SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NOS. 25-33 AND 25-34 – ADOPTING CASH HANDLING AND CAPITALIZATION POLICIES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025/26
Background:
Annually, the Finance department presents to City Council, for consideration and approval, updates to routine policies as part of ongoing efforts to enhance fiscal responsibility, improve transparency and ensure alignment with best practices as well as compliance with municipal code, state and federal requirements.
To ensure policies are updated accordingly, staff are proposing changes to two existing policies, which are:
Cash Handling Policy
Capitalization Policy
Cash Handling Policy
As part of the City’s commitment to provide excellent customer service, and by extension the Finance Department’s responsibility to protect public funds, the cash handling policy was developed and adopted in 2019 to establish the proper and effective internal procedures over cash handling across the various departments who intake payments as part of day-to-day operations.
Since the adoption of the policy, staff have been limited to a maximum intake of $5,000 per transaction when payment is received via credit or debit card. This limitation was implemented to minimize the impact of the bank credit card processing fees the City would be required to pay on large transactions. However, on April 1, 2025, the City Council adopted an updated fee
City Council August 5, 2025
Fiscal Year 2025/26 Financial Policy Updates Page No. 2 1 4
6 6
schedule to take effect July 1, 2025, which includes a 3% credit card processing fee that will be passed through to the payor and no longer paid by the City.
To minimize the disruption imposed by the existing transaction limitation and allow for a seamless transition to incorporating the credit card processing fee, an update to the Cash Handling Policy is required to remove transaction limits for payments accepted by the City.
Exhibit A to Resolution No. 25-33 includes the updated policy removing the credit card transaction limit.
Capitalization Policy (Fixed Assets)
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) is responsible for setting accounting and financial reporting standards for U.S. State and local governments that follow generally accepted accounting procedures (“GAAP”). One of these standards includes the method in which governments account for fixed assets, also known as GASB Statement 34 which sets the reporting requirements of capitalization thresholds, depreciation, disposal of assets and criteria.
In 2003 when GASB statement 34 was established, the minimum capital asset threshold for capital purchases was set to $5,000 and the Fixed Asset Policy was developed in accordance with the standards set forth. Since then, various external factors have influenced the cost of capital outlay purchases, primarily inflation. In an effort to update the Fixed Asset Policy to account for these changes, as well as remain in compliance with GASB requirements, an update to the policy is needed. Included as Exhibit A to Resolution No. 25-34 is an updated Fixed Asset Policy the includes the following changes:
Raising the capitalization threshold from $5,000 to $10,000 in a manner consistent with GASB requirements and best practices.
Incorporate additional capital outlay expenditure types. Removal of obsolete language.
All policies proposed for adoption will become effective following approval by the City Council.

2 CITY OF NORWALK POLICY STATEMENT
Number: 25-02
Subject: Cash Handling Policy and Procedures
Adopted Date: August 5, 2025
Effective Date: August 5, 2025
POLICY STATEMENT
It is the Policy of the City of Norwalk to protect public funds through the establishment of proper and effective internal procedures over cash handling.
DEFINITIONS
Cash handling includes collection, receipting, safeguarding, posting/recording, and banking.
GENERAL CONCEPTS AND FRAMEWORK
This Policy addresses the essential principles and standards of proper cash handling. In light of the great diversity of revenue types and cash collection points, this Policy cannot provide specific guidance covering all aspects of proper cash handling. As a result, each Department may develop its own specific rules and procedures to supplement this Policy to provide greater guidance over daily cash handling, receipting, reconciliation, and accountability, provided that such rules and procedures are first approved by the Finance Director prior to implementation. Cash, when mishandled, can be lost, stolen, and cause cash flow problems for the organization.
Proper procedures can also help protect employees from inappropriate charges of mishandling public funds by defining his or her roles and responsibilities in the cash handling process.
Once adopted, current and historical practices shall not constitute justification for deviation from this Policy. Information contained in this Policy supersedes any previous policies and procedures regarding cash handling.
Exhibit A

The Finance Director is authorized to make necessary interpretations and exceptions to the rules and guidelines contained in this Policy.
FINANCE DIRECTOR CERTIFICATION
Each cash collection area must be approved and certified by the Finance Director as a cash collection point. A cash collection point is generally a location in which cash is collected on a regular basis. A location with casual (infrequent) cash collections may not be recognized as a cash collection point; however, the responsible employee must nonetheless follow the same Cash Handling Policy that applies to each cash collection point. Casual collections include infrequent receipts of donations to the City and nonrecurring and low volume of fees and sales of items. Examples of cash collection points include:
Community Development (Planning, Engineering, and Building & Safety) Finance
Recreation
Norwalk Sports Complex
Aquatic Pavilion
Social Services
Senior Center
Transit
TRAINING, CROSS-TRAINING AND STAFFING
The Department Head will staff each cash collection area with at least two employees who are fully trained in cash handling and, if required, related data 4 4
2 8
2 entries into the City’s Revenue Management System and other essential data management systems like the Utility Billing; Encompass used for Business Licensing, Planning and Building Permitting; Active Net for recreation programs and cash registers.
This will help strengthen the City’s cash collection process by minimizing the effects of extraordinary and unforeseeable problems.
oFinance will provide an initial training to the cash handlers at each cash collection point when requested by the Department Head. Finance will continue to assist with training based on its staff availability and the critical nature of the training.
However, whether such training is provided or not, each Department is ultimately responsible for the training, cross-training, staffing, and assessing the qualifications and competency of its own cash handlers. Within two weeks of adopting this Policy and July 1 st of each year thereafter, each Department Head shall submit a list signed by him or her to Finance detailing the names of fully trained cash handlers with their specific duties and other pertinent information for each cash collection point.
CASH RECEIPTS
Whenever cash is collected, a cash handler must issue a preprinted, pre- numbered original Cash Receipt generated by cash register or pre-numbered original cash receipt (printed from the City’s printing company in duplicate or triplicate) and in numerical sequence. If a cash receipt was voided, it must be submitted to Finance with the daily deposit and explanation for voiding the cash receipt.
The Finance Director is responsible for the format and content of all Cash Receipt Forms and related reconciliation and supporting logs, schedules, and sheets. As a result, all new and revised forms, logs, schedules, and sheets must first be approved by the Finance Director prior to their use.
SAFEGUARDING OF CASH, CASH RECEIPTS, AND KEYS
Each cash handler must safeguard his or her cash, Cash Receipts and related supporting documentation at all times.
This will require the cash handler to place cash and related items in a locked cash box in a locked drawer.
Cash must not be left unattended, even for a brief moment. Each cash handler must carry his or her keys with him or her at all times. The keys must not be left out in the open or placed in an unlocked drawer or area. In addition, the keys must not be shared with others.
Any transfer of petty cash must be authorized by the department head in writing prior to the transfer by using the form entitled “Request for a Petty Cash or Change Fund.”

CASH HANDLING PROCESS
Receiving Payment, Counting Cash, and Giving Change
There is a number of ways of counting cash, but the main objective when counting is to ensure accuracy in receiving cash and giving out proper change to the customer.
Recommended below is the “Hand-to-Table” method of counting to ensure that no bills and coins are miscounted and the customer acknowledges correct payment and change (if applicable) from City’s staff.
The “Hand-to-Table” method instruction for counting cash is provided. One may deviate from this method but whichever method is used to count, recount the money as many times as necessary to come up with the same total twice. This means you will always count a stack of currency at least two times. Cash Handlers should also establish a set routine for counting money.
8 4
2 8
2 Hand-to-Table Method:
1) Receiving Bills and Coins:
A. Separate bills into denominations with all the bills facing up. At this time, pay special attention to $20, $50, and $100 bills for counterfeits.
B. If the pile contains more than one denomination, count the largest denomination first.
C. Place the pile in one hand.
D. Transfer one bill at a time from your hand to the table in the presence of the customer.
E. Check each bill, as you count to ensure correct denomination.
F. Count all coins received.
G. Verify the grand total against the amount listed on the billing statement, invoice, or Cash Receipt.
H. If any discrepancies exist, count the money again. If a discrepancy still exists, ask the customer to count the money.
2) Making Change:
To ensure the accuracy of all transactions, it is important that the cash handler follows a routine, accepted practice in making change. There are two ways to give change back to a customer.
The cash register automatically calculates the dollar amount to be returned to the customer, or
The cash handler counts from the amount of the sale to the amount tendered.
Change should be counted at least two times; once when the cash handler counts it out of the cash drawer and a second time when the cash handler counts it back to the customer.
Cash Handler must always give the customer a receipt and put the amount received in the cash drawer and close the drawer.
9 4
2 8
2 All the larger bills ($50 and $100) should be checked with Smart Money counterfeit detector pen or cash scan machine. If the cash handler suspects, or determines that a customer is attempting to pass counterfeit currency or raised notes, she or he should politely ask the customer for another bill or alternative payment method (check, credit card). Try not to accept it, but if customer insists on using the currency, accept it. Always assume there is a weapon even if one is not seen. Observe the person but don’t stare.
Try to remember the distinctive features of the individual. You will be asked to describe the person. The objective is to catch the criminal, not to stop the crime – promptly notify Public Safety or Sheriff’s Department, and the supervisor. b. Checks.
1) Checks must be made payable to the “City of Norwalk.” 2) Checks cannot be stale or post-dated.
3) If not listed, write down the payer’s telephone number on the face of the check.
4) Verify that the numeric dollar amount matches the written dollar amount. 5) Verify the signature.
6) The signature and preprinted information on the face of the “personal” check must be verified against the information from any one of the following valid forms of photo ID:
California Driver’s License
California State ID Card
Military ID Card
U.S. Passport
In the case of a “business” check, obtain a business card and match the information against the photo ID and the check. The business card should be stapled to the Finance Revenue Folder Copy of the Cash Receipt. In certain situations where businesses purchase small items to conduct business with the City (e.g., businesses purchasing copies of RFPs, Plans & Specs, etc.), a business check may be accepted without any forms of ID.
For legal and administrative reasons, write down the valid photo ID number on the Cash Receipt, but not on the check.
7) PAYMENTS FOR TAXES, NON-PURCHASES AND NO OUTSTANDING OBLIGATIONS TO PERFORM SERVICES BY THE CITY. When accepting taxes and other payments (e.g., parking fines) where there are no related exchanges of City goods or services, and when accepting fees, charges, 10 4
2 8
2 and other payments where goods or services had already been delivered, checks may be accepted without any ID.
8) All checks must be endorsed immediately with a restrictive endorsement payable to the City of Norwalk. A restrictive endorsement occurs when the following text is placed on the back of the check: "For Deposit Only to the City of Norwalk." This is generally done with the City’s bank deposit stamp or through the Receipt Manager System.
9) If a check is for a single item, then on the memo line of the check write down a brief description including the account number (e.g., B/L #00000 for business license, PC #00000 for parking citation, DL #00000 for dog license, etc.) If a check is for multiple items, write down the City’s receipt number instead (e.g. F100000).
10)Do not accept a double-endorsed check, which is a check made payable to someone else, who then signs it over to the City as his or her payment for a purchase.
11)Look for apparent alterations in the check (e.g., changes in the handwriting, water spots, color or background picture), which could mean a forgery. 12)Do not accept Starter checks with blank personal information. 13)Store all checks must be stored in a safe place (locked cash box in a locked drawer) with related supporting documents until they are submitted to Finance.
14)Cashing of any checks is not permitted.
15)The individual accepting the check is required to initial on the upper-left hand corner of the face of the check to ascertain his or her verification of the required information.
c. Checks Defined.
1) Out-of-State Checks – Out-of-state business checks will be accepted; however, out-of-state personal checks will not.
3) Cashier’s Checks – Will be accepted. This is a check drawn by a bank on its own funds. Counterfeits and the failure of the issuing bank would cause the bank not to honor such checks.
4) Personal Money Orders – Will be accepted. A personal Money Order is a check purchased by a customer from a bank or any other institution for cash. When issued, it shows the drawee bank and the amount. The purchaser fills in the date, the payer, and the payee’s name and address. 11 4
2 8
2 Banks usually restrict the maximum amount for which they will issue a money order. This amount is usually printed on the face of the Money Order. The risk is similar to the Cashier’s Checks.
5) Traveler’s Checks – Will be accepted. These checks are designed for use by persons on business or vacation, but are also used in other situations.
They are signed on the face of the check when purchased and countersigned when cashed, either on the face or on the back. When accepting a Traveler’s check at a City facility, the customer must provide appropriate identification, countersign and write in the payee in the presence of the cashier. Traveler’s checks should be stamped with the endorsement and placed with the other checks. The risk is similar to the Cashier’s Checks.
The City will not accept Traveler’s checks drawn on foreign currency. d. Credit and Debit Cards.
1) The City currently accepts American Express, MasterCard, Visa, and Debit Cards with the MasterCard or Visa logo provided that they are presented in person. Other cards with higher bank fees (processing and discount) may be accepted in the future.
2) All credit cards accepted must be verified against the information from any one of the following valid forms of photo ID:
California Driver’s License
California State ID Card
Military ID Card
U.S. Passport
6) Verify that the back of the credit card is signed and the signature matches with the signature on the credit card receipt.
7) Verify that the signature on the receipt also matches with the signature on the photo ID.
8) Make sure that approval from the issuing credit card company is granted at the time the card is used.
9) In Revenue Manager System or on receipt referenced last four digits of the credit card and customer, license, permit, ticket or reservation numbers as applicable.
12 4
2 8
2 10)The original credit card receipt must be attached to the applicable source documents (e.g., business license application, Cash Receipt, refundable deposit receipt, etc.). The duplicate copy is given to the customer along with the completely filled-out pre-numbered Cash Receipt form. 11)Credit card transactions must only be used to pay for City services and products. Cash advances are not permitted for any purpose. 12)Credit card and debit card account numbers are confidential as they can be subject to fraudulent usage. Account numbers must never been written down, if a card must be processed manually, enter the card information directly into the credit card machine. Documents containing the numbers must only be handled by authorized employees (e.g., responsible cash handlers, immediate supervisors, department heads, etc.) and properly safeguarded.
13)At the end of the day, a “batch” report (the summary tape) from the credit card terminal listing the day’s credit card charges must be submitted to Finance to reconcile the day’s credit card receipts posted in the City’s revenue management system.
e. Issuing Cash Receipts.
The City uses a variety of Cash Receipts to issue to customers to evidence their payments for City services and products. 1) When the payment is received in person, a receipt must be given to the customer. This, however, is not true if the payment is received for another processing entity other than the City of Norwalk.
2) Each Cash Receipt must be generated by the cashiering system or, in emergency cases in pre-numbered sequence. It must be completed properly and in full, containing all relevant information to the transaction (e.g., date, customer information, service or product, amount or revenue code, check number, credit card authorization number, large bill serial number, etc.).
3) The person preparing the Cash Receipt must use his/her name or initials and verify that the total from the receipt equals to the total cash tendered. 4) The City’s standard receipts (receipts not generated by Revenue Management Systems) will be “triplicates” distributed as follows:
Original – Payee
One copy – Daily Cash Receipt Folder
13 4
2 8
2 One copy – Originating Department
f. Safeguarding of Blank Cash Receipt Forms.
1) Cash Receipts are used as proof of payment for City services and products.
A loss of a blank Cash Receipt form may lead to a false claim of payment to the City. In addition, a missing Cash Receipt may be construed as a misplacement or theft of public funds by the custodian of the form.
Therefore, it is essential that all custodians and cash handlers, whether temporary or permanent, properly safeguard their assigned blank Cash Receipt forms.
2) The proper management of blank Cash Receipt forms generally requires Finance to inventory, order, distribute, and track Cash Receipt forms.
Through this process, Finance expects to minimize and timely discover errors, discrepancies, and misuse.
3) All custodians and cash handlers are fully accountable for their assigned Cash Receipts. To properly account for the Cash Receipts, the custodians and cash handlers must maintain a Cash Receipts log to keep track of both used and unused Cash Receipts (See Exhibit VI for an example of a Cash Receipts Tracking Log). All Cash Receipts must be used in pre-numbered sequence. The custodians and cash handler must provide a copy of the Cash Receipts log to the Finance Department when a new batch of Cash Receipts is requested.
4) Voided Receipts – All pre-numbered receipts must be accounted for. As a result, all voided receipts, in their original form including carbon copies, must be submitted to Finance for independent audit purposes. 5) Parks and Recreation Department. As the Parks and Recreation Department has various cash collection points throughout the City, the responsibility of ordering, stocking, distributing, and safeguarding Cash Receipts Forms will be assigned to the Director of Parks and Recreation, or his designee.
g. Cash Boxes and Drawers.
Only one cash handler will be assigned to a lockable cash box and lockable cash box drawer. The drawer may be a counter drawer, desk drawer, filing cabinet, safe, or any other secure holding place. Each custodian or cash handler must keep his/her keys and combinations safe and must not share them with anyone.
Cash Handler has the custodial responsibility. Finance will safeguard backup keys and combinations for emergency access. All cash, checks, and other types of payments must be safeguarded until they are deposited in the City’s bank account. 14 4
2 8
2 h. Closing Activity
At shift closing each cash handler must balance his or her cash drawer. This process is referred to as “Balancing” – the accounting and documentation of all City funds received by the cash handler that day. Balancing involves:
Adding of currency, coin, credit/debit card drafts and checks Determining the dollar total received from the Permanent Record, subtracting the Beginning change cash amount, and
Comparing the total money with the total transactions. These two amounts should be the same.
Balancing should occur out of public view in a location away from the collection area to protect the safety of the cash handler. While individual cash handlers have different methods for balancing cash drawers, there are several steps that all balancing processes should include:
1) Remove all cash (currency, coin, credit/debit card drafts, and checks) from the cash drawer.
2) Count currency and coin and list the denomination on the Daily Cash Reconciliation Form (Exhibit I). Cash should be counted as many times as it takes to get the same total twice.
3) List all checks and credit/debit card drafts on either an adding machine tape or an Excel spreadsheet.
4) Finance cashiers should also list all other type of payments, e.g. Electronic Fund Transfers or amounts deposited on City’s behalf by the third party (Parking Citations collections deposited by the City of or bus fare revenues deposited to the bank by the Norwalk Transit)
5) Cash handler should then separate from the remaining cash on hand the start-up amount to bring the change fund back to the preferred mix of currency denominations as determined by cash handler’s department.
Preparing cash receipt batch deposits should be done immediately after cash drawer has been balanced. While individual cash handlers have different methods for preparing deposits there are several steps that all deposits prepared should include:
1)After all receipts have been accurately accounted for, compile groups of cash, credit card slips, and checks with corresponding tabulation tapes. Cash and credit card slips should be placed in cashiers deposit bag with tapes along with daily reports.
15 4
2 8
2 2)All cashiers will scan their own checks to be deposited directly on Wells Fargo CEO website and confirmation page for deposit will be placed in cashiers deposit bag.
3)Daily batch deposits should be complete by the end of the business day.
Batches will only be prepared for deposit if all monies are accounted for whether it is cash, credit card slips or scanned check confirmations.
Every reasonable effort should be made to locate and balance all cash differences.
Regardless of the amount of the overage/shortage, always follow these steps:
1) Recount loose coin and/or currency as appropriate to the amount of the difference.
2) Recount wrapped coin and/or currency as appropriate to the amount of the difference.
3) Check the cash handler’s beginning cash figure.
4) Rerun and recheck all figures on the permanent cash record. Compare check with permanent record specifically.
5) If a shortage exists, search the cash handler’s area, remove the cash drawer and search the space, including behind the drawer stop. 6) Examine the waste paper in the cashier’s area for cash, checks credit/debit card receipts, etc., and other paper relating to the transactions of the day. i. Losses/Shortages/Overages.
There is a difference between Loss and Shortage of City money, which is determined by the cash handler’s ability to obtain physical custody of the money and how that person safeguards the money.
A Shortage is an unintentional collection error such as a change making error. An Overage occurs when a cash handler has collected too much money and cannot immediately return the excess to a specific customer.
Cash handler must bring shortage or overage to the attention of the supervisor who needs to sign off on the shortage or overage amount. No adjustments in Revenue Management System can be made prior to the supervisor’s approval.
Loss of City money is when a cash handler has obtained physical custody of money and then due to reasons like negligence, an unlawful action, cannot deposit that money to the City Treasury.
16 4
2 8
2 All Losses have to be reported to supervisor and Finance Director immediately. Detailed statements as to the circumstances of the Loss, along with a copy of the Police Report have to be sent to Director of Finance. h. Cash Receipts Data Entry and End of Day Submission to Finance Finance reviews for the accuracy of daily cash collections from Recreation, Social Services, and Transit and posts the payments received to Receipt Manager System.
Daily collections from remote areas have to be dropped off in Finance by the Public Safety Officers daily, no later than 3:30 PM.
If collections from certain locations are not received, it is the responsibility of Finance cashier to notify appropriate responsible parties. (Department Head, Director of Finance, Director of Public Safety and Controller).
Cash Collection Points that are not using the City’s Revenue Manager System and cannot interface the data from cash register into Financial System must submit together with cash receipts, cash and supporting documentation a Daily Cash Reconciliation Form. Please see Exhibit I for a generic sample, which can be customized to departmental needs.
i. Finance Review of Cash Receipt Deposits
An Account Clerk that is not a cashier will confirm that all cash, credit card slips and check scanned confirmation pages are accurate and reconcile to totals from cashier register transaction reports. Record totals of cash, credit cards, and scanned checks on Monthly Cash Analysis spreadsheet. Only monies on hand and/or confirmation pages should be recorded on spreadsheet. If there are monies missing contact cashier or department to advise them their deposits are incomplete and must be corrected immediately. A second Account Clerk that does not have cashiering duties must verify bank cash deposit slip and scanned checks confirmation pages with total of cash and checks on daily register transaction report. The name of both Account Clerks will printed on the reconciliation worksheet and initialed when the worksheet is complete.
An Account Clerk that is not a cashier and does not reconcile the daily bank deposit will enter the batch edit list totals for each batch on the Monthly Cash Analysis spreadsheet. If there is a discrepancy between batch edit list total and the deposit total that was reconciled in item 2 (above), contact the cashier or department to advise them that their transaction totals are incorrect and remit appropriate paperwork to reconcile totals immediately. Batches will only be posted to GL when all batch edit list totals reconcile to the cashiers deposit for the day. The Account 17 4
2 8
2 Clerk should also review daily bank deposits/register transaction reports to look for any discrepancies or unusual transactions and contact the cashier if you have any questions.
An Accountant will indicate deposits in transit from the Monthly Cash Analysis spreadsheet in dark orange in order to designate what deposits need to be reconciled within the following month. When reconciliation for a new month begins all deposits in transit from prior month will be reconciled and marked with light orange along with a note indicating when the deposit was made in the bank.
Before the new month’s reconciliation is started all deposits in transit from prior month must be filtered, reconciled, and indicate the date when reconciled. j. Retention and Destruction of Cash Receipt Related Items All stored scanned checks will be retained for three months. Before destruction each check must be inspected for the stamp on the back of the check which indicates the check has been scanned and deposited. Any checks that do not have the verification stamp, will be submitted to the Accountant for further investigation. Accountant will verify through the bank that check has already been scanned and deposited.
All other cash receipt related items will be retained and destroyed as deemed appropriately by the City’s retention and destruction policy.

This policy is intended to provide specific guidance for identification, custody, capitalization and inventory of asset acquisitions.
It is the responsibility of the Finance Department to ensure fixed and inventory controlled assets will be inventoried on a regular basis and accounted for by fund and asset category.
It is the responsibility of each department to ensure that proper budgeting and purchasing guidelines are followed, and to ensure that fixed assets are adequately controlled, and safeguarded.

TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jesus M. Gomez, City Manager
BY: Alex Hamilton, Interim Director of Community Development Nancy Lee, Development Services Manager
SUBJECT: URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 25-1758U – AN AMENDMENT TO EXCLUDE
EMERGENCY SHELTERS, SINGLE-ROOM OCCUPANCY, SUPPORTIVE
HOUSING, AND TRANSITIONAL HOUSING FROM A MORATORIUM AND
EXTEND THE AMENDED MORATORIUM TO ESTABLISH, IMPLEMENT OR
OPERATE (TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY) CONVENIENCE STORES (LIQUOR STORES), DISCOUNT STORES, PERSONAL USE –
LAUNDROMATS, VEHICLE/AUTOMOBILE—WASHING, AND PAYDAY LOAN
ESTABLISHMENTS LOCATED IN THE CITY OF NORWALK FOR ONE
ADDITIONAL YEAR.
Background:
Urgency Ordinance No. 24-1752U - On August 6, 2024, City Council adopted a 45-day moratorium to establish, implement, or operate (temporarily or permanently) convenience stores (liquor stores), discount stores, personal use – laundromat, vehicle/automobile washing, payday loan establishments, emergency shelters, single-room occupancy, supportive housing, and transitional housing city-wide (“Moratorium”). Urgency Ordinance No. 24-1752U included a waiver process for those requesting to establish the listed uses during the Moratorium.
Urgency Ordinance No. 24-1753U - After a 10-day report was received and filed by City Council on September 3, 2024, the Moratorium was extended on September 17, 2024 for an additional 10 months and 15 days and is set to expire on August 5, 2025, unless extended for an additional year by City Council pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(a). A maximum of two extensions of the Moratorium is allowed under Government Section 65858(a).
City Council August 5, 2025

In accordance with Government Code Section 65858(d), prior to City Council consideration of the second (and final) extension of the Moratorium, a “10-day report” was received and filed by the City Council on July 15, 2025. The 10-day report described the measures taken to alleviate the conditions in which led to the adoption of the Moratorium (see Attachment 2).
Amendment to the Moratorium – The current Moratorium includes emergency shelters, single- room occupancy, supportive housing and transitional housing (“housing uses”) which originated due to Los Angeles County selecting 12500 Firestone Boulevard for a two-year transitional housing program without consideration of City and community interests and an exit plan at the conclusion of the housing program.
Given the poor performance of Project RoomKey in 2021, City Council directed staff to draft an Urgency Ordinance pursuant to Government Code Section 65858. Since the adoption of the Moratorium, the City and the County have had productive discussions about utilizing the former Metro State Hospital located at 11401 Bloomfield Avenue for a shelter instead of 12500 Firestone Boulevard.
However, as a result of the Moratorium on the housing uses, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) issued a Notice of Violation and Corrective Action Letter on September 16, 2024, and after discussions with City staff and HCD, HCD subsequently revoked the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element certification on October 2, 2024.
Following this action, the State of California filed a lawsuit against the City on the grounds of violation of state housing laws. A trial date for the pending litigation is scheduled for October 28, 2025. The City Attorney’s Office and the attorney from the California Attorney General’s Office have been actively engaged in on-going discussions which may bring resolution to the litigation and includes the City taking steps to amend the Moratorium to omit emergency shelters, single- room occupancy, supportive housing, and transitional housing uses. Furthermore, with the goal of the City having a compliant Housing Element, an amendment of the Moratorium to omit the above-mentioned housing related uses is necessary. There have been discussions between the City staff and HCD on the actions and steps necessary to obtain re-certification of the Housing Element by HCD in an expeditious manner. Urgency Ordinance No. 25-1758U (Attachment 1) has been prepared to exclude the housing uses.
Extension of the amended Moratorium – As a part of Ordinance No. 25-1758U, a one-year extension on the moratorium on the establishment, implementation or operation (temporarily or permanently) of convenience stores (liquor stores), discount store, personal use – laundromats, vehicle/automobile washing, and payday loan establishments has been prepared for City Council consideration.
The extension of the amended Moratorium is necessary due to the various uses and issues studied, additional time is needed for the next steps, which would be for staff to initiate a zoning code text amendment(s) that will clarify definitions of the aforementioned uses and provide additional regulations such as development, operational and performance standards.

As part of Ordinance No. 25-1758U (which has been carried over from Urgency Ordinances No. 24-1752U and 24-1753U), Section No. 8 outlines a waiver request from the Moratorium. The Moratorium waiver request can be submitted to the Department of Community Development, which may be reviewed, approved, or denied administratively or may be subject to review by the City’s Planning Commission and/or City Council, whose approval or denial shall be within their sole discretion and constitute the final administrative review of the request for waiver or exemption of the Urgency Ordinance.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, this extension is final and if adopted, will expire on August 5, 2026 or until the City Council adopts an ordinance addressing the amended uses listed in Urgency Ordinance No. 25-1758U, whichever comes first.

SUBJECT: PROJECT NO. 7184 - AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES - STREET DESIGN FOR REHABILITATION OF CARMENITA ROAD FROM ROSECRANS AVENUE TO EXCELSIOR DRIVE – ENGINEERS REPORT NO. 25-16 AND TERMINATE PROJECT NO. 7904
Background:
On August 5, 2014, City Council awarded a Professional Services Agreement to CNC Engineering to prepare plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for the rehabilitation of Carmenita Road from Rosecrans Avenue to the Interstate 5 Freeway (Project No. 7184). The scope of work included pavement analysis, survey services, Americans with Disablity Act (ADA)- compliant curb ramp and bus stop improvements, drainage evaluation, and sidewalk gap closures, with the intent of preparing the corridor for increased traffic volumes anticipated from the future completion of the Carmenita Bridge widening project by Caltrans.
Although the design was finalized by CNC Engineering, the project did not proceed to construction at the time due to budgetary constraints.
Since then, Carmenita Bridge has been completed, resulting in increased traffic volumes and heavier vehicle loads on this section of Carmenita Road. Additionally, the original PS&E package is now over a decade old and does not reflect current field conditions, updated design standards, or the increased traffic impacts observed since the bridge’s completion.

Subject: cARMeNItA ROAD ReHAbILItAtION FROM eXceLSIOR DRIVe tO ROSecRANS AVeNue, PROject NO. 7184 Thank you for the opportunity to submit our proposal for the Carmenita Road Rehabilitation Project . This project entails the pavement rehabilitation, ADA curb ramps, sidewalk improvements, utility coordination, and geotechnical investigations along Carmenita Road from Excelsior Drive to Rosecrans Avenue. We took this RFP seriously from the outset, and our approach reflects that. Rather than simply responding to the scope, we took a step back to think about what success would really look like for the City of Norwalk, and how we could help get there.
That meant starting with a understanding of the schedule, the submittal structure, and the funding constraints.
We reached out with questions, explored ways to streamline tasks, and proposed ideas to give the City more breathing room without compromising on quality. We weren’t just trying to check boxes and submit; we were trying to make sure that if we took this project on, we would be able to exceed your expectations. That is what we always aim to do at Onward Engineering .
But before we get into the team, it’s important to mention that roadway design isn’t just one of the services we provide, it is our bread and butter (over 90% of our work). We have managed the design of hundreds of miles of roadway rehabilitation projects across Southern California. In La Mirada, we’ve delivered over 26 miles of improvements through multiple phases of their Residential Street Rehabilitation Program. In the City of Diamond Bar, our work spans over 65 miles of roadway across seven consecutive years. In the City of Placentia, we’ve covered nearly 45% of the City’s roadway network. We’ve also completed street design projects in Montebello (five major street segments), Eastvale ( 3.9 million square feet of slurry seal), Downey (Areas 1, 2, and 4 totaling about 30 miles), Glendale ( 10 miles), Torrance ( 6 miles), La Habra, ( 15 miles across two phases), Alhambra, Stanton, Anaheim, Hesperia and San Bernardino ( 4 miles each), and have also contributed to major ADA improvement efforts, including 1,000 ADA ramps for the City of Long Beach and 292 ramps for the City of Rancho Cucamonga. We’ve also recently wrapped up major arterial design projects in Fountain Valley and Lynwood. Not to mention our design work for the City of Norwalk itself, as well as extensive construction management and inspection support on multiple City projects.
Our Project Manager, Chino Consunji , is someone the City of Norwalk already knows. He’s previously served as Construction Manager for Norwalk on multiple projects, and he understands your expectations inside and out. That background gives him a unique appreciation for how design decisions on paper play out in the field. As a former City Engineer and Public Works Director, he’s also attuned to the funding realities and schedule pressures that public agencies navigate every day. Supporting him is Joe Dyer , who leads our quality control efforts. Joe’s experience spans over four decades, and his thoughtful, methodical review process ensures a tight, constructible PS&E set. Ryan Dennis , our Lead Engineer, brings over 17 years of focused design experience and is highly skilled in AutoCAD Civil 3D. His ability to develop precise, well-organized construction documents within tight timelines is a key reason our projects stay on schedule and move smoothly through review. The team proposed for this work is not overcommitted elsewhere, and that was intentional. We understand that delivering on a compressed schedule requires availability, responsiveness, and clear communication, so you will get that in spades with our proposed team.
To help keep things on track, we’ll be using ClickUp to manage task assignments, schedules, and status updates.
This tool allows us to give your team direct visibility into progress, deadlines, and any open items. It also helps us keep internal reviews tight and transparent. More importantly, our communication style is straightforward, responsive, and collaborative.
We appreciate the trust the City places in its consultants, and we don’t take that lightly. If selected, we’ll bring the same level of thoughtfulness, reliability, and follow-through that you’ve seen from us before. If you have any questions, or would like any additional information, please feel free to contact me any time at (714) 533-3050, or by email at: [email protected]. Thank you again for the opportunity to be considered. We’re ready to get to work.

Chino was the Project Manager for the Arterial Street Improvement Project in the City of Fountain Valley.
This project focused on the rehabilitation of critical arterial roadways, enhancing safety and mobility for both residents and visitors. The project included Ellis Avenue from Brookhurst Street to Ward Street, approximately 2,600 linear feet; Ward Street from Apache River Avenue to Ellis Avenue, approximately 1,140 linear feet; Newhope Street from Edinger Avenue to Heil Avenue, approximately 2,600 linear feet; and Slater Avenue from Brookhurst Street to Ward Street, approximately 2,600 linear feet. In total, the project covered approximately 8,940 linear feet of roadway improvements. The scope of work featured a combination of a 3-inch grind with ARHM overlay, including a leveling course, Type II slurry, and extensive concrete improvements. These enhancements included sidewalk upgrades, ADA-compliant ramps, driveway reconstructions, and curb and gutter improvements, all designed to ensure long-lasting durability and significantly improved driving conditions on these vital thoroughfares. resideNTial sTreeTs paVeMeNT rehabiliTaTioN proJecTs-areas 1, 2, & 4, doWNey Chino was the Project Manager for the City of Downey on the Residential Streets Pavement Rehabilitation Project for Areas 1, 2, and 4. The main objective was to improve the PCI of the area residential street segments in order to extend the street service life, improve safety, minimize costs and maintenance needs, and enhance aesthetics.
In order to accurately develop a scope of work and fees for the design services, OE conducted a detailed field evaluation, a thorough review of the City’s Pavement Management Plan, and approximated the costs for the construction activities to develop a final list of residential street segments. OE was then able to determine the quantity of streets that could be incorporated into the engineering design, which rehabilitation method to use and which method could be feasibly rehabilitated while adhering to the City’s available budget, along with providing recommendations and estimates. Upon approval by the City, the team then began to prepare separate PS&E packages for areas 1, 2 and 4. The work across the three zones covered nearly 29 miles of residential streets. On a number of segments OE used straight grade between tie-in points at adjacent segments to maximized drainage slopes. A total of 164 Curb Ramps were reconstructed to meet ADA compliance along with 85 total driveways, in addition to street widening and single-sided street parking construction. Collaboration with Caltrans, LA County Flood Control District and Union Pacific Rail Road was also performed in order to acquire permit acquisitions on the segments. The work was completed on time and within budget.
