ESTABLISHING A MORATORIUM ON ESTABLISHMENT OF
ANY TOBACCO SHOPS, OR THE EXPANSION OR
MODIFICATION OF ANY EXISTING TOBACCO SHOPS, AND
DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF, AND MAKING A
DETERMINATION OF EXEMPTION UNDER THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MAYWOOD DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Prior Ordinance. On May 27, 2026, the City of Maywood (“City”) Council adopted Interim Ordinance No. 26-02U establishing an initial 45-day moratorium on the establishment of any tobacco shops, or the expansion or modification of any existing tobacco shops, so as to permit further study of the City’s zoning regulations, which expires on July 11, 2026.
Section 2. Public Hearing. On June 24, 2026, the City held a duly noticed public hearing regarding the adoption of this urgency interim ordinance, extending Interim Ordinance No. 26-02U.
Section 3. Report. On June 24, 2026, the City Council issued a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the conditions which led to the adoption of the aforementioned Interim Ordinance No. 26-02U which was at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of Interim Ordinance No. 26-02U on July 11, 2026, in compliance with State law.
Section 4. Legislative Findings. The City Council continues to adopt and reaffirms the following findings in support of the adoption and application of this urgency interim ordinance regulating land use within the City:
A. The City is responsible for adopting and implementing land use regulations within its boundaries. Existing City regulations have not been developed to adequately address the recent evolution of tobacco shops, also referred to as “smoke shops” in the City. A tobacco shop includes any retailer who sells, offers for sale, or does or offers to exchange for any form of consideration, tobacco, tobacco products, or tobacco paraphernalia, or who distributes free or low cost samples of tobacco products or tobacco paraphernalia. The proliferation of tobacco shop uses has presented a new set of land use challenges. The traditional and widely-accepted character of neighborhood tobacco shops has changed, and newer tobacco shops have been observed to sell smoking paraphernalia that could be used to consume substances other than tobacco, as well as synthetic marijuana substitutes and other products that are potentially harmful to the public health and safety and to the general quality of life. Anecdotal evidence suggests that tobacco shops can create harmful secondary effects in the neighborhoods in which they
are located and can result in significant irreversible change to the neighborhood and community character. The decision of whether to permit establishment of new tobacco shops or expansion or modification of existing tobacco shops within the City, and, if permitted, the zoning district or districts in which such use would be permitted and development standards for such use has not been commenced or completed by the City. The City Council lacks sufficient information to determine the proper land use and location criteria for new, expanded or modified tobacco shops, if such are to be permitted. Finally, this City Council lacks sufficient information to develop and impose regulatory, land use and operational criteria for and upon new, expanded or modified tobacco shops. The City Council does not want to act without adequate information as such would be acting in an arbitrary and capricious manner. Adoption of criteria in such circumstances would negatively affect the general health, safety and welfare of the City as presently developed and negatively impact further development in the City. Alternatively, allowing new tobacco shops without having appropriately studied the land use and its consequence would also not adequately govern and protect the health, safety, and welfare of the City. The City’s staff will conduct research and a review of other Cities’ zoning and development standards regarding this use, as well as investigating the ancillary neighborhood effects of such uses, prior to recommending permanent regulations to the City Council.
B. This moratorium is intended to provide the City with an opportunity to strengthen its zoning provisions to adequately regulate establishment of any tobacco shops, or the expansion or modification of any existing tobacco shops. It is therefore urgent that the City study the options available regarding appropriate operational standards for establishment of any tobacco shops, or the expansion or modification of any existing tobacco shops, in the City to prevent the adverse impacts that may result from the unregulated operation of such uses in the City.
C. The City Council finds that additional planning and research are necessary before the City adopts any operational standards governing establishment of any tobacco shops, or the expansion or modification of any existing tobacco shops.
The City intends to undertake such a study within a reasonable time. Given the time required to undertake the study and planning, the City Council finds that it is necessary that this urgency interim moratorium be declared to ensure that no tobacco shops are established, expanded or modified that may be in conflict with the contemplated new use standards are permitted in the interim.
D. For these reasons, and based on all evidence in the record, the City Council finds that there is a current and immediate continuing threat to the public health, safety, and welfare presented by the establishment of tobacco shops, or the expansion or modification of any existing tobacco shops. In the absence of immediate effectiveness, the approval of such use will frustrate the City’s ability to adopt and enforce appropriate regulations designed to protect surrounding development, use, and the public health, safety, and welfare from the potentially adverse effects caused by the establishment of any tobacco shops, or the expansion or modification of any existing tobacco shops. Due to the foregoing circumstances, the City Council finds and determines that the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare requires that this interim
ordinance be enacted as an urgency ordinance , and that its urgency is hereby declared.
Section 5. CEQA Finding. The City Council hereby finds that it can be seen with certainty that this urgency interim ordinance has no likelihood of causing a significant effect on the environment because the adoption of this urgency interim ordinance will maintain the current environmental conditions arising from the current land use regulatory structure as adopted by the City and will preclude the establishment of a category of use for a limited period of time. The City Council therefore determines that the adoption of this ordinance and the effects derivative from its adoption are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act review pursuant to Title 14, Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Code of Regulations.
Section 6. Moratorium Extended. Based upon the findings contained in Sections 1 through 4, the City hereby extends a moratorium on the establishment of any tobacco shops, or the expansion or modification of any existing tobacco shops, in the City.
Section 7. Moratorium Defined. Notwithstanding any other ordinance or provision of the Maywood Municipal Code, no person or entity shall establish any tobacco shop, or expand or modify any existing tobacco shops, during the term of the moratorium established by this ordinance.
Section 8. Moratorium Term. This ordinance, being an interim ordinance adopted as an urgency measure for the immediate protection of the public safety, health, and general welfare, containing a declaration of the facts constituting the urgency, and passed by a minimum four-fifths (4/5) vote of the City Council, shall take effect concurrent with the expiration of Interim Ordinance No. 26-02U at midnight on July 11, 2026, and shall remain in effect for a period of 10 months and 15 days, in accordance with California Government Code Section 65858.
Section 9. Exception. This ordinance shall not apply to any existing tobacco shop, previously approved pursuant to the Maywood Municipal Code, that does not seek an expansion or modification in use. All existing tobacco shops shall comply with the requirements of the Maywood Municipal Code and the terms and conditions of any permit issued pursuant thereto, and all other applicable laws.
Section 10. Planning Studies. The City staff shall continue the studies they have begun pursuant to Interim Ordinance No. 26-02U, which they deem necessary and appropriate to make recommendations to the City Council regarding the establishment of any tobacco shops, or the expansion or modification of any existing tobacco shops, and the criteria for regulating this use.
Section 11. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase of this ordinance or any part thereof is for any reason held to be invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance or any part hereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase hereof,
irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid.
Section 12. Publication and Posting. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this ordinance and shall cause the same or a summary thereof to be published and posted in the manner required by law.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED, this 24th day of June, 2026.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MAYWOOD DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Purpose and Intent. The City of Maywood (“City”) intends to establish a moratorium on the establishment of any tobacco shops, or the expansion or modification of any existing tobacco shops, for the period of time as specified in this ordinance so as to permit further study of the City’s zoning regulations. A tobacco shop includes any retailer who sells, offers for sale, or does or offers to exchange for any form of consideration, tobacco, tobacco products, or tobacco paraphernalia, or who distributes free or low cost samples of tobacco products or tobacco paraphernalia.

Section 5. Moratorium Defined. Notwithstanding any other ordinance or provision of the Maywood Municipal Code, no person or entity shall establish any tobacco shop, or expand or modify any existing tobacco shops, during the term of the moratorium established in Section 4 above.
Section 6. Moratorium Term. This ordinance shall expire, and the moratorium established hereby, shall terminate 45 days after the date of adoption of this ordinance unless extended by the City Council, at a regularly noticed public hearing, pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858.
Section 7. Exception. The provisions of Section 4 of this ordinance shall not apply to any existing tobacco shop, previously approved pursuant to the Maywood Municipal Code, that does not seek an expansion or modification in use. All existing tobacco shops shall comply with the requirements of the Maywood Municipal Code and the terms and conditions of any permit issued pursuant thereto, and all other applicable laws.
Section 8. Planning Studies.

PUBLIC REPORT PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65858(d) REGARDING THE STATUS OF THE CITY OF MAYWOOD’S INTERIM ORDINANCE NO. 26-02U RELATED TO A MORATORIUM ON ESTABLISHMENT OF ANY
TOBACCO SHOPS, OR THE EXPANSION OR MODIFICATION OF ANY EXISTING
TOBACCO SHOPS
Introduction
Government Code Section 65858(d) requires that 10 days prior to the expiration of an interim ordinance, the legislative body issue a written report describing the measures being taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of the interim ordinance.
This document serves as that written report.
Background
On May 27, 2026, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, the City of Maywood (“City”) Council adopted Interim Ordinance No. 26-02U establishing an initial 45-day moratorium on the establishment of any tobacco shops, or the expansion or modification of any existing tobacco shops, so as to conduct further research and analysis and to prepare and evaluate various options regarding tobacco shops within the City. Absent any additional action, the Interim Ordinance will expire after 45 days on July 11, 2026; however, staff anticipates additional time will be necessary to thoroughly research and evaluate the City’s options regarding tobacco shops. An extension of Interim Ordinance No. 26-02U is scheduled for June 24, 2026, in order to provide such time to City staff.
Measures Taken to Address Conditions that Led to Adoption of the Urgency Ordinance
Subsequent to the adoption of Interim Ordinance No. 26-02U, City staff has taken the following measures to alleviate the conditions, which led to the adoption of the urgency ordinance:
• Commenced research on possible revisions to the Maywood Municipal Code to address concerns regarding over-concentration and illegal activities at tobacco shops within the City.
• Continue to collect complaints and concerns from residents regarding current tobacco shop uses and impacts on surrounding properties. • Commenced collecting data on current tobacco shops and related businesses within the City and surrounding areas.
• Continue to enforce illegal items within local tobacco shops. • Research additional mechanism and measures to ensure the health and safety of the community.
Staff will continue to research and analyze options, collect data and prepare recommendations regarding tobacco shops within the City during the term of the extended ordinance.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.
DATE: June 24, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: RIMO HANSON, FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: REVENUE REPORT MAY 2026
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the Revenue Report for the months of July 2025–May 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–May 2025 and July 2025–May 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. 9.
DATE: June 24, 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. 6469 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 5/5/2026 through 6/11/2026 and adopt Resolution No. 6469 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 $1,969,145.26 for the period from 5/5/2026 to 6/11/2026.
This amount consists of Warrant Registers of $1,647,606.60, ACH registers of $160,887.82 and Payroll Wire Transfers of $160,650.84

AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.
DATE: June 24, 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. 6470 ADOPTING THE CITY'S
UPDATED ANNUAL INVESTMENT POLICY
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council review and consider approving the adoption of Resolution No. 6470 the City's Annual Investment policy.
BACKGROUND:
Local agency investments, including the types of securities permitted, are governed by the California Government Code. Historically, agencies were required to annually adopt an investment policy in a public meeting. Although legislative amendments in 2004 and 2009 made this requirement optional, the law continues to encourage agencies to adopt and annually review their investment policies pursuant to Government Code Section 53646. In alignment with these best practices and state guidance, the City of Maywood reviews and updates its Investment Policy each year.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Maywood's proposed investment policy is fully compliant with the California Government Code.
There are no changes to the City's Investment Policy.
The City's investment portfolio currently consists of funds held in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and traditional bank accounts. Established in 1977, LAIF continues to serve as a reliable and secure investment vehicle for local governments and special districts. Governed by California Government Code Section 16429.1 et seq., LAIF allows local agencies to participate in the State's pooled investment program.
Through this program, local agencies benefit from the State Treasurer's Office investment expertise and access to a diversified investment portfolio valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars, all at no additional cost to taxpayers.
In addition, on June 24, 2020, the City Council approved the establishment of Section 115 trust accounts through the California Employers' Pension Prefunding Trust (CEPPT) and the California Employers' Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT), both administered by the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS).
These Section 115 trust funds serve as a funding mechanism to prefund future pension and retiree benefit obligations.
More recently, on June 25, 2025, the City Council approved the incorporation of CAMP into the City's Investment Policy. The addition of CAMP enhances the flexibility, diversification, and earning potential of the
City's investment portfolio while maintaining compliance with applicable legal requirements and fiduciary standards.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Investment Policy
Fiscal Year 2026-2027
_____________________________________________________________________ The purpose of this statement is to comply with California Government Code Sections 53600 et seq. and to provide clear guidelines for the prudent investment of the City’s funds.
Introduction
This policy was developed to formalize the City of Maywood’s intent to implement prudent investment practices and to serve the public's best interest regarding investment management and fiscal operations and accountability. Revisions to this policy shall be executed when needed through compliance to federal or state mandates and annual review and adoption at a regular meeting by the City Council.
Scope
The scope of this investment policy applies to all financial assets and funds held by the City. The Finance Director is authorized to invest the City's funds as prescribed by California Government Code section 53600. These funds are defined in the City's Annual Financial Report.
Policy Statement
The City of Maywood in addition to the Maywood Successor Agency, hereafter referred to as "the City", through the adoption of this policy shall invest public funds in a manner that will provide maximum security of the principal invested while meeting the cash flow needs of the City. There is a subordinate emphasis on providing the highest yield (return) on the principal. Further, the City will conform to all applicable Federal, State, and City statutes governing the investment of public funds.
Maintain Public Trust
All participants in the investment process shall act as custodians of the public trust.
Investment officials shall recognize that the investment portfolio is subject to public review and evaluation. The overall program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust.
Delegation of Authority
The City Manager, serving as the City’s Treasurer officer, shall be responsible for all investment management decisions and related activities.
Investment Philosophy and Prudence
The standard of prudence to be used in the investment function shall be the "Prudent Investor” Standard and shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio. Securities shall generally be held until maturity, with the following exceptions:
• A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize loss of principal. • Liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold. • A security swap would improve the quality, yield, or target duration in the portfolio.
Prudent Investor Standard: When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law. "In consideration of an investment, the safety of the capital as well as income is part of the "prudent person" approach. Investment officers a c t i n g in a c c o r d a n c e with t h e investment policy a n d exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal r e s p o n s i b i l i t y for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
Objectives
The investment policy and practices of the C ity of Maywood are based upon State law and prudent money management. The primary objectives of this policy are in priority order:
• SAFETY OF PRINCIPAL: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the city.
The investment of funds shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To achieve this goal, diversification is required in the portfolio's composition. The investment portfolio will be diversified to avoid unreasonable and avoidable risks regarding specific security types and individual financial institutions. With diversification, failure of any one institution would not unduly harm the City's cash flow. • LIQUIDITY: The investment portfolio shall be structured to match expected cash flow needs. City investments must be able to be easily sold with minimal risk of loss of principal or interest. Therefore, the City's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet operating requirements, which might be reasonably anticipated.
• YIELD: Return on investment becomes a consideration after the basic requirements of investment safety and liquidity are achieved. The City's investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a benchmark rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles commensurate with the City's investment risk constraints and the cash flow of the portfolio. The City's investment portfolio is designed to operate on a general "buy and hold" premise.
Authorized Investments and Suitable Investments
It is the policy of the City to diversify its investment portfolio. Invested funds shall be diversified to minimize the risk of loss resulting from over concentration of assets in a specific maturity, specific issuer, or specific class of securities. As part of the City’s diversification strategy, investments will be matched with anticipated cash flow requirements.
Investment of City funds is governed by the California Government Code Sections 53600 seq. Within the context of the limitations, the following investments are authorized as further limited herein:

Any State of California legislative action that further restricts allowable maturities, investment types or percentage allocations, will be incorporated into the City's Investment Policy and supersedes any and all previous applicable language.
Investment Pools/Mutual Funds/Pension Trust Funds
The Finance Director shall thoroughly investigate any pooled investment funds, including mutual funds and pension trust funds. Investment pools, mutual funds, and pension trust funds shall be evaluated using the following items:
• A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of investment policy and objectives.
• A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed, and how gains and losses are treated.
• A description of how the securities are safeguarded (including the settlement processes), and how often the securities are priced, and the program audited. • A description of who may invest in the program, how often, and what size deposit and withdrawal are allowed.
• A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings. • Are reserves, retained earnings, etc. utilized by the pool/fund? • A fee schedule, and when and how is it assessed.
Safekeeping and Custody
Security transactions entered into by the City shall be conducted on a deliveryversus- payment (DVP) basis or if held with the same company from which the securities are purchased, are held in the name of or under the control of the agency and kept in a legally separate trust account.
Authorized Financial Dealers and Institutions
City shall transact business with financial institutions authorized to provide investment services in the State of California.
Internal Control
The Finance Director shall establish appropriate procedures designed to provide proper control over investments and deposits. On an annual basis these controls will be reviewed in conjunction with the annual audit of the City. This review will assure compliance with policies and procedures.
Ethics and Conflict of Interest
The Finance Director shall avoid any transaction that might impair public confidence in the City's ability to govern and manage the investment of public funds in an effective manner. The Finance Director or any other official charged with the responsibility of making investment decisions shall have no vested interest in any investment being made involving public funds of the City and shall gain no financial benefit from such investment decisions. All participants in the City's investment process shall seek to act responsibly as custodians of the public trust and shall immediately disclose to the City Council any material financial interests in financial institutions that conduct business within their jurisdiction as well as any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the City.
Performance Standards
The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of obtaining a rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with the investment risk constraints and the cash flow needs. Given this objective, the benchmark for investments shall reflect the prominent and persistent characteristics of the portfolio over time. The benchmark may be adjusted periodically when material changes take place.
Reporting
The Finance Director shall render quarterly investment reports to the City Council.
In addition, the Investment Policy will be provided annually at the beginning of each calendar year and updated as needed.
Investment Policy Review
The investment policy shall be reviewed at least annually to ensure its consistency with the overall objectives of SAFETY, LIQUIDITY and YIELD and its relevance to current law, financial and economic trends and to meet the needs of the City. This policy shall be reviewed annually by the City Council and any amendments to the policy must be approved by the City Council.
AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.
DATE: June 24, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: DAISY GUERRERO, DIRECTOR OF BUILDING AND PLANNING
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF APPROVING A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH
AVANT-GARDE FOR THE PROVISION OF PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING ALLOCATION (PLHA) RESIDENTIAL REHABILITATION PROGRAM SERVICES IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $55,405
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a Professional Services Agreement with Avante-Garde to provide Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Residential Rehabilitation Program Services and authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement, in a form approved by the City Attorney, in an amount not to exceed $55,405 for an initial term through September 30, 2027.
BACKGROUND:
The Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program provides ongoing funding to local jurisdictions to address housing needs and preserve housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income households. The City of Maywood has allocated PLHA Year 4 funds in the amount of $201,957 and PLHA Year 5 funds in the amount of $105,805, for a combined total of approximately $307,762, to establish and implement a Residential Rehabilitation Program. These grant funds are reimbursable and managed by the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA).
At this time, the specific loan structure and guidelines have not been finalized or approved by the City Council or LACDA. As part of this professional service agreement, the consultant selected will assist the city with finalizing the program guidelines. Following LACDA's review and incorporation of any required revisions, the final program guidelines, including the proposed loan structure and terms, will be presented to the City Council for consideration and approval. At that time, the City Council will have the opportunity to determine whether assistance will be offered as a deferred loan, forgivable loan, or another eligible financing structure.
Historically, rehabilitation programs utilize 0% deferred loans that are repaid upon the sale, transfer, refinancing, or other triggering events affecting the property.
On April 23, 2026, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking qualified firms to assist with the initial implementation of the PLHA Residential Rehabilitation Program and provide training to City staff to facilitate long-term program administration. Proposals were due on May 22, 2026.
DISCUSSION:
The City received proposals from the following firms:
• Avant-Garde;
• RSG, Inc.; and
• Naader L. Ho.
Staff evaluated each proposal using the criteria established in the RFP, which included:
• Demonstrated experience administering residential rehabilitation programs; • Experience implementing PLHA-funded activities and working with the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA);
• Qualifications and experience of assigned personnel;
• Organizational capacity and contingency planning;
• Understanding of the City's scope of work and proposed implementation approach; • References and demonstrated success performing similar services; and • Cost competitiveness.
Following the evaluation process, Avant-Garde received the highest overall ranking and was determined to be the most qualified proposer.
AVANT-GARDE demonstrated extensive experience administering housing rehabilitation programs funded through PLHA, CDBG, HOME, CALHOME, ARPA, and other state and federal funding sources. The firm also demonstrated direct experience working with LACDA requirements and implementing PLHA-funded programs for jurisdictions including Lynwood, Commerce, El Monte, and Huntington Park.
Additionally, Avant-Garde possesses familiarity with the City of Maywood's administrative processes through prior grant administration services performed on behalf of the City, allowing for efficient implementation and reduced onboarding time.
The proposed services include, but are not limited to:
• Finalizing program guidelines, forms, and loan documents; • Training City staff on PLHA program administration;
• Assisting with homeowner intake and eligibility determinations; • Conducting inspections and preparing rehabilitation work write-ups; • Coordinating environmental review requirements;
• Preparing bid packages and contractor documentation;
• Facilitating contractor clearance and procurement requirements; • Preparing and executing loan documents;
• Conducting progress inspections and authorizing payments; • Establishing loan portfolio tracking systems;
• Developing owner-occupancy certification procedures; and • Providing ongoing technical assistance as needed through program completion.
Based on the proposal evaluation process, staff recommends awarding the agreement to Avant-Garde.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed the report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed Professional Services Agreement shall not exceed $55,405 and will be funded through the City's PLHA Year 4 and Year 5 allocations. The City's total PLHA allocation for the Residential Rehabilitation Program is approximately $307,762. In accordance with applicable PLHA requirements, administrative
expenditures, including consultant and eligible personnel costs, may not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the total allocation, or approximately $61,552.40.
The recommended agreement amount allows the City to remain compliant with these administrative limitations while preserving the maximum amount of funding available for direct residential rehabilitation assistance to eligible homeowners. At this time, approval of the agreement will not require the use of General Fund resources.

1. Program Methodology & Management
The success of projects often depends on the strength of the collaboration between the city staff and the consultant. To this end, we would initiate this program with a thorough review of the proposal and a discussion of how well it meets the stated goals and objectives of the City. Any gaps, omissions or additional requirements are determined and discussed for possible inclusion in the services to be provided. This initial review is followed by a detailed summary of the methodology, product deliverables and a timeline with benchmarks clearly identified. This document would be approved by the authorized City staff and then becomes the guiding document. Any changes to this original document and timeline are quickly reduced to writing and approved by both the client and our firm. The purpose is to ensure that we are always moving toward the common and agreed upon goal and that the progress is consistent with the needs of the City.
In order for the process and the program to proceed according to the needs of the City of Maywood, it is critical that certain exchanges and procedures occur between staff and consultant. We want to ensure that the staff is fully informed of all tasks undertaken and the results and findings we develop. We want to be available and fully prepared to discuss the program and to collaborate when a change in course may be advisable. Most importantly, we want the City to receive services and product deliverables that are founded on good planning and economic development principles and in a format that is easy to use, apply and update as conditions may change.
In summary, our approach to program management is to agree on the goals and objectives to be achieved at the inception of the project. The process and product deliverables are reduced to writing so that both the City and our firm have a clear understanding of the project parameters and the method by which success is to be achieved. We prepare a timeline that is updated regularly to ensure that the project remains on track and/or that required extensions are known in advance and

Residential Rehabilitation Program Services
agreed upon by City staff. We maintain regular and consistent communication with scheduled meetings to update City staff on the status of the various project tasks and to share findings and results. These basic principles have served our firm well and significantly contributed to the success we have experienced with all of our past assignments.
Stakeholders and Community Outreach: AVANT-GARDE is committed to clear communication, inclusive of internal and external office coordination, coordination with assisting or collaborative consultants, and identified stakeholders. AVANT-GARDE can assist the City in developing communication messages and organizing and managing events and meetings intended to draw attention to the City’s programs funded with PLHA funds.
2. Client Satisfaction
AVANT-GARDE requires that adequate quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) be implemented on each project. The Project Manager provides the leadership and guidance to obtain the end results for all services provided by the company. Generally, a project management plan is prepared. The project management plan defines specific project deliverables, implementation criteria, staff and resource loading, work task schedule with project milestones, and project responsibilities. The project management plan and the QA/QC plan are complimentary, and are mutually incorporative. Daily contact by the Project Manager with each on-going activity provides support and guidance, maintains focus and momentum, and monitors the quality of work.
Regularly scheduled project staff meetings for reviewing and general work status, reviewing technical elements of the project, coordinating and interfacing of activities, reviewing costs, and discussing upcoming activities and responsibilities are all standard procedures of our quality assurance to each and every project.
AVANT-GARDE is committed to excellence and stands behind our reputation to provide only the highest level of products and services in an effort to enhance the quality of life for the communities we serve. Whether working on a specific project or a long-term program, our clients will always receive our blend of expertise to ensure every one of their goals are met.
3. City Provided Support
Ms. Sanchez will serve as the point person. She is familiar with the program process and will aim to prepare concise communications with staff on an as needed basis. By utilizing staff with unique experience and expertise in LACDA and HCD programming, AVANT-GARDE is well versed and able to problem solve the many anticipated issues. As an extension of the City team, our goal is to collaborate with staff and to do this we, the consultants, need an agreed upon project approach, timeline, and list of product deliverables. This activity and the written results are critical to the process and the expected outcome of the program. Regular Communication: The basic elements of this collaboration include regular and consistent communication with the City’s staff. We would

ask that a regular meeting date and time be established as a means by which to ensure that the program is proceeding according to plan and to advise staff of any recommended changes in direction and/or unexpected delays. City Staff Review & Comment: The review and comment by City Staff, with respect to reports and/or other documents, is a critical element to the successful completion of each project and to maintaining the project timeline. Data Sharing: We would request that City staff provide relevant reports, demographic data and any other information that would assist us in completing projects on behalf of the City. All data and information that may impact the various projects and/or tasks assigned are requested to understand where gaps may exist and where new data may need to be developed.

If Consultant fails to obtain such indemnity obligations, Consultant 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,
-6-
alleged or threatened, which arise out of, are claimed to arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the acts or omissions of Consultant’s subconsultant, its officers, agents, servants, employees, subconsultants, materialmen, consultants or their officers, agents, servants or employees (or any entity or individual that Consultant’s subconsultant 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.
B. Workers’ Compensation Acts not Limiting. Consultant’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. Consultant expressly waives its statutory immunity under such statutes or laws as to City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers.
C. Insurance Requirements not Limiting. City does not, and shall not, waive any rights that it may possess against Consultant 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.
D. Survival of Terms. Consultant’s indemnifications and obligations under this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
9. Insurance.
A. Minimum Scope and Limits of Insurance. Consultant shall procure and at all times during the term of this Agreement carry, maintain, and keep in full force and effect, insurance as follows:

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 Consultant’s expense, the premium thereon.

Consultant shall furnish such proof at least two weeks prior to the expiration of the coverages.
J. Indemnity Requirements not Limiting. Procurement of insurance by Consultant shall not be construed as a limitation of Consultant’s liability or as full performance of Consultant’s duty to indemnify City under Section 8 of this Agreement.

Consultant shall have no other claim against City by reason of such termination, including any claim for compensation.
13. Force Majeure. Consultant shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement if Consultant 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 Consultant’s reasonable control and not due to any act by Consultant.

In the event that Consultant is in default for cause under the terms of this Agreement, City shall have no obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default.

17. Prohibition of Assignment and Delegation. Consultant 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 Consultant 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.

20. Final Payment Acceptance Constitutes Release. The acceptance by Consultant 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 Consultant for anything done, furnished or relating to Consultant’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 Consultant, its employees, subconsultants 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 Consultant, its employees, subconsultants and agents.

In addition to the above indemnification obligations, Consultant shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during City’s review of Consultant’s report or plans. Should Consultant 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 Consultant.

AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 12.
DATE: June 24, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: DAISY GUERRERO, DIRECTOR OF BUILDING AND PLANNING
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF APPROVING A ONE-YEAR EXTENSION OF THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH NV5 FOR MUNICIPAL SEPARATE STORM SEWER SYSTEM (MS4) PERMIT COMPLIANCE AND SUPPORT SERVICES OF AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $100,354
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a one-year extension of the existing Professional Services Agreement with NV5 to continue providing Phase I Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit compliance and support services for the period of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027 and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement extension, in a form approved by the City Attorney, in an amount not to exceed $100,354.
BACKGROUND:
The City contracts with NV5 to provide specialized services necessary to maintain compliance with federal and state storm water regulations under the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit issued by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region.
The City Council previously approved an agreement with NV5 to provide MS4 permit compliance and support services, including implementation of the City's Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) Program, annual reporting requirements, staff training, construction Best Management Practices (BMP) compliance assistance, and Measure W program support. The original agreement contemplated optional extension periods to ensure continuity of these critical regulatory services. The current agreement expires June 30, 2026.
NV5 has continued to provide professional support and technical expertise that assists the City in meeting its regulatory obligations while minimizing potential compliance risks and liabilities associated with the City's MS4 Permit requirements.
DISCUSSION:
MS4 permit compliance requires ongoing monitoring, reporting, inspections, staff training, and program administration to ensure the City remains in compliance with applicable federal, state, and regional water quality requirements.
Over the course of its engagement with the City, NV5 has successfully assisted staff by:
• Conducting annual FOG inspections and related compliance activities;
• Preparing and submitting required annual MS4 reports; • Providing staff training related to storm water regulations and BMP implementation; • Assisting with illicit discharge and illicit connection investigations and reporting; • Supporting construction-related storm water compliance activities; • Assisting the City with implementation of the Safe Clean Water Program (Measure W), including preparation of annual plans and related documentation necessary to receive Municipal Program funding; and
• Providing technical guidance on evolving regulatory requirements.
Staff has found NV5's performance to be satisfactory and responsive to the City's operational needs.
Extending the agreement for an additional year will ensure uninterrupted compliance support while maintaining institutional knowledge of the City's existing storm water programs.
The proposed extension maintains the same scope of work, terms, and compensation currently in effect and does not include any substantive modifications to the agreement.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed the report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed one-year extension would authorize expenditures not to exceed $100,354 in Fiscal Year 2026– 2027, including $16,794 from the General Fund and $83,560 from Measure W for eligible costs. Funding for these services has been incorporated into the proposed Fiscal Year 2026–2027 budget.

B. PROJECT MANAGER
Jacque McMillen is a registered Professional Civil Engineer, QISP ToR, and QSD with 14 years of experience supporting industrial and municipal clients with their environmental compliance programs. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering from University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign and entered the environmental consulting field upon graduation.
Ms. McMillen’s areas of expertise include environmental permitting, regulatory review and research, storm water compliance and reporting, engineering design, sediment and erosion control plans, and storm water drainage analyses. She has direct experience developing and managing extensive storm water compliance programs for industrial and municipal clients and serving in an advisory capacity regarding storm water programs to local government agencies within the State of California.
C. PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK
The NV5 approach is straightforward. We provide you with highly qualified storm water and water resources compliance experts. We are prepared to provide you excellent customer service with frequent, high-quality communications throughout the duration of our service. We stay abreast of regulatory changes, including the imminent adoption of the new Regional Phase I MS4 Permit, and we anticipate regulatory actions that may affect your short- and long-term operations. We share industry intelligence with our clients to ensure you are “ahead of the learning curve” rather than having to implement unknown solutions in a reactionary manner. Again, it is our commitment to industry excellence that results in long-term clients that trust and rely on our experts. The proposed tasks described below are anticipated to occur annually for each permit year (July 1 – June 30).
City of Maywood Engineering Department | Professional MS4 Compliance and Support Services | MAYW-21-10371| 13 C.1 MEETINGS
Jacqueline McMillen, PE, QISP, our Project Manager, will serve as the primary point of contact and responsible charge for the contract period. David Renfrew, CPSWQ, QISP/Tor, QSD/P, PMP will serve as the Principal-in-Charge. Jacque, or designated technical experts for specific tasks, will be available to attend up to twelve (12) regional meetings, including Los Angeles River Upper Reach 2 Watershed Management Area (LAR UR2 WMA) meetings and up to four (4) informal meetings with City staff.
NV5 will prepare meeting agendas, lead the discussion and prepare written meeting minutes, as needed, for each meeting held with the City.
C.2 STAFF TRAINING
NV5 will develop comprehensive, customized trainings for various topics as requested by the City.
We will work directly with the City to tailor the topics covered in each of two annual training sessions.
For each topic, an appropriate training style and medium will be selected. Potential styles include, but are not limited to, classroom format using a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, online teleconference using a program like GoToMeeting, or on-site field training. Classroom trainings will include informational slides, participation-required exercises, and instructional videos when relevant.
Questions and open discussion are welcomed and encouraged throughout each training. Handouts of training materials will be provided at the start of each session. NV5 can provide a projector, training materials, and additional support items. We request that in-person trainings are held in an area with adequate power supply and a projection screen or adequate blank wall.
In general, one training session will focus on the use of BMPs for construction projects within the City tailored to the specific risk posed by a project per Section VI.D.8.I.ii.(1) of the LA County MS4 Permit.
Risk levels are calculated based on potential for erosion from the site and the sensitivity of the receiving water body. The use of BMPs for all construction sites, sites covered by the CGP, and for paving projects per Section VI.D.8.I.ii.(2) of the LA County MS4 Permit will be reviewed during this training as well. A second annual session will train applicable employees and/or contractors performing municipal storm water services on the requirements of the overall storm water management program. This will promote a clear understanding of the potential for activities to pollute storm water and identify opportunities to implement appropriate BMPs. The training program will also cover the proper use, handling, and disposal of pesticides to protect storm water quality, as well as the key elements of the Illicit Connection and Illicit Discharge (IC/ID) Elimination Program.
Additional training topics may be incorporated at the request of the City or NV5 may propose additional topics based on site inspection findings during performance of other tasks. Training will include universal information that applies to all facilities and workplaces as well as job- and facilityspecific items identified during review of existing policies, development of new programs, facility inspections, and personnel interviews.
C.3. PUBLIC INFORMATION AND PARTICIPATION PROGRAM
In coordination with City staff, the NV5 team will develop activity specific public education content for the purpose of public education and outreach. Content for incorporation by the City Webmaster or distribution by the City may include, but not be limited to:
LA County MS4 Permit requirements
Pollutant source controls
BMP implementation
LAR UR2 WMA Watershed Management Program (WMP) and Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP)
City of Maywood Engineering Department | Professional MS4 Compliance and Support Services | MAYW-21-10371| 14 Receiving water impairments
The NV5 team can assist the City with coordination community outreach meetings, development and distribution of notices, flyers, door hangers, web materials and other information items and exhibits, with attention to the communications methods (and languages) that best reach each target audience. Informational materials, which may include project notices, meeting agendas, graphics, flyers, mailers, and/or posters, are designed to be graphically engaging and purposeful. This task is to be performed on an as needed, not to exceed, basis. Additional outreach or materials requested above and beyond the proposed budget can be performed on a time and materials basis according to the provided rate schedule.
C.4. INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL (I/C) FACILITIES PROGRAM
Our team has extensive experience developing, implementing and assessing inspection protocols and reporting documents similar to this program’s required elements. We fully understand the regulatory drivers, data to be collected and the responsibility of representing the City in a professional manner when performing inspections in the public workplace. Under the existing MS4 Permit, permittees are required to develop and implement programs to prevent illicit discharges, reduce discharges of storm water to the maximum extent practicable, and prevent the discharge of pollutants from industrial and commercial sites from causing or contributing to a violation of receiving water limitations.
NV5 will work with City staff to review the Primary Business Activities (PBAs) in the City of Maywood Business License database and Fee Schedule and provide corresponding SIC and NAICS codes, for businesses located jurisdictionally within the City. This information will be used to update the Industrial and Commercial Facility Database on an annual basis. Critical Sources with the potential to discharge pollutants to the MS4 should be included in the inventory of industrial or commercial facilities, as applicable. We understand that the City’s industrial and commercial facility database currently includes approximately:
64 food service establishments
28 automotive repair or Retail Gasoline Outlets (RGO) 21 Industrial facilities (6 active IGP holders)
9 other industrial/commercial facilities
The City must conduct inspections of these sites in order to comply with the MS4 permit. NV5 will conduct inspections for approximately 122 identified facilities. The total number of facilities may vary based on the annual review of the Business License database. Both commercial and industrial facilities are to be inspected twice during the MS4 Permit term under the current MS4 Permit.
However, it is anticipated that a new Regional MS4 Permit will be adopted in July 2021. The draft Regional MS4 Permit requires industrial and commercial facilities to be inspected every two (2) years, with the first inspection occurring during the first two years of the effective date of the MS4 Permit. NV5 will perform approximately half of the required inspections each year in order to meet this schedule.
Many industrial entities are required to enroll in coverage under the latest IGP. NV5 has detailed knowledge of the IGP requirements and will verify that facilities requiring coverage have proper documentation of compliance. We will also provide information related to municipal inspections and why it is important to prevent discharges of pollutants or non-storm water discharges due to the local municipality’s requirements under the MS4 Permit and potential or existing implementation plans for impaired water bodies in the form of TMDLs.
City of Maywood Engineering Department | Professional MS4 Compliance and Support Services | MAYW-21-10371| 15 Prior to performing an inspection, NV5 personnel will submit an initial, city-reviewed, pre-inspection notification letter on City letterhead. We will perform the commercial and industrial facility inspections using a city-reviewed form, to include but not be limited to:
Review of material and waste handling and storage practices, Observation of non-storm water discharges,
Written documentation of Best Management Practices (BMP) employed at the facility, Inspection of outdoor equipment and storage, and
Photographic documentation of any water quality violations.
NV5 will develop an Industrial and Commercial facility program tracking inventory that will include the facility attributes as described in Permit Part VI.D.6.b.ii. All completed inspection forms, photographs, significant business communications, the Industrial/Commercial tracking inventory, will be submitted to the City Project Manager by the following June 30th of each contract period.
C.5. PUBLIC FACILITY INVENTORY
NV5 will electronically track public facilities and verify the following information for each facility:
name of facility, name of facility manager and contact information, address of facility (physical and mailing), a narrative description of activities performed, potential pollution sources, and coverage under the IGP or other individual or general NPDES permits or any applicable waiver issued by the Regional or State Water Board pertaining to storm water discharges.
NV5 has the capabilities to create and update a GIS map to display public facility locations and data attributes as required by the MS4 Permit. It is understood that the City does not currently have GIS data layers available for public facilities.
C.5 REDEVELOPMENT PLANNING
The NV5 team has performed municipal project reviews for municipalities throughout Southern California for the past 15 years. We have witnessed, and weathered, the various iterations of the Regional Water Quality Permit(s) and we have a well-established procedure for performing project reviews in a timely and cost-effective manner. We also embrace using a checklist to maintain consistency amongst our project reviews and are adaptable to using any checklist or template currently utilized by the City. Under the proposed budget, NV5 will provide up to 32 consultant hours annually for Low Impact Development (LID) storm water project reviews, as requested by the City. It is understood that each of these projects occupy and area of less than five (5) acres.
Once assigned to a project, our project engineers will review the LID Plan documents for compliance with all City municipal codes and guidelines. In addition to reviewing for compliance with regional and City requirements and guidance documents, we will also review the reports against the site design drawings to verify consistency, BMP constructability, and good engineering practices. Our driving philosophy with any plan/project review is to provide complete, thorough review comments at the first submittal. Our experience has taught us that efficient project reviews combined with clear, proactive communication and solid technical understanding is the key to streamlining project approval. Most of the time typically spent at the first check involves becoming familiar with the overall project requirements and site conditions and reviewing the site drainage map and BMP layout against the preliminary sizing information presented in the document.
At this initial stage, we want to make sure that all impervious areas are being addressed and make sure that the drainage map represents all developed/redeveloped areas as well as checking the infiltration rates provided from the geotechnical reports if infiltration BMPs are proposed. We also
City of Maywood Engineering Department | Professional MS4 Compliance and Support Services | MAYW-21-10371| 16 want to verify if hydromodification controls are needed and if so, make sure that BMP areas have accounted for hydromodification controls. We also like to provide some standard notes for operations and maintenance at this stage to make the applicant aware of what is expected during subsequent reviews. We have a deep bench of water resources professionals that are available to the City for plan reviews and specialized technical support when needed. While our review approach is flexible to meet the needs of our client, we typically fill out an agency review checklist and provide a summary of written comments that is signed and stamped by a registered civil engineer. Typical turnaround times for 1st reviews are 10 business days, but we are prepared to offer expedited reviews if requested by the City.
Our second plan check typically goes smoothly if the comments provided in our first check were addressed. If any comments have not been addressed and could significantly impact the project’s compliance with the MS4 permit requirements, we would bring this to the City’s attention at that time and suggest a call with the applicant. Our typical turnaround time for second plan check reviews is 10 business days but may be expedited if requested by the client. After completion of the second review, project and BMP tracking data provided by the developer will be entered into the Watershed Reporting Adaptive Management & Planning System (WRAMPs), other suitable City software, or database, using City provided identification and passwords. While it is anticipated that the LID projects to be reviewed under this contract can be processed in two (2) project review cycles, we have found that larger, more complex projects (and sometimes even the smaller ones) may be faced with challenging site conditions or design constraints that are not as easily resolved. These projects, and requested reviews beyond the proposed consultant hours, can be reviewed on a negotiated time and materials basis according to the proposed rate schedule.
C.7. REDEVELOPMENT CONSTRUCTION INSPECTIONS
NV5 will coordinate with City Engineers to implement an electronic system to inventory grading permits, encroachment permits, demolition permits, building permits, or construction permits (and any other municipal authorization to move soil and/or conduct construction or destruction that involves land disturbance) issued by the City. NV5 will provide inspections for Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP), CGP or City Projects as needed, for up to a total of 48 consultant hours annually. Site inspections will be performed only when there are active, ground-disturbing projects requiring inspection within the City. At the request of the City, additional inspections can be performed on a time and materials basis provided rate schedule. Project sites that disturb one (1) acre or more are subject to the requirements of the CGP, while smaller project sites still must implement BMPs as outlined in the MS4 Permit. Roadway paving or repair projects have additional BMP requirements specific to those site conditions.
NV5 will utilize the standardized form prepared under previous contract to document any BMP deficiencies identified during these inspections. Corrective Actions will be compiled and submitted to appropriate City personnel for signature and delivery. NV5 will assist the City with notification to the RWQCB if deemed that enforcement action under the CGP is required. Documentation will be provided to the City Project Manager within one week of completing the project inspection.
C.8. POST-CONSTRUCTION BMP INSPECTIONS
NV5 can assist the City in providing inspections and record keeping of LID measures for which the BMP criteria was not previously available. Documenting implementation of LID measures is an important element for the City in complying with their MS4 permit because it can indicate where problems may be occurring with maintenance and operations of these LID BMPs.
City of Maywood Engineering Department | Professional MS4 Compliance and Support Services | MAYW-21-10371| 17 Depending on the results of the inspection, there may need to be additional education and outreach to the responsible party or parties on how to properly maintain their systems and we are well equipped to assist with this Outreach. Our inspectors have experience performing these types of inspections for municipalities and helping to update City databases with current information. Our typical process for performing the inspections and follow-up with the City is listed below. Please note that we are very flexible and can work with the City to adjust if there is a special process that needs to be followed. We can do as little or as much as you need us to do. Tasks that would be conducted by our inspection team include:
1. Review of available documentation including past inspection reports, SUSMP, SWPPP, BMP design, and maintenance covenants for the projects and any enforcement actions taken in preparation for the inspection. The City will compile the available documents for on-site review by NV5 inspector.
2. Scheduling and coordination of inspection with site Owner and City staff.
3. Inspection conducted by a professional knowledgeable in post-construction storm water requirement and BMPs.
4. Completion of an inspection report for each site, using a city reviewed form, which includes photographs and any required follow-up action items.
5. Upload or transmittal to the City of inspection report and records.
6. Identification of potential violations with recommendations submitted to the City for consideration and issuance.
7. Communication with facility or residential owners or contacts as directed by the City.
Based on previous conversations with the City, we understand that there are 13 terminated CGP projects with LID components that require review. The Post-construction inspections are to be completed over three (3) days. In addition to the completed inspections forms, findings and observations are to be tracked in GIS shape and data files will be provided to the City within 10 days of the completed inspections.
C.9. PUBLIC ACTIVITY MANAGEMENT
NV5 will provide on-site inspection services one day per month, for twelve months during the contract period to observe public activities or facilities, with a focus on street paving, repaving, patching, and resurfacing activities as needed. NV5’s inspectors include experts on municipal, industrial, and construction BMPs and the appropriate inspector will be assigned based on the activity or facility to be observed. The City’s public facilities will be inspected to verify that the required minimum BMPs for the specific activity are being implemented. NV5 will make recommendations for corrective actions to BMPs, as needed, to ensure compliance with the MS4 Permit. Suggestions will be provided in writing in order to document how facilities may improve pollutant source control efforts.
C.10. I/C INVESTIGATION AND ELIMINATION
Our staff are highly qualified in conducting Industrial and Commercial (I/C) investigations and source/upstream investigations. We train our field teams on the importance of permit requirements, so they can convey the information with the goal of improving the water quality of our local receiving waters. NV5 offers benefits both on cost efficiencies and consistency by utilizing standardized inspection procedures and can utilize any iPad/tablet database tool, established protocols, work
City of Maywood Engineering Department | Professional MS4 Compliance and Support Services | MAYW-21-10371| 18 plans, and deliverables familiar to our key personnel. We understand the short timelines associated with meeting the investigation compliance deadlines and can be available within 20 hours of receipt of notification from City personnel.
Investigations will be performed in conformance with the requirements and objectives of the MS4 Permit on a time and material basis according to the rates provided in this proposal. However, it is assumed a minimum of 16 consultant hours will be required for investigation and elimination services. NV5 will look for evidence of obvious illicit discharges and note suspected/known discharge sources based on discharge characteristics and conditions near the outfall. Source identification findings in or around the immediate vicinity of the MS4 outfall will be recorded on an electronic or paper field data form and reported to the City, along with any other related documentation (photo, video, etc.). Depending on the suspected discharge source, there are low-cost analyses that can be performed and compared to the expected ranges for different water sources (e.g., Fluoride, Total Residual Chlorine, Boron, Surfactants, Nitrate, Dissolved Solids, etc.). NV5 will contact appropriate City staff or Code Enforcement, prior to conducting a detailed upstream source investigation, if required. NV5 has extensive experience detecting some of the common sources of non-storm water discharges include the following:
Natural waters (e.g., groundwater, springs).
Potable water (e.g., leaks, irrigation, wash water, pool draining) Recycled water (e.g., distribution system leaks, irrigation) Sewage (e.g., overflows, sewer exfiltration, illicit connections) C.11. ANNUAL REPORT
Following the storm water Permit year ending in June each year, NV5 will work with City Staff and the LAR UR2 WMA group to compile the information documented in the tasks outlined in this proposal for inclusion in the City’s Individual Annual Report submittal to the Watershed Management Program Group Lead Agency. NV5 can coordinate with the CIMP Group as needed in order to ensure any monitoring data required for the annual report is received. NV5 will submit a draft Individual MS4 Permit Annual Report for review and comment by City staff. Based on comments received, we will complete any required revisions and prepare the final Annual Report for submittal. Our staff will follow submission directions as provided by City staff to assure that a complete and accurate annual report is submitted to the EWMP Group Lead Agency in a timely manner.
C.12. FOG MANAGEMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION
For food service establishments (FSEs), Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) is of particular concern as it is the predominant cause of sanitary sewer system overflows (SSOs) throughout the Region. Discharge of FOG into the City’s sewer system is prohibited by City Ordinance as of June 13, 2018.
SSOs related to FOG can be mitigated by employing BMPs such as drain screening, early detection warning systems, dry clean-up methods, and FOG recycling. The NV5 team is thoroughly knowledgeable in the implementation of such BMPs for the proper inspection and management of waste waters. We will review plans submitted for development or remodeling of food service establishments to confirm compliance with the City of Maywood FOG program, including proposed Gravity Grease Interceptor configurations. NV5 will also conduct regular FOG inspections of FSE in conjunction with the industrial/commercial inspections as directed by City staff to review facility
City of Maywood Engineering Department | Professional MS4 Compliance and Support Services | MAYW-21-10371| 19 operations and BMPs are effective at eliminating discharges of FOG to the sanitary sewer. Inspection will include all food preparation areas, sinks, floor sinks, cooking, and clean-up areas of the facility that have the potential for accumulation of FOG.
C.13 SAFE CLEAN WATER PROGRAM SUPPORT
The City can receive direct funding via the Safe Clean Water Municipal Program proportional to the revenues generated within its boundaries. The Municipal Program is designed to maximize the ability of local governments to address local storm water and urban runoff challenges and opportunities.
Projects and Programs are required to include a water quality benefit; multi-benefit projects and nature-based solutions are strongly encouraged. The funding can be used for eligible activities such as project development, design, construction, effectiveness monitoring, operations and maintenance (including operation and maintenance of projects built to comply with 2012 MS4 permits), as well as for other programs and studies related to protecting and improving water quality in lakes, rivers and the ocean. It is anticipated that the City will be eligible for approximately $180,000 in funding annually to support their storm water compliance programs. NV5 will assist the City in preparation of the required Annual Plans for submittal to the Safe Clean Water Program in order to receive the allocated Municipal funds. The Annual Plan will include all eligible expenditures for all phases and tasks that will occur over the upcoming fiscal year.
