CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: René Bobadilla, P.E., City Manager
BY: Lana Dich, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 9947 – AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 9933 BY

ADDING TWO NEW FEES AND AMENDING SEVEN FEES TO THE CITY

OF SANTA FE SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE FOR
FISCAL YEAR 2024-25
DATE: March 4, 2024
RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Open the Public Hearing;
2) Receive any comments from the public wishing to speak on this matter and thereafter close the Public Hearing;
3) Adopt Resolution No. 9947, which amends Resolution No. 9933, adopted on November 12, 2024 to add two new fees and amend seven existing fees from the City of Santa Fe Springs Comprehensive Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2024-25; and
4) Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City Council adopted a new Comprehensive Fee Schedule for FY24-25 in November of 2024. Three of the seven fees are expected to increase by 20%. Three of the proposed new fees represent a significant increase in the total rate; however, they are infrequently assessed and therefore are not expected to have a significant impact on the annual fee revenues.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MARCH 4, 2025
Amendment to Resolution No. 9947 adding two new fees, and amending five fees from the City of Santa Fe Springs Comprehensive Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2024-25

Page 2 of 3 ends

BACKGROUND
In November 2024, the City approved an update to the City’s Comprehensive Fee Schedule based on the report provided by Revenues & Cost Specialist LLC (“RCS”). The report addressed 284 separate fees and charges. A small number of fees were not included or addressed in the Master Fee Schedule in attachment to Resolution No. 9933.

The following table provides a list of the additional fees that should be added, amended or removed from the Master Fee Schedule.

ENVIRONMENTAL
N/A

DISCUSSION
RCS performed a review of the City’s fees and user charges with the goal of determining the full cost to deliver City services and understanding the amount of subsidy. Resolution No. 9933 was passed in November 2024 with the objective of updating all of the City’s Fees and charges.

A few of these items were not included or contemplated in the original list of fees and charges presented in November 2024. The addition and removal of the proposed items is intended to complete the list of City fees and charges for FY 24-25.

Page 3 of 3 ends

SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS
If approved, it is recommended that the new fees become effective (retroactively, if applicable) on January 1, 2024.

RESOLUTION NO. 9947

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA
FE SPRINGS AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 9933, TO AMEND
AND UPDATE THE CITY’S COMPREHENSIVE SCHEDULE FOR
FISCAL YEAR 2024-25
WHEREAS, the Santa Fe Springs Municipal Code establishes fees for the City's public facilities and essential services whereby such fees are established by Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of fees is to mitigate costs on the City's public facilities and essential services whereby fees follow the "costs reasonably borne" test established by Article XIIIB of the California Constitution; and WHEREAS, the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code sections 66000- 66025) requires that a city which increases certain fees must establish that there is a reasonable relationship between the specific amount of the fee imposed as a condition of approval and the cost of the public facility attributable to that project; and
WHEREAS, the City engaged Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC to conduct a Cost of Services Study ("COS Study") to meet the requirements of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution and the Mitigation Fee Act; and WHEREAS, based upon the COS Study, the City's Comprehensive Fee Schedule was revised by the City Council on November 12, 2024, by Resolution 9933; and
WHEREAS, a small number of fees were not included or addressed in the Master Fee Schedule and the Fire services Fee Schedule as was set forth in Exhibit A of Resolution No. 9933; and
WHEREAS, based upon the COS Study, City staff has recommended a list of additional fees that should be added, amended, or removed within the Fire Services Fee Schedule, and the Master Fee Schedule of the Comprehensive Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2024-25 as set forth in Exhibit A to this Resolution; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was duly noticed for the City Council meeting of March 4, 2025 , by publishing the notice in Whittier Daily News newspaper twice on February 14, 2025 and February 21, 2025; and
WHEREAS, the proposed update to the Comprehensive Fee Schedule is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Public Resources Code, also known as the "Common Sense Exemption." This is because CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Since there is no possibility that the proposed updated Comprehensive Fee Schedule will have a significant effect on the environment, the project is not subject to CEQA.

APPROVED:

ITEM NO.:

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS HEREBY DETERMINES, FINDS, AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The aforementioned recitals are incorporated herein by reference as set forth in full herein.

Section 2. In compliance with Article XIIIB of the California Constitution and the Mitigation Fee Act, the City Council hereby establishes fees for the services set forth in the attached Exhibit A listing of fees in the "City of Santa Fe Springs" Comprehensive Fee Schedule for Fiscal Years 2025-26, in the amounts set forth therein.

Section 3. Resolution No. 9933, and any attachments regarding the Comprehensive Fee Schedule, is hereby amended.

Section 4. Said fees shall be effective MONTH XX, 2025 and supersede all previously established fees for said services in Exhibit A of this Resolution.

Section 5. Any party may protest the imposition on a development project of a fee established by this Resolution within 90 days after the date the city imposes the fee in its approval of the project, in accordance with Section 66020 of the Mitigation Fee Act. Upon receiving such protest or appeal, the City Manager, or designated agent, shall set the matter for hearing before an impartial third-party hearing officer. The party appealing the imposition of the fee shall bear the burden of establishing that the fee is improper.

Section 6. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution and it shall be in full force and effect.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA
FE SPRINGS APPROVING AN UPDATE OF THE CITY’S

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FEE SCHEDULE AND AMENDING
AND REVISING THE CITY’S COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE
WHEREAS, the Santa Fe Springs Municipal Code establishes fees for the City’s public facilities and essential services whereby such fees are established by Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of fees is to mitigate costs on the City's public facilities and essential services whereby fees follow the “costs reasonably borne” test established by Article XIIIB of the California Constitution; and WHEREAS, the City’s Comprehensive Fee Schedule was last revised by the City Council on July 28, 2016, by Resolution 9520; and
WHEREAS, the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code sections 66000- 66025) requires that a city which increases certain fees must establish that there is a reasonable relationship between the specific amount of the fee imposed as a condition of approval and the cost of the public facility attributable to that project; and
WHEREAS, the City has engaged Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC to conduct a Cost of Services Study ("COS Study") to meet the requirements of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution and the Mitigation Fee Act; and WHEREAS, based upon the COS Study, City staff has recommended an update of the Comprehensive Fee Schedule as set forth in Exhibit A to this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, based on the COS Study, City essential services are best supported by annual adjustments whereby development services fees are adjusted each year by the Engineering News Record (ENR) to keep pace with the cost of construction, while all other fees are adjusted by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to keep pace with general inflationary levels; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was duly noticed for the City Council meeting of November 12, 2024, by publishing the notice in Whittier Daily News newspaper on October 25, 2024; and
WHEREAS, the proposed update to the Comprehensive Fee Schedule is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Public Resources Code, also known as the “Common Sense Exemption.” This is because CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Since there is no possibility that the proposed updated Comprehensive Fee Schedule will have a significant effect on the environment, the project is not subject to CEQA. 31 32

CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: René Bobadilla, P.E., City Manager
BY: Lana Dich, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF POLICY TO FORMALIZE THE CITY OF SANTA FE

SPRINGS RESERVE POLICY
DATE: March 4, 2025
RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Adopt Policy to formalize a written Reserve Policy.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact from the adoption of Reserve Policies.

BACKGROUND
Although the City has adopted Financial Goals and Policies, it does not have written and adopted Reserve Policies, which are strongly recommended as good practice by Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA).

Properly designed reserve policies send a positive signal to the community of ratepayers, bondholders, rating agencies, and regulatory agencies that the City is committed to its longterm financial health and viability. Prudent financial management and best practices dictate that the City maintain appropriate reserves for emergency use, capital projects, obligations accruing on a current basis that will be paid in the future, and those required as a result of legal or external requirements.

ANALYSIS
The City’s current reserves include:

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MARCH 4, 2025
Adoption of Policy to Formalize the City of Santa Fe Springs Reserve Policy

Page 2 of 4 ends

Operating Reserves, Renovation & Replacement, Equipment Replacement. Economic Uncertainty, Employee Liability, Risk Management, Unexpected Events, Pension Trust (UAL), OPEB Trust, Prefunded Capital Projects, and Water Enterprise Reserves.

These reserves have different minimum requirements and specific uses. These reserves should be evaluated regularly to ensure adequacy based on historical data, and potential future risks.

Reserve Categories Minimum Level of Reserve
Targeted (Unassigned) 40% of operating expenditures, including transfer Renovation & Replacement 25% of Facility Fees
Equipment Replacement 5-10% of equipment cost annually
Leaves & Related Payout 25% of carrying value of employee leaves Capital Projects (CIP) $ 3,000,000
Pension (UAL) $ 3,000,000
Economic Contingency 5-10% of revenue or operating expenditures Risk Management 1-5% of annual revenues
Unexpected Events $ 100,000
Water Enterprise Fund
Reserves
40% of budgeted operating expenditures/six months
Reserve Categories:
• Operating Reserves: The City strives to maintain an operating reserve (unassigned fund balance) of at least 40% of the operating expenditures, including transfers, in the General Fund. Given the City’s revenue base on its volatility during economic downturns, the 40% is considered the minimum level necessary to maintain the City’s credit worthiness and to adequately provide for sharp declines in operating revenues, sustain General Fund operations, and offset budget deficits whether structural in nature or not.
• Risk Management: The City shall maintain reserves to cover potential liabilities related to insurance claims, legal settlements, and unforeseen risks. These reserves ensure financial stability by mitigating the impact of litigation and liability claims, workers’ compensation costs, property and casualty losses, and unanticipated insurance premium increases.
• Unexpected Events: Reserves to address unforeseen emergencies and extraordinary events that could significantly impact operations and financial stability.

Adoption of Policy to Formalize the City of Santa Fe Springs Reserve Policy

Page 3 of 4 ends

These reserves may be used for natural disasters, public health emergencies, economic downturns, infrastructure failures, other unanticipated emergencies affecting City operations.
• Economic Contingency: The City shall maintain reserves to address economic uncertainties and to support the City’s financial stability during periods of economic downturns or unforeseen fiscal challenges. These reserves provide a buffer to help mitigate the impact of revenue fluctuations due to changes in economic conditions, state or federal funding cuts that impact City operations, and unforeseen expenses related to economic shifts or urgent needs.
• Renovation & Replacement: Reserves to fund the renovation, rehabilitation, and replacement of aging infrastructure, facilities, and capital assets. These reserves ensure that essential public assets remain safe, functional, and efficient over time.

Funds may be used for City building renovations, infrastructure repairs, utility system upgrades, and facilities modernization.
• Equipment Replacement: Reserves to ensure the timely replacement of essential equipment used for public services and operations. This reserve helps prevent service disruptions, reduces maintenance costs, and ensures that equipment remains safe, reliable, and efficient. Funds may be used for Public safety equipment, public works machinery, technology, and IT systems, and Facility equipment. • Employee Liabilities: For accrued employee liability and other employment-related liabilities. Reserves may be used for accrued sick leave, vacation time payout, severance pay, and other employment-related liabilities. • Pension Trust (UAL): This reverse will help to mitigate annual unfunded liability increases and/or increases to the Employer Contributions. • Capital Projects (CIP): The City shall maintain reserves specifically designated for Capital Improvement Projects (CIP), which include investments in long-term infrastructure, facilities, and public assets. These funds are intended to support projects that enhance the City’s capacity, improve service delivery, and maintain or upgrade existing infrastructure
• Water Enterprise Reserves: The City shall maintain reserves within the Water Enterprise Fund to ensure the ongoing sustainability and reliability of the City's water utility services. These reserves are essential for addressing both routine and unforeseen challenges related to water supply, infrastructure, and operations

DIRECTION GIVEN:

DISCUSSION
It is important to strike a balance in establishing the minimum reserve levels as they should reflect the level of risk the utility might reasonably anticipate to address unexpected challenges (or opportunities) while prudently operating and maintaining critical services.

Below are some key points in the consideration of a healthy reserve:
• Plays an important role in the City’s debt rating, which consequently affects long-term debt interest rates for future issuances.
• Covers annual deficiencies that may occur for any number of reasons, including recessions, inflationary impacts, droughts, and emergency repairs. • Absorbs capital costs related to catastrophic failure of a critical infrastructure component.

It is important to note at the establishment of reserves is not without countervailing factors:
• Funds in reserves could be used for other more immediate needs; capital infrastructure upgrades, maintenance and repairs.
• Government reserves are restricted to investments with extremely low risk, which means investment returns may not often keep up with inflation, which can be particularly challenging in times of high inflation (~8% this past year) where reserves can quickly lose buying power.
• Carrying reserves has a direct impact on rates, fees and charges. In order to maintain a 40% operating reserve. For every dollar of revenue increase, ~$.40 is set aside for reserves.

SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS
The policy should be periodically reviewed and amended by Staff and the City Manager every three years.

ATTACHMENT(S):

A. Reserve Policies

CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS RESERVE POLICY
The goal of maintaining adequate reserves is to ensure appropriate levels of working capital, to mitigate current and future risks (e.g., revenue shortfalls and unanticipated expenses), to ensure ability to provide high quality level of service to businesses and the community, and to obtain and maintain a strong credit rating.

Although it is also recognized that each agency’s situation is unique and the policy should be developed based upon its own specific circumstances.

Properly designed reserve policies send a positive signal to the community of ratepayers, bondholders, rating agencies, and regulatory agencies that the City is committed to its long-term financial health and viability. Prudent financial management and best practices dictate that the City maintain appropriate reserves for emergency use, capital projects, obligations accruing on a current basis that will be paid in the future, and those required as a result of legal or external requirements.

OBJECTIVES:

This policy serves as a guideline to assist the City Council in achieving the following goals. • Establish prudent fiscal reserve policies - To ensure strong fiscal management to provide direction for future City decisions.
• Support Financial Obligations & Bond Rating - To assist the City in meeting its shortterm and long-term financial obligations and to achieve a target bond rating in the AA category or better.
• Stabilize Finance & Absorb Economic Shocks - To provide resources that help stabilize the City’s finances and position it to absorb economic downturns or large-scale emergencies.
• Smooth rates & Promote Equity -To help smooth rate increases from year-to-year, and to promote equity over the years to residents and ratepayers. • Fund Infrastructure Replacement - To provide funding for current and future replacement of existing infrastructure as they reach the end of their useful lives.

DEFINITIONS
Reserves are defined as the amount of Cash and Investments in that fund, plus the Accounts Receivable, less the Accounts Payable and less the Amounts due to Others in the fund. This methodology indicates the relatively liquid portion of total fund capital, which constitutes a margin or buffer for meeting obligations.

CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS RESERVE POLICY
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 54, Fund Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definition, establishes fund balance classifications. The following classifications describe the purposes for which resources can be used:

Non-Spendable (Legally Restricted or Segregated)– Amounts that cannot be spent because they are either not in spendable form, or, for legal or contractual reasons, must be kept intact (deposits, inventories, long-term notes or loans, permanent fund principal).

Restricted – Constraints placed on the use of these resources are either externally imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants), grantors, contributors or other governments; or are imposed by law (through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation).

Committed – Amounts that can only be used for specific purposes because of a formal action by the government’s highest level of decision-making authority. Once committed, the limitation imposed by the City Council remains in place until a similar action is taken to remove or revise the limitations.

Assigned – Amounts that are constrained by the City’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but that do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed. Intent can be stipulated by the governing body, another body, or by an official to whom the authority has been given.

Unassigned – This is the residual amount for the agency’s General Fund and includes all amounts that cannot be properly classified in one of the other categories. These amounts are available for any purpose.

NOTE: The City’s audited financial statements report the Net Position, which includes the effects of all assets and liabilities, some of which are non-spendable, not liquid, or have not been included in the current year budget. Therefore, the definition of Reserves is different than the Net Position, and the two terms should not be used synonymously.

This policy sets categories in which reserves will be assigned, minimum target level reserves that shall be maintained, and a mechanism for which reserves will be funded and replenished.

The Finance Department will use the General Fund’s annual budgeted operating expenditures, including routine transfers out, for the purpose of calculating minimum Operating Reserve levels.

This policy only establishes the target levels and minimum level of reserves that the City should achieve. The actual amount of reserves held may be greater.

The framework of the policy was developed with the City of Santa Fe Springs’s specific circumstances in mind. The City will use best efforts to maintain minimum levels established per the policy for each reserve category.

CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS RESERVE POLICY

RESERVE CATEGORIES
Reserves Minimum Level of Reserve
Operating (Unassigned) 40% of operating expenditures, including transfer Risk Management 1-5% of annual revenues
Unexpected Events 1-5% of annual revenues
Economic Contingency 5-10% of revenue or operating expenditures Renovation & Replacement 25% of Facility Fees
Vehicle /Equipment Replacement 5-10% of equipment cost annually Pension (UAL) $ 3,000,000
Leaves & Related Payout 25% of carrying value of employee leaves Capital Projects (CIP) $ 3000,000
Water Enterprise Fund Reserves 40% of budgeted operating expenditures/six months If the balance in any reserve category falls below the minimum targeted reserve level for two consecutive years, the City Council will strive to adopt a 5-year plan that includes a strategy to build the reserves back to the minimum targeted levels over the following five years.

Operating Reserves – Sales Tax is a volatile revenues source subject that can vary according to various economic events and external factors. Sales Tax and Utility User’s Tax (UUT) constitutes the majority of the City’s revenue sources. Therefore, the City shall seek to Maintain minimum level of 40% of General Fund Operating Expenditures. Reserve level is set to provide funding to finance operations for a period of five months.

The reserves held should be intended to support operations in the event of economic uncertainties, shortfall or loss in revenue, unanticipated expenditures, and provide a short-term bridge that allows adequate time to develop a financial recovery long-term plan and/or to adjust to one-time economic shocks.

Risk Management: maintain 1-5% of annual revenues to mitigate the impact of unforeseen risk that may affect operations.

Unexpected Events – Maintain minimum reserves for emergencies of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). This is intended to provide sufficient funding to finance extremely unusual and infrequent occurrences, such as local emergencies or natural disasters.

Economic Contingency: Maintain minimum of 5-10% of revenue or operating expenditures to protect City operation from unexpected economic events or downturns that could negatively impact its financial stability. This provide a cushion again factors like economic recessions,

CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS RESERVE POLICY
inflation, market volatility, changes in consumer demand, or other unforeseen external shocks. An economic contingency reserve helps ensure that operation can continue operating even in times of financial strain or economic uncertainty.

Renovation & Replacement – Maintain minimum of 25% of facility fees annually dedicate to covering the costs of renovating upgrading, or replacing facilities as they age or require improvements.

Vehicle/Fleet/Equipment Replacement Fund: Maintain minimum reserve 5-10% of equipment cost annually to provide vehicle/fleet/equipment replacement.

Unfunded Pension (UAL) Reserves – Maintain minimum reserves for unfunded liabilities of three million dollars ($3,000,000). Reserves will be set aside to provide funding for the City’s unfunded pension liabilities, Priority should be placed on building adequate reserves to implement a plan for paying down the City’s unfunded pension obligations.

Leave Payout / Employee Liabilities—Maintain minimum reserves for employee-related liabilities of 10-20% of annual pay time off (PTO) pertaining to the payout policies; this includes vacations, sick leaves, long-term leaves, and annual payout.

Capital Expenditure (CIP) Reserves – Maintain minimum reserves for capital expenditures of seven hundred fifty thousand dollars ($750,000). Reserves will be set aside to provide funding for the City’s capital expenditures. Amounts may provide funding for acquiring new or the replacement of existing capital assets, as well as major infrastructure repairs or improvements.

Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund Reserves
A Water and Sewer Fund were created to fund the operations of each utility. The City will maintain a minimum level of operating reserves for each fund equal to 180 days of Operating Expenses (~50% of budgeted operating expenditures or six months).

The reserves held should be intended to support operations in the event of economic uncertainties, shortfall or loss in revenue, unanticipated expenditures, and provide sufficient cash flow for operations. The City will assign 50% of unrestricted fund balance at the close of each fiscal year till which time the minimal level of reserves is reached.

OPEB (115) Trust –At the direction of Council amounts may be allocated for unexpected leave payouts or bridge budgetary gaps in the short-term for the purpose of paying annual OPEB or unfunded pension liabilities payments, but should not be used as an ongoing resource.

Funding Reserves
The City recognizes that funding levels established in the policy are targets and may take multiple years to achieve. To assure the City is using best efforts to achieve these targets, and in a timely manner, the following dictates how the reserves will be funded. At the close of each fiscal year, the Finance Department will report year-end fiscal results.

CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS RESERVE POLICY
Should actual revenues exceed expenditures and encumbrances, a year-end net increase in fund balance shall be reported. This net increase will be used to build and/or replenish reserves by allocating annually at year-end to each category using the order of priority:
• Operating Reserves
• Risk Management
• Unexpected Events
• Economic Contingency
• Renovation & Replacement
• Vehicle/Equipment Replacement
• Pension Trust (UAL)
• Leave Payout / Employee Liabilities
• Capital Project (CIP)
• Water Enterprise Reserve
If in any given fiscal year, there is no reported excess of revenues over expenditures or there is a deficit, no funds will be assigned for any of the reserve categories.

Finance shall update City Council annually after close of year-end with amounts that have posted as assigned fund balances and the current level of reserves for each category.

Policy Review
This policy will be reviewed every three years by the City Manager and Finance Director; or sooner if warranted by internal or external changes. Recommended revision to the policy will be presented to the City Council for formal approval

2) Introduce for first reading, in title only, and waive further reading of Ordinance No. 1158: An Ordinance of the City of Santa Fe Springs Municipal Code related to the adoption of policy and procedures for Electronic Records and Signatures.

FISCAL IMPACT
N/A

BACKGROUND
Currently, the City of Santa Fe Springs has utilized traditional methods of maintaining and retaining records and for the signing of documents related to the normal course of conducting business for the City. The City desires to transition to a more “paperless” agency, where appropriate, by allowing for the use of electronic records and electronic or digital signatures for documents between City staff and with external parties.

Staff recommends adopting the proposed Ordinance (Attachment A) to authorize the use CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MARCH 4, 2025
Ordinance No. 1158 - Electronic Signature Policy

of electronic records and electronic or digital signatures as an alternative method to retain and sign records and documents between City staff and external parties. In conformance with State law, the parties involved in the conduct of a transaction or communication would have to consent to conducting business electronically.

ANALYSIS
The proposed Ordinance will establish local standards authorizing the use of electronic records and electronic or digital signatures in the course of conducting business with City staff and external parties, when the parties have elected to do so.

ENVIRONMENTAL
This Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub.

Res. Code § 21000 et seq.) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., § 15000 et seq.) Section 15061(b)(3) under the general rule that CEQA does not apply to activities which can be seen with certainty to have no effect on the environment. The proposed actions would not create any environmental impacts, therefore no additional action under CEQA is required.

DISCUSSION
The State of California adopted the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (“UETA”) that provides rules and regulations pertaining to the use of electronic records and electronic signatures related to the transactions undertaken in the course of conducting business, commercial, and governmental affairs.

The City of Santa Fe Springs has introduced Ordinance No. 1158, establishing the requirements which would authorize the City to utilize electronic records and electronic or digital signatures in conformance with the UETA, as well as Government Code Section

16.5 and Section 22003 of Title 2, Division 7, Chapter 10 of the California Code of Regulations, as it pertains to digital signatures and the use of acceptable technology.

SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS
Staff is recommending that the City Council approve and adopt Ordinance No. 1158 to effectuate the proposed amendments to the text of the City’s Municipal Code and determine that the Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).

§ 41.02 APPLICABILITY AND PURPOSE. In any written communication or transaction with the City where a signature is required, any party to the 3 communication may use an electronic or digital signature, provided that it complies with the requirements of this Chapter. This Chapter is intended to enable the City to use electronic or digital signatures to the fullest extent allowed by the law, and does not limit the City’s ability to use electronic records, electronic signatures, or digital signatures in any way.
§ 41.03 REQUIREMENTS. In any transaction or communication with the City for which the parties have elected to conduct the transaction or communication by electronic means, the following provisions shall apply:

(3) It is under the sole control of the signer.
(4) It is linked to data in such a manner that if the data changed, the digital signature is invalidated.

The subsection provides that a “project” does not include “[c]ontinuing administrative or maintenance activities, such as purchases for supplies, personnel-related actions, general policy and procedural making…” As adopted, this Ordinance would establish general policies and procedures for the use of electronic records and electronic or digital signatures and therefore falls within the scope of activities not considered to be a “project” under the CEQA Guidelines. No additional action under CEQA is required.

SECTION 4. Clerical Errors. The City Council authorizes the City Attorney to make any clarifying changes necessary to this Ordinance including, but not limited to, typographical errors, irregular numbering and incorrect section references.

The City Council hereby declares that it would have each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase in this Ordinance irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, or phrases may be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

SECTION 6. Effective Date. In accordance with Government Code Section 36937, this Ordinance shall take effect and be in force thirty (30) days from passage and adoption.

CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: René Bobadilla, P.E., City Manager
BY: Cuong Nguyen, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 9950 – DECLARING ONE (1) PARCEL (APN: 8005- 012-031) LOCATED IN THE CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS AS

SURPLUS PROPERTY
DATE: March 4, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Find that this action is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and
2) Adopt Resolution No. 9950, declaring that real property owned by the city as surplus land and not necessary for public use pursuant to Surplus Lands Act (Gov. Code § 54220 et seq.).

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact to the City is unknown at this time. The cost of compliance with the Surplus Lands Act is not currently known. The City must notify various governmental entities and affordable housing developers about the availability of the surplus land. This statutory notification is intended to give these parties an opportunity to express interest in acquiring the land. The cost to notify local public agencies is minimal. However, depending on the number of responses to the notice of availability, City staff and consultants may need to spend multiple hours possibly negotiating with multiple entities.

The sale of the property, for a price unknown at this time, would result in a financial benefit to the City.

BACKGROUND
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MARCH 4, 2025
Declaring one (1) parcel (APN: 8005-012-031) located in the City of Santa Fe Springs as surplus property

Page 2 of 3 ends

The Surplus Lands Act (SLA) requires cities to declare property as “surplus” or “surplus exempt” before selling or leasing it and prohibits negotiations before completing required procedures. Surplus land is publicly owned property no longer needed for the agency’s use.

In an effort to spur affordable housing production, in 2019, Assembly Bill (AB) 1486 substantially amended the SLA to require public agencies to offer affordable housing developers and other government entities first right of refusal on surplus properties for the development of affordable housing or other government uses. The SLA requires cities to distribute a Notice of Availability for no less than 60 days and engage in a 90-day good faith negotiation period with developers that commit to the minimum affordable housing requirements.

ANALYSIS
N/A

ENVIRONMENTAL
The proposed action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3) (General Rule Common Sense Exemption) and Section 15312, Class 12 (Surplus Government Property Sales).

DISCUSSION
The City of Santa Fe Springs owns real property located at 12131 Telegraph Road and comprised of a single parcel (APN: 8005-012-031) (Property). The ±2.33-acre site has a General Plan land use designation of Downtown and a zoning designation of MU-DT (Mixed-Use – Downtown). Adoption of Resolution No. 9950 would mean the Property is no longer needed for the agency’s use and would commence the SLA process to dispose of the Property.

SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS
Before selling or leasing surplus land, the City of Santa Fe Springs must first declare it as surplus and offer it to eligible entities, including housing sponsors and public agencies, for affordable housing, parks, or open space. Under the Surplus Lands Act, the City must notify these entities—including local public agencies, housing sponsors, Los Angeles County, regional park authorities, the State Resources Agency, and the local school district.

Interested entities must respond within 60 days, after which the City must negotiate in good faith for 90 days. If no responses are received, the City may proceed with private negotiations. If multiple entities express interest, priority is given to those proposing CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MARCH 4, 2025

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: René Bobadilla, P.E., City Manager
BY: Lana Dich, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF THE CITY’S FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 INVESTMENT POLICY
DATE: March 4, 2025
RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Adopt of the City’s Fiscal Year 2025-26 Investment Policy

FISCAL IMPACT
N/A

BACKGROUND
Prior to January 1, 2005, State statute required the City Treasurer to render to the City Council an annual Investment Policy (“Policy”). Although the law changed to eliminate this requirement, an annual review of the Policy for legal compliance and subsequent submittal to the City Council is a good fiscal practice.

Mr. Mark Shuster, Managing Partner with Shuster Advisory Group, LLC (“Shuster”), has regularly met with Staff to review the City’s investment portfolio, including discussion on compliance with the City’s Policy and any recommended changes to the Policy.

ANALYSIS
N/A
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MARCH 4, 2025
Adoption of the City’s Fiscal Year 2025-26 Investment Policy

Page 2 of 3 ends

ENVIRONMENTAL
N/A

DISCUSSION
The current Policy was originally adopted on June 25, 2015. Minor updates have been made since that time to ensure compliance with changes to the California Government Code (“Code”).

At this time, Shuster is recommending the City update one policy section. Specifically, Shuster recommends specifying that the maturity of Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) and Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) shall be measured on the basis of WeightedAverage-Life (WAL). The maximum maturity, as measured on a WAL basis, will continue to be 5 years or less, consistent with CA Code 53601. Because Mortgage-Backed Securities and Asset-Backed Securities are considered amortizing securities, which receive principal payments, measuring maximum maturity by Weighted-Average-Life provides a more accurate representation of the expected maturity given a decreasing principal for such bonds.

The current Policy with recommended changes and the final version from Shuster outlining the recommended changes are attached to this report.

The current policy is in compliance with the requirements of the Code and are modeled after the recommended language endorsed by the California Municipal Treasurer’s Association (“CMTA”). The proposed policy retains the existing overall investment objectives, in priority order, to be (1) safety (2) liquidity and (3) return on investment:

Safety — Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.

Investments will be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure preservation of capital in the portfolio.

Liquidity — The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet its cash flow requirements.

Return on Investment — The investment portfolio will be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into consideration the investment risk constraints of safety and liquidity needs.

SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS
Once approved, Shuster will use the updated Investment Policy Statement for portfolio management.

1 ATTACHMENT A

1. Policy
City of Santa Fe Springs
Investment Policy
January 31, 2025
The intent of the Investment Policy of City of Santa Fe Springs is to define the parameters within which funds are to be managed. In methods, procedures and practices, the policy formalizes the framework for the City’s investment activities that must be exercised to ensure effective and judicious fiscal and investment management of the City’s funds. The guidelines are intended to be broad enough to allow the investment officer to function properly within the parameters of responsibility and authority, yet specific enough to adequately safeguard the investment assets.

The City will invest its funds in such a manner as to comply with applicable state laws (California Government Code Section 53600, et seq. and 53630, et seq.), ensure prudent money management, provide for daily cash flow needs, and meet the City’s investment objectives.

2. Scope
The Investment Policy applies to all funds and investment activities of the City except for the investment of bond proceeds, which are governed by the appropriate bond documents, and any pension or other post-employment benefit funds held in a trust that has a separate investment policy.

Except for funds in certain restricted and special funds, the City commingles its funds to maximize investment earnings and to increase efficiencies with regard to investment pricing, safekeeping and administration.

3. Prudence
The standard of prudence to be used by those authorized to invest on behalf of the City will be the "prudent investor" standard and will be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. The “prudent investor” standard states that:
“When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency.”

4. Objectives
The primary objectives, in priority order, of the investment activities of the City are:

City of Santa FeSprings Investment Policy
2 1. Safety — Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.

Investments will be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure preservation of capital in the portfolio.

2. Liquidity — The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet its cash flow requirements.

3. Return on Investment — The investment portfolio will be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into consideration with the investment risk constraints of safety and liquidity needs.

5. Delegation of Authority
The City Council’s management responsibility for the investment program is hereby delegated for a one-year period to the City Treasurer. Subject to review, the City Council may renew the delegation of authority pursuant to this section each year. The City Treasurer, and the Treasurer’s designees, will monitor and review all investments for consistency with this Investment Policy. The City Treasurer may delegate day-today investment decision making and execution authority to an investment advisor.

Eligible investment advisors must be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940. The advisor will follow the Policy and such other written instructions as are provided.

6. Ethics and Conflict of Interest
Officers and employees involved in the investment process will refrain from personal business activities that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial decisions. Employees and investment officials will disclose to the City Manager any material financial interests in financial institutions that conduct business within their jurisdiction, and they will further disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the City’s portfolio.

7. Authorized Financial Dealers and Institutions
The City Treasurer will maintain a list of financial dealers and institutions qualified and authorized to transact business with the City.

The purchase by the City of any investment other than those purchased directly from the issuer, will be purchased either from an institution licensed by the State as a broker-dealer, as defined in Section 25004 of the Corporations Code, who is a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), or a member of a Federally regulated securities exchange, a National or State Chartered Bank a Federal or State Association (as defined by Section 5102 of the Financial Code), or a brokerage firm designated as a Primary Government Dealer by the Federal Reserve Bank.

The City Treasurer will investigate all institutions that wish to do business with the City, in order to determine if they are adequately capitalized, make markets in securities appropriate to the City’s needs, and agree to abide by the conditions set forth in the City’s Investment Policy and any other guidelines that may be provided. This City of Santa FeSprings Investment Policy
3 will be done annually by having the financial institutions submit in writing that they have read and will abide by the City’s Investment Policy and submit its most recent audited Financial Statement within 120 days of the institution’s fiscal year end.

If the City has an investment advisor, the investment advisor may use its own list of authorized broker/dealers to conduct transactions on behalf of the City.

Purchase and sale of securities will be made on the basis of competitive bids and offers with a minimum of three quotes being obtained, whenever possible.

8. Authorized and Suitable Investment
The City will limit investments in any one issuer, except U.S. Treasuries, Federal Agencies, supranationals, and pooled funds (i.e., money market funds, local government investment pools, and LAIF), to no more than 5% regardless of security type.

Where this section specifies a percentage limitation for a particular security type, that percentage is applicable only at the date of purchase. Credit criteria listed in this section refers to the credit rating category (inclusive of modifiers) at the time the security is purchased. If an investment’s credit rating falls below the minimum rating required at the time of purchase, the City Treasurer will perform a timely review and decide whether to sell or hold the investment.
