Date: October 6, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Aram Chaparyan, City Manager
By: Carlos Huizar, Senior Management Associate | [email protected] Subject: City Manager – Ratify Prior Council Action, Approve Amendment to Grant of Easement for Water Facilities on a Portion of City-Owned Property Located at 20500 Madrona Avenue, and Direct Mayor to Execute Agreement. Expenditure: None.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation of the City Manager that City Council:
1. Ratify the City Council's vote from the January 14, 2025 regular meeting approving the Amendment to Grant of Easement for water facilities; and
2. Approve the Amendment to Grant of Easement to California Water Service for the installation and maintenance of new water facilities on a portion of city-owned property located at 20500 Madrona Avenue; and
3. Direct the Mayor to execute and City Clerk to attest to the Amendment to Grant of Easement on behalf of the City.
FUNDING
None required.
DISCUSSION
On April 9, 2024, the City Council approved the grant of a 12-foot wide permanent, non-exclusive easement to California Water Service (Cal Water) for the installation of a new water main alignment within the City Yard property, located at 20500 Madrona Avenue (C2024-070). This easement was part of Cal Water’s efforts to replace an existing 20-inch water pipeline that serves the Dominguez Torrance station located at 405 Maple Avenue. The replacement is a critical component of the Water Replenishment District (WRD) Goldsworthy Desalter Facility Expansion Project, which aims to enhance regional water sustainability.
During construction, it became evident that an additional easement area would be required to accommodate infrastructure needed to provide fire service for the expanded Desalter Facility.
This fire service infrastructure is essential to meet regulatory requirements and ensure the safe operation of the facility.
1 City Council
October 6, 2026
Consequently, Cal Water requested approval to grant an additional easement area within the City Yard property to facilitate the fire service installation. The City Council subsequently approved the Amendment to the Grant of Easement at the January 14, 2025 meeting.
However, due to formatting and recording guidelines required by the Los Angeles County Recorder’s Office—the previously executed document could not be finalized. Therefore, staff requests that the City Council ratify the prior January 14, 2025 vote and approve the updated Amendment to Grant of Easement so that the current Mayor and City Clerk may execute and attest the paperwork for proper recording.

By: Carlos Huizar, Management Associate | [email protected] Subject: City Manager - Approve Amendment to Grant of Easement for Water Facilities on a Portion of City-Owned Property Located at 20500 Madrona Avenue. Expenditure:
None.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation of the City Manager that City Council approve an Amendment to Grant of Easement to California Water Service Company for new water facilities on a portion of cityowned property located at 20500 Madrona Avenue.
FUNDING
None Required.
DISCUSSION
On April 9, 2024, the City Council approved the grant of a 12-foot wide permanent, non-exclusive easement to California Water Service (Cal Water) for the installation of a new water main alignment within the City Yard property, located at 20500 Madrona Avenue. This easement was part of Cal Water’s efforts to replace an existing 20-inch water pipeline that serves the Dominguez Torrance Station at 405 Maple Avenue. The replacement is a critical component of the Water Replenishment District (WRD) Goldsworthy Desalter Facility Expansion Project, which aims to enhance regional water sustainability.
During the course of construction for the water main project, it became evident that additional easement area would be required to accommodate the installation of infrastructure needed to provide fire service for the expanded Desalter Facility. This fire service infrastructure is essential to meet regulatory requirements and ensure the safe operation of the facility.
As a result, Cal Water is requesting the City Council’s approval to grant additional easement area within the City Yard property to facilitate the fire service installation. This expansion will ensure the new water main project meets all operational and safety requirements and supports the goals of the WRD Desalter Expansion Project.
The proposed easement adjustments will help support the timely completion of the project, which is expected to begin in July 2025.
