Troubleshoot issue with one workstation that had alerts from S1. From my research, I think this is a false positive. Had onsite staff run Malwarebytes and she didn't find any malware on the system. I mentioned to her that I'm still getting alerts and had her do windows updates for Windows and Office. She stated that she had gotten them done but, I was still getting alerts. I placed a SR with Pax8 and mentioned to them the issue. They stated that they can't do a analysis and I responded to them that I would like S1 to take a look at it for I've been getting alerts that it is ransomware and don't want to make a false positive exclusion until S1 determine that it is safe. Waiting on their response.

Christopher Cao 03/28/2025 Checked on Veeam and VMware environment. Approved of WSUS updates. Per scheduled maintenance with onsite staff to do maintenance work on getting the ESXi hosts updated. Due to limited resources, as a precaution to not over load the host. Powered down some VMs and left them on the host that it is currently residing on. The online VMs were migrated to the host that was not being worked on and when all VMs are off of the current host, I took the host into maintenance mode. I've already pre-staged the updates to the host so all that was needed to be done was to remediate. On another computer, I consoled into the iDRAC interface of the host that I'm working and monitored the progress. I also did a check on the firmware and applied all updates on next reboot. Once, the remediation of the host was complete, I saw that it rebooted the host and applied the firmware updates. Once, it was completed, it rebooted the host back into the VMware hypervisor. On vSphere, I saw that it is back online and is up to dat

City Council Budget Questions
Mayor Hasselbrink’s Questions:

How are estimates for revenues derived?
The City uses several tools and relies on various sources when estimating revenues. One important tool is historical trends. Historical trends provide a road map to understand where the city has experienced growth (increases) and contraction (declines). Trending provides valuable data and insight for predicting the future that can be used in financial modeling and revenue estimation. An important source is the City’s sales tax and property tax consultant, HDL, who provides quarterly estimates based on actual recorded information and projections based on current market trends. Other sources include information provided by economic forecasts. The City also tracks developing financial trends and changes in the market.

What makes up the category of Other Taxes?
Other Taxes include Sales Tax, Measure Y (Local Sales Tax), Transient Occupancy Tax (Hotel Tax), and Business Licenses, which are categorized this way to distinguish them from Property Taxes, which are shown separately.

What do salaries and benefits consist of?
Salaries and benefits consist of full-time and part-time salaries based on Councilapproved salary scales. They also reflect other adjustments based on Council-approved labor agreements and corresponding cost-of-living adjustments (COLA). The City currently has labor agreements in place with each of its represented bargaining units that will remain in effect until 2028.

How has the City’s budget stood up to the changes in the financial markets over the past five years?
The City has adopted and operated with structurally balanced budgets for the past five years. Each of these years yielded a surplus that was then reinvested in either the City’s infrastructure or deployed to meet new operational goals.

Mayor Pro-tem Doby Questions:

What accounts for the increase in revenues from the prior budget? Revenues have been adjusted to reflect trending activity for fiscal year 24-25, which was considered and reflected when estimating the new budget. Other factors include anticipated increased activity in certain program revenues, like fines and forfeitures, and charges for services. While there is volatility in the market, the City’s revenue project takes into account how those changes might impact the City’s long-term financial picture.

What accounts for the increase in expenditures from the prior budget? Changes to departmental budgets reflect salary increases and related benefits resulting from the approved MOU adjustments, an increase in part-time salaries due to program expansion, and additional proposed staffing. Other increases are attributable to higher contractual costs. This has been an area of the budget that staff will be tracking closely and will be providing quarterly updates to ensure that we are keeping track of price changes.

Operationally, what is the biggest change that we can anticipate seeing this year? The City has the opportunity to bring some new facilities online this year. This includes a revamping of one of the Community Centers, as well as a number of upgrades to our park system.

Once the budget is adopted, will the Council receive periodic updates once the budget is adopted?
Yes, Finance will issue and report the budget to actual expenditures on a quarterly basis.

The estimated schedule includes a report in October for Q1 (July – September), February for Q2 (October – December), at Mid-Year (6 months), April for Q3 (January – March), and the fiscal year end with the audit.

Councilmember Nefulda’ s Questions:

What makes up the transfers from the General Fund?

Councilmember Loe’s Question:

Where does the City hold its short-term or working capital? Short-term or working capital is maintained in California investment pools with the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and the California Asset Management Program (CAMP).

Two different accounts? Why?
Two different accounts are utilized to take advantage of different return rates, market fluctuations, and to maintain liquidity diversification. LAIF transactions are credited on the same day. if transacted before 10 a.m., and CAMP transactions are the next day with ACH. In late 2024 prior to the Fed interest rate cuts, CAMP was leading LAIF by 30 bps. CAMP is currently at 4.29% and LAIF is roughly the same at 4.28%.

Are there investment vehicles that the City doesn’t currently use that it can? Would we consider taking equity positions?
Yes. However, the City is generally more conservative than allowed by the government code. A few additional investment instruments for consideration include bankers acceptances, placement service deposits, repurchase agreements, and public bank obligations. Staff will review additional investment instruments when the Investment Policy is updated in November.

Can the City re-adopt the Fiscal Sustainability Pledge? If the City Council wishes to reconsider this item, staff can prepare it for a future Council meeting.

Councilmember Hibbard’s Questions:

I have a couple of questions regarding the proposed payments to Los Alamitos Youth Baseball, a local nonprofit. Could you help me understand how these proposed 2-line items should not be considered gifts of public funds? Do we have any MOUs with LAYB? If so, I’d like to see them.

The City doesn’t currently have any agreements with LAYB, and the proposed budget does not include any funding for this non-profit. The City is in talks with the Joint Forces Training Center to operate Sunburst Field on Lexington. Should the City Council choose to move forward with this proposal, LAYB could potentially become a tenant of the City and be housed on the site.
