APPROVING THE MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE

SAN GABRIEL VALLEY COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS AND THE CITY

OF SOUTH EL MONTE FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE SAN GABRIEL

VALLEY REGIONAL FOOD RECOVERY PROGRAM

California's Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383), passed in 2016, established strict methane reduction targets that required the state to decrease organic waste disposal by 75% and rescue 20% of surplus edible food. To meet these goals, a phased mandate required large commercial edible food generators (EFGs)—such as grocery stores in 2022 and large-scale restaurants and hotels in 2024—to establish contracts and donate their surplus food to food recovery organizations (FROs). To assist local jurisdictions with education, enforcement, and capacity building, the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) launched the FRESH SGV Regional Food Recovery Program in 2021. Funded by a CalRecycle grant, this regional initiative directly supports the City of South El Monte by conducting compliance inspections, providing operational resources and staffing to local FROs, and offering local food generators paid access to the Careit recordkeeping application to streamline food rescue logistics.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council authorize the City Manager or designee to negotiate and execute a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), including authority to negotiate and execute any future amendments related to budget and scope, with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) for implementation of the FRESH SGV Program for a total "Not to Exceed" amount of $81,682.00.

12.a. MAYOR GLORIA OLMOS

1. That with this new Arts District coming in, no Mayor or Councilmember can have any type of affiliation or any type of business for self or family members for up to at least two years of being out of their elected position. To prevent any conflict of interest.

Discussion topics included how councilmembers are already restricted on using their public office to influence decisions or benefit their own businesses, that there are already State laws that cover this topic citywide for up to a year after an official leaves office, and this item would have come back at a future meeting to make it more stringent and to apply it specifically to the Arts District.

Received and filed.

2. Create steps with the grass area instead of leveling out the grassy area where the pools are to accommodate a safer area.

Discussion topics included steps creating another slip and fall liability, if any other document incidents exist, the safety of having steps to go up a hill, concerns with skateboarders, reviewing costs to add steps or a ramp, and discussing potential additional hazard issues with the insurance company.

Received and filed.

3. It was brought to my attention that a Councilmember is no longer living in our city. He’s renting out his home. Send out notice of the rules they must live in South El Monte not just own to rent out.

Discussion topics included confirming which councilmember is alleged to no longer reside in the city, issues with rumors and hearsay making it to the agenda, prior history on the same topic regarding a commissioner not residing in the City, addressing the issue prior to reaching the agenda, warnings of slander, invasion of privacy and encouragement of monitoring councilmembers daily schedules, and having the City Attorney send out the letter on rules of residence.

Received and filed.

12.b. COUNCILMEMBER HECTOR DELGADO

1. Action/discussion/direction on placing before our voters in the November 2026 Election, consideration of having term limits or limiting terms (4 or 5) for our City Council/Mayor.

Approved2Final Minutes Approved Approved2

COUNCILMEMBERS’ AGENDA (CONTINUED)
Item 12.b.1.

Discussion topics included term limits used as a tool to engage communities in transparency, to cut down on corruption, as opportunities for new ideas and new people to come to the table, options other cities use, councilmembers can self-impose term limits by not running, voters can impose term limits by not reelecting councilmembers, agreeing with cool-off periods before being able to run again, residents have voiced this for some time, supporting four terms to allow time to complete projects, and the cost to include the measure on the ballot.

Motion by Councilmember Delgado, seconded by Councilmember Acosta, to place a ballot measure for the voters to decide on a four fouryear terms limit with a lifetime ban after that four-term. Motion passed 5- 0, by the following vote:

AYES: Councilmember(s): Acosta, Delgado, Rodriguez, Mayor Pro Tem Bojorquez, and Mayor Olmos
NAYS: Councilmember(s): None
ABSENT: Councilmember(s): None

2. Action/discussion/direction on placing before our voters in the November 2026 Election, consideration of going back to having a rotating mayorship.

Discussion topics included that mayorship in the City was rotating since incorporation in 1958, mayorship was changed to an elected position in the 2000s, going back to rotating mayorship reserves the council as coequals as a whole equal body, avoids separate mayoral election costs, the title is ceremonial, addresses complacency, corruption, and conflict of interest issues, current FPPC violation cases, active investigations, and lawsuits, building trust back in the mayorship, taking away the voters right to choose their mayor, challenging each other for mayorship through votes, council bullying through majority votes, Democratic principles, the structure of similar small cities having a ceremonial Mayor with equal power versus larger cities having elected Mayors with executive power, most cities default to rotating mayor because it’s not an executive role, voters might decide to keep mayorship the way it is, and majority vote has been blocking certain individuals from the Mayor Pro Tem role.

Motion by Councilmember Delgado, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Bojorquez, to place a ballot measure for the voters to decide on going back to rotating mayor. Motion passed 3-2, by the following vote:

AYES: Councilmember(s): Delgado, Rodriguez, and Mayor Pro Tem Bojorquez

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 7.c.

DATE: September 15, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
APPROVED BY: Rene Salas, City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Gerardo Marquez, Director of Community Development & Public Works
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 26-065,

APPROVING THE MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT

BETWEEN THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY COUNCIL OF

GOVERNMENTS AND THE CITY OF SOUTH EL MONTE FOR

PARTICIPATION IN THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY REGIONAL

FOOD RECOVERY PROGRAM
SUMMARY: California's Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383), passed in 2016, established strict methane reduction targets that required the state to decrease organic waste disposal by 75% and rescue 20% of surplus edible food. To meet these goals, a phased mandate required large commercial edible food generators (EFGs)—such as grocery stores in 2022 and large-scale restaurants and hotels in 2024—to establish contracts and donate their surplus food to food recovery organizations (FROs). To assist local jurisdictions with education, enforcement, and capacity building, the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) launched the FRESH SGV Regional Food Recovery Program in 2021. Funded by a CalRecycle grant, this regional initiative directly supports the City of South El Monte by conducting compliance inspections, providing operational resources and staffing to local FROs, and offering local food generators paid access to the Careit recordkeeping application to streamline food rescue logistics.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council authorize the City Manager or designee to negotiate and execute a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), including authority to negotiate and execute any future amendments related to budget and scope, with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) for implementation of the FRESH SGV Program for a total "Not to Exceed" amount of $81,682.00.

FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: Total program costs are $81,682.00 for the program period. Year 1 costs are $29,722.00 and Year 2 costs are $51,960.00.

DISCUSSION: Passed in 2016, SB 1383 (Lara) set methane emissions reduction targets for California, including a requirement to reduce organic waste disposal by 75% by 2025, and rescue at least 20% of currently disposed surplus food for people to eat by 2025.

• Beginning in 2022, large commercial edible food generators (EFGs), such as grocery stores, supermarkets, wholesale food vendors, and food service providers, were required to donate edible food to food recovery organizations (FROs), such as food pantries and food banks.
• Beginning in 2024, health facilities, hotels, venues, restaurants, and other largescale food facilities were also required to donate edible food. • All large food generators are also required to establish contracts with FROs to formalize these donations.

Local jurisdictions are responsible for educating commercial EFGs, increasing EFG access to FROs, monitoring food generator compliance, and increasing food recovery capacity if there is insufficient capacity to meet food recovery targets.

To help jurisdictions meet these goals, the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) launched the FRESH SGV (Food Recovery for Equity, Sustainability, and Health in the SGV) Regional Food Recovery Program in 2021. One of the largest regional food recovery programs in California, this program:
• Provides education, outreach, and inspections of commercial EFGs and FROs, • Facilitates enforcement of SB 1383 between cities and EFGs, and • Establishes partnerships with local FROs for the maximum recovery of edible food.

Since 2024, the FRESH SGV program has been funded by the CalRecycle SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant. The City of South El Monte has participated in the program, which included:
• Five rounds of compliance inspections and enforcement activities for EFGs and FROs;
• Equipment, supplies, staffing, and operational support for FROs to effectively recover and redistribute surplus food from EFGs; and
• Paid access to the Careit Recordkeeping Application (App) for South El Monte Edible Food Generators.

Program Services
The SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant term concludes on November 2, 2026. To continue to comply with SB 1383 requirements, staff recommends the City of South El Monte renew participation in the FRESH SGV Program from November 2026 – June 2028.

FRESH SGV Program services will include:
• Task 1 - Program Management: SGVCOG will oversee overall program implementation and coordination. This includes procuring and managing consultants, administering the inspection contract, facilitating the completion of education, outreach, inspection, and enforcement activities, and providing the necessary information for the City of South El Monte’s CalRecycle Electronic Annual Report (EAR).

• Task 1.a. - Careit Software Subscription: SGVCOG will retain a Careit Executive Account to help municipalities increase commercial edible food generator access to food recovery organizations and food recovery services. Careit is a digital food donation marketplace that matches any type of business with extra edible food to a nearby nonprofit. Nonprofits find donations in their area that match their food requirements and set up a pick-up or drop-off with the donor and their staff or volunteers. Careit includes all necessary SB 1383 record-keeping requirements for edible food generators, food recovery organizations, and food recovery services.
• Task 2 - Inspections: SGVCOG and its consultants will complete inspections of Tier 1 and Tier 2 edible food generators (EFGs) and food recovery organizations (FROs), enumerated in Table 1, based on the schedule shown in Table 2. While South El Monte has 104 EFGs and 1 FRO, 48 will be inspected during the 2026- 28 program. City staff will be responsible for completing enforcement actions in conjunction with the SGVCOG in accordance with the schedule in Table 2.

SGVCOG and its consultants will provide all necessary documentation to City following inspections to facilitate City’s enforcement actions (e.g., notices of violation (NOVs), letters of non-compliance, or financial penalties).

• Task 3 - Edible Food Recovery Program Implementation: SGVCOG will implement projects that ensure and enhance the region’s capacity to recover edible food, as required by SB 1383. Activities may include but are not limited to supporting the food recovery capacity of FROs or piloting other innovative approaches to increasing edible food recovery capacity.

Program Costs
• Task 1 - Program Management: Program Management cost is calculated as 10% of the budgeted cost of compliance and non-compliance inspections. • Task 1.a. – Careit Software Subscription: Careit Software Subscription cost is based on the number of EFGs and FROs in the City.
• Task 2 - Inspections: Task 2 costs are estimated based on the anticipated unit cost of each inspection and the estimated number of non-compliance inspections that are required. If the actual cost for the implementation of Task 2 differs from the budgeted amount, SGVCOG will reconcile those costs in coordination with the City. Noncompliance inspections are budgeted with an assumption that 65% of EFGs and FROs will require non-compliance inspections.
• Task 3 - Edible Food Recovery: Edible Food Recovery Program Implementation costs are based on the number of EFGs in the City.

Exhibit “A”
Scope of Services
Task 1: Program Management
SGVCOG will oversee Program implementation, including but not limited to managing consultants, facilitating the completing of inspections, managing the inspection contract (including the inspection, education, and enforcement process) and supporting compliance reporting with the City for its annual CalRecycle reporting.

Task 1a: Careit Software Subscription
SGVCOG will retain a Careit Executive Account to help municipalities increase commercial edible food generator access to food recovery organizations and food recovery services. Careit is a digital food donation marketplace that matches any type of business with extra edible food to a nearby nonprofit. Nonprofits find donations in their area that match their food requirements and set up a pick-up or drop-off with the donor and their staff or volunteers. Careit includes all necessary SB 1383 record-keeping requirements for edible food generators, food recovery organizations, and food recovery services.

Through Careit:
• Businesses and nonprofits can download the Careit app and login to post their available food donations.
• Nonprofits can reserve the donations and enter the final weights. • Businesses can view a tiled photo list of all donations showing the name and contact info of the food recovery organization, list, and category of items donated, date of donation, and quantity of items donated.
• Businesses and nonprofits can see a running tally of the donations’ weight, which can be filtered by the past day, week, month, year, or all time. • Businesses and nonprofits can auto-generate a written agreement between each party for every donation recovered through the app. Written agreements are available to download on the user’s profile through their online dashboard.

Enforcement: City staff will be responsible for completing enforcement actions in conjunction with the SGVCOG in accordance with the schedule in Table 1. SGVCOG and its consultants will provide all necessary documentation to City following inspections to facilitate City’s enforcement actions (e.g. notices of violation (NOVs), letters of non-compliance, or financial penalties). • Notice of Violation (NOV): Formal notice issued to a non-compliant EFG or FRO specifying SB 1383 violations, required corrective actions, and a timeline for compliance and financial penalties.
• Letter of Non-Compliance: Notice issued to a non-compliant EFG or FRO specifying SB 1383 violations and corrective actions needed to achieve compliance without issuing financial penalties.

In the event that Consultant or any employee, agent, subcontractor, or independent contractor of Consultant providing services under this Agreement claims or is determined by a federal or state agency, a court of competent jurisdiction, or the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (“CalPERS”) to be classified as other than an independent contractor for the City, then Consultant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City for the payment of any and all assessed fines, penalties, judgments, employee and/or employer contributions, and any other damages and costs assessed to the City as a consequence of, or in any way attributable to, the assertion that Consultant or any of Consultant’s personnel used to provide the services under this Agreement are other than independent contractors of the City.

4.5 Prohibition Against Subcontracting or Assignment.

The experience, knowledge, capability, and reputation of Consultant, its Principals and employees were a substantial inducement for the City to enter into this Agreement. Therefore, Consultant shall not contract with any other entity to perform in whole or in part the services required hereunder without the express written approval of the City. In addition, neither this Agreement nor any interest herein may be transferred, assigned, conveyed, hypothecated, or encumbered voluntarily or by operation of law, whether for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, without the prior written approval of City. Transfers restricted hereunder shall include the transfer to any person or group of persons acting in concert of more than twenty five percent (25%) of the present ownership and/or control of Consultant, taking all transfers into account on a cumulative basis. In the event of any such unapproved transfer, including any bankruptcy proceeding, this Agreement shall be void. No approved transfer shall release the Consultant or any surety of Consultant of any liability hereunder without the express consent of City.

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 noncontributory 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.
(d) City’s Rights of Enforcement. In the event any insurance policy required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will either be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or the City will withhold payment amounts sufficient to pay the insurance premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, the City may terminate this Agreement in its entirety.
(e) Acceptable Insurers.

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 or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. 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.
(g) 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.
(h) 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

01257.0001/867754.3 10
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 Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City. (i) Notice of Cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to City with a thirty (30) day advance notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.

(k) 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 in writing . (l) 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 a 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. (m) Pass Through Clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant. 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. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be timely submitted to City for review. (n) Agency’s Right to Revise Specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of this Agreement 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.
(o) Self-Insured Retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by City.
(p) 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

01257.0001/867754.3 11
under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.
(q) 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.

5.3 Indemnification.

Consultant shall incorporate similar indemnity agreements with its subcontractors and if it fails to do so Consultant shall be fully responsible to indemnify City hereunder therefore, and failure of City to monitor compliance with these provisions shall not be a waiver hereof.

The provisions of this Section do not apply to claims or liabilities occurring as a result of City’s sole negligence or willful acts or omissions, but, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall apply to claims and liabilities resulting in part from City’s negligence, except that

01257.0001/867754.3 12
design professionals’ indemnity hereunder shall be limited to claims and liabilities arising out of the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the design professional. The indemnity obligation shall be binding on successors and assigns of Consultant and shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

Consultant shall periodically prepare and submit to the Contract Officer such reports concerning the performance of the services required by this Agreement as the Contract Officer requires. Consultant hereby acknowledges that the City is greatly concerned about the cost of work and services to be performed pursuant to this Agreement. For this reason, Consultant agrees that if Consultant becomes aware of any facts, circumstances, techniques, or events that may or will materially increase or decrease the cost of the work or services contemplated herein or, if Consultant is providing design services, the cost of the project being designed, Consultant shall promptly notify the Contract Officer of said fact, circumstance, technique or event and the estimated increased or decreased cost related thereto and, if Consultant is providing design services, the estimated increased or decreased cost estimate for the project being designed.

6.3 Ownership of Documents.

All drawings, specifications, maps, designs, photographs, studies, surveys, data, notes, computer files, reports, records, documents and other materials (the “documents and materials”) prepared by Consultant, its employees, subcontractors and agents in the performance of this Agreement shall be the property of City and shall be delivered to City upon request of the Contract Officer or upon the termination of this Agreement, and Consultant shall have no claim for further employment or additional compensation as a result of the exercise by City of its full rights of ownership, use, reuse, or assignment of the documents and materials hereunder. Any use, reuse or assignment of

01257.0001/867754.3 13
such completed documents for other projects and/or use of uncompleted documents without specific written authorization by the Consultant will be at the City’s sole risk and without liability to Consultant, and Consultant’s guarantee and warranties shall not extend to such use, reuse or assignment. Consultant may retain copies of such documents for its own use. Consultant shall have the right to use the concepts embodied therein. All subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any documents or materials prepared by them, and in the event Consultant fails to secure such assignment, Consultant shall indemnify City for all damages resulting therefrom.

City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Consultant or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Consultant agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Consultant. However, City’s right to review does not imply or provide City with the right to control, direct, or rewrite said response.

ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION

7.1 California Law.

This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be

01257.0001/867754.3 14
instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Los Angeles, State of California.

7.2 Disputes; Default.

In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default.

This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Consultant’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.

7.3 Retention of Funds.

Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.

7.4 Waiver.

Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.

Acceptance by City of any work or services by Consultant shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.

Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

01257.0001/867754.3 15

7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.

Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.

7.6 Legal Action.

In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Consultant shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et seq. and 910 et seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement.

This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided for in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Consultant, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Consultant, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Consultant reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to City, except that where termination is due to the fault of the City, the period of notice may be such shorter time as the Consultant may determine. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided for in Section 7.3. In the event the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.

7.8 Termination for Default of Consultant.

If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.

01257.0001/867754.3 16

7.9 Attorneys’ Fees.

If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or is made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees. Attorney’s fees shall include attorney’s fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney’s fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation. All such fees shall be deemed to have accrued on commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.

INFINITY TECHNOLOGIES | CITY OF SOUTH EL MONTE RFP 2
SECTION 1. APPROACH AND SCOPE OF WORK

1.1 UNDERSTANDING OF THE CITY’S NEEDS
The City of South El Monte (City) operates in a fully cloud-based environment supporting approximately 176 users, 99 endpoints, and 117 mobile devices across multiple facilities and departments. The City's technology environment relies heavily on Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Microsoft Defender, Tyler ERP Pro, Laserfiche, NetFile, Readyly, Rhombus Cameras, and other cloud-hosted business systems that support daily municipal operations.

As a contract city without internal IT staff, the City relies on its managed services provider not only for technical support, but also for strategic planning, cybersecurity oversight, technology governance, vendor management, and operational continuity. In our experience supporting local government agencies, successful technology programs require a balance between operational reliability, cybersecurity, fiscal responsibility, and long-term planning. Technology decisions must support service delivery, minimize risk, and remain aligned with budgetary constraints and organizational priorities.

Based on our understanding of the City's environment and our experience supporting the City since February 2026, we recognize several key priorities:
• Maintaining reliable and responsive support for City staff and operations. • Strengthening cybersecurity and reducing organizational risk. • Developing and maintaining formal IT governance, disaster recovery, and business continuity documentation.
• Improving technology lifecycle planning and budget predictability. • Maintaining accurate system, asset, and licensing records. • Supporting future technology initiatives and operational improvements. • Providing City leadership with actionable information for technology planning and decisionmaking.

Infinity Technologies' approach is designed to address these priorities through proactive management, structured governance, measurable service delivery, and continuous improvement.

Infinity Technologies views the City's recently completed IT Risk Assessment as a valuable strategic asset. Our objective is not to repeat the assessment process, but to transform assessment findings into measurable operational, cybersecurity, governance, and resiliency improvements through a structured implementation and continuous improvement program.

1.1.1 Understanding of Current Environment and Immediate Priorities Based on our current support of the City and information provided through the RFP process, Infinity Technologies recognizes that the City's next phase of technology maturity extends beyond day-today support and focuses on documentation, cybersecurity, resiliency, governance, and long-term planning.

INFINITY TECHNOLOGIES | CITY OF SOUTH EL MONTE RFP 3
While the City has successfully adopted a modern cloud-first architecture built upon Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Microsoft Defender, and cloud-hosted business systems, several foundational technology management and governance elements remain opportunities for continued maturation. These include the completion of comprehensive asset inventories, network documentation, infrastructure documentation, disaster recovery planning, business continuity planning, cybersecurity maturity development, and formalized technology governance processes.

Infinity Technologies has structured its service delivery approach to address these priorities through a phased program of discovery, documentation, risk reduction, operational stabilization, governance, and continuous improvement. Our objective is not only to maintain existing services but to establish a mature, sustainable technology management framework that supports City operations, reduces organizational risk, and improves long-term planning capabilities.

1.2 APPROACH
Infinity Technologies approaches municipal technology management as an ongoing operational and governance function rather than a collection of isolated technical services. Our objective is to provide stable daily operations while helping the City reduce risk, improve resiliency, and make informed technology investment decisions.

A central objective of our approach is to provide the City with greater predictability, clarity, and oversight of its technology environment. As a fully outsourced IT organization, the City must be able to clearly understand service performance, technology risks, future investment requirements, and ongoing operational priorities. Our service delivery model is designed to provide that visibility through structured governance, transparent reporting, proactive planning, and regular engagement with City leadership.

Rather than operating as a reactive support provider, Infinity Technologies utilizes a management framework focused on operational stability, risk reduction, lifecycle planning, and continuous improvement. This approach allows City leadership to make informed technology decisions while maintaining predictable service levels and technology expenditures.

Our approach recognizes that municipal technology environments must support transparency, accountability, public service delivery, regulatory compliance, and fiscal stewardship. Accordingly, technology recommendations are evaluated not only for technical merit, but also for operational impact, budget sustainability, organizational readiness, and long-term value to the City.

1.2.1 Discovery, Documentation and Stabilization Program During the initial ninety (90) days following contract award, Infinity Technologies will execute a structured Discovery, Validation, Documentation, and Stabilization Program designed to confirm current-state conditions, review the City's recently completed independent IT Risk Assessment, and establish a baseline for ongoing technology management, operational maturity, cybersecurity enhancement, and continuous improvement.

prioritized based on operational impact, risk reduction, regulatory requirements, organizational priorities, and available funding.

Through this structured governance process, City leadership receives clear visibility into technology performance, risks, future investment requirements, and strategic opportunities, enabling informed decision-making and predictable technology expenditures. A representative Governance and Executive Reporting Framework is provided in Appendix B.

1.2.3 Proactive Service Delivery
Reliable technology operations require more than reactive support. Infinity Technologies utilizes a proactive service delivery model that combines onsite support, remote help desk services, continuous monitoring, preventative maintenance, and structured escalation procedures.

To support daily operations, Infinity Technologies will assign a dedicated IT Site Lead to provide onsite support three (3) days per week for a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours per week during normal City business hours. The onsite resource will serve as the primary point of contact for enduser support, technology coordination, documentation maintenance, standards reviews, project support, and operational planning activities.

Service requests are received through multiple channels, including phone, email, and the service portal, and are prioritized according to business impact and urgency. Requests are assigned to appropriate technical resources based on skill requirements and tracked through resolution using documented workflows and escalation procedures. Recurring issues are reviewed to identify root causes and opportunities for permanent resolution rather than repeated remediation.

Onsite activities are structured around preventative maintenance, user support, documentation updates, asset reviews, project coordination, and technology planning to ensure onsite time is utilized efficiently and provides maximum value to City departments.

This approach improves service reliability, reduces recurring issues, and minimizes operational disruptions.

1.2.4 Cybersecurity Maturity Roadmap
Cybersecurity is a core operational responsibility and not a standalone technology function. Infinity Technologies will maintain a layered security program designed to protect City systems, data, and users while supporting regulatory and cyber insurance requirements.

The City has made significant investments in Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Microsoft Defender, Conditional Access, and related security technologies. Our approach is to maximize and mature these existing investments before recommending replacement technologies. Security improvements will be implemented, in coordination with the City, through optimization of the current Microsoft security stack, policy enhancements, monitoring improvements, and user awareness initiatives.

INFINITY TECHNOLOGIES | CITY OF SOUTH EL MONTE RFP 6
Security management follows a continuous improvement model that combines technology controls, administrative controls, user awareness, and governance. Security events, vulnerabilities, compliance issues, and emerging risks are reviewed regularly and prioritized based on potential operational impact. This approach enables the City to address risk systematically rather than through isolated security initiatives.

The program also emphasizes governance, policy development, incident preparedness, and organizational awareness to ensure cybersecurity responsibilities are embedded throughout City operations rather than managed solely through technology controls.

Where additional tools or services are recommended, they will be evaluated based on operational need, integration capabilities, risk reduction value, and cost effectiveness. Additional security controls will complement existing investments rather than unnecessarily replace technologies already deployed by the City.

Our approach includes continuous monitoring, endpoint protection, identity management, security awareness training, phishing simulations, vulnerability management, incident response planning, and annual security assessments. Security controls will be reviewed regularly to ensure they remain aligned with evolving threats and organizational needs.

Cybersecurity improvements will be implemented through a phased maturity model designed to reduce organizational risk while maximizing the City's existing investments in Microsoft security technologies.

Initial priorities include:
• Review of existing security controls and risk assessment findings. • Vulnerability management program development.
• Security awareness training and phishing simulation programs. • Incident Response Plan development.
• Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity planning.
• Evaluation of Security Operations Center (SOC) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) capabilities.
• Annual security assessments and tabletop exercises.

This phased approach enables the City to continuously improve cybersecurity maturity through measurable and sustainable initiatives rather than isolated technology projects.

Beyond technology controls, we will assist the City in formalizing policies, procedures, governance practices, and risk management processes that support a sustainable cybersecurity program and ongoing alignment with evolving threats, regulatory expectations, and cyber insurance requirements.

INFINITY TECHNOLOGIES | CITY OF SOUTH EL MONTE RFP 7

1.2.5 Technology Lifecycle and Operational Planning
Technology assets, software platforms, and cybersecurity investments require ongoing planning to avoid unexpected expenditures and operational risks. Infinity Technologies maintains lifecycle management as a continuous process rather than a periodic exercise.

We will maintain current asset inventories, licensing records, warranty information, vendor contract inventories, and replacement schedules while providing annual recommendations regarding refresh cycles, licensing optimization, cybersecurity investments, and future technology initiatives.

Lifecycle planning is integrated into the City's annual budgeting process. Assets are categorized according to age, supportability, warranty status, and operational criticality. This allows replacement recommendations to be prioritized based on risk and business need, reducing the likelihood of emergency purchases and helping the City maintain predictable technology expenditures.

By forecasting replacement cycles, licensing renewals, cybersecurity requirements, and infrastructure improvements, City leadership receives advance visibility into future budget requirements, improving financial planning and reducing unexpected expenditures. This planning process also supports informed capital improvement planning and long-range budget development.
