SUBJECT: EMERGENCY WATERLINE WORK FOR POTTER STREET STORM DRAIN
REPAIRS
Background:
On February 24, 2025, the City awarded Wright Construction Engineering a public works contract for City Project No. 7606, Potter Street Storm Drain Repairs, to replace and realign an existing section of storm drain and catch basins located within Potter Street. On June 20, 2025, Public Services reported a water main break that occurred during excavation activities. In response, Public Services reached out to Stephen Doreck Equipment Rentals, Inc. to remove and relocate the damaged water main out of a City owned easement on private property at 11701 Potter Street. The existing pipeline was abandoned and filled with sand, and both ends were cut and capped at Potter Street and Alburtis Avenue. An existing fire hydrant was also relocated with the water main repairs. At Alburtis Avenue during abandonment of the water main an unknown tee fitting was inadvertently struck and damaged causing an additional repair.
During construction, the temporary severed connection to the Los Angeles County storm drain trunk line, pump watches were deployed to Potter Street on November 13, 14, 15, and 16, 2025, due to heavy rainfall.
Norwalk Municipal Code §3.20.140 provides procedures for emergency work for recommendation and approval for each service requested.

SUBJECT: CONFIRM EMERGENCY WORK PAYMENT FOR POTTER STREET STORM
DRAIN REPAIRS
Background:
On February 24, 2025, the City awarded a contract to Wright Construction Engineering for City Project No. 7606 – Potter Street Storm Drain Replacement, to replace and realign an existing section of storm drain pipes and associated catch basins on Potter Street.
On June 20, 2025, Public Services responded to a water main break that occurred during excavation activities. Based on field observations, it was determined that excavation likely disturbed the surrounding soil, leading to trench instability and failure, which ultimately caused the water main rupture. The rupture resulted in significant flooding, impacting an adjacent resident’s garage and backyard. To mitigate flooding during subsequent rain events, emergency pumping operations were implemented from November 13 through November 17, 2025. To prevent further delays and minimize continued impacts to the affected property, Public Services engaged Mike Bubalo Construction Co. Inc., on an emergency basis to complete the remaining scope of work, as Wright Construction Engineering was deemed non-responsive to make such emergency repairs.
From January 20 through January 26, 2026, mobilization and site preparation activities were completed. Crews delivered equipment, performed saw-cutting of asphalt and concrete at the Alburtis Avenue connection point, and excavated to expose the existing 24-inch storm drain.
Excavation areas and the adjacent block wall were properly shored. Concurrently, staff coordinated with the affected resident to clear the backyard, remove existing concrete, and perform survey work. Trenching operations progressed from catch basin to catch basin, extending into the backyard as necessary.

From January 27 through January 30, 2026, pipe installation was completed. Crews installed 12” C900 pipe on properly prepared sand bedding, progressing toward the north catch basin.
Backfilling was performed in controlled, compacted lifts with continuous soil compaction testing.
A temporary connection to the existing 24” storm drain on Alburtis Avenue was established, representing a key project milestone.
From February 2 through February 13, 2026, final construction activities were completed. Work included installation of a 10” pipe across Potter Street with slurry backfill, construction of both south and north catch basins (including inverts, walls, and decks), and completion of surface restoration. Concrete flatwork and curbing in the backyard were installed, and the street trench was fully paved. Requested catch basin repairs were also completed. As a precautionary measure, temporary debris screens were installed at catch basin outlets in advance of forecasted storm events.

SUBJECT: CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO. 1 - PROFESSIONAL FINANCIAL AUDITING
SERVICES TERM EXTENSION
Background:
Annually, the City is required to prepare various financial reports and undergo audits to comply with state and federal requirements. These audits and financial reports must be performed by an independent certified public accounting firm to ensure objective results and adherence to industry standards and best practices.
In May of 2022, the City Council approved an agreement with Vasquez and Company, LLP (“Vasquez”) to perform professional auditing services. These services included annual preparation of the following audits and related reports:
City Audit and related reports
Single Audit and related reports
Transit system fund audit report
Child Care Fund Audit Report
Norwalk Community Facilities Financing Authority Audit Report I-5 Consortium Audit Report
Air Quality Management District Fund Audit Report
City’s Appropriation Limit (“GANN Limit”) Report

TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jesus M. Gomez, City Manager
BY: Alex Hamilton, Interim Director of Community Development Sandra Duran, Senior Management Analyst
SUBJECT: APPROVAL FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT TO PREPARE AN
ADDENDUM TO THE HEART OF NORWALK SPECIFIC PLAN FINAL
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
Background:
In February 2025, the City received a Senate Bill 330 (“Preliminary Application from Brandywine Homes (Brandywine)), proposing a 161 unit condominium complex, with 21 units set aside for low-income households, along with density bonuses pursuant to state law inclusive of waivers and concessions (“Project”), for the property located at 12500 Firestone Boulevard (“Subject Site”, currently developed as Saddleback Hotel), which was within the C-3 zoning district at the time (the Subject Site has since been rezoned to the Heart of Norwalk Specific Plan area).
On May 22, 2025, Brandywine submitted its formal land use entitlement applications for the Project (“Builder’s Remedy Application”), seeking entitlements to proceed with the development and construction of the Project and invoking Brandywine’s rights to proceed under Builder’s Remedy. (See Gov. Code, § 65589.5(h)(11).).
The City team worked with Brandywine, and a Settlement Agreement (SA) was approved by City Council on March 17, 2026, to avoid the cost and uncertainty of any further disputes and potential litigation concerning the Project, the Builder’s Remedy Application, and the Notice of Intent.
Brandywine will deliver to the City the sum of $200,000 as reimbursement for processing fees, costs and expenses (including third party contractors and environmental consultants advising City) incurred by City with respect to the Revised Project Application and City’s attorneys’ fees incurred with the Builder’s Remedy Application Claims and the SA.
The Revised Project Application, which is an integral part of the SA includes a project consisting of 120 residential units (a mix of for sale townhomes and single family residences). It also

includes a 1.8 acre “carve out” for a nationally branded hotel. The hotel parcel would be created by a Parcel Map as part of the entitlement process for the Revised Project Application.
Impact Sciences prepared a professional service proposal for the City to prepare an Addendum pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to the Heart of Norwalk Specific Plan (Specific Plan) Program Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) to analyze the Revised Project Application and related uses including the proposed hotel and residential development project located at the Subject Site, which is in the Railway Corridor District of the Specific Plan.
Impact Sciences recently prepared the Program Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the City’s adopted Heart of Norwalk Specific Plan and is therefore familiar with the Specific Plan area, the City’s standards and practices for the implementation of CEQA, and how to apply the analysis and mitigation measures in the Program FEIR. The addendum will analyze the Revised Project Application for consistency with the Program FEIR and analyze land use capacity and growth assumptions in the FEIR.
Fiscal Impact:
The total for the agreement with Impact Sciences is $37,740. There is no anticipated impact to the General Fund. As part of the Settlement Agreement, Brandywine will reimburse the City for processing fees, costs and expenses (including third party contractors advising City) and submit a deposit of $200,000 to the City for these services.

TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jesus M. Gomez, City Manager
BY: Allan Perdomo, Director of Recreation and Park Services
SUBJECT: APPROVE THE INSTALLATION OF AN ATHLETIC NETTING SYSTEM FOR
ZIMMERMAN PARK
Background:
Since 1992, Zimmerman Park has been the site for youth and adult baseball leagues year-round.
In 2023, the Recreation and Park Services Department (RPSD) received multiple reports from a local resident concerning balls landing in their backyard adjacent to the park. Due to these concerns, RPSD personnel have taken the following measures:
1) June 2024 - All bases were moved 10 feet back, which caused the home base plate to be closer to the batter's cage.
2) July 2024 – The infield was temporarily fenced off, and field permits were granted for outfield use only.
3) April 2025 - The overhead net above home plate was extended by 1,276 sq. feet by the installation of an athletic netting system. The project cost totaled $18,500. 4) May 2025 – Field #1 reopened for play. City staff directed Youth Sports organizations to be mindful of adjacent homes and only conduct batting practice towards the outfield.
5) November 2025 – Signage was posted at Field #1 to direct players to only aim towards the outfield and away from residential homes.
Despite the aforementioned adjustments, neighboring residents continued to raise concerns about baseballs landing on their properties. Thus, a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 26 -5101- 006 was released on February 26, 2026.
The RFQ requested bids for the installation of poles and a netting system behind the existing fence along the baseline of home plate and first base, plus the replacement of the bottom 10’ of chain link fence of the entire backstop on field one at Zimmerman Park.

FROM: Jesus M. Gomez, City Manager
BY: Alex Hamilton, Interim Director of Community Development SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO APPROVE AN EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATING
AGREEMENT FOR THE REAL PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE NORWALK TRANSIT VILLAGE SPECIFIC PLAN PLANNING AREA NO. 1
Background:
On November 19, 2024, City Council approved the Norwalk Transit Village Specific Plan (NTV), which envisions opportunities for new economic development within the former Southern California Youth Correctional Reception Center and Clinic 30+ acre site located at 13200 Bloomfield Avenue (Subject Site). The NTV is a mixed-use project comprising a variety of complimentary uses including new market rate and affordable housing (of the total number of residential units 40% will be affordable), along with a mix of commercial/hospitality, and open space uses including an approximately 1.6 acre park. The NTV was approved with a total of eight planning areas intended to promote orderly and context sensitive growth to create a unique community connected by a robust network of pedestrian, bike, and vehicular linkages.
Project Area No. 1 in the NTV is zoned Mixed Use Commercial (MU-C) and is located along Bloomfield Avenue frontage. A variety of commercial uses are envisioned in this planning area including hospitality uses.
On December 3, 2024, City Council adopted Resolution No. 24-61 approving the Purchase and Sales Agreement (“PSA”) by and between the State of California and the City for the Subject Site.
On December 17, 2024, City Council adopted Resolution No. 24-62 declaring the Subject Site exempt surplus land pursuant to Government Code §§54221(F)(1) and approving a Disposition and Development Agreement (“DDA”), by and between the City and Lewis Land Developers, LLC (“Developer”).

On April 15, 2025, a Development Agreement (“DA”) was adopted by City Council by and between the City and the Developer with the intent to coordinate and facilitate the successful and timely completion of all necessary improvements (public and private) identified in the NTV Specific Plan. It also found the DA No. 2025-0001 is within the envelope of the Final Environmental Impact Report (“FEIR”) prepared for the Norwalk Transit Village Specific Plan Project and no further environmental review was required.
Pursuant to the PSA on July 24, 2025, the City closed escrow on the property, and is now required to demolish and clear all the structures on the site before turning the prepared site over to the Developer. Currently the City is soliciting bids for the demolition of the site and City Council award of the demolition contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder is scheduled to occur late April or early May 2026. As the demolition involves some abatement activities, the completion of the entire abatement, demolition, and remediation is expected to occur by late Fall 2026.
The completed site will be turned over to Lewis Land Developers (Lewis) in early 2027 who will then commence site improvement activities pursuant to the DA in accordance with the NTV Specific Plan.
Analysis:
Kosmont Partners did a market analysis and concluded that Norwalk, because of its suitable location in the region including its multimodal connection to major transportation networks and regional attractions, could benefit from additional branded hotel keys. However, there are unique challenges in this current economy to locating, financing, constructing, and operating hotels regardless of the brand or market demand.
To build greater certainty into the contemplated hotel development, the City is considering an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (“ENA”) with Hotel2Suites 2 LLC (“H2S2”) to facilitate the entitlement, construction, and management of a major branded hotel of a minimum of 150 rooms to be located in Planning Area No. 1 of the NTV.
H2S2 entity created for the potential Norwalk hotel is preeminently qualified to serve as a complete “turnkey entity” to design, entitle, construct, and operate a full service nationally branded hotel at this location. The City desires a turnkey hotel project on the site from experienced business ownership with quality construction, development, and total hotel operations, management, hotel room sales services, and restaurant/rooftop bar for the Hotel Facility with an ongoing business plan for the success of the operation. These services should provide competent and sound design, development, project management, fiscal hotel management, quality hotel services with an emphasis on maximizing revenues, minimizing expenses and developing a positive marketing and sales program for the enhancement of the reputation and image of not only the Hotel Facility.
Exclusive Negotiation Agreements are common tools used with great success to create a binding commitment between cities and developer interests that typically contain a defined term City Council April 7, 2026

and other general business term parameters that give both the City and Developer a defined time and milestones under which to negotiate business terms thereby creating more certainty for the parties. Typically, the ENA period will culminate with an agreement between the parties to move forward with the preferred development within a defined period of time subject to various performance guarantees between the parties
The ENA has several key provisions outlined below. These key terms will help guide the preparation of future agreements:
Negotiation Period: 24 months with a 12 month automatic extension provided certain conditions are met plus 2 additional extension subject to the parties mutual consent. Securing of Brand: Within 6 months after execution of ENA, H2S2 will secure the brand rights from Hilton Worldwide.
Due Diligence including entitlements, financial feasibility, and approval and execution of a Hotel Development, Construction Management, Operations, Management and Maintenance Agreement (“DCOMMA”) to occur during the negotiation period as extended pursuant to the terms in the ENA.
Business Terms: H2S2 will be solely responsible for all costs associated with consultants retained for perform H2S2’s obligations under this ENA, including entitlements and any project design, feasibility, or engineering costs.
Cooperation of Parties: Both parties will mutually cooperate and coordinate the development of all studies or documents needed to perfect the design of the project.
Should City Council approve the ENA, staff will continue working with H2S2 to move the project concept forward including any necessary entitlements, coordination with the Lewis on site demolition, remediation, and site preparation. As the City is currently under contract with Lewis as the Master Developer of the entire site, there will be a separate purchase option agreement by and between the City and Lewis to be considered by City Council in the near future.

Furthermore, the ENA does not involve a “physical change” to the environment and is a strictly administrative activity under the previously certified FEIR for the Norwalk Transit Village Specific Plan.
Fiscal Impact:
None at this time. All costs associated with the development of the project pursuant to the ENA will be borne by the applicant.
