BY: RIMO HANSON, FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: REVENUE REPORT AUGUST 2025
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the Revenue Report for the months of July–August 2025.
BACKGROUND:
In an effort to maintain transparency, the City's Finance Department prepares a monthly Revenue Report for the City's Council's review.
DISCUSSION:
General Fund revenues are not received evenly throughout the fiscal year.

See attachment 1 and 2 for revenue details comparison between July–August 2024 and July–August 2025 and explanations in the "Comments" column.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

There is no fiscal impact with this action.

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.

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: DISCUSSION REGARDING THE STATEMENT OF WORK FOR THE MELLON
FOUNDATION PHASE TWO SLEEPY LAGOON MEMORIAL AT SPEAKER ANTHONY
RENDON RIVERFRONT PARK
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council review and provide direction regarding the proposed statement of work for the Mellon Foundation Phase Two Sleepy Lagoon Memorial at Speaker Anthony Rendon Riverfront Park grant application.
BACKGROUND:
In December 2023, the Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust (LANLT), in partnership with the City of Maywood, received a $250,000 planning grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. That grant supported community engagement, planning, and design of the Sleepy Lagoon Memorial at Speaker Anthony Rendon Riverfront Park.
Building on the work completed through the planning grant, LANLT is preparing an application for a Phase Two Mellon Foundation grant on behalf of the City. The proposed request is for approximately $1.3 million to fund construction and implementation of the memorial, inaugural programming, and development of a long-term stewardship framework.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed statement of work defines the activities to be conducted if the Phase Two grant is awarded. The statement covers a three-year period, with one year dedicated to construction and two years focused on postconstruction programming and stewardship planning.
Below is a summary of the attached statement of work:
• Construction Administration: Oversight of art fabrication and installation coordinated with the Riverfront Park renovation
• Inaugural Programming: Seasonal events and workshops highlighting the cultural and historical significance of the Sleepy Lagoon Memorial
• Long-Term Stewardship Planning: Development of a governance model and stewardship framework, informed by community engagement and strategic planning
The application timeline includes the following:
• October 6: Submission of first draft proposal
• October 24: Submission of final draft proposal (after Mellon Foundation feedback) • Early December: Grant agreements and initial payments for successful applications LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. Project costs will be funded through the Mellon Foundation grant and administered by the Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust.

1. Proposed Statement of Work, Mellon Foundation Planning Grant (Phase 2)
Mellon Foundation Grant Proposal
Implementation, Inaugural Programming, and Planning of Long-Term Stewardship Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust
1. Introduction
The Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust (LANLT) is a non-profit organization founded in 2002 to address Los Angeles's park inequities. We focus our efforts exclusively in communities of color that have little to no access to green space. Our successful community development model engages residents from site selection and the beginning of our design process, through construction and ultimately the stewardship of the parks and gardens we create. We support the creation of commemorative landscapes that memorialize the histories that reflect the places and people we work for such as the Speaker Anthony Rendon Riverfront Park renovation located in Maywood, California. The work we are seeking Mellon support for is for the construction costs of the memorial, inaugural programming, and planning for long-term stewardship of the Sleepy Lagoon Memorial. The programming and planning process will bring together project partners, artists from Mapache City Projects and a researcher. The inaugural programming will provide an example of themes and narratives that the planning framework will define. The group will work to integrate community priorities and narratives into a comprehensive planning framework for the future stewardship of the memorial.
During the three-year timeline of this grant, LANLT will manage the grant budget and contracts for all partners and programmed events, including the planning of the long-term stewardship with strategic planning consultants. More details about the partners involved in the programming and stewardship planning process are described in the Timeline & Activities section. LANLT can assume shared liability with the City of Maywood and procure commercial general liability insurance ahead of any planned events at the Speaker Anthony Rendon Riverfront Park. LANLT will coordinate with the City of Maywood on all programmed events and logistics.

inform each other to present a community verified approach at leadership structures and program types that can sustain the life of the memorial itself.
The Sleepy Lagoon Memorial will serve as an outdoor learning area where activities and workshops will be hosted around each art element to reflect the narrative themes of the historical event. The memorial is a unique interpretive experience anchored in and radiating out from the east side of the park, near the LA River. Developed through extensive engagement with residents of Southeast and East LA, and Tongva communities partnered with East Yard Communities for Environmental Justice (EYCEJ), the project will uplift critical stories of race, place, and open space access.
3. Goals
The Sleepy Lagoon Memorial’s design contains multiple components including interpretive and educational signage, California Native plantings, a walking path, seating elements, and sculptural interventions. The memorial components provide opportunities to transfer the cultural and environmental knowledge and history of the area, provide space for reflection and regeneration for present and future generations, create a natural habitat for native flora and fauna and make improvements to stormwater management. Upcoming phases include implementation of the Sleepy Lagoon Memorial construction, programming and planning for long-term stewardship post-implementation.
The implementation of the Sleepy Lagoon Memorial construction project will align to an existing construction timeline for the overall renovation of the Speaker Anthony Rendon Riverfront Park project. The Mellon Grant will help fund the design of art elements as they relate to the surrounding park landscape, fabrication of art elements, construction materials, and labor of the Sleepy Lagoon Memorial construction. During the grant period, Mapache City Projects will be engaged in the fabrication and installation of the Sleepy Lagoon Memorial and will be supported by SALT Landscape Architects, who are designing the overall renovation of the Speaker Anthony Rendon Riverfront Park.
Post-implementation, LANLT will facilitate the programming of two seasonal events per year for the rest of the grant timeline. To ensure an authentic, community-driven design process, this project will partner with community-based organizations to lead outreach for program events related to the Sleepy Lagoon Memorial. Partners will participate in the program planning process by attending meetings and recommending other consultants that can help build out curriculum and activities for each programmed event. This proposed work will sample a stewardship framework that supports the longevity of the memorial and connects with the surrounding community. Concurrent to each program event, community engagement will be facilitated to share progress on the stewardship

framework plans and get community feedback on various leadership structures that resonate with community needs and values and strategies for future programming and maintenance. This project will promote the development of a leadership/governance model for long-term stewardship and additional strategies for programming and maintenance identified through strategic planning meetings led by consultants in collaboration with all project partners.
A final deliverable will be a report for the stewardship framework plan that will showcase the sampled events that were planned at the memorial site during the grant timeline and feature other examples that highlight the original themes and narratives of the Sleepy Lagoon history. This report will also provide updates for the Sleepy Lagoon Memorial website managed by East Yard Communities for Environmental Justice. More details about the partners involved in the programming and stewardship planning process are described in the Timeline & Activities section.

EYCEJ has extensive roots and experience working in Maywood, including multiple community events (a series called “Agua Por Vida”) sited directly at Speaker Anthony Rendon Riverfront Park that included youth and family activities, food vendors, education around environmental justice issues in the area, and participation in selecting themes and motifs for two permanent murals at the recreation center on site.
CBE, works in environmental justice communities in LA as well as the Bay, has a strong history of base-building via canvassing, focus groups, direct actions, and community campaigns. In proposing these types of engagement, we are building off of long-term, successful outreach strategies that EYCEJ and CBE have cultivated over decades.
East Yard Communities for Environmental Justice (EYCEJ) and Communities for a Better Environment (CBE) will support all community events related to the Sleepy Lagoon Memorial. EYCEJ and CBE will alternate on leading community outreach and inform their member base during community engagement events. Both partners will participate in meetings to plan the programmed events that will inform the long-term stewardship model for the Sleepy Lagoon Memorial. EYCEJ will leverage the report produced as a final deliverable for this grant period to update the Sleepy Lagoon Memorial website that was created as part of the original vision plan which segways into the work completed with the Mellon Foundation.
Mapache City Projects will execute the fabrication of individual art elements for the Sleepy Lagoon Memorial as well as participate in the planning of the post-implementation programming and planning of long-term stewardship. A partnership of Sandra de la Loza and Arturo Romo, Mapache City Projects explores social and environmental landscapes through research-based processes to produce public artworks and community engaged projects. Their approach to “History” as a subject and memorials as living spaces (more performance than monument) has been widely cited in the field as an innovative example to memorialization ("Past Due: Report and Recommendations of the Los Angeles Mayor's Office Civic Memory Working Group”). In addition to co-creating the initial concept design for the Sleepy Lagoon Memorial Report, Sandra is a direct descendant of Zoot suiters, and both have a record of community-engaged public art in Southeast LA. The primary

deliverables that Mapache City Projects will produce consist of sketches and life size physical models of the Sleepy Lagoon Memorial art elements, to support the landscape architects and contractors during construction administration. The artists will participate in meetings to coordinate the art design for the memorial with the overall design of Speaker Anthony Rendon Riverfront Park. Ultimately, the artists will produce a final plan communicating the technical information needed for construction and fabrication.
Sandra de la Loza’s relevant work with authoring the report called Creating Connections:
An Arts and Culture Framework and Toolkit, will lead as a precedent for our project’s programming and stewardship planning approach. Both artists will participate in the strategic planning of programming events and the planning of long-term stewardship for future programming and maintenance of the Sleepy Lagoon Memorial.
Sacred Places Institute for Indigenous People (SPI) will advise on the project to support the consistent and meaningful inclusion and engagement of local Native Nations so they can ensure their culture is accurately represented in the project. SPI is a well-established California Indigenous-led, community-based organization with experienced leadership and a demonstrated ability to implement community-rooted programs across Southern California. Additionally, SPI has several Gabrielino-Tongva Tribal members both on staff and within the Advisory Board, with deep-rooted relationships and contacts to ensure the consistent and meaningful inclusion and engagement of local Native Nations SPI will participate in meetings to review the program plans and provide feedback that will inform the long-term stewardship planning framework. During community engagement events, SPI will work with Gabrielino-Tongva board and staff to support and facilitate art and culture activities that animate the narratives of Native history being interwoven in the Sleepy Lagoon Memorial, such as themes of community resiliency, nature, and water rights.
Eduardo Robles, a City of Maywood legacy resident, and project advisor for the Sleepy Lagoon Memorial project will participate in the strategic planning of the programmed events and advise on art and history. During the planning for community engagement events, Eduardo will advise project partners through his background in public humanities, most recently with Californians for the Arts. This synthesis of lived experience and professional expertise positions Eduardo to bridge the integration of memorial and park back into the community networks and histories, as well as future programming. Eduardo will research different case studies for stewardship models in other cultural parks to inform the framework for our project. After the implementation period for the Sleepy Lagoon Memorial, Eduardo’s goal is to continue to steward the memorial with arts and culture programs through the leadership structure and framework identified as part of this project and in collaboration with project partners and confirmed by community engagement.
