URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLANNING ACT (CALIFORNIA WATER CODE DIVISION 6, PART 2.6, SECTIONS 10610 THROUGH 10657) AS MANDATF,D IN

CAIIFORNIA
PURPOSE. StatelawrequirestheCitytoupdateandsubmititsUrbanWaterManagementP1anevery five years to demonstrate that it has adequate water supplies to meet future community needs. The law also requires the City to adopt a Water Shortage Contingency Plan that outlines how water supplies would be managed during droughts or other water shortage emergencies, Adoption of the proposed Resolution by July 1, 2026, is required to comply withthese state requirements.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Following the conclusion ofthe Public Hearing, the City Council will consider:
a. Receiving and filing a presentation of the City's 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP); and
b, Adopting a Resolution adopting the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and Water Shortage Contingency Plan to comply with the Urban Water Management Planning Act (California Water CodeDivision 6, Part2,6, Sections 10610 tbrough 10657) asmandated by the State of California.

FI8CAL IMPACT: There is no impact on the General Fund, The total cost of preparing the UWMP and WSCP was $28,500, which was funded with Water Funds in Account No, 411-731-71-6101.

NOTICINGREQUIREMENTS: TheNoticeofPublicHearingfortheCity's2025UWMPandWSCP was published inthe LosAngeles Wave newspaper on May 14, 2026, and May 21, 2026, and was posted on the City's website. Additionally, the 60-day Notice of Public Hearing was mailed directly to Los Angeles County Department ofPublic Works, Golden State Water Company, and the Cities of Downey, HuntingtonPark, and Lynwood to meetthe requirements ofthe State's Water Code. No comments were received.

ANALYSIS: State law requires urban water suppliers that provide more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually or maintain more than 3,000 service connections to prepare and update an {JWMP every five years. The City is required to comply with these requirements because it serves approximately 14,400 water service connections and delivers approximately 8,000 acre-feet of water annually. The 'UWMP 9 serves as the City's long-range water supply plaru"iing document and demonstrates that sufficient water supplies are available to meet current and future community needs.

State law also requires the City to prepare and adopt a Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP), which outlines how water supplies would be managed during droughts and other water shortage emergencies.

The City's current UWMP WSCP was adopted in 2021. The updated 2025 UWMP and WSCP must be adopted and submitted to the California Department of Water Resources by July 1, 2026. Failure to comply with these requirements could affect the City's eligibility for certain State and Federal water- related grants, loans, and drought assistance programs.

The City has completed both documents and is seeking City Council adoption to satisfy State requirements. The 2025 UWMP concludes that the City has sufficient water supplies and groundwater pumping allocations to meet projected water demands throughout the 25-year planning horizon, while the WSCP provides a framework for responding to future droughts and water shortage emergencies.

BACKGROUND: The 2025 UWMP is a long-term resource planning tool that assesses existing and future potable water resources and water demands. It identifies measures for managing water demand, including conservation programs, implementation strategies, public outreach, education efforts, and water savings analyses.

The 2025 UWMP requires urban water suppliers to report projected water use in five-year increments over a 25-year planning horizon in accordance with Water Code Section 10635(a). The Plan evaluates past, present, and projected conditions regarding population, demographics, climate trends, water production, water consumption, and conservation measures.

The 2025 UWMP includes a Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP), which outlines the actions the City may implement during water shortage emergencies and drought conditions. The WSCP establishes response actions and corresponding conservation measures for six standard water shortage levels pursuant to State Water Code requirements.

Key findings of the 2025 UWMP include the following:
* The City's water system continues to be supported primarily by groundwater from the Central Basin, which remains capable of meeting projected potable water demands over the planning horizon. The City maintains emergency interconnections with neighboring agencies and Metropolitan Water District (MWD) connections to supplement supply if necessary. @ The City maintains sufficient water rights and pumping allocations to meet projected customer demands. The annual Allowed Pumping Allocation (APA) continues to exceed projected annual demand.
* The City has continued implementing water conservation requirements consistent with State mandates, including Senate Bill x7-7 and newer water use efficiency regulations established by the State.
* The City's water conservation efforts include permanent water waste prohibitions, full metering, conservation-based pricing structures, public outreach, distribution system loss monitoring, and ongoing meter replacement and infrastruchire improvement programs. 1 10
* The City continues to participate in regional conservation partnerships and rebate programs offered through the Central Basin Municipal Water District (CBMWD) and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), including programs supporting turf replacement, high-efficiency fixtures, and commercial water use improvements. * The WSCP establishes response actions for progressive shortage levels and provides flexibility for the City Council to adopt additional conservatiorx regulations in response to future State Water Resources Control Board emergency regulations or regional drought conditions.

The UWMP demonstrates that the City is projected to maintain adequate water supplies to meet customer demands under normal operating conditions throughout the 25-year planning period.

StTBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTTON FSTAJ3I,TSTTTNG A

CONDITIONAL, ONE-TIME WATER BILL DISCOUNT PROGRAM, AND IMPACTS

ON THE WATER FTJND AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PURPOSE: To present the City Council with information on a potential conditional, one-time water bill discount program that would take effect only if the proposed Utility Users Tax (OUT) measure is approved by voters, to seek Council direction on program parameters, and to present a draft Resolution for the Council's consideration and possible adoption. The report explains the resulting effects on the Water Fund, the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), and the General Fund. It is informational and takes no position onthe UUT measure itself, RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider:
a. Review and discuss the information presented regarding a potential conditional, one-time water bill discount program that would take effect only if the proposed Utility Users Tax (OUT) measure is approved by voters in the upcoming Municipal Election to be held November 3, 2026;
b. Provide direction on the final program parameters to be incorporated into the resolution, including:

1. The discount percentage and total one-yem: program amount, such as a 10o/o discount resulting in approximately $2.2 million in water revenue not collected; 2, Whethercomparablereliefshouldbeprovidedtocustomersservedbynon-Citywater providers, including Golden State Water customers, and whether General Fund resources should be used for that purpose; and
c, Adopt a Resolution establishing a conditional, one-time water bill discount program, effective only upon voter approval of the TJ[JT measure, incorporating City Council direction provided duringthis meeting, and authorizing the City Managerto take all actions necessary to implement the program, subject to final approval as to form by the City Attorney,
SUMMARY: This report describes an option for a temporary, one-time discount on water bills.

The discount would be paid for by delaying the timing of certain planned water infrastructure projects, not by spending "extra'= or surplus money. It will take effect only if voters approve the 1 21
Utility Users Tax (UUT) measure. No funded projects already under construction or design would be affected.

The City Council is considering whetherto adopt, in advance, aresolution describing a conditional, one-time water bill discount (for example, 10% to 20o/o over about one year). The discount would take effect only inthe event the U'[TT measure is approved by voters. It is presented as a conditional budget policy option that would be implemented only if the City's overall fiscal plan changes following voter approval of the measure. This report is informational; it does not urge support for or opposition to the measure.

The water utility does not have a pool of spare cash. Water rate revenue (about $22 million per year) is roughly equal to the cost of operating the system and paying debt, so current rates add little or nothing to reserves each year. The water fund shows an accumulated balance of about $57 million, but this is a one-time amount that built up over the years to fund Water infrastructure improvements, not a recurring surplus. Of that balance, about $10 million is set aside as operating and emergency reserves under the City's adopted Budget & Financial Policies, leaving about $47 million of one-time capacity for capital work.

That $47 million is already planned for identified capital needs. Identified water capital needs total about $164.75 million across three phases: $28.3 million in funded projects now in construction or design (Phase I), $56.45 million in projects planned over the next five years (Phase II), and $80 million in currently unfunded project needs (Phase III). Needs far exceed available resources, so there is no uncommitted surplus to draw from.

City Council direction is requested on whether to proceed and, if so, on the discount level, program size, and treatment of non-City water customers.

FISCAL IMPACT: For the Water Fund, water revenue not billed would be approximately $2.2 million to $4.4 million over the one-year program, depending on the discount level chosen (10% to 20%). This results in a corresponding reduction in funding available to keep Phase II projects on schedule, requiring the reprioritization or deferral of one or more Phase II projects. There is no impact on funded Phase I projects. In addition, delaying Phase II projects would increase fuhire project costs due to inflation and rising construction, labor, and material costs.

For the General Fund (only if comparable relief is extended to non-City customers), the illustrative reimbursement to Golden State Water and any other non-City providers would be approximately $300,000 to $600,000, depending on the credit level and final program design. Any such reimbursement would not be automatic; it would require a separate, legally approved mechanism, as described under Analysis below.

All figures are preliminary planning estimates. Exact amounts depend on the discount level, the billed-revenue base, the number of affected customers, and the final program design, and will be refined before any program is implemented.
2 22
BACKGROUND:

Water Rates and Revenue
The City operates its water system as an enterprise fund. An enterprise fund is a self-supporting account funded by the rates customers pay, kept separate from the City's General Fund. Water rates are set to cover the cost of operating and maintaining the system, paying debt service on past infrastructure borrowing, funding capital projects, and maintaining reserves.

Annual water rate revenue is approximately equal to annual operating costs plus debt service, totaling about $22 million per year. Because revenue and costs are closely matched, current rates add little or no new money to reserves in a typical year.

The City's most recent water rate study was completed in June 2011, and the last rate adjustment took effect in Fiscal Year 2015-16.

Outstanding Water Bonds and Rate Covenant
The Water Fund has two outstanding revenue bond series: the 2019 Series A Water Revenue Refunding Bonds (tax-exempt) and the 2019 Series A-T Water Revenue Refunding Bonds (taxable). These bonds, with combined outstanding principal of approximately $21.1 million, refunded the City's 2012 Water Revenue Bonds and are secured by net water system revenues.

Combined annual debt service is approximately $2.5 million per year and is essentially level through final maturity in Fiscal Year 2035-36.

The bonds include a rate covenant requiring that net water system revenues equal at least 1.15 times annual debt service, or approximately $2.9 million per year. Because the proposed program does not change water rates, the underlying rate structure continues to produce the same revenue per unit of water delivered. The Water Fund also earns investment income on its accumulated balance, and projected net revenues exceed the l.l5x threshold under each discount scenario presented in this report.

Water Fund Balance and Reserves
The water fund holds an accumulated balance of approximately $57 million. This balance built up over time and is one-time monies programmed for infrastructure improvements; it is not an ongoing annual surplus. As shown below, about $10 million is maintained as operating and emergency reserves under the City's adopted Budget & Financial Policies, leaving about $47 million of one-time a available for a jects.

Total accumulated water fund balance (one-time, not recurring) $57,000,000 Less: operating and emergency reserves to be maintained Figures are working estimates.
($1 0,000,000)
The key point for policy is that this $47 million is finite and is not being replenished by current rates. Once it is spent or not collected, it is gone unless future rate adjustments or other 'Junding sources are adopted.
3 23
Capital Improvement Needs
The City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is the City's multi-year plan and budget for building, replacing, and upgrading infrastruchire. The CIP identifies a large and growing list of water system needs. Major categories include:
* PFAS treatment facilities. PFAS [per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, a group of regulated "forever chemicals"] must be removed from drinking water to meet state and federal standards. The City has a $13 million treatment system in design (Phase I) and an additional $9 million system planned (Phase II).

Water main and pipeline replacements, including a $6 million Phase III pipeline project in design and $25 million of 'further replacements planned over five years.

Well rehabilitation and replacement, including the $7 million Well 30 projects.

Meter modernization (AMR/AMI) [Automated Meter Reading / Advanced Metering Infrastructure, which allows meters to be read remotely], including a $1.8 million current phase and $8 million of future work.

Reservoir, valve, and other system reliability improvements.

These projects are identified in the City's Water Master Plan and multi-year CIP. The detailed, phased project list provided by Public Works is shown in the Capital Projects table under Analysis, below.

ANALYSIS:

Water Fund Financial Context
Three facts frame the analysis. First, water rate revenue (about $22 million per year) is roughly equal to annual operating and debt service costs, so rates do not materially build reserves each year. Second, the existing $57 million balance is accumulated, one-time capacity to fund infrastructure improvements, not a recurring surplus. Third, after setting aside about $10 million in reserves, roughly $47 million remains for capital work, which is already planned for identified projects. In short, the water fund balance is not a sign of spare money. It is the funding source the City is counting on to deliver high-priority, often regulatory-driven capital projects for Water infrastructure
Capital Proiects and Use of the Fund Balance

How the phases relate to ftmding
a Phase I ($28.3 million) is fully funded and either in construction or in design. Public Works has confirmed that the proposed discount would not affect these projects. @ PhaseII($56.45million)isanticipatedtobefundedoverthefive-yearplanningperiodfrom the remaining balance plus ongoing rate revenue. Any reduction in planned funding would affect the timing of these projects, potentially causing delays. a Phase III ($80 million) is currently unfunded and will require new revenue, including a future water rate adjustment.

Identified needs ($164.75 million in total, or $84.75 million for Phases I and II alone) far exceed the roughly $47 million available one-time capacity. The balance is therefore fully allocated to real, identified needs. Any dollars effectively redirected to a discount program must come from delaying Phase II work. The in-progress, funded Phase I projects are protected.

How the Conditional, One-Time Discount Would Work The concept is a one-time discount applied to water bills for City water customers over a defined period (for example, about one year), taking effect only in the event the UUT measure is approved by voters. The City Council could adopt a resolution in advance that describes the discount and expressly conditions it on the measure's passing.

It is important to accurately describe the discount. Water rates themselves would not change.

Instead, the City would apply temporary credits to bills, reducing the revenue the City actually collects during the program period. Tis is best understood as revenue not billed, not as the City writing checks from a pile of surplus cash.

Because less revenue is billed and subsequently collected, less money flows into the water fund that year. The effect is a deferral of capital funding: with less cash available, some planned capital work must be delayed, phased differently, or resized. Given that Phase I is funded and protected, the practical effect of a discount falls on the timing of Phase II projects.

JThy a multi-year discount is not recommended
A one-time discount uses one-time capacity. Repeating the discount over multiple years would compound the impact on the water fund and the CIP, delay more projects, and threaten system reliability and regulatory compliance. Delaying capital projects is further not advisable because project costs generally increase over time due to inflation, resulting in higher future expenditures for the same improvements. It would also likely require larger future rate increases once the program ended. For these reasons, staff would not recommend a multi-year structure.

Discount Scenarios and Equity for Non-City Customers Not all residents inside city limits are City water customers. About 1,200 are served by Golden State Water, and a small number are served by other non-City providers. These customers would not receive a City water bill discount automatically.

To treat residents equitably, the City Coiu'icil could consider reimbursing non-City providers so they can pass through an equivalent one-time credit, or reimburse customers directly. Those reimbursements would come from the General Fund, not the Water Fund, because the City does not bill or collect revenue from those customers and Water Fund resources may be used only for 6 26
City water utility purposes and City water customers. Any comparable relief for non-City customers would not be automatic. It would require a separate agreement or other legally approved mechanism, verification of eligible accounts, administrative controls, and a documented public- purpose finding, so that funds are used only for eligible accounts and for the intended one-time credit. Because a General Fund payment to a private utility or its customers raises public-purpose and gift-of-public-funds considerations under the California Constitution, the City Attorney should review and approve the structure before any such relief is offered. The table below shows illustrative scenarios combining both impacts. Additionally, discount programs, such as this, will require staff time and resources to administer
One-time City water customers - Non-City Customers ApprOL discount level water revenue not collected Reimbursement combined (one year) (Water Fund) (General Fund)
1 0%
I
1 5%
-$2.2 million $300,000-$400,000 -$2.6 million
.. -$450,000-$500,000-$3.3 million (est.) -$3.8 million 20% -$4.4 million -$600,000 -$5.0 million
All figures are illustrative planning estimates. Water Fund amounts are derived from an approximate $22 million annual billed-revenue base; the 15% reimbursement estimate is interpolated between the 1 0% and20% figures. Final amounts depend on the actual billed-revenue base and program design.

Two separate budgets are affected. The discount for City water customers affects water fund capacity and the timing of the Phase II project. Any reimbursement for non-City customers creates a new General Fund cost that competes with other City priorities. The Council should weigh both.

Long-Term Funding Outlook and Future Rate Adiustment Apart from the discount, the water fund faces a structural funding gap. Annual rate revenue of about $22 million roughly matches operating and debt service costs, so current rates do not rebuild reserves. The $47 million one-time capacity is finite and is being drawn down by the funded and planned capital program, and the $80 million of Phase III needs is entirely unfunded. For these reasons, the City will likely need a water rate adjustment within approximately the next two to three years to keep the 'fund healthy and stable.

This need exists independently of the proposed discount and of the UUT measure; it is driven by capital needs and by rates that do not replenish reserves. If a discount is adopted, it would reduce one year of collected revenue and could affect the timing of a future rate adjustment, but it is not the cause of the underlying need.

The amount and timing of any rate adjustment would be determined by an updated cost-of-service rate study and set through the Proposition 218 majority-protest process, which requires mailed notice to affected parcels, apublic hearing, and separate Council action. No rate change is proposed or decided by this report. Staff intend to bring an updated rate study forward in advance of any proposed adjustment so the Council and the public can review the basis before any decision. 7 27
Policy Considerations and Risks
a Sustainability. One-time capacity is not suited to ongoing discounts; relief should be time limited.

Regulatory and infrastructure risk. Delaying Phase II projects would push out important upgrades and drive-up future project costs due to inflation and escalating construction expenses. Phase I work, including the PFAS system in design, is protected, which limits near-term compliance and reliability risk.

Ratepayer expectations. Once a discount is provided, returning to normal billing can create affordability and political challenges.

General Fund trade-offs. Any General Fund support for non-City customers competes with other services and priorities.

Restricted enterprise fund. Water rates are property-related fees tied to the cost of providing water service under Proposition 218, so Water Fund money may be used only for City water purposes and City water customers. A one-time credit returned to the same City ratepayers who paid those rates stays within these limits. Any relief for non-City customers, b y contrast, must be funded from the General Fund through the separate, legally approved mechanism described above, not from the Water Fund.

Optics and "no surplus" message. Because the discount is funded by deferring projects rather than by spending reserves, the City should be clear in all cornrnunications that no surplus water fund is being spent down. The trade-off is timing of infrastructure, not a giveaway of restricted funds.

Neutrality and legal framing. The City Attorney has advised that the City may present neutral, factual information about conditional budget actions related to the UUT measure, and may adopt a conditional, provisional budgetary action in advance, provided the City does not use public resources to urge a yes or no vote. This approach falls on the informational side of the line that separates lawful public education from prohibited campaign advocacy. Any future resolution, staff report, public cornrnunication, or customer notice should be reviewed for neutrality and should describe fiscal consequences, program mechanics, and trade-offs without campaign language.

Implementation Controls
Ifthe Council directs staffto develop a program, staffrecommend that the implementing resolution include the following controls:
* Eligibility. Limited to active City water accounts during a defined billing period. The credit would not be applied to accounts more than 90 days past due as of each credit application date, except for accounts on a payment plan or in documented billing dispute. Eligibility would be determined separately for each credit applied during the program ternn. a Form of relief. A temporary bill credit, with no cash refunds unless legally required. * Duration and sunset. A single defined program term, with no carryforward beyond the term and a fixed sunset date.

Authority to terminate. The Council reserves the authority to suspend or end the program, with no extension without separate Council action.

Audit trail. Documentation of credits applied, accounts served, and total cost, suitable for audit.

Customer communication. Neutral, factual notices that describe the credit and its basis without campaign language.
8 28
Non-City customer reimbursement (if applicable). If the Council directs comparable relief for non-City water customers (Option 3), implementation would proceed through either (1) an agreement with the non-City provider under which the provider applies the credit to customer bills and invoices the City for reimbursement, or (2) a direct customer reimbursement process under wich eligible residents submit a copy of their water bill, the City calculates the equivalent percentage credit on the billed water charges, and the City issues a reimbursement check. The choice of mechanism would depend on the participation of each non-City provider. Verification, audit trail, and customer communication controls would mirror those described above, adapted to the chosen mechanism.

Options for Council Consideration
* Option 1: No Water Discount Program
o Pros: Preserves the 'lull water fund balance and the current CIP schedule; no new General Fund cost.
o Cons: Provides no direct water bill relief to residents. * Option 2: Conditional, One-Time Discount for City Water Customers Only o Pros: Provides short-term relief to City water customers if the {TUT is approved; the impact is limited, defined, and confined to Phase II timing. o Cons: Requires deferring or resizing Phase II projects; does not reach non-City water customers.
* Option 3: Conditional, One-Time Discount with General Fund Support for Non-City Customers
o Pros: More equitable across all water customers within city limits. o Cons: Adds a General Fund cost on top of the water fiind impact; competes with other General Fund priorities.
* Option 4: Multi-Year Water Discount Program (Not Recommended) o A multi-year discount would significantly erode the water fund's ability to deliver necessary capital projects, compound delays to Phase II and beyond, and likely require larger future rate increases when the program ends. 9 29

WHEREAS, the City of South Gate ("City") owns and operates a municipal water system (the "Water Utility") as a self-supporting enterprise, with rates and charges adopted by the City Council pursuant to Article XIII D, Section 6 of the California Constitution ("Proposition 218"); WHEREAS, the City's current water rate structure was established by Resolution No. 7442, adopted August 9, 2011, following a Water Rate Study dated June 2011 and the Proposition 218 notice and hearing process; the last scheduled rate adjustment under ResolutionNo. 7442 took effect in Fiscal Year 2015-16, and water rates have not been adjusted since; WHEREAS, the Water Utility holds an accumulated fund balance of approximately $57 million, much of which is one-time in nature and is programmed to fund identified Water Capital Improvement Program ("CIP") projects; annual water rate revenue of approximately $22 million is closely matched to annual operating costs plus debt service, and therefore current rates contribute little or nothing to reserves on an ongoing basis; WHEREAS, on April 14, 2026, the City Council adopted ResolutionNo. Q directing staff to submit a Utility Users Tax ("{TUT") measure to the voters at the November 3, 2026, General Municipal Election ("{ITUT Measure");
WHEREAS, on June 23, 2026, the City Council received and considered a staff report titled "Consideration of a Resolution Establishing a Conditional, One-Time Water Bill Discount Program, and Impacts on the Water Fund and Capital Improvement Program" (the "Staff Report"), describing a conditional, one-time water bill discount program (the "Program"); WHEREAS, the Program is presented as a conditional budget policy option that would take effect only if the UUT Measure is approved by voters, and only after City Council approval of program parameters as set forth in this Resolution; the Program is not contingent on any specific election outcome other than approval of the [T[JT Measure, and this Resolution does not advocate for or against the {J[JT Measure;
WHEREAS, the Program is fiinded through the deferral or reprioritization of Phase II Water CIP projects in an amount approximately equal to the Program's revenue impact, and is not 'funded from "surplus" water revenues or from any General Fund or other restricted-fund source; (p
30 WHEREAS, the Program does not change the water rates established by Resolution No. 7442; the rate structure continues in effect and continues to produce the same revenue per unit of water delivered, and the Program is therefore a temporary bill credit applied after rates are determined, not a rate adjustment subject to a new Proposition 218 process; WHEREAS, the Program is structured as auniform percentage-based, one-time temporary bill credit program available to active City water customers during the Program Term, and the credit is returned to the same ratepayers from whom water revenues are collected, consistent with the cost-of-service principles of Proposition 218;
WHEREAS, the eligibility criteria set forth in Section 8.A of this Resolution apply uniformly to all City water customer accounts and are based on neutral administrative criteria related to the operational status of each account at the time each credit is applied; the exclusion of seriously delinquent accounts (defined in Section 8.A as accounts more than ninety days past due, with exceptions for accounts on an active payment plan or in documented dispute) is intended to ensure that one-time bill credits provide direct cost relief to customers actively paying for water service rather than being applied to long-outstanding unpaid balances, and is not based on any customer characteristic unrelated to the operation of the water utility; WHEREAS, the Water Utility's outstanding revenue bonds, consisting of the 2019 Series A Water Revenue Re:[unding Bonds (Tax-Exempt) and the 2019 Series A-T Water Revenue Refunding Bonds (Taxable), require annual debt service of approximately $2.5 million through Fiscal Year 2035-36, with a rate covenant requiring net water system revenues equal to at least

1.15 times annual debt service; because the Program does not change water rates and because the Water Fund earns investment income on its accumulated balance, projected net revenues continue to satisfy the rate covenant under the Program;
WHEREAS, the City's adopted Financial and Budgetary Policies, Section 5.8 (Water Fund Reserve), establish a target Working Capital and Catastrophic Reserve equal to 180 days (50%) of annual Water Fund operating expenses, approximately $10 million (currently estimated at $10.7 million under the adopted reserve policy); the Program is structured to preserve this reserve at the policy target;
WHEREAS, any reimbursement to non-City water providers to enable comparable relief for their customers, if directed by the City Council, shall be funded from the General Fund and not from the Water Fund, consistent with Article XIII D, Section 6 of the California Constitution and the City's prior treatment of water utility discounts requiring a non-Enterprise Fund subsidy; WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the adoption of this Resolution is not a "project" within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), Public Resources Code section 21000 et seq., and the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, title 14, section 15000 et seq., because it is a government fiscal activity that does not involve any 31 commitment to any specific project that may result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable physical change in the environment (CEQA Guidelines § 15378(b)(4)-(5)); and WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that the Program serves a legitimate municipal and water utility purpose by providing temporary cost relief to City water ratepayers, by aligning the timing of capital investment with available financial capacity, and by maintaining the financial integrity of the Water Utility.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH GATE, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Conditional Effectiveness. No bill credit shall be applied under the Program unless and until the upcoming Municipal Election to be heldNovember 3, 2026, and the results approving the {JUT Measure have been certified.

ANALYSIS: The City is currently facing a General Fund budget deficit exceeding $9.4 Million, As part of the Fiscal Year 2026/27 budget development process, all departments were directed to identify expenditure reductions to help address the City's fiscal challenges. On June 9, 2026, the 1 37
City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2026/27 0perating Budget, which incorporated a variety of cost-saving measures recommended by departments.

Public Works evaluated multiple budget reduction opportunities. However, because many Public Works programs are supported by enterprise funds, special revenue funds, grants, and other restricted funding sources, opportunities to reduce General Fund-supported expenditures were limited. As a result, staff evaluated operational changes within existing programs that could generate meaningful savings while maintaining service levels.

Under Contract No. 2022-83-CC, United Pacific Services, Inc. (UPS) provides comprehensive citywide tree maintenance services. The agreement established a four-year grid trimming cycle and includes a provision allowing the contract to be extended annually, for up to four one-year terms, subject to City Council approval. As part of the budget reduction evaluation, staff assessed the operational and financial impacts of extending the tree trimming cycle from four years to five years. Based on maintenance needs, service demands, and available resources, staff determined that a five-year cycle is operationally feasible and would continue to provide an acceptable level of service wile reducing annual contract costs by approximately $127,348.

This cost-saving measure was incorporated into the Fiscal Year 2026/27 0perating Budget approved by the City Coiu'icil. Amendment No. 3 to Contract No. 2022-83-CC implements that budget reduction by modifying the tree trimming cycle from four years to five years and exercising the next available one-year contract extension through June 30, 2027. The amendment will allow the City to continue providing essential urban forest maintenance services while aligning program expenditures with current fiscal conditions.

Staff also evaluated rebidding the contract to determine whether sufficient savings could be achieved to maintain the existing four-year trimming cycle. However, the City is currently benefiting from pricing established in 2022/23, and annual adjustments have historically been limited to CPI-based increases that have been mutually acceptable to boththe City and UPS. Given current market conditions and increased labor, equipment, fuel, and insurance costs, staff expects that a new solicitation would result in higher pricing. As a result, rebidding the contract is not expected to generate savings and would likely increase the cost of maintaining the City's tree maintenance program.

While tree trimming cycles vary among municipalities based on urban forest conditions, service expectations, and available funding, five-year trimming cycles are not uncommon within the urban forestry industry. In addition, the City recently implemented a comprehensive hazard mitigation effort through Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. 2022-83-CC, which funded the removal of dead, diseased, distressed, and structurally compromised trees, as well as corrective maintenance on higher-risk trees identified through a citywide urban forest assessment. As a result of these proactive measures, combined with ongoing tree maintenance activities and continued funding for emergency response, hazardous tree trimming, and resident service requests, staff believes the City's urban forest can be effectively maintained under a five-yeartrimming cycle while continuing to provide an acceptable level of service and public safety while achieving necessary budgetary savings.

BACKGROUND: The City owns and maintains an urban forest consisting of more than 17,500 trees located throughout public streets, parks, medians, and City facilities. These trees requtre 2 38
ongoing maintenance to support public safety, tree health, visibility, and protection of public infrastructure
The Public Works Department oversees the City's urban forestry program through a contracted tree maintenance provider. On September 27, 2022, the City Council approved ContractNo. 2022- 83-CC with United Pacific Services, Inc. (UPS) in an amount not to exceed $3,789,545, establishing a four-year contract term and a four-year grid trirnrning cycle. Under the agreement, UPS provides comprehensive citywide tree maintenance services, including grid trimming, tree removals, emergency response, and ongoing care of the City's urban forest, which consists of more than 17,500 trees.

On September 26, 2023, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. 2022-83- CC, increasing the contract amount by $861,425 to fiind priority tree maintenance services, annual off-cycle special trims, and well site tree trimming at the Hawkins Water Production Facility. The amendment was necessary to implement recommendations from a citywide urban forest assessment that identified a significant backlog of dead, diseased, distressed, and structurally compromised trees posing potential risks to public safety. The assessment categorized trees into Priority 1, 2, and 3 risk levels based on the urgency of corrective action needed. Because addressing these hazardous conditions required resources beyond the scope of the original agreement, Amendment No. 1 provided supplemental funding to accelerate the removal and maintenance of high-risk trees throughout the City.

In April 2025, Amendment No. 2 to Contract No. 2022-83-CC was executed, reallocating the amount balances within the original submitted bid schedule for Year 3 of the contract (FY 2024/25). Specifically, adjustments were made to individual bid items including reductions to annual grid trimming, off-cycle special request trimming, and tree installation services, offset by increases to tree and stump removal and crew rental services. The total contract amount for Year 3 remained unchanged at $1,145,098, and no changes were made to the scope of work.

Staff worked with the contractor to assess transitioning from a four-year to five-year tree trirnrning cycle. Tree trimming cycles are periodically reviewed to balance service levels, operational needs, risk management, and available funding. Under the current four-year cycle, approximately 14,000 parkway trees are trimmed unevenly by geographic zones, with approximately 2,792 trees trimmed in Year 1, 3,601 trees in Year 2, 5,059 trees in Year 3, and 3,232 trees in Year 4, resulting in fluctuating annual workloads and costs, with the current trimming schedule producing significant annual workload variations between maintenance zones.

The proposed five-year cycle would distribute trirnrning activities more evenly, creating a more balanced and sustainable maintenance program while reducing annual costs by approximately $127,348. The contract will continue to include fiinding for special tree trimming services to address hazardous conditions, priority locations, emergency response work, and resident service requests outside of the regular trimming cycle.

Palm tree maintenance, which is typically performed on a more frequent cycle due to species- specific requirements, will continue under its current maintenance schedule and will not be impacted by the proposed transition to a five-year cycle. Tree maintenance services within City parks will also continue to be supported through contributions from the Parks and Recreation Department.

SUBJECT: fflNDMF,NT NO. I TO CONTRACT N0. 2023-60-CC WITH KOA

CORPORATION FOR ADDITIONAL PROFF,SSIONAL F,NGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE DF,SIGN OF THE TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS AT mTERS'ERCrl'ONS AJ,ONG CALIFORNIA AVF,NtJF, AND SOUTHF,RN AVENUF,, CITY PROJECT N0. 681-ST PURPOSE: To approve Amendment No. I to Contract No. 2023-60-CC with KOA Corporation for additional design engineering services required to obtain Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) approval of design plans and permits for the Traffic Improvements at Intersections along California Avenue and Southern Avenue (Intersection Improvements) within LADWP right-of-way.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council wilt consider:
a. Approving Amendment No. k to Contract No. 2023-60-CC with KOA Corporation ("Agreement"), to fund additional design services for the Traffic Improvements at Intetsections along California Avenue and Southern Avenue, City Project No. 681-ST, fot a not to exceed amount of $43,628;
b. Appropriating $43,628 in the Highway Safety Improvement Program Grant Funds to fund the services proposed under Amendment No, 1 to Contract No. 2023-60-CC; c, Appropriating $30,000 in Prop C Funds to budget staff time for the Traffic Improvements at Intetsections along CaliforniaAvenue and SouthernAvenue, City ProjectNo. 681-ST; and d, Authorizing the Mayor to execute Amendment No. l to Contract No. 2023-60-CC in a form acceptableito the City Attorney.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no impact to the General Fund. Amendment No, l to Contract No. 2023-60-CC is in the atnount of $43,628 and it is proposed to be funded with Highway Safety Improvement (HSIP) Grant Futids. The project budget for the design phase is summarized below, Services HSIP Funds Road Mitigation
Fee Prop C Funds Total
ContractNo. 2023-60-CC $203,000 $203,000
Amendment No. 1 $43,628 $43,628
Staff Time $14,000 $30,000 $44,000
Total $246,628 $14,000 $30,000 $290,628
76 ANALYSIS: KOA Corporation is currently under contract to prepare the design and constniction documents for the Intersection Improvements Project. While the majority of the proposed improvements are located within public street rights-of-way, portions of the project impact property and facilities owned by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), including improvements at intersections along Southern Avenue that are under shared jurisdiction.

As part of its review process, LADWP has required additional engineering documentation that was not included in the original scope of services. Specifically, LADWP requires a detailed survey of existing overhead electrical conductors and the identification of all proposed improvements with corresponding elevations and coordinated data. To satisfy these requirements and obtain LADWP approval of the project plans and permits, KOA Corporation must perform additional surveying work and update the project plans, specifications, and supporting design documents.

Amendment No. 1 provides the additional design engineering services necessary to address LADWP requirements for the three affected intersections along Southern Avenue. The cost of the additional services is $43,628, as reflected in proposed Amendment No. 1.

BACKGROUND: The Intersection Improvements Project is included in the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Capital Improvement Program and is intended to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility at seven intersections located along Southern Avenue and California Avenue. Planned improvements include a traffic signal modification to provide protected left-turn phasing at the intersection of California Avenue and Santa Ana Street. Improvements at the remaining project intersections include pedestrian-activated flashing beacons, high-visibility crosswalks, updated signage and pavement markings, curb ramp upgrades, and other pedestrian safety enhancements designed to improve visibility and reduce conflicts between motorists and pedestrians along Southern Avenue and California Avenue.

Three of the project intersections located along Southern Avenue include improvements that are partially situated within property and right-of-way owned by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP). As a result, the proposed improvements are subject to LADWP review, approval, and permitting requirements prior to construction.

On May 9, 2023, the City Council approved Contract No. 2023-60-CC with KOA Corporation in the amount of $194,647 to provide engineering design services and prepare the plans, specifications, and estimates necessary for project construction. Design is currently underway and is nearing completion.

During LADWP's review of the project, additional design requirements were identified for the improvements located within LADWP property. Specifically, LADWP requires supplemental surveying and engineering documentation, including the identification of existing overhead electrical facilities and the preparation of design information with associated elevations and coordinating data. These requirements were not included in the original scope of services.

To satisfy LADWP's permitting requirements and obtain approval of the project plans, additional engineering design services are necessary. Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. 2023-60-CC in the amount of $43,628 will fund the additional surveying, design, and plan preparation services required to update the project plans and specifications and advance the project toward construction. 77 ATT ACHMENTS:

Subject: Engineering Services Proposal for Traffic Improvements at Intersections along California Avenue and Southern Avenue, Project No. 681-ST
Addendum No. 1- Additional Services
Dear Jose:

KOA Corporation (KOA) is pleased to submit the enclosed proposal to provide additional services for Traffic Improvements at Intersections along California Avenue and Southern Avenue Project. The scope of work is provided below for review by City of South Gate, followed by a fee estimate and schedule. Let us know if you have any questions or comments regarding this letter proposal.

SCOPE OF WORK
TASK 101 - ADDITIONAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT
The scope and duration of project services have extended beyond the original two-year schedule and we are now approaching year four of the project. While our team has continued to provide consistent project management support to maintain quality, schedule and stakeholder communication, the additional effort required to manage the extended timeline has exceeded the original budget allocation.

The initial project management budget was originally based on a two-year schedule, which projected construction and as- built plans to be completed by December 2024. However, as of December 2025, the project is currently at the 90% design phase, with construction completion now anticipated for December 2026. Within this extended schedule, we have accounted for 44 hours of additional project management and meeting time between January 2025 to December 2025.

The additional budget will allow KOA to attend additional progress meetings, sustain the same level of technical support, documentation, and inter-agency coordination necessary to deliver the project successfully and in alignment with client expectations. A portion of the additional project management budget (42 hours) will be applied to the additional project management hours spent between January 2026 to December 2026.

TASK 102 - LADWP COORDINATION AND SUPPORT

AS-NEEDED COORDINATION & SUPPORT ALLOWANCE
LADWP coordination was not included in the original project scope or budget. As the project has progressed, the City has identified the need for additional engagement with LADWP to address design considerations, right-of-way impacts and additional studies to satisfy agency needs. While the City will continue to lead all primary LADWP coordination efforts, the City has requested KOA to participate in a supporting role to ensure the project remains technically sounds and compliant with LADWP requirements.

This support includes reviewing LADWP plan comments, attending coordination meetings as requested by the City, and providing technical input or revisions as needed to maintain design accuracy. These activities were not anticipated in the initial scope, but are necessary to ensure the project components remain coordinated and fully integrated with LADWP standards.

To cover the additional effort required for plan review, meeting participation, and technical input, KOA is requesting supplemental budget. This will allow us to continue supporting the City effectively while maintains the integrity and quality of the design documents.

Note: Budget is limited to what is shown in the fee schedule. If level of effort exceeds what we have anticipated, KOA reserves the right to request additional budget.

ADDITIONAL TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY
To avoid the need for a conductor survey, LADWP has requested that elevations for all proposed poles and signs be provided at each location within LADWP's right-of-way. To meet this requirement, additional topographic surveying is needed at three intersections along Southern Avenue-Kauffman Avenue, Victoria Avenue, and Elizabeth Avenue-to establish locations and elevations for the proposed poles and signs in CCS83 and NAVD88 datums. The work will include one day of field data collection along with associated office coordination. Deliverables will consist of survey points only, with no additional drafting included.

TASK 103 - TECHNICAL SPECIFICIATIONS REVISIONS
KOA will revise the technical specifications to:

1. Split the project into two phases. Phase 1 will include improvements along California Avenue, while Phase 2 will incorporate improvements along Southern Avenue.

2. Integrate LADWP requirements, sections, forms, etc.

We are anticipating one final submittal of the specifications to the City for review and approval.

FEE ESTIMATE
KOA will perform the work specified in the scope above based on the time and materials fee not to exceed $43,628.00 as shown below:

TASK 2 - AGENCY AND UTILITY COORDINATION
KOA will obtain a list from the City of utility companies known to own and operate facilities in the City of South Gate. KOA will send an email notice with our standard utility response form, and a map of the project site to all relevant utility companies. We will request information from them including record drawings of their facilities, prior rights information, and any planned upgrades expected in the near future.

Utility responses will be logged and information regarding existing facilities will be shown on our plans. In some cases, the utility owner may require a request presented on City letterhead. We will coordinate these situations, if needed, with the City's Project Manager. KOA will provide the City Project Manager with a utility response list and maps and/or data received when all utility companies have responded. KOA will compile all as-builts received from the utility agencies and develop a utility base map that will be referenced into the project plans.

Southern California Edison
KOA will coordinate with Southern California Edison (SCE) for the proposed electrical design required for the proposed intersection safety lighting. We will coordinate our design and service loads with the SCE service planner to determine service points and design.

City of Huntington Park
KOA will coordinate with the City of Huntington Park for the review and approval of the California Avenue/Santa Ana Street traffic signal plan. We will revise the traffic signal plan per the City's comments and coordinate approval as required.

Utility Relocation Coordination
We have reviewed the proposed improvements and have determined that no major utility relocation coordination will be required. Utility adjustments on this project have been determined to be minor in nature (adjust to grade). KOA will coordinate with the City of South Gate Water Department for the relocation of fire hydrants.

Utility Potholing
C Below will perform utility potholing for the project. At the time we are assuming four (4) potholes will be required at the intersection of California Avenue/Sanata Ana Street.

TASK 3 - RECORDS RESEARCH AND FIELD REVIEWS
Records Research
KOA will work with the City to obtain record drawings and documents relevant to the project corridor.

Record drawings and documents can include, but are not limited to existing improvement plans, topographic maps, assessor maps, centerline ties, corner records, as-built plans, utility plans, traffic counts, previous traffic studies, etc. We will send our requests for record drawings and documents through the City's Project Manager.

Field Review & Site Evaluation
Upon receipt of the topographic survey any available as-built records from the City, we will visit the project site to fully evaluate existing conditions. We will:
* Verify record drawings.
* Investigate and verify existing roadway geometry, including striping, pavement markings, and signage.

Verify existing pull boxes, utility manholes/valves, traffic signal poles/equipment, street lighting, power poles, cabinets, fire hydrants, etc.
* We will document the site visit with photos and field notes.

Base Plan Preparation
Upon completion of our field review, we will prepare accurate base plans. The base plan will show existing centerlines, curb, gutter, sidewalk, landscaping, right-of-way, curb ramps, driveways, pavement delineations, markings, roadside signs, pull boxes, utility manholes/valves, power poles, fire hydrants, and all other information that was documented during our field review. We believe putting extra time and effort into the preparation of accurate base plans is a critical step because they will serve as the foundation of our design.

Task 3 Deliverables:

Seone of Work FY 2026/27 FY 2027/28 Amendment No- 2 Tweedy Mile Maintenance $91,380 $91,380 $182,760
Firestone Median l'mprovements $22,930 $22,930
Total $114,310 $91,380 $205,690
ANALYSIS: The City contracts with Mariposa to provide citywide landscaping and general maintenance services for landscaped medians, commercial corridors, parking lots, and other City-owned facilities. Recently, new landscaped areas were installed withiii the Tweedy Mile 102
District as part of corridor beautification improvements. These landscaped areas now require ongoing maintenance to preserve plant health, maintain aesthetic quality, and ensure the long- term sustainability of the improvements.

Amendment No. 2 will expand Mariposa's existing scope of work to include maintenance services for the newly landscaped areas within the Tweedy Mile perimeter. Services include hand watering twice per week, maintenance of flower beds, replacement of plant materials, and annual mulch refreshment. Mariposa submitted a proposal dated May 12, 2026, in the amount of $7,615 per month, or $91,380 annually. The proposed amendment includes two years of maintenance services totaling $182,760.

In addition, six unfinished landscape median cut-out locations along Firestone Boulevard currently remain unimproved. These locations consist of exposed dirt areas within landscaped medians that were intended for future landscaping improvements. The proposed work includes removal of unsuitable material, extension of drip irrigation, placement and compaction of decomposed granite, and installation of forty-eight (48) five-gallon Foxtail Agaves. Mariposa submitted a proposal dated May 20, 2026, in the amount of $22,930 to complete the improvements.

Approval of Amendment No. 2 will ensure that the Tweedy Mile landscape improvements are properly maintained and that the remaining median landscaping along Firestone Boulevard is completed consistent with the City's beautification objectives and maintenance standards.

BACKGROUND: The City operates and maintains landscaping and irrigation systems located throughout public streets, landscape medians, parking lots, and other City-owned facilities.

Under Contract No. 2024-82-CC, Mariposa Landscape Services provides citywide landscaping and general maintenance services, including landscape maintenance, irrigation system repairs, trash abatement, pressure washing, weed control, and other related grounds maintenance activities.

On October 22, 2024, the City Council approved Contract No. 2024-82-CC with Mariposa in the amount of $1,361,016 for annual citywide landscaping and general maintenance services for a three-year term. On July 8, 2025, the City Council approved Amendment No. I to expand services associated with newly constructed medians and restoration projects throughout the City for a not-to-to-exceed amount of $451,370.

Since approval of Amendment No. 1, additional landscaping improvements have been installed within the Tweedy Mile District that were not included in the original Agreement or Amendment No. 1. These newly landscaped areas now require ongoing maintenance services to preserve plant health, maintain aesthetic quality, and ensure the long-term sustainability of the improvements. Amendment No. 2 provides $91,380 annually to fund landscape maintenance services within the Tweedy Mile District.

Additionally, several unfinished landscape cut-out areas remain along Firestone Boulevard medians. These locations were originally intended to receive landscaping improvements but currently consist of exposed dirt areas within the median islands. Amendment No. 2 will provide irrigation and landscaping improvements at six locations to complete the median enhancements and improve corridor aesthetics.

Amendment No. I to the Agreement provides the necessary services to support both ongoing and one-time landscape improvements.
