RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommend that the City Council:

BACKGROUND

In accordance with Section 16 of the City and Successor Agency Investment Policy, the City Treasurer is required to prepare and present monthly and quarterly investment reports to the City Manager/Executive Director and the City Council/Board of Directors.

These reports include detailed information on each investment, including the investment type, issuer name, purchase date, maturity date, amount invested, and interest rate.

The monthly and quarterly investment reports provide an overview of the City and Successor Agency’s investment activity and portfolio performance. They summarize total assets, portfolio allocations, average maturities, yields, and book values. The interest rates presented reflect the most current rates available as of the report date.

Market values for pooled City and Successor Agency investments are based on closing prices as of the report date.

DISCUSSION

Compliance with Investment Policy

As of July, the City’s total investment portfolio was valued at $350,094,827, reflecting a decrease of $5,575,672 from the prior month and an increase of $34,178,104 compared to the same period last year. The month -over-month decrease is attributable to Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) transfer to General fund to cover operating expenditures for the month.

The Successor Agency’s portfolio had a par value of $9,349,102 as of July, representing a decrease of $531,142 from the previous month. Th e decrease is primarily attributed to the transfer of Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule’s (ROPS) Administrative portion to General Fund, and the Supplemental Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund’s (SERAF) portion to General Fund.

All investments are in full compliance with Section 8 of the City’s Investment Policy. The portfolios consist of a diversified mix of authorized investment instruments, including Certificates of Deposit, Corporate Notes, U.S. Treasury Securities, and Government Agency Securities, each maintained within established portfolio percentage limits.

The Finance Division serves as custodian of the City and Successor Agency investment portfolios and adheres to the three primary objectives outlined in the Investment Policy:

 Safeguard principal by investing in financial instruments that mitigate the risk of market-related losses;

 Maintain sufficient liquidity to meet anticipated cash flow needs; and

 Achieve a competitive market rate of return consistent with policy constraints.

Liquidity

Maintaining adequate liquidity to support operational requirements remains a key priority of the Finance Division. To support this objective, the City and Successor Agency invest in two pooled funds: the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and the California Asset Management Program (CAMP). These funds are designed to support daily operational needs and provide flexibility during periods of economic uncertainty. Their high liquidity ensures that both entities can meet ongoing cash flow demands.

At the end of July, the City’s LAIF balance totaled $1 31,517,112, a decrease of $6,558,209 from the prior month due to transfer to General Fund to cover operating expenses for the month. The Successor Agency’s LAIF balance was $ 4,106,929, an increase of $39,703 from the prior month due to earned interest for the month.

The City’s CAMP balance at the end of July was $55,294,199, compared to $55,117,148 in June. The increase is due to interest earned during the month.

The interest rates presented reflect the most current rates available as of the date of this report. As o f July 31, 2026, LAIF and CAMP were earning 3.840 percent and 3.78 percent, respectively. At the end of June, the rates were 3.816 percent for LAIF and 3.77 percent for CAMP. One year ago, LAIF and CAMP rates were 4. 258 percent and 4.41 percent, respectively.

The chart above shows the LAIF and CAMP average monthly yields from October 2025 through July 2026. Both investment pools experienced a gradual decline in yields during this period, reflecting the overall interest rate environment. CAMP initially provided higher yields than LAIF; however, beginning around December 2025, LAIF yields slightly exceeded CAMP yields and remained relatively more stable through July 2026. CAMP, on the other hand, appeared more sensitive to market fluctuations during this period.

Diversity

The Finance Division seeks to maintain a well -diversified investment portfolio in order to minimize exposure to risks associated with any single security type or financial institution.

The City and Successor Agency portfolios remain appropriately diversified in accordance with the Investment Policy. The accompanying monthly reports detail all investments held by both entities, including current book values as of July 31, 2026.

DISTRICT: ALL

SUBJECT: APPROVE AGREEMENT WITH AMERICAN BUSINESS MACHINES (ABM) FOR CITYWIDE MANAGED PRINT SERVICES FOR A TOTAL
NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF $883,810, FOR A FIVE-YEAR TERM

WITH THE OPTION TO EXTEND FOR TWO ADDITIONAL ONE-YEAR
TERMS

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommend that the City Council:

1. Approve Agreement No. A-10001 with ABM for citywide managed print services for a total not to exceed amount of $883,810, plus a 15% contingency amount of $132,570, for a five-year term with the option to extend for two additional one- year terms; and,

2. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute Agreement No. A -10001 with ABM, including minimal and/or non-substantive changes.

BACKGROUND

The City currently utilizes a citywide printer services agreement to provide multifunction devices, printers, maintenance, and related support services for City operations. The existing agreement was established for a 69 -month term and is scheduled to expire in September 2026. With the current agreement nearing expiration, the City is seeking a new citywide printer services lease agreement to ensure continued access to reliable printing equipment and support services.

DISCUSSION

On April 16, 2026, the City issued Request for Proposals (RFP No. 26 -001-1600) to obtain competitive proposals for Citywide Managed Print Services. The requested services included replacement of the City’s multifunction copier fleet, a managed Report to Mayor and City Council

In response to the RFP, six proposals were received. Consistent with the RFP procurement process, the evaluations prioritized the proposer’s o rganizational qualifications and experience, technical approach, staffing, and cost proposal. The table below summarizes the evaluation criteria used in this process:

Each evaluator independently scored the proposals for the following firms:

Following the evaluation process, ABM was determined to provide the best overall value to the City based on its technical approach, qualifications, staffing, and cost. ABM is an Antelope Valley-based business with experience serving public agencies in the region and will provide local on-site support.

Proposed Agreement No. A-10001 will establish a citywide managed print program that consolidates multifunction devices, desktop printers, maintenance, supplies, and Copy Center services under one agreement. Services include preventative maintenance, toner and consumable supplies (excluding paper), remote monitoring, equipment moves and changes, and on-site Copy Center staffing.

If Customer shall fail to pay or perform any Liabilities when due, Guarantors shall, upon demand, pay any amounts which may be due from Customer and take any action required of Customer under the Agreement.

This Guaranty may be terminated only upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to Lessor, and such termination shall be effective only as to Liabilities arising under schedules, supplements, or agreements entered into after the effective date of termination and shall not affect Lessor's rights under this Guaranty arising out of the Agreement or other agreements entered into prior to such date.

Guarantors waive all damages, demands, presentments and notices of every kind and nature, any rights of set-off, and any defenses available to a guarantor (other than the defense of payment and performance in full) under applicable law. Guarantors further waive any (i) notice of the incurring of indebtedness by Customer and the acceptance of this Guaranty, (ii) right to require suit against Customer or any other party before enforcing this Guaranty and (iii) right of subrogation to Lessor's rights against Customer until the Liabilities are satisfied in full.

OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT

INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Any warranty with respect to the Equipment made by the manufacturer, Dealer, or supplier is separate from, and is not a part of this Agreement, and shall be for the benefit of CFS, Customer, and CFS' successors or assignees, if any. So long as Customer is not in breach or default of this Agreement, CFS assigns to Customer any warranties (including those agreed to between Customer and the manufacturer, Dealer, or supplier) which CFS may have with respect to any item of Equipment; provided that the scope and limitations of any such warranty shall be solely as set out in any agreement between Customer and such manufacturer, Dealer, or supplier or as otherwise specified in warranty materials from such manufacturer, Dealer, or supplier and shall not include any implied warranties arising solely from Lessor’s acquisition of the Equipment. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NEITHER THE SUPPLIER NOR ANY DEALER IS

AUTHORIZED TO WAIVE OR ALTER ANY TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY SCHEDULE, OR TO MAKE ANY

REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EQUIPMENT ON BEHALF OF CFS.

6. ACCEPTANCE; DELIVERY: Customer's execution of the Acceptance Certificate, or other confirmation of Customer’s acceptance of the Equipment, shall conclusively establish that the Equipment has been delivered to and accepted by Customer for all purposes of this Agreement and Customer may not, for any reason, revoke that acceptance; however, if Customer has not, within ten (10) days after delivery of such Equipment, delivered to Lessor written notice of any non- acceptance, specifying the reasons therefor and specifically referencing this Agreement, Customer shall be deemed to have irrevocably accepted such Equipment. Lessor is the owner of the Equipment and has leased the Equipment to Customer under this Agreement. As between Lessor and Customer, this Agreement shall supersede any Customer purchase order in its entirety, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any such purchase order. Customer agrees to waive any right of specific performance of this Agreement and shall hold CFS harmless from damages if for any reason the Equipment is not delivered as ordered, if the Equipment is unsatisfactory, or if CFS does not accept assignment of this Agreement.

Customer agrees that any delay in delivery of the Equipment shall not affect the validity of this Agreement.

7. LOCATION; LIENS; NAMES; OFFICES: Customer shall not move the Equipment from the location specified herein except with the prior written consent of Lessor. Customer shall keep the Equipment free and clear of all claims and liens other than those in favor of Lessor.

Customer shall provide Lessor with written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to any change of its legal name, chief executive office address or its form of organization (including, without limitation, its jurisdiction of organization), and shall execute and deliver to Lessor such documents as required or appropriate.

Customer shall comply with all laws and regulations relating to the use and maintenance of the Equipment. Customer shall put the Equipment only to the use contemplated by the manufacturer. The Equipment shall remain personal property regardless of whether it becomes affixed to real property or permanently rests upon any real property or any improvement to real property.

9. INDEMNITY: Dealer is responsible for installation of the Equipment. Customer shall reimburse Lessor for and defend Lessor against any claim for losses or injury caused by the Equipment. This Section shall survive termination of this Agreement.

10.

Customer shall use reasonable care in handling and operation of the Equipment. Dealer shall have the right to inspect, repair and remove Equipment and/or read the meter at any time during Customer's business hours. Any service work made necessary by Customer's willful act or negligence (including, without limitation, damage to any photoreceptor copier drums (“Copier Drums”) and use of supplies other than those distributed by Dealer which cause abnormally frequent service calls or service problems), or any service work Customer may request to be performed outside regular business hours, shall be invoiced in accordance with Dealer's established service policies.

11. TAXES; OTHER FEES AND CHARGES: CUSTOMER SHALL PAY AND DISCHARGE WHEN DUE ALL LICENSE AND

REGISTRATION FEES, ASSESSMENTS, SALES, USE, PROPERTY AND OTHER TAXES, AND OTHER EXPENSES AND CHARGES, together with any applicable penalties, interest, and administrative fees now or at any time imposed upon any Equipment, the Payments, or Customer's performance or non-performance of its obligations hereunder, whether payable by or assessed to Lessor or Customer. If Customer fails to pay any such fees, assessments, taxes, expenses or charges as required hereunder, Lessor shall have the right but not the obligation to pay those fees, assessments, taxes, expenses and charges, and Customer shall promptly reimburse Lessor, upon demand, for all such payments made plus administrative fees and costs, if any. Customer acknowledges that, where required by law, Lessor will file any notices and pay personal property taxes levied on the Equipment. Customer shall reimburse Lessor for the expense of such personal property taxes as invoiced by Lessor and pay Lessor a processing fee not to exceed $50 per year per item of Equipment that is subject to such tax.

Customer agrees that Lessor has not, and will not, render tax advice to Customer, and that payment of such taxes is an administrative act. ON THE DATE OF THE FIRST SCHEDULED PAYMENT AND THE DATE OF THE FIRST SCHEDULED

PAYMENT AFTER THE ADDITION OF ANY EQUIPMENT, CUSTOMER SHALL PAY TO LESSOR A DOCUMENTATION FEE, IN THE AMOUNT OF $85, TO REIMBURSE LESSOR FOR ITS ADMINISTRATIVE AND RECORDING COSTS.

12. INSURANCE: Customer, at its sole cost and expense, shall, during the term hereof including all renewals and extensions, obtain, maintain and pay for (a) insurance against the loss, theft, or damage to the Equipment for the full replacement value thereof, and (b) comprehensive public liability and property damage insurance. All such insurance shall be with companies satisfactory to CFS. Each insurer providing such insurance shall name Lessor as additional insured and loss payee and provide Lessor thirty (30) days’ written notice before the policy in question shall be materially altered or canceled.

Customer shall pay the premiums for such insurance, shall be responsible for all deductible portions thereof, and shall deliver certificates or other evidence of insurance to Lessor. The proceeds of such insurance, at the option of Lessor, shall be applied to (a) replace or repair the Equipment, or (b) pay Lessor the “Remaining Lease Balance,” which shall be the sum of:
(i) all amounts then owed by Customer to Lessor under this Agreement; plus (ii) the present value of all remaining Payments for the full term of this Agreement; plus (iii) the “Asset Value,” which shall be: (A) for an Agreement with a $1.00 Purchase Option, $1.00; (B) for an Agreement with a Fair Market Value Purchase Option or no Purchase Option selected, the Fair Market Value of the Equipment (as defined herein), and (C) for an Agreement with an Other Purchase Option, the respective dollar amount of such Purchase Option indicated on the face of this Agreement; plus (iv) any applicable taxes, expenses, charges and fees. For purposes of determining present value under this Agreement, Payments shall be discounted at three percent (3%) per year. Customer hereby appoints Lessor as Customer's attorney-in-fact solely to make claim for, receive payment of, and execute and endorse all documents, checks, or drafts for any loss or damage under any such insurance policy. If within ten (10) days after Lessor's request, Customer fails to deliver satisfactory evidence of such insurance to Lessor, then Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain insurance covering Lessor’s interests in the Equipment, and add the costs of acquiring and maintaining such insurance, and an administrative fee, to the amounts due from Customer under this Agreement. Lessor and any of its affiliates may make a profit on the foregoing.

13. LOSS; DAMAGE: Customer assumes and shall bear the entire risk of loss, theft of, or damage to the Equipment from any cause whatsoever, effective upon delivery to Customer. No such loss, theft, or damage shall relieve Customer of any obligation under this Agreement. In the event of damage to any Equipment, Customer shall immediately repair such damage at Customer's expense. If any Equipment is lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair, Customer, at the option of Lessor, will (a) replace the same with like equipment in a condition acceptable to Lessor and convey clear title to such equipment to Lessor (and such equipment will become “Equipment” and be subject to the terms of this Agreement), or (b) pay Lessor the Remaining Lease Balance. Upon Lessor's receipt of the Remaining Lease Balance, Lessor shall transfer the applicable Equipment to Customer “AS IS, WHERE IS” without any representation or warranty whatsoever, except for title, and this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Equipment.

14. DEFAULT: Any of the following events or conditions shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement: (a) Customer defaults in the payment when due of any indebtedness of Customer to Lessor, whether or not arising under this Agreement, without notice or demand by Lessor; (b) Customer or any guarantor of Customer’s obligations hereunder (“Guarantor”) ceases doing business as a going concern; (c) Customer or any Guarantor becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (d) a petition or proceeding is filed by or against Customer or any Guarantor under any bankruptcy or insolvency law; (e) a receiver, trustee, conservator, or liquidator is appointed for Customer, any Guarantor, or any of their property; (f) any statement, representation or warranty made by Customer or any Guarantor to Lessor is incorrect in any material respect; or (g) Customer or any Guarantor who is a natural person dies.

15. REMEDIES: Upon the happening of any one or more Events of Default, Lessor shall have the right to exercise any one or all of the following remedies (which shall be cumulative), simultaneously, or serially, and in any order: (a) to require Customer to immediately pay all Payments hereunder (whether or not then due) and other amounts due under this Agreement, with Lessor retaining title to the Equipment; (b) to terminate any and all agreements with Customer; (c) with or without notice, demand or legal process, to enter upon the premises wherever the Equipment may be found, to retake possession of any or all of the Equipment, and (i) retain such Equipment and all Payments and other sums paid hereunder, or (ii) sell the Equipment and recover from Customer the amount by which the Remaining Lease Balance exceeds the net amount received by Lessor from such sale; or (d) to pursue any other remedy permitted at law or in equity. Lessor (i) may dispose of the Equipment in its then present condition or following such preparation and processing as Lessor deems commercially reasonable; (ii) shall have no duty to prepare or process the Equipment prior to sale; (iii) may disclaim warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment and the like; and (iv) may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Equipment and none of the foregoing actions shall be deemed to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of the disposition of the Equipment. If the Equipment is not available for sale, Customer shall be liable for the Remaining Lease Balance and any other amounts due under this Agreement. No waiver of any of Customer’s obligations, conditions or covenants shall be effective unless contained in a writing signed by Lessor. Failure to exercise any remedy that Lessor may have shall not constitute a waiver of any obligation with respect to which Customer is in default.

16. LATE CHARGES; EXPENSES OF ENFORCEMENT: If Customer fails to pay any sum to be paid by Customer to Lessor under this Agreement on or before the due date, Customer shall pay Lessor, upon demand, an amount equal to the greater of ten percent (10%) of each such delayed Payment or twenty-five dollars ($25) for each billing period or portion of a billing period such Payment is delayed, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law. The amounts specified above shall be paid as liquidated damages and as compensation for Lessor's internal operating expenses incurred in connection with such late payment. In addition, Customer shall reimburse Lessor for all of its out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in exercising any of its rights or remedies hereunder or in enforcing any of the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and collection agencies, whether or not suit is brought. If Lessor should bring court action, Customer and Lessor agree that attorney's fees equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the total amount sought by Lessor shall be deemed reasonable for purposes of this Agreement.

17. ASSIGNMENT: CUSTOMER SHALL NOT ASSIGN OR PLEDGE THIS AGREEMENT IN WHOLE OR IN PART, NOR SHALL CUSTOMER SUBLET OR LEND ANY EQUIPMENT WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF LESSOR. Lessor may pledge or transfer this Agreement. Customer agrees that if Lessor transfers this Agreement, the assignee will have the same rights and benefits that Lessor has now and will not have to perform any of Dealer's or CFS' obligations which Dealer or CFS will continue to perform. Customer agrees that the rights of the assignee will not be subject to any claims, defenses, or set-offs that Customer may have against Lessor. If Customer is given notice of any such transfer, Customer agrees, if so directed therein, to pay directly to the assignee all or any part of the amounts payable hereunder.

18. RENEWAL; RETURN: Except in the case of an Agreement containing a $1.00 Purchase Option, this Agreement shall automatically renew on a month-to-month basis at the same Payment amount and frequency unless Customer sends written notice to Lessor at least sixty (60) days before the end of the scheduled term or any renewal term that Customer either (i) shall exercise the Purchase Option in accordance with the terms hereof and at the end of such term exercises such Purchase Option, or (ii) does not want to renew this Agreement, and at the end of such term returns the Equipment as provided below.

Unless this Agreement automatically renews or Customer purchases the Equipment as provided herein, Customer shall, at the termination of this Agreement, return the Equipment at its sole cost and expense in good operating condition, ordinary wear and tear resulting from proper use excepted, to a location specified by Lessor. Lessor may charge Customer a return fee equal to the greater of one Payment or $250 for the processing of returned Equipment. If for any reason Customer shall fail to return the Equipment to Lessor as provided herein, Customer shall pay to Lessor upon demand one billing period's Payment for each billing period or portion thereof that such return is delayed. Customer shall reimburse Lessor for any costs incurred by Lessor to place the Equipment in good operating condition.

19. PURCHASE OPTION: (A) END OF TERM PURCHASE OPTION. To exercise this option, Customer shall give Lessor sixty (60) days’ prior irrevocable written notice (unless the Purchase Option is $1.00) that it will purchase all the Equipment at the end of the initial term or any renewal term for the Purchase Option price indicated on the face of this Agreement plus any applicable taxes, expenses, charges and fees. (B) PRIOR TO MATURITY PURCHASE. Customer may, at any time, upon sixty (60) days’ prior irrevocable written notice purchase all (but not less than all) the Equipment at a price equal to the sum of all remaining Payments plus the Fair Market Value, plus any applicable taxes, expenses, charges and fees. For purposes of this Agreement, “Fair Market Value” shall be Lessor's retail price at the time Customer notifies Lessor of its intent to purchase the Equipment. Upon proper notice and payment by Customer of the amounts specified above, Lessor shall transfer the Equipment to Customer “AS-IS WHERE-IS” without any representation or warranty whatsoever, except for title, and this Agreement shall terminate.

20. DATA: Customer acknowledges that the hard drive(s) on the Equipment, including attached devices, may retain images, content or other data that Customer may store for purposes of normal operation of the Equipment (“Data”). Customer acknowledges that CFS is not storing Data on behalf of Customer and that exposure or access to the Data by CFS or Dealer, if any, is purely incidental to the services performed by CFS and Dealer. Neither CFS nor Dealer nor any of their affiliates has an obligation to erase or overwrite Data upon Customer’s return of the Equipment to CFS. Customer is solely responsible for:
(A) its compliance with applicable law and legal requirements pertaining to data privacy, storage, security, retention and protection; and (B) all decisions related to erasing or overwriting Data. Without limiting the foregoing, if applicable, Customer should (i) enable the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) data erase functionality that is a standard feature on certain Equipment, and/or (ii) prior to return or other disposition of the Equipment, utilize the HDD (or comparable) formatting function (which may be referred to as “Initialized All Data/Settings” function) if found on the Equipment to perform a one pass overwrite of Data or, if Customer has higher security requirements, Customer may purchase from its Dealer at current rates an appropriate option for the Equipment, which may include (a) an HDD Data Encryption Kit option which disguises information before it is written to the hard drive using encryption algorithms, (b) an HDD Data Erase Kit that can perform up to a 3-pass overwrite of Data (for Equipment not containing data erase functionality as a standard feature), or (c) a replacement hard drive (in which case Customer should properly destroy the replaced hard drive). Customer shall indemnify Dealer and CFS, their subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all costs, expenses, liabilities, claims, damages, losses, judgments or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising or related to the storage, transmission or destruction of the Data. This section survives termination or expiration of this Agreement. The terms of this section shall solely govern as to Data, notwithstanding that any provisions of this Agreement or any separate confidentiality or data security or other agreement now or hereafter entered into between Customer, Dealer and CFS applies, or could be construed to apply to Data.

21. MAXIMUM INTEREST; RECHARACTERIZED AGREEMENT: No Payment is intended to exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged or collected by applicable laws, and any such excess Payment will be applied to payments due under this Agreement, in inverse order of maturity, and thereafter shall be refunded. If this Agreement is recharacterized as a conditional sale or loan, Customer hereby grants to Lessor, its successors and assigns a security interest in the Equipment to secure payment and performance of Customer's obligations under this Agreement.

22. UCC - ARTICLE 2A: CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT IS INTENDED AS A “FINANCE LEASE” AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN ARTICLE 2A OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE (“UCC 2A”),

23. GOVERNING LAW; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL: THIS AGREEMENT SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES BE DEEMED A CONTRACT ENTERED INTO IN, THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY. THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES UNDER

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES. ANY ACTION BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND LESSOR SHALL BE BROUGHT IN

ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF CAMDEN OR BURLINGTON, NEW JERSEY, OR AT LESSOR'S SOLE OPTION, IN THE STATE WHERE CUSTOMER OR THE EQUIPMENT IS LOCATED. CUSTOMER, BY

ITS EXECUTION AND DELIVERY HEREOF, IRREVOCABLY WAIVES OBJECTIONS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND OBJECTIONS TO VENUE AND CONVENIENCE OF FORUM. CUSTOMER, BY ITS EXECUTION AND

DELIVERY HEREOF, AND LESSOR, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDINGS.

24. MISCELLANEOUS: All notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall be sufficient if delivered personally, sent via facsimile or other electronic transmission, or mailed to such party at the address set forth in this Agreement, or at such other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time. Any notice from Lessor to Customer shall be effective three (3) days after it has been deposited in the mail, duly addressed. All such notices to Lessor from Customer shall be effective after it has been received via U.S. mail, express delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission. If there should be more than one party executing this Agreement as Customer, all obligations to be performed by Customer shall be the joint and several liability of all such parties. Customer's representations, warranties, and covenants under this Agreement shall survive the delivery and return of the Equipment. Any provision of this Agreement that may be determined by competent authority to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement. No such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Customer agrees that Lessor may insert missing information or correct other information on this Agreement including the Equipment's description, serial number, and location, and corrections to Customer’s legal name; otherwise, this Agreement contains the entire arrangement between Customer and Lessor and no modifications of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the parties.

The Customer warrants that it has funds available to pay the lease payments (''Payments") payable pursuant to the lease agreement (the "Agreement") between Customer and CFS until the end of its current appropriation period and warrants that it presently intends to make Payments in each appropriation period from now until the end of the Agreement. The officer of the Customer responsible for preparation of Customer's annual budget shall request from its legislative body or funding authority funds to be paid to CFS under the Agreement. If notwithstanding the making in good faith of such request in accordance with appropriate procedures and with the exercise of reasonable care and diligence, such legislative body or funding authority does not appropriate funds to be paid to CFS for the Equipment, Customer may, upon prior written notice to CFS, effective upon the exhaustion of the funding authorized for the then current appropriation period, return the Equipment to CFS, at Customer's expense and in accordance with the Agreement, and thereupon, Customer shall be released of its obligations to make Payments to CFS due thereafter, provided: (1) the Equipment is returned to CFS as provided for in the Agreement, (2) the above described notice states the failure of the legislative body or funding authority to appropriate the necessary funds as the reason for cancellation; and (3) such notice is accompanied by payment of all amounts then due to CFS.

In the event Customer returns the Equipment pursuant to the terms of this Addendum and the Agreement, CFS shall retain all sums paid by Customer. Customer's Payment obligations under this Agreement in any fiscal year shall constitute a current expense of Customer for such fiscal year, and shall not constitute indebtedness or a multiple fiscal year obligation of Customer under Customer's state constitution, state law or home rule charter. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute a pledge by Customer of any taxes or other monies, other than as appropriated for a specific fiscal year for this Agreement and the Equipment.

THREE-YEAR TERM THROUGH JULY 2027

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommend that the City Council:

The City utilizes GIS to support a wide range of municipal operations, including infrastructure management, planning, public safety, parks and recreation, economic development, and public access to information. GIS serves as an enterprise platform for maintaining geographic data, supporting data -driven decision -making, improving operational efficiency, and enhancing service delivery.

The City entered into Agreement No. A -8901 with Pro -West & Associates, Inc. (Pro - West) in July 2024 for specialized GIS professional services. Under the Agreement, Pro- West provides technical expertise and support in areas such as enterprise GIS administration, application development, systems integration, spatial data management, and strategic consulting.

DISCUSSION
Report to Mayor and City Council
Re: Approve Agrmt No. A-9801 First Amendment with Pro-West & Associates, Inc.

September 1, 2026

Page 2 ends

The City's use of GIS has continued to expand as departments identify opportunities to use geographic data and mapping technologies to streamline business processes, support operational needs, and improve access to information. As the numbe r and complexity of GIS initiatives have increased, the City requires continued access to specialized professional services to supplement existing resources and support ongoing and emerging projects.

Increasing the agreement amount will provide the City with flexibility to address planned and unforeseen GIS needs without conducting separate procurements for individual projects. This approach supports timely project delivery and promotes continuity and consistency across the City’s GIS environment. The additional funding will allow the City to use Pro-West on an as-needed basis for ongoing and emerging GIS projects during the agreement's remaining term.

Services may include enterprise GIS administration and support; application development; GIS database design and maintenance; integration with City systems and applications; spatial analysis and data visualization; development of dashboards and public-facing mapping applications; technical consulting and project management; and knowledge transfer.

FISCAL IMPACT

$218,820; Funds are budgeted and available in FY 2026-27 in the Information Technology Internal Service Fund accounts.

STRATEGIC PLAN

Goal III: Invest in infrastructure to improve community livability A. Seek innovative, cost effective, customer focused methods of service delivery.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

FROM: ECONOMIC & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIVISION

DISTRICT: ALL

SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. CC 2026 -053, A RESOLUTION OF THE

CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PAMDALE ESTABLISHING THE
COMMERCIAL FAÇADE AND AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES

ACT ( ADA) ACCESSIBILITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND

ADOPTING PROGRAM GUIDELINES

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommend that the City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution No. CC 2026-053 establishing the Commercial Façade and ADA Accessibility Improvement Program and adopting Program Guidelines;

2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to administer the Commercial Façade and ADA Accessibility Improvement Program consistent with the adopted Guidelines;

3. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to approve individual grant awards and execute grant agreements and related documents consistent with the adopted Program Guidelines and available appropriations; and,

4. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to make minor revisions to the Program Guidelines as necessary to improve program administration, maintain legal compliance, and implement the Program.

BACKGROUND

Maintaining attractive and accessible commercial corridors is an important component of economic development and community revitalization. Attractive storefronts enhance customer experience, encourage business investment, su pport property values, and contribute to the City's overall image.

Report to Mayor and City Council
Re: Reso No. CC 2026-053
September 1, 2026

Page 2 ends

Many commercial properties throughout Palmdale contain aging storefronts, deferred exterior maintenance, or accessibility improvements that can create barriers for customers and reduce the competitiveness of local businesses. While many property owners are willing to invest in their properties, the cost of exterior improvements can delay or prevent projects from moving forward.

The proposed Commercial Façade and ADA Accessibility Improvement Program provides a financial incentive to encourage property owners and business operators to undertake visible improvements that benefit both individual businesses and the community as a whole.

DISCUSSION

The Program provides grants of up to $25,000 for eligible façade and ADA accessibility improvements. By sharing project costs, the Program is intended to leverage private investment, improve commercial corridors, and encourage improvements that might otherwise be delayed. The program will prioritize funding based on the project's impact on the community. Grant awards are discretionary and subject to available appropriations.

Adoption of the Guidelines does not create an entitlement to funding or obligate the City to make grant awards.

Priorities include:

 Architectural Character: Restoration of façades, unique brick-and-mortar detailing, and cohesive color schemes that enhance the corridor's visual appeal.  Pedestrian Engagement: Instal lation of high -quality awnings, pedestrian -scale lighting, and large, transparent display windows.
 Modernization & Accessibility: Projects that directly address ADA compliance, structural code repairs, and sustainable building materials.

Eligible improvements include façade rehabilitation, storefront improvements, signage, lighting, landscaping, accessibility improvements, and other permanent exterior improvements identified in the Program Guidelines. Applications will be accepted quarterly and evaluated according to the competitive criteria established in the Program Guidelines.

FISCAL IMPACT

$100,000; Funds are budgeted in FY 2026-27 utilizing Measure AV budget appropriated for commercial beautification, revitalization, and accessibility improvements consistent with the Measure AV Expenditure Plan and applicable City policies. Additional funding sources may be utilized in the future, including other local, state, or federal funding sources, as they become available. Because grant awards are discretionary and subject Report to Mayor and City Council

to available appropriations, adoption of the Guidelines does not create an entitlement to funding or obligate the City to make grant awards.

3 Note: For purposes of this Program, “meaningful private investment” means a substantial financial contribution by the applicant toward the approved project that demonstrates a significant financial commitment by the applicant toward the approved project. In evaluating meaningful private investment, the City may consider the applicant’s financial contribution relative to the total project cost, the permanence of the proposed improvements, and the anticipated long-term public benefit.

2. Eligible Applicants

Tenant applicants must provide proof of authorization from the property owner as part of the application.

Priority may be given to projects that activate storefronts, improve highly visible commercial corridors, enhance customer experience, increase accessibility, or stimulate additional private investment.

To qualify for funding, applicants must also:

CEQA Compliance
8 Grant awards are subject to compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), where applicable. The City will determine the appropriate level of environmental review, including whether the project qualifies for a statutory or categorical exemption. Applicants shall cooperate with the City and provide any information reasonably necessary to complete environmental review prior to commencement of construction or disbursement of grant funds.

ADA Compliance Disclaimer
Applicants are solely responsible for ensuring that all project improvements comply with applicable federal, state, and local accessibility laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California accessibility requirements. Any required accessibility evaluations, Certified Access Specialist (CASp) reviews, architectural or engineering services, and related professional advice shall be obtained at the applicant's sole expense.

City review, approval, funding, inspections, or reimbursement under this Program do not constitute a determination, certification, or representation that the project complies with ADA or other accessibility laws. The City assumes no responsibility or liability for the design, construction, or legal sufficiency of accessibility improvements.

The City neither selects, recommends, supervises, nor warrants any contractor, designer, architect, engineer, or other professional retained by an applicant. The City assumes no responsibility or liability for contractor performance, workmanship, construction defects, project delays, contractual disputes, or any costs incurred by the applicant.

11. Monitoring, Reporting, and Closeout

The City may pursue any remedies available by law or contract.

13. Program Administration
The City’s Economic and Community Development Department will administer the Program. The Director of Economic and Community Development, or their designee, will serve as the Program Manager and coordinate with other City staff and consultants supporting the Program. Staff will review the applications and determine each applicant’s eligibility in accordance with the Program Guidelines. An outside contractor or consultant may be used to assist with outreach, intake, eligibility review, grant administration, inspections, and compliance monitoring.

14. Source of Funds
The Program is funded through Measure AV revenues appropriated by the City Council for commercial beautification, revitalization, and accessibility improvements consistent with the Measure AV Expenditure Plan and applicable provisions of the Palmdale Municipal Code.

The City Council may authorize additional local funding sources in the future. Any such funding shall remain subject to applicable laws, City policies, and these Program Guidelines.

SUBJECT: APPROVE SECOND AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH

ADVANCING COMMUNITIES TOGETHER (ACT) TO ALLOCATE
$333,141.25, FOR DEVELOPMENT OF 20 UNITS OF CRISIS

INTERIM HOUSING FOR THE DREAM VILLAGE PROJECT
LOCATED AT 38626 9TH STREET EAST

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommend that the City Council:

1. Approve Second Amendment to Agreement No. A-8464 with ACT to allocate an additional $333,141.25, for development of 20 units of crisis interim housing for the Dream Village project located at 38626 9th Street East; and,

2. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the Second Amendment to Agreement No. A -8464, and take all necessary actions to implement the approved actions, including minimal and/or non-substantial changes.

BACKGROUND

On July 14, 2020, the City Council approved the five -year plan (Plan) for the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development’s (HCD) Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program. The Plan identifies eligible activities to address local housing needs, including programs and services for indiv iduals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

PLHA funding is generated through the Building Homes and Jobs Act (Senate Bill 2), which established a $75 recording fee on certain real estate documents. Revenue generated through this fee provides an ongoing source of funding to local governments to support eligible housing-related activities and increase the supply and availability of affordable housing throughout California.

DISCUSSION
ACT is in the final stages of developing the Dream Village, a 20-unit crisis interim housing program located at 38626 9th Street East. The program is proposed to operate for a ten-year term and will provide safe, supportive interim housing for up to 20 adults experiencing homelessness.

In addition to interim housing, the Dream Village project will provide participants with comprehensive supportive services designed to promote housing stability and self - sufficiency. Services will include community engagement, housing navigation, case management, family reunification, health and wellness services, and workforce development programs. Through these services, ACT seeks to provide participants with a supportive and transformative environment that builds upon their individual strengths and resiliency, connects them with community resources, and assists them in achieving their goals toward long-term stability and permanent housing.

To date, ACT has completed significant site improvements necessary to support the project's development. Completed work includes site grading and retaining walls, as well as engineering services associated with the design of the sewer and utility infrastructure.

Electrical and water connections have been planned for each interim housing unit, and sewer lines have been installed to accommodate the 20-unit community. Completion of the project is estimated for March 2027. These improvements represent substantial progress toward completion of the project and the anticipated delivery of crisis interim housing and supportive services for individuals experiencing homelessness in the City of Palmdale.

FISCAL IMPACT

$333,141.25; Funds are budgeted and available in FY 2026 -27 using Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds.

STRATEGIC PLAN

Goal III: Invest in infrastructure to improve community livability and to plan and maintain safe and attractive neighborhoods, streets and facilities.

C. Plan and maintain safe and attractive neighborhoods, streets, facilities, and public spaces with exciting programming tha t promotes active fun for everyone.

development in California and are certified to review and inspect for energy codes. BV staff have reviewed plans, and inspected projects, which incorporate new technology, and complex energy code compliance. The firm has staff available to the City who are CAL Green as well as LEED AP Certified.

Civil/Grading Review - Optional
BV’s professional staff will familiarize themselves with all city, state, and federal requirements applicable to the project before beginning a review. Requirements for civil infrastructure originate from multiple sources including statutory requirements, local ordinances and design guidelines, federal requirements including ADA and NPDES, state requirements, and the requirements of any affected utilities, districts, or agencies.

BV has reviewed hundreds of projects for fire safety components, including NFPA 13, NFPA 72, and NFPA 101, among others.

Electronic Plan Review
Electronic plan review uses a software which presents customers with a convenient alternative solution to printing and delivering paper plans to City offices at zero cost. This modern solution has become especially valuable as municipalities seek to continue service delivery to communities while focusing on health and safety.

The proposed personnel have extensive experience using many commonly used platforms such as Citizen Serve, TrackIT , Adobe, Cityworks, Energov, CityTech, ProjectDox, Bluebeam, Central Square, Accela, and e-PlanSoft.

As part of this process, plans are first submitted as PDF files via a secure and confidential FTP site in which the client also has access. Our staff then reviews these plans and places comments and redlines directly on the plans, corresponding to areas needing revisions.

Next, redlined plans with comments are forwarded to, or placed on, the secure FTP site for the designers, engineers, and architects.

Plans may be revised and resubmitted via the method described.

Once all items are resolved, hard copy plans are sent to BV for approval stamps and signatures. Finally, the stamped and signed approved drawings are sent to the jurisdiction for permitting.

Pick Up and Delivery
BV assumes responsibility for the pickup and return of plans. All plans shall be picked up from the City offices within 24 hours of notification. Should the volume of work be sufficient, we propose to establish regular pick up of plans on a consistent basis. We will also utilize shipping courier, at no additional cost to the City.

Upon completion of each plan review, we will forward a copy of the correction list to the City and the applicant, by mail. When corrected plans are resubmitted, the previous procedure will be followed or the applicant may schedule an office visit to go over any corrections in person. When plans are completed they are stamped, signed and forwarded by BV staff. Our transmittal forms are customized for use unique to the City.

We can also designate a BV team member to be the courier for plan pick-up, delivery, and return. Our Administrative Assistant can also provides administrative and clerical support to relieve department manager or staff of administrative details.

BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES OVERVIEW
BV can provide inspection services for a single project that presents unique complexities due to its construction or size, or we can provide enough staff to handle all inspection services for an entire jurisdiction. Our building inspection services can be adjusted to provide a high level of coordination specifically suited to the design-build concept. Our inspectors are ICC certified and have extensive experience in the construction trades as well. Fast- track projects may be built into small phases based on incremental design and fabrication steps. In such cases, our inspection team keeps daily logs to track corrections and plan review changes.

BV’s inspection teams also provide on-call building inspection services to cover staff vacation time, peak work loads, specialized inspection activities, and any other situations that may arise.

These activities may include next-day inspections and same-day response to important or urgent requests.

17 PROPOSED STAFFING AND MANAGEMENT PLAN

CONFLICT AND ISSUE AVOIDANCE
BV’s approach to provide quality assurance for each team member’s performance, and to identify and resolve performance problems effectively. Performance Monitoring and Corrective Action are integral parts of project-specific QA/QC controls, as well project management approaches more broadly. So as to minimize issues for Clients, we have documented programs to ensure employees are technically qualified and trained to carry out their roles and responsibilities. BV’s approach to providing quality assurance for each team member’s performance requires communication and understanding of expectations and requirements. This is a multi-pronged approach and includes the features described below:

Example of Problem Resolution
Our inspectors have gained a wealth of experience working on all types of projects. We have worked with many of the past and current Project Managers and technical team and have learned what is expected of us.

Example #1

1. A recent learning experience: although a project had been approved per final inspection, if the system breaks and needs repair, those repairs are still under the responsibility of the Project Manager to inspect, document and photograph until which time a Certificate of Occupancy can be issued.

2. Upon discovery of the issues, BV worked with the contractor in collaborating with the engineer of record to evaluate and make recommendations of corrective actions.

3. BV verified the approved plans to determine the proper method of installations, and made recommendations for the proper repairs to the installations.

4. BV worked with the engineer of record on alternate methods/revisions on a solution where the incorrectly installed elements could be corrected in order to meet structural compliance.

BV has a steady flow of projects, and a large pool of resources to tap into should workload increase. Any project that comes in to our offices is reviewed on time, on budget and accurately. As a result of having a large staff, we are able to handle multiple projects large and small concurrently, without any negative impact to project turnaround times, project budgets, customer service or accuracy.

PERFORMING PROPOSED SERVICES
BV’s proposed key personnel will be available to perform the proposed services for the duration of the contract, on-site when requested by the City. BV acknowledges that no person designated as “key” to the proposed service shall be removed or replaced without the prior written concurence of the City. In addition, the City reserves the right to direct the proposer to remove any individual, including the key personnel, assigned to the resultant agreement.
