SUBJECT: APPROVING THE AMENDED AND RESTATED JOINT EXERCISE OF

POWERS AGREEMENT FOR THE LOS ANGELES GATEWAY REGION

INTEGRATED REGIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY

BACKGROUND
The Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority (“Gateway Water Management Authority” or “GWMA”) was established in 2007 by a Joint Powers Authority Agreement (“JPA”). The agency was formed to address the state’s efforts that encouraged and prioritized regional, multi-party, and/or multi-benefit projects for competitive funding. Because GWMA’s membership and responsibilities have grown and evolved since its inception, the JPA Agreement is now being amended to best reflect current and anticipated activities, roles, and responsibilities.

On April 10, 2025, GWMA’s Governing Board approved the attached Amended and Restated JPA Agreement by a super-majority vote. Each member agency is now requested to formally adopt the updated JPA Agreement, as presented.

DISCUSSION
The Gateway Water Management Authority was formed in 2007 to address water supply reliability, water quality, stormwater, and flood control in the Gateway Region of Los Angeles County. With a population of more than 2 million people, GWMA members have successfully worked together to develop regional projects, and seek and receive local, state and/or federal funds to support those projects.

GWMA members are made up of Gateway cities and water agencies that represent distinctive hydrogeological, topographic, demographic, political, and economic elements.

Membership in the GWMA has proven to successfully communicate the Gateway region’s needs with a single voice increasing opportunities for project and funding partners.

Since its inception, GWMA’s membership has increased and GWMA’s role has evolved significantly. Currently, membership has grown to 28 cities and water agencies combined. With that growth, GWMA has been able to respond to the changing water conditions and challenges in Southern California. In addition to developing regional projects and seeking grant funds to support them, GWMA continues its critical role as part Agenda Report June 10, 2025
RESOLUTION NO. 25:018 Page 2
of the Greater Los Angeles County Integrated Regional Water Management by ensuring that the Gateway region’s voice is always heard. Further, GWMA’s added role since 2012 has been to facilitate and administratively support watershed stormwater compliance programs under the MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System) Permit for the Lower Los Angeles River, Lower San Gabriel River, Los Cerritos Channel and several other regional groups of cities working together to comply with the MS4 Permit for monitoring/reporting harbor stormwater flows required by the State’s Regional Water Quality Control Board.

In 2024, GWMA staff and legal counsel provided several updates regarding the proposed modifications to the JPA Agreement. These changes include: board member terms and allowing for up to three alternates; updating the list of members cities/agencies; defining a super-majority vote for certain board actions; and no longer requiring a lead agency to be appointed to conduct the financial/contractual affairs of GWMA (which have been done in-house since 2014).

On January 14, 2025, City staff received the draft Amended and Restated JPA Agreement for review and comment. Legal Counsel was also requested to review the document.

Comments were due to GWMA staff by March 14, 2025.

On April 10th, GWMA staff presented the revised draft agreement to the GWMA Board, showing the incorporated members’ comments to the JPA Agreement. After discussion, the GWMA Board approved the Amended and Restated JPA Agreement by a supermajority vote which is presented herein.

FISCAL IMPACT
No change from prior fiscal years. Annual dues will continue to be assessed and approved by a super-majority vote of the GWMA Board to support the ongoing work of the GWMA.

Funds are included in the Public Works operating budget to cover this annual expense.

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 5: Attractive and WellMaintained Infrastructure - Develop and maintain City-owned infrastructure, parks, facilities, and amenities that enhance quality of life and the attractiveness of the community.

(ii) Each Member is a “public agency,” as defined in the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, California Government Code Section 6500, et seq., and all are authorized to enter into this Agreement in order to exercise powers common to these public agencies. (iii) This Agreement creates a public entity, separate from its Members, that is capable of carrying out the purposes of this Agreement.
(iv) Each Member is a “local agency,” as defined in the Integrated Regional Water Management Planning Act, California Water Code Section 10530, et seq. (“IRWMPA”). As of the effective date of this Agreement, all Members function within the County of Los Angeles.

(viii) The Members acknowledge that the GWMA may contract and cooperate with other regional water management groups and agencies to develop, administer, update, and implement, an Integrated Water Management Plan for the Greater Los Angeles County area.

AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, terms, conditions and covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1. Recitals Incorporated. The recitals set forth above, are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement.

2. Purposes. This Agreement is made pursuant to the provisions of the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, relating to the exercise of powers common to the Members. The purpose of this Agreement is to jointly exercise the powers set forth herein as to the Gateway Region, and, acting as a “regional water management group,” to jointly prepare, contract for the preparation and implementation of, and/or adopt a “regional plan” for the management of water resources, and for implementation and operation of “qualified projects or programs,” and/or the preparation of “qualified reports and studies,” as those quoted terms are defined in the IRWMPA.

(b) Term of Members. Each member and alternate member of the Governing Board serves until removed by the applicable Member’s legislative body. Board members and alternates may be removed at any time by the appointing Member’s legislative body. Vacancies shall be filled in the same manner as the original appointment. (c) Compensation. Governing Board members receive no compensation for attending required meetings.

(2) Act on behalf of all Members in adopting strategies to pursue the purposes of the GWMA and implement such strategies.
(3) Approve a budget to expend funds necessary to exercise the powers and achieve the purposes of the GWMA, as set forth in this Agreement, and as otherwise provided by law.

(8) Adopt by-laws, rules and regulations governing operations of the GWMA.
(9) Appoint such ad hoc or standing committees of its Members as it may deem appropriate, all in uniformity with the Ralph M. Brown Act (Sections 54950 et seq.). (g) Meetings. The Governing Board shall conduct regular and special meetings in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act, commencing with California Government Code Section 54950, or any successor provision thereto. It shall hold at least one (1) regular meeting in each year and such additional meetings as may be necessary to accomplish the purposes specified herein. Regular meetings shall be held at such location as the Governing Board may determine by Resolution. Minutes shall be kept of all meetings of the GWMA and shall be provided to the Members and made available to the public. Meetings shall be conducted in accordance with rules of procedure adopted by the Governing Board (the most current edition of “Roberts Rules of Order” as of the effective date of this Agreement).

Except as specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, any rule of procedure affecting the order of business may be suspended with the approval of a majority of Board members then voting.

7. Organization.
(a) Officers. The Governing Board shall elect a chair, a vice-chair, treasurer and/or such other officers as the Board shall find appropriate. The Governing Board shall also appoint a secretary, who need not be a member of the Governing Board. Each officer shall serve at the pleasure of the Governing Board. Upon approval by the Governing Board, all contracts, deeds and other official documents on behalf of the GWMA shall be executed by the Chair or the Executive Officer, and attested to by the Secretary and approved as to form by GWMA’s legal counsel or other appropriate officer.
12664-0001\3009909v6.doc
(b) Employees. The Governing Board may appoint an Executive Officer, controller, clerk, legal counsel or other employees as it deems appropriate and may establish the duties and compensation of such employees.

The Treasurer and Auditor shall comply strictly with the provisions of statutes relating to their duties, as set forth in the Joint Exercise of Powers Act. The Governing Board may transfer the responsibilities of Treasurer and/or Auditor to any person or entity as may then be authorized by law.
(d) Consultants. The GWMA is authorized to enter into contracts and pay consultants pursuant to the GWMA’s purchasing procedure to perform any work or activity it is empowered to perform hereunder, including the provision of professional, financial, legal, administrative, technical or other services.

If a lead agency is selected, by majority vote the Governing Board may change the Lead Agency at any time. In such event, the officers of the new Lead Agency shall serve as the respective officers of the GWMA. (f) Property of the GWMA. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 6505.6, the Governing Board may designate an officer or employee, or officers and employees, in addition to the Treasurer, to receive, deposit, invest, and disburse the money of the GWMA pursuant to California Government Code Sections 6505.5 and 6509.5. The Governing Board shall fix the amount of the official bond to be filed by each such designee.

Contracts over $100,000 shall require a super-majority vote of the Governing Board to approve. Contributions may be assessed against Members on an equal basis, or upon such other basis as may be determined by the Governing Board. Within thirty (30) days of such an assessment by the Governing Board becoming effective, each Member, 12664-0001\3009909v6.doc
shall make the required contribution, provided that any Member not wishing to make such contribution may, in the alternative, withdraw from the GWMA within said period by adopting a resolution of withdrawal by its legislative body and otherwise complying with Section 15.

12. Eligibility for Membership and Admission. Any local public agency that is a member of the Gateway Cities Council of Governments, or that has statutory authority over a water supply with the Gateway Cities Region, may apply to become a member of the GWMA pursuant to an action taken by the legislative body of such public agency and may become a Member upon a super-majority vote of the Governing Board and execution of this Agreement. At the time of approval of admission, the Governing Board may request that the new Member make a payment of any costs incurred by the GWMA to date, to the extent the benefit of those costs will be derived or will continue to be derived after the new Member agency has joined the GWMA.

13. Accounts, Reports, and Audits. The following procedures shall be followed to ensure strict accountability of all funds of the GWMA and to provide for accurate reporting of receipts and disbursements of said funds:
(a) The Auditor shall either prepare or contract with a certified public accountant to prepare an annual audit of the GWMA’s accounts and records. The minimum requirements for such audits shall be those prescribed by the State Controller for special districts under California Government Code Section 26909 or successor statute and shall conform to generally accepted accounting principles.
(b) A report of said audit shall be filed as a public record with each Member and with the County Auditor of the County of Los Angeles. Such report shall be filed within twelve (12) months of the end of the fiscal year or years under examination. (c) Any additional procedures pertaining to accountability of funds and assets of the GWMA, as specified in the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, shall be followed.

14. Obligation for Debts and Liabilities and Distribution of Assets. Except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable law, no Member shall be individually responsible for any of the debts, liabilities or obligations of the GWMA, and all such debts, liabilities and obligations shall exclusively be those of the GWMA.
(a) Indemnification.
(1) Each Member agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the GWMA and all other Members, and employees, officers and agents of the GWMA, free and harmless with respect to any and all claims, liabilities, losses, and damages, including legal fees and expenses, to the extent arising out of or connected with the acts or omissions, or breach or default, of such Member, or any person or entity acting on behalf of such Member, in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement. (2) The GWMA shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless, jointly and severally, each of its Members and the Members’ officers, officials, employees, agents, and representatives with respect to any loss, damage, injury, claim, litigation, or liability, including attorney’s fees and costs, arising out of or in any way related to the creation, 12664-0001\3009909v6.doc
operation, functioning, decisions, or actions of the GWMA or the GWMA’s officers, officials, employees, agents, or representatives.
(3) The provision of indemnity set forth in this Section shall not be construed to obligate the GWMA to pay any liability, including but not limited to punitive damages, which by law would be contrary to public policy or otherwise unlawful. (b) Tort Liability. Government Code Section 895.2 imposes certain tort liability jointly upon public agencies solely by reason of such public agencies being parties to an agreement as defined in Government Code Section 895. Therefore, the Member public agencies, as among themselves, pursuant to the authorization contained in Government Code Sections 895.4 and 895.6, each assume the full liability imposed upon it or any of its officers, agents, employees or representatives by law for injury caused by a negligent or wrongful action or inaction, or omission, occurring in the performance of this Agreement, to the same extent that such liability would be imposed in the absence of Government Code Section 895.2. To achieve this purpose, each Member public agency indemnifies and holds harmless each other party and the GWMA, for any loss, cost or expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees and consultant fees that may be imposed upon or incurred by such other Member public agency or the GWMA solely by virtue of Government Code Section 895.2. (c) Funds for Defense. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) or (b), above, by a super-majority vote of the Governing Board, the Board may approve the expenditure of GWMA funds to defend, indemnify and hold the GWMA, members of the Governing Board, and/or any employee or agent of the GWMA, free and harmless from claims and liabilities arising in connection with their actions taken in good faith, and while within the scope of their duties being performed on behalf of the GWMA. (d) Self-Insure. The GWMA may self-insure or purchase insurance, and/or-, require the Members to self-insure or purchase insurance, in order to comply with any of the defense and indemnity requirements herein.
(e) Privileges and Immunities. All of the privileges and immunities from liability, exemptions from laws, ordinances, and rules, all pension, relief, disability, worker’s compensation, and other benefits which apply to the activity of officers, agents, or employees of any Member when performing their respective functions within the territorial limits of the Member, shall apply to them to the same degree and extent while engaged in the performance on any of their functions and duties extraterritorially hereunder.

15. Withdrawal by a Member. Subject to the provisions of this section, any Member may withdraw from the GWMA by providing the Governing Board no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice including a copy of the initiating resolution by the legislative body of the withdrawing Member. The withdrawing Member shall pay all unpaid contributions that were approved by the Governing Board more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the date of the notice of withdrawal. No Member may withdraw unless and until it has satisfied any and all outstanding contractual obligations, or other indebtedness for which such Member would otherwise be obligated, in whole or in part, to pay. “Outstanding contractual obligations” includes the obligations for payments on contracts which the GWMA has entered into and are legally binding but where additional services will be performed in the future, until the contract has been fully performed.

This Agreement may not be terminated so long as the GWMA has any outstanding contractual obligations or other indebtedness.

18. Amendment. Except for amendments that change the GWMA’s powers, duties, indemnification requirements, or financial responsibilities, this Agreement may be amended by a super-majority vote of the Governing Board. Otherwise, this Agreement may be amended by a majority vote of the Governing Board and by a majority vote of the Members acting by resolution of their legislative bodies.

19. Legal Actions.
(a) Remedies. The GWMA is hereby authorized to take any and all legal or equitable actions, including but not limited to, seeking an injunction and/or specific performance, necessary or permitted by law, to enforce this Agreement. (b) Applicable Law and Forum. The laws of the State of California shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement, without regard to conflict of law principles.

20. Liberal Construction; Severability. In the event of any litigation over the meaning of this Agreement or the GWMA of any agency of the GWMA, this Agreement shall be 12664-0001\3009909v6.doc
liberally construed to effectuate its purposes. Should any part, term or provision of this Agreement be decided by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or in conflict with any law of the State of California or federal law, or otherwise be rendered unenforceable or invalid, the validity of the remaining portions and/or provisions shall not be affected thereby.

21. Conflicts of Interest. No officers, official, or employee of the GWMA shall have any financial interest, direct or indirect, in the GWMA nor shall any such person participate in any decision relating to the GWMA which affects his or her financial interests, in violation of any State law or regulation.

22. Books and Records. All books, records, accounts, and documents of the GWMA shall be available at any reasonable time to the Directors and, to the extent provided by the California Public Records Act (Government Code Section 7920.000, et seq.) shall be public records.

BACKGROUND
The City has an ongoing need for integrated pest management (IPM) services to support the maintenance of clean, safe, and visually appealing public spaces. These services include weed abatement, rodent control, and other pest management efforts across city streets, alleys, medians, parks, and municipal facilities. Effective IPM is essential for preserving infrastructure, promoting public health, and enhancing the overall appearance of the community.

DISCUSSION
On Thursday, May 8, 2025, the City published the Request for Proposals in the Paramount Journal and on the City’s website.

On Thursday, May 22, 2025, the Director of Public Works opened and examined the bids for integrated pest management services. The bids were opened at 11:00 AM at the Public Works Yard.

The term of this agreement shall be for two (2) years with the option to renew administratively for an additional one (1) year extension.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Public Works operating budget originally budgeted a total of $44,500 for pest and weed abatement services in FY 2025-26. Staff is requesting an additional appropriation of $23,000 from the General Fund (Fund 111) to cover the full contract cost. Of this amount, $13,800 will be allocated to Landscape (111-5122-5151) for weed abatement and $9,200 to Facilities (111-5121-5265) for pest control services.

14. California Labor Code Requirements.
a. Consultant is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Sections 1720, et seq. and 1770, et seq., which require the payment of prevailing wages and the performance of other requirements on certain “public works” and “maintenance” projects (“Prevailing Wage Laws”). If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if the total compensation is $1,000 or more, Consultant agrees to fully comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. These rates are on file with the City Clerk or may be obtained at: http://www.dir.ca.gov/OPRL/DPreWageDetermination.htm.

Consultant shall post a copy of such wage rates at the job site and shall pay the adopted prevailing wage rates as a minimum.

(ii) Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claims, liabilities, costs, penalties or interest arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws.

The requirement to submit certified payroll records directly to the Labor Commissioner under Labor Code Section 1771.4 shall not apply to work performed on a public works project that is exempt pursuant to the small project exemption specified in Labor Code Section 1771.4. b. If the Services are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, then pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, the Consultant and all subcontractors performing such Services must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. Consultant shall maintain registration for the duration of this Agreement and require the same of any subcontractors, as applicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the contractor registration requirements mandated by Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1 shall not apply to work performed on a public works project that is exempt pursuant to the small project exemption specified in Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1.
c. This Agreement may also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations.

Any stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Consultant or any Paramount PSA (January 2025) 7
subcontractor that affect Consultant’s performance of the Services, including any delay, shall be Consultant’s sole responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered Consultant caused delay and shall not be compensable by the City. Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Consultant or any subcontractor.

15. Data Security.
a. As used in this Agreement, “City Data” means any and all information and data provided or made accessible, directly or indirectly, to Consultant by City, or otherwise acquired from City, in connection with Consultant’s performance of the Services.

2. Types of Insurance Required. 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. Commercial Automobile Liability Insurance: Consultant 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 Consultant 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. The City of Paramount, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees and volunteers shall be named as additional insureds on such policy.

D. Cyber Liability: Vendor shall maintain comprehensive cyber liability insurance with limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence/loss and $2,000,000 general aggregate. If the coverage is maintained on a claims-made basis, the Vendor shall maintain such coverage for an additional three (3) years following termination of the contract.

E. For Commercial General Liability and Commercial Automobile Liability (CGL Coverage): The City will be named as an additional insured, under the commercial general liability (“CGL”) liability insurance policy coverage, for all liability arising out of the operations by or on behalf of the named insured, and this CGL liability 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.

Paramount PSA (January 2025) Exhibit C - 2
(i) Each such CGL 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 CGL 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: 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, or require proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention.

3. Waiver of Subrogation. All policies of Commercial General Liability, Commercial Automobile Liability, and Worker’s Compensation 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 to the extent of such coverage.

4. Evidence of Insurance. The Consultant shall deliver redacted copies of the required policies or original certificates of insurance and redacted or specimen endorsements issued by their insurer. The Consultant and its insurer are solely responsible for ensuring that the required insurance complies with this Agreement and provides adequate coverage for all services performed. The Consultant shall procure insurance policies that meet the stated standards.

At least fifteen (15) days before any policy expires, or within a reasonable time after policy renewal, the Consultant shall provide evidence of renewal or replacement coverage.

The City may request copies of insurance policies and endorsements for informational purposes only, without assuming any obligation to verify compliance or adequacy.

Paramount PSA (January 2025) Exhibit C - 3

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 noncompliance 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 .

SUBJECT: INTERFUND LOAN BETWEEN THE GENERAL FUND AND THE WATER FUND

BACKGROUND
In May 2010, an Enterprise Fund Installment Sale Agreement was executed between the City of Paramount and the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (“IBank”) for a $5,500,000 loan under the Bergeson-Pearce Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank Act. The Agreement between I-Bank and the City was a loan to construct a water well and other water treatment facilities. The loan is to be repaid by August 2039, over 30 years at 3.31% annual interest. The City has pledged net system revenues of the Water Fund to the repayment of the note. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding balance is $3,655,036.

In May 2018, another agreement was made between I-Bank and the City for a loan of $6,700,000 to construct Water Well 16 and other water treatment facilities. The loan is to be repaid by August 2047, over 30 years at 3.03% annual interest. The City has pledged net system revenues of the Water Fund to the repayment of the note. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding balance is $5,916,554. The Installment Sales Agreement required the City to demonstrate that Net System Water Enterprise Revenues will exceed 1.2 Maximum Annual Debt Service (MADS) in any future fiscal year.

Due to various factors, Water Well 16 is not yet operational and the City has had to purchase expensive imported water to meet the daily demand of our residents and businesses. Exacerbated by the spiraling inflation that occurred since the pandemic, the unanticipated imported water expense has increased the annual operating costs by approximately $2 million per year. Once Water Well 16 is approved to provide potable water, the Water Fund expenses should see a dramatic reduction. At present, the State’s Division of Drinking Water is monitoring the well and it is not certain when Well 16 will be approved to provide potable water.

In addition, on December 12, 2023, the City Council approved the financing of $11,236,354 to purchase and install Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) water meters in an effort to improve water revenue collection, conservation and operational efficiencies.

The $11.2 million, 20-year term loan is to be repaid utilizing the savings recovered from the accuracy of the residential and commercial water bills and the City’s reduced Agenda Report June 10, 2025
INTERFUND LOAN BETWEEN GENERAL FUND AND WATER FUND Page 2 maintenance cost. However, the full installation of the AMI meters is not expected to be completed until around July 2025, and in addition, the City Council gave staff policy direction to phase in full cost recovery of the increased water bills over a 12-mohth period.

These conditions led the Water Fund to the point that the net revenue from the operation will be insufficient to meet the debt service coverage ratio required for the I-Bank agreements.

In FY 2024, the City Council approved two interfund loans of $850,00 each for FY 2024 and FY 2025 from the General Fund to the Water Fund after staff recommended the interfund loans to provide cashflow for operating expenditures and satisfy the debt service coverage ratio required by I-bank. The proposed loan terms contain a simple interest of 4%, which will begin to accrue on July 1, 2026, and the Water Fund is to fully repay the General Fund by June 30, 2026, or have a repayment schedule in place by then. The interfund loans are considered interest-free if fully repaid within two years.

DISCUSSION
The $6.7 million loan between the City and I-Bank states that under Section 2.11(a)(2) titled Permitted Additional Parity Debt under the Installment Sales Agreement No. CIEDB 18-122 requires the City to demonstrate that Net System Water Enterprise Revenues will exceed 1.2 Maximum Annual Debt Service (MADS) in any future fiscal year on the proposed parity debt. To comply with the debt service coverage ratio requirement set forth by I-Bank and to continue providing cashflow requirements, staff recommends an additional $850,000 interfund loan from the General Fund to the Water Fund for FY 2025-

26. The loan will bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.25% per annum, commencing on June 10, 2025. Interest shall accrue from this date and will be payable in accordance with an interest-bearing repayment schedule over a period of two years, as further detailed in Attachment A.

Currently, the City is in year four of the 5-year phase-in of water rate increases, which became effective in January 2022. The last rate increase will be effective January 2026.

Along with the AMI meters, the final remedial action is to continue conducting a comprehensive Water Rate Study to reevaluate the water rates and recommend appropriate actions necessary to ensure the sustainability of the City’s Water operation and ability to repay its debt obligations to I-Bank and the City’s General Fund

FISCAL IMPACT
Staff recommends an $850,000 interfund loan for FY 2025-26 from the General Fund to the Water Fund to assist the Water Fund with its cashflow needs for operating expenditures and debt coverage ratio obligations. The Water Fund is to fully repay the General Fund by June 30, 2028, with an interest-bearing repayment schedule as described under Attachment A; however, the repayment is unsecured and subordinate to the payment of all I-Bank loan obligations.

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.

CITY OF PARAMOUNT

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
RESOLUTION NO. 25:023

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT

APPROVING AN INTERFUND LOAN BETWEEN THE GENERAL FUND

AND THE WATER FUND
WHEREAS, In May 2010, an Enterprise Fund Installment Sale Agreement was executed between the City of Paramount and the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (“I-Bank”) for a $5,500,000 loan under the Bergeson-Pearce Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank Act to construct a water well and other water treatment facilities; the loan is to be repaid by August 2039 and currently has a balance of approximately $3.6 million as of June 30, 2024; and WHEREAS, thereafter, the City and I-Bank entered into an additional Installment Sales agreement for $6,700,000 to construct Water Well 16 and other water treatment facilities, which is to be repaid by August 2047 and the City has pledged net system revenues of the Water Fund to the repayment of the loan, which currently has a balance of approximately $5.9 million as of June 30, 2024; and
WHEREAS, according to the Installment Sales Agreements, the City must demonstrate that Net System Water Enterprise Revenues will exceed 1.2 Maximum Annual Debt Service (MADS) in any fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, because Water Well 16 is not yet operational and the City has had to purchase costlier imported water to meet the daily demand of residents and businesses; and this unanticipated increased cost, along with inflation, has increased the annual operating costs by approximately $2 million per year; and WHEREASE, at present, the State’s Division of Drinking Water is monitoring the well and it is not certain when Water Well 16 will be approved to provide potable water; when once Well 16 is approved to provide potable water, the Water Fund expenses will decrease; and
WHEREAS, on December 12, 2023, the City Council also approved the financing of a 20-year term loan for $11,236,354 to purchase and install Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) water meters in an effort to improve water revenue collection, conservation and operational efficiencies, which is to be repaid utilizing the savings recovered from the accuracy of the residential and commercial water bills and the City’s reduced maintenance cost; and
WHEREAS, per City Council direction, full cost recovery of the increased water bills phasing in over a 12-month period means the Water Fund will not immediately recover sufficient revenues; and
WHEREAS, for all of these reasons, the Water Fund’s net revenues from its RESOLUTION NO. 25:023

operations will be insufficient to meet the debt service coverage ratio required for the IBank agreements; and WHEREAS, the City Council approved two interfund loans of $850,00 each for FY 2024 and FY 2025 from the General Fund to the Water Fund after staff recommended the interfund loans to provide cashflow for operating expenditures and satisfy the debt service coverage ratio required by I-bank; and
WHEREAS, the City General Fund therefore will lend the Water Fund an additional $850,000 loan in Fiscal Year 2025-26 on the terms and conditions set out in the Agreement Regarding Interfund Loan Between Water Fund and General Fund attached as Attachment “A”; and
WHEREAS, the Water Fund shall provide the City with an interest-bearing repayment schedule as described in the Agreement, which includes a 4.25% interest rate that will begin to accrue starting June 10, 2025. The repayment shall occur to the extent that any net revenues are available after payment of all operating expenses and installment payments required to be paid under the Installment Sale Agreements with the I-Bank; and
WHEREAS, the obligation of the Water Enterprise Fund to repay the General Fund shall be subordinate to its obligations under the Installment Sale Agreements.

1 Agreement Regarding Interfund Loan Between Water Fund and General Fund This Agreement is between the Water Fund (“Water Fund”) and the City of Paramount through its General Fund (“General Fund”), as approved by the City of Paramount City Council (“City Council”) effective as of June 10, 2025.

Recitals
A. In May 2010, an Enterprise Fund Installment Sale Agreement was executed between the City of Paramount and the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (“I-Bank”) for a $5,500,000 loan under the Bergeson-Pearce Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank Act to construct a water well and other water treatment facilities; the loan is to be repaid by August 2039 and currently has a balance of approximately $3,655,036 as if June 30, 2024; and B. In May 2018, another agreement was made between I-Bank and the City for a loan of $6,700,000 to construct Water Well 16 and other water treatment facilities. The loan is to be repaid by August 2047, over 30 years at 3.03% annual interest. The City has pledged net system revenues of the Water Fund to the repayment of the note. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding balance is $5,916,554.

C. Per the Installment Sales Agreement, the City is required to demonstrate that Net System Water Enterprise Revenues will exceed 1.2 Maximum Annual Debt Service (MADS) in any future fiscal year.

D. Due to various factors, Water Well 16 is not yet operational and the City has had to purchase costlier imported water to meet the daily demand of residents and businesses. Exacerbated by the spiraling inflation that has occurred since the Pandemic, the unanticipated imported water expense has increased the annual operating costs by approximately $2 million per year. Once Water Well 16 is approved to provide potable water, the Water Fund expenses should see a dramatic reduction. At present, the State’s Division of Drinking Water is monitoring the well and it is not certain when Water Well 16 will be approved to provide potable water.

E. On December 12, 2023, the City Council approved the financing of $11,236,354 to purchase and install Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) water meters in an effort to improve water revenue collection, conservation and operational efficiencies. The $11.2 million, 20-year term loan is to be repaid utilizing the savings recovered from the accuracy of the residential and commercial water bills and the City’s reduced maintenance cost. However, the full installation of the AMI meters is not expected to be completed until July 2025, and in addition, the City Council gave staff policy directions to phase in full cost recovery of the increased water bills over a 12-month period.
2 F. These conditions led the Water Fund to the point that the net revenues from the operation will be insufficient to meet the debt service coverage ratio required for the I-Bank agreements.

G. The City Council approved two interfund loans of $850,00 each for FY 2024 and FY 2025 from the General Fund to the Water Fund after staff recommended the interfund loans to provide cashflow for operating expenditures and satisfy the debt service coverage ratio required by I-bank; and
H. The City Council now wishes to document an interfund loan agreement between the Water Fund and General Fund.

Now, therefore, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Recitals. The Recitals set out above are true and correct.

2. Interfund Loan: Effective as of the date of this Agreement, the City Council authorizes an interfund loan to the Water Fund and the recognition of debt between the General Fund and Water Fund in the amount of $850,000 for FY 2025-26 (the “Loan Amount”).

A. Debt to the City: Any and all such Loan Amounts shall become a debt of the Water Fund to the General Fund at the time they are due and shall be shown as such on the City books, records and budget.

B. Interest: The City shall charge interest on the interfund loan at the rate of 4.25% simple interest per annum. The loan will bear interest commencing on June 10, 2025. Interest accrual will only be on the outstanding principal balance of the loan.

C. Debt Service Schedule. The Water Fund shall provide the City with an interest-bearing repayment schedule as described in Exhibit A, which includes the 4.25% interest rate set out in (B) above. The Water Fund is to fully repay the General Fund by June 30, 2028, with an interestbearing repayment schedule. The repayment shall occur to the extent any net revenues are available after payment of all operating expenses and installment payments required to be paid under the Installment Sale Agreements with the I-Bank. The obligation of the Water Enterprise Fund to repay the General Fund shall be subordinate to its obligations under the Installment Sale Agreements.

3. Water Rate Study. In Fiscal Year 2025-26, the Finance Department will consider to continue to conduct a Comprehensive Water Rate Study to determine the most appropriate water rates for the next five years.
3 4. Term. This Agreement shall continue until terminated by mutual written agreement of the City and Water Fund.

5. Miscellaneous. This Agreement may be amended only in writing, executed by both Parties. No waiver of any term or conditions of this Agreement shall be a continuing waiver thereof.

SUBJECT: ADOPTING THE STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY FOR THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026

BACKGROUND
California Government Code Section 53646 recommends that local agencies review and approve their investment policy once a year at a public meeting. While it is not required by statute after January 1, 2005, it is in the best interest of the City to continue to discuss the policy with the City Council and have the policy approved and adopted. A public vote signifies that the City Council shares fiduciary responsibility with the City’s treasurer and increases the authority and legitimacy of the investment policy, providing for transparency and disclosure. We believe that the annual review and adoption is a financially sound organizational practice that should be maintained even if there are no changes to the policy.

DISCUSSION
We believe that the Investment Policy (Exhibit A) provides guidelines for the prudent investment of the City’s temporary idle cash and outlines the procedures for maximizing the efficiency of the City’s cash management. This Investment Policy has been prepared in conformance with the existing laws of the State of California for General Law cities and adheres to the standards set forth by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), the Municipal Treasurers' Association of the United States and Canada (MTA US&C), and the California Municipal Treasurer’s Association (CMTA).

Moreover, the City’s investment portfolio advisors at Time Value Investments, Inc. reviewed the City’s Investment Policy and advised that there are no changes to the California local government investment regulations that would mitigate a change to the City’s policy as currently constructed. Time Value Investments, Inc. has concluded that every investment within the City’s portfolio is in compliance with the current policy and recommends no changes to the City’s current Investment Policy.

The proposed policy continues to uphold the City‘s established investment objectives in accordance with the Prudent Investor Standard in the following order of priority (1) safety (2) liquidity and (3) return on investment, consistent with the standards set forth in the investment policy.

1. Policy
The City of Paramount shall invest public funds in such a manner as to comply with state and local laws; ensure prudent money management; provide for daily cash flow requirements; and meet the objectives of the Policy, in priority order of Safety, Liquidity and Return on investment. In accordance with the Municipal Code of the City of Paramount and under authority granted by the City Council, the City Finance Director is responsible for investing the unexpended cash in the City Treasury.

2. Scope
The investment policy applies to all investment activities and financial assets of the City of Paramount as accounted for in the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR).

This policy is applicable, but not limited to, all funds listed below:
• General Fund
• Capital Funds
• Other Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, Internal Service Funds • Trust and Agency Funds
• Any new fund created by the City Council unless specifically exempted.

3. Prudence
The standard of prudence to be used by the designated representative shall be the “prudent investor” standard and shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio. Persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of local agencies investing public funds are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard which states, “When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency”.

The City Finance Director and other individuals assigned to manage the investment portfolio, acting within the intent and scope of the investment policy and other written procedures and exercising due diligence, shall be relieved of personal responsibility and liability for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely manner and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.

4. Objectives
The City’s primary investment objectives, in order of priority, shall be:

1. Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.

Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. The City shall seek to preserve principal by mitigating the two types of risk: credit risk and market risk.

City of Paramount – Investment Policy 3
a. Credit risk, defined as the risk of loss due to failure of the issuer of a security, shall be mitigated by investing in issuers that carry the direct or implied backing of the U.S. Government (including, but not limited to, the U.S.

Treasury, U.S. Government Agencies, and federally insured banks). The portfolio will be diversified so that the failure of any one issuer does not unduly harm the City's capital base and cash flow.
b. Market risk, (aka “interest rate risk”) defined as market value fluctuations due to overall changes in the general level of interest rates shall be mitigated by limiting the maximum maturity of any one security to five years, structuring the portfolio based on historic and current cash flow analysis eliminating the need to sell securities prior to maturity and avoiding the purchase of long-term securities for the sole purpose of short term speculation. Moreover, it is the City's full intent, at the time of purchase, to hold all investments until maturity to ensure the return of all invested principal dollars. Limited exceptions will be granted for security swaps that would improve the portfolio’s yield and/or credit quality.

2. Liquidity: The City’s investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City of Paramount to meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated.

3. Return on Investments: The City’s investment portfolio shall have the objective of attaining a comparative performance measurement or an acceptable rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles. These measurements should be commensurate with the City’s investment risk constraints identified in this Investment Policy and the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio.

5. Delegation of Authority
The Municipal Code of the City of Paramount and the authority granted by City Council assign the responsibility of investing unexpended cash to the City’s Finance Director.

Daily management responsibility of the investment program may be delegated to the Assistant Finance Director, who shall establish procedures for the operation consistent with this investment policy.

6. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that conflicts with proper execution of the investment program or impairs their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Additionally, the Finance Director and the Assistant Finance Director are required to annually file applicable financial disclosures as required by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC). Furthermore, Investment officials must refrain from undertaking personal investment transactions with the same individual(s) employed by the financial institution with whom business is conducted on behalf of the City.

City of Paramount – Investment Policy 4

7. Authorized Dealers and Institutions
The Finance Director will maintain a list of approved financial institutions authorized to provide investment services to the public agency in the State of California. These may include “primary” dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities & Exchange Commission Rule 15C3-1 (uniform net capital rule). Best practices include the following:
1) A determination that all approved broker/dealer firms, and individuals covering the public agency, are reputable and trustworthy; 2) the broker/dealer firms should have the ability to meet all their financial obligations in dealing with the Public Agency; 3) the firms, and individuals covering the agency, should be knowledgeable and experienced in Public Agency investing and the investment products involved; 4) no public deposit shall be made except in a qualified public depository as established by the established state laws; 4) all financial institutions and broker/dealers who desire to conduct investment transactions with the public agency may supply the Finance Director with audited financial statements, proof of FINRA certification, trading resolution, proof of State of California registration, a completed broker/dealer questionnaire, certification of having read the Public Agency’s investment policy and depository contracts.

The Finance Director may conduct an annual review of the financial condition and registrations of qualified dealers & institutions.

8. Authorized and Suitable Investments
Investment of City funds is governed by the California Government Code Sections 53600 et seq. Within the context of the limitations, the following investments are authorized, as further limited herein:

1. United States Treasury Bills, Bonds, and Notes or those for which the full faith and credit of the United States are pledged for payment of principal and interest. There is no percentage limitation of the portfolio that can be invested in this category, although a five-year maturity limitation is applicable.

2. Federal agency or United States government-sponsored enterprise obligations, participations, or other instruments, including those issued by or fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by federal agencies or United States governmentsponsored enterprises.

3. Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), which is a State of California managed investment pool, and Los Angeles County Investment pool, may be used up to the maximum permitted by California State Law. A review of the pool/fund is required when part of the list of authorized investments, with the knowledge that the pool/fund may include some investments allowed by statute but not explicitly identified in this investment policy.

4. Joint Powers Authority (JPA) Investment Pools - shares of beneficial interest issued by a JPA organized pursuant to CA Code (Section 6509.7) that invests in the securities and obligations in compliance with CA Code 53601 (subsection ‘a’ City of Paramount – Investment Policy 5
to ‘r’, inclusive) are also authorized. Each share shall represent an equal proportional interest in the underlying pool of securities owned by the JPA. To be eligible under this section, the JPA issuing the shares shall have retained an investment adviser that meets all of the following criteria:
• The adviser is registered or exempt from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
• The adviser has not less than five years of experience investing in the securities and obligations authorized in CA Code (subsection ‘a’ to ‘q’, inclusive).
• The adviser has assets under management in excess of five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000).

5. Negotiable Certificates of Deposit issued by a nationally or state-chartered bank, a savings association or a federal association (as defined by Section 5102 of the Financial Code), or by a state or federal credit union. Purchases of negotiable certificates of deposit may not exceed 30% of total portfolio. Principal and accrued interest on these investments must not exceed the $250,000 FDIC/NCUA insurance limit. A maturity limitation of five years is applicable.

6. Time deposits or placement service deposits, non-negotiable and collateralized in accordance with the California Government Code, may be purchased through banks or savings and loan associations. Since time deposits are not liquid, no more than 50% of the investment portfolio may be invested in this investment type. A maturity limitation of five years is applicable. Effective January 1, 2020, no more than 50 percent of the agency’s money may be invested in deposits, including certificates of deposit, through a placement service as authorized under 53601.8 (excludes negotiable certificates of deposit authorized under Section 53601(i)). On January 1, 2026, the maximum percentage of the portfolio reverts back to 30 percent. Investments made pursuant to 53635.8 remain subject to a maximum of 30 percent of the portfolio.

7. Various daily money market funds administered for or by trustees, paying agents and custodian banks contracted by the City of Paramount may be purchased as allowed under the State of California Government Code. Only funds holding U.S.

Treasury or Government agency obligations can be used.

9. Review of Investment Portfolio
The securities held by the City of Paramount must be in compliance with Section 8.0 “Authorized and Suitable Investments” at the time of purchase. The Finance Director should review the portfolio (at least annually) to identify those securities that do not comply.

The Finance Director should establish procedures to report any major and critical incidences of noncompliance identified through the review of the portfolio.

10. Investment Pools / Money Market Funds
A thorough investigation of the investment pool/money market fund is required prior to investing, and on a continual basis. Best efforts will be made to acquire the following information:

1. A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of investment policy and objectives.

2. A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed, and how gains and losses are treated.

3. A description of how the securities are safeguarded (including the settlement processes), and how often the securities are priced and the program audited.

City of Paramount – Investment Policy 7

4. A description of who may invest in the program, how often, what size deposit and withdrawal are allowed.

5. A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings.

6. Are reserves, retained earnings, etc. utilized by the pool/fund?

7. A fee schedule, and when and how is it assessed.

8. Is the pool/fund eligible for bond proceeds and/or will it accept such proceeds?

11. Collateralization
Collateralization will be required on two types of investments: non-negotiable certificates of deposit and repurchase (and reverse repurchase) agreements. To anticipate market changes and provide a level of security for all funds, the collateralization level will be 110% of market value for non-negotiable certificate of deposit and 102% for reverse repurchase agreements of principal and accrued interest.

Collateral will always be held by an independent third party with whom the entity has a current custodial agreement. A clearly marked evidence of ownership (safekeeping receipt) must be supplied to the entity and retained.

The City may waive the collateralization requirements for any portion of the deposit that is covered by Federal Deposit Insurance.

12. Safekeeping and Custody
All security transactions shall be conducted on a delivery-versus-payment (DVP) basis.

Securities will be held by a third-party custodian designated by the Treasurer and evidenced by safekeeping receipts.

13. Diversification
The City shall diversify the investments within the portfolio to avoid incurring unreasonable risks inherent in over-investing in specific instruments, individual financial institutions, or maturities. To promote diversification, no more than 5% of the portfolio may be invested in the securities of any one issuer, regardless of security type, excluding U.S.

Treasuries, federal agencies, and pooled investments such as LAIF, money market funds, or local government investment pools.

14. Maximum Maturities
To the extent possible, the City of Paramount will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. Unless matched to a specific cash flow, the City will not directly invest in securities maturing more than 5 years from the date of purchase.

Any investment longer than 5 years must be done with advance permission from City Council.

City of Paramount – Investment Policy 8

15. Internal Controls
The Finance Director is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the City of Paramount are protected from loss, theft, fraud or misuse.

Separation of functions between the City’s Finance Director or Assistant Finance Director and/or the City Senior Accountant is designed to provide an ongoing internal review to prevent the potential for converting assets or concealing transactions.

Investment decisions are made by the Finance Director, executed by the Finance Director or Assistant Finance Director, and confirmed by the Senior Accountant. All wire transfers initiated by the Finance Director or Assistant Finance Director must be reconfirmed by the appropriate financial institution to the Senior Accountant. Proper documentation obtained from confirmation and cash disbursement wire transfers is required for each investment transaction. Timely bank reconciliation is conducted to ensure proper handling of all transactions.

The investment portfolio and all related transactions are reviewed and balanced to appropriate general ledger accounts by the Senior Accountant on a monthly basis. An independent analysis by an external auditor shall be conducted annually to review and perform procedure testing on the City’s cash and investments that have a material impact on the financial statements. The Finance Director shall review and assure compliance with investment process and procedures.

16. Performance Standards
The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of obtaining a rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with the investment risk constraints and the cash flow needs.

The City intends to spread its investments relatively evenly between 0 and 5 years and hold those investments to maturity. The City is limiting its authorized investments to the safest end of the investment spectrum—debt issued by the U.S. Treasury, U.S.

Government Agencies, and debt that is federally insured (see section 8.0 Authorized and Suitable Investments, above, for a complete list of authorized investments). In addition, the City shall regularly review and monitor liquid funds, and when necessary, move them to the appropriate authorized investment pool option to ensure that it continues to meet the City’s investment objectives.

Therefore, an appropriate performance benchmark will be a Constant Treasury Maturity Rate consistent with the weighted average maturity of the portfolio. The City recognizes that benchmarks may change over time based on changes in market conditions or cash flow requirements.

17. Reporting
The City Finance Director shall review and render quarterly reports to the City Council that include the following information:

City of Paramount – Investment Policy 9
• Investment type (e.g. U.S. Treasury Note, U.S. Government Agency Bond) • Name of the issuer (e.g. Federal Farm Credit Bank, Federal Home Loan Bank) • Maturity date
• Yield to maturity
• Current market value and source of market value
• Par and dollar amount for each security the City has invested in • Par and dollar amount on any money held by the City (e.g. LAIF balance, Cash Balance).

The report shall also include a description of any of the City’s funds, investments, or programs that are under the management of contracted parties, including lending programs.

The quarterly report shall state compliance of the portfolio to the investment policy, or manner in which the portfolio is not in compliance.

The quarterly report shall include a statement denoting the ability of the City to meet its expenditure requirements for the next six months or provide an explanation as to why sufficient money shall (or may not) be available.

The quarterly reports shall be placed on the City Council’s meeting agenda for its review and approval no later than 45 days after the quarter ends. If there are no Council meetings within the 45-day period, the quarterly report shall be presented to the Council at the soonest possible meeting thereafter.

18. Investment Policy Adoption
The City of Paramount’s investment policy shall be adopted by resolution of the City Council. The policy shall be reviewed annually by the City Council and any modifications made thereto must be approved by the City Council.

The Finance Director shall establish written investment policy procedures for the operation of the investment program consistent with this policy. The procedures should include reference to: safekeeping, master repurchase agreements, wire transfer agreements, banking service contracts and collateral/depository agreements. Such procedures shall include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for investment transactions. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the City of Paramount.

BACKGROUND
In 1993, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 93:036 which established the collection of Public Art Fees in connection with development projects. In 2020, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1131 (Chapter 17.112 of the Municipal Code), formalizing public art requirements for private development within Paramount.

On May 7, 2025, the Planning Commission approved Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment No. 35, recommending that the City Council approve Ordinance No. 1200. This change to the Municipal Code would amend Section 17.04.010 (Definitions) and repeal and replace Chapter 17.112 in its entirety to establish revised regulations for art in publicly accessible places on private property and in public places in the City of Paramount.

DISCUSSION
On November 18, 2023, the City Council approved a professional service agreement with Gail M. Goldman Associates, LLC to prepare the City’s Public Art Master Plan. The Public Art Master Plan is now complete and was presented to the City Council earlier this evening. The revised and newly added definitions in Section 17.04.010 and the regulations in Chapter 17.112 of the Municipal Code reflect the Public Art Master Plan’s recommendations based on input from the community.

Summary of Proposed Revisions
The proposed ordinance would update Section 17.04.010 and Chapter 17.112 of the Municipal Code and include the following:

Agenda Report May 27, 2025
ORDINANCE NO. 1200 Page 2
• Include new definitions in Section 17.04.010 of the Municipal Code. Doing so will provide consistency with some of the text in the Public Art Master Plan and revised policies and procedures.
• Establish a Public Art Advisory Committee.
• Revise the existing “in-lieu” contribution. (An in-lieu contribution occurs in place of installing public art of equivalent value.) The existing contribution would be clarified to ensure the required public art value is either installed as artwork or contributed as a fee to total the required public art assessment of 1% of a project valuation. • Define the use of public art funds.
• Designate City Council role and responsibilities. Approval of public art associated with new private development or existing development along with the commissioning and acquisition of public art will be the sole responsibility of the City Council.

Environmental Assessment
This ordinance is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) which is the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and CEQA does not apply where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.
