46 only be removed if they are posing real health and safety risks to the surrounding area and a tree expert or certified arborist should be brought in to consult.
West Coast Arborist (WCA) has been contracted by the city to conduct all maintenance and emergency response services for all trees in the city of Maywood.
VIII. Implementation
Strategy Description / Actions Why It Matters
1. In alignment with
City’s Urban
Forestry
Management Plan
Maywood’s Urban Forest Management Plan
(UFMP) aims to plant ~200 street trees per
year (specific species list provided).
Steady process in achieving canopy
expansion goals - Anchors efforts in
city General Plan goals, continues to
continuity build momentum.
2. Apply “Right Tree,
Right Place”
Evaluate each planting site for space,
overhead lines, roots, etc. Choose tree size
according to parkway strip width.
Minimizes conflicts with existing
infrastructure, and supports longterm tree health.
3. Pre-Planting Site
Assessments
Before planting, assess soil volume; check
for underground utilities and conflict zones.
Ensures trees have enough resources
to mature, reduces mortality risk, and
won’t damage any underground
utilities.
4. Best Practice
Planting Techniques
to Maximize Survival
Dig wide, shallow holes; ensure the root
collar sits at the right height; build berms to
retain water; mulch (2–4 in thick) while
keeping mulch away from trunk.
Encourages deep rooting, while mulch
conserves moisture, protects from
pathogens, and provides nutrients for
the trees.
5. Timing – Fall is
Ideal
Plant in the fall: cooler temps, consistent
rains, reduced stress, lower pest pressure,
trees have season to establish before next
spring.
Increases rooting success and reduces
need for intensive watering.
6. Mulching and
Ongoing Care
Apply organic mulch in accordance with
SB1383 to manage soil temperature, retain
moisture, and suppress weeds. Also plan for
pruning, pest management (preferably IPM),
and removing staking after establishment.
Enhances long-term survival and
community benefits.
7. Establish
Watering &
Maintenance Plan
Provide deep, infrequent watering (e.g.,
twice weekly summer, once weekly winter);
consider drip irrigation; monitor soil
moisture before watering.
Supports strong root systems while
avoiding overwatering.
8. Species Selection
to Support Diversity
& Pest Resilience
Avoid overplanting a single species;
diversify per guidelines (e.g., Riverside
model: no more than 5% single-species
prevalence).
Reduces risk of widespread loss from
pests or disease.
47 9. Ongoing
Establishment Care
Through Community
Outreach &
Volunteer
Engagement
Use events like Earth Day events to involve
residents; include watering/maintenance
commitments and education on urban
forestry benefits and City projects.
Builds stewardship, ensures proper
first-year care.
10. Monitor &
Evaluate Success
PlanIt Geo & WCA
Track survival rates, canopy growth,
maintenance needs.
Ensures continuous improvement,
accountability, and celebration of
successes.
Table 4: Implementation Plan
48 IX. Tree Species Selection Strategy
The Importance of Tree Species Selection in Achieving
Canopy Goals
Proper species selection and location will also be crucial to growing the urban canopy. Every tree species has specific growth patterns and characteristics that define its shape, height and the amount of shade provided by its canopy. Canopy cover is hard to estimate with newly planted trees, but it is important to estimate its full range at maturity to make realistic canopy goals and equitably distribute shade.
Additionally, it is important that we select trees that the community also prefers to have in their neighborhood. Trees selected by residents are more likely to thrive, since they are wanted and more likely to be cared for by community members. In a survey conducted at the 2024 Trunk-orTreat event, residents were asked to select their favorite tree, and the Chitalpa received the most support with over 170 votes.
Below is a list of approved tree species made in collaboration with CalFire. These species adhere to the drought tolerant needs of the City. Corresponding with each tree is the estimated canopy size at maturity. It would strategically be best for the city to prioritize large canopy cover trees in areas without power lines and the highest need for large trees, such as residential areas and school zones. Smaller canopy cover trees may still be implemented for biodiversity in areas where visibility is a priority such as thoroughfares and parks. Selecting trees for their tree canopy cover size is just one of the strategic and economical means Maywood can take to achieve the 13% canopy cover goal by 2035.
49 Latin Name/Common Name
Canopy Cover at
Maturity
Eriobotrya deflexa/ Bronze loquat 12-25 ft.
Chilopsis linearis/ Desert willow 15-25 ft.
Chitalpa tashkentensis/ Chitalpa 20-30 ft.
Lophostemon confertus/ Brisbane box 20-30 ft.
Quercus engelmanni/ Engelmann Oak 25-60 ft.
Arbutus menziesii/ Madrone 30-40 ft.
Platanus racemosa/ Western Sycamore 30-50 ft.
Quercus agrifolia/ Coast Live Oak 30-40 ft.
Platanus x hispanica/ London plane 60-70 ft.
Table 5: CalFire Approved Tree Species List and Canopy
Table 5 lists just the species name and their canopy converge. For more detailed information on each species, please refer to the Appendix on page 70.
Low Canopy Trees vs. High Canopy Trees
The City of Maywood has approximately 2,300 potential planting sites. Carefully selecting the right tree species for each site is essential to maximizing the city’s overall canopy growth. In areas with limited tree cover and fewer available planting sites, prioritizing species that provide greater shade and coverage will have the most impact.
Below is a table showing the smallest tree on our recommended tree list and the largest. Using TreePlotter’s Canopy Grow tool we can estimate the number of tree plantings it would take to reach 13% canopy coverage based on the trees’ average tree crown diameter.
50 Bronze Loquat London Plane
Average Tree Crown Diameter Average Tree Crown Diameter 12 ft - 20 ft 60 ft - 70 ft
Trees Needed to Reach 13% Canopy Trees Needed to Reach 13% Canopy 3,786 947
Table 6: Comparing Canopy of Low and High Canopy Trees
If species with smaller average canopy diameters are predominantly selected, more trees will need to be planted to achieve the desired coverage and vice versa. Tree species that are also on the low crown diameter are Madrones and Chitalpas, and trees with a higher crown diameter are any of the oak species in the recommended tree list provided above.
51 Amigos surveyed trees that are established and growing well in various parts of the City of Maywood. These trees seem to handle the soil of the area more effortlessly and include: Jacaranda, Palo Verde, and Myrtle (all flowering trees) as well as fruit trees such as Guava, Cherimoya, Avocado, Mango, Pomegranate, Mulberry, Fig and various citrus.
Several
residential fruit trees growing well in Maywood: Cherimoya, Citrus, Mango, Avocado Other trees with large canopies already established in Maywood Amigos has plans to survey and record established trees in Maywood that have large canopies and are thriving to potentially add to our current approved tree list.
52 Latin Name/Common Name Canopy Cover at
Maturity
Afrocarpus gracilior/ Fern Pine 20-40 ft.
Jacaranda mimosifolia/ Jacaranda* 45-60 ft.
Tipuana tipu/ Tipu* 30-60 ft.
Brachychiton rupestris/ Bottle Tree* 20-30 ft.
Lyonothamnus floribundus/ Ironwood 12-24 ft.
Table 7: Additional Species
*Also on WCA’s Top 10 Tree Species List in Maywood
Table 7 lists additional species to consider planting in the future and their canopy cover at full maturity.
Species to Phase Out
Using data collected from WCA, here are the top 10 tree species located throughout the city.
1. Syagrus romanzoffianum/ Queen Palm
2. Geijera parviflora/ Australian Willow
3. Afrocarpus falcatus/ Fern Pine
4. Ulmus parvifolia/ Chinese Elm
5. Lagerstroemia indica/ Crape Myrtle
6. Cupaniopsis anacardioides/ Carrotwood
7. Brachychiton populneus/ Bottle Tree
8. Ficus benjamina/ Weeping Fig
9. Jacaranda mimosifolia/ Jacaranda
10. Tipuana tipu/ Tipu
Using this list, we can identify which species are thriving and consider adding them to our recommended tree list. The list also helps us flag invasive species and plan for their gradual replacement with alternatives that better align with the City’s needs. Invasive trees or trees to phase out is discussed in the section below in more detail.
Although palm trees are an iconic staple in Los Angeles and quite popular in the City of Maywood, they are not the best choice of trees to grow the urban forest. While palms are poor at providing
53 shade they also are high maintenance, provide minimal ecological benefit, and sequester little carbon. Additionally, their fronds pose a safety hazard and wildfire risk. According to WCA data, there are 323 palm trees located along the public right-of-way. It is important to mention that this number only refers to public palm trees and does not take into account palms located in commercial, residential, industrial, or park spaces. Here is a list of palm species present in Maywood:
● Canary Island Date Palm
● Bangalow Palm
● Date Palm
● Mexican Fan Palm
● Majesty Palm
● Queen Palm
● Sago Palm
Many palms in Los Angeles are reaching the end of their life span and the best solution to help grow the city’s canopy would be to replace them with a tree that has a broader canopy. To the extent possible palms will be phased out and replaced with viable alternatives that will maximize canopy coverage over time.
Phasing out non-native trees such as palms and replacing them with native, drought-tolerant species or trees suited to other Mediterranean climates is essential for sustaining a healthy and resilient urban forest. Additionally, we could expand the recommended list to include tree species that are already thriving within the city. Many non-native trees are not equipped to Southern California’s hot dry summers and mild wet winters. Moreover, they require more water resources and can outcompete native species of the area. As climate change continues to exacerbate living conditions, we expect the weather to stay hot and warm which many non-natives will not be able to withstand.
Other non-native, invasive trees present in Maywood include:
● Ficus species
● Tree of Heaven
● Chinese Elm
● Camphor Tree
54 ● Willow Tree
● Mexican Fam Palm
● Pepper Tree
Invasive species are harmful to both the natural and built environment. First, they can outcompete native or drought-tolerant trees and interrupt the local ecosystem. Second, invasive species damage infrastructure such as sidewalks, curbs, driveways, building foundations, underground pipes, and sewer systems.
While established trees that are invasive species will not be proactively removed, they will be replaced with tree species that are an appropriate option once they reach the end of their life span.
Proper assessment of the site and proper tree selection will ensure the established infrastructure will not be damaged by the new tree being planted.
Tree Placement: Reducing Stormwater Runoff
As a small, densely populated city along the Los Angeles River, Maywood must comply with the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit under the Clean Water Act, which regulates how municipalities manage stormwater runoff to reduce pollution. Integrating urban forestry practices into Maywood’s stormwater management supports MS4 compliance by filtering runoff through tree canopy interception, increased infiltration, and reduced erosion. Strategically planting and maintaining trees near streets, schools, and along the riverfront helps capture pollutants before they enter the storm drain system, improving water quality and contributing to the city’s broader sustainability and compliance goals.
55 Figure 16: City of Maywood Storm Drain System
Figure 16 shows Maywood’s drain system and proximity to channels also known as the Los Angeles River.
X. Roles, Partnerships, and Coordination
Key Partnerships
Reaching a 13% tree canopy coverage by 2035 is a goal that cannot be achieved without community partnerships and participation. Expanding the tree canopy must reach beyond public street right-of-ways and into private or residential, commercial and school jurisdictions. Many residential front and backyards have available greenspace that can accommodate trees that would not only provide numerous benefits to the resident but the larger community. The City will continue to look for partnerships that establish tree distribution giveaways to residents to plant in their yards. These trees will be diversified to include fruit trees to gain more interest by residents while also addressing food insecurity needs.
56 This can also benefit commercial sites that occupy large parking lots adjacent to main road ways.
Tree planting at these sites can increase aesthetics of the property, provide shade to pedestrians along main roadways and potentially raise patronage rates.
Most importantly, tree planting at the City’s six public schools in Maywood can widely increase the tree canopy. Tree planting at schools and along adjacent public right-of-ways can increase shade for vulnerable populations like young children, promote walking to school and add to the aesthetics of the school which have been associated with better school performance. Many of these schools have a high planting potential on their asphalt playing yards that are made up of little green space. This partnership requires coordination between principals, the Los Angeles Unified School District Sustainability Team, city officials, community partners, and nonprofits interested in school greening.
In addition to following established policies regarding landscaping and tree planting contained in the City’s Elements of the General Plan as outlined on page 12 of this document, growing the City’s tree canopy efficiently will require a strategic, cost-effective, and sustainable approach:
● Public Works: continue to identify and vet viable planting locations along sidewalks and streets where new tree wells can be cut and where pervious pavement that allows water to pass through should be used to reduce root conflicts. ● Planning/Building: apply UFMP standards to private frontage improvements and require street trees where feasible.
● Engineering/Utilities: provide clearance maps for low overhead lines so species selection aligns with utility standards.

Power of Community Voices & Partnership
Since 2022, the City’s partner, Amigos de los Rios conducted tabling activity for the urban forest expansion at major City events. The outreach events often include surveying residents on their ideas, educating them on the urban forest and organizing tree plantings with resident volunteers.
58 The tree plantings have been highly involved with local residents with tree planting activity occurring at the YMCA park area and on 56th Street. Tabling outreach events occurred on Earth Day and Halloween “Trunk-or-Treat” events where several hundred families through surveys and free environmentally related activities were reached.
These events are a way to recognize the role of residents in growing the urban forest with the majority of trees that make up the urban canopy owned or maintained by property residents.
Outreach to the local population remains vitally important to ensure favorable public support of urban forestry and is accomplished through the engagement of families, especially children, considering the City’s priorities of environmental justice. Residents of the City are vital to the continuation of growing the urban forest, as the majority of the canopy are residential trees and where a majority of future growth can take place. Implementing surveys have allowed for community input on which trees they would like to see planted, which locations have the most need, and identifying exact locations residents would like a tree planted on their private property.
Image from December 14th, 2020 Planting Event
59 Recommended annual events to involve community volunteers grow into annual traditions for the Maywood community:
● Spring – Earth Day / Arbor Day
● Fall – Trunk -or-Treat
● Winter – Holiday Tree Planting
● Summer – Tree Care & Family Tree Story Nights
In addition, achieving recognition as a Tree City USA would be a meaningful accomplishment, showcasing Maywood’s dedication to caring for and expanding its urban forest. The City will encourage non-profit partners to incorporate environmental learning into these community events to create celebrations of nature for community residents. Tree plantings along street parkways and communicating about conservancy could become quarterly or annual occurrences within neighborhoods and at these City events that occur between the months of October and April.
Community Feedback
The first survey was conducted during the city’s Earth Day event in 2024. Several families and participants responded to the question, “Which of these benefits from trees matter most to you and why?”. The options for this survey were:
● Shade/cooling
● Habitat for wildlife
● Food/fruit
● Clean air
● Stormwater capture
● Mental health
● Physical health
● Cultural significance/ importance
● Beauty/ aesthetics
● Sense of place
As seen in the image below, there were over 150 responses with the majority labeling shade/cooling, habitat for wildlife and food/fruit as the tree benefits that matter most. There was a wide variety of participants, from children with their families, to parents and senior citizen residents.
60 Image from Earth Day 2024 Survey
The next survey was conducted during the 2024 Halloween Trunk or Treat event. There was a large population of young children, families and city officials in attendance. As seen in the image below, we took the opportunity to survey them on two questions: “Do you have a tree located in the parkway in front of your house?" and “Out of the four trees below, which one is your favorite?”.
The parkway question aimed to gauge how many people have trees in front of their homes and if they didn’t, how much open planting space is perceived within Maywood. Additionally, this made participants aware of trees in their parkway and recognizing if there is a need for a tree there. Over 154 (70%) participants out of 223 stated that they did not have a parkway tree in front of their home.

Maywood’s Place Within the Greater Los Angeles Area
Watershed: The Emerald Necklace Vision
The rivers flowing from the Angeles National Forest, including the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers, Santa Ana River, and Santa Clara River, play a vital role in supplying water to Southern California communities. Rainfall and snowmelt captured in the forest’s upper watersheds feed these rivers, supporting the region’s water supply, including the Antelope Valley and are all vital to the greater Los Angeles area. Maywood’s eastern border is defined by the lower Los Angeles River which serves as a significant feature for the community. Future plans to develop a greenway along the river will provide residents for education, recreation, and connection to nature. By fostering a relationship between the community and the river, we hope to inspire residents to connect to the river corridor and the public lands from the Mountains to the Sea, including stewardship, and commitment to protect and preserve natural resources within the greater watershed.
66 Figure 17: Maywood in the Greater Watershed
Maywood’s partner, Amigos de los Ríos, has long advocated for the “Mountains to Sea” Emerald Necklace—a natural infrastructure network of parks, green streets, river greenways, and watershed discovery public school campuses designed to integrate nature into the city and support the needs of residents across the greater Los Angeles area. We are excited to be a part of expanding the greater watershed vision to protect nature within our metro area.
67 Planting in Riverfront Park: Expanding Green Networks The Maywood Riverfront Park was developed in partnership with the Trust for Public Land (TPL) in 2006 and stands as a transformative example of how the area adjacent to the Los Angeles River was prioritized as a community resource. This park was enhanced with trees and native shrubs in 2016. It is now scheduled for updates by TPL in 2026.
Images of Maywood Riverfront Park
Once an industrial brownfield, this park was remediated into open green space that now provides local residents with direct access to recreational opportunities, and a renewed connection to the natural environment. It is one of the first riverfront parks in Southeast Los Angeles, and demonstrates how investment in river-adjacent spaces can improve public health, support environmental education, and contribute to the broader regional vision of a revitalized Los Angeles River corridor.
68 Images of LA River regional bike trail adjacent to Maywood Riverfront Park The LA River regional bike trail adjacent to Maywood Riverfront Park is part of the Lower LA River Project which seeks to revitalize the area. We look forward to an update on the action plan LA River Implementation Advisory Group to see what the action plan is to implement the project. This greenway corridor will serve as a recreational trail, weaving together environmental stewardship and public access along the revitalized riverfront.
The Randolph Rail to River Active Transportation Corridor is a dedicated corridor for biking and walking that is set to open in 2027. It will extend from the Metro A Line Slauson Station along Randolph Street through Bell, Maywood, Huntington Park, and the Florence-Firestone community, and it is important to ensure this path has adequate shade to keep commuters cool and healthy through the heat of Southern California.
Planning is also underway for the Southeast Gateway line, a new light rail transit line that will connect Southeast LA Country to downtown, passing through Maywood.
Historical Context
Social History
For centuries before European arrival, Maywood was home to indigenous groups like the Chumash and Tongva (Gabrieleno) that fostered and cultivated the land. The Chumash and Tongva (Gabrieleno) held close, spiritual relationships to the land, often conducting practices including prescribed burns to keep the land clear and promote the growth of useful plants.
69 Figure 18: Native Land Digital Map of Indigenous Maywood Land Legend
Chumash and Tongva (Gabrieleno)
Tongva (Gabrieleno)
In 1781, the historically native land that Maywood sat on was taken by the Spanish crown. For several decades the land remained largely undeveloped except for a cow pasture that eventually turned into a rancho. By 1917, the 2,300 acre rancho was owned by a land development corporation that sold produce to markets in Los Angeles. Soon, the ranch was sold and subdivided to develop Maywood, named after a woman who worked for the land development corporation.
On September 2, 1924 Maywood residents voted to incorporate and form their own municipality of about 1,000 people at the time. Maywood has aimed to keep its small town feel with its composition of residential homes, commercial businesses and its position outside of the city center. As of 2023, Maywood consists of a population of about 25,000 people with over 97% of the population identifying as Hispanic or Latino.
Native and Drought-Tolerant Shade Trees
Establishing a resilient and climate-adapted urban canopy is essential for creating a resilient, lowmaintenance canopy in Maywood, benefiting the city’s long-term environmental health. The
70 following native and regionally adapted species are prioritized for planting due to their shade coverage, low water requirements, ecological value, and ability to thrive in urban conditions. ● Desert Willow (Chilopsis linearis): A small flowering tree that thrives in dry conditions, attracting pollinators with its trumpet-shaped blossoms, highly drought-tolerant. ● Chitalpa (Chitalpa tashkentensis): A hybrid of desert willow and catalpa, combining fast growth, drought tolerance, and showy blooms. Resilient to heat. ● Western Sycamore (Platanus racemosa): A large native tree offering excellent shade and wildlife habitat, ideal for parks and wide rights-of-way. ● London Plane (Platanus acerifolia): A durable urban tree with tolerance for poor soils and pollution, making it suitable for streetscapes.
● Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia): An iconic California evergreen oak, supporting hundreds of native species and providing wide canopy and deep shade. ● Engelmann Oak (Quercus engelmannii): A rare Southern California native oak valued for biodiversity, longevity and habitat preservation.
● Madrone (Arbutus menziesii): Known for its striking red bark and white flowers, providing year-round beauty and food for birds and pollinators. ● Bronze Loquat (Eriobotrya deflexa): A small to medium ornamental tree with glossy leaves and bronze new growth, suitable for compact spaces. ● Brisbane Box (Lophostemon confertus): An evergreen street tree with dense canopy and resilience in urban conditions. Does well in compacted urban soils.
These species will build a healthy, climate-ready urban forest that requires minimal supplemental water once established. These species can be planted in high-heat corridors, along major rightsof-way, and in public spaces to maximize canopy cover and urban cooling benefits.
Mediterranean and Low-Water Fruit Trees
In addition to shade trees, Maywood will prioritize the integration of drought-tolerant fruit trees from Mediterranean and semi-arid climates. These species offer environmental benefits while providing direct public health, cultural, and economic value.
71 Recommended Species:
● Apricot (Moorpark, Blenheim)
● Plum (Santa Rosa)
● Pomegranate (Wonderful, Eversweet, Parfianka)
● Guava (Strawberry, Pineapple)
● Blue Elderberry (Sambucus nigra ssp. caerulea)
● Jujube (Li, Lang)
● Fig (Black Mission)
● Persimmon (Fuyu, Jiro)
● Olive (Manzanillo, Kalamata)
● Mulberry (Pakistan, Persian Black, Black Beauty)
Community Benefits of Fruit Tree Integration
Public Health
● Increases access to fresh, nutrient-dense foods.
● Supports food security in a community with limited access to fresh produce. ● Encourages outdoor activity and engagement in healthy lifestyles.
Community Sharing and Equity
● Promotes neighborhood sharing of surplus harvests.
● Strengthens cultural identity through fruit varieties tied to Maywood’s diverse traditions. ● Can support local food banks, schools, and community kitchens.
Climate and Ecological Benefits
● Provides shade and reduces urban heat island effect.
● Requires low to moderate water use once established.
● Enhances local biodiversity by attracting pollinators and birds.
Site Selection and Design Guidance
● Parks and Schools: Large-canopy natives and community-accessible fruit trees can provide shade for recreation and environmental education.
72 ● Residential Rights-of-Way: Narrower species (e.g., Brisbane Box, Desert Willow, Guava) can enhance walkability while providing neighborhood-scale fruit access. ● Community Gardens and Vacant Lots: Clusters of fruit trees can be collectively managed, ensuring equitable distribution of produce.
● Heat Island Mitigation Zones: Larger shade species (e.g., Sycamore, Coast Live Oak) should be prioritized in areas with high pavement concentration and limited green space.
Special Maintenance Considerations
● Guavas (Pink and White) and Avocados (Hass): Require modest supplemental irrigation during establishment and in dry years.
● California Bay Laurel: Requires seasonal pruning to maintain structure and manage growth.
● Fruit-Bearing Species: Require community stewardship for pruning, harvest, and management of fallen fruit to maintain safety and aesthetics.
By integrating native shade trees with Mediterranean fruit trees, Maywood can expand its urban forest canopy while simultaneously addressing public health, equity, and climate resilience. These plantings will create shaded, livable streetscapes, provide fresh food resources, and foster a stronger sense of community stewardship.
Implementing More Green Infrastructure: Low Impact
Development
Low Impact Development (LID) includes a variety of green infrastructure such as rain gardens, bioswales, pervious pavements, rain gardens, vegetated filter strips, and tree plantings. These practices work together to naturally manage stormwater by increasing infiltration, reducing runoff, and improving water quality. LID also enhances community resilience by reducing flooding risks, replenishing groundwater supplies, and creating healthier, greener urban spaces.
By integrating these methods into both new developments and retrofits of existing neighborhoods, cities like Maywood can reduce the strain on stormwater systems while also improving public spaces for the benefit of residents.
73 Pervious Pavement
Additional green infrastructure Maywood should consider adopting is previous pavement.
Pervious pavement, also called permeable or porous pavement, is a type of paving material that allows water to pass through it, rather than running off into storm drains.
Figure 19: Caltrans Erosion Control Toolbar: Permeable Paving Instead of forming a solid, impermeable surface like traditional asphalt or concrete, pervious pavement has tiny pores that let rainwater soak through into the ground below. This helps:
● Stop tree roots from lifting concrete as the pervious pavement allows trees to access water easier.
● Reduce flooding and runoff by letting water infiltrate into the ground. ● Recharge groundwater supplies.
● Filter pollutants naturally as water passes through the soil and tree roots. ● Improve stormwater management.
Pervious pavement is especially well-suited for areas where trees will be planted, as it can help prevent issues such as roots lifting sidewalks and curbs.
74 Bioswales
A bioswale is a gently sloped landscape feature, typically lined with gravel, stones, and vegetation, designed to collect, filter, and infiltrate stormwater. By capturing runoff, bioswales help replenish groundwater supplies, reduce the flow of stormwater into urban drains, and minimize conditions that allow mosquito populations to thrive. When planted with native trees and shrubs, bioswales provide additional benefits such as increased shade, improved air quality, and valuable habitat for local wildlife. Moreover, bioswales serve as a natural feature that can help connect residents to the Los Angeles River, and a stronger relationship between the community and its local watershed.
Figure 20: Amigos de los Ríos Bioswale Signage
Importance of Tree Ordinances
Tree ordinances are local laws enacted by a city municipality to protect private and public trees.
Ordinances can also help with managing the urban forest, prevent tree loss, and promote sustainable growth and development. By protecting trees, communities are able to also protect their local air and water quality, reduce the urban heat island effect, provide habitat for wildlife, increase property value, and improve the aesthetics of the city.
75 In the City of Maywood’s Municipal Codification, Title 11 labeled Parks and Recreation has two chapters pertaining to public trees.
● Chapter 1 - Tree Planting and Parkway Commissions
● Chapter 2 - Street Trees
The first chapter discusses the creation of the Tree Planting and Parkway Commission for the purpose of maintaining trees in the city. Chapter 2 states the prohibitions regarding the cutting, planting, pruning, or injuring of any tree or shrub on a street. Additionally, trees destroyed or removed must be replaced within 40 days, tree stakes or guards may be placed around trees, shrubs, or plants by property owners to protect them, and piling material around a tree, shrub, or plants that could injure them is prohibited.
While these ordinances are a great baseline, there is room for improvements. Here is a list of recommended ordinances:
● Phasing out palms and other non-native or invasive species and replacing them with a native or drought tolerant tree.
● A water efficient landscaping section that would include planting appropriate trees for specific climate and zones.
● In commercial parking lots, ensuring for every 10-15 parking spaces there is at least one tree planted.
To fully implement this UFMP, the City’s Public Works and Building and Planning departments, will need to adopt or amend local landscape and tree requirements so staff can condition future projects. This includes adding minimum shade tree requirements for commercial parking lots, adding tree and screening requirements for industrial uses, and requiring replacement of removed palms with approved canopy species. These amendments will allow staff to cite the UFMP directly in plan check, staff reports, and conditions of approval.
Next Step for Building and Planning (1-2 years):
Building and Planning will draft amendments to the Municipal Code and/or the City’s landscape standards within 12–18 months to:
● Require shade trees in commercial parking areas (minimum 1 tree per 10–15 stalls); ● Require industrial and commercial projects to plant trees on site or pay an in-lieu fee that funds UFMP plantings in priority areas;
76 ● Update the City’s preferred/protected tree list to phase out palms and non-native invasive species and require replacement with approved canopy trees; and ● Require SB 1383–compliant mulch for all new tree plantings.
These updates will allow Planning and Building staff to apply the UFMP consistently during plan review and inspections
Additional Survey Data
Our most recent survey occurred in 2025 on an Earth Day celebration where participants were asked, “Where do you think would be the most beneficial place to plant a tree in Maywood?” and “Which of these California native trees are your favorite?” as seen in the two images below.
Participants answering the “Where do you think would be the most beneficial place to plant a tree in Maywood?” question located points mainly around Riverfront Park and at the major intersection of Slauson Ave and Atlantic. These responses redirect Amigos focus on where to plant, showing people want trees with high car traffic and where there is an already established green space.
Additionally, participants voted Chitalpa as their favorite California native tree. This vote establishes what native trees should be prioritized to plant and exposes the public to the variety of native trees in their region.

77 Citywide Tree Inventory: Important Project Notes
It is important to note that not every tree in the city was recorded because the inventorying process only involved the use of aerial maps rather than in-person surveying. It should be emphasized that the aim was not accuracy in numbers but rather to analyze which areas of Maywood have good canopy and which areas are lacking. Trees may have been not been accounted for or overaccounted for due to these reasons:
● Tree was planted or removed after Google Map Aerial footage was taken ● Tree was clustered with other vegetation and unable to decipher even with Google Street View
● Unable to get a detailed view of trees located on private property using Google Street View
● A tree was hidden under the canopy of another larger tree.
Example of a Cluster of Trees:
Aerial Image of a Cluster of Trees via Tree Plotter
As you can see it is difficult to determine how many individual trees there are on this resident’s property. We did our best using trees’ shadows and the difference in shape or color to identify individual trees.
78 Example of Trees Not Visible Due to Canopy:
1. The first image shows an aerial image of a section of Riverfront Park in Maywood that has denser tree coverage. The red arrow shows the direction we are looking at for reference for the second image.
2. The second image shows a street view image as well as showing trees that were hidden under a tree canopy.

Amigos de los Ríos
Amigos de los Ríos (ADLR) is a non-profit environmental justice organization committed to planning and implementing natural infrastructure projects. Through their 'LA Basin Emerald Necklace' vision, ADLR works to protect biodiversity, expand urban forestry, and connect underserved
communities to green spaces — from the mountain to the
sea — while reducing the impacts of climate change and improving public health outcomes.
As long-time partners with the City of Maywood, Amigos de los Ríos is committed to the community which has faced
significant environmental justice issues. Expanding the urban tree canopy in Maywood is not only an investment in green infrastructure, but a meaningful step toward a cleaner, healthier, and greener future.
What is an Urban Forest Management Plan?
An Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP) establishes a comprehensive, long‑term strategy for managing Maywood’s public trees and expanding the community’s urban canopy.
The Urban Forest Management Plan formally articulates:
• An assessment of the existing tree canopy coverage.
• Environmental and public health considerations.
• Benefits of a healthy urban forest.
• A tree species selection guide and recommended tree planting policies. • Goals, strategies, and implementation steps to guide long‑term management.
Benefits of Urban Trees
What is an Urban Forest Management Plan? (continued)
• Supportive Plan - The Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP) furthers the efforts identified from the Safety Element of the City’s General Plan. It addresses climate and hazard mitigation goals and the need for expanded tree cover as part of climate adaptation.
• The UFMP as an implementation tool that addresses the specifics of tree selection and planting. Tree planting and landscaping is referenced in the following General Plan Elements:
• Conservation Element: Policy outlines drought tolerant trees for commercial developments.
• Circulation Element: Recommends pedestrian and bicycle amenities such as paving, trees, and landscaping.
• Safety Element: Addresses climate mitigation through expanded tree coverage. • Open Space Element: Requires trees or landscaping in new residential developments.

The UFMP will be integrated
into the City's General Plan
to guide tree planting,
inventory management, and
urban forest health
monitoring. By aligning with
existing city elements and
sustainability initiatives, the
UFMP positions the urban
forest as a lasting
community asset delivering
environmental, social, and
economic benefits citywide.
Amigos de los Ríos (ADLR)
is ensuring the long-term
health and maintenance of
newly planted trees. ADLR’s
protocols for tree care align
with the Guideline
Specifications for Selecting,
Planting, and Early Care of
Young Trees. ADLR will keep
Maywood connected to the
growth of their urban forest
by participating in local
events, promoting the value
of urban trees and
encourage stewardship of
parkway trees.
Why an Urban Forest Management Plan?
• Maywood canopy is currently 11%
(below LA County’s 16% average)
• High heat, air pollution, and
environmental justice concerns
• Tree canopy coverage = shade,
cleaner air, cooler neighborhoods
and healthier people

BACKGROUND:
The California Building Standards Commission released the 2025 Edition of the California Building Standards Codes on July 1, 2025. State law requires all cities to adopt the updated codes by reference within 180 days of publication, with an effective date of January 1, 2026. While the City adopted an urgency ordinance so that the updated code would apply on January 1, 2026, it is customary that we also move forward a non-urgency ordinance as well. Therefore, on January 21, 2026, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 25-06 adopting by reference the 2025 California Building Standards Codes and related codes, including certain local administrative amendments to Title 8 of the Maywood Municipal Code.
DISCUSSION:
Every three years, the California Building Standards Commission adopts a new version of the California Building Standards Code, codified in Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations. On July 1, 2025, the Commission published the 2025 edition of the code.
The proposed ordinance adopts by reference the California Building Standards Code and related uniform codes, which establish minimum requirements for building safety, energy efficiency, accessibility, and fire protection. Local administrative amendments are included to align enforcement procedures and maintain continuity with the City's existing municipal regulations.
When adopting a code by reference, State law requires that the City Council conduct a public hearing prior to adoption. Pursuant to Government Code Section 50022.3, notice of the public hearing must be published once a week for two successive weeks, with at least five days intervening between publication dates.
The required Notice of Public Hearing was published on March 5, 2026, and March 12, 2026. Copies of the codes proposed for adoption have been available for public inspection at the City Clerk’s Office for the required period prior to the hearing.
Staff is requesting that the City Council conduct the public hearing and adopt Ordinance No. 25-06.
LEGAL REVIEW:
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with adoption of the ordinance adopting, by reference, the various 2025 California Codes. Upon adoption, costs will be incurred for incorporation of the ordinance into the City’s Municipal Code (Municode). Funding in the amount of $15,000 has been budgeted for this purpose within the City Clerk’s Division.

20 EXHIBIT A
FINDINGS
Except as otherwise stated herein, the amendments being proposed to the California Building Standards Code and the other codes set forth in Ordinance No. 20-05 (“Codes”), are limited to administrative or procedural clarifications of the various Codes and concern themselves with subjects that either are not covered by the Codes or are reasonably necessary to effectively implement the Codes. Except as otherwise stated herein, none of the proposed amendments make changes to the building standards set forth in the Codes and, therefore, express findings of unique local conditions are not required.
As it relates to Section 8-3.02 related to the California Electrical Code, amendments were made related to the undergrounding of service laterals and utilities for new construction, new buildings and existing buildings and existing underground areas. Pursuant to the requirements of Health and Safety Code Section 17958.7, the City Council finds that there are local geographical and climatic conditions justifying the amendments. Specifically, the local climate is characterized by periods of high temperatures accompanied by low humidity and high winds each year (i.e. “Santa Ana winds”). These conditions could create an environment in which the fire department may have great difficulty in controlling fires. Recent fires in the region have been caused or associated with utility equipment (including overhead electrical lines) being ignited or being the source of the fire. Maywood is highly dense both in structures and people and ensuring new construction or certain existing building do not exacerbate such issues is paramount caused by the local geographical climatic conditions.

AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.
DATE: March 25, 2026
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. 6454 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 1/29/2026 through 3/16/2026 and adopt Resolution No. 6454 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.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total disbursements for Warrant Registers are $1,986,021.04 for the period from 1/29/2026 to 3/16/2026.
This amount consists of Warrant Registers of $1,576,823.28, ACH registers of $259,457.49 and Payroll Wire Transfers of $149,740.27

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL

BY: RIMO HANSON, FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: REVENUE REPORT FEBRUARY 2026
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the Revenue Report for the months of July 2025–February 2026.
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. During the first half of the fiscal year, there is always an issue of timing difference whereby cash receipts do not align with the projected budget forecast, but during the second half of the year the cash receipts gradually begin to align with the projected budget. See attachment 1 and 2 for revenue details comparison between July 2024–February 2025 and July 2025–February 2026 and explanations in the "Comments" column.
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. 8.
DATE: March 25, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: DAISY GUERRERO, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF BUILDING AND PLANNING SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE AND APPROVAL OF REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
FOR THE CONSULTING SERVICES FOR THE PREPARATION OF A NEW
COMPREHENSIVE ZONING CODE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the issuance of Request for Proposals ("RFP") for professional consulting services to develop a new comprehensive Zoning Code including related CEQA compliance documentation, with proposals due no later than 5:00 P.M. on Friday, March 31, 2026.
BACKGROUND:
On November 19, 2025, City Council approved staff to develop of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a new comprehensive Zoning Code. The Zoning Code update will consist of modernizing the existing code to be clear, user-friendly, and legally compliant, providing predictable guidance for residents, businesses, developers, and City staff.
The City of Maywood’s Zoning Ordinance (Title 9 of the Maywood Municipal Code) is one of the most critical regulatory tools guiding land use and development throughout the City. The Zoning Code implements the vision and policies of the General Plan by translating broad planning goals into enforceable development regulations, land use standards, and design criteria. These regulations are essential for promoting orderly growth, protecting neighborhood character, enhancing the built environment, preserving property values, and supporting community health, safety, and quality of life.
DISCUSSION:
Staff is seeking to solicit proposals for a firm to provide professional consulting services to develop a new comprehensive Zoning Code. The City’s current Zoning Ordinance (Title 9 of the Maywood Municipal Code) has been in effect since April 28, 2009, with limited amendments since adoption. The most recent amendment occurred on May 22, 2024, specific only to the establishment of Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) development standards. While this update addressed an immediate regulatory need, the Zoning Code has not undergone a holistic modernization in over 15 years. Given the significant changes in State planning and housing law, environmental policy, development trends, and community priorities, a full update is now both timely and critical.
The RFP identifies the scope of services with details provided on the expectations of the Consultant that will include managing the development of a new Zoning Code to be delivered in more consolidated, user-friendly format with tables and illustrative graphics that clearly communicate standards and regulations that are in
compliance with recent state legislation and case law. The Consultant will also be required to prepare all required CEQA documentation, develop an appropriate public outreach plan, and develop informational materials that can be provided to the public. The goal is to develop a set of regulatory standards in a much more user-friendly format.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no impact to the General Fund in releasing this Request for Proposals. Costs are to be determined, as they will be shaped by consultant proposals, project scope, outreach strategy, and regulatory requirements.
Funding options will be presented to City Council as part of the RFP review and approval process prior to contract award.

1 I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to select the most-qualified Consultant to assist with updating the City current Zoning Ordinance. The City wishes to obtain planning services related to the preparation and processing of a comprehensive update to its Zoning Code and map for the services under a Professional Services Agreement. The City will award no more than one contract on a not-to-exceed basis.
II. BACKGROUND
The City of Maywood is a small dense city located the County of Los Angeles.
Incorporated in 1924, the City encompasses approximately 1.8 square miles and has a population of roughly 25,138 (2020 Census) residents.
The City adopted its 6th Cycle Housing Element (2021–2029), which was certified by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The Housing Element includes multiple implementation programs that require updates to the City’s zoning and development regulations to accommodate housing production, facilitate mixed-use development, and comply with State law. More recently, inIn 2023, the City completed a Focused General Plan Update, which included targeted updates to the Land Use, Circulation, Environmental Justice, and Safety Elements.
The City’s current Zoning Ordinance (Title 9 of the Maywood Municipal Code) has been in effect since April 28, 2009, with limited amendments since adoption. The most recent amendment occurred on May 22, 2024, specific only to the establishment of Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) development standards. While this update addressed an immediate regulatory need, the Zoning Code has not undergone a holistic modernization in over 15 years. Given the significant changes in State planning and housing law, environmental policy, development trends, and community priorities, a full update is now both timely and critical.
The City now seeks consultant assistance to prepare a comprehensive update and restructuring of its Development Code to implement Housing Element programs and reflect the goals and policies of the 2023 Focused General Plan Update. This effort is intended to result in a modern, user-friendly, and internally consistent regulatory framework that supports the City’s long-term planning objectives and responds to current statutory requirements.
While the City’s current Zoning Code has provided an important regulatory foundation for many years, it has not undergone a comprehensive update in more than 15 years. During that time, significant changes in State law, court decisions, and development practices have occurred. As a result, portions of the code could benefit from modernization to improve clarity, organization, and alignment with current planning practices and legal requirements. In some areas, the structure and formatting of the code can make it challenging to navigate, and certain standards or use classifications would benefit from clarification to support consistent administration and enforcement. Additionally, the code
2 currently contains limited tables, graphics, and formatting tools that could otherwise improve readability and accessibility for applicants, residents, and City staff.
As part of this effort, the consultant will reorganize and reformat Title 9 as necessary to ensure the Development Code is clear, intuitive, and user-friendly for the public, applicants, and City staff. In addition, the comprehensive zoning code update will:
• Ensure compliance with current State housing, land use, and environmental laws; • Improve the clarity, usability, and internal consistency of the Development Code for applicants, staff, and the public;
• Ensure internal consistency across titles, chapters, and sections of the Municipal Code;
• Support housing production, mixed-use development, and economic development consistent with adopted City policies;
• Align development standards and procedures with the City’s Housing Element, 2023 Focused General Plan Update, Objective Design Standards, and any applicable specific plans;
• Include a comprehensive legal review of the updated Development Code; and • Streamline development review and permitting processes to create transparent and predictable paths to approval while maintaining appropriate design quality and community standards.
The City now seeks consultant assistance to prepare a comprehensive update and restructuring of its Development Code to implement the Housing Element programs, reflect the goals and policies of the 2023 Focused General Plan Update. This effort is intended to result in a modern, user-friendly, internally consistent regulatory framework that supports the City’s long-term planning objectives and responds to current statutory requirements. The state of the current Zoning Code is as follows:
• It has not been comprehensively updated for over 15 years; • It is difficult to navigate as it is poorly organized and contains standards that are outdated, and difficult to administer;
• It does not fully reflect changes resulting from legal decisions and recent changes to State laws, which are administered via staff-level policy; • It lacks the ability to address modern development trends and patterns; • It has an antiquated list of permitted/prohibited uses;
3 • Some sections lack specificity or clarity, making enforcement difficult in some situations and;
• It lacks tables and graphics that would improve readability.
The Consultant shall reorganize and reformat Title 9 as necessary to ensure the Development Code is clear, intuitive, and user-friendly for the public, applicants, and City staff. In addition, the comprehensive zoning code update shall:
• Ensure compliance with current State housing, land use, and environmental laws; • Improve the clarity, usability, and internal consistency of the Development Code for applicants, staff, and the public;
• Ensure internal consistency across titles, chapters, and sections of the Municipal Code;
• Support housing production, mixed-use development, and economic development consistent with adopted City policies;
• Align development standards and procedures with the City’s Housing Element, Focused General Plan Update, Objective Design Standards, and applicable specific plans;
• Include a comprehensive legal review of the updated Development Code; and • Streamline development review and permitting processes to create transparent and predictable paths to approval while maintaining appropriate design quality and community standards.

During the term of this Agreement, Contractor may perform similar Services for other clients, but Contractor and its officers, employees, associates and subContractors shall not, without the City Representative’s prior written approval, perform work for another person or entity for whom Contractor is not currently performing work that would require Contractor or one of its officers, employees, associates or subContractors to abstain from a decision under this Agreement pursuant to a conflict of interest statute. Contractor shall incorporate a clause substantially similar to this Section into any subcontract that Contractor executes in connection with the performance of this Agreement.
Indemnification, Hold Harmless, and Duty to Defend.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, defend, hold harmless and indemnify City and its elected officials, officers, attorneys, agents, employees, designated volunteers, successors, assigns and those City agents serving as independent Contractors in the role of City officials (collectively “Indemnitees”), from and against any and all damages, costs, expenses, liabilities, claims,
demands, causes of action, proceedings, expenses, judgments, penalties, liens, and losses of any nature whatsoever, including fees of accountants, attorneys, or other professionals and all costs associated therewith and the payment of all consequential damages (collectively “Liabilities”), in law or equity, whether actual, alleged or threatened, which arise out of, are claimed to arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the acts or omissions of Contractor, its officers, agents, servants, employees, subContractors, materialmen, Contractors or their officers, agents, servants or employees (or any entity or individual that Contractor shall bear the legal liability thereof) in the performance of this Agreement, including the Indemnitees’ active or passive negligence, except for Liabilities arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitees as determined by court decision or by the agreement of the Parties. Contractor shall defend the Indemnitees in any action or actions filed in connection with any Liabilities with counsel of the Indemnitees’ choice, and shall pay all costs and expenses, including all attorneys’ fees and experts’ costs actually incurred in connection with such defense. Contractor shall reimburse the Indemnitees for any and all legal expenses and costs incurred by Indemnitees in connection therewith.
Contractor shall pay all required taxes on amounts paid to Contractor under this Agreement, and indemnify and hold City harmless from any and all taxes, assessments, penalties, and interest asserted against City by reason of the independent Contractor relationship created by this Agreement. Contractor shall fully comply with the workers’ compensation law regarding Contractor and Contractor’s employees.
Contractor shall indemnify and hold City harmless from any failure of Contractor to comply with applicable workers’ compensation laws. City may offset against the amount of any fees due to Contractor under this Agreement any amount due to City from Contractor as a result of Contractor’s failure to promptly pay to City any reimbursement or indemnification arising under this subparagraph A.2).
Contractor shall obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those in this Section from each and every subContractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Contractor in the performance of this Agreement. If Contractor fails to obtain such indemnity obligations, Contractor shall be fully responsible and indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Indemnitees from and against any and all Liabilities at law or in equity, whether actual, alleged or threatened, which arise out of, are claimed to arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the acts or omissions of Contractor’s subContractor, its officers, agents, servants, employees, subContractors, materialmen, Contractors or their officers, agents, servants or employees (or any entity or individual that Contractor’s subContractor shall bear the legal liability thereof) in the performance of this Agreement, including the Indemnitees’ active or passive negligence, except for Liabilities arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitees as determined by court decision or by the agreement of the Parties.
Workers’ Compensation Acts not Limiting. Contractor’s indemnifications and obligations under this Section, or any other provision of this Agreement, shall not be limited by the provisions of any workers’ compensation act or similar act. Contractor
expressly waives its statutory immunity under such statutes or laws as to City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers.
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. The indemnities in this Section shall apply regardless of whether or not any insurance policies are determined to be applicable to the Liabilities, tax, assessment, penalty or interest asserted against City.
Survival of Terms. Contractor’s indemnifications and obligations under this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
Insurance.
Minimum Scope and Limits of Insurance. Contractor shall procure and at all times during the term of this Agreement carry, maintain, and keep in full force and effect, insurance as follows:
Commercial General Liability Insurance with a minimum limit of $1,000,000.00 per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage and a general aggregate limit of $1,000,000.00 per project or location. If Contractor is a limited liability company, the commercial general liability coverage shall be amended so that Contractor and its managers, affiliates, employees, agents and other persons necessary or incidental to its operation are insureds.
Automobile Liability Insurance for any owned, non-owned or hired vehicle used in connection with the performance of this Agreement with a combined single limit of $1,000,000.00 per accident for bodily injury and property damage.

Workers’ Compensation Insurance as required by the State of California and Employer’s Liability Insurance with a minimum limit of $1,000,000.00 per accident for bodily injury or disease. If Contractor has no employees while performing Services under this Agreement, workers’ compensation policy is not required, but Contractor shall execute a declaration that it has no employees.
Acceptability of Insurers. The insurance policies required under this Section shall be issued by an insurer admitted to write insurance in the State of California with a rating of A:VII or better in the latest edition of the A.M.

Additional Insured. The general liability policy shall contain an endorsement naming City and its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers as additional insureds. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.
Primary and Non-Contributing. The insurance policies required under this Section shall apply on a primary non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or selfinsurance available to City. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by City, its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, agents or volunteers, shall be in excess of Contractor’s insurance and shall not contribute with it.
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.
Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. At City’s option, Contractor shall either reduce or eliminate the deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to City, or Contractor shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and expenses.
Cancellations or Modifications to Coverage. Contractor shall not cancel, reduce or otherwise modify the insurance policies required by this Section during the term of this Agreement. The commercial general and automobile liability policies required under this Agreement shall be endorsed to state that should the issuing insurer cancel the policy before the expiration date, the issuing insurer will endeavor to mail 30 days’ prior written notice to City. If any insurance policy required under this Section is canceled or reduced in coverage or limits, Contractor shall, within two Business Days of notice from the insurer, phone, fax or notify City via certified mail, return receipt requested, of the cancellation of or changes to the policy.
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 promptly reimburse City for any premium paid by City or City may withhold amounts sufficient to pay the premiums from payments due to Contractor.
Evidence of Insurance. Prior to the performance of Services under this Agreement, Contractor shall furnish City’s Risk Manager or such other official designed by the City Manager with a certificate or certificates of insurance and all original endorsements evidencing and effecting the coverages required under this Section. The endorsements are subject to City’s approval. Contractor may provide complete, certified
copies of all required insurance policies to City. Contractor shall maintain current endorsements on file with City’s Risk Manager. Contractor shall provide proof to City’s Risk Manager that insurance policies expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage.
Contractor shall furnish such proof at least two weeks prior to the expiration of the coverages.
Indemnity Requirements not Limiting. Procurement of insurance by Contractor shall not be construed as a limitation of Contractor’s liability or as full performance of Contractor’s duty to indemnify City under Section 8 of this Agreement.
SubContractor Insurance Requirements. Contractor shall require each of its subContractors that perform Services under this Agreement to maintain insurance coverage that meets all of the requirements of this Section.
Mutual Cooperation.
City’s Cooperation. City shall provide Contractor with all pertinent Data, documents and other requested information as is reasonably available for Contractor’s proper performance of the Services required under this Agreement.
Contractor’s Cooperation. In the event any claim or action is brought against City relating to Contractor’s performance of Services rendered under this Agreement, Contractor shall render any reasonable assistance that City requires.
Records and Inspections. Contractor shall maintain complete and accurate records with respect to time, costs, expenses, receipts, correspondence, and other such information required by City that relate to the performance of the Services. All such records shall be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall be clearly identified and readily accessible.

Such records, together with supporting documents, shall be maintained for a period of three years after receipt of final payment.
Termination of Agreement.
Right to Terminate. City may terminate this Agreement at any time, at will, for any reason or no reason, after giving written notice to Contractor at least ten calendar days before the termination is to be effective. Contractor may terminate this Agreement at any time, at will, for any reason or no reason, after giving written notice to City at least 60 30 calendar days before the termination is to be effective.
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. In the event of City’s termination of this Agreement due to no fault or failure of performance by Contractor, City shall pay Contractor based on the percentage of work satisfactorily performed up to the effective date of termination. In no event shall Contractor be entitled to receive more than the amount that would be paid to Contractor for the full performance of the Services required by this Agreement. Contractor shall have no other claim against City by reason of such termination, including any claim for compensation.
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.
Default.
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.
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.
Notices. Any notice, consent, request, demand, bill, invoice, report or other communication required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and conclusively deemed effective: (a) on personal delivery, (b) on confirmed delivery by courier service during Contractor’s and City’s regular business hours, or (c) three Business Days after deposit in the United States mail, by first class mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to the Party to be notified as set forth below:

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.
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.
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.
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 right or remedy, or (3) deemed to constitute a continuing waiver unless the writing expressly so states.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. No Party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, nor is any Party relying on, any representation or warranty 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.
Headings. The headings in this Agreement are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement or any of the rights or obligations of the Parties to this Agreement.

Business Days. “Business days” means days Maywood City Hall is open for business.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Upon review of proposals and completion of the interview process, staff recommends moving forward with Coastal Building Services, Inc. (Coasal). They have 46 years of experience providing janitorial services and maintains a stable workforce with minimal employee turnover. They attribute this largely due to providing healthcare benefits to its staff. All Coastal employees undergo thorough background checks, are vetted prior to assignments, and have regular training for staff regarding best practices.
Coastal is also part of CleanMart USA, which will provide all sanitary supplies, commercial cleaning equipment and repair equipment in-house.
Coastal met all criteria outlined in the Request for Proposal (RFP). Coastal Building Services, Inc., provided the required organizational information, references, and a detailed approach to performing the work. Overall, their proposal offered the best pricing for the level of service necessary to meet the needs of the city.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Janitorial services are currently funded through the General Fund. If approved by the Council, an additional appropriation of $7,701 from the General Fund will be required to cover anticipated janitorial expenditures for April through June 2026 under the new vendor agreement. Below are the proposed annual costs for janitorial Services, including the recommended 15% contingency for City parks and facilities.
