7.6 Prioritization and Implementation of Mitigation Actions Potential mitigation actions were prioritized using the FEMA National Risk Index (NRI) score and information from the 2024 Los Angeles Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA), which both address hazards by frequency, severity, and impact. Both the NRI and THIRA follow established processes and use a standardized risk assessment methodology. The NRI incorporates multiple variables including physical impacts posed by hazards in addition to social vulnerability data that communicates risks specific to a certain community. Table 7-7 provides an overview of the NRI results for Los Angeles County across 18 hazards. Hazards rated as Relatively Low, Not Applicable, or No Rating were not included in this AHMP as they are uncommon in frequency in Los Angeles County; all other hazards are covered in this plan.

The THIRA is a process that communities undertake to assess risk and set capability targets to focus their preparedness efforts and strengthen response and recovery capabilities. There are three primary focuses of the THIRA: threat and hazard identification, impacts analyses that include the specific demographics of the community, and a description of existing response and recovery capabilities. The 2024 Los Angeles/Long Beach THIRA was reviewed as part of this hazard mitigation planning effort and all threats and hazards identified were included as part of this AHMP.

Additionally, the THIRA’s identification of several human-caused threats with potential to impact Los Angeles County influenced the decision to include such threats in this AHMP. Table 7-8 shows a crosswalk of the hazards and threats identified in the THIRA and their corresponding sections in this AHMP.

Additional criteria used to prioritize potential mitigation actions also included the following components:
• Actions that prioritize equity and integrate vulnerable populations, including people with AFN.
• Potential benefits of the action to prevent a major hazard. • Actions that have social support to build a culture and practice of resilience. • Cost of the action versus the potential benefit to prevent a major hazard. • Availability of funding and actions that support grant requirements. • Political support to remedy or prevent a major health or safety hazard. • Actions that are technically, legally, environmentally, and economically feasible. • Actions that the County has the administrative capabilities to implement. • Actions that are related to mitigating long-term vulnerabilities to Countyowned High Hazard Potential Dams will automatically be given a HIGH priority.

7.6.1 Priority Levels
• High-Priority Mitigation Actions: are essential and require immediate attention to address critical risks and safeguard life, property, or essential systems.

DRAFT
County of Los Angeles
All-Hazards Mitigation Plan

• Medium-Priority Mitigation Actions: are important but less urgent, supporting overall risk reduction and resilience goals while allowing for planned implementation.
• Low-Priority Mitigation Actions: address lower-risk concerns or long-term objectives and can be deferred without immediate impact to safety or core functions.

7.6.2 Changes in Criteria
The 2014 Los Angeles County AHMP’s Mitigation Action Matrix was prioritized using the Social, Technical, Administrative, Political, Legal, Environmental, and Economic (STAPLEE) method, which FEMA had recommended as a prioritization procedure in the early to mid-2000s. The 2020 AHMP replaced the use of STAPLEE with a more streamlined prioritization process that included the following:
• To remedy or prevent a major health/safety hazard, a mitigation project must have political support.
• To build a culture and practice of disaster resilience, a mitigation project must have social support.
• To meet FEMA HMA grant criteria, a mitigation project must be technically, legally, environmentally, and economically feasible and the jurisdiction must have the administrative capabilities to implement it.

This prioritization method used in the 2020 AHMP has been adapted and incorporated into the prioritization criteria described previously in Section 7.6.

7.7 Integration with Other Plans
The County of Los Angeles ensures that mitigation is a countywide effort with multiple departments contributing to critical activities that reduce hazard risks. These actions are captured in other discipline-specific plans in addition to the AHMP, including those listed in Table 7-9.

All-Hazards Mitigation Plan

8.1 Community Participation in Plan Maintenance
The Hazard Mitigation Plan will be reviewed regularly, acknowledging the dynamic nature of hazard landscapes and the evolving understanding of risks. Stakeholders’ engagement will be prioritized throughout the development and monitoring process, fostering transparency and accountability.

To maintain transparency and community involvement, the County has outlined several measures for continued public participation:
• Public Access to Hazard Mitigation Documents: A copy of the 2025 AHMP will be maintained on the Los Angeles County Hazard Mitigation Program website along with contact information. Los Angeles County OEM will notify the public of any changes or updates, including mitigation projects identified in the plan as they are implemented, via social media, and traditional local media channels. • Annual Public Engagement Opportunities: Los Angeles County OEM will endeavor to hold multiple in-person public engagement opportunities for hazard mitigation to keep the public informed of progress on hazard mitigation projects, obtain ongoing public feedback, and educate the public about the County’s hazard mitigation efforts.
• Online Portal: A Los Angeles County Hazard Mitigation Program website will be established to provide the public with more information on hazard mitigation and project updates. This portal will serve as a mechanism to obtain continuous public feedback as projects are implemented and offers access to mitigation resources.
• Standing Advisory Committee: The Hazard Mitigation Advisory Committee will be expanded to a standing status and will meet at least once per year or more often as determined necessary to support hazard mitigation projects. The standing Hazard Mitigation Advisory Committee will be comprised of representatives from diverse community groups to provide ongoing input and oversight of hazard mitigation efforts. The standing Hazard Mitigation Advisory Committee will also serve as an important forum for future updates of the AHMP.

These activities ensure that the community remains informed and actively engaged in the plan’s implementation and maintenance.

8.2 Monitoring, Evaluation, and Maintenance
To ensure the continued effectiveness of this All-Hazard Mitigation Plan (AHMP), effective monitoring and evaluation will be conducted throughout the plan implementation period. Regular assessments will monitor progress and evaluate the achievements of the intended outcomes. Performance metrics will be developed to quantify the impact of each mitigation action, allowing for data driven adjustments and refinements.

The plan will be reviewed annually to assess progress on mitigation actions. Annual review will include the following elements:
• Annual Review Worksheets: Every year, LA County OEM will email each member of the Hazard Mitigation Advisory Committee an Annual Review Worksheet to complete. As shown in Appendix E, the Annual Review Worksheet reflects the FEMA Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Review Tool and includes the following sections: planning process, hazard profile, risk assessment, and mitigation strategy. Each member of the Hazard Mitigation Advisory Committee will email completed worksheets back to LA County OEM to review. LA County OEM will summarize these findings and email them out to the committee.

Additionally, the findings from the review worksheets will be presented to the full Hazard Mitigation Advisory Committee at its next regular meeting. • Mitigation Progress Project Reports: Mitigation actions will be monitored and updated using the Mitigation Project Progress Report. During each annual review, each department or agency currently administering a mitigation project will submit a progress report to LA County OEM. For projects that are being funded by a FEMA mitigation grant, FEMA quarterly reports may be used as the preferred reporting tool. As shown in Appendix E, the progress report will discuss the current status of the mitigation project, including any changes made to the project, identify implementation problems, and describe appropriate strategies to overcome them.
• Post-Incident Mitigation Review: Following a major disaster event impacting Los Angeles County, a post-disaster review will be initiated by LA County OEM to evaluate the need to update the AHMP based on the circumstances of the disaster and incorporate any specific mitigation actions required due to the DRAFT
County of Los Angeles
All-Hazards Mitigation Plan

incident. If LA County OEM finds that an update to the AHMP is needed, the Hazard Mitigation Advisory Committee will be convened to begin drafting the update.

8.3 Criteria for Updating the Hazard Mitigation Plan
The All-Hazards Mitigation Plan (AHMP) is required to be updated every five years in compliance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) and FEMA guidance (44 CFR § 201.6). The update process is not merely an administrative requirement but a critical mechanism to evaluate the plan’s effectiveness in reducing risk and guiding mitigation strategies.

1. Review of Past Actions and Effectiveness
The update process begins with a thorough review of the mitigation actions outlined in the previous plan. This includes:
• Evaluating the implementation status of each action (completed, in progress, not started).
• Assessing the impact and effectiveness of completed actions in reducing hazard risk.
• Determining if the objectives are still relevant or require modification based on new data or circumstances.

2. Integration of New Data and Changing Conditions
• Hazard profiles and risk assessments are updated with new hazard event data, climate science, and changes in development or land use. • Demographic shifts and infrastructure changes are reviewed to reassess vulnerability.
• Technological advancements or improved modeling tools (e.g., Hazus, National Risk Index) are incorporated to refine risk analysis.

3. Community and Stakeholder Input
The update process must actively include community participation to maintain transparency and ensure the plan reflects local priorities. This includes:

DRAFT
County of Los Angeles
All-Hazards Mitigation Plan

• Public workshops and surveys.
• Targeted outreach to vulnerable populations including those with Access and Functional Needs (AFN).
• Feedback from County departments, cities, NGOs, and regional partners.

4. Performance Evaluation and Metrics
To ensure effectiveness, the plan maintenance strategy includes:
• Annual progress reports that monitor implementation progress and identify barriers.
• Metrics to evaluate the reduction of risk or exposure over time. • Documentation of lessons learned from real events and exercises to inform changes.

5. Revision of Goals, Objectives, and Actions
Based on the evaluation findings, the plan’s goals and mitigation actions are revised to improve alignment with current capabilities, risk levels, and funding opportunities.

Each updated action includes:
• Clear responsibilities.
• Realistic timelines.
• Evaluation metrics to measure future success.

8.4 Plan Update
The 2025 LHMP includes an updated methodology for future revisions, ensuring compliance with federal and state guidelines. A full plan update will occur every five years.
• 2030 AHMP Update Kickoff: LA County OEM will convene the Hazard Mitigation Advisory Committee for a meeting to review the worksheet findings and endeavor to begin the process of updating the AHMP in approximately November 2028. The planning process should begin a minimum of 18 months prior to the plan’s expiration. LA County OEM, in consultation with the Hazard Mitigation Advisory Committee, will develop a work plan for the update, conduct DRAFT

research and review relevant documentation, determine hazards to be included in the 2030 AHMP, and begin the process to draft an updated AHMP. • Plan Submission and Adoption: Once updated, the plan is submitted to Cal OES and FEMA for review. Upon conditional approval, it must be adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and participating jurisdictions to maintain eligibility for FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grants.

8.5 Integration with Other Plans
Los Angeles County is committed to ensuring that hazard mitigation planning is not a standalone effort, but a fully integrated component of broader County planning initiatives. By strategically weaving the goals, objectives, and actions of the All-Hazards Mitigation Plan (AHMP) into a variety of local and regional plans such as the General Plan, Capital Improvement Plans, Climate Action and Adaptation Plans, and departmental strategic plans; the County promotes a more cohesive and effective approach to building long-term resilience. This integration is achieved through ongoing collaboration with County departments, cities, and regional agencies to align land use, infrastructure development, and emergency preparedness efforts with identified hazard risks. Embedding hazard mitigation principles into existing policies and planning mechanisms ensures that they become an inherent part of decisionmaking processes, project funding prioritization, and long-term investment strategies ultimately reducing vulnerabilities and enhancing the resilience of communities across Los Angeles County.

The Los Angeles County AHMP will be shared across all jurisdictions within the operational area. Those jurisdictions will have the opportunity to incorporate the 2025 AHMP into their established planning process. The Hazard Mitigation Advisory Committee will assess the plan at a yearly basis, acknowledging the dynamic nature of hazard landscapes and the evolving understanding of risks. The OEM Hazard Mitigation Program will make the AHMP available for all county departments to incorporate into departmental planning efforts, and other relevant documents produced by Los Angeles County departments.

9.1 Plan Adoption Overview
Plan Adoption addressed Element F of the Local Mitigation Plan Regulation Checklist under single jurisdiction plan requirement.

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors officially adopted the 2025 All Hazard Mitigation Plan (AHMP) through a formal resolution on September 9, 2025. A scanned copy of the resolution is included in Appendix F. The Los Angeles County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) will retain the resolution for its records, while copies will be submitted to both Cal OES and FEMA.

This Plan adoption completes the mitigation planning process and department agencies, stakeholders, and community’s commitment to the goals and actions. It also recognizes the current planning process and acknowledges changes from the past five years and validates the priorities for hazard mitigation actions. It makes the community eligible for certain FEMA assistance that can fund some mitigation actions.

After being adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, the 2025 AHMP transitions into the implementation phase. The success of the plan hinges on the integrating its mitigation strategies and actions into the local plans and policies. The mitigation action items collectively establish a robust framework to guide the County’s hazard mitigation strategies over the next five years. To ensure these strategies are effective, actionable and well aligned with the county’s long term resilience goals, the Planning Advisory Committee has set clear objectives. Their prioritized approach focuses on seamlessly blending mitigation actions with current policies, plans, and emphasizing collaboration and coherence throughout.

Welcome to the Central Basin Municipal Water District’s (“CBMWD” or “District”) Five-Year Strategic Plan. This document is a blueprint for how CBMWD will respond to current challenges and make the best of future opportunities for the benefit of its customers. It confirms its mission and goals as a public agency dedicated to providing high quality water service to the nearly two million residents in CBMWD's service area. It establishes approaches for the preservation of our precious resources for future generations utilizing the principles of sustainability and prudent fiscal practices. It also outlines the specific goals, strategies, and objectives we will pursue to move us from where we are to where we want to be and establishes a process to measure our progress.

The Strategic Plan for Central Basin Municipal Water District represents a collaborative effort that recognizes the significant water supply challenges facing the communities in our service area and the need to improve our region’s water reliability as well as support local water resource development.

The Central Basin Municipal Water District will bring value to the region through developing trust-based relationships with its member agencies (customers) who rely on CBMWD as a strategic partner to support local water resource development as well as provide an imported water supply to our service area.

The implementation of the Strategic Plan will require strong collaboration with our communities, fellow water utilities, and State and Federal regulatory agencies. The Strategic Plan will be reviewed with the Board and member agencies (purveyors) and adapted as conditions change.

The District’s Board of Directors and staff are charting a course for continued success in the future through the development and execution of this Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan defines the vision, mission, values, goals, and future business strategy for CBMWD.

Our commitments to the communities we serve fall into four areas: water supply, financial integrity, education & advocacy, and energy & technology. These commitments are established as the four goals of the Strategic Plan.

Our Board actions will consistently support these commitments and staff will track the progress against this plan.

We the Central Basin Municipal Water District Board, are confident the Strategic Plan will help us achieve the expectations of those we serve in the months and years to come.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, this strategic plan is presented for publication:

Central Basin Municipal Water District Strategic Plan
5 Introduction
CBMWD is a public agency that was formed by the California Legislature in 1952 for the purpose of providing an adequate supply of water within its service area. CBMWD purchases imported water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), an agency which provides the region with imported water. CBMWD wholesales the imported water to cities, mutual water companies, investor- owned utilities and private companies in southeast Los Angeles County. CBMWD also supplies water used for groundwater replenishment and provides the region with recycled water for municipal commercial, and industrial use. The District serves 24 cities with an overall population of 1.7 million.

CBMWD was established to help mitigate the over-pumping of underground water resources in southeast Los Angeles County. CBMWD founders realized they would have to curtail the use of relatively inexpensive yet diminishing local groundwater by providing the region with imported water. In 1954, CBMWD became a member agency of MWD. The CBMWD Directors appoint two representatives to the 37-member MWD Board of Directors; CBMWD is one of the largest member agencies of MWD. Today, in addition to imported water, CBMWD provides recycled water for irrigation, commercial applications, and industrial processes.

FOCUS AREAS: Goals
Based upon the Mission, Vision, Values, Previous Five Year Accomplishments and the Current State Analysis, the Central Basin Municipal Water District should determine and define focus areas that will assist the Central Basin Municipal Water District in achieving its goals.

Below are the four focus areas including Central Basin Municipal Water District’s one-year, three-year and fiveyear goals for each focus area.

1. Water Supply: CBMWD will partner with retailers and wholesalers to provide a level of regional water reliability that ensures customers'/member agencies’ (purveyors’) water needs are met:

1.1 One-year Goal: Increase recycled water sales by 20%.

1.2 Three-year Goal: Connect (2) customers to imported water supply. Increase recycled water sales by 30%.

1.3 Five-year Goal: Connect (4) customers to imported water supply. Increase recycled water sales by 40%.

2. Financial Integrity: CBMWD will manage its financial resources in a responsible, effective, and transparent fashion:

4.3 Five-year Goal: Implement technology and energy solutions that results in a reduction of operational costs, recovery of non-revenue water and/or improvement of revenues by 30%. Be a net-zero energy utility.

Business Value Decision Making
Determining which activities to focus on first is one of the greatest challenges of implementing a strategic plan. A process to prioritize the activities needs to be undertaken in order to focus the Central Basin Municipal Water District’s resources in implementing its strategic plan and leading to successful outcomes. The key benefits and costs of each activity should be outlined as much as possible. Figure 4 below outlines this process.

Figure 4 – Activity Prioritization Process
The above analysis can be organized into tables shown in Figure 5 on the following page.

This prioritization of activities will be reflected in the multiyear financial plan as well as the annual budget, which are described in more detail in separate documents.

Determination of Key Performance Indicators & Budget Development Based on the goal, each activity should have specific key performance indicators that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely (S.M.A.R.T.) making the vision more concrete by defining how success is measured. Performance indicators are used to monitor progress towards strategic priorities, closing the gap between the current state and the desired state, as defined by the vision. They will help track the realization of strategic priorities, measuring the progress towards realizing the vision. Performance indicators should focus on desired outcomes for strategic priorities.

When determining key performance indicators, the following principles should be kept in mind:

Link to the Central Basin Municipal Water District’s goals; Limit to the select few that measure success;
Guide desired decisions and behaviors;
Can be easily understood and measured; and
Are relevant to all Central Basin Municipal Water District’s stakeholders.

Once the Central Basin Municipal Water District has defined its key performance indicators, targets can be set, which are the value of a key performance indicator at a specific moment in time. Targets can be set on a yearly basis or by the end of the five year plan and focus on outcomes or actions.

In order to keep track of the progress towards achieving the strategic plan and the Central Basin Municipal Water District’s vision, a process to monitor and measure performance must be put in place. An owner should be identified for each process and the frequency of reporting should be specified and should aim to be at least annually, if not quarterly.

DRAFT
Central Basin Municipal Water District Strategic Plan
11 It is possible that certain activities may need to be revisited and recalibrated due to changes in the internal and external environment and reprioritized depending on the results attained each year.

Budget Development
In order to gain the full benefit of the strategic plan, it must be implemented in a way that helps to guide all actions of the staff and Board; furthermore, it must remain an integrated part of the annual budget planning process and supported by data-driven strategic decision making.

The Annual Budget Planning Document will ensure the annual budget development process is aligned to the strategic plan and focus area goals.

2024 Consumer Confidence Report
DRAFT
DRAFT
Since 1991, California water utilities have been providing information on water served to its consumers. This report, prepared in April 2025, is a snapshot of the tap water quality that we provided last year. Included are details about where your water comes from, how it is tested, what is in it, and how it compares with state and federal limits. We strive to keep you informed about the quality of your water, and to provide a reliable and economic supply that meets all regulatory requirements.

WHERE DOES MY TAP WATER COME FROM?
HOW DO I READ THE WATER QUALITY TABLE?
WHAT ARE DRINKING WATER STANDARDS?
Your tap water
comes from 2
sources:
groundwater and
surface water. We
pump groundwater
from local, deep
wells. We also use
Metropolitan Water
District of Southern
California’s (MWD)
surface water from
both the Colorado
River and the State Water Project in northern
California. These water sources supply our service area shown on the adjacent map. The quality of our
groundwater and MWD’s surface water supplies is
presented in this report.

Although we test for over 100 substances, regulations
require us to report only those found in your water. The first column of the water quality table lists substances detected in your water. The next columns list the
average concentration and range of concentrations
found in your drinking water. Following are columns
that list the MCL and PHG or MCLG, if appropriate. The
last column describes the likely sources of these
substances in drinking water.

To review the quality of your drinking water, compare
the highest concentration and the MCL. Check for
substances greater than the MCL. Exceedance of a
primary MCL does not usually constitute an immediate
health threat. Rather, it requires testing the source
water more frequently for a short duration.

If test results show that the water continues to exceed the MCL, the water must be treated to remove the
substance, or the source must be removed from
service.

HOW IS MY DRINKING WATER TESTED?
Your drinking water is tested regularly for unsafe levels of chemicals, radioactivity and bacteria at the source
and in the distribution system. We test weekly,
monthly, quarterly, annually or less often depending
on the substance. State and federal laws allow us to
test some substances less than once per year because
their levels do not change frequently. All water quality tests are conducted by specially trained technicians in state-certified laboratories.

The U.S Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)
limits the amount of certain substances allowed in tap
water. In California, the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) regulates tap water quality
by enforcing limits that are at least as stringent as the Federal EPA’s (USEPA). Historically, California limits are more stringent than the Federal ones.

There are two types of these limits, known as
standards. Primary standards protect you from
substances that could potentially affect your health.

Secondary standards regulate substances that affect
the aesthetic qualities of water. Regulations set a
Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for each of the
primary and secondary standards. The MCL is the
highest level of a substance that is allowed in your
drinking water.

Public Health Goals (PHGs) are set by the California
Environmental Protection Agency. PHGs provide more
information on the quality of drinking water to
customers, and are similar to
their federal counterparts,
Maximum Contaminant Level
Goals (MCLGs). PHGs and
MCLGs are advisory levels that
are non-enforceable. Both
PHGs and MCLGs are
concentrations of a substance
below which there are no known
or expected health risks.

DRAFT

WHY DO I SEE SO MUCH COVERAGE IN THE
NEWS ABOUT THE QUALITY OF TAP WATER?
SHOULD I TAKE ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS?
Contaminants that may be present in source water
include:

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and
bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds,
reservoirs, springs and wells.

As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals
and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick
up substances resulting from the presence of animals
or from human activity.

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some
contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not
necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health
effects can be obtained by calling the USEPA’s Safe
Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). You can also get more information on tap water by logging on to these
helpful web sites:

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants
in drinking water than the general population.

Immunocompromised persons such as persons with
cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have
undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or
other immune system disorders, some elderly, and
infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from
their health care providers. The USEPA/Centers for
Disease Control guidelines on appropriate means to
lessen the risk of infection of Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the USEPA’s
Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791).

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problem, especially for pregnant women and young
children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from
materials and components associated with services lines and home plumbing. The City of Paramount is
responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for
several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead
exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2
minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If
you are concerned about lead in your water, you may
wish to have your water
tested. Information on lead in
drinking water, testing
methods, and steps you can
take to minimize exposure is
available from the Safe
Drinking Water Hotline or at
www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

In order to ensure that tap water
is safe to drink, the USEPA and
the State Water Resources
Control Board (State Water
Board) prescribe regulations
that limit the amount of certain
contaminants in water provided
by public water systems. U.S.

Food and Drug Administration
regulations and California law
also establish limits for
contaminants in bottled water
that provide the same
protection for public health.
• Microbial contaminants, including viruses and
bacteria, that may come from sewage treatment
plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.
• Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals,
that can be naturally-occurring or result from urban
stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater
discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming.
• Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a
variety of sources such as agriculture, urban
stormwater runoff, and residential uses.
• Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic
and volatile organic chemicals, that are byproducts of
industrial processes and petroleum production, and
can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater
runoff, agricultural application, and septic systems.
• Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally
occurring or be the result of oil and gas production
and mining activities.

SOURCE WATER ASSESSMENT

HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE IN DECISIONS ON
WATER ISSUES THAT AFFECT ME?

HOW DO I CONTACT MY WATER AGENCY IF I

HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT WATER
QUALITY?
MWD completed an assessment of its Colorado River
and State Water Project supplies in 2002. Colorado
River supplies are considered most vulnerable to
recreation, urban/storm water runoff, increasing
urbanization in the watershed, and wastewater. State
Water Project supplies are considered most vulnerable
to urban/storm water runoff, wildlife, agriculture,
recreation and wastewater. A copy of the assessment
can be obtained by contacting MWD at (213) 217-6850.

The City of Paramount conducted an assessment of its
groundwater supplies in 2003. Groundwater supplies
are considered most vulnerable to chemical/petroleum
processing/storage, metal plating/finishing/fabricating, dry cleaners, automobile gas stations, automobile body
shops, automobile repair shops, junk/scrap/salvage
yards, and plastics/synthetics producers.

A copy of the Source Water Assessment is available by
contacting the Paramount Public Works Department
at (562) 220-2020.

The public is welcome to attend Public Works
Commission meetings located at Paramount City Hall,
16400 Colorado Avenue, Paramount, CA 90723.

Meetings are held on the 1st Thursday of each month
at 6:00 p.m.

If you have specific questions about your tap water
quality, please contact Adriana Figueroa, Director of
Public Works at (562) 220-2020.

SOME HELPFUL WATER CONSERVATION TIPS
• Fix leaky faucets in
your home – save up to
20 gallons every day for
every leak stopped
• Save between 15 and
50 gallons each time by
only washing full loads
of laundry
• Adjust your sprinklers
so that water lands on
your lawn/garden, not
the sidewalk/driveway – save 500 gallons per month
• Use organic mulch around plants to reduce
evaporation – save hundreds of gallons a year
• Use a water-efficient showerhead. They are
inexpensive, easy to install, and can save you up to 750 gallons a month.

Results are from the most recent testing
performed in accordance with state and
federal drinking water regulations. The State
allows monitoring for some contaminants less
than once per year because the
concentrations of these contaminants do not
change frequently. Some of the data, though
representative, are more than one year old.

Los resultados provienen de las pruebas más
recientes realizadas de acuerdo con las
regulaciones estatales y federales sobre agua
potable. El Estado permite el monitoreo de
algunos contaminantes menos de una vez al
año porque las concentraciones de estos
contaminantes no cambian con frecuencia.

Algunos de los datos, aunque representativos,
tienen más de un año.

Desde 1991, las agencias proveedoras de recursos hidráulicos de California han emitido información sobre el agua que se provee al consumidor. Este informe, elaborado en abril de 2025, es una instantánea de la calidad del agua del grifo que proporcionamos el año pasado. Incluímos detalles sobre el origen del agua que toma, cómo se analiza, que contiene, y cómo se compara con los límites estatales y federales. Nos esforzamos por mantenerle informado sobre la calidad de su agua, y proveerle un abastecimiento confiable y económico que cumpla con todos los requisitios.
¿DE DÓNDE PROVIENE EL AQUA QUE TOMO?
¿CUALES SON LOS ESTÁNDARES DEL AGUA
POTABLE?
Su agua de la llave
proviene de 2
fuentes: de las
aguas naturales
(subterránea) y de
aguas superficiales
(de los ríos).

Bombeamos aguas
naturales de
profundos pozos
locales. También
usamos agua
superficial de la
agencia Metropolitan Water District del Sur de
California (MWD) importada del Río Colorado y del
proyecto State Water Project del Norte de California.

Estas dos fuentes de agua nos abastecen en las áreas
de servicio que se muestran en el mapa adjunto. Este
reporte informa sobre la calidad de nuestra agua
subterranea y el abastecimiento del agua superficial
del MWD. ¿CÓMO SE ANALIZA MI AGUA POTABLE?
El agua que toma se analiza regularmente para
asegurarnos de que no halla niveles altos de
sustancias químicas, de radioactividad o de bacteria
en el sistema de distribución y en las tomas de
servicios. Estos análisis se
llevan a cabo semanal,
mensual, trimestral, y
anualmente o con más
frecuencia, dependiendo de la
sustancia analizada. Bajo las
leyes estatales y federales, se
nos permite analizar algunas
sustancias menos
frecuentemente que los
periodos anuales porque los
resultados no cambian.

La Agencia de Protección Ambiental estadounidense
(USEPA) limita la cantidad de ciertas sustancias
permitidas en el agua del grifo. En California, la Junta de Control de Recursos Hídricos del Estado (State
Water Board) regula la calidad del agua de beber
siguiendo normas que sean al menos tan estrictas
como las normas federales. Históricamente, los límites
de California son más rigurosos que los Federales.

Hay dos tipos de límites conocidos como estándares.

Los estándares primarios lo protegen de sustancias
que potencialmente podrían afectar su salud. Las
normas establecen los Niveles Contaminantes
Máximos (MCL, en inglés) que se permite del
contaminante primario o secundario en el agua de
beber. Los abastecedores de agua deben asegurarse
de que la calidad de esta cumpla con los Niveles
Contaminantes Máximos (o MCLs, en inglés). No todas
las sustancias tienen un Nivel Contaminante Máximo.

El plomo y el cobre, por ejemplo, son regulados, por
cierto nivel de acción. Si cualquier sustancia química
sobrepasa el nivel de acción, se dará la necesidad de
un proceso de tratamiento para rebajar los niveles en
el agua de beber. Los abastecedores de agua deben
cumplir con los Niveles Contaminantes Máximos para
asegurar la calidad del agua.

Las Metas para la Salud Pública ( MSP [o PHGs, en
inglés]) son establecidas por la agencia estatal de
California-EPA. Las PHGs proveen más información
con respecto a la calidad del agua, y son similares a los reglamentos federales nombrados Metas para Los
Niveles de Contaminante Maximos (MNCM [o MCLGs,
en inglés]). Las PHGs y MCLGs son metas a nivel
recomendable. Las PHG y MCLG son ambas definidas
como los niveles de contaminantes en el agua potable
por debajo de los niveles donde no se esperan riesgos
a la salud y no enforzables. Ambos niveles PHG y
MCLG son concentraciones de una sustancia en las
que no hay riesgos a la salud aún conocidos.

Desde 1991, las agencias proveedoras de recursos hidráulicos de California han emitido información sobre el agua que se provee al consumidor. Este informe, elaborado en abril de 2025, es una instantánea de la calidad del agua del grifo que proporcionamos el año pasado. Incluímos detalles sobre el origen del agua que toma, cómo se analiza, que contiene, y cómo se compara con los límites estatales y federales. Nos esforzamos por mantenerle informado sobre la calidad de su agua, y proveerle un abastecimiento confiable y económico que cumpla con todos los requisitios.

¿CÓMO INTERPRETO MI INFORME DE CALIDAD
DEL AGUA?
Aunque analizamos más de 100 sustancias, las normas
nos requireren que reportemos solo aquellas que se
encuentran en el agua. La primer columna en la tabla
de la calidad de agua muestra la lista de las sustancias detectadas en el agua. La siguiente columna muestra
la lista de la concentracion promedio y el rango de
concentraciones que se hallan encontrado en el agua
que usted toma. En seguida están las listas de el MCL,
el PHG y el MCLG, si estos son apropiados. La última
columna describe las probables fuentes u origen de las
sustancias detectadas en el agua potable.

Para revisar la calidad de su agua de beber, compare
los valores por encima del promedio, mínimos y
máximos y el Nivel Contaminante Máximo. Revise
todos los químicos que se encuentran por encima del
Nivel Contaminante Máximo. Si los químicos
sobrepasan el Nivel Contaminante Máximo no significa
que sea detrimental a la salud de inmediato. Más bien,
se requiere que se realizen análisis más
frecuentemente en el abastecimiento del agua por un
corto período. Si los resultados muestran sobrepasar el MCL, el agua debe ser tratada para remover esa
sustancia, o el abastecimiento de esta debe
decomisionarse.
¿POR QUÉ HAY TANTA PUBLICIDAD SOBRE LA
CALIDAD DEL AGUA POTABLE?
Entre los contaminantes que puenden existir en las
fuentes de agua se incluyen:

Las fuentes del agua potable (de ambas agua de la
llave y agua embotellada) incluye ríos, lagos, arroyos, lagunas, embalses, manantiales, y pozos. Al pasar el
agua por la superficie de los suelos o por la tierra, se disuelven minerales que ocurren al natural, y en
algunas ocasiones, material radioactivo, al igual que
pueden levantar sustancias generadas por la presencia
de animales o por actividades humanas.

Toda el agua potable, incluyendo el agua embotellada,
puede contener cantidades pequeñas de ciertos
contaminantes. La presencia de contaminantes no
necesariamente indica que haya algún riesgo de
salud. Para más información acerca de
contaminantes y riesgos a la salud favor de llamar a la USEPA encargada de proteger el agua potable al
teléfono (1-800-426-4791). Usted puede obtener más
información sobre el agua potable al conectarse al
Internet en los siguientes domicilios:

A fin de asegurar que el agua de
la llave es segura para beber, la
Agencia de Protección
Ambiental de Los Estados
Unidos (USEPA) y el Tablero de
Control de Recursos de Echar
agua Estatal (Bordo Estatal)
prescriben regulaciones que
limitan la cantidad de ciertos
contaminantes en el agua
proporcionada por sistemas de
agua públicas. Las regulaciones
de la Administración de
Alimentos y Medicamentos de
Estados Unidos y la ley de
California también establecen límites para los
contaminantes en el agua embotellada que brindan
la misma protección para la salud pública.
• Contaminantes microbiales como los viruses y la
bacteria, los que pueden venir de las plantas de
tratamiento de aguas negras, de los sistemas sépticos,
de las operaciones de ganadería, y de la vida salvaje.
• Contaminantes inorgánicos, como las sales y los
metales, los cuales pueden ocurrir naturalmente o
como resultado del desagüe pluvial, industrial, o de
alcantarillado, producción de gas natural y petróleo,
minas y agricultura.

• Pesticidas y herbicidas, los cuales pueden venir de
varias fuentes tales como la agricultura, del desagüe
pluvial, y de usos residenciales.
• Contaminantes de otras sustancias químicas
orgánicas, incluyendo químicos orgánicos volátiles y
sintéticos que son productos de procesos industriales
y de la producción de petróleo, y que pueden provenir
de las estaciones de gasolina, desagües pluviales
urbanos, y agricultura applicación y de sistemas
sépticos.
• Contaminantes radioactivos, los cuales puenden
ocurrir naturalmente o que puenden ser resultados de
las actividades de la producción de gas natural y
minería.

¿DEBERÍA TOMAR OTRAS PRECAUCIONES?
VALORACIÓN DE SU ABASTECIMIENTO DE
AGUA
Algunas personas pueden ser más vulnerables a los
contaminantes en el agua potable que el público en
general. Las personas que tienen problemas
imunológicos, o sea esas personas que estén en
tratamiento por medio de quimoterapia cancerosa;
personas que tienen órganos transplantados, o
personas con SIDA o desordenes imunológicos,
personas de edad avanzada, y los bebés que son
particularmente suseptibles a ciertas infecciones. Estas personas deben de consultar a sus proveedores de
salud médica. Las guias de la USEPA/Centros de
Control de Enfermedades aconsejan cómo disminuir
los riesgos para prevenir la infección de
Cryptosporidium y otros contaminantes microbiales

MWD terminó un gravamen de sus fuentes del
proyecto del agua del río y del estado de Colorado en
2002. Las fuentes del río de Colorado se consideran las más vulnerables a la reconstrucción, salida urbana/de
la precipitación excesiva, aumentando la urbanización
en la línea divisoria de las aguas, y las aguas residuales.

Las fuentes del proyecto del agua del estado se
consideran las más vulnerables a salida, a fauna, a
agricultura, a reconstrucción y a las aguas residuales
urbanas/de la precipitación excesiva. Una copia del
gravamen se puede obtener por MWD que entra en
contacto con en (213) 217-6850.

La ciudad de Paramount condujo un gravamen de sus
fuentes de la agua subterránea en 2003. Grlas fuentes
del oundwater se consideran las más vulnerables al
proceso/almacenaje, galjanoplastia de metal/el acabar/
el fabricar, tintoreros, gasolineras del automóvil, tiendas de cuerpo del automóvil, talleres de reparaciones del
automóvil, yardas de la chatarra/del desecho/del

Si presente, los niveles elevados del plomo pueden
causar el problema de salud serio, sobre todo para
mujeres embarazadas y chiquitos. El plomo en el agua
potable es principalmente de materiales y
componentes asociados con líneas de servicios y a
casafontanería. Cuidad de Paramount es responsable
de proporcionar el agua potable de alta calidad, pero
no puede controlar la variedad de materiales usados en
la fontanería de componentes. Cuando su agua ha
estado sentándose durante varias horas, usted puede
minimizar el potencial para la exposición de plomo
limpiando con agua su
grifo durante 30 segundos
a 2 minutos antes de usar
el agua para beber o
cocinarse. Si usted está
preocupado por el plomo
en su agua, usted puede
desear hacer probar su
agua. La información en el
plomo en el agua potable, probando métodos, y pasos

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT ESTABLISHING A WATER

CONSERVATION AND WATER SUPPLY SHORTAGE PROGRAM AND REGULATIONS Section I: Title
This ordinance will be known at the City of Paramount Water Conservation Program.

Section II: Findings
WHEREAS, a reliable minimum supply of potable water is essential to the public health, safety and welfare of the people and economy of the southern California region; WHEREAS, Southern California is a semi-arid region and is largely dependent upon imported water supplies. A growing population, climate change, environmental concerns and other factors in other parts of the State and western United States, make the region highly susceptible to water supply reliability issues;
WHEREAS, careful water management that includes active water conservation measures not only in times of drought, but at all times, is essential to ensure reliable minimum supply of water to meet current and future water supply needs;
WHEREAS, Article X, Section 2 of the California Constitution declares that the general welfare requires that water resources be put to beneficial use, waste or unreasonable use or unreasonable method of use of water be prevented, and conservation of water be fully exercised with a view to the reasonable and beneficial use thereof; WHEREAS, California Water Code Section 375 et seq. requires water suppliers to adopt and enforce a comprehensive water conservation program to reduce water consumption and conserve supplies;
WHEREAS, California Water Code section 350 et seq. authorizes any public entity, including a special district, to declare a water shortage emergency and, upon declaration of that emergency, adopt regulations and restrictions on the delivery and consumption of water in order to conserve water resources during the period of the emergency and until the supply of water available for distribution by the suppliers has been replenished or augmented; WHEREAS, the adoption and enforcement of water conservation and supply shortage program is necessary to manage the City’s potable water supply in the short- and long-term and to avoid or minimize the impacts of drought and shortage within the City. Such a program is essential to ensure a reliable and sustainable minimum supply of water for the public health, safety and welfare; and
WHEREAS, based upon the above findings, the City’s legal counsel advises, and the Board finds, that actions taken pursuant to this ordinance are categorically exempt from CEQA according to 14 California Code of Regulations 15301 and 15307.

To: Honorable City Council
From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Yecenia Guillen, Community Services
Director
Date: June 23, 2026
SUBJECT: AGREEMENT WITH MUSEUM PROS FOR THE DESIGN OF HISTORICAL

DISPLAYS FOR THE PARAMOUNT SAW MUSEUM

BACKGROUND
As part of the Downtown Revitalization Project, the City researched ways to rehabilitate and preserve the Paramount Saw Property for a Historical Museum, Community Meeting Room, and a commercial restaurant space to support and create a vibrant community gathering space. Consistent with this vision, the City entered into an agreement with Paramount City Investors, LLC Development Group (Paramount City Investors), for the development of the Paramount Saw Property. As part of the City’s contribution to development of the Paramount Saw building, the City was allocated 3,000 square feet of space for the inclusion of a Paramount history museum and community meeting space.

As part of the project, the City Council authorized an agreement with Hamilton Architects, Inc. (Hamilton), to provide architectural design services for the Paramount History Museum and associated community meeting space. The museum component is planned as an integrated historical feature within the larger food hall development and will include approximately 1,500 square feet of open exhibit space highlighting Paramount’s history, artifacts, archival materials, signature exhibits, and an original early-model Zamboni ice resurfacing machine.

DISCUSSION
City staff, Hamilton Architects Inc. (Hamilton), and Paramount City Investors, LLC Development Group (Paramount City Investors) have been working together to design the elements and the construction plans for spaces that will be located within the Paramount Saw Building. As the project has progressed, it became necessary to obtain the services of a specialized historical consultant to identify the historical exhibits and artifacts best suited for inside the museum space. Staff retained services through Pat West Consulting and began working closely with their consultants to identify the potential artifacts that may be displayed that are currently in the City’s possession.

Additionally, as the design phase has continued, staff and the consultant also determined the need to begin the exhibit development phase, which is focused on the conceptual layout and display systems that will define the visitor experience within the museum Agenda Report June 23, 2026
AGREEMENT WITH MUSEUM PROS Page 2
space. This phase builds upon historical narratives, initial spatial concepts, and is now centered on determining the most appropriate exhibit structures and display strategies for the space.

As part of the exhibit development phase, the consultants and City staff visited other similar museum spaces in the nearby area, in particular, the Rancho Los Cerritos Gallery in the City of Long Beach to gain insight on potential design elements for the historical displays that will be located inside the museum. Given the unique nature of this project, it was determined that there is a need to work with a specialized vendor that has experience in designing museum exhibition displays. Staff contacted Museum Pros after visiting the Rancho Los Cerritos Gallery to solicit a quote for their services to design the exhibit displays.

Museum Pros has developed a design concept for City consideration. The main elements in the design include large metal frames that create and support a variety of interpretive content, Zamboni railing with heavy bases, dimensional back wall with multiple 3D features. This concept also includes builds that are specific to the City’s unique museum space that maintain interpretive quality and durability. Key design considerations include:
• Strong visual impact
• Fully custom display cubes and vitrines
• Memorable visitor experience
• High engagement for young audiences
• Professional artifact presentation
• Adaptable for future growth
• Rich narrative potential
• Custom-designed scaffold-style exhibit frameworks and display systems • Integration of artifact displays, archival materials, and interpretive panels • Flexible gallery layouts responsive to narrative and artifact quantity • Coordination with City operational needs, including installation responsibilities Given the custom designs involved in this project and the unique scope, staff found that Museum Pros is the only specialized vendor that can complete this type of work. Staff requested refined design concepts to align with project scope, including complete design, fabrication, signage components, and phasing opportunities for future enhancements.

The consultant has also evaluated alternative materials and off-the-shelf solutions; however, fully custom fabrication remains the preferred approach for long-term durability and exhibit quality. Museum Pros will also work closely with the City to coordinate and assist with the installation of the custom displays, which will be completed by City Public Works personnel.

The cost of the exhibit displays design services from Museum Pros is $81,000, excluding a ten percent (10%) contingency for potential change orders. Total project costs, including the ten percent (10%) contingency, amount to $89,100. The City’s Municipal Code Section 3.12.080 exempts professional/technical services from bidding requirements.

However, since the projected cost for the design services is over $40,000, City Council Agenda Report June 23, 2026
AGREEMENT WITH MUSEUM PROS Page 3
approval is required for the agreement. Also, with respect to City’s Municipal Code Section 3.12.070, exemptions to bidding may be acceptable at the City’s Council’s discretion, should the goods or services be deemed highly unique and only obtainable through a sole source vendor. Given the custom work involved in this project and the unique scope, staff found that Museum Pros is the most qualified and specialized vendor to complete this type of work. Staff recommend that the City Council approve an agreement with Museum Pros for the design services of the historical exhibit displays.

FISCAL IMPACT
Budget adjustment request of $89,100 in the Art Fund is needed. Funds were not included in the FY 2026-27 Art Fund budget for this expenditure. Based on the scope, this project is an allowable expenditure under the Art Fund. The total projected cost includes a ten percent (10%) contingency for contract change orders that may arise during the design 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 2: Community Health - Provide diverse recreational and cultural amenities that support healthy lifestyles and a sense of community. 5: Attractive and Well-Maintained Infrastructure - Develop and maintain City-owned infrastructure, parks, facilities, and amenities that enhance quality of life and the attractiveness of the community.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
1) Approve a budget adjustment of $89,100 in the Art Fund for this expense; and 2) Approve an agreement with Museum Pros, in an amount not to exceed $89,100 for the design of the exhibit displays for the Paramount Saw Museum project and authorize the Mayor or her designee to execute the agreement.

c. The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

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. (i) Copies of the prevailing wage rates may be obtained at cost at the City Clerk's office. Consultant shall post a copy of such wage rates at the job site and shall pay the adopted prevailing wage rates as a minimum. Consultant shall comply with the provisions of Sections 1775, 1776, 1777.5, 1777.6, and 1813 of the Labor Code. Pursuant to the provisions of 1775 of the Labor Code, Consultant shall forfeit to the City, as a penalty, not more than $200.00 for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each laborer, worker, or mechanic employed, paid less than the stipulated prevailing rates for any work done under this Agreement, by them or by any subcontractor under them, in violation of the provisions of this Agreement. (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. It shall be mandatory upon the Consultant and all subcontractors to comply with all California Labor Code provisions, which include but are not limited to prevailing wages (Labor Code Sections 1771, 1774 and 1775), employment of apprentices (Labor Code Section 1777.5), certified payroll records (Labor Code Sections 1771.4 and 1776), hours of labor (Labor Code Sections 1813 and 1815) and debarment of contractors and subcontractors (Labor Code Section 1777.1). The requirement to submit certified payroll records directly to the Labor Commissioner under Labor Code Section 1771.4 shall not apply to Paramount PSA_Prof Liability (January 2025) 7
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. It shall be Consultant’s sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements. Any stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Consultant or any 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. As between the Consultant and the City, any and all City Data is solely owned by City.

Consultant is granted a limited, non-exclusive, and revocable license to use City Data solely as necessary to perform the Services. At no time shall Consultant use City Data for its own purposes, or sell, disclose or disseminate City Data, except as required by law or to provide the Services. At all times herein, Consultant shall protect and maintain the security of City Data using methods providing not less than the level of security Consultant uses for its own confidential data, and that otherwise comply with recognized industry data security standards applicable to similar kinds of governmental data and information.
b. To the extent any City Data consists of personal information as defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act (Civil Code Section 1798.100, et seq.), Consultant shall comply with that statute and with Civil Code Section 1798.80. et seq., including providing the required notifications in the event of any unauthorized access or disclosure of personal information stored, maintained, accessed, used or transmitted by Consultant in connection with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Consultant shall within 24 hours notify the City Representative by telephone and in writing of any unauthorized access of City Data. Thereafter, Consultant shall render Paramount PSA_Prof Liability (January 2025) 8
any assistance to City and law enforcement as necessary to ascertain the nature and extent of such unauthorized access.
c. Consultant shall not store City Data using cloud-based storage without City’s prior, written consent, unless the use of such storage is clearly described in the Scope of Services. Where permitted herein, any and all cloud-based storage shall be on servers and other hardware located within the continental United States, and shall be in compliance with ISO/IEC 27001 - 27018, as applicable, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the City Representative. Cloud storage using Amazon Web Service or Microsoft Azure shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this subsection (c).

16. Confidential Information
Consultant understands and agrees that, in the performance of the Services under this Agreement or in contemplation thereof, Consultant may have access to private or confidential information which may be owned or controlled by the City and that, if disclosed to third parties, could be damaging to the City. Consultant agrees that all City information and data provided to or made accessible to Consultant by City shall be held in confidence and disclosed only as needed in performance of this Agreement, or as required by law.

18. Termination.

In such event, City shall be immediately given title to and possession of all Work Product, including all related intellectual property rights, and original field notes, drawings and specifications, written reports and all other documents produced or developed pursuant to this Agreement. Provided Consultant is not then in breach, City shall pay Consultant the reasonable value of services rendered for any portion of the Services completed prior to termination. If said termination occurs prior to completion of any specific task for which a payment request has not been received, the charge for Services performed shall be the reasonable value of such Services, based on an amount agreed to by City and Consultant. City shall not be liable for any costs other than the charges or portions thereof which are specified herein.

Consultant shall not be entitled to payment for unperformed services or services within the Scope Services performed prior to the effective date of this Agreement, and shall Paramount PSA_Prof Liability (January 2025) 9
not be entitled to damages or compensation resulting from such termination of the Services.
b. Consultant may terminate its obligation to provide further Services under this Agreement by serving written notice of termination to the City, provided Consultant has first served the City with a written notice of default and demand to cure, and City has failed to cure such default within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice.

19. Ownership of Work Product.
a. Except as otherwise provided in Section 18, “Termination”, above, and unless otherwise agreed upon in writing, all draft and final reports, documents, and other written material, and any and all images, ideas, concepts, designs including website designs, source code, object code, electronic data and files, and/or other media whatsoever created or developed by Consultant in the performance of this Agreement (collectively, “Work Product”) shall be considered to be “works made for hire” for the benefit of City. All Work Product and any and all intellectual property rights arising from their creation, including, but not limited to, all copyrights and other proprietary rights, shall be and remain the property of City without restriction or limitation upon their use, duplication or dissemination by City upon final payment being made or termination of the Agreement by City, provided that any such use shall be at City’s sole risk. Consultant shall not obtain or attempt to obtain copyright protection as to any of the Work Product. “Work Product” does not include intellectual property lawfully owned by or licensed to Consultant prior to the effective date of this Agreement. b. Consultant hereby assigns to City all rights of ownership to the Work Product, including any and all related intellectual property and proprietary rights that are not otherwise vested in the City pursuant to subsection (a), above. c. Consultant warrants and represents that it has secured all necessary licenses, consents or approvals necessary to the production of the Work Product, and that upon final payment or Consultant’s default, City shall have full legal title to the Work Product, and full legal authority and the right to use and reproduce the Work Product for any purpose. Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold City, and the other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 13(a), above) harmless from any and all loss, claim or liability in any way related to a claim that City’s use of any of the Work Product violates federal, state or local laws, or any contractual provisions, or any rights or laws relating to trade names, licenses, franchises, copyrights, patents or other means of protecting intellectual property rights and/or interests in products, ideas or inventions. Consultant shall bear all costs arising from the use of patented, copyrighted, trade secret or trademarked documents, materials, equipment, devices or processes in connection with its provision of the Work Product produced under this Agreement. In the event the use of any of the Work Product or other deliverables hereunder by City is held to constitute an infringement and the use of any of the same is enjoined, Consultant, at its expense, shall: (a) secure for City the right to continue using the Work Product and other deliverables by suspension of any injunction, or by procuring a license or licenses for City; or (b) modify the Work Product and other deliverables so that they Paramount PSA_Prof Liability (January 2025) 10

1. Time for Compliance. Consultant shall not commence work under this Agreement until it has provided evidence satisfactory to the City that it has secured all insurance required under this section, or as may otherwise be permitted or required in writing by the City’s risk manager.

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. Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions): Consultant shall maintain professional liability insurance that covers the services to be performed in connection with this Agreement, in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate. Any policy inception date, continuity date, or retroactive date must be before the effective date of this Agreement. If a “claims-made” policy is provided, it shall include an extended reporting period of not less than three (3) years.

D. 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.

E. Reserved.

F. 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”) insurance policy coverage, for all liability arising out of the operations by or on Paramount PSA_Prof Liability (January 2025) Exhibit C - 2 behalf of the named insured, and this CGL 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 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 selfinsurance and shall be at least as broad as CG 20 01 04 13.

G. 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. If any policy is canceled or reduced, the Consultant must file evidence of reinstatement or replacement coverage within ten (10) days of receipt of written notice of the change.

Paramount PSA_Prof Liability (January 2025) Exhibit C - 3 The City may request copies of insurance policies and endorsements for informational purposes only, without assuming any obligation to verify compliance or adequacy.

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.

From: John Moreno, City Manager

SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF A TECHNOLOGICAL DISRUPTION POLICY FOR

HYBRID PUBLIC MEETINGS

BACKGROUND
The Ralph M. Brown Act establishes California's open meeting requirements for local legislative bodies, ensuring that public business is conducted openly and transparently.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, temporary emergency provisions allowed local agencies to conduct meetings remotely while maintaining public access. Following the expiration of those emergency authorities, the Legislature adopted several teleconferencing options to facilitate public participation.

Senate Bill 707 (Durazo), signed into law in 2025, further revised the Brown Act by creating a more permanent framework for remote public access to meetings. The legislation seeks to increase civic engagement by allowing members of the public to observe and participate in local government meetings through telephone and internetbased platforms while maintaining transparency and accountability.

Starting on July 1, 2026, public meetings held by an eligible legislative body are required to include an opportunity for members of the public to attend via a two-way telephonic service or a two-way audiovisual platform (such as Zoom), commonly referred to as a “hybrid meeting.”
In addition to modernizing Brown Act requirements by establishing permanent procedures for remote public access, SB 707 requires agencies to adopt procedures that establish how meetings will be managed when a technological disruption occurs.

DISCUSSION
Purpose of the Policy
The proposed Technological Disruption Policy establishes procedures to ensure that members of the public retain meaningful access to meetings when remote participation options are offered.

Agenda Report June 23, 2026
TECHNOLOGICAL DISRUPTION POLICY Page 2
The policy provides direction to City staff and the City Council regarding:
• Identification of technological disruptions.
• Temporary suspension of meeting proceedings when necessary. • Restoration of public access.
• Continuation, postponement, or adjournment of meetings when disruptions cannot be resolved.
• Documentation of disruptions in meeting records.

Definition of Technological Disruption
For purposes of the policy, a technological disruption includes any interruption or failure of internet, telephone, audiovisual, streaming, or other technology used to provide public access or public comment opportunities during a meeting. Examples include:
• Loss of internet connectivity.
• Failure of the virtual meeting platform.
• Audio transmission failures.
• Video transmission failures.
• Public inability to access remote participation links. • Power outages affecting meeting technology.

Proposed Procedures
The proposed policy establishes the following procedures:

1. Temporary Suspension of Proceedings
When City staff becomes aware of a technological disruption that prevents remote public participation, the presiding officer shall suspend the meeting for a minimum of one hour to allow staff to assess and restore service.

2. Restoration Efforts
Staff shall make reasonable efforts to restore remote access, including:
• Re-establishing internet connections.
• Restarting meeting software or equipment.
• Providing alternative access methods when available.
• Communicating status updates through available channels.

3. Determination to Continue or Adjourn
If the disruption cannot be resolved within the one hour period of time, the legislative body may:

Agenda Report June 23, 2026
TECHNOLOGICAL DISRUPTION POLICY Page 3
• Continue the meeting if the following findings are made upon motion, second and roll call vote: (i) that good faith efforts to restore the telephonic or internet service have been made in accordance with the City’s Technological Disruption Policy for Hybrid Public Meetings; and (ii) that the public interest in continuing the meeting outweighs the public interest in remote public access;
• Continue the recess until service is restored; or
• Adjourn and continue the remaining business to a future meeting date.

4. Public Comment Protection
No action shall be taken on an agenda item during a technological disruption if members of the public are unable to access the meeting or provide public comment as required by law.

5. Recordkeeping
Any technological disruption and resulting actions taken by the legislative body shall be documented in the meeting minutes.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact.

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. 1: Safe Community - Provide a safe place to live, work, and visit.
