PRIDE MONTH
June 2025
the uprising at the Stonewall Inn in June 1969, sparked a liberation movement to resist harassment and persecution to which lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) Americans were commonly subjected, marking the beginning of a movement to outlaw discriminatory laws and practices against LGBTQ+ Americans— a call to action that continues to inspire us to live up to our Nation’s promise of equality, liberty, and justice for all. historic United States Supreme Court rulings in recent years have struck down regressive laws, affirmed the right to marriage equality, and secured workplace protections for LGBTQ+ individuals in every State and Territory;
Pride Month is a time to recognize the valuable contributions of the LGBTQ+ individuals across our country, recall the trials the LGBTQ+ community has endured and rejoice in the triumphs of trailblazing individuals who have bravely fought — and continue to fight — for full equality. we celebrate the progress we have made in creating a community more inclusive and accepting of gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and the transgender while recognizing that LGBTQ+ individuals continue to suffer discrimination, hostility and exclusion at almost every level of society, including in areas of housing, employment, healthcare, family law, immigration, religious, and marriage equality; each day, more lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people are elected to public offices across the country, serve in the United States Armed Forces, occupy the highest positions in business, participate in religious and spiritual communities, and serve as role models for all. our Nation continues to witness a tragic spike in violence against transgender women of color. LGBTQ+ individuals — especially youth who defy sex or gender norms — face bullying and harassment in educational settings and are at a disproportionate risk of self-harm and death by suicide; society at large increasingly supports LGBTQ+ equality, it is essential to acknowledge that the need for multi-cultural education and awareness remains vital to end discrimination and prejudice; to achieve a just and fair society, we must not only respect one another, but also appreciate our differences, recognize the common good in all of us, and celebrate diversity as one of our greatest strengths;
all people deserve to live with dignity and respect, free from fear and violence, and protected against discrimination, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation and we understand the unique challenges faced by sexual and gender minorities – especially transgender and gender non-conforming individuals – and are taking steps to address them; the City of San Fernando commends the bravery and courage of all those in the LGBTQ+ community that face adversity and various forms of violence. Continued opposition and oppression against LGBTQ+, especially LGBTQ+ black, indigenous, Latinx and people of color make it important for neighbors to stand up and show solidarity and support for our LGBTQ+ residents and the community at large; in the four decades since the Stonewall Riots, civil rights for LGBTQ+ people have grown substantially, and LGBTQ+ pride celebrations have taken place around the country every June. on behalf of the City of San Fernando and all of the residents thereof, proclaims June 2025, and every June thereafter, as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Pride Month (LGBTQ+) in the City of San Fernando and call upon all residents to eliminate prejudice everywhere it exists, to celebrate the great diversity of our city, and proclaim support for efforts, including raising the Pride Progress Flag at City Hall, that increase awareness, acceptance, and inclusion of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer individuals.

AGENDA REPORT
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DEPARTMENT 117 MACNEIL STREET, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340 (818) 898-7307 WWW.SFCITY.ORG REVIEW: ☒ Finance Director ☒ Deputy City Manager ☐ City Manager To: Mayor Mary Mendoza and Councilmembers
From: Nick Kimball, City Manager
By: Erica D. Melton, Director of Administrative Services
Date: June 2, 2025
Subject: Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Approving the Warrant Register RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-061 (Attachment “A”) approving the Warrant Register.
BACKGROUND:
For each City Council meeting the Finance Department prepares a Warrant Register for Council approval. The Register includes all recommended payments for the City. Checks, other than special checks, generally are not released until after the Council approves the Register. The exceptions are for early releases to avoid penalties and interest, excessive delays and in all other circumstances favorable to the City to do so. Special checks are those payments required to be issued between Council meetings such as insurance premiums and tax deposits. Staff reviews requests for expenditures for budgetary approval and then prepares a Warrant Register for Council approval and or ratification. Items such as payroll withholding tax deposits do not require budget approval.
The Director of Administrative Services/City Treasurer hereby certifies that all requests for expenditures have been signed by the department head, or designee, receiving the merchandise or services thereby stating that the items or services have been received and that the resulting expenditure is appropriate. The Director of Administrative Services/City Treasurer hereby certifies that each warrant has been reviewed for completeness and that sufficient funds are available for payment of the warrant register.

Title: East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit Project Description: The East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit Project (ESFVLRT) (formerly the East San Fernando Valley Transit Corridor Project) is a transit project constructing a light rail line on the east side of the San Fernando Valley to improve connections and access to crucial destinations in the East and Northeast San Fernando Valley. The project is being considered in two (2) phases. Phase 1 is a 6.7-mile at-grade alignment that includes 11 new transit stations along Van Nuys Boulevard, connecting the Orange Line in Sherman Oaks to San Fernando Boulevard in Pacoima. Phase 2 is a 2.5-mile segment running from the terminus of Phase 1 at San Fernando Road/Van Nuys Boulevard in Pacoima to the Sylmar/San Fernando Metrolink Station. Metro is conducting a supplemental study of the Phase 2 segment throughout 2024 to consider additional design options. Funding for the project is provided through Measure R and Measure M.
Status: Phase 1 engineering design has been completed, a Progressive Design Build (PBD) contract has been awarded, and construction commenced earlier this year on Phase 1 of the project along Van Nuys Boulevard. The tentative completion date for Phase 1 is 2031. Metro is currently completing additional safety and design studies for Phase 2 (the San Fernando segment) of the project.

Title: City Facility Condition Assessment Report
Description: The Facilities Condition Assessment (FCA) report is a comprehensive evaluation of the current condition of all city owned facilities (buildings).This report is used to assess the physical state of the facilities, identify deficiencies, and estimate the costs associated with repairs, maintenance, and capital improvements. Key Components of a Facilities Condition Assessment Report: Inventory of Assets: A detailed list of all the assets being assessed, including buildings, infrastructure, and equipment. Visual Inspections: On-site inspections of the facilities to assess the condition of structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and other building systems. Condition Ratings: Assigning condition ratings or scores to different components based on their current state, typically ranging from “excellent” to “poor.” Deficiency Identification:
Identifying and documenting deficiencies or issues that need to be addressed, such as structural damage, outdated systems, or safety hazards. Cost Estimates: Providing cost estimates for the repairs, replacements, and improvements needed to bring the facilities up to desired standards or maintain their current state. Prioritization: Recommendations for prioritizing repairs and maintenance based on factors like safety, regulatory compliance, and potential impact on operations. Life Cycle Analysis: Analyzing the expected remaining useful life of building systems and components to plan for future replacements or upgrades. Recommendations: Strategic recommendations for maintaining, repairing, or upgrading the facilities, including short-term and long-term plans. Facility Condition Index (FCI): A metric often included in the report that provides a snapshot of the overall condition of the facility. It is usually calculated by dividing the total cost of repairs by the replacement cost of the facility.
The purpose of the FCA report includes; Strategic Planning: Helps organizations plan and budget for maintenance, repairs, and capital improvements over time. Resource Allocation: Assists in allocating resources more effectively by identifying priority areas. Risk Management: Identifies potential risks related to the physical condition of the facilities that could affect safety, compliance, or operations.

Title: Residential Water Service Shut Off Policy
Description: On July 15, 2024, the City Council approved the Discontinuation of Residential Water Services for Non-Payment Policy as required by Senate Bill 998 (SB 998) and Senate Bill 3 (SB 3) which will take effect January 1, 2025. On March 11, 2025 staff began to deliver 7-day shut off notices to delinquent accounts exceeding 90 day due dates. In an effort to help the customers get familiar with the new process, staff will not shut off water to impacted consumers until April 7, 2025. This will give customers ample time to come to City hall to sign up for payment arrangements plans and or clear their balances. City Council also moved to direct staff to return at a future meeting with guidance and recommendations regarding the City’s ability to collect delinquent sums on the tax roll similar to the manner in which delinquent trash sums are also collected.
Status: Staff has conferred with the City Attorney to research this item to analyze a) if assessments are allowable for residential water services due to non-payment and b) the pros/cons of this process versus a water shut-off process. Preliminarily, we were advised as follows:
1) Charges for water consumption are property related fees and charges within the meaning of Proposition 218 (codified under Article XIIID of the California Constitution); 2) As such, an ordinance or resolution establishing or increasing water rate charges requires the conduct of a so-called “majority protest” public hearing which requires the issuance of a written notice to water customers no less than 45 days from the date of the hearing; and
June 2, 2025 CC Special & Regular Mtg Page 91 of 314
Receive and File Status Updates for Enhancements, Projects, and City Council Priorities
3) In order to preserve the ability to collect delinquent water charges on the tax roll, the City, as part of the majority protest approval process, must send notice to the owners of real property parcels that receive water service, even if the property owner is not the water customer (e.g., where the water customer is a tenant and not the owner affect parcel). (See Govt. Code Section 53755(a)(3) and Health & Safety Code Sections 5471, 5473 and 5473a). If the City did not provide such notice when it last conducted a majority protest hearing setting its current water rates, it would require the initiation of a new majority protest process in which such notice was provided to property owners (not just customers) for the City to avail itself of the right to collect delinquent charges on the tax roll.
Staff is continuing to work with the City Attorney and additionally in process of surveying other municipal operations to illustrate use of assessments versus water shut-off process for residential water services due to non-payment.
Next City Council Action: At the January 6, 2024 City Council meeting, the City Council directed staff to move forward as previously directed by City Council regarding the water service shutoff policy and to provide an update on outstanding delinquencies during consideration of the Water and Sewer Fee Study and the Prop 218 process, to occur within approximately one (1) year.
Tentative Completion Date: Follow up to be provided in concert with the Water and Sewer Fee Study and Prop 218 Process, anticipated to occur by January 2026 or sooner. On January 21, 2025, the City Council approved a contract with Robert D Niehaus, Inc. for the Water and Sewer Rate Study.

Receive and File Status Updates for Enhancements, Projects, and City Council Priorities
Status: On October 7, 2024, the City Council awarded a contract to IPS Group Inc. to replace coinoperated parking meters in the San Fernando Mall and Civic Center areas. The City received confirmation for the Meter installation to take place the third week of March. Two weeks prior to the installation, a staff member from Public Works passed out a notice to all businesses in the San Fernando Mall.
The installation of the Smart Meters took place between March 17 and March 19. In total, 91 smart meters were deployed. This project replaced 72 coin meters in the San Fernando Mall between Brand Boulevard and Kalisher Street, with the remaining 19 smart meters installed around the Civic Center along Newton Street and Fourth Street. The meters were successfully installed with assistance from an IPS technician, Public Works personnel, and Community Service Officers (CSOs). This marked the completion of phase two of the project.
Responsibility for parking meter maintenance transitioned from the Water Department to the Police Department's Parking Enforcement Division. Water personnel trained Parking Enforcement officers (CSOs) in basic meter troubleshooting, while Public Works coordinated additional training with IPS technicians on the company’s data management and enforcement software. Going forward, the Public Works department will be responsible for the contract administration and financial tracking of the meters. The Police Department will be in charge of the ordering of supplies, enforcement, collections, and maintenance.
Additionally, approximately 16 parking meters citywide were identified as noncompliant with California’s AB413, also known as the Day Lighting Law, which prohibits parking within 20 feet of a crosswalk, whether marked or unmarked. A Day Lighting Task Force consisting of Public Works and Police Department personnel is leading the law’s implementation. This includes removing noncompliant meters, grinding down parking stalls, conducting public education, and enforcing parking regulations.
Recent actions include the beginning of the project’s third phase. This has consisted of the removal of 17 non-compliant daylighting meters. Future actions include the grinding down of parking stalls and the painting of red curbs at key intersections in compliance with California’s day lighting law. Additionally, the purchase of new smart meters to complete the Mall area and the Civic Center.

Description: During the FY 2024-2025 Budget Process, the City Council approved a recurring budget enhancement of $40,000 for a Police Corporal Program to support the Department's succession planning. Additionally, the City Council approved a one-time enhancement of $15,000 to boost recruitment efforts (including background investigations, polygraphs, psychological evaluations) aimed at filling personnel vacancies.
Status: Currently 31 sworn police officer positions are filled, with two (2) officers currently in field training. The previous list of potential applicants was exhausted and the Police Officer position was opened back up to the public on February 6, 2025. Staff is currently testing the applicants using the PELLETB.
Candidates for the Commander position have completed the recruiting and testing process. One (1) Commander promotion was made and the second promotion will be forthcoming. With the open Sergeant position created by the Commander promotion, testing is under way for Sergeant promotions in order to establish an eligibility list.
The job specification for the Police Sergeant and Police Corporal positions were reviewed and approved by City Council on April 21, 2025.

Title: Mental Health Clinician Program
Description: This program will provide comprehensive mental health services to address crises related to mental health disorders, substance abuse, and homelessness. The initiative includes staffing mental health professionals who will accompany officers to provide specialized assistance in handling mental health crises, and enhancing overall public safety efforts.
The City’s partnership with Hope the Mission includes a 10-month contract to provide these services, with a total program budget of $512,165. This funding covers clinician services, homeless outreach, marketing, and transportation costs.
Status: On December 4, 2023, the City Council accepted Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Grant funds in the amount of $757,583 for a Mental Health Clinician Program. On October 21, 2024, the City Council approved a contract with Hope the Mission (HTM) for de-escalation training for officers, crisis intervention support during calls for service, case follow-up, and community engagement to raise awareness of mental health resources. The Department has worked with Hope the Mission to solidify partnership protocols. Training on protocols will begin the week of February 3, 2025.
A Hope the Mission representative attended the February 3, 2025 City Council meeting and provided an overview of the objectives for the Mental Health Clinician Program. Representatives from the organization will return in March to introduce the Mental Health Clinicians who will be working with the program.
Next City Council Action: No additional City Council action is required.

Title: UASI EOC 2023
Description: The San Fernando Police Department is enhancing its Emergency Operations Center through the 2023 Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) Grant, a federal program under the Department of Homeland Security aimed at strengthening local communities against potential threats. Grant-funded activities are restricted to UASI National Priorities, including the protection of soft targets and crowded places. These improvements include information technology upgrades and equipment procurement to best serve the community during emergencies.
Status: On April 8, 2024, the City was granted a sub-award through the Department of Homeland Security from the City of Los Angeles for information technology upgrades to the Emergency Operations Center. The $23,000 grant will allow for critical upgrades to the EOC. As the EOC is the central hub for operations during all critical incidents, these upgrades will ensure timely responses and coordination during events.

Finance.
Title: Enterprise Resource Planning Software (Finance System) Description: The City’s current financial system, Tyler Eden, will no longer be supported effective March 2027. In preparation, Staff will focus on awarding a professional services agreement and initiating implementation for replacement of the Project goals for Phase I of this transition will focus primarily on development of General Ledger – Financials and data migration. Through the Adopted Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Budget, the City Council approved funding for system replacement for $100,000 towards implementation expenses and $40,000 in ongoing software subscription costs.
Status: Staff held initial demonstrations with three (3) software vendors specializing in municipal government financial systems in June and July. Based on evaluations, two (2) vendors were invited to present onsite in August and September. The City Council approved a contract for award of software and implementation services with Tyler Technologies ERP at the November 18, 2024 meeting. Staff conducted a project kick off call with Tyler Technologies conducted on March 19, 2025, which identified the project timeline, resources needed on both the City and vendor’s side, as well as review of the multi-phased implementation. The City’s test environment deployment has been completed, and regular weekly meetings will be held to provide project status updates, identify tasks, action items, as well as deliverables, and maintain project timelines and schedules.
Next City Council Action: Additional hardware may be required compatible with the new software system (e.g. AP/Payroll check printer, check scanner/receipt printer, cashiering drawers, barcode scanners, etc.). Staff will include resource needs through the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget process.
Tentative Completion Date: The testing environment for the new system has been deployed and initial project implementation meetings scheduled with an official project kickoff scheduled to begin April 2025. Implementation time is anticipated to take up to 24 months across three (3) phases: Phase 1 – Financials; Phase 2 – Utility Billing; and Phase 3 – Human Resources/Payroll.
Tyler Technologies will stop supporting the existing financial software on March 1, 2027, so it is critical that City Staff stay ahead of the deadline for full completion of the project.

AGENDA REPORT
ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT 117 MACNEIL ST, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340 (818) 898-1202 WWW.SFCITY.ORG REVIEW: ☒ Finance Director ☒ Deputy City Manager ☐ City Manager To: Mayor Mary Mendoza and Councilmembers
From: Nick Kimball, City Manager
By: Will Pettener, Assistant to the City Manager
Date: June 2, 2025
Subject: Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Approving a Permit Payment Policy RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
a. Adopt Resolution No. 8385 (Attachment “A”), approving updates to City Policies and Procedures to include the addition of a Permit Payment Policy; and b. Authorize the City Manager to take related actions to execute and implement the updated policies and procedures.
BACKGROUND:
1. On July 1, 2024, City Council adopted the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025 Budget which included review and update of City policies and procedures as part of the work plan for the Administrative Services Department. Staff has identified a number of City Council and Administrative Policies to update over the coming months.
2. On May 5, 2025, the City Council approved the first set of 2025 updates to City Policies and Procedures. At that meeting, a forecast of future policy updates was provided for the remainder of the anticipated 2025 updates, including the creation of a Permit Payment Policy.
ANALYSIS:
City policies and procedures are essential for ensuring consistency, fairness, transparency, and efficiency in how the agency operates and delivers services to the public. Clear policies help define expectations for employees, residents, and businesses, while procedures provide step-bystep guidance to implement those policies properly. Together, they reduce the risk of arbitrary decisions, support legal compliance, promote accountability, and help protect the City from liability. Clear policies and procedures also create a stable foundation for managing resources, improving public trust, and adapting to change effectively.

Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Approving a Permit Payment Policy
The City’s Policies and Procedures Manual serves as a critical framework for ensuring consistent operations, transparency, and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Regular reviews and updates are necessary to align with evolving best practices, legal requirements, and organizational needs. Following a comprehensive review, staff identified several key areas requiring updates, which will be updated in phases:
For City Council Approval
• Approved on May 5, 2025:
1. City Recognition Requests
2. Facility Naming
3. Grants Management
4. Use of Community Investment Fund
• Pending Approval:
1. Permit Payment (June 2, 2026)
2. Social Media (Scheduled for June or July)
3. Personnel Investigation (Scheduled for June or July) For Administrative Approval by the City Manager
1. Employee Speaking Engagements
2. Corporate Sponsorships
3. Information Technology (IT) Equipment Use
4. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use for City Business
Permit Payment Policy
A Permit Payment Policy, requiring the collection of all outstanding fees before processing new permits or licenses, promotes fiscal responsibility, ensures fairness, and maintains compliance with municipal regulations. This type of policy helps prevent revenue loss by encouraging timely payment of fees and discouraging repeat delinquency. It also ensures that individuals or businesses with unresolved financial obligations to the city do not receive additional benefits or approvals until those obligations are fulfilled. By doing so, the city protects public resources, supports consistent enforcement of regulations, and fosters accountability among permit and license applicants.
The proposed Permit Payment Policy (Attachment “A”, Exhibit “A”) would establish uniform procedures for the collection, processing, and management of payments for permits and licenses issued by the City. The policy aims to ensure that all outstanding balances for existing City fees be paid in full before new permits or licenses are issued. In order to achieve this goal, the policy would apply to all current and future planning permit fees and building and safety fees. This would also include any outstanding trash and water bills, administrative citations, or other fees administered through the Administrative Services, Community Development, or Public Works Departments.
Considerations for resolving payment disputes, late payments, or ongoing payment plans or outlined in the policy. These updated mechanisms will be implemented as part of the initial check on all permit or licensing applications at the City if approved by City Council.

Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Approving a Permit Payment Policy
BUDGET IMPACT:
The proposed Permit Payment Policy is anticipated to increase fee revenue through the recovery of outstanding balances owed to the City from residents and business owners. Implementation costs, including training and dissemination, will be absorbed within the existing departmental budgets.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a Resolution, approving updates to the City Policies and Procedures to include the addition of a Permit Payment Policy; and authorize the City Manager to take certain related actions to execute and implement the updated policies and procedures.

AGENDA REPORT
FINANCE DEPARTMENT 117 MACNEIL STREET, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340 (818) 898-1207 WWW.SFCITY.ORG REVIEW: ☒ Finance Director ☒ Deputy City Manager ☐ City Manager To: Mayor Mary Mendoza and Councilmembers
From: Nick Kimball, City Manager
By: Erica D. Melton, Director of Administrative Services
Date: June 2, 2025
Subject: Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the Director of Administrative Services/City Treasurer, Senior Accountant, or Designee to Invest Surplus Funds RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 8381 (Attachment “A”) authorizing the Director of Administrative Services/City Treasurer, Senior Accountant or designee to invest surplus funds.
BACKGROUND:
1. Pursuant to Government Code Section 53607, the City Council may delegate authority to the City Treasurer to make investments of the City’s surplus funds. This authority must be delegated annually.
2. On May 1, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 8229 establishing a Multiple Employer OPEB/Pension 115 Trust.
3. On June 3, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 8306 authorizing the Director of Administrative Services/City Treasurer and Senior Accountant to invest surplus funds.
ANALYSIS:
Government surplus funds are defined as excess funds on hand that are not needed to meet current expenses.1 Adopting an annual resolution designating certain city officials to invest surplus funds ensures compliance with California Government Code, which requires formal delegation of investment authority. This resolution authorizes specific officials to manage and invest public funds in accordance with state law, Multiple Employer OPEB/Pension 115 Trust 1 Examples of current expenses include employee payroll, payments to vendors for goods delivered or services rendered, and/or payments on outstanding debt.

agreements, and the City’s Investment Policy. It promotes transparency, provides clear oversight, accounts for staffing changes, and helps safeguard the City’s financial assets by ensuring that only qualified personnel are entrusted with investment responsibilities.
Cities invest surplus funds for several reasons, including but not limited to:
1. Increasing Revenue: By investing surplus funds, cities can earn additional revenue in the form of interest, dividends, and capital gains.
2. Smoothing Out Cash Flow: Cities may hold surplus funds in investments that can be easily accessed to address unexpected expenditures, thereby smoothing out cash flow.
3. Meeting Long-term Obligations: Cities may need to invest surplus funds to facilitate the payment of long-term debt obligations, such as bonds and pensions (e.g. Multiple Employer OPEB/Pension 115 Trust).
4. Maintaining Adequate Reserves: Cities must maintain adequate reserves to cover emergencies such as natural disasters, unexpected expenses, and unforeseen revenue shortfalls.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 53607, the City Council must adopt a resolution each year delegating authority to staff to invest surplus City funds. The proposed Resolution renews the delegation of authority to invest the City’s surplus funds to the Director of Administrative Services/City Treasurer and Senior Accountant for one (1) year (i.e., Fiscal Year 2025-2026), while incorporating authority to a “designee” in the event of an emergency. The Director of Administrative Services/City Treasurer and Senior Accountant are both senior level management staff responsible for monitoring the City’s investment portfolio and adhering to the City’s Investment Policy.
BUDGET IMPACT:
There is no impact to the budget associated with authorizing the Director of Administrative Services/City Treasurer, Senior Accountant, or designee to invest surplus funds as staff time involved in associated work is included in the Administrative Services Department’s work plan.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that City Council adopt Resolution No. 8381 (Attachment “A”) authorizing the Director of Administrative Services/City Treasurer, Senior Accountant, or designee to invest surplus funds in compliance with Government Code Section 53607.

From: Nick Kimball, City Manager
By: Erica D. Melton, Director of Administrative Services
Date: June 2, 2025
Subject: Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Approving the Annual Investment Policy for Fiscal Year 2025-2026
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 8382 (Attachment “A”), approving the annual Investment Policy for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026.
BACKGROUND:
1. On January 1, 1996, Senate Bill 564 (SB 564) went into effect that requires the City Treasurer to prepare a statement of investment policy and present it annually to the legislative body for consideration at a public meeting.
2. Since 1996, the City’s Investment Policy has been reviewed annually by the City Manager, Director of Administrative Services, and City Treasurer and has been presented to the City Council for approval.
3. On June 3, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 8308 approving the Annual Investment Policy for FY 2024-2025.
ANALYSIS:
California cities are required to adopt an investment policy annually to establish clear guidelines for the prudent and legal investment of public funds in accordance with California Government Code Sections 53600 et seq. An investment policy outlines a city’s objectives—typically safety, liquidity, and yield—and provides a framework for decision-making, risk management, and accountability. By reviewing and adopting the policy annually, the City ensures that its investment practices remain current, transparent, and responsive to changes in economic conditions, legal requirements, and organizational needs, thereby protecting and effectively managing public resources.
June 2, 2025 CC Special & Regular Mtg Page 143 of 314
Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Approving the Annual Investment Policy for Fiscal Year 2025-2026
In addition to the Government Code requirement, the City’s Comprehensive Financial Policy (Resolution No. 7767) requires that City funds shall be maintained in a prudent and diligent manner with emphasis on liquidity, safety, and yield, in that order.
In addition to liquidity, safety, and yield, the goal of a good investment policy is to enhance the economic status of the City while protecting funds under management and meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City. Minor changes have been made to the proposed Investment Policy from the prior year following advisement from the City’s fiduciary consultant, Shuster Advisory Group. The Consultant evaluated California Code Limits and the City’s current Investment Policy Statement (Attachment “B”) and identified ten (10) categories where the City’s Investment Policy is more restrictive than the State. They have recommended three (3) areas that may be expanded:
• Municipal Bonds: The proposed Policy is updated for Municipal Bond credit minimums to "A" from "AA". CA Code 53601 has no credit minimum requirement, but to maintain a level of conservatism given the history of an “AA” credit minimum in prior versions of the Investment Policy Also, by allowing for "A" credits, there is a broader opportunity set without a material increase in credit risk.
• Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS): The Policy clarifies the investment strategy to align with the State while also differentiating the 5-year maximum maturity as “maturities of 5-years measured on a weighted average life (WAL) basis.” The convention on MBS is that it is priced to average life and not to stated maturity. • Joint Power Authority Pools: To better align with the State, a section is now added for investments in additional Joint Power Authority Pools. Pooled investment vehicles such as California Cooperative Liquid Assets Securities System (CLASS), California Asset Management Pool (CAMP), and CalTRUST invest with 53601 guidelines. These are similar to the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) but currently offer more yield with similar safety and liquidity.
For better organization of the Policy, the Considerations for Investmentsection was amended last year to include the general rule that upon any announcement of negative credit watch or downgrade by a major rating agency of any issue within the portfolio, the investment manager should contact the Director of Administrative Services and recommend a course of action. If at any time a security falls below “investment grade,” the investment manager should obtain the best bid and take the necessary steps toward liquidation. This year, lingering statements under specific categories were removed, to align with the general coverage for all rated investments.
All recommendations are compliant with California Government Code Sections 53600 et. seq. and the City’s Comprehensive Financial Policy. The proposed Investment Policy authorizes investment in the following investment vehicles:
June 2, 2025 CC Special & Regular Mtg Page 144 of 314
Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Approving the Annual Investment Policy for Fiscal Year 2025-2026
1. United States Treasuries;
2. United States Agencies (e.g., Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Student Loan Marketing Association (SLMA));
3. Bankers’ Acceptances;
4. Commercial Paper;
5. Certificates of Deposit;
6. Repurchase Agreements;
7. Local Agency Investment Fund;
8. Municipal Bonds;
9. Corporate Medium Term Notes;
10. Money Market Mutual Funds;
11. Supranational Obligations;
12. Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities; and
13. Joint Power Authority Pools.
The proposed Investment Policy protects against risk exposure through overconcentration by limiting the percentage of the value of the portfolio that can be invested in any one (1) investment vehicle. The maximum percentage allowable varies based on the risk association with each category of investment. The proposed Investment Policy also requires minimum Moody’s and S&P ratings (P1 and A1, respectively), where applicable, to minimize risk in certain investment.
Pursuant to the proposed Investment Policy, the City may not invest in derivative-type investments (which are now prohibited by law), inverse floaters, range notes, interest-only strips derived from a mortgage pool, equity linked securities, swaps, margin/leveraging, reverse repurchase agreements, and any security that could result in zero interest accrual if held to maturity. Furthermore, the City will not purchase bonds from local agencies or states on negative credit watch by a major rating agency and will not engage in speculative buying.
BUDGET IMPACT:
In FY 2023-2024 (the last full audited fiscal year), the City earned $1,876,787 in total investment returns. All investments will be monitored and invested in accordance with the City’s investment policy; investments may result in additional investment income earned by all City funds.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the annual Investment Policy to allow staff to earn a return on investment on the City’s surplus funds and ensure that the City complies with the SB 564 requirement.

MANAGEMENT POLICY/PROCEDURES
SECTION I. PURPOSE
This Policy is intended to provide specific criteria for the prudent investment of City funds. The ultimate investment goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while protecting funds under management and meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City.
SECTION II. STATEMENT OF POLICY
The City’s cash management system is designed to accurately monitor and forecast expenditures and revenues, thus enabling the City to invest funds to the fullest extent possible. The City attempts to earn the highest yield obtainable while keeping within the investment criteria established for the safety and liquidity of public funds.
The Director of Administrative Services/City Treasurer shall establish procedures that separate the internal responsibility for management and accounting of the investment portfolio. An analysis by an external independent auditor shall be conducted annually to review internal controls, account activity and compliance with policies and procedures.
San Fernando operates its temporary pooled idle cash investment under the prudent investor standard (i.e., such a trustee must act with the “care, skill, prudence and diligence...that a prudent investor…would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency”). This affords the City a broad spectrum of investment opportunities as long as the investment is deemed prudent and allowable under current legislation of the State of California (Government Code Section 53600 et seq.)
Criteria for selecting investments and the order of priority are:
1. SAFETY – The safety and risk associated with an investment refers to the potential loss of principal, accrued interest or both. Protection of the public funds entrusted to the Treasurer is the paramount criteria used to evaluate the investment instruments available.
2. LIQUIDITY – This refers to the ability to convert an investment to cash at any moment in time with minimal risk of forfeiting a portion of principal or interest. Liquidity is an essential investment requirement especially in light of the City’s need to be able to meet emergency financing demands of the community at any time.

3. YIELD – It is the potential dollar earnings an investment can provide and is described as the market rate of return. As a general rule, yields tend to mirror the inherent risk and liquidity characteristics of the particular investment and thus can only be evaluated after those investment criteria are satisfied.

Considerations for Investments
The City attempts to obtain the highest yield possible when selecting investments, providing that criteria for safety and liquidity are met. Ordinarily, because investments normally carry a positive yield curve, (i.e., longer term investments have higher rates than shorter maturities), the City attempts to stagger its maturities to meet anticipated cash needs in such a way that new investment money can be placed in maturities that carry a higher rate that is available in the short market of 30 days or under. Furthermore, maturities are selected to anticipate cash needs of the City, thereby obviating the need for forced liquidation.

EXHIBIT “1”
Upon any announcement of negative credit watch or downgrade by a major rating agency of any issue within the portfolio, the investment manager should contact the Director of Administrative Services/City Treasurer and recommend a course of action. If at any time a security falls below “investment grade,” the investment manager should obtain the best bid and take the necessary steps toward liquidation.
City Constraints
The Director of Administrative Services/City Treasurer is responsible for managing the City’s investment portfolio in accordance with Federal and State laws as well as this policy. Longer term investments (i.e., over one year) are limited to maturities of five years or less.
The City strives to maintain an appropriate level of investment of all funds through daily and projected cash flow determinations. Idle cash management and investment transactions are the responsibility of the Director of Administrative Services/City Treasurer in consultation with the City Manager.
The basic premise underlying the City’s investment philosophy is, and will continue to be, to ensure that money is always safe and available when needed.
The Senior Accountant or designee in the absence of the Director of Administrative Services/City Treasurer shall continually review the financial condition of proposed depositories of City funds. The City should demand a copy of the latest financial statements and audit reports prior to investment and any reports issued during the period of the investment.
Investment Strategy
1. When making an investment decision, the purchase of an investment is made with the intent of holding that investment to maturity.

MANAGEMENT POLICY/PROCEDURES
SECTION I. PURPOSE
This Policy is intended to provide specific criteria for the prudent investment of City funds. The ultimate investment goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while protecting funds under management and meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City.
SECTION II. STATEMENT OF POLICY
The City’s cash management system is designed to accurately monitor and forecast expenditures and revenues, thus enabling the City to invest funds to the fullest extent possible. The City attempts to earn the highest yield obtainable while keeping within the investment criteria established for the safety and liquidity of public funds.
The Director of Finance/City Treasurer shall establish procedures that separate the internal responsibility for management and accounting of the investment portfolio. An analysis by an external independent auditor shall be conducted annually to review internal controls, account activity and compliance with policies and procedures.
San Fernando operates its temporary pooled idle cash investment under the prudent investor standard (i.e., such a trustee must act with the “care, skill, prudence and diligence...that a prudent investor…would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency”). This affords the City a broad spectrum of investment opportunities as long as the investment is deemed prudent and allowable under current legislation of the State of California (Government Code Section 53600 et seq.)
Criteria for selecting investments and the order of priority are:
1. SAFETY – The safety and risk associated with an investment refers to the potential loss of principal, accrued interest or both. Protection of the public funds entrusted to the Treasurer is the paramount criteria used to evaluate the investment instruments available.
2. LIQUIDITY – This refers to the ability to convert an investment to cash at any moment in time with minimal risk of forfeiting a portion of principal or interest. Liquidity is an essential investment requirement especially in light of the City’s need to be able to meet emergency financing demands of the community at any time.

3. YIELD – It is the potential dollar earnings an investment can provide and is described as the market rate of return.

Considerations for Investments
The City attempts to obtain the highest yield possible when selecting investments, providing that criteria for safety and liquidity are met. Ordinarily, because investments normally carry a positive yield curve, (i.e., longer term investments have higher rates than shorter maturities), the City attempts to stagger its maturities to meet anticipated cash needs in such a way that new investment money can be placed in maturities that carry a higher rate that is available in the short market of 30 days or under. Furthermore, maturities are selected to anticipate cash needs of the City, thereby obviating the need for forced liquidation.
Upon any announcement of negative credit watch or downgrade by a major rating agency of any issue within the portfolio, the investment manager should contact the Director of Finance/City Treasurer and recommend a course of action. If at any time a security falls below “investment grade,” the investment manager should obtain the best bid and take the necessary steps toward liquidation.

City Constraints
The Director of Finance/City Treasurer is responsible for managing the City’s investment portfolio in accordance with Federal and State laws as well as this policy. Longer term investments (i.e., over one year) are limited to maturities of five years or less.
The City strives to maintain an appropriate level of investment of all funds through daily and projected cash flow determinations. Idle cash management and investment transactions are the responsibility of the Director of Finance/City Treasurer in consultation with the City Manager.
The basic premise underlying the City’s investment philosophy is, and will continue to be, to insure that money is always safe and available when needed.
The Senior Accountant or designee in the absence of the Director of Finance/City Treasurer shall continually review the financial condition of proposed depositories of City funds. The City should demand a copy of the latest financial statements and audit reports prior to investment and any reports issued during the period of the investment.
Investment Strategy
1. When making an investment decision, the purchase of an investment is made with the intent of holding that investment to maturity.
2. Cash flow projections are fully utilized to balance the liquidity needs at all times.
3. At least bi-weekly, economic forecasts are obtained from financial experts in the field through bankers and brokers.
4. Close rapport is maintained with the City Manager, Director of Finance/City Treasurer, Public Works and other departments having a significant impact on cash flow.
5. The City will invest all City funds and the estimated checking accounts float, except for those amounts required by the City’s banks to pay for bank services furnished to the City.
6. Depending on market conditions, time deposits are maintained in commercial banks and savings and loan institutions.
