To: Honorable City Council
From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Heidi Luce, City Clerk
Date: September 8, 2026
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE CITY’S CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE AND REPEALING RESOLUTION NO.
22:047

BACKGROUND
The Political Reform Act requires all public agencies to adopt a Conflict of Interest Code.

The Conflict of Interest Code designates positions required to file a Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700) and assigns disclosure categories specifying the types of financial interests to be reported.

In 1990, Government Code Section 87306.5 was added to the Political Reform Act requiring a review of the Conflict of Interest Code be performed by the code reviewing body each even-numbered year. Each city must review its conflict of interest code biennially and notify the City Council as to whether or not the code needs to be amended by October 1 of each even-numbered year. The City Council last amended the Conflict of Interest Code in 2022 and adopted Resolution No. 22:047 memorializing those amendments.

DISCUSSION
In consultation with the City Attorney, the City Clerk has reviewed the City’s current Conflict of Interest Code and recommends that the titles of designated employees in the Planning and Building Department be amended to reflect the current department name.

Additionally, the City Attorney recommends that the Conflict of Interest code be amended to clarify some of the disclosure categories that are either redundant or overly broad and to add a disclosure category for consultants that mirrors the FPPC regulations. Resolution No. 26:035 reflecting the recommended amendments is attached for City Council’s consideration..

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

CITY OF PARAMOUNT

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
RESOLUTION NO. 26:035

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
PARAMOUNT AMENDING THE CITY’S CONFLICT OF INTEREST
CODE AND REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 22:047
WHEREAS, the Political Reform Act, Government Code Sections 81000, et seq., requires local agencies to adopt a Conflict of Interest Code; and WHEREAS, Government Code Section 87306(a) requires every local agency to amend its Conflict of Interest Code when changes occur. Such changes include the creation of new positions which must be designated, the deletion of old positions, and relevant changes in the duties assigned to existing positions; and WHEREAS, the organizational names of certain City departments have been updated and should be reflected accurately in the City’s Conflict of Interest Code.

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The above recitations are true and correct.

SECTION 2. Resolution No. 22:047 is hereby repealed.

SECTION 3. The Conflict of Interest Code of the City of Paramount is hereby adopted as follows:

The Political Reform Act, Government Code Section 81000, et seq., requires state and local government agencies to adopt and promulgate Conflict of Interest Codes. The Fair Political Practices Commission has adopted a regulation, 2 Cal. Code of Regulations Section 18730, which contains the terms of a standard Conflict of Interest Code, which can be incorporated by reference and which may be amended by the Fair Political Practices Commission to conform to amendments in the Political Reform Act after public notice and hearings. Therefore, the terms of 2 Cal. Code of Regulations Section 18730 and any amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission are hereby incorporated by reference. These provisions, along with the attached Appendix A in which officials and employees are designated, and Appendix B in which disclosure categories are set forth, constitute the Conflict of Interest Code of the City of Paramount, which is considered the “agency” within the purview of this code. The Conflict of Interest Code of the City of Paramount so adopted amends and replaces any Conflict of Interest Code of the City of Paramount previously in effect.

RESOLUTION NO. 26:035

SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall be and perform the duties of Filing Officer for the City of Paramount. Persons holding designated positions shall file Statements of Economic Interests with the City Clerk, the originals of which shall be on file with the City Clerk’s Office.

SECTION 5. Any change provided for in this Conflict of Interest Code shall not affect or excuse any offense or act committed or done or omission or any penalty or forfeiture incurred or accruing under any other Conflict of Interest Code; nor shall it affect any prosecution, suit, or proceeding pending or any judgement rendered in connection with any other Conflict of Interest Code.

SECTION 6. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution and enter it into the book of original Resolutions.

SECTION 7. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.

PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Paramount this 8th day of September 2026.

LANDSCAPING FOR CITYWIDE LANDSCAPING SERVICES

BACKGROUND
The City is committed to maintaining attractive, safe, and well-maintained public spaces that enhance the quality of life for residents, businesses, and visitors. Routine landscape maintenance plays a crucial role in preserving the City’s parks, streetscapes, public facilities, and other landscaped areas while promoting community pride and protecting the City’s investment in its public infrastructure. Consistent with the City’s efforts to maintain high service levels for its green space and landscaping, the City opted to seek two contractors to support these efforts, with one contractor maintaining the City’s medians and vines, and another contractor maintaining the City’s park spaces and facilities.

To support these efforts, at the August 27, 2024 City Council meeting, the City entered into an agreement with Azteca Landscape (Azteca) to provide comprehensive citywide landscape maintenance services. More specifically, Azteca’s scope of work covers City facilities and parks. Since the commencement of the agreement, Azteca has provided quality services and has demonstrated the ability to effectively maintain the City’s landscaped areas in accordance with the City’s standards and expectations.

As the current agreement approaches the end of its initial term in September of this year, staff has evaluated the contractor’s performance and determined that extending the agreement will provide continuity of service, maintain the quality of landscape maintenance throughout the City, and avoid disruptions associated with procuring a new contractor while allowing the City to continue receiving reliable services.

DISCUSSION
Staff is requesting City Council approval of Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with Azteca. The amendment will extend the agreement for an additional two-year term, until September 2028 ensuring the continued delivery of citywide landscape maintenance services without interruption.

Agenda Report September 8, 2026
AMENDMENT NO. 1 WITH AZTECA LANDSCAPING Page 2
To account for rising operational costs while providing cost certainty to the City, the amendment also establishes an annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment cap of

3.6 percent (3.6%) during the two-year extension period. This approach allows for reasonable adjustments based on economic conditions.

Upon completion of the initial two-year extension, the agreement may be administratively renewed for one (1) additional two-year (2) term, or up to two (2) one-year (1) extensions, subject to the contractor’s satisfactory performance, continued service needs, and the City’s review of market conditions and pricing. Prior to exercising any administrative renewal, staff will evaluate the contractor’s performance and determine whether the agreement continues to provide the best overall value for the City.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the first year of Amendment No. 1 is included in the adopted Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 budget utilizing General Funds from our Landscape Division Operating Costs.

Amendment No. 1 with Azteca establishes an annual base contract amount of $1,043,983.75, which includes a 3.6 percent Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment.

Beginning in FY 2027-28, any applicable CPI adjustments will be incorporated into the proposed operating budget through the City’s annual budget development process. If future administrative renewals are determined to be appropriate based on contractor performance and applicable review criteria, staff will evaluate the associated funding in future budget requests.

DBA FOUR SEASONS LANDSCAPING FOR CITYWIDE MEDIAN AND

VINE LANDSCAPING SERVICES

BACKGROUND
The City is committed to maintaining attractive, safe, and well-maintained public spaces that enhance the quality of life for residents, businesses, and visitors. Routine landscape maintenance plays a crucial role in preserving the City’s parks, streetscapes, public facilities, and other landscaped areas while promoting community pride and protecting the City’s investment in its public infrastructure. Consistent with maintaining the City’s greenspace at high service levels, the City opted for two contractors, one to focus on the City’s medians and vines, and a second contractor to maintain City facilities and park spaces.

On August 27, 2024, City Council awarded a contract to SGD Enterprises dba Four Seasons Landscaping (Four Seasons) for citywide medians and vines landscaping services. The agreement was developed as part of the City’s efforts to improve the overall landscape maintenance services throughout the community.

Since the commencement of services, Four Seasons has performed ongoing landscape maintenance activities throughout the City’s medians and vine areas. As part of the City’s continued efforts to maintain high-quality landscaping standards, staff has identified the need to amend the existing agreement to support continued maintenance operations.

DISCUSSION
Staff is requesting City Council approval of Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with Four Seasons. The amendment will extend the agreement for an additional two-year term, until September 2028 ensuring the continued delivery of citywide median and vine care maintenance services without interruption. Four Seasons has continued to demonstrate the ability to perform the required maintenance services.

To account for rising operational costs while providing cost certainty to the City, the amendment also establishes an annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment cap of Agenda Report September 8, 2026

Prior to exercising any administrative renewal, staff will evaluate the contractor’s performance and determine whether the agreement continues to provide the best overall value for the City.

Funding for the first year of Amendment No. 1 is included in the adopted Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 budget utilizing General and Gas Tax Funds. Therefore, no additional budget appropriation is needed for this fiscal year.

By:

Nicholas R. Ghirelli, Attorney
To: Honorable City Council
From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Michelle Tse, Interim Public Works
Director
Date: September 8, 2026
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION OF EMERGENCY HVAC REPAIR SERVICES FOR THE

PARAMOUNT PARK GYMNASIUM AND CITY HALL FACILITIES

BACKGROUND
City Hall and the Paramount Park Gymnasium (Gym) are important public facilities that support a variety of City operations, programs, and community activities. City Hall serves as a central location for City operations, public services, meetings, and community engagement, including regularly scheduled City Council meetings that bring together elected officials, City staff, members of the public, and community stakeholders. The Paramount Park Gym similarly provides a space for recreational programming, community activities, and public use, making the continued operation of both facilities important to the community.

Recently, the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems serving both City Hall and the Paramount Park Gym experienced significant equipment failures that affected the facilities’ ability to maintain adequate interior temperatures. The failures presented an immediate concern given the continued use of both facilities for City operations, public services, recreational programming, meetings, and community activities.

Upon becoming aware of the HVAC issues, City staff worked to assess the condition of the affected equipment and determined the appropriate course of action. Staff coordinated with HVAC professionals to evaluate the systems and identify the repairs necessary to replace the equipment.

DISCUSSION
Since both facilities remain active and serve as high-traffic public spaces, maintaining reasonable interior temperatures is necessary to support continued operations and provide an appropriate environment for employees, program participants, elected officials, and members of the public. Staff therefore determined that the necessary HVAC repairs should proceed on an emergency basis.

Agenda Report September 8, 2026
AUTHORIZATION OF EMERGENCY HVAC REPAIR SERVICES Page 2
Staff has therefore pursued the most immediate and practical solution to restore the HVAC systems. Based on the assessment of the existing equipment, staff received a proposal in the amount of $109,200 for City Hall and $69,500 for the Paramount Park Gym to perform the required emergency repairs and parts replacement.

The emergency nature of this situation warrants moving forward with the repairs without delay to address the existing failure and restore the facility to a safe and functional condition. Given the warm temperatures during the summer months, it is imperative that the HVAC systems at both facilities be expeditiously repaired given the essential civic activities that occur at City Hall and the recreational programming for residents and Paramount Unified School District students at the Paramount Park Gym.

Pursuant to Chapter 3.12 of the Paramount Municipal Code, emergency purchases or services are exempt from competitive bidding and City Council approval when the Purchasing Officer determines that emergency conditions require the immediate procurement of goods or services. The Municipal Code defines emergency purchases as those procurements necessary to prevent the immediate interruption or cessation of essential City services or to safeguard life, property, public health, or public welfare.

The total cost of this work exceeds the City Manager’s purchasing authority threshold.

Therefore, this item is being presented to the City Council for approval of the emergency repair services and associated expenditures.

Cost:

City Hall: $109,200
Paramount Park Gym: $ 69,500
Contingency (10%): $ 17,870
Total $196,570

FISCAL IMPACT
A budget adjustment of $196,570 from the Equipment Replacement Fund (521) to the Facility Maintenance division is needed to cover the cost of the emergency HVAC repairs, as reflected in the table below:

AUTHORIZATION OF EMERGENCY HVAC REPAIR SERVICES Page 3
In addition, staff is exploring potential grant funding opportunities that may be available to offset or reimburse a portion of the costs associated with the HVAC repairs. While the availability and eligibility of such funding has not yet been confirmed, staff will continue to evaluate applicable grant programs and pursue funding opportunities.

VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No 1: Safe Community - Provide a safe place to live, work, and visit. 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 $196,570 from the Equipment Replacement Fund (521); and 2) Authorize the emergency repair services for the HVAC repair services for the Paramount Park Gymnasium and City Hall facilities in the amount of $178,700.

SUBJECT: REPLACEMENT OF RUBBERIZED MATTING AT PARAMOUNT PARK (CITY PROJECT NO. 9653)

BACKGROUND
The City is committed to providing safe, well-maintained recreational facilities for the community. As part of the City’s ongoing efforts to maintain its parks and recreational amenities, staff evaluated and identified the need to replace a portion of the existing playground safety surfacing at Paramount Park. The existing poured-in-place (PIP) rubber surfacing material has reached a condition where replacement is necessary to maintain an appropriate and safe play environment.

To address the deteriorated surfacing conditions, the City solicited bids through the Requests for Proposals (RFP) process. This project scope includes removal of the existing PIP rubber safety surfacing, and installation of new PIP rubber playground material within the designated play area. The project was developed to provide a durable, slip-resistant, and Americans with Disabilities (ADA)-accessible surface while maintaining the required impact attenuation and accessibility standards for a public playground.

The project will include approximately 1,270 square feet of new PIP rubber playground safety surfacing, removal and disposal of the old material, and restoration of any disturbed areas. The new playground surfacing is required to comply with applicable American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) standards, Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) guidelines, and ADA accessibility requirements, and requirements related to impact attenuation. The completed installation is also required to provide the necessary critical fall height protection for the playground equipment.

DISCUSSION
On Thursday, July 9, 2026, the City published the Notice Inviting Bids for this solicitation in the Paramount Journal and on the City’s website.

On Thursday, August 13, 2026, the Interim Director of Public Works opened and examined the bids for Replacement of Rubberized Matting at Paramount Park (City Project No. 9653). The bids were opened at 11:00 AM at the City Yard.

Agenda Report September 8, 2026
RUBBERIZED MATTING REPLACEMENT (CIP NO. 9653) Page 2
One (1) bid was received and analyzed for completeness of the required documentation, licensing, and other requirements. Upon review of the proposal, staff determined that SpectraSystems, Inc. DBA SpectraTurf possessed the necessary experience, resources, and capabilities to complete the project.

Cost:

The following is a breakdown of estimated total project costs:

Project: $37,843.00
Contingency (10%): $ 3,784.30
Total $41,627.30

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this service was included in the FY 2026-27 Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) budget, utilizing Measure A Grant Funds. The total projected cost is $41,650 which, includes a 10% contingency for contract change orders that may arise during the installation process.. Therefore, no additional budget appropriation is needed to support the award of this contract.

The Contractor shall repair or replace defective materials and workmanship as required in this Section 3-13.3 at its own expense. Additionally, the Contractor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the City harmless from claims of any kind arising from damage, injury or death due to such defects.

The Contractor shall make revisions as required by the City Engineer. The schedule must account for all subcontract work, as well as the work of the Contractor, submittals, coordination with the other contractors performing concurrent work and the Traffic Control Plan.

The Contractor shall update this Construction Schedule when directed by the City Engineer, or when:

The Contractor shall provide a two (2) week “look ahead” schedule for each meeting. The construction manager will preside at these meetings and will prepare the meeting agenda, meeting minutes and will distribute minutes to all persons in attendance. As the Work progresses, if it is determined by agreement of the attendees, that weekly meetings are not necessary, the weekly progress meetings may be changed to bi-weekly progress meetings. 6-1.2 Commencement of the Work
The Contractor shall not begin any construction activity at the site before the issuance of the Notice to Proceed. Any Work that is done by the Contractor in advance of the Notice to Proceed shall be considered as being done at the Contractor’s own risk and responsibility, and as a consequence will be subject to rejection.

Section 6-1.3 is hereby added to Section 6 of Part 1 of the Standard Specifications, as follows:
6-1.3 Working Days And Hours
The Contractor shall do all Work between the hours as determined by the City. No Work will be allowed on City holidays.

A permit may have other hours or Days for the Contractor to do the Work, and those hours and Days shall supersede any hours and Days written in this Section.

Whenever the Contractor is permitted or directed to perform night Work or to vary the period during which Work is performed during the Working Day, the Contractor shall give twelve (12) hours’ notice to the City Engineer so that inspection may be provided. A charge may be made to the Contractor for approved overtime or weekend inspections requested by the Contractor. 6-4 DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME
6-4.1 General.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, an adjustment to the Contract time by reason of a Change Order shall be agreed to at the time the Change Order is issued and accepted by Contractor. If the Change Order does not reserve the right of the parties, or either of them, to seek an adjustment to the Contract time, then the parties forever relinquish and waive such right and there shall be no further adjustments to the Contract time.

No extension of time will be granted for any event, including pandemics, leading to the issuance of a “stay at home” or similar kind of order by any local, State, or federal governmental authority, if the Work has been deemed, either by emergency order or proclamation, or operation of law, to be an essential service that is exempt from such stay at home or similar order. 6-4.2 Extensions of Time
In the event it is deemed appropriate by the City to extend the time for completion of the Work, any such extension shall not release any guarantee for the Work required by the Contract Documents, nor shall any such extension of time relieve or release the Sureties on the Bonds executed. In executing such Bonds, the Sureties shall be deemed to have expressly agreed to any such extensions of time. The amount of time allowed by an extension of time shall be limited to the period of the delay giving rise to the same as determined by the City. Notwithstanding any dispute which may arise in connection with a claim for adjustment of the Contract time, the Contractor shall promptly proceed with the Work.
6-4.3 Payment for Delays
Notwithstanding any other terms and conditions of the Contract Documents, the City shall have no obligation whatsoever to increase the Contract Price or extend the time for delays.

Unless compensation and/or markup is agreed upon by the City, the Contractor agrees that no payment of compensation of any kind shall be made to the Contractor for damages or increased overhead costs caused by any delays in the progress of the Contract, whether such delays are avoidable or unavoidable or caused by any act or omission of the City or its agents. Any accepted delay claim shall be fully compensated for by an extension of time to complete the performance of the Work.

This Section shall not apply to compensable delays caused solely by the City. If a compensable delay is caused solely by the City, the Contractor shall be entitled to a Change Order that:
(1) extends the time for completion of the Contract by the amount of delay caused by the City; and (2) provides equitable adjustment, as determined by the City, to the Contractor. 6-8 TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT FOR CONVENIENCE
Notwithstanding any provision of Section 6-8, the City may terminate this Agreement for any or no reason by providing not less than fifteen (15) Days’ prior notice.

The following sentence is added to Section 6-8:

In no event (including termination for impossibility or impracticability, due to conditions or events beyond the control of the City, for any other reason or for no reason) shall the total amount of money to Contractor exceed the amount which would have been paid to Contractor for the full performance of the services described in the Contract.
6-9 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
The $250 liquidated damage amount is hereby replaced with the amount of $600.

For the purposes of the calculation of the start of the liquidated damages, the Work shall be deemed to be completed when the same has been completed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications therefor and to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, and the City Engineer has certified such completion in accordance with Section 3-13.1 of Part 1 of the Standard Specifications.

SECTION 7. MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

7.3 PAYMENT

7.3.1 General
The unit and lump sum prices to be paid shall constitute full compensation for all labor, equipment, materials, tools and incidentals required to complete the Project as outlined in these Contract Documents and as directed by the City Engineer. In accordance with Public Contract Code Section 7107, if no claims have been filed and are still pending, the amount deducted from the final estimate and retained by the City will be paid to the Contractor except such amounts as are required by law to be withheld by properly executed and filed notices to stop payment, or as may be withheld for any other lawful purposes.
7-3.2 Partial and Final Payment
7-3.2.1 Monthly Closure Date and Invoice Date
For purposes of Section 7-3.2, the monthly closure date shall be the last Day of each month. A measurement of Work performed and a progress estimate of the value thereof based on the Contract and of the monthly payment shall be prepared by the Contractor and submitted to the City Engineer before the tenth (10th) Day of the following month for verification and payment consideration.
7-3.2.2Payments
The City shall make payments within thirty (30) Days after receipt of the Contractor’s undisputed and properly submitted payment request, including an updated construction schedule pursuant to Section 6-1.1 of the General Provisions. The City shall return to the Contractor any payment request determined not to be a proper payment request as soon as practicable, but not later than seven (7) Days after receipt, and shall explain in writing the reasons why the payment request is not proper.
7-3.2.3 Retention
The City shall withhold not less than five percent (5%) from each progress payment. However, at any time after fifty percent (50%) of the Work has been completed, if the City Council finds that satisfactory progress is being made, it may, at its discretion, make any of the remaining progress payments in full for actual Work completed. The City shall withhold not less than five percent (5%) of the Contract Price from the Final Payment Amount (defined in Section 7-3.2.4) until at least thirty-five (35) days after recordation of the Notice of Completion, or recordation of a notice of acceptance or cessation, but not later than the period permitted by Public Contract Code Section 7107.
7-3.2.4Final Invoice and Payment
Whenever the Contractor shall have completely performed the Contract in the opinion of the City Engineer, the City Engineer shall notify the City Clerk that the Contract has been completed in its entirety. The Contractor shall then submit to the City Engineer a written statement of the final quantities of Contract items for inclusion in the final invoice. Upon receipt of such statement, the City Engineer shall check the quantities included therein and shall authorize a payment amount, which in the City Engineer’s opinion shall be just and fair, covering the value of the total amount of Work done by the Contractor, less all previous payments and all amounts to be retained under the provisions of the Contract Documents (“Final Payment Amount”). The City Engineer shall then request that the City accept the Work and that the City Clerk be authorized to file, on behalf of the City in the office of the County Recorder, a Notice of Completion of the Work herein agreed to be done by the Contractor. In addition, the final payment will not be released until the Contractor returns the control set of Plans and Specifications showing the redlined as-built conditions. 7-3.2.5Substitute Security
In accordance with Public Contract Code Section 22300, the Contractor may request that it be permitted to substitute securities in lieu of having retention withheld by the City from progress payments when such payments become due or, in the alternative, the Contractor may request that the City make payments of earned retentions directly to an agreed upon designated escrow agent at the Contractor’s expense. If the Contractor selects either one of these alternatives, the following shall control.

7.3.2.5.1 Substitution of Securities for Performance Retention At some reasonable time before any progress payment would otherwise be due and payable to the Contractor in the performance of Work under these Contract Documents, the Contractor may submit a request to the City in writing to permit the substitution of retentions with securities equivalent to the amount estimated by the City (“estimated amount of retention”) to be withheld.

The Contractor shall deposit such securities with the City or may, in the alternative, deposit such securities in escrow with a State or federally chartered bank in California, as the escrow agent, at the Contractor’s expense. Such securities will be the equivalent or greater in value of the estimated amount of retention. If the Contract is modified by written Modifications or Change Orders or the Contractor otherwise becomes entitled to receive an amount more than the Contract Price at the time the securities are deposited, the Contractor shall, at the request of the City, deposit with the City or escrow agent, whichever is applicable, additional securities within a reasonable time so that the amount of securities on deposit with the City or escrow agent is equivalent or greater in value than the amount of retention the City would otherwise be entitled to withhold from progress payments due or to become due to the Contractor as the Work progresses.

The City shall withhold any retention amount that exceeds the security amount until the additional securities are deposited and, if the deposit is with an escrow agent, the City has confirmation from that escrow agent of the new total value of securities. Upon satisfactory completion of the Contract, which shall mean, among other things, that the City is not otherwise entitled to retain proceeds from progress payments as elsewhere provided in the Contract or under applicable law, the securities shall be returned to the Contractor. The City shall, within its sole discretion, determine whether the amount of the securities on deposit with the City or escrow agent is equal to or greater than the amount of estimated retention of progress payments that could otherwise be held by the City if the Contractor had not elected to substitute same with securities. 7-3.2.5.2 Deposit of Retention Proceeds with an Escrow Agent As an alternative to the substitution of securities, as provided above, or the City otherwise retaining and holding retention proceeds from progress payments, the Contractor may request the City to make payments of retentions earned directly to an escrow agent with the same qualifications as required in Section 7-3.2.5.1 above and at the expense of the Contractor. At its sole expense, the Contractor may direct the investment of such retention payments into only such securities as mentioned in Section 7-3.2.5.4 below and shall be entitled to interest earned on such investments on the same terms provided for securities deposited by the Contractor. Upon satisfactory completion of the Contract, which shall mean when the City would not otherwise be entitled to withhold retention proceeds from progress payments had the Contractor not elected to have such proceeds deposited into escrow, the Contractor shall be allowed to receive from the escrow agent all securities, interest and payments deposited into escrow pursuant to the terms of this Section. The Contractor shall pay to each Subcontractor, not later than ten (10) Days of receipt of payment, the respective amount of interest earned, net of costs attributed to retention withheld from each Subcontractor, on the amount withheld to ensure performance of the Contractor.
7-3.2.5.3 Subcontractor Entitlement to Interest
If the Contractor elects to receive interest on any moneys withheld in retention by the City, then the Subcontractor shall receive the identical rate of interest received by the Contractor on any retention moneys withheld from the Subcontractor by the Contractor, less any actual pro rata costs associated with administering and calculating that interest. In the event that the interest rate is a fluctuating rate, the rate for the Subcontractor shall be determined by calculating the interest rate paid during the time that retentions were withheld from the Subcontractor. If the Contractor elects to substitute securities in lieu of retention, then, by mutual consent of the Contractor and the Subcontractor, the Subcontractor may substitute securities in exchange for the release of moneys held in retention by the Contractor. The Contractor shall pay each Subcontractor, not later than ten (10) Days after receipt of escrow moneys, the amount owed to each Subcontractor from the moneys plus the respective amount of interest earned, net of costs attributed to the retention held from each Subcontractor, on the amount of retention withheld to ensure performance of the Subcontractor.
7-3.2.5.4 Securities Eligible for Investment
Securities eligible for investment shall include those listed in Government Code Section 16430, bank or savings and loan certificates of deposit, interest-bearing demand deposit accounts, standby letters of credit, or any other security mutually agreed upon between the Contractor and the City. The Contractor shall be the beneficial owner of any securities substituted for any monies withheld and shall receive any interest thereon.
7-3.2.5.5 Escrow Agreement for Security Deposits in Lieu of Retention The escrow agreement that shall be used for the deposit of securities in lieu of retention shall substantially conform to the form prescribed in Public Contract Code Section 22300(f). 7-3.2.5.6 Inconsistencies with Prevailing Statutory Requirements If there is any inconsistency between or differences in Public Contract Code Section 22300 and the terms of this provision, or any future amendments thereto, Section 22300 shall control.

Section 7-3.9 is hereby added to Section 7-3 of Part 1 of the Standard Specifications, as follows:
7-3.9 AUDIT
The City or its representative shall have the option of inspecting and/or auditing all records and other written materials used by the Contractor in preparing its billings to the City as a condition precedent to any payment to the Contractor or in response to a construction claim or a Public Records Act (Government Code Section 6250 et seq.) request. The Contractor will promptly furnish documents requested by the City at no cost. Additionally, the Contractor shall be subject to State Auditor examination and audit at the request of the City or as part of any audit of the City, for a period of three (3) years after final payment under the Contract. The Contractor shall include a copy of this Section 7-3.9 in all contracts with its Subcontractors, and the Contractor shall be responsible for immediately obtaining those records or other written material from its Subcontractors upon a request by the State Auditor or the City. If the Project includes other auditing requirements, those additional requirements will be listed in the Special Provisions.

SECTION 8 FACILITIES FOR AGENCY PERSONNEL
8-1 General

The cost of additional replacement of curb, gutter or sidewalk in excess of the estimated quantities shown in the Bid form and Specifications and found necessary during the process of construction (but not due to damage resulting from carelessness on the part of the Contractor during its operation), shall be paid to the Contractor at the unit prices submitted in his or her Bid. 9-5 REMOVAL OF INTERFERING OBSTRUCTIONS
The Contractor shall remove and dispose of all debris, abandoned structures, tree roots and obstructions of any character encountered during the process of excavation. It is understood that the cost of any such removals are made as part of the unit price bid by the Contractor under the item for excavation or removal of existing Work.

If the City requires other tests or more specific requirements for testing regarding this Project, those details will be included in the Special Provisions. 9-7 ACCESS TO PRIVATE PROPERTY
Unless otherwise stated in the Special Provisions, the Contractor shall be responsible for all fees and costs associated with securing permission to access private property for any portion of the Project.
9-9 CLAIM DISPUTE RESOLUTION
In the event of any dispute or controversy with the City over any matter whatsoever, the Contractor shall not cause any delay or cessation in or of Work but shall proceed with the performance of the Work in dispute. The Contractor shall retain any and all rights provided that pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between the parties. The disputed Work will be categorized as an “unresolved dispute” and payment, if any, shall be as later determined by mutual agreement or a court of law. The Contractor shall keep accurate, detailed records of all disputed Work, claims and other disputed matters.

All claims arising out of or related to the Contract Documents or this Project, and the consideration and payment of such claims, are subject to Public Contract Code Section 9204 and Public Contract Code Section 20104 et seq.

SUBJECT: UPDATED TITLE VI COMPLIANCE POLICY

BACKGROUND
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. As a recipient of federal infrastructure funds through the master agreement with Caltrans for the Rosecrans bridge project, the City of Paramount is required to maintain a Title VI Plan that ensures all municipal and transit services are provided in a nondiscriminatory manner.

The City of Paramount’s Title VI policy and plan update was last approved on September 15, 2020. Title VI plans are updated periodically to comply with mandates from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The program outlines the City’s commitment to equal access, details complaint procedures, and includes a Language Assistance Plan to address the needs of Limited English Proficiency (LEP) populations.

The proposed plan update incorporates new demographic data, language access measures, and an administrative update of forms and process.

The City contracts with Long Beach Transit and Administrative Services Cooperative, Inc. to provide fixed-route, paratransit, and specialized mobility services. The Title VI Plan ensures these services are distributed equitably and that all residents, including those with LEP, have meaningful access to information and participation in public processes.

The City has not received any formal complaints of discrimination in the past three years, demonstrating ongoing compliance and commitment to civil rights.

DISCUSSION
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 provides that “no person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”
The City of Paramount is a recipient of federal financial assistance through infrastructure programs administered by Caltrans, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and Agenda Report September 8, 2026
UPDATED TITLE VI POLICY Page 2
the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). As a sub-recipient, the City is mandated to comply with Title VI and related nondiscrimination laws and regulations.

The updated Title VI Plan incorporates:

• Administrative Structure & Title VI Roles
• Program Implementation, including Language Assistance Plan (LAP) • Complaint Procedures and Appeals Process
• Inclusive Public Participation Plan
• Service Standards for Transit and Paratransit Programs • Demographic and Census Data Analysis
• Federal Reporting and Subrecipient Oversight
Key updates include:
• Revised demographic analysis using 2020–2024 Census data • Enhanced Language Assistance Plan, focusing on Spanish-speaking LEP populations (24.86% of residents)
• Updated complaint procedures and federal reporting protocols • Environmental Justice construction audits for FHWA-funded projects As the City’s designated Title VI Compliance Coordinator, the Human Resources Manager will be responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Title VI program.

Following City Council’s approval of the updated Title VI policy, the Coordinator will be conducting the required training for City staff.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the development of the Title VI policy update was included in the FY 2026-27 adopted budget.

VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No 1: Safe Community - Provide a safe place to live, work, and visit. 2: Community Health - Provide diverse recreational and cultural amenities that support healthy lifestyles and a sense of community. 6:

Efficient, Effective, and Fiscally Responsible - Deliver an efficient and effective City government in a fiscally responsible, transparent and collaborative manner.

3 1 Introduction & Legal Framework
The City of Paramount provides transit and transportation services to its community. As a recipient of funds from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the City is required to maintain an updated Title VI Program as mandated by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). This program ensures that the level and quality of its transit and municipal services are provided in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Title VI explicitly dictates:
”No person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participating in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” (42 U.S.C. § 2000d) 2 Policy Statement
It is the explicit policy of the City of Paramount to ensure absolute compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, related statutes, and implementing regulations. To that end, no person shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity administered by the City.

The City of Paramount strictly forbids and will not tolerate actions that intimidate, threaten, coerce, or discriminate against any individual for the purpose of interfering with any right or privilege secured by Title VI, or because they have made a complaint, testified, assisted, or participated in any manner in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing under this policy. This program has been prepared in accordance with Section 601 of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Executive Order 13166 (Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency), and all associated federal guidelines.

The City Manager is the designated Title VI Compliance Manager for the City of Paramount, exercising overarching administrative oversight over the civil rights compliance programs detailed herein. 3 Purpose of the Program
This policy ensures that the City of Paramount’s transportation program—including fees, routing, scheduling, and quality of transportation services—and broader public programs are operated without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, religion, medical condition, marital status, or sexual orientation.

The program is designed to conform to the Federal Highway Administration guidelines, providing a comprehensive civil rights framework for a transit provider and local public agency operating in an urbanized region within Los Angeles County.

The City contracts with Long Beach Transit (LBT) to provide its transit services. The City of Paramount has established service policies and standards to ensure the equitable distribution of and access to transit services provided through its agreement with Long Beach Transit (LBT).

5.6 Membership of Non-Elected Governance Bodies

7 Language Assistance Plan (LAP) — 2026 Update

7.1 Section 1: Introduction and Legal Framework
Presidential Executive Order 13166 requires federal agencies and recipients of federal funds to implement measures to ensure that people who speak limited English have meaningful access to programs and activities, consistent with Title VI. Both the United States Department of Transportation and the Federal Transit Administration have implemented comprehensive guidance in furtherance of this mandate.

The City’s service area includes an eligible municipal population of 53,000 residents within a highly concentrated, diverse urban setting. To prepare this LAP, the City conducted the standard four-factor analysis.

7.2 Section 2: Determination of Need (Four-Factor Analysis)

7.2.1 Factor 1: Number and Proportion of LEP Persons Served or Encountered The baseline data used to evaluate language proficiency is drawn from the official American Community Survey Table C16001 dataset, titled Language Spoken at Home for the Population 5 Years and Over.

Individuals who report speaking English less than ”very well” are classified as Limited English Proficient (LEP) persons. The empirical findings reveal that the primary language spoken in the city other than English is Spanish, which is utilized by 63.97 percent of the total population.

As shown in the data tables in Appendix F, Spanish speakers constitute 24.86 percent of the total municipal population, comprising 12,192 LEP individuals, which vastly exceeds the federal Safe Harbor threshold (5% or 1,000 persons). Consequently, the City of Paramount strategically focuses its systemic written translation asset allocations on Spanish, while applying robust, on-demand oral translation protocols for all other non-dominant language subsets.

7.2.2 Factor 2: Frequency of LEP Population Contact with Programs, Activities, and Services The City’s historic and day-to-day interactions with LEP populations occur predominantly with Spanishspeaking residents. However, the City remains committed to engaging and reaching out to speakers of Asian, European, and alternative languages to gather public input for community development programs.

7.2.3 Factor 3: Importance to LEP Population of Programs, Services, and Activities The City of Paramount acts as the primary administrative authority for localized municipal infrastructure projects, public works, and vital urban grant initiatives. Vital programs include annual public hearings for housing assistance, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs, and critical public safety notices.

10 8 Long Beach Transit Agreement Service Standards & Monitoring The City of Paramount has established service policies and standards to ensure the equitable distribution of and access to transit services provided through its agreement with Long Beach Transit (LBT).

8.1 Service Performance Metrics
- Vehicle Headway: Routes are grouped into headways to provide a fair and even distribution of services. Evaluating headways by line group ensures a reliable approximation of actual service levels. - Passenger Load Factor: Refers to the ratio of customers to the total number of seats on a vehicle. If passenger loads are high, LBT attempts to alleviate the problem by adding extra service or rearranging routes.

LBT considers a route ’on-time’ if it arrives between one minute earlier and five minutes later than the scheduled arrival time. LBT’s target is 85 percent or greater. - Transit Access Analysis: LBT’s structural objective is to maintain a fixed-route bus stop within onequarter mile of all residents and major destinations, ensuring comparable access between minority/low-income areas and non-minority tracks.

8.2 Service Policies

To ensure that the City's Public Works capital projects do not cause a disparate impact or a disproportionate burden on communities protected by Title VI, the following oversight guidelines are enforced for all FHWAfunded design and engineering operations:

10.1Environmental Justice Construction Audits
Prior to authorization of any major roadway rehabilitation, streetscape expansion, or signal synchronization contract, the Public Works Department, in coordination with the Title VI Coordinator, shall complete an Environmental Justice (EJ) review. This review will analyze the geographic project site against minority and low-income census maps to ensure construction disruptions (such as temporary access closures, detours, increased air emission vectors, or noise pollution) do not fall disproportionately on historically vulnerable communities.

City of Paramount — Title VI Program September 2026
13 10.2Temporary Pedestrian Access Routes (TPAR) Enforcement For all roadway construction sites, contractors are mandated to maintain fully accessible, safe temporary pedestrian walkways. If a sidewalk or transit stop is temporarily closed in a minority or low-income census block, equivalent bilingual (English/Spanish) wayfinding signage and ADA-compliant physical protective barriers must be deployed on-demand, matching the high standard applied in non-minority zones. 11 Monitoring, Evidence, and Recordkeeping
To maintain continuous adherence to federal civil rights standards, the City of Paramount enforces the following systematic monitoring protocols:
• Centralized Training Registry: The City tracks the completion of formal Title VI onboarding and sensitivity training. Public-facing personnel must complete this training within thirty (30) days of hire, with refresher compliance executions maintained on a strict biennial schedule.

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.

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.

Thereafter, Consultant shall render any assistance to City and law enforcement as necessary to ascertain the nature and extent of such unauthorized access. c.

Consultant agrees that all City information and data provided 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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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 .

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF A MEMBER AND

ALTERNATE MEMBER TO THE GOVERNING BOARD OF THE LOS

ANGELES GATEWAY REGION INTEGRATED REGIONAL WATER

MANAGEMENT JOINT POWER AUTHORITY (GWMA)

BACKGROUND
The Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority (IRWM), commonly referred to as the Gateway Water Management Authority (GWMA), is a large watershed-based coalition. It is currently comprised of cities and water agencies responsible for coordinating the regional watershed needs of two million people in the Gateway Region located in southeastern Los Angeles County.

The GWMA was formed in 2007 in response to the passage of the two voter-approved water bonds: Proposition 50, passed in 2002, and proposition 84, passed in 2006. The primary function of GWMA is to secure grant funding for its members, act as a fiduciary agency on behalf of the watershed management groups and provide a forum for legislative advocacy on behalf of its members in matters related to drinking water and storm water regulations.

As a governing body, GWMA brings value and benefits to the region that include organizing and coordinating economical and efficient water management activities across city boundaries, providing specific benefits to regional disadvantaged communities in the Gateway region, and uniting as a single voice to help build relationships at the regional, state and federal levels.

Policy direction for the GWMA is provided by a governing board made up of representatives from each member agency and has one representative present at each board meeting. Typically, the representative is the City’s Director of Public Works or equivalent. As prescribed by its bylaws, governing board members and alternates must be appointed via Resolution.

For several years, former Public Works Director Adriana Figueroa served as the Board Member, with Assistant Public Works Director Michelle Tse and Public Works Manager Michelle Muller as the assigned alternate Board Members. Given that Ms. Figueroa is no longer an employee with the City, staff seeks to appoint a new Board Member.

RESOLUTION NO. 26:036 - APPOINTMENTS TO THE GWMA BOARD Page 2

DISCUSSION
Draft Resolution No. 26:036, which is attached to this report, would designate the Board Member and alternate Board Members to serve continuously across successive two-year terms, unless the governing body desires to change its designated Board member and/or alternate Board Member or must otherwise fill a vacancy.

Staff recommends the appointment of Interim Public Works Director Michelle Tse as the City’s Board Member and Public Works Manager Michelle Muller as an alternate Board Member to the GWMA Governing Board.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt Resolution No. 26:036 appointing Public Works Director Michelle Tse as the designated Board Member and Public Works Manager Michelle Muller as the alternate Board Member to represent the City on the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Power Authority Governing Board.
