ATTACHMENT A - SCOPE OF WORK
1. Scope of Work
The Scope of Work is described as follows.
2. Background
The Orange County Transportation Authority’s (OCTA) Environmental Cleanup Program (ECP) provides a two percent allocation of annual gross Measure M2 (M2) revenues to improve overall water quality in Orange County from transportation-related pollution. The ECP competitive funds can be used to implement water quality improvement projects addressing pollutants originating from or conveyed through transportation systems. These funds will assist Orange County cities and the County of Orange in meeting federal Clean Water Act standards for urban runoff through the purchase and installation of recognized structural best management practices (BMPs). Third parties such as public water and wastewater agencies, environmental advocacy organizations, and homeowners associations may also nominate projects through a municipality that is willing and able to take responsibility for carrying out and maintaining the project.
3. Description of Project
In concert with the M2 Grant Program, this Scope of Work is designed to assemble a panel of Contractors to achieve economies of scale on a list of fixed unit prices for the purchase and installation of equipment and devices designed to remove litter, debris, and other water quality pollutants, herein referred to as “Stormwater Treatment Devices.” Selected Contractors will be part of a Master Agreement with the County of Orange that will allow municipalities to select from a listing of Contractors to provide, supply, fabricate, construct, deliver, and install Stormwater Treatment Devices. Municipalities wishing to use this Contract may purchase BMPs with M2 grant monies or any other funding source.
Accordingly, the goal of this Contract is to achieve strategic savings that would benefit the County and OCTA to act as the purchasing and contract administrators for M2 grant-eligible entities. Awarded ECP entities are not obligated to utilize the selected Contractors. Rather, this process is intended to provide a mechanism for reduced rates for equipment and its installation for Orange County municipalities, including those implementing projects with M2 funding. In addition, if a local agency utilizes this Contract, a separate agreement, city council resolution, or other protocol may be necessary with the selected Contractor(s). The eligible qualifications are discussed below.
4. Eligibility Qualifications
Stormwater Treatment Devices must be capable of handling flows from a design storm of 0.2-inches/hour.
The hydrologic method to be used to calculate the flow associated with LID and water quality design storm flow is:
Frequired = C × I × A
Where Frequired = Flow capacity (cubic feet/sec); C = runoff coefficient (ranges from 0 to 1); I = 0.2 inches/hour; and A = tributary area (acres).

Trash and Debris Capture Devices
File No. 2736403
Treatment devices should also be able to operate in a hydraulic surcharge condition (defined as a condition that exceeds the design discharge) without releasing stored pollutants to the receiving water. Stormwater Treatment Devices which meet this definition and would be eligible for consideration are:
A. Hydrodynamic Separation and Gross Solids Removal Devices Hydrodynamic separators are flow-through structures with a settling or separation unit to remove sediments and other pollutants and are widely used in stormwater treatment. No outside power source is required, because the energy of the flowing water allows the sediments to efficiently separate. Depending on the type of unit, this separation may be by means of centrifugal force or indirect filtration.
Gross Solids Removal Devices (either linear radial or inclined screen) are structural best management practices designed to remove trash, vegetative material, and other particles of relatively large, gross size from stormwater runoff.
B. Catch Basin Inserts
Catch basin inserts are designed to remove oil and grease, trash, debris, and sediment and improve the efficiency of catch basins. Some inserts are designed to drop directly into existing catch basins, while others may require retrofit construction. Several varieties of catch basin inserts exist for filtering runoff.
C. Automatic Retractable Screens
Automatic retractable screens are mounted inside a storm drain inlet and are designed to remain closed to capture debris during the dry season. During storm events, the screens retract, allowing heavy flows to enter the storm drain.
D. Cartridge Filter-type Control Devices
Cartridge filter–type controls typically consist of a series of vertical filters contained in a vault or catch basin that provide treatment through filtration and sedimentation.
E. Biological Treatment Devices
Bioretention devices include raingardens, swales, and filter strips; all use plants and substrate to detain and filter stormwater to reduce excessive runoff from roads and paved surfaces, and provide opportunities for enhancing natural landscape and biodiversity elements in the urban environment.
F. In-line Trash and Debris Capture Devices (Trash Booms and Trash Nets) Trash booms and nets are designed to assist in the control, containment and recovery of floating trash, debris, timber, urban waste or aquatic plants. Typically built as floating structures, these devices are designed to control pollution along the surface of the water.
G. New, Emerging, or Alternative Trash and Debris Devices Upon request, the Contractor shall submit supplemental proposals for new, emerging, or alternative trash and debris removal devices reasonably related to the categories listed within Attachment A Section 4 and to meet the intent of Attachment A Section 3. Contractor must obtain written approval from the County and/or local agency designee prior to commencing any work for these new, emerging, or alternative trash and debris removal devices, which may include but not be limited to design, fabrication, and/or installation of these devices not already included in this scope of work. Upon completion of any work related to these devices, the local agency designee and Contractor will inspect the finished product at no Docusign Envelope ID: 66B81198-7190-4167-9EE0-14B72F061C12 PAGE 284 of 688

Description of General Fund Costs
The installation of storm drain trash capture devices has been implemented as a multi-year program funded entirely through Measure W Safe Clean Water Program funds, with no impact to the General Fund.
FY 202526 completed the final phase of installations within City-owned catch basins. Staff recommend $225,000 in new funding for FY 202627 to begin the next phase focusing on the installation of trash capture devices in approximately 78 catch basins owned by the County of Los Angeles within the Citys jurisdiction.
Completion of this work will require coordination with a contractor and the procurement of permits from the Los Angeles County Flood Control District. The proposed FY 202627 budget includes the costs associated with permitting, in addition to installation.
This project is essential to improving stormwater quality and ensuring compliance with State Water Resources Control Board regulations, while continuing to leverage dedicated Measure W funding. $ 225,000

SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PURCHASE OF JOHN DEERE BACKHOE IN
THE AMOUNT OF $174,274.89 FOR THE PARKS AND
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
STRATEGIC PLAN CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS
Fiscally Responsible and Transparent City Government
Well-Maintained Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
On May 29, 2026, the City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Operating and Capital Improvement Budgets. As part of the capital equipment budget, the City Council appropriated $175,000 for the purchase of a replacement backhoe for the Parks and Public Works Department.
The new backhoe will replace the Department’s larger backhoe, a JCB model that is more than 20 years old and has exceeded its reliable service life. The existing equipment is used for maintenance activities requiring greater excavation capacity and the loading and movement of larger quantities of debris and materials throughout the City. It is also an important resource for emergency response and storm cleanup operations.
The FY 2026-27 capital equipment request identified the existing backhoe as having recurring mechanical issues and increasing difficulty obtaining replacement parts, resulting in growing maintenance costs and reduced equipment availability.

DISCUSSION
The Parks and Public Works Department currently operates two backhoes that are essential to a variety of maintenance and operational activities, including excavation, trenching, material handling, debris removal, and emergency response. The Department’s smaller backhoe was replaced in FY 2023-24 with a John Deere model equipped with turf tires. This configuration allows staff to perform excavation and other maintenance activities in landscaped areas while minimizing impacts to existing turf and landscaping.
The Department’s larger backhoe is a JCB model that is more than 20 years old and has exceeded its reliable service life. The equipment has experienced recurring mechanical issues and has been out of service for nearly a year. In addition, replacement parts have become increasingly difficult and costly to obtain, making continued repairs and maintenance impractical and not costeffective. The equipment’s age and condition have also reduced the Department’s ability to rely on it for routine operations and emergency response.
The larger backhoe provides capabilities that complement the Department’s smaller unit and are particularly important for projects requiring greater excavation capacity and the loading and movement of larger quantities of debris and materials. The equipment also plays an important role in emergency response and storm cleanup activities. For example, the larger backhoe was used extensively during the January 2025 windstorm cleanup to assist staff with the removal and loading of large debris and fallen tree limbs.
Replacement of the existing backhoe will improve fleet reliability, reduce downtime associated with equipment repairs, increase staff efficiency, and ensure that the Department has appropriate heavy equipment available for routine maintenance and emergency response activities. The replacement backhoe is anticipated to have a useful service life of approximately 20 years.
Equipment Selection
The Department evaluated available equipment options and obtained a proposal from John Deere for a new 310 P Backhoe Loader. Department staff also participated in a demonstration of the proposed equipment to evaluate its capabilities and suitability for the City’s operational needs. The proposed John Deere 310 P Backhoe Loader includes a multipurpose bucket, hammer hydraulics, a street package for loading, an 18-inch bucket, and an extended warranty. The total purchase price is $174,274.89.
PAGE 296 of 688
Staff also considered the Department’s existing familiarity with John Deere equipment. The Department currently operates a smaller John Deere backhoe purchased in 2023, and maintenance staff are familiar with the operation, maintenance, and service requirements of John Deere equipment. Purchasing equipment from the same manufacturer will provide operational continuity, minimize the need for additional equipment-specific training, and facilitate the transition to the replacement unit.
As part of the equipment evaluation, staff also obtained pricing for comparable equipment from other major manufacturers. Caterpillar provided pricing of approximately $210,000, while Case Construction Equipment provided pricing of approximately $215,000. The John Deere proposal of $174,274.89 is therefore substantially lower than the comparable equipment pricing obtained by staff while still meeting the Department’s operational needs.
Based on the equipment’s capabilities, the results of the equipment demonstration, competitive pricing, availability through the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract, and staff familiarity with John Deere equipment, staff recommend proceeding with the purchase of the John Deere 310 P Backhoe Loader.
FISCAL IMPACT & PROCUREMENT REVIEW
The City Council approved $175,000 in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Capital Improvement Budget for the purchase of a replacement backhoe. The final proposal from John Deere is $174,274.89, which is within the approved appropriation and leaves $725.11 in the approved capital equipment budget.
The replacement backhoe will require routine maintenance and servicing over its useful life. These ongoing costs are anticipated to be accommodated within the Department’s existing operating budget.
The Department will procure the backhoe through the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract. As part of the procurement review, staff also obtained and evaluated pricing for comparable equipment from Caterpillar and Case Construction Equipment. The pricing received was approximately $210,000 for Caterpillar equipment and $215,000 for Case equipment, compared with $174,274.89 for the proposed John Deere equipment. Based on the pricing comparison and the equipment’s ability to meet the Department’s operational needs, staff determined that the proposed John Deere purchase represents the most competitive option evaluated.
PAGE 297 of 688
The procurement is consistent with the City’s procurement policy, which permits the use of cooperative purchasing alliances pursuant to SMCC
02.06.05.B.6.
The Finance Director has reviewed this staff report for compliance with San Marino City Code §02.06.05.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney's office has reviewed and approved as to form.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend that the City Council approve the purchase of one new John Deere 310 P Backhoe Loader from John Deere Equipment in the amount of $174,274.89. If the Council concurs, an appropriate motion would be:
“I move to approve the purchase of one John Deere 310 P Backhoe Loader from John Deere Equipment in the amount of $174,274.89.”

The Department maintains two backhoes that are essential for maintenance operations requiring excavation, trenching, and loading of materials. The smaller backhoe was replaced in FY 2023-24. This request it to replace the Department's larger backhoe, which has exceeded its reliable service life and has experienced recurring mechanical issues resulting in extended periods out of service. Due to the equipment's age and increasing difficulty obtaining replacement parts, continued repairs are no longer practical or cost-effective.
The larger backhoe is critical for operations involving heavier excavation and the movement of larger quantities of debris and materials. It is also an important asset during emergency response and storm clean up efforts. For example, the equipment was used extensively during the 2025 windstorm cleanup to remove large debris and fallen tree limbs. Replacing this equipment will restore operational reliability, improve staff efficiency and support essential maintenance and emergency response activities. A new backhoe has an expected useful life of approximately 20 years.

FY 26-27
The new backhoe will require routine maintenance to ensure proper function. This maintenance can be sufficiently covered by the Department's operating budget.

BACKGROUND
The Community Development Department contracts with The Code Group, Inc. dba VCA Code (VCA Code) to provide building plan check and inspection services. VCA has been providing building inspection and plan check services for the City since 1990. VCA has also provided the City with other professional engineering services as required to assist staff in delivering services to residents, including fire prevention inspections and fire plan review.
On September 27, 2024, the City Council approved a three-year Professional Services Agreement with VCA Code through September 27, 2027. The agreement established an annual compensation limit of $221,000.
On March 11, 2026, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to add optional expedited plan review services.

The adopted Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget included $250,000 in Account No. 101-14-4104-6270, Contract Building and Safety Services, for VCA Code plan check and inspection services.
DISCUSSION
During Fiscal Year 2025-26, the City experienced a higher-than-anticipated volume and more complex level of development activity that required building plan check, fire plan check, fire inspection, and over-the-counter plan check services. A significant portion of the increased workload was associated with major capital projects at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens, in addition to ongoing residential and other development activity throughout the City.
The cost of these services is offset by plan check, inspection, and related fees collected from project applicants. As development activity increases, the City also receives corresponding fee revenue.
Due to the increased demand for plan check and inspection services, Fiscal Year 2025-26 expenditures totaled $306,051.30. This exceeded the adopted budget of $250,000 by $56,051.30 and the agreement’s annual compensation limit of $221,000 by $85,051.30.
Staff recommends approving the Fiscal Year 2025-26 expenditures and a budget adjustment increasing the appropriation in Account No. 101-14-4104- 6270 by $56,051.30. Staff also recommends increasing the FY 2025-26 revenues in Account No. 101-14-3308-0000 by 56,051.30.
Development activity is expected to remain at a similar level during Fiscal Year 2026-27, including continued work associated with major projects at The Huntington. Based on Fiscal Year 2025-26 expenditures and anticipated demand, staff recommends increasing both the agreement’s annual compensation limit and the Fiscal Year 2026-27 appropriation to $350,000.
Use of the expedited plan review option may also increase expenditures in the Contract Building and Safety Services account. Those costs would be offset by additional fees paid by the applicant requesting expedited review.
The proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget adjustment would increase Account No. 101-14-4104-6270 by $100,000, from $250,000 to $350,000. Staff also proposes a budget adjustment to Account No. 101-14-3308-0000 in the amount of $100,000.Staff will continue monitoring expenditures, contract authority, and related fee revenues throughout the fiscal year.
The cost of VCA Code’s services is offset by plan check, inspection, and related fees collected from project applicants and recorded in the applicable City PAGE 322 of 688
revenue accounts, including Revenue Account No. 101-14-3308-0000, Plan Check Fees. A significant portion of the Fiscal Year 2025–26 expenditures was associated with major capital projects at The Huntington, which generated corresponding plan check and inspection fee revenue.
FISCAL IMPACT & PROCUREMENT REVIEW
Fiscal Year 2025-26 expenditures for VCA Code plan check and inspection services totaled $306,051.30. Approval of the recommended Fiscal Year 2025- 26 budget adjustments would increase appropriations in Account No. 101-14- 4104-6270 by $56,051.30 and revenues in Account No. 101-14-3308-0000 by $56,051.30.
Approval of the recommended Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget adjustment would increase appropriations in Account No. 101-14-4104-6270 by $100,000 and revenues in Account No. 101-14-3308-0000 by $100,000.
Amendment No. 2 would increase the agreement’s annual compensation limit from $221,000 to $350,000 through the remainder of the agreement term, which expires on September 27, 2027.
The Finance Director has reviewed this report and concluded that the recommended actions are in the best interest of the City.

The City Attorney's office has reviewed and approved as to form.

Continuations and New Title Notifications/Standing Orders:
With Ingram, these special discounts also apply to our Continuations and New Title Notifications/Standing Order Programs. Please visit our website at www.ingramcontent.com/libraries or contact your Ingram Sales Representative for details.
Cataloging and Processing:
To simplify budgeting and to speed items through our facilities, Ingram offers bundled cataloging and processing services. With our tiered service levels, your library can easily estimate its yearly C&P costs and identify ways to save. Rather than charging for each item applied to a unit, all units on a designated account will be charged the same C&P fee. This speeds up the work in our processing units and lets the library reconcile charges with little effort. It also distributes cataloging costs across all Ingram’s cataloging customers more fairly and enables us to maintain lower fees.
Freight Terms:
Shipments of 20 or more units from your primary distribution center or from your secondary distribution center qualify for Ingram-paid freight. Shipments of less than 20 units will be charged a flat $6.00 shipping fee. This flat fee amount or qualifying unit quantity is subject to change with notice. Items picked, packed, and shipped together count as an individual shipment. Shipping will be via best method, which may include order or account consolidation, shipping schedules or other account setting adjustments to maintain freight costs below 2% of invoice.
Due to the impact of rising oil prices, Ingram has instituted a $3.00 fuel surcharge. This charge is subject to change with notice. These charges will appear as a Shipping and Handling charge on your invoice.
Payment Terms:
Payment terms under this offer shall be Net 30 Days. Payment is required for invoices within these terms even when a purchase order has not been completed. Ingram does not invoice for items until they have been shipped.
While other vendors demand payment from invoice date, Ingram’s terms are calculated on statement date at the end of each month. With payment due 30 days from statement date, the customer’s payment is due an average of 45 days from invoice (30-59 days). Ingram reserves the right to assess a late charge on all past due invoices.
Effective Dates: Start Date: July 1, 2026
End Date: June 30, 2027
Account Information:
This offer is extended to members of the Southern California Library Cooperative. The terms and conditions of this offer do not apply to staff accounts.
It is the responsibility of each individual ordering agency to verify with Account Services that any new accounts are eligible and have been set up to order under this offer. Ingram cannot issue credit for accounts not following the proper procedures. Any item that is ordered prior to the start date of this offer is not eligible to receive the terms of this special offer. This applies to all backorders, standing orders, and firm orders placed prior to the enactment of this offer. Libraries wishing to establish a new account will be asked to complete an Ingram New Account Application and Terms of Sale Form. When setting up an account under the terms of the contract, the Library will be asked to provide a copy of their tax exemption certificate.

Well-Maintained Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
Proposition A (Prop A) is a half-cent sales tax approved by Los Angeles County voters in November 1980 to provide funding for public transportation and related improvements throughout Los Angeles County. A portion of Prop A revenues is returned directly to participating cities through the Local Return Program for eligible local transportation-related projects.
The City receives an annual allocation of Prop A Local Return funds that may be used for eligible transportation improvements, including public transit facilities and bus stop enhancements. Given the City's size and limited transit infrastructure, opportunities to utilize these restricted funds are relatively limited. For Fiscal Year 2026-27, the City Council appropriated $100,000 in Prop A Local Return funds for the refurbishment and improvement of bus stop site furnishings.
There are seventeen (17) bus stops located within the City, all serving the transit route along Huntington Drive, including bus stops located on the east side of San Gabriel Boulevard at its intersection with Huntington Drive that Tony Chou, Mayor

PAGE 355 of 688
are within the City's jurisdiction. Although transit service is provided by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), the City is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the associated bus stop site furnishing amenities.
As part of the City's ongoing efforts to maintain public infrastructure and improve the condition and appearance of the public right-of-way, staff conducted a field assessment of the City's bus stops. The assessment identified opportunities to replace aging passenger seating and provide new trash receptacles and related site furnishings. The proposed project will utilize Prop A Local Return funds to refurbish bus stop site furnishings at designated locations along Huntington Drive.
DISCUSSION
Staff propose utilizing the City's budgeted Prop A Local Return funds to procure nineteen (19) bus stop benches and trash receptacles for designated locations along Huntington Drive. Several existing benches consist of older concrete seating that provides limited passenger comfort, while other locations have limited or no seating available for transit riders. Existing trash receptacles are also aging or are not consistently provided at bus stop locations.
The proposed improvements will provide more comfortable and functional passenger seating, improve cleanliness and maintenance operations, and enhance the overall appearance of the City's transit facilities and public rightof-way. The proposed furnishings include:
• Bus Benches: Durable, weather-resistant benches with backrests and center armrests to provide improved passenger comfort and functionality.
• Trash Receptacles: Durable, weather-resistant receptacles with fixed, elevated lids and lockable side-entry doors. The side-entry design will provide City maintenance staff with convenient access for emptying and servicing the receptacles while allowing the units to remain secured. The elevated fixed lids will help shield the receptacles from the elements and reduce the amount of rain entering the receptacles.
The proposed improvement locations are identified in Attachment 4.

Staff selected bus stop furnishings from Keystone Ridge Designs based on the durability, functionality, appearance, and suitability of the proposed products for the City's public right-of-way. The selected bench and receptacle designs PAGE 356 of 688
provide a coordinated, timeless appearance and are intended for use in outdoor public spaces subject to regular use and exposure to the elements.
Keystone Ridge Designs has more than 30 years of experience manufacturing commercial-grade site furnishings. The company is based in Butler, Pennsylvania, and states that it designs and manufactures its products in the United States. Its product line includes benches and litter receptacles designed for public spaces, including municipal and streetscape applications. The company also emphasizes durable, low-maintenance furnishings intended to provide extended product life.
The selected furnishings are well suited to the City's needs because they combine passenger comfort and functionality with durable construction and features that support efficient ongoing maintenance. Procuring coordinated benches and receptacles will also establish a consistent appearance among the City's bus stops and replace a variety of aging furnishings currently in service.
The proposed improvements will enhance the condition, functionality, and appearance of the City's bus stop site furnishing amenities while improving the overall experience for transit riders. The project is consistent with the eligible uses of Prop A Local Return funds for local transit-related improvements.
Procurement
The City will utilize a cooperative purchasing agreement administered through OMNIA Partners. Cooperative purchasing agreements allow participating public agencies to procure products and services through contracts that have been competitively solicited by a public agency or cooperative purchasing organization.
The proposed purchase will be made pursuant to OMNIA Contract No. 10-08, and Keystone Ridge Designs' quoted pricing reflects the applicable contract pricing and discounts. Use of the cooperative contract provides the City with access to competitively established pricing without conducting a separate solicitation for the proposed furnishings.
The combination of the selected products' durability and suitability for municipal use, the availability of coordinated products to establish a consistent bus stop furnishing standard, and the availability of the products through an established cooperative purchasing agreement provides a practical and costeffective procurement approach.

FISCAL IMPACT & PROCUREMENT REVIEW
The City's adopted FY 2026-27 budget includes an appropriation of $100,000 in Account No. 207-48-4600-0443 for the Bus Stop Improvements project.
The City received a quote from Keystone Ridge Designs in the amount of $78,640.35 for the procurement of nineteen (19) bus stop benches and trash receptacles. The procurement will be funded entirely through Prop A Local Return funds and will have no impact on the City's General Fund.
Approximately $21,360 of the appropriation will remain available for other eligible bus stop or transit-related improvements, as determined necessary.
The proposed procurement is consistent with the City’s procurement policy, which permits the use of cooperative purchasing alliances pursuant to San Marino Municipal Code §02.06.05.B.6. and with the eligible uses of Prop A Local Return funds.
The Finance Director has reviewed this staff report for compliance with San Marino Municipal Code §02.06.05.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney's office has reviewed and approved as to form.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend that the City Council approve the procurement of bus stop furnishings from Keyston Ridge Designs in the amount of $78,640.35, using Prop A Local Return funds. If the City Council concurs with staff’s recommendation, an appropriate motion would be:
“I move to approve the procurement of bus stop furnishings from Keystone Ridge Designs in the amount of $78,640.35.”

MIDTOWN BENCH WITH BACK
Bench with back is covered by Patent No. Des. D457,742. All other Midtown pieces are Exclusive By Design™.
KEYSHIELD® METAL FINISH
The trademarked KEYSHIELD® finish protects each piece of furniture from chipping, cracking, and UVA damage while providing unparalleled corrosion resistance. Steel products are finished with a two-coat powder coating process applied to a 7-15 mil thickness. Substrate preparation includes sandblasting to a white finish to remove all surface contaminants. The raw product then receives a corrosion-inhibiting phosphate coating prior to the application of the powder coating. The first coat applied to the substrate is zinc rich epoxy powder primer used exclusively on sandblasted parts. The second coat is a colored polyester powder coating. Both coats are electrostatically applied and oven cured according to powder coating manufacturing specifications to create a smooth, satin-like finish and a lowemitting non-porous armor.
FULLY ASSEMBLED UNIT
The Midtown bench with back is manufactured in the USA as a fully assembled unit to provide ultimate stability and avoid damage during transit to the site, saving time and money.
MATERIALS
Commercial-grade materials, at least 25% recycled raw steel, 100% recyclable steel; completely welded for optimum strength and stability according to Keystone Ridge Designs, Inc.

Description of General Fund Costs
There are nineteen (19) bus stops located throughout the City, primarily along Huntington Drive and San Gabriel Boulevard within City limits. While transit service is provided by Metro, the City is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of these facilities.
The City receives an annual allocation of Proposition A funds from Metro, which are primarily restricted to transit-related improvements. Given the City’s size and limited transit infrastructure, opportunities to utilize these funds are relatively constrained.
As such, staff recommends using available Proposition A funding to refurbish bus stops citywide. Planned improvements include replacement of aging benches and installation of new trash receptacles to enhance cleanliness, improve maintenance operations, and maintain the overall appearance of the public right-of-way. Staff will also demolish the existing bus shelter located at the northwest corner of Huntington Drive and San Marino Avenue due to age, condition and public safety concerns. These upgrades will ensure that bus stop facilities remain in good condition and are consistent with the City’s standards for public spaces.
Staff recommend $100,000 in new funding for FY 2026–27 for the refurbishment of the bus stop furnishings. The project will be funded entirely through Proposition A funds, with no impact to the General Fund. This approach allows the City to effectively utilize restricted transportation funds while maintaining the quality and appearance of community infrastructure. $ 100,000

SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT WITH USI INSURANCE
SERVICES LLC FOR EMPLOYEE BENEFITS BROKERAGE
AND BENEFIT PLAN SERVICES
STRATEGIC PLAN CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS
Fiscally Responsible and Transparent City Government
Efficient, Responsive, and Effective City Services
BACKGROUND
The City provides employee benefits as an important component of its overall compensation program. These benefits include medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability insurance, and other supplemental benefits made available to eligible employees and, where applicable, their dependents.
The administration and procurement of employee benefit programs is a complex and specialized function. Since 2018, the City has utilized a Broker of Record, USI Insurance Services LLC (USI), to assist with evaluating benefit plans, negotiating with insurance carriers, analyzing renewal proposals, identifying cost-containment opportunities, assisting with regulatory compliance, and providing ongoing support to the City, other than CalPERS Medical coverage. The benefits broker serves as an intermediary between the City and insurance carriers and provides specialized expertise that is not otherwise available within the City's existing staffing structure.
As part of the City's annual benefits process, Staff works with the broker to review current benefit plans, analyze carrier renewals, evaluate available alternatives, and determine whether changes are necessary to maintain competitive benefits while managing costs.

PAGE 374 of 688
DISCUSSION
Specialized Nature of Employee Benefits Brokerage Services Employee benefits brokerage requires specialized knowledge of insurance products, health plans, carrier underwriting practices, regulatory requirements, employee benefits administration, and the public-sector employment environment. A qualified broker must understand the City's existing benefit structure and be able to evaluate competing plan designs, negotiate with carriers, identify cost-saving opportunities, and advise the City concerning the financial and operational consequences of benefit changes.
Continuity and Institutional Knowledge
The City's benefits program is an ongoing operation. Each year the broker develops knowledge regarding the City's plan structure, employee population, renewal history, carrier performance, claims and service issues, negotiated rates, plan utilization, and administrative practices. Maintaining a successful broker relationship therefore has a measurable operational value.
The City’s experience with USI has been positive. Throughout the relationship, USI has demonstrated a thorough understanding of the City’s employee benefits program and has provided consistent, responsive, and professional service. The firm’s institutional knowledge, industry expertise, and established relationships with benefit carriers have been valuable in assisting the City with annual renewals, evaluating benefit options, negotiating competitive rates, and addressing benefit-related issues.
The total cost of the contract during the five (5) year term is not to exceed $75,000, plus 2 additional 1-year extensions at the City’s option at the same annual rate. The cost is compromised of the following:
• The annual contract amount shall not exceed $15,000 per year
FISCAL IMPACT & PROCUREMENT REVIEW
The Human Resources Department budget funds for Employee Benefits Brokerage services in the Other Contract Services Account (Account #101-10- 4150-0000), and sufficient funds for these services are included each fiscal year as part of the Department’s proposed operating budget.
PAGE 375 of 688
The Finance Director has reviewed this report and determined this is in accordance with S.M.C.C. 02.06.05.B.2 as the best interests of the City are served by dispensing with competitive bidding, based on the administration and procurement of employee benefit programs is a complex and specialized function.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney's office has reviewed and approved as to form.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Council approve a contract with USI Insurance Services LLC for Employee Benefits Brokerage services for a five (5) year term in the amount not to exceed $75,000, plus 2 additional 1-year extensions at the City‘s option at the same annual rate. If the City Council concurs with staff’s recommendation, an appropriate motion would be:
“I move to authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with USI Insurance Services LLC for Employee Benefits Brokerage services for a five (5) year term in the amount not to exceed $75,000 and to exercise options subject to satisfactory performance and budget allocation.”

11. PREVAILING WAGE. CONSULTANT is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Section 1720, et seq., and 1770, et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 1600, et seq., (“Prevailing Wage Laws”), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on “public works” and “maintenance” projects. If the SERVICES are being performed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if the total compensation is $1,000 or more, CONSULTANT agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. The CITY shall provide CONSULTANT with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this AGREEMENT. CONSULTANT shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the SERVICES available to interested parties upon request, and shall post copies at the Consultant’s principal place of business and at the project site. CONSULTANT shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its elected officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws.
12. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. The CITY may terminate this AGREEMENT upon giving a thirty (30) day advance written notice of such termination to CONSULTANT. In that event, the City Manager, or his designee, based upon work accomplished by CONSULTANT prior to notice of such termination, shall determine the amount of fees to be paid to CONSULTANT for such services based upon accepted accounting practices. CONSULTANT may terminate this AGREEMENT for cause in the event CITY fails to cure a default under this AGREEMENT within thirty (30) days after CONSULTANT has given CITY notice of such default. Upon termination of this AGREEMENT, CONSULTANT shall cease all work under this AGREEMENT and deliver to CITY all materials, reports, documents, notes or other written materials compiled through the last working day this AGREEMENT is in effect.
13. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. CONSULTANT shall act as an independent contractor in the performance of the services provided for in this AGREEMENT and shall furnish such services in CONSULTANT’s own manner and method and in no respect shall CONSULTANT be considered an agent or employee of the CITY.

Revised-7.2025
9. PUBLICATION OF DOCUMENTS. Except as necessary for performance of service under this AGREEMENT, no copies, sketches, or graphs of materials, including graphic art work, prepared pursuant to this AGREEMENT, will be released by CONSULTANT to any other person or City without CITY’s prior written approval. All press releases, including graphic display information to be published in newspapers or magazines, will be approved and distributed solely by CITY, unless otherwise provided by written agreement between the parties.
10. NONASSIGNMENT. This AGREEMENT is not assignable either in whole or in part by CONSULTANT without the written consent of CITY which shall not unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Consultant may assign its rights and obligations under the Agreement to an entity acquiring, directly or indirectly, Control of Consultant, an entity into which Consultant is merged, or an entity acquiring all or substantially all of Consultant’s assets. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Control” means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to solely direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of an entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities (or other ownership interest), by contract or otherwise. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void and without effect.
11. TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. CONSULTANT will provide CITY with a valid Taxpayer Identification Number.
12. PERMITS AND LICENSES. CONSULTANT, at its sole expense, will obtain and maintain during the term of this AGREEMENT, all necessary permits, licenses, and certificates that may be required in connection with the performance of services under this AGREEMENT.
13. INDEMNIFICATION.
A. CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend with legal counsel approved by CITY—or, at the CITY’s option, reimburse the CITY Indemnitees their costs of defense—and hold harmless CITY, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, cost (including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with CONSULTANT’s negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct in the performance of work hereunder or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this AGREEMENT. CONSULTANT’s obligations under this section shall not apply to the extent = claim, charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost, expense, judgment, civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to by an Indemnitee. However, without affecting the rights of CITY under any provision of this AGREEMENT, CONSULTANT shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless CITY for liability attributable to the sole active negligence of CITY, provided such active negligence is determined by AGREEMENT between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In instances where CITY is shown to have been actively PAGE 382 of 688
-7-
Revised-7.2025
negligent and where CITY’s active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the obligation of CONSULTANT will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of CITY.
B. Should conflict of interest principles preclude a single attorney from representing both CITY and CONSULTANT, or should CITY otherwise find CONSULTANT’s attorney unacceptable, then CONSULTANT shall reimburse the CITY its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation. The CONSULTANT shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against the CITY (and its officers, officials, employees, and volunteers) with respect to claims determined by a trier of fact to have been the result of the CONSULTANT’s negligent, reckless, or wrongful performance.
C. Payment by CITY is not a condition precedent to enforcement of this indemnity. In the event of any dispute between CONSULTANT and CITY, as to whether liability arises from the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of the CITY or its officers, employees, or agents, CONSULTANT will be obligated to pay for CITY’s defense until such time as a final judgment has been entered adjudicating the CITY as solely negligent or to have acted with willful misconduct. CONSULTANT will not be entitled in the absence of such a determination to any reimbursement of defense costs including but not limited to attorney’s fees, expert fees, and costs of litigation.
D. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this AGREEMENT.
20. INSURANCE. Without limiting CONSULTANT’S indemnification of CITY, and prior to commencement of work and/or services under this AGREEMENT, CONSULTANT shall obtain, provide, and maintain at its own expense during the term of this AGREEMENT, policies of insurance of the type and amounts described below and in a form satisfactory to CITY.
A. General liability insurance. CONSULTANT shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended. Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted.
B. Professional liability (errors & omissions) insurance. CONSULTANT shall maintain professional liability insurance that covers the Services to be PAGE 383 of 688
-8-
Revised-7.2025
performed in connection with this AGREEMENT, in the minimum amount of $2,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate. Any policy inception date, continuity date, or retroactive date must be before the effective date of this AGREEMENT and CONSULTANT agrees to maintain continuous coverage through a period no less than three years after completion of the services required by this AGREEMENT.
C. Workers’ compensation insurance. CONSULTANT shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance (statutory limits) and Employer’s Liability insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000).
D. CONSULTANT shall submit to CITY, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of CITY, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers.
E. Should CONSULTANT obtain and maintain an excess liability policy, such policy shall be excess over commercial general liability, automobile liability, and employer’s liability policies. Such policy or policies shall include wording that the excess liability policy follows the terms and conditions of the underlying policies.
F. Proof of insurance. CONSULTANT shall provide certificates of insurance as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by CITY prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with CITY for the contract period and any additional length of time required thereafter. CITY reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.
G. Duration of coverage. CITY shall procure and maintain for the contract period, and any additional length of time required thereafter, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, or financial loss which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Work hereunder by CONSULTANT, their agents, representatives, employees, or subconsultants.
H. Primary/noncontributing. With the exception of Professional liability (errors and omissions) insurance, coverage provided by CONSULTANT shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by CITY shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of CITY before the CITY’S own insurance or self- insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
PAGE 384 of 688
-9-
Revised-7.2025
I. CITY’S rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this AGREEMENT does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, CONSULTANT shall have the option to procure, at CONSULTANT’s sole cost, compliant replacement insurance reasonably acceptable to CITY. If CONSULTANT does not procure compliant replacement insurance within the time reasonably required by CITY under the circumstances, CITY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance in its reasonable discretion it deems necessary, and any premium paid by CITY will be promptly reimbursed by CONSULTANT or CITY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from CONSULTANT payments. In the alternative, CITY may cancel this AGREEMENT.
J. Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the CITY.
K. Waiver of subrogation. With the exception of Professional liability (errors and omissions) insurance, all insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this AGREEMENT shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees, and volunteers or shall specifically allow CONSULTANT’S or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. With the exception of Professional liability (errors and omissions) insurance, CONSULTANT hereby waives its own right of recovery against CITY and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.
L. Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). CONSULTANT acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the CITY to inform CONSULTANT of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the CITY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
M. Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the CONSULTANT maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the CITY requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the PAGE 385 of 688
-10-
Revised-7.2025
CONSULTANT. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the CITY.
N. Notice of cancellation. CONSULTANT agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide the CITY with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage. If any of the CONSULTANT’S insurers are unwilling to provide such notice, then CONSULTANT shall have the responsibility of notifying the CITY immediately in the event of CONSULTANT’S failure to renew any of the required insurance coverages, or insurer’s cancellation or non-renewal.
O. Additional insured status. General liability, automobile liability, and umbrella/excess liability insurance policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that CITY and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies.
P. Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to CITY and approved of in writing.
Q. Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that CONSULTANT’S insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
R. Pass through clause. CONSULTANT agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party who is brought onto or involved in the project/service by CONSULTANT (hereinafter collectively “Subcontractor”), provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of CONSULTANT under this AGREEMENT.
CONSULTANT agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. However, in the event CONSULTANT’S Subcontractor cannot comply with this requirement, which proof must be submitted to the CITY, CONSULTANT may still be able to utilize the Subcontractor provided CONSULTANT shall be required to ensure that its Subcontractor provide and maintain insurance coverage and endorsements sufficient to the specific risk of exposure involved with Subcontractor’s scope of work and services, with limits less than required of the CONSULTANT, but in all other terms consistent with the CONSULTANT’S requirements under this AGREEMENT. This provision does not relieve the CONSULTANT of its contractual obligations under the AGREEMENT and/or limit its liability to the amount of insurance coverage PAGE 386 of 688
-11-
Revised-7.2025
provided by its subcontractors. This provision is intended solely to provide CONSULTANT with the ability to utilize a Subcontractor who may be otherwise qualified to perform the work or services but may not carry the same insurance limits as required of the CONSULTANT under this AGREEMENT given the limited scope of work or services provided by the subcontractor. CONSULTANT agrees that upon request, all agreements with Subcontractors, and others engaged in the project and/or services, will be submitted to CITY for review.
S. CITY’S right to revise specifications. The CITY reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the CONSULTANT ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the CONSULTANT, the CITY and CONSULTANT may renegotiate CONSULTANT’S compensation.
T. Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by CITY.
U. Timely notice of claims. CONSULTANT shall give CITY prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from CONSULTANT’S performance under this AGREEMENT, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.
V. Additional insurance. CONSULTANT shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.
21. NON-DISCRIMINATION. CONSULTANT shall not discriminate in its recruiting, hiring, promotion, demotion or termination practices on the basis of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sex, age, or sexual orientation in the performance of this AGREEMENT and shall comply with the provisions of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act as set forth in Part 2.8 of Division 3, Title 2 of the California Government Code; the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, as set forth in Public Law 88-352, and all amendments thereto; Executive Order 11246; and all administrative rules and regulations issued pursuant to such acts and order.
22. UNAUTHORIZED ALIENS. CONSULTANT hereby promises and agrees to comply with all of the provisions of the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act (8 USCA 1101, et seq.), as amended; and, in connection therewith, shall not employ unauthorized aliens as defined therein. Should CONSULTANT so employ such unauthorized aliens for the performance of work and/or services covered by this AGREEMENT, and should the Federal Government impose sanctions against the CITY for such use of unauthorized aliens, CONSULTANT hereby agrees to, and shall, reimburse CITY for the cost of all PAGE 387 of 688
-12-
Revised-7.2025
such sanctions imposed, together with any and all costs, including attorney’s fees, incurred by the CITY in connection therewith.
14. CONFLICT OF INTEREST. CONSULTANT will comply with all conflict of interest laws and regulations including, without limitation, CITY’s conflict of interest regulations.
15. WAIVER. Waiver by any party hereto of any term, condition, or covenant of this AGREEMENT shall not constitute the waiver of any other term, condition or covenant hereof.
16. ATTORNEY’S FEES. If litigation is reasonably required to enforce or interpret the provisions of this AGREEMENT, the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorney’s fees, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.
17. BINDING EFFECT. This AGREEMENT shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
18. PROVISIONS, CUMULATIVE. The provisions of this AGREEMENT are cumulative and in addition to and not in limitation of any rights or remedies available to CITY.
19. NO PRESUMPTION RE: DRAFTER. The parties acknowledge and agree that the terms and provisions of this AGREEMENT have been negotiated and discussed between the parties and their attorneys, and this AGREEMENT reflects their mutual AGREEMENT regarding the same. Because of the nature of such negotiations and discussions it would be inappropriate to deem any party to be the drafter of this AGREEMENT; and, therefore, no presumption for or against validity or as to any interpretation hereof, based upon the identity of the drafter, shall be applicable in interpreting or enforcing this AGREEMENT.
20. ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL. Each party to this AGREEMENT warrants to each other party as follows:
A. That each party either had the assistance of counsel or had counsel available to it, in the negotiation for, and execution of, this AGREEMENT, and all related documents; and,
B. That each party has lawfully authorized the execution of this AGREEMENT.
21. MODIFICATION. This AGREEMENT shall not be modified except by written agreement of the parties.
22. GOVERNING LAW. This AGREEMENT shall be interpreted and construed according to the laws of the State of California.
23. NOTICE. Whenever it shall be necessary for either party to serve notice on the other regarding this AGREEMENT, such notice may be furnished in writing by either party to the other and shall be served by personal service as required in judicial proceedings PAGE 388 of 688

DATE: September 9, 2026
SUBJECT: APPROVAL TO PURCHASE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT FROM MUNICIPAL EMERGENCY SERVICES IN
THE AMOUNT OF $54,620 THROUGH A COOPERATIVE
PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH SOURCEWELL
STRATEGIC PLAN CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS
Fiscally Responsible and Transparent City Government
Safe Community
BACKGROUND
On May 29, 2026 the City Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Operating and Capital Budget. As part of the approved Capital Budget, the City Council approved $55,000 for the purchase of personal protective equipment (PPE). This request included 10 sets of structural firefighting protective ensembles (turnout gear) and 38 particulate blocking firefighting hoods to replace aging and non-compliant equipment currently in service.
DISCUSSION
Structural firefighting PPE is essential equipment for firefighter response that protects firefighters from extreme heat, flames, smoke, chemicals, and physical hazards encountered during fire suppression operations. Properly fitted and compliant PPE provides critical protection that allows firefighters to safely perform their duties in hazardous environments. Maintaining PPE in conditions that meet applicable National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards helps ensure firefighters are properly equipped and reduces safety risks when responding to emergencies.

The structural firefighting turnout gear requested consists of 10 turnout coats and 10 pairs of turnout pants. The department maintains two sets of turnout gear per firefighter, a frontline and a backup set, for a total of 38 sets. 10 of these sets have now exceeded their recommended service life and have been tagged as unfit for use by the Department’s third-party repair and maintenance provider.
The NFPA establishes personal protective equipment standards related to the purchase, maintenance and replacement of firefighter turnout gear. NFPA recommends that structural firefighting ensembles and ensemble elements be retired no more than 10 years from the date the ensembles or ensemble elements were manufactured.
As part of the NFPA’s 2025 update, standards for particulate blocking firefighting hoods were strengthened. The updated standard increases the particulate blocking requirements to 90 percent filtration, which the Department’s current hoods do not meet. To comply with the updated standard, the Department will replace all 38 particulate blocking hoods resulting in staff equipped with the most modern safety elements with which to conduct their responsibilities.
FISCAL IMPACT & PROCUREMENT REVIEW
The San Marino City Council approved $55,000 as part of the Fiscal Year 2026- 2027 Operating and Capital Budget for the purchase of firefighter safety equipment. The total cost of 10 turnout ensembles consisting of 10 coats, 10 pants, and 10 hoods, along with an additional 28 particulate blocking hoods, is $54,620.07.
Municipal Emergency Services (MES) is the sole licensed distributor of the Honeywell turnout gear currently used by the Fire Department. Purchasing Honeywell turnout gear will maintain consistency across the Department’s remaining compliant inventory and ensure compatibility with existing equipment. Additionally, through a cooperative purchasing agreement with MES through Sourcewell, the department receives a 5 percent discount off MSRP.
Pursuant to San Marino Municipal Code (SMMC) §02.06.05(B)(6), purchases of supplies, materials, equipment, and sales of personal property made under a cooperative purchasing program utilizing purchasing agreements or bids received by the County, State or other public agency are exempt from the requirements of SMMC §02.06.05(B).

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve the purchase of personal protective equipment from Municipal Emergency Services in the amount of $54,620.07 through a cooperative purchasing agreement with Sourcewell. If the City Council agrees with staff’s recommendation, an appropriate motion would be:
“I move to approve the purchase of personal protective equipment from Municipal Emergency Services in the amount of $54,620.07 through a cooperative purchasing agreement with Sourcewell.”

ADJUSTMENT FOR DEBTBOOK CONTRACT
STRATEGIC PLAN CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS
Efficient, Responsive, and Effective City Services
Fiscally Responsible and Transparent City Government
BACKGROUND
The Finance Department has been evaluating opportunities to use technology to improve efficiency and identified Lease and Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements (SBITA) accounting as an area where technology could provide significant operational benefits.
The City has historically maintained the information needed to comply with applicable Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) requirements through spreadsheets and other manual processes. As the number and complexity of agreements have increased, maintaining multiple schedules and supporting documentation has become increasingly time-consuming and creates additional opportunities for manual errors.
DebtBook is a cloud-based financial management platform designed for public-sector finance teams and is used by more than 2,100 public finance organizations. Utilizing such a software rather than manually coded spreadsheets will also assist the City in the transfer of knowledge between staff in a more accurate and expedient manner given the Finance Department and City’s overall lean staffing model.

On July 8th, 2026, the City entered into a two-year contract with Fifth Asset, Inc.(dba Debtbook) to provide Lease & SBITA Management software. The total contract amount is $20,500 with an annual payment of $10,500.
DISCUSSION
GASB establishes accounting and financial reporting standards that impact how the City reports its financial information. DebtBook provides software designed to assist the City with the ongoing accounting and reporting requirements associated with GASB Statement No. 87, Leases, and GASB Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements.
GASB Statement No. 87 establishes requirements for accounting and financial reporting for leases and requires governments to recognize qualifying leaserelated assets and liabilities. GASB Statement No. 96 establishes requirements for accounting and financial reporting for qualifying SBITAs, including recognition of a subscription asset and subscription liability, as well as amortization schedules, and disclosure requirements.
The City initially implemented the requirements associated with GASB 87 and GASB 96 in 2020 and 2023, respectively.
Since implementation, the Finance Department has maintained the related information and amortization schedules through spreadsheets containing numerous worksheets and manual calculations. As the City's agreements and reporting requirements have continued to grow, the Department identified a need for a more streamlined and centralized process.
DebtBook provides the City with efficiencies including:
• Centralized management and storage of lease and SBITA information. • Automated calculation and maintenance of amortization schedules. • Tracking of key contract dates, payments, and other obligations. • Generation of information and journal-entry support needed for annual financial reporting.
• Electronic storage of supporting documentation.
• An audit trail that allows the City's auditors to review supporting information and activity within the system.
• Use of AI to analyze contract data, reducing the amount of manual data entry required by staff.
PAGE 403 of 688
• Improved organization
• Reduced reliance on multiple spreadsheets and manual calculations.
To implement the use of the software for this audit year FY 2025-26, the contract was executed in July 2026. Staff is recommending a FY 2026-27 budget adjustment in the amount of $10,500 to cover the first-year cost.
FISCAL IMPACT & PROCUREMENT REVIEW
The City procured DebtBook through the OMNIA Partners cooperative purchasing program. DebtBook is available to public-sector organizations through OMNIA Partners Contract No. 159808 for Debt and Lease Management Software and Consulting Services.
A FY 2026-27 budget adjustment of $10,500 to Account # 101-11-4150-0500 is needed to cover the first-year cost.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney's office has reviewed and approved as to form.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Council approve a FY 2026-27 budget adjustment of $10,500 to Account # 101-11-4150-0500.

BACKGROUND
With the 2016 passage of Proposition 64, and in accordance with Revenue and Taxation Code Section 34019, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) was tasked with establishing a grant administration program to disburse grant funds to local government and qualified nonprofit organizations for education, prevention, and enforcement of laws related to driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs, including cannabis.
The Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program (CTFGP) was established to provide alternative funding sources to augment, but not supplant, current activities and programs. Funding is allocated in accordance with California Code of Regulations (CCR) Sections 1890.05 through 1890.07, Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program.
The intent of the program is to educate the public regarding the dangers of impaired driving, enforce impaired driving laws on the roadway, and improve the Police Department’s effectiveness through training and development of new strategies.

DISCUSSION
The Police Department applied for and is conditionally approved for CTFGP funding in the amount of $140,078.23. The funds will be used to perform DUI/Drug Enforcement operations within the City of San Marino (City), utilizing DUI Saturation Patrols and a DUI Checkpoint. To accomplish this, the Department has also been authorized by the CHP to purchase equipment specific to DUI enforcement including:
* A DUI patrol vehicle (includes outfitting and decals) * Educational materials and supplies
* Educational presentations and outreach (Neighborhood Watch and Coffee with a Cop)
The DUI Saturation Patrols and DUI Checkpoint will be concentrated in areas of the City with a high incidence of impaired driving traffic accidents. The Department will be able to enhance patrol presence on Huntington Drive and in all heavily trafficked areas of the City.
The City has received the official Grant Agreement. To execute the Grant Agreement, a resolution from the City Council authorizing the Police Department to receive this grant funding is required.
Grantees are required to report quarterly on achieved project goals and activities.
Payments are issued on a reimbursement-basis only, and payment advances are not allowed. Grantees shall submit reimbursement requests on a quarterly basis for approved achievements and expenses relating to the project goals and activities that occurred during the reporting period.
The grant performance period started July 1, 2026, and ends June 30, 2027.
This Staff Report is for the acceptance of the CTFGP funds and approval of the FY 2026-27 budget adjustments needed. The request to purchase equipment authorized under the program will be presented for Council’s approval at a future date as required by the City’s purchasing rules. Below is the approved budget as listed in the Grant Agreement.

Staff also recommends the approval of Resolution No. R-26-29. If the City Council concurs with staff’s recommendation, an appropriate motion would be:

Schedule A
San Marino Police Department
The Grantor determined awards and adjustments based on the Project’s merit, operational scale, compliance with the Request for Application (RFA), and program regulations. Certain activities or budget items proposed in Schedule A may have been deemed ineligible for funding. The final, binding list of authorized activities and expenses is set forth in Schedule B - Detailed Budget Estimate.
Project Description
The San Marino Police Department would like to utilize the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program to conduct DUI Saturation Patrols in various part of the city as well as host a DUI Checkpoint. The project will aid in increasing awareness surrounding the dangers of impaired and drunk driving. Enforcement activities like the DUI Saturation Patrols and DUI Checkpoints will enhance and raise community awareness about the dangers of driving while impaired. Enforcement activities such as these will also increase police presence in hightraffic areas known for DUI and DUID drivers. The San Marino Police Department also aims to educate the local high school and members of the community on the dangers of impaired driving, providing educational information and resources pertaining to drunk driving and driving while under the influence of cannabis.
Problem Statement
The DUI Saturation Patrols and DUI Checkpoint will be concentrated in areas of the city with high instances of impaired driving and impaired driving traffic related accidents. Huntington Drive is a major thoroughfare for the City of San Marino, and Huntington Drive is also a major access point for neighboring cities, including Alhambra, San Gabriel, South Pasadena, Pasadena, and unincorporated parts of Los Angeles County. The Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program will assist the San Marino Police Department in enhancing their patrol presence in such heavily trafficked areas. The number of DUI and DUID related traffic offenses are more frequent during the holidays and often caused by repeat offenders. Educational presentations to the high school and members of the community (Coffee with a Cop) will raise awareness surrounding the dangers of driving while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. The Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program will enable the San Marino Police Department to enhance patrol enforcement operations and increase patrol visibility throughout the city in an effort to reduce DUI and DUID traffic related offenses.
Performance Measures/Scope of Work (Proposed Solution)
• 1 DUI Checkpoint (Q2=1): Aim to reduce DUI/DUID traffic related offenses by 15%, reducing the number of impaired drivers in and around the community
• 4 DUI Saturation Patrols (Q1=1, Q2=1, Q3=1, Q4=1): The goal of the DUI Saturation Patrols is to reduce the number of DUI/DUID traffic related offenses by 10%, improving roadway safety in and around the community
• 2 Educational Presentations (Q2=1, Q4=1): The goal of hosting an educational presentation at the San Marino High School and during Coffee with a Cop will increase awareness of the dangers of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. Students and community members can interact with law enforcement personnel and be provided an educational flyer • 1 Chevrolet Tahoe for moving the San Marino Police Department's command post and also be utilized as a DUI/DUID traffic enforcement vehicle during DUI Saturation Patrols and DUI Checkpoints • 1 Drawer System for UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System): The goal of installing a drawer system for a UAS will assist patrol personnel in the safe apprehension of DUI/DUID drivers who flee the scene of a DUI Checkpoint. The San Marino Police Department has a drone; however, there is not system to launch the drone in a timely manner in situations such as a DUI Checkpoint or for DUI Saturation Patrols. This piece of equipment will enhance officer safety and lead to a higher success rate of apprehending individuals who flee a DUI Checkpoint or DUI related traffic stop • 1 Starlink Kit: The implementation of a Starlink Internet Kit will allow officers and dispatchers access to the internet in areas when service frequently drops. The San Marino Police Department's Command Post is not equipped with the latest internet technology and often times has connectivity issues. The implementation of Starlink will allow patrol operations and DUI Checkpoints to operate efficiently and effectively, and allow for a police dispatcher to remain on site for the DUI Checkpoint and DUI Saturation Patrols.

Schedule A
Project Performance Evaluation
Key performance indicators (KPI) to document project effectiveness and successful project activities will include quarterly reports as well as data collection (crime and traffic crash statistics) from the city's Records Manager to reflect progress throughout the fiscal year.
Program Sustainability
The goal of the San Marino Police Department is to effectively staff the DUI Checkpoint and DUI Saturation Patrols. The department also plans on utilizing social media outlets to further educate and reach the public.
The police department currently has one recruit in the police academy and two more scheduled to attend in April of 2026, increasing patrol staffing by three. Staff members possess the required knowledge, skills, and training to execute the project expectations.
Administrative Support
There is an adequate number of staff available to complete the project goals within the performance period.
Staff members and patrol personnel possess the required knowledge, skills, and training to execute the project expectations. The administrative support includes that of the Chief of Police, the Patrol Division Commander, Traffic Sergeant, and Motor Officers. This is the second time the San Marino Police Department has applied for the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program. There is an adequate number of patrol personnel to staff the DUI Saturation Patrols as well as the DUI Checkpoint which can be successfully conducted and yield a positive outcome. After working with the CTFGP for almost one year, staff will be better prepared and equipped to report status updates on a quarterly basis with efficiency and in a timely manner.

apparatus, emergency medical equipment, and fire personnel who provide emergency response services to the residents and businesses of the City. The facility is critical to the City's ability to deliver uninterrupted fire suppression and emergency medical response capabilities to the community.
City staff recently discovered that a long-term water leak within the Fire Station has caused significant and extensive water damage to the structure.
The damage includes deterioration of walls, flooring, electrical systems, and other building components critical to the continued safe operation of the fire station.
Upon discovery of the water damage, the City Manager, acting pursuant to the authority delegated under San Marino Municipal Code Section
04.03.02(A), proclaimed a public emergency in connection with the water damage at the Fire Station and authorized immediate actions to assess, remediate, and repair the damage. Section 02.06.05(A)(8) of the San Marino Municipal Code delegates to the City Manager the power to proclaim a public emergency, as defined in Public Contract Code Section 1102, to immediately take all actions directly required by the emergency, to procure needed goods, services, and public projects, and to contract for public projects without informal or formal bidding.
At the April 24, 2026, City Council meeting, the City Council unanimously approved Resolution No. R-26-08, ratifying the City Manager’s proclamation of emergency and authorizing emergency procurement of construction and other related services to repair/remediate Fire Station 91. That resolution and governing law require that a report on progress be provided at each Council meeting and a decision be made as to whether to extend the emergency proclamation to facilitate continued emergency procurement.

As of the writing of this report, permits have been issued for the foundation, structural, and framing work to commence in the fire station. That work is expected to begin the week of August 31st. Following the completion of the foundation and framing work, it is anticipated that subfloor and finished flooring should begin installation within the month of September. Once flooring is completed or simultaneously, drywall repairs will commence with cabinetry following. The contractor anticipates finish tilework to begin in October with an anticipated project completion the first week of November.
It is unknown at this time whether additional emergency procurements will be required for the restoration work at Fire Station 91, but staff anticipates having a better understanding in that regard as repair activity progresses and PAGE 429 of 688
undertaking the standard procurement procedures will unnecessarily delay repair and remediation of Fire Station 91. Accordingly, it is recommended that the Council determine that the emergency action approved in Resolution No.
R-26-08 be continued to facilitate expeditious repair and restoration of the Fire Station.
Ongoing Review Requirements
Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22050(c) and San Marino Municipal Code Section 02.06.05(A)(8), the City Council must review the emergency action at each regularly scheduled meeting and determine, by a four-fifths (4/5) vote, whether there is a need to continue the emergency action and whether that work should continue without the benefit of informal or formal bidding. The City Council shall terminate the emergency action at the earliest possible date that conditions warrant so that the remainder of the emergency action may be completed by giving notice for bids to let contracts. Staff will report to the City Council on the status of the emergency project at its next regularly scheduled meeting and at each regular meeting thereafter, as required by the Public Contract Code, until the repairs are completed.
Environmental Analysis
The emergency repairs to Fire Station 91 are categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) and Section 15269 (Emergency Projects).
FISCAL IMPACT & PROCUREMENT REVIEW
The full cost of the emergency repair work at Fire Station 91 is not yet known and will depend upon the scope of remediation required once a full assessment of the water damage has been completed. The City Manager will negotiate contracts with qualified contractors and vendors necessary to assess, remediate, and repair the damage. Even though there is no formal bid process required in emergency projects, the City Manager will make reasonable efforts to obtain competitive pricing where feasible and consistent with the urgency of the emergency. All contracts entered into pursuant to the Resolution shall be subject to applicable prevailing wage requirements. Staff will provide the City Council with regular updates on expenditures incurred pursuant to the Resolution at each regularly scheduled meeting.
While the total costs of the emergency repair work are unknown at this time, PAGE 430 of 688
the City anticipates a significant portion to be covered by the City’s property insurance policies with the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority subject to the City’s coverage limits. At a minimum, the City expects to be responsible for the insurance policy’s deductible of $15,000. Expenses not covered by insurance will be paid for out of the City’s General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance (Reserves).
As of the date of this report, in addition to a few miscellaneous expenses, two invoices for work completed are the responsibility of the City and require budget appropriation to pay.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council receive the report of repair/remediation actions undertaken to date and extend the emergency by a 4/5 vote to facilitate expeditious restoration of Fire Station 91 and approve the necessary budget adjustments. If the City Council concurs with staff’s recommendation, an appropriate motion would be:
"I move to 1) receive and file the report of repair/remediation actions undertaken to date; 2) approve the FY 2026-27 budget adjustments needed; and 3) to extend the emergency action approved in Resolution No. R-26-08 to facilitate the expeditious restoration of Fire Station 91."

BACKGROUND
On November 8, 2012, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) adopted the 2012 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit, Order No. R4- 2012-0175. This was re-adopted in the 2021 Regional Phase I MS4 Permit Order No. R4-2021-0105. The requirements of the 2012 MS4 Permit were subsequently superseded by the 2021 Regional Phase I MS4 Permit became effective on September 11, 2021, superseding the 2012 MS4 Permit, Order No. R4-2021-0105, which became effective September 11, 2021.
The 2021 MS4 Permit established requirements for municipal stormwater systems operated by the County of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County Flood Control District, 85 cities within the coastal watersheds of Los Angeles County, the Ventura County Watershed Protection District, the County of Ventura, and 10 cities within Ventura County.

Within the Upper Los Angeles River Watershed Management Area (ULAR WMA), the City of San Marino is one of the local agencies responsible for complying with the MS4 Permit. The ULAR WMA also includes the City of Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County Flood Control District, and the Cities of Alhambra, Burbank, Calabasas, Glendale, Hidden Hills, La Canada Flintridge, Montebello, Monterey Park, Pasadena, Rosemead, San Fernando, San Gabriel, South El Monte, South Pasadena, and Temple City.
The MS4 Permit requires permittees to implement monitoring and watershed management activities designed to assess and improve stormwater and receiving-water quality. Because these requirements are regional in scope and affect multiple jurisdictions within the watershed, the participating agencies have elected to coordinate compliance activities through the ULAR Watershed Management Group (WMG).
The primary components of this regional effort include:
• Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP): The CIMP provides for coordinated monitoring of stormwater and receiving water quality conditions and progress toward achieving applicable waterquality objectives. Activities include program administration, sample collection, in-situ measurements, laboratory analyses, monitoring of stormwater and non-stormwater outfalls, tracking of required studies, data analysis, and reporting to the Regional Board.
• Watershed Management Program (WMP): The WMP requires
ongoing management, reporting, and implementation activities to demonstrate compliance with the MS4 Permit and track progress toward watershed water-quality goals. Activities include preparation of required reports, updates to the watershed management plan, trash monitoring and reporting, preparation of required regulatory submittals, and implementation of watershed-specific studies and strategies.
The City of San Marino has participated with the other ULAR WMA permittees in developing and implementing the CIMP and the WMP. The City Council has previously approved Memorandum of Agreements (MOAs) governing administration of these programs and allocation of associated costs among participating agencies, most recently in 2016, 2018 and 2023. The 2023 MOA expired on June 30, 2026, while the proposed successor MOA was being finalized. Staff recommend that the City Council approve the proposed MOA to ensure the City’s continued participation in the ULAR WMA regional compliance and cost-sharing program.
PAGE 440 of 688
DISCUSSION
The proposed MOA provides a continuation of the regional framework through which the ULAR WMA permittees collectively implement required CIMP and WMP activities and share the associated costs.
Under the proposed MOA, the participating agencies will cooperatively fund the estimated costs of implementing the CIMP and WMP. The City of Los Angeles, as the lead agency for the ULAR WMG, will complete or manage completion of the work on behalf of the participating permittees.
Major activities anticipated under the agreement include:
• Preparation of the semi-annual Progress Monitoring Reports and Annual Watershed Report to the Regional Board;
• Preparation and implementation of an Adaptive Management Plan to update the WMP;
• Implementation of the Trash Reporting and Monitoring Plan; • Preparation of the Report of Waste Discharge;
• Completion of the load reduction strategy necessary to address applicable bacteria Total Maximum Daily Load requirements; and • Implementation of potential special studies and other watershed activities required under the MS4 Permit.
The San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) has administered the ULAR WMG since 2018 and will continue to serve as the administrative entity under the proposed MOA. This includes administering the cost-sharing arrangement and invoicing the individual permittees for their respective share of the program costs.
The proposed MOA would be retroactively effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029, with an option for two additional one-year extensions through June 30, 2031.
Participation in the regional program provides the City with access to the technical, monitoring, regulatory, and administrative resources necessary to satisfy its MS4 Permit obligations. The City does not have sufficient staff or specialized technical resources to independently perform all the required watershed monitoring, laboratory, reporting, and regulatory compliance activities. Continued participation in the regional program therefore provides the most practical and cost-effective means of meeting the City's obligations.
PAGE 441 of 688
FISCAL IMPACT & PROCUREMENT REVIEW
The cost-sharing methodology allocates program costs based on each permittee’s proportionate land area within the ULAR Watershed. Under the proposed MOA, the City’s share is approximately 0.78 percent of the total program costs.
The City’s estimated cost over the five-year period is $63,359, as follows:
FY 26-27 FY 27-28 FY 28-29 FY 29-30 FY 30-31 TOTAL
$12,214 $12,013 $14,654 $12,140 $12,338 $63,359
The SGVCOG will invoice the City annually for its applicable share of the program costs. The City’s share is budgeted for in the Public Works Operating budget, Account #101-44-4460-5170. Sufficient funds are available in the FY 2026-27 budget to fund the City’s share for the first year of the agreement.
Funding for subsequent years will be included in the City’s annual operating budgets, subject to City Council approval.
Because the proposed MOA established the City’s participation in a cooperative regional compliance program rather than the procurement of a standalone service, no separate City procurement process is required.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney's office has reviewed and approved as to form.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend that the City Council enter into a Memorandum of Agreement regarding the administration and cost sharing for implementing the Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP) and Watershed Management Program (WMP) for the Upper Los Angeles River Watershed Management Area for FY 2027-2031. If the City Council concurs with staff’s recommendation, an appropriate motion would be:
“I move to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement between the City of Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County Flood Control District, the Cities of Alhambra, Burbank, Calabasas, Glendale, Hidden Hills, La Canada Flintridge, Montebello, Monterey Park, Pasadena, Rosemead, San Fernando, San Gabriel, San Marino, South El Monte, South Pasadena, Temple City, and the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments regarding the administration and cost sharing for implementing the Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP) and Watershed Management Program (WMP) for the Upper PAGE 442 of 688
Los Angeles River Watershed for FY 2026-27 through FY 2028-29 and authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement on behalf of the City, as well as execute two additional one-year extensions subject to the necessary budget appropriation.”

Section 8. Invoicing and Payment.
a. Invoicing. The SGVCOG will invoice all PARTIES, except the CITY, annually in amounts not exceeding the invoice amounts shown in Table 1 of Exhibit B. The annual invoices will be issued by the SGVCOG to the PARTIES in July of each calendar year for their proportional share of the estimated cost for MONITORING SERVICES and WMP-RELATED TASKS, including SGVCOG's Contract Management Fee, for the fiscal year, as shown in Exhibit B. The first invoice will be issued in July 2026 or upon the execution of this Agreement, whichever is later.
The PARTIES hereby acknowledge and ratify services performed on or after the earlier of July 1st, 2026 or the date of the last signature of the PARTIES that are performed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the MOA. Such services shall be included in the first invoice and reimbursable pursuant to this MOA. i. CITY Invoicing. The SGVCOG shall invoice the CITY annually in amounts not exceeding the invoice amounts shown in Table 3 and Table 4 of Exhibit B (“Annual Invoice”). The Annual Invoice will be issued by the SGVCOG to the CITY in July of each calendar year for its proportional share of the estimated cost of WMP-RELATED TASKS, including the SGVCOG’s Contract Management Fee, for the fiscal year, as shown in Table 3 and Table 4 of Exhibit B. The first invoice will be issued in July 2026 or upon the execution of this Agreement, whichever is later.

2026 – 2031 Upper LA River Watershed MOA
5 that are performed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the MOA.
Such services shall be included in the first invoice and reimbursable pursuant to this MOA. The CITY shall not be subject to Sections 8(c) or 8(d). ii. CITY Reimbursement. The CITY and SGVCOG shall complete a reconciliation process consistent with the one outlined in Section 8(h) on an annual basis. Upon completion of the reconciliation, CITY shall invoice SGVCOG for reimbursement due to the CITY for that fiscal year. SGVCOG shall pay the CITY within sixty (60) days of receipt of the invoice from the CITY. If the CITY has not remitted payment to SGVCOG for its Annual Invoice by the completion of the annual reconciliation, the SGVCOG shall deduct the CITY’s share for MONITORING SERVICES and the amount of the Annual Invoice from the CITY’s reimbursement.
b. Annual Payment. Each PARTY, excluding the CITY, shall pay the SGVCOG for their invoice within sixty (60) days of receipt of the invoice from the SGVCOG. c. Late Payment Penalty. Any payment that is not received within sixty (60) days following receipt of the invoice from SGVCOG shall be subject to a late payment of 10%. Interest on any late payments shall accrue at the rate of 1% per month for each month a payment is past due.
d. Delinquent Payments. A payment not made within three hundred and sixty-five (365) days after receipt of the invoice from the SGVCOG shall result in the SGVCOG notifying the Regional Board and the PARTIES that the delinquent PARTY is no longer a participating member of the CIMP or WMP. The PARTY shall be deemed to have withdrawn from this MOA and the remaining PARTIES' cost share allocation shall be adjusted in accordance with the cost allocation formula in Table 1 of Exhibit B. Withdrawal shall not relieve a PARTY’s obligation to pay its proportionate share of costs that were due at the time of the deemed withdrawal.
e. Contingency. Each PARTY’s annual invoice will include a contingency of fifteen percent (15%) for MONITORING SERVICES and fifteen percent (15%) for WMPRELATED TASKS, as shown in Exhibit B. Contingency funds will be held by SGVCOG until such time as they are needed. Contingency funds that are used will be applied to each PARTY based on its proportional share. No PARTY will be obligated to pay for additional expenditures which exceed its contingency amounts without an amendment to this MOA.
i. Monitoring Services Contingency. The CITY shall have access to the MONITORING SERVICES Contingency, for paying for or otherwise implementing the MONITORING SERVICES defined in Exhibit A of this MOA. The CITY shall notify the PARTIES before use of the MONITORING SERVICES Contingency is appropriate or required as soon as practicable PAGE 448 of 688
2026 – 2031 Upper LA River Watershed MOA
6 but any failure to notify any PARTY or the PARTIES shall not alter, eliminate, or affect the CITY’s right to payment. The CITY will indicate the amount of MONITORING SERVICES Contingency used in its applicable invoice(s) to SGVCOG for implementation of the MONITORING SERVICES. Should the CITY determine in its reasonable discretion that the MONITORING SERVICES Contingency not be necessary for
MONITORING SERVICES, the PARTIES may administratively shift these funds to be used for WMP-RELATED TASKS, consistent with Sections 8(f) and 9(c).
ii. WMP-Related Tasks Contingency. The PARTIES may utilize WMPRELATED TASKS Contingency to complete projects consistent with the WMP-RELATED TASKS defined in Exhibit A. To utilize WMP-RELATED TASKS Contingency for a particular purpose or task, the ULAR WMG must come to a majority consensus, using the process defined in Section 9(c), as to whether use of the contingency for the purpose or task proposed is appropriate, as well as the process by which such purpose or task will be implemented. SGVCOG shall reimburse the entity responsible for implementing the approved purpose or task with WMP-RELATED TASKS Contingency. Should the WMP-RELATED TASKS Contingency not be necessary for WMP-RELATED TASKS, the PARTIES may administratively shift these funds to be used for MONITORING SERVICES, consistent with Sections 8(f) and 9(c).
iii. Other Uses of Contingency. A PARTY or the PARTIES may utilize all or a portion of the MONITORING SERVICES Contingency and WMP-RELATED TASKS Contingency to pay for any penalties or fines assessed by the Regional Board. The PARTIES shall agree upon an approach pursuant to the process in Section 9(c) to utilize these funds for this purpose. f. Shifting of Funds. The PARTIES may shift funds collected under this MOA between MONITORING SERVICES and WMP-RELATED TASKS administratively, without an amendment to this MOA, provided that the overall amount does not exceed the total not-to-exceed amount of this MOA or a PARTY’S annual proportional cost, as set forth in Table 1 of Exhibit B, and if approved by a majority consensus, using the process defined in Section 9(c). Should the CITY require a shift in funds between MONITORING SERVICES and WMP-RELATED TASKS to implement the MONITORING SERVICES and WMP-RELATED TASKS, it shall notify the SGVCOG before shifting these funds.
g. Contract Management Fee. The SGVCOG will receive a Contract Management Fee of $100,000 per year for administration of this MOA by the SGVCOG. Each PARTY will be assessed its proportionate share of the annual Contract Management Fee as shown in Table 4 of Exhibit B.
PAGE 449 of 688
2026 – 2031 Upper LA River Watershed MOA
7 h. Reconciliation of this MOA. SGVCOG and CITY will provide the PARTIES with an annual accounting of expenditures for the prior fiscal year, generally consistent with the format shown in Exhibit E. The annual accounting is intended to provide transparency regarding funds received, expenditures incurred, and any remaining balances associated with the WMG activities. At the end of the MOA, SGVCOG will provide the PARTIES with an accounting of actual expenditures, consistent with the format as shown in Exhibit E, within ninety (90) days of receipt of the necessary information from the CITY. Any unexpended funds held by SGVCOG at the termination of this MOA will be rolled over to cover expenses in any subsequent MOA. PARTIES may request in writing a refund or credit of any unexpended funds by the SGVCOG, in accordance with the distributed cost formula set forth in Table 1 of Exhibit B.
Section 9. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE:
a. Documentation. The PARTIES agree to promptly provide at no cost to the CITY all requested information and documentation required by the MS4 Permit in their possession that the CITY, in its discretion, deems to be necessary or helpful for the performance of the MONITORING SERVICES and WMP-RELATED TASKS. b. Access. During the term of this MOA on an as-needed basis, each PARTY shall allow the CITY or its contractor reasonable access and entry to land, facilities and structures owned, operated, or controlled by the PARTY, which access and entry are necessary or helpful for the CITY or its contractor to perform MONITORING SERVICES and WMP-RELATED TASKS (FACILITIES). The FACILITIES shall include but not be limited to the PARTY's storm drains, channels, catch basins, and similar, provided, however, that prior to entering any of the PARTIES’ FACILITIES, the CITY or its contractor, as applicable, shall provide seventy-two (72) hours’ advance written notice of entry to the applicable PARTY, or in the cases where seventy-two (72) hours' advance written notice is not possible, such as in cases of unforeseen wet weather, the CITY or its contractor shall provide written notice to the applicable PARTY as early as reasonably possible. Any PARTY, including LACFCD, agrees to provide the CITY or its contractor a "no-fee" Access Permit to its FACILITIES. This Access Permit does not cover any fees that may be required for Construction Permits for the installation of permanent monitoring equipment. The CITY shall secure any required necessary permits prior to entry. c. Consensus. The PARTIES agree that consensus in the ULAR WMG will be determined by a two-third supermajority (66.66%) voting of the ULAR WMG members based on each PARTY’s percentage land area of the Watershed as shown in Exhibit D. Consensus shall be reached using an email vote of ULAR WMG members. Any PARTY that does not respond to a vote within five (5) business days, shall be considered to support the majority consensus. d. Participation. Each PARTY shall designate an individual to provide representation PAGE 450 of 688
2026 – 2031 Upper LA River Watershed MOA
8 at the ULAR WMG that is authorized to provide official input on behalf of the PARTY. Each PARTY shall ensure that a representative attends the ULAR WMG meetings and, if necessary, responds to email communication. e. Additional Activities. The PARTIES agree that additional activities may arise in the course of implementing this MOA, and there may be interest in utilizing funds collected through this MOA or pursuing additional funds, to complete those projects, including but not limited to the Safe Clean Water Program, the payment of a penalty or fine from the Regional Board, or unforeseen new requirements issued by the Regional Board. The ULAR WMG, led by the ULAR WMG Lead Agency, shall discuss and determine additional activities to be completed and the implementation approach to completing those projects. The ULAR WMG will determine which activities to pursue in accordance with the consensus process defined in Section 9(c). Any other PARTY that does not desire to participate in an additional activity can submit a written request to the SGVCOG that they do not desire to be part of the activity.

FROM: Philippe Eskandar, City Manager
BY: Nia Calistro, City Clerk
DATE: September 9, 2026
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. R-26-30, UPDATING
THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE OF THE CITY OF SAN
MARINO
STRATEGIC PLAN CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS
Efficient, Responsive, and Effective City Services
Fiscally Responsible and Transparent City Government
BACKGROUND
The Political Reform Act requires that every local government agency conduct a biennial review of its Conflict of Interest Code to determine if it is accurate or whether the code should be amended. The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) is charged with enforcing the provisions of the Political Reform Act and has adopted a Model Conflict of Interest Code that can be incorporated by reference by the City. The Model Code will be amended by the FPPC from time to time to conform with any amendments to the Political Reform Act.
DISCUSSION
The City’s Conflict of Interest Code was last updated on September 27, 2024.
Since then there have been various changes in the City that require an update to the Conflict of Interest Code. Exhibit A of the Resolution makes updates to align the Conflict of Interest Code with the City’s current department titles and position titles, removes Plan Checker, and adds the position of Police Records Manager to the list of designated employees.
