AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.
DATE: August 27, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: RIMO HANSON, FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 6429 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 ACH registers and payroll wire transfers dated 7/8/2025 through 8/15/2025 and adopt Resolution NO. 6429 approving the Warrants for Payment.
BACKGROUND:
Staff provides warrant registers and wire transfers to City Council as part of Management Controls. 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 and adequate support documentation.
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's adopted City Budget.
A1.1 Prepayment - 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 the Summary Warrants for
Payment and Wire Transfers/ACH Transactions 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 the Summary Warrants for Payment and Wire Transfers/AcH Transactions 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 ASummary 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 BDetail Warrants for Payment) that details information about each check issued for Prepaid and or to-be-paid for Regular Payments. These "disbursements" are accounted for in the FY 2024-25 and FY 2025-26 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 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.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total disbursements for Warrant Registers are $2,073,150.85 for the period from 7/8/2025 to 8/15/2025.
This amount consists of Warrant Registers of $1,009,681.60, ACH registers of $937,634.73 and Payroll Wire Transfers of $125,834.52.

AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.
DATE: August 27, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: DAISY GUERRERO, DEPUTY DIRECTORY OF BUILDING AND PLANNING SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 6430 APPROVING AND
AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND RECORDATION OF A LAND USE COVENANT (DEED RESTRICTION) AND APPROVAL OF A SITE ACCESS AGREEMENT BOTH FOR THE FORMER ARMSTRONG/W.W. HENRY SITE CLOSURE AT SPEAKER
ANTHONY RENDON RIVERFRONT PARK
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council (i) adopt Resolution No. 6430, which approves a Land Use Covenant (Deed Restriction) with the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board) for the Former Armstrong/W.W. Henry site located within Speaker Anthony Rendon Riverfront Park, as required for environmental compliance, in the form negotiated, finalized and approved by the City Attorney and City Manager and authorize the City Manager to execute and record the Deed Restriction; and (ii) approve a Site Access Agreement with ARDEX Americas to facilitate the removal of remediation infrastructure, proper abandonment of site monitoring wells, and demolition of the Dual-Phase Extraction (DPE) system compound in accordance with Water Board directives, in a form negotiated, finalized and approved by the City Attorney and City Manager and authorize the City Manager to execute the Site Access Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The Former Armstrong/W.W. Henry site, located within Speaker Anthony Rendon Riverfront Park, was historically used for industrial operations. Past operations resulted in soil contamination requiring remediation and long-term monitoring. Since redevelopment into public open space, environmental oversight has continued under the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board.
On July 8, 2025, City staff met with representatives from the Water Board, the Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust, and Amicus Environmental to review the final steps required for case closure. Two key actions are necessary to complete this process:
• Land Use Covenant (Deed Restriction): The Water Board requires the recordation of a covenant imposing long-term land use restrictions to protect public health and safety. This covenant prohibits sensitive uses such as residential, hospital, or school development and requires ongoing compliance with site management practices.
• Site Access Agreement with ARDEX: As the responsible party for remediation, ARDEX Americas must
decommission the site’s remaining monitoring wells and remove the DPE system compound. The proposed Site Access Agreement grants ARDEX and its contractors temporary access to perform these closure activities.
DISCUSSION:
Approval of both agreements will fulfill the City’s obligations under the Water Board’s closure requirements and allow ARDEX to complete the technical remediation steps necessary for case closure. • The Land Use Covenant will run with the land in perpetuity, ensuring ongoing protections for park users and the surrounding community.
• The Site Access Agreement establishes clear terms for ARDEX’s work, including liability, insurance, site restoration, and responsibility for investigation-derived waste disposal.
Together, these actions will facilitate final remediation and ensure the long-term safety of Speaker Anthony Rendon Riverfront Park. The agreements are subject to the Water Board approval so approval of these agreements will be in the final form negotiated and approved by the City Attorney and City Manager.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact with this action.

COVENANT AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESTRICTION ON PROPERTY
FORMER ARMSTRONG/W.W. HENRY PROPERTY
ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NUMBER (APN): 6314-030-900
5920 ALAMO AVENUE, MAYWOOD, CA 90270
LARWQCB SITE CLEANUP PROGRAM NO. 0811
This Covenant and Environmental Restriction on Property ("Covenant") is made as of the 27 day of August, 2025, by the City of Maywood ("Covenantor") who is the Owner of record of that certain property identified as APN 6314-030-900 and situated at 5920 Alamo Avenue, in the City of Maywood, County of Los Angeles, State of California, which is more particularly described in Exhibits A and B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (hereinafter referred to as the "Burdened Property"), for the benefit of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region ("Board"), with reference to the following facts:
A. Nature of Covenant. This Covenant is an environmental covenant provided for by Civil Code section 1471 and required by the Board pursuant to Water Code section [13304 FOR PARTIAL CLOSURE (E.G., SOILS ONLY) OR 13307.1 FOR FULL CLOSURE] because the Board has determined that the Burdened Property is not suitable for unrestricted use and that a land use restriction is necessary for the protection of present or future human health, safety, or the environment as result of the presence of hazardous materials, as defined in section 25260 of the Health and Safety Code, in the soil and/or groundwater at the Burdened Property.
B. Contamination of the Burdened Property. The [soil, soil vapor, groundwater] at the Burdened Property were contaminated by multiple industrial manufacturing processes from the 1940s until 1999 when the former W.W. Henry site, the former Precision Arrow property (located north of the former W.W. Henry site), and portions of the Pemaco Superfund site (located east of the W.W. Henry site) were redeveloped into a park operated by the City of Maywood. Before its current use as a park, the most recent use of the site was as a manufacturing facility formerly owned by the W.W. Henry Company/Armstrong World Industries. Organic solvents were used to manufacture flooring adhesive products. The known contamination originally consisted of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) including benzene and toluene in the eastern portion of the site, and tetrachloroethene (PCE),
trichloroethene (TCE), 1,1-dichloroethane (1,1-DCA), 1,1-dichloroethene (1,1- DCE), 1,1,1-trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA) for the western portion of the site, which constitute hazardous materials. By means of soil vapor extraction and dual-phase extraction applied at the site from 2005 to 2013, the known contamination has been reduced to less than laboratory - Practical Quantitation Limits (PQLs) or Maximum Contaminant Limits (MCLs) in groundwater, with the exception of cis-1,2- Dichloroethene which slightly exceeded the MCL of 6 ug/L (6.13 ug/L at MW-20) during the second half of 2024. In soil vapor, the known contamination has been reduced to less than San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board (SFRWQCB) Environmental Screening Levels (ESLs), with the exception of PCE which slightly exceeded the ESL of 67 ug/m3 in the Western portion of the site (maximum concentration of 87 ug/m3 at ARSV09-10) during the most recent soil vapor sampling conducted in November 2021. Residual toluene concentrations in soil near the former W.W. Henry UST area are lower than the SFRWQCB Leaching to Groundwater ESL, and toluene is not detected in downgradient, perched groundwater.
ARDEX is the successor in interest to WW Henry and the party responsible for all matters pertaining to site contamination, remediation and regulatory compliance.
The City of Maywood is the current property owner.
C. Exposure Pathways. The contaminants addressed in this Covenant are present in the soil, soil vapor and groundwater at the Burdened Property. Without the mitigation measures which have been performed on the Burdened Property, exposure to these contaminants could have taken place via dermal contact, inhalation or ingestion by humans. The risk of public exposure to the contaminants has been mitigated by the remediation and controls described herein.
D. Land Uses and Population Potentially Affected. The Burdened Property is used as a public park and is adjacent to mixed commercial, industrial, and residential land uses.
E. Disclosure and Sampling. Disclosure of the presence of hazardous materials on the Burdened Property has been made to the Board and extensive semi-annual sampling of the Burdened Property has been conducted from 2005 through 2024.
F. Use of Burdened Property. Covenantor desires and intends that in order to benefit the Board, and to protect present and future human health, safety, or the environment, the Burdened Property shall be used in a manner consistent with this Covenant as to avoid potential harm to persons or property that might result from any hazardous materials that might remain on portions of the Burdened Property.
ARTICLE I

AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.
DATE: August 27, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: RIMO HANSON, FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 6431 OF THE SUCCESSOR
AGENCY OF THE FORMER REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF
MAYWOOD APPROVING THE AMENDED RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT SCHEDULE ("ROPS") FOR 2025-26B FISCAL PERIOD JANUARY 1, 2026, THROUGH JUNE 30, 2026 FOR DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE SUBMISSION
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council takes the following actions:
1. Receive and file the Amended Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) of the Successor Agency of the Former Redevelopment Agency (RDA) of the City of Maywood for the period January 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026;
2. Authorize Successor Agency staff to provide any additional requested information to the Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller and/or California Department of Finance to substantiate the information contained in the amended ROPS and effectuate said schedule; and
3. Adopt Resolution No. 6431, a Resolution of the Successor Agency for the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Maywood Redevelopment Agency Approving the amended Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for the period January 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026 (ROPS 25-26B) Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34177.
BACKGROUND:
The redevelopment dissolution laws (AB 1x 26, et al.) established a comprehensive statutory process for the dissolution and wind down of all redevelopment agencies (RDA). Pursuant to Health and Safety Code (HSC) Section 34177, each Successor Agency (SA) was required to submit a ROPS to the California Department of Finance (DOF) every six months. On September 22, 2015, the Governor signed SB 107 which revised the timeline for the preparation of the ROPS from a bi-annual process to an annual process for the fiscal period beginning July 1, 2016.
Commencing in 2019, SB 107 also requires the transition from local oversight boards to county oversight boards. SB 107 calls for counties with more than 40 Oversight Boards (i.e., Los Angeles County) to be consolidated into five Oversight Boards. The five consolidated Oversight Boards shall have jurisdiction over each Successor Agency located within its borders. Maywood is within the jurisdiction of the Los Angeles County Oversight Board, Fourth District.
Pursuant to AB 1x 26, et al., two documents (see Attachments) are being presented to the SA Board for consideration of approval:
1. Amended Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS 25-26B) - Summary outlining A - Enforceable Obligations Funded; E - Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF), and H) Current Period Enforceable Obligations for January 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026 - ATTACHMENT 1
2. Amended Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS 25-26B) - ROPS Detail January 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026 - ATTACHMENT 2
DISCUSSION:
HSC § 34177 (o)(1)(E) of the Dissolution Law provides that once per Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule period, and no later than October 1, a successor agency may submit one amendment to the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule approved by the department pursuant to this subdivision, if the oversight board makes a finding that a revision is necessary for the payment of approved enforceable obligations during the second one-half of the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule period, which shall be defined as January 1 to June 30, inclusive. A successor agency may only amend the amount requested for payment of approved enforceable obligations.
This Amended ROPS 25-26 must first be approved by this Successor Agency, then sent to the Fourth District Oversight Board (“Oversight Board”) for approval before it can be submitted to the DOF, State Controller’s Office, and the County Auditor-Controller no later than October 1, 2025 Amendment to ROPS FY 2025-26B-Item No. 15: Bank Trustee Administrative Fees Bank Trustee Administrative Fees -(item #15 on ROPS) $6,000: Staff initially requested $6,000 for bank trustee administrative fees for the ROPS FY25-26, which was approved by the Department of Finance (DOF).
However, in March 2025, during discussions with the bond services consultant, Kosmont Financial Services, staff were informed that the Series 2017A-1 & 2 privately-placed Tax Allocation Bonds (TABs), executed on 10/18/2017, are subject to continuing disclosure requirements which had previously been overlooked.
Since that time, staff have engaged Kosmont Financial Services, who already supports the City with annual reporting on these bonds, to prepare the required continuing disclosure reporting for Fiscal Year 2021 through 2024.
As a result, staff are now requesting an additional $7,500 to cover the one-time cost of preparing and submitting these past-due reports. In addition, staff are also requesting $3,000 for continuing disclosure services related to the current fiscal year. The total additional funding request is $10,500.
CONCLUSION: Following the Successor Agency of the Maywood Community Redevelopment Agency's (City Council's) adoption of the Amended ROPS 2025-2026B (January through June 2026), the attached Resolution will be sent to the Los Angeles County Fourth Supervisorial District Consolidated Oversight Board ("Oversight Board") for approval and then submitted to the State of California's Department of Finance (DOF) by October 1st.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The preparation and submittal of the Amended Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule is for the purpose of allowing the Successor Agency to pay its enforceable obligations for the period from January 1, 2026 to June 30, 2026. Upon the DOF approving the Amended ROPS 25-26 as submitted, it is anticipated that the Successor Agency will receive $10,500 of Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund ("RPTTF"), which will pay for the Series 2017-Tax Allocation Bonds' continuing disclosure fees. If this request is disapproved by the DOF, the $10,500 will be funded by the City's General Fund.

3. Authorize the City Manager to release a retention payment of $62,117.35 to Onyx Paving Company, Inc. within 35 days following recordation of the Notice of Completion pursuant to contract documents.
BACKGROUND:
On January 6, 2025, staff advertised Notice Inviting Bids (NIB) on the local newspaper in conformance with City of Maywood Municipal Code Section 3-7.04. Bids were due on February 5, 2025, at 2:00 PM.
On February 5, 2025, at 2:00 PM, a total of ten (8) bids were received. Staff conducted a bid analysis based on the base bid amounts for the apparent low bidder, Onyx Paving Company, Inc., and verified their CA contractor’s licensing, Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) registration, state and federal debarment files, and references. Based on the bid analysis, Onyx Paving Company, Inc. was found to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
On February 26, 2025, the City Council awarded a construction contract for $1,123,000.00 to Onyx Paving Company, Inc. for the Pavement Rehabilitation Program FY2024-2025.

AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.
DATE: August 27, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: JERRY GOMEZ, PUBLIC WORKS SUPERINTENDENT
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 6432 APPROVING THE
AMENDED AND RESTATED JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS AGREEMENT FOR THE
LOS ANGELES GATEWAY REGION INTEGRATED REGIONAL WATER
MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No.6432 approving the Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Authority (JPA) Agreement for the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Authority (GWMA).
BACKGROUND:
On April 10, 2025, GWMA’s Governing Board approved an Amended and Restated JPA. The City of Maywood later adopted this JPA Agreement on May 28, 2025. Shortly thereafter, the City was made aware that the GWMA required a Resolution approving the adoption of the JPA Agreement. Before the City Council, is the requested resolution.
The Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority (“Gateway Water Management Authority” or “GWMA”) was established in 2007 by a Joint Powers Authority Agreement (“JPA”). The agency was formed to address the state’s efforts to encourage and prioritize regional, multi-party, and/or multi-benefit projects for competitive funding. Because GWMA’s membership and responsibilities have grown and evolved since its inception, the JPA Agreement was amended to best reflect current and anticipated activities, roles, and responsibilities.
DISCUSSION:
The Gateway Water Management Authority was formed in 2007 to address water supply reliability, water quality, stormwater, and flood control in the Gateway Region of Los Angeles County. With a population of more than 2 million people, GWMA members have successfully worked together to develop regional projects, and seek and receive local, state and/or federal funds to support those projects.
GWMA members are made up of Gateway cities and water agencies that represent distinctive hydrogeological, topographic, demographic, political, and economic elements. Membership in the GWMA has proven to successfully communicate the Gateway region’s needs with a single voice increasing opportunities for project and funding partners.
On April 10th, GWMA's Governing Board approved the amended JPA Agreement.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached Resolution approving the JPA agreement, which was approved by the City Council on May 28, 2025.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact related to the approval of this Resolution.

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS
AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated for reference as of April 10, 2025, is entered into by and between the Cities of Artesia, Bell, Bell Gardens, Bellflower, Cerritos, Commerce, Compton, Cudahy, Downey, Hawaiian Gardens, Huntington Park, La Mirada, Lakewood, Long Beach, Lynwood, Maywood, Montebello, Norwalk, Paramount, Pico Rivera, Santa Fe Springs, Signal Hill, South Gate, Vernon, and Whittier, the Central Basin Municipal Water District, the Long Beach Public Utilities Department (acting through its Board of Public Utilities Commissioners), and the Water Replenishment District of Southern California, all of which are public agencies and/or municipal corporations.

RECITALS
(i) In 2007, the cities of Cerritos, Downey, Lakewood, Long Beach, Norwalk, Paramount, Santa Fe Springs, Signal Hill, and South Gate initially entered into a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (“Original Agreement”) and created the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Authority (“GWMA”). Since its creation, additional Members, as listed above in the preamble, have been added to the GWMA pursuant to the provisions of the Original Agreement.
(ii) Each Member is a “public agency,” as defined in the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, California Government Code Section 6500, et seq., and all are authorized to enter into this Agreement in order to exercise powers common to these public agencies. (iii) This Agreement creates a public entity, separate from its Members, that is capable of carrying out the purposes of this Agreement.
(iv) Each Member is a “local agency,” as defined in the Integrated Regional Water Management Planning Act, California Water Code Section 10530, et seq. (“IRWMPA”). As of the effective date of this Agreement, all Members function within the County of Los Angeles. (v) It remains the intent of the Members in entering into this Agreement to operate as a “regional water management group,” as defined in and authorized by the IRWMPA, in order to (a) implement a regional water resources management plan that will protect and enhance regional water supplies, and to otherwise further the purposes of the IRWMPA, with respect to the Members’ jurisdictional areas (collectively, “Gateway Region”) and (b) perform other regional responsibilities for water development and management, as described herein. (vi) All of the cities which are Members are permittees under the “Waste Discharge Requirements and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Discharges within the Coastal Watersheds of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties,” NPDES Permit No. CAS004004 (“MS4 Permit”), as amended from time to time by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region.

(vii) The Members desire to amend and restate the Original Agreement in order to further state their intent to cooperate with each other to implement certain portions of the Watershed Management Programs and Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Programs, as those programs are described in the MS4 Permit, and to perform such other responsibilities for water quality, as described herein.
(viii) The Members acknowledge that the GWMA may contract and cooperate with other regional water management groups and agencies to develop, administer, update, and implement, an Integrated Water Management Plan for the Greater Los Angeles County area.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, terms, conditions and covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
1. Recitals Incorporated. The recitals set forth above, are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement.
2. Purposes. This Agreement is made pursuant to the provisions of the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, relating to the exercise of powers common to the Members. The purpose of this Agreement is to jointly exercise the powers set forth herein as to the Gateway Region, and, acting as a “regional water management group,” to jointly prepare, contract for the preparation and implementation of, and/or adopt a “regional plan” for the management of water resources, and for implementation and operation of “qualified projects or programs,” and/or the preparation of “qualified reports and studies,” as those quoted terms are defined in the IRWMPA. In accordance with the IRWMPA, the regional water resources management plan may more specifically address any of the matters set forth and more fully described in California Water Code Section 10540(c) including, but not limited to, the following: ground water management planning; urban water management planning; the preparation of a water supply assessment; the planning, construction or modification of a flood management project; the planning, construction or modification of a water recycling project; the planning, construction or modification of a domestic water supply facility to meet safe drinking water standards; the planning, construction or modification of a drainage water management unit, and/or the implementation of a water conservation program. In addition, the purpose of this Agreement is to implement and from time to time revise certain portions of the Watershed Management Programs and Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Programs, as those programs are described in the MS4 Permit, that have been developed by the Members and to perform such other responsibilities to promote water quality within the Gateway Region. Notwithstanding the citation of specific legal authority for the foregoing, the Authority may exercise any other statutory authority which may now exist or be subsequently enacted to deal with ground water, storm water, water recharge, water recycling, water supply, water storage, water treatment, water drainage, water conservation or any related urban water management subject within the purview of local or regional water agencies and MS4 operators.
3. Establishment. Pursuant to the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, the Original Agreement established a Joint Powers Authority which is a regional water management group and a public entity separate from the parties to this Agreement. The name of the entity is the “Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Authority” and may be referred to as the “Gateway Water Management Authority.” The GWMA shall carry out its functions through a Governing Board, as described in this Agreement.

12664-0001\3009909v6.doc

12. Eligibility for Membership and Admission. Any local public agency that is a member of the Gateway Cities Council of Governments, or that has statutory authority over a water supply with the Gateway Cities Region, may apply to become a member of the GWMA pursuant to an action taken by the legislative body of such public agency and may become a Member upon a super-majority vote of the Governing Board and execution of this Agreement. At the time of approval of admission, the Governing Board may request that the new Member make a payment of any costs incurred by the GWMA to date, to the extent the benefit of those costs will be derived or will continue to be derived after the new Member agency has joined the GWMA.
13. Accounts, Reports, and Audits. The following procedures shall be followed to ensure strict accountability of all funds of the GWMA and to provide for accurate reporting of receipts and disbursements of said funds:
(a) The Auditor shall either prepare or contract with a certified public accountant to prepare an annual audit of the GWMA’s accounts and records. The minimum requirements for such audits shall be those prescribed by the State Controller for special districts under California Government Code Section 26909 or successor statute and shall conform to generally accepted accounting principles.

Except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable law, no Member shall be individually responsible for any of the debts, liabilities or obligations of the GWMA, and all such debts, liabilities and obligations shall exclusively be those of the GWMA.
(a) Indemnification.
(1) Each Member agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the GWMA and all other Members, and employees, officers and agents of the GWMA, free and harmless with respect to any and all claims, liabilities, losses, and damages, including legal fees and expenses, to the extent arising out of or connected with the acts or omissions, or breach or default, of such Member, or any person or entity acting on behalf of such Member, in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement. (2) The GWMA shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless, jointly and severally, each of its Members and the Members’ officers, officials, employees, agents, and representatives with respect to any loss, damage, injury, claim, litigation, or liability, including attorney’s fees and costs, arising out of or in any way related to the creation, Docusign Envelope ID: D7FF93BD-DFF6-448B-A803-07713222C216
12664-0001\3009909v6.doc
operation, functioning, decisions, or actions of the GWMA or the GWMA’s officers, officials, employees, agents, or representatives.
(3) The provision of indemnity set forth in this Section shall not be construed to obligate the GWMA to pay any liability, including but not limited to punitive damages, which by law would be contrary to public policy or otherwise unlawful. (b) Tort Liability. Government Code Section 895.2 imposes certain tort liability jointly upon public agencies solely by reason of such public agencies being parties to an agreement as defined in Government Code Section 895. Therefore, the Member public agencies, as among themselves, pursuant to the authorization contained in Government Code Sections 895.4 and 895.6, each assume the full liability imposed upon it or any of its officers, agents, employees or representatives by law for injury caused by a negligent or wrongful action or inaction, or omission, occurring in the performance of this Agreement, to the same extent that such liability would be imposed in the absence of Government Code Section 895.2. To achieve this purpose, each Member public agency indemnifies and holds harmless each other party and the GWMA, for any loss, cost or expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees and consultant fees that may be imposed upon or incurred by such other Member public agency or the GWMA solely by virtue of Government Code Section 895.2. (c) Funds for Defense. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) or (b), above, by a super-majority vote of the Governing Board, the Board may approve the expenditure of GWMA funds to defend, indemnify and hold the GWMA, members of the Governing Board, and/or any employee or agent of the GWMA, free and harmless from claims and liabilities arising in connection with their actions taken in good faith, and while within the scope of their duties being performed on behalf of the GWMA. (d) Self-Insure. The GWMA may self-insure or purchase insurance, and/or-, require the Members to self-insure or purchase insurance, in order to comply with any of the defense and indemnity requirements herein.
(e) Privileges and Immunities. All of the privileges and immunities from liability, exemptions from laws, ordinances, and rules, all pension, relief, disability, worker’s compensation, and other benefits which apply to the activity of officers, agents, or employees of any Member when performing their respective functions within the territorial limits of the Member, shall apply to them to the same degree and extent while engaged in the performance on any of their functions and duties extraterritorially hereunder.
15. Withdrawal by a Member. Subject to the provisions of this section, any Member may withdraw from the GWMA by providing the Governing Board no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice including a copy of the initiating resolution by the legislative body of the withdrawing Member. The withdrawing Member shall pay all unpaid contributions that were approved by the Governing Board more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the date of the notice of withdrawal. No Member may withdraw unless and until it has satisfied any and all outstanding contractual obligations, or other indebtedness for which such Member would otherwise be obligated, in whole or in part, to pay. “Outstanding contractual obligations” includes the obligations for payments on contracts which the GWMA has entered into and are legally binding but where additional services will be performed in the future, until the contract has been fully performed.

16. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement by the GWMA, all of the existing assets shall be divided and distributed for public purposes in such manner as shall be determined by a super-majority vote of the Governing Board provided, however, that this Agreement and the Governing Board shall continue to exist for the purposes of disposing of all claims, administering the distribution of assets, and performing any other functions necessary to conclude the affairs of the GWMA. This Agreement may not be terminated so long as the GWMA has any outstanding contractual obligations or other indebtedness.
17. Notices. Notices permitted or required to be sent pursuant to this Agreement shall be sent by registered mail, return receipt requested, or reputable overnight delivery service, addressed as follows:
To Member public agencies at each Member public agency’s official business address, personally addressed to that agency’s Governing Board member;
To the GWMA at 16401 Paramount Boulevard, Paramount,
California 90723. This address shall be the GWMA’s official business address. This address may be changed by approval of the Governing Board and the giving of written notice to each Member at their official business address.
18. Amendment. Except for amendments that change the GWMA’s powers, duties, indemnification requirements, or financial responsibilities, this Agreement may be amended by a super-majority vote of the Governing Board. Otherwise, this Agreement may be amended by a majority vote of the Governing Board and by a majority vote of the Members acting by resolution of their legislative bodies.
19. Legal Actions.
(a) Remedies. The GWMA is hereby authorized to take any and all legal or equitable actions, including but not limited to, seeking an injunction and/or specific performance, necessary or permitted by law, to enforce this Agreement. (b) Applicable Law and Forum. The laws of the State of California shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement, without regard to conflict of law principles. Legal actions must be instituted and maintained in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, in any other appropriate court in that county, or in the Federal District Court in the Central District of California.
(c) Acceptance of Service of Process. In the event that any legal action is commenced against the GWMA, service of process on the GWMA shall be made by personal service upon the Executive Officer or Secretary of the GWMA, or in such other manner as may be provided by law.

12664-0001\3009909v6.doc
liberally construed to effectuate its purposes. Should any part, term or provision of this Agreement be decided by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or in conflict with any law of the State of California or federal law, or otherwise be rendered unenforceable or invalid, the validity of the remaining portions and/or provisions shall not be affected thereby.
21. Conflicts of Interest. No officers, official, or employee of the GWMA shall have any financial interest, direct or indirect, in the GWMA nor shall any such person participate in any decision relating to the GWMA which affects his or her financial interests, in violation of any State law or regulation.
22. Books and Records. All books, records, accounts, and documents of the GWMA shall be available at any reasonable time to the Directors and, to the extent provided by the California Public Records Act (Government Code Section 7920.000, et seq.) shall be public records.

AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.
DATE: August 27, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: MOHAMMAD MOSTAHKAMI, PE
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR PUBLIC
FACILITIES ADA IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to formally advertise a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Engineering Services for the Preparation of Plans, Specifications, and Estimates for Public Facilities ADA Improvements Project.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Maywood is required under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to assess its services, policies, and practices to ensure they do not discriminate against individuals with disabilities, and to develop a Transition Plan identifying the physical changes needed to achieve “program access.” On June 26, 2024, following a competitive RFP process, the City awarded a professional services agreement to Bureau Veritas to conduct a comprehensive self-evaluation of the City’s programs, services, public facilities, and pedestrian infrastructure in the public right-of-way (PROW). This process included extensive public outreach to ensure community feedback was incorporated.
The final ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan was completed on May 2, 2025, and adopted by the City Council on June 25, 2025. The Plan identified accessibility deficiencies in both public facilities and the PROW, evaluated for compliance with Title II of the ADA and Chapter 11B of the California Building Code.
DISCUSSION:
While the Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan addresses public facilities and PROW deficiencies, this RFP focuses exclusively on the design of ADA-recommended accessibility improvements for public facilities. The Maywood Cesar Chavez Library, Pixley Park, and Riverfront Park, although identified in the Plan, are excluded from this project because they are currently undergoing independent improvement or renovation projects.
The facilities included in this project are:
• Benito Juarez Park – 5515 Maywood Avenue
• City Hall – 4319 East Slauson Avenue
• Maywood Boxing Club – 4747 East 56th Street
• Maywood Park & Recreation – 4801 East 58th Street
• Pine Avenue Park – 5313 Pine Avenue
• Public Works Yard – 5600 Heliotrope Avenue
To ensure that accessibility barriers with the greatest impact are addressed first, the City has adopted a multiphase implementation strategy:
• Phase One – City Hall
• Phase Two – Maywood Park & Recreation
• Phase Three – Benito Juárez Park, Maywood Boxing Club, Pine Avenue Park • Phase Four – Public Works Yard
•
Within each facility, accessibility barriers are prioritized using the following levels:
• Priority 1: Path of travel
• Priority 2: Elements used for programs, services, and activities • Priority 3: Restrooms and signage
• Priority 4: Access to auxiliary features and amenities • Priority 5: Employee-only areas
To proceed with the design phase, the attached Request for Proposals (RFP) has been prepared and ready for release through Planet bids. The RFP seeks engineering services for the preparation of plans, specifications, and engineering estimates for ADA-recommended improvements identified in the Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan at the above-listed facilities. Funds in the amount of $100,000 are budgeted in the 2025/26 CIP for the ADA improvements.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the release of the RFP for Engineering services for the Public Facilities ADA Improvements Project.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The release of the RFP has no immediate impact on the General Fund. However, the City has allocated $100,000 from the General Fund in the FY 2025-26 budget to support this project.

1 1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to select the most qualified Consultant to provide engineering services for the preparation of Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) for public facilities ADA improvements identified in the City’s recently adopted Accessibility Title II Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan dated May 2, 2025. The project scope will address physical barriers to accessibility within City-owned buildings, parks, and other public facilities, in compliance with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Chapter 11B of the California Building Code. Public right-ofway (PROW) deficiencies identified in the assessment are excluded from this contract.
The Consultant’s work will include, but is not limited to, architectural, structural, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing plans; other necessary building-related design services; and geotechnical studies if required. The City intends to award one Professional Services Agreement for this work on a not-to-exceed basis.
2. BACKGROUND
The City of Maywood is initiating ADA public facility improvements identified in its recently adopted Accessibility Title II Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan. This project addresses physical barriers to accessibility within City-owned buildings, parks, and other public facilities, in compliance with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Chapter 11B of the California Building Code.
The work will be limited to the public facilities listed below only and will exclude recommended improvements in the public right-of-way (PROW):

• Maywood Park & Recreation – 4801 E 58th Street

Improvements may include, but are not limited to, accessible parking upgrades, building entryway modifications, interior route adjustments, restroom accessibility improvements, compliant signage, and enhancements to program-related amenities, as prioritized in the Transition Plan.
Barrier removal of physical/structural barriers to accessibility will not be instantaneous, but rather, it will occur over the course of several years. In order to prioritize barrier removal that will have the most impactful effect, the City of Maywood has adopted a multi-phase strategy.
• Phase One – City Hall
• Phase Two – Maywood Park and Recreation
2 • Phase Three – Benito Jaurez Park, Maywood Boxing Club, Pine Avenue Park
• Phase Four – Public Works Yard
In addition to barrier removal based on a facility phasing, barrier removal at each individual facility will be prioritized further according to their priority level.
The following priority levels have been used to assign priorities to barriers within each property and facility.
• Priority 1: Path of Travel
• Priority 2: Elements used for programs, services, and activities • Priority 3: Restrooms, Signage
• Priority 4: Access to Auxiliary Features and Amenities • Priority 5: Employee-only Areas

AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.
DATE: August 27, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: MIGUEL LEON, DEPUTY CITY CLERK/ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF THE APPROVAL OF A RIGHT-OF-WAY USE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE CITY OF MAYWOOD AND THE GATEWAY CITIES COUNCIL OF
GOVERNMENTS FOR THE INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE OF
THE GATEWAY CITIES REGIONAL FIBER OPTIC NETWORK (GCRFON) RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Approve the Right-of-Way (ROW) Use Agreement between the City of Maywood and the Gateway Cities Council of Governments (GCCOG) for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Gateway Cities Regional Fiber Optic Network (GCRFON), in the form negotiated, finalized and approved by the City Attorney and City Manager; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement, and any other necessary documents to carry out the intent of this action, in a form approved by the City Attorney BACKGROUND:
The Gateway Cities Council of Governments (GCCOG) is leading the development of the Gateway Cities Regional Fiber Optic Network (GCRFON), a regional broadband infrastructure initiative aimed at connecting public agency facilities across Southeast Los Angeles County with high-speed fiber optic communications. This initiative will provide secure and reliable regional communications that support improved municipal operations, emergency preparedness, and digital access for local communities.
The GCCOG pursued a $46.1 million grant from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and entered into a Joint Build Agreement with the California Department of Technology (CDT) to design and construct the Gateway Cities Regional Fiber Optic Network (Network) for a total of $103 million, for the purpose of furthering digital equity and expanding connectivity, competition, affordability, and access in the Gateway region.
Private companies have traditionally been responsible for deploying the infrastructure required to provide Internet access to communities; however, they have not consistently invested in the infrastructure to deliver high-speed broadband via a fiber network. In an effort to satisfy this unserved need, local governments have actively analyzed the benefits of investing in fiber network infrastructures to facilitate broadband service.
One of the benefits of investing in a broadband infrastructure is closing the digital divide and enhancing economic development by supplying high-speed Internet access to residents and businesses. Additionally, businesses that require extensive bandwidth for conducting business are able to capitalize on the community’s
infrastructure investment.
The City of Maywood, a participating member of the GCCOG, has been identified as one of the cities included in this multi-jurisdictional project. As a part of its membership in the GCCOG, the City has engaged in the development of the Network, which is being designed to deliver high-speed broadband to the city halls of participating cities and create an opportunity for greater broadband connectivity for residents and businesses in those cities.
DISCUSSION:
The Network is being designed to establish 885,444 feet of new fiber optic backbone cable throughout the Gateway region and interconnect with sections of the Statewide Middle Mile Backbone Network (MMBN).
Additionally, the Network is being designed to deliver quality scalable broadband to 4,254 unserved locations as determined by CPUC standards.
For Maywood, the network design includes routes along the City’s public rights-of-way, which will be accessed using underground conduit or aerial lines placed on existing poles. While the final routing within Maywood may evolve, all infrastructure will remain within previously disturbed public rights-of-way.
The current design includes 489,046 feet of underground fiber and 184,402 feet of aerial fiber, an upsizing of an existing fiber plant. It will also utilize the existing partner fiber network. The underground routes for the fiber will be placed within existing rights-of-way while all aerial routes will be attached to pre-existing poles. The fiber routes will ensure redundancy and future capacity with the construction of new and existing conduits within previously disturbed rights-of-way within a 288 strand of fiber cable.
The attached Right-of-Way Use Agreement between the City and the GCCOG will allow the City to utilize the Network by granting the GCCOG access to and encroachment of the City’s rights-of-way in perpetuity for the purpose of installing, operating, and maintaining the Network. Exhibit A to the Agreement shows the current network design within the boundary of the City, and Exhibit B shows the current entire network design.
The Agreement will grant the City the right to use two (2) strands of dark fiber for municipal purposes (City Strands). The CGCOG will maintain the City Strands for the useful life of the asset. However, the City will be responsible for any required electronics, connections, improvements and equipment required to utilize the City Strands. The City will not have the right to transfer or assign the use of the City Strands.
The network design as depicted in Exhibits A and B of the Agreement may change due to factors unforeseen before and even during construction, which is common for a project of this magnitude. The GCCOG will work with City staff throughout the construction of the Network within the City’s boundaries and will provide to the City as-built maps within sixty (60) days of completion of construction and final inspections.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact on the General Fund. All project costs for design, installation, maintenance, and restoration within the City will be covered by the GCCOG through its grants. City staff time associated with permit review and inspection will be coordinated through standard encroachment processes.
However, if the City elects to activate and utilize its allocated two (2) dark fiber strands in the future, it will be responsible for any costs related to network electronics, installation, connections, or upgrades necessary to enable and maintain municipal use. These future costs are currently undefined and would be evaluated and budgeted separately when activation is pursued.

BY: OKAN DEMIRCI, CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AWARDING A COOPERATIVE PURCHASING AGREEMENT TO ZOOM RECREATION, INC. FOR THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF NEW PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT AT BENITO JUÁREZ PARK FOR PARK
IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT FY 24-25
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council award a Cooperative Purchasing Agreement to Zoom Recreation, Inc. in the amount of $176,756.58 for the purchase and installation of new playground equipment at Benito Juarez Park and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract in a form approved by the City Attorney.
BACKGROUND:
The project includes the construction of new playground equipment, rubberized safety surfacing and related work at Benito Juarez Park. The new playground equipment design layout for Benito Juarez Park was prepared based on the community input and finalized by City staff. Attachment 4 shows the proposed playground layout.
DISCUSSION:
Zoom Recreation, Inc. was selected as the appropriate vendor for the project as they were awarded CMAS (California Multiple Awards Schedule) Contract #4-25-03-1025, for playground equipment and rubberized surfacing procurement and labor services.
The California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS) program, administered by the Department of General Services, provides State and Local Agencies with a streamlined procurement method for obtaining a wide range of goods and services at competitive prices. Under CMAS, the State establishes agreements with suppliers based on their existing competitively bid federal or other state contracts, thereby ensuring compliance with fair and open competition requirements. Pursuant to California Public Contract Code §10298 and §10299, local agencies are authorized to utilize CMAS contracts in lieu of conducting their own formal bidding process, provided that the purchase is consistent with applicable laws and in the public’s best interest.
Leveraging CMAS allows the City to expedite procurement, benefit from pre-negotiated pricing, and reduce administrative costs while remaining compliant with State procurement statutes.
Pursuant to City of Maywood Municipal Code, 3-4.13 - Exceptions to competitive bidding (c)(1), the City purchasing officer determines that the competitive bidding already completed for this solicitation.
The project includes the demolition of existing playground on the east of the park (close to the park entrance),
replacement of existing rubberized safety surfacing and installation of a new playground equipment and related work at Benito Juárez Park. Zoom Recreation, Inc. will be responsible to furnish and install the proposed improvements as a turn-key project.
Staff recommends City Council to award a Cooperative Purchasing Agreement to Zoom Recreation, Inc. in the amount of $176,756.58 for the purchase and installation of new playground equipment at Benito Juárez Park and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract in a form approved by the City Attorney.
With respect to CEQA, Staff has reviewed the proposed project and has determined that it is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15302: Replacement or reconstruction; (c) Replacement or reconstruction of existing utility and/or facilities involving negligible or no expansion of capacity.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total estimated cost of the project is $213,875.46 and will be funded through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Fund (Fund #243) as part of the FY 2025-26 Capital Improvement Program. The City has allocated $227,622 in CDBG funding for this Park Improvement Project in the FY 2025-26 budget.

SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS
F.O.B. Destination (Free On Board) – Prepaid and Add Seller pays the freight charges.
State agencies shall follow the instructions below whenever the weight of the purchase is 100 lbs. or more and F.O.B. Destination, Freight Prepaid is not used. This requirement is not applicable to local government agencies.
All shipments will be made by ground transportation unless otherwise ordered on the purchase order.
Traffic Management Unit (TMU) approval is not required for any Leveraged Procurement Agreement negotiated by DGS; however, it is recommended that state agencies contact TMU for a freight weight comparison using the Freight Analysis Worksheet on the TMU website, under the “Forms” heading to ensure the state is getting the most reasonable shipping cost.
Note: If shipping charges for purchases weighing less than 100 lbs. appear to be excessive (e.g., $500 for a 5 lb. package where the shipping charge is a percentage of the cost of the item being purchased), departments are encouraged to contact TMU for help to obtain more appropriate pricing. TMU contact information can be found at the TMU website.
