AGENDA REPORT
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DEPARTMENT 117 MACNEIL STREET, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340 (818) 898-1200 WWW.SANFERNANDO.GOV REVIEW: ☒ City Clerk ☒ Director of Admin. Services ☒ City Manager To: Mayor Joel Fajardo and Councilmembers
From: Kanika Kith, City Manager
By: Erica D. Melton, Director of Administrative Services

Date: February 17, 2026
Subject: Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Approving the Warrant Register RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-022 (Attachment “A”) approving the Warrant Register.

BACKGROUND:

For each City Council meeting the Finance Division prepares a Warrant Register for City Council approval. The Register includes all recommended payments for the City. Checks, other than special checks, generally are not released until after the City 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 City 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.

Subject: Consideration to Approve Co-Sponsorship of the North Los Angeles County Regional Center on Wheels Campaign, Approve Use of the City Seal, and Waive Facility Use Fees
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
a. Approve Co-Sponsorship of the North Los Angeles County Regional Center’s (NLACRC) “Regional Center on Wheels” campaign (Attachment “A”);
b. Approve the use of the City seal on print material and social media pursuant to City Council Ordinance No. 1724 (Attachment “B”); and
c. Waive facility use fees for use of City facilities for co-sponsored events, with City Manager approval.

BACKGROUND:

1. On April 24, 2025, NLACRC contacted City staff inviting the City to join their two-day Superhero Resource Fair held on July 22 and July 23 at their Chatsworth office.

2. On December 2, 2025, NLACRC contacted City staff inviting the City to join their “Regional Center on Wheels campaign”, which would bring resources to support individuals with developmental disabilities and their families closer to San Fernando on pre-planned dates.

ANALYSIS:

The City recognizes the importance of fostering an inclusive, resilient, and equitable community where all residents have access to services and support that promote independence, stability, February 17, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 107 of 448 Consideration to Approve Co-Sponsorship of the North Los Angeles County Regional Center’s Regional Center on Wheels campaign, Approve Use of the City Seal, and Waive Facility Use Fees

Page 2 of 3 ends

and overall well-being. To advance this commitment, the City seeks to strengthen partnerships that expand access to information and resources for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.

NLACRC is a community-based nonprofit organization contracted by the California Department of Developmental Services to coordinate lifelong services and support for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families throughout the region. With more than 50 years of experience supporting families in the San Fernando, Santa Clarita and Antelope valleys, NLACRC has served more than 35,000 clients.

As part of its outreach efforts to reduce barriers and increase service accessibility, NLACRC operates the Regional Center on Wheels campaign, a community-focused initiative designed to raise awareness and expand access to Regional Center services for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families by meeting residents where they are. Through mobile, in-person engagement, NLACRC staff provide information on eligibility, intake and referral processes, early intervention services, transition planning, and available community support. The Center assists individuals with intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and autism, connecting them with relevant service providers. Services connected through the Center are wide-ranging, including day care, physical therapy, education, and other ongoing supports.

Staff is requesting City Council approval to co-sponsor the NLACRC’s Regional Center on Wheels campaign. This co-sponsorship would allow the City to support outreach and awareness efforts, including the provision of City-owned space, use of event equipment, and assistance with event promotion and community outreach. Staff also requests authorization for use of the City Seal on promotional materials.

The proposed co-sponsorship would formalize the City’s limited, non-financial support of outreach activities conducted by the North Los Angeles County Regional Center (NLACRC) and enhance community awareness of services available to eligible residents. Such services include, but are not limited to, developmental screening and assessment, early intervention programs for infants and toddlers, individualized program planning and service coordination, family support and respite services, independent and supported living services, employment and vocational training supports, behavioral services, and community integration programs for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.

The proposed arrangement is limited to outreach and awareness efforts and does not establish an ongoing operational role, fiscal obligation, or funding commitment for the City. Available resources offered through the program would be advertised through the Business & Community Resource Center (BCRC). This partnership would be the first co-sponsorship hosted through the BCRC, filling a valuable resource gap that is needed in the community.

Page 3 of 3 ends

BUDGET IMPACT:

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 use 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 the NLACRC’s Regional Center on Wheels campaign; 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 facility use fees for use of City facilities for the co-sponsored events, with City Manager approval.

AGENDA REPORT
POLICE DEPARTMENT 910 FIRST STREET, SAN FERNANDO, CA 91340 (818) 898-1250 WWW.SANFERNANDO.GOV REVIEW: ☒ City Clerk ☒ Director of Admin. Services ☒ City Manager To: Mayor Joel Fajardo and Councilmembers
From: Kanika Kith, City Manager
By: Fabian Valdez, Police Chief

Date: February 17, 2026
Subject: Consideration to Authorize the Submittal of a Grant Application to the California Highway Patrol Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 to Support Selective Traffic Enforcement Details
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council authorize the preparation and submittal of a grant application for up to $200,000 to the California Highway Patrol (“CHP”) Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program for Fiscal Year 2026–2027 to support selective traffic enforcement details such as Driving Under the Influence (DUI)/Driving Under the Influence of Drugs (DUID) enforcement, education, and related activities.

BACKGROUND:

1. Approved by voters in 2018, Proposition 64 (the Control, Regulate, and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act) established a grant program administered by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to support local efforts to reduce impaired driving, increase public awareness of impaired driving risks, and improve roadway safety. The program provides approximately $13 million in funding, with a maximum award of $500,000 per application, and is available to eligible small and mid-size law enforcement agencies with 100 employees or fewer whose primary responsibility is traffic law enforcement.

2. On July 15, 2024, the City Council accepted a CHP Cannabis Tax Fund Grant totaling $103,412 to support DUI/DUID enforcement activities, including checkpoints and saturation patrols, community outreach and education, the purchase of preliminary alcohol screening (PAS) devices, oral fluid drug testing equipment, DUI checkpoint supplies, and related officer training.

3. On July 7, 2025, the City Council accepted an additional CHP Cannabis Tax Fund Grant in the amount of $189,866 to fund DUI/DUID enforcement operations, including checkpoints and saturation patrols, the purchase of handheld narcotics identification testing equipment, PAS printers and supplies, and impaired driving-related officer training.

4. In December 2025, the CHP announced the 2026-2027 Cannabis Tax Grant Fund Program Request for Applications (RFA) (Attachment “A”).

ANALYSIS:

The California Highway Patrol administers the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program, established pursuant to Proposition 64, which was approved by voters in November 2016, to provide competitive grant funding to local law enforcement agencies for activities that reduce impaired driving involving alcohol and drugs. Eligible uses of grant funds include DUI/DUID enforcement, officer training, equipment, and public education and outreach.

The San Fernando Police Department has applied for and received Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program funding since 2024. The Department has utilized grant funds to support DUI/DUID checkpoints, saturation patrols, officer training, and the purchase of impaired driving detection equipment.

If authorized by the City Council, the Police Department will submit a grant application for Fiscal Year 2026–2027 to support continued and expanded impaired driving enforcement and prevention efforts within the City of San Fernando. Grant funding would allow the Department to supplement regular traffic enforcement operations with targeted DUI/DUID activities, specialized training, and public education efforts focused on impaired driving. Proposed activities are designed to be scalable and integrated into existing operations based on staffing availability and operational needs.

The performance period for the proposed grant is one (1) year, July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, during which all grant-funded activities must be completed and eligible costs incurred. As part of the application, the Department must identify proposed activities and eligible costs to be supported by grant funding. Allowable costs under the program include the following:
• DUI/DUID Enforcement Activities: DUI/DUID saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints. • Officer Training: Training related to impaired driving detection and enforcement, including Standard Field Sobriety Test (SFST), Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE), and Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) training. • Registration and Travel Costs: Registration and travel costs for approved training courses, conferences, seminars, and workshops directly related to grant-funded activities. • Public Education and Outreach: Public education and outreach activities focused on impaired driving prevention, including presentations and educational materials.

Page 3 of 4 ends

• Social Media Outreach: Social media outreach costs associated with impaired driving education and prevention efforts.
• Equipment: Equipment purchases directly related to impaired driving enforcement, including non-expendable equipment with a useful life exceeding one (1) year and related supplies.

Specific activities and purchases proposed in the application are subject to CHP approval prior to funding authorization.

Through this grant application, the Police Department is requesting funding for the following activities during the one-year grant period:

1. Conduct one (1) grant-funded DUI/DUID checkpoint during the grant performance period.

2. Conduct two (2) saturation patrols during the grant period, consisting of targeted patrol operations focused on identifying and arresting impaired drivers in high-risk areas.

3. Purchase DUI checkpoint materials and supplies, including lights, vests, and anti-fatigue mats, for use during grant-funded operations.

4. Purchase one (1) DUI Electronic Message Board to support grant-funded DUI/DUID checkpoints by providing advance public notification and safety messaging.

5. Conduct public education and outreach activities related to impaired driving prevention.

6. Provide DUI investigation certification training for at least two (2) officers, such as Standard Field Sobriety Tests (SFST) Training, Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) Training, or Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) Training).

To support these activities, staff recommends requesting up to $200,000 in grant funding through the CHP Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program for Fiscal Year 2026–2027. The requested amount reflects anticipated costs for DUI/DUID enforcement operations, officer training, equipment purchases, and public education and outreach during the grant period. Grant funds would support targeted enforcement and related training, equipment, overtime, travel, and temporary staffing coverage, with activities carried out as part of the Department’s regular operations based on staffing availability and operational needs.

For these reasons, staff recommends proceeding with the submittal of the grant application for Fiscal Year 2026–2027.

BUDGET IMPACT:

The Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program is a reimbursement-based grant program and does not require a City match. There is no budget impact associated with authorizing the submittal of the grant application. If the City is awarded grant funds, staff will return to the City Council at a later date with a resolution to accept the award and appropriate funds in accordance with grant requirements.

CONCLUSION:

It is recommended that the City Council authorize the preparation and submittal of a grant application for up to $200,000 to the CHP Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program for Fiscal Year 2026–2027 to support selective traffic enforcement details such as DUI/DUID enforcement, education, and related activities.

Subject: Consideration to Accept a Donation of 200 Laptops from the County of Los Angeles for Distribution to San Fernando Residents Under the “Delete the Divide” Initiative RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council authorize staff to accept a donation of 200 laptops from the County of Los Angeles for distribution to San Fernando residents under the “Delete the Divide” Initiative (Attachment “A”).

BACKGROUND:

1. On November 16, 2021, the County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors (Board) approved a motion to invest in immediate and longer-term efforts to facilitate affordable and reliable high-speed internet services to underserved communities impacted by the digital divide. The motion designated the Internal Services Department (ISD) as the lead department responsible for coordinating the County’s efforts on all community broadband infrastructure and residential service initiatives to close the digital divide.

2. On October 17, 2022, the City Council authorized a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and the County of Los Angeles to support broadband connectivity and address the digital divide (Attachment “B” – Contract No. 2115). Through this MOU, the City has participated in the County Intergovernmental Broadband Coordinating Committee (IBCC) to develop, implement, and evaluate digital inclusion activities with Federal grant funding resources to ensure that communities most in need throughout the Los Angeles County region have equitable access to and use of digital inclusion resources and services to thrive in day-to-day activities.

3. On October 7, 2024, the City Council approved a letter of commitment as an IBCC agency as part of its application for the Competitive Grant Program through available Digital Equity Act funds.

Page 2 of 3 ends

4. On January 15, 2026, representatives from the City met with the County of Los Angeles ISD to discuss potential partnership to donate approximately 200 laptop computers to the City to distribute to eligible San Fernando residents, with a targeted distribution timeline of March 2026.

ANALYSIS:

Reducing the digital divide in underserved communities is essential to ensuring equitable access to education, employment, health services, and civic participation. These digital inequities disproportionately impact lower income households and communities that are predominantly Black, Latino, and Indigenous communities with lower educational attainment, and older adults (ages 65 years and older). A computer and reliable internet services are essential to accessing education, employment opportunities, healthcare services, financial resources, support networks, and business. In the City, many households continue to face barriers to reliable internet, modern devices, and digital skills support.

To address this issue, Los Angeles County established a “Delete the Divide Initiative” through its Internal Services Department (Attachment “C”). As part of this initiative, the County sponsored over 200 free laptop giveaway events distributing over 7,000 laptops since 2023 throughout the region. In January 2026, the County contacted City staff to host an event in San Fernando to donate laptops. Through this opportunity, the County has approximately 200 brand-new, business-class Windows laptop computers available for distribution to qualified residents in the north San Fernando Valley. The County is seeking to partner with cities to host a special Citysponsored distribution event. Under the proposed partnership framework:
• Los Angeles County would donate 200 laptops for a city-hosted event to advance digital inclusion, strengthen community resilience, and align with broader regional efforts to expand connectivity in the northern San Fernando Valley. • The laptops would be donated at no cost to the city for distribution at no cost to residents.

The city would not be responsible for purchasing or maintaining the equipment. • The County’s “Delete The Divide” team would manage the application, eligibility determination, and on-site distribution of laptops.
• The City would assist with outreach, marketing, and promotion, including distributing the County-provided online application link to residents.
• The County will not cover City expenses associated with event logistics or marketing; however, the city may elect to support the event using existing staff and facilities. • The County is open to co-branding the opportunity with the City of San Fernando. • The anticipated timeframe for distribution would occur in March 2026 at Las Palmas Park.

Page 3 of 3 ends

To ensure an efficient and equitable distribution process, the County utilizes a capacity-capped online application and automated eligibility determination system. Applicants self-attest to eligibility criteria, including County residency and confirmation that the household has not previously received a laptop through the program. Applicants are notified in advance of approval or denial. Approved residents are invited to attend the distribution event in person to receive the laptop.

In coordination with the County, the city will conduct targeted outreach and marketing efforts to local students, parent-teacher academies, the Senior Club and at park facilities to ensure that 200 City residents successfully register to participate in the program. In addition, the city will provide access to newly installed registration kiosks at park facilities and City Hall. Las Palmas Park will also designate specific times during its computer and technology classes to accommodate multiple residents registering simultaneously, with staff available on-site to provide assistance.

This donation from the County represents a significant opportunity to address the digital divide in the city. Doing so will progress the 2022-2026 Citywide Strategic Goal 1.3 Focus on Community First: “Improve the City’s use of technology to enhance customer service, work more efficiently, improve transparency for residents, businesses and other stakeholders, and increase community access to broadband.”
BUDGET IMPACT:

There is no budget impact on the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Adopted Budget to authorize this donation acceptance. The laptop devices are provided at no cost, and participation is voluntary.

Any City support would be limited to existing staff time, facilities, and outreach resources.

CONCLUSION:

Partnering with the County of Los Angeles under the “Delete The Divide” initiative represents a timely opportunity to expand access to technology for San Fernando residents and help address the digital divide without financial impact to the City. Staff recommends authorization to proceed with acceptance of the donation of 200 laptops from Los Angeles County which would enable staff to facilitate a laptop distribution event within the city.

ANALYSIS:

Pollinator gardens play an important role in supporting ecosystems by increasing native plant diversity and providing critical habitat for pollinators, which are essential to food production and environmental health. The proposed pollinator garden at Cindy Montañez Natural Park will contribute to these efforts while offering educational value to park visitors and residents.

According to the project proposal submitted by the Eagle Scout candidate, D’Alessandro Hernandez, the individual will lead volunteers in all phases of the project, including planning, fundraising, material acquisition, site preparation, installation, and cleanup. The project is scheduled to begin on March 28, 2026, with completion anticipated by March 29, 2026.

All labor, materials, tools, and supplies associated with the project will be provided through fundraising, donations, and volunteer efforts organized by the Eagle Scout candidate. The City will not incur costs related to the project’s implementation.

Public Works and Recreation and Community Services staff have reviewed the project and confirmed that the proposed improvements are feasible within the designated park area. These areas include currently empty, mostly dirt areas located at different points in the park as shown in the attached PowerPoint (Attachment “B”). This project will not conflict with future renovation of the park.

This project will enhance Cindy Montañez Natural Park by promoting biodiversity and providing educational opportunities for the community, at no cost to the City. Staff will continue to work closely with the Eagle Scout candidate to ensure the project is completed safely, efficiently, and in compliance with City standards.

BUDGET IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund. All costs associated with the Eagle Scout Service Project, including materials, supplies, tools, and labor, will be funded through donations and volunteer contributions secured by the Eagle Scout candidate.

CONCLUSION:

It is recommended that City Council Approve the proposed Eagle Scout Service Project to install a pollinator garden at Cindy Montañez Natural Park; accept a donation from Eagle Scout D’Alessandro Hernandez for the Eagle Scout Service Project titled “Buzzing Biodiversity:

Pollinator Garden at Cindy Montañez Natural Park”; and authorize the installation by D’Alessandro Hernandez and volunteers of the pollinator garden improvements at Cindy Montañez Natural Park.

Briefly Describe your project
“Buzzing Biodiversity: Pollinator Garden at Cindy Montanez Natural Park” Site: Cindy Montanez Natural Park, 810 Eighth St, San Fernando, CA 91340 United States
I chose to focus on creating a pollinator garden because I am a part of Eco's Chicos which is a club in my high school that aims to raise awareness about environmental issues and inspire stewardship of the world around us. Last year we learned that a 2024 study assessing nearly 1,600 native pollinator species in North America found that over 20% of the species are at elevated risk of extinction, driven by threats like climate change, agricultural intensification, altered water and fire regimes, as well as urban development, making pollinator gardens a positive way to help repopulate those species.

Pollinator gardens support bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and more insects that are crucial players in ecosystems, responsible for pollinating over 80% of flowering plant species. These gardens enhance genetic diversity among plants, helping ecosystems better resist stress and recover. It is important especially in urban areas as well as residential gardens to plant pollinators as these gardens help by improving air quality, reduce urban heat and help capture and store carbon in the atmosphere and reduce the impact of climate change. Pollinator gardens also help manage stormwater and produce more nectar, by supporting a higher diversity of pollinators.

My project focuses on five areas of the park that cover the main entrance of the park.

The purpose of my project is to create a visually appealing area for the members of the community to continue to enjoy the community park as well as increasing biodiversity, offering educational opportunities, and supporting pollinator populations.

Tell how your project will be helpful to the beneficiary. Why is it needed? My Eagle Project of a Pollinator Garden will enhance the community park by creating a sustainable habitat for essential pollinators using native, low-maintenance plants. It will promote ecological health, strengthen the park’s resilience to climate impacts, and act as a living classroom for environmental education. My Eagle Project also nurtures mental health through beautiful, biodiverse green spaces and brings community members together in civic stewardship and shared pride for their environment and its surroundings.

February 17, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 159 of 448 6 Pollinator gardens provide critical food and habitat for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators, helping to counteract habitat loss and species declines that are happening nationwide. Native flowering plants supply nectar and pollen throughout the growing season — resources that pollinators need to feed, reproduce, and survive. Without sufficient habitat, pollinator populations continue to shrink, compromising the health of ecosystems and food systems we rely on.

The Pollinator Garden is not only needed to make the specific areas in the park more beautiful, it also allows pollinator species to repopulate and thrive in our community and broader environment.
• Ecological Benefits: By supporting pollinators, the garden helps improve plant reproduction and strengthens biodiversity; pollinators are essential to the health of native plants, which in turn support other wildlife. Native plants also improve soil structure, reduce erosion, enhance water infiltration, and increase resilience against climate extremes. • Environmental Health: Native pollinator gardens help manage stormwater more naturally, reduce heat islands, and improve air and water quality. They also reduce reliance on pesticides and fertilizers that can harm wildlife.
• Support for Insects, Birds, Bees & Butterflies: Pollinators like bees and butterflies provide essential ecosystem services — without them, many wild plants and nearly one-third of the food we eat wouldn’t be able to produce seeds or fruit. Birds and other animals also benefit from the increased food and habitat complexity that diverse plantings provide. • Community & Educational Impact: The garden will serve as a living classroom where students, families, and park visitors can learn about ecology, conservation, and sustainable landscaping practices. Pollinator gardens foster environmental awareness and encourage stewardship and civic engagement when community members participate in planting and maintenance.
• Mental and Social Well-Being: Spending time in nature has been shown to reduce stress and enhance well-being. Beautiful, biodiverse green spaces like this garden invite people to connect with nature, promoting mental wellness and a sense of community pride.

Another way this project helps the City is by conserving public funds, since a low-maintenance native garden requires less watering, fewer chemical inputs, and reduced long-term upkeep compared with traditional landscaping. This allows resources to be directed toward other parks or community needs without compromising environmental quality or public enjoyment.

February 17, 2026 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 160 of 448 7 Giving Leadership
How many volunteers will you need?
I will probably need about 15 volunteers to help me with the project. Some will need to help with digging up the old plants and putting in the new plants in the 5 areas of the park which are all in the same area.

Where will you recruit them?
My focus will be recruiting from Troop 58, The Bill Hart Venturing Crew, Eco's Chicos from Canyon High School, Family and Friends and possibly the Volunteer Group from the City of San Fernando.

What do you think will be most difficult about leading them? I think the most difficult thing about leading this amount of people is to make sure I communicate what needs to be done so that work is completed in a timely manner.

This rough time estimate depends heavily on how many people show up and how fast we can get working. The less people show up the longer this project will take to get done. This project is a big project and it is possible to get done but it will take a while.

Center work Area: Sides are 16 feet 6.5 Inches Long , Back Area 19 feet 6 Inches The area needs to be cleaned and soil prepped. The area also has an existing irrigation system that will water the plants. This area will include a combination of plants to fill the area and provide a variety of colors. This being the main area would have an acrylic sign welcoming people to the community garden and two other signs describing the types of plants and the benefits to birds, bees, hummingbirds. It would also describe the benefits of the pollinator garden for the community and environment.

From: Kanika Kith, City Manager

Date: February 17, 2026
Subject: Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Initiating Proceedings for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Levy of Annual Assessments for the Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District and Ordering the Engineer’s Report
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
a. Adopt Resolution No. 8436 (Attachment “A”) initiating the proceedings for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027 Levy of Annual Assessments for the Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District; and
b. Order the preparation of the Engineer’s Report
BACKGROUND:

1. In FY 1981-1982, the City Council established a citywide Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District (LLAD) pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code, to cover street lighting maintenance and operational costs. The LLAD is comprised of 5,178 parcels and the assessment, based on benefit, has been levied each year since that time.

2. In April 1995, the City Council accepted staff’s recommendations to continue using the current assessment methodology with the exception of those assessments for single family corner lots, which would be based on front footage only (side yards not included). The change in assessing corner lots began in FY 1995-1996 and has continued through the present year.

3. In FY 2002-2003, the City conducted property owner protest ballot proceedings for a proposed assessment increase. The proposed increase was not approved.

4. In FY 2003-2004, the City again submitted a proposed assessment increase to the property owners based on the LLAD’s estimated expenses and revenues. The property owners approved the proposed assessment increase and established new maximum assessment rates for the various land use classifications within the LLAD.

5. For FY 2023-2024, the LLAD Engineer’s Report determined that estimated operating and personnel costs would be $331,181. The total assessment levy of $331,181 was submitted to the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office for processing.

ANALYSIS:

A Landscape Lighting Assessment District (LLAD) is a designated geographical area where property owners are required to pay a special assessment for the installation, operation, maintenance, and improvement of outdoor lighting within that area. The purpose of a LLAD is to improve the aesthetic appeal, safety, and security of the neighborhoods through the use of well-designed and maintained outdoor lighting. Property owners within the district typically vote to establish the district and agree to pay the assessment fees. The fees are calculated to equitably assess properties in accordance with special benefits received from improvements and to cover the cost of maintenance and operation of the lighting system within the City’s streets.

The City’s LLAD has been in effect since FY 1981-1982, under the 1972 Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District Act. The current methodology for assessments has been used since 1995 and staff will continue with the same methodology this year.

The City awarded an Professional Services Agreement (Contract No. 2449) to Willdan Financial Services to prepare the required LLAD Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Years 2025-2030. The firm is currently under an engineering services agreement with the City and are experienced and very familiar with the City’s LLAD. The work timeline is shown in Attachment “B”, and the proposed scope of services to prepare the Report is consistent with last year’s LLAD proceedings. The proceedings will be conducted in accordance with the State of California Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.

The costs outlined in the Engineer’s Report for FY 2026-2027 will be included in the proposed City’s Budget and will be assessed in FY 2026-2027 after City Council consideration and approval.

City staff recommends using the same assessment methodology. The exact amounts and the assessment rate comparison will be shown in the Engineer’s Report.

BUDGET IMPACT:

Sufficient funding has been allocated in the current FY 2025-2026 Adopted Budget within Account No. 027-344-0000-4260 (Street Lighting Fund – Operating Expenses) to cover the cost of ordering the Engineer’s Report.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the City Council direct staff to proceed with the FY 2026-2027 LLAD by adopting the resolution to initiate procedures and ordering the Engineer’s Report.
