AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 14.

DATE: June 24, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: GABRIEL GRAJEDA, ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST
SUBJECT: REVIEW OF EXISTING SPEED HUMP POLICY AND CONSIDERATION OF

RECOMMENDATIONS
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council consider taking one of the following actions:

1. Approve the proposed revisions to the City's 2021 Speed Hump Policy and Procedures, as outlined in Table 1 and Table 2 of the attached policy document; or

2. Direct staff to continue implementing the existing 2021 Speed Hump Policy and Procedures without modification; or

3. Provide alternative direction.

BACKGROUND:

On April 14, 2021 Council formally adopted the City of Maywood Speed Hump Policy and Procedures. This document set up local criteria or guidelines that determine a street segment’s eligibility for the installation of speed humps. Speed humps or speed cushions have been used by many communities throughout Los Angeles County as a method to reduce traffic speeds on residential streets. Although they are not recognized as official traffic control devices in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), which establishes official standards for traffic signs, signals, and pavement markings across California, speed humps have achieved widespread use and acceptance as suitable traffic-calming devices in situations where other methods have proven to be ineffective. The adopted Speed Hump Policy and Procedures established a structured and transparent process for evaluating and implementing appropriate traffic-calming measures on residential streets, with the goal of enhancing neighborhood livability while maintaining safe and efficient traffic flow.

The current criteria in place for implementing speed humps/cushions are in need of revisions in order to meet local roadway conditions. Additionally, a review is timely as recent requests for speed humps have not met the necessary criteria. This review also seeks to ensure that no undue burdens are contained in the current policy and procedures. In 2025 and in current year 2026, residents submitted eight (8) formal requests for speed humps along their streets. These requests displayed in Figure 1.0 below did not meet the criteria for speed hump/cushion installation.

Figure 1.0

Page 322 of 420 ends

The following summary highlights the current policy and procedures when residents request speed humps on their street.

APPROVAL PROCESS:

1. A submitted written request to Public Works is received from the resident.

2. The City then decides to prepare a traffic study considering:
a. If any alternative traffic-calming measures were implemented. b. Street characteristics (defined below).
c. If it is determined that other traffic-calming measures were not working, then a traffic study is commenced.
d. Evaluation and determination of eligibility.
e. If speed humps are recommended, then ballots are mailed to each fronting resident. If at least 51% of distributed ballots are returned and signed by the owner of the fronting residence, and 60% of returned ballots are in favor of installing speed humps, the request is then forwarded to City Council for consideration. If less than 51% of ballots are returned and/or if less than 60% of received ballots are in favor, then the request for speed humps will be denied and no subsequent request will be accepted for the same portion of the street for a minimum of twelve (12) months.

DISCUSSION:

When reviewing the applications for installation of speed humps/cushions, staff found that a majority of the requests did not meet the current criteria as defined in the 2021 speed hump policy. The following briefly outlines current criteria that should be met:

Street Characteristics:
• Must serve direct access to predominantly residential properties. • Posted speed limit must be 25 mph.
• Can not have more than one lane in each direction.
• Width of street cannot exceed 40 ft. from curb to curb. • Not a primary access route for emergency vehicles. (Consultation with police and fire services). • Not designed as a truck route or transit route.
• Grade is not more than eight percent (8%).
• The proposed speed hump location must provide the minimum safe stopping sight distance as defined by

Page 323 of 420 ends

the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). • The 85th percentile speed must be equal to or greater than 30 mph.1 • The street must have a minimum traffic volume of 1,000 Average Daily Traffic (ADT). While there is no defined maximum traffic volume, the risk of significant traffic diversion to other residential streets must be low.

Note: 1The 85th% percentile speed is the speed “at or below which” 85% of drivers travel under free-flow conditions. It is widely used to understand typical driver behavior and determine whether traffic-calming or speed limit adjustments are appropriate.

Staff is requesting guidance from the City Council on opportunities to refine the guidelines and criteria and are presenting recommendations outlined in Table 1 and Table 2 which are attached to this report.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There are no fiscal impacts related to this report.

1. Table 1 and 2 Attachment

Page 324 of 420 ends

Table 1
Proposed Existing Policy Revisions
City of Maywood Speed Hump
Policy and Procedures
Current Language
(Adopted April 14, 2021)
Recommended Revisions

1. Speed Criteria (page 2):

The 85th percentile speed (as
determined by an engineering study)
must be equal to or greater than 30
mph.

No changes recommended:

This statement means that 85% of the motorists
travelled at speeds AT or BELOW 30 miles per hour.

Most agencies set this threshold at 32 or 33 miles per
hour. Reducing this threshold any further will qualify
most streets in the city for the speeding criteria and
will not distinguish streets where there is a
demonstrated speeding problem.

2. Average Daily Traffic Volume
(page 2):

The street must have a minimum
traffic volume of 1,000 Average Daily
Traffic (ADT).

Changes recommended:

Recommend reducing the threshold to 500 Average
Daily Traffic (ADT). The ADT is the average number
of vehicles that pass a specific point on a road in one day.

Due to the short length of many streets in Maywood,
many streets may not qualify for the higher threshold.

The recommended 500 ADT threshold is also
comparable to what is established in some of the
neighboring cities with similar short length streets
such as Alhambra, Rosemead, and Pasadena.

3. Petition Requirement (page 3):

In order for a ballot to be considered it
must be signed by the owner of the
fronting residence and only one ballot
per dwelling unit will be accepted. If at
least 51% of the ballots are returned,
at least 60% of them must favor speed
hump installation. The request is then
forwarded to City Council for
consideration.

Changes recommended:

Recommend modifying the language to allow “the
property owners, renters, or residents” fronting the
street to sign and file a petition for speed humps. The petitioners must own and/or rent a property and live
on the street segment in question (not from other
streets). This allows more flexibility and gives the
current tenants a voice in the process when the
property owners may reside in other parts of the city,
out of town or even out of state. One ballot per
dwelling unit remains.

Page 325 of 420 ends

4. Speed Humps near Schools
(page 3):

In the event the residential street
proposed for speed hump installation
is designated a safe route to school,
the City Engineer may recommend,
and the City Council may waive the
signature requirement.

Changes recommended:

Recommend modifying the language to read that “if a
school property fronts the streets where speed humps
are requested.” This will limit application to streets
adjacent to schools where lower speeds are desired.

Also recommend clarifying that while petition
signature requirement may be waived, all other
criteria need to be met.

5. Process for Removal of Speed
Humps (page 4):

A request for speed hump removal will
only be considered twelve (12)
months after installation. The request
must be in writing and have 60%
approval from fronting residents, to
warrant processing. The request must
identify the portion of the street in
which they are requesting removal.

Changes recommended:

In paragraphs 1 and 4 it is recommended to modify
the language to reflect signature by “property owners,
renters or residents”, and add the 51% requirement of
the returned ballots to be consistent with other parts
of the policy.

6. Design Reference (page 4):

Speed Hump design shall be in
accordance with the Guidelines for the
Design and Application of Speed
Humps and Speed Tables published
by the Institute of Transportation
Engineers, 2011.

Changes recommended:

Recommend removing specific reference to this
publication which is no longer a current and reference
the speed hump sketch exhibits provided in the pages
of the Policy and consistency with current accepted
engineering practices as speed hump design does
not rely on a single definitive manual or statewide
mandates like CA MUTCD.

7. Warning Signs and Pavement
Marking Requirements (page 5):

Speed humps must be accompanied
by advanced warning signs, pavement
markings and advisory speed of 15
miles per hour (mph) a least 100 feet
in advance of each hump on both
sides of the street.

Changes recommended:

Recommend modifying the language to reflect
consistency with the latest edition of the California
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(CAMUTCD). For example, either signs or pavement
markings are required but not both, and the manual
allows installation of only one advisory speed limit
sign in each direction when a series of speed humps
are installed.

8. Sign and Pavement Legend
(Page 8):

Recommend replacing BUMP sign and
pavement legend in Figure 5 with HUMP for
consistency.

Table 2
Proposed New Policy Revisions
Recommended New Language

1. Add language that the word Speed Hump in the report may also mean Speed Cushions.

2. Add language that when a resident submits a request for speed humps, before staff initiates an evaluation process which is time consuming and requires a budget, that an initial signatures of 5 residents within the street section will be required. This will ensure that there is support for the request from more than just one resident. If the street meets the criteria for installation of speed humps, then a formal petition process as documented in the Policy must be followed.

3. Add language that for apartment buildings having multiple units, the property owner or manager may solicit input from the tenants and if favorable, provide one signature on the petition (one vote per house or parcel).

4. Add language that the street should have a minimum length of at least 700 feet with no traffic signals or stop signs existing less than 700 feet apart along the street segment(s). This typically will include a long block, or two to three short blocks with no stop signs or traffic signals at each end.

5. Add language that speed humps/cushions are generally not recommended for cul-de-sacs as there is no through traffic and traffic volumes are primarily generated by residents of the cul-de-sac. Cul-de-sacs meeting the speeding, length, and volume requirements may be considered for the application of speed humps/cushions based on engineering judgment.

6. Add language that if speed humps are removed at the request of the property owners, renters, or residents and there is a subsequent request for reinstallation, such requests will only be considered after five years from the date of the removal.

7. Add language that if at the end of the City Staff’s investigation, the street does not meet the Eligibility Criteria, the City Staff will inform the requester (contact person), and no subsequent request will be accepted for the same street segment for a minimum of twenty-four (24) months.

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 15.

DATE: June 24, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: JOHN THORNTON, COMMUNITY SERVICES SUPERVISOR
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A COMMUNITY BENEFIT FUND APPLICATION SUBMITTED BY CONNECTING COMPTON FOR THE RANCH CAMP SUMMER 2026 PROGRAM RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:

1. Approve the Community Benefit Fund application submitted by Connecting Compton for the Ranch Camp Summer 2026 Program;

2. Approve Community Benefit Fund assistance in an amount not to exceed $9,850 to support participation opportunities for Maywood youth residents;

3. Authorize reimbursement in accordance with the City's Community Benefit Fund Guidelines and Procedures; and

4. Require reimbursement to be based on verified Maywood participants who successfully attend and complete the program and documented eligible program expenses.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Maywood established the Community Benefit Fund (CBF) to provide financial assistance to nonprofit organizations, schools, community groups, youth organizations, and other eligible entities that offer programs, services, and activities that directly benefit Maywood residents. The Community Benefit Fund was created to support programs that enhance the quality of life within the community by expanding educational opportunities, recreational programming, cultural enrichment, community engagement, and youth development initiatives.

The Community Benefit Fund Guidelines and Procedures establish the framework for evaluating funding requests and ensuring public funds are utilized responsibly and for the intended public purpose. Organizations seeking funding must demonstrate how their proposed program will provide a direct and measurable benefit to Maywood residents. Funding requests are evaluated based on the overall community benefit, program objectives, organizational capacity, anticipated outcomes, and consistency with the goals of the Community Benefit Fund program.

Under the Community Benefit Fund Guidelines, approved funding awards are provided on a reimbursement basis rather than as an upfront grant. Organizations are required to incur eligible program expenses, complete the approved activities, and submit supporting documentation before reimbursement is issued by the City. This process ensures accountability, proper stewardship of public funds, and verification that the approved program was successfully delivered to Maywood residents.

Page 328 of 420 ends

Organizations receiving Community Benefit Fund assistance are required to comply with all reporting and documentation requirements established by the City. These requirements may include invoices, receipts, attendance records, participant information, proof of residency, photographs, final program summaries, and other supporting documentation necessary to demonstrate that Community Benefit Fund dollars were utilized for the approved purpose.

As part of the Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget process, the City Council approved $75,000 in Community Benefit Fund allocations to support community-based programs and services. The approved funding is intended to support projects that provide meaningful educational, recreational, cultural, and social benefits to Maywood residents.

Connecting Compton is a California nonprofit organization founded in 2019 with a mission of providing educational opportunities through agriculture, ranching, horsemanship, and cultural enrichment. The organization was established to create safe and inclusive environments where youth can learn life skills, leadership, teamwork, responsibility, and environmental stewardship through hands-on experiences involving animals, agriculture, and ranch operations.

The organization has developed educational programming that introduces participants to horse care, livestock management, agriculture, ranch safety, and outdoor learning experiences. Through its ranch-based programs, Connecting Compton seeks to preserve and celebrate the agricultural and equestrian traditions that have historically been part of the greater Compton area while creating opportunities for youth to engage in educational experiences that may not otherwise be available in urban communities.

Connecting Compton's long-term vision includes the development of the Compton Multi-Cultural Equestrian Center, a regional facility intended to provide educational programming, agricultural learning opportunities, equestrian activities, and community engagement opportunities for youth and families throughout Southeast Los Angeles County.

For Summer 2026, Connecting Compton submitted a Community Benefit Fund application requesting $9,800 to provide participation opportunities for up to ten (10) Maywood youth residents through its Ranch Camp Summer 2026 Program. The proposed program is designed to provide participants with hands-on instruction in ranching, agriculture, horsemanship, animal care, leadership development, and environmental stewardship through a structured four-week educational experience.

The proposed program will be conducted at Connecting Compton's ranch facility located in the City of Compton. Transportation is not included within the funding request and parents or guardians will be responsible for transporting participants to and from the program location for all scheduled sessions.

Should the City Council approve the funding request, Connecting Compton would be required to comply with all Community Benefit Fund Guidelines and Procedures, including reimbursement, reporting, attendance verification, participant completion documentation, and final program reporting requirements prior to receiving reimbursement from the City.

DISCUSSION:

The City Council is being asked to consider a Community Benefit Fund request from Connecting Compton in the amount of $9,800 to support participation opportunities for up to ten (10) Maywood youth residents in the Ranch Camp Summer 2026 Program.

The proposed program provides youth with an opportunity to learn about ranch life, agriculture, animal care, and horsemanship through hands-on educational activities. Participants will work directly with horses, goats, and chickens while learning responsibility, teamwork, leadership, and environmental stewardship. The program is designed to provide experiences that are not commonly available to many youth living in urban communities.

The Community Benefit Fund was established to support programs that provide a direct benefit to Maywood residents. Staff finds that the Ranch Camp Program is consistent with the intent of the Community Benefit Fund because it focuses on youth development, education, recreation, and personal growth.

Page 329 of 420 ends

The City Council may wish to consider that the program is designed to serve a limited number of participants, with up to ten (10) Maywood youth expected to participate. While the number of participants is relatively small, the program offers a unique educational experience that may have a meaningful impact on those who attend.

The City Council should also consider that the program will take place in the City of Compton and not within the City of Maywood. Transportation is not included in the funding request. Parents or guardians will be responsible for transporting participants to and from the ranch facility for all eight scheduled sessions. This requirement may create challenges for some families and could impact participation.

Staff also notes that the requested funding represents approximately $980 per participant based on ten participants. Council may wish to consider whether the educational value of the program and the experiences provided justify the requested investment of Community Benefit Fund dollars.

In addition, the proposed funding is structured as a reimbursable grant. If approved, Connecting Compton would not receive funding upfront. The organization would be required to complete the program and submit invoices, attendance records, proof of Maywood residency, participant completion documentation, and a final report before reimbursement is issued by the City.

These requirements help ensure accountability and confirm that Community Benefit Fund dollars are used to directly benefit Maywood residents. Reimbursement would be based on actual program participation and successful completion by verified Maywood youth.

Based on the information provided, the City Council must determine whether the educational opportunities, youth development benefits, and overall community value of the Ranch Camp Summer 2026 Program warrant Community Benefit Fund support in the amount requested.

Staff further recommends approving the request and that reimbursement be limited to actual eligible expenses and verified Maywood participants who successfully complete the Ranch Camp Summer 2026 Program.

LEGAL REVIEW:

This staff report has been reviewed by the City Attorney FISCAL IMPACT:

The Community Benefit Fund allocation for Fiscal Year 2026-27 is budgeted at $75,000.

Because this request is being considered by the City Council in June 2026, any approved funding would be allocated from the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Community Benefit Fund budget, which becomes effective on July 1, 2026.

The applicant is requesting Community Benefit Fund assistance in an amount not to exceed $9,850. If approved, funding would be allocated from the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Community Benefit Fund budget and would be provided on a reimbursement basis in accordance with the Community Benefit Fund Guidelines and Procedures.

No funds would be disbursed in advance. Reimbursement would only occur following completion of the approved program and submission of all required invoices, attendance records, participant completion documentation, proof of Maywood residency, and other supporting documentation required by the City.

Program Overview
vision
mission
Our ultimate vision is a year-round program
that welcomes all ages and experience levels.

Connecting Compton aims to serve those
most in need through adaptive therapeutic
riding, foundational horsemanship, and
ranching skills, while also supporting youth
who aspire to reach their full potential as
competitive riders.

For years, the city of Compton has faced a shortage of youth programs that reflect the community’s rich cultural identity and historical roots. In many areas, access to meaningful, skill-building activities is extremely limited or nonexistent. Connecting Compton addresses this gap by offering a distinctive equestrian and agricultural program designed for youth ages 10–17.

Building on its initial success, Connecting Compton will continue its efforts in Summer 2026 with a four-week, eight-session program that introduces participants to the fundamentals of ranching.

Through hands-on experiences with horses and agriculture, youth will gain valuable life skills, develop a sense of responsibility, and deepen their connection to nature and community.

This summer program serves as the foundation for a broader, year-round initiative designed to provide consistent, culturally relevant, and enriching experiences for youth. We are excited to extend this opportunity to the young people of Maywood, offering them a unique chance to connect with animals, agriculture, and the rich ranching traditions that continue to thrive within our urban communities

Page 337 of 420 ends

Ranch Camp: Program Objective
From Maywood to Compton
The objective of the Ranch Camp program is to introduce youth to the fundamentals of ranch life through hands-on experiences and structured learning opportunities centered around horses, chickens, and goats. Participants will receive a Ranch Camp workbook that provides an age-appropriate introduction to each animal, including basic care, behavior, safety practices, and their role within a working ranch environment.

Through a combination of classroom-style learning, interactive activities, animal care, and horsemanship instruction, youth will develop a foundational understanding of ranching, agriculture, and responsible animal stewardship. By the end of the program, participants will leave with a basic knowledge of horses, chickens, and goats, a greater appreciation for the land and animals that sustain ranch life, and an enhanced sense of confidence, responsibility, and connection to their community.

Through a partnership with the City of Maywood, Connecting Compton seeks to expand access to these enriching experiences and provide local youth with a unique opportunity to engage in hands-on learning that promotes personal growth, cultural awareness, and a deeper appreciation for the ranching traditions that continue to thrive within our urban communities. This summer program serves as the foundation for a broader vision of year-round youth programming that inspires leadership, fosters belonging, and creates lasting positive impacts for Maywood's young people.

ABOUT US
#PRIDE #UNITY #BELONGING www.officialconnectingcompton.org Connecting Compton—founded in 2019—was established with a mission to create a safe, inclusive space in the heart of Compton where individuals of all ages and cultural backgrounds can experience unity, belonging, and pride.

At the core of this mission is the development of the Compton Multi-Cultural Equestrian Center, a transformative hub that will enrich lives through therapeutic horseback riding and equine-assisted activities. Designed to support children, adults, and veterans with cognitive, physical, and emotional disabilities, the center will also serve as an engaging space for youth and community members interested in learning about the equestrian lifestyle.

By offering safe, educational environments, Connecting Compton empowers local youth to grow into skilled, responsible citizens while celebrating and preserving the diverse cultural heritage of our city.

Backed by a team with deep experience in education and leadership, Connecting Compton is driven by a shared passion for community, inclusion, and opportunity. Their vision is to create a lasting space where the traditions of agriculture and horsemanship thrive—opening doors for future generations and honoring Compton’s rich legacy.

#PRIDE #UNITY #BELONGING www.officialconnectingcompton.org Mission
For years, the city of Compton has faced a shortage of youth programs that reflect the community’s rich cultural identity and historical roots. In many areas, access to meaningful, skill-building activities is extremely limited or nonexistent. Connecting Compton addresses this gap by offering a distinctive equestrian and agricultural program designed for youth ages 10–17.

Building on its initial success, Connecting Compton will continue its efforts in Summer 2026 with a four-week, eight-session program that introduces participants to the fundamentals of ranching.

Through hands-on experiences with horses and agriculture, youth will gain valuable life skills, develop a sense of responsibility, and deepen their connection to nature and community.

This summer program serves as the foundation for a broader, year-round initiative aimed at providing consistent, culturally relevant, and enriching opportunities for youth.

Page 352 of 420 ends

#PRIDE #UNITY #BELONGING www.officialconnectingcompton.org Vision
Our ultimate vision is a year-round program that welcomes all ages and experience levels.

Connecting Compton aims to serve those most in need through adaptive therapeutic riding, foundational horsemanship, and ranching skills, while also supporting youth who aspire to reach their full potential as competitive riders.

5 They can be
trained to learn
their names and
come when
called.

Goats have
rectangular
pupils, which
provide them
with a wide
field of vision,
helping them
spot
predators.

Goats are
browsers, meaning
they prefer to eat
leaves, twigs, and
bark, rather than
just grass.

Picky eater Alert!
They have a fourchambered
stomach (a
ruminant's
stomach) that
allows them to
digest tough plant
material.

Goats are social
animals and
thrive in herds,
becoming
depressed if kept
alone.

3 Goats are ruminants, meaning their diet revolves around forage (like hay and pasture) supplemented with grains and minerals for optimal nutrition and health. Their digestive system relies on rumen microbes to break down fiber and convert it into energy. Goats also need a variety of minerals and vitamins, and their specific nutritional needs vary based on age, activity level, and physiological state (e.g., pregnancy, lactation).

Goats consume 2-4%
of their body weight

Goats we work with:
#PRIDE #UNITY #BELONGING W W W . O F F I C I A L C O N N E C T I N G C O M P T O N . O R G The Saanen dairy goat originated in Switzerland, in the Saanen Valley. Saanen does are heavy milk producers and usually yield 3-4 percent milk fat. It is medium to large in size (weighing approximately 145 lbs/65kg) with rugged bone and plenty of vigor.

Lamancha goats are perhaps the most distinctive goat breed; easily recognizable by their very short ear pinnae. They are also known for their high milk production, and the comparatively high butterfat content in their milk, and people-loving temperament.

The Alpine is a medium to large sized breed of domestic goat known for its very good milking ability. They have no set colours or markings (although certain markings are discriminated against). They have horns, a straight profile and erect ears.

Goats & Milk
#PRIDE #UNITY #BELONGING W W W . O F F I C I A L C O N N E C T I N G C O M P T O N . O R G Milk production is highest shortly after a goat gives
birth (freshening) and gradually decreases (lowers)
throughout the lactation period.

Average Daily Yield: A good dairy goat can produce
between 2.7 to 3.6 kg (6 to 8 lbs) or 2.8 to 3.8 liters (3 to 4 quarts) of milk per day during their prime, with
variations between breeds.

Twice-daily milking is standard for optimal
production.

Goat Milk Products: Goat milk is used for various
products, including cheese, yogurt, soap, and lotion.

7 SIMPLE STEPS TO MAKING ORGANIC PANELA
CHEESE

F R O M F A R M T O T A B L E W I T H C O N N E C T I N G C O M P T O N GOT MILK? MAKE SURE ITS
CLEAN
CAN’T DO IT

WITHOUT RENNET
IT’S A WAITING
GAME...

STRAIN YOUR MILK
(CAREFUL WITH THE
WRIST)
Step 1:

Get desired milk
(We will use
fresh Goat milk,
provided by the
goats in our
ranch).

Step 2:

Strain Milk (To
ensure no
contaminants go
into the cheese
making process)
Step 3:

Mix rennet
(Rennet is
composed of
enzymes that are
found in the lining
of the stomach,
usually from a
cow, sheep or
goat)
Step 4:

Allow for the
Rennet to work its
magic. This takes
roughly 20-30
minutes.

Step 5:

Begin pouring the
curds into the
colander (strainer),
letting the whey drip
through. Using the
strainer, continue
draining the whey
until the cheese
curds are a bit dry
without completely
drying the curds.

R A N C H C A M P 2 0 2 6

SHAPE & SEASON

YOUR CHEESE
...AND WE WAIT
AGAIN!
Step 6:

Pour separated
cheese curds into
the cheese molds.

Press the curds into
the mold and pack
tightly. During the
packing of the
cheese mold you are
also seasoning the
cheese to your liking
(We will use regular
salt).

Step 7:

Allow for cheese
molds to do their
work. The cheese
molds will give
shape to the
cheese. Once the
cheese comes off
the cheese mold
keeping its shape,
your cheese is
ready to consume!

Chickens we work with
Plymouth Barred
Rock
Road Island
Red
Developed in America in the middle of the 19th century, this breed of chicken is historically the most popular in the United States. Up until WWII, no other breed was kept as extensively as the Plymouth Rock. The original birds were all of the Barred variety – with black and white stripped plumage – and other color varieties were developed later.

The popularity of this duel-purpose breed came from its qualities as an outstanding farm chicken: hardiness, docility, broodiness, and excellent production of brown eggs. This chicken is usually what comes to mind when you think of the chickens Grandma used to keep.

Originating from Rhode Island and Massachusetts in the 1840s, the Rhode Island Red breed is an iconic chicken in America. Think about all the chickens you see on agricultural information…it’s the Rhode Island Red! They’re a cross between a Malay and a Brown Leghorn. A fun fact about them is that they are the state bird for Rhode Island.]
Rhode Island Reds are a hearty breed and have been known to do well in harsher environments. They thrive in cold and warm climates and can withstand less-than-ideal living situations.

HORSE BREEDS
R A N C H C A M P 2 0 2 6 #PRIDE #UNITY #BELONGING
The exact number of horse breeds in the world
is hard to determine, with estimates of over
600 breeds around the world. The actual
number depends on how breeds are classified,
but a common estimate falls between 250 and
350. Some breeds have disappeared, while
new ones continue to emerge. One common
way to categorize horses is by temperament,
which is where the terms cold-blood, warmblood, and hot-blood come from. Despite the name, these labels don’t refer to actual blood
temperature but rather to a horse’s disposition
—hot bloods are spirited and energetic, cold
bloods are calm and steady, and warmbloods
are in between.

3. Authorize the City Manager, to execute the agreement, subject to review and approval as to form by the City Attorney, and take the necessary actions to implement the program consistent with City Council direction.

BACKGROUND:

On April 21, 2026, Community Showcase Banners, LLC, an affiliate of CGI Communications, Inc. (“CGI”), contacted the City regarding its Decorative Street Banner Program.

The program is intended to enhance public areas, communicate the City’s message, promote community pride, highlight local programs and City accomplishments, and provide local businesses with an opportunity to support the community through banner sponsorships.

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 17.

DATE: June 24, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: NANCY RODRIGUEZ, HR/RISK MANAGER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 6465 OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MAYWOOD, CALIFORNIA, PROVIDING FOR WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COVERAGE FOR CERTAIN VOLUNTEERS PURSUANT TO 3363.5

OF THE LABOR CODE
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6465 authorizing to provide for workers’ compensation coverage for certain volunteers pursuant to 3363.5 of the labor code.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Maywood currently maintains workers’ compensation coverage through State Fund Workers’ Compensation. However, following the City’s membership with the California Intergovernment Risk Authority (CIRA) during the last fiscal year, the City now has the opportunity to obtain workers’ compensation coverage for Fiscal Year 2026–27 through CIRA’s workers’ compensation program.

California Labor Code Section 3363.5 allows for volunteer workers, authorized by the governing board of a public agency, to perform volunteer services for the public entity and to be treated for workers' compensation purposes like employees of the public entity for the purpose of obtaining workers' compensation coverage. In order for volunteers to be entitled to worker's compensation benefits, the Labor Code requires the adoption of a resolution of the governing board of the public entity declaring volunteers to be deemed employees of the public entity.

The City of Maywood has historically used volunteers for many City events and the number of volunteers has been growing.

DISCUSSION:

Generally, when a volunteer is not covered by Workers’ Compensation, his or her only remedy for an injury is to file a claim against the City and pursue damages through the civil court system. This can result in costly and time-consuming litigation and a significant claim has the potential to adversely impact the City's loss history and, thus, increase future premiums. Importantly, it can also result in unnecessary delays in obtaining competent treatment for an injured volunteer from qualified professionals.

Conversely, if a volunteer is covered under Workers’ Comp, his or her exclusive remedy is through the Workers’ Compensation system, which means that they would receive necessary treatment – but at a controlled cost.

Under Section 3363.5 of the California Labor Code: “….a person who performs voluntary service for a public agency as designated and authorized by the Governing Body of the agency or its designee, shall, upon adoption of a Resolution by the Governing Body of the agency so declaring, be deemed to be an employee for workers' compensation purposes.”
The City Council would need to approve the attached Resolution No. 6465 (Appendix A) pursuant to this Labor Code to extend this coverage at no additional cost to the City under CIRA's Worker's Compensation program.

This policy decision would further the city's efforts to manage its risks and be fiscally responsible to the community.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this item at this time.

The City is awaiting the final quote from the City's current provider, State Worker's Compensation, to compare the program against CIRA. The adoption of this resolution will allow the city to immediately provide volunteer coverage through either program during the new term beginning July 1st, 2026.

Future costs associated with this Worker's Compensation will be included in the Mid-Year budget adjustment.

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.

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 RESOLUTION NO. 6474 ESTABLISHING AN APPROPRIATION

LIMIT PURSUANT TO ARTICLE XIIIB OF THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 FOR THE CITY OF MAYWOOD
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6474 establishing the appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 at $15,584,468.

BACKGROUND:

An annual appropriations limit of tax proceeds of the General Fund is established by the City Council through a resolution, as is required as a result of the 1979 Proposition 4, Gann initiative, Article XIIIB of the State Constitution and Section 7910 of the Government Code. This limit, referred to as the Gann Limit, limits the level of appropriations from tax sources that state and local governments are permitted to make in one given year. It also requires these agencies to return to taxpayers any tax revenues in excess of the limit. The City's auditors are required to review and prove the appropriations' calculations as part of their audit of the City. It is the responsibility of the City to calculate the annual appropriations limit.

DISCUSSION:

The prior fiscal year's limit is increased by a factor based upon the change in the population or that of the County if the County's change in population is greater than the City's. Staff choose the population change that is most favorable to the City. The choice of these factors is an annual election. For FY 2026-2027, the change in population is -0.56% for the City of Maywood and -0.64% for the County of Los Angeles. The FY 2026-2027 appropriations limit calculation is based on the -0.56% City of Maywood's population. The change in the California per capita personal income was 4.95%.

For FY 2026-2027, the appropriations limit is $15,584,468; proposed tax proceeds are $10,344,780. The City is $5,239,688 below the FY 2026-2027 appropriation limit. An analysis of the calculation is attached to the Gann Limit worksheet.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact related to the establishment of the FY 2026-2027 Gann Limit Propriations.

AGENDA REPORT

CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 19.

DATE: June 24, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: NANCY RODRIGUEZ, HR/RISK MANAGER
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 6475 AMENDING THE CITY’S

CLASSIFICATION PLAN TO ADD COMMUNITY SERVICES COORDINATOR AND

ADOPT THE SALARY RANGE FOR THE POSITION
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6475 amending the City's Employee Classification Plan to add a Community Services Coordinator and adopt the corresponding salary range.

BACKGROUND:

The Community Services Department currently operates with (1) one full-time employee and (1) one part-time employee who are responsible for coordinating, planning, and executing the City's community programs and special events. Despite limited staffing resources, the department has consistently delivered a high level of service to the community and has successfully kept up with the increasing workload.

On an annual basis, the department coordinates more than 12 City-sponsored events in addition to its ongoing programming responsibilities, including the monthly food distribution program, Youth Commission activities, production of city quarterly newsletter and other community engagement activities. The scope of these services continues to increase as the City responds to growing community needs and expectations.

At the recent budget study session, the City Council approved additional funding to support Community Services programming, further increasing the department's operational demands. Recognizing this need, funding for the proposed Community Services Coordinator position was incorporated into the Fiscal Year 2026- 27 budget during the May 2026 budget process.

The addition of a Community Services Coordinator classification will provide the department with the capacity needed to support program development, event coordination, community outreach, and day-to-day operations.

This position is intended to strengthen service delivery, improve operational efficiency, and ensure the City can continue providing high-quality programs and events to the community in a sustainable manner.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed Community Services Coordinator classification will provide operational support and additional flexibility within the department. This position will assist with program coordination, vendor and volunteer communication, scheduling, outreach efforts, and the logistical needs associated with City events and community

Page 412 of 420 ends

programs.

Because this classification falls within the bargaining unit, the proposed job description and classification have been provided to the recognized employee organization for review and comment. This process allows the City to meet its obligation to notify and confer, as appropriate, regarding matters that may affect represented employees before implementation. As of the preparation of this report, the City has received no feedback from the bargaining unit.

Establishing this classification will help ensure services and events continue to be delivered effectively and on schedule while allowing the department to respond to new initiatives and opportunities approved by the City Council.

Because funding for the position has already been included in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget, no additional appropriation is required.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Sufficient funding has been budgeted for this item in FY 2026-27.
