City Council Public Comment Updates
July 9, 2024
From the June 25, 2024 City Council Meeting:

Commenter Request/Issue/Concern Action/Comment
Residents from
7230 Richfield St
(Alicia Perez,
Alfredo Banuelos,
Elnora Jackson,
Kanesha Cherry,
Evelyn Brooks)
The residents expressed
concerns about the
expenses and safety issues
related to the City's request
to remove window bars from
their homes.

During the Council meeting,
Public Safety spoke with the
residents in attendance. The
residents were able to show
evidence that their window bars
were grandfathered in due to the
timeframe the bars existed, and
therefore, their removal was not
required. The Public Safety team
has scheduled a Neighborhood
Watch meeting on July 24th for
this neighborhood. During this
meeting, LASD will talk about
other safety concerns impacting
their neighborhood.

Erik Tanaka
Resident near
Hunsaker/Atlantic Pl
The resident had an issue
with the response and
customer service provided
by LASD when he reported
a recent street intersection
takeover at Hunsaker and
Atlantic Place.

Public Safety contacted Mr.

Tanaka and informed him of the
City’s zero-tolerance street racing
forfeiture program and extensive
street takeover enforcement
efforts. Staff also informed him
that Public Works is exploring
additional mitigation measures,
like the possibility of installing a
temporary traffic circle at that
intersection while a permanent
traffic circle is being designed. Lt.

Morales is also addressing the
customer service concerns raised
about Lakewood Station’s
Dispatch staff to ensure they relay
accurate information about
Paramount’s street racing
response to the public.

To: Honorable City Council
From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Margarita Matson, Public Safety Director
Steven Coumparoules, Community
Preservation Manager
Date: July 9, 2024
SUBJECT: HOME-ARP PROGRAM SUBRECIPIENT CONTRACT WITH FAMILY PROMISE OF SOUTH BAY FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025

BACKGROUND
Family Promise of South Bay is an organization that uses a community-based approach to address the complex issues surrounding homelessness and engages the local community and faith-based organizations to deliver resources effectively. Families in their program receive a full host of resources, support, and training as they work toward their own stability and self-reliance. In July of 2023, the City entered into an agreement with Family Promise of the South Bay to service the needs of Paramount families experiencing homelessness. The term of the agreement was from July 2023 through June 30, 2024, in an amount not to exceed $135,000. This agreement was funded utilizing HOME-ARP Grant funds. Between July 1, 2023, and June 30, 2024, City personnel and Paramount Unified School District counselors referred families to Family Promise of South Bay. Over the past year, Family Promise of South Bay staff assessed 50 families, serviced 26, and permanently housed 4.

DISCUSSION
On September 15, 2022, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) allocated the City of Paramount $1,087,336 in HOME-ARP funds. The City considered all the eligible activities for this funding and assessed the best way to serve the qualifying populations given the available resources and identified gaps in current services. To best serve the community’s needs, staff proposes appropriating 60% ($652,402) of its HOMEARP funds to Supportive Services to assist qualifying residents.

Family Promise of South Bay is available to Paramount residents experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness pursuant to the scope of services outlined in the sub-recipient contract (Attachment) program description (Exhibit A of the Attachment).

By utilizing effective problem-solving techniques, Family Promise of South Bay’s case managers will evaluate families and provide the appropriate resources such as shelter expenses, move-in assistance, motel/hotel stays, transportation expenses, employment readiness, educational material for financial literacy, rental/mortgage assistance (not to exceed $2,000 per household), and case management.

Agenda Report July 9, 2024

VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No 1: Safe Community - Provide a safe place to live, work, and visit.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve and authorize the City Manager to enter into the HOME-ARP program subrecipient contract with Family Promise of South Bay in the amount of $150,000. 1 Rev. 06/25/24

AGREEMENT FOR HOME-ARP PROGRAM SUBRECIPIENT CONTRACT WITH FAMILY PROMISE OF SOUTH BAY FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 SERVICES THIS AGREEMENT is made and effective as of July 1, 2024, between City of Paramount, a municipal corporation ("City") and, Family Promise of South Bay ("Vendor"). In consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

1. TERM
This Agreement shall be effective July 1, 2024 and shall terminate on June 30, 2025.

2. SERVICES
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Vendor shall perform the scope of work identified in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

This includes but is not limited to providing all services necessary for City. If there is any conflict between Exhibit “A” and this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

3. PERFORMANCE
Vendor shall employ, at a minimum, generally accepted standards and practices utilized by persons engaged in providing similar services as are required of Vendor hereunder in meeting its obligations under this Agreement.

4. MANAGEMENT
The City’s City Manager or designee shall represent City in all matters pertaining to the administration of this Agreement and shall review and approve all services submitted by Vendor. The Public Safety Director is authorized to execute all necessary documents.

5. PAYMENT
(a) The City agrees to pay Vendor, in accordance with the payment rates and terms and the schedule of payment as set forth in Vendor’s proposal, Exhibit “A”, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein.
(b) Vendor shall not be compensated for any services rendered in connection with its performance of this Agreement, which are in addition to those set forth herein, unless such additional services are authorized in advance and in writing by the Public Safety Director; provided, however, the Public Safety Director may approve additional work not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the amount of the Agreement but not to exceed ten-thousand dollars ($10,000). Vendor shall not be compensated for any additional services in the amounts greater than 2 Rev. 06/25/24
that authorized herein by the Public Safety Director unless agreed to by the City Council.
(c) Vendor will submit invoices for services based on the schedule of payment as set forth in Exhibit “A”. Invoices shall be submitted on a monthly basis for services provided. If the City disputes any of Vendor's fees it shall give written notice to Vendor within two (2) weeks of receipt of an invoice of any disputed fees set forth on the invoice.

6. SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT WITHOUT CAUSE (a) The City may at any time, for any reason, with or without cause, suspend or terminate this Agreement, or any portion hereof, by serving upon the Vendor at least thirty (30) days prior written notices. Upon receipt of said notice, the Vendor shall immediately cease all work under this Agreement, unless the notice provides otherwise. If the City suspends or terminates a portion of this Agreement such suspension or termination shall not make void or invalidate the remainder of this Agreement.
(b) In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, the City shall pay the Vendor for services up to the date of termination based on the schedule of payment as set forth in Exhibit “A”. Upon termination of the Agreement pursuant to this Section, the Vendor will submit an invoice to the City pursuant to Section 5.

7. DEFAULT OF VENDOR
(a) The Vendor's failure to comply with the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a default. In the event that Vendor is in default for cause under the terms of this Agreement, City shall have no obligation or duty to continue compensating Vendor for any work performed after the date of default and can terminate this Agreement immediately by written notice to the Vendor. If such failure by the Vendor to make progress in the performance of work hereunder arises out of causes beyond the Vendor's control, and without fault or negligence of the Vendor, it shall not be considered a default. (b) If the City determines that the Vendor is in default in the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, City shall cause to be served upon the Vendor a written notice of the default. The Vendor shall have ten (10) days after service upon it of said notice in which to cure the default by rendering a satisfactory performance. In the event that the Vendor fails to cure its default within such period of time, the City shall have the right, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to terminate this Agreement without further notice and without prejudice to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law, in equity or under this Agreement.
3 Rev. 06/25/24

8. INDEMNIFICATION
Vendor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City, and its officers, employees and agents, from and against any and all causes of action, claims, liabilities, obligations, judgments, or damages, including reasonable legal counsels’ fees and costs of litigation (“claims”), arising out of the Vendor’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement or out of the operations conducted by Vendor, except for such loss or damage arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City. In the event the City indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or other adversarial proceeding arising from Vendor’s performance of this Agreement, the Vendor shall provide a defense to the City indemnitees or at the City’s option, reimburse the City indemnities their costs of defense, including reasonable legal fees, incurred in defense of such claims.

Payment by City is not a condition precedent to enforcement of this indemnity. In the event of any dispute between Vendor and City, as to whether liability arises from the sole negligence of the City or its officers, employees, or agents, Vendor will be obligated to pay for City’s defense until such time as a final judgment has been entered adjudicating the City as solely negligent. Vendor will not be entitled in the absence of such a determination to any reimbursement of defense costs including but not limited to attorney’s fees, expert fees and costs of litigation.

9. NON-LIABILITY OF CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
No officer or employee of City will be personally liable to Vendor, in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount that may become due to Vendor.

10. INSURANCE
Without limiting Vendor’s indemnification of City, and prior to commencement of Work, Vendor shall obtain, provide and maintain at its own expense during the term of this Agreement, policies of insurance of the type and amounts described below and in a form that is satisfactory to City.

General liability insurance. Vendor shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended. Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted.

Automobile liability insurance. Vendor shall maintain automobile insurance at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CA 00 01 covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the Vendor arising out of or in connection with Work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for any owned, hired, non-owned or rented vehicles, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for each accident.
4 Rev. 06/25/24
Workers’ compensation insurance. Vendor shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance (Statutory Limits) and Employer’s Liability Insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000).

Vendor shall submit to City, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers.

Other provisions or requirements
Proof of insurance. Vendor shall provide certificates of insurance to City as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers’ compensation. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by City’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with City at all times during the term of this contract. City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.

Duration of coverage. Vendor shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Work hereunder by Vendor, his agents, representatives, employees or sub-vendors.

Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by Vendor shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by City shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of City before the City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

City’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Vendor or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Vendor payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement.

Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the City’s Risk Manager.
5 Rev. 06/25/24
Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against City, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall specifically allow Vendor or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Vendor hereby waives its own right of recovery against City and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its sub-vendors.

Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). Vendor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Vendor of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Vendor maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Vendor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.

Notice of cancellation. Vendor agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.

Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that City and its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall be additional insured under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.

Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.

Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Vendor’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.

Pass through clause. Vendor agrees to ensure that its sub-vendors, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Vendor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage 6 Rev. 06/25/24
and endorsements required of Vendor. Vendor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Vendor agrees that upon request, all Agreements with Vendors, sub-vendors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.

Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by City.

Timely notice of claims. Vendor shall give City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Vendor’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Additional insurance. Vendor shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the Work.

From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Margarita Matson, Public Safety Director
Date: July 9, 2024
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO RENEW SERVICE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT AND CARE SOLACE, INC. FOR FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2024-25

BACKGROUND
On Tuesday, November 14, 2023, the City Council approved a seven-month pilot period with Care Solace, Inc. for a mental health platform. Care Solace is a social purpose company on a mission to improve equitable access to mental health and substance use treatment. Care Solace is not a direct provider of services but instead helps people navigate through the complex maze of available services involving both public and private mental health providers.

DISCUSSION
Care Solace provides online resources including a live 24/7 concierge designed to assist individuals in finding local mental health-related programs, substance use treatment providers, and counseling services. Care Solace’s proprietary database is integrated into every medical provider and insurance plan in the State of California, including free and sliding scale services for families with no medical insurance. Care Solace helps individuals, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, or financial situation, with particular focus dedicated to the inclusion of the unhoused population in various social services.

The key benefits of Care Solace are that the platform provides real-time data on community mental health needs, including treatment categories, appointments booked, and demographics, which are critical in providing insights and developing action plans.

Care Solace would also help connect City staff and Paramount residents to the right help at the right time. The program supports equitable access to care regardless of medical coverage, including private insurance, Medicaid, and other sliding scale options for those without insurance.

The City’s efforts to promote the service have been highly successful. The message has been effectively spread through various channels, including the Care Solace Paramount platform. Staff have consistently posted social media messages, and the program has Agenda Report July 9, 2024
AMENDMENT TO RENEW AGREEMENT WITH CARE SOLACE, INC. Page 2 been prominently featured on the City’s webpage. The resource has been actively promoted and mentioned at city events, and presentations have been made with community groups and stakeholders.

Since the service’s implementation, the community’s reaction has been positive. Key performance indicators have been trending upwards, including inbound interactions, outbound communications, and resident-initiated cases. The service has proved to be an essential resource for the Paramount community and should be continued until June 30, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT
Residents would not be charged for using the service; instead, the City would pay a flat rate of $1.50 per resident annually based on the City’s overall population, which comes to a total amount of $80,250. Funding for this program was included in the FY 2024-25 budget under the World Energy/AltAir Community Benefits Agreement Fund. The amendment to renew the service agreement is included as Exhibit A.

VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No 1: Safe Community - Provide a safe place to live, work, and visit; and Strategic Outcome No 2: Community Health - Provide diverse recreational and cultural amenities that support healthy lifestyles and a sense of community.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the amendment to renew the service agreement with Care Solace, Inc., for FY 2024-25 in the amount of $80,250 and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.

AMENDMENT TO RENEW SERVICE AGREEMENT
This amendment to renew the Service Agreement (the “Amendment”) is effective as of the date of the last signature between City of Paramount, California (hereinafter “City”), and Care Solace, Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter “Care Solace”). City and Care Solace may be referred to individually as “Party,” or collectively as “Parties.”

RECITALS
WHEREAS, City and Care Solace have entered into a Service Agreement dated October 15, 2023, with a current term from December 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024 (the “Service Agreement”); and WHEREAS, the Parties agree that they wish to renew the Service Agreement for a term beginning on July 1, 2024 and continuing through June 30, 2025 (the “First Annual Term”); and WHEREAS, the Parties agree that it is their mutual intention by execution of this Amendment that the Service Agreement and any addenda or amendments thereto shall be renewed in full for the First Annual Term, subject to the revisions expressly set forth herein, and that the Service Agreement and any addenda or amendments, as modified by this Amendment, shall be binding upon the Parties.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the matters described above and of the mutual benefits and obligations set forth in the Service Agreement and any addenda or amendments thereto, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

A. Additional Service Agreement Terms
The Parties hereby agree that the below referenced additional terms shall be incorporated into the Service Agreement and shall be binding upon the Parties:

1.6 Social Services Care Coordination: Care Solace will provide the following care coordination services for referrals to community-based social services:

1.6.1 Care Solace shall facilitate a screening and referral process for social services whereby City staff provide Care Solace with contact information of a resident in need of social services such as free or reduced-cost dental care, medical services, housing, food, etc., available through community providers/organizations (hereinafter, the "Community-Based Social Services").

1.6.2 Care Solace shall also provide residents in need of social services with telephone and email access to a social services coordinator. The social services coordinators are experienced in customer service and are trained to navigate the social services system and community-based resources. The social services coordinators are not licensed mental health or social services professionals and do not diagnose, assess or evaluate. No professional, fiduciary, or other special legal relationship is formed by a social services coordinator's recommendation of social services to an Authorized User. The social services coordinators are not a crisis response team. The social services coordinators are available to work directly with residents to connect them with CommunityBased Social Services. Social services coordinators are available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

1.6.3 Care Solace connects Authorized Users with Community-Based Social Services based on criteria that may include but not be limited to geographic proximity, socio-economic status, whether the social services provider provides services on a reduced-cost or cost-free basis, and, in the case of housing/shelter, whether the social services provider provides services to persons of specific ages and/or genders. Care Solace will use reasonable efforts to confirm that each social service provider it refers to Authorized Users is an appropriate fit for each Authorized User's individual needs. The information available on social services providers through the verification process may vary significantly.

11.3 The First Annual Term, as a renewal of this Agreement, will begin on July 1, 2024, and continue through June 30, 2025.

For the First Annual Term, City will pay $80,250 to Care Solace on or around July 1, 2024.

In the event the Parties wish to renew this Agreement for a term after June 30, 2025 (a "Renewal Term"), such renewal will be agreed by the Parties prior to June 30, 2025.

12.1 Payment Terms. City agrees to pay the amounts set forth herein within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of an invoice. If Care Solace does not receive payment in full on an invoice within thirty (30) days, a finance charge on the unpaid amount of any invoice will be charged at a rate of 3.75% annually, beginning thirty (30) days after City receives the invoice. Payments by City will thereafter be applied first to accrued interest and then to the principal unpaid balance. City agrees to pay all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Care Solace in the collection of any delinquent accounts. For the purposes of this Paragraph, an invoice shall be deemed to be received upon delivery, if delivered personally or by email, or three (3) days after mailing by U.S. mail.

B. Modification of Service Agreement Terms
The Parties hereby agree that the below referenced provision shall be replaced in the Service Agreement and shall be binding upon the Parties:

SUBJECT: AGREEMENT WITH BARON & BUDD, P.C. AND COSSICH, SUMICH,

PARSIOLA & TAYLOR LLC FOR SPECIAL LEGAL SERVICES

BACKGROUND
The City of Paramount’s water supply is rigorously tested and continually meets or exceeds strict State and Federal standards to ensure that the drinking water we provide is safe. However, as with many water providers in our region, the State, and the nation, certain levels of the chemicals per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”), perfluorooctanoic acid (“PFOA”) and/or perfluoro octane sulfonic acid (“PFOS”) have been detected at one source of Paramount’s groundwater supply. This source is Water Well No. 14. (These chemicals have not been detected at the two other City water wells).

On February 20, 2020, out of an abundance of caution, the City voluntarily turned off Well 14 due to exceedances of the Notification Levels for PFOS. This action was not required by State or Federal drinking water laws; the City chose to take such action on its own.

With Water Well 14 turned off, the City water system has been purchasing water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) at a cost increase of $2 million annually.

DISCUSSION
The City learned of several pending lawsuits related to PFAS, in which 3M and Dupont among others have been named as defendants for their role in manufacturing PFAS.

These cases have all been removed to federal court and have now been consolidated into MDL (multi district litigation) Case No. 2873 before Judge Richard M. Gergel in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina. The Judge overseeing the case appointed law firms Baron & Budd, P.C. and Cossich, Sumich, Parsiola & Taylor LLC (the “Firms”) to the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee. The firms are representing hundreds of municipal water systems across the country in this MDL. Settlements between 3M and DuPont and public water providers were approved in June 2023. Most recently, BASF Corporation and Tyco Fire Products, LP, and its related entities announced separate settlements with public water providers. Public water provider cases continue to move forward against several other telomer defendants in the MDL.

Agenda Report July 9, 2024
AGREEMENT FOR SPECIAL LEGAL SERVICES Page 2
Cities can join in the lawsuit to recover any and all past and future compensatory and/or consequential damages for the investigation, remediation, removal, disposal, and monitoring of the ongoing impacts to its surface, groundwater, soil, and sediment caused and/or created by defendants’ products, as well as any and all punitive damages available as a result of the actions and/or inactions of defendants. It is believed that since the 1960s, defendants manufactured, marketed, and/or sold PFAS including but not limited to PFOA and/or PFOS and/or the precursors to PFOS and PFOA or products made with those constituents including Teflon, Scotchguard, waterproofing compounds, stain proofing compounds, paper and cloth coatings, waxes, and various other products.

The firms will provide legal services to the City of Paramount with respect to damages, compensation, and other relief to which the City may be entitled as a result of an Action to be filed by the firms on behalf of the City against the manufacturer(s) and supplier(s) of firefighting foam products (known as “aqueous film forming foam” or “AFFF”) and/or other products containing PFAS, PFOA or PFOS, and any other related compounds.

Staff recommends that the City of Paramount join in this litigation action and seek to recover the substantial costs necessary to ensure a safe and reliable drinking water supply from wells that have been impacted by PFAS including but not limited to PFOA and/or PFOS.

If the litigation participation is approved, the City Attorney and Director of Public Works will work with the firms to provide data and necessary information, allow for inspections, and respond to requests related to the City water system. The first filing deadline for the City to submit a claim in response to the settlement is July 12, 2024. Additional filing deadlines for future claims will take place later this summer. The Firms will incur any and all costs associated with litigation based a contingency agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT
None. The special legal services agreement operates under a 25% contingency basis, which means there is no cost to the City. If the City were to succeed, Baron & Budd, P.C. and Cossich, Sumich, Parsiola & Taylor LLC will recover 25% of any recovery.

VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No 6: Efficient, Effective, and Fiscally Responsible - Deliver an efficient and effective City government in a fiscally responsible, transparent and collaborative manner.

AGREEMENT FOR SPECIAL LEGAL SERVICES Page 3

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve a contingency agreement with Baron & Budd, P.C. and Cossich, Sumich, Parsiola & Taylor LLC for Special Legal Services and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.

LEGAL SERVICES AGREEMENT

1. IDENTIFICATION OF PARTIES. This Agreement is made between City of Paramount (“Client”) and the law firms of Baron & Budd, P.C. and Cossich, Sumich, Parsiola & Taylor LLC (collectively referred to as “Attorneys”).

2. RETENTION OF FIRM RATHER THAN PARTICULAR ATTORNEY. By signing this Agreement, Client retains the law firms. Attorney services will be provided to Client by the firms and will not necessarily be performed by any particular attorney.

3. AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CLIENT. Client designates ________________________________________________ as the authorized representative to direct Attorneys and to be the primary individual to communicate with Attorneys regarding the subject matter of Attorneys’ representation of Client under this Agreement. This designation is intended to establish a clear line of authority and to minimize potential uncertainty, but not to preclude communication between Attorneys and other representatives of Client.

4. SCOPE AND DUTIES. Attorneys will provide legal services to Client with respect to damages, compensation, and other relief to which Client may be entitled as a result of an Action to be filed by Attorneys on behalf of Client against the manufacturer(s) of firefighting foam products (known as “aqueous film forming foam” or “AFFF”) and/or other products containing perfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”) (including perfluorooctanoic acid (“PFOA” or “C8”), perfluorooctane sulfonate (“PFOS”), and any other related compounds). Client hires Attorneys to provide legal services in connection with pursuing claims against all those responsible for damages Client suffered or will suffer. Attorneys shall provide those legal services reasonably required to represent Client, and shall take reasonable steps to keep Client informed of progress and to respond to Client’s inquiries. Client shall be truthful with Attorneys, cooperate with Attorneys, and keep Attorneys informed of any and all factual developments.

5. LEGAL SERVICES SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Client and Attorneys, Attorneys will not provide legal services with respect to (a) defending any legal proceeding or claim against the Client commenced by any person unless such proceeding or claim is filed against the Client in the Action or (b) proceedings before any federal or state administrative or governmental agency, department, or board including, but not limited to, the United States Environmental Protection Agency. With Client’s permission, however, Attorneys may elect to appear at such administrative proceedings to protect Client’s rights. If Client wishes to retain Attorneys to provide any legal services not provided under this Agreement for additional compensation, a separate written agreement between Attorneys and Client will be required.

6. JOINT RESPONSIBILITY. Baron & Budd, P.C. and Cossich, Sumich, Parsiola & Taylor LLC, assume joint legal responsibility to Client for the representation described in this Agreement, and agree to be available for consultation with the client. Client approves of and consents to the participation of the firms in their representation.

7. ATTORNEYS’ FEES. Client and Attorneys have agreed that Client will pay Attorneys a contingent fee for representing Client in this matter. The fee is not set by law but is negotiable between Attorneys and Client. Attorneys and Client agree that the contingent fee will be calculated as described below.

A. Calculation of Contingent Fee
Attorneys will receive a contingency fee of twenty-five percent (25%) of any gross recovery (as defined below).

The contingent fee is to be calculated based on Client’s gross recovery before deduction of costs and expenses (as defined below).

The contingent fee is calculated by multiplying the gross recovery by the fee percentage.

B. Definitions
“Costs” and “Expenses” include, but are not limited to, the following: process servers’ fees, court reporters’ fees, document management costs, messenger and other delivery fees, parking, investigation expenses, consultants’ fees, expert witness fees, expert fees, fees fixed by law or assessed by courts or other agencies, and other similar items, incurred by Attorneys in the course of representing Client. “Document Management Costs” are the costs associated with collecting, copying, and storing documents relevant to the Action as discussed in paragraph 8, below. These costs include processing and hosting charges, hardware, software, and any other resources necessary to manage documents.
“Gross recovery” means the total recovery, whether obtained by settlement, arbitration award, court judgment following trial or appeal, or otherwise. “Gross recovery” shall include, without limitation, the following: (1) the then-present value of any monetary payments to be made to Client; and (2) the fair market value of any non-monetary property and services to be transferred and/or rendered for the benefit of Client; and (3) any attorney’s fees recovered by Client as part of any cause of action that provides a basis for such an award. “Gross recovery” may come from any source, including, but not limited to, the adverse parties to the Action and/or their insurance carriers and/or any third party, whether or not a party to the Action.

If Client and Attorneys disagree as to the fair market value of any non-monetary property or services as described above, Attorneys and Client agree that a binding appraisal will be conducted to determine this value. However, regardless of the results of the binding appraisal, the fee associated with non-monetary property or services transferred or rendered for the benefit of the Client shall not, in any case, exceed the amount of the monetary

payments made to the Client as part of the governing settlement or judgment. It is possible that payment to the Client by the adverse parties to the Action or their insurance carrier(s) or any third-party may be deferred, as in the case of an annuity, a structured settlement, or periodic payments. In such event, gross recovery will consist of the initial lump sum payment plus the present value (as of the time of the settlement) of the total of all payments to be received thereafter. The contingent fee is calculated as described above. The Attorneys’ fees will be paid out of the initial lump-sum payment if there are sufficient funds to satisfy the Attorneys’ fee. If there are insufficient funds to pay the Attorneys’ fees in full from the initial lump sum payment, the balance owed to Attorneys will be paid from subsequent payments to Client before there is any distribution to Client.

C. Reasonable Fee if Contingent Fee is Unenforceable or if Attorney is Discharged Before Any Recovery.

In the event that the contingent fee portion of this agreement is determined to be unenforceable for any reason or the Attorneys are prevented from representing Client on a contingent fee basis, Client agrees to pay a reasonable fee for the services rendered. If the parties are unable to agree on a reasonable fee for the services rendered, Attorneys and Client agree that the fee will be determined by arbitration proceedings before a neutral affiliated with the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS); in any event, Attorneys and Client agree that the fee determined by arbitration shall not exceed twentyfive percent (25%) of the gross recovery as defined in this Agreement. If there is no recovery by Client, no fee will be due to Attorneys.

D. Order or Agreement for Payment of Attorneys’ Fees or Costs by Another Party.

If a court orders, or the parties to the dispute agree, that another party shall pay some or all of Client’s attorneys’ fees, costs, or both, Attorneys shall be entitled to the greater of (i) the amount of any attorney’s fees awarded by the court or included in the settlement or (ii) the percentage or other formula applied to the recovery amount not including such attorney’s fees.

8. COSTS AND EXPENSES.

A. General
In addition to paying legal fees, Client authorizes Attorneys to incur all reasonable costs and expenses and to hire any investigators, consultants, or expert witnesses. Attorneys will advance all costs and expenses. Attorneys will deduct those costs and expenses out of Client’s recovery after attorney’s fees have been deducted. If there is no recovery, Client will not be required to reimburse Attorneys for costs and fees. In the event a recovery is less than incurred costs and expenses, Client will not be required to reimburse Attorneys for costs/expenses, above and beyond the recovery, and fees.

B. Document Management Costs
Attorneys have explored two means of managing litigation documents:

(1) Outsource to outside vendor. Attorneys contract with outside vendors to collect, copy, and store documents. Attorneys advance these costs, and Client reimburses Attorneys out of any recovery.
(2) Internal processing. Attorneys can create an internal document management system by obtaining computer software, hardware, and related resources necessary to collect, copy, store, organize, and produce documents and data. This option obviates the need to outsource this work to an outside vendor.

Attorneys represent that the second option above, internal processing, is the better choice for promoting efficiency, saving Client costs, and limiting legal expenses.

Client agrees that Attorneys may purchase the resources necessary to provide an internal document management system for Client. Attorneys may, however, use outside vendors where costs or circumstances warrant.

9. SHARED EXPENSES. Client understands that Attorneys may incur certain expenses that jointly benefit multiple clients, including, for example, expenses for travel, experts, and copying.

Client agrees that Attorneys may, in their discretion, divide such expenses equally or pro rata among such clients, and deduct Client’s portion of those expenses from Client’s share of any recovery.

Prior client approval is not required for shared expenses. Nevertheless, Client shall only be responsible for prudent, fair and reasonable expenses.

10. DIVISION OF ATTORNEYS’ FEES. At the conclusion of the case, if a recovery is made on behalf of Client, Client understands and agrees that the total Attorneys’ fee will be divided as follows:

Baron & Budd, P.C. will receive fifty percent (50%) and Cossich, Sumich, Parsiola & Taylor LLC will receive fifty percent (50%).

11. MULTIPLE REPRESENTATIONS. Client understands that Attorneys do or may represent many other individuals with actual or potential PFAS related litigation claims. Attorneys’ representation of multiple claimants at the same time may create certain actual or potential conflicts of interest in that the interests and objectives of each client individually on certain issues are, or may become, inconsistent with the interests and objectives of the other. Attorneys are governed by specific rules and regulations relating to professional responsibility in representation of clients, and especially where conflicts of interest may arise from representation of multiple clients against the same or similar defendants, Attorneys must advise clients of any actual or potential conflicts of interest and obtain their informed written consent to our representation when actual, present, or potential conflicts of interest exist. Client has conferred with its own separate corporate or municipal counsel, and has determined that it is in its own best interests to waive any and all potential or actual conflicts of which Client is currently aware as the result of Attorneys’ current and continuing representation of other entities in similar litigation. By signing this agreement,

Client states that (1) it has been advised of the potential conflicts of interest which may be or are associated with our representation of Client and other multiple claimants; (2) it nevertheless wants Attorneys to represent Client; and (3) Client consents to Attorneys’ representation of others in connection with PFAS litigation (AFFF or otherwise). Client remains completely free to seek other legal advice at any time even after signing this agreement.

12. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Client gives Attorneys a power of attorney to execute all reasonable and necessary documents connected with the handling of the litigation associated with this cause of action. Prior to signing any documents relative to settlement agreements, compromises and releases, Attorneys will confer with and advise Client of the contents and ramifications of such documents. Under no circumstances will Client’s claims be settled without obtaining Client’s advance consent.

13. SETTLEMENT. Attorneys will not settle Client’s claim without the advance approval of Client, who will have the absolute right to accept or reject any settlement. Attorneys will notify Client promptly of the terms of any settlement offer received by Attorneys.

14. AGGREGATE SETTLEMENTS. Often times in cases where Attorneys represent multiple clients in similar litigation, the opposing parties or defendants attempt to settle or otherwise resolve all of Attorneys’ cases in a group or groups, by making a single settlement offer to settle a number of cases simultaneously. There exists a potential conflict of interest whenever a lawyer represents multiple clients in a settlement of this type because it necessitates choices concerning the allocation of limited settlement amounts among the multiple clients. However, if all clients consent, a group settlement can be accomplished and a single offer can be fairly distributed among the clients by assigning settlement amounts based upon the strengths and weaknesses of each case, the relative nature, severity and extent of injuries, and individual case evaluations. In the event of a group or aggregate settlement proposal, Attorneys may implement a settlement program, overseen by a referee or special master, who may be appointed by a court, designed to ensure consistency and fairness for all claimants, and which will assign various settlement values and amounts to each client’s case depending upon the facts and circumstances of each individual case. Client authorizes Attorneys to enter into and engage in group settlement discussions and agreements that may include Client’s individual claims. Although Client authorizes Attorneys to engage in such group settlement discussions and agreements, Client retains the right to approve any settlement of Client’s claims, and Attorneys are required to obtain Client’s approval before settling Client’s claims.

15. ATTORNEYS’ LIEN. Attorneys will have a lien for attorneys’ fees and costs advanced on all claims and causes of action that are the subject of the representation of Client under this Agreement and on all proceeds of any recovery obtained (whether by settlement, arbitration award, or court judgment). If no recovery is obtained for Client, or if a lien is obtained that exceeds the recovery by the Client, any lien in excess of the recovery for Client shall be released by Attorneys.

16. DISCHARGE OF ATTORNEYS. Client may discharge Attorneys at any time by written notice effective when received by Attorneys. Unless specifically agreed by Attorneys and Client, Attorneys will provide no further services and advance no further costs on Client’s behalf after receipt of the notice. If Attorneys appear as Client’s attorneys of record in any proceeding, Client

will execute and return a substitution-of-attorney form immediately on its receipt from Attorneys.

In the event that Attorneys are discharged, for whatever reason, Attorneys and Client agree that Attorneys will have a lien for attorneys’ fees and costs advanced on all claims and causes of action that are the subject of the representation of Client under this Agreement and on all proceeds of any recovery obtained (whether by settlement or court judgment). If no recovery is obtained for Client or if a lien is obtained that exceeds the recovery by the Client then any lien in excess of the recovery for Client shall be released by Attorneys.

17. WITHDRAWAL OF ATTORNEYS. Client and Attorneys agree that if, after investigation of the facts and research of the law, Attorneys believe that Client’s claims are of limited merit, Attorneys may terminate this agreement with Client prior to and without filing suit. Termination releases Attorneys from any further action on Client’s claim and discharges Attorneys from this Agreement. Termination will be effected via delivery service with signature receipt to the last address provided by Client to Attorneys. After filing suit, Attorneys may withdraw with Client’s consent as permitted under the governing Rules of Professional Conduct. The circumstances under which the Rules permit such withdrawal include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) the representation will result in violation of the rules of professional conduct or other law; (b) if withdrawal can be accomplished without material adverse effect on the interests of Client; (c) if Client persists in a course of action involving Attorneys’ services that Attorneys reasonably believe is criminal or fraudulent or if Client has used Attorneys’ services to perpetrate a crime or fraud; (d) if Client insists upon pursuing an objective that Attorneys consider repugnant or imprudent; (e) if Client fails substantially to fulfil an obligation to Attorneys regarding Attorneys’ services and has given reasonable warning that Attorneys will withdraw unless the obligation is fulfilled; (f) the representation will result in an unreasonable financial burden on Attorneys; or (g) if other good cause for withdrawal exists. Upon termination of representation, Attorneys shall take steps to the extent reasonably practicable to protect Client’s interests, will give reasonable notice to Client, will allow time for employment of other counsel, will surrender papers and property to which Client is entitled, and will refund any advance payment of fee that has not been earned. Notwithstanding Attorneys’ withdrawal, Attorneys and Client agree that in all such cases described herein above, Attorneys will have a lien for attorneys’ fees and costs advanced on all claims and causes of action that are the subject of the representation of Client under this Agreement and on all proceeds of any recovery obtained (whether by settlement or court judgment). If no recovery is obtained for Client or if a lien is obtained that exceeds the recovery by the Client any lien in excess of the recovery for Client shall be released by Attorneys.

18. RELEASE OF CLIENT’S PAPERS AND PROPERTY. At the termination of services under this Agreement, Attorneys will release promptly to Client on request all of Client’s papers and property. “Client’s paper and property” includes correspondence, deposition transcripts, exhibits, experts’ reports, legal documents, physical evidence, and other items reasonably necessary to Client’s representation, whether Client has paid for them or not.

19. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. The relationship to Client of Attorneys, and any associate counsel or paralegal provided through Attorneys, in the performance of services under this Agreement is that of Client to independent contractor and not that of Client to employee. No other wording in this Agreement shall stand in derogation of this subparagraph. The fees and costs

paid to Attorneys for legal services rendered pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed revenues of their law office practices and not as remuneration for individual employment apart from the business of that law office.

20. NOTICES. Client agrees to receive communications and documents from Attorneys via email. Attorneys agree to receive communications and documents from Client via email. In the event that Client needs to send hardcopy documents or other physical materials, Client agrees to send those to Attorneys at the following addresses:

Baron & Budd, P.C.
3102 Oak Lawn Ave., Suite 1100
Dallas, Texas 75219
Cossich, Sumich, Parsiola & Taylor LLC
8397 Highway 23, Suite 100
Belle Chasse, Louisiana 70037

21. DISCLAIMER OF GUARANTEE. Although Attorneys may offer an opinion about possible results regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, Attorneys cannot guarantee any particular result. Client acknowledges that Attorneys have made no promises about the outcome and that any opinion offered by Attorneys in the future will not constitute a promise, guarantee, or warranty.

22. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties. No other agreement, statement, or promise made on or before the effective date of this Agreement will be binding on the parties.

23. SEVERABILITY IN EVENT OF PARTIAL INVALIDITY. If any provision of this Agreement is held in whole or in part to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of that provision and of the entire Agreement will be severable and remain in effect.

24. MODIFICATION BY SUBSEQUENT AGREEMENT. The parties may agree to modify this Agreement by executing a new written agreement.

25. DISPUTES ARISING UNDER AGREEMENT. Client and Attorneys agree that any controversy, claim, or dispute (including issues relating to the fee) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, its performance, and/or its breach may be resolved by arbitration proceedings before a neutral associated with the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS). Disagreement as to the fair market value of any non-monetary property or services, however, will be resolved in accordance with paragraph 7.C. Venue for any arbitration or court action shall be Los Angeles County. This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, including those as they pertain to legal counsel.

26. ATTORNEY’S FEES AND COSTS IN ACTION ON AGREEMENT. The prevailing

party in any action or proceeding to enforce any provision of this Agreement will be awarded reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred in that action or proceeding or in efforts to negotiate the matter.

27. EFFECTIVE DATE OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement is effective when the Client signs the Agreement. This Agreement applies to any services provided by Attorneys before its effective date.

In an effort to continue operating in a consistent and seamless manner, the City is desirous of retaining the law firm of Cole Huber LLP for interim City Attorney services.

Betsy Martyn is currently serving as the Assistant City Attorney through the law offices of Cole Huber LLP. She is familiar with City staff, projects, current services and support provided through the City Attorney. Ms. Martyn has also been providing legal counsel to the City on existing litigation.

Staff recommends City Council approve the retainer agreement with Cole Huber LLP for interim City Attorney services provided by Betsy Martyn, for an initial 3-month term from August 1, 2024 to October 31, 2024. Thereafter, the contract term may be extended on a month-to-month basis as necessary.

Upon City Council approval, staff will proceed with executing the contract with Cole Huber LLP. This interim arrangement will ensure that the City’s legal affairs remain in capable hands, providing the necessary support and guidance to City officials and staff.

During this timeframe, City staff will work on a recruitment process to seek proposals for permanent City Attorney services. Staff anticipates this process will be finalized by end of the year.

As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement for work to be performed hereunder, and without limiting the indemnity provisions of the Agreement, the CONSULTANT, in partial performance of its obligations under such Agreement, shall procure and maintain in full force and effect during the term of the Agreement the following policies of insurance. If the existing policies do not meet the insurance requirements set forth herein, CONSULTANT agrees to amend, supplement or endorse the policies to do so.
(A) Commercial General Liability: Commercial General Liability Insurance which affords coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office "occurrence" form CG 0001, or the exact equivalent, with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and no less than $2,000,000 in the general aggregate. Defense costs shall be paid in addition to the limits. The policy shall contain no endorsements or provisions (1) limiting coverage for contractual liability; (2) excluding coverage for claims or suits by one insured against another (cross-liability); or (3) containing any other exclusion(s) contrary to the terms or purposes of this Agreement.
(B) Workers' Compensation: Workers' Compensation Insurance, as required by the State of California and Employer's Liability Insurance with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and disease. (C) Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions): Professional Liability insurance or Errors & Omissions insurance appropriate to CONSULTANT’s profession with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per claim. Covered professional services shall specifically include all work to be performed under the Agreement and delete any exclusions that may potentially affect the work to be performed (for example, any exclusions relating to lead, asbestos, pollution, testing, underground storage tanks, laboratory analysis, soil work, etc.). If coverage is written on a claims-made basis, the retroactive date shall precede the effective date of the initial Agreement and continuous coverage will be maintained or an extended reporting period will be exercised for a period of at least three (3) years from termination or expiration of this Agreement. (D) Additional Insured: The CITY will be named as an additional insured for all liability arising out of the operations by or on behalf of the named insured, and 15 this policy protects the additional insured, its officers, agents and employees against liability for personal and bodily injuries, deaths or property damage or destruction arising in any respect, directly or indirectly, in the performance of the contract.
(i) Each such policy shall be endorsed with the following language:

The CITY of Paramount, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees and volunteers are included as insureds with regard to damages and defense of claims arising from: (a) activities performed by or on behalf of the Named Insured, including the insured's general supervision of the Named Insured, (b) products and completed operations of the Named Insured, or (c) premises owned, leased or used by the Named Insured.
(ii) This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers. Any insurance maintained by the CITY, including any self-insured retention the CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with it.
(iii) The inclusion of more than one insured shall not operate to impair the rights of one insured against another insured, and the coverages afforded shall apply as though separate policies had been issued to each insured. (iv) The Additional Insured coverage under the CONSULTANT’s policy shall be primary and non-contributory and will not seek contribution from the CITY’s insurance or self-insurance and shall be at least as broad as CG 20 01 04 13.
(F) Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions: All self-insured retentions (SIR) must be disclosed to the CITY’s Risk Management for approval and shall not reduce the limits of liability. At the option of CITY, either: the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insurance retention as respects the CITY, its officers, officials, agents, employees and volunteers; or CONSULTANT shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration and defense expenses.

Policies containing any self-insured (SIR) provision shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the SIR may be satisfied by either the named insured or the CITY. The CITY reserves the right to obtain a full certified copy of any insurance policy and endorsements.

Failure to exercise this right shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise later.

3. Waiver of Subrogation. All policies of Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability insurance shall specifically allow CONSULTANT or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. CONSULTANT hereby waives its own right of recovery against the City, its officials, officers, employees, and agents. 16 4. Evidence of Insurance. The CONSULTANT, concurrently with the execution of the Agreement, and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness thereof, shall deliver either certified copies of the required policies, or original certificates on forms approved by the City, together with all endorsements affecting each policy. Required insurance policies shall not be in compliance if they include any limiting provision or endorsement that has not been submitted to the CITY for approval. The certificates and endorsements for each insurance policy shall be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. At least fifteen (15 days) prior to the expiration of any such policy, evidence of insurance showing that such insurance coverage has been renewed or extended shall be filed with the City. If such coverage is cancelled or reduced and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, CONSULTANT shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of such cancellation or reduction of coverage, file with the CITY evidence of insurance showing that the required insurance has been reinstated or has been provided through another insurance company or companies.

5. Failure to Maintain Coverage. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, CITY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by CONSULTANT or CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from CONSULTANT payments. In the alternative, CITY may cancel this Agreement effective upon notice.

6. Acceptability of Insurers. Each such policy shall be from a company or companies with a current A.M. Best's rating of no less than A- VII and authorized to transact business of insurance in the State of California, or otherwise allowed to place insurance through surplus line brokers under applicable provisions of the California Insurance Code or any federal law.

7. Enforcement of Agreement Provisions (non-estoppel).

CONSULTANT acknowledges and agrees that actual or alleged failure on the part of the CITY to inform CONSULTANT of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligation on the CITY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

8. Requirements Not Limiting. Requirement of specific coverage or minimum limits contained in this Agreement are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits, or other requirement, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. 17 WORKER’S COMPENSATION INSURANCE CERTIFICATION

Address
To: Honorable City Council
From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Kim Sao, Finance Director
Date: July 9, 2024
SUBJECT: ADOPTING THE FUND BALANCE POLICY

BACKGROUND
On May 9, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution 23:017, establishing the City’s Fund Balance Policy (“Policy”). The Policy was established to improve the City’s financial health and management of its funds. The Policy had the following General Fund reserve levels, Committed by the City Council.

Reserves Committed by City Council Authority
Operating Reserve
• Purpose: While other resources are set aside to mitigate revenue shortfalls for various emergencies and unforeseen circumstances, this Operating Reserve is established as a last resort contingency. To emphasize, the Operating Reserve is the base budget to be used as a final course of action, when all else fails.
• Target Level: The General Fund shall maintain a base (minimum) operating fund reserve for an effective and non-disruptive operation of city services. The City will set aside 50% of the annual General Fund Adopted Operating Expenditure Budget. If the Operating Reserve is anticipated to be less than this policy, then it shall be noted in the City’s Budget document and a plan will be developed by Finance staff to address the target level. • Events or Conditions Prompting Its Use: This reserve shall be used when all other reserves in the committed, assigned, and/or unassigned categories are insufficient to balance the annual operating budget to meet core services.

Economic Uncertainty Reserve
• Purpose: This committed reserve is held to mitigate annual revenue shortfalls due to a fluctuating economy, unforeseen natural disaster, or actions by the state/federal government. This reserve shall be used to support core city services.

Agenda Report July 9, 2024
RESOLUTION NO. 24:027 Page 2
• Target Level: 10% of the General Fund Adopted Operating Expenditure Budget • Events or Conditions Prompting Its Use: Access to this reserve shall be triggered by a resolution declaring a state of emergency for the City or when there is a significant decrease of more than 10% in the General Fund revenues.

Infrastructure and Facility Emergencies
• Purpose: This committed reserve is set aside for a catastrophic emergency that requires the repair or rebuilding of the City’s streets, hard-scape, facilities, communication and technology systems, or other City-owned properties. • Target Level: 10% of the General Fund Adopted Operating Expenditure Budget • Events or Conditions Prompting Its Use: This reserve may be utilized to provide resources to meet emergency expenditures in the case of flood, fire, earthquake, or other disasters.

DISCUSSION
The General Fund operating budget has increased significantly in FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25, and maintaining the 70% reserve level with the larger operating budget is preventing the use of funds on desired operating programs and significant capital improvement projects. Staff recommends combining the 10% Infrastructure and Facilities Emergencies and the 10% Economic Uncertainty into one reserve category called the Emergency and Economic Uncertainty Reserve and strive to maintain a 10% reserve level.

The table below reflects the change from the current reserve target to the proposed reserve target.

GENERAL FUND Current Target Proposed Target
Committed (By City Council)
Operating Reserve 50% of Operating Budget 50% of Audited Operating Expenditures Infrastructure and Facility
Emergencies
10% of Operating Budget -
Economic Uncertainty 10% of Operating Budget -
Emergency and Economic
Uncertainty Reserve
10% of Audited Operating Expenditures
Total Committed 70% of Operating Budget 60% of Audited Operating Expenditures Staff also recommends calculating the reserve level based on the most recent audited operating expenditures, rather than the current or proposed operating budget, and excluding significant one-time costs from the calculation for the following reasons:

First, budgeted expenditures are typically greater than actual expenditures. While a reserve based on the budgeted operating expenditures cannot reflect the true operating Agenda Report July 9, 2024
RESOLUTION NO. 24:027 Page 3
costs, a reserve level based on audited operating expenditures is a more accurate representation of actual operating needs. Calculation of the committed balance will be done as part of the fiscal year closing and calculated based on the actual expenditures of the year being audited.

Secondly, calculation of the committed reserve should be based on operating expenditures that exclude significant one-time cost of programs or services that do not reflect the ongoing and normal operation of the City.

SUMMARY
The Fund Balance Policy establishes fund balance classifications that create a hierarchy based on the City’s spending constraint. We believe that the updated Policy will continue to reduce financial risk and improve financial reporting, while providing flexibility for spending needs and management of the reserves to mitigate future uncertainties. The City’s Fund Balance Policy establishes the amount the City will strive to maintain in its fund reserve, the conditions under which the reserve may be spent, and directions to replenish reserves once used. Due to past experiences in recovering from extreme events such as the recession of 2008 and the COVID-19 pandemic, the City finds it prudent to maintain a higher reserve of up to 60% of its General Fund operating expenditures than the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA)’s recommended minimum of 17% (two-months) reserve.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No 6: Efficient, Effective, and Fiscally Responsible - Deliver an efficient and effective City government in a fiscally responsible, transparent and collaborative manner.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Read by title only and adopt Resolution No. 24:027.

CITY OF PARAMOUNT, CA

FUND BALANCE POLICY
EFFECTIVE FY 2023-24
It is essential that the City of Paramount (“City”) maintain adequate levels of fund balance to effectively manage and operate city services and mitigate current and future risks (e.g., revenue shortfalls and unanticipated expenditures). In most cases, discussions of fund balance will properly focus on the General Fund. Nonetheless, financial resources available in other funds should also be considered in assessing the adequacy of fund balance in the General Fund.

The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends that cities:
“...establish a formal policy on the level of unrestricted fund balance that should be maintained in the general fund for Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and budgetary purposes. Such a guideline should be set by the appropriate policy body and articulate a framework and process for how the government would increase or decrease the level of unrestricted fund balance over a specific time period. In particular, governments should provide broad guidance in the policy for how resources will be directed to replenish fund balance should the balance fall below the level prescribed”.

Fund balance refers to the difference between assets and liabilities in the City’s governmental funds balance sheet. This information is one of the most widely used elements of state and local government financial statements. Financial statement users examine fund balance information to identify the available liquid resources that can be used to repay long-term debt, add new programs, finance capital improvements, or enhance the financial position of the city.

Fund balance is reported in accordance with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54, which classifies fund balance into five different categories. These categories are Nonspendable, Restricted, Committed, Assigned and Unassigned.
• Nonspendable resources are not in spendable form or required to be maintained intact, such as prepaid, land held for resale, or inventory. • Restricted resources are subject to externally enforceable legal restrictions or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. • Committed resources are constrained to specific purposes by a formal action of the City Council, the highest level of decision-making authority for the City, such as a resolution. The constraint remains binding unless removed in the same formal manner by the City Council. Council action to commit fund balance must occur within the fiscal reporting period while the amount committed may be determined subsequently.
• Assigned resources are constrained, by the City’s intent, to be used for specific purposes but are neither restricted nor committed. The City Manager has the authority to assign unrestricted fund balance amounts where the City’s intent is for those amounts to be used for specific purposes. This delegation of authority is for the sole purpose of reporting these amounts in the annual financial statements. • Unassigned within the General Fund are the residual resources, either positive or negative, in excess of what can be properly classified in one of the other four fund balance categories. This also includes the negative residual resources in excess of what can be properly classified as nonspendable, restricted, or committed within all other governmental funds.

This Governmental Fund Balance Policy establishes the amount the City will strive to maintain in its fund reserve, the conditions under which the reserve may be spent, and directions to replenish reserves once used.

RESERVES HELD IN THE GENERAL FUND
The City of Paramount shall maintain the following designations under the appropriate fund balance categories:

Reserves Committed by City Council Authority
Operating Reserve
• Purpose: While other resources are set aside to mitigate revenue shortfalls for various emergencies and unforeseen circumstances, this Operating Reserve is established as a last resort contingency. To emphasize, the Operating Reserve is the base budget to be used as a final course of action, when all else fails.
• Target Level: The General Fund shall maintain a base (minimum) operating fund reserve for an effective and non-disruptive operation of city services. The City will set aside 50% of the annual General Fund Adopted Operating Expenditure Budget. If the Operating Reserve is anticipated to be less than this policy, then it shall be noted in the City’s Budget document and a plan will be developed by Finance staff to address the target level. • Events or Conditions Prompting Its Use: This reserve shall be used when all other reserves in the committed, assigned, and/or unassigned categories are insufficient to balance the annual operating budget to meet core services.

Access to this reserve may be triggered by an action of the City Council or when a resolution declaring a state of emergency for the City is in effect.

Emergency and Economic Uncertainty Reserve
• Purpose: This committed reserve is set aside for a catastrophic emergency that requires the repair or rebuilding of the City’s streets, hard-scape, facilities, communication and technology systems, or other City-owned properties. This reserve is also held to mitigate annual revenue shortfalls due to a fluctuating economy, unforeseen natural disaster, or actions by the state/federal government. This reserve shall be used to support core city services. • Target Level: 10% of the audited actual General Fund Adopted Operating Expenditure Budget. In the event the Emergency and Economic Uncertainty Reserve is used, the City should seek to replenish the reserve up to 10% within 36 months of use.
• Events or Conditions Prompting Its Use: This reserve may be utilized to provide resources to meet emergency expenditures in the case of flood, fire, earthquake, or other disasters or when there is a significant decrease in the General Fund revenues that requires additional funds to stabilize the budget..

Access to this reserve shall be triggered by an resolution declaring a state of emergencyaction of for the City or when there is a significant decrease of more than 10% in the General Fund revenues.when a resolution declaring a state of emergency for the City is in effect.

Infrastructure and Facility Emergencies
• Purpose: This committed reserve is set aside for a catastrophic emergency that requires the repair or rebuilding of the City’s streets, hard-scape, facilities, communication and technology systems, or other City-owned properties. • Target Level: 10% of the General Fund Adopted Operating Expenditure Budget • Events or Conditions Prompting Its Use: This reserve may be utilized to provide resources to meet emergency expenditures in the case of flood, fire, earthquake, or other disasters.

Reserves Assigned by City Manager/Management
Compensated Absences – (Calculated Liability)
• Annually, the value of compensated absences, which is the liability derived from employee accrued sick, vacation, and other compensated leave balances, is computed. This reserve will be adjusted annually during the audit to equal the compensated absences of the current year in audit.

Retiree Benefit Obligations – (70% of Pension and OPEB Long-Term Liabilities) • Purpose: This reserve is set aside to pay down the long-term pension and other post employee benefits (OPEB) liabilities to at least 70% of the total obligations. • Target Level: Annually, the City shall contribute 1% of the General Fund Adopted Operating Expenditure Budget necessary to meet the funding target of at least 70% of the UAL and Total OPEB Liability for all retiree benefit obligations.

Self-Insurance – ($800,000)
• The City is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA). Together with CJPIA insurance policies, a reserve of $800,000 shall be maintained to provide adequate protection against losses that exceed, or excluded from, the existing insurance coverage. A periodic analysis is required to adjust the reserve to an appropriate level to ensure adequate funds are available.

Capital Projects – (Future Capital Project Costs)
• The City Manager has established this assigned reserve, or fund, for capital projects and should continue to replenish, as needed, to meet the funding needs of future capital improvement projects.

Continuing Appropriation (Multi-year Project Carryover) • This amount represents the unexpended portion of the cost of public improvements that were adopted in the previous year budget. A continuing appropriation does not expire at the conclusion of a fiscal year, but continues until the public improvement is completed.
• For management and accounting purposes, this amount is determined and adjusted near or at the closing of the fiscal year, where the unexpended amount for capital improvement projects shall be set aside to continue funding the projects in the following year until the project is completed.

Other Assignments
• From time to time, the City Manager may determine an amount to be set aside to fulfill certain special projects or programs at his discretion.

RESERVES HELD IN OTHER FUNDS
Water Fund Operating Reserve
• Purpose: The operating reserves are maintained to mitigate revenue shortfalls due to economic downturns or financial hardship for various reasons. • Target Level: The Water Fund should strive to maintain a budgetary base (minimum) operating fund reserve of no less than two months (17%) of the Water Fund Adopted Operating Expenditure Budget for an effective and nondisruptive operation of the city’s water utility program. Whenever possible, the City should strive to increase its base reserve to more than 17%. If the Operating Reserve is anticipated to be less than this policy, then it shall be noted in the City’s Budget document and a plan will be developed by Finance staff to address the target level.

Water Fund Rate Stabilization
• Purpose: The Water Fund shall reserve $500,000 for use when the average water rate increase exceeds 10% within a single year. The rate stabilization reserve will be used to limit the average rate increase to 10% for that year. The rate stabilization reserve will soften spikes in rate increases and help water customers prepare for the eventual rate increases.

Equipment Replacement Fund
• Purpose: The city shall strive to establish a reserve of at least 50% of the replacement value of City vehicles and equipment, and maintain the reserve through the annual budget adoption process.

EXCEEDING RESERVE POLICY
In most cases, the fund balance polices are set at levels which maximize the use of public resources. The committed and assigned fund balances shall not be more than twice their respective reserve policies. Reserve levels should not exceed policy guidelines for compensated absences, retiree benefit obligations and continuing appropriations.

To: Honorable City Council
From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Grissel Chavez, Assistant City Manager
Date: July 9, 2024
SUBJECT: FIRST AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH TRIPEPI SMITH FOR

ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTING SERVICES

BACKGROUND
Since 2016, Tripepi Smith and Associates, Inc. (Tripepi Smith) of Irvine, CA has provided strategic communications, graphic design, and public affairs consulting services for the City. The City initially contracted with Tripepi Smith to assist staff with strengthening its communications strategies and processes to effectively engage with residents and businesses. As the City’s communications needs have evolved, Tripepi Smith’s scope of services have expanded to effectively serve as the City’s expert consultant on several key communication campaigns and initiatives including the Climate Action Plan, Organics recycling mandates, and Explore Paramount small business promotions.

On August 8, 2023, the City Council approved a new three-year agreement with Tripepi Smith for communications consulting services in an annual amount of $140,316 plus CPI increases. Under the existing contract, Tripepi Smtih provides daily social media monitoring, City Council meeting broadcasting and video production services, development and regular maintenance of the City’s environmental website, creation of public service announcements and materials for new Organics Recycling mandates and drought restrictions, cable channel management and content creation, metrics reporting, and other digital and communication services as needed.

DISCUSSION
There is a need for Tripepi Smith to provide increased support in the current fiscal year for the following tasks:

1. Preparation of the City’s Budget at a Glance document – The Tripepi Smith team will meet with staff to gather budget data and information. TS will provide the final design of the document by the end of July 2024. The additional budget appropriation required for this task is $7,000.

Agenda Report July 9, 2024
FIRST AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH TRIPEPI SMITH Page 2
Business License Tax- Education and Outreach – The Tripepi Smith team will develop an education and outreach strategy to educate the community about the City’s existing business license tax structure and a possible ballot measure. This work will include weekly check in calls; development of informational mailers and digital advertisements; developing website and writing content; and development of social media posts and press releases. These activities will be conducted from July 2024 to November 2024. The additional budget appropriation required for this task is $35,000.

Task 2 above will trigger only if the City Council approves the placement of a measure on the November 2024 ballot. Should the City Council decide not to proceed with said ballot measure, the additional appropriation would amount to $7,000 only.

In addition to these supplemental services, staff proposes to include language in this agreement amendment to allow the City Manager to authorize extra work in the amount of $25,000 or 10% of the annual contract cost, whichever is lesser. When an unforeseen change order is approved, staff will seek the additional budget appropriation during the mid-year budget amendment process. Having a built-in contingency authorization provides the flexibility to address unforeseen issues or emergent tasks that fall outside the initial scope of work, without the need for time-consuming approval processes. This addition enhances the City's ability to meet its goals and respond to dynamic need and maintain budgetary control.

FISCAL IMPACT
An appropriation of $148,000 for communications services was included in the FY 25 Adopted Budget. Approval of this amendment would require a budget adjustment to appropriate an additional $42,000 from the FY 2024-25 General Fund budget surplus in the Administrative Services Department.

VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No 6: Efficient, Effective, and Fiscally Responsible - Deliver an efficient and effective City government in a fiscally responsible, transparent and collaborative manner.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1.) Appropriate an additional $42,000 from the FY 2024-25 General Fund Budget surplus; and 2.) Approve the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Tripepi Smith for additional communications consulting services in the amount of $42,000.

Each such change order shall be attached to this Agreement as an addition to Exhibit “A.” B) Full Force and Effect. Except as herein modified, all other provisions of the AGREEMENT dated August 17, 2023, and amended on July 9, 2024 shall remain unmodified and continue in full force and effect.
(C) Counterparts. This AMENDMENT may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute but one instrument. A facsimile signature shall be deemed an original signature.

To: Honorable City Council
From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Adriana Figueroa, Public Works Director
Date: July 9, 2024
SUBJECT: TAX ASSESSMENT OF CHARGES FOR DELINQUENT REFUSE COLLECTION FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2023

BACKGROUND
The City of Paramount has an exclusive franchise with Athens Services, Inc. (Athens) for refuse collection. Athens bills residential customers quarterly, in advance, for charges incurred for the collection of garbage, recyclables, green waste, and other refuse.

Paramount Municipal Code, Section 13.20.210 requires the City to assist Athens with the collection of delinquent residential invoices. This section further states that ten (10) days after City Council approval is obtained for the assessment of unpaid accounts (see attachment), the City can then submit the assessments for outstanding dues to the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office for placement upon the applicable property owner’s tax bill.

DISCUSSION
The City has placed unpaid trash collection bills as assessments against properties for over 30 years. Properties are assessed only after Athens representatives have made all reasonable attempts to collect the delinquent amounts. In addition to sending the normal quarterly bills and past due notices listing any unpaid amounts, Athens notified the affected property owners and tenants of the unpaid amounts by letter on May 29, 2024 and June 14, 2024. On June 26, 2024, the City re-notified the affected property owners that any unpaid amounts would be placed as assessments against their property and that the City Council would hold a public hearing on July 9, 2024, to discuss the assessments for delinquent trash bills. By the time these unpaid bills are presented to the City Council, both the property owner and tenants have cumulatively received six notices of the delinquent amount. In addition, on June 25, 2024, the City published a public hearing notice in the Paramount Journal.

The City occasionally receives calls from property owners expressing concerns about the assessment. Many property owners claim that their property was unoccupied during the delinquent billing period, occupied by tenants, or that they did not own the property during the period in question. The City investigates these claims and informs Athens of the need to adjust accounts when appropriate.

Agenda Report July 9, 2024
TAX ASSESSMENT – DELINQUENT REFUSE COLLECTION CHARGES Page 2 The list of delinquent accounts and assessments is attached to this report. As of the writing of this report, there are 272 delinquent accounts, representing $112,767.24 for Calendar Year 2023. The list of delinquent accounts and the total of these accounts will change due to payments still being processed through July 31st. The updated list of delinquent accounts will later be submitted to the Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller for processing.

FISCAL IMPACT
Each delinquent account is assessed an administrative fee of $60 to cover fees and charges from the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office for placement in the property tax rolls. Once the lien is paid, the City receives 10%, or $6, of the administrative fee to cover administrative expenses related to the tax lien process.

VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No 6: Efficient, Effective, and Fiscally Responsible - Deliver an efficient and effective City government in a fiscally responsible, transparent and collaborative manner.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Notwithstanding any testimony received during the public hearing, it is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to submit the updated Calendar Year 2023 delinquent refuse collection charge list to the Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller after July 31st for processing.
