City Council Agenda Report
June 2, 2026
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jesus M. Gomez, City Manager
BY: Jennifer Hernandez, Administrative Services Supervisor SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 26-22 - ADOPTING PURCHASING POLICY FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026/27
Background:

The City is required to annually update its Purchasing Policy in accordance with the Norwalk Municipal Code (“NMC”) Chapter 3.16 to effectively administer the purchasing ordinance.

This update may include competitive bidding, purchasing practices, related administrative authority, etc. One such change to be considered each year is a change in the Purchase Authority authorization limit – the limit for which purchases may be approved of by the Purchasing Authority (City Manager) without City Council approval, as long as there is available funding in the Adopted Budget.

In accordance with NMC §3.16.060, the Purchasing Authority authorization limit is to be “automatically adjusted on July 1, 2021, and each July 1st annually thereafter based upon the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for the Los Angeles-Anaheim-Riverside area as published by the U.S. Department of Labor from March of the prior year to March of the current year.”
The attached Purchasing Policy, Exhibit A to Resolution No. 26-22, reflects the annual update to the Purchasing Policy for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026/27 effective July 1, 2026.

The Purchasing Policy, for FY 2026/27 has the following changes:

Authorization limits - The Purchasing Authority (City Manager) authorization limit is established at $42,000. This represents an increase of 3.4% from FY 2026 level of $40,600 and is based on the increase from the March 2025 to March 2026 Consumer

Price Index (“CPI”) for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area as required by NMC §3.16.060.

City expenditures of $9,300 or less in any one transaction will not require a purchase order. This represents a 3.4% increase from the prior level of $9,000 based on the increase in CPI and rounded to the nearest hundred.
Streamlined procedures for the purchase of capital outlay items to minimize the duration between solicitation and purchase.

Emergency purchases (non Public Works)
Purchases made in order to protect the health, welfare or safety of the community. a. Emergency purchases must be cleared by the Purchasing Authority and will receive a purchase order number. This number must be given to the vendor for use on the packing slip or invoice.
b. If the Finance Department is closed and an emergency purchase has to be made, the Department must inform the Finance Department as soon as possible after it happens. A purchase order number will be assigned and the vendor notified of the number.
c.The City Manager or designee shall provide a full report on the emergency and work performed at the next meeting of the City Council, at which time the City Council must confirm such action by a four-fifths vote, and further determine appropriate action such as, but not limited to, whether work should continue without the benefit of informal or formal bidding.

Emergency purchases Public Works
In emergency situations, the competitive bidding procedure does not have to be observed if requirements of Sections 20168 and 22050 of the Public Contract Code are met. To ensure that all legal requirements are satisfied, the project manager must review pertinent provisions of the Public Contract Code and consult the City Attorney. Key provisions are as follows:
a. In the case of an emergency, the City Council may pass a resolution by a four- fifths vote declaring that the public interest and necessity demand the immediate expenditure of public funds to safeguard life, health, or property. b. Upon adoption of the resolution, the Council may expend any sum required in the emergency to repair or replace a public facility, take any directly related and immediate action required by that emergency, and procure the necessary equipment, services, and supplies, without giving notice for bids to let contracts.

Resolution No. 26-22 Page 31 of 52
c. Before taking any action, the Council must make a finding, based on substantial evidence set forth in the minutes of its meeting, that the emergency will not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids, and that the action is necessary to respond to the emergency.
d. The Council, by a four-fifths vote, may delegate, by resolution or ordinance, to the City Manager, City Engineer, or other non-elected officer, the authority to order any action.
e. If a person with authority orders any action, that person must report to the Council, at its next meeting, the reasons justifying why the emergency will not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids and why the action is necessary to respond to the emergency.
f. If the Council orders any action, it must review the emergency action at its next regularly scheduled meeting and at every regularly scheduled meeting thereafter until the action is terminated, to determine, by a four-fifths vote, that there is a need to continue the action.
g. If a person with authority orders any action, the Council must initially review the emergency action not later than seven days after the action, or at its next regularly scheduled meeting if that meeting will occur not later than 14 days after the action, and at least at every regularly scheduled meeting thereafter until the action is terminated, to determine, by a four-fifths vote, that there is a need to continue the action, unless a person with authority has terminated that action prior to the Council reviewing the emergency action and making a determination. h. When the Council reviews the emergency action, it must terminate the action at the earliest possible date that conditions warrant so that the remainder of the emergency action may be completed by giving notice for bids to let contracts.

CITY OF NORWALK PURCHASING CARD PROGRAM POLICY, PROCEDURES,

AND CARDHOLDER INSTRUCTIONS

BACKGROUND
The City uses a variety of methods to procure goods and services, but relies to a large extent on the standard purchase order process - an essential financial control which works very well for large purchases, but not as well for day-to-day needs.

To facilitate these small dollar day-to-day purchases, the City of Norwalk has entered into a purchasing card agreement with US Bank. The City’s program is based upon the State of California’s “Cal-Card” Purchasing Card Program. The purchasing card program is designed to provide a fast, safe, and cost-effective purchasing method. It reduces the need for purchase orders and increases the documentation and tracking of purchases while encouraging more vendors to trade with the City.

Purchasing cards are assigned to selected employees who need to purchase supplies and services in the course of their duties. A number of unique controls have been developed for this program, controls that do not exist for traditional credit cards. These controls ensure that the purchasing card can be used only for specific purposes and within specific dollar limits. Cardholders are required to certify each purchase and a City official verifies the appropriateness of each purchase.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to establish guidelines for the issuance and use of purchasing cards and to accomplish the following:

1. To improve efficiency by reducing the need for small dollar purchase orders.

2. To establish appropriate internal controls.

3. To ensure that all purchases made with the cards conform to the City's purchasing ordinances and policies.

4. To ensure that the City bears no legal liability from inappropriate use of purchasing cards.

GENERAL INFORMATION and DEFINITIONS
The City’s purchasing card program conforms to and operates jointly with the bank’s purchasing card program. The responsibilities of the two entities and the responsibilities of the cardholders are outlined below.

1. Bank - The Bank issues the purchasing cards, monitors the system to verify that purchases fall within parameters established by the City, and provides monthly billing reports and other billing information as needed.

2. The Purchasing Card - The purchasing card contains the individual employee's name, the City's name, the card account number, and an expiration date.

3. Purchasing Agent - The Purchasing Agent has overall responsibility for the Resolution No. 26-22 Page 43 of 52
program. He or she is the overall program administrator and bank liaison, responsible for accumulating, reporting, and coordinating all information to the participants, and to the City Council.

4. Finance Department Staff - The Finance Staff verifies that each cardholder submits appropriate documentation including authorization of Approving Official in a timely manner. Account codes are reviewed for accuracy and monthly statements are paid.

5. Approving Official - The Approving Official is responsible for reviewing the charges made by employees within his/her department or unit to ensure that all purchases made by cardholders in his/her area are appropriate, comply with applicable policies, and are properly documented. Ultimately, the City Manager, Department Directors and Division Managers are deemed Responsible Officials for the purposes of this program.

6. Cardholder - The cardholder is the employee whose name is imprinted on the card.

He or she is responsible for ensuring the card is used appropriately.

CONTROLS
A number of unique controls have been developed for this program that do not exist for traditional credit cards.

1. The purchasing card will have both the employee’s name and the City of Norwalk’s name imprinted on it.

2. Cardholder Only - No one but the cardholder may use the card.

3. Special Design – The card has been designed to avoid confusing it with the cardholder’s personal credit card. In all other respects, it is considered a regular credit card.

4. Specific Purposes and Amounts – Guidelines have been established to ensure that the purchasing card can be used only for specific purposes and within specific dollar limits.

5. Certification - Cardholders are required to review the monthly statements and certify each purchase as proper and appropriate.

6. Supervisory Verification – The Approving Official for the cardholder verifies the appropriateness of each purchase.

7. Management Oversight - The Purchasing Agent is responsible for the overall administration of the City’s purchasing card program. However, the Approving Official, as well as Department Directors performs key oversight and supervisory functions.

DISCIPLINE

1. Any employee who uses the card in an improper or illegal manner is subject to discipline up to and including termination.

Resolution No. 26-22 Page 44 of 52

2. Any employee who uses the card in violation of a law may be criminally prosecuted.

CARDHOLDER SPENDING LIMITS
Spending limits may vary, depending upon the duties and types of purchases required of the employee.

1. Individual Card Limits – Single purchase limits and monthly purchase limits have been established. Each time a cardholder uses his or her card to make a purchase, these limits are automatically checked. Authorization is denied if the purchase amount exceeds the limits.

2. General Limits - the City's limits for purchasing cards are as follows:
a. Single Purchase Limit: $1,000
b. 30-Day Total Limit: $9,300

3. Limits - A cardholder’s purchasing limits will be increased or lowered at the direction of the Approving Official, Department Director or City Manager.

4. Cancellation - A card will be cancelled at the direction of the Approving Official, Department Director or City Manager.

CARD RESTRICTIONS

The Approving Official must review each cardholder's purchases and the actions of the merchant who made the sale, in order to determine if the items were for official use and are allowed to be purchased within this program.

If any items purchased with the card are defective or the repair and/or service is faulty, the cardholder is responsible for resolving the problem with the merchant. If the merchant refuses to replace or correct the faulty item or to give the cardholder credit for its return, then the purchase is considered to be in dispute.

CITY OF NORWALK

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
Fiscal Year 2026/2027
I. PURPOSE
This statement is intended to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the City of Norwalk (the City) temporary idle cash and outline the procedures for maximizing the efficiency of the City' s cash management system. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while safeguarding its assets. This inv estment policy has been prepared so as to be in conformance with all pertinent ex isting laws of the State of California for General Law cities.

II. OBJECTIVE
The Cit y's cash management system is designed to ac curately monitor and forecast revenues and expenditures, thus enabling the City to invest funds to the fullest extent possible only after the criteria established for safety and liquidity have been met.

The City strives to maintain the level of investment of all idle funds as near 100% as possible, through daily and projected cash flow determinations. Idle cash management and investment transactions are the responsibility of the City Treasurer.

Criteria for selecting investments and the order of priority are:

1. Safety
Saf
ety and the minimizing of risk associated with investing refers to attempts to reduce the potential for loss of principal, interest or a combination of the two.

The first level of risk controls is found in state laws, which restricts the particular type of permissible investments for municipalities. The second level of risk control is the reduction of default risk by investing in instruments that appear to be the most creditworthy. The third level of risk control is the reduction of market risk by investing in instruments that have relatively short maturities, thereby eliminating the risk of loss from a forced sale. The City only invests in those instruments that are considered very safe.

2. Liquidity
Liqui
dity refers to the ability to easily sell at any time with a minimal risk of losing some portion of principal or interest. Liquidity is an important quality for an investment to have, for at any time the City may have unexpected or unusual

PAGE 2 of 9
circumstances that result in larger disbursements than expected, and some investments may need to be sold to meet the contingency.

3. Yield

Yield is the potential dollar earnings an investment can provide, and also is sometimes described as the rate of return. The City attempts to obtain the highest yield possible when selecting an investment, provided that the criteria stated herein for safety and liquidity are met.

4. Safekeeping

Securities purchased shall be held in a third party safekeeping account in the City's name and control.

The basic premise underlying the City 's investment philosophy is, and continues to be, to insure that surplus funds are always safe and available when needed.

III. DELEGATION OF INVESTMENT AUTHORITY

The City’s Legislative body by resolution has delegated to the City Treasurer the authority to invest idle funds subject to the limitations set forth in the Investment Policy.

The City Treasurer will establish an investment program consistent with this Investment Policy. The investment program shall include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for investment transactions. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the City Treasurer. The City Treasurer shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials.

IV. PRUDENCE

Investments shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs; not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be derived. The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the "prudent investor" standard (California Government Code Section 53600.3) and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. Investment officers acting in accordance with written procedures and the Investment Policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.

PAGE 3 of 9
V. AUTHORIZED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND DEALERS

The City Treasurer will select broker/dealers of government securities and other investments on the basis of creditworthiness, financial strength, experience and minimum capitalization and who are authorized to provide investment and financial advisory services in the State of California. No public deposit shall be made except in a qualified public depository as established by state laws. The City Treasurer shall select only broker/dealers who are licensed and in good standing with the California Department of Securities, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers or other applicable self-regulatory organizations.

Before engaging in investment transactions with a broker/dealer, the City Treasurer shall have received from said firm a signed Certification Form. This form shall attest that the individual responsible for the City of Norwalk's account with that firm has reviewed the Cit y's Investment Policy and that the firm understands the policy and intends to present investment recommendations and transactions to the City that are appropriate under the terms and conditions of the Investment Policy.

VI. AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS

City active and inactive deposits may be kept in checking accounts and savings accounts at financial institutions as identified in California State Government Code Section 53648 provided that they are adequately secured with proper collateral as prescribed by Government Code Sections 53656 and/or 53658.

VIII. CITY CONSTRAINTS

The City Treasurer will evaluate local financial institutions and may invest idle cash funds with such institutions when the criteria for prudent investment are met. The City favors doing business with institutions that maintain at least a branch office in Norwalk.

The City operates its investment pool according to State and self -imposed constraints.

It does not buy stocks; it does not speculate; it does not deal in futures or options. The City does not invest in prohibited investments as identified in Sections 53601.6 and 53631.5 of the California Government Code, such as inverse floaters, range notes, or interest only strips that are derived from a pool of mortgages. Any investment extending beyond a five-year period requires prior City Council’s approval.

PAGE 8 of 9
T
he City will diversify use of investment instruments to avoid incurring unreasonable risks inherent in over investing in specific instruments, individual financial institutions or maturities. Diversification strategies shall be determined and revised periodically. In establishing specific diversification strategies, the following general policies and constraints shall apply:
a. Portfolio maturities shall be matched versus liabilities to avoid undue concentration in a specific maturity sector.
b. Maturities selected shall provide for stability of income and liquidity.

IX. S

AFEKEEPING AND COLLATERALIZATION
A
ll transactions, including collateral for repurchase agreements, entered into by the City shall be conducted on a delivery -versus-payment (DVP) basis. Securities will be held by the third party custodian designated by the City Treasurer in the City’s name and control.

C
ollateralization will be required on demand deposits, certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements. In order to anticipate market changes and provide a level of security for all funds, a minimum collateralization level is required.

S
urplus funds can only be deposited in state or national banks, state or federal savings associations, or state or federal credit unions within the State of California. The deposits cannot exceed the amount of the bank's or savings and loan's paid- up capital and surplus. The bank or savings and loan must secure public funds deposits with eligible securities having a market value of 110% of the total amount of the deposits.

State law also allows as an eligible security, first trust deeds having a value of 150% of the total amount of the deposits. Repurchase agreements shall be collateralized with securities authorized by the Government Code, which shall be no less than 102% of the market value of the securities that underlay the repurchase agreement.

T
he City Treasurer may waive security for that portion of a deposit, which is insured pursuant to Federal law. Currently, the first $100,000 of a deposit is federally insured.

Deposits in excess of $100,000 are required to be collateralized as previously indicated.

INVESTMENT PROGRAM

INVESTMENT GUIDELINES

Cash Availability Guidelines:

1. A cash flow analysis shall be developed which will serve as a basis for determining the cash available for investment and maturity dates needed to cover future disbursements.

2. Revenue receipts are consolidated into one bank account and invested on a pooled concept basis. Interest earnings are allocated according to fund cash and investment balances.

3. Active bank balances are kept as low as possible without jeopardizing good banking relationships by maintaining investment of available cash as near to 100% as possible.

4. Sufficient funds are maintained in very liquid investments to meet most unexpected contingencies.

Investing Guidelines:

1. Only investments authorized by this Investment Policy are to be utilized.

2. A copy of this Investment Policy should be given to each broker/dealer with whom the City does business.

3. Before an unfamiliar security is purchased, the issuer and the instrument is researched and investigated and all contractual agreements and administrative procedures are completed before any transactions are consummated.

4. Every investment transaction is documented and the procedure for monitoring is clearly defined.

5. Investment strategies are reviewed by the City Treasurer for possible need to change at least annually. They are reviewed more frequently as changes in economic conditions dictate.

6. The City Treasurer will make an effort to diversify the investment portfolio as indicated in the investment policy. However, the Cit y's cash flows and liquidity needs, along with the additional time and effort that is required to purchase new investments, need to be strongly considered before making an investment just to diversify. This diversification strategy does not pertain to component units.

PAGE 2 OF 4

7. The City does not permit the purchase of securities on margin or via reverse repurchase agreements (using the security to be purchased as collateral), the City does not enter into reverse repurchase agreements under any circumstances.

8. Under the provisions of CGC 53601.6 and 53631.5, the City shall not invest any funds covered by this Investment Policy in inverse floaters, range notes, interest only strips derived from mortgage pools or any investment that may result in a zero interest accrual if held to maturity.

Guidelines for Certain Types of Investments:

Investment Pools - In the State of California, there are provisions for the creation and operation of a government investment pool. The purpose of the pool is to allow political subdivisions to pool investable funds in order to achieve a potentially higher yield. The City will utilize guidelines established by the California Municipal Treasurers Association and the California Society of Municipal Finance Officers for evaluation before entering any new pool (other than LAIF). Agency Board must grant prior approval of the use of any new government pool.

INTERNAL CONTROL OBJECTIVES FOR INVESTMENTS

Internal control for investments is the procedure established by management of the City to assist in ensuring as far as practicable:

1. An orderly and efficient conduct of investing, including adherence to investment policies.

2. The safeguarding of assets.

3. The accuracy and completeness of the accounting records for investments.

4. The timely preparation of reliable financial information.

5. The prevention of errors.

6. The detection of fraud.

PAGE 3 OF 4
Elements of Internal Control for Investments:

Adherence to the use of sufficient elements of a system of internal control is the method by which the City can satisfy the objective of internal control. A list of sample elements follows:

1. Responsibility

Specific responsibility for the performance of duties should be assigned and lines of authority and reporting clearly identified and understood.

2. Segregation of Functions

Segregation of functions reduces the risk that a person is in a position to conceal errors if different people handle two parts of a transaction; collusion is necessary to conceal errors or fraud. In particular, the functions that should be considered when evaluating segregation of functions are authorization, execution, recording, and performing reconciliations.

3. Authorization

All transactions should be authorized by an appropriate responsible individual.

The responsibilities and limits of authorization should be clearly delineated.

Delegation of authority to authorize transactions should be handled very carefully.

4. Transfers of Investment Funds

The transferring of investment funds will be carried exclusively by use of the Federal Reserve Bank's electronic wire transfer system. Each Banker or Dealer with whom the City does business shall receive in writing from the City Treasurer a listing which limits transfers of funds to preauthorized bank accounts only.

The listing will also contain the names of the City staff authorized to request such transfers and will be updated in writing for all changes of authorized staff and bank accounts as necessary.

5. Recording

The recording system should provide that the recording procedures, both manual and EDP, be carried out independently of the individual doing the investment execution to help assure that recorded transactions are complete, valid, authorized and properly recorded.

SUBJECT: CONFIRM EMERGENCY SERVICE WORK ON PRESSURE REDUCING

STATIONS FOR WATER SYSTEMS
Background:

The Norwalk Municipal Water System (“NMWS”) relies on pressure reducing valves installed throughout the city to regulate water pressure, protect infrastructure, and maintain operational efficiency. During routine system operations, several pressure reducing valves were identified as requiring immediate maintenance and rebuilding services in order to keep the system functioning properly, prevent potential service disruptions, pressure fluctuations, and prevent damage to the distribution system. Due to the urgent nature of the work, emergency maintenance and rebuild services were necessary to restore the valves to a reliable operating condition.

Griswold Industries, the City's designated contractor for pressure reducing valve components, was utilized to perform the emergency services. Over a three-week period, maintenance and rebuild services were completed at five locations, with all pressure reducing valve components restored to full operation. The work included installation of main valve and pilot rubber rebuild kits and the performance of preventative maintenance necessary to maintain continued system reliability. Due to the extent of the emergency repairs and rising maintenance and rebuilding costs, additional funding is required to pay the outstanding invoices. The five locations where emergency work was performed are as follows:
13612 San Antonio Drive
11723 Rosecrans Avenue
13903 Sylanwood Avenue
11542 Lowemont Street
12601 Norwalk Boulevard

SUBJECT: CONFIRM EMERGENCY WATERLINE WORK - 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: AWARD CONTRACT FOR PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

SERVICES FOR HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING UNITS

CITYWIDE
Background:

In March 2026, the City issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) seeking qualified vendors to provide annual citywide preventive maintenance and repair services for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, as well as as-needed preventative maintenance for ice machines located in City facilities.

Preventive maintenance services for HVAC units and ice machines Citywide, respectively, includes, but is not limited to furnishing all labor, miscellaneous parts, materials, supplies, and equipment necessary to maintain the mechanical systems in proper operating conditions. Such services include the provisions of belts, air filters, valve packings, lubricants, tools, paint, refrigerants, test instruments, meters, temperature control devices; inspection of water lines, electrical components, and drainage systems; descaling; cleaning of condensers and evaporator coils, inspection and testing of harvest cycles and water pressure, and replacement of filters, gaskets, and other minor components as necessary to ensure proper operation and other incidental materials required to complete the work.

Four bids were received from the following vendors:

Vendor Name Bid Amount
Tri-West Mechanical, Inc. $ 42,700.00
Mesa Energy Systems, Inc. $ 114,946.00
Race Engineering $ 157,043.00
MEP Fusion $ 288,065.70
Tri-West Mechanical, Inc. (Tri-West) of Whittier, CA, was determined to be the lowest bidder. In addition to submitting the lowest bid for citywide HVAC preventive maintenance and repair services, Tri-West also submitted the lowest bid for citywide preventive maintenance services for ice machines. Staff is recommending award to Tri-West based not only on the competitive pricing submitted, but also on the company’s demonstrated experience, responsiveness, and familiarity with City facilities and equipment through their ongoing work with the City.

Although Tri-West submitted the lowest responsive and responsible bid for preventative maintenance services, the requested not-to-exceed amount is higher than the base bid amount to account for as-needed repair services for both HVAC systems and ice machines that may arise throughout the contract term. The bid pricing primarily reflects scheduled preventative maintenance services; however, additional funding authority is necessary to allow the City to address unforeseen repairs, emergency service calls, replacement parts, and operational needs on an as-needed basis without interruption to facility operations.

Fiscal Impact:

The FY 2026/27 proposed budget includes continued funding for citywide preventive maintenance services and repairs for HVAC systems and citywide preventive maintenance services for ice machines located at City facilities.

Citizens Advised:

SUBJECT: AGREEMENT AMENDMENT NO. 6 – TREE MAINTENANCE SERVICES –

EXTENDING TERM TO MONTH-TO-MONTH
Background:

Since June 1997, the City has contracted with West Coast Arborists, Inc. (WCA) to provide citywide tree maintenance services. The scope of work includes the trimming, pruning, and removal of City-owned trees, as well as emergency services as directed by the City. WCA also prepares arborist reports upon request. The agreement has been amended several times over the years, most recently in May 27, 2025, when City Council approved an adjustment to compensation and extended the agreement for an additional one-year term.

Over the course of nearly three decades, the City and WCA have established a strong and effective working relationship focused on maintenance, preservation, and enhancement of the City’s urban forest. WCA has consistently demonstrated responsive and professional services in support of the City’s tree maintenance operations.

The City recently released an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for future citywide tree maintenance services. Staff is currently reviewing submitted bids and completing the evaluation process and anticipate returning to City Council with a recommendation for award upon completion of the competitive solicitation process.

To ensure continuity of essential tree maintenance services during the interim period and avoid any disruption in service, staff is requesting authorization to amend the current agreement with WCA to continue services on a month-to-month basis under the existing terms and conditions until the IFB process is completed and a new agreement is awarded. Consistent with the

SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AGREEMENT FOR ON-CALL COMMUNITY

DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANT AND ADDITIONAL SERVICES
Background:

On November 7, 2023, City Council approved agreements with 27 firms to provide on-call Community Development Consultant and Additional Services intended to support Community Development and other City departments with staff augmentation services, priority projects, long-range planning projects, technical review, and environmental studies. Rincon Consultants, Inc. (Rincon) was selected with a compensation not-to-exceed $150,000 annually. 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 (Site). Rincon has conducted historical assessment for the Site and their environmental team conducted soils testing, remediation efforts, and Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) coordination for the NTV project.

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 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 approved 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.

The next phase for the NTV project is the demolition and remediation work. The City is required to demolish and clear all the structures on the site before turning the prepared site over to the Developer. As the demolition involves abatement activities, the completion of the entire abatement, demolition, and remediation is expected to occur by December 2026. Concurrently, the City team is working with the DTSC and entered into a California Land Reuse and Revitalization Act of 2004 Agreement for the Site on October 8, 2025. On April 7, 2026, Rincon submitted a Site Assessment Plan (Work Plan) to DTSC. The Work Plan described the scope and methods to address data gaps identified by the DTSC following their review of the Investigation Summary Report. Data gaps were identified; Rincon discussed and clarified the DTSC-identified data gaps during an April 1, 2026, meeting with DTSC and the City.

In April 2026, on behalf of the City and in coordination with DTSC, Rincon implemented the Work Plan. The soil and soil vapor analytical data collected in April 2026 in accordance with the Work Plan (which remains pending DTSC approval) and proposes a scope of work to further evaluate and delineate soil and soil vapor impacts identified in April 2026. Rincon prepared a proposal to complete additional soil and vapor delineation and continue to provide the City with regulatory support with the DTSC process.

Fiscal Impact:

Funding for the Norwalk Transit Village project activities are from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund and the Non-Housing Bond Fund. The cost of these services shall be reimbursed to the City from State funds currently held in escrow for such purpose.

Citizens Advised:

N/A
Strategic Plan 2023 Implementation:

SUBJECT: AWARD CONTRACT FOR CONSULTING SERVICES FOR PREPARATION OF

A SEWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN AND INFLOW AND INFILTRATION STUDY
Background:

On May 2, 2006, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted Water Quality Order No. 2006-0003 which established Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) for all publicly owned or operated sanitary sewer systems within the State of California.

The WDR requires all federal and state agencies, municipalities, counties, districts, and other public entities that own or operate sanitary sewer systems greater than one mile in length that collect and/or convey untreated or partially treated wastewater to a publicly owned treatment facility in California to report Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs) to SWRCB and develop and implement a system-specific Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP). The SWRCB requires the City, as a collection system agency, to have adopted and maintain an SSMP, and the governing body must re-approve the agency’s SSMP every 5 years. On July 17, 2007, Norwalk City Council adopted Resolution No. 07-40 approving the City’s first SSMP Development Plan and Schedule in compliance with the WDR.

In December of 2014, City Council adopted the latest 5 year update of the SSMP. The SSMP involved the development of a written document that details how the City’s sewer system is operated, maintained, repaired, and funded. In order to achieve compliance, the City must have complied with all the elements of the WDR order. This was accomplished by updating the City’s 2014 SSMP. In 2021, the City’s SSMP was updated and is now due to be updated again.

Effective development and implementation of this plan will provide a cost-effective means to managing the City’s sanitary sewer system and ensure compliance with State Law.

Included within the development of this SSMP is the development of a newly required report known as the Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) Study. The I&I Study will require flow monitoring through various points in the City’s sewer system for a period of time, followed by the development of the report.

To initiate this update, on April 20, 2026, staff issued a notice to prequalified consultants for on- call professional services to provide professional consulting services for the preparation of the SSMP and I&I Study. On May 13, 2026, a single proposal was received from Psomas.

Proposals are evaluated based on qualifications of the firm, proposed team and organization, response to the work scope, detailed work plan, completeness, and ability to meet a realistic project schedule. Fees are not evaluated initially but are reviewed and were considered as part of the evaluation.

Psomas has experience performing work of a similar nature, experienced team members, a detailed work plan, and the ability to deliver the SSMP and I&I updates with the committed resources within the proposed schedule.

Psomas’ proposed cost for the requested services was $137,280. The firm’s team consists of a QA/QC Manager, Project Manager, Project Engineer, Design Engineer, and a Project Assistant.

All team members are licensed professional engineers.

The following is a breakdown of the estimated total project costs:

Sewer System Management Plan Costs (FY 2025/26) $ 52,150 Inflow & Infiltration Study Costs (FY 2026/27) $ 85,130 Total Estimated Cost: $ 137,280
Fiscal Impact:

Funding for the SSMP in the amount of $80,000 was included in the approved FY 2025/26 Sewer Enterprise budget. The remainder of the funding required will be coming from the 2026/27 Sewer Enterprise funds.

SUBJECT: PREPARATION OF THE AMERICA’S WATER INFRASTRUCTURE ACT RISK

AND RESILIENCY ASSESSMENT AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
Background:

In October of 2018, America's Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) was signed into law. AWIA Section 2013 (an amendment to the Safe Drinking Water Act) requires community drinking water systems serving more than 3,300 people to develop, or update, risk and resiliency assessments (RRA) and emergency response plans (ERPs). The law specifies the components that RRAs and ERPs must address, and establishes deadlines by which water systems must certify the completion of a RRA and ERP to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The City last certified the plans in 2021 and both are due to recertify now in 2026.

To initiate this update of the City’s RRA and ERP, on April 20, 2026, staff issued a notice to prequalified consultants for on-call professional services to provide professional consulting services. On May 13, 2026, one proposal was received from SA Associates to update the RRA and ERP.

Proposals are evaluated based on qualifications of the firm, proposed team and organization, response to the work scope, detailed work plan, completeness, and ability to meet a realistic project schedule. Fees are not evaluated initially but are reviewed and are considered as part of the evaluation.

SA Associates has experience performing work of a similar nature, experienced team members, a detailed work plan, and the ability to deliver both the RRA and ERP with the committed resources within the proposed schedule.

AUTHORIZING USE OF THE BOND OPPORTUNITIES FOR LAND

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AND AUTHORIZING THE CALIFORNIA

MUNICIPAL FINANCE AUTHORITY TO ACCEPT APPLICATIONS FROM

PROPERTY OWNERS
Background:

The California Municipal Finance Authority (CMFA) recently shared information with staff regarding a Bond Opportunities For Land Development Program (BOLD Program) that is available to help finance public infrastructure projects for new development within the City.

In order to take advantage of this program, the City would need to become a member of the CMFA, a State-wide joint powers authority (“JPA”) which is comprised of numerous cities, counties, and other public agencies throughout the State of California (the “State”). CMFA has the authority to act on behalf of its members to provide a variety of services to its member agencies, including formation of community facilities districts and issuance of bonds to meet its mission of supporting economic development, job creation and social programs throughout the State, while giving back to California communities. By supporting member communities and their local charities with a portion of the revenue generated through the issuance of tax-exempt bonds for public, private and non-profit entities, CMFA is able to directly contribute to building strong communities to support the health and welfare of the residents of California.

The CMFA recognizes that new residential development often challenges the mission of municipalities to provide infrastructure and schools, since new development triggers the need to construct, acquire, or otherwise provide additional public facilities to accommodate that growth.

The BOLD Program offers a means to finance new or continuing construction of infrastructure and public facilities through bonds the CMFA issues as an alternative to issuance of land- secured bonds directly by a public entity. Similarly, the CMFA can facilitate the levy of special taxes for payment of increased public service levels required by new development. The BOLD Program is designed to help local government municipalities, schools, and land developers throughout the State and work together to cost effectively finance public infrastructure projects and development fees needed for and attributable to new development.

Under the BOLD Program, bonds are issued by a community facilities district (“CFD”) formed by CMFA under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (California Government Code Section 53311 et seq.) (the “Act”). The bonds are payable from special taxes to be levied on new development. The Act offers great financing flexibility and is commonly used by cities, schools and other local agencies throughout the State to generate funds for the payment of public facilities, including development fees for facilities. CFDs can also be structured to pay for maintenance of public facilities and other services costs of the City.

The BOLD Program is handled by a team of bond industry professionals with significant experience in CFDs in the State. All have highly specialized expertise in CFD bond issuance and sales and are consistently ranked among the top firms in the field. In addition, if the City desires to use a municipal advisor of its own choosing to review the BOLD Program application and/or other program documents it may do so, with all related costs payable from bond proceeds or developer deposits to CMFA. Specifically, the BOLD Program utilizes Jones Hall for bond counsel services, Koppel & Gruber Public Finance for special tax consulting services, and Piper Sandler & Co. for underwriting services.

Although the CFD would be formed within the City’s jurisdiction, little involvement is required. The City Council is only required to take a single action to approve participation in the BOLD Program, and CMFA thereafter works with staff to ensure the program is meeting the City’s objectives. CMFA and its consultant team will form and approve each CFD, CMFA will issue bonds on behalf of the CFD and levy and collect the special taxes each year. By working directly with developers, the BOLD Program facilitates financing for infrastructure and fee obligations of developers, covering a broad range of development cost obligations necessary for new development imposed by municipalities, including both facilities and/or impact fees. Using the BOLD Program alleviates local agency staff time constraints and allows staff to focus on other aspects of processing land development projects. It is important to note that Kosmont Financial Services will serve as the City’s financial advisor on all transactions related to this matter as-needed at no cost to the City.

Formation of each CFD requires the establishment of the annual special tax rates. The formula for computing special tax rates will be included in the resolutions to be adopted by the CMFA Board as part of the CFD formation proceedings. Typically, the formula will include a basic, undeveloped land tax with an increase in rate and shifting of the tax to developed lands at City Council June 2, 2026

building permit stage. The total amount of taxes on developed land generally will not exceed 2% of its projected market value in its completed state, per industry standards.

Bonds are issued through the CMFA, with little involvement from local agencies needed for the issuance process. The City will need to approve the use of a CFD to acquire public facilities and the financing thereof, and enter into a joint community facilities agreement, acquisition agreement or similar agreement to receive the bond proceeds, and to meet the general requirements to maintain the tax exemption of interest on the bonds. CMFA adopts the resolutions needed to authorize and issue the special tax bonds and awards the sale to the bond underwriter.

Once the bond issuance occurs, bond proceeds are available to be disbursed. The proceeds are held by a bond trustee and available, as directed by the developer and approved by the local agency, to be used to meet obligations to the City and other local agencies according to the structure and timing required for development approvals. Pursuant to an acquisition agreement or similar document, the City will determine and agree to its role in inspecting and accepting infrastructure and/or payment of financed impact fees.

The CFD may be formed early in the development process, with issuance of bonds at a later time or in multiple series. The following are the typical criteria for bond issuance. •Minimum 4:1 value-to-debt ratio overlapping (assessed or appraised) •No discretionary approvals required for build-out of the portion of the CFD directly relating to the bond security
•Entitlements received that are necessary for phase a to be bonded •Financing plan for backbone infrastructure complete or imminent and/or performance bond in place
Credit criteria will be reviewed by the underwriting team on a case-by-case basis to ensure reasonable interest rates at the time of issuance. Additionally, similar credits can be pooled together into a single bond issue with pooling flexibility assuring the most cost-effective bond issuance for each project.

Administration of all aspects of the BOLD Program is handled by CMFA, without cost to or burden on the City. City staff time can and will be reimbursed by the participating developers upfront and by CMFA once bonds are issued.

CMFA shares a portion of its issuance fees directly with its member communities. In addition, a grant from a portion of the issuance fee is made to the California Foundation for Stronger Communities (“CFSC”) to fund charities designated by the member communities. A portion of the annual fees received by CMFA are in turn directed to charitable activities within California communities, particularly those of members and participating local government agencies. This unique commitment to give back directly to the communities in which they operate sets CMFA City Council June 2, 2026

apart from other JPA conduit issuers.

Tax-exempt municipal bonds are sold through an offering document known as an Official Statement, which describes to potential purchasers of the bonds the terms, security, and repayment of the bonds and details about the property securing the bonds. Since, prior to home sales, the land is owned by the developer entity(ies), relevant information for the Official Statement needs to describe the developer and the development plan. The financing team will work with the developer to provide the required information and approve the final language to be provided to prospective bond buyers.

California law requires developers to disclose to home buyers the lien of any CFD special tax which will be present on the purchased property. The form of disclosure is simple and becomes part of the various sale documents presented to buyers for signature prior to a home sale.

The BOLD Program is a cost-effective form of land-secured financing, and the more cost effective a bond financing is, the greater overall public benefit there is, as more bond proceeds are available for the acquisition of public infrastructure. The BOLD Program provides a vehicle for development to meet its obligation to pay its own way as a result of new development. Utilization of the BOLD Program is a partial solution to the significant understaffing, deficiencies and inefficiencies the City may experience as it attempts to balance the workload of a multiplicity of large land development projects and other staffing obligations.

The development community has expressed a desire for the City to adopt and implement the BOLD Program and it is an offering of CMFA that the City, upon becoming a member of CMFA, is entitled to utilize. It is recommended that the City hold a public hearing on the BOLD Program, adopt a resolution joining CMFA as a member, and adopt a resolution authorizing the BOLD Program within the City’s boundaries.

Environmental:

The adoption of the attached Resolutions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) – Common Sense Exemption because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Resolutions may have a significant effect on the environment.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no cost for the City to join CMFA as a member. In addition, all the costs and expenses related to the formation, issuance of bonds, and ongoing administration for any CFD formed by the BOLD Program is the responsibility of CMFA and there is no liability or fiscal impact on the City. The City can be reimbursed for any staff time expended on the program.

No such approval shall be required in connection with Bonds that refund Bonds previously issued by the Authority and approved by the governing board of a Member.

The manner in which the Authority shall exercise its powers and perform its duties is and shall be subject to the restrictions upon the manner in which a California general law city could exercise such powers and perform such duties.

The services of bond counsel, financing consultants and other consultants and advisors working on the projects and/or their financing shall be used by the Authority.

The expenses of the Board shall be paid from the proceeds of the Bonds or any other unencumbered funds of the Authority available for such purpose.

Section 8. Bonds Only Limited and Special Obligations of Authority.

The Bonds, together with the interest and premium, if any, thereon, shall not be deemed to constitute a debt of any Member or pledge of the faith and credit of the Members or the Authority. The Bonds shall be only special obligations of the Authority, and the Authority shall under no circumstances be obligated to pay the Bonds except from revenues and other funds pledged therefor. Neither the Members nor the Authority shall be obligated to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds, or other costs incidental thereto, except from the revenues and funds pledged therefor, and neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the Members nor the faith and credit of the Authority shall be pledged to the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds nor shall the Members or the Authority in any manner be obligated to make any appropriation for such payment.

No covenant or agreement contained in any Bond or related document shall be deemed to be a covenant or agreement of any Director, or any officer, employee or agent of the Authority in his or her individual capacity and neither the Board of the Authority nor any Director or officer thereof executing the Bonds shall be liable personally on any Bond or be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of the issuance of any Bonds.

Section 9. Accounts and Reports.

All funds of the Authority shall be strictly accounted for. The Authority shall establish and maintain such funds and accounts as may be required by good accounting practice and by any provision of any Indenture (to the extent such duties are not assigned to a trustee of Bonds). The books and records of the Authority shall be open to inspection at all reasonable times by each Member.

The Treasurer of the Authority shall cause an independent audit to be made of the books of accounts and financial records of the Authority by a certified public accountant or public accountant in compliance with the provisions of Section 6505 of the Joint Exercise of Powers Act. In each case the minimum requirements of the audit shall be those prescribed by the State Controller for special districts under Section 26909 of the Government Code of the State of California and shall conform to generally accepted auditing standards. When such an audit of accounts and records is made by 4 8
4 0
a certified public accountant or public accountant, a report thereof shall be filed as a public record with each Member and also with the county auditor of each county in which a Member is located; provided, however, that to the extent permitted by law, the Authority may, instead of filing such report with each Member and such county auditor, elect to post such report as a public record electronically on a website designated by the Authority. Such report if made shall be filed within 12 months of the end of the Fiscal Year or Years under examination.

The Treasurer is hereby directed to report in writing on the first day of July, October, January, and April of each year to the Board and the Members which report shall describe the amount of money held by the Treasurer for the Authority, the amount of receipts since the last such report, and the amount paid out since the last such report (which may exclude amounts held by a trustee or other fiduciary in connection with any Bonds to the extent that such trustee or other fiduciary provided regular reports covering such amounts.)
Any costs of the audit, including contracts with, or employment of, certified public accountants or public accountants in making an audit pursuant to this Section, shall be borne by the Authority and shall be a charge against any unencumbered funds of the Authority available for that purpose.

In any Fiscal Year the Board may, by resolution adopted by unanimous vote, replace the annual special audit with an audit covering a two-year period.

Section 10. Funds.

Subject to the applicable provisions of any Indenture, which may provide for a trustee or other fiduciary to receive, have custody of and disburse Authority funds, the Treasurer of the Authority shall receive, have the custody of and disburse Authority funds pursuant to the accounting procedures developed under Sections 3.C and 9, and shall make the disbursements required by this Agreement or otherwise necessary to carry out any of the provisions of purposes of this Agreement.

Section 11. Notices.

Notices and other communications hereunder to the Members shall be sufficient if delivered to the clerk of the governing body of each Member; provided, however, that to the extent permitted by law, the Authority may, provide notices and other communications and postings electronically (including, without limitation, through email or by posting to a website).

Section 12. Additional Members/Withdrawal of Members.

Qualifying public agencies may be added as parties to this Agreement and become Members upon: (1) the filing by such public agency with the Authority of an executed counterpart of this Agreement, together with a copy of the resolution of the governing body of such public agency approving this Agreement and the execution and 4 8
4 0
delivery hereof; and (2) adoption of a resolution of the Board approving the addition of such public agency as a Member. Upon satisfaction of such conditions, the Board shall file such executed counterpart of this Agreement as an amendment hereto, effective upon such filing.

A Member may withdraw from this Agreement upon written notice to the Board; provided, however, that no such withdrawal shall result in the dissolution of the Authority so long as any Bonds remain outstanding. Any such withdrawal shall be effective only upon receipt of the notice of withdrawal by the Board which shall acknowledge receipt of such notice of withdrawal in writing and shall file such notice as an amendment to this Agreement effective upon such filing.

Section 13. Indemnification.

To the full extent permitted by law, the Board may authorize indemnification by the Authority of any person who is or was a Director or an officer, employee of other agent of the Authority, and who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was such a Director or an officer, employee or other agent of the Authority, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding, if such person acted in good faith in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Authority and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of such person was unlawful and, in the case of an action by or in the right of the Authority, acted with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances.

Section 14. Contributions and Advances.

Contributions or advances of public funds and of the use of personnel, equipment or property may be made to the Authority by the Members for any of the purposes of this Agreement.

SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING - RESOLUTION NO. 26-25 - SETTING SEWER SERVICE CHARGE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026/27 AND ORDERING THAT SUCH CHARGE

BE COLLECTED ON THE TAX ROLL
Background:

On June 18, 2013, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 13-1642 establishing sewer service charges to pay for the operation and maintenance of the City’s sewer system, including capital replacement costs. Ordinance No. 13-1642 provided that beginning July 1, 2014, the sewer service charge could be increased annually through July 1, 2018 by an amount equal to the annual increase in the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index for the Los Angeles Area (the “ENRLA”), as of February of each year. The City has not increased its sewer service charges since Fiscal Year (FY) 2017/18.

Norwalk Municipal Code (NMC), Chapter 13.14 and the California Health and Safety Code, Article 4 of Chapter 6 of Part 3 of Division 5, Section 5470, affirms that City Council is authorized to levy an annual sewer service charge and to have such charge collected on the property tax roll.

As required by the California Health and Safety Code, each year that the City levies and collects charges on the tax roll, the City must prepare a report that contains a description of each parcel of real property to which the charge is applicable and the amount of the charge for each parcel and must hold a public hearing. The report is available for public inspection in the City Clerk’s Department or viewed online at the City’s webpage. As provided in the report, the proposed charge for each parcel is the amount authorized by NMC Chapter 13.14.020, Section E.

On November 21, 2017, City Council voted to continue to levy and collect the sewer service charge with no increase each fiscal year until the City updates its 2015 Sanitary Sewer Master Plan study and conducts a new sewer service fee study. A Sewer System Management Plan update is currently ongoing and a new sewer service fee study will be conducted during FY 2026/27. The new sewer service fee study will provide information for City Council to consider adopting a new sewer service charge beginning in FY 2027/28.

Resolution No. 26-25 approves the report and authorizes the levy of the charge on the property tax roll for FY 2026/27 per Chapter 13.14 of the NMC. Adoption of the attached resolution requires approval by two-thirds of the members of City Council.

Following is a list of projects that the City has recently completed, are in process, or are scheduled for the next few years using the sewer service fee revenues:
•Project No. 7513 – (complete) evaluated 300 sewer manholes and completed repairs to 26 manholes per the National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO) Manhole Assessment and Certification Program (MACP) guidelines •Project No. 7519 – (50% complete) design and installation of a new Sewer System Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system •Project No. 7520 – (complete) design and upgrade of Bloomfield Sewer Lift Station Upgrade Project

City Council Agenda Report
June 2, 2026
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jesus M. Gomez, City Manager
BY: Theresa Devoy, City Clerk
SUBJECT: BROWN ACT UPDATES PURSUANT TO SENATE BILL 707 - RESOLUTION NO. 26-30, DISRUPTION POLICY / RESOLUTION NO. 26-31, PUBLIC POSTING

BOARD POLICY / MEETING OUTREACH
Background:

The Ralph M. Brown Act (Government Code § 54950 et seq.) establishes requirements for open meetings of local legislative bodies. In 2025, Senate Bill (SB) 707 amended the Brown Act related to remote participation, accessibility, and procedures for addressing disruptions to meeting access for City Council meetings.

Among other requirements, SB 707 requires City Council to adopt a technology disruption policy and to determine what constitutes reasonable efforts for outreach to encourage public participation in City Council meetings, particularly among underrepresented and non-English- speaking communities. These policies must be adopted and effective by July 1, 2026. In addition, the new requirements call for cities to provide public posting space for individuals to translate agendas into other languages.

Technology Disruption Policy
Government Code §54953.4 requires City Council to adopt, by July 1, 2026, a technology disruption policy. The policy must address procedures for responding to disruptions of telephonic or internet service during a meeting and the efforts the legislative body will make to restore service.

The statute further requires that if a disruption occurs that prevents members of the public from observing and participating in a City Council meeting through the two-way telephonic or audiovisual platform, City Council must recess the open session for up to one hour and make a good faith effort to restore service. During this time, City Council may meet in closed session, as permitted by law.

City Council June 2, 2026
SB 707 Update – Adoption of Disruption, Public Outreach, and Public Posting Board policies
Page No. 2
1 4
6 3
The City Council may not reconvene open session until service has been restored or at least one hour has passed, whichever occurs first.

In order to proceed if service has not been restored by the one-hour period, City Council must make findings by roll call vote that good faith efforts were made to restore access and that the public interest in continuing the meeting outweighs the public interest in providing remote access.

Alternatively, the meeting may be adjourned.

The attached proposed policy incorporates these requirements and establishes procedures to ensure transparency and continuity of meetings in the event of a technology disruption during a City Council meeting, while maintaining flexibility to respond based on the specific circumstances.

Reasonable Efforts for Outreach
Government Code §54953.4 (3)(C)(i) requires City Council to determine what constitutes “reasonable efforts” to encourage participation in City Council meetings, particularly among underrepresented communities and non-English-speaking communities.

The City’s approach to outreach could involve inviting media or other organizations that serve non-English-speaking community members. Currently, the City advertises meetings on the City’s website and through social media. Viewers may watch meetings through the City’s website, YouTube, and Cable.

The statute provides City Council with broad discretion in defining these reasonable efforts and clarifies that failure to provide notice to any specific group does not create a basis for legal action.

Staff is seeking input from City Council regarding other outlets to consider advertising meetings.

Additionally, the ability to register to receive notification when agendas are posted is also required and will be available by July 1.

Other key components of SB 707
Translation:

Cities are required to translate and post City Council agendas into specific languages based on census numbers and a 20% formula. Based on the current information, Norwalk will be translating agendas into Spanish. Staff plans to utilize Microsoft Office 365 to translate the agendas and have it proofread internally for accuracy.

While cities are not required to provide translation services, space for translators who attend with participants must be provided and extra time needs to be allotted for translation. The Act does require that Closed Captioning be activated if using a platform that provides for the services.

Staff is reviewing different avenues to provide Closed Captioning.

City Council June 2, 2026
SB 707 Update – Adoption of Disruption, Public Outreach, and Public Posting Board policies
Page No. 3

Public Posting Board:

Cities are required to provide a public posting board for anyone who wishes to post an agenda translated into other languages once the official agenda is posted. The posting board must be available 24/7 for the public to either post a translated agenda or view any postings, and it will not be locked to be publicly accessible pursuant to Government Code 54953.4(c)(3)-(4). SB 707 does include language indicating cities are not responsible for those translations, which will be posted on the board. Therefore, staff is requesting that City Council adopt a posting policy allowing staff to remove any documents that are not agendas or found to incorporate offensive language.

These new mandates will create more complexity for each City Council meeting and additional staff may be needed to manage them.

Fiscal Impact:

No impact to the budget to adopt the policies. However, the posting board is estimated to cost between $150-$300. There are costs associated with the various software ranging from $8,500 to $13,000 annually to assist with translations.

FOR BUILDINGS DEMOLITION LOCATED AT NORWALK TRANSIT VILLAGE, 13200 BLOOMFIELD AVENUE / RESOLUTION NO. 26-24 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.

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. The contract award was continued from the meeting of May 5, 2026, to tonight’s meeting to allow for additional environmental activities to be completed.

Fiscal Impact:

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
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.
