AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 1.
DATE: January 25, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE PROPOSED USES OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT ALLOCATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024 AND ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 6281 APPROVING THE FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM BUDGET
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council, after holding a public hearing, adopt Resolution No. 6281 approving the FY 2023-2024 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program budget.
BACKGROUND:
Each program year, the City receives an annual Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA).The CDBG allocation from the LACDA for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-2024 will form part of the City’s Overall Budget in Fund 243 entitled CDBG.
It is estimated that the City’s allocated funding will be $356,826. As a CDBG Subrecipient of the LACDA, the City of Maywood must submit a CDBG Program Planning Summary describing the proposed programs and funding allocations for FY 2023-2024 by February 1, 2023. The intended use of this funding is for various community development programs and projects to benefit low- and moderate-income persons.
DISCUSSION:
The CDBG Program seeks to ensure that the needs and resources of the community are included in a comprehensive planning effort to revitalize distressed neighborhoods and help low- and moderate-income residents. Currently, CDBG funds are used to fund a portion of the Graffiti Removal Program, Code Enforcement activities, and the Sidewalk Rehabilitation Project. HUD encourages and requires that the City involve the general public in the development of the City’s CDBG Program. Accordingly, this public hearing was noticed through the attached public hearing notice, pursuant to HUD and LACDA requirements, and complies with citizen participation regulations.
The public hearing is a part of HUD’s public participation process and is one of the primary vehicles for community involvement in the City’s CDBG planning process.
PROPOSED FY 2023-2024 CDBG PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS
Graffiti Removal Program:
The Graffiti Removal program provides for the removal of graffiti from public areas and private property where graffiti is visible from the public right-of-way. CDBG funds pay for graffiti removal contractor services. CDBG program regulations identify graffiti abatement as a public service, which is subject to a twenty percent (20%) cap of the annual allocation (20% of $356,826 = $71,365). Note that the LACDA increased the public service cap from 15% to 20% for FY 2023-2024. This increase will offset the amount of General Funds used to pay for the balance of the Graffiti Removal Program budget. FY 2023-2024 funding request is $71,365.
Code Enforcement: Activities
The Code Enforcement program aids in the elimination of substandard housing, removal of blighted conditions, promoting property maintenance, and ensuring conformance with City zoning and building ordinances, as well as the enforcement of applicable State and County Health codes. Fund 243 CDBG is allocated to support Personal Services (PS) [Salaries and Benefits] of 100% of the Code Enforcement Officer I, 20% of the Director of Building and Planning, 5% of the Senior Accountant, and for Non-Personal Services (NPS) costs associated with program implementation. In addition, CDBG funds are used for project administration, which is up to a maximum of 20% of the project allocation. The allocation for CDBG administration is $35,000 (20% of $175,000). FY 2023-2024 funding request is $175,000.
Sidewalk Rehabilitation Project:
The Sidewalk Rehabilitation Project will provide funding for various repairs to damaged sidewalks, curbs and gutters, driveway approaches, adjacent asphalt pavement, and additional items associated with sidewalk repairs in targeted locations throughout the City. CDBG funds are used for design, engineering, plans and specifications, and construction costs associated with project implementation. The proposed allocation includes funding for CDBG project administration and contract compliance. The FY 2023-2024 funding request is $110,461.
The cost of project administration, coordination, monitoring, reporting, and contract compliance services are charged on a project-based model which allows the City to pay for costs associated with meeting the regulatory requirements on a per project basis. CDBG funds are used to reimburse the City for personnel and non-personnel costs, including the funding for contract services required for CDBG project administration. The City’s CDBG contracted services include the CDBG Program Consultant.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Fiscal Year 2023-2024 funding for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is estimated at $356,826 - Department Code 150 - Community Development Block Grant. Approval of the proposed CDBG funding allocations will be incorporated into the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 City Budget. The CDBG Program does not impact the City's General Fund budget.

AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 3.
DATE: January 25, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: ANTHONY RAINEY, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 6282 OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MAYWOOD AND
SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE MAYWOOD COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY APPROVING THE WARRANTS FOR PAYMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive, approve and file the warrant registers, wire transfers dated 01/05/2023 through 01/12/2023, and net payrolls dated 12/18/2022 through 12/31/2022 and adopt Resolution 6282 approving Warrants for Payment.
BACKGROUND:
Staff provides warrant registers and wire transfers to City Council as part of Management Controls, which as a whole are the policies, procedures, and practices conceived and put in place to assure the following:
• the economical, efficient, and effective achievement of the City's objectives. • adherence to laws, regulations, rules for policies;
• the safeguarding of assets and information;
• the prevention and detection of fraud and error; and
• the quality of accounting records and the timely production of reliable financial and management information.
Furthermore, Internal Controls are a set of rules, procedures, and practices developed and employed to facilitate the safeguarding of the City’s assets, be they liquid (cash or investments) or fixed (infrastructure or equipment), or intangible (credit rating or information).
The City utilizes resolutions for approving warrants for payment to comply with Section 3-2.06 of the Municipal Code regarding Warrants for Payments. Exhibit A entitled Summary of Warrants and Wire Transfers/ Automated Clearing House (ACH) Transactions serves as a Management Control for complying with Section 3-2.06. Exhibit B entitled Detail of Warrants serves as evidence of Internal Controls utilized by City Finance staff that support these Management Controls for payments made by the City. These controls are carried out through the submission of all required documents supporting the invoices submitted for payment. Prior to payment, the Finance staff reviews all disbursement documents to ensure that they meet the approval requirements.
DISCUSSION:
A - PAYMENT APPROVAL - Pursuant to paragraph 37202 of the California Government Code, demands (called Warrant Demand) against the City for payment shall be audited and thereafter submitted to the City Council for approval or rejection prior to payment, either separately or in a register of audited demands and shall have attached thereto affirmation of the City Treasurer and City Finance Director certifying the accuracy of the demands and the availability of funds for payment. This is accomplished using:
A1 - Warrants Registers or checks certified or approved by the City Treasurer and Finance Director as conforming to authorized expenditures set forth in the City Council adopted City Budget. These are listed in Exhibit B - Warrant Register Detail 1.25.23.
A1.1 Prepayments – pre-paying allows the City to take advantage of allowable prompt payment discounts and make payments on due dates of invoices. This involves the issuance of checks prior to final warrant approval. Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions are made using a network that electronically moves money between the City’s bank accounts to a payee’s bank account. This is reflected in Exhibit A - Summary Warrants for Payment and Wire Transfers/ACH Transactions 1.25.23 as Accounts Payable prepaid warrants for payment. Wire Transfer is a method of electronic funds transfer from the City of Maywood to one person or organization (payrolls and fees for electronic transfers).
A1.2 Regular Payment – To avoid late fees for payments made beyond due dates of invoices, checks are prepared prior to final warrant approval by the City Council. This is reflected in Exhibit A - Summary Warrants for Payment and Wire Transfers/ACH Transactions 1.25.23 as Accounts Payable regular warrants for payment. After City Council approval, the checks are signed and distributed.
B - DOCUMENTATION – The City uses a Management Control by producing a summary document (Exhibit A - Summary Warrants for Payment and Wire Transfers/ACH transactions) that represents the cash disbursements required and the City uses an Internal Control by producing a detailed document (Exhibit B – Detail Warrants for Payment) that details information about each check issued for Prepaids and or to-be-paid for Regular Payments. These “disbursements” are accounted for in the FY 2022-23 budget.
B1 – SUMMARY WARRANTS FOR PAYMENT AND WIRE TRANSFERS/ACH TRANSACTIONS provide an accounting of the Accounts Payable Registers, wire transfers (method of electronic funds transfer from the City of Maywood to one person or organization), and Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions.
B2 – DETAIL WARRANTS FOR PAYMENTS - Exhibit B - Warrant Register Detail 1.25.23 provides the detailed information of approved payments made to the City's vendors and contractors by check number, identification of prepaid, date of warrant, vendor name, check amount, transaction description, and fund source. Wire transfers also enable the City to send electronic funds to the bank accounts of the City's vendors and contractors. The warrant registers, wire transfers, and net payrolls reflect the financial obligations of the City for the above-referenced dates.

AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.
DATE: January 25, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: ANTHONY RAINEY, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE
SUBJECT: REVENUE REPORT JULY - DECEMBER 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the Revenue Report from July - December 2022.
BACKGROUND:
In an effort to maintain transparency, the City’s Finance Department prepares a monthly Revenue report for the City Council’s review. The Revenue Report is a tool used by the Council to monitor and oversee the financial health of the City.
DISCUSSION:
The attached analysis (see Attachment 1) compares prior Year-to-Date (YTD) and current YTD Revenue. For context, December is the 6th month of Fiscal Year 2022/2023 or 50% of the Fiscal Year.
The total revenue received from July - December 2022 totaled $8,527,177.78 (bottom of column B), which is
1.69% (see column D - Current YTD Prior YTD % Difference in attachment) higher than the same period last year.
• GENERAL FUND - General Fund revenues are composed of three categories: 1) Tax Revenues; 2) Licenses and Permits Revenues; 3) Charges for Services Revenues; 4) Charges for Services Revenues; 5) Leases and Concessions Revenues; 5) Miscellaneous Revenues; and 6) Retiree Pension Levy Revenues. The total General Fund received totaled $3,103,658.77 (see Column entitled B - Current Fiscal Year to Date Revenue, the row entitled General Fund Revenue Totals), which is .28% (Column E) lower than the same period last year.
1. Tax Revenues. A tax is a compulsory monetary contribution to the City’s revenue, assessed and imposed by the City on the activities, expenditure, income, occupation, privilege, property, etc., of individuals and organizations. Tax Totals for this time period were 6.26% lower than the same period due primarily to:
▪ 1.1) the decrease in Cannabis Sales Tax Revenue by nearly 23%. There appears to be a shakeout in the cannabis industry of the Los Angeles region.
There have been closures, consolidations, mergers and acquisitions. It does not
appear that Congress will take up the Safe and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act that would permit banks to do business with plant-touching cannabis companies. Because cannabis remains federally illegal, traditional financial institutions will not facilitate cannabis-related transactions and the industry's access to capital is restricted.
▪ 1.2) the decrease in Sales Tax Revenue by 13.22%. There was a decrease in customer transactions resulting in less sales taxes collected than the same period in 2021.
2. Licenses and Permits Revenues. These revenues include fees that are charges imposed on an individual for a service that the person chooses to receive. A fee may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the particular service or product for which the fee is charged, plus overhead. Fees are charged for specific services, and fee revenue may fund only those services and related expenses. Licenses and permits are types of fees allowing for the operation of activities within the City. Licenses and Fees Totals were 39.83% greater than the same period due in part to the increases in the collection of Public Works Permit Fees and Building Permits respectively. The City's Residential & Building Permits are nearly 48% higher and 4305 - Public Works Permit Fees are 87% higher than the same period in 2021. The City is monitoring 4205 - Business License Tax that is down 50% from the same period in 2021.
3. Charges for Services Revenues. These revenues were 4.15% above the same period last Fiscal Year. These revenues are charges to cover administrative costs for the provision of services of the City. This is due to the increase in 4704 - Plan Check Fee revenues by 17.41% more than the same period last Fiscal Year. Plan Check is a review of plans, drawings and documents by the City for compliance with the building codes. An accurate and detailed set of plans, specifications and supporting documents is required for construction projects and is reflected in the City.
4. Fines and Forfeiture Revenues. These are revenues from penalties imposed by the City in the form of money or goods for a violation of an ordinance, code, regulation, or rule. 4404 - Southeast Municipal Court (SEMC) - Court Collections for the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) violations were nearly 79% higher and 4403 - Citations - Administrative were 85% higher than in the same period of the prior Fiscal Year.
5. Leases and Concessions Revenues. These revenues are derived from rent or lease or payment for the use of the City's property. These revenues were 2.06% higher than the prior Fiscal Year period.
6. Miscellaneous Revenues. These revenues represent a General Fund revenue that is not covered in another revenue category. These revenues were 113.16% higher than the same period during the prior Fiscal Year primarily due to 4803 - Interest Income being conservatively estimated for the FY 2022-2023 venue budget.
7. Retiree Pension Levy Revenues. These revenues are part of a segment of property taxes that are collected by the Los Angles County Treasurer and Tax Collector. Remittances for Fiscal Year 2022/2023 from the County to the City occur in July 2022, December 2022, January 2023, April 2023, and May 2023.
• SPECIAL REVENUE FUND - Special Funds are revenues that must be used for the established purposes of the funds to provide an extra level of accountability and transparency. The total Special Revenue Fund received totaled $5,423,519.01, which is 2.86% higher than the same period last year.
The City received the second installment in the amount of $3,226,257.00 from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA). These Funds support cities in mitigating the fiscal effects stemming from the public health emergency caused by COVID-19.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact with this action.

AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.
DATE: January 25, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: SHIRLEY QUINONES, EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT/DEPUTY CITY CLERK SUBJECT: RECONSIDERATION OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE COVID-19 STATE OF
EMERGENCY AND DETERMINE THAT THE CITY WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD
MEETINGS VIA TELECONFERENCING AND MAKING FINDINGS PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54953(e)(3).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a motion finding that the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members of the City’s legislative bodies to meet safely in person, and that State and County of Los Angeles officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing and therefore, the legislative body meetings of the City may continue in a virtual teleconference format in compliance with Government Code Section 54953(e).
BACKGROUND:
The City Council has met remotely throughout the pandemic to protect the health and safety of the public and staff. At the January 11, 2023, City Council meeting when this item was discussed, the Council reconsidered the factual circumstances that still exist and the City Council opted to continue to hold meetings pursuant to AB361, enabling local public agencies to continue to use teleconferencing without complying with certain Brown Act provisions related to teleconferencing.
DISCUSSION:
Los Angeles County continues to experience high levels of circulating respiratory viruses this winter, including the flu and respiratory syncytial virus, both of which can cause serious illness, hospitalizations, and death according to the health department. This is in addition to the new strains of COVID-19, including BQ.1 and BQ.1.1, sublineages of BA.5. Post the New Year’s holiday, Los Angeles County health officials are urging workers and students to wear masks in indoor public settings for at least 10 days once they return to work and school. Masking remains recommended but not required in indoor public settings. California workplace safety rules, however, require workers to mask if they have been in close contact with an infected person for 10 days after the exposure. County Health officials continue to encourage residents to get their booster shot to fend off transmission as well as get a flu shot.
The cases for the last two weeks have remained steady and the Department of Public Health reported collectively 3,217 new cases from January 14th through January 17th. For the week ending January 12th, LA County Public Health reported the highest number of deaths at this point in the season and stated that this underscores the continued deadly risks of COVID-19. Accordingly, transmission still remains contagious, with increased risk for the elderly, the unvaccinated, people with serious health conditions, and workers in close
contact with others.
Cal OSHA Emergency Temporary Standards continue to recognize the importance of social distancing and state that the fact that particles containing the virus can travel more than six feet, especially indoors, training and instruction should be given to employees in that regard as well as inform them that physical distancing, face coverings, increased ventilation indoors, and respiratory protection decrease the spread of COVID-19 and are most effective when used in combination. Additionally, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health continues to recommend that employers take steps to reduce indoor crowding and to enable employees and visitors to physically distance themselves from each other.
Based on the research conducted since the last City Council meeting, the factual circumstances exist for the City Council to continue to hold meetings pursuant to AB 361. The state of emergency is still in effect, and there are recommended measures to promote social distancing. Meeting in person continues to directly impact the ability of members to meet safely in person. By reconsidering the circumstances of the state of emergency created by the COVID-19 pandemic and finding that the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person and that state and local officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing, the public meetings of the City of Maywood can continue to be conducted in a hybrid format (Zoom and In-person) for the next 30 days.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact if the City Council makes the determination under AB 361 as the City has been meeting in a remote format since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020.

Contractor expressly waives its statutory immunity under such statutes or laws as to City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers.
C. Insurance Requirements not Limiting. City does not, and shall not, waive any rights that it may possess against Contractor because of the acceptance by City, or the deposit with City, of any insurance policy or certificate required pursuant to this Agreement.

E. Contractor’s Waiver of Subrogation. The insurance policies required under this Section shall not prohibit Contractor and Contractor’s employees, agents or subContractors from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Contractor hereby waives all rights of subrogation against City.

H. City Remedy for Noncompliance. If Contractor does not maintain the policies of insurance required under this Section in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement, or in the event any of Contractor’s policies do not comply with the requirements under this Section, City may either immediately terminate this Agreement or, if insurance is available at a reasonable cost, City may, but has no duty to, take out the necessary insurance and pay, at Contractor’s expense, the premium thereon.

Contractor shall furnish such proof at least two weeks prior to the expiration of the coverages.

B. Obligations upon Termination. Contractor shall cease all work under this Agreement on or before the effective date of termination specified in the notice of termination.

Contractor shall have no other claim against City by reason of such termination, including any claim for compensation.
13. Force Majeure. Contractor shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement if Contractor presents acceptable evidence, in City’s sole judgment, that such failure was due to acts of God, embargoes, inability to obtain labor or materials or reasonable substitutes for labor or materials, governmental restrictions, governmental regulations, governmental controls, judicial orders, enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, or other causes beyond Contractor’s reasonable control and not due to any act by Contractor.
14. Default.
A. Contractor’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a default. In the event that Contractor is in default for cause under the terms of this Agreement, City shall have no obligation or duty to continue compensating Contractor for any work performed after the date of default.
B. In addition to the right to terminate pursuant to Section 12, if the City Manager determines that Contractor is in default in the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, City shall serve Contractor with written notice of the default. Contractor shall have ten calendar days after service upon it of the notice in which to cure the default by rendering a satisfactory performance. In the event that Contractor fails to cure its default within such period of time, City may, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, terminate this Agreement without further notice and without prejudice to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law, in equity or under this Agreement.

16. Non-Discrimination and Equal Employment Opportunity. In the performance of this Agreement, Contractor shall not discriminate against any employee, subContractor or applicant for employment because of race, color, religious creed, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, age, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, sexual orientation or other basis prohibited by law. Contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that subContractors and applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, color, religious creed, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, age, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic information or sexual orientation.
17. Prohibition of Assignment and Delegation. Contractor shall not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement, either in whole or in part, without City’s prior written consent. City’s consent to an assignment of rights under this Agreement shall not release Contractor from any of its obligations or alter any of its primary obligations to be performed under this Agreement. Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of this Section shall be void and of no effect and shall entitle City to terminate this Agreement. As used in this Section, “assignment” and “delegation” means any sale, gift, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance or other transfer of all or any portion of the rights, obligations, or liabilities in or arising from this Agreement to any person or entity, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and regardless of the legal form of the transaction in which the attempted transfer occurs.
18. No Third Party Beneficiaries Intended. This Agreement is made solely for the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns, and no other person or entity may have or acquire a right by virtue of this Agreement.
19. Waiver. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to City under this Agreement shall impair any right, power or remedy of City, nor shall it be construed as a waiver of, or consent to, any breach or default. No waiver of any breach, any failure of a condition, or any right or remedy under this Agreement shall be (1) effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Party making the waiver, (2) deemed to be a waiver of, or consent to, any other breach, failure of a condition, or
-11- Ver. 02/2019
12501-0001\2300515v1.doc
right or remedy, or (3) deemed to constitute a continuing waiver unless the writing expressly so states.
20. Final Payment Acceptance Constitutes Release. The acceptance by 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 Contractor for anything done, furnished or relating to 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 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, subContractors and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by City for any defect or error in the work prepared by Contractor, its employees, subContractors and agents.
21. Corrections. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, 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 Contractor fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction may be made by City, and the cost thereof shall be charged to Contractor. In addition to all other available remedies, City may deduct the cost of such correction from any retention amount held by City or may withhold payment otherwise owed Contractor under this Agreement up to the amount of the cost of correction.
22. Non-Appropriation of Funds. Payments to be made to Contractor by City for services performed within the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and within an available, unexhausted fund. In the event that City does not appropriate sufficient funds for payment of Contractor’s services beyond the current fiscal year, this Agreement shall cover payment for Contractor’s services 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. Exhibits. Exhibits A and B constitute a part of this Agreement and are incorporated into this Agreement by this reference. If any inconsistency exists or arises between a provision of this Agreement and a provision of any exhibit, or between a provision of this Agreement and a provision of Contractor’s proposal, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
24. Entire Agreement and Modification of Agreement. This Agreement and all exhibits referred to in this Agreement constitute the final, complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all other prior or contemporaneous oral or written understandings and agreements of the Parties.

-12- Ver. 02/2019

except those expressly set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended, nor any provision or breach hereof waived, except in a writing signed by both Parties.

26. Word Usage. Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, (a) the words “shall,” “will” and “agrees” are mandatory and “may” is permissive; (b) “or” is not exclusive; and (c) “includes” or “including” are not limiting.
27. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in respect to all provisions of this Agreement that specify a time for performance; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to limit or deprive a Party of the benefits of any grace or use period allowed in this Agreement.
28. Business Days. “Business days” means days Maywood City Hall is open for business.
29. Governing Law and Choice of Forum. This Agreement, and any dispute arising from the relationship between the Parties to this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, except that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in interpreting this Agreement. Any dispute that arises under or relates to this Agreement (whether contract, tort or both) shall be resolved in a superior court with geographic jurisdiction over the City of Maywood.
30. Attorneys’ Fees. In any litigation or other proceeding by which a Party seeks to enforce its rights under this Agreement (whether in contract, tort or both) or seeks a declaration of any rights or obligations under this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover all attorneys’ fees, experts’ fees, and other costs actually incurred in connection with such litigation or other proceeding, in addition to all other relief to which that Party may be entitled.
31. Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the validity of and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected and continue in full force and effect.
32. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, all of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which will constitute one and the same instrument.
33. Corporate Authority. Each person executing this Agreement on behalf of his or her Party warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute this Agreement on behalf

AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.
DATE: January 25, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: NANCY RODRIGUEZ, HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 6283 APPROVING A WAGE AND BENEFIT
PACKAGE FOR CITY NON-REPRESENTED EXEMPT EMPLOYEES
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6283 approving a wage and benefit package for City Non-Represented Exempt Employees
BACKGROUND:
On December 14, 2022, the City Council approved a one-time lump sum payment of Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000) for Essential Worker Pay to the City employees covered under the newly adopted American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which also included wage increases and added an additional floating holiday for Juneteenth. City staff is now bringing forward a resolution for City Council’s consideration to provide certain wage and benefit considerations for eligible full-time nonrepresented exempt employees that is consistent with the above-mentioned benefits set forth in the AFSCME MOU.
DISCUSSION:
The agenda item before City Council is a recommendation to authorize and approve a resolution for a wage and benefit package for Full-Time Non-Represented Exempt employees. The following resolution before the City Council will coincide with a two-and-one-half percent (2.5%) salary increase for the current fiscal year and the following two fiscal years, adoption of the new Floating Holiday (Juneteenth) and eligible employees will receive a one-time premium pay ("Essential Worker Pay") of up to $3,000 of essential pay through the American Rescue Plan Act 2021 (ARPA).
With regards to the Essential Worker Pay, a one-time lump sum payment of Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000.00) will be paid to eligible City Management employees no later than 30 days following the adoption of this Resolution No. 6283 and upon qualification per the United States Treasury guidelines for the use of ARPA funds. The payment will be subject to any required withholdings. The employees acknowledge and agree the payment is not subject to California Public Employment Retirement Services (“CalPERS”) withholdings or consideration.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact of the proposed wage and benefit package covers two items.
First, it covers the Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs) plus benefits with a fiscal impact on the Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget as follows:
a. Account No. 5103: Salaries @ $25,845.51 (COLA) + $6,000 (Essential Worker Pay) b. Account No. 5201: CalPERS Retirement (Current Employees) @ $2,267.54 c. Account No. 5220: City Portion of Medicare Expense @ $374.76 d. (a + b + c ) = $34,487.81
Payroll (salaries and benefits) is allocated across several City funds, therefore this budget amendment (adjustment) will also be allocated across funds based on current payroll allocations.
Second, the proposed wage and benefit package provides each designated essential worker with $3,000.00; a one-time payment that is not subject to Public Employment Retirement Services -“PERS”- withholdings or consideration. There are two positions that will qualify for the Essential Worker Pay. The cost of the Essential Worker Pay for this group will not exceed $6,000.00 for FY 2022-23 as one of the three employees does not qualify for the pay based on the U.S Department of Treasury regulations that the person had to be employed during a specific time-frame. Based on the final rule from the U.S. Department of Treasury, the City is allowed to utilize the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funding to cover Essential Worker Pay. This funding was not allocated in the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Budget. Therefore, a budget amendment (adjustment) in FY (2022-23) from the Special Revenue Fund - Fund 273 - Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (e.g.ARPA) is for Essential Worker Pay $6,000.00.
F.Y. 22-23 Impact: The fiscal year 2022-23 COLA

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 6284 APPROVING THE CITY'S UPDATED

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Adopting Resolution No. 6284 approving the City’s updated Comprehensive Pay Schedule in accordance with California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) regulations.
BACKGROUND:
California Code of Regulations section 570.5 (CCR 570.5) sets specific requirements for California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) agencies and the administration of their pay schedules. Most notably, pay schedules must be:
• Consolidated in one city-wide document (does not permit reference to another document in lieu of disclosing the pay rate).
• Pay schedule must be duly approved and adopted by the employer’s governing body in accordance with the requirements of applicable public meeting laws.
• Pay schedule must be immediately accessible and available for public review during normal business hours or posted on the employer’s internet website.
The City Council previously adopted Resolution No. 6222 establishing a Comprehensive Pay Schedule for all FullTime Employees, Part-Time Employees, and Elected Officials in February 2022.
DISCUSSION:
CalPERS requires whenever there are changes to one or more pay rates, whether through the Meet and Confer process, employment contracts, new classifications, reclassifications, etc., the City is required to update the Pay Schedule and present it to the City Council for review and approval. Any updates will include an effective date and date of any revisions and are to be retained by the City and available for public inspection for not less than five years. With the salary changes for the Represented, Non-Represented Management, and Confidential Employees, the Schedule (Attachment A) incorporates these changes. Upon adoption of the Comprehensive Pay Schedule Resolution No. 6284 by the City Council, the Comprehensive Pay Schedule will
be posted on the City of Maywood's website. The updated Comprehensive Pay Schedule (Attachment A) before City Council for approval includes:
• Salary Schedules previously approved in Resolution No. 6277 with the City’s respective bargaining unit. • Salary Schedules for the non-represented management and confidential employees • Part-Time hourly pay rates which have been adjusted based on the City’s minimum wage increase to $15.50 effective January 1, 2023.

BACKGROUND:
Metro provides pass-through funding for transportation-related projects to the City of Maywood. These funds are maintained and administered by the City in the following funds:
▪ Fund 214 Transportation Development Act (TDA) Bikeway Fund: Proceeds from this fund are provided by the state. It is restricted to local pedestrian and bikeway-related projects, including maintenance. This is one of the City’s Special Funds.
▪ Fund 221 - Proposition A Transit Fund: This fund reflects the financial activity related to Maywood’s share of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (Metro’s) Proposition A local return county sales tax dollars. Proposition A is funded from a ½ cent sales tax allocation administered by MTA; 25% goes to the Local Returns Program (LRP) that provides the funding for the cities. This money is restricted to transportation-related expenditures. The Proposition A Fund is used to pay for the City's Dial-A-Ride and Shuttle service.
▪ Fund 222 - Proposition C Transit Fund: This fund reflects the financial activity related to Maywood’s share of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (Metro’s) Proposition C local return county sales tax dollars. Proposition C is funded from a ½ cent sales tax allocation administered by MTA; 20% goes to the Local Returns Program (LRP) that provides the funding for the cities. This money is restricted to certain types of transportation and maintenance programs. The Proposition C Fund is used to pay for various City street projects, bus pass subsidy programs, and other related contractual services.
▪ Fund 224 - Measure R Transit Fund: This fund accounts for the revenues of Measure R activities.
Measure R is funded from a ½ cent sales tax allocation administered by the Los Angeles County
Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro); 15% goes to the Local Returns Program (LRP) that provides the funding for the cities. Funding from this measure can be used to synchronize traffic signals, repair potholes, and for transportation projects and related improvements. Measure R Funds are used for various street projects and other related daily operating costs. ▪ Fund 225 - Measure M Transit Fund: This fund accounts for the revenues of Measure M activities.
Measure M is funded from a ½ cent sales tax allocation administered by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro); 17% of the allocation goes to the Local Returns Program (LRP) that provides the funding for the cities. Funding from this measure can be used for transit services and to ease traffic congestion. The Measure M Fund pays for various city street projects and other related daily operating costs. This is one of the City’s Spec Vasquez + Company LLP audited the City of Maywood's financial statements of the Proposition A Local Return Fund, the Proposition C Local Return Fund, the Measure R Local Return Fund, the Measure M Local Return Fund and the Transportation Development Act Article 3 Fund (collectively, the Funds) that comprised the Funds’ balance sheets as of June 30, 2021, and 2022, the related statements of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances for the years then ended,
and the related notes to the financial statements.
DISCUSSION:
In the Auditor's opinion, the City's financial statements presented fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the Proposition A Local Return Fund, the Proposition C Local Return Fund, the Measure R Local Return Fund, the Measure M Local Return Fund and the Transportation Development Act Article 3 Fund of the City of Maywood, California as of June 30, 2021 and 2021, and the respective changes in financial position for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Auditor did however have a finding related to an unexpended and unencumbered fund balance within the TDA Fund. This finding was resolved by the City requesting and being granted an extension of the use of funds through June 30, 2023. This expenditure is included in the current Capital Improvement Budget.

1 Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Honorable Members of the City Council of the
City of Maywood, California and the
Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the Proposition A Local Return Fund, the Proposition C Local Return Fund, the Measure R Local Return Fund, the Measure M Local Return Fund and the Transportation Development Act Article 3 Fund (collectively, the Funds) of the City of Maywood, California (the City) which comprise the Funds’ balance sheets as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the related statements of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the Proposition A Local Return Fund, the Proposition C Local Return Fund, the Measure R Local Return Fund, the Measure M Local Return Fund and the Transportation Development Act Article 3 Fund of the City of Maywood, California as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the respective changes in financial position for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
2 Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 2, the financial statements present only the Proposition A Local Return Fund, the Proposition C Local Return Fund, the Measure R Local Return Fund, the Measure M Local Return Fund and the Transportation Development Act Article 3 Fund of the City of Maywood, California, and do not purport to, and do not present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the changes in its financial position for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statements date including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
3 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on each of the Funds’ financial statements as a whole. The supplementary information identified in the table of contents is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the Funds’ basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the Funds’ basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the Funds’ basic financial statements or to the Funds’ basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS.

The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over the Funds’ financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over the Funds’ financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over the Funds’ financial reporting and compliance.

23 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Fund Accounting
The operations of the Proposition A Local Return Fund (PALRF), the Proposition C Local Return Fund (PCLRF), the Measure R Local Return Fund (MRLRF), the Measure M Local Return Fund (MMLRF) and the Transportation Development Act Article 3 Fund (TDAA3F) (collectively, the Funds) are accounted for in separate sets of self-balancing accounts that comprise their assets, liabilities, fund balance, revenues and expenditures.
PALRF and PCLRF represent 25% and 20%, respectively, of the ½ cent Proposition A and ½ cent Proposition C sales taxes which are distributed to the jurisdictions within Los Angeles County based on population and must be used exclusively for transportation related programs and projects.
MRLRF is derived from 15% of the county-wide ½ cent Measure R sales tax which is distributed to the jurisdictions within Los Angeles County based on a per capita basis and must be used exclusively for transportation purposes.
MMLRF is derived from 17% of the county-wide ½ cent Measure M sales tax which is distributed to the jurisdictions within Los Angeles County based on a per capita basis and must be used exclusively for transportation purposes.
TDAA3F is a Special Revenue Fund that accounts for the City's share of the Transportation Development Act Article 3 allocations which are legally restricted for specific purposes.
Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
The PALRF, PCLRF, MRLRF, MMLRF and TDAA3F are reported as Special Revenue Funds of the City and are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting.
Revenues are recognized when they become "susceptible to accrual”, that is, measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. Expenditures are recorded when the liability is incurred.
Special Revenue Funds are reported on a spending or "financial flow" measurement focus. This means that generally, only current assets, current liabilities and deferred inflows and outflows of resources are included on their balance sheets. Statements of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances for Special Revenue Funds generally present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.

24 NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The budgeted amounts presented in this report for comparison to the actual amounts are based on budgets approved by Metro and are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Fair Value Measurement
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application, the City categorizes its fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy that is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the investment. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. Accordingly, the City reports its investments at fair value and recognizes unrealized gain (loss) on investments.
Refer to the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for detailed disclosures regarding the City’s investments policy and fair value measurement disclosures.
Fund Balance Reporting
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions, establishes the fund balance classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which a government is bound to observe constraints imposed upon the use of the resources reported in governmental funds.
The PALRF, PCLRF, MRLRF, MMLRF and TDAA3F report the following fund balance classification as of June 30, 2022 and 2021:
• Restricted - Amounts that are constrained for specific purposes, which are externally imposed by providers, such as creditors, or amounts constrained due to constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. The use of the Funds’ remaining fund balances are restricted for projects approved by Metro.
Information regarding the fund balance reporting policy adopted by the City is described in the City’s ACFR.

NOTE 10 IMPACT OF CORONAVIRUS
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern" and on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. The coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the United States.
It is unknown how long these conditions will last and what the complete financial effect will be to businesses and other affected organizations, including local governmental entities. However, the City’s management believes that the financial impact, if any, will not materially affect the June 30, 2022 funds financial statements.
NOTE 11 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The City has evaluated events subsequent to June 30, 2022 to assess the need for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Such events were evaluated through December 22, 2022 the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Based upon this evaluation, it was determined that no subsequent events occurred that require recognition or additional disclosure in the financial statements.
28 Independent Auditor’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance With Government Auditing Standards To the Honorable Members of the City Council of the
City of Maywood, California and the
Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the Proposition A Local Return Fund, the Proposition C Local Return Fund, the Measure R Local Return Fund, the Measure M Local Return Fund and the Transportation Development Act Article 3 Fund (collectively, the Funds) of the City of Maywood, California (the City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 22, 2022.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the Funds’ financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over the Funds’ financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the Funds’ financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been identified.
29 Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s Proposition A Local Return Fund, Proposition C Local Return Fund, Measure R Local Return Fund, Measure M Local Return Fund and Transportation Development Act Article 3 Fund financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

COMPLIANCE SECTION
30 Independent Auditor’s Report on Compliance
To the Honorable Members of the City Council of the
City of Maywood, California and the
Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority Report on Compliance
Opinion
We have audited the City of Maywood, California’s (the City) compliance with the Proposition A and Proposition C Local Return Guidelines, Measure R Local Return Guidelines, Measure M Local Return Guidelines, Transportation Development Act Article 3, and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s Funding and Allocation Guidelines for Transportation Development Act Article 3 Bicycle and Pedestrian Funds (collectively, the Guidelines) for the year ended June 30, 2022.
In our opinion, the City of Maywood, California complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements of the Guidelines for the year ended June 30, 2022.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards); and the Guidelines. Our responsibilities under those standards and the Guidelines are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance with the Guidelines. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for the City’s compliance with the Guidelines and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the compliance requirements of the Guidelines referred to above.
31 Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the City’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Guidelines will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material, if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the City’s compliance with the requirements of the Guidelines as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Guidelines, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. • Obtain an understanding of the City’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Guidelines, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over compliance.
Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Other Matters
The results of our auditing procedures disclosed an instance of noncompliance with the requirements, which is described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs as Finding #2022-001. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
The City’s response to the noncompliance finding identified in our audit is described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. The City’s response was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of compliance, and accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.
32 Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with the requirements, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with the requirements that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Guidelines. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

40 TDAA3F: Finding #2022-001
Compliance Reference TDA Article 3 Bicycle and Pedestrian Funds Funding Allocation Guidelines, Funding, Lapsing and Accounting
states that, “Agencies may only draw down the funds that they can spend during the fiscal year in which they were allocated. Agencies are not allowed to have a fund balance at the end of the fiscal year. Any funds drawn down and that remain unspent after the end of the fiscal year must be returned to Metro by October 15th of the following fiscal year to be placed on reserve for the agency under the fiscal year in which they were originally allocated.”
Condition The City has unexpended and unencumbered fund balance amounting to $123,070 as of June 30, 2022.
Cause The delay of funding usage was due to staff turnover.
Effect The City was not in compliance with the TDA Article 3 Guidelines and is required to return the amount of $123,070 that was unexpended and unencumbered as of June 30,
2022.
Recommendation We recommend the City establish procedures and internal controls to ensure that amount drawn during the fiscal year is spent and remaining unexpended and unencumbered
funds be returned to Metro at the end of the fiscal year consistent with the TDA Article 3 Guidelines.
Management’s Response The City has requested Metro to extend the use of the unexpended amount through June 30, 2023. The City will
establish the following:
a) Management Controls – through monthly revenue and
budget reports informing Management of:
a.1. new revenues received from the Metro
Transportation Development Act Article 3 Fund; and
a.2. new Transportation Development Act Article 3 Fund
encumbrance and expenditures within the
respective City Department, General Ledger and
Project codes.
b) Internal Controls - through monthly processing of
Transportation Development Act Article 3 Fund
revenue and encumbrance transactions within the
respective Fund, City Department, General Ledger and
Project codes as a means of alerting City Management
of percentage of remaining balances compared to the

AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.
DATE: January 25, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: CLAUDIA ZAVALA, COMMUNITY SERVICES LIAISON
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF APPROVING A HOME SAFETY PROGRAM THAT GIVES
INCENTIVES TO RESIDENTS WHO HOST A NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH MEETING
AND ALLOCATE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT (ARPA) TO FUND THE PROPOSED PROGRAM.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that City Council approve a Home Safety Program that will give incentives to residents who host a Neighborhood Watch meeting.
BACKGROUND:
The City and Sheriff's Department have been hosting Community Watch Meetings that include both Business and Neighborhood Watch components, which are one of the oldest and best-known crime prevention concepts employed in residential areas involving local citizens.
The program allows the Sheriff’s Department and City staff to hear first-hand what’s important to the community. This is not only an opportunity for residents to share concerns and problem-solving ideas, but it’s a chance for us to connect with those we serve personally and professionally, ultimately enhancing the quality of life in Maywood neighborhoods.
Currently, meetings are scheduled quarterly and have been hosted at different business locations throughout Maywood.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Maywood seeks to provide residents with opportunities to further enhance community safety by strengthening neighborhood vigilance and security. In a continued effort to improve public safety, the City is introducing the Home Safety Incentive Program to allow residents who will host a Neighborhood Watch meeting to acquire a fixed amount of public safety equipment such as security cameras. The Home Safety Incentive Program will help recruit and enlist the active participation of residents to host a Neighborhood Watch meeting within their specific residential area with their adjacent neighbors in attendance, while also helping reduce the incidence of crime in the community. As proposed by Councilmember De La Riva at a past City Council meeting, staff researched the cost of incentives, and recommends a Ring doorbell or solar floodlight.
Home Safety Incentive Program:
In order to qualify, residents must meet the following criteria:
• Fill out an interest form to host a Neighborhood Watch meeting (form attached) • Help promote Community Watch meetings
The cost for a Ring doorbell and a solar floodlight is as follows:
• A - Ring Doorbell $99.00 plus tax = $104.01 each x 5 = $520.05 • B - Solar Floodlight $89.00 plus tax = $98.54 each x 5 = $492.70 • C - Total (A plus B) = $1,012.75
The City has been allocated $6M from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). These funds can be used for the proposed programming to promote public safety and violence prevention. It is proposed that five of at least one product be purchased for the remainder of the fiscal year.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are sufficient American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) proceeds available to fund the proposed safety program. The City Council would need to allocate the funds according to the desired product and quantity.

Neighborhood Watch Manual
Manual de Vigilancia Vecinal
What is Neighborhood Watch?
A Neighborhood Watch program is a group of people living in the same area who want to make their neighborhood safer by working together and in conjunction with local law enforcement to reduce crime and improve their quality of life. This group consists of 5- 10 surrounding neighbors, depending on the neighborhood block. Surrounding neighbors include the back, front, and sides of a home. The groups have regular meetings to plan how they will accomplish their specific goals. Neighborhood Watch groups have specific leaders and assign responsibilities. ¿Qué es la Vigilancia Vecinal?
Un programa de Vigilancia Vecinal es un grupo de personas que viven en la misma área que desean hacer que su vecindario sea más seguro trabajando juntos y en conjunto con las autoridades locales para reducir el crimen y mejorar su calidad de vida. El grupo consta de 5 a 10 vecinos de los alrededores, dependiendo de la cuadra del vecindario. Los vecinos circundantes incluyen la parte posterior, frontal y lateral de una casa. Los grupos tienen reuniones periódicas para planificar cómo lograrán sus objetivos específicos. Los grupos de Vigilancia Vecinal tienen líderes específicos y asignan responsabilidades.
Benefits of Neighborhood Watch Program
The Neighborhood Watch program not only offers crime reduction, it provides community members with a greater sense of security, responsibility, and personal control. These groups build community pride, unity, and prepare us for helping ourselves and others in our community.
Beneficios del Programa de Vigilancia Vecinal
El programa de Vigilancia no solo ofrece reducción del crimen, sino que proporciona a los miembros de la comunidad un mayor sentido de seguridad, responsabilidad y control personal. Los grupos fomentan el orgullo y la unidad de la comunidad y nos preparan para ayudarnos a nosotros mismos y a los demás en nuestra comunidad.
Objectives and Purpose
The Neighborhood Watch Program serves as the eyes and ears of East Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department. The group strives to keep the community safe through proper reporting of crimes, and this cooperation will assist the Deputies so that they can provide its community residents with excellent service. The program enlists the active participation of residents to be observant and alert as to what is happening in the neighborhood.
Neighborhood Watch does NOT give residents the power to take law enforcement action when observing suspicious activity and the Sheriffs do not encourage residents to "patrol" neighborhoods or put themselves at risk. Community members are the extra eyes and ears of the Sheriff’s Department and should report suspicious activity.
Objetivos y Propósitos
El Programa de Vigilancia Vecinal sirve como los ojos y oídos del Departamento del Sheriff del Este de Los Ángeles. El grupo se esfuerza por mantener segura a la comunidad mediante la denuncia adecuada de delitos, y esta cooperación ayudará a los diputados para que puedan brindar un excelente servicio a los residentes de la comunidad. El programa alista la participación activa de los residentes para estar atentos y alertas a lo que sucede en el vecindario.
Este programa NO otorga a los residentes el poder de tomar medidas para hacer cumplir la ley cuando observan actividades sospechosas y los alguaciles no alientan a los residentes a "patrullar" los vecindarios o ponerse en riesgo. Los miembros de la comunidad son los ojos y oídos adicionales del Departamento del Sheriff y deben reportar cualquier actividad sospechosa.

AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.
DATE: January 25, 2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: SHIRLEY QUINONES, EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT/DEPUTY CITY CLERK SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 6285 - SETTING THE DAY AND TIME FOR
REGULAR MEETINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL INCLUDING CLOSED SESSIONS
WHEN NECESSARY
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council consider adopting Resolution No. 6285 Setting the Day and Time for Regular City Council Meetings Including Regular Closed Sessions.
BACKGROUND:
The City has two Council Meetings per month: the second and fourth Tuesday starting at 7:00 p.m. Pursuant to Maywood Municipal Code 2-1.01 entitled "Regular meetings", "[r]egular meetings of the City Council shall be held at least once a month and the date and time of the meetings shall be set by City Council resolution pursuant to Government Code Section 36805." Accordingly, Staff is bringing forward this item to adopt a Resolution to set the day and time of City Council meetings.
DISCUSSION:
Each meeting requires a separate agenda with staff reports, all of which takes time and requires the involvement of all department heads. In addition, we contract with a translator and have Sheriff personnel attend each meeting. The inherent difficulty of holding two meetings every month is the amount of staff time that is required for each meeting and the additional expense of keeping City Hall open and staffed twice per month. At times there have been months where there is not sufficient business to hold two meetings and at those times meetings have been canceled.
Staff suggests that the City Council consider the following options:
1. Change the regular City Council meeting to once a month on the fourth Wednesday of each month and change the start time to 5:30 pm for closed sessions (only when needed) so the public will still have time to participate in those meetings and the start time to 6:00 pm for the City Council's regular meeting.
2. Alternatively, remain with two monthly meetings with an earlier start time for closed session items.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If the City Council chooses to only hold one meeting per month, there will be savings in costs related to staff, building utilities, and translators.
