funds in the purpose areas where they are needed most to reduce crime and improve public safety.

FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager

BY: Luis Lopez, Police Chief
SUBJECT: AWARD PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT NO. 4611 TO ALLTECH INDUSTRIES, INC. FOR CROSSING GUARD SERVICES
DATE: August 26, 2026
RECOMMENDATIONS:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Award Professional Services Agreement No. 4611 to Alltech Industries Inc. for Crossing Guard Services; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement on behalf of the City; and

3. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This pricing for the crossing guard services is based upon five (5) crossing guards compensated for an average of three (3) hours per day, for 180 school days annually.

The annual not-to-exceed amount for Fiscal Year 2026-27 is $73,278. The term of this agreement is for three (3) years, commencing upon the Effective Date of a notice to proceed and expiring three years hence. The agreement allows for an extension of up to two (2) one-year periods (Attachment A).

Funds for crossing guard services are currently budgeted in the Police Department’s Fiscal Year 2026-27 Traffic Division (Account No. 100-80-810-6040.10, General Fund, Police, Traffic, Other Contract Services). Therefore, no budget amendment is needed as part of the recommended actions. Also, the City has a cost sharing agreement with Montebello Unified School District (MUSD) whereby the District reimburses the City for ten percent (10%) of the annual crossing guard expenses.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2026

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

Pursuant to the City of Montebello Municipal Code (MMC), Request for Proposals No. 26-08 (RFP) was released on June 25, 2026. The RFP sought proposals from qualified firms to provide crossing guard services at five locations (Bella Vista Elementary, Greenwood Elementary, La Merced Elementary, Potrero Hieghts Elementary, and Wilcox Elementary) for three hours per day, 180 days per year. In accordance with the MMC, the RFP was posted on PlanetBids and the City’s website. The RFP provided detailed information regarding the required services, scope of work, proposal submission process, deadline, evaluation criteria, and other applicable submittal requirements.

The City received six proposals by the submission deadline. A five-member evaluation panel reviewed and scored each proposal based on the criteria established in the RFP.

Following its evaluation, the panel determined that Alltech Industries, Inc. met the qualifications outlined in the RFP and demonstrated the ability to perform the requested crossing guard services. Accordingly, the panel recommends that the City Council award the crossing guard services agreement (Attachment A) to Alltech Industries, Inc., as further discussed in this report.

RECREATION LEGACY PARTNERSHIP GRANT PROGRAM
DATE: August 26, 2026
RECOMMENDATIONS:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Authorize submission of an application for the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Grant Program; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to conduct all negotiations and execute and submit documents necessary for the completion of the awarded project; and

3. Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership (“ORLP”) Grant Program is made available through the National Park Service. Round 8 of the program is currently accepting applications for park acquisition, park development, or park renovation projects. The City of Montebello would be required to provide a funding match amount of 50% of the total project cost.

Staff is estimating the cost of the project to be $3,400,000, thus requiring a possible City match of at least $1,700,000. All non-federal (state, local, or private) sources are eligible for matching funds. Staff will return with a plan to fund the required match and/or a request to amend the budget if the grant application is successful.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The ORLP Grant Program was established in 2014 and is funded through the Land and

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2026

Water Conservation Fund. The program is administered through the National Park Service and involves two competitive layers. First, the California Department of Parks and Recreation’s Office of Grants and Local Services (“OGALS”) conducts a competitive review of applications. Second, OGALS forwards selected applications to the National Park Service for consideration in the nationwide competition. Grant awards are expected to be announced in May 2027.

The ORLP Grant Program aims to provide grant assistance to help economically disadvantaged urban communities with limited access to publicly available, close-by, outdoor recreation. ORLP funds can be used for the acquisition or development of new parks, or substantial renovations of an existing park.

Staff is proposing improvements to Montebello City Park in accordance with the areas identified as part of the Montebello City Park Specific Plan. The project proposal will include installation of a multi-purpose soccer field and parking lot on the south side of the park. Additional improvements will include renovation of the current picnic shelter area, new walking/bike path, new restrooms, tennis court renovation and outdoor basketball court renovation. The Montebello City Park Specific Plan was developed as part of the City’s Parks Master Plan, utilizing community input and includes the recommendation to renovate or add the amenities described above.

Ronnie Urias, Senior Management Analyst
SUBJECT: APPROVE AGREEMENT NO. 4609 WITH LOS ANGELES CENTERS

FOR ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE (LA CADA) FOR OPERATION AND

SUPPORTIVE SERVICES FOR OPERATION STAY SAFE (TINY
HOMES)
DATE: August 26, 2026
RECOMMENDATIONS:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Approve Professional Services Agreement No. 4609 with Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol and Drug Abuse (LA CADA) for the continued operation, management, and provision of supportive services for the City's Operation Stay Safe (OSS) program, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $1,475,728 for Fiscal Year 2026-27, subject to the availability and appropriation of sufficient program and grant funding; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement on behalf of the City; and

3. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Professional Services Agreement No. 4609 (Attachment A) provides for a maximum compensation amount of $1,475,728 for Fiscal Year 2026-27 to support the continued operation and management of the City's Operation Stay Safe program. The agreement includes personnel costs, operating costs, and indirect costs necessary to provide the services identified in the Scope of Services. The agreement term is July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.

Funding for the Operation Stay Safe program is currently pending and has not yet been

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2026

fully secured. The City is pursuing grant funding from Los Angeles County Measure A, Encampment Resolution Grant funding, and Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funding to support the continued operation of the program and the services provided under the Agreement.

The Agreement expressly provides that the City's obligation to compensate LA CADA is contingent upon the availability and appropriation of sufficient program funds, including grant funding. The City has no obligation to authorize expenditures or provide payment for services beyond available funding sources. Accordingly, approval of the Agreement does not obligate the City to expend funds that have not been secured or appropriated.

The Agreement further provides that the City may modify, suspend, or terminate services if sufficient program funding is unavailable.

Staff will continue to pursue available grant funding opportunities to support Operation Stay Safe and will monitor the availability and appropriation of program funds throughout the term of the Agreement. Any necessary budget appropriations associated with awarded grant funding will be presented to the City Council for consideration in accordance with applicable City procedures.

The Agreement provides that it may be extended for one additional year upon the mutual written agreement of the City and LA CADA, subject to the availability of applicable grant funding. The potential extension is not being authorized as part of the current Council action.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

In 2022, the City of Montebello launched Operation Stay Safe (OSS), a transitional housing initiative designed to provide interim housing and supportive services to individuals experiencing homelessness. The program provides residents with housing stability assistance and connections to supportive resources intended to help participants transition toward permanent housing.

Operation Stay Safe is a component of the City's broader homelessness response efforts and is administered through the Montebello Fire Department's Montebello Community Assistance Program (MCAP). Through MCAP, the City provides outreach, case management, housing navigation, and other supportive services designed to assist individuals experiencing homelessness and help connect them with appropriate housing and community resources.

LA CADA has historically provided operational and supportive services associated with Operation Stay Safe. The City now seeks to continue those services under a new Citymanaged Professional Services Agreement directly between the City of Montebello and LA CADA. Professional Services Agreement No. 4609 establishes the terms under which LA CADA will continue providing program operation, management, supportive services, administrative support, and related services necessary to operate the City's housing and supportive services program.

The Scope of Services includes program site management, case management, housing

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2026

navigation, resident support, health and wellness support, administrative and data support, and operational program support. These services are intended to provide comprehensive program support, participant assistance, administrative oversight, and operational coordination.

Under the Agreement, LA CADA will provide qualified personnel and operational resources necessary to deliver the services, including program site management, case management, housing navigation, resident support, health and wellness services, and administrative/data support. The anticipated staffing plan includes a Program Site Manager, Case Manager, Housing Navigator, Custodian, Resident Support Staff, Health and Wellness Staff, and Administrative/Data Support.

The proposed Agreement has a term beginning July 1, 2026 and continuing through June 30, 2027. The Agreement may be extended for one additional year upon mutual written agreement of the City and LA CADA and subject to the availability of applicable grant funding.

The proposed agreement represents a continuation of services at Operation Stay Safe while transitioning the program to a direct City-managed contractual structure. This structure will allow the City to maintain direct oversight of the program, coordinate available funding sources, monitor program performance, and ensure that services remain aligned with the City's homelessness response priorities.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

N/A
ANALYSIS:

Approval of Professional Services Agreement No. 4609 (Attachment A) will allow the City to continue the operation of Operation Stay Safe and maintain essential housing and supportive services for program participants. The Agreement provides a defined scope of services and establishes LA CADA's responsibilities for program management, case management, housing navigation, resident support, health and wellness services, administrative support, and related operational needs.

The proposed Agreement provides the City with a direct contractual relationship with LA CADA for the continued delivery of Operation Stay Safe services. This City-managed structure will provide the City with greater direct oversight of program operations, expenditures, performance, and service delivery while allowing the City to coordinate multiple grant funding sources intended to support the program.

The maximum compensation under the Agreement for Fiscal Year 2026-27 is $1,475,728. This amount represents the maximum amount available under the Agreement and includes personnel costs, operating costs, and indirect costs necessary to provide the contracted services.

At this time, funding for the Agreement is pending. The City is pursuing Measure A,

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2026

Encampment Resolution Grant, and PLHA funding to support Operation Stay Safe.

Because these funding sources have not yet been fully secured, the Agreement appropriately conditions the City's obligation to provide compensation upon the availability and appropriation of sufficient program funds, including grant funding. The Agreement further provides that the City may modify, suspend, or terminate services if sufficient program funding is unavailable. This provision provides an important fiscal safeguard and ensures that the City is not required to expend funds beyond those appropriated and made available for the program.

The Agreement also establishes a one-year extension option for Fiscal Year 2027-28, with maximum compensation of $1,549,514, subject to mutual written agreement and the availability of applicable grant funding. The potential extension would allow the City to maintain continuity of services if sufficient funding is secured and the program continues to require the contracted services.

Based on the scope of services and the need to maintain continuity of Operation Stay Safe, staff recommends approval of Professional Services Agreement No. 4609 with LA CADA, subject to the availability and appropriation of sufficient program and grant funding.

SUMMARY:

Staff recommends approving Professional Services Agreement No. 4609 (Attachment A) with Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol and Drug Abuse (LA CADA) for the continued operation, management, and provision of supportive services for the City's Operation Stay Safe (OSS) program, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $1,475,728 for Fiscal Year 2026-27, subject to the availability and appropriation of sufficient program and grant funding; and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement on behalf of the City.

The CONSULTANT shall provide to the CITY Certificate(s) of Insurance evidencing such coverage together with copies of the required policy endorsements no later than five (5) business days prior to commencement of service and at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the expiration of any policy. Unreasonable failure to provide such evidence may be cause for termination of the Agreement as provided herein or delay the services’ commencement date. The evidence of insurance shall be provided by U.S. mail or email to:

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, nonrenewed, 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 personal delivery, except for nonpayment of premiums, in which case ten (10) days prior notice shall be provided. g. Evidence of Insurance during the entire term of the Agreement. At all times during the term of this Agreement, the CONSULTANT shall maintain on file with the CITY’s Risk Manager a certificate or certificates of insurance showing that the aforesaid policies are in effect in the required amounts and naming the CITY as an additional insured.

ITEM # 14

CITY OF MONTEBELLO

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager

BY: Luis Lopez, Police Chief
SUBJECT: APPROVE LEASE AND FINANCING AGREEMENT WITH THE BANCORP, N.A. FOR THE ACQUISITION OF POLICE PATROL

VEHICLES
DATE: August 26, 2026
RECOMMENDATIONS:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Approve the comprehensive leasing plan with The Bancorp, N.A. for acquisition of six (6) Police Department patrol vehicles; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement; and

3. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The annual financing cost for the six patrol vehicles and related equipment is $114,832, with a five year lease agreement, the total cost is $574,160. The Fiscal Year 2026-27 Police Department budget includes $300,000 in appropriations for vehicle maintenance and repairs. The goal is to reduce the need for this entire appropriated amount with the introduction of new patrol vehicles into the Police Department fleet. The reduction to ongoing maintenance expenses will be used to pay the annual lease payment.

Therefore, no budget amendment is needed at this time. Staff will monitor vehicle maintenance expenses and recommend a budget adjustment at one of the upcoming quarterly budget presentations if needed. Delivery of the vehicles is estimated to be four to six months from approval of the lease agreement (Attachment A). The first payment on the leased vehicles is not due until the month following delivery of the vehicles. Future budgets will be developed to include the annual lease amount due.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2026

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

Over the past several fiscal years, the Montebello Police Department has used a combination of leasing and direct purchase to acquire vehicles for its fleet: patrol, administrative, detective, etc. This approach has presented challenges, including a lack of budgeted funding for the purchase of patrol vehicles, prolonged vehicle delivery timelines, and long-lead times to outfit patrol vehicles once they are acquired (i.e., adding necessary communication equipment, lights, decals, etc.).

To address these challenges and enhance operational efficiency, staff proposes transitioning to a fleet leasing model with The Bancorp, N.A. which is a GSA contract holder. This plan consolidates the purchase of six patrol vehicles into a lease agreement, which will provide upfront cost savings by spreading the purchase and outfitting expenses over five years (Attachment B). The acquisition of new patrol vehicles will enhance fleet management by reducing wear and tear on aging patrol vehicles.

The City of Azusa entered into a lease agreement with Bancorp in June 2025 (Attachment C). Under Montebello Municipal Code 3.20.050(G) Conformance with bidding procedures, Piggyback Purchase, the City is exempt from the Request for Proposal (RFP) procedure and can “piggyback” onto Azusa’s lease agreement:

If the Purchasing Officer determines it to be in the best interest of the city, the Purchasing Officer is authorized to "piggyback" onto or join into an existing written purchase contract obtained through a competitive bidding process prepared by and awarded by another local, state or federal government agency.

Therefore, the procurement of the six Police Department patrol vehicles will be accomplished through the lease agreement with The Bancorp, N.A (Attachments A and B).

ENVIRONMENTAL:

N/A
ANALYSIS:

Under the proposed plan, the City will lease a total of six (6) patrol vehicles. The transition to leasing will streamline fleet management by introducing new vehicles into the fleet and reducing annual capital expenditures needed to purchase a fully outfitted patrol vehicle:
• Financial: The annual leasing cost is $114,832 (total of $574,160 over the five year lease term0. Residual value recovery at the end of the 60-month lease term can be redirected to leasing of future vehicles. Residual value is defined as the estimated value of the fleet at public auction at the end of the 60-month term. • Cost Efficiency: The leasing program extends the cost of capital purchases of police vehicles over a 60-month term. This allows for the purchase of multiple vehicles at the approximate annual cost of a single fully upfitted patrol vehicle. By leasing vehicles, it will

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2026

allow for regular turnover of the police fleet and reduce maintenance costs by replacing aging vehicles.
. • Kit Lease to Own: Currently, the Montebello Police Department only budgets for maintenance of its fleet and has to request additional appropriations for the purchase of police vehicles and required equipment (i.e., computers, lights, decals, etc.). Including the equipment in the vehicle lease expense spreads the total acquisition cost over the course of the five-year lease term (Attachment B).

For example, instead of purchasing new police computers for the patrol cars in Fiscal Year 2026-27, six computers have been included in the lease proposal, which would be a capital purchase of $19,854. The one-time purchase cost of new police vehicle computers for the proposed new vehicles totals $3,500 each (Attachment B). These items are included in the proposed lease rather than being purchased separately.

Additionally, under this model, the City would not own the police computers, which are frequently updated and rendered obsolete, typically sooner than the service life of the patrol vehicle. Instead, the equipment would be exchanged for the new technology at the end of the lease term, and a new vehicle would be delivered with the new version of the police computers.

SUMMARY:

Staff recommends approving the lease agreement (Attachment A) with The Bancorp, N.A.to lease six fully outfitted police vehicles over a five year term, and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.

5. Left blank intentionally.

6. Non-Appropriation. If no funds or insufficient funds are appropriated in any fiscal year for lease amounts due as to any vehicle and under law Lessee has a right to terminate this lease as to the related vehicle because of such non-appropriation, Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor of such occurrence, and this lease shallterminate as to such vehicle on the last day of the fiscal period for which appropriations were received, without penalty or expense to Lessee except as to related amounts herein for which funds shall have been appropriated and budgeted or are otherwise available and past due amounts and damages because of Lessee’s default hereunder. Upon such termination, Lessee shall peaceably surrender possession of the vehicle to Lessor at a location contemplated in the Termination Settlement paragraph. Lessor shall have all legal and equitable rights and remedies to take possession of the vehicle. Lessee agrees (a) that it will not cancel this lease if any funds are appropriated to it, or by it, for the acquisition, retention, or operation of another vehicle performing functions similar to the vehicle for the fiscal period in which such termination occurs or the next succeeding fiscal period thereafter and (b) that Lessee shall not give priority in the application of funds to any other functionally similar property.

7. Titling; Registration. Except as Lessor may title or register a vehicle, each vehicle will be titled and/or registered by Lessee as Lessor’s agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to register (but without power to affect title to) the vehicle in such manner and in such jurisdiction or jurisdictions as Lessor directs. Lessee will promptly notify Lessor of any necessary or advisable re-titling and/or re-registration of a vehicle in a jurisdiction other than the one in which such vehicle is then titled and/or registered. Lessee will use reasonable efforts to cause any and all documents of title will be furnished or caused to be furnished Lessor by Lessee within sixty (60) days of the date any titling or registering or re-titling or reregistering, as appropriate, is directed by Lessor.

8. Other Duties Regarding Vehicles. Lessee will file all returns and pay all taxes related to each vehicle or this lease. Lessee will use a vehicle in accordance with all laws and manufacturer’s and insurance company instructions. Each vehicle will be permanently garaged, and not removed from that state for more than thirty (30) days or the United States, at the vehicle location set forth in the applicable Schedule A, unless Lessor consents to Lessee’s movement of the vehicle.

11. Insurance; Indemnity. Lessee will maintain physical damage insurance on the Vehicles. Lessee shall also provide liability insurance of at least $500,000 single limit. The insurance must be primary, list Lessor as loss payee and, if relevant, an additional insured, provide Lessor at least 10 days’ notice of change or cancellation and be issued by an insurance company acceptable to Lessor.

This indemnity includes strict and vicarious liability.

12. Termination Settlement. If the term of the lease exceeds twelve (12) months, at any time after twelve (12) months from delivery of a vehicle Lessee, upon not less than thirty (30) days prior notice to Lessor and provided the lease is not in default, may surrender the vehicle to Lessor at Lessor’s office address shown above or at a location mutually agreed upon by the parties for sale by Lessor as more fully set forth above. Lessee will so surrender the vehicle at such location for such sale at lease expiration. Following such surrender Lessor will sell the vehicle through Lessor’s standard wholesale sales procedure for the highest bona fide bid received and open at time of sale, provided that Lessor may choose alternatively to retain the vehicle. Lessor may move the vehicle from the location where surrendered to any other location, including to Lessor’s office location shown above where the vehicle is returned to another location, Lessor deems advisable and/or clean and repair the vehicle in connection with such sale in Lessor’s sole discretion. If the amount received by Lessor on account of such sale or the highest bona fide bid received and open at time of crediting where the vehicle is retained, as appropriate, net in either instance of a handling charge of $150.00 and Lessor’s cost of sale, including sales commissions and costs of cleaning, repairing or transporting the vehicle, is greater than the vehicle’s then Settlement Value, Lessee will have no settlement obligation to Lessor as to the vehicle and the excess will be returned to Lessee after application to any amounts then owed by Lessee to Lessor; if less, Lessee will pay Lessor the difference. Alternatively, if the lease is not in default, Lessee may pay the Settlement Value and retain the vehicle free of Lessor’s lien.

13. Default. If (a) Lessee fails to make any payment due hereunder within 10 days of the due date, (b) Lessee breaches any of its other obligations hereunder or under any other agreement under which Lessee has obligations to Lessor, (c) any warranty or representation made by Lessee to Lessor is materially incorrect or misleading when made, (d) there is a cessation of Lessee’s governmental functions, or (e) insolvency proceedings are instituted by or against Lessee, this lease will be in default.

14. Remedies. If a default occurs, Lessor may (a) declare the Settlement Value due as to any or all vehicles, (b) exercise all rights of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code, (c) perform any obligation Lessee has failed to perform, in which case Lessee will reimburse Lessor’s related costs and expenses, and (d) exercise any other rights available to Lessor under law or equity. Lessee will pay Lessor all costs and expenses, including repossession and court costs and attorneys’ fees, Lessor expends in enforcing its rights. All remedies are cumulative and may be exercised separately or together from time to time. No waiver by Lessor of any default or remedy will be binding unless acknowledged by Lessor in writing.

15. Lessee’s Representations. Lessee represents that this lease has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Lessee and constitutes Lessee’s valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms. Lessee also represents that this lease does not violate Lessee’s charter documents, any agreement by which Lessee is bound or any law or obligation binding on Lessee and that Lessor’s lien rights are governed by the Uniform Commercial Code.

16. Notices. Any notices relating to this lease must be in writing and will be effective when deposited in the United States Mail with proper first class postage paid, addressed to the appropriate party at the respective address indicated above or at such other address of which the party has provided the other notice as contemplated in this paragraph. (ii) sent by electronic mail to the email address designated by the Lessor [email protected] for purposes of notice under this Lease. Notice sent by electronic mail will be effective upon transmission, provided that the sender does not receive an automated notice of failed delivery or other indication that the email was not successfully delivered. Either party may change its mailing address or designated email address for notices by providing written notice of such change to the other party in accordance with this paragraph.

17. General Provisions. Any security deposit set forth in a Schedule A will be held by Lessor without interest and may be applied by Lessor to any of Lessee’s past due obligations hereunder. Any balance remaining will be returned to Lessee upon payment of all amounts due under this lease as to the relevant vehicle and the curing of any then defaults. Lessee will provide Lessor any further documents and information Lessor may request in connection with this lease. This lease binds the parties and their successors and assigns and constitutes the entire agreement between the parties respecting the vehicles. Any amendment must be in writing signed by the party to be bound. Any unenforceable provision shall be deemed deleted without affecting the remainder of the lease. This lease will be governed by Florida law. Paragraph headings are for convenience only. Time is of the essence of this lease. The parties waive any right to a jury trial in any related action. Any waiver must be in writing.

18. Bank-Qualified Tax Designation. Initial box if this paragraph applies. Lessee certifies that Lessee and any subordinate entities does not expect to, and will not issue more than $10,000,000 of obligations the interest on which is excludable from the gross income of the holder thereof for federal income tax purposes during any calendar year in which a vehicle is accepted under this lease. Lessee will designate the obligations undertaken pursuant to this lease with respect to all vehicles covered hereby as “qualified tax exempt obligations” within the meaning of §265 (b)(3)(D) of the Code. Lessee agrees to take all actions required of Lessee for Lessor to have, and not to take any action which would preclude Lessee from having, available such treatment, including, without limitation, filing of an IRS Form 8038-G. If Lessor (a) loses the right to claim, does not have or does not claim (based upon the advice of the Lessor’s tax counsel) such exclusion of interest or deductibility or (b) if there is disallowed, deferred or recaptured, in whole or in part, any such tax free interest or deductibility for any reason (unless due solely to Lessor’s failure to claim the tax free interest or deductibility on a timely basis in the absence of such advice) or (c) there is after the date hereof any change in federal, state, local or foreign tax law or tax rates which Lessor calculates has the direct effect of reducing Lessor’s net after tax return respecting this lease (any of the foregoing constituting a “Loss”),then Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on demand, an after tax amount which after payment of alltaxes, interest and penalties required to be paid by Lessor, restores Lessor to the same net after tax position Lessor would have enjoyed had such Loss not occurred. Upon Lessor’s being notified by any tax authority of a potential Loss, Lessor will notify Lessee promptly thereof. Lessor agrees to exercise in good faith Lessor’s best efforts, as determined in the sole discretion of Lessor’s tax counsel to be reasonable for Lessor, to avoid Lessee’s payment of such additional amounts; provided that Lessor has sole discretion as to proceeding beyond the level of an auditing agent; and Lessor shall not take any action unless Lessee shall indemnify Lessor in advance for all costs and expenses to be incurred, including accountants’ and attorneys’ fees.

ITEM # 15

CITY OF MONTEBELLO

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: APPROVE AGREEMENT NO. 4615 WITH THE LOS ANGELES

COMMUNITY GARDEN COUNCIL FOR MANAGEMENT OF THE CHET

HOLIFIELD PARK COMMUNITY GARDEN
DATE: August 26, 2026
RECOMMENDATIONS:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Approve Agreement No. 4615 with the Los Angeles Community Garden Council (“LACGC”) for a three-year term to manage and operate the community garden at Chet Holifield Park; and

2. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Under the proposed Agreement, the Los Angeles Community Garden Council ("LACGC") will assist the City with the management and operation of the community garden located at Chet Holifield Park. The cost for garden management services during the first year of the three-year term is $28,100 with each subsequent year’s annual cost being $27,300, for a total three-year not to exceed cost of $82,700. The Agreement (Attachment A) will be administered by the Recreation and Community Services Department, and funding for the contract will be charged to the Measure A Maintenance and Servicing (M&S) Fund (Fund 221).

Measure A funding is allocated annually to Los Angeles County Study Areas for eligible park improvement projects and programs. M&S Funds are made available for cities to help maintain and operate Measure A Funded projects. The Fiscal Year 2026-27 adopted budget includes appropriations in the Measure A M&S account, therefore the recommended actions do not require a budget amendment.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2026

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

LACGC is a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening communities by developing and supporting community gardens that provide Los Angeles County residents with opportunities to grow healthy food in their neighborhoods. LACGC currently manages 42 community gardens and provides technical assistance, workshops, and community organizing support to more than 125 community gardens throughout Los Angeles County.

The Chet Holifield Park Community Garden is currently in the final stages of construction and is anticipated to open in Fall 2026. Chet Holifield Park was selected as the project location after challenges arose with developing the community garden at the originally proposed Grant Rea Park site. The new garden will transform an underutilized area of Chet Holifield Park into an active community space that supports urban agriculture, education, sustainability, and neighborhood engagement.

The City’s Parks Master Plan identified community gardens as an amenity in which the City has a service deficiency and recognized the development of a community garden as an opportunity to provide educational programming, promote urban agriculture, and support sustainable communities.

As part of the community outreach conducted during development of the Parks Master Plan, the City made several surveys available to the public to gather input regarding future park amenities and programs. Through these outreach efforts, community members expressed interest in establishing a community garden in Montebello.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

N/A
ANALYSIS:

Under the proposed Agreement (Attachment A), LACGC will be responsible for the dayto-day management and operation of the Chet Holifield Park Community Garden.

Responsibilities will include developing operational guidelines and garden rules; establishing volunteer roles; identifying a master gardener; accepting and reviewing applications; assigning garden plots; collecting applicable plot rental fees and membership dues; assisting garden members; and facilitating educational workshops for the public. LACGC will establish applicable plot rental fees and membership dues and administer the process for assigning garden plots, which will be made available to Montebello residents.

Partnering with LACGC will provide the City with an experienced community garden operator capable of managing the administrative and operational responsibilities associated with the new facility. The partnership will also help ensure that the garden is operated in an organized and sustainable manner while providing residents with opportunities to grow fresh produce, participate in educational programming, engage in

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 26, 2026

urban agriculture, and connect with other members of the community.

The Chet Holifield Park Community Garden will expand the recreational and educational amenities available to Montebello residents while activating underutilized park space and advancing goals identified through the Parks Master Plan and associated community outreach.

SUMMARY:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve Agreement No. 4615 (Attachment A) with the Los Angeles Community Garden Council (“LACGC”) for a three-year term to manage and operate the community garden at Chet Holifield Park. The proposed partnership will provide professional oversight of the garden and support the City’s efforts to promote healthy lifestyles, urban agriculture, sustainability, educational opportunities, and community engagement.

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

Arnold M. Alvarez-Glasman, City Attorney
EXHIBITS:
• Exhibit A – Scope of Work
• Exhibit B – Schedule of Compensation

EXHIBIT A
Scope of Work
The Los Angeles Community Garden Council ("LACGC" or "CONSULTANT") will assist the City of Montebello ("CITY") in transitioning the new community garden at Chet Holfield Park from construction to a resident-led, self-sustaining garden community. The garden is anticipated to reach substantial completion and open for a soft launch in September 2026. The CONSULTANT's scope below begins at community outreach and continues through ongoing garden management and local leadership development.

This Scope of Work is organized into two phases in Year 1, reflecting the shift from pre-opening outreach to post-opening management, followed by two additional years of ongoing garden management and leadership development, consistent with the three-year term (plus available extensions) contemplated by this Agreement. Services are performed by two roles: a Community Organizer, who carries out day-to-day outreach and garden management, and the CONSULTANT's Executive Director, who provides contract oversight, strategic direction, and the primary relationship with the CITY.

YEAR 1, PHASE 1: Pre-Opening Community Outreach & Culture-Setting (Prior to soft launch)
● Community outreach to residents in the surrounding area to build awareness of the new garden and generate interest ahead of the September soft launch ● Recruitment of an initial cohort of plot-holding members, with particular attention to language accessibility for the surrounding community
● Identification, recruitment, and initial coaching of volunteer garden leadership (e.g., garden captains/committee members) to steward the site going forward ● Facilitation of a series of community meetings to co-develop garden rules, plot allocation process, and shared culture and norms with prospective members, consistent with LACGC's broader model across its network of gardens
● Development of garden-specific onboarding materials (rules, plot agreements, code of conduct), adapted from LACGC's existing knowledge library and available in relevant languages ● Coordination with CITY staff on plot assignment process, waitlist procedures, and soft launch logistics
YEAR 1, PHASE 2: Soft Launch & Initial Garden Management (September 2026 through end of Year 1)
● On-site presence at the garden's soft launch and the weeks following to support new members in establishing plots
● Ongoing new member intake, orientation, and plot assignment ● Support to volunteer garden leadership in running initial member meetings and beginning to self-govern under the culture and rules established in Phase 1 ● Light-touch conflict support and troubleshooting as new members establish shared norms in practice

● Collection of member plot dues and coordination with LACGC's Partner Garden administrative systems
● Regular check-ins with CITY staff on garden condition and community feedback YEAR 2 AND YEAR 3: Ongoing Garden Management & Leadership Development ● Continued support to volunteer garden leadership, with a focus on increasing local self-governance and reducing reliance on LACGC staff over time ● New member intake, orientation, and waitlist management as plots turn over ● Facilitation of periodic community meetings and, as needed, conflict resolution support ● Coordination of workshops and connection to LACGC's broader network and online learning resources
● Collection of member plot dues and routine reporting to the CITY ● Ongoing coordination with CITY staff on garden condition, water and insurance matters administered by the CITY, and community feedback
Across all three years, the CONSULTANT's Executive Director provides ongoing contract oversight, strategic guidance to the Community Organizer, and serves as the primary point of accountability to the CITY, consistent with the Compensation schedule in Exhibit B.

Costs of water service and general liability/property insurance for the garden are borne directly by the CITY and are not included in the CONSULTANT's Compensation under this Agreement. Similarly, the CITY's compensation to the CONSULTANT for the services above is inclusive of the CONSULTANT's administrative and organizational overhead associated with this Agreement; no separate member dues are required to fund that overhead.

EXHIBIT - CITY OF MONTEBELLO FORECASTED AGENDA
Please note, the attached exhibit is a draft version that is to be used for reference purposes only; agenda items, information, and dates are subject to change. The exhibit will be placed at the end of the Agenda Packet. • CITY OF MONTEBELLO FORECASTED AGENDA

An urgency ordinances is only allowable where it:
contains legislative findings that there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, and that the approval of additional subdivisions, use permits, variances, building permits, or any other applicable entitlement for use which is required in order to comply with a zoning ordinance would result in that threat to public health, safety, or welfare. In addition, any interim ordinance adopted pursuant to this section that has the effect of denying approvals needed for the development of projects with a significant component of multifamily housing may not be extended except upon written findings adopted by the legislative body, supported by substantial evidence on the record… CA Gov Code § 65858(c), emphasis added.

The urgency findings contained in the draft ordinances are so sparse and without evidence as to be utterly meaningless. The threat is unnamed, uncertain, and inappropriate to justify obstruction of a state housing law addressing the statewide housing crisis. A temporary change in permitting for a specific plan area is no emergency, and no local or state law is referenced that could justify this measure.

The draft ordinance identifies no specific threat to the public peace, health, or safety for a reason: there is none. It’s pure speculation to say that historic resources will be impacted at all. Speculating that a project might use SB 79 does not present an immediate threat sufficient to authorize an emergency ordinance, according to state law and Montebello’s own regulations. Notably if there were actually projects in process, the law grants stricter protections against denying them. Because the draft urgency ordinances would pre-emptively deny all such projects within the affected areas, the protections are likely triggered automatically.

California Courts have already weighed against this kind of blatant obstruction. The findings for urgency ordinances, especially where they would preclude multifamily housing, must cite “specific significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact upon the public health or safety that would result from continued development approvals, and objective, written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions on which that impact is based”. Hoffman St., LLC v. City of W. Hollywood, 179 Cal. App. 4th 754, 771 (2009) (internal citations omitted). Specifically for the Hoffman case, a blatant finding that affordable housing created a current and immediate threat was rightly dismissed as insufficient justification for an urgency ordinance. The prospect of slightly

less wealthy people being able to afford living in Montebello is not the threat you think it is. At least not as far as the law is concerned.

SB 79’s passage followed a string of reforms at the state level to address a systemic, ongoing shortage of housing across the state. YIMBY Law has sued to enforce many of those reforms, and remains very well prepared to continue that work. Any section of the alternatives before you which institute urgency ordinances without substantial evidence to the immediacy they speak to must be discarded. We urge you to follow the law and adopt an alternative plan or allow SB 79 to come into effect as intended, within the City.

Sincerely,
Sonja Trauss
Executive Director
YIMBY Law

statement of the nature of the urgency finds proper place to support the declaration.” Ex parte Hoffman (1909) 155 Cal. 114, 120.

SB 79 was signed into law in October 2025, giving the City almost nine months before its effective date of July 1, 2026 to enact an ordinance preserving the public health and safety of its residents. This was ample time; had there been an immediate and urgent threat to the public health and safety of residents, the City would have enacted an ordinance more quickly.

The City cites the following supposed impacts of SB 79:
(a) Establish development patterns inconsistent with the pending TOD Specific Plan; (b) Create vested rights that could impair the City's ability to adopt and implement corridor-wide planning policies;
(c) Result in piecemeal development that frustrates comprehensive transit-oriented planning objectives;
(d) Consume available transportation, utility, public safety, and infrastructure capacity before completion of corridor-wide analyses;
(e) Undermine the City's ability to adopt objective design standards, development standards, and implementation measures currently under preparation; (f) Interfere with the City's ability to coordinate future public infrastructure investments;
(g) Result in environmental impacts that are presently being evaluated through ongoing planning and environmental review efforts;
(h) Impair future affordable housing, mobility, economic development, and public benefit programs contemplated by the TOD Specific Plan; and (i) Cause substantial prejudice to the City's ongoing legislative planning process; and (j) Result in economic waste and inefficiencies by undermining ongoing TOD Specific Plan planning and environmental review.

None of these issues threaten the public health, safety, and welfare. On the contrary, SB 79 will advance a number of public policy goals of the State of California. See the below legislative findings and declarations from SB 79 (Gov. Code, § 65912.155):

The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) California faces a housing shortage both acute and chronic, particularly in areas with access to robust public transit infrastructure.
(b) Creating ownership opportunities can be an effective long-term strategy for building wealth and can create a path to financial security. (c) Building more homes near transit access reduces housing and transportation costs for California families, and promotes environmental sustainability, economic growth, and reduced traffic congestion.

(d) Public transit systems require sustainable funding to provide reliable service, especially in areas experiencing increased density and ridership. The state does not invest in public transit service to the same degree as it does in roads, and the state funds a smaller proportion of the state’s major transit agencies’ operations costs than other states with comparable systems. Transit systems in other countries derive significant revenue from transit-oriented development at and near their stations.

Additionally, we would like to draw the City’s attention to the attached July 17, 2023 letter from the California Attorney General regarding the use of urgency ordinances in response to state housing laws. The letter reiterates the requirements from statute and caselaw that the legislative findings must establish a threat to the public health, safety, or welfare that is current and immediate; local jurisdictions must provide evidence documenting the immediacy of the threat to public health, safety, or welfare; and local jurisdictions must make these findings with enough specificity to support an adverse impact. In other words, there is a high bar for the use of urgency ordinances. The letter states specifically that urgency ordinances “must comply with the substantive requirements of state housing laws and cannot be used in an attempt to circumvent substantive legal requirements.” Given the extremely thin findings and complete lack of evidence that the City has presented to justify these urgency ordinances, it is clear that the City has not met the requirements discussed in the Attorney General’s letter.

The City therefore may not use urgency ordinances to adopt an SB 79 implementation ordinance.

The City’s Use of an Interim Ordinance is Unlawful
In addition to adopting its SB 79 ordinance as an urgency ordinance, the City is adopting it as an interim ordinance pursuant to Government Code section 65858 in order to take illegal shortcuts in adopting this ordinance. Section 65858, subdivision (a) provides:

Without following the procedures otherwise required prior to the adoption of a zoning ordinance, the legislative body of a county, city, including a charter city, or city and county, to protect the public safety, health, and welfare, may adopt as an urgency measure an interim ordinance prohibiting any uses that may be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the legislative body, planning commission or the planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time …
As discussed supra, just as SB 79 poses no risk to “public peace, health, or safety” it also poses no risk to “public safety, health, and welfare.” In fact, as discussed supra, the Legislature has found the contrary to be true. (See Gov. Code, § 65912.155.)

The City may therefore not use an interim ordinance to establish a moratorium on development pursuant to SB 79.

Of note, the City is fully empowered to implement an alternative plan pursuant to Government Code section 65912.161, subdivision (a), and it had nine months to do so prior to the effective date of July 1, 2026. The City’s failure to complete an alternative plan in this timeframe does not constitute justification for an interim ordinance to opt out of a state law.

The City Must Receive Approval from the State for A Moratorium Government Code section 66300, subdivision (b)(1)(B) prohibits the City from “Imposing a moratorium or similar restriction or limitation on housing development, including mixed-use development, within all or a portion …” of the city without approval from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Furthermore, SB 79 separately requires the City to submit any ordinance implementing SB 79 to HCD for review. (Gov. Code, § 65912.160, subd. (d).) The City has not done this.

Enacting a moratorium on SB 79 projects without approval from HCD is illegal. The City must seek approval from HCD prior to enforcement of this moratorium.

The City May Not Opt Out of State Law
State law preempts local law. (Cal. Const., art. XI, § 7.) This is a foundational constitutional principle, and it is no less true in the land use context than anywhere else. As a corollary to this principle, local governments “cannot choose to forgo application of land use policies imposed by the Legislature.” (Ailanto Properties v. City of Half Moon Bay (2006) 142 Cal.App.4th 572, 595.) The City’s proposed moratorium, however, attempts to do exactly that:
it states, in effect, that state land use laws do not apply so long as the City chooses to opt out of them. The proposed moratorium’s purpose is to “forgo application of land use policies imposed by the Legislature,” as caselaw and the California constitution forbid. (Ibid.) Of note, in SB 79 the Legislature has prescribed very specific criteria for how a City may temporarily exclude parcels from the effect of the law (Gov. Code, § 65912.161, subd. (b)) and also how a City may tailor the application of SB 79 to its local context. (Id. at subd. (a).) Regardless of these provisions, SB 79 specifies that the law becomes effective on July 1, 2026 (Gov. Code, § 65912.157, subd. (n).)
If the Legislature had intended to allow a general moratorium on SB 79 projects, then it would have allowed such a moratorium in SB 79. As the law is written, the very specific provisions of SB 79 prevail over the generalized provisions of Government Code section 65858 pursuant to lex specialis derogat legi generali. Furthermore, Government Code section 65858 does not authorize a local agency to disregard other state law.

The City’s Proposal is Ineligible for the Cited CEQA Exemptions The City is proposing to exempt its moratorium from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) and 15308 (Environmental Protection).

However, the proposed moratorium is not eligible for either exemption. This is because impeding the development of housing near transit will, in fact, have a significant impact on the environment.

Multifamily development near transit has dramatically lower carbon dioxide emissions on a per unit basis than greenfield single-family development, both in terms of energy usage and tailpipe emissions. A discretionary government action undertaken to thwart such development will undoubtedly contribute to increased carbon emissions and environmental degradation. This action will also exacerbate homelessness as the market is prohibited from producing adequate multifamily housing stock. In other words, the proposed moratorium will damage, not protect, the environment.

The Legislature made a policy judgement that compliance with the provisions of section 65912.157 were to be exempt from CEQA. (Gov. Code, § 65912.161, subd. (c)(2).) It made no such judgement that an attempt to evade the provisions of section 65912.157 were to be equally exempt from CEQA.

The City therefore may not use the proposed CEQA exemptions and it must otherwise comply with the provisions of CEQA.

The City Retains the Power to Prevent Health & Safety Impacts The Housing Accountability Act (HAA) (Gov. Code, § 65589.5) allows the City to deny a proposed housing development project if it “would have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety.” (Id. at subds. (d), (j).) As multifamily housing development projects, SB 79 projects are subject to the HAA. If a situation ever arose that presented a true threat to public health and safety as defined by the HAA, the City could use the power of that statute to lawfully deny a proposed development. Given the backstop provided by the HAA, there is no justification for the City to use an interim/urgency ordinance based on supposed health and safety impacts.
⧫ ⧫ ⧫
For these reasons, we urge the Council to reject the proposed moratorium.

Sincerely,

Matthew Gelfand Dylan Casey
