SUBJECT: APPROVE PROPOSAL FOR CITYWIDE ENTRY MONUMENT REFURBISHING Background:
The City possesses eleven monuments at major arterial entry points, allowing incoming motorists to recognize when they have entered the City of Norwalk. These monuments have created a sense of identify and pride to the stability of the City. They possess a grey speckled granite slab with gold inlay containing the word ‘Norwalk’, surrounded by red-colored brick and columns with white-colored bases and white-colored finials. Four monuments have been recently refurbished to the luster they once possessed; seven remain to be serviced.
On February 17, 2026, City Council approved Resolution No. 26-13 authorizing amendments to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26 budget, whereas Art in Public Places funds were allocated to support the continued refurbishment of entry monuments.
Staff has received a proposal from Bravo Sign and Design, Inc. that includes all labor and materials to acid wash all brick, pressure wash, polish granite slab, touch-up letter inlays, and paint the bases and finials. Proposal has been determined to be fair and reasonable.
Accordingly, staff are seeking City Council approval to award a contract in accordance with the Norwalk Municipal Code for Public Works Competitive Bid Requirements, Level 1 Projects (Projects under $75,000).
To ensure that the monuments remain in high-quality condition, staff have made irrigation adjustments to prevent water overspray and complimentary landscaping shall be installed, maintained and rotated seasonally; coupled by scheduled cosmetic cleaning.

Amendment No. 1
Overhead Door Repair and Maintenance Services
Page No. 2

3 1
The life expectancy of automatic sliding doors at public sports facilities is approximately 10 to 15 years. These subject facilities were constructed and/or last remodeled in 1992. Due to constant daily use in a high-traffic sports environment, components such as rollers, tracks, and automatic motors, experience accelerated wear and tear, contributing to the reduced service life.
The existing doors consist of heavy-duty aluminum or steel frames with tempered glass, which are standard for high-durability applications. However, entrance doors at these facilities are also exposed to environmental conditions such as rain, humidity, and temperature fluctuations, further contributing to deterioration over time.
On February 17, 2026, City Council approved Resolution No. 26-13 authorizing amendments to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 budget, which included an allocation of $99,000 to support this project.
Staff received a proposal from Miner, Ltd. of Norwalk, the City’s Overhead Door Repair and Maintenance Services contractor. The proposal has been reviewed and determined to be fair and reasonable; therefore, staff are recommending approval of Amendment No. 1 to proceed with replacement of entrance doors at the NASC, CMC and CAC.
Fiscal Impact:
Sufficient funding is included in the approved FY 2025/26 budget. The budget is as follows:

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 26-21 - BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR ATHLETIC NETTING
SYSTEM INSTALLATION
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. After multiple attempts to rectify this issue internally, City personnel moved forward with a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 26-5101-006 for the installation of an athletic netting system, which was released on February 26, 2026.
After evaluating all the proposals, RPSD selected Judge Netting as the most responsive bidder for RFQ 26-5101-006. The agreement was approved at the April 7, 2026, City Council Meeting.
Staff is requesting a budget amendment as this project was not included in FY Budget 2025/26.
Fiscal Impact:
This project was not included in FY Budget 2025/26, and a budget amendment is needed to allocate funds from the Park Renovation fund in the amount of $84,800.

SUBJECT: AGREEMENT FOR INSTALLATION OF SECURITY BADGE READERS AT
CITYWIDE FACILITIES
Background:
The City continues to implement enhanced safety measures across all City facilities to prioritize the safety of residents, staff, and visitors. In 2024, ASSI Security (ASSI) was engaged to install security badge readers at City Hall, which restrict unauthorized access and improve staff safety.
Expanding this effort will secure key entry and exit points, creating the opportunity for clear access control to Citywide facilities, while also removing the need for physical keys which will save costs. By switching to badge readers, cards that are lost or stolen can easily be deactivated, decreasing any potential unauthorized access and staff access is easier monitored since the technology logs all badges scanned.
Staff have identified various doors at City Hall and other City facilities that require installation of security badge readers. Currently, there are seven doors at City Hall that have updated the badge readers, including the Administration Department, Communications Department, City Clerk’s Department, and entryways to the downstairs basement. This feature is an added security measure to provide public safety for those who frequent City facilities.
The addition of the badge readers will be completed in phases with the goal of ensuring security and safety are enhanced throughout all City facilities. During this phase, 17 doors at City Hall are expected to be completed, at which point staff will then proceed with addressing this need at other facilities.
ASSI has been identified as the best fit for this project. Their system integrates seamlessly with the City’s existing infrastructure, which will minimize operational disruptions and avoid unnecessary costs. As the incumbent provider, ASSI has a well-established understanding of

the City’s operational needs and requirements. ASSI has demonstrated technical expertise in the installation of security badge readers. Their team’s ability and knowledge in this area are essential to ensuring successful implementation. Their proven experience and technical proficiency in security badge reader installations supports smooth and effective deployment.
Fiscal Impact:
The anticipated fiscal impact of the proposed work for the agreement is $74,985. Funding for this project has been appropriated in the Fiscal Year 2025/26 operational budget.
Citizens Advised:
N/A
Strategic Plan 2023 Implementation:

SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 11 TO THE AGREEMENT FOR CITYWIDE STREET
SWEEPING SERVICES
Background:
Since 1994, Nationwide Environmental Services, a division of Joe’s Sweeping Inc., has provided citywide street sweeping services for residential and arterial streets, City-owned parking lots, and the Civic Center parking structure. Amendment No. 11 primarily updates the method of applying the Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment. Under the amendment, the CPI adjustment will now apply to the full Contract Sum, with an annual increase to be the actual CPI or four percent (4%), whichever is greater. Beginning July 1, 2026, the annual contract amount will be subject to these adjustments. This approach provides greater cost predictability and supports the continued delivery of consistent service levels.
All other modifications included in Amendment No. 11 are administrative in nature and intended to clarify existing provisions of the Agreement. These include updates to language related to fuel cost and tipping fee adjustments, scope of services, exhibits, and general contract administration. No significant changes to the overall scope or level of service are proposed.
Fiscal Impact:
Funds for this service have been requested during the budget process for Fiscal Year 2026/27.

Background:
The purpose of this public hearing is to provide an opportunity for further input from the community and City Council on the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026/27 Annual Action Plan (Plan) for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), and obtain City Council authorization to transmit the Plan with an application to secure CDBG and HOME funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As a part of the application process, the Plan lists the specific activities that the City will undertake with the funds. The types of activities that the City may conduct are subject to federal rules and regulations, such as funding caps on program administration and social services, requirements for public-private partnerships, and compliance with the National Objectives of decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities.
While HOME funds may only be used for housing-related activities, CDBG funds may be used for a variety of community development activities, such as rehabilitation of housing and commercial buildings, infrastructure improvements, and certain services, such as counseling and job training. Funds may be used to directly benefit a household that meets income limitations, such as repair of a specific home, or used for an area benefit, where the improvement is located in a census tract with at least 51% of households considered low- to moderate-income.

The City Council held a public meeting on March 17, 2026, to receive public comments on the proposed CDBG and HOME activities. A draft Plan was prepared and made available for public review and comment, starting March 30, 2026, through May 1, 2026.
HUD regulations limit the City to funding only those activities listed in the 30-day public review notice. The City Council may increase, reduce, or eliminate the funding allocation of any of the activities listed below, but new activities cannot be added at this time without issuing a new public hearing notice and providing additional opportunity for public comment.
Activities in the 2026/27 Annual Action Plan
For FY 2026/27, the City will receive $953,352. in CDBG entitlement funds; $25,000 in estimated program income, and $100,000 in carryover funds. Program income and carryover funds will be allocated to a Capital Improvement Project or Economic Development Activity. In HOME entitlement funds, the City will receive $263,328.03; $25,000 in HOME estimated program income, and $998,732.18 in HOME carryover funds. Program income and carryover funds will be allocated to an Affordable Housing Activity. In the first public hearing on March 17, 2026, estimated CDBG and HOME grant amounts were presented, as HUD had not issued final grant allocations. CDBG and HOME final allocations were announced by HUD on April 3, 2026, with a slight increase from FY 2025/26 allocations. The Plan establishes strategies for the next program year and identifies specific projects and activities to be undertaken with CDBG and HOME funds received from HUD.
The following table lists the activities and expenditures for FY 2026/27:

Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
The City of Norwalk is required to prepare and submit an Annual Action Plan (Action Plan) as an application to receive federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027 AAP represents the second year of the City’s 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan. The purpose of this Action Plan is to provide details on how funds will be allocated to specific programming with the expected outcomes.
For 2026-2027, the City of Norwalk expects to receive $953,352 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and $263,328.03 in HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds. The Community Development Department, specifically the Housing and Neighborhood Division, is the agency responsible for preparing all HUD-required reports. This Action Plan will cover activities beginning July 1, 2026, and ending on June 30, 2027.
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Objectives and outcomes identified in the Action Plan reflect the goals and strategies established in the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan (ConPlan). The ConPlan represents high priority needs for the City of Norwalk, which were determined through detailed data collection and analysis of affordable housing, homelessness, and non-housing community development as well as community meetings and stakeholder interviews. The City has identified the following ConPlan goals listed below:
• Provide decent, affordable housing
• Support special needs programs and services
• Construct or upgrade public facilities and infrastructure • Create public awareness of fair housing
• Create job-generating businesses and job training
• Create homeless prevention programs and services
• Maintain and promote neighborhood preservation by preserving, rehabilitating, and enhancing neighborhoods
In short, the following findings illustrate how the City determined priority needs:
• Homeowners making between 30 to 80 percent area median income (AMI) were found to experience the greatest number of issues with severe housing problems. • More than 50 percent of households were considered to be cost burdened households, or households who spent more than 30 and 50 percent of their total income on housing costs.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution - 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed The City ensures to provide services funded through entitlement funds to be made available citywide to service Norwalk residents. However, for specific CDBG programs such as capital improvement and business incentive programs, assistance will be provided to census tracts that qualify on an “area benefit” basis. As determined by HUD, an area benefit activity is one that benefits all residents of an area in which it is primarily residential, and in which 51 percent of the population is low- and moderate- income. The City utilized American Census Survey data to prepare a map that illustrates qualified census tracts and block groups that may qualify under area benefit.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The City will make CDBG and HOME funded activities available citywide. For example, social services, economic development, job training efforts, affordable housing development, and homeless prevention efforts will be taken as citywide initiatives. For infrastructure, roads, and/or sidewalk improvements, the City will ensure qualified census tracts will be assisted.
Discussion
Overall, the City of Norwalk will make CDBG and HOME programs available citywide to continue providing services to the low- and moderate-income individuals and households. This direction and overall goals support the priorities established in the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and will greatly benefit Norwalk residents.

Introduction
The Annual Action Plan (AAP) is required to outline specific goals for the number of affordable housing opportunities that will be provided to homeless, non-homeless, and special needs households during the program year. It must also detail the number of affordable housing units to be delivered, categorized by program type, such as rental assistance, new construction, rehabilitation of existing units, or acquisition of properties. In this context, "affordable housing" is defined in accordance with the HOME regulations outlined in 24 CFR 92.252 for rental housing and 24 CFR 92.254 for homeownership.

Discussion
As is the trend across the state of California, there is a lack of decent, affordable housing units in the City of Norwalk, resulting in a lack of affordability. There is a lack of decent, affordable units across the board in the City of Norwalk, resulting in much of the housing stock being out of the affordable range.
For low-income renters, access to decent, affordable units is even more daunting. According to 2017- 2021 ACS data, 60% of renters were cost burdened or paying more than 30% of their income on housing (census.gov). In 2025, Fair Market rents were considerably higher than HOME Rents.
The lack of affordable housing in Norwalk’s housing market will be addressed in FY 2026/2027 with several City initiatives, including: Security Deposit Assistance Program, Emergency Services Program, and job training efforts to increase household incomes. TBRA, operated by the Norwalk Housing Authority (NHA), will provide $30,000 in HOME funding to assist Housing Choice Voucher holders and the

The City is actively engaging with developers for affordable housing projects. The City has collaborated with Weingart for affordable housing development on the following site:
1. Project Homekey - This property, located at 10646 Rosecrans Avenue, was converted from a motel into a 54-unit supportive housing to provide shelter and services for individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
The City is actively engaging with developers for affordable housing projects. The City is collaborating with Diversity Builders for affordable housing development on the following site:
1. Residences at The Walk
This proposed project includes the construction of mixed-use development with residential, commercial, and open space uses on the location of the current City Hall Lawn and surface parking lot. Up to 350 residential units with associated amenities and up to 110,000 square feet of commercial uses is in development.

AP-60 Public Housing - 91.220(h)
Introduction
The Norwalk Housing Authority (NHA) administers the Housing Choice Voucher Program. The NHA receives a total of 732 Housing Choice Vouchers from HUD. The NHA also allocates 2 Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) slots. The NHA does not have any public housing units. The NHA's goals are to maximize voucher utilization, maintain "high-performer" status, promote economic self-sufficiency, apply for new rental vouchers, if available, and undertake affirmative measures to provide a suitable living environment for families living in assisted housing regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, and disability.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing The NHA does not have public housing. However, due to the limited supply of rental housing in Norwalk, the HOME program will be providing security deposit assistance to new Section 8 voucher holders to help them be more successful in securing rental housing. Additionally, the NHA will continue to participate in regional landlord outreach activities and offer incentives to facilitate acceptance of the voucher program.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
The NHA does not own or maintain public housing currently. However, the NHA encourages homeownership among its voucher program recipients through its Family Self-Sufficiency Program which provides access to case management, financial incentives, and other supportive services to achieve greater economic independence. Participants of the Section 8 program are paired with a coordinator to create a personalized plan with goals. Participants also have access to resources such as job training, career development, homeownership counseling, and financial literacy workshops through collaboration with the Southeast Los Angeles County Workforce Development Board.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance
The Norwalk Housing Authority is not designated as troubled.
Discussion
Overall, the City does not own or maintain its own public housing but works closely and in collaboration with the Norwalk Housing Authority to ensure that eligible participants can access safe and decent housing while maintaining affordability.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities - 91.220(i) Introduction
This section describes the City’s one-year goals and the specific action steps it will undertake in the program year to carry out the homeless strategy outlined in SP-60 Homelessness Strategy. It will also describe the jurisdiction’s one-year goals and specify the activities it will undertake to serve the housing and supportive service needs of non-homeless populations who require supportive housing.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
During the Program Year, the City plans to coordinate outreach with LAHSA, Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol and Drug Abuse, Southern California Health and Rehabilitation Program (SCHARP), People Assisting the Homeless (PATH), and Jovenes. Coordination with such entities promotes communication about where homeless encampments are forming and progress the teams have made in assessing homeless individuals. The City uses the Los Angeles County Homeless Portal to refer homeless residents to the LAHSA outreach team.
The City will continue to support programs and strategies, which address the Priority Needs of Homeless Persons and Families in the following ways:
• Provide CDBG funding to support programs and services for the homeless and those in need of housing assistance through its CDBG Public Service Funding, including the Emergency Assistance Program.
• Use HOME funds to assist homeless individuals and families with security deposits. • Provide other funds to support homeless prevention and rapid rehousing services offered by The Whole Child and Kingdom Causes Bellflower.
The City of Norwalk will continue to reduce unsheltered homelessness through coordinated outreach, engagement, and housing-focused interventions led by the Homeless Operation Prevention and Engagement (HOPE) Team and the Housing Liaison.
The HOPE Team operates weekday daytime teams (Monday–Friday, 5:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.) and a night- and-weekend team (Wednesday–Sunday, 12:30 p.m.–8:30 p.m.) to provide consistent coverage and timely engagement with unsheltered individuals. The team conducts proactive outreach, assesses individual needs, educates individuals on available services, responds to resident and business concerns, coordinates encampment clean-ups, and supports appropriate enforcement when necessary to maintain public safety.
Outreach efforts prioritize unsheltered persons and emphasize relationship-building to increase

2026
35 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
acceptance of services. Information collected during engagements is documented and shared with service providers to support individualized service plans, improve referrals, and identify service gaps.
The City’s Housing Liaison complements these efforts by coordinating housing referrals, assisting with housing navigation and applications, tracking progress toward housing placement, and collaborating with County and nonprofit partners to ensure continuity of care. Through this coordinated approach, the City aims to increase service connections, improve housing placements, and reduce the number of individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness over the next year.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City will continue to support the following emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of People Experiencing Homelessness (PEH) through The City of Norwalk’s Social Services Department (SSD) and agencies funded under Public Services:
The SSD offers public assistance programs and services designed to assist People Experiencing Homelessness (PEH), low- income Norwalk residents, and those in need of transitional services, emergency shelter, and/or food. The SSD provides motel vouchers for up to three (3) nights, depending on the circumstance, for emergency lodging for people in need of temporary shelter. Client must be working with a homeless service provider agency or have a plan in place.
Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol and Drug Abuse (LA CADA) provides residential treatment and transitional housing with services for homeless residents with substance abuse and behavioral health needs. CDBG funds will be used to increase substance abuse treatment outreach and coordination with the homeless outreach team.
Jovenes Inc. Motel Voucher Program provides temporary safe housing for Norwalk youth experiencing homelessness. The Motel Voucher Program purpose is to provide a safe and secure temporary housing location while a long-term solution is created. Youth will be connected to longer term housing options with Jovenes’ continuum of care.
Additionally, the City will support the County's Continuum of Care funding application which includes transitional shelter programs and permanent supportive housing.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
In 2021, Project Homekey funds were used to acquire a former motel. The property was renovated to

2026
36 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
provide permanent supportive housing, prioritizing individuals experiencing homelessness in the Norwalk area. The project was developed in partnership with non-profit housing operators and included wraparound supportive services. The Social Services Department (SSD) is the lead department in the City in coordination with the Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority (LAHSA) and Gateway Cities and implementing homeless count efforts. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding is provided to SSD for an Emergency Assistance Program (EAP), which aids with utilities and temporary housing. The program is open to any low-income Norwalk residents in need of emergency assistance, but principally benefits families with children. The City will financially support programs and services for the homeless through its CDBG Public Service Funding. The City also plans to use HOME funds to assist people experiencing homelessness and families with security deposits through a Tenant-Based Rental Assistant (TBRA) program.
Kingdom Causes Bellflower (KCB) is able to help prevent families and individuals from becoming homeless by paying rental arrears, utility assistance, and move-in cost of homeless neighbors from Norwalk. KCB also provides landlord mediation, referrals to other providers, case management, and budget counseling for households, all things that contribute to household stability.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.
SSD offers public assistance programs and services designed to assist low-income Norwalk residents and those in need of emergency shelter. According to SSD, motel vouchers are issued for up to three (3) nights, depending on the circumstance, for emergency lodging for people in need of temporary shelter.
Often times, people seek this service because they need a place to sleep while they wait to be admitted into a homeless shelter, are unable to afford shelter for short period of time, need of a place to get cleaned up and rest or may have been displaced due to fire / home emergency.
Many of the constituents who seek assistance from SSD are low-income households at risk of homelessness or experiencing homelessness. They come in for food assistance, advocacy assistance for services through other agencies, and referrals to drug/alcohol rehabilitation facilities, homeless shelters, medical treatment facilities and other agencies.
The City has taken additional efforts to address homelessness by collaborating with the Gateway Cities Council of Governments, Gateway Connections Program, to offer housing and services People Experiencing Homelessness (PEH). This program, along with the Social Services and Community Development Departments and the Housing Authority, serves as a bridge between those who are in need and resources that are available. The SSD is currently working with Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority (LAHSA) on the annual Point-in-Time Homeless Count and refers families to services and other

providers which provide homeless services for SPA 7.
Discussion
In December 2023, the City of Norwalk adopted a new Strategic Action Plan to Address Homelessness.
The City aspires to provide housing and supportive services to individuals currently experiencing homelessness and to establish clear processes for addressing it in the future. Central to this effort is the City’s commitment to treating every person with dignity and compassion.
The Strategic Plan serves as a comprehensive roadmap, outlining how the City intends to allocate and advocate for resources — drawing from the county, state, and local community — to ensure that experiences of homelessness are rare, brief, and non-recurring.
Prior to the pandemic, Norwalk had made remarkable progress. Guided by the Plan to Prevent and Combat Homelessness adopted in 2018, the City established the Homeless Operations Prevention & Engagement (HOPE) team. Working alongside city social services, Community Development teams, non- profit organizations, and community groups, the HOPE team achieved significant results: the number of people experiencing homelessness fell by nearly 50% — from 317 to 168 — between 2017 and 2020.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic brought a significant setback. The termination of Project RoomKey, the emergency shelter program, led to a sharp surge in the homelessness count.
More recently, the City has resumed meaningful progress. According to the 2025 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count, the number of unsheltered individuals in Norwalk dropped by 67% compared to 2024, and observed encampments fell by 45%. Since 2024, the City’s Social Services Department has connected more than 150 individuals to supportive agencies, of whom 108 have successfully transitioned into housing. The HOPE team continues to lead routine outreach across Norwalk, working closely with Social Services to connect residents in crisis with the care they need.
Below is an analysis of the Norwalk Homeless count data for the years 2023 through 2026:
• 2023: 101 individuals
• 2024: 198 individuals
• 2025: 69 individuals
• 2026: 120 individuals
The homeless count nearly doubled from 101 in 2023 to 198 in 2024, indicating a significant increase.
The count then sharply dropped to 69 in 2025, which is the lowest value in this four-year period. In 2026, the number increased again to 120 but did not return to the 2024 peak.
The City of Norwalk’s new Strategic Plan is reinforced by several guiding principles: to respond with urgency; maintain open channels of communication; foster cross-sector collaboration; adopt and promote best practices; and data driven decision-making. These principles will direct the 5 specific goals identified in the Plan:
1. Increase inventory of supportive housing.
2. Strengthen outreach efforts to provide a swift and targeted response.
3. Advance prevention programs to stop at –risk residents from falling into homelessness.
4. Improve data racking capabilities and report progress against performance measurements.
5. Drive better outcomes through communication efforts, legislative action, and funding optimization.

AP-75 Action Plan Barriers to Affordable Housing - 91.220(j) Introduction
With the absence of the Norwalk Redevelopment Agency, Low and Moderate Housing Set-Aside Funds and reduced CDBG and HOME Program funds, the City actively seeks replacement funding sources to recover lost funding in efforts to continue facilitating affordable housing. It is unlikely that the City will be able to recover 100% of funding that was lost. Despite this, the City will make attempts to seek replacement funding assistance for affordable housing and continue to implement initiatives outlined in the City's Housing Element.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
Favorable land use zoning codes for affordable housing include:
Reduced parking requirements for senior housing through the approval of a Planned Unit Development or Specific Plan Area.
The general commercial zone allows mixed use development permitting apartments in upper floors.
Special land use districts include senior housing at high density (up to 70 dwelling unit/acre)
Planned Unit Development and Specific Plans permit higher density for condominium units, which may bring housing ownership at an affordable cost.
Specific Plan Area 2 directly requires a fixed number of affordable rental units.
Provision of a Density Bonus Ordinance, Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance, and Reasonable Accommodation Ordinance.
Transitional and supportive housing and single room occupancy units allowed, by right or with a conditional use permit, within residential zones throughout the City.
City adopted separate regulations for Reasonable Accommodation Procedures (Section 17.02.202) that establish procedures for disabled persons or their representatives to request a reasonable accommodation from the City’s zoning laws, codes and land use regulations, policies, practices and procedures to provide disabled persons with an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling. The City will promote these new amendments to private and nonprofit housing developers to assist in removing barriers to affordable housing, especially housing for special needs populations.
The City adopted a new Housing Element for the planning period 2021-2029, the update incorporated additional policies for the creation of housing units at various levels with supportive programs for

AP-85 Other Actions - 91.220(k)
Introduction
The priority needs established in the ConPlan form the basis for establishing objectives and outcomes for the FY 2026-27 Annual Action Plan.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City of Norwalk proposes projects and activities to meet the priorities described in the ConPlan. It describes eligible programs, projects, and activities to be undertaken with anticipated funds and their relationship to identified needs for housing, homelessness, and community and economic development.
Overall, Norwalk has the following specific actions it plans to undertake to address the obstacles to meeting underserved needs over the 2026 program year:
• Fund projects that enhance economic opportunities such as job training and commercial improvements;
• Continued support of area nonprofit agencies, particularly those programs that provide services to homeless, at-risk youth, and residents facing housing insecurity; • Continued support of programs that improve the living environment of low- and moderate- income families residing in substandard housing and overcrowded living conditions; • Fund capital projects that enhance public facilities and or street improvements; • Continued support of Programs that expand the stock of affordable housing within the City; and • Continued support of Programs that promote fair housing, especially targeting extremely low- and low-income households.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City’s HOME and CHDO set-aside funds will be used to support future efforts for the acquisition of existing housing to provide affordable housing.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
Throughout Norwalk, 92% of all owner-occupied housing units and 75% of all renter-occupied units were built prior to 1980. That means 16,729 owner units and 7,031 renter units are at risk for lead-based paint hazards. Furthermore, children are most at risk for experiencing Lead-Based Paint related illnesses. Housing built before 1978 is considered at risk for lead-based paint hazards.
Therefore, special attention should be paid to homes built prior to 1978 where children are present.
Two percent of owner-occupied (315 units) homes and 4% of renter occupied homes (385), built prior to 1980, have children living in the home. Lead poisoning education and abatement efforts in Norwalk are provided through the cooperative efforts of the County Public Health Department. The abatement of lead-based hazards is a vital component of the City of Norwalk's Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families • Work with community colleges and high schools to establish or further carpentry, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical skills training. The construction industry is projected to increase. • Create mentoring programs with local skilled trades companies. • Improve education and provide skills training for education, healthcare, manufacturing and construction jobs.
• Create partnerships with California’s Employment Development Department, Workforce Development Board, Workforce Development Aging & Community Services, California Building Industry Association, Southern California Building Association, Cerritos Community College, Cypress College, Rio Hondo Community College, and workforce readiness programs available in local vocational and technical schools and programs. Such programs exist in the Junior Achievement of Southern California and the L.A. Opportunity Youth Collaborative. • Continue coordination with the Southeast Los Angeles County Workforce Investment Board, Department of Public Social Services, Employment Development Department, Adult Schools, YouthBuild, and Department of Rehabilitation through the America's Job Center of California System Management Team.
• Increase training opportunities that target “Second Chance”, persons with disabilities, at-risk homeless individuals, and job retraining program.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City’s Community Development Department will administer CDBG and HOME funds and most of the activities identified in the AAP, with the exception of public service programs. The City works closely with other housing-related organizations and service providers in the County to ensure that the housing needs of City residents are addressed given available resources.
The Department works in conjunction with the NHA to ensure quality housing for all low-income City residents. The working relationships between these organizations are strong and facilitative. Due to the City's relatively small size, communication is typically direct and immediate. As a result, gaps in program or service delivery are not the result of poor institutional structure or lack of intergovernmental cooperation, but rather due to shortcomings in available resources.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City’s Community Development Department maintains primary management and coordination of the various organizations involved in these processes. The staff within the Department work closely
Annual Action Plan
2026
43 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
with other City departments and the community to develop programs and activities that improve low- and moderate- income neighborhoods throughout Norwalk. The administration of program activities includes housing, public facility and infrastructure improvements, public and social service activities and economic development activities. The City collaborates with public agencies, for-profit agencies, and non-profit organizations in order to provide the aforementioned services.
The NHA is a member agency for America's Job Center of California and actively participates in a System Management Team (SMT). The goal of the SMT is to improve service coordination to better serve clients of the NHA, Workforce Development Board, Department of Rehabilitation, Department of Public Social Services, Employment Development Department, YouthBuild, and the adult schools. The SMT is engaging in staff cross-training across agencies and establishing a client referral and tracking system.
The services focus primarily on unemployed and underemployed low-income residents of Southeast Los Angeles County.
Chapter 8: Fair Housing Action Plan of the 2025 – 2030 Analysis of Impediments report details the importance of regional collaboration. Many issues, such as homelessness, affordable housing, jobs- housing balance, and access to services are issues that require the collaboration between cities, the County, and nonprofit agencies throughout the region. In recent years, the County and the City of Los Angeles have undertaken multiple initiatives that address housing-related issues including: first-time homebuyers programs, supportive and transitional housing, rental rehabilitation, and new construction of affordable housing. The City continues to rely on local and County social services to administer and provide valuable programs. The City collaborates annually with the Fair Housing Foundation (FHF) to conduct and react to any complaints surrounding housing discrimination and fair housing education and promotion.
Continuing these planning efforts and implementation would bridge the gap of disparities among communities. A majority of the Action Steps noted in AI report require collaboration. The Public Engagement planning process for the AI and 5-Year ConPlan was based upon positive community-wide and agency support and participation. The City has created a solid foundation to continue work with its area partners to create a path that initiates and completes the Plan’s action steps.

as follows:
The City of Norwalk is leveraging other forms of investments outside of those identified in section
92.205. The City uses program income from the repayment of deferred and amortized rehabilitation loans. Norwalk uses repayment for the First Time Homebuyer Program for loans obligated in 2001. The First Time Homebuyer program approved in PY2020 utilizes the resale and recapture of funds.
2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:
The guidelines for the First Time Homebuyer program are contained in the City of Norwalk HOME Homebuyer Manual. The sales price may not exceed the median price for the area as approved by HUD. A portion of the HOME assistance will carry-over into a silent second or third Trust Deed loan for the homebuyer.
There is a 15-year resale restriction. After which, the homeowner will receive a 100% loan forgiveness. Prior to the completion of the 15-year period if the home is sold, transferred, refinanced or no longer owner-occupied, the City will recapture the remaining loan balance where there are sufficient funds from the net proceeds of the sale. The homeowner's down payment, principal payments, and capital improvements will be recovered by the homeowner first before the City recovers the remaining balance of the deferred loan. If the net proceeds are not sufficient to recapture the full HOME investment plus enable the homeowner to recover the amount of the homeowner's investment, the City will reduce the amount of HOME investment. Examples of the recapture provision are provided in the HOME Program Homebuyer Manual, 2020-2021.
3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows:
The property will have a 15-year resale restriction requiring that the home be resold to another low- income buyer (Below 80% AMI). Homeowners can expect to receive a fair return on investment upon resale during the affordability period. Fair return on investment is based on the percentage change in the area median income over the period of home ownership. Included in the calculation of fair return on investment is the homeowner’s original investment (down payment, closing costs, and principal payments) and increase in market value attributable to major upgrades. Major upgrades include the addition of square footage, full remodel of kitchen and/or bathroom(s) and/or installation of solar panels. The value of the upgrade will be determined by the building permit valuation.
The City’s loan and covenant will be assumed by any future buyers and the loan will remain in place indefinitely. During the 15-year resale restriction, recapture of the homebuyer assistance will be triggered if the homeowner no longer occupies the home, or the home is sold or transferred without

approval of the City. After the resale restriction has expired, the homebuyer assistance will be recaptured upon sale, transfer, or refinance.
The City intends to utilize their HOME Homebuyer Manual as an alternate method to presumption of affordability. This manual was included as an attachment in Norwalk’s 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan.
4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows:
N/A
5. If applicable to a planned HOME TBRA activity, a description of the preference for persons with special needs or disabilities. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2)(i) and CFR 91.220(l)(2)(vii)).
6. If applicable to a planned HOME TBRA activity, a description of how the preference for a specific category of individuals with disabilities (e.g. persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic mental illness) will narrow the gap in benefits and the preference is needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services received by such persons. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2)(ii) and 91.220(l)(2)(vii)).
7. If applicable, a description of any preference or limitation for rental housing projects. (See 24 CFR
92.253(d)(3) and CFR 91.220(l)(2)(vii)). Note: Preferences cannot be administered in a manner that limits the opportunities of persons on any basis prohibited by the laws listed under 24 CFR 5.105(a).

March 17, 2026 – Public Hearing Comment received electronically
Good evening, Honorable Mayor and Council Members. My name is Mélanie Faure, Community Impact Manager at Upwards. On behalf of the Boost team, thank you for your continued commitment to Norwalk's in-home child care providers, and the families they serve. We are grateful to the Community Development team for recommending continued funding for Boost.
Boost strengthens low-to-moderate-income family child care providers by helping them run sustainable, growing businesses. Through personalized coaching and hands-on operational support, we help providers increase enrollment, stabilize revenue, create local Teaching Assistant jobs, and expand access to affordable, high-quality care for Norwalk families.
Here's how it works: each provider works one-on-one with an experienced Care Specialist to build a customized Business Action Plan. We help them improve marketing, manage finances, navigate licensing and insurance requirements, optimize enrollment, and recruit and hire staff. Providers also receive free access to our Child Care Management System: a tailored platform that streamlines enrollment, billing, marketing, communication (translation) and curriculum planning. Boost graduates retain at no cost beyond the program year.
Thanks to your investment, we are already ahead of schedule: we have delivered one-on-one business support to one in-home provider and supported the creation of one new Teaching Assistant position. Staff's recommendation of $20,000 would allow us to support up to three additional providers, create at least one new Teaching Assistant job, and help hundreds of Norwalk families connect with affordable, quality care.
Why Boost is needed: Norwalk faces a 5,226-slot child care capacity gap. Boost directly addresses this by helping providers, who currently earn an average of just $17.79 per hour, increase revenue, hire staff, improve quality, and grow sustainably.
Every family in Norwalk will have access to a Care Specialist who can help them find care tailored to their unique needs.
When a family child care home closes, the consequences extend far beyond the families it served. Parents scramble to find affordable alternatives, and many can't. The result: reduced work hours, workforce exits, and a burden that falls disproportionately on mothers and single parents. For Norwalk's economy, each closure means the loss of a small business, fewer jobs, and lower workforce participation. Over time, these losses
Annual Action Plan
2026
49 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
compound, slowing the economic growth of our community. Meanwhile, children lose access to quality early childhood education.
Boost is a proven solution. Across more than 30 communities, the program has supported over 500 licensed providers, created 180 new child care jobs, raised average gross revenues by 20–30%, and increased available child care slots by 30–50% depending on local context. Upwards’ goal is not simply to increase access to affordable care, but also improve the quality of care. (I can speak to this from my own personal experience, having found my boys’ amazing daycare teachers in LA through the Upwards’ platform long before I joined the team.)
I will send the Council a full impact report in the coming days, and welcome the opportunity to meet and discuss further.
Thank you for your time and your continued investment in Norwalk's small businesses and families.

City Council Agenda Report
May 5, 2026
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jesus M. Gomez, City Manager
BY: Jana Stuard, Director of Finance/City Treasurer
Jennifer Hernandez, Administrative Services Supervisor
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 26-20 - UPDATING USER AND REGULATORY FEES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027
Background:
In March 2025, the City completed an updated User and Regulatory Fee Study (“Study”), which was presented to the City Council for review for the first time since 2007. The updated Study established a revised schedule of user and regulatory fees that more accurately reflects the cost of services provided at the request of, or on behalf of, an individual party, rather than the public at large.
Following a public hearing, City Council adopted the updated fee schedule on April 1, 2025, through Resolution No. 25-13, making the adopted fees effective on July 1, 2025. In addition to adopting the updated fees, Resolution No. 25-13 established a policy for the annual review and adjustment of the fee schedule based on the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Riverside area, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor. The CPI adjustment is calculated based on the change from March of the prior year to March of the current year and is intended to ensure that fees continue to reasonably recover the cost of providing services in the upcoming fiscal year. This annual update is intended to maintain the fee schedule in between major studies, which are recommended to occur every five to seven years.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 25-13 and in compliance with Norwalk Municipal Code Section
3.40.010, the City is presenting a proposed updated fee schedule to take effect on July 6, 2026.
The proposed update reflects a 3.4% increase to applicable user fees based on the CPI adjustment. Certain fees are not subject to CPI adjustments and will remain unchanged, such as:
Select building and plan check fees
Fines and penalties

Resolution No. 26-20 – Adoption of Fees Page No. 2

6 3
Pet license fees
Fees established by the State
Pass-through fees
Social Services fees
Fiscal Impact:
The proposed update to the City’s User and Regulatory Fee Schedule maintains cost recovery for services, reflecting a 3.4% CPI-based increase per City Council Resolution No. 25-13.
Effective July 6, 2026, the changes are expected to modestly increase General Fund revenue, helping offset rising service delivery costs such as personnel, materials, and administration. The adjustments are not intended to generate revenue beyond full cost recovery. Fees not tied to CPI will remain unchanged.
Citizens Advised:
Notice of Public Hearing regarding the adjustment of fees and service charges was published in the Norwalk Patriot on April 24, 2026. Additionally, notice was posted at City Hall.
Strategic Plan 2023 Implementation:
The recommended actions will further the City’s 2023 Strategic Plan Goal 3, Create and Sustain a Resilient and Economically Prosperous City.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommend City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-20, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NORWALK UPDATING USER AND REGULATORY FEES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NORWALK UPDATING USER AND REGULATORY FEES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026- 2027
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to comply with both the letter and the spirit of the California Constitution and limit the growth of taxes, by shifting, where possible, the burden of special regulatory programs and services and products to applicants and the recipients of the benefits thereof; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the Norwalk Municipal Code, City Council further desires to continue its established policy of recovering the full costs reasonably borne of providing special services and programs of a voluntary and limited nature, and regulatory services deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety or welfare, such that general taxes are not diverted from general services of a broad nature and thereby utilized to subsidize unfairly and inequitably such special services; and WHEREAS, in accordance with the Norwalk Municipal Code, City Council further desires to increase certain existing fees to more accurately reflect the current costs of providing such special and regulatory services and programs, and to establish fees to offset the expense of providing those special and regulatory services and programs heretofore provided at less than the costs reasonably borne by the City for the same services; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Norwalk Municipal Code, City Council further desires to continue its policy regarding charges to be recovered from users of certain City services, and beneficiaries of certain City programs, which City Council has determined are particularly important to protection of the public health, safety and welfare, and to direct City staff as to the methodology for implementing this direction to encourage certain users of City services to obtain permits and inspections; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Sections 66014, 66017 and 66018 and the Norwalk Municipal Code, the specific fees to be charged for certain regulations, services and products must be adopted by resolution, following notice and public hearing; and
WHEREAS, notice of public hearing has been given pursuant to Government Code Section 6062a, and written notice has been provided to interested parties who filed written requests for mailed notice of meetings on new or increased development-related fees or service charges, and written presentations made and received, and the required public hearing was held on May 5, 2026; and
WHEREAS, a schedule of fees and charges to be paid by those requesting such special services and products, and who are the recipients of the benefits of certain City Resolution No. 26-20 Page 2 of 52
4 7
8 6
regulatory programs, must be adopted so that the City might carry in to effect its policies; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of City Council to annually develop and adopt a revised schedule of fees and charges, based upon the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles-Long Beach- Riverside areas as published by the U.S. Department of Labor from March of the prior year to March of the current year to project costs reasonably borne for the new fiscal year beginning July 1st of each year. This revision, however, will occur only if the Consumer Price Index causes fees to increase, if it causes a decrease, no revision shall be made.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NORWALK HEREBY DETERMINES, FINDS, AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Adoption and Incorporation of Recitals. The recitals set forth above are true and correct and are incorporated herein.
Section 2. Adoption of Fees and Charges. The City Council hereby approves and adopts the fees and charges for regulations, services and products set forth in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The City Council finds that, except where such fees and charges have been reduced or subsidized pursuant to Section 5 of this Resolution, the fees and charges established herein do not exceed the estimated, reasonable costs incurred by the City in providing the regulations, services and products to which each such fee or charge applies.
Section 3. Methodology for Calculation and Collection of Fees and Charges. The fees and charges established herein shall be calculated and collected in accordance with Norwalk Municipal Code, the Report, and otherwise as follows:
A. Each fee and charge established herein is for an identified regulation, service or product; additional fees shall be required for each additional regulation, service or product that is requested or required.
B. Where fees or charges are indicated on a per unit of measurement basis, the fee is for each identified unit or portion thereof within the indicated range of such units.
C. The fees or charges due shall be calculated by the various City department(s), and shall be collected prior to the City’s performance of the services, unless a written agreement is entered into for deferral of such fees, or unless otherwise provided herein.
D. Where a deposit is required for the performance of a special service, the applicant shall post the deposit in accordance with Norwalk Municipal Code or other City regulation and/or an actual cost based on contracted services. Where an additional deposit is required, the applicant shall post that amount estimated by City staff to cover the balance of the services to be performed. The City is not obligated to, but may, continue processing the application, until such time as additional deposit is made. Where Resolution No. 26-20 Page 3 of 52
4 7
8 6
an additional deposit is required for completed services, or where a refund of excess deposited monies is due, and where such charge or refund is ten dollars ($10.00) or less, a charge or refund need not be made.
E. Where contracted personnel (including, without limitation Planning and/or Engineering staff, or outside special services) are utilized, or where requested dedicated contracted personnel are required or provided at an applicant’s request, the actual time spent by that contracted personnel or services, at the rates and on the terms applicable to the services provided shall be paid by the applicant.
Section 4. Subsidized Fees. The City Council finds and determines that in order to promote the public health, safety and welfare, and to encourage certain users to obtain required permits and inspections, and to exercise their rights of appeal and redress, it is desirable and necessary to provide a general fund subsidy of certain fees and charges. In effecting this policy, the City Council approves and adopts the subsidized fees set forth in Exhibit “A” hereto.
Section 5. Effective Date. The fees or charges established pursuant to this Resolution shall become effective on July 6, 2026.
Section 6. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Resolution or any part hereof is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this Resolution or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
Section 7.The Mayor, or presiding officer, is hereby authorized to affix her signature to this Resolution signifying its adoption by the City Council of the City of Norwalk and the City Clerk, or her duly appointed assistant, is directed to attest thereto.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED on this 5th day of May 2026.

Determination of Valuation for Fee-Setting Purposes
● Project valuaƟons shall be based on the total value of all construcƟon work, including all finish work, roofing, electrical, plumbing, heaƟng, air conditioning, elevators, fire-extinguishing systems and any other permanent equipment. If, in the opinion of the Building Official, the valuation is underestimated on the application, the permit shall be denied, unless the applicant can show detailed estimates to meet the approval of the Building Official. Final building permit valuation shall be set by the Building Official. For determining project valuations for new construction, and improvements to existing construction, the Building Official may use data published by the International Code Council (ICC) (building valuation data table, typically updated in February and August of each year) and/or data published by Marshall Swift Valuation Service. The final building permit valuation shall be set at an amount that allows the City to recover its costs of applicant plan check, permit and inspection activities.
Note: For construction projects with permit fees calculated using Section B, additional fees apply for permit issuance. Additional fees may apply for services provided by other City Departments (e.g. Planning Review), and Fees Collected on Behalf of Other Agencies (e.g. State of California). Additional fees apply for plan review, when applicable.

FOR BUILDINGS DEMOLITION LOCATED AT NORWALK TRANSIT VILLAGE, 13200 BLOOMFIELD AVENUE / RESOLUTION NO. 26-18 BUDGET
AMENDMENT, ENGINEER'S REPORT NO. 26-17
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).
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 that 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.
Per the terms of the PSA on July 24, 2025, the City closed escrow on the property. As set forth in the DDA by and between the City and Lewis Land Developers, LLC (“Developer”), Section
2.13 “Demolition Work/Remediation Work”, the City is now required to demolish and clear all the structures on the site before turning the prepared site over to the Developer. As the demolition involves some abatement activities, the completion of the entire abatement, demolition, and remediation is expected to occur by December 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.
On February 6, 2026, staff solicited for construction bids for the Buildings Demolition Located at Norwalk Transit Village: 13200 Bloomfield Avenue – Project No. 7859. The scope of work includes demolition of all existing buildings, structures, foundations, paved surfaces and hardscapes, chain-link fencing, underground utility pipes, irrigation lines, and conduits.
On February 20, 2026, a mandatory pre-bid meeting was held to ensure bidders reviewed the project scope, assessed the site conditions, and understood the contract requirements. On February 23, 2026, a second, non-mandatory meeting was held to provide access to previously locked buildings and allow potential bidders to review existing conditions inside the buildings.
On March 19, 2026, the City received nine bids, which were publicly opened. Seven bids were found to be non-responsive. Due to the size of the site and the unknown history of the property that was previously controlled by the State, the City used a bid evaluation that included 30 base bid items (Contract Amount), 33-unit price items, and an overhead daily rate item. This methodology helped the City to obtain the combination of the lowest base bid plus the lowest unit pricing and extended daily overhead rate should the project run into unforeseen conditions during the course of the demolition project. Below are the responsive bid results:

Staff conducted a bid analysis, including checks to the contractor’s state licensing, Department of Industrial Relations registration, state and federal debarment list, and reference checks. As a result, staff recommend awarding the project to the lowest responsive bidder, Precision Environmental.

The following is an estimated cost breakdown of the total project costs:
Construction Cost: $ 2,639,950
Contingency (25%): $ 659,988
Subtotal: $ 3,299,938
Administration (5%): $ 164,997
Total Estimated Cost: $ 3,464,935
From issuance of the Notice to Proceed, the projected start date is late May 2026 and project completion is anticipated to be December 2026.
Environmental Assessment: On November 19, 2024, the City Council adopted the Norwalk Transit Village Specific Plan (NTV) and certified the Final EIR (FEIR) and approved a Mitigation and Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) and adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations in connection with the NTV through City Council Resolution No. 24-58 (SCH No. 2022070103).
The City Council action to award the demolition contract for Project No. 7859 which involves abatement, demolition, and remediation activities on the site were evaluated in the FEIR and relevant mitigation measures incorporated in the Council adopted MMRP. As such, no further CEQA review is required at this time.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. A budget amendment from available Low-and Moderate-Income Asset bond proceeds in the amount of $1,385,974 and Former Redevelopment Agency Non-Housing bond proceeds in the amount of $2,078,961 is needed for the construction services.
Pursuant to the DDA, Lewis will be responsible for the payment of all third-party costs associated with the demolition and remediation activities on the site and the evidence of the site clean-up satisfactory to the City, Lewis, and state regulatory agency. This will occur upon the close of escrow between the City and Lewis which is anticipated in late 2026 or early 2027.

SUBJECT: EXTEND 2026 FIREWORKS SALES FROM JUNE 30 – JULY 4 Background:
This year marks a significant national milestone, commemorating the United States Semiquincentennial (250th anniversary) of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. This historic occasion is expected to be celebrated nationwide with enhanced community events, civic engagement, and patriotic activities.
In the City, fireworks have long been an integral part of Independence Day traditions, contributing to community engagement and local nonprofit fundraising efforts through the sale of safe and sane fireworks.
Pursuant to Norwalk Municipal Code (NMC) Section 5.36.070, the sale of safe and sane fireworks is currently permitted from July 1 through July 4, between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.
In recognition of the Semiquincentennial and the anticipated increase in public participation, staff proposes a one-time exception to allow fireworks sales to commence on June 30, 2026, while upholding all regulations, including permissible sales hours and operational requirements, which would remain unchanged.
Fiscal Impact:
The larger window of time for firework sales may see an increase in sales tax revenues.
However, the City may incur increased costs if additional Public Safety presence is needed to assist with compliance.
