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 RESOLUTION NO. 26-54 APPROVING THE MEMORANDUM
OF AGREEMENT FOR ADMINISTRATION AND COST SHARING TO
IMPLEMENT THE UPPER LOS ANGELES RIVER WATERSHED
COORDINATED INTEGRATED MONITORING PROGRAM AND
WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FY 2026–2031
DATE: August 12, 2026
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 26-54 approving the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the City of Montebello and the 20 participating agencies of the Upper Los Angeles River Watershed Management Group (ULAR WMG), including the Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD), County of Los Angeles, City of Los Angeles, and member cities, for cooperative administration and cost sharing of monitoring and watershed management requirements mandated under the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) Permit; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the MOA and any subsequent administrative amendments approved by the ULAR WMG; and
3. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Pursuant to the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), Exhibit B, Table 1, the City of Montebello's required cost-share contribution over the five-year term totals $140,840 for Fiscal Years 2026–27 through 2030–31.
The estimated annual fiscal impacts are as follows:
• FY 26–27: $27,149
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2026
• FY 27–28: $26,702
• FY 28–29: $32,575
• FY 29–30: $26,987
• FY 30–31: $27,427
Funding is available through the City’s stormwater program budget and the Safe Clean Water Program allocations that support regulatory compliance (Fund 229). Failure to participate would expose the City of Montebello to:
• Higher standalone monitoring costs.
• Increased risk of enforcement, fines, and violation of MS4 Permit requirements. • Loss of participation in Upper Los Angeles River Watershed Management Group (ULAR WMG) compliance benefits.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City of Montebello is a permittee under the 2021 Regional Phase I Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit issued by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region. This permit mandates that Montebello and other co-permittees implement a Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP) and a Watershed Management Program (WMP) to meet water quality standards and ensure compliance with stormwater requirements.
The ULAR WMG was originally formed by member agencies to collaboratively implement these programs. The City of Los Angeles serves as the Lead Agency, while the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) serves as the Contract Administrator for cost-sharing, invoicing, consultant contracting, and budget management.
The attached MOA, effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029, with two optional one- year extensions, establishes the responsibilities, cost allocations, reporting requirements, and administrative procedures for fiscal years 2026–2031.
The MOA enables participating agencies to collaboratively fund and implement:
• Monitoring Services, including receiving water monitoring, stormwater outfall monitoring, non-stormwater outfall monitoring, urban lakes monitoring (including Legg Lake), data management, equipment operation and replacement, and preparation of monitoring sections of Annual Reports.
• WMP-Related Tasks, including annual reporting, adaptive management, trash monitoring, WMP revisions, CASQA membership, website management (lastormh2o.org), and coordination with the Regional Board. • Contract Administration, performed by SGVCOG, including invoicing, contracting with consultants, managing budgets, and reconciliation of expenditures.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2026
Key Provisions:
• Cost Sharing: Costs are allocated based on land area and proportional responsibility, as detailed in Exhibit B. Montebello’s combined annual cost ranges from $26,702 to $32,575, totaling $140,840 over five years. • Invoices: SGVCOG will issue annual invoices each July. Payments are due within 60 days. Late payments incur 10% penalties and 1% monthly interest. • Contingency Funds: A 15% contingency applies to monitoring and WMP tasks.
Funds may be shifted between programs with ULAR WMG consensus. • Reporting: The City of Los Angeles, as Lead Agency, will prepare required deliverables, transmit draft reports for review, and respond to Cities’ comments prior to Regional Board submittal.
• Withdrawal: Any party may withdraw with 30 days’ written notice, though the would remain responsible for costs incurred that fiscal year. Delinquent parties may be removed and still owe balances.
• Access and Compliance: Parties must grant reasonable access for monitoring activities and provide requested documentation necessary for compliance.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
The approval of the MOA is categorically exempt under CEQA as an administrative action that will not cause direct physical environmental impacts (Section 15378, CEQA Guidelines definition of “project”). Future projects resulting from WMP implementation will undergo separate CEQA review, if applicable.
ANALYSIS:
N/A
SUMMARY:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-54 approving the MOA with the ULAR WMG for the cooperative administration and cost sharing of MS4 Permit requirements. It is also recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the MOA and any subsequent administrative amendments approved by the ULAR WMG.

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: APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO AGREEMENT NO. 4175 WITH
YUNEX LLC FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL MAINTENANCE SERVICES
DATE: August 12, 2026
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve Amendment No. 3 to Agreement No. 4175 between the City of Montebello and Yunex LLC to increase the not-to-exceed amount by $80,000 bringing the new annual not-to-exceed amount to $450,000; and
2. Amend the adopted Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget by increasing appropriations by $160,000 in Account 200-30-310-6040.50 (Gas Tax, Public Works, Streets, Contract Services - Street Maintenance); and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Amendment on behalf of the City; and
4. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Public Works Department contracts with Yunex LLC for critical traffic signal repair and maintenance services throughout the City. The City Council previously authorized Contract Amendment No. 1 (Attachment C), which increased the not-to-exceed amount for Year 2 of Agreement No. 4175 by $90,000, from $280,000 to $370,000, to address unanticipated costs associated with repairing and replacing traffic signal equipment damaged primarily by uninsured and reckless drivers.
Execution of Amendment No. 2 (Attachment B) increased compensation by $90,000 and establishes a revised not-to-exceed amount of $370,000 for Year 3 and any subsequent additional term years. Unlike Amendment No. 1, which limited the compensation increase to Year 2 only, Amendment No. 2 allows the additional funding capacity to be applied to
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2026
Year 3 and future option years, ensuring continued availability of funds to address similar unanticipated traffic signal repair and replacement needs over the remaining term of the agreement.
Amendment No. 3 (Attachment A) will further increase the not-to-exceed value to $450,000 to account for additional repairs to City traffic signals and maintenance of new traffic signal installations.
As part of the Fiscal Year 2026–27 adopted budget, funding was appropriated for the traffic signal maintenance contract. However, due to the proposed increase in the annual not-to-exceed amount, the existing budget is no longer sufficient to support the remaining term of the agreement. To ensure adequate funding for the contract without depleting the account, staff is requesting an additional appropriation of $160,000 to Account 200-30- 310-6040.50 (Gas Tax, Public Works, Streets, Contract Services - Street Maintenance) for Fiscal Year 2026-27. This budget adjustment will provide sufficient funding to support the increased contract value.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City of Montebello entered into an agreement with Yunex LLC on January 24, 2024, to provide traffic signal maintenance services. The agreement was established for an initial three-year term with two optional, one-year extensions and an annual not-to- exceed amount of $280,000.
On May 14, 2025, the City executed Amendment No. 1, which increased the annual not- to-exceed amount for Year 2 only from $280,000 to $370,000. This increase was necessary to address unanticipated costs associated with repairing and replacing traffic signal equipment damaged primarily by vehicular collisions. The amendment was limited to the second year of the agreement and did not modify the compensation limits for Year 3 or any subsequent optional extension years.
As traffic signal damage continued to occur at a higher-than-anticipated rate, the City executed Amendment No. 2 on February 11, 2026, increasing the annual not-to-exceed amount for the remainder of the agreement's term, including any optional extension years, from $280,000 to $370,000.
Despite this adjustment, the frequency of vehicle collisions involving traffic signal poles and related infrastructure has continued to place significant financial demands on the contract. Emergency repairs and equipment replacement consume a substantial portion of the annual contract value, leaving insufficient funding to perform the routine preventive maintenance services necessary to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the City's traffic signal system.
To address these ongoing needs, Staff is requesting approval of Amendment No. 3 to increase the annual not-to-exceed amount from $370,000 to $450,000, an increase of $80,000, for the remaining contract term and optional extension years. The additional funding will provide the flexibility needed to respond to emergency traffic signal repairs while maintaining the City's scheduled preventive maintenance program, minimizing
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2026
service disruptions, and preserving the long-term reliability and safety of the City's traffic signal infrastructure.
Yunex LLC has consistently provided timely, responsive, and professional maintenance services throughout the duration of the agreement. Their technical expertise, reliability, and ability to respond quickly to emergency traffic signal repairs have been instrumental in maintaining the City's transportation infrastructure and ensuring the continued safe operation of signalized intersections.

SUMMARY:
Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 3 to Agreement No. 4175 with Yunex LLC to increase the annual not-to-exceed amount for traffic signal maintenance services from $370,000 to $450,000. The additional funding is necessary to address the continued increase in emergency repairs resulting from vehicle collisions with traffic signal infrastructure while ensuring sufficient funding remains available for routine preventive maintenance.
Staff also recommends amending the adopted Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget by increasing appropriations by $160,000 in Account No. 200-30-310-6040.50 (Gas Tax, Public Works, Streets, Contract Services - Street Maintenance) and authorizing the City Manager to execute the amendment on behalf of the City. Approval of these actions will help maintain the reliability, safety, and uninterrupted operation of the City's traffic signal system.

5. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed blanket purchase orders will provide annual purchasing authority for equipment, hardware, tools, electrical supplies, and related materials needed to support City operations during Fiscal Year 2026-27. Blanket purchase orders will be established as follows:
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2026
• Home Depot: $100,000, with the option to increase up to $150,000 through the OMNIA Partners cooperative purchasing agreement.
• Ace Hardware of Montebello (Wajtavar Corporation): $5,000, with the option to increase up to $10,000.
• Garvey Equipment Company: $10,000, with the option to increase up to $15,000. • Walters Wholesale Electric: $25,000, with the option to increase up to $30,000.
The Home Depot blanket purchase order will be executed through the OMNIA Partners cooperative purchasing agreement (Attachment A), as authorized by Section 3.20.050(F) of the Montebello Municipal Code. This section permits the City to utilize competitively awarded cooperative governmental purchasing programs for goods and services that are identical or substantially similar in scope, provided pricing is the same or better than that available through the cooperative agreement. Accordingly, this procurement is exempt from the City's standard bidding requirements.
Funding is included in the adopted Fiscal Year 2026-27 Public Works Department operating budget; therefore, the recommended actions do not require a budget adjustment.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City routinely purchases hardware, tools, electrical supplies, equipment, and related materials to support maintenance and repair activities across multiple departments.
Establishing annual blanket purchase orders improves procurement efficiency, reduces reliance on purchase cards and one-time purchases, and ensures staff have timely access to necessary materials.
Request for Quotes (RFQ) No. 26-02 (Attachment B) established competitively awarded blanket purchase orders with Ace Hardware of Montebello (Wajtavar Corporation), Garvey Equipment Company, and Walters Wholesale Electric. Because each vendor specializes in different product lines, multiple awards were necessary to provide comprehensive coverage of the City's operational needs.
In addition, Home Depot provides a broad inventory of maintenance and construction materials that complement the City's existing vendor network. Rather than conducting a separate solicitation, staff recommends utilizing the competitively awarded OMNIA Partners cooperative purchasing agreement, which is authorized under the Montebello Municipal Code and provides competitively priced products through a nationally solicited contract.
Approval of these blanket purchase orders will continue to provide City staff with reliable purchasing sources while maintaining compliance with the City's procurement requirements.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2026
ENVIRONMENTAL:
N/A
ANALYSIS:
Approval of the proposed blanket purchase orders will:
• Provide reliable access to a broad range of equipment, hardware, tools, electrical supplies, and maintenance materials.
• Utilize competitively procured contracts through both RFQ No. 26-02 and the OMNIA Partners cooperative purchasing agreement.
• Reduce procurement time and administrative costs for routine purchases. • Minimize operational delays by providing access to multiple qualified vendors with extensive inventories.
• Ensure compliance with the City's purchasing policies and Municipal Code (specifically Section 3.20.050(F)).
Purchases will be made on an as-needed basis within the approved annual budget and will not exceed the authorized blanket purchase order amounts.
SUMMARY:
Staff recommends approving blanket purchase orders for Fiscal Year 2026-27 with Home Depot through the OMNIA Partners cooperative purchasing agreement and with Ace Hardware of Montebello (Wajtavar Corporation), Garvey Equipment Company, and Walters Wholesale Electric based on RFQ No. 26-02. Together, these vendors provide competitive pricing, broad product availability, and the specialized inventory necessary to support the City's ongoing maintenance and operational needs while ensuring compliance with the City's procurement requirements.

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: APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT NO. 4126 WITH WAXIE ENTERPRISES, INC. FOR
CITYWIDE JANITORIAL SUPPLIES
DATE: August 12, 2026
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement No. 4126 between the City of Montebello and Waxie Enterprises, Inc. to increase the total not-to-exceed amount by $50,000, increasing the agreement amount from $300,000 to $350,000 and
2. Update departmental utilization to allow additional City departments access to the agreement for janitorial supplies and related products; and
3. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City entered into Professional Services Agreement No. 4126 with Waxie Enterprises, Inc. for the purchase of janitorial supplies and related products. The agreement was established for a three-year term beginning in October 2023 and is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2026.
Staff is requesting approval of Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 4126 to increase the agreement's total not-to-exceed amount by $50,000 and revise the departmental allocation of funds to better align with current operational needs. The amendment will authorize a $50,000 increase to existing Purchase Order No. 2026-121, which was originally issued in the amount of $119,556 and funded through the Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Transit operating budgets. The additional funding will ensure sufficient resources are available to continue purchasing janitorial supplies through the
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2026
remainder of the agreement term, which expires on October 31, 2026.
In addition, Amendment No. 1 updates the departmental funding allocation to include the Police and Fire Departments, ensuring their janitorial supply needs are incorporated into the agreement and allowing for the continued procurement of supplies on a citywide basis.
The proposed amendment will allow departments to utilize the existing Waxie agreement for the purchase of janitorial supplies and will adjust existing departmental allocations as follows:
• The Fire Department will establish an allocation under the Waxie agreement for the purchase of janitorial supplies in the amount of $1,500 • The Police Department will establish an allocation under the Waxie agreement for the purchase of janitorial supplies in the amount of $5,00 • Public Works Building Maintenance and Parks and Recreation will combine their janitorial supply needs into a single allocation in the amount of $20,000 • Transit will increase its utilization of the Waxie agreement by $8,000 to support additional janitorial supply needs
The non-Transit expenses will be recorded in Account No. 100-30-510-6000.30 (General Fund, Public Works, Facilities Maintenance, Supplies — Janitorial) and Transit related expenses will be funded through Account No. 600-90-915-6000.30 (Transit, Corporate Shop, Supplies -- Janitorial). Appropriations for the proposed amendment will be provided through the respective departmental operating budgets, included in the adopted Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget.
With approval of Amendment No. 1, the total not-to-exceed amount for Professional Services Agreement No. 4126 will increase from $300,000 to $350,000. The additional $50,000 provides the City with sufficient purchasing capacity to accommodate anticipated departmental needs through the remainder of the agreement term. Approval of the amendment does not obligate the City to expend the full amount; actual expenditures will depend on departmental purchasing needs.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City entered into Agreement No. 4126 with Waxie Enterprises, Inc. effective August 23, 2023, for the procurement of janitorial supplies and related products necessary to support City operations and facility maintenance. The original agreement provided for a three-year term with a total not-to-exceed amount of $300,000.
The agreement provides City departments with access to a centralized vendor for commonly used janitorial supplies, allowing the City to streamline purchasing, maintain consistency in products, and support facility maintenance needs across various City facilities and operations.
The agreement is currently in its final year and is scheduled to expire in October 2026.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2026
As operational needs have evolved, additional City departments have identified the need to utilize the existing Waxie agreement for janitorial supplies and related products. Staff is recommending approval of an amendment to increase the total not-to-exceed amount by up to $50,000, for a revised not-to-exceed amount of $350,000 and update departmental utilization to better reflect current and anticipated purchasing needs.
The proposed amendment will allow the Fire Department and Police Department to begin utilizing the existing agreement for janitorial supplies. Additionally, Public Works Building Maintenance and Parks and Recreation will consolidate their janitorial supply purchases under a combined allocation, while Transit will increase its utilization of the agreement to support additional janitorial supply requirements.
The proposed amendment does not change the scope of products available, the agreement term, or other terms and conditions of Agreement No. 4126. The amendment will only increase the total not-to-exceed amount and update departmental utilization to provide flexibility and accurately reflect current and anticipated City purchasing needs.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager
BY: Michael Solorza, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: AWARD PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT NO. 4575 WITH
URBAN FUTURES, INC TO PROVIDE CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
SERVICES
DATE: August 12, 2026
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Award Professional Services Agreement No. 4575 with Urban Futures, Inc. (UFI) in an amount not to exceed $61,500 ($20,500 annually); and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement; and
3. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total amount of this agreement shall not exceed $61,500 ($20,500 annually) over the initial three (3) year term. Sufficient funds for this expenditure were budgeted in Fund 410 (Debt Service), Fund 620 (Hilton Garden Inn), and Fund 625 (Home 2 Suites) for Fiscal Year 2026-27. The services provided will be for continuing disclosure and post-issuance compliance services related to the City’s various outstanding debt issues. These services are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission (CDIAC) and other Federal and State agencies and regulations.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The Department of Finance relies on financial advisors' specialized expertise and resources to assist with specific financial and operational projects. For long-term debt financing, the City hires the services of a financial advisor that develops issuance
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2026
strategies, provides bond marketing options, and general guidance to assist in market opportunity monitoring and rating agency presentation. Additionally, the financial advisor helps City staff in policy development, operational reviews, financial modeling and analysis, specialized forecasts, financial reports, and capital planning. The financial advisor provides a high degree of technical expertise, skills, and knowledge unavailable from City staff.
According to their continuing disclosure agreements, bonds issued by local governments are subject to ongoing monitoring and reporting for compliance with tax and disclosure requirements. In addition to securities and tax requirements, governmental issuers may face a variety of other compliance obligations, such as bond indenture requirements, state and local law, and policy requirements. To meet these obligations, staff requests authorization to establish an agreement with Urban Futures, Inc. (UFI) for continuing disclosure and post-issuance compliance services related to the City’s security, debt, loan, and other outstanding obligations.
Urban Futures is based in Southern California. They have over 75 years of experience providing financial services for private and public entities. Their public management group brings a dynamic blend of technical and practical approaches to financial management. Staff is confident their services can best meet the needs of the City.
The services provided by UFI are professional and exempt from the competitive bidding process pursuant to Montebello Municipal Code 3.20.050(H), which states:
Purchases of supplies and equipment for city use shall be made and accomplished in conformity with Section 3.20.080 or Section 3.20.090 except:
Nothing shall be construed to preclude the City from awarding a written contract for professional type services, as defined by case or statutory law, without complying with the provisions of this article. The term "professional services" means services entailing a high degree of specialized technical or mental skill, in a recognized field of expertise.

City of Montebello
Attn: Risk Manager
1600 West Beverly Boulevard
Montebello, CA 90640
Email: [email protected]
Coverage shall not be suspended, voided, cancelled, reduced in coverage or in limits, non-renewed, or materially changed for any reason, without thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof given by the insurer to the CITY by U.S. mail, or by personal delivery, except for nonpayment of premiums, in which case ten (10) days prior notice shall be provided.

CONSULTANT hereby waives all rights of subrogation against the CITY. l. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the CITY. At the option of the CITY, the CONSULTANT shall either reduce or eliminate the deductibles or self -insured retentions with respect to the CITY, or the CONSULTANT shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and expenses. m.

The CONSULTANT shall not subcontract, delegate, or assign its duties or rights hereunder, either in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the CITY.

No such subcontract, delegation or assignment shall result in any increase in the amount of total compensation payable to the CONSULTANT under the Agreement.

We curren tly serve over 200 California cities, enterprise districts, successor agencies, joint powers and financing authorities, school districts, and charter schools.
UFI has extensive experience providing disclosure reporting for all credit types, legal structures, and methods of sale for the debt obligations of the City of Montebello (“City”) and its related entities. Our Analytics & Compliance Group files more than 400 annual disclosure reports and has the expertise and resources necessary to ensure compliance with all of the City’s reporting requirements in an organized and efficie nt manner. UFI serves our clients with personnel located in both Southern California and Northern California.
Scope of Services
UFI provides clients with a full suite of continuing disclosure and post -issuance compliance services, tailored to the reporting requirements of each covered security, debt, loan, or other outstanding obligation. For a list of the City’s debt obligations covered by our proposal, please see the table below under “Annual Fee and Contract Terms.” To ensure we deliver accurate and timely services, UFI has developed a proprietary, in -house database and tracking system. The details of our client’s issuances and debt obligations are entered into the database (applicable disclosure requirements, filings, deadlines, etc.) enabling us to work closely with clients to keep them in compliance.

Our proposed continuing disclosure and post -issuance compliance services include the following:
• Annual Disclosure Report ing for Municipal Securities. For municipal securities where the City has entered into a Continuing Disclosure Certificate or Agreement, UFI will annually prepare and post the required Continuing Disclosure Annual Report (CDAR) on the MSRB's Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) data portal. Each year we will send a request for client -provided information and financial documents, assemble required third -party data, update the corresponding analytical tables, and review the documents necessary to ensure the report complies with the requirements and deadlines of the applicable Continuing Disclosure Certificate or Agreement. We will provide the City a copy of the disclosure report to review before filing. After filing the disclosure report and associated financial documents on EMMA, we will transmit a copy of the report and the electronic posting confirmation to the City.
• Material Event Filings. For Listed Events in the applicable Continuing Disclosure Certificate or Agreement, UFI will prepare and post the requisite Material or Significant Event Notice on the EMMA data portal. To ensure notice of Listed Events are posted in a timely manner, we work closely with trustees and clients to receive updated information, monitor Bloomberg’s market data for various event alerts, and stay up -to-date on any changes in SEC/MSRB regulations. Please note, the City is required to timely report to UFI the occurrence of Listed Events of which the City is made aware. • Annual CDIAC Filings. For all debt obligations issued after January 21, 2017, and for pre- 2017 debt obligations that used a Marks- Roos financing authority, UFI will annually assemble the required data and file the Annual Debt Transparency Reports and/or Marks- Roos Yearly Fiscal Status Reports with the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission (CDIAC). If required, we will request through the City information from the trustee on bond fund balances. We have developed expertise on the reporting requirements and tracking of affiliated filings using CDIAC’s online reporting system.
A-4
• Annual Disclosure Reporting for Private Placements. For private placement of bonds, loans, leases, etc., that have annual disclosure reporting requirements, UFI will assemble and prepare the necessary data and documents (including a separate disclosure report if required), and either post the information to EMMA (if required) and/or transmit the information to lenders and trustees in accordance with applicable private placement documents.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager
BY: Michael Solorza, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NOS. 1 TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT NO. 4142 ACRO PRINTING, INC., AGREEMENT NO.
4143 WITH ARTE PRINTING AND AGREEMENT NO. 4145 WITH THE
SAUCE CREATIVE SERVICES FOR PRINTING, GRAPHIC DESIGN,
AND MAILING SERVICES
DATE: August 12, 2026
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement No. 4142 with Acro Printing, Inc.; and
2. Approve Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement No. 4143 with Arte Printing; and
3. Approve Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement No. 4145 with The Sauce Creative Services; and
4. Authorize the City Manager to execute the amendments, extending the term of the agreements to June 30, 2028; and
5. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City relies on Acro Printing, Inc., Arte Printing, and Sauce Creative Services to provide printing, branding, and creative services that support City operations and public outreach. All agreements consist of an annual contingency amount of $25,000 with the authorization of the City Manager. The contingency has been established to address any unforeseen demand for services.
The adopted Fiscal Year 2026-27 operating budget allocated the necessary funds to
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2026
each Department for these services. Therefore, no budget amendment is needed as part of the recommended action.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On October 11, 2023, the City of Montebello entered into Professional Services Agreement No. 4142 with Acro Printing, Inc., Professional Services Agreement No. 4143 with Arte Printing, and Professional Services Agreement No. 4145 with The Sauce Creative Services to provide printing, graphic design, and mailing services.
Acro Printing, Inc., Arte Printing, and The Sauce Creative Services have consistently provided timely, professional, and specialized printing, branding, and creative services that meet the City's operational needs. Their responsiveness, quality of work, and ability to deliver a wide range of products—including business cards, promotional items, apparel, marketing materials, signage, and other printed materials—have supported the City's communication and outreach efforts.
The current agreements expired on June 30, 2026. Staff recommends approving Amendment No. 1 to each agreement to extend the term of the agreement through June 30, 2028. The proposed two-year extension will ensure the continued availability of timely, professional, and specialized printing, branding, and creative services that support the City's operational, communication, and public outreach needs, while maintaining continuity with vendors that have consistently delivered quality services across all Departments.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager
BY: David Sosnowski, Director of Recreation and Community Services
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PURCHASE ORDER WITH DARKTRACE HOLDINGS
LTD FOR CYBERSECURITY SOFTWARE SERVICES
DATE: August 12, 2026
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the purchase of cybersecurity software services from Darktrace Holdings Ltd in an amount not-to-exceed $53,261 for Fiscal Year 2026-27; and
2. Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff is requesting to open a purchase order with Darktrace Holdings Ltd in an amount not-to-exceed $53,261 for Fiscal Year 2026-27 for cybersecurity software services.
Funds for this expenditure were included as part of the Fiscal Year 2026-27 adopted Information Technology Division budget. Therefore, a budget amendment is not required as part of the recommended actions.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Since 2021, the City has used Darktrace to improve cybersecurity. Since implementing Darktrace, it has proven to be an asset in accomplishing the Information Technology Division’s (DoIT) goal of protecting sensitive data, critical systems, and infrastructure.
Some features of the software include:
• Advanced Threat Detection: The software identifies anomalous and potentially malicious behavior within the network in real time, enabling Staff to respond to emerging risks quickly.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2026
• Visibility and Network Monitoring: Darktrace provides Staff with unparalleled visibility into the City’s network traffic and activities. This enables Staff to address vulnerabilities and improve the City’s overall security posture proactively. • Compliance Requirements: The software meets many regulatory frameworks, including those governing the protection of sensitive citizen data, and mandates robust security measures. Darktrace’s capabilities support compliance with these regulations, ensuring the City adheres to legal and ethical obligations.
Staff firmly believe that having this software provides an immediate and critical response to combat information technology cybersecurity risks. This is especially essential as some of the most significant cyber security attacks have targeted government agencies.
Recent attacks illustrate the vulnerabilities of interconnected infrastructures and the inability to respond quickly.
Staff from the Division of Information Technology (DoIT) have conducted thorough research and determined that this software solution is proprietary and only available from one source. Therefore, it is requested that the City Council authorize this purchase as a sole source under Montebello Municipal Code Chapter 3.20.050(B) – Conformance with Bidding Procedures, which states:
Purchases of supplies and equipment for city use shall be made and accomplished in conformity with Section 3.20.080 or 3.20.090 except:
Sole/Single Source Goods and/or Services: When the supplies and equipment needed can be obtained from one source only, such that a written declaration of such will be required and noted by standard forms.
Darktrace is purchased directly from the software manufacturer and is not affiliated with a third party.

Staff recommends the City Council authorize the purchase of cybersecurity software services from Darktrace Holdings Ltd in an amount not-to-exceed $53,261 for Fiscal Year 2026-27.
