PUBLIC HEARING:
1. Public Hearing – Zone Code Amendment No. 199 Amending Chapter 18.40, Land Use Regulations of Title 18, Zoning of the Pico Rivera Municipal Code and find the activity exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act per section 15060(C)(2) and 15061(B)(3).
Deputy Director Julia Gonzalez presented a report regarding proposed amendments to the City's land use regulations. She explained that the amendments establish new regulations for certain land uses that previously did not require a discretionary review process. For uses that historically operated by right, the proposed changes would require either a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) or a Precise Plan of Design (PPD). The purpose of the amendments is to regulate business concentration, ensure compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods, and mitigate potential impacts related to noise, aesthetics, and parking.
Commissioner Celiz asked whether any of the proposed land uses were included in the urgency ordinance establishing a moratorium on certain businesses, including checkcashing establishments.
Deputy Director Gonzalez responded that several of the proposed uses are subject to the existing moratorium and stated that she would provide additional information regarding those specific uses.
Commissioner Schmidt asked whether the ordinance established a cap on the number of such businesses that could operate within the City.
Monday, March 3, 2025
CONSENT ITEM 2
Planning Commission Minutes
March 3, 2025
Deputy Director Gonzalez explained that the City cannot impose a numerical limit on these uses; however, the proposed entitlement process would allow applications to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to ensure appropriate location and compatibility. She further noted that the ordinance is intended to protect key commercial areas from undesirable land uses, reduce the potential for blight, and encourage high-quality businesses that support the City's economic vitality. She added that the urgency ordinance adopted in 2023 temporarily prohibited many of these uses while permanent regulations were developed.
Deputy Director Gonzalez explained that the ordinance proposes two methods of regulation: Conditional Use Permits (CUPs), which require Planning Commission approval through a public hearing, and Precise Plans of Design (PPDs), which are administrative approvals issued by the Director of Community and Economic Development and may include conditions to mitigate potential impacts. She further noted that, while the City cannot limit the total number of these businesses, it may establish separation requirements to regulate their proximity to one another.
Examples of uses proposed to require a PPD include discount stores, automobile parts stores, barbershops, and beauty salons. Uses proposed to require a CUP include discount clothing stores and dollar stores. Deputy Director Gonzalez stated that the ordinance addresses 12 specific land uses, with automobile repair shops being the only use proposed to be prohibited outright. The remaining uses would require either a CUP or a PPD.
She also noted that implementation may be challenging because many businesses are classified under general retail categories for business licensing purposes, making specific uses difficult to identify unless they are reflected in the business name.
Staff recommended that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution recommending that the City Council approve the proposed ordinance, the updated land use table, and a finding that the Zone Code Amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Commissioner Celiz asked whether existing rest homes would be grandfathered under the new regulations.
Deputy Director Gonzalez confirmed that existing rest homes would be considered legal nonconforming uses and would be grandfathered.
Chairperson Rocha asked how staff determined which uses should require a CUP versus a PPD.
Planning Commission Minutes
March 3, 2025
Deputy Director Gonzalez responded that uses anticipated to have greater impacts would require a CUP and Planning Commission review, while uses with lesser impacts would be processed administratively through the PPD process.
Chairperson Rocha clarified that the primary uses requiring Planning Commission review would include discount clothing stores, dollar stores, shoe warehouses, and drug stores.
There being no further comments, Commissioner Schmidt moved to adopt the staff recommendation, seconded by Commissioner Celiz. Motion passed by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Celiz, Schmidt, Rocha

Director Betancourt reported that the item had been continued from August 18, 2025, meeting to allow staff time to review and respond to public comments received.
Director Betancourt summarized the comments, noting that one organization requested extending the amortization period for nonconforming uses from five years to ten years.
He also addressed comments regarding the proposed land use definitions, explaining that the update consolidates parcel hubs, fulfillment centers, and cross docks into a single "logistics" use while retaining "warehouse and distribution" as a separate use.
Although some comments requested that the uses be combined, staff concluded that they are distinct land uses and recommended no changes to the draft.
Director Betancourt also addressed comments regarding the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) addendum, stating that the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Monday, September 15, 2025
CONSENT ITEM 7

does not limit the use of a prior EIR based on its age and that the proposed Comprehensive Zoning Code Update would not create new significant impacts or substantially increase the severity of previously identified impacts analyzed in the 2014 General Plan EIR.
Director Betancourt then introduced Planner Estefany Franco, who introduced Dudek consultants Janet Rodriguez and Cathy Tang to present the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update.
Planner Franco explained that the proposed update modernizes Title 18 of the Municipal Code to align with the 2014 General Plan, comply with state law, streamline development procedures, and improve the organization and usability of the Zoning Code. She noted that the Code had not undergone a comprehensive update since 1993 and that the revisions reorganize the document, standardize terminology, consolidate regulations, establish objective design and performance standards, update zoning classifications, and eliminate obsolete overlay districts.
Planner Franco also summarized the public outreach process, which included fourteen study sessions, multiple community events, and two public surveys. The draft Zoning Code was available for public review from December 16, 2024, through February 18, 2025, during which ten formal comment letters were received.
Planner Franco concluded that the updated Zoning Code would improve clarity, consistency, and accessibility, streamline procedures, support sustainable development, and ensure compliance with state and federal law. She further stated that the environmental analysis determined that the proposed update would not result in any new significant impacts beyond those previously analyzed in the 2014 General Plan EIR.

He requested that the Planning Commission consider revisions to the draft or continue the item to allow additional collaboration and environmental review, if necessary.
Ryak Kelleher, representing CenterPoint, addressed the Planning Commission and expressed concern that the proposed Zoning Code Update could unintentionally require a Conditional Use Permit for the previously approved warehouse and distribution project located at 3900 Baybar Road. He requested that the Code include clarifying language to ensure that projects approved under a Precise Plan of Design prior to October 26, 2021, continue to be recognized as warehouse uses and not become subject to new entitlement or legal nonconforming use requirements.
Mihran Toumajan, representing NAIOP, the Commercial Real Estate Development Association, thanked the City for the opportunity to comment on the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update and acknowledged several revisions made in response to stakeholder input, including the extension of the amortization period for nonconforming uses and the allowance of certain incidental logistics activities within warehouse uses.
However, he stated that NAIOP remains concerned that parcel hubs, cross-docking facilities, and fulfillment centers are excluded from the warehouse classification and encouraged the Planning Commission to further consider those uses to support economic development and maintain the City's competitiveness.

Wednesday, April 15, 2026
Back to Agenda Outline
4.15.26 Sister City Commission Minutes
Director Betancourt responded that he would verify what plans or activities may already be in motion and would provide the Commission with an update via email.
Chairperson Perez asked Commissioner Ascencio for clarification regarding a proposed visit to Chapala in June.
Commissioner Ascencio responded that the trip is currently being organized by the Association.
Chairperson Perez sought additional clarification, asking whether the Association was proposing the visit to Chapala and confirming that nothing had been formally arranged.
He also inquired about the identity of Rocio.
Commissioner Ascencio confirmed that the proposed visit is being coordinated by the Association and stated that Rocio Cardenas will serve as the Association's president.
Commissioner Centeno and Chairperson Perez provided a brief update regarding their attendance at the Easter Food Drive held at St. Francis Xavier Church on April 4, 2026.
NEW BUSINESS: None
OLD BUSINESS:
1. Ordinance No. 1205
Chairperson Perez stated that Ordinance No. 1205 was adopted on March 24, 2026, and that the Sister City Commission will meet on a quarterly basis unless additional meetings are necessary to address specific matters.
Director Betancourt stated that, if there is a pressing need for Commission action or a public hearing, a special meeting can be coordinated.
Chairperson Perez asked how much advance notice staff would need to schedule a special meeting.
Director Betancourt responded that staff would require as much advance notice as possible to reserve the Council Chambers and prepare the agenda in coordination with the Chair of the Commission.
Commissioner Ascencio asked whether one or two weeks' notice would be sufficient.
Director Betancourt responded that staff would need a minimum of two to three weeks' notice to schedule a special meeting, as the Council Chambers may not be available with only one week's notice.
4.15.26 Sister City Commission Minutes
Commissioner Ascencio asked whether the Commission could meet informally without City staff present.
Director Betancourt responded that the Commission is welcome to coordinate fundraising efforts; however, no formal decisions or actions may be taken outside of a duly noticed public meeting.
Commissioner Centeno stated that it may be easier to continue holding monthly meetings and cancel them when there is no business, rather than trying to schedule special meetings on short notice. He added that the Commission is beginning to discuss fundraising efforts, Sister City initiatives, pamphlets, and summer events, and believes monthly meetings would help move those items forward.
Commissioner Ascencio agreed, stating that it is easier to cancel a meeting than to coordinate and schedule a special meeting.
Chairperson Perez stated that, during the first two years following the Commission's reestablishment after COVID-19, there was limited business to conduct. He noted that the Commission now has more information and opportunities to plan activities and expressed support for returning to monthly meetings, with cancellations if there is no business to address.
Director Betancourt responded that the Commission makes decisions during its public meetings, but much of the work to implement those decisions occurs outside of the meetings. He noted that the Commission already has the authority to coordinate fundraising efforts and other approved activities, and that meetings are primarily intended to formalize and report on those actions. He further stated that quarterly meetings were codified based on the level of activity observed over the past year and a half and that he would need to consult with the City Clerk regarding the process for scheduling additional meetings. He added that he would not recommend revisiting the recently adopted code amendment without first demonstrating a sustained increase in Commission activity.
Commissioner Centeno asked how the Commission could return to monthly meetings if activity increases in the future.
Director Betancourt responded that staff would first need to see evidence of increased activity and would share that information with the City Manager for further consideration.
2. Information provided to Commissioner via email March 19, 2026.
Chairperson Perez confirmed that all Commissioners received hardcopies of the items and stated that the only thing that he requested and did not receive is a roster of the Commissioners emails and phone numbers.
Director Betancourt stated he would send out the information to Chairperson Perez by tomorrow.
3. Approval of Membership to Sister City International
4.15.26 Sister City Commission Minutes
Director Betancourt stated that membership with Sister Cities International had been requested at the previous meeting and that the City has since paid the membership fee.
He further informed Chairperson Perez that the membership packet had been provided to him.
Chairperson Perez thanked Director Betancourt and stated that he has begun receiving communications from Sister Cities International, allowing the Commission to move forward with establishing relationships and pursuing available funding and grant opportunities.
Additionally, Chairperson Perez stated that there are several upcoming opportunities, particularly for youth engagement, and that he plans to attend the Sister Cities International 70th Anniversary event in Washington, D.C. He added that he would share information with the Commissioners should they wish to attend and noted that Sister Cities International also has Northern and Southern California regional organizations that he intends to explore further.
4. Next meetings scheduled for July 15, 2026, and October 21, 2026.
Chairperson Perez encouraged the Commissioners to notify either him or Judith if an item arises that may require Commission discussion or the scheduling of a meeting.

Subject: RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A JOB DESCRIPTION FOR A
FULL-TIME PARKS MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR
Recommendation:
1. Approve a resolution establishing a job description for the Parks Maintenance Supervisor.
Strategic Priority:
1 - Fiscal & Organizational Sustainability - Create a City government built to adapt to change.
Strategy:
1.5 Develop, retain, and acquire an effective team within the city.
Fiscal Impact:

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JULY 28, 2026
RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A JOB CLASSIFICATION FOR A FULL-TIME PARKS
MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR
Discussion:
The City of Pico Rivera (City) recognizes that the roles and abilities of employees have adapted to advancements in technology and the shift towards shared responsibilities.
Moreover, revising the job descriptions to accurately reflect the work being done, and the true responsibilities of the position, may help identify gaps or overlap in the workforce. A current, accurate job description is an excellent tool for managers to use as a guide for discussions with employees about performance excellence, deficiencies, needs for skills development, teamwork, organizational changes and/or career progress. It is also a transparency tool used to describe responsibilities and duties to potential applicants and future employees. The use of updated, descriptive, and accurate position classifications and titles is crucial in advertising job openings and conducting market studies to ensure that staff are recruited for the workforce demands of the City.
In the case of the Parks Maintenance Supervisor, the updated job description more accurately captures the specialized knowledge and oversight required to manage park infrastructure, landscape maintenance, irrigation systems, and public-use amenities. This classification also reflects the increasing complexity of compliance obligations related to environmental regulations, workplace safety standards, and asset management. Without these updates, there is a heightened risk of misalignment between assigned duties and documented responsibilities, which can lead to inefficiencies, increased liability exposure, and challenges in employee evaluation or disciplinary processes.
These updates establish a more defensible framework for human resources administration, including compliance with labor laws, reasonable accommodation requirements, and risk management practices. Accurate job descriptions are a foundational tool in mitigating employment-related claims, as they serve as the basis for hiring decisions, performance evaluations, and essential function determinations. For these reasons, the adoption of the updated Parks Maintenance Supervisor job description represents a prudent and necessary step in strengthening the City’s organizational effectiveness and governance.
Conclusion:
Staff recommend the City Council approve a resolution (Enclosure 1), adopting the job description (Exhibit A) for the full-time Parks Maintenance Supervisor position. The salary schedule (Exhibit B) for this position as well as the benefits will remain the same as the original “Supervisor” position.

The use of updated, descriptive, and accurate position classifications and titles is crucial in advertising job openings and conducting market studies to ensure that staff are recruited for the workforce demands of the City.
Maintaining a dedicated Customer Service Representative/Backflow Tester within the Pico Rivera Water Authority is essential to ensuring both regulatory compliance and highquality service delivery to residents and businesses. Backflow prevention is a critical component of protecting the public water supply from contamination caused by crossconnections. A certified backflow tester ensures that all required devices are tested, maintained, and documented in accordance with state and local regulations, safeguarding public health and minimizing the City’s exposure to regulatory penalties and liability.
In addition to the technical responsibilities associated with backflow testing, the customer service component of this position plays a vital role in maintaining effective communication between the Water Division and the community. Residents and businesses frequently require assistance with service requests, billing inquiries, compliance notifications, and water quality concerns. Having a knowledgeable staff member who can promptly address these issues enhances customer satisfaction, builds public trust, and improves overall operational efficiency within the department.
Furthermore, combining these functions into a single position promotes costeffectiveness and operational continuity. The employee develops specialized expertise in both regulatory compliance and customer interaction, allowing for streamlined coordination of backflow testing schedules, follow-ups, and enforcement actions. This integrated approach reduces delays, prevents service disruptions, and ensures that the City remains proactive in managing its water system infrastructure. Ultimately, this role supports the City of Pico Rivera’s commitment to providing safe, reliable water service while maintaining strong community relations and regulatory adherence.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JULY 28, 2026
INVITATION FROM THE CITY OF PUERTO VALLARTA, JALISCO, MEXICO, TO
ESTABLISH A SISTER CITY RELATIONSHIP
Background:
The Sister Cities concept is based on building long-term relationships between communities through direct citizen diplomacy and municipal cooperation. Sister City partnerships have historically served as a platform for cities to exchange knowledge, promote cultural appreciation, and create meaningful connections among residents.
The Pico Rivera Sister City Commission believes that a formal relationship with Puerto Vallarta would provide a valuable opportunity to celebrate shared cultural traditions while expanding opportunities for collaboration between two communities with strong Mexican heritage connections.
A Sister City relationship would also complement the City’s ongoing efforts to strengthen community engagement, support economic development, promote cultural programming, and enhance Pico Rivera’s regional and international presence.
The proposed action would not immediately commit the City to financial expenditures or contractual obligations. Rather, it would initiate a formal dialogue between the two municipalities to determine shared priorities, potential exchange opportunities, and the appropriate framework for establishing a Sister City agreement.
Discussion:
The Pico Rivera Sister City Commission was established to promote international understanding, cultural exchange, educational opportunities, and cooperative relationships between the City of Pico Rivera and municipalities throughout the world.
Through these partnerships, Sister Cities provide opportunities for communities to share best practices, strengthen cultural connections, encourage economic collaboration, and foster goodwill between residents.
The Sister City Commission has evaluated potential international partnerships and identified the City of Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico, as a municipality with strong cultural, economic, and community ties that align with Pico Rivera’s values and priorities.
Puerto Vallarta is a globally recognized coastal municipality located in the State of Jalisco, Mexico, with a rich cultural heritage, vibrant tourism economy, and a strong connection to Mexican traditions and arts. The City’s relationship with Mexico is particularly meaningful given Pico Rivera’s longstanding cultural identity, including its significant Mexican-American heritage and strong community connections with residents who maintain family, cultural, and economic ties throughout Mexico.
The establishment of a Sister City relationship with Puerto Vallarta would provide opportunities for mutual collaboration in areas including:
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JULY 28, 2026

ESTABLISH A SISTER CITY RELATIONSHIP
• Cultural and heritage exchanges;
• Youth and educational programs;
• Arts and community events;
• Tourism and economic development initiatives;
• Municipal best practices and professional exchanges;
• Environmental sustainability and community resilience initiatives; and • Opportunities for residents, businesses, and community organizations to develop international partnerships.
Environmental Review:
The proposed action is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), as it involves an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a resolution accepting the recommendation of the Pico Rivera Sister City Commission and authorize the Mayor to begin discussions toward establishing an official Sister City partnership with Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico that promotes cultural exchange, municipal cooperation, and long-term community connections.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JULY 28, 2026
FOURTH QUARTER TREASURER’S REPORT AND THE MONTHLY INVESTMENT TRANSACTION REPORT AS OF JUNE 30, 2026 – FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
As of June 30, 2026, the City’s cash and investment portfolios are fully compliant with the Investment Policy and Section 53601 of the California Government Code. In addition, the portfolios maintain sufficient cash flow from a combination of liquid and maturing securities, bank deposits, and income to meet the City’s expenditure requirements. The paragraphs below summarize the investment results for the fourth quarter.
Total Pooled Cash and Investments during the quarter were $155,332,477. The aggregate amount consisted of $3,135,889 in the City’s operating accounts with its banking partner, Commercial Bank of California (CBC), $39,731,900 with the CBC Insured Cash Sweep (ICS) Account, $76,621,546 in the State Treasurer’s Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), and $35,843,142 managed by Chandler Asset Management (Chandler). The City also had $920,423 held by various trustee accounts, all related to the City’s bond issues (1999 Water Revenue Bonds, etc.).
The 2018 Certificates of Participation, Series A, managed by Wilmington Trust, have an ending balance of $1,449,064, representing the remaining unspent proceeds. These funds have been invested in Money Market Funds to ensure both stable returns and liquidity.
The Pico Rivera Innovative Municipal Energy (PRIME) Enterprise Fund has two (2) bank accounts managed by River City Bank (RCB).

As of June 30, 2026, the Public Fund account had an ending balance of $1,026,302.
Chandler Asset Management - Managed Portfolio
The City entered into a discretionary investment advisory agreement in December 2017 with Chandler, a Securities and Exchange Commission-registered investment advisor, to manage a portion of the City’s portfolio in a disciplined, active manner that complies with the City's Investment Policy and stated objectives of safety, liquidity, and yield. After a detailed consultation with Chandler's investment team, the City selected the Limited Maturity Investment Strategy, benchmarked against the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) Bank of America (BofA) 1-3 Year US Treasury & Agency Index. The strategy invests in a well-diversified portfolio of high-quality fixed-income securities. To maintain compliance with the City's Investment Policy, Chandler continues to invest in securities that meet the guidelines established by the City's Investment Policy.
To ensure the portfolio's safety, investments with the highest credit quality are selected.
The Chandler Managed Portfolio consists primarily of Treasury Securities and debt issued by Federal Government-sponsored entities, commonly referred to as federal agency securities. Federal agency securities are widely regarded as among the safest in the global market. Two (2) of the government-sponsored agencies, the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JULY 28, 2026

The Portfolio Holdings Report (Table 1) reflects the types of security holdings in the City’s investment fund. The total portfolio value as of June 30, 2026, was $35,843,142, an increase of $175,552 from $35,667,590 as of March 31, 2026. In the period ending June 30, 2026, the portfolio held a diverse set of investments comprising eight (8) security types. The most significant security holding consisted of Treasury securities totaling $15,465,006. These Treasury securities are among the highest-quality debt instruments.
The Portfolio Holdings Report also provides the portfolio’s Par values (nominal value of a bond); Book yield (Internal Rate of Return); Book value (value of a security); Market YTM (long-term bond yield); Market value (amount for which a security can be sold on a given market); Accrued interest (interest earned); Total portfolio (Market value plus accrued interest); and finally, Modified Duration (bond sensitivity of price that may change in interest rates during duration).

The Investment Ratings chart (Chart 2) illustrates the investment grade of the portfolio’s holdings. Credit ratings help measure the overall quality and financial strength of the City’s investments. As the chart below demonstrates, 96.7% of the total portfolio consists of investments with credit ratings of “A” or higher. As of June 30, 2026, the portfolio experienced a slight decrease in this rating of 0.7% from March 31, 2026. Agency bonds and securities generally carry the same rating as the U.S. Government, which is currently rated Aa1 by Moody’s, and AA+ by both S&P and Fitch Ratings. Staff will continue to monitor and work with the City’s investment advisor to ensure the investment portfolio is sound.

The City’s portfolio remains highly rated, liquid, and well-positioned to withstand economic uncertainties. During the quarter, inflation and energy prices continued to influence the economy, largely due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, which affected global oil markets. While oil prices declined from their early June peak, they remained volatile amid diplomatic efforts to ease tensions. Inflation remained elevated, driven in part by energy price fluctuations, while the labor market continued to perform well, with steady job growth and relatively low unemployment.
At its June meeting, the Federal Reserve voted unanimously to keep its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 3.50%-3.75%. The Federal Reserve also indicated that, based on current economic conditions, interest rates are likely to remain above its 2% target longer, with some policymakers expecting rates could increase later this year rather than decrease. Reflecting these expectations, shorter-term U.S. Treasury yields increased slightly during the quarter, while longer-term yields remained relatively stable.
Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF)
The Pico Rivera Pooled Investment Portfolio is invested in LAIF to manage liquidity while earning a competitive return. The LAIF market value was $75,878,023 as of March 31, 2026, and $76,621,546 as of June 30, 2026. The balance increased by $743,523 of interest income.
The City participates in the State of California LAIF portfolio program. The program involves local agencies participating in an extensive portfolio, utilizing the State Treasurer's Office for investments at no additional cost to taxpayers. The Local Investment Advisory Board (LIAB) provides oversight for LAIF.
LAIF administrative costs are assessed quarterly and have historically ranged between approximately 0.25% and 0.30% of quarterly earnings. The California Government Code limits administrative costs to no more than 5% of the fund's quarterly earnings. The characteristics of the LAIF portfolio reflect minimal credit risk and safety in investing in high-quality securities. Statutes protect LAIF funds and are not borrowable.
Graph 1 compares LAIF to the City’s portfolio managed by Chandler, highlighting differences in investment security types and portfolio duration. Whereas LAIF takes a more conservative approach and focuses on securities with shorter average maturity, LAIF and Chandler follow similar investment guidelines for safety, liquidity, and return.

Graph 1 – LAIF and CAM from
June 2019 through June 2026
Staff continuously monitors the City’s investment portfolio and performance. As shown in Graph 1 above, the yield of the Chandler-managed portfolio has historically outperformed the LAIF portfolio, except during the inversion of the market yield curve from 2022 through 2024. Following recent Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2025, investments with longer weighted-average maturities, such as the Chandler-managed portfolio, have remained relatively stable. In contrast, investments with shorter weighted-average maturities, such as the LAIF portfolio, have experienced a faster decline in yield. As a result, the Chandler portfolio once again outperformed the LAIF portfolio this quarter in terms of yield. As of June 30, 2026, the LAIF yield was 3.82%, and the Chandler portfolio purchase yield was 4.07%. The Chandler-managed portfolio's yield rates are also locked in for an extended period through reinvestment and the purchase of longer-duration securities. During the fourth quarter of this fiscal year, the Chandler-managed portfolio reinvested $3.68 million in investment income and maturing securities at an average purchase yield of 4.30%.

fluctuations. Following this research, the City established an ICS account with its banking partner, CBC, in August 2023. This investment account aligns with the City’s commitment to prioritizing safety by reducing credit risk and reinforcing safety by placing operational funds in short-term securities. The account also enhances the City’s liquidity, providing same-day liquidity to meet its short-term obligations and capitalize on current interest rates while safeguarding the City’s long-term investments.
As of June 30, 2026, the ICS account had an ending balance of $39,731,900, up from $27,795,563 as of March 31, 2026. The $11.9 million increase is primarily attributable to net transfers from the City’s operating bank account. During the fourth quarter, the City experienced positive net cash flow due to timing differences between cash receipts and disbursements, enabling the strategic transfer of excess liquidity into the ICS account to take advantage of its higher yield and maximize earnings on idle cash while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet short-term operational needs. While the cash balance remains strong, the City anticipates significant cash outflows during FY 2026-27 as construction begins on several major Capital Improvement Program projects, including the Smith Park Aquatic Center and the Pavement Management Plan.
Staff will continue to closely monitor cash flow activity to ensure adequate liquidity and effective cash management throughout the fiscal year.
Monthly Investment Transaction Report
Per the City’s Investment Policy approved by the City Council on April 14, 2026, the City Treasurer submits a monthly investment transaction report to the City Council within 45 days of the end of the reporting period in accordance with Section 53607 of the California Government Code.
The monthly investment transaction summary provides the City Council with an update on the City’s monthly transactions for the City’s investment portfolio for the month ending June 30, 2026. The statements enclosed include transactions of the City’s investments with LAIF, Chandler, and Commercial Bank of California (Enclosures 2, 3, and 4).
Conclusion:
All investments are maintained in accordance with Section 53601 of the California Government Code and the City’s Investment Policy for FY 2025-26. The City Treasurer/Director of Administrative Services certifies that the funds are invested to provide sufficient cash flow for a period of six (6) months. Staff recommends receiving and filing the Treasurer’s Report for the quarter ending June 30, 2026, which represents balances and activities for the fourth quarter (April through June) of FY 2025-26 and the Treasurer’s Monthly Investment Transaction Report as of June 30, 2026.

No additional appropriations are required at this time.
9 Back to Agenda Outline
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JULY 28, 2026
TREE MAINTENANCE SERVICES WITH WEST COAST ARBORISTS, INC.
Background:
Based on a 2020 tree inventory, the City of Pico Rivera (City) has approximately 12,500 street and parkway trees, comprising its urban forestry, with an estimated value of $36,500,000. Trees provide many benefits, including reduced pollution, energy conservation, economic stability, beautification, and increased property values.
The Public Works Department oversees the City’s overall tree maintenance operations with the support of a professional contractor for routine tree trimming services, service request trimming, tree removal and replacement, and emergency response. Currently, trees are trimmed on a scheduled, grid-based cycle. Each tree in the City is trimmed at least once every three (3) years.
Discussion:
WCA was awarded a contract on August 10, 2021, for tree maintenance services, which is set to expire on August 10, 2026. Staff discovered that the City of Rosemead had recently concluded a procurement process for the same services. In April 2025, the City of Rosemead issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for citywide tree maintenance services. A total of eight (8) proposals were received, and upon evaluation of the proposals, WCA was selected as the contractor. The City of Rosemead City Council awarded WCA a maintenance services agreement on December 9, 2025. Staff reviewed the pricing and services obtained by the City of Rosemead and found it comparable to the City’s current contract. In addition, staff found that the costs for some of the services were lower than our current rates. To obtain the best value for the City and eliminate the risk of higher bids, staff investigated using the City of Rosemead’s procurement process.
The Pico Rivera Municipal Code Section 3.20.030(c)(d) permits the purchase to be executed by, through, or in collaboration with another public agency that conducts the same procurement in accordance with applicable state or local regulations governing such purchases. Furthermore, such procurements utilizing a piggyback purchase ensure that goods and services are procured in compliance with public purchasing regulations, are conducted through competitive solicitation, and that the City obtains the most advantageous pricing, while streamlining the procurement process.
Staff communicated with WCA representatives regarding the potential extension of the City of Rosemead’s pricing structure to the City. WCA representatives demonstrated a willingness to collaborate and extend the existing pricing for the services desired by the City. These services primarily include a three (3) year grid-based trimming cycle, specialty maintenance and service requests, emergency response, arborist assessment services, tree removals and replacements, among others.
In addition to extending the City of Rosemead’s pricing to the City, WCA also proposed a new tree inventory assessment at no cost to the City, which typically costs approximately $92,000 for a similar-sized city. Since the most recent tree physical inventory, new trees CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JULY 28, 2026
TREE MAINTENANCE SERVICES WITH WEST COAST ARBORISTS, INC.
have been planted throughout the city as part of recent tree-planting initiatives and median-island projects. The tree inventory assessment will also include trees in parks that were not previously documented. The assessment process involves visiting each tree site and tagging each tree using a Geographic Information System. Maintaining an up-todate tree inventory is an invaluable tool that reduces liability, enhances service delivery, strengthens budget requests, and facilitates long-term maintenance planning, thereby reducing the need for emergency responses.
The chart below presents the projected costs of the essential service provided by WCA, specifically grid-based tree trimming, over the three-year agreement period. The annual price varies from year to year since the total number of trees differs across grids.
The last column highlights the price differential in comparison to the City’s existing contract:
Year of Service Total Annual Grid Tree Trimming
Cost
Cost difference compared to
current rates
Year 1 $405,160 +0.72%
Year 2 $390,414 +1.44%
Year 3 $415,274 +0.75%
Grid Tree Trimming
Grand Total
$1,210,848
In conjunction with grid-based tree trimming services, which include tree trimming in City parks, the City allocates contingency funds designated for use at the City's discretion for special tree trimming requests, tree removals, tree replacements, and emergency response services. Based on historical expenditure data, the recommended annual allocation for these services is approximately $160,000, excluding grid-based tree trimming. The chart below presents the total projected annual expenditure and the grand total for all of WCA services.
Year of Service WCA Annual Amount
Year 1 $565,160
Year 2 $550,414
Year 3 $575,326
Grand Total for 3-years $1,690,900
The services and work rendered by WCA have consistently demonstrated a high standard of quality. WCA has served as a valuable contractor to the City, providing emergency support services, assisting with Capital Improvement Projects, and tailoring its services to the specific needs of the City of Pico Rivera. Ensuring the continuity of tree maintenance services enhances tree care and promotes uniformity in the City’s urban forestry management.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JULY 28, 2026
TREE MAINTENANCE SERVICES WITH WEST COAST ARBORISTS, INC.
On June 9, 2026, staff scheduled the Award of Contract to WCA by way of piggybacking on the City of Rosemead’s procurement process. The City Council had additional questions regarding the approach of procuring the services through piggybacking and made a motion directing staff to explore the possibility of procurement via an RFP and to negotiate a month-to-month agreement with WCA.
Subsequently, on July 14, 2026, the Public Works Director, at City Council request, presented an overview of the piggyback procurement method, including its process and legal considerations, and explained how its use would serve the City’s best interests in the WCA contract. Following the presentation, the City Council directed staff to return at the next Regular City Council meeting to consider rescinding its previous action and award a piggyback contract to WCA for tree maintenance services.
Conclusion:
Staff recommend rescinding the previous motion made by City Council on June 9, 2026, and reconsider awarding a contract to West Coast Arborists Inc. for three (3) years, with a two (2) one-year renewal option, for tree maintenance services in a not-to-exceed amount of $1,690,900. In addition, authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Work, Contractor will maintain insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below.
Contractor will use existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage does not meet the requirements set forth here, Contractor agrees to amend, supplement or endorse the existing coverage to do so.
Contractor acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amount of coverage required. Any insurance proceeds available to City in excess of the limits and coverage required in this agreement and which is applicable to a given loss, will be available to City.
Contractor shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
Commercial General Liability Insurance: Contractor shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence, $4,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended.
Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted.
Business Auto Coverage on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 including symbol 1 (Any Auto) or the exact equivalent. Limits are subject to review, but in no event to be less that $1,000,000 combined single limit per accident. If Contractor owns no vehicles, this requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement to the general liability policy described above. If Contractor or Contractor employees will use personal autos in any way on this project, Contractor shall provide evidence of personal auto liability coverage for each such person.
Workers Compensation on a state-approved policy form providing statutory benefits as required by law with employer’s liability limits no less than $1,000,000 per accident or disease.
Contractor shall submit to Agency, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of Agency, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers.
Excess or Umbrella Liability Insurance (Over Primary) if used to meet limit requirements, shall provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying coverages. Contractor shall obtain and maintain an umbrella or excess liability insurance policy with limits that will provide bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability coverage at least as broad as the primary coverages set forth above, including commercial general liability, automobile liability, and employer’s liability. Such policy or policies shall include the following terms and conditions:
• A drop down feature requiring the policy to respond if any primary insurance that would otherwise have applied proves to be uncollectible in whole or in part for any Attachment B - Page 15 of 19
reason;
• Pay on behalf of wording as opposed to reimbursement; • Concurrency of effective dates with primary policies; and • Policies shall “follow form” to the underlying primary policies. • Insureds under primary policies shall also be insureds under the umbrella or excess policies.
Professional Liability or Errors and Omissions Insurance as appropriate shall be written on a policy form coverage specifically designed to protect against acts, errors or omissions of the Contractor and “Covered Professional Services” as designated in the policy must specifically include work performed under this agreement. The policy limit shall be no less than $1,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate. The policy must “pay on behalf of” the insured and must include a provision establishing the insurer’s duty to defend. The policy retroactive date shall be on or before the effective date of this agreement.
Requirements not limiting: Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the Agency requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the Agency.
Acceptable insurers: All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the Agency’s Risk Manager.
General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Contractor.
Contractor and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Contractor:
1. Contractor agrees to have its insurer endorse the third-party general liability coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials, employees and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010. Contractor also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall prohibit Contractor, or Contractor’s employees, or agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Contractor agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
Attachment B - Page 16 of 19
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or applicable to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to eliminate so-called “third party action over” claims, including any exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Contractor shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect City’s protection without City’s prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to Contractor ‘s general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contractor or deducted from sums due Contractor, at City option.
8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to City of any cancellation of coverage. Contractor agrees to require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will “endeavor” (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the certificate.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage required to be provided by Contractor or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first and on a primary, noncontributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self-insurance available to City.
10.Contractor agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section.
Attachment B - Page 17 of 19
Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
11.Contractor agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by this agreement to self-insure its obligations to City. If Contractor’s existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or selfinsured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the Contractor, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.
12.The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contractor ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Contractor, the City will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City.
13.For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement.
14.Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Contractor of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
15.Contractor will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City executes a written statement to that effect.
16.Contractor shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from Contractor’s insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five days of the expiration of the coverages.
17.The provisions of any workers’ compensation or similar act will not limit the obligations of Contractor under this agreement. Contractor expressly agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City, its employees, officials and agents.
Attachment B - Page 18 of 19
18.Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive.
19.These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties here to be interpreted as such.
20.The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section.
21.Contractor agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or Contractor for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
Contractor agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Contractor arising out of the work performed under this agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Work, Contractor will maintain insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. Contractor will use existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage does not meet the requirements set forth here, Contractor agrees to amend, supplement or endorse the existing coverage to do so. Contractor acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amount of coverage required. Any insurance proceeds available to City in excess of the limits and coverage required in this agreement and which is applicable to a given loss, will be available to City.
Contractor shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
Commercial General Liability Insurance: Contractor shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended. Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted.
Business Auto Coverage on ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 including symbol 1 (Any Auto) or the exact equivalent. Limits are subject to review, but in no event to be less that $1,000,000 combined single limit per accident. If Contractor owns no vehicles, this requirement may be satisfied by a non-owned auto endorsement to the general liability policy described above. If Contractor or Contractor employees will use personal autos in any way on this project, Contractor shall provide evidence of personal auto liability coverage for each such person.
Workers Compensation on a state-approved policy form providing statutory benefits as required by law with employer’s liability limits no less than $1,000,000 per accident or disease.
Contractor shall submit to Agency, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of Agency, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers.
Excess or Umbrella Liability Insurance (Over Primary) if used to meet limit requirements, shall provide coverage at least as broad as specified for the underlying coverages.
Contractor shall obtain and maintain an umbrella or excess liability insurance policy with limits that will provide bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability coverage at least as broad as the primary coverages set forth above, including commercial general liability, automobile liability, and employer’s liability. Such policy or policies shall include the following terms and conditions:
• A drop down feature requiring the policy to respond if any primary insurance that would otherwise have applied proves to be uncollectible in whole or in part for any D-2
reason;
• Pay on behalf of wording as opposed to reimbursement; • Concurrency of effective dates with primary policies; and • Policies shall “follow form” to the underlying primary policies. • Insureds under primary policies shall also be insureds under the umbrella or excess policies.
Professional Liability or Errors and Omissions Insurance as appropriate shall be written on a policy form coverage specifically designed to protect against acts, errors or omissions of the Contractor and “Covered Professional Services” as designated in the policy must specifically include work performed under this agreement. The policy limit shall be no less than $1,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate. The policy must “pay on behalf of” the insured and must include a provision establishing the insurer’s duty to defend. The policy retroactive date shall be on or before the effective date of this agreement.
Requirements not limiting: Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the Agency requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the Agency.
Acceptable insurers: All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the Agency’s Risk Manager.
General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Contractor.
Contractor and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Contractor:
1. Contractor agrees to have its insurer endorse the third-party general liability coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials, employees and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010. Contractor also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall prohibit Contractor, or Contractor’s employees, or agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Contractor agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
D-3
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or applicable to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to eliminate so-called “third party action over” claims, including any exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Contractor shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect City’s protection without City’s prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to Contractor ‘s general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Contractor or deducted from sums due Contractor, at City option.
8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to City of any cancellation of coverage. Contractor agrees to require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will “endeavor” (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the certificate.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage required to be provided by Contractor or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first and on a primary, noncontributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self-insurance available to City.
10.Contractor agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Contractor, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section.
D-4
Contractor agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
11.Contractor agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by this agreement to self-insure its obligations to City. If Contractor’s existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or selfinsured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the Contractor, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.
12.The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contractor ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Contractor, the City will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City.
13.For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement.
14.Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Contractor of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard.
15.Contractor will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City executes a written statement to that effect.
16.Contractor shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from Contractor’s insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five days of the expiration of the coverages.
17.The provisions of any workers’ compensation or similar act will not limit the obligations of Contractor under this agreement. Contractor expressly agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City, its employees, officials and agents.
D-5
18.Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive.
19.These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties here to be interpreted as such.
20.The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section.
21.Contractor agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or Contractor for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
Contractor agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Contractor arising out of the work performed under this agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City.
