Civiltec has been the City Utility Engineer from 1992 to present day. In 2000, La Verne and Civiltec began planning a new cyclic storage project for the Live Oak Basin involving the Metropolitan Water District, two local municipal water districts and the Los Angeles County Flood Control District. The project puts raw imported water into new and existing spreading basins for La Verne. Since the agreement was signed, we have master planned, designed, and constructed new extraction wells, piping systems, a new regional treatment plant and BPS.
All facilities are within operation. Civiltec has prepared La Verne’s annual water quality assessment since 2017, the 2010 and 2015 La Verne Urban Water Management Plans and the 2023 Wastewater Master Plan and kept their system model updated yearly.
The 2020, 2016, 2010, 2000, and 1993 La Verne WMP developed policy and direction for urban development and implemented conservation measures. La Verne observed some impacts from nitrification and an increase in lead and copper concentrations, which resulted in exceedances of the Lead and Copper Rule we proposed they implement a nitrification monitoring and control plan to mitigate risks associated with these nitrifying conditions as well as implemented various improvements within the water system to mitigate the occurrence of these conditions. Civiltec completed a study to verify the results of the prior Lead Corrosion Study (prepared by another firm) and Nitrification Monitoring and Control Plan to determine additional operational adjustments and system improvements to be made to minimize the occurrence of nitrification and corrosion. This also included an analysis of the system to determine sensitivities to nitrification and ultimately solutions to minimize loss of disinfectant and nitrification. We developed La Verne’s water system model, operational, administrative, and capital improvements were summarized, capital improvement concepts prepared to conceptualize capital improvements and descriptions for the need and benefits of each project summarized.

Project Understanding
San Fernando operates as a critical water service provider in the San Fernando Valley, serving a current population of under 24,000 residents across a 2.4-square-mile area. With approximately 5,400 service connections, San Fernando is responsible for ensuring the reliable delivery of water to customers within its service area. San Fernando has built a comprehensive water distribution system that has been entirely dependent on groundwater through four wells within the Sylmar Groundwater Basin and would like to remain as such. As a backup supply source, San Fernando has the ability to purchase import water from Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). This reliance, though effective, presents challenges in terms of long-term sustainability, supply vulnerability, and cost management. The City’s current water distribution system includes aging infrastructure which includes roughly 66.5 miles of distribution pipelines, four storage reservoirs, and two booster pump stations and as of early 2024, two ion exchange treatment plants known as Plant No.1 and Plant No.2 for nitrate removal.
Scope of Services
Based on our project understanding and professional experience, we have identified the following scope of services.
PHASE 1. PROJECT KICKOFF AND WORK PLAN
Task 1 – Kick-off Meeting
Civiltec will arrange and conduct a kick-off meeting
with San Fernando to discuss the goals and priorities
of the study, introduce project team members, existing
operational issues and expected deliverables, key
milestones, work plan including tasks and objectives, as well as strategies to coordinate efforts regarding public engagement, and schedule.
It is anticipated that this initial meeting will be a workshop involving the key members of our team and the City of San Fernando’s operations and management personnel. Our
experience points that it is helpful to thoroughly review the system’s components and all operating procedures
and conditions, review past improvements initiated
from the previous WMP, identify all features that are
unique, challenging to operate, worst case conditions
experienced, and areas San Fernando knows where more
capacity or better system performance is desired.
Task 2 – Progress Meetings and Administration
Civiltec will provide overall project management and
coordination to ensure effective delivery of the WMP. This includes scheduling and participating in at least two (2) in-person meetings and two (2) virtual meetings with San Fernando staff to review progress, address questions, and support key decision-making throughout the project. We
will manage communication, track milestones, provide
regular updates, and ensure alignment between project
tasks and San Fernando’s expectations. Meeting agendas, notes, and action items will be prepared and distributed following each meeting to maintain transparency and
accountability.
Task 3 – InfoWater Pro Training
Civiltec will provide 8 hour training workshop to San
Fernando staff regarding hydraulic model operation
and model maintenance. The training workshop will be
done by either the PM or PE or a mixture of both and
the training workshop would be broken into four-hour
time periods on separate days. The training will be done either in-person or virtually depending on the preference of San Fernando staff.

STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS FOR
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO WATER MASTER PLAN
May 29, 2025
The training workshop would include basic and advanced
features of using InfoWater Pro. Ideally, one portion of the workshop would be focused on the basic features of
InfoWater Pro such as: understanding the functions and
features as part of InfoWater Pro’s interface; searching addresses within San Fernando’s service area; adding
files or layers; add or modifying modeling elements
such as junctions, pipelines, storage tanks, reservoirs as finite water source, pressure reducing stations, zone breaks, etc.; creating domains, various selection sets.
The other portion would focus on the more advance
features of InfoWater Pro such as: creating and utilizing steady state and extended period simulations; analyzing modeling scenarios based on fire flow analysis,
demand changes, break analysis, etc. The workshop
would also incorporate how to analyze operational
and infrastructure improvements to improve existing
or future infrastructure, understand how incremental
demand based on a development would impact water
infrastructure, and how to modify pressure zone
boundaries.
PHASE 2. CITY POLICY, DOCUMENT REVIEW AND
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Task 1 – Request for Information (RFI)
Following the kick-off meeting, we will issue a
comprehensive request-for-information (RFI) including
all data needed for the preparation of the WMP. The RFI will indicate the required information and the urgency
of the information to the master planning effort. Under this task, we will also organize all data and most recent planning studies received from San Fernando and provide an updated RFI spreadsheet for tracking purposes.
Civiltec will coordinate with San Fernando to collect
all field data and inspect as necessary to develop an
understanding of the existing water system and its
performance.
Task 2 – Review Existing Plans, Policies, Projects, and Data
Review of the plans, policies, projects, and data from
existing resources is essential in updating the Water
Master Plan. San Fernando is planning to include the 2020 Urban Water Management Plan, Utility Infrastructure
Capital Improvement Schedule, Master Plan for Water
Amended 1969, Annual Comprehensive Financial
Report, Professional Service Agreement Sample, Water
Main Replacement Evaluation Matrix, Water Distribution
Static Water Pressure System Map, Water Distribution
System Map, and Water System Hydraulic Profile.
Task 3 – Design and Planning Criteria
Early in the planning process, Civiltec will prepare a
memo detailing proposed Design Criteria and Planning
Criteria based on research of previous planning efforts, industry standards, and compliance requirements. We
will conduct a workshop involving the key members of San Fernando’s management team and operations personnel.
We will solicit discussion and invite feedback of the
potential water system design and operating criteria,
provide explanations and rationale for the criteria,
and answer any questions from the attendees. We will
incorporate the feedback received from the workshop
into the criteria. We will work with San Fernando staff to establish and adopt the Design Criteria and Planning Criteria to be used as a baseline for determining the
adequacy of existing infrastructure.
• Design Criteria. Design Criteria deals with parameters related to the proper sizing and configuration of
infrastructure from a hydraulic point of view. The
concepts of system performance, system redundancy,
regulatory compliance and emergency preparedness
will be built into the criteria.
• Planning Criteria. Planning Criteria deals with
parameters related to cyclical infrastructure
refurbishment or replacement due to age and
condition. The primary concern of Planning Criteria
is to establish the practical service life of each system component and a performance indicator to verify
whether maintenance or replacement will result in
an economic benefit. These performance indicators
may include efficiency, reliability, and maintenance
history.

PHASE 3. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
Task 1 – Site Investigations
Civiltec will perform site investigations of San
Fernando’s facilities, including groundwater wells,
storage reservoirs, and booster stations to evaluate the conditions of the water infrastructure. Per the last update on the hydraulic profile, it is our understanding that
there are currently four groundwater wells, four storage reservoirs, and two booster stations. The investigation will evaluate deficiencies observed and be presented in a report format for San Fernando.
Task 2 – Population Analysis (OPTIONAL)
Civiltec will coordinate with San Fernando and discuss
their approach to outline population and growth
projections. We will review the population projections
for San Fernando’s 2020 UWMP and compare them to
population projections using publicly available data
from the United States Census, California Department
of Finance (DOF) and Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). After analyzing the available data, we will develop a model for population growth.
Task 3 – Land Use Analysis (OPTIONAL)
We will acquire and review the latest SCAG Land Use
Database for San Fernando with regards to those
parcels served by the City of San Fernando. The SCAG
Land Use Database uses a Modified Anderson Land Use
Classification System, which represents actual and specific land use based on aerial survey. An analysis of actual land use will reveal the number and type of vacant parcels
and will distinguish between the various permitted land uses allowed. We utilize any City general plans or data related to land usage as well as LA County’s available
GIS Data to obtain latest parcel data to coordinate same practices to ensure an easy transfer of data and results.
Once the land usage analysis is complete, we will revise the previous water duty factors to implement on pending developments.
Task 4 – System Facility Analysis (OPTIONAL)
As part of the WMP, Civiltec will conduct an analysis of San Fernando’s existing water system facilities to assess their capacity, condition, and ability to meet current and future (2045) projected demands. This task will include a detailed evaluation of San Fernando’s booster pump
stations, storage reservoirs, water supply wells, and
other key infrastructure components. Using available
operational data that will be obtained by San Fernando’s operation staff, demand forecasts, as well as hydraulic modeling outputs, Civiltec will identify whether the
system has surplus capacity or is at risk of deficiencies under both existing and projected conditions.
Civiltec will define the supply portfolio serving the needs of the City of San Fernando based on current agreements, rights, and contracts. For booster pump stations analysis, we will review latest pump efficiency tests for all booster pumps and evaluate their current performance relative
to the manufacturer’s performance curves, as available.
We will list the existing booster pumping stations and its locations and capacities. We will also analyze existing and future pumping capacity from dependent zones to subdependent zones to help determine optimal reservoir filling and fire flow capacities.
Civiltec will also review the backup generator inventory that supplies emergency power to San Fernando’s
facilities and evaluate the need for additional generators or replacement generators.
Civiltec will analyze the adequacy of existing storage, including taking into account dead storage, to provide
for emergency, firefighting, and operational purposes
as defined by design criteria under existing, and future demand conditions. Emergency water storage will be
projected for each service zone based on 72 hours of
power outage as an emergency scenario.
Findings from this analysis will directly inform the
capital improvement recommendations and help guide
long-term system planning.

PHASE 3.1. HYDRAULIC MODEL
Task 1 – Construction of Hydraulic Model
Civiltec will construct a hydraulic model of the City of San Fernando’s current water system with all acquired
information including pipe diameter, length, material,
estimated roughness and installation date. We will
update all reservoirs, booster pumps including elevation, design head and flow per the latest available efficiency test, operational settings, and installation date. The
model will include all distribution and transmission
mainlines. Good elevation data is important for the
update of existing model. We will acquire recent aerial imagery and an elevation platform from public data to
use in the hydraulic model update.
Task 2 – Demand Allocation for Simulation
Civiltec will use billing data to allocate demands across the system. We will organize the billing data per year over a 5-year study period as well as an overall average per billing data account (meter). Once the data is organized as such, we will allocate the demands in the hydraulic
model in a general distribution format and identify top users based on billing data.
• Allocation Method: General Distribution of
Demands while Identifying top 10 to 15%
Users. We would identify the top 10 to 15% users
and work with San Fernando staff to determine the
address of these specific billed meters. These specific demands would be allocated to the nearest node
in the constructed model and then distribute the
remaining demands evenly per number of demand
nodes programmed.
However, prior to the commencement of the demand
allocation, Civiltec will review San Fernando’s available historical water consumption to determine current water system demands. We will analyze demands for each
pressure zone as well as on an over-all basis for future planning evaluations. In addition to analyzing current
water system demands, we will develop water demand
projections future conditions in five-year increments
until the year 2045. The year 2045 is the generally
accepted ultimate build out year as established by
Regional Planning. We will utilize population projections based on discussions with San Fernando to assist in
development of future water demand projections. The
growth projections and input from Planners will be used to develop projections of demand as well as historical
water demand data.
Task 3 – Steady State Calibration
Steady state calibration involves adjusting pipe
roughness to match actual flow characteristics. Following the construction of the hydraulic model, Civiltec will
calibrate it against steady state field data to ensure that simulation results reflect actual system performance.
Field testing will be performed at locations to be
determined in coordination with San Fernando staff. It
is assumed that San Fernando will flow all hydrants with representatives from Civiltec present. We will need all system operational parameters at the time of each flow
test that includes pumps on/off and reservoir levels. The target tolerance for calibration is plus or minus 5 psi or 5% of static pressure at each test location. The calibration process and the raw field test data will be provided in a final model construction report. Civiltec will coordinate with San Fernando and choose up to 10 locations for field testing, as well as be on-site to observe 1 days field data collection.
Task 4 – Steady State Simulation
Civiltec will simulate fire flow under maximum day
demand (MDD) conditions at each hydrant location to
determine system capacity relative to the fire marshal’s requirements. We will simulate conditions that result
in maximum and minimum system pressure to identify
vulnerable areas. We will simulate conditions that
result in high pipe velocities to reevaluate bottlenecks and excessive energy losses. We will use the modeling
output to outline possible pipeline replacements based
on planning criteria under existing and future buildout modeling scenarios.

Task 5 – Technical Memorandum for Hydraulic Model
Civiltec will prepare and submit a comprehensive
Technical Memorandum for the hydraulic model that will
document the development, calibration, and application
of the newly created hydraulic model. The memorandum
will summarize modeling assumptions, methodologies,
demand scenarios, and system performance under
existing and future conditions as discussed within the
WMP. It will include table output and related graphics
identifying the construction of the hydraulic model and not of water system analysis.
As for the delivery of the hydraulic model, the final
calibrated InfoWater Pro hydraulic model will be
delivered in electronic format, along with all associated data files, to allow San Fernando staff to conduct future analyses and updates independently.
PHASE 4. IDENTIFY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS AND
FUNDING SOURCE
Task 1 – Cost Estimating Framework
Civiltec will establish a uniform cost estimating
methodology suitable for planning purposes. Civiltec
will work with San Fernando to provide cost estimation
framework to apply to capital improvement projects for
planning purposes. We will prepare cost estimates based on unit cost with reasonable current market conditions
around San Fernando’s region or even neighboring
agencies. The cost estimate tabular summary will also
contain typical contingency percentage and mark-up cost factors that will be discussed with San Fernando prior
to finalized estimates. Cost estimates will be included pipelines and non-pipeline facilities including booster pumps, wells, reservoirs, treatment plants, and SCADA.
Task 2 – Identification of Deficiencies
After discussion with San Fernando, the Public Director and his staff have identified potential capital improvement program (CIP) projects along with their priority. Civiltec will incorporate these CIPs into the overall list of CIPs and provide supplemental CIPs specific to the hydraulic modeling output.
The supplemental CIPs will be based on hydraulic
evaluation, operational challenges, and cyclical
replacement analysis. We will identify system
deficiencies, outline emergency/reliability
improvements and recommend mitigation as a series
of projects and programs. Each project or program will
be discussed individually and include a description,
justification, priority, cost estimate, and map showing its extent. As applicable, project descriptions may also include opportunities for synergy, alternative solutions, qualification for alternative funding options, and
recommendations for field verification or further study.
Task 3 – Presentation of the CIP
Civiltec will present the CIP graphically as a map of
the service area with individual projects identified by name and type. Once the CIPs are displayed graphically, our team along with San Fernando staff will be able to
discuss broadly together how to potentially combine
some projects together for constructability purposes.
We will evaluate and recommend based on priority. We
will provide a tabular format budget that would detail
justifications, potential time frame to implement CIP and possible funding source recommendations. Estimated
cost within the first 5-year period will be estimating a 3% annual growth rate and justifications. Communication
and collaboration between San Fernando and Civiltec
will be critical for this task.
We will present the CIP in tabular form by type in
accordance with San Fernando’s preferences for
organization and budgeting.

Options
Civiltec will work with San Fernando staff to identify
funding options available for the water CIP projects
and on-going maintenance. This will include our
understanding of available sources, additional to our
review for what other cities and agencies are using for funding. After coordination with San Fernando, the
list of funding sources will be presented as part of the Appendices.
PHASE 5. PREPARE MASTER PLAN REPORT
Task 1 – Draft Report
Civiltec will issue and present a draft report for review by the City of San Fernando in PDF electronic format. We will respond to comments on the draft report and make
revisions, as necessary.
Task 2 – Final Report
Civiltec will issue and present a final report to San
Fernando in a composite electronic format in PDF,
including exhibits and/or appendices, original Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel files, GIS and model data files, and 3 hard copies. A USB containing all calculations, data
and supporting documentation in electronic format will
be provided as part of the final submittal of the water master plan.
PHASE 6. PLAN ADOPTION
Task 1 – Meeting with City Council
Once the final WMP is drafted and ready to be reviewed
by San Fernando staff, Civiltec will facilitate adoption of the WMP by assisting in developing and delivering
a focused presentation to the San Fernando City
Council, highlighting major findings, proposed capital
improvements, and long-term funding strategies. We
will also be available to address questions and provide technical clarification during or after the public meeting to support the successful adoption of the water master
plan.
PHASE 7. 15-YEAR TERM CIP PLANNING (OPTIONAL)
Task 1 – Identification of Deficiencies
Civiltec will begin by assessing the condition and
performance of all major components of San Fernando’s
water system. This includes water supply wells, treatment plants, booster pump stations, reservoirs (including
the upcoming Reservoir 4A), SCADA and monitoring
systems, and emergency interconnections. Each asset
will be reviewed to understand its current state and how it compares to it ties into its expected infrastructure.
Civiltec will develop a methodology to identify cyclical maintenance requirements for tank coatings, pump
overhauls, valve refurbishments, meter replacement, and maintenance of other appurtenances. This methodology
will include measures to prevent system deficiencies due to system aging, and/or operational and administrative
practices to help offset those deficiencies and identify where the system is in need of repair or replacement
based on those cyclical maintenance requirements.
Task 2 – Prioritization and Planning
Using the results from the system evaluation during the 15-year term planning period, Civiltec will develop a list of recommended improvements and repairs, ranked by
importance. Prioritization will be based on factors like how likely a part is to fail, how critical it is to operations, the cost of failure, and whether work can be coordinated with other San Fernando projects. Improvements will be
grouped into short-term (0–5 years), mid-term (6–10
years), and long-term (11–15 years) timelines. Estimated costs, including inflation, will be provided for each item.
The Consultant will also include a maintenance plan for recurring high-cost tasks like well rehab or salt use. All results will be compiled into a clearly labeled section of the Master Plan, supported by spreadsheets, summary
tables, and maps for easy reference.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT 117 MACNEIL STREET, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340 (818) 898-1222 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: Wendell Johnson, Director of Public Works
Manuel Fabian, Civil Engineering Assistant II
Date: September 15, 2025
Subject: Consideration to Accept Project Completion and Authorize the Recordation of a Notice of Completion for Fog Seal Coating of City Parking Lots RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
a. Accept the improvements as constructed by Onyx Paving Company, Inc., and consider the work completed;
b. Authorize the issuance and filing of a “Notice of Completion” (Attachment “A”) with the Los Angeles County Office of the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk; and c. Authorize the release of the five (5) percent retention amount of $27,563.21 after the 35-day lien period from the date the Notice of Completion is recorded.
BACKGROUND:
1. As part of the City’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2024–2025 Budget, the City Council approved funding involving the rehabilitation of local roads, which includes parking lots, alleys and other paved roadways. This project was funded through Measure M and Measure R funds and included the installation of seal coating, asphalt repairs, crack sealing and new striping and pavement markings within the project limits. The funds allocated for this project was $600,000
2. On September 3, 2024, the City Council awarded Contract No. 2289 to Onyx Paving Company, Inc., (Contractor) in the amount of $552,560 for roadway resurfacing and striping and pavement marking improvements, which include parking lots. As part of the contract terms, a five percent (5%) retention was withheld from each progress payment to ensure that the Contractor would complete all work and the subsequent release of that retention in compliance with California Public Contracting Code, Section 7107.
September 15, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 193 of 288 Consideration to Accept Project Completion and Authorize the Recordation of a Notice of Completion for Fog Seal Coating of City Parking Lots
3. On November 19, 2024, a Notice to Proceed was issued to the Contractor.
4. On July 31, 2025, work was completed by the Contractor.
ANALYSIS:
The City has an ongoing maintenance program to address preventative maintenance and improve the general condition of the City’s infrastructure. The City’s system of 12 parking lots is critical to the livelihood of its Downtown Business and Civic areas. An effective parking lot maintenance program is important for ensuring the safety, functionality, and aesthetic appeal of the parking area.
The heavy use of the City’s parking lots has put significant stress on the existing pavement. To extend its lifespan, regular maintenance is required, including crack sealing, pothole repair, striping, and sealcoating (fog seal) to protect the surface from water damage, oxidation, and other factors that can cause deterioration.
Fog seal coating, a mixture of asphalt emulsion and water is applied to the asphalt surface of a road, street or highway, and is expected to extend the life of the pavement by approximately five (5) years, providing time for the City to secure funding for potential overlay, which involves grinding the existing pavement to a certain depth and repaving, or reconstruction of the parking lots, if needed. As part of the Fog Seal Coating project, work was completed on Public Parking Lots 6N, 7, 8, 9, 10, as well as the City Hall and San Fernando Police Department parking lots. The project includes pothole repair, crack sealing, and restriping of parking stalls. Upon further inspection, Lots 7 and 10 were found to be unsuitable for fog sealing. The contractor proposed overlaying Lots 7 and 10, which was completed within the existing budget.
In 2023, Parking Lots 1, 11, and 12 received a slurry seal as part of the Phase 2 Annual Street Resurfacing Project and are in good condition. Parking Lot 2 is concrete and cannot be fog sealed.
The remaining lots will be addressed in Fiscal Year 2025-2026 as part of a second fog seal project or in future projects, including the Calles Verdes project. A map of the work performed thus far and upcoming public parking lot projects can be found in Attachment “B”.
After a comprehensive evaluation, staff confirmed that the Contractor completed the project in accordance with the approved plans and specifications. Staff therefore recommends filing a Notice of Completion with the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk.
September 15, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 194 of 288 Consideration to Accept Project Completion and Authorize the Recordation of a Notice of Completion for Fog Seal Coating of City Parking Lots
BUDGET IMPACT:
The Fog Seal Coating of City Parking Lots was awarded to Onyx Paving Company, Inc., (Contract No. 2289) in the amount of $552,560 in September 2024. Project was completed under the original contract amount at a cost of $551,264, which includes a retention amount of $27,563.21.
A five percent (5%) retention is withheld from each progress payment to ensure that the Contractor will complete all its work and the subsequent release of that retention in compliance with California Public Contracting Code, Section 7107
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the improvements as constructed by Onyx Paving Company, Inc., consider the work completed, authorize the issuance and filing of the “Notice of Completion,” and authorize the release of the five (5) percent retention amount ($27,563.21) after the 35-day lien period from the date the Notice of Completion is recorded.

From: Kanika Kith, Interim City Manager
By: Wendell Johnson, Director of Public Works
Date: September 15, 2025
Subject: Discussion and Consideration to Approve a Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance No. 1736 Amending Chapter 90 (Traffic and Vehicles) of the San Fernando Municipal Code to Implement a Residential Parking Permit Program RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 1736 (Attachment “A”) that was introduced for first reading at the City Council meeting of September 2, 2025, in title only, and waive all further readings titled, “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City Of San Fernando, California, amending Chapter 90 (Traffic And Vehicles) of the San Fernando Municipal Code to implement a Residential Parking Permit Program (RPP)”.
BACKGROUND:
1. On April 15, 1991, the City Council established a Residential Parking Permit (RPP) Program with the adoption of Ordinance No. 1379.
2. On August 16, 2021, the City Council adopted the Citywide Parking Management Master Plan that, along with other parking related elements, recommended amendments and other modifications to the City’s current Residential Parking Permit Program.
3. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-2023, the City Council approved $100,000 in funding to engage a consultant to provide Residential Parking Permit Program implementation services.
4. On July 15, 2024, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement (Contract No. 2268) with Dixon Resources Unlimited (“Dixon”) for residential parking implementation professional consulting services in an amount to not exceed $84,735.
5. Since August 2024, staff and Dixon began conducting parking utilization studies, internal needs assessment with staff, and community engagement through a community wide survey and two (2) rounds of community meetings.
6. On November 7, 2024, and April 16, 2025, staff and Dixon met with the Parking Ad Hoc Committee to provide project updates and gather feedback.

7. On April 3, 2025, the Transportation and Public Safety Commission received and filed a presentation on the Citywide Residential Parking Permit Program.
8. On April 14, 2025, the Planning and Preservation Commission received and filed a presentation on the Citywide Residential Parking Permit Program.
9. On May 19, 2025, the City Council received a presentation on the overview of the Citywide Residential Parking Permit Program.
10. On July 7, 2025, staff presented the first of amendments to Chapter 90 of the San Fernando Municipal Code. These Amendments included restrictions on campers and RVs, and revitalizing the RPP program.
11. On August 4, 2025, staff presented the second reading of amendments to Chapter 90 of the San Fernando Municipal Code. The passage failed at the second reading.
12. On August 7, 2025, staff presented the draft version of the Administrative Guidelines to the Transportation and Public Safety Commission.
13. On August 18, 2025, the public hearing was continued to the next regular meeting.
14. On September 2, 2025, the City Council held a public hearing to consider Ordinance No. 1736 amending Chapter 90 (Traffic And Vehicles) of the San Fernando Municipal Code to implement a Residential Parking Permit Program (RPP). The City Council approved for first reading by a vote of four (4), with one (1) Councilmember abstaining.
ANALYSIS:
Local governments should update parking ordinances regularly to keep pace with changing transportation trends, urban development, and community needs. Updated ordinances can support economic growth by encouraging parking turnover in business districts and aligning with land use changes. They also help improve accessibility, ensure compliance with Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Regular reviews ensure the rules remain fair, legally sound, and effective in addressing the evolving demands of residents, businesses, and visitors. Parking was identified as one of the top 10 City Council priorities for the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year due to increased density and growing parking challenges.
Staff is proposing amendments to Chapter 90 of the San Fernando Municipal Code to address both the reestablishment of the RRP program and general language modernization throughout the chapter, including the modernization of the parking payment devices- parking meter- section of the Chapter. Full Ordinance is provided in Attachment “A”, and a redline version is provided in Attachment “B”.
September 15, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 202 of 288 Discussion and Consideration to Approve a Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance No. 1736 Amending Chapter 90 (Traffic and Vehicles) of the San Fernando Municipal Code to Implement a Residential Parking Permit Program
On May 19, 2025, the City Council received a presentation that summarized all aspects of the proposed RPP program. The purpose of this presentation was to get feedback from Council for potential inclusion in the proposed Ordinance and Administrative Guidelines, prior to formal introduction.
On July 7, 2025, the City Council approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 1735 on a 3- 1 vote in favor, with the following recommendations:
1. Clarify exceptions to the four (4) contiguous block minimum requirement in the RPP Administrative Guidelines; and
2. Clarify the process for establishing RPP zones in the Administrative Guidelines.
Both items will be addressed in the Administrative Guidelines, which was reviewed by the Transportation and Public Safety Commission on August 7, 2025. The tentative date to present the Administrative Guidelines to the City Council for consideration is tentatively scheduled for October 6, 2025.
On August 4, 2025, the City Council did not approve the second reading and suggested bringing back for first reading an updated ordinance. The Council recommended that the RV/Camper elements of the initial ordinance be bifurcated, leaving only the proposed RPP and parking payment device amendments as outlined below in the revised ordinance.
On September 2, 2025, the City Council held a public hearing to consider an updated Ordinance No. 1736 amending Chapter 90 (Traffic And Vehicles) of the San Fernando Municipal Code to implement a Residential Parking Permit Program (RPP), which was approved for first reading by a vote of four (4), with one Councilmember abstaining.
Residential Parking Permit Program.
The RPP Program ensures on-street parking in residential areas remains available to residents amid increased regional traffic. Benefits include reduced congestion, prioritized parking for residents, improved safety, and enhanced neighborhood livability.
The proposed amendments to the RPP Program address three (3) key aspects:
• City Council has the authority to create, modify, or dissolve parking zones through resolution.

• The remaining parameters of the program will be dictated by the Administrative Guidelines, which will be maintained by the Public Works director. This structure allows timely updates to address evolving parking needs while maintaining oversight.
Parking Payment Devices (Parking Meters).
Since 2024, the City has engaged in a comprehensive re-evaluation of its parking payment device program, with a particular emphasis on the City’s parking meters (more than 300 meters). This has included removing meters no longer compliant with state law, and the phasing out of old coin meters with new smart meters that accept several forms of payment.
The proposed Ordinance authorizes the City Manager (or designee) to adjust meter rates by up to $0.50 per fiscal year in $0.25 increments, based on data and operational costs. Larger changes require City Council approval. This allows timely, data-driven adjustments to meet demand and City policy goals.
General Updates to Chapter 90 (Traffic and Vehicles).
Originally adopted in 1957, Chapter 90 contained outdated provisions. These updates revise definitions, clarify parking restrictions, and ensure flexibility for future changes.
BUDGET IMPACT:
There is no direct budget impact to adopt amendments to Chapter 90, Traffic and Vehicles.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 1736 (Attachment “A”) that was introduced for first reading at the City Council meeting of September 2, 2025, in title only, and waive all further readings titled, “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City Of San Fernando, California, amending Chapter 90 (Traffic And Vehicles) of the San Fernando Municipal Code to implement a Residential Parking Permit Program (RPP)”.

CITY CLERK DEPARTMENT 117 MACNEIL STREET, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340 (818) 898-1204 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: Julia Fritz, City Clerk
Date: September 15, 2025
Subject: Discussion and Consideration to Designate a Voting Delegate and Alternate(s) for the 2025 League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo for the General Assembly Meeting
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
a. Designate a voting Delegate for the League of California Cities (“League”) 2025 Annual Conference and Expo for the General Assembly meeting (Attachment “A”); b. Designate up to two (2) Alternate Voting Delegate(s) who may vote in the event that the designated Delegate is unable to serve in that capacity; and c. Authorize the City Clerk to notify the League of the City Council appointed Voting Delegate/Alternate(s).
BACKGROUND:
1. On January 6, 2025, the City Council approved appointments to the San Fernando City Council Liaison Assignments, which included appointing Councilmember Victoria Garcia as the City Council Liaison and Mayor Mary Mendoza as the Alternate Liaison to the League of California Cities.
2. On July 16, 2025, the City Clerk received a request from the League of California Cities for the City Council to take action by September 24, 2025, and designate a Voting Delegate and up to two (2) Alternate(s) for the 2025 Annual Conference and Expo for the General Assembly meeting held at the Long Beach Convention Center in California on October 8-10, 2025.
ANALYSIS:
The League of California Cities is an organization that represents the interests of cities in California and provides a platform for collaboration, advocacy, and the sharing of best practices among its member cities. Member cities are those that pay annual dues in exchange for policy September 15, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 237 of 288 Discussion and Consideration to Designate a Voting Delegate and Alternate(s) for the 2025 League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo for the General Assembly Meeting
advocacy, educational resources, and other member benefits. The League hosts an Annual General Assembly meeting, an important event where representatives from member cities, such as the City of San Fernando, come together to make decisions, share insights, and participate in the organization’s democratic processes. Voting by member cities during the General Assembly is a key mechanism for ensuring democratic decision-making, representation, and collaboration across the state. This process helps align the League’s actions and priorities with the needs of its diverse member base, ultimately supporting the well-being and development of cities throughout California.
The League will host the Annual Conference and Expo on October 8-10, 2025, in Long Beach, California at the Long Beach Convention Center. An important part of the Annual Conference is the General Assembly meeting on Friday, October 10, 2025. At this meeting, League members consider and take action on resolutions that establish League policy. In order for the City to vote at the General Assembly meeting, the City Council must designate a Voting Delegate and may also appoint up to two (2) Alternate Voting Delegates, one (1) of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity.
Consistent with League bylaws, the City’s Voting Delegate (and up to two (2) Alternate Voting Delegates) must be designated by City Council action; Voting Delegates may not be appointed by individual action of the Mayor or City Manager alone (Attachment “A”).
The Voting Delegate and Alternate(s) must be registered to attend the conference; they do not need to register for the entire conference; they may register for the General Assembly meeting on Friday only. A Voting Delegate Card will be issued and may be transferred freely between the Voting Delegate and the Alternate(s); however, it may not be transferred to another city official.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Councilmembers are each allocated $5,000 per fiscal year for conferences, meetings and travel.
In turn, there are sufficient funds included in the Fiscal Year 2025–2026 Adopted Budget to cover the cost of attending the 2025 League of California Cities Annual Conference, should Councilmembers choose to attend. The act of designating a Voting Delegate and Alternate(s) will not impact the budget.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the City Council appoint a Voting Delegate and up to two (2) Alternates so that the City may participate in the General Assembly meeting and benefit from the development of League policy.

League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 8-10, 2025 Long Beach Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.
Taking place on Oct. 10, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.
To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.
Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Wed., Sept. 24. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.
Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.
Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.
Council Action Advised by September 24, 2025

AGENDA REPORT
ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT 117 MACNEIL STREET, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340 (818) 898-1202 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: Julio Salcedo, Director of Recreation & Community Services Date: September 15, 2025
Subject: Discussion and Consideration Regarding Collaboration with the Mexican Consulate to Host Consulate on Wheels Program Services, and Approve Co-Sponsorship and Use of the City Seal
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
a. Receive update regarding the Mexican Consulate to host “Consulate on Wheels Program Services” (“Consulate Services”) event in San Fernando; b. Provide direction on the selection of a facility to host the Consulate Services event in October 2025, including consideration of the San Fernando Regional Pool Conference Room or the Santa Rosa de Lima Church; and
c. Approve the use of the City seal on the print material and social media pursuant to City Council Ordinance No. 1724 (Attachment “A”).
BACKGROUND:
1. On June 2, 2025, the City Council approved the creation and delivery of a letter to the Mexican Consulate to establish communication and explore opportunities for collaboration.
2. On June 30, 2025, a letter addressed to Consul General Carlos Gonzalez and signed by the City Council was sent via email.
3. On July 25, 2025, staff received a response from the Mexican Consulate informing the City of facility and parking requirements that are essential in order to bring their services into San Fernando.
4. On August 18, 2025, staff presented the City Council a report on the response received from the Mexican Consulate in regards to the Consulate on Wheels Program. The City Council September 15, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 245 of 288 Discussion and Consideration Regarding Collaboration with the Mexican Consulate to Host Consulate on Wheels Program Services, and Approve Co-Sponsorship and Use of the City Seal
directed staff to explore the aquatic center and other potential venues for the Mexican Consulate services, work with Asociación de Jalisciences Unidos en Acción to secure a feasible facility and earlier date, if possible, reach out to groups such as the Masonic Lodge, and invite the Consulate to a future meeting to present event requirements.
5. On September 2, 2025, the City Council received an update from staff and a representative from the Mexican Consulate on possibly implementing Consulate Services in October and several locations as possible sites to implement the program.
6. On September 4, 2025, City staff, two (2) representatives from the Mexican Consulate, and Councilmember Lopez, visited potential event sites: the San Fernando Regional Pool Conference Room, the Poverello of Assisi Retreat, and Santa Rosa de Lima Church.
ANALYSIS:
The Mexican Consulate represents a strong potential partner for the City in delivering programs and services that meet the needs of San Fernando’s substantial population of residents who either retain Mexican citizenship or are descendants of Mexican citizens. Through this partnership, the City can help facilitate access to vital resources such as legal, health, education, and immigration services. In addition, the Consulate plays a significant role in promoting Mexican culture, language, and heritage, further strengthening community pride and inclusion. By working together, both entities can enhance community engagement and ensure that services remain accessible, culturally relevant, and responsive to community needs.
The Consulate also provides valuable outreach initiatives, including mobile consular services (Consulate on Wheels Program), financial literacy workshops, and other community support programs. This collaboration helps build trust between immigrant communities and local government, fostering a stronger sense of safety, belonging, and partnership.
Several potential sites needed to be evaluated to ensure they could meet the operational needs of the Consulate Services. Key considerations included adequate space to accommodate staff and community members, including a waiting area,sufficient parking for visitors, and reliable internet connectivity to support service delivery. The proposed Consulate on Wheels Program is tentatively scheduled to begin on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, until Saturday, November 1, 2025.
Offices would be open Tuesday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
On September 4, 2025, City staff, along with representatives from the Mexican Consulate, visited the following sites to evaluate their space for use: the San Fernando Regional Pool Facility, City Hall Conference Room, the Poverello of Assisi Retreat, and Santa Rosa de Lima Church.
Representatives from the Mexican Consulate determined that the San Fernando Regional Pool Facility’s Conference Room is the most suitable location to host the Consulate on Wheels September 15, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 246 of 288 Discussion and Consideration Regarding Collaboration with the Mexican Consulate to Host Consulate on Wheels Program Services, and Approve Co-Sponsorship and Use of the City Seal
Program (mobile consular services) due to its space for service delivery, parking accommodations and internet access. Santa Rosa de Lima Church could also serve as a potential location, if needed. The City Hall Community Room in conjunction with the City Councilmember Offices was not an option due to the lack of space for a waiting area, which is needed to accommodate approximately 200 clients per day, expected for this service. Regrettably, the Poverello of Assisi Retreat did not meet the required internet connectivity standards.
Staff is currently coordinating with the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation (County) for reservation for the Regional Pool Facility site. This coordination includes a calculated rental fee of approximately $12,000 for use of the space for a month. The City currently has a lease agreement (Attachment “B”) with the County for the San Fernando Regional Pool Facility, which allows the County to charge the City fees for use of the facilities due to the following lease term and condition:
Section 2.1.3(1) – City shall not be entitled to preferential use of the Facilities. In addition, City shall be subject to County’s standard rules and regulations with regard to use of the Facilities, including, without limitation, requirement of a separate written agreement with regard to each such use, and payment of applicable fees.
The following two (2) options are available:
• Option 1 – San Fernando Regional Pool Conference Room: The County is still reviewing whether to apply the estimated $12,000 or waive/reduce the facility use fee, taking into account the benefits this service would provide to the community. The County has tentatively reserved the San Fernando Regional Pool Conference Room for the event to occur on October 7, 2025, through November 1, 2025, with service hours scheduled Tuesday through Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. A follow-up response is anticipated by September 22, 2025, to confirm the reservation and associated costs. • Option 2 – Santa Rosa de Lima Catholic Church: Santa Rosa de Lima Catholic Church has also been identified as a viable site to host the event, meeting all necessary requirements.
The Church has agreed to offer the use of its facilities for the duration of the month at no facility rental cost. While no formal fees will be charged, the Church has indicated that voluntary donations would be welcomed.
This Consular on Wheels program would be advertised by the Mexican Consulate and promoted through the City of San Fernando’s social media outlets. A grand opening event would be coordinated with the Mexican Consulate where residents, agencies and regional media would be invited to make sure the full potential of the program services is used by our Community and surrounding areas.
September 15, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 247 of 288 Discussion and Consideration Regarding Collaboration with the Mexican Consulate to Host Consulate on Wheels Program Services, and Approve Co-Sponsorship and Use of the City Seal
BUDGET IMPACT:
The use of the conference room at the San Fernando Regional Pool would potentially cost approximately $12,000, and the City is currently awaiting a final response from the County on whether the fee will be waived or applied. However, Santa Rosa de Lima Church has been agreeable as an alternative option at no cost to the City or the Mexican Consulate for site use, but would accept any level of donations to the church to support bringing this service to the City.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the City Council discuss collaboration with the Mexican Consulate on providing Consulate Services in San Fernando; provide direction on the selection of a facility to host the Consulate Services from October 7, 2025 to November 1, 2025, including consideration of the San Fernando Regional Pool Conference Room or the Santa Rosa de Lima Church; and approve co-sponsorship and use of the City seal on the print material and social media posts.

Crosswalk Safety Near San Fernando Middle School and the Bike Path ✔ ✔ ✔
We have heard from numerous members of the community with safety concerns regarding Brand Blvd. in front of San Fernando Middle School. It is unclear whether the City or LAUSD is working toward making this area safer; however, this should be a coordinated effort between the City and the District. I would ask to make this a priority for our City because it is a priority for our community.
Additionally, the crosswalk on Glenoaks Blvd. leaving the bike path (between Arroyo and Griswold) is extremely dark at night and unsafe.
Provide direction to City staff to coordinate with LAUSD concerning safety initiatives in front of San Fernando Middle School and to gather information regarding safety options for the bike trail exiting onto Glenoaks Blvd. Provide regular updates on our City Council agendas under the "Receive and File Status Updates for Enhancements, Projects, and City Council Priorities" item. Provide any other direction that would further safety measures for these areas. ✔
