SUBJECT: PROJECT NO. 7870 - MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR LAKESIDE

PARK LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
Background:

At its regularly scheduled meeting held on November 7, 2023, City Council approved entering into an Energy Services Contract with Syserco Energy Solutions, Inc. for the implementation of energy conservation measures (ECM) at various City facilities. The project included updating existing systems, reduced utility consumption and ongoing operational cost reductions.

Included in the ECM is installation of new sports lighting for playing fields at Lakeside Park, which is owned by the Little Lake City School District (District). The new sports lighting included, but not limited to, the following elements:
Pre-cast concrete bases
Galvanized steel poles
Factory-wired and tested remote electrical component enclosures. Pole length factory-assembled wire harnesses
Factory-aimed and assembled luminaires, including BallTracker® technology. Light levels of fifty (50) footcandle average in the infield (2:1 uniformity), and thirty (30) footcandle average in the outfield (2.5:1 uniformity).
Control-Link® control and monitoring system to provide remote on/off, dimming (high/medium/low) control, and performance monitoring with 24/7 customer support.

Pursuant to the Field Act (California Education Code § 17280 et seq.) and applicable provisions of the California Code of Regulations, all construction, alteration, or addition work on school district property in California — including athletic facility improvements such as ballfield light

installations (field light poles are heavy, high-wind-load structures) — that falls under the jurisdiction of the Division of the State Architect (DSA) requires continuous inspection by a DSA- certified Inspector of Record (IOR). During this project, an IOR will be required for Lakeside Park.

The IOR is a certified inspector approved by DSA to inspect the work pursuant to the Field Act and applicable provisions of the California Code of Regulations and also serves as the representative of the District to conduct field inspections of the project during construction. The IOR is responsible for ensuring that construction work complied with approved plans, specifications, building codes, and relevant regulations, serving as the official on-site representative of the authority having jurisdiction — DSA — throughout construction.

The aforementioned services are coordinated by the District and the City shall reimburse the District for all reasonable and necessary DSA-required inspection and testing costs actually incurred and paid by the District, including but not limited to IOR, Laboratory of Record (LOR), and all special inspection and testing services.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the District includes the following provisions:
District shall ensure that all inspection and testing services are procured and performed in accordance with applicable law.
District shall provide supporting documentation including invoices and proof of payment.

City shall process reimbursement consistent with its standard procedures. If the City disputes any portion of an invoice, the City shall notify the District in writing of the disputed amount and the basis for the dispute. City shall timely pay all undisputed amounts, and the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any disputed charges. This MOU shall remain in effect through completion of the Project and full reimbursement of eligible costs. If the Project is suspended, delayed, or terminated, the City shall remain responsible only for eligible costs incurred prior to the effective date of such suspension or termination, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties. It is estimated that the eligible expenditures will total $80,000.

Fiscal Impact:

The adopted FY 2026/27 budget includes funding for Project No. 7870 in the Parks Renovation Fund.

SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 4 – HIGHWAY SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

MANAGEMENT AND FUNDING ADMINISTRATION SERVICES / REOPEN PROJECT NOS. 7228, 7229, AND 7230 FOR FINAL CLOSEOUT SERVICES / RESOLUTION NO. 26-47 BUDGET AMENDMENT, ENGINEER'S REPORT NO. 26-22
Background:

On March 17, 2020, the City Council approved an Agreement with Avant-Garde to provide program management and federal funding administration services for several traffic safety improvement projects funded through the California Department of Transportation's (Caltrans) Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycles 6, 7, and 8. These projects support the City's ongoing efforts to improve roadway safety, enhance accessibility, and modernize traffic infrastructure by upgrading traffic signal hardware, optimizing signal timing coordination, installing pedestrian countdown signal heads, reconstructing Americans with Disabilities Act curb ramps, and improving roadway signage and striping.

The original Agreement with Avant-Garde was approved for a total amount of $201,139. As the projects are federally funded, they require strict compliance with Caltrans and federal requirements throughout project delivery. Avant-Garde provides specialized expertise in managing these complex administrative requirements, including preparing and submitting authorization requests, coordinating required documentation, administering reimbursement requests for eligible project costs, and preparing final project closeout packages in accordance with Caltrans requirements. These services help ensure the City remains eligible for federal reimbursement, maintains compliance with grant requirements, and minimizes the administrative burden on City staff.

Since the Agreement was approved, Avant-Garde has successfully supported the delivery of eight traffic signal improvement projects under HSIP Cycles 6, 7, and 8. Through their expertise in federal funding administration and close coordination with Caltrans, the consultant has helped the City secure and receive more than $16 million in federal reimbursement for eligible project costs. Their continued assistance has been instrumental in advancing critical transportation safety improvements while maximizing external funding and reducing the City's financial responsibility for these capital projects.

On December 16, 2025, City Council accepted the construction work for Project No. 7229 – Traffic Signal Improvements Along Studebaker Road from Rosecrans Avenue to Alondra Boulevard. The project, along with Project Nos. 7228 and 7230, were completed as part of HSIP Cycle 6. Due to contractor-caused compliance deficiencies and legal disputes regarding overcharges by the construction management firm, Avant-Garde was required to provide additional project management and grant compliance services beyond the original scope of work to address the issues, maintain compliance with federal funding requirements, and support the successful delivery of the project.

Following acceptance of Project No. 7229, all three HSIP Cycle 6 projects were administratively closed. Subsequent to project acceptance, Avant-Garde completed additional close-out-related services, including preparation of reimbursement invoices for submission to Caltrans.

Because the projects have been administratively closed, outstanding invoices submitted to the City cannot be processed for payment. Accordingly, staff recommend reopening Project Nos. 7228, 7229, and 7230 to complete final consultant payments and conclude all remaining closeout activities as part of HSIP Cycle 6.

Throughout the duration of the Agreement, additional services were requested to ensure proper and timely reimbursement of federal funds for HSIP Cycles 6, 7, and 8. To date, three amendments have been fully executed for additional compensation of $312,000. Currently, Avant-Garde is providing services for Cycle 7 (Project Nos. 7232, 7233, and 7234) as the projects reach the close-out phase, and Cycle 8 (Project Nos. 7237, 7238, 7239, and 7240) as the projects proceed with construction start. To ensure the continued support of services throughout the duration of the Agreement, staff recommend entering into Amendment No. 4 with Avant-Garde in the amount of $100,000.

Fiscal Impact:

Resolution No. 26-47 includes an appropriation in the amount of $100,000 Street Renovation funds to support the above services.

SERVICES PROJECT
Background:

As part of the fiscal year 2026/27 (FY 2027) Adopted Budget, the City allocated $198,450 from the Technology Replacement Fund for the firewall upgrade project at the City Hall and Transit facilities.

After completing an assessment, staff in cooperation with IBE Digital, the City’s Information Technology (IT) consultant, were able to right-size the firewall solution while still meeting the City's operational and security requirements. This reduced the project cost by $81,890.

Staff recommend allocating $66,000 from the firewall upgrade project savings toward Technology Management and Optimization Services. This investment would provide ongoing management of the City's technology infrastructure, including:
Proactive monitoring and management of the City's servers, network, and storage infrastructure.
Structured operating system, firmware, and third-party patch management. Configuration backup and restoration for supported network devices. Backup oversight, including backup monitoring and restore testing. Vendor coordination and lifecycle management for supported infrastructure. Quarterly reporting on infrastructure health, capacity, and patch compliance.

5. Confidential and Proprietary Information: (a) Each party agrees that all know-how, business, technical and financial information it obtains (as a “Receiving Party”) from the disclosing party (as a “Disclosing Party”) constitute the confidential property of the Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be Confidential Information due to the nature of the information disclosed and the
circumstances surrounding the disclosure. Except as may be necessary to perform its obligations under this Schedule, the Receiving Party will hold in confidence and not use or disclose any of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information. The Receiving Party’s nondisclosure obligation shall not apply to information that: (i) was known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (ii) is publicly available; (iii) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party; (iv) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party; or (v) is required to be disclosed pursuant to a regulation, law or court order.

7. Assignment: This Schedule may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No consent shall be required where an assignment is made (i) pursuant to a merger or change of control or (ii) to an assignee of all or substantially all of the party’s assets. Any purported assignment in violation of this section shall be void.

8. Complete Understanding; Modification: This Schedule, as well as any applicable terms of service posted at www.allcovered.com/terms, shall constitute the full and complete understanding and agreement between Client and IBE Digital and supersedes all prior or

18 562.921.0202
[email protected]
ibedigital.com
11266 Monarch St. B,
Garden Grove, CA
contemporaneous negotiations, discussions or agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties regarding the subject matter contained herein. Any waiver, modification or amendment of any provision of this Schedule shall be effective only if in writing and signed by both parties.

9. Waiver and Severability: Waiver or failure by either party to exercise in any respect any right or obligation provided for in this Schedule shall not be deemed a waiver of any further right or obligation hereunder. If any provision of this Schedule is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of this Schedule shall continue in full force and effect.

10. Force Majeure: Neither party shall be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Schedule, except for a failure to pay fees, if the delay or failure is due to unforeseen events which are beyond the reasonable control of such party, such as strikes, blockade, war, terrorism, riots, natural disasters, power outages, and/or refusal of license by the government, insofar as such an event prevents or delays the affected party from fulfilling its obligations and such party is not able to prevent or remove the force majeure at reasonable cost.

11. Counterparts. This Schedule may be executed in any number of counterparts and each fully executed counterpart shall be deemed an original. The parties agree (a) that facsimile or electronic signature shall be accepted as original signatures; and (b) that the Schedule, or any document created pursuant to the Schedule, may be maintained in an electronic document storage and retrieval system, a copy of which shall be considered an original. In any legal proceeding relating to the Schedule, the parties waive their right to raise any defense based on the execution of the Schedule in counterparts or the delivery of such executed counterparts by copy, facsimile, or electronic delivery.

12. Third-Party Infrastructure Disclaimer. IBE Digital’s services depend on third-party components outside of IBE Digital’s control, including but not limited to server and network hardware, internet service providers, cloud platforms, backup appliances, endpoint protection platforms (including SentinelOne), and vendor support agreements maintained by Client. IBE Digital shall have no liability for any service degradation, outage, data loss, or security incident arising from the failure, misconfiguration, end-of-life status, or unavailability of any such third- party component. IBE Digital’s obligation is limited to commercially reasonable efforts to detect, escalate, and coordinate remediation of issues affecting in-scope infrastructure, subject to the cooperation and response timelines of the applicable third-party vendor.

13. Service Level Objectives. The Service Level Objectives set forth in this Statement of Services represent IBE Digital’s target response and resolution timeframes and are not guarantees of performance. Failure to meet any Service Level Objective target shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, and Client’s sole remedy for a missed Service Level Objective is IBE Digital’s commercially reasonable effort to remediate the underlying issue as promptly as practicable. No financial credits, penalties, or service fee reductions shall apply as a result of any missed Service Level Objective target. Service Level Objective clock measurements exclude time during which IBE Digital is waiting on Client, a third-party vendor, or any other party outside of IBE Digital’s control for information, access, or approvals necessary to proceed.

14. Cybersecurity Disclaimer. IBE Digital’s managed services engagement is designed to reduce risk but does not guarantee the security or integrity of Client’s technology environment. IBE Digital shall not be liable for any security breach, ransomware attack, malware infection, unauthorized access, or data loss arising from: (i) vulnerabilities existing in Client’s environment prior to the commencement of this engagement; (ii) Client’s failure to implement security recommendations made by IBE Digital in writing; (iii) actions or omissions of Client’s employees, contractors, or end users; (iv) zero-day exploits or threat vectors for which no reasonable mitigation was available at the time of the incident; or (v) any third-party system, application, or network component not expressly covered under this Statement of Services. Client acknowledges that no security solution is foolproof and that IBE Digital’s cybersecurity-related services are complementary controls, not absolute protections. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, IBE Digital’s total aggregate liability to Client for any claim arising out of or related to a cybersecurity incident, security breach, data loss, or unauthorized access regardless of the legal theory upon which such claim is based, and including claims attributable to IBE Digital’s own acts or omissions shall not exceed Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000).

By executing this Statement of Services, City of Norwalk agrees to purchase the services designated above subject to the preceding Terms and Conditions of Service. _____________________________________________________________________ City of Norwalk

GOVERNING BOARD WITH THE LOS ANGELES GATEWAY REGION

INTEGRATED REGIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT JOINT POWERS

AUTHORITY
Background:

In 2011, a group of cities/agencies, also known as watershed “Permittees,” including the City of Norwalk created a Technical Committee to prepare an Implementation Plan, Monitoring Plan, and special studies for the Coyote Creek and San Gabriel River Reach 1 cities, as required by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board). The watershed group entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Gateway Water Management Authority (GWMA).

The GWMA is a large watershed-based coalition that was formed in 2007 and is currently comprised of various cities, water agencies and a port that are responsible for coordinating the regional watershed needs of 2 million people in the Gateway Region located in Southeastern Los Angeles County. The GWMA was formed in response to the Regional Board’s requirement to integrate regional watershed activities such as water supply, recycled water, stormwater, conservation measures, wastewater, etc. Officially, the Regional Board has designated the GWMA as a “Regional Integrated Water Management” area. GWMA is a Joint Powers Authority and is the “sister water agency” to the Gateway Cities Council of Government formed in 2007 by 10 cities and the Southeast Water Coalition. The GWMA has been the acting administrator for the Permittees, per the MOU, since of June 2012.

GMWA Board Representation
Per the MOU, each city/agency is represented by one primary Board Member and up to three alternates on the GWMA Board. In accordance with GWMA’s Bylaws, all non-Legislative Body

appointments to the GWMA Board must be done by Resolution. GWMA Board Members and alternate Board Members serve two-year terms beginning October 1st of each odd-numbered year and concluding on September 30th two years later. Resolution No. 26-51 would designate the City’s Public Services Director/City Engineer as a Board Member to serve continuously across successive two-year terms such that the governing body need not re-appoint the same persons to the GWMA Board every two years, unless the governing body desires to change its designated Board Member and/or Alternate Board Member or must otherwise fill a vacancy. The City’s Senior Civil Engineer is the current GWMA Alternate Board Member. The City needs to fill a vacancy for the GWMA Board Member position only.

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 26-50 - AUTHORIZING AN AMENDMENT TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2026/27 ADOPTED BUDGET ALLOCATING $174,700 OF THE LOW-

AND MODERATE-INCOME HOUSING ASSET FUND FOR HOMELESS

PREVENTION AND RAPID REHOUSING SERVICES
Background:

Since 2016, the City Council has authorized funding from the City's Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund to support the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Program (HPRP). HPRP provides financial assistance, including short-term and medium-term rental support to low-income residents. This assistance helps at-risk families avoid homelessness and enables homeless individuals and families to secure permanent housing. During this period, the City has partnered with Kingdom Causes of Bellflower to deliver these services to Norwalk residents.

On April 6, 2026, via Planetbids, the City released Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 26-857, seeking qualified service providers to administer the HPRP, which is designed to prevent homelessness, stabilize households in crisis, and support long-term housing retention for Norwalk residents. The proposal due date was May 6, 2026. Only one agency submitted a proposal.

Kingdom Causes of Bellflower (KCB)
KCB submitted a complete and compliant proposal. KCB has more than 20 years of experience in homelessness prevention, rental assistance administration, outreach, housing navigation, and case management throughout Southeast Los Angeles County. They have previously partnered with the City of Norwalk on multiple housing programs, including prior HPRP services and the Mainstream Voucher Program.

Over the last four years, KCB has expended an average of $73,000 annually on similar homelessness prevention and stabilization services, demonstrating both efficiency and consistent program performance. With the proposed $250,000 agreement, KCB will significantly expand service capacity including assistance for Norwalk foster youth and veterans.

KCB’s service model includes outreach, case management, landlord engagement, rental assistance, rapid rehousing support, transportation assistance, and full program administration.

KCB conducts a housing stability assessment with each household to evaluate the ability to sustain housing after assistance ends. When appropriate, individualized case management plans include financial assessments, budgeting support, referrals, and long-term stabilization planning.

All assistance and case management activities will be tracked using KCB’s existing documentation systems to ensure accurate reporting, accountability, and compliance with City requirements. Projected annual outcomes include approximately 200–225 unduplicated Norwalk households served, with 20–60 households receiving financial assistance depending on household need.

Fiscal Impact:

No General Fund Impact. Fiscal year 2026/27 contains allocation of $75,300, the additional appropriation of $174,700 for case management and financial assistance will be provided from the available fund balance of City's Housing Successor Agency’s set-aside fund.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND INSPECTION SERVICES FOR

ALONDRA BOULEVARD PAVEMENT REHABILITATION FROM GRIDLEY
ROAD TO WEST CITY LIMITS / RESOLUTION NO. 26-44 – BUDGET AMENDMENT, ENGINEER'S REPORT NO. 26-33
Background:

On May 29, 2026, staff solicited for construction bids for Alondra Boulevard Pavement Rehabilitation from Gridley Road to West City Limits – Project No. 7921 (“Project”). The scope of work includes improvements to asphalt concrete pavement, cross gutters, spandrels, curb and gutter, sidewalk, American with Disabilities Act curb ramps, signing, and striping.

On July 14, 2026, the City received seven bids, which were publicly opened. Two bids were found to be non-responsive. Below are the responsive bid results:

Rank Contractor Bid Amount
1 Gentry Brothers, Inc. $ 2,353,343
2 Sequel Contractors, Inc. $ 2,361,118
3 Onyx Paving Company, Inc. $ 2,373,000
4 RJ Noble Company, Inc. $ 2,459,265
5 Calmex Engineering, Inc. $ 2,614,790
Staff conducted a comprehensive bid evaluation, including verification of the contractor’s California State License Board License, Department of Industrial Relations registration, State and Federal debarment status, and reference checks. Based on the findings of the bid

evaluation, staff recommend awarding a construction contract to the lowest responsive bidder, Gentry Brothers, Inc.

Following issuance of the Notice to Proceed, construction is anticipated to begin late September 2026, with project completion expected by January 2027.

Environmental Analysis: City Council hereby finds that the proposed project is categorically exempted pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15300.2. The project is categorically exempted from CEQA as Class 1 Existing Facilities.

Fiscal Impact:

The following is an estimated cost breakdown of the total project costs:

Construction Cost: $ 2,353,343
Construction & landscaping Contingency: $ 586,581
Construction Management and Inspection
Services (On-Call Contract with TYLin): $ 407,737
Design Support Services During Construction
(On-Call Contract with Kreuzer Consulting Group): $ 28,240 Subtotal: $ 3,375,901
Administration: $ 114,099
Total Estimated Cost: $ 3,490,000
Project expenditures are currently funded with Proposition C, Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program (RMRA), and Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 funds in the amount of $4,029,162. Following the bid opening, it was noted that the proposed cost was below the engineer's estimate, resulting in available surplus project funding. Staff therefore recommend revising the project funding sources to reprogram excess funds for use on future Capital Improvement Projects. Resolution No. 26-44 appropriates $200,000 in unencumbered TDA Article 3 funds to the project and de-obligates $800,000 in RMRA funds, resulting in a net reduction of $600,000 in the project's total budget.

SUBJECT: INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP COMMISSION APPROVAL OF PROPOSED

TRAVEL AND ACTIVITIES IN ZACATECAS, MEXICO IN SEEKING A

FRIENDSHIP CITY
Background:

The City of Norwalk’s International Friendship Commission was first created in 1961 to expand citizen diplomatic relationships and exchange cultural differences with other countries. The City’s demographic is mostly Hispanic/ Latino residents, and according to the United States Census Bureau, the majority is estimated at 70% of the population. Since the creation of the Commission, there have been various Sister Cities formally adopted by the City Council. Previous Sister Cities adopted by the City include cities in Mexico. Hermosillo, Sonora was adopted in 1961, Fresnillo, Zacatecas in 1993 and Morelia, Michoacan in 2005.

The City has shown successful implementation of programs and partnerships through its Sister City relationships. In 2005, the Commission informally began a student-to-student pen pal program between students from Lakeland Elementary and students in Morelia. In July of 2023, elected officials from Fresnillo, Zacatecas visited Norwalk for a meeting with City Council and staff. During their visit the Fresnillo elected officials and the City participated in conversation and a tour of City Hall.

Though the Sister City relationship with Fresnillo was formally terminated via Resolution No. 05- 34, the International Friendship Commission has decided that they would like to continue exploring connections with other cities in Zacatecas because of the significant number of residents with ties to the State. The Commission wishes to serve the Norwalk community as ambassadors on a trip to visit Zacatecas from September 11 to September 17, 2026.

Recommended attendees include two Councilmembers, two Commissioners, two City staff, and one member of the Chamber of Commerce. On this trip, they will visit three cities, Jalpa, Jerez,

and Zacatecas. The group would meet with elected officials, meet business leaders, attend various traditional dances, and participate in different tours presented to the group.

The Commission’s objective is to explore a Friendship with the cities. A Friendship City relationship is intended to be less formal than a Sister City agreement. Establishing a Friendship allows for cities to build a partnership. The partnership provides the Commissioners with an opportunity to learn from Zacatecano traditions and approaches to serving their communities.

While Norwalk has a predominate Hispanic population, the City is home to many cultures, and a friendship with Zacatecas can broaden understanding, strengthen relationships, and identify programs and best practices that can be brought back to Norwalk to improve City services and better serve all residents.

Below is a chart of the budget for the trip which will include flights, hotel, transportation and daily expenses for 7 adults:

Flights Hotel Transportation Daily Expense
$ 4,854.50 $ 7,173.60 $ 1,400.00 $ 4,410.00 Total Expense: $17,838.10
Flights are budgeted roundtrip departures from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Zacatecas International Airport (ZCL). The Commissioners have also indicated that they are open to traveling to Tijuana, Mexico to board direct flights at Tijuana International Airport to Zacatecas, Mexico to reduce travel costs.

Fiscal Impact:

The anticipated fiscal impact of the proposed travel and activities is $17,838.10. Funding will be provided through multiple sources. The International Friendship Commission budget will contribute $5,096.60 for Commissioner travel expenses plus an additional $2,548.30 for a Chamber of Commerce representative. The City Council Travel Budget will cover $5,096.60 for Councilmember travel and the Administration Department’s budget will provide $5,096.60 for City Staff travel.

SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF 2025 WATER SYSTEM MASTER PLAN
Background:

The City of Norwalk encompasses approximately 9.8 square miles and is a well-balanced community with residential, commercial, and industrial land uses. Incorporated in 1957, the City is home to approximately 98,100 residents and is located 17 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles within the Greater Los Angeles area.

The City owns and operates the Norwalk Municipal Water System (NMWS), a municipal water enterprise that serves portions of the Cities of Norwalk and Artesia and a small, unincorporated area of Los Angeles County located within the City of Cerritos. The NMWS infrastructure consists of approximately 58.8 miles of water mains ranging from 4 to 16 inches, approximately 5,541 water service connections, and three groundwater wells in the Central Groundwater Basin.

The City’s previous Water Master Plan (WMP) was completed and adopted by the City Council in 2015. WMPs are typically updated every five to ten years, depending on operational needs, infrastructure conditions, regulatory requirements and economic factors.

On April 16, 2024, City Council awarded a contract to Stetson Engineers, Inc. (Stetson Engineers) to provide professional engineering services for the preparation of the City’s 2025 Water System Master Plan. Since then, Stetson has worked closely with staff to evaluate the NMWS’s operations and infrastructure needs and identify improvements to enhance system efficiency and reliability.

The scope of work for the project consisted of the following phases:

Phase I:
• WMP Research & Assessment
• Hydraulic Analysis
• Water System Improvement Program
• Draft 2025 Water System Master Plan
• Final 2025 Water System Master Plan
Phase II:
• Water Service Study Workshops
• Draft Preliminary Financial Plan
• Water Rate Study Workshops
• Draft Water Rate Study
• Final Recommendations for Water Rates
• Combined 2025 Water System Master Plan and Rate Study Report With the completion of the study under Phase I, Stetson Engineers submitted the final 2025 WMP to the City for review and acceptance. Staff have determined that the Plan provides a comprehensive evaluation of the City’s water system, identifies capital improvements necessary to maintain reliable service, and establishes a framework for future planning.

Additionally, the system mapping data generated by this Plan will be uploaded and utilized for the citywide Geographic Information System (GIS) system, allowing for timely and accurate access to information which will facilitate and coordinate both future capital improvement projects as well as private developments.

The Water Rate Study under Phase II is currently ongoing and will be presented to City Council for consideration at a future meeting.
