AGENDA REPORT
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DEPARTMENT 117 MACNEIL STREET, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340 (818) 898-7307 WWW.SFCITY.ORG REVIEW: ☒ City Clerk ☒ Admin. Services Director ☒ Interim City Manager To: Mayor Mary Mendoza and Councilmembers
From: Kanika Kith, Interim City Manager
By: Erica D. Melton, Director of Administrative Services
Date: August 18, 2025
Subject: Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Approving the Warrant Register RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-082 (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.
To date, the following actions have been completed:

• Metro Board authorized additional Phase 2 supplemental studies focused on: a) Transit and Multimodal Connectivity, b) Safety, c) Travel Time Savings, Ridership, and Mode Shift, d) Costs, e) Right of Way Impacts, f) Traffic Considerations, and g) Equity Considerations (January 2024 through Summer 2024).
• Status update presentation provided to City Council by Metro staff on Phase 2 (May 20, 2025).
On May 20, 2025, the City Council provided the following feedback to Metro staff:
• Requested Metro present more frequently to provide regular updates to the City. • Requested additional community outreach meetings prior to Board consideration/approval of alternatives.
• Offered the City Council Chambers, or other City spaces, for Metro’s community outreach and offered the City’s assistance in hosting and promoting the event.
On June 4, 2025, staff met with Metro to discuss potential safety improvements under the California Public Utilities Commission’s (CPUC) Section 130 program. The Section 130 Grade Crossing Hazard Elimination Program provides federal funds to local agencies (cities and counties) and railroads to eliminate hazards at existing at-grade public highway-rail crossings.
On June 25, 2025, staff met with Metro, Metrolink, and representatives from LA County to discuss potential paths to early action safety improvements at the City’s four (4) train crossing intersections. Metro is reviewing existing funding and programming options and will provide the City with an update shortly.
On July 7, 2025, Metro presented the results of additional public outreach efforts to the City Council. They have requested that City Council provide an official position on the proposed options as soon as possible.
Next City Council Action: A staff report will be presented to City Council at the August 18th meeting, providing an opportunity to develop a formal position letter on the City’s preferred rail option. The report will include a list of any mitigation measures that the City Council would like to add into the letter to request as additional elements of any development. If approved, the August 18, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 54 of 449 Receive and File Status Updates for Enhancements, Projects, and City Council Priorities
letter will be circulated to Metro’s Project Manager’s and the San Fernando Valley Council of Government’s prior to their next board meetings. Metro staff anticipate receiving Board direction on a selected option at their October or November meeting.

Title: Amend the “City Recognition Requests Policy/Procedure and Amendments to the San Fernando City Council Procedural Manual
Description: Expand on the City’s Recognition Requests Policy/Procedure to include definitive descriptions and guidelines for City Council issued recognitions such as Resolutions, Proclamations, and official written acknowledgments for individuals, groups, or organizations in honor of significant contributions, achievements, or service to the community.
In May, 2025, the City Council adopted a revised City Recognition Requests Policy/Procedure, which replaced the previous City Council Awards Program.

It provides direction for both the City Council and staff, outlines eligibility criteria, and details administrative procedures, including the use of a new City Recognition Request Form to be submitted with each request.
On August 4, 2025, the City Council directed staff to return at the first meeting in September 2025, with proposed revisions to the City Recognition Requests Policy/Procedure. These revisions will add clear descriptions and guidelines for City Council issued Resolutions, Proclamations, and other forms of written recognition.

Title: Climate Action Resilience Plan (CARP) & General Plan Updates to Circulation and Open Space/Parks Elements
Description: A Climate Action and Resilience Plan (CARP) serves as a strategic framework designed to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change while fostering resilience within communities and ecosystems. Its primary purpose is to identify and implement measures that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, adapt to changing environmental conditions, and enhance preparedness for climate-related challenges. The CARP promotes sustainable practices like renewable energy adoption, green infrastructure development, and carbon footprint reduction initiatives, while fostering collaboration among stakeholders and supporting innovation in green energy. A grant from the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (now Governor’s Office for Land Use and Climate Innovation) was received to complete the CARP and for updating the City’s General Plan, specifically the Circulation (transition to Mobility) and Open Space/Conservation/Park-Recreation elements.
Status:
• CARP Phase 1: Completed and presented to City Council in February 2024 with data collection, a GHG Emissions Inventory, and a Vulnerability Assessment. • CARP Phase 2: Ongoing, focusing on identifying strategies and actions to mitigate climate change through GHG emission reductions in the most cost-effective manner and include strategies for climate adaptation and resilience. Extensive community engagement, led by August 18, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 57 of 449 Receive and File Status Updates for Enhancements, Projects, and City Council Priorities
Pacoima Beautiful, Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians (FTBMI), and Climate Resolve, is a key component.
• Grant: On April 2, 2024, the City Council accepted the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research Grant and appropriated the funds. The City Council also approved a professional services agreement with Rincon Consultants Inc. to complete the CARP and General Plan updates.
• General Plan Update: The final CARP will support updating the City’s General Plan, specifically the Circulation (transition to Mobility) and Open Space/Conservation/ Park-Recreation elements. All activities are to be completed by January 31, 2026.
Community Engagement: Community engagement activities are planned throughout 2024-2025.
The first Planning 101 workshop was held on September 28, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Recreation Park. The second activity was a Community Meeting on November 16, 2024, at Las Palmas Park from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. This was supplemented by a Tribal Community Meeting, which was held via invitation only on November 14, 2025. The first Advisory Group Meeting was held on January 7, 2025, virtually and included applicants that were selected to participate through a robust interview process. A second Advisory Group Meeting was held on February 13, 2025 via zoom where the group outlined an equity framework for the plan and helped establish equity guardrails to facilitate collaboration and enable consistent, thoughtful decision making.
The Walkshop scheduled for December 7, 2024, was rescheduled to February 22, 2025 , from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. due to inclement weather and the fires in January. It was a well attended event with 20 residents. Community members took a walk throughout the city using tools that measured heat, noise and air pollution. On April 19th, staff attended the Spring Jamboree in collaboration with Climate Resolve, Pacoima Beautiful, and Fernandeno Tataviam Band of Mission Indians. The community engagement collected over 100 surveys in both English and Spanish. During the third Advisory Group Meeting on May 14, 2025, the revised equity guardrails were reviewed and finalized by the team. Then, on May 28, 2025, a walkshop was hosted with approximately 20 students from San Fernando Middle School. On July 25, 2025, marked the final community engagement activity for staff in collaboration with Climate Resolve, Pacoima Beautiful, and Fernandeno Tataviam Band of Mission Indians. Booklets were handed out to the public to further understand the city’s living roadmap for a healthier, safer, and more connected future as it relates to challenges climate change presents to the San Fernando community.
Workshops will occur at:
- Planning and Preservation Commission Meeting on September 9, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. - City Council Meeting on September 15, 2025, at 6:00 p.m.

Title: SCAG REAP 2.0 Grant
Description: The City was awarded $791,818 under the SCAG REAP 2.0 Housing Infill on Public and Private Lands (HIPP) Program and $333,182 under the Subregional Program (SRP) for a total August 18, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 58 of 449 Receive and File Status Updates for Enhancements, Projects, and City Council Priorities
of $1,125,000. On January 25, 2024, the City was notified of the Governor’s 2024-2025 State Budget proposal that included budget cuts including a reversion of the SCAG’s REAP 2.0 programs. Fortunately, on July 29, 2024, the City was notified the REAP 2.0 program was able to resume and the City would receive its full award. SCAG immediately began working with the City to refine the scope of work (SOW), budget, and schedule.
The City’s final SOW consists of five sub-projects that were identified as programs in the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element. In summary they are:
• Develop strategies for preventing displacement and maintaining affordable housing for disadvantaged community members and establishing supportive programs for tenants and homeowners to prevent displacement and affirmatively further fair housing. This will be in the form a Community Stabilization Manual.
• Update the 2002 Historic Survey to identify eligible historic resources throughout the City to promote conversion or preservation of historic commercial buildings into housing while also promoting improvement or expansion of residential buildings to maintain quality of existing housing, neighborhoods, and health of residents, and to address overcrowding.
• Update the City’s density bonus ordinance to comply with state housing law and to establish a local density bonus ordinance with incentives encouraging affordable housing. • Complete a comprehensive update to the Zoning Code and Corridors Specific Plan 5 (SP-5) to allow residential land use in currently restricted areas, increase development capacity for housing on underutilized or vacant infill sites, streamline the review process and comply with the latest state housing laws.
• Review and update the City’s development process for housing developments to ensure potential barriers that may hinder housing construction are removed and a smoother and more efficient approval process for housing projects.
Status: On October 21, 2024, the City Council adopted a resolution accepting the Southern California Associations of Governments’ Regional Early Action Program 2.0 Grant and authorizing a Memorandum of Understanding to implement the grant program. SCAG will no longer be able to procure a consultant on behalf of the City. The City will procure the consultant. A Call for Service was issued out on November 7, 2024, to the pre-approved on-call list of consultants. The goal would be to begin work in January, 2025 as the deadline for funds to be expended has been extended to June 30, 2026.
On November 7, 2024, a call for professional service was issued to the planning consultants on the City’s on-call as needed. The proposals were due on December 5, 2024. Two (2) proposals were received. Staff reviewed proposals and interviews were conducted on January 16, 2025, with each of the firms. City Council approved a professional services agreement with Rincon Consultants at the March 3, 2025 Regular City Council meeting. A kick off meeting was held on Friday, March 7, 2025.

On March 19, 2025, staff and consultant team conducted a City tour to look at sites of recent development, sites where there are approved developments, and sites of proposed developments. The team also toured sites of potentially historic homes. The purpose of the tour was to familiarize the consulting team with pattern of development, lot configurations, existing neighborhood and historic architectural styles. This will provide background information in developing residential objective design standards and provide some context for the update to the historic survey.

Title: City Fleet Replacement and Heavy Equipment Program Description: The City Fleet Replacement and Heavy Equipment Program is designed to effectively manage, maintain, and optimize the city’s fleet of vehicles and heavy equipment. This program ensures that all city-owned assets, including cars, trucks, specialized vehicles, and heavy machinery, are safe, reliable, cost-effective, and ready to support city operations. The program supports various city departments such as public works, public safety, parks and recreation, and transportation, providing essential vehicles and equipment to carry out their missions efficiently.
During the FY 2024-2025 Budget process, the City Council approved an enhancement of $210,000 to purchase a new backhoe or front-end loader. Staff is currently work with Government Sales in determining the specifications, for the equipment in the final selection, delivery timeline and accessories.
Status: The Department has initiated the purchase of heavy equipment for maintenance work and is in the process of evaluating its current fleet of vehicles and heavy equipment. Staff is in the process of Identify the need, clearly define the requirements for the heavy equipment based on the specific maintenance tasks, to ensure that the proper piece of equipment is procured that meets the needs of the department. This involves understanding the type, size, and specifications of the equipment required. Staff is currently working with PD to right size the City’s fleet of public safety vehicles for short and long term planning.
This identification of the need will be followed by staff conducting a needs assessment which will evaluate the current vehicle and equipment inventory and determine if there are gaps that the new purchase will fill.

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 August 18, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 78 of 449 Receive and File Status Updates for Enhancements, Projects, and City Council Priorities
of a written notice to water customers no less than 45 days from the date of the hearing; and
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.

Title: IPS Smart Meter Installation
Description: Replacement of coin operated meters in the San Fernando Mall and Civic Center with Smart meters that accept both coin and card payment. Phase one will include the replacement of 91 coin meters.
Status: On October 7, 2024, the City Council awarded a contract to IPS Group Inc. to replace coin-operated parking meters in the San Fernando Mall and Civic Center. Installation was confirmed for mid-March 2025, and notices were distributed to local businesses two weeks prior.
From March 17–19, a total of 91 smart meters were installed—72 in the Mall (between Brand Blvd and Kalisher St) and 19 around the Civic Center (Newton and Fourth Streets). The work was completed with assistance from IPS technicians, Public Works staff, and Community Service Officers, marking the end of Phase 2.
Parking meter maintenance duties have since shifted from the Water Department to the Police Department's Parking Enforcement Division. Water personnel trained CSOs in basic troubleshooting, while IPS provided software training. Public Works will oversee contract and financial management; the Police Department will handle supplies, enforcement, collections, and maintenance.
In line with AB 413 (Daylighting Law), 17 noncompliant meters were identified citywide. A joint task force from Public Works and the Police Department is overseeing removal, grinding of stalls, red curb painting, public education, and enforcement.
Phase 3 of the project has begun with the removal of 17 noncompliant meters. Next steps include a financial analysis on program costs and revenue in certain areas of the City. This will help City Staff in determining which areas of the City are in need of parking meters, where meters can be taken out and which areas are in need of more smart meters. From this, an accurate account of program costs is more easily determined.
Next City Council Action: No Council action required at this time.
Tentative Completion Date: Phase 2 was completed on March 19, 2025. Phase 3 will be tentatively completed by Fall 2025.

pandemic. Public Works issued over 30 permits citywide, with the last permit issued on June 3, 2022. The temporary program ended following the termination of Los Angeles County's local public health emergency on March 31, 2023.
The First reading of the ordinance was presented to City Council on May 5, 2025. The City Council directed staff to edit the ordinance to prohibit the service and consumption of alcohol on the Public Right of Way. With that direction to City Staff, the City Council unanimously passed the First Reading. City Staff edited the Ordinance and application per City Council direction. On March 19, 2025, the second reading of the ordinance was approved by City Council.
City Staff have been creating community engagement materials to educate restaurant owners on how to apply for the program. This has included creating a webpage on the City Website, flyers, letters, and sending out mass emails. Due to its mid year adoption, the permit fee will be prorated to $306 for the remainder of the year.
Next City Council Action: No City Council action at this time.
Tentative Completion Date: Ongoing.

Title: Implementation of California Daylighting Law
Description: “Daylighting” refers to the practice of improving visibility at intersections by removing obstructions (like parked vehicles) near crosswalks and corners. In California, daylighting laws (such as those implemented under Assembly Bill (AB) 413, signed in 2023) require that motor vehicles must not park within 20 feet of a crosswalk or intersection to enhance pedestrian safety and visibility. The goal is to prevent cars from blocking the view of pedestrians and oncoming traffic, thereby reducing collisions, especially those involving pedestrians and cyclists.
Project Goals (Daylighting Implementation for Parking Management) • Improve pedestrian and traffic safety at intersections citywide. • Ensure compliance with California daylighting requirements (AB 413). • Reduce pedestrian-related collisions at crosswalks and curb corners. • Educate the public about the importance of daylighting and new parking regulations.
Project Scope
Assessment & Data Collection
• Conduct a citywide audit of intersections and crosswalks where parked vehicles currently encroach within 20 feet of corners.
• Prioritize high-traffic or high-incident areas.
Design & Planning
• Design daylighting zones using paint, bollards, planters, curb extensions, or signage. • Identify alternative uses for newly freed curb space (e.g., bike parking, greenery, loading zones).
August 18, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 81 of 449 Receive and File Status Updates for Enhancements, Projects, and City Council Priorities
Policy & Regulatory Alignment
• Update municipal parking regulations, curb painting standards, and enforcement protocols. • Align with California law and adopt any local ordinances needed.
Implementation
• Remove or restrict parking in daylighting zones.
• Paint curbs red (or other local marking) to indicate no-parking zones near select crosswalks. • Install signage or physical barriers (like flexible bollards or planters).
Community Outreach
• Educate residents, drivers, and businesses about the purpose and benefits. • Share enforcement timelines and provide grace periods if needed.
Monitoring & Evaluation
• Measure improvements in visibility, compliance, and collision data post-implementation. • Adjust plans based on feedback and performance.
Status:
As part of the City’s ongoing efforts to ensure compliance with California law under AB 413, City staff recently removed 17 noncompliant parking meters across various locations. Community Service Officers (CSOs) began issuing citations to vehicles in violation starting on May 1, 2025. In response, the City has expedited implementation of the compliance plan.
Upcoming actions include grinding down noncompliant parking stall markings and painting red curbs at key intersections. The locations selected for this first phase were prioritized based on the presence of the removed noncompliant meters.
The second phase will involve the continued, incremental rollout of red curb painting and stall grinding at additional high-priority areas throughout the City.

Subject: Consideration to Approve Memorandum of Understanding with El Centro de Amistad, Inc. to Provide Mental Health Support Services, Approve Co-Sponsorship of Events and Use of the City Seal, and Request to Waive Facility Permit Fees RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
a. Approve a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with El Centro de Amistad, Inc. (ECDA) (Attachment “A” – Contract No. 2416) to provide mental health support services; b. Approve the use of the City seal on the print material and social media pursuant to City Council Ordinance No. 1724 (Attachment “B”);
c. Waive fees for use of City facilities for the co-sponsored event, with City Manager approval; and
d. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to make non-substantive changes and execute the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
1. On December 6, 2023, the Business and Community Resource Center (BCRC) was established to function as a hub for local businesses and to support housing, financial, and food resilience opportunities for the community, through a series of community partnerships and events.
2. On June 27, 2025, ECDA and the City met to explore a potential collaboration to increase access to mental health resources for the City’s residents.

3. On July 7, 2025, the City Council received a presentation from staff regarding immigration-related assistance and community resources. As part of that discussion, the City Council directed staff to explore available mental health services that could be made accessible to the community.
ANALYSIS:
Local governments provide mental health services to their communities to support overall well-being and public safety. When cities invest in accessible, affordable mental health care, they help individuals lead healthier, more productive lives, while also reducing the burden on emergency services, hospitals, and the criminal justice system. These services are especially crucial for low-income and underserved populations who may not have access to private care.
By addressing mental health needs early and effectively, cities can prevent crises, support families, and create safer, more resilient communities.
The City strives to provide its residents with high-quality programs that support mental health, individual stability, and community well-being. As part of the City’s Strategic Goal I, Focus on Community First, staff has explored partnerships with non-profit organizations that increase access to preventive care and culturally appropriate services.
ECDA is a nonprofit mental health organization that has served children, adults, and families in the San Fernando Valley since 1977. Services are provided by trained staff in English and Spanish.
The agency’s programs are designed to support children ages 0–17 and adults ages 25–59, with a focus on reducing risk factors and supporting self-sufficiency.
Through the proposed MOU, ECDA will partner with the City to offer a variety of community-based services to promote mental health awareness, access, and well-being. These services include:
• Facilitated support groups for staff and service providers; • Parenting classes for families;
• Mental health workshops for the general public;
• Medi-Cal registration assistance;
• Mental health referrals for individuals and families; • Ongoing support services for those referred to continued care.

Services will be provided at various locations throughout the City, as space is available. ECDA will promote the programs through its website, social media, and partner communication channels.
The City will support the initiative by providing facility space, along with waiving any applicable facility rental fees, assisting with outreach, and encouraging community participation. ECDA will receive access to using the City Seal, with City Manager approval, for marketing materials.
These efforts align with the City’s goal of increasing access to supportive services for all residents.
By working collaboratively with ECDA, the City seeks to help address mental health needs through locally accessible, culturally appropriate programming for residents, which will function as a continued expansion of the San Fernando Together initiative.
BUDGET IMPACT:
There is no budget impact incurred by this collaboration as all maintenance costs for the use of City facilities have already been accounted for in the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Adopted Budget.
Additionally, the City will waive any applicable permit fees associated with co-sponsored events, which could range in cost from approximately $150 - $1,000 per event, according to the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Fee Schedule.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Memorandum Of Understanding with El Centro De Amistad, Inc. to provide mental health support services; approve the use of the City seal on the print material and social media pursuant to City Council Ordinance No. 1724; waive fees for use of City facilities for the co-sponsored event, with City Manager approval; and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to make non-substantive changes and execute the agreement.

ANALYSIS:
A job fair is an organized event where employers and job seekers meet in one location to explore employment opportunities. It serves as a bridge between companies looking to hire and individuals seeking work, often featuring booths, presentations, and sometimes on-the-spot interviews. Job fairs help employers quickly connect with a diverse pool of candidates, while job seekers gain access to multiple organizations, career information, and networking opportunities all in one place. Hosting job fairs benefitsthe community by reducing unemployment, supporting local economic growth, and providing residents with the tools and connections they need to achieve financial stability. They also strengthen relationships between businesses, community organizations, and job seekers, creating a more informed and empowered workforce.
The NSFVWC, operated by Goodwill Southern California in partnership with Los Angeles Mission College (LAMC) and part of the LA County network of America’s Job Centers of California, is located on the LAMC Sylmar campus and offers free employment, training, and recruitment services to connect residents with job opportunities while supporting local businesses in filling vacancies. Its mission is to empower the community through workforce development, helping residents overcome employment barriers and fostering regional economic growth. As part of its outreach, the NSFVWC hosts and participates in job fairs, hiring events, and career resource workshops year-round, held both on campus and at partner locations to make services more accessible to the community.
To further advance the City’s ongoing commitment to fostering regional collaboration, workforce development, and economic opportunity, staff recommends co-sponsoring the upcoming Northeast San Fernando Valley WorkSource Center job fair on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, at Las Palmas Park from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., as well as future workforce events hosted within the City. Co-sponsorship will include the provision of City-owned space, use of event equipment, and support with event promotion and community outreach.
In return, the NSFVWC will oversee employer engagement, event logistics, and coordination of employment resources to connect residents with job opportunities. This partnership benefits both residents and local businesses by providing job seekers with access to free, local employment services while helping employers fill vacancies at no cost. It also aligns with the City’s broader goal of supporting economic vitality through collaborative, community-focused initiatives.

BUDGET IMPACT:
There is no budget impact associated with co-sponsoring NSFVWC job fair events. The sponsorship entails providing in-kind support, such as utilizing social media outlets for marketing and featuring the event on the City's website. Additionally, the City will waive any applicable facility permit fees associated with co-sponsored events, which could range in cost from approximately $150 - $1,000 per event, according to the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Fee Schedule.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Co-Sponsorship of job fair events to support workforce development with the Northeast San Fernando Valley WorkSource Center (SFVWC); approve the use of the City seal on the print material and social media pursuant to City Council Ordinance No. 1724 (Attachment “A”); and waive fees for use of City facilities for the cosponsored event, with City Manager approval.

AGENDA REPORT
FINANCE DEPARTMENT 117 MACNEIL STREET, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340 (818) 898-7307 WWW.SFCITY.ORG REVIEW: ☒ City Clerk ☒ Director of Admin. Services ☒ Interim City Manager To: Mayor Mary Mendoza and Councilmembers
From: Kanika Kith, Interim City Manager
By: Erica Melton, Director of Administrative Services
Date: August 18, 2025
Subject: Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Setting the Property Tax Rate Required to Meet the City’s Obligation to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System for Fiscal Year 2025-2026
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
a. Adopt Resolution No. 8404 (Attachment “A”) establishing the amount necessary to be raised by taxation for the City’s annual payment to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System;
b. Adjust the property tax rate for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026 to $0.168977 per $100 of assessed valuation; and
c. Levy that tax rate upon all taxable property in the City.
BACKGROUND:
1. On April 9, 1946, the voters of the City of San Fernando (City) approved a ballot measure authorizing an ad valorem property tax rate to raise the funds necessary to pay the City’s annual obligation to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) for the retirement benefits of City employees.
2. In 1980, the Legislature adopted California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 93, which authorized local agencies to levy ad valorem property taxes equal to the amount needed to make annual payments for the interest and principal on indebtedness approved by the voters prior to July 1, 1978 (i.e., prior to the effective date of Proposition 13).
3. In FY 1982-1983, the City levied an ad valorem property tax rate of $0.28420 for each $100 of assessed value on all property in the City subject to taxation (Resolution No. 5252, adopted August 18, 1982) to pay the City’s annual CalPERS obligation.

4. In FY 1983-1984, the City levied an ad valorem property tax rate of $0.26420 for each $100 of assessed value on all property in the City subject to taxation (Resolution No. 5326, adopted August 15, 1983) to pay the City’s annual CalPERS obligation.
5. In 1985, the Legislature adopted Revenue and Taxation Code Section 96.31, which authorized a jurisdiction to continue to impose an ad valorem property tax levy to make payments in support of pension programs, provided: 1) it was approved by voters prior to July 1, 1978, and 2) the jurisdiction imposed the property tax levy in either FY 1982-1983 or FY 1983-1984.
6. Section 96.31 further provided a cap on the tax rate that a jurisdiction may levy; specifically, the tax rate may not exceed the rate imposed by that jurisdiction in the 1982-1983 or 1983-1984 fiscal years, pursuant to a budget resolution adopted on or before July 1, 1983.
Therefore, because the City adopted its FY 1983-1984 Resolution on August 15, 1983, the maximum rate it can levy is $0.28420 for each $100 of assessed property value, which rate was established in FY 1982-1983.
7. The ad valorem property tax rate levied on all taxable property to fund the City’s CalPERS obligation in FY 2024-2025 was $0.170462 per $100 of assessed valuation.
ANALYSIS:
An ad valorem tax levied on property values serves as a critical source of revenue for funding public employee pensions. This tax provides a stable and equitable revenue stream that support long-term pension obligations and ensure financial security for retired public employees. Reliable pension funding is essential not only for fulfilling legal commitments but also for attracting and retaining skilled workers in the public sector. Without this dedicated tax, pension costs would need to be covered by the General Fund, which would have an impact on the resources available to provide city services.
Unlike most California cities, San Fernando maintains a dedicated revenue stream for pension costs. This approach protects the General Fund and contributes to the City’s long-term financial stability. Responsible management of this tax ensures continued funding for pension obligations without compromising other city services.
Actuarial Analysis.
In 2021, the City commissioned an actuarial report to determine the proportion of current pension costs attributable to pre-1978 benefits. The report concluded:
• 80% of current pension costs are tied to pre-1978 benefits and may be funded by the pension tax.
• 20% are tied to post-1978 benefit enhancements and must be funded through other sources (e.g., Enterprise Funds, Special Funds, General Fund, employee contributions). • Cost Control Measures
