IOAI will then have up to six (6) months to review the CONSULTANT’s and/or the independent CPA’s revisions.
3. If the CONSULTANT fails to comply with the provisions of this paragraph E, or if IOAI is still unable to issue a cognizant approval letter after the revised independent CPA audited ICR is submitted, overhead cost reimbursement will be limited to the accepted ICR that was established upon initial rejection of the ICR and set forth in paragraph E.1. above for all rendered services. In this event, this accepted ICR will become the actual and final ICR for reimbursement purposes under this AGREEMENT.
4. CONSULTANT may submit to LOCAL AGENCY final invoice only when all of the following items have occurred: (1) IOAI accepts or adjusts the original or revised independent CPA audited ICR; (2) all work under this AGREEMENT has been completed to the satisfaction of LOCAL AGENCY; and, (3) IOAI has issued its final ICR review letter. The CONSULTANT MUST SUBMIT ITS FINAL INVOICE TO LOCAL AGENCY no later than sixty (60) calendar days after occurrence of the last of these items.

Disclosures must indicate the party to whom the exceptions apply, the initiating agency, and the dates of agency action.
C. Exceptions to the Federal Government excluded parties (https://sam.gov/content/home) maintained by the U.S. General Services Administration are to be determined by FHWA.
ARTICLE XVIII DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES (DBE) PARTICIPATION A. CONSULTANT, subrecipient (LOCAL AGENCY), or subconsultant shall take necessary and reasonable steps to ensure that DBEs have opportunities to participate in the contract (49 CFR 26).
To ensure equal participation of DBEs provided in 49 CFR 26.5, the LOCAL AGENCY shows a contract goal for DBEs. CONSULTANT shall make work available to DBEs and select work parts consistent with available DBE subconsultants and suppliers.
CONSULTANT shall meet the DBE goal shown elsewhere in these special provisions or demonstrate that they made adequate Good Faith Efforts (GFE) to meet this goal. It is CONSULTANT’s responsibility to verify at date of proposal opening that the DBE firm is certified as a DBE by using the California Unified Certification Program (CUCP) database and possesses the most specific available North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and work code applicable to the type of work the firm will perform on the contract. Additionally, the CONSULTANT is responsible to document the verification record by printing out the CUCP data for each DBE firm. A list of DBEs certified by the CUCP can be found at https://dot.ca.gov/programs/civil-rights/dbe-search.
All DBE participation will count toward the California Department of Transportation’s federally mandated statewide overall DBE goal. Credit for materials or supplies CONSULTANT purchases from DBEs counts towards the goal in the following manner:
• 100 percent counts if the materials or supplies are obtained from a DBE manufacturer. • 60 percent counts if the materials or supplies are purchased from a DBE regular dealer. • Only fees, commissions, and charges for assistance in the procurement and delivery of materials or supplies count if obtained from a DBE that is neither a manufacturer nor regular dealer. 49 CFR 26.55 defines "manufacturer" and "regular dealer." This AGREEMENT is subject to 49 CFR 26 entitled “Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs”. CONSULTANTs who enter into a federally-funded agreement will assist the LOCAL AGENCY in a good faith effort to achieve California's statewide overall DBE goal.
B. The goal for DBE participation for this AGREEMENT is %. Participation by DBE CONSULTANT or subconsultants shall be in accordance with information contained in Exhibit 10- O2: Consultant Contract DBE Commitment attached hereto and incorporated as part of the AGREEMENT. If a DBE subconsultant is unable to perform, CONSULTANT must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE subconsultant, if the goal is not otherwise met.
Local Assistance Procedures Manual Exhibit 10-R
A&E Boilerplate Agreement Language
May 2023
C. CONSULTANT can meet the DBE participation goal by either documenting commitments to DBEs to meet the AGREEMENT goal, or by documenting adequate good faith efforts to meet the AGREEMENT goal. An adequate good faith effort means that the CONSULTANT must show that it took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve a DBE goal that, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, could reasonably be expected to meet the DBE goal. If CONSULTANT has not met the DBE goal, complete and submit Exhibit 15-H: Proposer/Contractor Good Faith Efforts to document efforts to meet the goal. Refer to 49 CFR 26 for guidance regarding evaluation of good faith efforts to meet the DBE goal.
D. Contract Assurance
Under 49 CFR 26.13(b):
CONSULTANT, subrecipient or subconsultant shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. CONSULTANT shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR 26 in the award and administration of federal-aid contracts.
Failure by the CONSULTANT to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as the recipient deems appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to:

• Solicitations of DBEs for performance of work identified • Correspondence with interested DBEs that may have included contract details and requirements
• Negotiation efforts with DBEs that reflect why an agreement was not reached • If a DBE's quote was rejected, provide reasoning for the rejection, such as why the DBE was unqualified for the work, or why the price quote was unreasonable or excessive
• Copies of each DBE's and non-DBE's price quotes for work identified, as the LOCAL AGENCY may contact the firms to verify solicitation efforts and determine if the DBE quotes are substantially higher
• Additional documentation that supports CONSULTANT’s GFE
The LOCAL AGENCY shall respond in writing to CONSULTANT’s DBE replacement request within five (5) business days.
F. Commitment and Utilization

2. Provide this notification before starting the affected work
3. Maintain records including:
st
• Name and business address of each 1 -tier subconsultant • Name and business address of each DBE subconsultant, DBE vendor, and DBE trucking company, regardless of tier

CONSULTANT shall submit the notifications to the LOCAL AGENCY. On work completion, CONSULTANT shall complete Exhibit 17-O: Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) Certification Status Change and submit the form to the LOCAL AGENCY within 30 days of contract acceptance.
Upon work completion, CONSULTANT shall complete Exhibit 17-F: Final Report – Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), First-Tier Subcontractors and submit it to the LOCAL AGENCY within 90 days of contract acceptance. The LOCAL AGENCY will withhold $10,000 until the form is submitted. The LOCAL AGENCY will release the withhold upon submission of the completed form.
In the LOCAL AGENCY’s reports of DBE participation to Caltrans, the LOCAL AGENCY must display both commitments and attainments.
G. Commercially Useful Function
DBEs must perform a commercially useful function (CUF) under 49 CFR 26.55 when performing work or supplying materials listed on the DBE Commitment form. The DBE value of work will only count toward the DBE commitment if the DBE performs a CUF. A DBE performs a CUF when it is responsible for execution of the work of the AGREEMENT and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a CUF, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the AGREEMENT, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material and installing (where applicable), and paying for the material itself.
CONSULTANT must perform CUF evaluation for each DBE working on a federal-aid contract, with or without a DBE goal. Perform a CUF evaluation at the beginning of the DBE’s work and continue to monitor the performance of CUF for the duration of the project.
CONSULTANT must provide written notification to the LOCAL AGENCY at least 15 days in advance of each DBE's initial performance of work or supplying materials for the Contract. The notification must include the DBE's name, work the DBE will perform on the contract, and the location, date, and time of where their work will take place.
Within 10 days of a DBE initially performing work or supplying materials on the Contract, CONSULTANT shall submit to the LPA the initial evaluation and validation of DBE performance of a CUF using the LAPM 9-J: Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Commercially Useful Function Evaluation. Include the following information with the submittal:
• Subcontract agreement with the DBE
• Purchase orders
• Bills of lading
• Invoices
• Proof of payment
CONSULTANT must monitor all DBE’s performance of CUF by conducting quarterly evaluations and validations throughout their duration of work on the Contract using the LAPM 9-J: DBE Commercially Useful Function Evaluation. CONSULTANT must submit to the LOCAL AGENCY
Local Assistance Procedures Manual Exhibit 10-R
A&E Boilerplate Agreement Language
May 2023
these quarterly evaluations and validations by the 5th of the month for the previous three months of work.
CONSULTANT must notify the LOCAL AGENCY immediately if they believe the DBE may not be performing a CUF.
The LOCAL AGENCY will verify DBEs performance of CUF by reviewing the initial and quarterly submissions of LAPM 9-J: DBE Commercially Useful Function Evaluation, submitted supporting information, field observations, and through any additional LOCAL AGENCY evaluations. The LOCAL AGENCY must evaluate DBEs and their CUF performance throughout the duration of a Contract. The LOCAL AGENCY will provide written notice to the CONSULTANT and the DBE at least two (2) business days prior to any evaluation. The CONSULTANT and the DBE must participate in the evaluation. Upon completing the evaluation, the LOCAL AGENCY must share the evaluation results with the CONSULTANT and the DBE. An evaluation could include items that must be remedied upon receipt. If the LOCAL AGENCY determines the DBE is not performing a CUF, the CONSULTANT must suspend performance of the noncompliant work.
CONSULTANT and DBEs must submit any additional CUF related records and documents within five (5) business days of LOCAL AGENCY’s request such as:
• Proof of ownership or lease and rental agreements for equipment • Tax records
• Employee rosters
• Certified payroll records
• Inventory rosters
Failure to submit required DBE Commercially Useful Function Evaluation forms or requested records and documents can result in withholding of payment for the value of work completed by the DBE.
If CONSULTANT and/or the LOCAL AGENCY determine that a listed DBE is not performing a CUF in performance of their DBE committed work, CONSULTANT must immediately suspend performance of the noncompliant portion of the work. LOCAL AGENCY may deny payment for the noncompliant portion of the work. LOCAL AGENCY will ask the CONSULTANT to submit a corrective action plan (CAP) to the LOCAL AGENGY within five (5) days of the noncompliant CUF determination. The CAP must identify how the CONSULTANT will correct the noncompliance findings for the remaining portion of the DBE's work. LOCAL AGENCY has five (5) days to review the CAP in conjunction with the CONSULTANT’s review. The CONSULTANT must implement the CAP within five (5) days of the LOCAL AGENCY's approval. The LOCAL AGENCY will then authorize the prior noncompliant portion of work for the DBE's committed work.
If corrective actions cannot be accomplished to ensure the DBE performs a commercially useful function on the Contract, CONSULTANT may have good cause to request termination of the DBE.
H. A DBE does not perform a CUF if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, AGREEMENT, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, examine similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate.
I. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least thirty percent (30%) of the total cost of its AGREEMENT with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work
Local Assistance Procedures Manual Exhibit 10-R
A&E Boilerplate Agreement Language
May 2023
of the AGREEMENT than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, it will be presumed that it is not performing a CUF.
J. CONSULTANT shall maintain records of materials purchased or supplied from all subcontracts entered into with certified DBEs. The records shall show the name and business address of each DBE or vendor and the total dollar amount actually paid each DBE or vendor, regardless of tier.
The records shall show the date of payment and the total dollar figure paid to all firms. DBE CONSULTANT’s shall also show the date of work performed by their own forces along with the corresponding dollar value of the work.
K. If a DBE subconsultant is decertified during the life of the AGREEMENT, the decertified subconsultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of decertification. If a subconsultant becomes a certified DBE during the life of the AGREEMENT, the subconsultant shall notify CONSULTANT in writing with the date of certification. Any changes should be reported to LOCAL AGENCY’s Contract Administrator within thirty (30) calendar days.
L. For projects awarded on or after March 1, 2020, but before September 1, 2023: after submitting an invoice for reimbursement that includes a payment to a DBE, but no later than the 10th of the following month, the prime contractor/consultant must complete and email Exhibit 9-F:
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Running Tally of Payments to [email protected] with a copy to local administering agencies.
For projects awarded on or after September 1, 2023: Exhibit 9-F is no longer required. Instead, by the 15th of the month following the month of any payment(s), the CONSULTANT must now submit Exhibit 9-P to the LOCAL AGENCY administering the contract. If the CONSULTANT does not make any payments to subconsultants, supplier(s), and/or manufacturers they must report “no payments were made to subs this month” and write this visibly and legibly on Exhibit 9-P.
M. Any subcontract entered into as a result of this AGREEMENT shall contain all of the provisions of this section.

SUBJECT: APPROVE ISSUING REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) NO. 25-13
FOR CONSULTANT SERVICES FOR A CITYWIDE HISTORIC
PRESERVATION PROGRAM
DATE: May 28, 2025
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the issuance of Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 25-13 for Professional Consulting Services to prepare a Citywide Historic Context Statement and conduct a comprehensive Citywide Historic Resources Survey to assist the City in developing a Citywide Historic Preservation Program; and

If necessary, a budget amendment will be recommended at that time.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On April 10, 2024, the City Council adopted the City of Montebello General Plan. Included in the plan is a section dedicated to the historic preservation of the City’s cultural resources. The policies and actions outlined in this section are designed to help the City
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 28, 2025
build awareness and appreciation for its historic assets, with a gradual approach toward developing a more comprehensive program and ultimately adopting a Historic Preservation Ordinance.
Currently, the City does not have a formal Historic Preservation Ordinance or a Preservation Program. As a growing community with a rich history, it is essential to adopt policies that safeguard our heritage and guide future development in a way that honors the historical and cultural significance of our built environment.
The City is committed to maintaining its historical character while balancing the needs for sustainable growth and development. The mission of this project is to provide a comprehensive source of information on the types of resources that are significant to all aspects of the City’s history and to identify, preserve and conserve historic buildings, structures, objects, landscapes, sites and districts.
The proposed RFP seeks to identify a highly qualified consultant to prepare a Citywide Historic Context Statement and conduct a comprehensive Citywide Historic Resources Survey to assist the City in developing a new Historic Ordinance and Historic Preservation Program. This initiative aims to establish a framework that will protect and preserve the City’s historic resources, ensuring that future development is sensitive to the City’s cultural heritage.
If approved by the City Council, RFP No. 25-13 will be published to solicit proposals from qualified consultants to provide the services outlined within the RFP. Following is a tentative timeline for the RFP process:
ENVIRONMENTAL:
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the project is covered by the commonsense exemption.
CEQA applies only to projects that may cause a significant environmental effect.
Soliciting proposals for historic preservation services does not result in direct or indirect physical environment changes, therefore this item is exempt from CEQA under Section 15378.

4.0 Purpose
The purpose of this solicitation is to identify a qualified Consultant to assist the City with the knowledge and expertise in all aspects of the services requested in this RFP. The City is seeking proposals from qualified historic preservation consultants or firms to prepare a Citywide Historic Context Statement and conduct a comprehensive Citywide Historic Resources Survey to assist the City in developing a new Historic Ordinance and Historic Preservation Program. This initiative aims to establish a framework that will protect and preserve the City’s historic resources, ensuring that future development is sensitive to the City’s cultural heritage.
The City is committed to maintaining its historical character while balancing the need for sustainable growth and development. The mission of this project is to provide a comprehensive source of information on the types of resources significant to all aspects of the City’s history and to identify, preserve and conserve historic buildings, structures, objects, landscapes, sites and districts.
The project will also include the preparation and implementation of a public outreach plan designed to engage a wide range of the City's constituencies. Multiple outreach
7 venues will be utilized to ensure that all Montebello residents are informed about the project and encouraged to participate.
Currently, the City does not have a formal Historic Preservation Ordinance or a Preservation Program.

ITEM # 18
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: FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 CONFIRMATION OF ANNUAL TAX RATE FOR
VOTER APPROVED INDEBTEDNESS
DATE: May 28, 2025
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Review and adopt the attached resolution establishing property tax override rates on voter approved indebtedness for retirement expenditures for Fiscal Year 2025- 26; and,
2. Direct staff to forward the resolution to the Los Angeles County Auditor Controller within the required time limit; and,
3. Direct staff to take whatever additional actions necessary to ensure collection of the property tax override; and,
4. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Voters in the City of Montebello have twice approved a property tax override (PTO) rate to fund the City’s participation in the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS). This voter-approved property tax override revenue is utilized to fund annual debt service on the Series 2020 Pension Obligation Bonds (issued in June 2020 to retire the City’s unfunded actuarial liability) as well as pay for all ongoing and future pension- related costs.
The table below presents historical actuals and the FY 2025-26 proposed (forecasted) revenue in Fund 205 (Retirement Fund):
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 28, 2025
As the table above shows, the FY 2021-22 actuals were $14.667 million, FY 2022-23 actuals of $16.530 million, FY 2023-24 actulas of $17.176 million and an adopted budget of $16.798 million for FY 2024-25. The majority of that revenue is from property tax assessments – inclusive of former redevelopment agency project areas. For FY 2025- 26, the projected revenue for the Retirement Fund is $17.730 million. Using actuals from FY 2020-21 to FY 2023-24, the average year-over-year change in revenue has been
4.77%.
The attached resolution sets the property tax override rate and allows it to be assessed for FY 2025-26. In turn, the revenue collected will be utilized for the purposes for which it was established: paying all expenses related to the City’s contract with PERS to provide retirement benefits to its safety and miscellaneous employees, as well as annual debt service on the Series 2020 POBs.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Voters in the City of Montebello have twice approved a property tax override (PTO) rate to fund the City’s participation in the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS). Elections were first held on July 9, 1946, initially establishing the PTO. A second vote was held on March 2, 1976, affirming the property tax override rate. The City Council subsequently adopted Ordinance No. 2148 in 1996 which codified the tax rate at $0.197875 per $100 of assessed valuation (City of Montebello Municipal Code Section 3.28.020).
The revenue from the property tax override can only be used to pay for retirement system- related expenses. The City records receipt of these revenues – collected through the annual property tax assessment process – in a special fund (Fund 205). The revenues received are used to pay the annual unfunded actuarial liability (UAL) and normal cost (i.e., ongoing) expenses to PERS.
On May 13, 2020, the City Council approved issuing $154 million in Pension Obligation Bonds (POBs) to address Montebello’s pension-related unfunded actuarial liability (UAL). The issuance of the POBs extinguished the existing UAL, as of the June 30, 2018 actuarial valuation report. The PTO revenue is utilized to pay the annual debt service on the POBs, as well as all normal cost expenses and future UAL bases established by subsequent actuarial valuations.
The County of Los Angeles Auditor-Controller requires the City of Montebello submit an approved resolution each year that shows the setting of the rate. The attached resolution (Attachment A with Exhibit A) fulfills this requirement and allows the rate to be placed on property tax statements. There is no change to the rate, it remains fixed at the $0.197875
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 28, 2025
per $100 of assessed value.

N/A
ANALYSIS:
N/A
SUMMARY:
The retirement expenditures by the City are funded through voter-approved indebtedness authorized by elections held on July 9, 1946 and March 2, 1976. The proposed tax rate of $0.197875 was set by Montebello Municipal Code section 3.28.020, adopted by the City Council in 1996. There is no change to this tax rate for FY 2025-26, and it remains the same as previous years.
The resolution setting the override tax rates must be submitted to the Los Angeles County Auditor Controller’s office at the beginning of each fiscal year in order for the tax rate to be placed on the property tax rolls. Assessing the property tax override will allow the City to meet its obligations to bondholders, paying annual debt service on the $154 million in POBs issued in 2020.
The retirement expenditures will be paid solely from the Retirement Special Revenue Fund (Fund 205), as codified in Montebello Municipal Code section 3.28.020. No General Fund revenues will be used to pay for the retirement expenditures.

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 Michael Solorza, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: APPROVE SIXTH AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT NO. 2207 AND
REINSTATEMENT OF THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
(MOU) WITH PLAINS EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION COMPANY
DATE: May 28, 2025
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the Sixth Amendment to and Reinstatement of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Plains Exploration and Production (“PXP”) (Agreement No. 2207); and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the MOU between the City of Montebello and Plains Exploration and Production (“PXP”) and any related documents; and
3. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval of this amendment, the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will be reinstated and extended through December 31, 2028. According to the terms of the agreement, the City will receive quarterly oil production payments. The City’s General Fund has received an average of $755,000 annually in revenue per this agreement (Fiscal Years 2015-16 through 2023-24). For Fiscal Year 2024-25, it is projected this agreement will bring in $625,000 in revenue.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
PXP is an oil producer that owns and operates an oil production facility located at the property generally bounded by Montebello Boulevard and Plaza Drive within the City of
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 28, 2025
Montebello. Like all businesses that operate within the City, oil producers are subject to the City’s business license tax fees pursuant to MMC Section 5.08.010 (Business License Tax).
In 2004, staff analyzed the business license tax fees collected for oil production. This analysis concluded that the $0.2881 per barrel rate charged was well under the market rate charged by other cities in the County of Los Angeles. For this reason, staff proposed an increase to the rate charged.
Realizing the City’s position and as an act of good faith, PXP submitted a proposal offering quarterly oil production payments in exchange for waiving the business license tax fee required under MMC Section 5.08.010. The proposal included payments to the City calculated at two (2) percent of the gravity-adjusted monthly average crude oil price index posted by Chevron-Texaco for the Buena Vista Oilfield, multiplied by the number of net barrels of crude oil produced from the site, less any fees associated with the cost of production per barrel (e.g., transportation, cleaning, and dehydration). The proposed payment totaled approximately three times the per barrel rate that would have been scheduled for collection by imposing the above-referenced business license tax fee.
Based on this information, staff determined that it was in the City’s best interest to accept the terms of the proposal from PXP.
On February 9, 2005, the City Council approved a recommendation from staff to establish a MOU with PXP accepting the quarterly oil production payments and waiving the business license tax fees. The initial term of this MOU was five (5) years, and it was later extended using a series of amendments.
Staff and representatives from PXP recently reviewed the terms of the MOU and identified that it terminated effective December 31, 2023. While PXP is amicable to continuing the relationship with the City and issuing quarterly oil production payments, the lapse in term must be cured and the agreement must be amended for a proposed five (5) year term to ensure the City can legally accept payments and both parties can enforce the general terms of Agreement No. 2207. For this reason, it is recommended that City Council approve the attached Sixth Amendment to Agreement No. 2207 with PXP. Upon approval, both parties will mutually agree to reinstate the terms and conditions, and the agreement will be extended through December 31, 2028.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
The adoption of the proposed Resolution is not subject to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because CEQA Guidelines section 15060(c)(2) states that a project is not subject to CEQA review where the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment and is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) which states that a project is exempt from CEQA “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 Fifth Amendment to and Reinstatement of the MOU between the City and PXP will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment and there is no possibility that the Fifth Amendment to and Reinstatement of the MOU will have a
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 28, 2025
significant effect on the environment because the MOU will not result in any future changes to property.
ANALYSIS:
N/A
SUMMARY:
In February 2005, the City established a MOU with PXP addressing the rights and obligations regarding the waiver of business license tax fee in exchange for quarterly oil production payments at the Sentinel Peak site located within the City limits (Agreement No. 2207). This agreement terminated on December 31, 2023 (Fifth Amendment). By approving the attached sixth amendment, the City and PXP will reinstate and extend the term of this agreement through December 31, 2028. Approval of the sixth amendment will ensure the City continues to receive revenue annually, projected to be $625,000 for FY 2024-25.

RECITALS
WHEREAS, in 2005, the City and the Plains Exploration & Production Company ("PXP") entered into that certain Memorandum of Understanding dated February 9, 2005 ("Agreement 2207"), which addressed the rights and obligations of the parties regarding the City's waiver of the imposition and collection of City's business license tax on PXP in exchange for PXP's agreement to pay the Oil Production Payment on a quarterly basis; and

SECTION 3: The City Council further authorizes the City Manager to execute Sixth Amendment and any related documents reasonably necessary to effectuate the intent of this Resolution.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager
BY: Cesar Roldan, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 25-33 VACATING A PORTION OF BLUFF
ROAD AND RESERVING AN EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT OVER THE
VACATED PORTION FOR THE BENEFIT OF A WATER UTILITY
PURSUANT TO STREETS AND HIGHWAYS CODE SECTIONS 8320-
8325
DATE: May 28, 2025
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 25-33 vacating a portion of Bluff Road and reserving an exclusive easement over such portion for the benefit of San Gabriel Valley Water Company (SGVWC); and
2. Hold a Public Hearing at a future City Council meeting as required by Streets and Highways Code §§ 8320–8325, for the proposed vacation and easement reservation; and
3. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact, as the conveyance of the portion of Bluff Road at issue here was part of the purchase price paid by San Gabriel Valley Water Company (SGVWC) to the City related to the sale of the City’s water system and related assets in February, 2023.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On or about September 20, 2020, the City of Montebello as the “seller” and San Gabriel Valley Water Company (SGVWC) as the “purchaser” entered into that certain Purchase
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 28, 2025
and Sale Agreement (PSA) for the sale of the City’s potable water supply, treatment, storage, transmission, distribution system, and related real property (the “Water System”) for the purchase price of $15.8 million dollars. The PSA also included real property related to the south system well site, included a portion of Bluff Road—north of the intersection with Maynard Road and generally described as a right-of-way measuring approximately 8,087 square feet. (Attachment A, Exhibit “B”). The proposed portion of Bluff Road to be vacated is currently only used by SGVWC as an egress and ingress to a water facility located at the end of the road; and in fact, the facility is built within the public right of way (ROW).
From the outset of the Water System sale, it was the City’s intent to legally convey that portion of Bluff Road with the following location and legal description (in Bold, below):
A portion of Bluff Road as shown on Parcel Map No. 2362, according to the map recorded in Book 13, Pages 69 and 70 of Parcel Maps, in the City of Montebello, County of Los Angeles, State of California, on file in the office of the Recorder of said County, more particularly described as follows:
BEGINNING at the Northwest Corner of lot 22 per C.F. 988 Pages 1 through 4, inclusive, filed with superior court case no. B-81961 as exhibit “A”, recorded in the office of said County Recorder of Los Angeles County; thence coincident with the southerly right-of-way line of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway as shown on said Parcel Map South 67°45'55" East,
42.12 feet; thence departing said Southerly right-of-way line coincident with the easterly right- of-way line of Bluff Road as shown on said Parcel Map South 40°29'50" West, 138.37 feet; thence South 23°31’00” West, 64.59 feet; thence departing said easterly line North 66°29'00" West, 6.01 feet, to the beginning to a non-tangent curve, concave southwesterly, having a radius of 29.45 feet, a radial line through said beginning bears North 83°08’04” East; thence along said non-tangent curve through a central angle of 91°33’29” and an arc length of 47.06 feet to the beginning of a reverse curve having a radius of 42.17 feet, concave northeasterly, a radial line through which bears South 8°25’25” East; thence along said reverse curve through a central angle of 22°43’24” and an arc length of 16.72 feet; thence North 71°05’35” West, 5.58 feet; thence North 90°00’00” West, 1.98 feet to the westerly right-of-way line of Bluff Road as shown on said Parcel Map; thence coincident with said westerly right-of-way line of Bluff Road the following 3 courses:
1. North 67°52’23” East, 42.90’
2. North 23°31’00” East, 35.45’
3. North 40°29’50” East 131.15’ to the POINT OF BEGINNING.
CONTAINING: 8087 square feet more or less.
Now, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the PSA and with the authority granted to the City under Sections 8320–8325 of the California Streets and Highways Code, the City desires to convey a portion of Bluff Road described above, and pursuant to Section 8340 of the Streets and Highways Code reserve onto SGVWC the vacated portion.
Pursuant to the California Subdivision Map Act, vacation of the right-of-way reverts to the
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 28, 2025
adjacent property owner(s). In other words, upon recordation of the vacation, the City would relinquish its rights to use the property as a roadway. To ensure that San Gabriel Valley Water Company maintains full and exclusive of its rights, benefits, and access as the legal owner of the Water System and related assets — including that portion of Bluff Road described above -- it is necessary that concurrently with this vacation process, the City reserve unto San Gabriel Valley Water Company, an exclusive easement over the vacated portion for the benefit of the public utility. If the City Council adopts the Resolution, it will be filed for recording with the Los Angeles County Recorder as evidence of action and SGVWC’s rights to the area.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
Based upon the existing uses of the subject real property, the proposed vacation of the portion of Bluff Road described herein will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and is not, therefore, subject to CEQA pursuant to Section 15060 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATIONS:
Pursuant to Sections 8320-8325 of the California Code of Streets and Highways, the following noticing was performed:
• Beginning on May 29, 2025, the Public Hearing Notice will be published in the Daily Journal (Whittier Daily News) for two successive weeks (Notice needs to be published at least 15 days prior to meeting and posted per Streets and Highways Code 8323); and
• Beginning on May 29, 2025, three (3) Public Hearing Notices will be posted conspicuously along the line of the street proposed to be vacated and easement proposed to be reserved, not more than 300 feet part (Streets and Highways Code section 8323).
ANALYSIS:
N/A
SUMMARY:
Staff recommend the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-33 to vacate a portion of Bluff Road and reserve an exclusive easement over the vacated portion for the benefit of a water utility pursuant to SHC §§ 8320 – 8325; and hold a Public Hearing at a future City Council meeting of the proposed vacation and easement reservation.

WHEREAS, on or about September 29, 2020, the City of Montebello (the “City”) as the “Seller” entered into that certain Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Water Assets (the “Agreement”) with San Gabriel Valley Water Company, a California Public Utility Water Company, as the “Purchaser” for the conveyance of the City’s potable water supply, treatment, storage, transmission, distribution system, and related real property assets (the “Water System”); and
WHEREAS, the Water System includes certain facilities and infrastructure that were constructed in the public right of way on a portion of what is known as Bluff Road in the City of Montebello, as such portion of Bluff Road is more specifically described in Exhibit “A” (Legal Description) to this Resolution and incorporated by reference (the “Bluff Road Segment”); and
WHEREAS, in to complete transfer of the Water System to SGVWC, it is necessary and appropriate for the City to vacate the Bluff Road Segment as public street or right of way in the manner permitted by Sections 8320 through 8325 of the Streets and Highways Code (“SHC”), and reserve and except from the vacation or otherwise grant to SGVWC an exclusive easement in the Bluff Road Segment for all purposes necessary and convenient to operation of the Water System pursuant to Section 8340 of the Streets and Highways Code; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has conducted a duly notice hearing that was published and held in the manner required by Sections 8320 through 8324 of the SHC, and has heard and duly considered all evidence submitted at the public hearing; and WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have been duly performed.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTEBELLO HEREBY RESOLVES, FINDS, AND DECLARES AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: Based upon the staff reports, agenda materials, written and verbal comments and other evidence presented during the public hearing for this matter, the City Council finds and declares the foregoing recitals to be true and correct, and incorporates said recitals as a substantive part of this Resolution.
RESOLUTION NO. 25-33
SECTION 2: The City Council hereby finds and declares that the Bluff Road Segment described in Exhibit “A” is unnecessary for the present or prospective public use as a public street, and that the public easement in the Bluff Road Segment is hereby vacated subject to the reservations for public utility purposes described in Section 3 of this Resolution.
SECTION 3:The City Council hereby reserves from the vacation and grants to San Gabriel Valley Water Company an exclusive easement in the Bluff Road Segment for all purposes necessary and convenient to operation of the Water System as a public utility, consistent with the rights and benefits afforded to it as a public water utility under the authority granted to it by state of California.
SECTION 4: The City Council finds and declares that this Resolution is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act by the “common sense” exemption in CEQA Guidelines 15061(b)(3), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment because it is purely transactional in nature and will not result in any physical change to the subject area, and as a result the activity is not subject to CEQA.
SECTION 5: The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution and that the same shall be in full force and effect. Pursuant to Section 8325 of the SHC, the City Clerk shall cause a certified copy of this Resolution, attested under seal, to be recorded in the office of the recorder of Los Angeles County.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager
BY: Cesar Roldan, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 25-37 GRANTING AN EASEMENT ON CITY- OWNED LAND, 1600 W. BEVERLY BOULEVARD, TO SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA EDISON (SCE) COMPANY FOR ELECTRICAL UTILITY
PURPOSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE INSTALLATION OF CHARGING
STATIONS
DATE: May 28, 2025
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 25-37 (Attachment A) granting an easement on City-owned land, 1600 W. Beverly Boulevard, to Southern California Edison (SCE) Company for electrical utility purposes associated with the installation of charging stations; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to sign the Grant of the easement to Southern California Edison Company on behalf of the City; and
3. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the City for the granting of the Southern California Edison (SCE) easement. On September 27, 2023, City Council approved a participation agreement between the City of Montebello and Southern California Edison (SCE) for the installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure under the "Charge Ready Program." To continue the process of installation of electric vehicle charging stations at City Hall, the City will be participating in the Los Angeles County "Public Power Up" Program to acquire EV charging stations. The EV charging stations will be constructed at City Hall and consist of 34 total EV ports.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 28, 2025
SCE is covering the cost of the infrastructure for the construction of the EV chargers and Los Angeles County's "Public Power Up" Program will be covering the cost of purchasing and installing the EV charging stations. Between these two programs, all the necessary funding to construct EV charging stations at City Hall is covered.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The State of California has partnered with SCE in establishing a "Charge Ready Program" to meet the State’s needs for electric charging infrastructure. The program launched on July 12, 2021, offering multiple programs and incentive options for existing commercial, multifamily, and public buildings to install EV charging ports across the state.
The program covers "make-ready infrastructure" up to charging station stub-outs for EV charging stations. On September 27, 2023, City Council approved an agreement with SCE for the installation of EV charging station infrastructure at City Hall.
Project completion date is December 31, 2025. Starting in January of 2026, the County and its non-profit organization (Energy Coalition) will commence to extrapolate data on the usage of the EV charging stations in order to report to the State. Attached is the SCE Easement document (Attachment B) and the plat map (Attachment C).
ENVIRONMENTAL:
In accordance with the California Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines, Section 15061(b)(3), granting Southern California Edison (SCE) Easement for the distribution of electrical energy is exempt from CEQA in that it can be seen with certainty that granting of a utility easement will not have a significant effect on the environment. (Attachment D).
ANALYSIS:
N/A
SUMMARY:

Beverly Boulevard to Southern California Edison Company to install electrical vehicle charging stations; and authorize the City Manager to execute the Grant of Easement on behalf of the City.

Grantor agrees for itself, its heirs and assigns, not to erect, place or maintain, nor to permit the erection, placement or maintenance of any building, planter boxes, earth fill or other structures except walls and fences on the hereinbefore descri bed easement area. The Grantee, and its contractors, agents and employees, shall have the right to trim or top such trees and to cut such roots as may endanger or interfere with said systems and shall have free access to said systems and every part thereof, at al l times, for the purpose of exercising the rights herein granted; provided, however, that in making any excavation on said property of the Grantor, the Grantee shall make the same in such a manner as will cause the least injury to the surface of the ground around such excavation, and shall replace the earth so removed by it and restore the surface of the ground to as near the same condition as it was prior to such excavation as is practicable.
Upon written request, Grantee shall relocate its facilities installed hereunder to another mutually approved area on Grantor’s property and provided that Grantee has first been given an easement over such new area on terms identical to those set forth herein. Such relocation shall be at Grantor’s sole cost and expense.

CITY OF MONTEBELLO
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager
BY: Cesar Roldan, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: ADOPT PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF SENIOR CENTER BASEMENT REMODEL AT 115 S. TAYLOR AVENUE
(CP 925) AND AUTHORIZE BID ADVERTISEMENT
DATE: May 28, 2025
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve Environmental Assessment pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations § 15301 as a Class 1 categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and
2. Approve Level of Environmental Review Determination via the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA): Categorically Excluded per 24 CFR 58.35(a), and subject to laws and authorities at §58.5: (3) Rehabilitation of buildings and improvements; and
3. Adopt the completed plans and specifications for the Senior Center Basement Remodel at 115 S. Taylor Avenue Capital Project No. 925; and
4. Authorize staff to proceed with solicitation of bids for construction; and
5. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this action will allow staff to proceed with the bidding of this capital project (CP 925). Funding has been appropriated in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Capital Impovement Program Project Budget. This project will continue into FY 2025-26 and funding will be included in next year's CIP budget. As soon as staff evaluate all bids, a recommendation for contract award and approval will be made at a future City Council meeting and include a well-defined project budget. Should adjustments to the project budget be needed, they will be presented at the time of contract presentation and award.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 28, 2025
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
In November 2016, Measure A (The Safe, Clean Neighborhood Parks, Open Space, Beaches, River Protection, and Water Conservation Measure) was approved by voters in Los Angeles County, and replaced the expiring Proposition A to ensure parks, open spaces, beaches, and waterways are built and protected for future generations. Measure A is distributed into seven funding categories, one of them being the Annual Allocations program. Annual allocations are distributed using set formulas and are distributed to local municipalities on an annual basis. Municipalities must submit an application to apply for proposed funding and have the option to allow funds to accrue. The City will be utilizing Measure A Annual Allocation funding to partially fund the Senior Center Basement Remodel Project. The Transit Department will provide funding for the remaining portion of the project expenses.
The Senior Center Renovation Project is located at 115 South Taylor Avenue, and it aims to rehabilitate the functional space of the downstairs area of the Montebello Senior Center located at City Park to provide greater opportunities for the community. Renovation will allow the City to better serve those who utilize the Senior Center by creating a multi- functional space. The City currently hosts a variety of recreational programs, including art classes, fitness programs, and a senior lunch program. The project will allow the City to continue providing high-quality programming and facilities to the community.
The proposed project makes improvements to lighting, flooring, storage, and restrooms. The project scope also includes the addition of a fitness area and a computer room that will be available for use by seniors. Additionally, the proposed design includes multi-functional space that can be utilized for recreational classes, community group meetings, and facility rentals. Transit bus operators will have access to the space for restroom breaks, lunch breaks, use of the computer room and related uses.
Maintenance and operation of the new construction will be the responsibility of the Recreation and Community Services Department. Since the project is partially funded with Measure A Annual Allocation funds, the City will be eligible to utilize Measure A Maintenance and Servicing funds for future maintenance expenses. Measure A Maintenance and Servicing funds can be used for maintenance costs for the project after construction is completed, offseeting expenses charged to the General Fund.
The new fitness and computer area will be staffed by Senior Center staff members who are present during normal operating hours. Staff members will assist with opening/closing, programming, and general assistance of the newly constructed areas. The Recreation and Community Services Department will also work along with the Division of Information Technology (DoIT) for computer set-up, internet access, and ongoing information technology support.
The City Council is required to approve and adopt plans, specifications and working details, and authorize the bid request for all public projects. The bid advertisement is consistent with Public Contract Code sections 20161 and 20162, which mandate California public works projects to be competitively bid. This action is also consistent with
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 28, 2025
Montebello Municipal Code 3.20.110 - Bidding procedure prescribed.
With the City Council's approval, staff will advertise the project for bid in a local newspaper of general circulation and submit the Notice Inviting Bid (NIB) to Planet Bid.
The following tentative schedule has been identified for the bid process:
