. The LHMP update was initiated in 2024 and the final draft was submitted to the City Council for review and comment in September 2025. The approved final draft will then be submitted to CalOES/FEMA for approval at the end of 2025 or beginning of 2026.

The Citywide School Loading Zone Study was funded by Caltrans' Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant in 2023. This Study serves as a roadmap for the City and its partnering entities to improve safety for students and caregivers walking and biking to school. Finalizing the study involved substantial community engagement with various agencies, school communities, and individual residents where bilingual outreach was utilized. The City obtained the services of a qualified subject matter consultant to facilitate and implement the Study.

For both of these grant-funded applications, all reporting requirements were met in a timely manner and projects were completed within budget. 4500-character limit

If not, will the project meaningfully
benefit High/Very High Need residents?
Explain, include partnerships, visitation
patterns, outreach strategies).

The Project will meaningfully benefit regional residents that reside in both High and Very High Need Study Areas. With limited parkland and open recreational space, the City faces significant constraints in providing equitable access to quality sports and recreation facilities. One of the City?s most utilized sites is the Lomita Little League Complex, located on land leased from the U.S. Navy (and hence referred to as the Navy Fields) and the project area for the envisioned Lomita Sports & Community Center. However, the aging condition of the facility limits its capacity to safely serve youth and community sports programs, and the park is not ADA-compliant. The fields have three baseball fields only, with very few working amenities (e.g., water fountains, restrooms) and several dilapidated buildings. Without investment, the fields will fall into complete disrepair in the near future. With Measure A funding, the City is committed to improving the project area in order to preserve the site as a public park, sports complex, and community area indefinitely. While the current fields only accommodate baseball and are used by the Lomita Little League (which hosts games against little leagues from South Bay cities), the goal of the Plan and subsequent construction is to expand its usability to accommodate a wider range of inclusive, multigenerational, and community-based programs.

According to the California State Parks? Community FactFinder Tool, the project area is considered to be extremely park-poor, with 0.00 parks in the total area and 0.00 park acres per 1,000 people. Additionally, the census tract that contains the park (census tract 6037980015) has a pollution burden in the 96th percentile.

Touching the park?s northeastern boundary is census tract 6037294421 which is in the Disadvantaged Community Category (Top 25%) per CalEnviroScreen 4.0 and with a per capita income of just $22,700 per the California Healthy Places Index. There are an additional 10 census tracts that are listed in the CalEnviroScreen 4.0 Top 25% within three miles of the park. With the development of the project area, the City will increase its public park space by 50%, addressing a critical need in this area that is extremely park-poor. Clearly, the Plan and subsequent Lomita Sports & Community Center will benefit multiple cities and communities within the Los Angeles County region, many of which are severely disadvantaged.

PROFILE OF LOMITA
The City of Lomita is located 26 miles south of downtown Los Angeles and is bounded by the City of Torrance on the north and west, the City of Los Angeles to the east, and the City of Rolling Hills Estates on the southwest. Southeast of Lomita is the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and unincorporated County land. The City’s total land area is 1,196.8 acres or 1.97 square miles.

The City of Lomita “began” as a residential tract (Lomita Subdivision) in the early 1900s. In 1907, the Lomita Subdivision covered seven square miles. As the lots were sold, water wells, a school, a general store (with a post office), and other businesses soon followed. In 1909, churches were built and in 1920, the Bank of Lomita was established.

In 1923, oil in the area was discovered while drilling for water. The resulting “oil boom” in the area led to the conversion of residential lots into oil fields. Rapid growth occurred in the Lomita area, as egg ranches, fruit orchards and agricultural uses formed the community. Lomita became a center for the agriculture and oil extraction activities in the South Bay area.

In the 1940s and 1950s, portions of the Lomita Subdivision were annexed by adjacent cities.

By 1964, only 1.97 square miles of the Lomita Subdivision remained when the City of Lomita finally incorporated. Lomita is a contract City with a Council-Manager form of government. The City Council is elected at large to four-year terms. The Mayor is selected by the City Council for a one-year term.

Today, the City is almost completely developed, and the remaining vacant land is limited to scattered parcels. Existing development in the City is characterized by residential neighborhoods at varying densities, with commercial uses concentrated along Pacific Coast Highway, Lomita Boulevard, Crenshaw Boulevard, Narbonne Avenue and Western Avenue.

The Lomita Railroad Museum is the only one of its kind west of Denver, Colorado, and was made possible through the generosity of Mrs. Irene Lewis who donated the museum to the City in honor of her late husband. Complete authenticity is the hallmark of the museum that is dedicated to the proud era of the steam engine.

In 1990 the City took over Water District 13 from the County of Los Angeles and has been successfully operating its own water department ever since. 3 Tuesday, June 16, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *254

GUIDE

BUDGET USER’S GUIDE
The Lomita City Council adopts the Annual Budget by formal resolution, prior to July 1st of each year. The budget serves as a financial plan for the City which identifies the projected allocation and application of resources over the budget cycle.

The Annual Budget is designed to present summary information about the City’s financial plans for the year in a user-friendly format. The Budget is organized by department, and the programs within the departments. Expenditures are displayed and subtotaled by type:
• Salaries & Benefits
• Operating Expenditures
• Capital Outlay.

The Budget Summary illustrates the fund(s) to which a program allocates its expenditures.

The Annual Budget also includes the following sections:

Introduction Section: Includes the Table of Contents, List of City Officials, City Organization Chart, Profile of Lomita, and Facts & Figures About Lomita.

City of Lomita Budget User’s Guide: Includes overview of Annual Budget, detailing citywide revenues, expenditures, and fund balances.

Operating Budgets: Includes program budgets by department, with narratives highlighting the prior year accomplishments, explaining the function of the program, uses and sources of funds, line-item detail, budget comment worksheets, and department salary expense worksheets.

Appendix: Includes Revenue Fund Definitions and Authorized Uses, Glossary of Terms, and Acronyms List.

BUDGET PROCESS
The City’s budget process begins with the distribution of a Budget Preparation manual, which contains:
• Budget Schedule
• Current Organization Chart
• Accomplishments (prior year document) for updating
• Revenue Worksheets
• Expenditure Worksheets
• Capital Improvement Program Worksheets
• Budget Comment Worksheets
Line-item budget development is accomplished through the City’s financial system, which allows each department to build its budget using computerized worksheets. The individual departments are directly responsible for developing the Materials & Supplies line items and part-time employees’ salaries. The remaining Salary & Benefit information is calculated and entered by the Administrative Services Department.
6 Tuesday, June 16, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *257
BUDGET USER’S GUIDE
All supplemental budget requests (new personnel, service, or equipment) are presented on separate forms and are subject to City Manager review and approval before becoming part of the operating budget. All proposed budget information is compiled, printed, and distributed to the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and the Department Directors. The revenue estimates are reviewed with the department budget requests to determine available funding levels for the fiscal year. The City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and Administrative Services Director then meet with the departments to review the operating and supplemental budget requests.

Once the budget data has been reviewed and all changes have been made by the Administrative Services Department, a Proposed Budget is prepared. After final review and approval by the City Manager and Assistant City Manager, the Proposed Budget is presented to the City Council at a scheduled Budget Study Session. Prior to June 30, a Public Hearing is held by the City Council, and the Annual Budget is adopted by resolution.

During the fiscal year, the budget can be amended as necessary to meet the City’s needs. The City Council has the legal authority to amend the budget at any time. Department Directors may only authorize expenditures based on appropriations previously approved by City Council action, and only from accounts under their organizational responsibility. Actual expenditures may exceed budget appropriations by line-item but may not exceed the department’s budget.

The City Manager has the authority to approve interdepartmental appropriation transfers as long as they are within the same fund. Interfund transfers require a budget amendment by the City Council.

BASIC ACCOUNTING
City of Lomita’s accounting system is maintained on a fund basis, in accordance with governmental accounting standards. Each of the City’s twenty-eight funds is considered a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts that records assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures. Funds are established and segregated for the purpose of recording specific programs or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations.

Funds are classified into one of three categories: governmental (general, special revenue, debt service, and capital projects), proprietary (enterprise and internal service), and fiduciary (trust and agency). Governmental funds account for activities usually associated with a typical state or local government’s operation. Proprietary funds are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the intent is to recover the costs of providing goods and services from user charges. Fiduciary funds are utilized in situations where the government is acting in a fiduciary capacity as a trustee or an agent.

All governmental funds are budgeted and accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting, which recognizes revenues when they become susceptible to accrual, i.e., measurable, and available. Available means collectible in the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. Examples of such revenues include property tax, sales tax, and interest earnings. Expenditures are recognized when the fund liability is incurred.

CITY HALL OFFICES • 24300 NARBONNE AVENUE, LOMITA • CALIFORNIA 90717 (310) 325-7110 • FAX (310) 325-4024 • www.lomitacity.com June 16, 2026
Subject: City Manager’s Budget Message for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Dear Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Residents of Lomita:

It is my pleasure to submit to you the City of Lomita’s Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Operating and Capital Improvement Budget for your consideration and adoption. The City Council is committed to setting a high standard for service delivery, and this budget reflects the goals and vision established by the City Council at its last Strategic Planning Session. I am proud of our organization and its dedicated staff who serve this community with unwavering resilience and compassion to carry Lomita forward. The Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget builds on the many lessons learned from challenging times and sets lofty goals for the Lomita team to accomplish. I look forward to working with each of you, and our small but mighty staff, to carry out your vision with the utmost prudency and fiduciary responsibility.

The Annual Budget enables the City to better plan for revenues and expenditures over the intermediate term and provides the public with a clear plan for investments in the community for the next fiscal year. The Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget is balanced without the use of any carryover funds, and benefits from additional revenues committed through the approval of Measure L while representing a total investment of more than $21 Million over the next year into the Lomita community.

While the budget plan reflects significant investments in the future of the community, we remain prepared for potential upcoming challenges while prudently monitoring the balancing of revenues and expenditures. As costs continue to outpace revenues statewide, the City Council took the calculated step to add a ¼ cent sales tax ballot measure to the June 2, 2025 Special Municipal Election. With 50% plus one of residents voting in favor of Measure LW, Lomita made the monumental decision to ensure approximately $650,000 in ongoing revenue is directed and spent only in Lomita.

Moreover, the City Council’s sound policymaking and vision enabled the City to make strategic investments to core services and programs that create opportunities for residents and business to thrive, despite cost increases outpacing revenues. The City Council’s commitment to fiscal prudence and modernization of our revenue structure will keep us on the road of long-range stability.

Keeping Lomita a safe community to live, work, and play remains the City’s top priority. Specifically, public safety and investment in infrastructure were the top priorities of Lomita residents when asked in the community survey, “Let’s Talk Lomita.” Similar to the previous Budget, priority is given to the services that maintain the exceptional quality of life in Lomita, such as comprehensive public safety resources and programs for emergency response, supporting seniors, and safe and reliable infrastructure. Among the notable investments featured in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget is the 13 Tuesday, June 16, 2026 Reg CC MTG, Page *264
CITY HALL OFFICES • 24300 NARBONNE AVENUE, LOMITA • CALIFORNIA 90717 (310) 325-7110 • FAX (310) 325-4024 • www.lomitacity.com expected completion of the Lomita Water System’s granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration upgrades at the City’s Cypress Water Production Facility, which will ensure Lomita is served safe and healthy drinking water for many years. Additional public safety and traffic safety efforts are also included with additional patrol deputies through our partnership with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

The City operates with 35 governmental funds, including the General Fund (and its miscellaneous fund components), Special Revenue funds, Capital Project funds, and Internal Service funds. The City’s General Fund comprises approximately 46% of the total revenue and 42% of the total expenditures for the City in the Budget, accounting for the majority of the City’s fiscal operation.

The General Fund is the City’s primary source of funding for general City operations and is the fund most directly available for appropriation by the City Council. For this reason, it is the focus of this letter, though all funds are accounted for in the proposed budget.

Two Enterprise funds (Water Operations and Water Capital) contribute to approximately 35% of the City’s overall revenue stream and make up 32% of its total expenditures and are intended to be self-supporting.

Overall revenues are projected to increase by almost $14 million. Within the City’s General Fund, the primary funding source for government-wide obligations, revenues are projected to be $17,602,287 for Fiscal Year 2026-27, and with planned expenditures of $17,602,287. The overall budget has been balanced without the use of the City’s Reserves or transfers from other funds.

Below is an overview of the major General Fund revenue sources and expenditures with comparisons to previous years:

General Fund Overview of Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget
The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. All general tax revenues and other receipts that are not allocated by law or contractual agreement to some other funds are accounted for in this fund. Expenditures of this fund include the general operating expenses which are not paid through other funds.

Although the economy has continued to pull itself out of the pandemic-induced recession, City staff is monitoring indications that the economy may be on a pre-recessionary path due to high inflation, shortages, and other economic indicators. In light of this, the revenue projections included in the budget continue to be conservative, and reflective of the uncertainty related to the economic recovery. A more detailed account is described below.

General Fund Revenues
General fund revenues for FY 2026-27 are projected at $17,602,287, an increase of $342,101 from FY 2025-26 Amended Adopted Budget.

Some of the most significant year-to-year changes in funding for FY 2026-27 is listed below:
• Sales tax revenue (Bradley-Burns and Measure L revenues combined) is projected at $5.5 million, a net increase of $270,314 from FY 2025-26 Amended Adopted Budget and represents 31% of total general fund revenues.

General Fund Expenditures
Preliminary projections for the coming years were developed in early 2026, but specific expenditure categories and programs were developed following the City Council’s Strategic Planning and Goal Setting sessions. The expenditures detailed below represent our efforts to drive those goals forward.

General fund expenditures for FY 2026-27 are projected at $17,602,287 – an increase of $237,858 from FY 2025-26 Amended Adopted Budget. Adjustments to expenditures include augmenting our Public Safety and Traffic safety efforts, increasing our ongoing efforts to rebuild our streets, and building up our capacity to grow and prepare for the recovery and rebuilding of our State and local economies. They also include continued implementation of the General Plan Updates, technology, and digital infrastructure upgrades, and increasing the City’s voice in State and federal affairs - especially as it relates to local control.

Some of the major expenditure adjustments in the budget includes the following:
• Zone G Pipe Replacement Project.
• Doria/Woodward Street Reconstruction Project.
• South Bay Local Travel Network Project (SBCCOG Grant). • Citywide School Zone Improvements Project (SBCCOG Grant). • Programming resources to enhance our disaster recovery efforts, cybersecurity, and broadband infrastructure upgrades.

Summary Conclusions
The Fiscal Year 2026-27 Operating and Capital Improvement Budget keeps our organization moving forward and capitalizes on opportunities to grow and adjust.
