Janet Welde, Special Projects Coordinator
SUBJECT: AGREEMENT FOR BODY REPAIR AND PAINTING SERVICES FOR TRANSIT
BUSES AND HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT
Background:
The Norwalk Transit System (NTS) issued an Invitation for Bid for body repair and painting services for transit buses, city-wide heavy-duty vehicles and equipment. NTS received the following three bids via the City’s Planetbids portal: (1) ABC Bus, Inc. (ABC), (2) TEC Equipment (TEC), and (3) Advance Truck Painting, Inc. (Advance).
Staff determined ABC is the most responsive and responsible bidder, in keeping with meeting all bid submittal and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requirements. Advance’s bid was invalidated due to not adhering to the bid submittal instructions. TEC’s bid did not have a Drug & Alcohol Policy that meets the FTA requirements.
This agreement will be effective January 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029; with an option to extend beyond the initial term for two additional one year periods from July 1 through June 30 of each year thereafter.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for these services to cover the period from January 1, 2026 through June 30, 2026 in the amount of $25,000 is included in the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Transportation Department adopted budget. There is no impact to the General Fund.

SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING TO DEVELOP
AND IMPLEMENT A WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PROGRAM AND
COORDINATED INTEGRATED MONITORING PROGRAM FOR THE LOWER
SAN GABRIEL RIVER WATERSHED COMMITTEE
Background:
In 2011, a group of agencies, also known as watershed “Permittees,” including the City of Norwalk created a Technical Committee to prepare an Implementation Plan, Monitoring Plan, and special studies for the Coyote Creek and San Gabriel River Reach 1 cities, as required by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board). The watershed group entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Gateway Water Management Authority (GWMA) as the administrator for the group in 2012. Funds were collected and expended for the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) work.
In May 2013, the members of the TMDL Committee plus representatives of cities/agencies in the San Jose Creek, Reach 2 and Reach 3 of the San Gabriel River, changed the name of the TMDL Committee to the Lower San Gabriel River Watershed Committee to reflect the expanded duties and members. The newly formed Lower San Gabriel River Watershed (LSGR) Committee began to work together to meet the requirements under the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Permit Order No. R4-2012 0175 (MS4 Permit). This permit imposed strict deadlines including the preparation of a Watershed Management Program (WMP) and a Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP) for the LSGR watershed.
An MOU with the GWMA was approved in late 2013 to develop this WMP and CIMP, and included the following Permittees: Artesia, Bellflower, Cerritos, Diamond Bar, Downey, Hawaiian
City Council October 21, 2025
Amendment No. 3 to MOU Page No. 2

7 2
Gardens, La Mirada, Lakewood, Long Beach, Norwalk, Pico Rivera, Santa Fe Springs, Whittier, and the Los Angeles County Flood Control District.
The purpose of that MOU was limited to the development of the WMP and CIMP. These documents outlined a number of stormwater compliance activities as required by the new MS4 permit, included but not limited to ongoing monitoring, development of policies and procedures by all Permittees, inspections, and projects such as infiltration basins, and bioswales, among others.
On June 16, 2015, City Council approved the first amendment to the agreement. The first amendment expanded the purpose of the original MOU to include not just the preparation of the WMP and CIMP, but also the implementation phase, with the exception of actual project construction.
On May 18, 2021, City Council approved the second amendment to the agreement. The second amendment extended the term of the agreement through September 30, 2025, and clarified that funding collected through the MOU may be used for regional Best Management Practices projects. It also incorporated GWMA’s administrative cost recovery program into the MOU and provided a consolidated cost share formula.
The LSGR Committee would like to continue to work together in order to achieve cost savings given that each Permittee is required to comply with the same stormwater regulations. The third amendment will extend the term of the MOU through September 30, 2030.
The annual contribution for the MOU will vary depending on the required monitoring and special studies needed to comply with the MS4 Permit. Exhibit B to the MOU amendment is the cost share table which estimates Norwalk’s contribution to average $82,983 per year for the next five years. This cost excludes GWMA’s administration costs and indirect administrative fees which are approved by the GWMA Board annually and will vary. GWMA’s administration costs and indirect administrative fees have historically been 3% of each city’s cost share ($2,489.49).
Fiscal Impact:
Measure W funding for the Memorandum of Understanding with Gateway Water Management Authority was included in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26 Public Services Budget. Funding for future FYs will be budgeted on an annual basis over term of the agreement.

City Council Agenda Report
October 21, 2025
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jesus M. Gomez, City Manager
BY: Alex Hamilton, Interim Director of Community Development Faye Yuan, Building & Safety Manager
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE NO. 25-1760 - AMENDING TITLE 15 (BUILDINGS AND
CONSTRUCTION) OF THE NORWALK MUNICIPAL CODE RELATED TO
ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING WHICH SETS FORTH AN EXPEDITED,
STREAMLINED PERMITTING PROCESS FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE
CHARGING STATIONS.
Background:
Assembly Bill (AB) 1236, which amended Government Code Section 65850.7, requires jurisdictions with a population of less than 200,000 residents to establish procedures for expedited, streamlined processes for issuing permits for electric vehicle charging stations. The amendments to Section 65850.7 include the requirement for a jurisdiction to adopt an ordinance for the expedited and streamlined process. The ordinance shall include the requirement that a jurisdiction adopt a checklist of requirements with which a permit application for an electric vehicle charging station will be eligible for expedited review.
An electric vehicle charging station is any level of electric vehicle supply equipment station which deliver electricity from a source outside an electric vehicle into a plug-in electric vehicle. AB 1236 may refer to the recommendations in the most current version of the “Plug-In Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Permitting Checklist” of the “Zero-Emission Vehicles in California:
Community Readiness Guidebook” published by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research.
Under Ordinance No. 25-1760, compliance with the aforementioned requirements would include the establishment of Chapter 15.54 (Electric Vehicle Charging) as part of Title 15 (Buildings and Construction) of the Norwalk Municipal Code (“NMC”). Specifically, the following components would be added to the NMC:
City Council October 21, 2025
Ordinance No. 25-1760 Page No. 2
A checklist containing objective requirements for the installation of an electric vehicle charging station and a process for electronic submittal of permit applications. Content of the checklist - requires the permit applicants to check the features of the existing electrical service such as rating in amperes, system voltage, connected or calculated load, spare capacity in amperes, voltage and ampere rating of the electric vehicle supply equipment, circuit rating of the electric vehicle supply equipment, location of the electric vehicle supply equipment, if ventilation is/or is not required, and clearances of the charging equipment to comply with all applicable building and fire safety laws. The checklist also assists the applicant in confirming that the location of the electric vehicle supply equipment will comply with any vehicle clearance requirements in the City’s Zoning Ordinance. Section 65850.7 requires that the City’s checklist may be based on the “Plug-In Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Permitting Checklist” of the “Zero-Emission Vehicles in California: Community Readiness Guidebook” of the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research.
Further, AB 1236 also clarifies that a jurisdiction shall not condition approval of a permit for an electric vehicle charging station based on the approval of an association as defined in California Civil Code, Section 4080.
Most of the procedures, such as electronic submittal of plans are currently in place and comply with the requirements of the AB 1236 and staff is assuring that successful implementation of an expedited, streamlined process will be available to permit applicants. The adoption of Ordinance No. 25-1760 would bring the City into full compliance with AB 1236.
Concurrent with City Council’s adoption of the ordinance, staff, is taking measures to ensure compliance with AB 1236. The checklist prepared in coordination with the “Plug-In Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Permitting Checklist” from the Zero-Emission Vehicles in California:
Community Readiness Guidebook, has been made publicly available. The checklist incorporates provisions for electrical code compliance as well as standard fire prevention safety measures. In addition, Building and Safety staff are developing procedures to provide timely and thorough inspections of electric vehicle charging station installations.
Environmental Assessment:
The adoption of this ordinance is not a project under the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it has no potential to result in a physical change to the environment. This ordinance is exempt pursuant to Section 15308 of the CEQA Guidelines— actions by regulatory agencies for the protection of the environment—because it is a regulatory action taken by local ordinance to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment.

EXHIBIT A
“Title 15 BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION
Chapter 15.54 ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS
15.54.010 Purpose
The purpose of this Chapter is to promote and encourage the use of electric vehicles by creating an expedited, streamlined permitting process for electric vehicle charging stations while promoting public health and safety and preventing specific adverse impacts in the installation and use of such charging stations. This Chapter is also purposed to comply with California Government Code Section 65850.7.
15.54.020 Definitions
(a) “Electric vehicle charging station” or “charging station” means any level of electric vehicle supply equipment station that is designed and built in compliance with Article 625 of the California Electrical Code, as it reads on the effective date of this Chapter, and delivers electricity from a source outside an electric vehicle into a plug-in electric vehicle.
(b) “Specific, adverse impact” means a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified, and written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the application was deemed complete.
(c) “Electronic submittal” means the utilization of one or more of the following:
a. Electronic mail or email.
b. The internet.
c. Facsimile.
15.54.030 Expedited permitting process
Consistent with Government Code Section 65850.7, the Building Official shall implement an expedited, streamlined permitting process for electric vehicle charging stations, and adopt a checklist of all requirements with which electric vehicle charging stations shall comply with in order to be eligible for expedited review. The expedited, streamlined permitting process and checklist may refer to the recommendations contained in the most current version of the “Plug-In Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Permitting Checklist” of the “Zero-Emission Vehicles in California: Community Readiness Guidebook” as published by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research. The City’s adopted checklist shall be published on the City’s website.
Ordinance No. 25-1760 Page 5 of 6

15.54.040 Permit application processing
(a) Prior to submitting an application for processing, the applicant shall verify that the installation of an electric vehicle charging station will not have specific, adverse impact to public health and safety and building occupants. Verification by the applicant includes but is not limited to: electrical system capacity and loads; electrical system wiring, bonding and overcurrent protection; building infrastructure affected by charging station equipment and associated conduits; areas of charging station equipment and vehicle parking.
(b) A permit application that satisfies the information requirements in the City’s adopted checklist shall be deemed complete and be promptly processed. Upon confirmation by the Building Official that the permit application and supporting documents meets the requirements of the City adopted checklist, and is consistent with all applicable laws and health and safety standards, the Building Official shall, consistent with Government Code Section 65850.7, approve the application and issue all necessary permits. Such approval does not authorize an applicant to energize or utilize the electric vehicle charging station until approval is granted by the City. If the Building Official determines that the permit application is incomplete, he or she shall issue a written correction notice to the applicant, detailing all deficiencies in the application and any additional information required to be eligible for expedited permit issuance.
(c) Consistent with Government Code Section 65850.7, the Building Official shall allow for electronic submittal of permit applications covered by this Ordinance and associated supporting documentations. In accepting such permit applications, the Building Official shall also accept electronic signatures on all forms, applications, and other documentation in lieu of a wet signature by any applicant.
15.54.050 Technical review
(a) It is the intent of this Ordinance to encourage the installation of electric vehicle charging stations by removing obstacles to permitting for charging stations so long as the action does not supersede the Building Official’s authority to address higher priority life-safety situations. If the Building Official makes a finding based on substantial evidence that the electric vehicle charging station could have a specific adverse impact upon the public health or safety, as defined in this Chapter, the City may require the applicant to apply for a use permit. (b) In the technical review of a charging station, consistent with Government Code Section 65850.7, the Building Official shall not condition the approval for any electric vehicle charging station permit on the approval of such a system by an association, as that term is defined by Civil Code Section 4080.

City Council Agenda Report
October 21, 2025
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jesus M. Gomez, City Manager
BY: Alex Hamilton, Interim Director of Community Development SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 25-50 – APPROVING AN AMENDED AND RESTATED
PARKING AGREEMENT
Background:
The County of Los Angeles (“County”) and City are parties to a Ground Lease Agreement dated March 30, 1995 (the “Parking Ground Lease”), pursuant to which the County leases to certain real property in the City, in turn the County leased the Parking Structure Parcel to City in order to facilitate the development and operation of the Parking Structure for use by the City and the County. On April 1, 1995, a Site Sublease entered by the City, as sublessor, and Norwalk Community Facilities Financing Authority (“NCFFA”), as sublessee. The NCFFA developed the Parking Structure Parcel with a multi-level parking structure (the “Parking Structure”) containing approximately 1,010 vehicle parking spaces, and a pedestrian bridge (the “Pedestrian Bridge”).
A Lease Agreement dated April 1, 1995 (the “City Leaseback Agreement”), entered by and between NCFFA, as lessor, and City, as lessee, NCFFA leased the Parking Structure and Pedestrian Bridge back to the City and the City continues to operate the Parking Structure.
The City, NCFFA, Theater Developer, and AMC are parties to a Parking Agreement dated May 15, 1995, a copy of which was recorded on June 14, 1995 as Instrument No. 95-948752 (the “1995 Agreement”) in the Official Records, as amended by that certain Amendment to Parking Agreement dated May 15, 1995, a copy of which was recorded on June 14, 1995 as Instrument No. 95-948753 in the Official Records (the “First Amendment”). A Second Amendment to Parking Agreement dated June 12, 1997, a copy of which was recorded on June 19, 1997 as Instrument No. 97-917901 in the Official Records (the “Second Amendment”) and together with the 1995 Agreement and the First Amendment, the (“Original Parking Agreement”), regarding the Parking Structure.
In the Original Parking Agreement, the City granted to the Theater Developer and AMC, and upon any termination of the Theater Ground Lease and/or Theater Lease, to the operator of the
City Council October 21, 2025

Theater Complex covering the Theater Parcel (a “Theater Operator”) and together with Theater Developer and AMC certain non-exclusive rights to utilize vehicle parking spaces in the Parking Structure and in the City Hall surface parking area (“Surface Parking Area”). The Ground Lease dated December 19, 2022, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Ground Lease dated March 31, 2025 (as amended, the “Project Ground Lease”), entered into by and between City and Primestor; City leased a portion of City Property, including but not limited to the Surface Parking Area to Primestor for the development and construction of a mixed use development (the “Mixed-Use Project”) consisting of (i) approximately three hundred seventy-four (374) residential units; (ii) approximately 94,398 square feet of commercial uses, which may include, but not be limited to, food and beverage establishments, retail, health and wellness facilities, and grocery or supermarket uses; and (iii) approximately 119,643 square feet of ground-floor open space/plaza area that is publicly accessible but privately maintained and operated.
The City, NCFFA, Theater Developer, and AMC desire to amend and restate the Original Parking Agreement, in its entirety, in order to permit patrons, customers, and employees (herein collectively called “Permittees”) of each of Theater Parties, Primestor Parties, and each party or parties in possession, which shall include tenants, subtenants, concessionaires and licensees, from time to time, of the Theater Complex and the Mixed-Use Project.
Analysis:
These amendments will clarify the operational characteristics of the Civic Center garage for all parties. With the completion of the Walk project and ongoing successful operations of the AMC theater, along with the County and State operations, it’s anticipated there will be a change in the manner in which parking in the garage is used. Briefly, the Amended and Restated Parking Agreement does the following:
a. Primestor’s Rights to Take Over Operation and Maintenance of Parking Structure (Section
4.2(b)) – Primestor will have the right to take over parking structure operations and maintenance (“O&M”). Costs of O&M currently are borne by the City. If Primestor elects to take over O&M, the costs would be determined under a management agreement between City and Primestor to be negotiated and entered into later. The City would continue to receive parking revenue.
b. Theater Parking Study and Potential for Exclusive Theater Parking (Section 4.3(a)) – The City and Primestor agreed that language authorizing the movie theater up to 500 exclusive parking spaces needed to remain. Therefore, the parking agreement was revised as follows:
i. Allows a maximum of 500 exclusive theater parking spaces during hours of operation. ii. The number of exclusive theater parking spaces would be limited to the number of parking spaces justified in the parking study but not exceed 500 parking spaces. It is important to note that while 500 spaces are dedicated for the AMC theater, previous parking studies have shown that even during peak demand periods that number is never close to being exceeded. In the event, that during future operation of the garage it appears that number is close to being approached, AMC would have to justify the City Council October 21, 2025
Resolution No. 25-50 – Approving an Amended and
Restated Parking Agreement
Page No. 3

8 5
need for the full 500 spaces with a parking study subject to review and consideration by all parties to the agreement.
iii. Exclusive theater parking spaces would be “paused” if the theater complex ceases operation for 90 day consecutive days and resume once operations restart. iv. If exclusive theater parking is triggered, the City is to be allocated 250 non-exclusive parking spaces between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Fridays under the parking plan. This addresses the City’s concern that adequate parking remain in the garage for City Hall patrons, City staff, fleet vehicles, and Public Safety.
Environmental Review:
The City Council hereby finds that the Amended and Restated Parking Agreement is categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) as this activity will not have a significant effect on the environment per Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines and CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) – Common Sense Exemption in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Amended and Restated Parking Agreement may have a significant effect on the environment.
