BACKGROUND
Enhancing public safety and quality of life is a top priority for all. To support this, effective security operations are implemented to deter crime and suspicious activities at Housing Authority and City-owned facilities.

The Housing Authority oversees three mobile home parks and four apartment complexes, each with a security program that includes unarmed security guard services, access control, parking enforcement, asset protection, and crime deterrence through observation.

The City provides security across all facilities, including the Civic Center, Palmdale Transportation Center, park-and-ride locations, neighborhood houses, and parks. By enhancing security, the City aims to improve residents’ daily lives by fostering safety, reducing crime, and creating a secure environment for people to work, live and play.

Interviews were held with the top four bidders on March 14, 2024, and Good Guard Security, Inc. was one of the top-rated candidates. While based in Chatsworth, CA, its goal is to recruit and employ from within the Antelope Valley.

Master Services Agreement No. A-9189 for the Housing Authority will house Project Authorizations A through G. Master Services Agreement No. A-9190 will house Project Authorizations A and B. All agreements/project authorizations are attached for reference.

City Council Staff Report
DATE: JANUARY 8, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT

DISTRICT: ALL
SUBJECT: RECEIVE AND FILE THE MONTHLY INVESTMENT ACTIVITY REPORTS FOR NOVEMBER 2024

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the monthly investment activity reports for the City of Palmdale and Successor Agency for November 2024.

BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Section 16 of the City and Successor Agency Investment Policy, the City Treasurer shall prepare and present monthly and quarterly reports on investments to the City Manager/Executive Director and the City Council/Directors. The reports shall detail the type of investment, issuer’s name, purchase date, maturity date, amount of deposit, and interest rate.

They provide information on assets, allocations, average maturities, yields, and book valuations. The interest rates presented are the most current rates available as of the date of this report.

The market values presented for pooled City and Successor Agency investments are based on closing prices for the related investment as of the date of this report.

Report to Mayor and City Council
Re: Monthly Investment Reports

DISCUSSION
Compliance with Investment Policy
For November, the City’s invested portfolio totaled $322,732,852, a decrease of $11,745,486 from the previous month and an increase of $16,604,784 compared to the prior year. The monthly decrease resulted from the transferring of funds between the City’s operating and LAIF accounts to pay for ongoing operating expenses.

The par value of Successor Agency’s portfolio as of November was $5,493,576. The balance increased by $967,572 from the prior month due to the transfer of funds from the City’s operating account to fund the upcoming debt service payment, due December 1, 2024.

All investments meet criteria appropriate to Section 8 of the Investment Policy. The portfolios are based on a combination of various investments, including CDs, Corporate Notes, US Treasury Securities, and Government Agency Paper, each adhering to portfolio percentage limitations.

The Finance Division is the custodian for the City and Successor Agency’s investment portfolio and follows the three main principles of both entities’ investment policies: 1) Investment in financial instruments that mitigate the risk of monetary losses stemming from market fluctuations; 2) Establish and maintain a portfolio that has sufficient liquidity to allow the City and Successor Agency to meet all anticipated cash requirements; and, 3) Seek out investment instruments that provide a competitive market rate of return.

Liquidity
One core approach the Finance Division focuses on is providing liquidity to meet the City and Successor Agency’s operational requirements. Thus, the City invests in two pooled funds, Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and the California Asset Management Program (CAMP). These are intended for daily operational activities and can be used during economic uncertainties for ongoing operating and maintenance needs. The pooled funds provide a higher liquidity ratio to ensure the City and Successor Agency meet cash flow requirements.

The City's LAIF balance at the end of November was $100,310,289, a decrease of $10,000,000 due to the transfer of funds between LAIF and the City’s general checking account to fund ongoing operating expenses for the month.

The Successor Agency’s LAIF balance at the end of November was $3,813,014, with no changes from the prior month.

Report to Mayor and City Council
Re: Monthly Investment Reports
January 8, 2025

Page 3 ends

The City’s CAMP balance at the end of November was $53,580,131 compared to $53,367,078 in October. The increase is due to interest earned during the month.

The interest rates presented are the most current rates available as of the date of this report. As of November 30, 2024, the interest rates for LAIF and CAMP investments were at 4.48 percent and 4.87 percent, respectively. By comparison, the LAIF and CAMP interest rates at the end of October were 4.52 percent and 5.03 percent. This time last year, LAIF and CAMP rates were at 3.84 percent and 5.58, respectively.

The chart above shows the LAIF and CAMP average monthly yields from February 2024 through November 2024. The difference between the two funds’ performance is primarily due to their varying pool characteristics. CAMP’s portfolio composition is more prone to market volatility, resulting in performance variations.

Diversity
The Finance Division aims to diversify the investment portfolios to avoid incurring unreasonable and avoidable risks regarding specific security types or individual financial institutions.

The City and Successor Agency’s investment portfolios remain strongly diversified. The monthly reports include all investments held by both entities and current book values as of November 30, 2024.

The City and Successor Agency are expected to have sufficient funds to meet its expenditure requirements for the next six months. The Finance Division will continue to monitor current economic conditions and the impact on interest rates.

City Council Staff Report
DATE: JANUARY 8, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT

INNOVATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL DIVISION
DISTRICT: ALL
SUBJECT: APPROVE ENERGY FOR PALMDALE’S INDEPENDENT CHOICE ’S (EPIC) 2023 POWER CONTENT LABEL (PCL) AND ATTESTATION

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve EPIC’s 2023 PCL and Attestation.

BACKGROUND
The attestation specified under California’s Power Source Disclosure (PSD) Program requires the governing council of a public agency providing retail electric service to endorse the accuracy of the previous year’s annual report and PCL submitted to the California Energy Commission (CEC). For EPIC, such attestations will be based on the California Choice Energy Authority’s (CalChoice) technical review, and they willaddress the 2023 Annual Reports and PCL prepared for the EPIC Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program.

The PCL is analogous to a nutrition label, conveying information regarding the various power sources/products procured for each retail electricity customer. California’s retail electricity sellers, including EPIC, will each have unique PCLs based on internally adopted procurement policies, statutory procurement mandates, and related power purchases completed during the reporting year.

The PCL format is highly prescriptive, offering little flexibility to retail sellers when presenting such information to customers . The CEC administers these requirements under California’s PSD Program.

DISCUSSION
Information presented in each PCL includes the proportionate share of total energy supply related to specific fuel sources/resource categories, including both renewable and conventional generating technologies. An emission factor for each retail service Report to Mayor and City Council
Re: Approve EPIC’s 2023 Power Content Label and Attestation January 8, 2025

Page 2 ends

offering, as calculated using the CEC’s prescribed methodology, is also provided in the PCL. It is very common for most retail electricity sellers to utilize “unspecified power”.

For example, suppose a retail seller procures a certain percentage of its energy requirements from the market at large (sources of power that cannot be traced back to a specific generator), the PCL must identify such purchases as unspecified sources of power.

In 2002, Senate Bill (SB) 1078 established California’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS). The RPS established a timetable outlining the minimum percentage of renewable energy provided to ratepayers with the ultimate goal of providing 100 percent renewable energy by 2045 (as established in 2018 through the passage of SB 100). Renewable fuel sources may include biomass and waste, hydroelectricity, solar, geothermal, and wind. Per RPS and internally adopted planning targets, EPIC procured a substantial portion of its electric energy supply from generating resources utilizing various renewable fuel sources in 2023. For EPIC Power customers, 41.3% of the total energy supply was sourced from RPS-eligible (CEC-certified) renewable energy resources in 2023. When comparing percentages in Schedule 3 of the PSD report and PCL, please note that these distinct reports apply different numeric rounding conventions so percentages may not match exactly. For EPIC Power100 customers, 100% of energy deliveries were sourced from renewable energy resources, including bundled and unbundled renewable energy products.

Recent changes to power source disclosure regulations have also altered how certain renewable energy purchases must be reported/reflected on the PCL. More specifically, “unbundled” renewable energy certificates (renewable energy attributes that are sold/purchased separately from associated electric power) must now be displayed outside the area in which “bundled” renewable energy purchases (renewable energy attributes that are sold/purchased with associated electric power) are reported. This adaptation to the PCL format may result in some customer confusion, as determining the total quantity of renewable energy purchased on behalf of each customer now requires the summation of two values: “Eligible Renewable” plus “Percentage of Retail Sales Covered by Retired Unbundled RECs”. EPIC is prepared to answer related questions, should they arise.

To fulfill its PSD Program reporting obligations for 2023, EPIC as a public agency, must provide the CEC with the City Council’s attestation regarding the accuracy of information included in each annual Power Source Disclosure Report (submitted to the CEC earlier in 2024, according to the applicable reporting deadline) and PCL, consistent with the following element of PSD Program regulations.

In the following excerpt from appliable regulations, subdivision (a)(1) refers to a third- party audit, which is unnecessary for public agencies, including the City.

Report to Mayor and City Council
Re: Approve EPIC’s 2023 Power Content Label and Attestation January 8, 2025

Page 3 ends

“A retail supplier that is a public agency providing electric services is not required to comply with the provisions of subdivision (a)(1) if the board of directors of the public agency submits to the Energy Commission an attestation of the veracity of each annual report and power content label for the previous year.”
While developing EPIC’s PCL, CalChoice and its technical consultants performed a detailed review of all power purchases completed for the 2023 calendar year. The review resulted in no inaccuracies or inconsistencies, which was subsequently entered in EPIC’s annual PSD report(s) and PCL. Consistent with applicable regulations, the PCL will be transmitted to all enrolled customers in the EPIC program via electronic communication or U.S. mail.

FISCAL IMPACT

The meetings provide a platform for elected and appointed people to unite in making key decisions on various aspects such as health, agriculture, environment, education, transport, development, and safety.

The measure of a City Council meeting’s effectiveness dramatically impacts the outcome of positive progress and effective decision-making.

 Poor focus on critical issues and matters;
 Slowed development and growth;
 Disorganized meetings and events;
 Conflicts and delays in meaningful discussions; and,
