CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 18, 2025 ITEM NUMBER: 11B
To: Mayor Shelley Hasselbrink & Members of the City Council Presented By: Windmera Quintanar, City Clerk
Subject: Annual Update of the Records Management Program
SUMMARY
In October 2015, the City Council adopted the City-wide Records Management Program. Part of this Program included a day dedicated to records management and annual updates to the retention schedule. This item recommends changes to the policy to ensure continued success of the program.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution 2025-03, entitled, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF LOS ALAMITOS, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A RECORDS MANAGEMENT PROGRAM AND REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 2024-07 IN ITS ENTIRETY”.
BACKGROUND
Records management is the systematic control of the creation, acquisition, processing, use, protection, storage and final disposition of all recorded information required by the City to conduct its business effectively. It involves assembling and managing the correct information.
The primary concern is the efficient, effective, and economic management of information.
Records management is more than just retention schedules and destruction. It is the proper management of records through the entirety of their life cycles.
Part of the Records Management Policy states the City Clerk shall submit proposals for any scheduled amendments annually to the City Attorney and City Council for approval via a Council resolution.
DISCUSSION
The staff has actively identified records and purged obsolete records since the adoption of the program in 2015. Staff held its Annual Records Management Day on October 14, 2024. On Records Management Day, City Hall is closed to the public so that staff can focus solely on records. This is a detail-orientated, labor-intensive task, and the ability to fully focus on records management uninterrupted for one day has been well received.
In conjunction with Records Management Day, staff holds a free Community Paper Shredding event for the public. The public was allowed to bring up to four bankers' boxes of records to be shredded on-site. The event ran for three hours. There was not as much public participation as in previous years. This could be attributed to the addition of paper shredding to the Spring
Neighborhood clean-up held earlier in the year. Staff will continue to monitor the public's participation to ensure it's still a needed service.
The City Clerk’s Office made minor changes to formatting throughout the policy. Below is an outline of the material changes made. The City Clerk’s Office and City Attorney have reviewed the changes and required retention of all records and have found them to be within legal statutes.
City Clerk's Office
• Added a note that Laserfiche Imaging for Legislative Body Agendas began in 2015 Personnel
• Added Record Category for Workplace Violence as required by new legislation Police
• Added record series for Criminal Prosecution to Police Reports The annual review and adoption of the Records Management Policy ensures the continued use of an effective program that helps to increase Staff efficiency, properly allocate scarce resources, and ensure compliance with legal, administrative, and fiscal retention requirements.
It is important to note that the Retention Schedule is not an inventory of all records the City has, but a tool to use should the City need to use such records in the course of regular business.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no cost to continue the implementation of this policy.

Records Management Program
CC RESO 2025-03 – Exhibit A
• Each Department Records Coordinator is responsible for maintaining and controlling the disposition of records.
7. IDENTIFYING RECORDS
The simplest way to identify if material is a record is to consult the City’s Retention Schedule. If the material in question is identified on the schedule, records coordinators are obligated to maintain the record in accordance with the schedule. One of the most challenging aspects of records management can be determining if a document or media is a record when it is not identified on the schedule. If it is unclear if the material is a record or if it is clear that the material is a record, but is not included on the schedule the coordinator should contact the City’s Record Manager for additional assistance.
7.1 What is a Record?
Some records, because of their enduring administrative, fiscal, legal or historical value, should be permanently retained. These records require that special care and consideration be given to their storage conditions and enduring preservation. Examples of permanent records include meeting minutes from Brown Act governed bodies; resolutions, and ordinances.
Most records do not have values that warrant their permanent preservation.
Those records with short-term value should, upon reaching the end of the retention period, be destroyed.
Records are any writing or recording that contains information related to the conduct of the public's business prepared, owned, used, or retained by the City regardless of physical form or characteristics. "Regardless of physical form" means that video, audio files and data in a computer system used to conduct business are also records.
7.2 Non-Records
Even though records include a broad spectrum of recorded information, not all information held by the City is a record. Transitory Communications (routine correspondence not integrally related to City business) such as texts, instant messaging, and voice mail messages that are temporary or of a brief duration are not records. Additional guidelines for emails and use of personnel devices are covered in Administrative Regulation 7.1, Telecommunications Policy.
Non-records do not require retention scheduling or destruction authorization or reporting. To control excessive accumulation, it is necessary to keep only current, useful materials and to destroy non-records immediately after needs have been satisfied. Staff should take care not to file non-records with records.
Examples of non-records include the following materials:
• Identical copies of documents maintained in the same file • Blank forms
Records Management Program
CC RESO 2025-03 – Exhibit A
• Extra copies of printed or processed materials
• Superseded manuals and other directives (maintained outside the office of record)
• Routine messages not integral to City business of a brief duration such as texts, instant messaging, and voicemails
• Materials received from other agencies, people, or businesses that require no action
• Catalogs, trade journals and other publications or papers received from government agencies, commercial firms or private institutions that require no action and are not part of an action case record
8. STORAGE OF RECORDS
The City of Los Alamitos is committed to effective records management and appropriate utilization of City resources. Proper storage of records in all states of a record’s lifecycle, regardless of format, aids in the allocation of space and reduces liability and cost to the organization. City records should only be stored on approved devices and in appropriate storage locations.
8.1 Electronically
State laws generally preclude the destruction of a public record less than two years old unless the record has been reproduced in some manner, properly stored, and is available for public disclosure to the same extent as the original. Accordingly, the Electronic Media Imaging System (EMIS) shall be the official repository used to retain and store electronic copies of City records. Use of any other system or device to store electronic copies in lieu of an original, must be approved by the City clerk prior to destruction of the original record. No page of any record shall be destroyed f the page cannot be reproduced electronically with full legibility. Every irreproducible page she be preserved in a manner that shall afford easy reference for the retention period set forth in the retention scheduled. Every reproduction made pursuant to this section shall be deemed an original record.
8.1.1 EMIS Storage Medium
The City recognizes the EMIS as the official electronic repository of the City.
This system complies with requirements regarding electronic record storage as set forth in section 34090.5 of the California State Government Code.
Records stored or transferred to the EMIS are eligible for destruction 30 days after entry in the EMIS with no further approval required provided the following criteria is met.
1. Department Records Coordinator identifies records that are imaged and stored in a medium other than the EMIS and are also stored in the EMIS.
2. The Department Records Coordinator confirms that quality control process is completed as outlined in the City’s Imaging Policy and Guidelines for City Records (administered by the City Clerk’s Office and adopted by Administrative Regulation) on designated records and that
Records Management Program
CC RESO 2025-03 – Exhibit A
30 days has elapsed from entry in the EMIS.
3. The Department Records Coordinator destroys the records as outlined in the City’s record retention schedule.
8.2 Offsite
The City will make every effort to avoid storing records in offsite storage facilities. Whenever possible, records will be held in the department responsible for the document (Office of Record) in their original form or stored in the EMIS.
8.3 Duplicate Records
When a duplicate of an official record exists, it may be destroyed as the discretion of the department director when the original record is on file electronically in the EMIS or in original format in the Office of Record, without further authorization from the City Clerk of City Attorney.
8.4 Records Disposition
Record disposition applies to all records, regardless of the physical form or location of the record. At the conclusion of a records retention period, the record shall be disposed of in accordance with this policy.
9. REQUIRED FORMS
The following forms are to be utilized by all City Department Directors or their designees in order to efficiently and accurately identify, inventory, transfer to storage, retrieve, and destroy records under his/her control: (Each form, including instructions, is attached hereto.)
9.1 Records Retention Schedule (Exhibit B)
This form governs the mandatory disposition of City records by indicating the minimum length of time records shall be maintained in the office and in storage, and the time period after which they may be destroyed.
The Retention Schedules are created by the Office of the City Clerk based on a detailed examination of the Records Inventory & Identification Forms, and interviews with each department to determine the legal, vital, administrative, or historical value of the records. Applicable codes and statues are referenced to determine the required retention period.
Retention schedules and amendments thereto are approved by the City Attorney, City Clerk and Department Head, and authorized by City Council resolution.
9.2 Records Inventory & Identification Form (Exhibit C) This form is used to collect the inventory and appraisal information needed to develop retention periods for public records under the control of each City Department. The records inventory is a detailed review of the quantity, type, function, and organization of records by category or record “series”. This
Records Management Program
CC RESO 2025-03 – Exhibit A
information is used by the Office of the City Clerk to research and apply the retention periods to each record “series” per legal and/or administrative requirements. When more than one legal citation applies to a particular record, the longest retention period shall apply. Once completed, the inventory forms are retained by the Office of the City Clerk.
9.3 Request for Amendment to Records Retention Schedule Form (Exhibit D)
This form is used when any change is needed in the Records Retention Schedule. It is completed by the requesting department and reviewed by the City Clerk or his/her designee. Each “Request for Amendment to Records Retention Schedule” form is then submitted to the City Attorney and City Clerk for approval and must be authorized by City Council resolution. The City Clerk or his/her designee will initiate and coordinate a periodic review of all department Retention Schedules to ensure compliance with legal requirements.
9.4 Authority to Destroy Obsolete Records Form (Exhibit E) This form is prepared by the department wishing to destroy records. The City Clerk or his/her designee reviews the form and forwards it to the City Attorney for approval. Once approved by the City Attorney, the records are destroyed. The form is then signed by the department verifying destruction and returned to the Office of the City Clerk for permanent retention.
10. DISPOSITION OF RECORDS
As provided by Govt. Code Section 34090, upon the request of the Department Head and with the written consent of the City Attorney and the City Clerk, the records identified in the Records Retention Schedule are authorized to be destroyed on an on-going basis in accordance with the retention periods described therein without the necessity of a specific resolution of the City Council.
10.1 Procedure
The Office of the City Clerk shall be responsible for scheduling and coordinating with all City Departments the destruction of records on an annual basis. The appropriate forms will be distributed to all City Departments in order to document the records to be destroyed.
It shall be required that the Department Head, City Attorney, City Clerk and Records Management Coordinator authorize and sign each “Authority to Destroy Obsolete Record” form prior to the records being destroyed.
NOTE: It is imperative that all signatory staff review the requests for Authority to Destroy Obsolete Records carefully to determine whether the records listed are involved in litigation or if there is an administrative and/or operational requirement that may require a temporary extension of the retention period.
Records Management Program
CC RESO 2025-03 – Exhibit A
Records deemed to be confidential in nature shall be shredded. All other records shall be removed from their locations for secure destruction.
The Department Director in control of the records and City Clerk or his/her designee shall certify each and every destruction of records. The City Clerk or his/her designee shall maintain a permanent record of all destroyed records and destruction certifications.

• All Vital Records shall be stored in a secure, safe and controlled environment, to protect the records from theft or damage (i.e. vault or Records Center). • Vital Records that are in use but are required to be kept in a secured area, should be returned to the secured area at the end of each workday. Vital Records should not be allowed to accumulate on desks or in unprotected areas. • The Information Technology Division shall back up the City’s Servers, and imaged records each business day in accordance with procedures established with the Administrative Services Director.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 18, 2025 ITEM NUMBER: 11C
To: Mayor Shelley Hasselbrink & Members of the City Council Presented By: Michael Claborn, Chief
Subject: Ordinance 2025-01 - E-Conveyances Relating to Vehicles such as EBikes
SUMMARY
Like many other cities in Orange County, Los Alamitos has experienced a notable increase in the number of electric bicycles in the community. Both law enforcement and residents have encountered significant safety concerns related to E-bike use. A recent investigation by the Orange County Grand Jury highlighted an urgent need for consistent ordinances to regulate and enforce safe E-bike practices across cities, school districts, parks, and unincorporated areas. City Council Introduced for first reading, read by title only, waived further reading of Ordinance No. 2025-01 at the January 21, 2025 Regular Council Meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 2025-01, entitled, "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOS ALAMITOS, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 10.45 (E-CONVEYANCES) TO TITLE 10 OF THE LOS ALAMITOS MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO VEHICLES SUCH AS E-BIKES".
BACKGROUND
On June 20, 2024, the Orange County Grand Jury released a report titled E-bikes: Friend or Foe. The report highlights the growing popularity of electric bicycles (E-bikes) as communities seek alternative, cost-effective ways to commute and reduce reliance on cars. However, Ebikes also carry a higher risk of accidents and injuries compared to traditional bicycles, emphasizing the need for public education and safety regulations.
The 2023-2024 Orange County Grand Jury (OCGJ) investigation examined E-bike regulation, safety, and education across Orange County to determine which relevant measures, if any, cities have adopted. Findings show a significant variation in E-bike regulations, safety records, enforcement, and education across the county’s 34 cities, including 13 contract cities with the Orange County Sheriff's Department (OCSD). Beyond the California Vehicle Code, these differences underscore a critical need for uniform ordinances to regulate and enforce safe Ebike use in cities, school districts, parks, and unincorporated areas.
The recent surge in E-bike use has made this need urgent, and the Grand Jury’s report recommends that cities enhance oversight to address E-bike safety. One specific recommendation calls for cities to establish clear policies that define E-bike rules of the road to improve community safety.
The Los Alamitos Police Department assigned officers with extensive training and experience in traffic control, enforcement, and accident investigation to research and develop an ordinance aimed at improving the safety of E-bike riders and the communities they share the road with. These officers collaborated with multiple agencies and legal experts to create an ordinance that prioritizes safety, education, and enforcement. In November 2024, the ordinance was presented to the Los Alamitos Traffic Commission, which requested clarification on certain sections. After making minor adjustments, the police department is now presenting the final draft of the ordinance for the City Council’s review.
DISCUSSION
In recent years, electric bicycles, or E-bikes, have become increasingly popular as a convenient and eco-friendly mode of transportation. These bicycles, equipped with electric motors for pedal assistance, make it easier to travel longer distances and navigate hills. As technology improves and prices become more accessible, E-bikes are likely to grow even more popular. However, as E-bike use has risen, so have accident rates. A study published in the online journal Injury Prevention found that E-bike riders face a higher risk of accidents than traditional bicycle riders.
While Los Alamitos has made progress in promoting E-bike safety, the City continues to seek additional ways to enhance outreach and enforcement efforts to create a safer, more informed E-bike community. The police department has partnered with the school district to educate young riders on safe E-bike operation, but the City currently has no specific regulations to address E-bike safety.
In response to the Orange County Grand Jury’s recommendations, staff has drafted Ordinance No. 2024-02, for the City Council's review. This ordinance proposes adding Chapter 10.45, "Electric Conveyances," to the municipal code. Adopting this ordinance would empower the police department to improve E-bike safety within the community and fulfill the Grand Jury’s recommendation.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 18, 2025 ITEM NUMBER: 11D
To: Mayor Shelley Hasselbrink & Members of the City Council Presented By: Ron Noda, Development Services Director
Subject: Ordinance 2025-02 - Informal Bidding - Public Works
SUMMARY
This item recommends adoption of an ordinance establishing informal bidding policies and procedures for public works projects involving an expenditure at or below the $125,000 formal bidding threshold set forth in Section 1206 of the City Charter. City Council Introduced for first reading, read by title only, waived further reading of Ordinance No. 2025-02 at the January 21, 2025 Regular Council Meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 2025-02, entitled, “An ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOS ALAMITOS, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 2.62 (INFORMAL BIDDING – PUBLIC WORKS) TO THE LOS ALAMITOS MUNICIPAL CODE.”
BACKGROUND
The City of Alamitos, City Government Accountability, Transparency, Charter Reform Measure (“Measure X”) was approved by a majority of voters at the November 5, 2024 General Election.
As amended by Measure X, Section 1206 (Contracts on Public Works) of Article XII (Fiscal Administration) of the City Charter requires contracts for public works, including the construction or improvement of public buildings, works, streets, drains, sewers, utilities, parks or playgrounds involving an expenditure of more than $125,000 (the “Formal Bidding Threshold”) to be let to the lowest responsible bidder utilizing a formal process including a publication of a notice inviting bids and the award of contract by the City Council.
The proposed ordinance would codify informal bidding policies and procedures to ensure efficient procurement of public works projects involving an expenditure at or below the Formal Bidding Threshold. The proposed ordinance, with the increase in the threshold, will shorten the timeline of Public Works' related project from 6-8 months to 1-2 months.
DISCUSSION
The passage of Measure X by the voters of Los Alamitos this past election (November 2024) offered several key reforms, including updating the Public Works contracting requirements.
The amendment increases the threshold for formal bid solicitation and City Council-awarded Public Works Contract from $10,000, established and set in 1966, to $125,000 to account for inflation. City Charter Section 1206 requires public works projects valued at more than the $125,000 Formal Bidding Threshold to be awarded by the City Council to the lowest
responsible bidder following a formal solicitation process. Section 1206 does not specify how to award contracts for smaller projects. The proposed ordinance would establish informal bidding policies and procedures consistent with the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (Section 22030 et seq. of the California Public Contract Code).
The California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (the “Act”) was created in 1983 as an alternative bidding procedure designed to reduce costs, expedite the awards process, improve efficiencies, and simplify the administration of smaller public projects.
Statewide, 298 cities and 47 counties utilize the Act’s informal bidding procedures.
The Act establishes the following contacting procedures and dollar amount limitations:
(a) Public projects of $75,000 or less may be performed by the employees of a public agency by force account, negotiated contract, or purchase order. (b) Public projects of two hundred twenty thousand dollars $220,000 or less may be let to contract by informal procedures as set forth in the Act. These procedures include providing detailed notice inviting informal bids to qualified contractors no less than ten days before the bids are due.
(c) Public projects of more than $220,000 shall be let to contract by formal bidding procedure.
Pursuant to the terms of the Act, the maximum dollar amounts authorized by the Act for informal bidding of public projects are periodically subject to change by the state of California.
The proposed ordinance tracks the contracting procedures and dollar amount limitations of the Act, with one notable exception. Whereas the Act permits informal bidding for projects of $220,000 or less, the proposed ordinance requires formal bidding for any project valued in excess of $125,000 to comport with the Formal Bidding Threshold set forth in Section 1206 of the City Charter.
The proposed ordinance authorizes the City Manager to award public works contracts subject to the informal bidding limits. In the event all informal bids received exceed the $125,000 Formal Bidding Threshold, the City Council may – by a 4/5ths vote of City Council – award the contract to the lowest responsible informal bidder so long as the bids received do not exceed the Formal Bidding Threshold by more than 5%. If this contingency amount is exceeded, or if the City Council does not approve the contract by a 4/5ths vote, the project would be advertised and re-bid through the Request for Proposal (RFP) process pursuant to Section 1206 of the City Charter.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 18, 2025 ITEM NUMBER: 11E
To: Mayor Shelley Hasselbrink & Members of the City Council Presented By: Windmera Quintanar, City Clerk
Subject: Ordinance 2025-03 - Lobbyist Registration and Reporting
SUMMARY
This item recommends adoption of an ordinance establishing lobbyist registration and reporting policies, procedures and regulations to implement Section 505 of the City Charter.
City Council Introduced for first reading, read by title only, waived further reading of Ordinance No. 2025-03 at the January 21, 2025 Regular Council Meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 2025-03, entitled, “An ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOS ALAMITOS, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 2.58 (LOBBYIST REGISTRATION AND REPORTING) TO THE LOS ALAMITOS MUNICIPAL CODE.”
BACKGROUND
The City of Alamitos, City Government Accountability, Transparency, Charter Reform Measure (“Measure X”) was approved by a majority of voters at the November 5, 2024 General Election.
Measure X amends Article V (Elective Officers) of the City Charter by adding Section 505, which reads:
“§ 505. Lobbyist Registration and Reporting. Persons or firms that try to influence City decisions by lobbying City Councilmembers, the City Manager, or other City Officers shall be required to register their names and the names of their clients with the City Clerk and disclose the nature of their lobbying efforts, compensation, donations, and fundraising efforts. Such registration and disclosures shall be made accessible to the public. The City Council shall adopt policies, procedures and regulations as needed to implement this section.” The proposed ordinance would codify lobbyist registration and reporting policies, procedures and regulations to implement Section 505 of the City Charter, as approved by a majority vote by the citizens of Los Alamitos.
DISCUSSION
The proposed ordinance would add Chapter 2.58 (Lobbyist Registration and Reporting) to the Los Alamitos Municipal Code. Chapter 2.58 would regulate persons who are paid or compensated by others to attempt to influence official City actions (e.g., granting or denying
any permit, license, or other entitlement of use).
Chapter 2.58 defines what constitutes “lobbying” and who qualifies as a “lobbyist.” Lobbyists would be required to file a lobbyist registration form with the City Clerk prior to engaging in lobbying activities in the City. This form would include the names of the lobbyist’s clients, describe the nature of their lobbying activities, and list any payments made to, or on behalf of a City representative or a member of the representative’s family.
City representatives covered by the ordinance include, without limitation, the City Council, members of any appointed board or commission of the City, the City Manager, the City Clerk, the City Treasurer, the City Attorney, the City Engineer, and department directors.
Chapter 2.58 includes exemptions from the registration and reporting requirements for (a) government officials, (b) media outlets, (c) City consultants, (d) property owners/business owners, (e) employees, officers, board members of a business entity subject to a City decision, (f) technical consultants acting on behalf of an applicant, (g) bidders on competitive procurements, (h) persons requesting information concerning a municipal question, and (i) persons providing comments in the course of a public proceeding.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

MEETING DATE: February 18, 2025 ITEM NUMBER: 11F
To: Mayor Shelley Hasselbrink & Members of the City Council Presented By: Windmera Quintanar, City Clerk
Subject: Ordinance 2025-04 - Commission Membership
SUMMARY
The City of Los Alamitos has four commissions consisting of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Arts, Personnel Appeals, Planning, and Traffic. Excluding the Personnel Appeals Commission, these commissions consist of seven members. This item proposes reducing the membership to five, consistent with the makeup of the City Council and Personnel Appeals Commission. City Council Introduced for first reading, read by title only, waived further reading of Ordinance No. 2025-04 at the January 21, 2025 Regular Council Meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 2025-04, entitled, “AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF LOS ALAMITOS, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING A FIVE-PERSON MEMBERSHIP FOR CITY COMMISSIONS AND BOARDS".
BACKGROUND
The City Council has discussed the possibility of reducing the membership of the Parks, Recreation, Cultural Arts, Planning, and Traffic Commission to five. This would mirror the makeup of the City Council.
DISCUSSION
Recruiting interested parties for the various City boards and commissions throughout the years has become increasingly challenging. Our current recruitment has been extended until the end of January due to a lack of applications. The Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Arts Commission has had a vacancy for over six months. We received one application for this vacancy. The Planning Commission had five terms expire in December. One incumbent has reapplied, and two new applications have been received.
Section 2.30.010 of the Los Alamitos Municipal Code (LAMC) states that terms are for three years and must be filled by city residents. On January 16, 2007, the City Council adopted our current recruitment practice by minute order. When a vacancy occurs, the City Clerk's Office posts a Notice of Availability; all interested parties (including incumbents) must submit an application and be interviewed by the City Council. Appointments are made by a majority vote of the Council.
Ordinance No. 2025-04 proposes to reduce the membership of the Parks, Recreation, and
Cultural Arts Commission, Planning Commission, and Traffic Commission to 5.
Council may also desire to confirm the desired method for appointment. Options include, but are not limited to:
1. Continuation of posting an availability notice and interviewing all applications for appointment
2. Council to recommend one appointee per Commission to be approved by a majority vote of the City Council
3. One appointee per district per commission
If Council is satisfied with the current recruitment process, no further action is needed. If Council wants to change the recruitment process, direction can be provided to staff. A policy will be brought to the next meeting with the adoption of Ordinance No. 2025-04.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 18, 2025 ITEM NUMBER: 11G
To: Mayor Shelley Hasselbrink & Members of the City Council Presented By: Chet Simmons, City Manager
Subject: City Council Travel and Reimbursement Policy
SUMMARY
This item updates the Travel Policy specific to City Council and Appointed Officials.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Revised Administrative Regulation 6.2 - City Council Travel and Reimbursement Policy.
BACKGROUND
The City Council adopted a City-wide travel and reimbursement policy in February 2023.
During the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Budget Adoption process, the Budget Standing Committee (BSC) requested a policy specific to the City Council. The Council adopted the City Council Travel Policy on August 21, 2023. With the practical application of the policy it has become evident additional changes are required.
DISCUSSION
Air Travel
The policy, as written, requires the Council to use the "most economical mode and class of transportation" available. In practical application, this requires Council to fly from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) instead of the more local airport, Long Beach Airport (LGB). While flight rates tend to be more economical from LAX, that does not account for travel time to the airport and/or taxi service/airport parking. When all factors are taken into account, LAX is not always the most economical choice. The requested amendment would make it clear that all costs will be taken into account when booking a flight and the choice would not solely be based on the flight rate.
Lodging
In recent years, many organizations have opted not to provide discounted rates for hotels.
When hotels are available, discounted rooms are limited and sell out quickly. In keeping with the policy's practical application, Council loading has been booked at the next economic rate.
This has led to the Council staying in less-than-safe conditions and the addition of transportation fees. For example, when traveling to Sacramento the host hotel sold out quickly.
The next comparable hotel was outside the allowance of the travel policy even though the location and quality were comparable. Per the policy, Council was booked at an economical hotel that was later learned was in an undesirable side of town and unsafe to a common traveler. Additional expenses were also incurred for transportation to the convention venue.
The requested amendment to the policy would clarify that all considerations should be taken into account and comparable lodging is approved.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no fiscal impacts associated with the adoption of this policy.
Attachment: 1. Section 6.2 - City Council Travel and Reimbursement Policy (2025)
1 City of Los Alamitos
Administrative Regulation
Regulation: 6.2
Title: City Council Travel and Reimbursement Policy
Authority: Adopted by City Council Minute Order
Date: August 21, 2023
Revised: May 20, 2024, February 18, 2025
1. INTENT AND PURPOSE
The City of Los Alamitos recognizes the value of attendance by City officials at professional conferences, seminars, meetings with other government officials, professional organizations, community organizations, and constituents and ceremonial events and activities that promote or benefit the City. This policy establishes travel authorization, expense, reimbursement, and reporting standards consistent with California Government Code Sections 53232.2 and 53232.3 and adopted City policies.
2. APPLICATION
This policy applies to City Council Members and appointed members of City boards, commissions, and committees.
3. DEFINITIONS
(A) "Appointed Officials" shall refer to those officials appointed as members of City boards, commissions and committees, which constitute legislative bodies (as defined by Government Code Section 54952)
(B) ”City” shall refer to the City of Los Alamitos.
(C) “City Council Members” shall refer to the individuals who comprise the governing body of the City.
(D) “City Manager” shall refer to the City Manager of the City of Los Alamitos, or his or her designee.
4. POLICY
The City reimburses City Council Members and Appointed Officials for expenses incurred in connection with business related travel and attendance at meetings and events, in amounts designated in the approved City budget. The establishment of reasonable limits on expense reimbursement assures a prudent and responsible use of public funds to allow officials to attend beneficial conferences, seminars, and meetings.
2 Absent unusual circumstances and only with the permission of the City Council, expense reimbursements will not exceed the amounts set forth in this policy. "Reimbursement" for purposes of this policy means all forms of payment for expenses incurred by City officials in the course of their official duties whether paid directly by the City (including without limitation, with a City-issued credit card) or advanced by City officials with personal funds and later reimbursed from City funds.
This policy is not intended to address every issue, exception or contingency that may arise in the course of City travel. Accordingly, the basic standard that should always prevail is to exercise good judgment in the use and stewardship of the City's resources.
Specific issues not covered here may be directed to the City Manager.
5. TRAVEL REQUESTS AND AUTHORIZATION
A. City Council and Appointed Officials
Overnight travel for City Council Members shall be coordinated and arranged through the City Clerk’s Office and is subject to all provisions of this policy except as otherwise noted. Overnight travel for Appointed Officials shall be coordinated and arranged by the corresponding department.
B. City Representation
When total travel expenses for an event (i.e. registration, lodging, auto, air fare, meals, etc.) will cost over $500, only one City representative shall be entitled to reimbursement for their attendance. The Mayor/Presiding Officer shall have first right to attend events at the City’s expense. Second right shall go to the Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chair and then to the Council Member with the most seniority.
Should a Council Member believe there is a benefit to the City to incur the cost of sending more than one City Council representative to an event, they may request an item be put on the next City Council agenda for approval. Requests for an additional Council Member’s and/or Appointed Official’s travel will be processed in accordance with the agenda report deadlines established by the City Clerk’s Office.
City Council Members and Appointed Officials are able to attend events without approval of the City Council at their own expenses. It is understood representatives attending at their own expense are attending as individuals and shall not speak on behalf of the City.
6. CODE OF CONDUCT
The City promotes freedom of expression and open communication. It is expected that all Council Members and Appointed Officials will follow the outlined code of conduct
3 when representing the City and will avoid offending, participating in serious disputes, and disrupting workplaces.
A. Compliance with Law
All Council Members and Appointed Officials should comply with all federal, state, and local regulations, including any regulations provided by the event’s organization. Council Members and Appointed Officials shall act ethically and responsibly when dealing with the City’s finances, partnerships, and public image.
B. Personal Appearance
Council Members and Appointed Officials should follow the City’s adopted Administrative Rules and Regulation 1.8: Dress Code and Professional Standards Policy. City officials are encouraged to wear City issued attire when appropriate.
Should a Council Member or Appointed Official wish to purchase additional attire they may do so at their own expense as long as the City seal is not used. Use of City logos is permissible. Logos may be requested from the City Clerk’s Office.
C. Job Duties and Authority
All Council Members and Appointed Officials should fulfill their job duties with integrity and respect toward colleagues, other agencies, and the community.
When Council Members and Appointed Officials speak or take action on behalf of the City, they must do so with consideration of the generally accepted practices of the City or upon approval of the City Council. Should a traveler publicly take a position inconsistent with the City’s policy or practice, the Council Member/Appointed Official is obligated to make clear he/she does not speak as a City representative.
D. Alcohol and Drug Policy
