DISTRICT: 1, 3, 4
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. HA 2026-002, A RESOLUTION OF TH E
HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF PALMDALE DECLARING
CERTAIN AUTHORITY-OWNED PROPERTIES EXEMPT SURPLUS
LAND UNDER THE SURPLUS LAND ACT (SLA), AS AMENDED
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend that the Housing Authority:
1. Adopt Resolution No. HA 2026 -002, a Resolution of the Housing Authority of the City of Palmdale declaring certain Authority-owned properties identified therein as exempt surplus land pursuant to the SLA, as amended; and ,
2.

BACKGROUND
The former Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palmdale (“Redevelopment Agency”) acquired certain real propert ies in the City of Palmdale using Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Funds (collectively, the “Auth ority Properties”) . Between September 2012 and April 2015, the former Redevelopment Agency acquired the Authority Properties for use as Neighborhood Houses. Each house was strategically located in one of the Focus Neighborhoods, allowing staff to engage wi th residents and offer programs and assistance related to neighborhood preservation and revitalization.
Report to Chair and Commissioners of the Housing Authority Re: Resolution No. HA 2026-002 Surplus Land Act Exemption October 6, 2026
The neighborhood houses provided targeted services to improve housing conditions and the physical and social environments for predominantly low-income residents.
The former Redevelopment Agency was dissolved on February 1, 2012. Pursuant to the Dissolution Act, on January 2, 2012, the City Council of the City of Palmdale designated the Housing Authority of the City of Palmdale (“Housing Authority”) as the entity responsible for performing the housing functions previously performed by the former Redevelopment Agency. Consequently, title to the Authority Properties was transferred to the Housing Authority, which is now its owner. The Authority Properties are comprised of the following parcels:
1. APN 3008-010-906 - 0.18 acres located at 503 East Avenue Q3, which is currently being used as a neighborhood house/food pantry by local non -profits, known as the Yucca Neighborhood House;
2. APN 3008-010-907 - 0.18 acres located adjacent to 503 East Avenue Q3, vacant land which is currently being used as a community garden for seniors to have garden plots; known as Yucca Neighborhood garden;
3. APN 3012 -014-900 - 0.16 acres located at 1129 East Avenue R4 , which is currently being used as a neighborhood house by local non -profits, known as Tumbleweed Neighborhood House;
4. APN 3021-005-900 - 0.17 acres located at 38627 32nd Street East , which is currently being used as a neighborhood house by local non -profits, known as Manzanita Neighborhood House; and,
5. APN 3008-016-902 - 0.19 acres located at 38553 4th Street East, currently vacant land which had been used as a neighborhood house by local non-profits, known as Gabriel’s Neighborhood House.
The SLA provides that land no longer necessary for a local agency’s use shall be declared either “surplus land” or “exempt surplus land” before taking any action to sell or lease the land. The Housing Authority wishes to sell the Authority Properties acquired with former Redevelopment Agency Low - and Moderate -Income Housing Funds to eligible households, entities, non-profit organizations, or other qualified organizations in compliance with the affordability requirements of the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Sections 33000, et seq.) for low - and moderate-income housing purposes and desires to declare the Authority Properties as exempt surplus land in accordance with the SLA.
DISCUSSION
The SLA provides that the Housing Authority may declare the Authority Properties to be “exempt surplus land” under the SLA if the Authority meets one of the exemptions set forth in the SLA for “exempt surplus land” as outlined within Government Code Section 54221(f) and provided below:
Report to Chair and Commissioners of the Housing Authority Re: Resolution No. HA 2026-002 Surplus Land Act Exemption October 6, 2026
Surplus land that is less than one-half acre in area and is not contiguous to land owned by a state or local agency that is used for open space or low - and moderate-income housing purposes.
Each of the Authority Properties is less than one-half acre in area. None of the Authority Properties is contiguous to land owned by a state or local agency. None of the Authority Properties falls under any one of the following categories:
(A) Within a coastal zone.
(B) Adjacent to a historical unit of the State Parks System. (C) Listed on, or determined by the State Office of Historic Preservation to be eligible for, the National Register of Historic Places. (D) Within the Lake Tahoe region as defined in Section 66905.5.
The Housing Authority wishes to sell the Authority Properties acquired w ith former Redevelopment Agency Low- and Moderate -Income Housing Funds to eligible households, entities, non -profit organizations, or other qualified organizations in compliance with the affordability requirements of the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Sections 33000, et seq. ) (“Community Redevelopment Law”) for low- and moderate-income housing purposes. Upon each sale of the Authority Properties, long -term affordability covenants will be recorded on the property to ensure the property remains affordable to low- and moderate -income households in compliance with the affordability requirements of the Community Redevelopment Law.
The Authority Properties meet all of the criteria for “exempt surplus land” under Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(B). Any future business concerning the disposition or sale of the Authority Properties will be brought back to the City Council for review and consideration.
FISCAL IMPACT
$10,000. There is no fiscal impact associated with the Housing Authority's action to submit to HCD; however, there is a fiscal impact for an updated appraisal of each property estimated at $10,000.
STRATEGIC PLAN
Goal III: Invest in infrastructure to improve community livability.
C. Plan and maintain safe and attractive neighborhoods, streets, facilities, and public spaces with exciting programming that promotes active fun for everyone.

Steve Ling commented on super commuters spending tax dollars in neighboring cities, local crime statistics, and schools. Jason Zink discussed Measure PD and funding provided to AV Edge and the Auto Mall.
Mayor Pro Tem Bishop proposed a substitute motion to temporarily authorize a reduction in the sales tax rate to 10.75% to align with neighboring cities. City Attorney Severino advised that the City cannot reduce the sales tax, but can defer it.
Mayor Ohlsen explained that Measure PD authorized the city to increase its tax by one percent. The city immediately implemented a half of percent, deferred a quarter of percent to 28 or 29, and the second quarter percent to 29 or 30. Then Mayor Ohlsen made a motion to not implement the future money, leave the half of percent on the books and for now reject the future half of percent.
The City Council engaged in further discussion regarding available options, including deferring future Measure PD increases by resolution. The consensus was to defer the future implementation of the remaining Measure PD increases while continuing to evaluate additional options.
13 Motion: Defer the future implementation of Measure PD.
Moved by Eric Ohlsen, seconded by Richard J. Loa.

DISCUSSION
Compliance with Investment Policy
As of August, the City’s total investment portfolio was valued at $349,589,965, a decrease of $4,769,596 from the prior month and an increase of $33,259,809 over the same period last year. The monthly decrease primarily reflects an $8,000,000 transfer from the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) to the General Fund for debt service payments and investment purchases of $3,000,000 in corporate bonds and government agency securities.
The Successor Agency’s portfolio had a par value of $ 9,340,453 as of August, representing a decrease of $8,649 from the previous month. The decrease is attributed to the operational expenses paid in the current month.
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 August, the City’s LAIF balance totaled $123,517,112, a decrease of $8,000,000 from the prior month, primarily due to transfers made to diversify th e City’s investment portfolio and to fund operating expenses and debt service payments for the month. The Successor Agency’s LAIF balance was $ 2,606,929, a decrease of Report to Mayor and City Council
Re: Monthly Investment Report August 2026
October 6, 2026
$1,500,000 from the prior month due to transfers to the Successor Agency bank to cover debt service payments for the month.
The City’s CAMP balance at the end of August was $ 55,472,426, compared to $55,294,199 in July. 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 of August 31, 2026, LAIF and CAMP were earning 3.863 percent and 3.80 percent, respectively. At the end of July, the rates were 3.840 percent for LAIF and 3.78 percent for CAMP. One year ago, LAIF and CAMP rates were 4. 251 percent and 4.40 percent, respectively.
The chart above compares the average monthly yields of the City’s LAIF and CAMP investment pools from November 2025 through August 2026. Both investment pools experienced a gradual decline in yields from November through April of 2026, followed by a period of stabilization and modest increases beginning in May. LAIF yields remained slightly above CAMP yields for most of the period and ended August 2026 at
3.86%, compared to 3.80% for CAMP.
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.

City Council Staff Report
DATE: OCTOBER 6, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
HOUSING DIVISION
DISTRICT: 1
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. CC 2026-057, A RESOLUTION OF THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALMDALE AUTHORIZING THE
EXECUTION OF A SECTION 108 LOAN GUARANTEE AGREEMENT
WITH THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND
URBAN DEVELOPMENT (HUD) FOR A $6,432,000 LOAN TO
FINANCE THE CONSTRUCTIO N OF A NEW FACILITY LOCATED
AT 38820 3RD STREET EAST TO RELOCATE THE SAVES
PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend that the City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2026-057, authorizing the execution of a Section 108 Loan Guarantee Agreement with the HUD for a $6,432,000 loan to finance the construction of a new facility located at 38820 3rd Street East to relocate the SAVES program; and,
2. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the Section 108 Loan Guarantee Agreement and all related documents necessary to implement the loan.
BACKGROUND
The City operates South Antelope Valley Emergency Services (SAVES), a vital program that provides food and supportive services to low-income individuals and families in the community. Since 1983 , SAVES has provided food assistance, short -term shelter assistance, clothing, transportation passes, holiday assistance, and back -to-school support. SAVES currently operates from the City -owned facility located at 1002 East Avenue Q-12. The existing facility is overutilized and has limited space to support current program operations and storage needs. To address these limitations, the City identified a larger location at 38820 3rd Street East to provide additional program and storage space Report to Mayor and City Council
Re: Reso No. 2026-057, Section 108 Loan Guarantee Agreement October 6, 2026
and increase SAVES' capacity to serve more community members.
The proposed facility will be located on an approximately 1.67 -acre site and will include a new prefabricated building, additional storage capacity, office and program space, updated refrigeration and freezer capacity, accessible restrooms, and improved parking and site access. These improvements will provide additional space to support SAVES operations, food storage, distribution, and service delivery.
Section 108 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 allows Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement communities to leverage future CDBG allocations to obtain financing for eligible large -scale community development projects.
CDBG provides the City with annual federal funding for eligib le activities that primarily benefit low - and moderate -income residents. To help finance the relocation, the City Council authorized the City Manager or his designee to submit a Section 108 Loan application to HUD on February 18, 2025. HUD approved the City’s request for a Section 108 Loan Guarantee and provided the City with the Agreement for Loan Guarantee Assistance under Section 108 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 5308 (Section 108 Agreement), along with the associated implementing documents for execution.
DISCUSSION
The proposed SAVES facility is an important investment in the City’s ability to serve residents by providing additional space for program operations, consolidating off -site storage, and supporting the continued delivery of food assistance and other supportive services.
The Section 108 Loan Guarantee is a key part of the City’s financing strategy for the project. By leveraging future CDBG funds, the City can immediately finance a project of this scale. The City may repay the loan before the end of its term, subject to the Section 108 Agreement and applicable HUD requirements.
As a condition of receiving the Section 108 loan proceeds , the City must pledge certain collateral as security for the loan and prepare, execute, and maintain custody of the applicable security documents. Approval of the proposed action will allow the City to satisfy these requirements and use the loan proceeds for eligible in frastructure and construction costs associated with the new SAVES facility . The following real property and property interests will be included in the Borrower Authorization and Pledge of Security:
The Senior Center located at 930 East Avenue Q-9 (APN 3009-024-933); Two parcels on 3rd Street East (APNs 3006-008-923 and 3006-008-924); 38513 and 38741 Sierra Highway (APNs 3008-028-920 and 3008-029-920); and, Report to Mayor and City Council
Re: Reso No. 2026-057, Section 108 Loan Guarantee Agreement October 6, 2026
The proposed SAVES site located at 38820 3rd Street East (APN 3006-008-925).
FISCAL IMPACT
$9,820,912; Consisting of the principal loan amount of $6,432,000, which is subject to an interest rate of 4.42%, totaling $3,388,912 over the proposed repayment term of 20 years.
Funds are to be repaid using a portion of the City’s annual federal CDBG enti tlement grant allocations. There is no fiscal impact to the City’s general fund.
STRATEGIC PLAN
Goal II: Ensure long-term fiscal health of the City and maintain funding for services.
A. Manage resources, costs, and liabilities to ensure the City’s long-term fiscal health.

Exhibit B
City Council Staff Report
DATE: OCTOBER 6, 2026
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
ENVIRONMENTAL DIVISION
DISTRICT: ALL
SUBJECT: ENERGY FOR PALMDALE'S INDEPENDENT CHOICE (EPIC) – 2025
POWER SOURCE DISCLOSURE ATTESTATION
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend that the City Council:
1. Formally attest to the accuracy of the information included in the 202 5 Annual Power Source Disclosure (PSD) Report prepared based on the California Choice Energy Authority’s (CalChoice) technical review for the EPIC community choice aggregation (CCA) program.
BACKGROUND
To fulfill its Power Source Disclosure Program reporting obligations for 202 5, Energy for Palmdale’s Independent Choice (EPIC), as a public agency, must provide the C alifornia Energy Commission (CEC) with the City Council’s attestation regarding the accuracy of information included in the annual Power Source Disclosure Report.
We request that the City Council p rovide the attestation specified under California’s Power Source Disclosure (PSD) Program, which requires the governing council of a public agency providing retail electric service to endorse the accuracy of the annual report, as submitted to the CEC, for the previous year. In the case of EPIC, such attestation will be based on the California Choice Energy Authority’s (CalChoice) technical review and will address the 202 5 Annual Report prepared for the EPIC community choice aggregation (CCA) program.
EPIC is required to submit this staff report and related meeting minutes to the CEC per PSD Program regulations to demonstrate compliance. For the 2025 reporting cycle, CEC staff generated the Power Content Labels (PCLs) on behalf of retail suppliers, including EPIC.
Report to Mayor and City Council
Re: EPIC - 2025 Power Source Disclosure Attestation
October 6, 2026
In accordance with statewide program requirements, EPIC's completed 2025 PCL was displayed on the EPIC website prior to October 1, 2026, and written promotional materials will be distributed to customers on or before December 31, 2026. Formal City Council attestation is being presented at this time to complete the administrative record for submission to the CEC.
DISCUSSION
California Public Utilities Code requires all retail sellers of electric energy, including EPIC, to disclose “accurate, reliable, and simple -to-understand information on sources of energy” that are delivered to their respective customers via an annual PCL. The PCL is analogous to a nutrition label, conveying information about the various power sources and products procured on behalf of each retail electricity customer. Each of California’s retail electricity sellers, including EPIC, will 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 Power Source Disclosure Program. Information presented in each PCL includes the proportionate share of the total energy supply for specific fuel sources/resource categories, covering both renewable and conventional generating technologies.
An emission factor for each retail service offering, as calculated using the CEC’s prescribed methodology, is also provided in the PCL. If a retail seller procures a certain percentage of its energy requirements from the market at large (meaning, sources of power that cannot be traced back to a specific gen erator), the PCL must identify such purchases as “unspecified sources of power.” It is common for most retail electricity sellers to utilize “unspecified power.”
In accordance with statewide mandates and internally adopted planning targets, EPIC procured a substantial portion of its electric energy supply from generating resources utilizing various renewable fuel sources in 2025. Renewable fuel sources may include biomass and waste, eligible hydroelectricity, solar, geothermal, and wind.
For “EPIC Power” customers, 4 9% of the total energy supply was sourced from Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) -eligible ( CEC-certified) renewable energy resources in 2025. RPS-eligible (CEC -certified) renewable energy resources are a narrower category of energy resource s that meet not only federal renewable energy standards but also California’s specific legal requirements to count toward the RPS. A total of 67% of the energy supply was sourced from RPS-eligible renewable energy and other zero-carbon resources (including large hydroelectric and nuclear generation).
Report to Mayor and City Council
Re: EPIC - 2025 Power Source Disclosure Attestation
October 6, 2026
For EPIC “Power 100”, 100% of the energy delivered was sourced from renewable energy resources.
While developing EPIC’s data for the 2025 PCL, CalChoice and its technical consultants performed a detailed review of all power purchases completed for the 2025 calendar year.
The review conducted by CalChoice and its technical consultants found no inaccuracies or inconsistencies in that information, which was subsequently entered into EPIC’s annual Power Source Disclosure (PSD) report.
To fulfill its PSD attestation requirements for 2025, Council is being asked to provide an attestation regarding the veracity of information reflected in EPIC’s 2025 Annual PSD Report.
Consistent with applicable regulations, the 2025 PCL was posted on the EPIC website prior to October 1, 2026, and all customers currently enrolled in the EPIC program will receive the 2025 PCL via electronic communication or U.S. mail on or befor e December 31, 2026.
Based on technical reviews previously completed by staff and CalChoice, staff recommend that Council provide the requisite attestation at this time. Upon approval, a copy of this staff report and related meeting minutes will be forwa rded to the CEC, finalizing EPIC’s attestation requirements under California’s Power Source Disclosure Program for the 2025 calendar year.

Instructions
1. Enter electricity portfolio names in cells Q27-V27, as needed.
2. Enter the megawatt hours (MWh) of retail sales associated with electricity portfolios in cells Q25-V25, as needed, and the MWh associated with other end uses in cell W25.
3. In the table beginning with cell A28, enter information about all specified purchases. All fields in white should be filled out. Fields in grey auto-populate as needed and should not be filled out.
4. Default loss factors will auto-populate based on resource location. Enter a custom loss factor if applicable. All custom loss factors require additional documentation.
5. If a resource’s losses are covered by the generation seller under contract, select “Yes” in the relevant cell in column M: “Specified Losses Covered by Seller?”
6. For firmed-&-shaped procurements specifically, enter all fields from step 3. Additionally, enter the EIA ID of the substitute power in the "EIA ID of Delivered Energy" field.
7. For firmed-&-shaped procurements eligible for grandfathered GHG emissions, select "Yes" in the relevant field in column L: "Eligible for Firmed & Shaped Grandfathering?"
8. Proxy EIA IDs for unspecified power and specified system mixes from asset-controlling suppliers have been provided. Enter "Unspecified Power", "BPA", or "Tacoma Power" as applicable.
9. Proxy EIA IDs for aggregated reporting of WAPA CVP or PCIA resources have been provided. Enter "CVP", "PCIA Solar", "PCIA Wind", "PCIA Eligible Hydro", or "PCIA Large Hydro" as applicable.
10. Only unspecified imports purchased directly from a seller under contract or ACS unspecified power procurements must be entered as line items; any additional unspecified power is calculated automatically in individual electricity portfolio tables after all specified resources are allocated.
11. Allocate net MWhs procured to each electricity portfolio until the loads are balanced across each portfolio. If the total Net MWhs Procured exceeds the total retail sales of all portfolios, allocate only enough MWh to meet the retail sales of each portfolio.
12. If electricity portfolio loads are balanced and net MWhs remain, allocate net MWhs to cover losses in the column starting with cell X28. This will add new losses, resulting in a new net short of unmet load in Cell X26. For retail suppliers that want to cover 100% of their loss- adjusted load with specified procurements, continue allocating specified procurement in Column X until Cell X26 shows no unmet load.

The proposed First Amendment exercises the first contractual one -year option provided under the original agreement, extending the existing contract term through December 31, 2027; it does not establish a new or separate extension outside the terms of the original agreement. However, repair needs have since exceeded initial projections, prompting the need for additional contract funding for these services.
DISCUSSION
During Fiscal Year 2025 -26, expenditures for required fire system repairs were significantly higher than anticipated. Multiple systems required corrective work to comply with applicable fire and life -safety codes, inspection requirements, and regulatory standards, including applicable National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 25) standards and Los Angeles County Fire Department requirements. Se veral additional deficiencies were identified during routine annual and five-year inspections, most notably the need for full replacement of a kitchen hood suppression unit that no longer met applicable code requirements. These unanticipated corrective rep airs consumed a substantial portion of the contract’s available funding.
In addition to the corrective work completed during the prior fiscal year, the City’s most recent fire system inspections identified approximately $35,000 in anticipated repairs and compliance-related work for Fiscal Year 2026-27. This work includes the required 20-year sprinkler head testing at the Library, Oasis Recreation Center, and DryTown Water Park, as well as corrective repairs identified through the inspection process. Completion of this work is necessary to maintain the City’s fire protection syst ems in accordance with applicable fire and life-safety requirements and to support the continued safe and reliable operation of City facilities.
The combination of higher -than-anticipated repair costs in FY 2025 -26 and the compliance-related work required in FY 2026 -27 will exhaust the available contract capacity. Approximately $35,000 is anticipated for identified repairs and compliance - related work, with an additional $40,000 required for annual testing and inspections in accordance with applicable fire and life -safety codes, inspection requirements, and regulatory standards. Accordingly, an additional $75,000 in contract capacity is required, increasing the Agreement’s total not-to-exceed amount from $90,000 to $165,000.
Approval of the proposed First Amendment will extend the agreement through December 2027, increase the not-to-exceed amount, and allow the City to complete required fire system inspections, testing, and repairs needed to maintain compliance with all state and Report to Mayor and City Council
