ITEM # 22
CITY OF MONTEBELLO
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager
BY: Paul Espinosa, Police Chief
SUBJECT: APPROVE ISSUING REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) NO. 24-20 FOR POLICE
AND GENERAL VEHICLE UPFITTING
DATE: August 14, 2024
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize issuing Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 24-20 for Police and General Vehicle Upfitting; and,
2. Take such additional, and related, action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City currently has a vendor to provide vehicle unfitting services for its fleet. The Police Department is seeking an alternative vendor that is more responsive and better fits their needs. Issuing Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 24-20 will allow the Department to review proposals from other vendors in the vehicle unfitting space. Once proposals are reviewed and a vendor is selected, Staff will return for City Council consideration of awarding a contract. At that time, if necessary, Staff will make recommendations about amending the Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The Montebello Police Department currently utilizes Black and White Emergency Vehicles in Azusa to provide vehicle upfitting services. Over the course of this contract, the Police Department has encountered several challenges with the current vendor, including the absence of a defined completion date for projects, frequent installation delays, and ongoing customer service issues such as communication, with calls often
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 14, 2024
going unreturned.
Given these issues, it is evident that the current service provider is not meeting the Police Department's needs. To ensure that the Montebello Police Department receives the highest quality service and support, Staff is recommending issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) process to identify an additional vehicle upfitting company for Police Department vehicles. The current agreement with Black and White Emergency Vehicles does not expire until June 2025. Other City Departments (e.g., Public Works, Communtiy Development) utilize Black and White for their vehicle upfitting needs.
The RFP process will allow for the selection of a company that can provide reliable, timely, and high-quality service for police vehicles. This step is crucial to maintain the efficiency and readiness of the fleet, which is essential for public safety and effective law enforcement operations.
Upfitting involves the installation of specialized equipment and modifications to standard vehicles to meet specific operational requirements. For police vehicles, this may include the installation of lights, sirens, communication systems, and safety partitions. For general City department vehicles, upfitting can involve modifications such as the addition of utility equipment, safety features, and storage solutions.
The goal is to ensure that all City vehicles are equipped to meet the unique needs of their respective departments, enhancing functionality, safety, and efficiency. This initiative is part of the City's ongoing commitment to maintaining a well-equipped fleet. The selection process aims to identify vendors with proven expertise, reliability, timeliness and costeffectiveness in delivering high-quality vehicle upfitting services.

Specifically, the contractor must be authorized and trained by Axon to install Axon Fleet or MAVMobile Audio Video Cameras and associated software into both new and existing police units. All equipment and software will be provided by the Montebello Police Department.
3. Pre-Installation Review: Before installation, the contractor shall conduct a thorough review of equipment and decal packages with the Fleet Manager. This involves assessing and discussing the installation requirements for radios, weapons locks, mobile data computers (MDC), antennas, light bars, and other essential components for various city public safety vehicles (e.g., General Services/Public Works, Fire Rescue).
4. Location and Security: When performing work at their site, the contractor must ensure vehicles are stored securely in a designated area. Precautions must be taken to prevent vandalism, theft, or damage during the outfitting process.

CITY OF MONTEBELLO
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager
BY: Joseph Palombi, Director of Planning & Community Development SUBJECT: WAIVE THE SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 2478 AMENDING CHAPTER 10.68 OF THE CITY OF MONTEBELLO
MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING OVERSIZED VEHICLE PARKING
DATE: August 14, 2024
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Waive Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance No. 2478 amending Montebello Municipal Code (“MMC”) Chapter 10.68 to establish new regulations regarding oversized vehicle parking including containers and unattached trailers Citywide; and
2. Determine and find that this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Section 15061(b)(3), the commonsense exemption; and
3. Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed code amendment will require additional signage to reflect the new regulations. It is estimated 45 new signs will be needed throughout the City. The estimated cost for the sign updates is $8,000. The City currently has agreements with vendors from which signs are purchased. These projected expenses can be accommodated within the existing agreements, hence no budget amendments are needed. Additionally, monitoring the quantity and time of complaints received will be needed to verify adequate staffing levels.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 14, 2024
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Ordinance No. 2294 was approved by the City Council on May 24, 2006. The primary objective of the ordinance was to enhance public and pedestrian safety along city streets and preserve the aesthetic appearance of Montebello. The ordinance aimed to address growing concerns related to the long-term parking of oversized vehicles, including recreation vehicles “RV”, trailers, boats, buses, and other large vehicles on city streets.
In summary, the ordinance restricted the parking of oversized vehicles for a period of no longer than four (4) consecutive hours.
At the request of the City Council, City staff began to conduct research on how to address current parking issues related to oversized vehicles citywide. During this research, it was noted there was a significant increase in the presence of large and oversized vehicles, particularly RV’s, and unattached trailers within the City’s public right-of-way for extended periods of time. This trend has prompted a surge in complaints from residents, signaling a growing concern among the community.
Since early 2022, City staff have been actively addressing numerous complaints related to the extended parking of recreational vehicles and unattached trailers. Notably, as of the end of 2023, City staff have observed a notable uptick in the use of recreational vehicles for dwelling purposes, as well as unattached trailers left on City streets, which has increased parking challenges.
On July 27, 2024, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing and unanimously approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 2478 to amend Chapter 10.68 of the City of Montebello Municipal Code (MMC) regarding oversized vehicle parking regulations within the City of Montebello.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
Pursuant to MMC Section 17.78 (Public Hearings, Notices and Appeals), the following noticing was performed:
• On July 11, 2024, the Public Hearing Notice was published in the Daily Journal (Whittier Daily News).
ENVIRONMENTAL:
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Section 15061(b)(3), the project is considered covered by the commonsense exemption. The common sense CEQA exemption section states that “CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment” and also states that “where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.” The proposed ordinance amending MMC Chapter 10.68 (Oversized Vehicle
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 14, 2024
Parking Regulations) does not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment or have a significant effect on the environment. Actions proposed in the Text Amendment is not considered a “project” under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 in that there is no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
ANALYSIS:
The extended period of time that RV’s park on a public street has resulted in nuisance conditions negatively impacting the public’s health, safety and welfare. Specifically, the complaints the City receives, and/or the type of activities City staff has observed, include:
• Traffic hazards to vehicles and pedestrians creating visual obstructions at intersections, driveways, and alleys based on the size of the vehicles and/or the location where the vehicles are parked;
• Diminished parking on streets for immediately adjacent residents and business owners;
• RVs that are not registered with the State of California and registered within the City and/or are inoperable;
• Illegal dumping of human urine and feces onto the City’s public right of ways, and stormwater system;
• Abandoned property and/or trash and debris dumped and/or scattered around the public right of ways where the RVs are parked;
While City staff respond to complaints and/or observations of non-compliant conditions, they are limited on how to address this activity in a comprehensive manner. Applicable sections of the Montebello Municipal Code ("MMC") are ineffective when addressing complaints from the public. For example, MMC section 10.68.010, has its limitation on the duration of parking restrictions of oversized vehicles to four (4) consecutive hours.
While this provision aims to regulate oversized vehicle parking, City staff have encountered difficulties in enforcement. City staff have noticed instances, whereas, despite chalking and continuous monitoring, the vehicles only move a negligible distance, or move from one location to another every four hours, technically complying with the four-hour limitation. This loophole in the current regulation undermines the intended control over prolonged parking, contributing to the persistence of oversized vehicles in public spaces.
Additionally, the current municipal code lacks specific provisions regarding unattached trailers, creating ambiguity in citing and enforcement procedures. The absence of clear guidelines for unattached trailers poses a challenge for city staff in addressing these violations adequately.
The issue has begun to extend beyond the City’s public right-of-way, with RV’s, and tents now encroaching upon both City-owned and private properties, including vacant lots. This expansion of the problem necessitates a comprehensive approach to address not only the duration but also the location of oversized vehicles parking within the City. There is a
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 14, 2024
need for an ordinance to be able to enforce this nuisance in a manner to serve as a deterrent. The proposed code amendment aims to enhance the effectiveness of the regulations, addressing both the time and area dimensions of oversized vehicle parking.
By refining the language and introducing a permit system, the City seeks to provide a more robust framework for managing the impact of large vehicles on public and private spaces.
Research on Surrounding Cities’ Municipal Codes
To understand how neighboring cities address the issue of oversized parking and unattached trailers, City staff researched neighboring cities’ municipal codes. Based on City staff’s findings, the following key points were identified:
(1) City of Commerce
On June 16, 2020, the City of Commerce through Ordinance No. 754 implemented a citywide ban on RV parking on city streets without an approved city-issued permit. The proposed policy, detailed in Attachment B, outlines the process and criteria for issuing temporary RV parking permits for the City of Commerce. The conditions for obtaining a permit include:
• Ownership or lawful possession of an operable and registered RV. • Permanent city residency within 25 feet of the resident’s fixed address. • Reasonable proximity to the applicant’s fixed residential address. • Absence of creating or exacerbating dangerous traffic safety conditions.
The policy also specifies the principles, screening process, appeals process, renewal process, permit conditions and fees of $40 a year per permit. (2) City of Alhambra
The City of Alhambra has an ordinance addressing oversized vehicles on public streets and providing temporary parking permits for recreational vehicles. Relevant provisions include:
• Prohibition of habitation in vehicles on public streets (Alhambra Municipal Code
11.34.10)
• Temporary all-night parking permits for residents entertaining overnight guests, subject to vehicle restrictions.
• Temporary 72-hour ($15) permits for recreational vehicles, allowing a maximum of two permits per calendar month.
The process involves purchasing permits from self-service parking machines or online, with clear display requirements for vehicle license plate numbers. (3) City of Whittier
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 14, 2024
Whittier’s municipal code (10.40.020) addresses parking restrictions for unattached trailers on streets. Key points include:
• Prohibition of parking or leaving standing unattached, on any street, any trailer, semitrailer, trailer coach, special construction equipment, or special mobile equipment on any street.
Enforcement Options
Considering the models from surrounding cities, city staff are proposing the introduction of a similar approach to address this matter:
1. Enact and enforce an ordinance prohibiting oversized vehicle parking without a permit;2. Prohibition of unattached trailers.
2. Providing options for enforcement including parking citations to towing;
3. Introduce a permitting system where residents can purchase temporary permits to park their vehicles on public streets, similar to neighboring cities (i.e., City of Commerce, City of Alhambra, City of Lakewood);
• The duration of the permit shall not exceed seventy-two (72) hours, including overnight.
• Max: A maximum of twelve (12) permit per calendar year issued to a Cityregistered RV. • Monthly Limit: Only one (1) permit can be issued per calendar month (i.e., if a resident is issued a permit on March 31st, they’d have to wait until April 30th to receive another permit)
• Code Enforcement will oversee reviewing permit applications, and the Finance Department will manage the payment process.
• Fees: To cover the costs and encourage responsible use of permits, a fee of $25 will be required per permit application.
• Penalty: A penalty of $100 will be imposed for forgery or duplication of permits.
This measure is essential to deter fraudulent activities and ensure the integrity of the permit system.

ITEM # 24
CITY OF MONTEBELLO
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager
BY: Michael Solorza, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: RECEIVE AND FILE THE FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 ANNUAL
COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT (ACFR)
DATE: August 14, 2024
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Receive and file the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR); and
2. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The action of receiving and filing the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the period ending June 30, 2023 does not have a fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Each year the City produces an Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) that presents audited financial results as of June 30 of the prior fiscal year. Staff is presenting the ACFR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The City engages a third-party audit firm (PUN Group) to review all financial transactions, produce various statements, ensure compliance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) statements, assist staff in compiling the ACFR document, review sample transactions and internal controls and provide an opinion on the accuracy and validity of the financial statements.
The auditors have provided an “un-qualified” opinion for the Fiscal Year 2022-23 report. In other words, this is a “clean” audit with no significant findings that would cause the auditors to render a “qualified” opinion:
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 14, 2024
“In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of June 30, 2023, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.”
The ACFR is a document that tells “what happened” in the prior fiscal year, as opposed to a budget which is a plan for the upcoming fiscal year. There are statements, notes and financial schedules of required information that provide the reader a comprehensive view of revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, cash and investments, debt, pension liabilities, and other financial data across the entire organization. There are also statistical tables which present a more complete (non-financial) picture of Montebello.
The Transmittal Letter (Attachment A) and Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) (Attachment B) provide extensive detail and discussion of the financial statements and are included in the final published ACFR document – which is available in its entirety on the City’s website. The extensive Notes section of the ACFR is also useful in providing a more complete explanation of the various financial aspects of the City, adding descriptions and explanations to the myriad schedules and tables.
This agenda report provides a summary of the document and does not replace a thorough review and understanding of the entire ACFR, which can be found on the City's website (www.montebelloca.gov).
ENVIRONMENTAL:
N/A
ANALYSIS:
The ACFR presents information by type of fund, with the two most significant groupings of funds being Governmental Activities and Business-type Activities. Governmental Activities includes the General Fund as well as special funds: Gas Tax, Proposition A, Proposition C, Retirement Fund, and the various (non-Transit) Grant Funds. Businesstype Activities includes Transit, Golf Course, Water, Hilton Garden Inn and Home2Suites.
Included in the financial statements for both Governmental and Business-type funds is not only revenue and expenditures, but liabilities related to bond debt, pension and retiree medical liabilities, assets such as land, buildings and equipment, and other useful information designed to give the reader a clear picture of the City’s overall financial condition. The following pages provide an overview of major items found in the complete ACFR document (which can be found on the City’s website).
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 14, 2024
Government-wide Overview
The government-wide financial statements provide both long-term and short-term information about the City's overall financial position. The statement of net position includes all of the City’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources. The City’s net position is a useful measurement of its financial health. Net position can be tracked over time to assess whether the City’s financial health is improving or deteriorating.
The City’s total net position was $68.620 million as of June 30, 2023, an increase (improvement) of $37.808 million compared to the net position of $30.812 million in FY 2021-22. Total assets increased $132.532 million ($554.222 million from $421.690 million).
Highlights of the key elements impacting the City’s net position for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, are as follows:
• Governmental Activities total revenues including transfers exceeded total expenses by $17.464 million ($120.357 million in revenue vs. $102.893 million in expenses). The total positive change to net position was $17.466 million. • Business-type Activities total revenues including transfers exceeded total expenses by $20.344 million ($83.186 million in revenues vs. $62.842 million in expenses), with the change in net position after transfers a positive $20.344 million. • Total Citywide expenses before transfers were $165.735 million, an increase of approximately $40.677 million compared to the preceding fiscal year; with $19.728 million of the year-over-year increase in Public Safety and an additional $10.818 million increase from the prior year in Transit.
• Total Citywide revenues including transfers were $203.543 million, an increase of $39.122 million compared to June 30, 2022.
• Revenues are classified into program and general revenues. Total program revenues (Governmental and Business-type activities combined) were approximately $154.651 million, which are used to offset program expenses under each functional activity and are comprised of charges for services, operating and capital grants. General revenues of approximately $64.213 million are used to offset the additional expenses net of program revenues and are comprised primarily of taxes (i.e., property, sales, franchise, etc.), but includes investment income and transfers.
• The overall increase of 19.38% in total revenues ($39.452 million) for the City was primarily due to increases in sales tax ($972 thousand million), Charges for Services ($17.885 million) and Capital Grants and Contributions ($10.534 million). • The largest City-wide revenues came from several sources: charges for services (e.g. business license fees, building permits, hotel charges and bus fares) at
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 14, 2024
$61.460 million, operating grants and contributions (e.g. allocations of funds derived from Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority Local Return Funds Propositions A and C, and Measures R and M) at $64.616 million, sales taxes at $26.352 million and capital grants and contributions ($28.575 million).
• Revenue from charges for services increased by $17.885 million (29.10%), sales taxes increased by $973 thousand (3.69%) and Capital grants and contributions increased 36.86% ($10.534 million).
• Total citywide expenses increased by $40.677 million, the net impact of increases in Public Safety ($19.728 million) and Transit ($10.818 million); offset by slight decreases to General Government ($2.253 million) and Parks and Recreation ($932 thousand).
• The cost of serving residents for the year (across Governmental and Businesstype Activities) includes: $51.518 million for public safety (police and fire); $23.350 million for public works; $40.098 million for transit (Montebello Bus Lines); $11.730 million in general government; and $4.475 million for parks, recreation and culture.
Business-Type Activities
The City operates the following business-type activities: Transit System (i.e., Montebello Bus Lines), Golf Course, Hilton Garden Inn, Home2Suites, and Water Utility. The City’s Transit System is the largest business-type operation (as defined by operating expenses), followed by Home2Suites, the Hilton Garden Inn, the Golf Course and the Water Fund. (It should be noted that the City sold its water system effective February, 2023. Therefore, the financial statements ending June 30, 2023, are the last to present Water Fund activity.)
Business-type activities increased the City’s net position after transfers by $20.344 million, primarily a result of an increase in revenue ($32.016 million) that exceeded the $13.613 million increase in expenses vs. June 30, 2022.
Total revenues for business-type activities were $99.477 million, compared to $67.461 million in the previous fiscal year, constituting a 32.18% increase. The overall change is due to a $14.820 million increase in Charges for Services, a $11.230 million increase in Capital Grants and an increase of $5.070 million in Operating Grants.
Approximately 40.19% of revenue came from Charges for Services, which was generated from bus fares, special contracts, and revenue from hotel room fees, while the remaining
59.81% comes from State and Federal subsidies in the form primarily of Transit related grants and related revenue from Federal, State and local (i.e., Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority) agencies.
• The Transit System reported operating revenues of $33.491 million, a $4.952 million increase (17.35%) when compared to FY 2021-22. There were increases in Federal and State transit assistance and Local Return Funds (Metro) funding.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 14, 2024
Operating expenses in FY 2022-23 were $38.695 million, a $10.849 million increase from the prior fiscal year. The majority of this increase (90.29%, $9.796 million) was in Salaries and Benefits, the result of vacancies being filled and transit operations returning to pre-pandemic levels. Net position of the Transit Fund increased by $20.643 million.
• The Hilton Garden Inn reflected operating net income of $883 thousand, an improvement of $343 thousand from FY 2021-22. The net income (surplus) is attributable to the recovering economy and the return of leisure and business travelers, leading to a direct increase in total occupancy. Operating revenues increased $1.213 million, and operating expenses increased by $871 thousand. Total change in net position was a positive $711 thousand, contribution to ending net position of $627 thousand as of June 30, 2023. • The Montebello Home2Suites reflected operating net income of $4.154 million, a slight decrease from FY 2021-22 of $442 thousand. Operating revenue was $13.039 million, an increase of $989 thousand vs. the prior fiscal year. As the economy recovers from the pandemic, a return to leisure and business travel has positively impacted the hotel’s operations. Total net position increased by $2.274 million, resulting in an ending net position of $549 thousand as of June 30, 2023. • The City’s Water Fund was sold to the San Gabriel Valley Water Company (SGVWC) in February, 2023. The sale resulted in $16.293 million in revenue, which was transferred to the General Fund as of June 30, 2023. The remaining fund balance in the Water Fund was also transferred to the General Fund. As of June 30, 2023 the Water Fund has been closed out and will no longer be reflected on future financial statements.
Governmental Activities
Governmental Activities includes the General Fund, as well as myriad special funds that record activity related to road repair and maintenance (Gas Tax, SB1/RMRA, Proposition C, Measure M, etc.); assistance to low- and moderate-income households (CDBG, HOME), retirement expenses (Retirement Fund), debt service, public safety (Asset Forfeiture), and numerous public works, public safety and related grants. • Total governmental activities revenues increased by $7.106 million (6.83%).
This is mainly due to increases in these revenue categories: Charges for Services ($3.065 million), Investment Earnings ($2.908 million), Other Taxes ($1.099 million), and Sales Taxes ($973 thousand).
• Operating Grants and Contributions (e.g. allocations of funds derived from Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority Local Return Funds Propositions A and C, and Measures R and M) represent 31.91% of Governmental Activities revenue.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 14, 2024
• Sales tax revenues were the second largest portion of total governmental activities revenues (25.32%). Sales tax revenues increased by $973 thousand, to $26.352 million as of June 30, 2023.
• Charges for services were the third largest source of revenue for governmental activities (20.64%). Charges for services in governmental funds include licenses and permits, fines and forfeitures, waste collection, etc. Compared to the prior fiscal year, this program revenue increased by approximately $3.065 million, or
14.27%.
The cost of providing all governmental activities in 2023 was $102.893 million, an increase in expenses of $27.064 million (26.30%) when compared to June 30, 2022.
There were increases and decreases to different categories, causing the overall net increase. Public Safety (police and fire) increased the most ($19.728 million, 38.29%), followed by a $7.298 million increase in Public Works, and $2.117 million increase in Interest on Long-term Debt.
General Fund
The General Fund is the City's main operating fund. It is used to account for revenues and expenditures necessary to perform basic government functions that are not accounted for through other special revenue and grant funds. These are the typical services residents see daily: police and fire service, street maintenance, community services programming, code enforcement, park maintenance, etc.
The General Fund saw an increase in fund balance of $13.753 million. Fund Balance is now 39.50% of Operating Revenues. The key factors positively impacting fund balance of the General Fund for FY 2022-23 are as follows:
• The proceeds from the sale of the water system contributed to the increase in reserves, allowing the City to begin following its adopted GASB 54 compliant reserve policies. The fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 saw partial implementation of the reserve policies for the first time since their approval by City Council in June 2020.
• General Fund operating revenues (i.e., taxes, charges for services, licenses and permits, etc.) increased by $5.134 million (7.67%) from the prior year which is primarily due to the overall increase in sales tax ($973 thousand), property tax ($1.130 million), Investment Income ($1.084 million) and Charges for Services ($1.262 million).
• The increase in sales tax is due to two primary reasons: the recovering economy as pandemic related restrictions ease and consumers remain active in the retail economy; and the continued local improvement of the enacted (March 2020) Measure H Transaction and Use Tax revenue stream.
• The increase to Property Tax reflects continued improvement in overall assessed value in the City, as well as additions to total assessed value with
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 14, 2024
completed residential construction in Metro Heights and other smaller developments within the City.
• General Fund expenditures increased year-over-year by $13.139 million. The largest increases in operating expenses were Public Works ($4.315 million), General Government ($2.759 million) and Public Safety ($2.752 million). Capital expenses increased $5.228 million year-over-year.
Economic Overview and Credit Rating
As of the date of this ACFR, the City S&P issuer credit rating (ICR) is “A+”, with the underlying credit rating on the City’s outstanding lease revenue bonds is “A”, with a “stable” outlook. These latest ratings were reaffirmed when the City issued $15.140 million in Lease Revenue Bonds, Series 2022A – Golf Course in September, 2022, which have been utilized to refurbish and reconstruct the City’s public golf course (see paragraph above for additional details on this bond issuance). The outlook for all ratings is “stable.” It should be noted that the “A+” ICR reflects S&P’s view of the City’s general creditworthiness.
The financial statements and commentary found in the prior three ACFR’s has been dominated by the impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic. For the results as of June 30, 2023, these impacts have all but disappeared and there appears to be a return to “prepandemic” economic and financial activity. Overall, the local Montebello economy appears to be healthy, as evidence by continued strong sales and transaction and use tax performance. Also, the City’s two hotels are performing well, seeing occupancy rates at or near levels last seen pre-pandemic (i.e., 2019).
For most of FY 2022-23, the discussion surrounding the economy focused on inflation, and the various causes of the generationally high inflation rate and methods used by the Federal Reserve to temper its impacts on the economy. Hand-in-hand with the inflation discussion have been discussions of whether the Federal Reserve can pull off a “softlanding” and prevent the U.S. economy from sliding into a recession. As of the publication of this ACFR, it appears the Federal Reserve’s reduction in the Federal Funds Rate, coupled with falling inflation and steady job growth have combined to – at least for now – avert an economic downturn.
For this and other reasons, it is imperative that Montebello’s economic development activities promote projects that expand the City’s sales tax and property tax base. Looking ahead, there is much to be excited about in Montebello in these arenas, with several projects begun prior to FY 2022-23 that will contribute to the City’s long-term economic health and viability once completed in the near future.
The issuance of $15.140 million in lease revenue bonds in September, 2022 (LRB Series 2022A) has ushered in a new era for the City’s public golf course These proceeds were used to completely reconstruct the existing golf course, creating a championship 9-hole course, a 6-hole “executive” course, and adding lights for the ability to play golf during evening hours. This project will help the Golf Course reduce – even eliminate – the subsidy required from the General Fund. The renovated golf course opened in May, 2024.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 14, 2024
Connected to the Golf Course Renovation Project is the construction of a Topgolf facility on 15 acres of the existing golf course property. This project is funded with the $55.4 million in lease revenue bonds issued in December, 2022 (LRB Series 2022B). In a unique financing arrangement, the Public Financing Authority issued the bonds, with a sub-lease and guaranty tied to the issuance that requires Topgolf to pay the annual debt service (i.e., improvement rent). The completed Topgolf facility is a three-story entertainment and event center, featuring 102 hitting bays, a restaurant, meeting space and a pro shop. In addition to the commitment to pay annual debt service, Topgolf will pay an annual lease for the use of City property ($1.150 million for the first five years, with increases every five years after). In addition, the facility will generate sales tax revenue, which will help boost overall General Fund revenue. Topgolf Montebello opened in May, 2024.
In addition to these exciting capital projects and economic development initiatives, the City finally received approval from the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to sell its water system. The PUC decision was finalized in December 2022, and escrow closed in February 2023. The sale of the water system to San Gabriel Valley Water Company (SGVWC) concludes a long saga of the City attempting to sell its water system. The State Auditor, in its December 2018 report, recommended the City pursue the sale, and the October 2021 follow up report noted this recommendation and continued to support the sale. The City received $15.857 million in proceeds from the sale, which can be seen as non-operating revenue recorded in the General Fund in FY 2022-23. In addition, the City will receive annual water rights lease payments as condition of the sale of the water system. These water rights added $173,925 to General Fund revenues in FY 2022-23.
As noted in the preceding paragraphs, the General Fund’s fund balance increased by $13.753 million, to $28.469 million as of June 30, 2023. The proceeds from the sale of the water system contributed to the increase in reserves, allowing the City to begin following its adopted GASB 54 compliant reserve policies. The fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 saw partial implementation of the reserve policies for the first time since their approval by City Council in June 2020. Details of the partial implementation of the reserve policies can be found in the ACFR (i.e.,Note 13).
In FY 2022-23, the City continued critical work related to upgrading its information technology and cybersecurity infrastructure. This project has been funded using a portion of the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) revenue the City received between May 2021 and 2022. The total $16.59 million in CSLFRF revenue received by Montebello has been categorized as “revenue loss,” as permitted by U.S. Treasury Interim Final and Final Rules. This much needed funding has allowed the City to fast-track the technology upgrade, improving security, storage and productivity hardware and software.
These are just a few highlights of the many projects underway in Montebello that are aimed at improving residents’ lives and helping to put the City on a long-term path to financial stability and sustainability. Some other projects that either began or were continued into FY 2022-23 are the following:
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 14, 2024
• Utilization of $15.140 million in bonds to fully renovate and rejuvenate the City’s public golf course
• Utilizing bond proceeds to construct a Topgolf on 15 acres of the City’s public golf course

June 30, 2024
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) of the City of Montebello (the “City”) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 is submitted as prepared by the City’s Finance Department. The report is published to provide the City Council, community and other interested parties detailed financial and operational information about the City for the previous fiscal year. The financial statements are audited by a third-party accounting firm, providing assurance to the public that the City’s financial reporting and associated operations meet or exceed generally accepted accounting and auditing standards.
The ACFR is presented in three sections: the Introductory Section, the Financial Section, and the Statistical Section. The Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is the most useful for readers of the ACFR to find a general overview of the City’s financial condition at year-end, providing highlights of significant changes or key events impacting year-end financial results.
Responsibility for both the accuracy of the financial report and the completeness and fairness of the presentation rests with the City. To the best of our knowledge, the information presented is accurate in all material aspects and includes all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the City’s financial activities.
The City prepared the ACFR using the financial reporting requirements outlined in the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34. This statement requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of a Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) section. This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City’s MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors in the financial section of the ACFR.
The City requires that its financial statements be audited by an independent, accredited auditing firm on an annual basis. This requirement has been satisfied, and the auditor’s opinion is included in the financial section of the ACFR.
In addition, the City is required to undergo an annual single audit to conform to the provisions of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). This requirement has also been satisfied, with the single audit published separately as a stand-alone document.
THE FINANCIAL REPORTING ENTITY
This report includes activity of all funds of the City, with presentation in the ACFR being done on a major vs. other funds basis. All funds have their appropriations approved by the governing body (i.e., City Council) through the annual budget development process. In addition to the General Fund, other governmental and enterprise funds are utilized to record financial activity. Each fund is appropriated annually, and includes the General Fund, Proposition A, Proposition C, Measure M,
ATTACHMENT A
ii
Measure R, HOME, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Gas Tax, Grants (nonTransit), Asset Forfeiture, Grants (Transit), Debt Service, Retirement, Asset Forfeiture, etc.
Revenue and expenditures are appropriated through the budget process, with the FY 2022-23 budget (all funds) adopted at a regular City Council meeting in June 2022, and amended as needed throughout the fiscal year.
The City provides a full range of municipal services including police and fire protection, street maintenance, transit (Montebello Bus Lines) planning and community development, parks and recreation services, financial planning, treasury management, information technology, human resources, engineering, code enforcement and general administration.
The City also operates several enterprise funds, which include a municipal golf course, a transportation system (Montebello Bus Lines), and two hotels (i.e., Hilton Garden Inn and Home2Suites). Enterprise funds are financed from user charges (e.g., green fees, room charges, bus fares, etc.) and revenue from other governmental agencies (e.g., Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority funding for fixed transit lines), as applicable. It should be noted that the City finalized the sale of its water system in FY 2022-23. This ACFR includes appropriate updates to show the sale of the water system and dissolution of the separate enterprise fund that had been utilized to record water system revenue and expense activities.
ACCOUNTING SYSTEM
The modified accrual basis of accounting is followed for governmental fund types and the accrual basis of accounting is followed for proprietary and fiduciary fund types. In reviewing and developing the City’s accounting system, consideration is given to the adequacy of internal accounting controls. Internal accounting controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance regarding:
The safeguarding of assets against losses from unauthorized use or disposition and the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets.
The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost control procedures should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and that the evaluation of costs and benefits require estimates and judgment by management.
All internal control evaluations occur within the above framework.
As discussed more fully below, management has made a concerted effort to improve internal controls by updating the Municipal Code, creating and implementing new procedures and policies, implementing a regime of regular training and generally ensuring internal policies and procedures are efficient while not sacrificing requisite safeguards against fraud, waste and abuse.
BUDGETARY CONTROL
In addition to internal accounting controls, the City also maintains budgetary controls. The objective of these budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with the City’s budget policy approved by the City Council as incorporated in the budget adoption resolution. Appropriations of the General Fund, special revenue funds, debt service funds, and capital project funds are included in the annual approved budget. The City’s adopted budget document includes detailed
iii
information about the approval process. A budget calendar, various budget schedules and related policies can be found in that document.
Budgetary control is maintained at a functional level by division within the department through the use of object code level accounting as actual expenditures are compared to appropriations. As purchase orders are approved, appropriations are encumbered. Encumbrances and expenditures, which would cause an overrun of appropriations, require an approved budget transfer, which is reviewed and approved by the Director of Finance, pursuant to the Annual Budget Resolution and the Municipal Code. The City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is adopted at the same time as the operational budget and includes various street and infrastructure improvement projects. Any action to increase total appropriations requires approval by a majority vote of the City Council.
IMPROVEMENTS TO INTERNAL CONTROLS
Over the span of the last five years the City has put into place numerous new procedures and policies aimed at improving internal controls governing procurement, invoice approval, purchase orders, contracts/agreements, requests for proposals/quotes, etc.. The City’s municipal code chapters dealing with purchasing and procurement were updated in March 2019, February 2022 and February 2023 – utilizing best practice language found in neighboring cities’ municipal codes and aimed at improving and professionalizing Montebello’s procurement practices. In addition, citywide purchasing training has been conducted at least three times per year since 2020. Several new administrative policies have been developed that addressed identified areas of weakness:
petty cash handling, credit card use, hotel financial reporting, issuance of RFPs/RFQs, etc., while other existing policies were updated.
The improvements made in organizational management and internal controls indicate that Montebello is making positive strides in ensuring future financial stability, as well as putting into place policies and procedures that ensure public funds are managed and spent wisely.
ADOPTION OF FORMAL RESERVE POLICIES
In addition to improvements to internal controls, the City is demonstrating its commitment to fiscal sustainability by the adoption of General Fund reserve policies. The City Council first adopted comprehensive reserve policies in June 2020. These policies are incorporated into the adopted budget document and are presented annually for review and approval by the City Council, which has been done every June since 2020. The reserve policies in effect for FY 2022-23 were approved in June 2022.
Having such written policies indicates to third parties (i.e., credit rating agencies) that Montebello has a clear plan for how to manage General Fund reserves – spendable and non-spendable. Fully compliant with GASB 54, the policies establish distinct reserve categories for various uses:
Economic Uncertainties
Unfunded Liabilities
Equipment/Technology Replacement and Upgrade
Capital Improvement (Unfunded/Un-programmed)
Deferred Maintenance
Insurance – Risk Management
Economic Sustainability
iv
Each reserve category sets aside a specific amount – either a fixed dollar amount or an amount calculated as a percentage of prior year operating revenues. The policy, per GASB 54, makes “commitments” or “assignments,” and describes the method by which each reserve can be utilized. Furthermore, the policy includes the method for replenishing the various reserve buckets, should they be used and fall below the pre-scribed amounts. The FY 2022-23 adopted budget document contains the Reserve Policies.
Reserve balances in the General Fund as of June 30, 2023 are sufficient enough to provide for partial implementation of the Reserve Policies. General Fund fund balance increased by $13.752 million from June 30, 2022, to $28.468 million, allowing for Commitments for Economic Uncertainties ($18.020 million) and Unfunded Liabilities ($3.604 million) to be made, as well as the Capital Improvement Assignment ($3.604 million). The June 30, 2023 fund balance is 39.50% of operating revenues. Should future fund balances continue to grow, additional designations per the reserve policies will be made.
GENERAL INFORMATION AND ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
The City was incorporated on October 16, 1920 and is progressing positively into its second century of existence. The City is a general law city and functions under the City Council-Manager form of government. The City is governed by a legislative body of five City Councilmembers elected by district (as of November 2022) and serving staggered, four-year terms, with the Mayor and Mayor Pro-Tem selected by fellow Councilmembers. The City Clerk and City Treasurer are also elected to four- year terms. The City Manager and City Attorney are appointed by the City Council.
The City is located nine miles east of the Los Angeles Civic Center, with access to three freeways – the Santa Ana Interstate 5 Freeway to the south, the Pomona State Route 60 Freeway to the north, and the San Gabriel River Interstate 605 Freeway to the east. The City has a population of approximately 64,000 living in an area of 8.2 square miles. The City is a balanced community with industrial, residential, and commercial areas.
The financial statements and commentary found in the prior three ACFR’s has been dominated by the impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic. For the results as of June 30, 2023, these impacts have all but disappeared and there appears to be a return to “pre-pandemic” economic and financial activity. Overall, the local Montebello economy appears to be healthy, as evidence by continued strong sales and transaction and use tax performance, as well as steady growth in assessed value (i.e., property tax). Also, the City’s two hotels are performing well, seeing occupancy rates at or near levels last seen pre-pandemic (i.e., 2019).
For most of FY 2022-23, the discussion surrounding the economy focused on inflation, and the various causes of the generationally high inflation rate and methods used by the Federal Reserve to temper its impacts on the economy. Hand-in-hand with the inflation discussion have been discussions of whether the Federal Reserve can pull off a “soft-landing” and prevent the U.S. economy from sliding into a recession. As of the publication of this ACFR, it appears the Federal Reserve’s reduction in the Federal Funds Rate, coupled with falling inflation and steady job growth have combined to – at least for now – avert an economic downturn.
v
For this and other reasons, it is imperative that Montebello’s economic development activities promote projects that expand the City’s sales tax and property tax base. Looking ahead, there is much to be excited about in Montebello in these arenas, with several projects begun prior to FY 2022-23 that will contribute to the City’s long-term economic health and viability once completed in the near future.
The issuance of $15.140 million in lease revenue bonds in September, 2022 (LRB Series 2022A) has ushered in a new era for the City’s public golf course These proceeds will be used to completely reconstruct the existing golf course, creating a championship 9-hole course, a 6-hole “executive” course, and adding lights for the ability to play golf during evening hours. This project will help the Golf Course reduce – even eliminate – the subsidy required from the General Fund.
The renovated golf course was opened in May, 2024.
Connected to the Golf Course Renovation Project is the construction of a Topgolf facility on 15 acres of the existing golf course property. This project is funded with the $55.4 million in lease revenue bonds issued in December, 2022 (LRB Series 2022B). In a unique financing arrangement, the Public Financing Authority issued the bonds, with a sub-lease and guaranty tied to the issuance that requires Topgolf to pay the annual debt service (i.e., improvement rent). The completed Topgolf facility will be a three-story entertainment and event center, featuring 102 hitting bays, a restaurant, meeting space and a pro shop. In addition to the commitment to pay annual debt service, Topgolf will pay an annual lease for the use of City property ($1.150 million for the first five years, with increases every five years after). In addition, the facility will generate sales tax revenue, which will help boost overall General Fund revenue. Topgolf Montebello was opened in May, 2024.
In addition to these exciting capital projects and economic development initiatives, the City finally received approval from the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to sell its water system. The PUC decision was finalized in December 2022, and escrow closed in February 2023. The sale of the water system to San Gabriel Valley Water Company (SGVWC) concludes a long saga of the City attempting to sell its water system. The State Auditor, in its December 2018 report, recommended the City pursue the sale, and the October 2021 follow up report noted this recommendation and continued to support the sale. The City received $15.857 million in proceeds from the sale, which can be seen as a transfer in the General Fund in FY 2022-23. In addition, the City will receive annual water rights lease payments as condition of the sale of the water system. These water rights added $173,925 to General Fund revenues in FY 2022-23.
As noted in the preceding pages, the General Fund’s fund balance increased by $13.753 million, to $28.469 million as of June 30, 2023. The proceeds from the sale of the water system contributed to the increase in reserves, allowing the City to begin following its adopted GASB 54 compliant reserve policies. The fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 saw partial implementation of the reserve policies for the first time since their approval by City Council in June 2020. Two Commitments – Economic Uncertainties and Unfunded Liabilities – and one Assignment – Capital Projects – were reserved in fund balance. Details can be found in Note 13.
In FY 2022-23, the City continued critical work related to upgrading its information technology and cybersecurity infrastructure. This project has been funded using a portion of the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) revenue the City received between May 2021 and 2022. The total $16.59 million in CSLFRF revenue received by the City has been categorized as “revenue loss,” as permitted by U.S. Treasury Interim Final and Final Rules. This much needed funding has allowed the City to fast-track the technology upgrade, improving security, storage and
vi
productivity hardware and software. The project will continue in subsequent fiscal years, with completion anticipated sometime in FY 2023-24.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS
Montebello has made tremendous strides by improving its financial standing and overall operations in recent years, and this progress continued in Fiscal Year 2022-23. In addition to the many accomplishments discussed in the preceding pages, some of the many positive accomplishments this past year include:
Utilization of $15.140 million in bonds to fully renovate and rejuvenate the City’s public golf course
Utilizing bond proceeds to construct a Topgolf on 15 acres of the City’s public golf course Completion of a portion of the “Paving the Way” projects that improved residential street and road conditions
Major repairs to the City’s aging sewer system, utilizing a portion of the City’s CSLFRF funding allocation
Expansion of the Montebello Community Assistance Program (MCAP) aimed at helping the City’s unhoused population
Significant progress on the City’s General Plan update, the first in over forty years, with anticipated City Council adoption by April, 2024
Completion of a park and facilities needs assessment study and master plan Completion of significant facility repair and upgrade projects, eliminating years of deferred maintenance on key City facilities
Introduction of improved purchasing and procurement guidelines Receiving the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) award for budget preparation for the third time in the history of the City Approval to finance installation of solar panels at City facilities Management and the City Council continue to be dedicated to improving Montebello’s long-term financial sustainability. Pursuing projects that are externally and internally focused – capital and infrastructure projects as well as organizational improvements – will strengthen Montebello’s abilities to weather changes in the economy as well as the “next pandemic,” in whatever form that may appear.
These and other accomplishments have helped set Montebello on the right path towards fiscal sustainability and operational stability. The following pages provide technical information related to the City’s accounting system, budgetary control, cash and investments, etc. Greater detail is available in the MD&A, the various notes to the financial statements, required supplementary information (RSI) and statistical sections.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The preparation of the City's ACFR could not have been accomplished without the dedicated services of the entire Finance Department, as well as assistance from each of the operating departments. I want to specifically thank the entire Finance Department, and especially the
Accounting Division, for their commitment to ensuring the ACFR was completed accurately. The City's independent auditor- The Pun Group - provided invaluable assistance and expert advice in completing the ACFR.
I also want to thank the City Council, the Executive Management Team and City staff for their interest and support of the financial operations of the City and helping ensure Montebello thrives financially and operationally.
Respectfully submitted,
Michael Solorza
Director of Finance

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
5 The following section represents Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). It is intended to provide narrative overview and analysis on the City’s financial performance for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. Readers are encouraged to consider the information presented here in conjunction with the accompanying letter of transmittal and financial statements.
Overview of the Financial Statements
The City's basic financial statements consist of three components: 1) Government-wide Financial Statements, 2) Fund Financial Statements, and 3) Notes to the Basic Financial Statements. The Statistical section at the end of this report provides supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements. Government-wide Financial Statements are prepared using accrual accounting method to demonstrate the City’s operational accountability, while the Fund Financial Statements are based on modified-accrual accounting method to demonstrate its budgetary accountability. Reconciliations of the Fund Financial Statements to the Government-wide Financial Statements are provided to explain to readers the differences created by this integrated approach.
Government-wide Financial Statements
The Government-wide Financial Statements provide a broad overview of the City's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The statements present information about the functions of the City principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities). The governmental activities of the City include general government (i.e., administration, finance, human resources, elected officials, etc.) public safety, public works, parks and recreation, and housing and community development. Business-type activities of the City include water, golf course, transportation and hotel operations. These statements include all assets of the City as well as all liabilities (including long-term debt). Additionally, certain eliminations have occurred as prescribed by the statement in regard to inter-fund activity, payables, and receivables.
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities report information about the City as a whole and about its activities. These statements include all assets and liabilities of the City using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used by most private sector companies. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
The government-wide financial statements can be found immediately following this discussion and analysis.
Fund Financial Statements
The Fund Financial Statements include statements for three categories of activities: Governmental Funds, Proprietary Funds and Fiduciary Funds. The governmental activities are prepared using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting.
A Fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as Governmental Activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term financing requirements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
6 Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the Government-wide Financial Statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund Balance Sheet and the governmental fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains various individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet, and in the Governmental Funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances, for the General Fund, the Retirement Special Revenue Fund, the Public Financing Authority Debt Service Fund, and the Housing Successor Special Revenue Fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these other governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report. As a result of Assembly Bills 1X26 and 1484, Redevelopment Agency assets and liabilities are no longer a part of the governmental funds of the City and are now reported in the Fiduciary Fund section of the financial statements.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for all of its individual funds, including the major funds as listed above.
The basic financial statements include a budgetary comparison statement for the General Fund. The budgetary comparison statement has been provided to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found immediately following the government-wide financial statements.
Proprietary Funds. Proprietary funds are generally used to account for services for which the City charges external customers, or other units of the City. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as shown in the government-wide statements, only in more detail. The City maintains the following two types of proprietary funds. • Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the governmentwide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for the operations of the golf course, transit system, Hilton Garden Inn and Home2suites Hotels.
• Internal service funds are used to report activities that provide internal services for the City. The City uses an internal service fund to account for workers' compensation and general liability expenses, including insurance premiums. Because internal service funds predominantly benefit governmental rather than business-type functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
Fiduciary Funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City's own programs. The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found immediately following the basic proprietary fund financial statements and include the assets and liabilities of the Successor Agency Fiduciary Fund.
Notes to financial statements
The notes to financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements. The notes to the basic financial statements can be found immediately preceding the Required Supplementary Information.

7 Other information
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with other governmental funds and internal service funds are presented for all other Special Revenue Funds, all other Debt Service Funds, all other Capital Projects Funds, and all Internal Service Funds. These combining fund statements and schedules of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance - budget and actual for individual funds – can be found immediately following the notes to financial statements.
Note: The numbers shown on the MD&A are either expressed in multiples of one thousand or million dollars while percentages are rounded to the nearest tenth or whole number. Hence, there may be slight differences between numbers on the MD&A and the numbers on the Basic Financial Statements.
Financial Highlights
The following are entity-wide financial highlights, covering both Governmental and Business-type activities:
• On June 30, 2023, the City’s total net position was approximately $68.620 million dollars, an increase (improvement) of $37.808 million compared to the $30.812 million as of June 30, 2022. The City’s unrestricted net position, at a negative $165.253 million, increased by $22.757 million dollars over the prior fiscal year. • Total revenues from all sources were $203.545 million while total expenses were $165.735 million.

• The City’s General Fund revenue and other financing sources exceeded expenses by $13.754 million in the Fiscal Year 2022-23. The General Fund fund balance totaled $28.470 million, reflecting the net change of $13.754 million (including other financing sources and uses). • The fund balance of the General Fund was large enough to allow for partial implementation of the City Council approved reserve policies, funding the 25% Economic Uncertainties Commitment ($18.020 million), Unfunded Liabilities Commitment ($3.605 million), and Capital Improvement Assignment ($3.605 million). • General Fund total revenues, including transfers in and proceeds from the sale of assets as June 30, 2023, was $93.958 million. Excluding other financing sources and uses, General Fund revenue was $72.081 million. The City received funds from the sale of its water system, as well as a remnant property in the City of Pico Rivera.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
8 These Financial Highlights, as well as other points, are discussed in greater detail in the body of this discussion and analysis, as well as the Notes to the Financial Statements. The following pages provide greater, in-depth detail on Government-wide financials, as well as Governmental and Business-type activities.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
The government-wide financial statements provide both long-term and short-term information about the City's overall financial position. This analysis addresses the financial statements of the City as a whole. The statement of net position includes all of the City’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources. The City’s net position is a useful measurement of its financial health. Net position can be tracked over time to assess whether the City’s financial health is improving or deteriorating. However, readers will need to consider other nonfinancial factors, such as changes in the City’s property tax base, the condition of the City’s infrastructure, and the level of public safety services to assess the overall health of the City.
The table below is the “Statement of Net Position,” and provides net position information broken out by Governmental and Business-type activities, with totals and a comparison to amounts as of June 30, 2023:

The City uses capital assets to provide services to residents and the community at large; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. Any remaining amount is restricted to spending agreements originated by law, contract, or other agreements with external parties.

14 • The Transit System reported operating revenues of $33.491 million, a $4.952 million increase (17.35%) when compared to FY 2021-22. There were increases in Federal and State transit assistance and Local Return Funds (Metro) funding. Operating expenses in FY 2022-23 were $38.32 million, a $9.112 million increase from the prior fiscal year. The majority of this increase (90.29%, $9.796 million) was in Salaries and Benefits, the result of vacancies being filled and transit operations returning to pre-pandemic levels. Net position increased by $22.348 million.
• The Hilton Garden Inn reflected operating net income of $883 thousand, and improvement of $343 thousand from FY 2021-22. The net income (surplus) is attributable to the recovering economy and the return of leisure and business travelers, leading to a direct increase in total occupancy. Operating revenues increased $1.213 million, and operating expenses increased by $871 thousand. Total change in net position was a positive $711 thousand, contribution to ending net position of $627 thousand as of June 30, 2023. • The Montebello Home2Suites reflected operating net income of $4.154 million, an slight decrease from FY 2021-22 of $442 thousand. Operating revenue was $13.039 million, an increase of $989 thousand vs. the prior fiscal year. As the economy recovers from the pandemic, a return to leisure and business travel has positively impacted the hotel’s operations. Total net position increased by $2.274 million, resulting in an ending net position of $549 thousand as of June 30, 2023. • The City’s Water Fund was sold to the San Gabriel Valley Water Company (SGVWC) in February, 2023.
The sale resulted in $16.293 million in revenue, which was transferred to the General Fund as of June 30, 2023. The remaining fund balance in the Water Fund was also transferred to the General Fund. As of June 30, 2023 the Water Fund has been closed out and will no longer be reflected on future financial statements.
Governmental Funds Financial Analysis (Reporting the City’s most Significant Funds) Governmental Funds. The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information may be useful in assessing the City's financing requirements, in particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of June 30, 2023, the City's governmental funds (i.e., major funds such as the General Fund, Retirement Fund, Local Return Funds, etc.) reported total combined ending fund balances of $133.689 million, an increase of $58.995 million as compared with the prior fiscal year. All governmental fund balances are either non-spendable, restricted, committed, assigned, or unassigned pursuant to GASB 54.
Non-spendable indicates they are fund balances tied to inventories, prepaid expenses and property held for sale. The restricted fund balance category includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes stipulated by constitution, external resource providers, or through enabling legislation. These restrictions of fund balance are to indicate that portions of fund balance are not available for new spending, because they have already been committed to 1) finance Special Revenue Fund expenditures, 2) pay debt service, or 3) finance ongoing capital projects.
City of Montebello
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
15 Amounts in the committed fund balance are constrained for specific purposes that are internally imposed by the government through formal written action of the City Council. Amounts in the assigned fund balance classification are intended to be used by the government for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed. The City has designated committed or assigned fund balances as of June 30, 2023 per the City Council approved General Fund reserve policies (see next paragraph for further explanation). Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the government’s general fund and includes all spendable amounts not contained in the other classifications.
It should be noted that updated comprehensive reserve policies were originally adopted by the City Council in June 2020 and have been presented for formal adoption as part of the budget process every fiscal year since. These reserve policies created commitments and assignments in line with GASB 54, detailing specific uses for the commitments or assignments such as “Economic Uncertainty” or “Capital Projects.” These new policies, and the assignment of portions of the General Fund’s fund balance, have been partially implemented for the first time as of June 30, 2023. Commitments for Economic Uncertainties ($18.020 million) and Unfunded Liabilities ($3.604 million) have been made, as well as the Capital Improvement Assignment ($3.604 million). Should future fund balances grow, additional designations per the reserve policies will be made.
General Fund is the City's main operating fund. It is used to account for revenues and expenditures necessary to perform basic government functions that are not accounted for through other special revenue and grant funds. These are the typical services residents see daily: police and fire service, street maintenance, community services programming, code enforcement, park maintenance, etc.
The table below presents a comparison of General Fund revenues, expenditures, and fund balance. The General Fund saw an increase in fund balance of $13.753 million. Fund Balance is now 39.50% of Operating Revenues. 2023 2022 Amount %

The key factors positively impacting fund balance of the General Fund for FY 2022-23 are as follows:
• General Fund operating revenues (i.e., taxes, charges for services, licenses and permits, etc.) increased by $5.134 million (7.67%) from the prior year which is primarily due to the overall increase in sales tax ($973 thousand), property tax ($1.130 million), Investment Income ($1.084 million) and Charges for Services ($1.262 million).
City of Montebello
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
16 • The increase in sales tax is due to two primary reasons: the recovering economy as pandemic related restrictions ease and consumers remain active in the retail economy; and the continued local improvement of the recently enacted (March 2020) Measure H Transaction and Use Tax revenue stream. • The increase to Property Tax reflects continued improvement in overall assessed value in the City, as well as additions to total assessed value with completed residential construction in Metro Heights and other smaller developments within the City.
• General Fund expenditures increased year-over-year by $13.139 million. The largest increases in operating expenses were Public Works ($4.315 million), General Government ($2.759 million) and Public Safety ($2.752 million). Capital expenses increased $5.228 million year-over-year.

At the end of Fiscal Year 2022-23, the City had total debt outstanding of $382.621 million, an increase of $60.466 million compared to the prior year. This increase is from the addition of two new bond issuances: Lease Revenue Bond Series 2022A – Golf Course (Business Activities) and Lease Revenue Bond Series 2022B – Topgolf (Business Activities).
The Series 2022A bonds are being used to re-construct the City-owned golf course, turning the18 hole course into a re-imagined 9 hole course with a 6 hole short course. This brand new course will open in Spring, 2024. The Series 2022B bonds have been used to construct a Topgolf entertainment complex. The sublease agreement between the City and Topgolf requires annual debt service (i.e., improvement rent) to be paid by Topgolf. This transformative entertainment complex will boost economic growth and development in Montebello.
The outstanding debt includes $168.128 million of revenue bonds and $137.720 of pension obligation bonds. Claims payable of $31.418 million is a $3.973 million increase over the prior year. Compensated absences also increased, by $1.245 million, for a total of $8.112 million.

Credit Rating
As of the date of this ACFR, the City S&P issuer credit rating (ICR) is “A+”, with the underlying credit rating on the City’s outstanding lease revenue bonds is “A”, with a “stable” outlook. These latest ratings were reaffirmed when the City issued $15.140 million in Lease Revenue Bonds, Series 2022A – Golf Course in September, 2022, which have been utilized to refurbish and reconstruct the City’s public golf course (see paragraph above for additional details on this bond issuance). The outlook for all ratings is “stable.” It should be noted that the “A+” ICR reflects S&P’s view of the City’s general creditworthiness.
City of Montebello
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
19 Organizational and Economic Overview
The financial statements and commentary found in the prior three ACFR’s has been dominated by the impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic. For the results as of June 30, 2023, these impacts have all but disappeared and there appears to be a return to “pre-pandemic” economic and financial activity. Overall, the local Montebello economy appears to be healthy, as evidence by continued strong sales and transaction and use tax performance. Also, the City’s two hotels are performing well, seeing occupancy rates at or near levels last seen pre-pandemic (i.e., 2019).
For most of FY 2022-23, the discussion surrounding the economy focused on inflation, and the various causes of the generationally high inflation rate and methods used by the Federal Reserve to temper its impacts on the economy.
Hand-in-hand with the inflation discussion have been discussions of whether the Federal Reserve can pull off a “softlanding” and prevent the U.S. economy from sliding into a recession. As of the publication of this ACFR, it appears the Federal Reserve’s reduction in the Federal Funds Rate, coupled with falling inflation and steady job growth have combined to – at least for now – avert an economic downturn.
For this and other reasons, it is imperative that Montebello’s economic development activities promote projects that expand the City’s sales tax and property tax base. Looking ahead, there is much to be excited about in Montebello in these arenas, with several projects begun prior to FY 2022-23 that will contribute to the City’s long-term economic health and viability once completed in the near future.
The issuance of $15.140 million in lease revenue bonds in September, 2022 (LRB Series 2022A) has ushered in a new era for the City’s public golf course These proceeds will be used to completely reconstruct the existing golf course, creating a championship 9-hole course, a 6-hole “executive” course, and adding lights for the ability to play golf during evening hours. This project will help the Golf Course reduce – even eliminate – the subsidy required from the General Fund. The renovated golf course is slated to open in May, 2024.
Connected to the Golf Course Renovation Project is the construction of a Topgolf facility on 15 acres of the existing golf course property. This project is funded with the $55.4 million in lease revenue bonds issued in December, 2022 (LRB Series 2022B). In a unique financing arrangement, the Public Financing Authority issued the bonds, with a sublease and guaranty tied to the issuance that requires Topgolf to pay the annual debt service (i.e., improvement rent).
The completed Topgolf facility will be a three-story entertainment and event center, featuring 102 hitting bays, a restaurant, meeting space and a pro shop. In addition to the commitment to pay annual debt service, Topgolf will pay an annual lease for the use of City property ($1.150 million for the first five years, with increases every five years after). In addition, the facility will generate sales tax revenue, which will help boost overall General Fund revenue.
Topgolf Montebello is scheduled to open in May, 2024.
In addition to these exciting capital projects and economic development initiatives, the City finally received approval from the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to sell its water system. The PUC decision was finalized in December 2022, and escrow closed in February 2023. The sale of the water system to San Gabriel Valley Water Company (SGVWC) concludes a long saga of the City attempting to sell its water system. The State Auditor, in its December 2018 report, recommended the City pursue the sale, and the October 2021 follow up report noted this recommendation and continued to support the sale. The City received $15.857 million in proceeds from the sale, which can be seen as non-operating revenue recorded in the General Fund in FY 2022-23. In addition, the City will receive annual water rights lease payments as condition of the sale of the water system. These water rights added $173,925 to General Fund revenues in FY 2022-23.
As noted in the preceding pages, the General Fund’s fund balance increased by $13.753 million, to $28.469 million as of June 30, 2023. The proceeds from the sale of the water system contributed to the increase in reserves, allowing the City to begin following its adopted GASB 54 compliant reserve policies. The fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 saw partial implementation of the reserve policies for the first time since their approval by City Council in June 2020. Two Commitments – Economic Uncertainties and Unfunded Liabilities – and one Assignment – Capital Projects – were reserved in fund balance. Details can be found in Note 13.
City of Montebello
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
20 In FY 2022-23, the City continued critical work related to upgrading its information technology and cybersecurity infrastructure. This project has been funded using a portion of the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) revenue the City received between May 2021 and 2022. The total $16.59 million in CSLFRF revenue received by Montebello has been categorized as “revenue loss,” as permitted by U.S. Treasury Interim Final and Final Rules. This much needed funding has allowed the City to fast-track the technology upgrade, improving security, storage and productivity hardware and software. The project will continue in subsequent fiscal years, with completion anticipated sometime in FY 2023-24.
These are just a few highlights of the many projects underway in Montebello that are aimed at improving residents’ lives and helping to put the City on a long-term path to financial stability and sustainability. Some other projects that either began or were continued into FY 2022-23 are the following:
Utilization of $15.140 million in bonds to fully renovate and rejuvenate the City’s public golf course Utilizing bond proceeds to construct a Topgolf on 15 acres of the City’s public golf course Completion of a portion of the “Paving the Way” projects that improved residential street and road conditions Major repairs to the City’s aging sewer system, utilizing a portion of the City’s CSLFRF funding allocation Expansion of the Montebello Community Assistance Program (MCAP) aimed at helping the City’s unhoused population
Significant progress on the City’s General Plan update, the first in over forty years, with anticipated City Council adoption by April, 2024
Completion of a park and facilities needs assessment study and master plan Completion of significant facility repair and upgrade projects, eliminating years of deferred maintenance on key City facilities
Introduction of improved purchasing and procurement guidelines Receiving the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) award for budget preparation for the third time in the history of the City
Approval to finance installation of solar panels at City facilities Management and the City Council continue to be dedicated to improving Montebello’s long-term financial sustainability. Pursuing projects that are externally and internally focused – capital and infrastructure projects as well as organizational improvements – will strengthen Montebello’s abilities to weather changes in the economy as well as the “next pandemic,” in whatever form that may appear.

ITEM # 25
CITY OF MONTEBELLO
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager
BY: Michael Solorza, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: TREASURER'S REPORT FOR THE QUARTER ENDING JUNE 30, 2024 DATE: August 14, 2024
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Receive and file the Quarterly Treasurer’s Report for the quarter ending June 30, 2024 (Fourth Quarter of Fiscal Year 2023-24); and,
2. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Attached is a cash report and portfolio summary as of June 30, 2024 (Attachments A and B). This report provides a snapshot at quarter end of the City’s cash position, detailing balances in various accounts and types of investments.
The table below summarizes available cash by major type of account, comparing ending balances for June 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. The “General” account combines Bank of the West, Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), and various Certificates of Deposit, and represents the most liquid and accessible source of cash for the City to pay ongoing expenses:
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 14, 2024
As of June 30, 2024, total available cash was $105.912 million -- $18.518 million less than June 2023. The City’s overall cash position has improved over the years. For example, the June balance for the past nine years is shown below:
Comparing June ending balances from prior years, in 2016 overall cash was $48.156 million, versus $105.912 million as of June, 2024 – a $57.756 million improvement in the City’s available cash position (LAIF, Bank of the West, etc.), or put another way a 220% increase.
The continuing strength of the City’s cash position is due to a number of reasons. A primary factor is proceeds from Measure H, the City’s ¾ cent transaction and use tax – which began flowing to the City in Fiscal Year 2020-21. Property tax receipts are also up, as overall assessed values in the City continue to grow. The City has also received new or one-time funding from the Federal government for Transit operations (Montebello Bus Lines) and has applied for and received new grants for various purposes. In addition, the sale of the City’s water system (February, 2023) and Transit property in Pico Rivera (February, 2023) added to the overall cash position during calendar year 2023.
It should also be noted that monthly cash balances fluctuate, as monthly expenses can vary considerably from month to month, especially when comparing prior years. The chart below shows fourth quarter 2023 vs. fourth quarter 2024 (April - June). The monthly variances within each quarter can be significant:
The City receives numerous grants from Federal, State and local governmental agencies, with expenses and concomitant revenue reimbursement varying depending on the grant award and the particular progress made in the project. In addition, the City’s various debt service payments typically hit the books in November/December and May/June, causing a draw on available cash greater than other “typical” months of the fiscal year.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 14, 2024
Despite these natural fluctuations in cash flow, one can see by the tables above that the City’s overall cash position has grown steadily over the past several years and remains at an elevated level that provides additional financial security. This improvement in cash flow ensures daily expenses are easily met, with no danger of having to postpone payments due to lack of liquidity. Sufficient liquidity is just one of many positive signs of the City’s progress towards financial stability and security.
The City receives income from the investment of idle cash. This revenue varies based on balances and current interest rate environments. The General Fund has averaged $159,174 in annual investment income between FY 2015-16 and FY 2023-24. The historically low interest rates of the past decade have limited the amount of revenue received from idle cash investments. However, interest rates have risen markedly in the past twenty-four months, as the Federal Reserve continues to raise the federal funds rate in an effort to combat high inflation and stave off a recession. Combined with the large increase in total available cash, the General Fund realized $665,162 in revenue from its investments in FY 2022-23, with projected revenue for FY 2023-24 at $810,000.
The effective rate of return on the City’s investment portfolio as of June 30, 2024 was
1.54%. It is useful to compare these rates of return to various U.S. Treasuries, as a general benchmark. The chart below shows a comparison between Treasury yields – based on length of the note:
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
State Government Code Section 53600 et al governs the investment of idle cash by local agencies. In addition, local agencies are required to have City Council approved investment policies which further dictate how funds are invested. Government Code Section 53646(b), as well as the City’s investment policy, provide for quarterly reporting
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 14, 2024
of investment activity. The quarterly report, along with details found in Attachments A and B, are designed to provide additional information, comparing current year balances and performance to prior years, etc.
The City of Montebello holds idle cash in various depositories:
• Bank of the West checking accounts (i.e., General used to pay bills, Payroll for biweekly payroll, etc.) • Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF)
• Multi-Bank Securities (MBS) (i.e., Certificates of Deposit) The investment of idle cash is predicated on the principals of: liquidity, safety and yield, in that order. The City earns interest from the various deposits, hence the diversification of where cash is held. However, the first and foremost priority is having adequate liquidity to pay daily operating costs: payroll, invoices for goods and services, etc.
Cash flow varies throughout the fiscal year, based on timing of the receipt of revenue.
The receipt of property tax revenue in April and December causes the largest inflow in daily cash, followed by quarterly sales tax “true up” payments (i.e., March, June, etc.), receipt of Successor Agency revenue (Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund) in January and June, etc.
Therefore, the City maintains a reasonable balance in its checking account – the most liquid account utilized for daily expenses. The LAIF account with the State Treasurer provides additional liquidity. Depending on cash flow needs, withdrawals or deposits are made from/to the LAIF account into/out of the General checking account. Finally, investment in Certificates of Deposit through a clearinghouse service (i.e., Multi-Bank Securities) provides additional yield with funds not needed for immediate liquidity deposited accordingly (approximately $991,000).
The table below provides an overview of the City’s major liquid cash accounts: Bank of the West checking and the two separate LAIF accounts, from June, 2020 through June 2024. The average quarterly balance for the City’s checking account since June 2020 is $14.786 million, more than sufficient to meet weekly expenses.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 14, 2024
The City’s Investment Policy was most recently reviewed and approved by the City Council on June 12, 2024. Prior to that, the policy was reviewed, approved and updated on: June 14, 2023, June 8, 2022, June 23, 2021, October 28, 2020, and August 19, 2019. The Government Code requires an annual review and approval of the investment policy statement – even if no changes are made.
The 2019 approval was the first time the City’s investment policy was updated since 2011, with a previous update done in 2007. These infrequent reviews and updates were clearly in violation of Government Code. Moreover, Staff has endeavored to present a more thoroughly researched quarterly Treasurer’s report, with detailed background and explanations of the various investment accounts – a marked improvement over prior years reports presented with no discussion or analysis.
In an effort to ensure the City complies with State law, the investment policy will continue to be presented annually along with budget adoption (June of each year). This process will ensure an annual review and update (as necessary) of the investment policy by the City Council, ensuring the City complies with State statutes.
The updated version of the City’s investment policy was submitted to the California Municipal Treasurers Association (CMTA) for consideration of their investment policy review and award program. The CMTA investment policy program utilizes public treasury officials to review public agency policies to ensure they comply with best practices and
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 14, 2024
Government Code. For the first time in the City’s 100 plus year history, the City’s policy was submitted and passed the review with flying colors. Having passed this review process is one more indication of the progress made in achieving fiscal sustainability in Montebello, as its policies adhere to best practices.

For the first matter a briefing was provided to the City Council, no action was taken, and nothing further to report. The second matter was a complaint by an employee against Councilmember Jimenez; Councilmember Jimenez was requested to recuse herself, and she chose not to leave the room. The findings are as follows: The credible evidence produced during this investigation is sufficient to support the allegations that Councilmember Jimenez engaged in unnecessary and inappropriate conduct toward the employee on March 6, 2024, by showing up at his office without notice or appointment, aggressively confronting him and demanding that he discuss confidential personnel information that she was not authorized, and by not peacefully allowing the employee back into his office, as requested several times, so he could retrieve his personal belongings and leave to a scheduled appointment.
These findings were sustained. Also further, the City Council has directed the City Attorney's office and Special Counsel to release the findings in the Final Investigative Report and Executive Summary with no further action and nothing further to report.
